John discusses the sun-baked and hormonally rattled visage of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. who graced the Senate Finance Committee for several hours of back and forth over the Health and Human Services Secretary’s new direction for American public health. During his testimony, Kennedy told the committee he had to fire CDC Dir. Susan Monarez because she lied to Americans – unfortunately it wasn't the lies he wanted her to say.

John runs down his top picks for the biggest dick of the past week.

Attorney Jeanine Pirro decided that people carrying weapons in D.C. won't face felony gun charges anymore.
