During his show, Jimmy Kimmel highlighted absurd behaviors at the White House, particularly an expletive-laden shouting match between Elon Musk and treasury secretary Scott Bessent about IRS leadership. He humorously critiqued the characterization of Bessent as 'passionate' and recounted how the aural chaos from their argument disrupted a meeting with Italy's prime minister. Additionally, Kimmel spotlighted Pete Hegseth's controversial decision to involve his wife in sensitive meetings, drawing further scrutiny. The Pentagon refuted claims about her attending meetings where confidential discussions occurred, adding to the skepticism surrounding the administration's internal dynamics.
"For example, Axios reported that Elon Musk had an expletive-filled, chest-to-chest shouting match outside the Oval Office with treasury secretary Scott Bessent over who would run the IRS."
"Leavitt said: It's no secret President Trump has put together a team of people who are incredibly passionate about the issues impacting our country."
"Scott Bessent looks like Will Ferrell playing George Bush playing Janet Reno. The argument was allegedly so loud that it interrupted a meeting between Trump and the prime minister of Italy."
"The Pentagon denied the reports; according to Sean Parnell, the chief spokesperson for the Pentagon, Jennifer Hegseth never attended a meeting where sensitive information was discussed with her husband."
