Boy, thank God it's Friday. Thank goodness it's Friday, okay? I don't want to be, I don't know, what is it, blasphemous or whatever? What does God have to do with it? But everything, I think, actually. So thank goodness it's Friday. We were ready to come on a while ago. This is not an excuse. I'm telling you the truth, okay? So look, we have a lot. Let me tell you what we have planned for you, and I'll tell you what happened. So good morning, everybody. Welcome to the Don Lemon Show. It is Friday. Let us know where you're streaming from. It is a beautiful day in New York City. It's not so hot. It's gorgeous. Let me know if you got rain, if you have sun. Let us know. It's a summer day, okay? It's a summer day. And we have to talk about craziness.
I'm going to try to do it and not depress you so that you can go into your weekend with some hope, okay? And there is hope. Trust me, there is hope. Okay, so we have this very special episode. It is Hot Topics. This is true Hot Topics. We have updates on the Epstein files. Major developments in corporate media kowtowing to the Trump administration. The Macron's, the first family, so to speak, of France suing Candace Owens. She's playing a very dangerous game. She's a repugnant person. You know that. And we have Chuck E. Cheese getting arrested. Also, Donald Trump in bed with Satan, literally. Well, we'll explain. And then we have an update. Did you guys see that Florida traffic stop that went viral? The traffic stop heard around the world.
There's new information on that traffic stop. And we're going to be joined in a bit by an attorney who can talk to us about what is going on with Candace Owens and whether Candace Owens is going to have the day she deserves. OK, so but as we were getting ready to go on the air and I haven't even seen all of this, Donald Trump is now so much for not wanting people to discuss Jeffrey Epstein. Stop talking about it. I'm not concerned. That is the first thing he's talked about this morning as we were getting ready to go on the air. So first up, here's Donald Trump being asked. I believe this is the first one we're going to play. This is about the possible pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell, because, you know, Todd Blanche, who is the deputy attorney general to the United States, met with her yesterday, Ghislaine Maxwell, at a courthouse near the prison where she is being held.
And there's a second date today. So here is President Trump speaking about it.
Would you consider a pardon or a commutation for Ghislaine Maxwell? It's something I haven't thought about.
I'm allowed to do it, but it's something I have not thought about.
Why has the dollar
But the reporter said, I wouldn't rule it out. He did something and I haven't thought about it. And then he was, I think, asked again, I have not seen these. So I think the reporter said he didn't say that he would consider it. Right. He said he didn't say he would rule it out. I think the reporter said, but you wouldn't rule it out. Maybe he shook his head. OK, here's the president again.
Well, I don't want to talk about that.
What I do want to say is that Todd is a great attorney, but you ought to be speaking about Larry Summers. You ought to be speaking about some of his friends that are hedge fund guys. They're all over the place. You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times. I never went to the island.
Okay, now he wants to talk about Bill Clinton. Let me just explain something to Donald Trump. Bill Clinton is not the President of the United States anymore. And if Bill Clinton did something wrong, then Bill Clinton should suffer the consequences of it. It's just that simple, so you don't have to keep pointing to other people. We're not concerned about other people. We're concerned about you. You. You. You, what about you? You never went to the island, but what about the other things? So if you never went to the island and you have nothing to hide, then why aren't you releasing the files? No one gives a shit about Bill Clinton anymore. I'm just, I don't, no one cares.
