Episode: BREAKING: Israel's DESPERATE Assassination Plot To Kill Iran Deal!

Date: July 9, 2026

Guest Hosts: Keaton and Kurt, with Nicholas Holscher
Main Theme:
A critical, satirical breakdown of newly leaked revelations about Israeli plots to assassinate Iranian negotiators during U.S.-Iran peace talks, the media's portrayal and sanitization of Israel’s actions, the resulting impact in Iran, and a heterodox discussion of sunscreen and cancer risks.

---

Episode Overview

This episode, hosted by Keaton and Kurt in Jimmy Dore's absence, delves into bombshell reporting from the New York Times that U.S. officials believed Israel intended to assassinate Iran's top negotiators during sensitive peace talks. The conversation expands to American media’s bias, how propaganda shapes public perceptions of the Iran war, skepticism around Israel's commitment to peace, and the unexpected mass mourning for Iran's murdered leaders. The latter half pivots to a controversial analysis of new research on sunscreen's safety, led by guest epidemiologist Nicholas Holscher.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Israel’s Alleged Assassination Plot Against Iran Negotiators

• New York Times Scoop:
  Keaton details U.S. concern that Israel planned to kill Iran’s negotiating officials, potentially dooming peace attempts (00:36).

  "U.S. officials believed that Israel might have been plotting to kill Iran's top negotiators while Washington was engaged with Tehran in delicate talks...that would doom the negotiations." (Keaton, 00:36)

• Targets:
  Abbas Arachi (Iranian foreign minister) and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf (parliament speaker).

• Divergence of U.S. and Israeli Aims:
  Trump’s administration was uneasy about Israel’s aggressiveness, especially as it targeted more pragmatic leaders involved in talks (Ali Larijani and Kamal Kharazi, both killed in Israeli airstrikes) (00:36-02:27).

• Media Framing:
  The hosts criticize the New York Times for normalizing these actions and using euphemistic language such as “broad public concern in Israel that the U.S. was ending the war too quickly” (03:48).

  “You see how reasonable they make them sound?” (Keaton, 04:43)

• Israel's True Motives:
  Hosts argue that Israel’s skepticism of peace is a front for preventing the U.S. from making a deal, instead pushing for regime change and the dismantling of Iran’s proxy forces and missile program (04:53).

2. Media Propaganda, Bias, and Public (Mis)Perception

• Sterilized Reporting:
  The hosts highlight the sanitized way media reports on Israeli actions, masking intended escalations toward conflict (04:53-06:12).

• Manipulation and Blackmail:
  Theorizing why Trump capitulated to Israeli demands, they suggest blackmail is in play, referencing the “Epstein file debacle” and other forms of leverage (31:51-32:04).

• Notable Quote:

  "It's just extraordinary to live through this twenty years after the Iraq war when literally the exact same line of shit was said to sell that." (Keaton, 23:50)

3. Iranian Response: Mass Mourning, Nationalism, and Global Media

• Funeral Coverage & Public Sentiment:
  The hosts describe the mass turnout for Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral after his assassination, with millions flooding the streets in mourning, contradicting neocon/U.S. establishment narratives that Iranians would welcome the U.S. as liberators.

  • "Turns out most people don't like being bombed by foreigners, but that's a big thank you parade." (Kurt, 15:11)

• Independent Journalist Accounts:
  Max Blumenthal describes being present in Tehran, observing “the largest funeral in history” and the intensity of the crowd (16:41).

• Media's Reluctant Coverage:
  Even major news outlets (CNN, NBC News, Sky News, Al Jazeera) reported millions in attendance, which starkly contrasted with initial U.S. rhetoric (21:00-30:18).

• U.S. Government/Narrative Delusion:
  Audio clips of Trump reveal his misjudgment:

  "Great proud people of Iran. I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand...When we are finished, take over your government." (Donald Trump, 30:52)

  • Hosts mock how out of touch this was with actual Iranian sentiment.

4. Skepticism of Reports of Anti-Regime Sentiment

• Media Claims Debunked:
  Reporting that there was a significant anti-government faction at the funeral is ridiculed:

  "I don't believe her when she acts as if there's a sizable contingent of, you know, anti IRGC members there or an anti, uh, government faction at the funeral." (Keaton, 26:39)

• Radicalization by U.S. Atrocities:
  Even skeptical Iranians became more anti-American after indiscriminate killings ("...everything changed when Trump killed kids in Manob and said that his goal was to end Iranian civilization." (Unidentified Guest, 26:16))

5. Israel as America’s Questionable “Ally”

• Alliances and Morality:
  The hosts indict the U.S. establishment's continued support for Israel despite evidence of repeated sabotage and provocation:

  "By what definition is this country an ally of ours? It's amazing. It really is." (Keaton, 12:43)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Media Whitewashing:

  "It's actually more telling to put the source because you get to see the bias as it's written...they just make them sound reasonable." (Keaton, 03:48)

• On Propaganda:

  “Nobody thinks it's weird that they all learn the same thing at the same time…doesn't strike you as a little suspicious?” (Keaton, 35:27)

• On Radicalization:

  "When you blow up a school, that kind of radicalizes people in the other direction." (Keaton, 27:38)

• On the Funeral:

  “This is the biggest funeral ceremony ever...Al Jazeera says this is the largest funeral procession in human history…with more than 10 million people estimated to have shown up in Tehran…” (Keaton, 17:34-18:17)

• On U.S. Delusion:

  "Do not let it pass...Well, they seem to have let that moment pass. They seem to have missed their big opportunity that you so graciously handed them." (Keaton, 33:00)

Special Segment: Sunscreen and Skin Cancer – Controversial New Research

Guest: Nicholas Holscher, Epidemiologist (36:10–53:42)

Summary

• New Large-Scale Study:
  Holscher discusses a new study of 470,000 people, finding that frequent sunscreen users had increased risk for all major types of skin cancer, particularly invasive melanoma (38:45).

  • “Invasive melanoma was 300% higher risk in the sunscreen users...They accounted for skin color, time spent outdoors, and many other things...and still found these increased risks.” (Holscher, 37:22)

• Mechanisms Suggested:
  Sunscreen blocks vitamin D, important in cancer defense; active ingredients such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octocrylene may disrupt hormones and are toxic to cells (48:13).

• Industry and Medical Pushback:
  Despite evidence, doctors and institutions maintain sunscreen safety, often dismissing new findings as “paradox” or blaming the behavior of users rather than the product (42:55).

  • “It’s the most well-established narrative, not actually a finding.” (Holscher, 47:07)

• Environmental Harm:
  Many sunscreens are banned in places like Hawaii for killing coral reefs, suggesting potency and possible human dangers as well (51:05).

