Chris Brown? Really, Jasmine?! Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Singer Chris Brown has a checkered past, most prominently his domestic violence assault charge against his former girlfriend and fellow musician Rihanna. So when Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett presented Brown with a congressional record recognition during a performance in Arlington, TX over the weekend, many were not happy with her support of the singer. But isn't this country all about redemption stories? And why are many white rock stars not given the same treatment as Chris Brown for doing similar things? Join Don to break this nuanced story down. 🍋

Don Lemon & Jennifer Welch Can't Believe What's Happening At The RNC Convention Sep 11, 2026

Show notes

The RNC "midterm convention" is underway and it's somehow more deranged than expected. Last night featured JD Vance saying that immigrants make the country dirty, Trump making the entire audience pledge allegiance to him, and once again a near-pornographic photo of Hasan Piker. Oh, and Grindr keeps crashing due to overloaded systems. This mess can only be properly analyzed by Don and Jen on Welch's Lemonade. 🍋

We thought the insanity out of the first night of the RNC midterm convention couldn't be topped, but last night proved us wrong.

What is happening?! Join Don to break it all down. 🍋
