16:34Now PlayingA Department of Justice employee, Shawn Charles Dunn, was arrested in Washington, D.C. after drunkenly throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer. The incident, caught on video, sparked exaggerated reactions from officials like the Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, who framed it as a serious attack and even tied it to the “deep state.”
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger, along with independent journalist James Li, mock the overblown response, noting that the case was initially charged as a felony before a judge downgraded it, and comparing it humorously to national security scandals. The discussion then broadens to concerns that the Trump administration is using such incidents to justify heavier federal crackdowns in D.C., raising fears of expanding authoritarian control.
