The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal joins Himmy to critique Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for refusing to partner with Marjorie Taylor Greene on efforts to cut military aid to Israel while calling Greene a "white nationalist, even though AOC previously partnered with Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton to sanction China. He argues that AOC's refusal is a calculated effort to prioritize identity politics over the desire to stop genocide. He adds that while AOC claims to care about outcomes, she voted against Greene's amendment to strip $500 million from Israel's Iron Dome, voted "present" on another weapons package, and only belatedly called the Gaza massacre a genocide after being confronted by activists.

Max contrasts Greene, who "gave up her political career" by defying Donald Trump to stand against genocide and the Epstein class, with AOC, who "protected the architects of genocide" and has now "fully morphed into Nancy Pelosi Jr." He concludes that AOC is an "empty vessel" for calculating strategists who want to use Palestine to win over young voters while preserving imperialism, and that if she runs for president, she will maintain the cold war with China and Russia despite her progressive branding.

Young commentator Adam Mockler recently confronted CNN's Scott Jennings on live television, reminding the pundit that he and his allies sold the Iraq war with the exact same arguments—WMDs, terror state, mushroom clouds—that they are now using to justify the Iran war, and that Jennings previously promised the war would last four to six weeks while it is now failing with no political concessions and Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Jennings became visibly enraged, falsely claiming Mockler had a finger in his face and calling him "ungrateful to American service personnel," while mocking his age and telling him to get "life experience" before having an opinion.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a Glenn Greenwald tweet noting that what truly enraged Jennings was not a finger but the fact that Mockler violated the "implicit self-protective taboo" in Washington against reminding war promoters that they were catastrophically wrong about Iraq. They conclude that the exchange perfectly illustrates why young people don't trust establishment media and war hawks, noting that Iran has killed zero Americans in 47 years while the US has spent trillions on failed Middle East wars that have made Americans less safe.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor joins the show to tell Jimmy that a new phase of the Iran war is "definitely going to happen" within days, as Iran has "instructed everybody to go below ground and hide out" and the US is bombing empty buildings — to which Iran would respond asymmetrically by destroying Gulf States' power grids and desalination plants, causing mass migration and a global depression.

He notes that after Trump's "Project Freedom" failed when Iran attacked a French-owned cargo ship attempting the US-designated route, Trump suspended the operation and is now threatening a "much higher level and intensity" of bombing if Iran doesn't agree to terms. Meanwhile, Jimmy points out that Marco Rubio's statement that the goal is to get the strait "back to the way it was" means the US had to start a war so we could go back to the way things were before we started the war.

Macgregor argues that Trump's advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth because "he blows up" and "doesn't like facts that get in the way of his preferences," and that the Navy has already been forced to retreat 300-400 miles offshore because Iran's hypersonic missiles make close-in naval power impossible. He concludes that even if a deal is signed, US credibility is destroyed and "we're not going to recover from this very quickly," with a recession already underway that could turn into a decade-long depression if bombing resumes.
