The Lion Week in Review
Trump’s EPIC Speech, Democrat MELTDOWN, And Jake Tapper’s SHOCKING Confession
This week on The Lion Week In Review, we’re diving headfirst into the wildest moments in politics and culture — and trust us, you’re gonna want to see this.
👉 Trump’s first big address to Congress wasn’t just long — it was LEGENDARY. Viral moments, emotional surprises, and a total Democrat meltdown on live TV.
👉 Jake Tapper just admitted what we all knew about Biden — but now he’s cashing in with a new book. Are we supposed to forget his years of gaslighting?
👉 Plus, Stephen A. Smith absolutely wrecks The View with a reality check they didn’t see coming.
Our panel — Chris Stigall, Josh Mann, Michael Ryan, and Adam Wittenberg — pulls zero punches as they unpack the biggest stories the corporate media won’t touch.
