Since its inception the CIA has been a nefarious operation, overthrowing governments, assassinating foreign leaders, fomenting rebellions and generally immiserating wide swaths of the world in the interests of corporate power and greed. But that’s all over now, at least according to Ana and Cenk of The Young Turks. Today’s CIA is too incompetent to pull any of that sort of stuff off, they say, ignoring what’s going on in, say, Ukraine. Or Syria. Or Haiti. Or Pakistan.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the level of apologetics and self-delusion necessary to believe the CIA is not still involved in all kinds of evil activity around the globe.
Plus an interview with Dr. Mary Talley Bowman whose lawsuit successfully compelled the FDA to stop lying on social media about Ivermectin.
Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Vince Vaughn!
