Max Blumenthal : Trump’s Deranged UN Threats
Summary
Judge Napolitano and Max Blumenthal analyze Donald Trump’s United Nations speech, criticizing its lies regarding the US economy and fabricated claims about Iran. They discuss Iranian President Pezeshkian’s defiant address exposing Israeli nuclear double standards and the US aerial siege. The episode also covers Delcy Rodríguez’s capitulation to US demands in Venezuela and Tony Blair’s controversial "Board of Peace" plan for Gaza, which they argue serves corporate interests rather than humanitarian needs.
