U.S. ABANDONING The Persian Gulf!
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson joins Jimmy to argue that damage to U.S. military installations in the Persian Gulf has prompted the Pentagon to reconsider its long-standing military presence in the region, including whether damaged bases should be rebuilt. The two believe the conflict has weakened U.S. influence with Gulf states, which as a result will increasingly seek regional security arrangements independent of Washington, citing a proposed Saudi-Turkish-Pakistani security agreement as an example.
The discussion shifts to growing political divisions in the United States over support for Israel, with both Jimmy and Larry suggesting the issue could fracture the Republican Party and contribute to the emergence of a new political movement. The segment compares this potential realignment to the collapse of the Whig Party in the 1850s and argues that prominent former Trump allies are increasingly breaking with him over U.S. policy toward Israel.
Plus segments on Iran potentially losing its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump/Israel connection to Charlie Kirk's murder and Dr. Fauci's top advisor pleading guilty to intentionally dodging FOIA requests during the COVID pandemic.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano, John Cullen, Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Kash Patel!