Final Thoughts

This episode typifies The Jimmy Dore Show’s fierce, iconoclastic approach—derisive toward mainstream narratives and officialdom, sharply critical of Israeli policy, and unsparing in exposing media misdirection and government hypocrisy. The tone is caustic, comedic, and relentlessly skeptical, whether probing the geopolitics of the Middle East or the hidden dangers of everyday products. If you want the unvarnished, often uncomfortable counter-narrative, this episode delivers—along with several laughs.

Transcript

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, come see me on tour. We'll be in Burbank, California August 30th with the live celebrity panel show and then September 18th through the 20th in Chicago, Illinois and Rosemont, Illinois. Go to Jimmy Doe.com for a link for tickets.

[Keaton]

Establishment media sucks.

[Kurt]

August Light and so good luck Bullshit. We can't afford why he's fomenting this.

[Keaton]

Watch and see as his jack off

[Kurt]

the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits some.

[Keaton]

Welcome to the Jimmy Door show, everyone. Keaton and Kurt here while Jimmy is away. So some more inside scoops on our greatest ally here. In case you weren't sure who's in charge. U.S. officials believed Israel was plotting to kill Iranian negotiators A big scoop from the New York Times. U.S. officials believed that Israel might have been plotting to kill Iran's top negotiators while Washington was engaged with Tehran in delegate talks this spring to reach an interim peace deal. According to current and former American officials, killing senior Iranian leaders had been part of Israel's strategy from the start of the war. But American concerns about the targeting of two particular Iranian officials, Abbas Arachi, Iran's foreign minister, and Mohammed Bagar Golubov, the speaker of the Parliament. The spiked during delicate cease fire negotiations that began in April. I love the New York Times reporting this as if it's all just, you know, normal. Fearful that an Israeli assassination effort would doom the negotiations, the United States, according to some of the officials, went so far as to ask other countries in the region to warn Iran about the possibility Israel could target the two officials. While US Strikes focused on Iran's navy and missile forces, Israel prioritized targeting the leadership in the early phase of the war and intent on killing as many high ranking officials as it could. That included killing potentially more pragmatic leaders that the Trump administration had hoped to negotiate with, such as Ali Larajani, Iran's top national security official, and Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister. Both men were involved in the negotiations with the United States when they were killed in Israeli airstrikes. So you see, you see how Israel is simply not going to allow for a peace to be negotiated.

[Kurt]

They don't have a partner in peace.

[Keaton]

They don't have a partner in peace.

[Kurt]

They don't have a partner.

[Keaton]

That's right. They don't have a partner in peace.

[Kurt]

What about a partner in peace? Officer Tatum lets me spit on him. He's a partner for peace. He's a Shabbos guy.

[Keaton]

The Trump administration's suspicions about the possible Israeli plot to Kill. The two top negotiators show how the US and Israeli war aims, which were close at the very beginning of the war, quickly diverged radically. Yeah, that's one way of putting it. And while the United States wanted a peace agreement, Israel has been skeptical from the initial cessation of hostilities in April. So that is New York Times speak for Israel will not let the United States make a peace. Like to, to phrase that as if. Yeah, Israel has some justifiable skepticism about the terms of a peace deal. As if this whole thing wasn't their idea to begin with. As if they're not holding the entire world hostage with nuclear stakes in this now what, six month long?

[Kurt]

That's a conspiracy. That's ridiculous. Yeah, CNN look a level of the world. We don't care. It's the nuttiest thing to watch. Where I'm watching these people say one thing one day, of course.

[Keaton]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

And the next day the opposite. And then the people I know that still support. I'm actually text my friend right now in anger where I'm like, do you not know? How do you not know about this yet?

[Keaton]

Yeah, no, it's, it's incredible. It really is. The initial two week ceasefire in April was met with grudging Israeli official support and broad public concern in Israel that the United States was ending the war too quickly. It was just broad public concern. Again, that's just the New York Times just sanitizing. You know, it's funny, just a little inside baseball. When Malcolm pitched this story to me, he sent me the Antiwar.com article by our friend Dave De Camp, who's great. I, I, well, I, I try to feature his stuff and their stuff as often as I can, but that was sourced from this. And I thought, you know what, it's actually more telling to put the source because you get to see the bias as it's written. Right. Like it actually is useful to read this and dissect it. Broad public concern in Israel that the United States was ending the war too early. You see how reasonable they make them sound? Oh yeah.

[Kurt]

Are they?

[Keaton]

There was a lot of concern that, you know, American kids. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Kurt]

I'm concerned you make them into goi jerky. I got them concerns.

[Keaton]

Those are some, those are those. That is a broad public concern in the podcaster community. Yes, indeed. Rather than being driven from power, the theocratic government of Iran had become even more hardline. And Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had only consolidated its control over the country. Officials and commentators in Israel viewed the initial Agreement as a disaster again. Oh, they, they. This was their honest opinion. You know, we all want the same thing, right? But the world's a complicated place, Right, because it did not accomplish their country's war aims of forcing regime change, destroying Iran's proxy forces, and seriously damaging its missile program. Israeli officials also worried the agreement would put billions of dollars into Iran, allowing it to quickly rebuild after the war and without meaningfully restricting its nuclear ambitions. Now, remember back in April when Donald Trump tweeted out, a whole civilization will die tonight, rather never to be brought back again. And he gave them a deadline. Eight o' clock tonight. Now, here's how the reasonable Israelis who had, you know, broad public concerns about the war ending too soon, they actually, these sick fucks, actually put a countdown clock on their TV screen as to when the deadline was, hoping that Donald Trump would end their civilization at the time that he promised. So, yeah, there they are, just like ringing in the new year, right? 8 hours, 58 seconds, 57. Israeli TV says power to the people is counting down to Trump's threatened genocide of the Iranian people and civilization. But, you know, they just have broad public concerns. They're acting in good faith. What about this? Remember this? This is when they announced the MoU. This is Israel Higham. This is Mira Madeleson's magazine, her newspaper. In Israel, they run this big op ed. You could have been the greatest president of all, but you failed, Mr. President. You have gravely harmed the human interests of the enlightened world, and you may be remembered forever as the president who brought about America's humiliation. You betrayed us, the Israelis. And in a single moment, the contempt you once faced suddenly seems so justified and logical. Wow. That's Miriam's newspaper. Yeah.

[Kurt]

Excuse me, young man. This isn't fresh. Yeah, waiting tables for the pushy, pushy lady. No tip at the end.

[Keaton]

You sat us too close to the window. You don't have a seat more inside.

[Kurt]

That wasn't a quality ham.

[Keaton]

Yeah, exactly. This was something. This was on Israeli TV when the MoU was announced. This was my favorite. This was my favorite. This guy floats. The Iranians are using a low frequency electromagnetic weapon to influence Trump's decisions. Let's take a look at this guy.

