LEMON DROP | Time To Boot Pete Hegseth!
Don breaks down the explosive reporting on the Venezuelan boat strikes and the allegation that Pete Hegseth may have ordered that everyone on those vessels be killed. If true, national security experts are already calling it what it is: a war crime. Donald Trump now claims he did not know about the order, but that excuse raises even more questions. How can a commander in chief distance himself from a military-style operation carried out under his watch? And if he truly didn’t know… what does that say about who is actually in charge? Don digs into the timeline, the denials, the shifting narratives, and the growing calls for accountability. Is it time for Trump to fire Hegseth? And will he, or will politics once again outweigh basic responsibility? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

HOT TOPICS | Donald Trump's Callous Response to D.C. Shooting - November 28th, 2025
This morning we begin with the heartbreaking news that one of the National Guard members shot in Washington, D.C. has now passed away after the horrific attack near the White House. But even in a moment like this, Donald Trump is doing what he always does, using a national tragedy to push his own agenda and turn the focus back onto himself. Instead of leading with empathy or unity, he’s choosing self-interest and political opportunism. Don breaks down the details of this terrible incident, the reaction from officials, and Trump’s response, which once again reveals exactly where his priorities lie.
