Paramount Got Jokes, But Is the White House Laughing?
This week on Pardon the Politics, Jeezy and Manny celebrate a birthday and break down everything from wild satire to serious scandal. South Park returns with its season 27 premiere, and boy, did they come for Trump. From hopping into bed with Satan to AI-generated propaganda, the creators pulled no punches. But is Paramount ready for the backlash?
Meanwhile, Trump makes a rare stop at the Federal Reserve, only to get fact-checked in real-time by Jerome Powell, and social media has crowned Powell “Jerome the Truth.” We unpack Trump’s thinly veiled attempt to control the Fed and what that means heading into 2027.
Also on the docket: Candace Owens gets hit with a defamation lawsuit by French First Lady Brigitte Macron (yes, really), and Netanyahu faces growing pressure as starvation in Gaza reaches horrifying new levels.
It’s politics, satire, and sports, all wrapped in laughter and truth. Tap in, share, and get ready to think and laugh.
