Summary

There’s little question anymore that political elites—Democrats and Republicans alike—are part of a so-called "Uniparty" controlled by billionaire interests, and both parties cater to the same oligarchs rather than the public. 

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss former Clinton era labor secretary Robert Reich’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where the two agree that it’s necessary to get big money out of politics, but they expose their own hypocrisy given that Democratic campaigns often outpace Republicans in billionaire backing. 

Jimmy points out that economic inequality has worsened instead of improving under both Democrats and Republicans, in particular citing the 2008 bank bailout without reforms, while he also notes that Democrats talk a big game about promoting democracy but rig their own primaries across election cycles. 

Plus segments on a Nebraska town hall audience jeering at GOP Rep Mike Flood after he gaslit them about universal healthcare and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro responding to the FBI’s $50 million bounty on him by offering his own $50 million reward for anyone sharing the full, unedited Epstein client list.

Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Liam Neeson!
