Show's description given by the show:

> “Boys go to Baghdad, but real men go to Tehran” was a joke in neocon
> circles during the Bush administration. We think it's a glimpse of how
> duplicitous U.S. foreign policy is. Here we counter the type of
> propaganda that justified the invasion of Iraq, and continues to justify
> bitch-ass policy against Iran and countless other nations today.

Greg Palast on correcting US media coverage of Venezuelan coup including 
claims that the support for the coup is correlated with racism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeNCbXVHrR8 -- According to Palast, skin 
color (race) is a significant factor in the US-led Venezuelan coup:

At 6m33s in Jimmy Dore's interview of Greg Palast, Palast said:

> Greg Palast [...] And who is this guy, Juan Guaidó, by the way, that
> Trump has said is recognized as president, that declared himself
> President -- just so you know, he's not someone who said 'The election
> was stolen from me'. He literally never ran for president. He's this
> 35-year-old white guy and that's really at the heart -- that's the other
> thing that Trump likes: he speaks good English, he hung out with the
> right-wing think tanks in Washington, went to George Washington
> University, he's a rich guy, he's a white guy, and that's really, really
> important in a black nation. In a mestizo -- a nation which is made up
> of about 70% mestizos, that is people, as Chavez told me, a combination
> of "negro y indio" as he said "black and indigenous". That's the
> majority of people in Venezuela. But they're finding a white guy to run
> it.
> 
> Jimmy Dore: And just a second, before we get to that because that's a 
> very interesting twist that no one else is reporting except you, and
> now we will also be reporting that. And so that's, again, very easy for
> us to be better than every other journalist in the country. And outside
> the country.
