Summary

Tonight, we break down the latest in the Iran crisis as tensions continue to rise and the administration’s back-and-forth messaging leaves everyone, especially the markets, with serious whiplash. With Donald Trump set to address the nation, the stakes couldn’t be higher… and the direction couldn’t be less clear. Don is joined by Congresswoman Lauren Underwood to unpack where things stand, what tonight’s address could signal, and how this moment could shape what comes next. Meanwhile, Trump is also facing humiliation at home, as Supreme Court justices appear skeptical of his push on birthright citizenship. Will they rule to uphold the constitution?

Remember, what we want you to do is hit the like and the thumbs up because it does affect the algorithm.

We have lots to talk about. You saw what our thumbnail says. Donald Trump was humiliated today,

0:32.6

humiliated at the Supreme Court and perhaps humiliated in his war with Iran.

0:39.0

But the Supreme Court, he left early.

0:41.6

And we were told it's being described by some as he stormed out.

0:46.0

So welcome to the Don Lemon Show, like and thumbs up.

0:49.0

And look, as we come to you right now, streaming to you, we have some breaking news.

0:52.8

Once again, the precipice of World War III. We're already at war. Does it turn into World War III? We're going to see we have incredible guests, lawmakers joining us as well, and we'll get to them quickly, but I want to catch you up. President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of troops to the Middle East. He did this despite ving hundreds of times to be an anti-war president.

1:12.9

time, as the White House teases a, quote, major announcement. So let's be clear. Truly, anything

1:49.2

could come of the president is out of his mouth tonight. Politico is reporting that Trump

1:53.5

could say that the war effort is winding down. The Wall Street Journal is effectively reporting

1:58.3

that the exact opposite of that, saying the White House is plotting to seize Carg Island.

2:02.1

So Trump could announce that we're leaving NATO, as he has hinted to today and been talking about for some time now.
