In The Jim Jefferies Show season 2 episode 6, which aired on May 1, 2018, the Australian comedian and political commentator tackled hot-button issues such as immigration, climate change, and the 2018 midterm elections.

At the start of the episode, Jim Jefferies poked fun at the controversy surrounding the White House Correspondents' Dinner, which caused a stir after comedian Michelle Wolf roasted then-White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Jim quipped that he would have been honored to perform at the event, but "dodged a bullet" by not getting the invitation.

Moving on to more serious topics, the first segment of the show delved into the ongoing debate over immigration in the United States. Jim noted that while President Donald Trump had promised to build a border wall to keep out undocumented immigrants, there were still many loopholes that allowed them to enter the country legally. He also pointed out that some immigrants, such as those who came to the U.S. as young children and were protected under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, were facing an uncertain future due to the Trump administration's attempts to end the program.

Another segment of the show focused on the issue of climate change and the Trump administration's rollback of environmental regulations. Jim discussed the recent announcement that the U.S. would no longer honor its commitment to the Paris climate agreement, which had been signed by nearly 200 countries. He pointed out that the decision was not only harmful to the environment, but also led to a missed opportunity for American businesses that could have profited from transitioning to renewable energy sources.

The final segment of the episode was devoted to the 2018 midterm elections, which were set to take place in November of that year. Jim argued that while midterm elections were often overlooked and seen as less important than presidential elections, they could have a significant impact on the direction of the country. He highlighted some of the key races to watch, including the Senate race in Texas between incumbent Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Beto O'Rourke. Jim noted that O'Rourke had been gaining momentum and was seen as an underdog in the race, but had managed to build a grassroots following with his progressive platform.

Throughout the episode, Jim's irreverent humor was on full display as he skewered politicians on both sides of the aisle. He also brought on guests such as journalist Ece Temelkuran and author Naomi Klein to provide insights on the issues being discussed. Overall, The Jim Jefferies Show season 2 episode 6 was a lively and thought-provoking look at some of the most pressing topics facing the country.
