During his first term President Donald Trump adopted a vacillating stance toward Iran—initially issuing threats and then suggesting diplomatic negotiations.

In this video guest host Misty Winston and Jimmy talk to antiwar.com’s Scott Horton about the White House’s decision to keep “all options on the table,” calling it irresponsible brinkmanship tantamount to terrorism against a non-threatening nation. The hosts underscore that preemptive war violates international norms and point out that even past U.S. presidents with far greater threats refrained from such actions.

Plus segments on Donald Trump belittling Iran's weak missile attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar and Trump using the same warmongering rhetoric as his predecessor George W. Bush.

Guest host Misty Winston, along with surprise “sitting-in” guest Jimmy Dore, criticizes the Western media’s double standards in reporting hospital bombings by Iran versus Israel. They highlight the hypocrisy of Israeli and Western outrage over an Iranian missile strike near an Israeli hospital, given Israel's repeated bombings of hospitals in Gaza, Lebanon, and even Iran itself.

The discussion underscores how media narratives are manipulated to frame Israel as the perpetual victim while ignoring its violations of international law. Ultimately, the hosts argue that Israel's credibility has collapsed under the weight of its own actions and propaganda, especially in the age of social media.

Plus segments on President Trump’s demand for an investigation into the 2020 election, a judge freeing pro-Palestinian activist Khalil Mahmoud from detention, Trump threatening a nuclear first strike against Iran and NDI Tulsi Gabbard going “off message” to dispute whether Iran is developing nuclear weapons.

During a recent interview host Tucker Carlson questioned Ted Cruz about U.S. policy toward Iran, pressing him on his lack of basic knowledge about the country while accusing him of advocating reckless military intervention. Cruz awkwardly admits he doesn’t know Iran’s population, despite calling for regime change, and the exchange becomes increasingly combative as Carlson challenged the Texas senator’s credibility.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show note that Carlson gets Cruz to reveal that the U.S. is already backing Israeli strikes against Iran—contradicting official government statements. The hosts argue the push for war is being driven by pro-Israel influence and propaganda, echoing the prelude to the Iraq War. They also urge viewers, especially Trump supporters, to withhold all political support if Trump endorses military action, emphasizing the catastrophic consequences of war with Iran.

Plus segments on the likely consequences of war between the United States and Iran with Iranian professor Mohammad Marandi and the most common responses trauma surgeon Dr. Feroze Sidhwa receives when he tells people about working in a Gaza hospital.

Billionaire tech bro Peter Thiel was recently awkwardly confronted by a reporter outside the Bilderberg meeting about his company Palantir’s surveillance activities and his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Thiel refused to respond, and merely quickened his pace.

Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence show discuss Thiel’s growing influence through Palantir and Anduril, which are tied to global surveillance and warfare technologies.

They criticize the secrecy of the Bilderberg Group and argue that such elite gatherings shape geopolitical events far beyond democratic control. The video highlights the convergence of tech billionaires, defense industry leaders, and political figures who allegedly benefit from global conflicts.

Plus segments on Israel bombing the Iranian state television station and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu trying to pin the Trump assassination attempts on Iran.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned of a “nuclear holocaust” and chastised “warmongers” for bringing the world “closer to the brink of nuclear annihilation than ever before” in a foreboding video posted to social media on Tuesday.

In the three-minute video, Gabbard details a recent visit to Hiroshima, Japan to learn more about the aftermath of the U.S. nuclear attack on the city in 1945 during World War II. The video features footage of Gabbard’s trip and archival footage showing victims, interspersed with Gabbard speaking directly to camera about the consequences of a nuclear attack.

Guest host Aaron Maté discusses the curious response from prominent neoconservatives who seem to feel that warning Americans about the dangers of nuclear war is a bad thing.

The U.S. is evacuating nonessential staff from its Baghdad embassy and family members of military personnel from several bases in the Gulf amid growing concerns about the security situation, per two State Department and Pentagon officials.

The unusual steps are taking place ahead of a crucial round of nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran and amid threats made by Tehran to launch missiles against American military bases in the region in retaliation for any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities.

Guest host Aaron Maté and retired United States Army Lieutenant Colonel, and foreign policy analyst Daniel Davis discuss the likelihood that an attack on Iran is imminent and why the consequences of such an attack could be dire.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer weighed in on the ongoing ICE protests in Los Angeles, calling for tech surveillance corporation Palantir to assist in the deportation of immigrants in the country illegally. Many critics took issue with Loomer’s take, pointing out that mass surveillance of the kind practiced by Palantir is far more dangerous than even the presence of millions of migrants.

Jimmy joins the show from the road to discuss with guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss whether Donald Trump is a Trojan horse for the security state to exert total control over the populace.

Plus segments on Israel’s seizure of the Freedom Flotilla aid ship sailing with Greta Thunberg en route to Gaza and the recent escalation by Russia in the Ukraine War in response to Ukraine’s drone attacks inside Russia.

Israel has always operated a powerful and effective propaganda system - they even have a name for it, “Hasbara.” But in the age of social media the Jewish state finds itself falling behind in the propaganda battle as the ongoing genocide in Gaza and general treatment of Palestinians becomes too horrific for the rest of the world to ignore or Israel to paper over.

Jimmy speaks with formerly Gaza-based Palestinian-Egyptian journalist Youmna El Sayed about her reporting and why the tide has turned against Israel in the information war.

Plus segments on the bloodthirsty commentators populating Israeli television, House Speaker Mike Johnson’s disingenuous response to Elon Musk’s criticism of the budget bill and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy’s unhinged reaction to antisemitic jokes.
