CNN Panelist CRASHES OUT When Confronted With Iran War Facts!

The Jimmy Dore Show

Young commentator Adam Mockler recently confronted CNN's Scott Jennings on live television, reminding the pundit that he and his allies sold the Iraq war with the exact same arguments—WMDs, terror state, mushroom clouds—that they are now using to justify the Iran war, and that Jennings previously promised the war would last four to six weeks while it is now failing with no political concessions and Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz. Jennings became visibly enraged, falsely claiming Mockler had a finger in his face and calling him "ungrateful to American service personnel," while mocking his age and telling him to get "life experience" before having an opinion.

Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger point to a Glenn Greenwald tweet noting that what truly enraged Jennings was not a finger but the fact that Mockler violated the "implicit self-protective taboo" in Washington against reminding war promoters that they were catastrophically wrong about Iraq. They conclude that the exchange perfectly illustrates why young people don't trust establishment media and war hawks, noting that Iran has killed zero Americans in 47 years while the US has spent trillions on failed Middle East wars that have made Americans less safe. Plus segments on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's closed-door testimony about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and disuputed claims about how long Iran can withstand a US blockade. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Scott Ritter! And a phone call from JD Vance and Benjamin Netanyahu!