[Kurt]

Is it Ludnick saying we'll show the files?

[Keaton]

Yeah. Electromagnetic powers. The Russians have it, the Koreans have it, and the Iranians have it. I know it sounds like I took it from some fictional movie, but it's really what's happening on the job. They're working with this weapon, and in my Opinion they've. I don't exactly know. It could be that even in Russia, when he was in Russia. It's very easy. Even from the routines in Washington. Sorry, China. They hit him in China. They can see this weapon from the routines in Washington. Why don't you activate your telepathic weapon to rebalance. The request came from. We're working on it. Yeah.

[Kurt]

That's Yuri Geller, the famous spoon bender. Oh yeah, yeah, he's a scumbag. And him and James Randy, the other Mosad plant would do a little Punch and Judy skeptic versus believer act all these years.

[Keaton]

Wow.

[Kurt]

Yeah. They run both sides of everything these. So Yuri Geller. So you know Avi Loeb, the great Avi Loeb with the three eye atlas. Oh, go on your vacation now because we're not doing well.

[Cash Patel]

Asteroids.

[Kurt]

It gets here. So he trump just put him on the alien revealing the Aliens committee or whatever the. That guy is a direct descendant of Bham Tov, the founder of Haridi Judaism. And he's the guy from. It's like their DARPA in Israel. He's a Harvard professor, but he's some Israeli, you know, NSA guy or something.

[Keaton]

Right?

[Kurt]

Their version of darpa. So they've Geller all the UFO crap. You see that Stephen. What's his name with the bad skin doc who's always doing the. You know my team will tell you about these UFOs. We've had the Cape. You've seen him before, right? Stephen Greer. You see Stephen Greer.

[Keaton]

No, I mean not that maybe I have. I don't remember.

[Kurt]

He was the big disclosure guy with the bad skin. He's sponsored by Rockefeller. But all he's Baha', I, which is another Israeli cut out religion is Israel controls all that crap. Why do you think we get all this UFO crap now? Why Think Spielboy's got disclosure out?

[Keaton]

Yeah, there you go. It all comes together. Yeah, there you there. There you. There you have it. There you have it. I mean you know, maybe Donald Trump was the. Was the glue that. That sticks it all together here. Speaking of Donald Trump, this is him today threatening to restart the war. Restart the war. Which is weird because I thought that we were taking a break during the Ayatollah's funeral, but here he is making a deal.

[Donald Trump]

I don't know. We'll make either. Look, we're going to win one way or the other. We're either going to make a deal or we're going to finish the job. Okay. And it won't be tough to finish the job.

[Kurt]

What is that thing behind him?

[Donald Trump]

I'd rather make a deal because I don't want to affect 91 million people. We can knock down their bridges in one hour. We can knock out their energy supply. All of those big plants that they built, big, beautiful, modern plants. They had a lot of money. They don't have any money now. We haven't given them any money. But we can knock out their electricity and power generating plants. And I would say a small part of an afternoon, every plant will be gone. And they know that. They know that.

[Kurt]

Is that a reptilian behind him? Why does he have openly have reptilians behind him now?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Oh, who?

[Keaton]

The guy in the one time. The chick on her. Yeah.

[Kurt]

That creepy mummy behind him next to the other guy who looks like a creepy. Next. The other guy who looks like Rich Voss.

[Keaton]

Yeah. Foxes are in the henhouse. You could say so, yeah. No, you have to hold your breath that they're not going to murder the negotiators. You have Israeli tv, Israeli media egging him on every time he tries to make some kind of peace. Every time he tries to wiggle out of it. No, it doesn't seem like they're in the driver's seat at all. And he's, he's wanted to wiggle out of this since he got into it. The New York Times reported that his inner circle did not believe Netanyahu, and Netanyahu told him how easy it was going to be. And what we've seen at the Ayatollah's funeral is pretty much cold, hard proof that he was being lied to. It's not proof that we needed. It's, it's, it's what we knew, uh, would, uh, transpire all along. But it's just amazing how story after story after story can come out this time about the Israelis trying to kill the negotiating partners, how this state can still be treated as an ally. And then you see these people who come out here and act as if. Yeah, what they did to Gaza was terrible. But we still believe in a secure Israel because they're our, they're our important ally. How. How is this country an ally? By what definition is this country an ally of ours? It's amazing. It really is.

[Kurt]

Well, I guess that lady who is wearing a child's skin behind the press, you have to ask her.

[Keaton]

Got to ask her. She's got the answers.

[Keaton]

Welcome to the Jimmy Dore show, everybody. Keaton and Kurt here filling in for Jimmy while he is away. So the Iranian people are not overthrowing the government as was expected. I don't know how they got this wrong. I, I don't understand. Usually the foreign policy establishment is able to, you know, see into the future with, with impeccable accuracy. But aerial footage of the millions of mourners in the streets of Tehran for the Ayatollah's funeral. Went on for many, many miles. Here, Glenn Greenwald says Americans were told this is what Iranians would do to express gratitude to American and Israeli invaders for bombing them pour out on streets to welcome us as liberators. It usually doesn't turn out that way. Turns out most people don't like being

[Kurt]

bombed by foreigners, but that's a big thank you parade.

[Keaton]

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So Moshe Rosenstein, I wonder what side he's on. Like a, like a typical leftist who lives appealing to anecdotes and feels you, you end up with regarded takes like this. Right, Glenn? No one said there weren't tens of thousands of people on the side of oppressive regime. Now go speak to the millions without Internet. And Glenn corrects him. Not tens of thousands, millions. That's right. And don't believe Glenn Greenwald. Don't believe, don't believe the commie propagandists on social media. He cites NBC News. Iran mourns supreme leader for a second day as millions, yes, millions flood streets, some calling for revenge. Max Blumenthal, independent journalist, of course, friends of the Jimmy Dore Show. I've just visited the largest funeral in history where millions mourn Syed Al Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US Israeli coalition along with members of his family. It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like or what it means unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless and grow larger and more intense into the night. And there's one of the many photos that Max has posted there from that's

[Kurt]

the Jew, Max Blumenthal in there with all those anti Semites.

[Keaton]

That's right. That's right.

[Kurt]

I could put it into words. They think that we, this country, and they're not wrong, are bail worshiping, cannibal pedophiles. That's what's in all their hilarious AI slaps they made against America. So that's why there's this outpouring, you understand, this is. This must be the end of the world to them. You know, this must be like some kind of Lord of the Rings in their world because let's face it, that is what America is. And didn't even like this guy until he killed him. Weren't they almost sick of him till he killed him?

[Keaton]

I don't know because I only get my news from the people who said that the government would be overthrown by now. So I could not confirm nor deny

[Kurt]

that Jesse Waters man.

