How did Don Lemon introduce the Elon Musk–Donald Trump feud and who joins the panel?
Where do we start? I said I wasn't going to start the show laughing, but where on earth do we start? I have a very good idea of where we should start. Okay. But first, let me just bring in the folks. I need a group of people, a host of people, just to give me some support during this so that I don't lose it. Let's bring in Reese Colbert, the host of the Reese Colbert Show. Reese Colbert. And George Hahn, the host of the George Hahn Everything. George, long time no see.
Yeah, it's been a minute. It's been literally a minute.
Let me tell you where I think we should start. And you know where it is.
I already know.
Roll the Azalea Banks. Roll it.
Wait. What is the tea? The girls are fighting. No. The girls are fighting. Why? Why? Why are the girls fighting?
Why are the girls fighting?
So delicious.
I mean, you could not. If someone had written this, I'd be like, that is never going to play. That's not going to break up this way. Don't be so dramatic.
Recy, what on earth is going on? Listen, I know it's Pride Month, but we have the two biggest stunt queens going at it. Donald Trump and Elon Musk at war. Woo! If this ain't Sun Queen behavior, I do not know. The girls are definitely fighting, and I'm here for it. I thought it was a little fake beef, a little like, okay, Elon trying to rehabilitate his image, but now that Donald is waiting, oh, it's all out mayhem, okay?
No. When I knew when he said, you wouldn't have won without me. But then when he dropped the Epstein bomb, George Hahn, that's when George Hahn texted me saying, what on earth is happening?
Yeah, that and also, you know, the popcorn and the Diet Coke soda emoji. Like, there's not enough. I might already be out of popcorn. This is so much fun.
Yeah.
The mudslinging is glorious, you know?
Look at what Celebrity Tarot Reading says.
I almost broke a foot, right?
Coming over here. I mean, thank you, right? To get in the folks in the chat. Oh my gosh, guys, I have so much to get to. A little bit later on, by the way, as well, we're going to have Joy Reid is going to join us a little bit because Joy, this is too delicious for Joy not to hear from Joy Reid, where we would be hearing her up on that anchor desk. We're going to hear her up in her perch, wherever she is right now, just a little bit later on. Shall we get to it though? So the girls are fighting. So Trump on Friday, Now, this was just, remember when I said to you guys yesterday, or maybe it was the day before, I said, Musk couldn't wait to leave the White House before he started talking shit about the folks in the White House, the big beautiful bill and what was happening and stuff in the White House.
And I said, and the Lemonheads know, I said, this is going to get worse. This isn't over. It's going to get worse. And this was just six days ago. Watch.
A special something we have here. Thank you. A very special that I give to very special people. I have given it to some, but it goes to very special people. And I thought I'd give it to Elon as a presentation from our country. Thank you. Thank you, Elon. Thank you. Take care.
Thank you.
The luck of this is amazing.
Trump, first of all, he's got a three-word vocabulary. He's reaching for a word he thinks he might have. in his arsenal of words, and he just can't find it. He knows like three words, number one. Number two, I am still stuck on the black eye that was allegedly, hold on, from Scott Besant, allegedly.
Well, the girls are really fighting. Oh, my gosh. Look, okay, so that was what? What was that on Friday? Yeah, that was Friday. That was six days ago. And then this is, so that was Donald Trump six days ago. This is Donald Trump today.
Roll it. I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot.
I just want to clarify. Did he raise any of these concerns with you privately before he raised them publicly? And this is the guy you put in charge of cutting spending. Should people not take him seriously about spending now? Are you saying this is all sour grapes?
No, he worked hard and he did a good job.
What?
and i'll be honest i think he misses the place i think he got out there and all of a sudden he wasn't in this beautiful oval office and he went he's got nice offices too but there's something about this when i was telling the chancellor this is where it is people come in here even from germany they come in and they walk into the oval office and it's just a special place it's you know world war one it started and it ended here and world war ii and what is he talking about other things big comes right from this
