·56 min·5 clips

Iran warns it will target Apple, Google, and Nvidia for their role in assassinating Iranian officials.

The episode opens with a satirical news format, where host Lee Camp, a self-described censored comedian, critiques the U.S. war on Iran. He argues the conflict has had opposite effects to U.S. intentions, failing to control global oil and instead boosting the Chinese petroyuan. Camp reads a statement from Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatening U.S. tech companies like Cisco, Apple, and NVIDIA for their alleged role in assassinations. He contends the U.S. is the aggressor, citing the bombing of schools. The host explains that Trump's actions are accelerating the end of U.S. dollar hegemony, with Fortune Magazine noting a rise in the petroyuan. Camp introduces a Deutsche Bank 'pressure index' that tracks Trump's likelihood to retreat based on stock market, approval ratings, inflation, and Treasury yields, showing a spike due to the Iran war. He suggests Trump hasn't backed down because the attack serves petrodollar interests and Israeli pressure. The episode shifts to a U.S. military strategy called 'Greater North America,' described by a Pentagon official as annexing territory from Greenland to Ecuador. Camp then reports that Colombia is exiting the ISDS investment arbitration regime, following calls from economists like Joseph Stiglitz. He mentions Israel passing a death penalty exclusively for Palestinians. Camp promotes his Substack articles on the truth about October 7th. The final segment details an email entrapment scheme, possibly by the FBI, that lures activists into group chats discussing overthrowing the government, where mere participation can lead to criminal charges. The episode is interspersed with Toyota truck advertisements.
