Jared Kushner, CIA Coups & the Bananas Reason We’re at War with Iran: Amanda with Jeremy Scahill

We’re told this is about bad guys, nuclear threats, and national security.

History—and this moment—tell a different story.

In this You’re Not Gonna Believe This Bullshit episode, Amanda traces America’s regime change playbook—then sits down with investigative journalist, co-founder of Drop Site News, Jeremy Scahill to break down what's really driving the current wars in Iran and Gaza.

- Trump launching strikes on Iran amid disputed “nuclear threat” claims

- The coordination of war decisions with Netanyahu—and why that matters

- Kushner’s role in Gaza reconstruction plans that look a lot like real estate development

- “Negotiations” with Iran happening alongside military escalation

- The long history of regime change—and who actually benefits

If it feels chaotic, it’s not. It’s a pattern.