[Keaton]

But yeah, I'm a Jesse Waters man myself, myself. But I have been around long enough to remember when, you know, the Iraqis were supposed to greet us as liberators. And that ended up being a lot messier than the people who promised us that that was going to be over in six days, six weeks or perhaps six months. So Aria Yadigar says, don't believe me. Here's high quality aerial footage of Engelab Square and the Engelab street leading Azadi Square, literally packed with people, black and red. Even the side streets are filled with people. This is the biggest funeral ceremony ever. And then here is some Al Jazeera footage. Al Jazeera says this is the largest funeral procession in human history. That's Mario Nafal saying that with more than 10 million people estimated to have shown up in Tehran to pay respects for the late Supreme Leader, Iranian state media estimates more than 20 million people will participate in the ceremonies that will take place over multiple days in Iran and Iraq. The second biggest funeral procession in history occurred in 1989 where in Tehran, apparently over the death of Iran's first supreme Leader. Oh, so you mean you could have seen this coming? It's weird. See if you see I once again, I only get my news from Fox News. You know, I'm a big Fox News guy, so I didn't know that. But you'd think whoever puts the news out, whoever makes these predictions that may have been useful information to have before launching this war, that none of the other presidents were dumb enough to follow Israel into the fact that the previous record holder was Also Iran in response to the death of the first Supreme Leader.

[Kurt]

Well, not just that. The ayatollah. That hold the ayatollah in there because of us. So when they all. When you hear your Patrick Bet values talking about the Shah was good because they could wear mini skirts. The Right. That's the. The how you measure a society, how good it is is how short the skirts are. Great, great point, Patrick. Bed value. Valuable point.

[Keaton]

Not a lot of turnout for the shot, I guess.

[Kurt]

Yeah. We also installed the Ayatollah. That's morning Micah from the Morning Joe Show's dad is there. Big new Brzezinski and George H.W. bush in the CIA while Carter was in. Installed the Ayatollah. So they haven't had a leader like we've installed all their leaders since we overthrew that one. They haven't ever had just like, oh, let's just have our own thing. We've been interfering the entire time. Really quite amazing. And you're welcome.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Iran.

[Keaton]

Yeah, there you go. You're. Yeah, that's right. You're welcome. There's the crowd. There's some TV footage overhead. We've seen some footage already. Just a pretty endless scene.

[Kurt]

And I want to point out together, McGinnis, unlike here, Gavin, these people are against pedophile cannibalism. They actually look into it a little bit and get disturbed by it. And that's why there's millions of them in the streets, because they're being attacked by nations of pedophile cannibals.

[Keaton]

They certainly. They certainly have good turnout.

[Kurt]

Operation People aren't into it out there, like you think.

[Keaton]

Not into it. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's. Who. Who could have seen this coming. CNN is apparently on the ground there. They say they're the only American TV network that's actually on on the ground there. There are other journalists covering it and other outlets from around the world, but the public funeral procession for Iran's slain supreme leader is underway in Tehran today, and a CNN team is on the ground. So now we're going to see some of the mainstream media coverage.

[Kurt]

This should be good.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Historic moment that we're witnessing here in Tehran as scores of people have come out to commemorate Iran's late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of course, was killed in the US Israeli airstrike, along with several family members at the beginning of the US And Israel war against Iran. And as you can see on the ground here, there is a lot of sorrow, but there is also a lot of anger. The chance of death to America, we're hearing right now, and death to Israel have been going on almost non stop with people vowing revenge against the United States.

[Keaton]

Okay, so these were people who we said we were liberating who were gonna take our cue to rise up and overthrow the government. And now you're. Look at that.

[Kurt]

We stand for you.

[Keaton]

Look at that. Yeah, we. Yeah, I wish I had that. Wish I had that here. We don't have the. We don't have the technology.

[Kurt]

Is that a tribe over there?

[Keaton]

Yeah, right, exactly. Nick Cruz, who's going to be guesting on this show with Russell on Wednesday, by the way. MSNBC in full blown meltdown mode over the massive global support and attendance for the funeral of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Shit libs who believe the Iranian people despise their government is in absolute shambles.

[Kurt]

Yeah, right now we wish it was Bibi. We all wish it was Bibi, but he's got pictures of me in the folder. So we're gonna do any crazy thing that they want.

[Unidentified Guest/Reporter]

And the fact that they have the world's media, they're covering it on the ground and you know, we've talked about this before on your show, The Iranian regime is very well versed in using the foreign media for its propaganda purposes. I mean, we need to remember that this man that people are mourning is also responsible for tens of thousands. The deaths of tens of thousands keeps

[Kurt]

going up and tens of thousands that

[Unidentified Guest/Reporter]

his son, the now so called supreme leader is.

[Keaton]

No, first it was 4,000, then it was 10,000, it was 20,000 and 30,000, then 40,000. Then I heard somebody said, what, 55,000 people in the protests? Yeah, that, that, that number just keeps going up. And according to, you know, even, even Western media is printing, like I said on NBC News, millions, millions in the streets because they don't want to be bombed by other countries. Like, again, it's just extraordinary to live through this 20 years after the Iraq war when literally the exact same line of shit was said to sell that. Oh, don't worry, they're going to love us. They're going to love us for doing a shock and awe campaign against them. They're going to take our lead, they're going to follow our lead. Yeah, they're going to do what we want them to do. That, that's, that's what they're going to do. They're going to do exactly what we tell them to do as we bomb.

[Kurt]

Sam Harris said it.

[Keaton]

Sky. Yeah.

[Kurt]

Sam Harris says counterintuitive but it's probably a really good idea. And honestly, he's a really smart guy. Neuroscience or some. Some kind of brain thing.

[Keaton]

He is a very smart guy. And he. He doesn't believe in free will. So according to him, this was going to happen anyway, no matter what.

[Kurt]

Yeah, I'm not real clear on his free will thing. It's. It's almost incomprehensible.

[Keaton]

Yeah, I don't understand that. It sounds like total to me.

[Kurt]

I was never going to be able to understand it.

[Keaton]

Yeah, no, I was never. Yeah, exactly. I never had a choice in the matter. I was destined to not be able to know what the. You're talking about when you say people don't have free will. You know, I don't understand it, but it's not my fault. It was meant to be. It was meant to be. It was just in the cards, you know, from day one.

[Kurt]

Yeah, well, that's why some people got to blow up. And that's why I buy Sam Harris atheist meditation.

[Keaton]

Yeah. I was always gonna be born to the creator of Golden Girls and never have to earn a dollar in my can. Just meditate for weeks on end without talking and then just act like I know what I'm talking about. And there'll never be any consequence for that because it was preordained, that Hollywood royalty. That's right.

[Kurt]

That's right.

[Keaton]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

No need to rush. We're all going to the same place and we can't help any part of it. It's real slow.

