Jon Stewart LIES To Push Pro-War Propaganda! w/ Rick Overton

Jimmy and comedian, writer and actor Rick Overton light into Jon Stewart for recycling Islamophobic "72 virgin" jokes from the Iraq War era to mock Iran's response to U.S. aggression, accusing him of pushing war propaganda while ignoring critical facts. They detail how Iran only attacked U.S. military bases that were being used to bomb Iran, while Israel is simultaneously attacking Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Lebanon—facts Stewart omits to paint Iran as irrational. Jimmy points out that Israeli agents were arrested in Gulf countries for planning bombings, confirming that Israel is actively trying to drag the region into a wider war, which former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert admits Israel wants. Jimmy and Rick conclude by noting Stewart's brother, Larry Leibowitz, was a top executive at the New York Stock Exchange, suggesting a conflict of interest that explains his silence on Wall Street and willingness to toe the establishment line on wars, Ukraine, and COVID. Plus segments on Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson eviscerating Piers Morgan over the Iran war, the likelihood that Gulf Coast states will crater the US economy and Trump's unhinged pledge to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Dennis Kucinich and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Hillary Supporter!
