Synopsis

Jordan Klepper dives into the confidence boost from a former American president that supposedly inspired Trump to consider "taking Cuba", counterterrorism official Joe Kent resigning over the war in Iran, and MAGA turning on each other with "micropenis" allegations. Also, Troy Iwata runs his gaydar on Iran's new supreme leader to find out if he's queerbaiting Americans. Freedom of speech is under attack, but thanks to the Trump administration, now you can say anything you want about the president for just $50 a month! Fork over your cash and rest easy knowing that Free Speech Plus has your back, if you don't mention corruption, cankles, Epstein, or his little dick. Subscribe today!
