Podcasts about Scott Ritter

On February 28, 2026, the United States and Israel launched an illegal attack on Iran that has ignited the Gulf Region and sent ripples throughout the world. Clearing the FOG speaks with military analyst Scott Ritter who argues that the US and Israel lost the war on the first day by targeting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and by throwing the rules of engagement out the window, as evidenced by the double bombing of a girl's school in Minab. Ritter explains that Pete Hegseth and others are guilty of war crimes. He describes the region as being at an existential crossroads that could weaken Israel and strengthen Iran in the end.

Jimmy and former weapons inspector and geopolitical analyst Scott Ritter break down the stunning geopolitical shift underway that finds a desperate Donald Trump, facing strategic defeat in Iran, lifting all sanctions on Russian oil and begging Russian president Vladimir Putin for help—with Kremlin economic envoy Kirill Dmitriev now meeting U.S. negotiator Steve Witkoff in Miami to broker the bargain.  Ritter tells Jimmy that Russia holds all the cards: with the Strait of Hormuz closed, global energy markets are collapsing, and only Russia can supply oil to Asia and Europe, solving its economic problems overnight while the U.S. runs out of missiles and faces economic catastrophe.  The potential deal would see America withdraw from the Middle East, lift sanctions on Iran, and constrain Israel—allowing Trump to claim "peacemaker" cover for a humiliating retreat. Ritter concludes this is 100% happening because the U.S. has no other option, and the only question is whether Israel can be stopped from destroying regional energy infrastructure entirely. Plus segments on Iran's ingenious low-tech approach to avoiding Israeli rocket interceptors, the serious privacy concerns surrounding Meta's new AI glasses and Israel's false flag attack to lure Turkey and the EU into the war on Iran. Also featuring Rick Overton, Kurt Metzger and Stef Zamorano!

During a recent broadcast, former MAGA stalwarts Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes expressed a sense of betrayal over Donald Trump's response to the Epstein files and his foreign policy, particularly claiming Trump is an "errand boy for Israel" and that he has abandoned his America First mandate. Jimmy is highly critical of Fuentes, accusing him of being disingenuous while Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger suggests his sudden anti-Trump stance is a calculated "scam" or dialectic operation to funnel frustrated supporters back to the Democratic Party.  Jimmy says that Fuentes' solution—voting for Democrats—is absurd given the Dems' record on wars and censorship, and he dismisses the duo's outrage as a performative credibility play. Ultimately, the entire exchange is framed as manufactured and designed to manipulate and dissipate genuine populist anger. Plus segments on former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett's threat to take out Turkey next, TPUSA being caught lying about Charlie Kirk's position on an Iran war and the global economic impact of Iran closing the Strait of Hormuz to oil tankers. Also featuring Scott Ritter, Max Blumenthal and Stef Zamorano!

Jimmy Dore and The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal respond to Steve Bannon's claim that Trump has rejected a large-scale bombing campaign on Iran and that the Iranian government is supposedly on the verge of collapse. Max argues that the opposite is true, saying sanctions have failed to topple the state, pro-government rallies are massive, and a U.S. or Israeli attack would likely unify the population around the government.  Max warns that Israel and hawkish U.S. politicians like Lindsey Graham are still pressuring Trump to escalate and draw the U.S. into a long regional war, and could succeed in those efforts. The two conclude by pointing out that regime-change fantasies ignore Iran's history, political base, and the catastrophic outcomes of similar interventions in Iraq and Syria. Plus segments on Lindsey Graham's sadness over the lack of bombing of Iran, Trump critic Scott Ritter being debanked and an unhinged BBC talking head's theory about Iran controlling Trump. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from George Clooney!
