@thedailybeastAbout
Independent, irreverent, and unwilling to play by Washington’s choreography, The Daily Beast brings you conversations that reveal how power frays and egos combust. With forensic curiosity we interrogate the stories behind the headlines. It's original reporting without the reverence, sharp analysis without the sanctimony. From the shifting psychodramas of Trumpworld to the cultural spasms reshaping America, we cut through the noise with a clear eye and a raised eyebrow. If you want intelligent skepticism with a pulse—and conversations that reveal what the powerful would prefer stayed off-mic—you’re in the right place.

Video Description
Independent journalist @TheDonLemonShow joins the Beast’s Joanna Coles for a wide-ranging conversation unpacking Trump’s health issues, the MAGA movement’s big problem, and the night RFK Jr. had dinner with Don Lemon. The two dive into Trump’s public appearance at the U.S. Open and ask what the mysterious blue object clenched in his mouth, seen in a candid photo, is. They also dissect JD Vance’s rise, calling him the kind of “DEI hire” conservatives pretend to hate. Later they dig into the contradictions of his wife Usha’s background, the role Black Americans played in securing rights for immigrant communities, and why Trump still manages to suck all the oxygen out of every room. 00:00 - Introduction 02:03 - Don Lemon's Week in DC 07:53 - Donald Trump's Mystery Pill at US Open 08:59 - Lemon: Trump's Not Telling The Truth About His Health 10:30 - WH Press Pool Should Ask More About Trump's Health 12:50 - Trump Won't Give Don Lemon A Press Pass 14:18 - Lemon Gets Call From Wes Moore's Team 16:24 - Newsom's Cutting Through The Noise 20:30 - RFK Jr.'s Senate Hearing 25:05 - Don Lemon's Dinner With RFK Jr. 27:14 - The Future of RFK Jr.'s Political Career 28:50 - Is Trump's Family Vaccinated? 31:50 - Does Trump Deserve Nobel Prize For Operation Warp Speed? 33:32 - Will Trumpism Survive Trump? 34:20 - Was JD Vance A DEI Hire? 36:05 - Is Usha Vance Conflicted About JD's Role? 39:00 - Why Indian Americans Shouldn't Talk Smack About Black People 41:16 - What's Next For Don Lemon 45:43 - RFK Jr. Texts Don Lemon 46:25 - Click The 'Join' Button And Become A Member Of The Daily Beast YouTube Community! #trump #podcast #news 👂 Podcast: The Daily Beast Podcast 📺 Episode: 586 🎧 Format: Full Podcast 📅 Date: September 8, 2025 👨💼 Guest: Don Lemon 🎙️ Host: Joanna Coles Have a question or comment for us?
