Dem Senators UPSET That Trump Didn’t Annihilate Iran! w/ Max Blumenthal (Jimmy Dore)

The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal joins Jimmy to expose the Democratic Party's neocon hypocrisy, highlighting how Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy demanded an end to Trump's Iran war, then immediately attacked Trump for negotiating a ceasefire—proving Democrats oppose war only when Trump starts it, not on principle. Max notes that the Democratic base overwhelmingly supports sanctions on Israel (with just single-digit support for Israel among Democrats), yet party leaders like Chuck Schumer are pushing CIA-backed candidates like Abigail Spanberger and Alyssa Slotkin while refusing to let a Palestinian speak at the DNC.

Max argues that the 2024 Democratic platform accused Trump of being "weak" for not attacking Iran, and Kamala Harris called Iran "America's number one foe" during debates. He concludes that until someone has the courage to stand up to the Zionist donor class—which literally built the DNC's headquarters—both parties will remain beholden to Israeli interests.



While Blumenthal's solution for the Middle East - of everyone living together peacefully in Israel-Palestine - is unrealistic, his take on the capture of the US political system is accurate.
