DeepSummary
The episode begins with a discussion about a rally held by Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Jamaal Bowman, where despite their star power, the turnout was embarrassingly low. This is contrasted with the massive crowds that Sanders used to draw during his 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns. Jimmy Dore and Kurt Metzger argue that this low turnout is a result of Sanders and AOC selling out and failing to follow through on their promises of revolution and change.
Another segment discusses the state of Massachusetts housing migrants in various hotels and motels across the state, with taxpayers footing the bill of millions of dollars for accommodation, food, and other services. The high costs and lack of oversight in these contracts are criticized, with Dore suggesting that someone connected to the Democratic Party is profiting from the situation.
The episode also features a hilarious segment where Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade, who had an affair with the district attorney prosecuting Trump, is roasted in an interview on Comedy Central. Despite his disastrous previous interviews where he lied about the affair, Wade agreed to appear on the show, only to be mocked mercilessly by the host.

In a last-ditch effort to get out the vote for incumbent U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and avoid an upset in the hotly contested Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District on Tuesday, June 25, leftist political heavyweights U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) came out in support of Bowman at a rally in New York on Saturday. Unfortunately for them, their “star power” has waned to the point where turnout was embarrassingly low.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how the rally turnout would have been even worse if not for the pro-Palestinian protesters who came to express their displeasure with Bernie, Bowman and AOC over Biden’s Israel support.
Plus segments on Massachusetts distributing migrant arrivals around the state to various motels in small towns and Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade’s DISASTROUS interview on Comedy Central.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from “Hillary Supporter!”
