About this episode
As soon as word got out that conservative commentator Charlie Kirk had been shot, rumors began circulating online suggesting Israeli involvement, compelling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to dismiss them as absurd and antisemitic. A Grayzone article cited an anonymous Trump insider who claimed Kirk rejected Netanyahu's financial backing for Turning Point USA and faced escalating pressure and intimidation from pro-Israel allies. Guest host Misty Winston and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how, in the months before his death, Kirk publicly questioned Israeli influence in Washington, October 7th intelligence failures, and the unchecked power of Zionist donors, sparking backlash from figures like Ben Shapiro. The coverage frames Kirk's killing as both a turning point in right-wing discourse on Israel and a warning to others not to dissent. Plus segments on the CIA's long history of trafficking cocaine, even through Venezuela, and why Zohran Mamdani is not coming to save us from our corrupt political system. Also featuring Jimmy Dore, Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani!
