The world feels like it’s spinning out of control. As the war with Iran continues to escalate, the country’s new supreme leader is signaling there will be no backing down, vowing to continue attacks and even keep pressure on global oil routes like the Strait of Hormuz as leverage against the U.S. and its allies.
At the same time, violence here at home is rattling communities across America.
Tonight, Don breaks down the latest developments abroad and the disturbing wave of violence here in the U.S. What is happening right now? Should Americans be worried, and how much further could all of this go? 🍋

Don sits down with attorney and legal analyst Dina Doll to unpack the latest developments in the escalating war and the disturbing reports of atrocities emerging from the conflict. As the human cost grows, Don and Dina examine the legal and political implications and why so many Americans feel the administration’s shifting explanations simply don’t add up.
They also discuss the growing belief that the sudden escalation overseas is serving as a convenient distraction from the unanswered questions surrounding the Epstein files. Most importantly, Don and Dina break down why accountability matters now more than ever and what it will take to hold lawmakers responsible for misleading the public. 🍋

New reporting and deposition footage have raised serious questions about the people from DOGE, including staffers who reportedly had access to sensitive government data like Social Security information, and one particularly painful deposition where a staffer pushing anti-DEI policies struggled to even explain what DEI actually stands for. All this from the same crowd that was aggressively pushing efforts to strip references to Black history, women’s history, and diversity initiatives from public institutions.
So this morning Don breaks down the latest revelations, the uncomfortable depositions, and the bigger question: who exactly was put in charge of the country’s data and institutions… and did they have any idea what they were doing? 🍋

Don sits down with political strategist and friend of the show Mike Nellis to break down the latest chaos coming out of Washington. As the conflict with Iran escalates, the political fallout is growing and the economic consequences are already being felt at home, with rising oil and energy prices threatening to push inflation higher and slow U.S. growth.
Don and Mike discuss why the war is proving wildly unpopular with Americans, what it could mean for the economy and the upcoming elections, and whether the administration has any real strategy as the situation spirals.
