When a Useful Idiot goes on Piers Morgan Uncensored, the world stops to watch. But, as was the case with Aaron’s first three appearances as well as Katie’s clash with Alan Dershowitz, the other guests on the panel don’t ever seem to stop talking. From ad-hominem smears to ridiculous Zionist talking points, the opposing debaters have talked, whined, and yelled over Aaron and Katie in an effort to block their message.

But this week, there was an unprecedented silence during Aaron’s fourth time on Uncensored. Jonathan Conricus, former IDF spokesperson and recurring offender of the shouting strategy, sat wordlessly while Aaron dropped facts on Palestine and Syria, marking a rare moment on establishment TV where Israeli and Western messaging is actually checked.

We break down some of Aaron’s top arguments in this week’s Thursday Throwdown.

Plus: News Nation tries to make the argument that it isn’t Luigi Mangione but Brian Thompson (United Healthcare CEO) who is actually the ‘everyman’ the working class should be celebrating, the State Department admits that the US’s $10 million terrorist bounty on Mohammad al-Julani (HTS leader who founded al-Qaeda in Syria) is still active even as Western leaders are meeting with him to celebrate his rise, and Jake Tapper airs a new interview in which he fawns over Mitt Romney.

It’s a wild episode of Thursday Throwdown – watch with Katie and Aaron so you can laugh instead of cry at it all. Thanks for supporting independent media, subscribe to watch the full episode here:
