Episode The Real Reason U.S. Wants To Crush Cuba! w/ Christian Parenti
In this interview segment, investigative journalist Christian Parenti tells Jimmy that modern U.S. policy toward Cuba is driven less by opposition to socialism and more by Cuba's continued sovereignty and symbolic resistance to American influence, despite decades of economic liberalization. He discusses how Cuba has increasingly embraced private enterprise while U.S. sanctions and embargoes continue to intensify, limiting investment and contributing to severe economic hardship.
The conversation also explores Cuba's historical conflicts with the CIA, including intelligence operations, the Bay of Pigs, and Cold War-era tensions, as factors shaping current U.S. policy. The interview concludes with a discussion of whether normalized relations are possible, the risks of escalating conflict, and broader questions about U.S. foreign policy and intelligence operations.
Plus segments on Tucker Carlson going HAM on the COVID vaccine and actress Mayim Bialik's crashout after seeing a pro-Palestinian t-shirt.
Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!
