L.A.’s top homeless services official Va Lecia Adams Kellum engaged in major misconduct, including hiring unqualified friends into powerful positions, trying to destroy public records and behaving inappropriately at a conference, according to two whistleblower claim letters.
The letters were written by an attorney on behalf of two former L.A. Homeless Services Authority employees who alleged they were wrongfully fired for speaking up against wrongdoing by Adams Kellum.
Jimmy speaks with Food Not Bombs founder Keith McHenry about the persistent problem of homelessness in American cities and how institutionalized graft and self-dealing ensure that no solution will make a dent in the ongoing crisis.

Two Israeli Embassy employees were shot and killed Wednesday night as they left the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. The suspect in the killing, identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez of Chicago, was initially "observed pacing back and forth outside of the museum" before he approached a group of four people, "produced a handgun," and shot the two victims.
As he was handcuffed, Rodriguez repeatedly shouted "Free Palestine.” The shooting was being investigated as a hate crime, a law enforcement source said.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens has publicly criticized Donald Trump for abandoning his “American first” pledge in favor of Israel and against free speech. In a recent episode of her podcast, “Candace,” she voiced concerns over the administration’s actions against universities, particularly regarding free speech issues.
Owens stated, “I never thought that I would see a day where I would be rooting for a university above Donald J. Trump and his administration. But I don’t recognize this administration right now.” She highlighted the administration’s actions against Harvard University, which is facing threats of federal funding cuts for not complying with certain demands.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Trump has betrayed virtually every fundamental pledge he made to his MAGA base.

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, has died by suicide, her family said Friday.
Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living for several years. Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Giuffre likely actually committed suicide or if other forces were at play in leading to her death.

President Donald Trump is standing by his embattled Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, and brushing off concerns even as new details are emerging about the military information Hegseth shared in a second group chat on Signal that included his family and friends. Hegseth is also dealing with the fallout from a leadership purge at the top of the Pentagon as he cashiered three top advisers who have lengthy histories with the Defense Secretary.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the knives have come out for Hegseth, demanding his resignation, and why powerful interests at the Pentagon may be eager to see him go — and it has nothing to do with the so-called “Signal” controversies.

After being embarrassed over his lack of an argument and insistence on semantic minutiae during his appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, British political commentator Douglas Murray raced to the New York Post to pen an opinion piece demanding better “standards” for podcasters like Rogan. Except while decrying the lack of “truth” and “honesty” of Rogan and others, Murray lets loose with a torrent of his own dishonesty and half-truths.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how laughable it is to suggest a code of standards for podcasters — meaning fealty to the Zionist party line — when such standards are noticeably absent in mainstream journalism.

On a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan and his guest Tim Dillon mocked The Spectator’s associate editor Douglas Murray for promoting “war tourism” and the notion that people should be barred from commenting on political issues in countries they’ve never visited
Rogan specifically imitated Murray’s British accent to say, “You’ve never beeeeen?” and insist that traveling to a war zone before criticizing anyone involved in the war is basic “courtesy.”
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss whether Joe was mimicking Jimmy’s previous mockery of Murray from his appearance on Rogan’s podcast.
Plus segments on Marco Rubio’s announcement that the Trump administration is ready to wash its hands of the Ukraine War, the White House antisemitism task force furiously backpedaling over the demand letter “mistakenly” sent to Harvard and the Trump administration announcing it will soon begin importing cheaper pharmaceuticals from Canada.

The Trump White House re-launched the govenrment’s official COVID-19 website on Friday. The revamped site blames the origins of the coronavirus on a lab leak in China while criticizing former President Joe Biden, former top U.S. health official Anthony Fauci and the World Health Organization.
The website is also critical of steps like social distancing, mask mandates and lockdowns.Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how not even this level of government sanctioned critique of the nation’s COVID policy will be sufficient to shake some hopeless deadenders in the media and comedy community who refuse to engage in even the most cursory reexamination of their mistaken views over the pandemic.

The Trump administration’s aggressive deportation practices, whether sending alleged gang members to a notorious El Salvadoran prison or rounding up foreign students for opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, have led many pundits and others to raise the alarm about a Constitutional crisis and the evisceration of due process.
But as Jimmy points out, this crisis has been decades in the making, and dates back to when Nobel Peace Prize-winner Barack Obama maintained a “kill list” and signed into law the virtual elimination of Habeas Corpus.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why now all the President has to do is cry “terrorism” and Constitutional protections fly right out the Oval Office window.

On Friday’s episode of Real Time, host Bill Maher opened up about a surprising meeting he had last week with former President Donald Trump at the White House. Maher said the encounter was far more cordial and humorous than he ever anticipated.
“You can hate me for it, but I’m not a liar. Trump was gracious and measured,” Maher said. “And why isn’t that in other settings—I don’t know, and I can’t answer, and it’s not my place to answer. I’m just telling you what I saw, and I wasn’t high.”
During the meeting, Maher brought along a printout of Trump’s past insults directed at him. Surprisingly, Trump took it in stride and even signed it with what Maher described as “good humor.”
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the hype surrounding Maher’s visit to the White House and whether the Real Time host was merely charmed by Trump the consummate politician.
Plus segments on actor Michael Rapaport whining that his pro-Zionist activism has cost him work in Hollywood, Glenn Greenwald schooling Megyn Kelly on the first amendment and Bernie Sanders mysteriously dropping his talk of the threat of oligarchy during the Biden presidency.

American comedian Dave Smith and British cultural critic Douglas Murray recently joined Joe Rogan for a much-discussed episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
Murray confronted Rogan and criticised him to his face for platforming non-experts to discuss historical and political subject matter. Murray also claimed criticizing such figures was like “punching jelly” because they would fall back on an “I’m no expert” or “I’m just a comedian” defense.
Yet when questioned about just who should be allowed to speak on which topics, Murray (who, by the way, has very limited credentials of "expertise") himself turned to jelly, arguing that he hadn’t said that only experts should be “platformed,” at which point he pivoted to arguing with Smith for referring to the United States as “we” when discussing the myriad wars the US has fought around the globe.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the series of semantic arguments Murray brought up throughout the show rather than debate the substance of even the subjects he brought up.
Plus segments on the recent SCOTUS ruling that the Trump administration must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongfully deported to an El Salvador prison and RFK Jr.’s prediction that we will know the real cause of the autism epidemic by September.
