Trump To Zelensky: “You’re A Dictator!” w/ Col. Douglas Macgregor
The Biden administration treated Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky as a near deity, a heroic figure inspiring his underdog nation to repel the invading Russian hordes. Now that Trump has assumed power, the dynamic has changed and Zelensky is being described by the U.S. President in very different terms — as a “loser” and a dictator who refuses to hold elections that might challenge his position. Jimmy and Col. Macgregor discuss the reality of Zelensky that Americans have been denied by the mainstream, corporate hagiographic news media seeking to prop up Ukraine in the fight against Russia. Plus segments on Zelensky and Ukraine being snubbed by the U.S. over peace negotiations, Zelensky’s pledge to ignore any diplomatic arrangement that doesn’t include Ukrainian input and health officials Deborah Birx and Paul Offit admitting that COVID policy wasn’t based on science. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

Germany Going NUTS Policing “Hate Speech!"
Among all the crazed crackdowns on speech in Europe, the Germans may be taking matters to the most insane levels. German authorities today brag about breaking into people’s homes and laugh about seizing their personal devices like laptops and phones — all for the “offense” of insulting someone, sometimes a politician. Imagine not being allowed to insult a politician? Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the transformation in Germany from liberal democracy to authoritarianism over just these issues. Plus segments on CBS reporter Margaret Brennan losing her mind by blaming the Holocaust on an excess of free speech and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dropping truth bombs about Ukraine on European diplomats. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Jeff Bridges!

Steve Bannon Claims “Huge Victory” After Pleading Guilty In Border Wall Case
Steve Bannon pleaded guilty on Tuesday to defrauding donors to a private effort to build a wall on the U.S. southern border, ending a case the conservative strategist decried as a "political persecution." Bannon, a longtime ally of President Donald Trump, pleaded guilty in state court in Manhattan to one count of scheme to defraud, a low-level felony. Spared from jail as part of a plea deal, he left court saying he "felt like a million bucks." In this conversation with Jimmy, Bannon insists the prosecution was politically motivated and his relatively light sentence proves how weak the case against him was. Plus segments on Donald Trump initiating negotiations to end the Ukraine War and an interview with former Seattle City Council member and Workers Strike Back founder Kshama Sawant.

Jon Stewart DEFENDS Trump From Hysterical Democratic Critics!
On a recent episode of The Daily Show, Jon Stewart advised Democrats that if they want to regain office, they need to chill a little on the fascist talk and actually offer an alternative. The late-night host showed clips of news anchors and Democratic voices talking about the “late Friday night purge,” where President Donald Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. Reacting to the news, Stewart pulled out a prop axe and screamed, “Trump has ushered in the purge!” “I, for one, will take full advantage by doing some unpermitted lawn work,” he joked. “Although, just in case I’m misinterpreting, what is this purge about, exactly?” When realizing what Trump’s “purge” was really about, Stewart reacted in mock horror, yelling, “No! He got rid of 17 inspectors general? That only leaves—no one knows how many left. I have no idea.” Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how even liberal icon Jon Stewart sees the level of Trump Derangement Syndrome flowing through the Democratic Party. Plus segments on a recent NY Times hit piece against Elon Musk and DOGE, the Super Bowl halftime show performer who revealed and paraded around with a Palestinian flag and the millions of dollars in questionable spending being uncovered by Musk and his DOGE acolytes. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo!
