Don Lemon 0:15
Hello, everyone. Welcome to Lemon Live at Five. So glad that you could be here. What a show we have for you. And look, how else do I say this? The shit done hit the fan. I mean, it really has. And they have, they're in the wagons and they're circling and they're trying to help each other out. And it is a real shit show. So welcome to the program. We have a lot to discuss. Can you believe we're right on time? I know you guys are shocked by that, but we are right on time. And so, again, we're glad you're here. So make sure you hit the like. Make sure you hit the thumbs up. It affects the algorithm. More people become aware of our channel, our conversation. And they'll get to hear from me, you, and my guest, who's going to be on in two seconds, who you're going to love.
Don Lemon 0:57
Okay? So let's talk about this first. We come on the air tonight. We've got breaking news. The first member of the Trump administration has knifed Waltz. Oh, yeah. His knife waltz. They're turning on each other, folks. And you know, because they're drowning in this mess. And now the sharks are circling. They're looking for blood. And it seems Marco Rubio just provided it to them. He's the first man to throw someone under the bus. Actually, I believe it was Donald Trump last night in that interview saying, I know nothing about it. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. But he didn't, you know, at least blame Walt. Anthony Scaramucci is here. He's a former White House communications director, the founder of Skybridge Capital and the host of the Rest is Politics podcast.
Don Lemon 1:38
Mooch, how you doing, brother?
Anthony Scaramucci 1:40
I'm great. I'm not as great as you, but I'm great. You know, you know what? I'm out of Trump world. How about that? Can you imagine? Could you imagine the stress going on in there right now? They're all sitting there trying to jockey for Trump's love. Of course, he has no love for any of them. He only has love for himself. And they're making one mistake after the next. Now they got to shoot one of one of the people in the room. And I think you're right. I think it's going to be Walsh. It won't be Hegseth because Hegseth is bent over backwards with the loyalty test. But I think you can find a willing GOP-er to replace Walsh. And by the way, as Trump would say to you if he was on your show, I'd love to get Trump back on your show, by the way.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:21
Remember when he used to be on your show back in the day?

Who was added to the NSC Signal group chat and why does it matter?

Don Lemon 2:24
But he used to throw people on the bus under that show. I mean, he threw Megyn Kelly under the bus.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:29
We're bleeding out of the wherever. We're bleeding out of the wherever.

How did Senator Marco Rubio and Donald Trump respond to the Signalgate leak?

Anthony Scaramucci 2:32
But But if you got Trump on the show, he would say to you, I'm my own national security advisor, like he said after Bolton left. So Walsh is expendable. By the way, I figured out how Goldberg got on the text message. You want to hear my theory? You figured it out. You want to hear my theory?
Marco Rubio 2:51
Yeah.
Anthony Scaramucci 2:51
It's my theory. What happened, Superman? I think he was pushing J.D., to get him in the group chat and he accidentally pressed JG and there it is. You see what I mean? And then he realized that for some reason, Vance wasn't on it. So he pressed JD again and he got Vance included, but he left JG on it. You see what I mean? But here's the big, big lie, which is reprehensible for Walsh, and it's going to stain him for a long time. I don't know who Jeff Goldberg is. I don't know him.
Don Lemon 3:25
You don't?
Anthony Scaramucci 3:26
No, he's saying that.
Don Lemon 3:28
Oh, he's saying that.
Anthony Scaramucci 3:28
Okay, I get you. He said the Lorraine. But he's been at events. He's been at conferences with him. Jeff has been one of the go-to journalists in national security for 15 years. So how could Walsh say that with a straight face? It's like I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar in kindergarten, and I tried to tell the teacher when I had chocolate on my face, I didn't eat the cookie.
Don Lemon 3:54
In this case, he got caught with his hand in the Cheetos, and he's got orange all over his face. He does.
Anthony Scaramucci 3:58
He's got orange. But by the way, that orange doesn't come out. It's not Cheetos. You can't wash the orange out. The good news for me is I was only dipped in the Cheetos for 11 days.