[Keaton]

We need to nuke her on the usual suspects. Don't. Don't believe me when I. When I say this. Suspects insist that I'm full of garbage.

[Kurt]

But I think some people should be put in camps, you know?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

And if Hunter Biden had kids tied up in his basement, that would be literally okay with me. That's the thing that I really sent.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah, exactly.

[Unidentified Guest/Reporter]

But he hasn't even been heard or heard from, rather. We haven't heard his voice. Okay. So if he is injured, severely injured, and they don't want us to see him, we haven't even heard his voice. So there has. We've talked about this. Again, there's all questions as to whether or not he's even alive or at best, in a coma. Now, what I have found interesting in my reporting is I've been speaking to sources inside Tehran, and I spoke to a man who I've been in touch with for some time, about a decade, has kind of wobbled between supporting the regime and then being very Anti regime last year was upset at Trump for not, quote, unquote, finishing the job during the 12 day war in June. I asked him, I said, are you going to Khamenei's funeral? And he said, I might go to the funeral tomorrow. I haven't decided yet. And I asked, I'm curious why people are going to the funeral if they don't like the regime. And he said, I guess. But for me, everything changed when Trump killed kids in Manob and said that his goal was to end Iranian civilization.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Unidentified Guest/Reporter]

Oh, you think that we're not human to him?

[Keaton]

Oh, you mean, like, really? That changed some people's mind? And first of all, I think she's full of shit. Like, I don't believe her.

[Kurt]

The CEO of Helmets to Heels, you think is lying?

[Keaton]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kurt]

Oh, CEO Keaton, how could you be a liar?

[Keaton]

I know, I know. How do you. How do you make it that far?

[Kurt]

What? And then he was like, no. Yeah. And I go, are you sure?

[Keaton]

No, I. I don't believe her when she acts as if there's a sizable contingent of, you know, anti IRGC members there or an anti, uh, government faction at the funeral. Sorry, I know that.

[Kurt]

Well, can I just tell you her background because maybe you trust her more if you kn h2h. Helmet to heels is a social impact media brand and substack platform founded by Iranian American journalist Suzanne Keanpour. It blends serious global news and geopolitics with fashion, travel and lifestyle elements into a stylish, accessible format. Helmet. What the.

[Keaton]

Well, she has a sub stack. That settles it. I stand corrected.

[Kurt]

The tagline vibe is essentially monitor the situation in style.

[Keaton]

There you go.

[Kurt]

Wow. Good. Good thing you're talking to her. Cnn. It's definitely worth it.

[Keaton]

Yeah, well, I mean, so the. The whole claim that there's a large anti government faction there seems kind of absurd on its face, but to the extent that it could be true. Yeah, I think that that wins the no shit award of the evening when she's like, yeah, when you blow up a school, that kind of radicalizes people in the other direction. Yeah, yeah, no, I. I'm not. You know, I. I don't think you need that resume of yours to come to that realization, but there she is. President Trump told Axios is from drop site US Iran. Negotiations are paused until the funeral ceremonies for the late Iranian Supreme Leader conclude on July 9, saying both sides agreed to take a week off and that neither side will shoot at the other during that time. Referring to scenes of mourning. See scenes from Tehran Below, Trump said he was surprised to see Iranians crying because he thought people hated Ali Khamenei, adding, maybe it's fake tears.

[Kurt]

They're all alive. Maybe they're crying. I thought they were tears of joy because I was going to destroy their fucking civilization. Civilization. Do you think they took that wrong?

[Keaton]

Yeah, they may have taken that the wrong way. But he also said they are all there, one shot and we can take them all out, but we're not going to do that because then we would have nobody to negotiate with. Now where could he have gotten that idea that, hmm, all these Iranian civilians in one place at the same time? Well, Mark Levin tweets out on July 4th. So this is two days ago. Cuz this has been, you know, a few days here. They've been gathering in the streets. Yesterday, the enemy gathered en masse, all in one place. Opportunity lost. Wow. Just, just openly egging on the mass murder of civilians.

[Kurt]

So the enemy being the civilian population. Millions of civilians, of course.

[Keaton]

Of course. That's, that's how the Israel Firsters roll that, that's how they fight. So here's Sky News reporting. Hundreds of thousands of Iranians turn out for the funeral procession of the late Supreme Leader. Some more mainstream coverage from across the pond.

[Kurt]

Extraordinary scenes in Tehran as the funeral

[Keaton]

cortege of Ali Khamenei goes past us along a 20 kilometer procession through the heart of the Iranian capital. We are some way from its final end, which is the Mesadi Square down the road there.

[Kurt]

But as you can see from here, hundreds of thousands of Iranians out on the streets.

[Keaton]

Iranian government has promised the biggest funeral

[Jimmy Dore]

of modern times, saying 50 million people

[Keaton]

will come out on the streets.

[Kurt]

And from what we can see here, certainly hundreds of thousands have answered that call.

[Keaton]

Now I want you to contrast all of this reporting and you know, it kind of combines some independent accounts with some more mainstream accounts because I just have to contrast this reporting from, with what we were told was going to happen. So remember this, remember this. The 3am Wake up call that we all got. And Donald Trump in the baseball hat announced that were going in to Iran and calls on the Iranians to step up. Yeah, here he is. Here he is saying, hey, now's your moment, don't miss it.

[Donald Trump]

Great proud people of Iran. I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered, don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will be probably your only chance Generation.

[Keaton]

What happened? What happened?

[Donald Trump]

Many years you have asked for America's help, but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight.

[Keaton]

Just admitting what an idiot you are. Just. I mean, it's not just a matter of being an idiot. It's a matter of being compromised, which is my theory. And a widespread theory that he was the only one as under Israel's thumb as he was. John kiriakou said every time the Israelis came to Washington, they would ask whoever was president to invade Iran for them. And every other president said no, except this one. And here he is bragging.

[Kurt]

I'll bet you he knows. Yeah, I bet you he's not a. He did something bad and they hold it over him because just before he was president, he said all the smart things that the other idiots who didn't fall for this wouldn't say.

[Keaton]

So.

[Kurt]

No, that's on purpose. Clearly he's been blackmailed. I don't know how anybody could even think it's in doubt after the Epstein file debacle and then this.

[Keaton]

Yeah, well, I mean. And here he is essentially bragging about that. He's saying no other president did what I'm going to do for you. America's help, which is bomb.

[Donald Trump]

You never got it.

[Keaton]

You have an else for our help.

[Donald Trump]

Is willing to do what I am willing to do tonight. Now you have a president who is giving you what you want. So what you want.

[Keaton]

That's what they wanted. Does it look like they wanted that

[Donald Trump]

is backing you with overwhelming strength and devastating force.

[Keaton]

Oh, yeah.

