Summary

Even though the media tries to obscure the issue, worsening blackouts, fuel shortages, and humanitarian conditions in Cuba are the direct result of intensified U.S. sanctions under President Donald Trump, including threats of tariffs on countries that supply oil to the island. Jimmy describes these measures as collective punishment aimed at collapsing Cuba's government, comparing them to past U.S. actions in Iran and Venezuela and accusing corporate media of omitting the role of the long-standing embargo. 

Jimmy draws parallels between U.S. policy toward Cuba and Israel's siege of Gaza, claiming both represent deliberate economic warfare against civilian populations. The episode concludes by describing a history of CIA propaganda against Cuba, asserting that economic pressure—not internal policy failures—is primarily responsible for the country's current crisis.

Plus segments on Israel's role in the recent South American fires, Bill Maher addressing his feud with Jimmy Kimmel and Erika Kirk's latest lie exposed by Candace Owens.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano, Kurt Metzger, Baron Cohen and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from JD Vance!
