The Don Lemon Show

They went back. More than a month after Nolan Wells died, several of the young men who were with him on Horn Island have returned, and photos from the island are already circulating online. Their representatives call it grief and their own investigation. Don takes a closer look at what the return means for a case that's still unresolved, and what it says about who gets the benefit of the doubt.

This week was another chapter in the Nolan Wells story. We received an updated timeline from the United Cajun Navy. Don spoke with a man named Emmanuel who knows the Wells family somewhat, but the conversation morphed into something different all together. We had audio engineer Jeanetta Brantley on to discuss the vile death threats that she and her wife are receiving. Not to mention, a far-right wing podcaster named Brandon Tatum keeps injecting himself into this tragedy and stirring up racial tension related to the case. Whew, what a week. Join Don to break it all down. 🍋 This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp. See the reviews, see what stands out, and see if BetterHelp is right for you. Visit BetterHelp.com/DonLemon.

There has been much scrutiny over Nolan Wells' friend group that he was last seen with before his death. We don't know what happened on July 4th, but they have chosen to appear on a far-right wing podcast to defend themselves and now some of the 'friends' have hired Trump's former lawyer Edward Andrew Paltzik. Don enlisted two attorneys, Charles Coleman and Qasim Rashid, to break down what this means.

The main reason that we cover the death of Nolan Wells as much as we do is to help find answers as to what happened to him on Horn Island. But it's also to expose how much race plays a part in determining who gets justice in America. We know that if a young white man was found dead after being with his Black friend group there would be a swift investigation, arrests made, and the benefit of the doubt given to the white man. Author Eddie Glaude Jr. joins Don this morning to discuss the importance of the Nolan Wells story and how damaging it is for Black creators and politicians to deny the existence of racism in America.

In the last decade, Donald Trump and his MAGA cult have torn down countless literal and figurative elements of what America is. The White House is in shambles. People are grabbed off of the streets and thrown into detention centers whether they have committed a crime or not. Birthright citizenship, voting rights, trans rights, abortion rights, civil rights: all of these things are slowly being eroded by a party that claims to be the most patriotic. While the US has never truly lived up it its ideals in the first place, the best of us are at least trying to make them a reality. With all of this MAGA destruction to the country, we have to wonder: does MAGA hate America?
