The Opposition with Jordan Klepper is a satirical talk show that takes a humorous look at the news and current events. In season 1 episode 6, titled "October 3, 2017," Jordan Klepper continues to lead his team of faux reporters in their mission to counteract the mainstream media and present the "truth" from a conspiracy-minded conservative perspective.
Throughout the show, Klepper uses his sharp wit and over-the-top demeanor to mock the left and present alternative (and often absurd) viewpoints on current events. In this episode, he tackles a range of topics, from the recent mass shooting in Las Vegas to the ongoing controversy surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
One of the highlights of the episode is a segment in which Klepper sends one of his correspondents to a Las Vegas gun show to test out the theory that more guns will lead to less violence. As expected, the results are not what the conspiracy theorists might have hoped for.
Klepper also takes aim at the media's coverage of the shooting, mocking the way they jump to conclusions and sensationalize stories before the facts are even known. He contrasts this with the approach of his own show, which he claims is always looking for the deeper, hidden truths behind the news.
Another segment takes on the controversy surrounding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem, with Klepper declaring that the only true patriots are those who stand and salute the flag. He quizzes his correspondents on their knowledge of the national anthem, and takes a few jabs at Colin Kaepernick along the way.
Overall, the episode is a hilarious take on some of the most pressing issues in the news today, presented from a decidedly conservative perspective. Whether you agree or disagree with Klepper's viewpoints, there's no denying that he makes for entertaining viewing.
