About this episode
According to online commentator Candace Owens, President Donald Trump personally called her to pressure her into stopping her coverage of allegations involving Brigitte Macron's gender. Trump was reportedly concerned that Owens' reporting could harm negotiations to end the Ukraine war, although Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger wonder how the first lady of France's penis or the lack thereof could affect delicate ceasefire negotiations. The call reportedly occurred amid growing controversy surrounding the allegations, highlighting Trump's willingness to use direct influence to control media messaging. Owens says she told the president that it's not her fault Macron married someone with a penis.
