The Don Lemon Show · Lemon LIVE at 5 | Donald Trump's War In Iran: How Scared Should We Be?! · 3 Mar 2026 podcast

Let's go to war with Iran. matched

But they also cynically think this will be bad for Trump politically. matched

And just think of how disgusting that is. matched

Like you're playing with people's lives. matched

You're playing with chaos. matched

You're playing with death and destruction. matched

We have little girls who were murdered at school, but they made a cynical political calculation that made we just keep quiet. matched

He will go ahead and do this thing that we low key support and also think will benefit us politically. matched

Well, there's one more piece there that we haven't mentioned in terms of a motivation and it fits with his, you know, contempt for democracy and believe that he should frankly be a king, which is, you know, right after he announces this war, he also claimed that Iran had meddled in our elections, including in 2020. matched

We know that he is trying to spin up all sorts of justifications. matched

I mean, this is all happening out in the open. matched

I'm not telling you all anything you don't know, but all sorts of justifications matched

to nationalize the elections and to force states to send in their voter rolls so that they can take people off of the voter rolls who are legitimate voters. matched

You had the whole seizing of the ballot boxes in Fulton County. matched

You had Tulsi Gabbard going down to Puerto Rico. matched

There was reporting that they're thinking of offering Maduro some deal in exchange for him claiming, oh yeah, we did rig the elections in 2020, sorry. matched

And that giving them a pretext in order to mess with the elections. matched

Well, a war- matched

And especially if you can connect it to, oh, we're claiming that Iran messed with the 2020 elections, a war would be yet another pretext. matched

So I think it's another way that he's trying to avoid having any sort of say from the American people in the midterm elections or moving forward. matched
