Lemon LIVE at 5 | Shutdown Showdown! Anthony "Mooch" Scaramucci UNFILTERED! - October 1st, 2025
The government is officially shut down, and MAGA is already working overtime to spin it as the Democrats’ fault. Never mind the fact that Republicans control both the House and the Senate. The finger-pointing, the gaslighting, the lies…it’s all peak Trump-era politics.
Tonight, Don Lemon is joined by Anthony “The Mooch” Scaramucci, who’s never been afraid to call BS when he sees it. Together, they’ll break down how we got here, what it means for Americans, and why the GOP is once again trying to pass the blame for a disaster of their own making.

LEMON DROP | DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene Says the GOP is "Hurting The American People"
Don Lemon sits down with DCCC Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene in the middle of a government shutdown to cut through the noise and set the record straight. Republicans control all branches of government, yet they’re pointing fingers at Democrats and spreading lies (like the absurd claim that Dems want to give “free healthcare to all illegal immigrants.” Not true.) What’s really happening? The GOP is holding the country hostage while trying to strip millions of Americans of their healthcare. Don and Rep. DelBene break down the shutdown, the disinformation campaign, and what’s truly at stake for everyday Americans.

HOT TOPICS | Government SHUTDOWN! - October 1st, 2025
The government has officially shut down, closed for business, thanks to MAGA’s circus of incompetence. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are now facing lost paychecks, stalled services, and mounting uncertainty while Trump and his allies pretend this is somehow the Democrats’ fault. It’s not.
Meanwhile, ICE is ramping up horrific arrests, and with Trump edging closer to full-on authoritarianism - deploying troops, silencing dissent, and pushing us toward a police state - the question isn’t just when will this end? It’s how much more can this country take?

Lemon LIVE at 5 | Government Shutdown & Trump's "War From Within" - September 30th, 2025
We are just hours away from a government shutdown, and let’s be real, things are looking grim. Will Democrats hold the line or cave under pressure? Meanwhile, at today’s event in Quantico, Trump decided to stoke even more division by warning about a so-called “war from within.” What exactly does that mean? And why does MAGA seem so eager to pick fights with their own neighbors?
Don is live to break it all down: the looming shutdown, Trump’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric, and what it all means for the future of this country. Buckle up...this sh*t is scary.
