Summary

Jordan Klepper rounds up the latest indiscretions from Trump's cabinet, including Pete Hegseth adding perfidy to his collection of alleged war crimes, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer bringing back the good old-fashioned political sex scandal, and RFK Jr. making America heart attack again with his upside-down food pyramid, which Troy Iwata breaks down for us. Charlamagne Tha God is celebrating MLK Day like it's his last, because with this president, it might be. Thanks to the Trump administration’s backsliding on the national holiday, MAGA's disparaging remarks against Dr. King, and Elon Musk’s call for white solidarity, Donald Trump’s birthday is in the running to replace MLK Day. Award-winning director and screenwriter Joachim Trier joins Jordan Klepper to discuss his latest critically-acclaimed film, "Sentimental Value." They talk about the influence of early skateboarding films on challenging actors to take risks, developing a cast built on trust with Stellan Skarsgård, Renate Reinsve, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas and Elle Fanning, using filmmaking as the setting to explore one family’s dynamics, and swapping antagonists for tender characters to bring understanding and hope into a complicated world.
