Bill is a complex man), U.S. Attorney General, for a discussion on how democrats are exploiting the Epstein files to shamelessly score political points against our beloved President Trump.
This week's in-studio panel will include John Fetterman (and Bill’s favorite democrat since Joe
Manchin), senior United States senator from Pennsylvania; and Tony Dokoupil (who Bill considers the greatest news anchor in broadcast history), anchor of the CBS Evening News, joining Bill for a discussion on how much the Super Bowl halftime show sucked, how democrats are unreasonable for blocking the SAVE Act and how Bill’s friend Bari Weiss is doing a great job getting rid of all the woke people at CBS.

'This is how a wave starts': Democrats win another special election
Phillip M. Bailey
USA TODAY
Democrats continue to do better than expected in state legislative races that national leaders believe are signs of voter frustration with President Donald Trump ahead of the 2026 midterm elections for Congress.
This time the outcome was in a state House race in Louisiana, where Democrat Chasity Verret Martinez defeated Brad Daigle, a Republican, by 24 percentage points on Feb. 7 in a district the president won by 13 percentage points in 2024.
That swing is similar to what transpired earlier in February after a special election for a state Senate seat in Texas, where the Democratic contender trounced their GOP rival and flipped a seat the party hasn't held since 1978.
Democrats already held the state House seat in Louisiana, but Republicans were hoping to flip it after Gov. Jeff Landry, a Trump ally, appointed the previous incumbent to be a commissioner for the state's Department of Alcohol & Tobacco.

Most Olympic traditions started at the 1936 Berlin Olympics
including the torch relay and lighting. So the opening is just really a Nazi ceremony.
Kamala Harris gives campaign accounts new life in fight against Trump
The former VP is partnering with People For the American Way to repurpose her dormant TikTok and X accounts, which retain millions of followers from the 2024 race.

The brains behind Kamala Harris’ 2024 social-media machine are staging a second act.
Harris’s campaign pages on TikTok and X, which have remained inactive since her November defeat to Donald Trump, are being transformed into a progressive advocacy tool through a partnership with People For the American Way. The rebranded accounts, now called “Headquarters,” retain the millions of followers accumulated during the campaign.
Vice President Harris and People For the American Way revealed the new venture Thursday, describing it as an effort “to funnel young people into both online and offline action for progressive values.”
The former vice president will serve as honorary chair emerita of Headquarters but will not have editorial control over content, according to the announcement. Her senior adviser Kirsten Allen will join the organization’s board of directors.

In 'Black and Jewish America,' Henry Louis Gates Jr explores the history of Black-Jewish partnership and conflict
A new PBS series on Black and Jewish relations shows the promise and peril of allyship
By Olivia Haynie
The new PBS series Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History is not the first piece of media to investigate the relationship between the two communities. But what’s unique about the program, narrated by scholar and Finding Your Roots host Henry Louis Gates Jr., is that it doesn’t shy away from the historic complexities of this partnership — and the many times it almost fell apart.
Alarmed by the recent rise in white supremacist hate crimes, Gates reconnected with Paul Bertelsen and Sara Wolitzky, who had worked on some of his past projects and are co-directors and co-producers of the series.
“I think we all felt collectively the same kind of revulsion at this rise of white supremacist hate,” Bertelsen, who was a producer on Gates’ Peabody Award-winning series The African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross, told me over Zoom. “The hoods came off, you know, and so we all, as storytellers and historians, grew concerned, and found this to be a great opportunity to kind of show the importance of shared experience and coalition building.”

The first episode of Black and Jewish America: An Interwoven History premieres on PBS on Tuesday, February 3rd at 9pm EST. On Feb. 5, Henry Louis Gates Jr., the filmmakers, and Sen. Corey Booker will discuss the series at 92NY.