[Donald Trump]

Now is the time to seize control of your destiny and to unleash the prosperous and glorious future that is close within your reach.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Donald Trump]

This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.

[Kurt]

Yeah. I'm speaking to the rich ones, the rich expats who DJ at my kids events. Those iranians.

[Keaton]

Do not let it pass. Well, they seem to have let that moment pass. They seem to have missed their big opportunity that you so graciously handed them. Yeah. Yeah, the moment seems. Seems to. To have passed. It's. It's. It's really extraordinary to. To see. You know, it's. It's a. It's something that you kind of dreaded for the last 20 years, but you kind of didn't think it could actually happen. It's like. It's like one of those things where you're like, yeah, this looks like it's. It's gonna happen at some point, but you're still shocked when it does. And the reason it's still shocking is because you saw the exact line of propaganda deployed to trick these idiots into supporting the Iraq war. Now, at the time, that worked on 70% of the population. This time, it only worked on 30% of the population. But guess what? The lame duck president, in for one term and out. So fuck you. What are you gonna do about it? What Bibi wants, BB gets. And this is the result, much the apparent surprise of the foreign policy establishment, who insisted that the Iranians were just waiting, just waiting for us to give them the opportunity to overthrow the government. Cut to tens of millions of people rallying around their government, which is still in place, by the way. Now, Trump is trying to cope and say that we've done kind of regime change since now we have the sun. We know what that is.

[Kurt]

Like how we did with Maduro. And there's the same. The same mug communist government still in charge. Yeah, and Iranian. But these ones are nicer ones. And maybe we'll talk to them. Unless Bibi says no and blows them up first, which is what will happen.

[Keaton]

Yeah. Wow. They just had a thing. They just. Apparently Jimmy did a story because we were going to do it today, but apparently Jimmy did it last week about, you know, the new Venezuelan government sort of cooperating with Israel. More. Yeah, they're getting their way. Yep.

[Kurt]

Yeah. Obviously, I can't even believe, first of all, all this news. This is the worst part of my day, is when I go talk to people that I know that are morons and don't know, someone's gonna say to me, no, the Iranian people wanted to do it. No, someone's gonna still say it to me, yeah.

[Keaton]

47 years, this should have happened. All of a sudden, they all know the number 47 years. All of a sudden, they all know that. And they don't just mean rich bars.

[Kurt]

Boss is excused because he's hilarious. He can't spell. So it's really funny that he supports Israel this hard and I want him to continue doing it.

[Keaton]

No, it's. It's amazing how that mass propaganda works. Like, nobody thinks it's weird that they all learn the same thing at the same time. Like, you don't think it's weird that all your friends know to say 47 years at the exact same time? That doesn't. That doesn't strike you as a little suspicious? Like maybe you're being manipulated into something that's against.

[Kurt]

Not since a supposed Christian told me that Candace Owens weaponized saying crisis king against Ben Shapiro have I heard such absolute deranged nonsense Right. With a straight face. Someone said this to me, actually, two people. What are you talking about? You know, that's why they killed him for saying he was the king. I don't know if you remember. I guess it is weaponized. The are you talking about?

[Jimmy Dore]

We have special guests with us. Nicholas Holscher, epidemiologist, administrator at the McCullough Foundation. He's here to talk about the latest study on sunscreen. Hi, Nicholas. How are you?

[Nicholas Holscher]

I'm great. Thanks for having me.

[Jimmy Dore]

Now, we've covered this story before. Using our source was a Midwestern doctor Substack. And he did a deep dive and found out that the people who were exposed the most to sun got the least amount of the deadly kind of sun cancer, or skin cancer, which is melanoma. That's the deadliest form. And it turns out that the parts of their skin that didn't get sun was where that kind of cancer showed up. And they've known this for a long time. They've done studies where they've. They've looked at office workers and people who worked outside. And it seems like the more sun you get, the more of kind of a resistance you get to the deadly kind of skin cancer. So I just want to play this. This is. This was you talking to our good friend Matthew Gates.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Have I been lied to as a

[Keaton]

Florida man about sunscreen protecting me from cancer?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yes, it appears we've all been lied to. Unfortunately, this massive study of over 470,000 people confirms it. It's very worrisome that when they compared sunscreen users to non sunscreen users, the sunscreen users faced increased risk of. Of all the major skin cancers, melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. So all of these cancers were up. But the most worrisome finding was that invasive melanoma was 300% higher risk in the sunscreen users. They accounted for skin color, time spent outdoors, and many other things, sex, age. And they still found these increased risks of the cancers. When you use sunscreen all the time, you're blocking your body's ability to synthesize vitamin D, which is critical for cancer defense. So you do not want to shut that off. A JAMA study just came out and found all those active ingredients in the sunscreens get into your circulation. They get into your body above FDA regulatory limits. So what I would say is avoid sunscreens if you really have to use it. If you'll be out in the sun for six hours, mid summer day, you. You still want to use something, I would use zinc based sunscreen, not oxybenzone. None of those hormone disrupting chemicals have

[Jimmy Dore]

