The United States is no longer a land of opportunity—it’s a playground for oligarchs. While millions struggle to afford basic necessities like healthcare, housing, and food, the ultra-wealthy and those in power continue to prioritize tax cuts for the elite. The American Dream has been replaced by an American Nightmare.
We'll take a deep dive into how unchecked corporate influence and extreme wealth hoarding have eroded the foundations of democracy and economic stability. We’ll also examine how some MAGA voters—who once believed Trump’s policies would help them—are now realizing the harsh reality of his economic agenda. Is this their FAFO moment? And what are the updates with Wendy Williams?

Lemon LIVE at 5 | MAGA & Trump vs. DEI - with Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett - February 12th, 2025
The Trump administration and MAGA movement have made dismantling DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies one of their top priorities—and they’re delivering on that promise. From canceling all DEI initiatives in the federal government to turning the term into a political insult, efforts toward diversity and inclusion have been systematically rolled back.
So what does this mean for workplaces, government agencies, and communities across the country? How does this impact civil rights, hiring practices, and representation at the highest levels?
To break it all down, Don is joined by Dr. Alaysia Black Hackett, former Chief Diversity and Equity Officer for Biden’s Labor Department, for a deep dive into the consequences of these attacks and what comes next.
