Transcript:

Donald Trump turns 80 years old this weekend, and he’s going to throw himself a little party with a UFC fight on the White House lawn that we are all paying for, unfortunately.

We’re also going to talk about the strange but real statistical phenomenon that people are more likely to die on or around their birthdays, which links this weekend’s events to some pretty interesting scientific research.

Trump then melts down over growing calls for his impeachment, and says that our friend, Congressman Jamie Raskin, should be expelled from the House of Representatives. Not going to happen.

And we will hear from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who embarrasses himself by comparing the UFC fight on the White House lawn to when man landed on the moon. A little bit is missing there in that analogy.

There are also reports that Donald Trump can no longer stand for long periods of time, and that this is why all of his events are now sitting down.

And James Comer, the congressman, revives election fraud claims aimed at “it’s the blacks.” What an old reliable trope for them. We’re going to break it all down.

Plus the latest push to denaturalize 17 citizens.

All of that today.
