Not surprisingly, it has been primarily Democratic Senators asking tough questions of Robert Kennedy Jr. during his confirmation hearings to become Secretary of Health and Human Services under Trump. What may be surprising, however, is how poorly this questioning is going for the Senators, including Senator Lujan of New Mexico, who apparently didn’t understand that the HHS director has no control over Medicaid spending levels, and Nevada’s Senator Cortez Musto, who was lectured by RFK about the epidemic of childhood illness in this country.

Jimmy breaks down some of the Dem Senators’ more glaring failures during the RFK Jr. confirmation hearing.

Plus additional segments on Liz Warren’s full-throated defense of the pharmaceutical industry in her attacks on Kennedy and a Bill Gates-backed petition full of phony names purported to belong to accredited physicians attacking the RFK nomination.

Even as Palestinians are beginning to return to their bombed-out homes in northern Gaza, President Donald Trump has said he wants to take those Palestinians out of Gaza and resettle them in Egypt and Jordan. Trump said he had made this request to Jordan's King Abdullah and planned to ask Egypt's president on Sunday, too.

Describing Gaza as a "demolition site", Trump said: "You're talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing". He added that the move "could be temporary" or "could be long-term". Both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority condemned the proposal. Jordan and Egypt have also rejected the idea.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Trump’s embrace of ethnic cleansing as the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Dr. Scott Gottlieb is a poster child for the revolving door between government and industry, having served as head of the FDA under Trump before taking a high-paying gig on the board of Pfizer. Asked recently during a segment on CNN whether the COVID vaccine might be responsible for the dramatic spike in cancers in the past few years, Gottlieb predictably hemmed and hawed and sought to deflect blame away from vaccines.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the rank corruption of the government-industry revolving door.

After a bishop at the National Cathedral prayer service for the inauguration on Tuesday implored Donald Trump to “have mercy upon” immigrants and LGBTQ+ people, many have spoken out about the remarks – including Trump himself.

In a lengthy social media post early on Wednesday, Trump called the Right Rev Mariann Edgar Budde a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” adding that “she brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way” and criticized her tone as “nasty”.

Later on in the statement, Trump described the service as “boring” and “uninspiring” and said that Budde and her church “owe the public an apology!”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Budde’s sermon will serve to bring the nation together or merely further divide us.

Plus segments on Elon Musk’s recent “awkward gesture,” Joe Biden welcoming the “next Hitler” to the White House and NYC Mayor Eric Adams telling Tucker Carlson he’s leaving the Democratic Party.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told The Hill on Monday that he intends to accept the pardon preemptively offered to him by President Biden.

Fauci said in an email that the White House approached him about the pardon about a month ago and that he did not ask for one.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Fauci’s myriad crimes and whether accepting the pardon necessitates Fauci’s acknowledgement of guilt for criminal behavior.

New users have piled in to Chinese social media app RedNote just days before a proposed U.S. ban on the popular social media app TikTok is scheduled to go into effect. The lesser-known RedNote is rushing to capitalize on the sudden influx while walking a delicate line of moderating English-language content.

Meanwhile, Americans flocking to RedNote are expressing shock at what they’re learning about Chinese culture and the surprisingly comfortable conditions the Chinese people live in.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to journalist Danny Haiphong about the propaganda most Americans are exposed to regarding China and how RedNote is unexpectedly helping tear down cross-cultural barriers.

Plus segments on journalists Max Blumenthal and Sam Husseini being forcibly removed from Antony Blinken’s last press briefing as Secretary of State as well as CNN’s shocking response to this assault on the free press.

A ceasefire agreement has been reached between the Israeli government and Hamas after untold devastation to Gaza and tens of thousands of deaths. While Palestinians across Gaza have been cheering the deal, Israelis poured into the streets to register their objection to any agreement, insisting that Netanyahu keep the genocidal assault going.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast, along with guest Jimmy Dore, discuss whether the Palestinians or Israelis are more brainwashed.

Plus segments on the political theater that passed for Pete Hegeth’s confirmation hearing and Governor Gavin Newsom’s weird shoulder shimmy while talking to reporters about the LA fires.

One area of contention within the MAGA movement is over the question of Israel. Many Trump supporters are adamantly anti-Israel and wish to sever the close ties between the US and the Jewish state. Within the Trump camp, however, there is near unanimity in offering unconditional support for Israel in its genocidal assault on Gaza and aspirations for expansion into what’s termed “Greater Israel.”

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast talk with Black Conservative Perspective host Greg Foreman about why MAGA will never do anything to change the Trump administration’s policy on Israel.

Plus segments on the LA fire chief’s foreknowledge of empty reservoirs and broken hydrants and the prison laborers being used as virtual slaves to fight the LA fires.
