Summary

Jimmy deconstructs Donald Trump's absurd press conference Monday where the President tried to spin the loss of a U.S. fighter jet (shot down over Iran) as a victory, with Trump at one point bizarrely acting as if his team had just discovered the expression "like finding a needle in a haystack." 

Jimmy also highlights the clownish spectacle of CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth engaging in an "ass-kissing fest," praising Trump's "political courage" to send others to war while he received deferments. He notes that Trump simultaneously threatens to "take Iran back to the Stone Ages" while claiming negotiations are ongoing—a contradiction that exposes the administration's complete lack of coherent strategy. 

Jimmy concludes that the entire press conference was an attempt to pretend a failed mission (likely an attempt to seize Iranian nuclear material, not a pilot rescue) was a triumph, with Trump's officials admitting nothing while demanding more strikes.

Plus segments on all the lies surrounding the recent Iran "rescue mission," Trump blowing up his own reasoning behind the Iran war and reports of Israelis using "deed theft" to steal poor Americans' homes.

Also featuring Mike MacRae, Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano! And a phone call from Kevin Spacey!
