OOPS! "Erika MURDERED Charlie" Says Blake Neff!
ListenedJimmy and his live show panelists Stef Zamorano, Elaine Culotti, Tim Hockenberry and Jay Johnston mock several verbal slips by Turning Point USA figures discussing Charlie Kirk's death, his widow Erika Kirk, and commentator Candace Owens. The panel highlight comments that appear to accuse Erika of murdering Charlie and suggest Candace would hate Erika for "murdering" rather than marrying him, while criticizing TPUSA figures for refusing to cooperate with an independent investigation at Utah Valley University. They also ridicule attempts to explain away the remarks, accusing the speakers of gaslighting viewers after the comments are replayed, and share an AI-generated parody that exaggerates the suspicions and awkward phrasing for comedic effect. The segment ends with broader allegations from the hosts about infighting and possible financial misconduct among people surrounding Charlie Kirk, alongside speculation about his views on Israel. Plus segments on Sean Hannity claiming he was pressured to push the…
Dropping Body Temp Is Destroying Immune Systems!
ListenedFor this episode Jimmy interviews independent medical researcher Matthew Cormier about recent research suggesting that average human body temperature has declined from the historically cited 98.6°F to roughly 97.7–97.9°F, which Cormier argues may indicate broader problems involving immune function and metabolism. He links lower body temperature to immunosuppression, chronic infections, metabolic disorders, and exposure to environmental toxins, while also discussing possible roles for antibiotics, heavy metals, wireless radiation, and other factors. The conversation also covers fasting, autophagy, the microbiome, thermoregulation, and the hypothalamus, with Cormier emphasizing that attempts to improve immune and metabolic function can have different effects depending on an individual's underlying health conditions. The interview concludes with Cormier calling the decline in body temperature a major health warning that deserves more research and public attention. Plus segments on actor Mark Ruffalo calling…
Trump Sends THOUSANDS MORE Troops To Iran! w/ Larry Johnson
ListenedJimmy is joined by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to discuss the possibility of a U.S. amphibious operation or ground invasion of Iran, focusing on the deployment of additional American troops, aircraft carriers, Marines, and other military assets to the Middle East. Johnson argues that reports of a potential landing at Iran's Chabahar port would expose U.S. forces to Iranian anti-ship missiles and difficult resupply conditions, comparing such an operation to Churchill's disastrous Gallipoli campaign of World War I. The conversation then turns to the global diesel shortage, declining fuel supplies, fertilizer production, rising food and restaurant prices, and the economic effects of Russia and China restricting diesel exports, with Johnson describing how higher energy costs are affecting American businesses and workers. The segment concludes with criticism of both Republican and Democratic leadership over Iran policy and economic conditions, including discussion of a Florida mining worker and neighbor of…
Country Star Zach Bryan Wore "Free Palestine" at Robert Kraft's Stadium.
ListenedThis episode focuses on country star Zach Bryan wearing a "Free Palestine" shirt while performing at Gillette Stadium, in what was clearly a public challenge to stadium owner Robert Kraft and his previous ban involving pro-Palestinian performer Macklemore. Bryan's bandmates also displayed Palestinian symbols, including a jersey honoring five-year-old victim Hind Rajab, while Bryan is described as taking political positions that are not typical of mainstream country musicians. Jimmy contrasts Bryan's actions with Ed Sheeran's cowardly response to the controversy, arguing that attempts to suppress pro-Palestinian expression can generate more attention through the "Streisand effect," while he mocks critics who predicted Bryan would alienate his audience after he continued wearing the shirt. The segment concludes by emphasizing Bryan's reported attendance record at Gillette Stadium and presenting his actions as an example of artists resisting pressure to conform. Plus segments on the whistleblower who exposed…
