Come see us on tour. We're going to be in Buffalo, New York, Toledo, Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Glasgow, Manchester, Belfast, Dublin, Liverpool, Birmingham, and London. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Jimmy, this is actor, husband, father, and eldest brother of siblings, Alec Baldwin. Oh, Alec Baldwin. Thanks for calling. How are you?

Jimmy, as I'm sure you know from watching my family's joyfully chaotic reality show. I did watch. The Baldwin on TLC. Yes. My life is one goddamn thing after another. Yes. And I wouldn't change any part of it. No part? You wouldn't change any part of your life? Nothing that comes to mind. Ah.

as you can see from the show i'm surrounded by love and support yes which is how i interpret my wife being a big old bee to me all the time i'm sorry alex i don't i don't watch your reality show on tlc yes well there's a lot of that going around yeah but if you're not interested in my reality tv show perhaps there is another project of mine i could interest you in oh what's that

I'm excited to say my new film, Rust, is opening in theaters nationwide this Friday, May 2nd. You have got to be kidding me. Jimmy, I'm as serious as a fatal onset accident. That's in the 1800s, this gritty western, Fitz. Is this why you're calling? You're literally doing press for Rust? Well, someone has to. Yeah.

Pretty much everyone else involved has abandoned it like an incest baby. The writer-director recently told The Guardian, I wish I had never written this movie. Thanks, Paul. Much appreciated. Yeah. What a fantastic PR strategy. Personal regret. Not going to get butts in seats for sure. He's just sore about the whole thing. Yeah.

No, literally. He's still doing rehab to regain motion after being shot with a bullet during an onset mishap. What kind of mishap?

I'm not at liberty to discuss that. What I am at liberty to discuss is that in this modern Western noir, which critics have hailed an honest look at the flawed human soul, I play fallen hero Harlan Rust. Wait, that's your character's name, Rust? That's why the movie's called that? Yes, Jimmy. Oh, my. Let's just...

Yeah, let's just get on with this, shall we? Let me do my little pitch and I'll let you go and call into Bob and Tom. I guess I never really thought about the fact that there would inevitably be a time where this movie, Rust, would be released and promoted like any other movie.

It has to be done, Jimmy. We made a fucking movie. It has budgets, investors, bonds, just like anything else. Everyone involved with this picture has a fiduciary duty to promote it and make money. And I seem to be the only one taking that fucking duty seriously. Must be a burden. Jimmy, sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders. I imagine so. Anyways, go on.

Thank you. As I was saying, I play Harland Rust, and a man in the Old West. A man whose past is as mysterious as his future is uncertain. Who knows not whether to fight his fate, or to simply embrace it.

This is falling flat, isn't it? Yeah, I'm afraid so, Alec. Yeah. God damn it, Jimmy. This is impossible. People associate this movie with one thing and one thing only. Yeah. And here I am, like a big fat idiot, trying to sell it by talking about everything except that thing. Well, maybe that's the problem. What do you mean, Jimmy? Well, I think you need to come to terms with the fact that the only reason anyone is going to see this movie is because of what happened. Pure morbid interest.

I see. You mean I should exploit that tragedy for financial gain? Do you really think I've sunk that far, Jimmy? How long have we known each other? Are you currently exploiting your own family for a reality TV show? Point taken. Perhaps you're right. A movie most famous for its disastrous production must be promoted based on that disaster. Rust is like Waterworld without the water. Exactly, Alec.

Thank you, Jimmy. Thank you for setting my head straight on this. I'll get right on it. It will have a viral astroturfed campaign without my fingerprints on it. I'll start subreddits called Rust Heads. Gin up support for opening night. Call May 2nd St. Armorer's Day. Get really fucking grim with it. But fuck it, we need to make at least 75% back. That's the spirit, Alec. Will you be seeing it, Jimmy?

