During a recent interview, Amazon’s Jeff Bezos has called for eliminating income taxes for the bottom half of American earners, specifically mentioning a hypothetical nurse in Queens making 75,000 who pays over 1,000 per month. But Jimmy argues Bezos is not making this suggestion out of concern for workers, but because he and other billionaires know a revolt is coming and are trying to appease the population before it's too late. He points out that Bezos's Amazon warehouse workers experience 100-150% annual turnover, half struggle with food insecurity and housing costs, and one-third rely on public assistance, meaning taxpayers subsidize the richest man in the world while Amazon accelerates the closure of Main Street small businesses. 

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast the US, where billionaire capitalists sit above the government and control politicians through campaign donations, with China, where the government sits above capitalists and can jail or execute billionaires who exploit their people. He concludes that the "nurse in Queens" and other working people are subsidizing the oligarchs through their taxes, while the ultra-wealthy hoard wealth, write off yachts as tax deductions, and—as Larry Fink of BlackRock admitted—are genuinely afraid that ordinary Americans will use $3,000 drones to destroy their billion-dollar AI data centers.

Plus segments on college graduates booing commencement speakers promoting AI, Dan Bongino crashing out over his side defeating Thomas Massie and the massive drought in the western U.S. no one’s talking about.