I been so this. So tell me about the latest study. Tell me about. So, because there was all. There's been studies out there that we covered. Tell me about the most recent one.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Well, that, that would be the most recent one. But I think what's important to talk about is the one before that. And then. So what led up to this latest one? So before that, the Backstory is, in 2018, a meta analysis was published. A meta analysis is literally a combination of every single study ever done on a topic. So they did a meta analysis on the risk, the risk of skin cancer with sunscreen use compared to no sunscreen use. There was 30 studies. So all 30 of these studies since the 1980s was in this meta analysis. When they combined all this 30 studies combined over the 40 years, the odds ratio of getting skin cancer when using sunscreen was over 1. So what that means is all the evidence of the past 50 years shows that, yeah, you are. There is technically a higher risk of getting skin cancer when using sunscreen. Now it was only 8% and technically it wasn't statistically significant. So now we get to the important part. Over those 40 years, there was 370,000 people. Then we got to this next study in 2023 that had 470,000 people bigger, larger than the 30 studies combined previously. And so the latest study found sunscreen users had increased risks of every single type of skin cancer, including invasive melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma. But the invasive melanoma was 300% higher in the sunscreen users, higher than all the other cancers and particularly what this study did. So not only was it the largest, but they accounted for all the major skin cancer risk factors as the confounding variable. So they were able to isolate the effect of the sunscreen use. So they accounted for time spent outdoors, sunburn history, skin color, age, gender, literally everything. And so that's the state of the epidemiological evidence that, yeah, you use sunscreen, you're at an increased risk of skin cancer.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I saw when you posted this. So there's a lot, there was a lot of pushback, obviously. So people don't realize that doctors, maybe they do now because of COVID are just as easily bought off and corrupted as their used car salesmen. And in fact, you don't, you don't be. You don't become a doctor because you oppose what's in the medical books or the medical dogma, you get to become a doctor because you go along with it. And they weed out the, the, the, the people who are rebels. But I, I wanted to. So this is what, I'm just going to give an example of the kind of pushback. So this guy asks Gemini, so it asked AI and he says, no, this is completely false. Meaning what? Everything you just said. This claim is a classic piece of online misinformation that heavily distorts how scientific data works. There is no legitimate scientific study showing that sunscreen inherently causes or increases your risk of skin cancer. Now, that's not true.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Is, that's not true. Literally, again, all 30 studies combined in the past 40 years shows actually the risk is increased. I mean, so these individuals, I don't know, they just conflate, they basically make stuff up because they don't want to believe it's true, unfortunately. So what they'll say is, oh, it's just association and it's the sunscreen paradox, where sunscreen users just go out in the sun more. But that doesn't explain why the study that accounted for going out in the sun more still found the increased risks in cancers.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, here's exactly what you're talking about. They claim it's a paradox, right? So here's what he says. The sunscreen paradox. Why the numbers are skewed. When researchers look at large observational population data like the UK Biobank studies, they sometimes find that people who report using sunscreen also have higher rates of skin cancer. However, sunscreen isn't causing the cancer. Who uses sunscreen the most? People who have pale skin, burn easily, have a family history of skin cancer, or plan to spend hours out baking on the beach. These individuals already have a massively elevated baseline risk for skin cancer. So what I, what I said back to that was many. So the research indicates that there's widespread sunscreen use, has not reduced skin cancer rates and in some cases increases it. Like that study in the UK of over 470,000 people. It's, it's, this is from the Midwestern Dr. It's worth pausing on how the 2023 studies authors handled their own results. Having found that frequent sunscreen use tracked with more skin cancer, they did not consider that their model might be wrong. Instead, they labeled it a paradox, proposed that sunscreen users must be getting more sun or not applying enough or buying sunscreen after their diagnosis, and then concluded that the data demonstrates the importance of adequate and frequent sunscreen. So they went exactly against the data that Their own study produced. And he says this is the same reflex behind the French paradox, the puzzle of why the French have less heart disease despite eating more saturated fat, which was only ever a paradox if you assume saturated fat caused heart disease to begin with. An assumption resting on a far shakier foundation than the public was led to believe, as covered in an article on the manufactured war on cholesterol alcohol that was used to push toxic and ineffective but lucrative statins upon everyone. So what he's basically saying is that they. Even though their own study revealed exactly what you're saying, they just said, oh, no, it's just wrong. Even though that's the. That study you're quoting, it actually accounted for all these factors. Correct?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah, correct. It literally accounted for all of those factors mentioned. And when there's basically arguments over these population level estimates, that's when, like you did, we have to look into the biological plausibility. And there's lots of biological plausibility behind sunscreens causing cancer. The first one is that a recent analysis of like hundreds of sunscreen products found that 27% of them are contaminated with. With benzene, a known human carcinogen. And so now that we have a JAMA study showing that sunscreen ingredients are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream upon topical administration, that means the benzene is rapidly absorbed into the deep, into the skin. And so you literally are slathering carcinogens over yourself while at the same time blocking vitamin D production, which is literally critical for cancer defense.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's. So I. You run into this stuff all the time when you post stuff that is heterodox to the line on sunscreen or anything medical. Right. That saturated fat causes a heart disease or sun. Sun is bad for you. And so you get these doctors who. I don't know where they got their degrees, but this isn't one of them. This guy, Yannick Buchella, M.D. he says there is no evidence sunscreen causes cancer. None. Of course, we just told you about all the studies that say exactly that. The link between unprotected sun exposure and skin cancer, all types, is one of the most well established findings in oncology. Well, I would say it's one of the most well established narratives in oncology, not actually a finding. Would you agree with that?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah, I agree with that. Exactly. You know, it's the same kind of dogma with everything we've heard of. They just say, oh, it's the most well established. And it's not. It's just like you said, the most well established narrative that's been perpetuated for many decades. And so those who have clung onto that for 30 years of their professional life, they don't want to let go of it and they will cling to the old narrative for as long as they can. But you cannot dispute slathering carcinogens on yourself as not possibly causing skin cancer. So they, you know, they don't even look at any of these possible scenarios.

[Jimmy Dore]

And it's not only the cancer causing chemicals that are in the sunscreen. It's, that is, correct me if I'm wrong on this, do some of the chemicals kind of transmute into cancer? So they're not originally cancer causing, but over time or when you put them on your skin and you add sun, it then kind of transmutes them into some kind of cancer causing chemical. Or am I wrong about that?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Well, that's possible. But so we'll start so starting with benzene that's not supposed to be in there. It's just usually gets there from some contamination during manufacturing. But again, it's in like one in four sunscreens. The other things, the primary active ingredients in many sunscreens are Oxybenzone and avobenzone. These are potent hormone disrupting chemicals that are highly toxic to human cells. And so that just simply in and of itself disrupting your hormones and throwing your body out of homeostasis will promote cancer growth. And again, those are literally the primary ingredients, avobenzone and oxybenzone in many of these sunscreens.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so it messes with your normal biology and chemistry in your body, throws off your hormones, making you more likely to get cancer.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah, exactly, exactly.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so I posted this after that doctor posted his study and I said, honestly, I feel bad for the people who go for your med. And this is right from Live Science. Cancer causing chemical found in 78 sunscreen products. That's, that's not disputed by the way. That's. So the independent lab that made the finding is calling on the FDA to recall these sunscreen products and that this is the kind of, this is the kind of pushback you get. This guy says for people are going to believe this. The chemical in question is benzene. Over 70% of sunscreen tested in this study didn't have benzene. I said, cool, so you're saying just 30% of the sunscreen causes cancer? Not sure that's the own you think it is. So I mean it's just, that's just. And so let me just give you a little couple more facts. I say I'm citing myriad studies contained in Midwestern Dr. Substack where he cited common toxic chemicals using UV filters and many sunscreens that face scrutiny for potential carcinogens. Toxicity absorption into the bloodstream and doctrine disruption which is what you were just talking about. Skin allergies and environmental harm. Like you can't even wear sunscreen in the ocean when you go swimming in Hawaii because it kills the coral reef. If it kills the coral reef, imagine what it's doing to you after it's already diluted in the seawater. It'll still kill the coral reef. You're putting it right into your bloodstream. And here's some of those chemicals. Oxybenzone, most frequently cited as concerning. It absorbs readily through the skin, acts as a potential indoctrinated hormone disruptor and has been linked in studies to reproductive issues, allergies, coral bleaching. FDA studies show bloodstream absorption. It's banned in places like Hawaii under oxy. How do you say that?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Oh boy, it doesn't matter.