Well, I'll talk to Steph and you'll maybe see. That's a no. No worries, old friend. There's always man cow. Until next time, Jimmy. As my wife, Hilaria, would say, adios, mi amici.

But my view, based on very extensive work over the last four and a half years, is that COVID came from the University of North Carolina.

which is the leading researcher on beta coronaviruses, working with the U.S. government on a set of grant proposals that identified putting in the viral change that created SARS-CoV-2. It's a grim truth. It's ugly.

It's been hidden from view. You know, we've been telling you that there wasn't a thing they didn't lie to you about COVID. They lied about masks. They lied about herd immunity, natural immunity. They lied about the vaccine stopping transmission. They lied about the vaccine stopping contraction. They tried to bury the vaccine trial data for 75 years. They got rid of the placebo group, which you're not supposed to do in science. They lied about where the virus came from. They lied about funding the virus.

Well, guess what? Now Jeffrey Sachs is telling us that it wasn't actually invented in China. Jeffrey Sachs was, by the way, remember he was the head of the Lancet study group to study COVID and the virus, where it came from. So now he's saying this. I'll tell you a sad truth, also a little surprising.

And I have to admit, what I'm about to tell you is only 99% sure. But my view, based on very extensive work over the last four and a half years, is that COVID came from the University of North Carolina.

which is the leading researcher on beta coronaviruses, working with the U.S. government on a set of grant proposals that identified putting in the viral change that created SARS-CoV-2. It's a grim truth. It's ugly. It's been hidden from view. The reason I mention it in this context is we don't have any global governance system

that is effective right now to control the manipulation of dangerous pathogens like the manipulation that created the pandemic. And when it happened, and officially it took 7 million deaths, but probably if you count all of the deaths associated with COVID, it was probably closer to 20 million deaths.

Even when that. Yeah, I can't believe that he still quotes that statistic. We know that they were counting. They were overcounting those deaths. They were saying people who died with covid died from covid. And we know that's not true. So we know. So I'm kind of surprised he's still he's still quoting that. That's a that's a shocker to me. And dying with covid was the whole point of designing and releasing covid. People that would die with covid would do that.

It's not an accident. Oh, it accidentally got out in Wuhan and Fort Detrick. Yeah, they both had oopsie butterfingers No, that's planned and the guy that told me about the Taliban Having the lithium triangle on it and his info was good He told me the deal in China is they've got that population bomb of old people that they can't take care of because they're enough kids replace them and they don't do immigrants and

So they need to soft kill, just like in America where we don't want to pay Social Security. That means how I take that is just my personal, how I take it. Fauci and a coalition of whoever is in the universities with China

They both released at the same time because the plan was to get rid of some excess population with COVID. Now, that's Kurt's theory. And I am past the point where I discount anybody's theory on COVID or anything that the government has said in the last 20 years because it's been nothing but lies, lies and lies starting at 9-11.

And going right through every war, going right through Libya, right through the meltdown, right through everything, right, right through Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan for 20 years. The covid, everything about covid. So if you can think it, there's a good chance it's true is what I'm saying. But I'm surprised he still quotes that number. Let me just see what else he has to say here. Happens. It's never properly investigated. It's covered up.

It's hidden from view. This is a big claim. It's the first time that I hear it. Yes, it's a big claim. So, of course, it's never... So, a lot of people are scared that he's calling for global governance to stop. I don't think he wants...

the world's governments to agree to stop doing gain-of-function. I don't think he's advocating for the global governments to come together and start a World Health Organization. I don't think he's doing that. I think he's saying, hey, let's have a world treaty to stop gain-of-function. I'm on board with that. He's right about that. But this is not new news.

And my question to Jeffrey Sachs, who's a friend of the show and an amazing guy just in general on world politics. My question to him, I wish that guy would have asked him, when did you figure this out? How long have you known this? Because Redfield, this is the former CDC director. He was the CDC director under Trump for a little while. He said this last year, last year, I think in November on this podcast. Who else?

