Donald Trump is hosting a million dollar per person dinner at Mar-a-Lago. It's not for charity. It's not for policy. It's the buy himself a new Congress. And meanwhile, the same man of the people crowd that he built his empire on is realizing that their Trump watches that they bought were never even shipped to them. It's really the Trump economy in miniature. Give the rich access and poor get conned. The twist maybe we did see coming. Joe Rogan, one of Trump's biggest defenders, is turning on him. We're going to get into that and why it matters. All that, plus Donald Trump's meltdown over a bald Time magazine cover. The View went after Robert F. Kennedy Junior's wife right to her face. And Mago World's got a new conspiracy theory about the protests.
They're terrified. All of that and more today.
Cheryl Hines is an actress maybe most known for playing Larry David's wife in the show Curb Your Enthusiasm. She is married to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the secretary of Health and Human Services under Donald Trump. She appeared on The View. It did not go particularly well. Now, I'm going to tell you, I do not respect what Cheryl Hines has done since her husband became the political flashpoint that he has become. I've had a little bit of sort of overlap in some social circles with RFK and Cheryl Hines from years ago, which I'll talk about in a moment. And the bottom line is, I don't I don't really believe this crap at all. I think she's essentially playing a character here. But regardless, she tries to defend the indefensible when Sonny Hostin and others on The View confront her.
Here's a little bit of how that went.
These companies for health reasons, because they were causing health problems.
But the problem, respectfully, is that your husband is the least qualified Department of Health and Human Services head that we've had in history.
I think that's a very dangerous, dangerous... Why is he less qualified than an economist? I think that he is less qualified. He spent his career studying toxins, studying people's health, fighting for one guy. who was using Roundup for his job.
He has also spread a lot of misinformation, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion. And I think it's just a very dangerous thing. I say it with the utmost respect. Some of it's good and some of it's not.
That's the point. Listen, we all have different views here. And when you say, you know, misinformation, disinformation... We could go back to COVID when... He's connecting circumcision to autism.
May I finish?
Please. When people, Fauci, people were saying when you get the vaccine, you cannot transmit COVID. It will stop COVID. And that was disinformation, misinformation.
We were also still learning about it. It was a novel virus we'd never encountered before.
Yeah. You know, the other thing this is a talking point. We'll get back to this in a second. This is a talking point they use, which is we were lied that the vaccine prevents the spread of covid. The clinical study data from that first vaccine did show that it prevented the spread of covid. And that seemed to be borne out in the data based on the variant that was circulating then in the first vaccine. Over time, as the variants continued to change and the vaccines lagged for arguably not necessarily further and further behind, but lagged behind, the vaccine was affected, effective at preventing serious illness and death, but not transmission. But to say that that was misinformation at the time, circumstances ultimately change.
But in any case, this is I really don't know whether I buy this from Cheryl Hines. And the reason I mention that is some some of, you know, you know, we're sort of connected to Mike Papantonio and Ring of Fire. And sometimes I and other progressive media people would go out to meetings in Vegas that Mike Papantonio would organize. They were legal conferences and Sam Seder regularly broadcast from there. And anyway, so at the time, Mike Papantonio and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. were relatively close. I don't know if they were like working together on projects.
