LEMON DROP | State of the CHAOS with Tara Palmeri, Mike Nellis, Michael Fanone, & Glenn Kirschner
What do you get when you put Don Lemon, Tara Palmeri, Mike Nellis, Michael Fanone, and Glenn Kirschner in one livestream? A reality check we all desperately need.
From the chaos in Los Angeles, where Trump’s administration keeps sending in troops no one asked for, to the rising tension between Israel and Iran (and U.S. involvement that feels like we’re inching toward World War III), this conversation goes deep.
Plus: the ever-growing pile of Trump nonsense, legal failures, and the dangerous erosion of democratic norms happening right under our noses.
No spin. No fluff. Just facts, frustration, and some hard truth from the people who’ve seen it all up close.
Buckle up, it’s a lot.

Lemon LIVE at 5 | Missiles, Mayhem, and a Birthday Parade? - June 13th, 2025
Just one day before Trump’s multi-million-dollar birthday military parade, the world is teetering on the edge of global conflict. After Israel launched strikes on Iran, Iran retaliated, and now, the U.S. is reportedly stepping in. Because nothing says “peace through strength” like a potential world war... and a massive military parade.
While tensions in the Middle East explode, Trump is busy polishing tanks for his party and pretending everything’s just fine. Meanwhile, Americans are bracing for the fallout, both literal and figurative.
Is this the brink of World War III? Or just another day in this surreal reality show we call politics? Join Don and the Lemon Legends as we break down the global chaos, the domestic dysfunction, and the dystopian optics of it all.

HOT TOPICS | World War III? Crackdowns on Protests? Welcome to Trump’s America - June 13th, 2025
Last night, Israel launched strikes on Iran, an unprecedented escalation that has global leaders on edge and many wondering: are we staring down the barrel of World War III? Meanwhile, back home, things aren’t looking any more stable.
In Los Angeles, the Trump administration continues to back its unconstitutional deployment of the National Guard to silence protesters. And just when we thought the authoritarianism couldn’t get any more blatant, Senator Alex Padilla was detained and dragged out of a Kristi Noem press event for asking questions. Yes, really.
Trump once claimed he’d “end the wars.” Instead, it looks like he’s starting new ones, both abroad and at home. Let's unpack the chaos, connect the dots, and ask the question on everyone’s mind: what the hell is happening?

Lemon LIVE at 5 | What Just Happened to Senator Padilla? - June 12th, 2025
In a shocking and brutal display of authoritarian overreach, Senator Alex Padilla was forcibly removed from a Kristi Noem press event in Los Angeles. And by “forcibly,” we mean tackled and dragged to the ground by Noem’s security detail because apparently asking questions is now a punishable offense.
So… this is where we are now? Elected officials being physically assaulted for showing up in their own state? Is this Kristi Noem’s version of “law and order”? Or just more of the GOP’s ongoing war on decency, democracy, and basic human rights?
Join Don as we break down the footage, the fallout, and what this all means for the future of political dissent in America. It’s giving fascism.