China said it. And China said China's been saying that, by the way, we were telling the truth. They were telling the truth. China's been telling the truth that no, it was created at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill by Ralph Baric. And here this is what he says. Watch. This virus was engineered. I think it was intentionally engineered as a part of a biodefense program. What was the U.S. role?

So when they say biodefense, they mean it wasn't created for defense. It was created to be a weapon. And then they create the vaccine to. So it was created as a weapon not to defend ourselves from someone else. It was a weapon to attack people. And then they create a vaccine so they could give it to our people who are. So that's what that's all about. But anyway, so she asked him this question.

I think it was substantial. And this is why... What was the role of the U.S. in creating this? You know, when you look at the accountability for China, their accountability is not in the lab work and the creation of the virus. Their accountability is not following the international health regulations after they realized that they had a problem and allowing people like me at CDC to come in and to help them within 48 hours like they were obligated to based on the treaty.

But the U.S. role was substantial. One is they funded the research, both from NIH, the State Department, USAID, and the Defense Department. All four of those agencies helped fund this research. Secondly, the scientific mastermind behind this research is a guy named Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina.

And he was very involved in this research. I think he probably helped create some of the original viral lines, but I can't prove that. But he was very involved. Some have said that they are concerned that it was actually developed here and China was framed. Is that possible? Well, I don't know if they were framed, but I think there is a real possibility that the virus birthplace was Chapel Hill.

So he was saying that last year. And we see we need to ask him if Fort Detrick is the source of the pandemic. In summer 2019, an epidemic of an unknown respiratory disease spread across the United States when the CDC abruptly shut down Fort Detrick for serious safety violations. And this is from Global Biodefense. Richard halted.

The U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, the only biosafety level four laboratory in the Department of Defense, has ceased research operations on high risk pathogens after failing to meet. So that was when a lot of people were getting sick, these respiratory viruses. And they go, oh, it's it's remember they said it was from vapes.

And a lot of people, a lot of people speculate. I'm like, why would it just happen in that area? Why would people be getting sick from the vapes just there? People are using vapes all over the world. Why just right around Fort Detrick?

So then they shut it down. And of course, you were lied to about that. And so here. You know how, Jimmy, if you got if you do vape and you drop your vape on the ground and you get something in there. Yeah. You're inhaling it into your lungs. So it's kind of you. But it wouldn't just be everywhere because a virus is loose in the area where you dropped your vape. So the Carolina Journal, the former CDC director, claims that COVID-19 emanated from you. This is from last November.

At the time, UNC Board of Governors Chairman Randy Ramsey said Dr. Barak has provided life-saving coronavirus treatment options for the people of our state, our nation, and the world. But rumblings of Barak's possible involvement in the virus's creation have been circulating almost since its known beginnings.

Before we go on, Malcolm, can you find that when Ryan Paul questioned Fauci and he said, are you funding gain-of-function research? And he said, no. And he said, are you doing it with Ralph Baric at the University of North Carolina? And he said, no. But if we are, it's being done according to regulations. Do you remember that? Could you find that video? We've used it before, but I don't know on what. So see if you can find it.

And of course, cut this out. But the rumblings of Barrick's possible involvement in the virus's creation have been circulating since almost since its known beginning. But you guess you're never going to hear that on MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Fox News. You don't want him to be cyber bully, Jimmy. Barrick has been researching coronavirus for three decades. So for 30 years, he's been doing this work.

Barrick was named in different conspiracy theories. That's according to the Carolina Journal. Conspiracy theories. You mean conspiracy facts? That it wasn't a wet market? Do we have a wet market in Raleigh? Barrick was named in different conspiracy theories after a 2015 paper he co-authored with many other scientists, including one associated with the Wuhan lab, which showed that coronaviruses in bats could directly infect humans rather than involving in another animal first.

