Joan Baez Pauses John Mulaney’s Talk Show to Slam ‘Incompetent Billionaires’ Running America: ‘Our Democracy Is Going Up in Flames’


Joan Baez said America is being run by 'incompetent billionaires' during her appearance on 'Everybody's Live With John Mulaney.'

Joan Baez shared a stern message about U.S. politics during her Wednesday night appearance on the season premiere of “Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney.” Before telling a story about Martin Luther King Jr., who she said was a “funny person,” Baez paused the show to “set the context” for the current state of American leadership. While she never mentioned them by name, Baez was most likely referring to President Donald Trump and Tesla founder Elon Musk, who has been slashing federally funded programs through his Department of Government Efficiency.
