Lemon LIVE at 5 | Ice Agent Arrested! - October 17th, 2025

Every day under this administration feels like a fresh plunge into authoritarianism. Trump’s MAGA enforcers, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Stephen Miller, and the rest of the goon squad, are working overtime to make sure his will is carried out, even if it steamrolls the Constitution and our personal freedoms. Tonight, we’re breaking down the latest example: Washington, D.C., where the streets now feel less like the nation’s capital and more like a full-on police state. Is this really “law and order” or just the dress rehearsal for fascism? This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein. Switch to BRICKHOUSE WHEY for guaranteed results or your money back.

MAGA is in full meltdown mode. Lara Loomer and Marjorie Taylor Greene are clawing at each other again, Elise Stefanik just got booed off stage by her own constituents, and Trump...well, Trump is basically a walking tantrum at this point. First he deployed the National Guard in D.C., and now he’s throwing a fit because someone reminded him that crime there is actually at a 30-year low. His solution? Claim the stats are fake. It’s less a political movement and more a daycare with no supervision. This morning we’re breaking down the chaos, the catfights, and the constant stream of MAGA meltdowns.

This morning, we’re heading to Texas, where the GOP’s gerrymandering circus is back in full swing. After a two-week standoff, Democrats who fled the state to block the vote are finally returning. So… what now? Does this mean the GOP gets their rigged maps, or is there still a fight to be had? And more importantly, what does this mean for the future of elections in Texas, and how will other states respond? Because if Texas pulls it off, you can bet MAGA lawmakers elsewhere will be taking notes. This episode is brought to you by Brickhouse Whey Protein.