This first theory that emerged about the origins of COVID-19 was that it first appeared in a bat form, a wet market in China. Because that was a lie. They just made it. It wasn't a theory. That was a lie. That was made up by Tony Fauci.

Tony the Science. It was made up. He gave an $8 million grant to the scientists that he sent to China to find out about the virus. And they originally reported back, yeah, it looks 100% like it came from a lab. And he said, hey, here's $8 million. Say it came from a wet market, and that's what happened.

So this wasn't a theory. There wasn't a theory. There was no theory that emerged. So this is why you can't trust corporate newspapers. A theory emerged. It wasn't, yeah, it just emerged out of nowhere, like a crack in the earth opened up and then this theory came out. Like a biogenesis, life from nothing. The first theory, no, it was the lie that was pushed by Tony Fauci, by Anthony Collins, the...

The entire medical profession, including the medical journals, you always think medical journals are beyond reproach. No, they're all run by criminals who take bribes. That's why that's why they told you don't do your own research, because they knew if you did do your own research and you looked into it for a second, you would find out that they were lying about everything and that the whole medical system is completely corrupt.

Completely. They wouldn't allow you to get ivermectin, which is available over the counter in other countries, including Mexico. They wouldn't allow Walgreens to give it out, or they were threatening them.

Yeah, that's how corrupt the United States is. So and the people in the United States don't know because the people in the United States are so stupid. They have no idea that when they turn on the TV news or read the Washington Post or that they're being lied to, that they're being propagandized. They don't know that they're the most propagandized people in the entire world. People in China are propagandized. You know the difference? They fucking know it.

They know they're being propagandized. People in North Korea are being propagandized. You know the difference? They know it! The people in the United States have no idea, and that's how you know it's really good propaganda, because they don't know it's propaganda.

Yeah. They don't know they were propagandists. They don't know they were propagandists about ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, steroids, early treatments. They were propagandists about masks, the virus, the vaccine, long COVID, lockdowns, social distances. It was all propaganda. And you bought it. And you still see freaking people walking around today with masks on.

Right. Well, I think there is a health directive for fat people who work at the airport to continue. There is definitely. Yeah. The first. So that wasn't a theory. The first theory did not emerge about the origins of COVID. Out of the mouth of a liar. It didn't emerge. It was a lie concocted by Anthony Fauci. That's why he got a blanket pardon going back to 2014. Oh, my God. This guy wrote a paper in 2015 all about it.

I wonder why his pardon goes all the way up to 2014. Is that because that's when the United States overthrew the democratically elected government in Ukraine and we started opening up bio labs like McDonald's over there in Ukraine? You think that's it? So we could create bioweapons under the direction of Tony Fauci, who was the head of the bioweapon program for DARPA, which is the Pentagon.

Wait, Jimmy, Obama said you can't do that no more. Does that mean that Ralph Baric was doing it and it was still being done in America too? Yes, that's what that means. Awesome. Awesome. In 2021, Baric signed on to an open letter that appeared in Science demanding an investigation into the origins of COVID. I demand to find out where the gambling's happening in this casino. It's more of a dare than a demand. I dare you to try to investigate this and see where you get to.

That same year, U.S. Senator Rand Paul also pointed the finger at Barak at a congressional hearing. For years, Dr. Ralph Barak, a virologist at the United States, has been collaborating with Dr. Shi Zhengli of the Wuhan Virology Institute, sharing his discoveries about how to create super viruses. Rand Paul said that. We played that video on this show.

He said that to Anthony Fauci in the Senate, in a Senate hearing. And then Anthony Fauci lied to him. So that's the third time I caught Anthony Fauci lying to Congress. And of course, he has a blanket pardon now, so he'll never have to face prosecution over it. That's why they pardoned him, because he lied to Congress on three different occasions.

Jimmy, you're just cherry picking all the times he lied. Yeah, just this gain of this is what this gain of function research has been funded by the NIH. The implication was clear intentionally or unwittingly. It was intentional. Ralph Baric was complicit in the creation of SARS-CoV-2, notwithstanding the total lack of evidence.

