In the segment, guest host Garland Nixon is joined by antiwar.com's Kyle Anzalone to discuss Iran's devastating attacks on the U.S. Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain, which is so badly damaged that U.S. personnel cannot even return to retrieve personal effects, exposing Trump's claims that Iran is defeated as lies. The two highlight how Bahrain's majority Shia population cheered Iranian missile strikes because the U.S. base enforces the Sunni monarchy's oppression, and that Iran's attacks also caused supply problems for the USS Abraham Lincoln. Anzalone argues the war strategy was disastrous and wasteful, as billions spent on vulnerable bases could have improved America, and the conflict is destabilizing the U.S. economically and politically. They predict Republicans will be wiped out in midterms but warn Democrats will not change foreign policy, as both parties serve the same interests, as evinced by Hakeem Jeffries's recent meeting with Jared Kushner and many Democrats pushing for MORE aggression against Iran. Plus segments on Hillary Clinton accusing Benjamin Netanyahu of having foreknowledge of the October 7th attacks, George W. Bush continuing to push lies about 9/11 and Trump letting it slip that the best way to avoid being attacked by the United States is to develop nuclear weapons. Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mischa Paullin and Sam Husseini!
