The Jeffrey Epstein crimes are no laughing matter, but the idea promoted by the top two officials at the FBI, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, that Epstein killed himself in a prison cell, certainly is. In fact, that’s precisely how commentator Tucker Carlson reacted when he and a guest discussed the purported coverup of Epstein’s murder that appeares to be continuing apace under the new FBI leadership

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why Tucker’s guffaws are the only logical response to what Patel and Bongino are slinging.

Little progress is being made in negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program, and that may be by design. The U.S. is demanding a complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear enrichment program, which is a non-starter for the Iranians.

Meanwhile, the U.S. appears to have reneged on a promise to get a ceasefire and humanitarian aid into Gaza in exchange for the release of the last American hostage, so Hamas — and by extension Iran — feel the U.S. cannot be trusted in negotiations.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Israel appears to be orchestrating a U.S. attack on Iran that few Americans have any interest in.

Plus segments on why Joe Biden’s cancer reveal is a huge scandal and Bruce Springsteen’s epic hypocrisy in attacking Donald Trump.

Republican divisions over changes to Medicaid — the federal health care program for poor, elderly and disabled Americans — are becoming the chief hurdle to getting President Trump's major tax, immigration and energy agenda through Congress.

GOP lawmakers who represent swing districts insist they will not vote for any proposal that strips benefits. But conservatives are demanding deep cuts in spending and say restructuring Medicaid is one of the clearest ways to achieve that goal.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Republicans will be able to pass the bill despite the hits MAGA supporters on Medicait will take as a result.

When President Trump declared from the stage of an opulent ballroom in Saudi Arabia that the United States was done nation-building and intervening, that the world’s superpower would no longer be “giving you lectures on how to live,” his audience erupted in applause.

Supporters at home also applauded as Trump effectively denounced decades of neoconservative American policy in the Middle East.

“In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built,” Mr. Trump said on Tuesday, during a sweeping address at an investment conference in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. “And the interventionalists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even frequent Trump critic Arnaud Bertrand applauded Trump’s turn away from imperialist interventionism.

Plus segments on the shocking revelations coming out of the Diddy trial, Trump lavishing praise on the ex-Jihadi now leading Syria, and Trump’s peace efforts regarding Iran as well as the India-Pakistan conflict.

President Donald Trump on Monday signed a sweeping executive order setting a 30-day deadline for drugmakers to electively lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. or face new limits down the road over what the government will pay.

The order calls on the health department, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to broker new price tags for drugs over the next month. If deals are not reached, Kennedy will be tasked with developing a new rule that ties the price the U.S. pays for medications to lower prices paid by other countries.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the high prices of pharmaceuticals in the United States and whether Trump’s executive order will have the intended effect.

Plus segments on Trump bypassing Netanyahu to negotiate the release of the last U.S. hostage in Gaza and reports in the Jerusalem Post suggesting that Trump is planning to declare U.S. recognition of an independent Palestinian state.

Reports are emerging that President Donald Trump has cut off communication with Benjamin Netanyahu over concerns that the Israeli Prime Minister is seeking to manipulate Trump into pursuing policies beneficial to Israel but not the United States. Trump has recently been accused even by allies of abandoning his “America First” stance in favor of a more “Israel First” approach.

Jimmy and former HUD Assistant Director Catherine Austin Fitts discuss what will need to happen to demonstrate whether this break with Israel is real or just so much talk.

The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has historically lost mass, significantly contributing to sea-level rise, with intensified losses in West Antarctica and parts of East Antarctica, particularly from 2011–2020.

However, between 2021 and 2023, driven by anomalous precipitation, the AIS experienced a record-breaking mass gain, even reversing trends in critical glacier basins like Totten, Moscow, Denman, and Vincennes Bay.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether all this hullaballoo about climate change and melting ice caps may be so much hot air.

Plus segments on Israeli police beating up Hasidic Jews in Jerusalem for protesting the Gaza genocide, Donald Trump signing a ban on gain of function research and former congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich discussing the condescendingly warmongering ways of Arkansas senator Tom Cotton.

Columbia economics professor Jeffrey Sachs is now saying he is “99% sure” that the University of North Carolina (UNC) conducted extensive gain of function research beginning in 2015 and that this research led to the development of COVID-19.

Sachs says he is concerned about unregulated research and the lack of global governance for handling dangerous pathogens. This systemic issue underscores the plausibility of an accidental release from a U.S. lab like UNC.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the compelling evidence supporting the conclusion that COVID came from Ralph Baric’s research at UNC.

Plus segments on Trump wiping out any DOGE savings with increased military spending and how U.S. tariffs are driving African countries to pursue closer ties with China and India.