Wait, so you see the connections to China that they all have? So that's USAID, the CIA, DARPA, Fauci, all of them have deep relations to China coming up with bioweapons to soft kill their old people. That's what I think. I think it looks pretty obvious personally. That's Kurt's personal theory. I cannot confirm or deny that theory. Any theory deserves complete

uh uh uh you should you should entertain all theories because the stuff that we already know is true is crazier than any theory i could ever hear someone make up we just had two and two in front of your face soon after ralph barrett gain of function became a popular online search phrase and included online threats oh bullying yeah

As the guy's creating viruses that are killing millions of people, they're worried that that guy who did that might get a threat. Wow, I had a mandated bioweapon put in me. Yeah, that's what you had. I felt threatened.

He later told MIT Review, we never created a super virus. Another lie. That's a figment of Rand Paul's imagination and obviously being used for political advancement. So that's what they do. They try to discredit anybody who's on to them and they call them conspiracy theories. For political advancement. If Rand Paul somehow gets these scumbags the punishment they deserve.

Put him on the president. Yeah. Race the other president. Just put him. Yeah. Just Rand Paul. Advance him politically. If he is anyone that could bring these assholes to justice, please advance them politically. Listen to how this newspaper reports at the Carolina Journal. Rand Paul, who also had a beef with Dr. Anthony Fowler. You mean he also exposed Dr. Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress? You mean that kind of a beef?

Where he asked him a question and then Anthony Fauci lied to Congress about the dangerous research they were doing? I mean, not research, experiments, crazy nutty scientist research. Jimmy, this beef is a nothing burger. Yeah. Former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases had also criticized gain-of-function research, which Barak uses.

I'm sorry. I thought they don't do that. Yeah, I thought they didn't do that. This research involves experiments that alter viruses or other organisms' genetic makeup to gain new abilities or functions. And viruses, this can mean making them more transmissible or perhaps more deadly. Or both, which is exactly what they did. What? Okay. I wonder if that had something to do with COVID. I wonder. I wonder.

In 2014, the federal government put a moratorium on some gain-of-function research. But Barrick's work was not banned. So they didn't go around Obama. Obama's in on it. That's right. Here comes the big one. Let's see if this will play.

virus and then use this man-made super virus to infect human airway cells. Think about that for a moment. The SARS virus had a 15% mortality. We're fighting a pandemic that has about a 1% mortality. Can you imagine if a SARS virus that's been juiced up and had viral proteins added to it, to the spike protein, if that were released accidentally? Dr. Fauci, do you still support funding of the NIH funding of the lab in Wuhan?

Senator Paul, with all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain-of-function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Do they fund Dr. Baric? Do they fund Dr. Baric at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill? So this is the third time Dr. Fauci lied to Congress. The second time I just showed you.

The first time Rand Paul quoted in that video. Here's the third time. Hey, are you guys funding the gain of function Dr. Barak's doing? Here it is. With all due respect, you are entirely and completely incorrect that the NIH has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Do they fund Dr. Barak?

We do not fund. You fund Dr. Barrett's gain of function research? Dr. Barrett does not doing gain of function research. And if it is, it's according to the guidelines and it is being conducted in North Carolina. There it is.

He's not doing it. But if he is doing it, it's doing according to the guideline. Well, which is so right there in North Carolina. And he said it right there. He said in North Carolina, he goes, Dr. Barrett, he's not doing gain of function. But if he is, it's being done according to guideline. Well, which is it? Is he doing gain of function or not? And that didn't make the news. You know what part did make the news? Where Fauci goes, you don't know what you're talking about.

But of course, not that part. Not the part where he obviously is lying and obviously contradicted himself. You know who caught it? A Jagoff C student nightclub comedian caught it on YouTube, which is why that my channel is now considered borderline content because I told the truth about COVID, which is why 95 percent of my old friends in Hollywood don't talk to me anymore because I told the truth about COVID and their lemmings.