[Jimmy Dore]

Strong evidence of indoctrin disruption. Also absorbed systemically and environmentally harmful to reefs, homosalate potential hormone disruption. So this is all the stuff that's in sunscreen. Here's some more. Avobenzone, some evidence of indoctrination effects and absorption can deregulate and produce byproducts. And then octocrylene absorbed systemically linked to allergies and potential degradation into benzophenone, a suspected carcinogen. So it then degrades into a different type of chemical that is a suspected carcinogen. And then octisalate absorbed through the weak with weaker evidence of other harm. So, so it's always amazing to me. So we all know, I don't know if you're aware of this but when I did my deep dive into sunscreen that in the 80s dermatology was on the lowest rung of the specialist MD ladder. And so they actually this the dermatology association hooked up with Madison Avenue advertising and they advise them to conflate deadly skin cancer like melanoma with the not deadly skin cancer basal cell carcinoma. By the way the, the survival rate of basal cell carcinoma after five years, 100% just to let you know. So they conflated those and they just call it under one umbrella sun skin cancer. So now people are afraid of the non deadly lethal skin cancer basal cell as much as they are afraid of melanoma. Because the Dermatology association wanted people to conflate those so then they could get more money doing Mohs surgery, which is how you get rid of basal cell. And in fact, they would even do Mohs surgery on. They would go into retirement centers and nursing homes and do Mohs surgeries on people who are about to die. So that's about. It's just a big money maker for the dermatology profession. Are you aware of any of that?

[Nicholas Holscher]

Yeah, it sounds about right. It sounds very accurate, unfortunately. And so. Yeah, so what? So they're going to the nursing homes and cutting moles off of people on their deathbeds. Yes, that's. That's quite shocking. Yes, quite disappointing. And you know, many. So those the same individuals slathering sunscreen all over themselves are probably in support of that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

[Cash Patel]

Updates. Cash Patel.

[Jimmy Dore]

Director Patel. What a pleasure. How are you?

[Cash Patel]

Dude, I'm doing so tight right now. No cap. Dude, my ish is straight up on cruise control. You know that feeling, hombre. All cylinders on fire. The entire citron block job stuff is legit. Clutch. Right now I've got a hottest balls girlfriend who's a country music legend. Has a voice like Majestic Parakeet. I guess. I don't know. I've never heard her sing sober. I finally caught you before vacation, dude. I get to talk to my homie one last time.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to taking some time off. Some. Some deserved R and R, you know.

[Cash Patel]

Oh, for sure, dude. For sure. I bet you let loose like a motherfucker. I love it, dude. Love it. You got some big plans for the 4th? America's big 250.

[Jimmy Dore]

We might. We'll see. I'm doing a set at the Improv, but how about you?

[Cash Patel]

Oh, dude, you haven't heard of the legendary annual fourth of July Cash Bash Celebration of America?

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Cash Patel]

Come on, man. Literally impossible. Like the biggest DC event, like ever. It started in law school and every year just gets bigger and clutcher. Yeah, this year it's going to be fucking epic. Dude. Dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh yeah.

[Cash Patel]

Oh yeah. Trust. Throughout the day, we're expecting a buck. Buck 50. Mainly work friends, but some college buds too. Two grills running constantly. Meat only, no veggie burgers, three kegs, all American beer. Full bar. 20 pounds of Maryland crab trucked up from Annapolis. We are not around, dude. Full view of fireworks over the Potomac. Three flat screens running. One showing Mel Gibson's the Patriot. The other two porn. One softcore, one hardcore. A mechanical bull. A little circus poodle who can run around on an inflatable ball in a tutu ketamine, the works, dude.

[Nicholas Holscher]

I mean, wow.

[Jimmy Dore]

It sounds like quite a party, pal.

[Cash Patel]

I just love America, dude. I love her getting emotional right now thinking about it. Trust.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, okay.

[Cash Patel]

But then the best part, after the fireworks are over and the nice people leave, we say it. We let the dishes soak in the sink and then we head to the after party.

[Jimmy Dore]

After party?

[Cash Patel]

Oh, hell yeah, dude. This one guy that Randy and them know has a place down by the dockyards that's on the water and we just go fucking nuts, dude. We get coked up at Roman candle fights, there's always at least two strippers. We do jello shots and use our FBI clearances to swat democrat members of congress. Just full on ape shit.

[Jimmy Dore]

Sounds like quite something.

[Cash Patel]

Oh, you know it, dude. My party is about loving America. The after party is about wanting to fuck America on the floor of a gas station bathroom. Oh my God,

[Jimmy Dore]

I see.

[Cash Patel]

You should come, dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

No,

[Cash Patel]

Suit yourself, brohim. This year is going to be particularly lit with all the law enforcement who will be in attendance. SCOTUS has made it so there will be new laws to enforce, which is what we crave, dog.

[Nicholas Holscher]

Oh really?

[Cash Patel]

Oh yeah, dude. They just upheld laws to ban males competing with females in like team sports for schools. So it's fucking game on with that shit, dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wait, what do you mean?

[Cash Patel]

The FBI will be on the ground floor policing that shit. You got a dick and balls, get on the fuck off the soccer field, Glenda. Simple as that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Is that really a judicious allocation of federal resources?

[Cash Patel]

No, dude, honestly, that sounds like an insistent principal's job. But quite frankly, after all our fuckups, the FBI needs a PR boost like a motherfucker right about now. Transport shit has proven so insanely unpopular with most people on both sides that inserting ourselves into the situation can only make us look good. We'd be like gender saviors.

[Jimmy Dore]

With all due respect, Cash, I'm not sure this is a situation that needs a savior. Maybe more like a readjustment.

[Cash Patel]

Saviors are rarely requested. Usually they are announced and foisted upon people. Good law abiding citizens don't know that they need gender saviors. We are here to inform them. Never fear, good people. Here come the FBI to make sure that your fifth grade daughter will never be a second place Sally ever again. Finally, we will literally be the FBI female body inspectors.

[Jimmy Dore]

Good lord.

[Cash Patel]

Honestly, it works out great because every year on the 4th we've been doing genital inspections at that after party I was telling you about. In fact, that one guy that Randy and them know adamantly insists on it. Kind of weird, for sure, but we're so faded by the time we get there, no one gives a.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right then.

[Cash Patel]

Okay. We fit. TMI like clockwork. Should let you go, dog. Have a great summer, dude, you sure you don't want to come to either party? Open invite?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, pretty sure, but thank you.

[Cash Patel]

Burgers and beers. Love in America. Girlfriend singing songs that people are forced to listen to. Little circus poodle? No. All right, dude. Right on. Between you and me, if like five people show up, I'd be fucking thrilled, dude. You know anyone in dc, just tell them, you know, free food it. Free booze. Clutch, dude.
