Johnny Mac delivers a politically focused comedy news briefing, highlighting clips of Dave Chappelle criticizing the president as divisive and petty, Theo Von questioning what U.S. actions help ordinary Americans, and George Lopez discussing cognitive decline and leadership. Greg Gutfeld responds to Jimmy Kimmel’s comments on Michelle Obama’s podcast by saying Kimmel should accept criticism and has lost self-deprecation. The episode covers backlash to Ramy Youssef saying “salam alaikum” with Elmo and Youssef’s response on The View, plus John Oliver’s harsh comments about Prince Andrew and indifference to Sarah Ferguson. It reports Alex Jones no longer running Infowars as The Onion takes over with Tim Heidecker as a new face, Hulu adding the Handsome podcast, Ari Shaffir promoting The End storytelling show and its featured comics, Ali Siddiq and his daughter buying into Rado Market, and a one-night Brainwash recreation in San Francisco called The Wash.
