How do Don Lemon and Jolly Good Ginger introduce the live show and breaking news?
Jolly Good Ginger is here with me, the lemon, the lemon head, the lemon nation. Hey, how you doing, brother?
Good, Don. Glad to be back. Man, the news is wild right now.
I have some breaking news. You guys, should we tell the folks with the breaking news? As Jolly Good Ginger and I are speaking right now, it just happened moments ago. Now, I'm just going to read the quote. Now, this person says, I don't know if we will have a great relationship with Elon Musk. Now, if I asked you that, I gave it away, but would you know who I was talking about if I said that to you?
No, and not only that, but I want you to think when you hear, I don't know if we're going to have a good relationship with Elon Musk. Think about the people who might say that. Just think.
Who might say that? Well, let me go on. Let me go on, okay? All right. I am very disappointed. Because Elon knew the inner workings of this bill better than almost anybody sitting here. Better than you people. I guess he's talking to the press. All of a sudden, he had a problem. And he only developed the problem when he found out that we're going to have to, what is he saying? That we're going to have to cut the EV mandate. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh, right. The EV mandate. And he goes, people leave my administration and they love us. And then at some point they miss it so badly and some of them embrace it and some of them actually become hostile. I don't know what it is. It's sort of Trump derangement syndrome, I guess they call it.
Have you ever seen Have you ever seen the lady who, I know you've seen her. Her name's Francesca. She plays the ukulele and she sings the song, I Never Saw.
I never thought the leopard would eat my face. I never thought the leopard would eat my face. Yes. I never thought it would come back on me. Yes. I never thought the leopard would eat my face. Hey, Don got some pipes on him. No.
I mean, it is just too delicious, though, isn't it?
It is sweet. Sweet, savory. It's everything. This is exactly what happens to anybody who gets close to Donald Trump. He eats them and spits them out.
What did Trump say about Elon Musk and the EV mandate that sparked the feud?
There's nobody left. Ask Michael Cohen who went to prison for him. Ask Lev Parnas who went to prison for him. Ask everybody who's ever been in this circle who ever got indicted or went to prison for him. And if the American people think that us being close to Donald Trump is somehow going to end better for us than it did any of his fucking confidants, you're delusional. You're delusional.
Have you been... Wait a minute. Have you been listening to me? I've been saying the same thing since yesterday. I said... It never pays. I've been saying it forever, but yesterday I went on a whole rant where I said it never pays to bend the knee to Donald Trump or to, because as my friend over at the Lincoln Project, Rick Wilson says, everything Trump touches dies, right? And so what happens, it's like flying too close to the sun. You're going to burn out. Or it's like the Wicked Witch of the West. You're going to end up melting under a pile of, under a house. right? The White House is going to fall down on top of you. And so is this a leopard eating your face? By the way, smash the hearts, please. So more people and subscribe to Jolly Good Ginger and to myself.
Go on, please. No, this is 100 percent the leopards eating your face.
I mean, listen, if Elon Musk didn't know what he was getting into, then Elon Musk is not the genius that everybody sold him as. And we know he's not. But he knew what he was getting into. And then he knew what happened behind closed doors. And he 100 percent bought the presidency for Donald Trump. He did a bunch of illegal shit. I don't care if he hasn't been prosecuted for it. You can't pay people to go vote. You can't give away a million dollars at a voting lottery. This is 100% a hijacking of a democracy. But he did illegal shit to make sure Donald Trump got in there because he did it for personal gain and personal gain only. And even though he spent $250 million on the campaign, even though he stood in the White House or the Oval Office with Donald Trump and gave these briefings and praised his name, even though Donald Trump did a Tesla commercial for him in front of the White House, all of that, now immediately on the turn of a dime, he's got Trump derangement syndrome now because he doesn't like his big, ugly bill.
