About this episode
Alleged anti-oligarchy crusader Bernie Sanders is now defending the medical establishment and Big Pharma — or at least that's what he chose to do during a recent Senate hearing on vaccines with RFK Jr. Jimmy describes Bernie as a "phony" tool of the Democratic Party, Big Pharma, and the corporate oligarchy—accusing him of flipping his own anti-corporate message to attack RFK. Jimmy goes through claims about COVID lies (origins, natural immunity, masks, lockdowns, vaccine transmission), pharma corruption of medical journals and associations, and overcounting of COVID deaths. Along with Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger, Jimmy's tone is scathing, mocking Bernie as a "garbage person" doing an "Emmy-worthy performance" under pressure, while contrasting him with dissenting doctors like Peter McCullough and Jay Bhattacharya. Plus segments on Mark Zuckerberg's "hot mic" moment at the recent White House gathering of top tech executives and Speaker Mike Johnson alleging that Donald Trump is really the hero in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from JD Vance and JB Pritzker!
