On a recent show Bill Maher claimed that Donald Trump should win a Nobel Peace Prize if he helps topple the governments of Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran. Jimmy and guest Dave Smith dismantle this argument, pointing out that this mindset glorifies regime change rather than peace. The two frame Maher's comments as propaganda-driven and historically ignorant, glossing over decades of U.S.-led coups, sanctions, and interventions that destabilized regions and killed millions. The discussion emphasizes that encouraging uprisings or foreign-backed protests creates moral hazards, often leading to civil war, failed states, or prolonged violence, as seen in Iraq, Libya, and Syria. Ultimately, the two argue that calls to overthrow governments, especially without a realistic post-regime plan, reflect a dangerous, outdated worldview that continues to fuel endless war. Plus segments on Erika Kirk and TPUSA flagrantly breaking election laws, new TikTok competitor UpScrolled's plans to censor "dangerous" speech and Trump's shocking comments at Davos about the U.S. housing market. Also featuring Stew Peters, Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!