At least they're not corrupt like the news is. The news didn't cover this because they're corrupt. They're all corrupt. They're all corrupt. Sean Hannity's corrupt. Anderson Cooper's corrupt. Rachel Maddow. Chris Hayes, the nerd. Fake tough guy Lawrence O'Donnell. Wolf Blitzer. Of course we know that Fredo Cuomo is corrupt. We know that Don Lemon was corrupt. Of course. They're all corrupt, meaning they're paid off.

To lie to you. And they didn't talk about this. I knew about this. I was able to find it in 30 seconds as I'm hosting a show. You don't, but they're never going to show this on the news. They won't show it tonight at the news. After Trump bans gain of function, they're going to make it look like Trump is being anti-science. I guarantee you that's how it's going to be covered tonight on the news.

Aren't you amazed how not classified the plots are? They're not conspiracy because they're not classified. You can find them. You're just not gonna. Yes. Don't do your own research. That's why they didn't want you to do your own research, because you would find out that Dr. Fauci, the government, was creating a bioweapon.

Called COVID-19. And they were doing it at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Now we have the guy who was the lead guy for the Lancet study group to figure out where the virus came from. And we have the former CDC director saying it came from Ralph Baric at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. And we have Dr. Fauci completely contradicting himself on in Senate testimony, which is a felony. But that's why he needed a blanket pardon.

I guarantee you they're going to cover. I can't wait to see how they cover Trump's executive order banning gain of function. You know, they're going to call it conspiracy theory. They're going to show him saying, oh, he said he put bleach. He didn't say any of that stuff.

Trump has a lot of flaws. It's amazing that, but the problem is that the establishment and Trump agree on the worst things. So they have to make up stuff about Trump. Isn't it amazing? Trump has a lot of flaws. You don't have to make up stuff to criticize him. Yet they do. ABC News had to pay him $15 million because they lied about him. And they're going to lie about, they lied about him. Both people, fine people on both sides. That was a total lie. They lied when he said you have to inject bleach to fight. That was a total lie.

There wasn't a thing they haven't lied about. Russiagate, 100% lie. And everything they said about it. There it is. Do you want to play? I'll play it again. This is one of the most remarkable pieces of video that surround COVID that I've ever seen. And nobody else talked about it. I didn't see another YouTuber. Maybe Kim Iverson talked about it. Maybe. Maybe.

I don't know other. They still don't talk about it to this day. I bet Richard Grove did. If I had to bet, Richard Grove's pretty thorough. He picks up this show a lot on his channel. Oh, no kidding. Richard Grove, my rabbi. Yeah, he's great. Grand Theft World. Great podcast. It tells you everything about everything. Has not ever and does not now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Do they fund Dr. Barak?

We do not fund. You fund Dr. Barrett's gain of function research? Dr. Barrett does not doing gain of function research. And if it is, it's according to the guidelines and it is being conducted in North Carolina. You don't think it's a bad virus spike protein that he got from the Wuhan Institute? Do you see the guy behind him? That's his that's his aid laughing because they know they just got Fauci lying. But of course, nothing's going to happen.

Well, I think they got him telling the truth because he said it's a North Carolina. Oh, that's right. But he lied first. He lied first and said, no, we're not funding it. What a great. And then he said, but if we are funding it, he's doing it correctly.

what yeah with a sleight of hand was to keep you focused on china this whole time yes it's really you gotta give them credit for this like little yes pony show because it was very effective and isn't it amazing the people who are still shitting their pants about covid which they are they're out there they're all over the place i know people look at any evidence about it because they become comfortable shitting their

pants. That's right. And they like to they like to shit their pants over it. And then I asked them the next logical question. So if you're still wearing a mask when you go out to concerts, you're still wearing a mask. And when you go into the airport, you're still wearing a mask and you're still deathly afraid of covid and you're still getting your boosters. Wouldn't you be angry at the guy we now know created that virus that you say killed millions and millions and millions of people? That's more people than Hitler killed.

