Jimmy is joined by former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to discuss the possibility of a U.S. amphibious operation or ground invasion of Iran, focusing on the deployment of additional American troops, aircraft carriers, Marines, and other military assets to the Middle East. Johnson argues that reports of a potential landing at Iran's Chabahar port would expose U.S. forces to Iranian anti-ship missiles and difficult resupply conditions, comparing such an operation to Churchill's disastrous Gallipoli campaign of World War I. The conversation then turns to the global diesel shortage, declining fuel supplies, fertilizer production, rising food and restaurant prices, and the economic effects of Russia and China restricting diesel exports, with Johnson describing how higher energy costs are affecting American businesses and workers. The segment concludes with criticism of both Republican and Democratic leadership over Iran policy and economic conditions, including discussion of a Florida mining worker and neighbor of Johnson's who reportedly plans to switch his vote after facing a future layoff.Plus segments on Ukraine's likely collapse within six months, the strategy behind Trump's pullback of B-1 bombers from the U.K., Candace Owens' explanation for the surge in news coverage of parents murdering their children and the latest Trump administration assault on free speech.Also featuring Mischa Paullin and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Jeff Bridges!
