Since its inception the CIA has been a nefarious operation, overthrowing governments, assassinating foreign leaders, fomenting rebellions and generally immiserating wide swaths of the world in the interests of corporate power and greed. But that’s all over now, at least according to Ana and Cenk of The Young Turks. Today’s CIA is too incompetent to pull any of that sort of stuff off, they say, ignoring what’s going on in, say, Ukraine. Or Syria. Or Haiti. Or Pakistan.  Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the level of apologetics and self-delusion necessary to believe the CIA is not still involved in all kinds of evil activity around the globe. Plus an interview with Dr. Mary Talley Bowman whose lawsuit successfully compelled the FDA to stop lying on social media about Ivermectin. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!

During a recent campaign appearance, Donald Trump said that if he wins in 2024 he will impose a 100% tax on vehicles manufactured in Mexico but that if he fails to defeat Joe Biden, there will be a “bloodbath.” Liberal heads instantly exploded over Trump’s obvious call for political violence, or so they claimed.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Morning Joe Scarborough’s leading the demented charge to indict Trump for using what is a commonplace term — one he himself has often used in the past.

Plus segments on MSNBC host Ali Velshi’s shocking segment revealing the depth of AIPAC’s control of the U.S. Congress and an online commentator’s savage takedown of grifter Shaun King.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Joe Biden!

There's more to the proposed TikTok ban currently being considered in Congress than merely an attempt to silence a social media platform elite interests can't control. As Jimmy discusses with Dr. Robert Malone, Congressman Thomas Massie has exposed that the legislation will be far-reaching, and allow the government to eliminate any website or even internet hosting service. This is why Massie describes the bill as a "Trojan Horse" for mass online government censorship. Plus a segment on the co-optation of medical journals by Big Pharma and Big Money. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Chuck Schumer!

After losing his CNN hosting gig, Don Lemon was supposed to enjoy a soft landing at X/Twitter, where he was given the opportunity to host a whole new show. But that didn’t happen after a tense interview with Elon Musk during which Lemon applauded the X CEO for promoting free speech by adding Lemon’s show but criticized him for NOT censoring what Lemon termed “hate speech.”

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why it’s a bad idea for tech industry billionaires to decide what speech should and should not be allowed.

Plus segments on the January 6 committee withholding evidence exonerating Trump and rocker Neil Young coming crawling back to Spotify.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Mike MacRae and Dr. Robert Malone. And a phone call from Al Pacino!

Online commentator Ben Shapiro is NOT a fan of Social Security. In fact, he believes that the concept of retirement itself is outlandish, and people should continue working as long as they are physically capable of doing so. And they certainly should not begin getting payouts from the government at age 65, he says. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Shapiro not only gets the retirement age in the United States wrong (it’s 67), but that he is clearly so cloistered in his elitist, professional managerial class bubble that he has no conception of what it’s like for people who do actual physical labor to work well into their elder years. Plus segments about the recent suspicious “suicide” of Boeing whistleblower John Barnett and Candace Owens’ recent schooling of Chris Cuomo over the former CNN host’s Putin Derangement Syndrome. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Due Dissidence’s Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss.

In case you’re unaware that Robert DeNiro hates Donald Trump, the Academy Award-winning actor went on Bill Maher’s show to explain that Trump is really bad and that another Trump presidency would represent a “nightmare.” Yet as Maher points out, Trump is winning in polls and gaining — a reality that DeNiro has no answer for. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the way our media platforms the least-informed like DeNiro to talk about Trump even though he can’t even explain why he hates Trump so much. Plus segments on Krystal Ball and Ryan Grim on Breaking Points going all-in on supporting Joe Biden and Democratic Congressman Adam Schiff’s victory speech being disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.

Joe Biden delivered his much-anticipated State of the Union address, and not surprisingly the lies, duplicity, warmongering and pure service to the ruling class were all on display. Biden even opened to bipartisan applause in calling for pushing the pointless, horrific Ukraine War as a means of “deterring” Putin. And the rest was no better. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how little Biden addressed actual problems being faced by the vast majority of Americans. Plus segments on the New York Times’ phony “leak” about the CIA and Ukraine, and MSNBC’s hosts mocking voters who care about immigration.

As the New York Times “reporting” on allegations of widespread sexual violence during Hamas’ October 7th attacks falls apart, The Intercept is taking credit for exposing The Times. One problem? As The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal explains, The Intercept repeated the same allegations, and then later ripped off reporting exposing the Times from The Grayzone and other outlets. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Blumenthal about how The Intercept — and Democracy Now — operate as intermediaries between truly independent media and traditional corporate media. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And phone calls from Joe Biden and Hillary Supporter!

Political pundits Thomas Schiller and Paul Waldman recently appeared on MSNBC with Mike Brzezinski to explain what a threat to democracy is posed by rural voters. These Trump supporters are racists, misogynists, anti-immigrant and violent, the pundits argue, and need to be dealt with. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Schiller and Waldman undermine their own argument by identifying the pain rural America has experienced and that Trump has exploited. Plus segments on the January 6th journalist recently arrested by the FBI and Jon Stewart’s efforts to “both sides” the Israel-Hamas conflict. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Due Dissonance hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss!

Dr. Thomas Seyfried has been researching cancer treatment for decades, and he says the underlying theory for how we treat cancer — based on the premise that cancer is a genetic disorder — is all wrong. Instead, cancer is a mitochondrial disorder that is much more effectively treated by starving the cancer cells of the specific nutrients that they need to survive and grow. Jimmy talks to Dr. Seyfried about the history of cancer treatment, how his research led to his conclusions and all the problems underlying our traditional approach to cancer treatment. Plus a segment on Boris Johnson demanding $1 million before granting an interview to Tucker Carlson.