But Jimmy, I'm more afraid of people speaking. But they're not mad at him.

They're not angry at the guy who invented the virus that they're still shitting their pants about on a daily basis. They're not angry. Why would wouldn't it be logical that they would be angry at the guy who created the virus that has completely dominated their life for the last five years? And they say killed millions of people, but they're not. They don't ever do that. They never go. Oh, my God, this virus is deadly. I have to wear a mask 24 hours a day. I have to take my boosters. I can't. And that.

But then they'll go, oh, and the guy who made it should be in jail. They never do that. Why do you think that is, Kurt? Okay, because all your friends that don't tell you about it, these are people, because old scenes lie, nerds, and it's programmed into them from childhood. They're more afraid of being mistaken or wrong.

Because in their world, there's no forgiveness for that. That's like you're bad and you're out. So having to admit you're wrong is way worse than wearing a mask forever and living in fear. I mean, that's a fact. You know these people. I know them personally. Being wrong, they would never forgive you for being – well, they won't forgive you for being right. That's it. But if you made a mistake and they could catch you in it, they would never let go of it. So that applies to them too. So they'll do this forever. Yeah.

So now we know. It was invented right here in the United States at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. So we do make things in this country. Yeah, we can still make stuff. We can make bombs and viruses. Anything that has to do with the Pentagon. We can do that. We have a death economy in the United States. Well, not hypersonic missiles. Somehow Iran outpaces us. Somehow we can't make hypersonic missiles. Somehow.

Nobody voted for him to give more money to Israel. Nobody voted for him to do a war with the Houthis. Nobody voted for any of this stuff. Nobody voted for him to curtail our freedom of speech at the behest of a protected class of Jewish people called Zionists, the most powerful people in the country.

No, they're a protected class. I'm not going to bury the lead. Donald Trump is trying to increase the military budget like $160 billion. Do you realize how much money that is? You know the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars? About a billion dollars. So here's Steve Bannon saying, remember, Doge is going to save all this money. We're going to balance the budget. We're going to save all this money. They're getting rid of USAID and NED, but the real money is in the Pentagon.

And this is what Steve Bannon had to say about it. And first off, they will not go across the Potomac, which they have to do. Across the Potomac means to the Pentagon. To get to the Pentagon to start to see where cuts are going to come from and where waste, fraud and abuse is. It just has to happen. You're not an adult in Washington, D.C., and trying to take on the people that run the imperial capital if you're not prepared to do that.

So if you're not prepared to go and audit the Pentagon and cut their waste, fraud and abuse, you're not a grown up adult and you're not real. And so that's what all this doge was. Doge was a smokescreen to make you think they were. Guess who else is a big defense contractor? One of the biggest Elon Musk. So he's cutting all that money. And what did they do with that money? Well, they gave it to the Pentagon.

So all the money that Elon Musk just saved you, he's now sending to the Pentagon. And who gets all that money? His favorite charity, himself.

He's a big defense contractor. So that's why they never went there. It was always a scam. And that's why Trump was allowed to cut all that money from USAID and from the NED, from the deep state. Why? Because they knew he was going to take it and give it right back to them. He took it from one pocket and put it in the other. So he just cut out the middleman. The middleman is USAID. They do the they're the middleman for the deep state and the Pentagon. So now he just took out the middleman and they give it right to the Pentagon.

That's it's like it's like if someone stole money from me, they came to my house and they stole all my money and the cops caught the guys and they got the money, but they didn't give the money back to me. They use the money to buy to hire more cops. Like what? That's not what you're supposed to do with that money. So that's what they're doing with that money. They're using that money to go do more shit that nobody voted for.

