    Metallica & Matt Taibbi CRASH OUT Over Artists Supporting Palestine

    In this episode Jimmy criticizes Metallica frontman James Hetfield for telling concertgoers that the band is not there to influence them politically and describing political issues as "b******t," leading Jimmy to point out that dismissing other artists' political advocacy is itself a political statement. Jimmy notes that Metallica has a long history of addressing political and social issues through songs about war, injustice, censorship, and government power, while also publicly supporting Ukraine, demonstrating Hetfield's inconsistent, hypocritical stance.  Journalist Matt Taibbi mocked the idea of heavy metal as political, leading Jimmy to observe that Taibbi and others apply different standards to political expression depending on whether they agree with the message, particularly regarding Israel and Palestine. Citing musicians including Dave Matthews, Axl Rose, and Zach Bryan who have expressed support for Palestinians, Jimmy argues that artists should be free to speak on political issues and accuse critics of hypocrisy when they welcome political statements they agree with but condemn opposing views. Plus segments with Col. Douglas Macgregor on Trump's plan to pay Russia for oil and the impending economic collapse, and others from his recent panel show on whether Sydney Sweeney is a honeypot operation and a leading Israeli rabbi labeled "antisemitic" by Neftali Bennet. Also featuring Mischa Paullin, Stef Zamorano, Elaine Culotti, Tim Hockenberry and Jay Johnston.

    Trump Sends THOUSANDS MORE Troops To Iran! w/ Larry Johnson

    Jimmy is joined by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to discuss the possibility of a U.S. amphibious operation or ground invasion of Iran, focusing on the deployment of additional American troops, aircraft carriers, Marines, and other military assets to the Middle East. Johnson argues that reports of a potential landing at Iran's Chabahar port would expose U.S. forces to Iranian anti-ship missiles and difficult resupply conditions, comparing such an operation to Churchill's disastrous Gallipoli campaign of World War I.  The conversation then turns to the global diesel shortage, declining fuel supplies, fertilizer production, rising food and restaurant prices, and the economic effects of Russia and China restricting diesel exports, with Johnson describing how higher energy costs are affecting American businesses and workers. The segment concludes with criticism of both Republican and Democratic leadership over Iran policy and economic conditions, including discussion of a Florida mining worker and neighbor of Johnson's who reportedly plans to switch his vote after facing a future layoff. Plus segments on Ukraine's likely collapse within six months, the strategy behind Trump's pullback of B-1 bombers from the U.K., Candace Owens' explanation for the surge in news coverage of parents murdering their children and the latest Trump administration assault on free speech. Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!
