We all know that the United States ships billions of dollars to Israel, but in this segment Jimmy explains how the true figure is much higher than most of us have been led to believe, and that U.S. financial support for Israel has totaled about $1.6 trillion since 1973. He and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger criticize how taxpayer funds—through direct military aid, state pension investments in Israeli bonds, and emergency spending—are allegedly prioritized for foreign conflicts rather than addressing economic struggles at home.

They argue that both political parties enable this imbalance, pointing to examples like Senator Ted Cruz's over-the-top pro-Israel remarks as evidence of bipartisan subservience to foreign interests. The segment closes by contrasting America's deteriorating infrastructure and social welfare with the vast sums directed overseas, framing the issue as one of class and systemic corruption rather than left versus right politics.

Plus segment on Candace Owens' growing popularity since being fired by Ben Shapiro and video of Ukrainian President Zelensky acknowledging just days after the Russian invasion that many western powers wanted to use Ukraine just to weaken Russia.

Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. Plus a phone call from Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani!
