Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump's Mission: NOT Accomplished - June 24th, 2025

Don sits down with Michael Fanone and Michael Cohen to break down the chaos that’s defined Trump’s first 100 days back in office, and spoiler...it’s not pretty. From spiraling economic turmoil and job-killing tariffs, to unconstitutional deportations and nonstop attacks on anyone who dares disagree, this presidency is already rewriting the definition of dysfunction. Whether it’s punishing critics, bulldozing legal norms, or turning the government into a revenge tour, one thing’s clear: the damage is real, and it’s only just begun. Join Don, Fanone, and Cohen as they unpack the madness and what it means for the future of the country (if there’s still one left to fix). This episode is sponsored by Shopify.

Should AI Have Boundaries? As AI becomes more powerful and more accessible, the debate over morality and responsibility is heating up. Journalist Jacob Ward joins us to explore the ethical minefield surrounding artificial intelligence. At the center of it all: Elon Musk’s Grok AI, which reportedly may include a model that will do anything it’s asked to do no matter how dangerous, unethical, or flat-out wrong. If you ask AI to do something harmful… and it says yes, who’s to blame? The user? The creator? The code? It’s not science fiction anymore...it’s here. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last night, Trump sat down with ABC’s Terry Moran for what was supposed to be a presidential interview. What we got instead? A familiar blend of denial, deflection, and delusion. From flat-out lies to wild exaggerations, Trump steamrolled through reality...even when Moran tried to fact-check him (which, let’s be honest, didn’t happen nearly enough). The result? A chaotic mess that leaves us wondering: do facts even matter anymore? Don breaks down the most jaw-dropping moments, the missed opportunities, and the dangerous normalizing of nonsense from a man who still refuses to admit truth has consequences. It’s not journalism’s finest hour, but it’s one we definitely need to talk about. This episode is sponsored by Shopify. Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial and start selling today at SHOPIFY.

It’s Day 100 of Trump’s second term, and not only is the economy spiraling, but America’s patience with the ultra-wealthy is wearing dangerously thin. Public opinion of billionaires is sinking fast, with Elon Musk’s approval ratings plummeting and Jeff Bezos now quietly walking back Amazon’s plan to show how Trump’s tariffs are jacking up prices. (Because heaven forbid people know who’s actually making things worse.) Tonight, Don breaks down the growing resentment toward America’s richest, and how, once again, it feels like the billionaires are selling out the rest of the country to protect their own bottom line. Pop the popcorn, Lemon Nation, the class divide is about to get a lot louder. This episode is sponsored by Shopify. Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial and start selling today at SHOPIFY.

We are deeply saddened to share that Congressman Gerry Connolly has resigned as Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, citing his ongoing battle with esophageal cancer. Congressman Connolly has been a dedicated public servant throughout his career, and we send him and his family strength and support during this difficult time. But as Don warned back in December, the Democratic Party missed an important opportunity. Instead of selecting a younger, more dynamic leader like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they stuck with the "safe" choice, and now find themselves scrambling for new leadership at a critical moment. Join Don as he revisits the warning he gave months ago, and breaks down what this moment means for the future of Democratic leadership, and why bold choices matter. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to Day 100 of Trump’s second term...and what a flaming dumpster fire it’s been. In just 100 days, we’ve seen a crashing economy, a devastated stock market, mass layoffs, skyrocketing prices, unconstitutional deportations, gutted aid programs, regulatory agencies turned into hollow shells, relentless attacks on the media, and open retribution against anyone daring to question the MAGA agenda. If the goal was to break as much as possible, as fast as possible...mission accomplished. Join Don as he breaks down the wreckage, the warning signs, and what the next hundred days could look like if this chaos continues unchecked. Buckle up, Lemon Nation. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Just 99 days into Trump’s presidency, and the wheels already look like they’re coming off. His approval rating is plummeting, the economy is teetering on the edge thanks to reckless tariffs, and immigration policies are diving headfirst into unconstitutional territory. Now, facing mounting backlash, economic fallout, and legal challenges, Trump seems to be quietly walking back some of his biggest campaign promises. (Who could have guessed governing is harder than rage-tweeting?) Don breaks down the growing frustration across the country, the cracks inside MAGA world, and whether Trump’s retreat is too little, too late. Lemon Nation, the chaos is just getting started.
