In this episode, Jimmy Kimmel addresses the latest public criticism from Donald Trump, who has once again called for his firing from ABC. Kimmel uses this as a comedic launchpad for a broader discussion on politics and current events.
Key highlights from the episode include:
- Trump vs. Kimmel (0:30 - 5:48): Kimmel reacts to Trump’s social media posts demanding his termination. He jokes about the irony of being called "low-rated" and "unfunny" by the former president, while also thanking the few Republicans who have defended his right to free speech.

- JD Vance’s skepticism (7:28 - 9:08): The segment covers reports that Vice President JD Vance has privately questioned the Pentagon’s depiction of the war and expressed concerns about ammunition shortages, a topic Vance attempted to distance himself from in recent interviews.
- Cognitive testing (9:10 - 10:25): Kimmel responds to Trump’s sudden proposal that presidential candidates should undergo cognitive testing, quipping that he would love to see a live, head-to-head test between Trump and Barack Obama.
- Supreme Court and Voting Rights (11:25 - 12:35): A serious segment where Kimmel critiques the Supreme Court’s recent ruling that guts the Voting Rights Act, noting how states like Louisiana are using it to delay elections.
