On this episode of the podcast, three-time Mayor and longtime Beverly Hills City Council Member John Mirisch joined Amanda Head to pull back the curtain on Hollywood’s performative politics and selective activism. From celebrity grandstanding at the Golden Globes to the media’s silence on Iran’s brutal regime, Mirisch exposes how moral outrage is often driven by trend, not by truth.

In this episode Council Member Mirisch explains why Iran’s repression deserves far more global attention, why regime change won’t happen without outside pressure, and how celebrity culture distorts public understanding of foreign policy. Mirisch takes aim at Qatar, calling out its funding of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, questioning its influence over American politics and media. He argues the case for designating Qatar as a state sponsor of terrorism.

This is a candid, unapologetic conversation on power, propaganda and the cost of looking the other way. You can also follow Council Member Mirisch, Amanda Head and this podcast on X by searching for the respective handles: @AmandaHead , @FurthermorePod, @JohnMirisch