Yeah, by the way, Elon's not the guy in charge. Those three guys standing behind Trump, I bet they're in charge. Those guys, go ahead and sign it, Trump. So Trump budget proposed a $1 trillion for defense. Is that a record? That's a record.

Yay. As he slashes education, foreign aid, environment, health, environment, health and public assistance. I'm for all the CIA things. Yeah. I gave it to these. So one faction of the deep state took all the money from the other faction. So they didn't cut anything is the point. They lied to you and they did something that nobody wants. More money for the Pentagon. The Pentagon, they wanted audited.

They want to, just like Steve Bannon said, they want caught, waste, fraud, and abuse. They can't even pass an audit. Nobody knows where the money goes. Did Elon not break his pick on that? Remember we kept saying cross the Potomac, cross the Potomac, cross the Potomac because you can't talk about fraud and waste and abuse seriously in this town unless you're going to go to the Pentagon. And you know what's happened since he went over there? Crickets. Because they're tough. That's it. They've done nothing.

uh here's trump uh remember when he said he wanted to cut the military budget in half remember this watch this yeah we have the greatest military equipment in the world we're building it at some point when things settle down i'm going to meet with china and i'm going to meet with russia in particular those two and i'm going to say there's no reason for us to be spending almost a trillion dollars on military there's no reason for you to be spending 400 billion dollars

China's going to be at 400 billion. We're at a trillion. We're going to be at close to a trillion. And I'm going to say we can settle this or we can spend this on other things. We don't have to spend this on military because and I'm going to. We can all have free college. We could all have high speed rail trains to every city in the United States. We could all have new parks. We all have brand new roads. We could all have health care. We could have everything.

But they're not going to give it to you. They're not going to give you any of that shit because Donald Trump is also controlled by the deep state. He still is. This is what this is. This is why he was allowed to cut USAID and NED in the first place, because they knew he was going to just put it right back in the Pentagon. And all this was bullshit.

We were meeting with China. You know, we were trying to de-escalate nuclear. And I was in a position where Russia had agreed and China had agreed we were going to start. And then we had a rigged election, so that never took place. But this one was too big to rig. We won by so much that it was too big to rig. These are going to be some of the most beautiful military budgets you've ever seen. Once we mix Russia's and China's military budget into ours, you won't even believe how fun and easy it's going to be to join the Army.

Well, did you hear what he said? He goes, at some point when things settle down. Yeah. So here's how we get around that. Things are never going to settle down. They're never going to settle down. Yeah. So here's what he said a month ago. We have great, great things happening with our military. We also essentially approved a budget, which is at the facility. You'll like to hear this of a trillion dollars, one trillion dollars.

And you'll like to hear this. Who's he saying it to? Elon Musk, because he's going to get about a couple hundred billion of that money as a defense country. Who is he saying? You're going to love this. Who's going to love this? Larry Ellison, the guy from Palantir. Yeah, the guy from Palantir. There's like a whole bunch of tech jerk offs that are going to love it. Oh, the AI guy. Remember, they got all that money for AI behind China somehow in that as well.

And nobody's seen anything like it. We have to build our military and we're very cost conscious, but the military is something that we have to build and we have to be strong because you got a lot of bad forces out there now. So we're gonna be approving a budget, and I'm proud to say actually the biggest one we've ever done for the military.

So the question should be, what could America have done with a trillion dollars? And sadly, the answer is what we always do with a trillion dollars. We give it to the military. We give it to the war machine because Eisenhower wasn't lying when he said you have to resist the undue influence of the military industrial complex. Guess who's not doing that? Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Bill Clinton. No, none of them.

None of them are resisting the undue influence of the military-industrial complex. Well, how would they even be allowed to? First of all, we haven't won a war since we had this complex. How is that possible? We have not won a war or even wrote down that we had a war on the books since the military-industrial complex. So the money's been going up to lose wars the entire time. Nobody has a problem with that?

So that's the big news. And I could go into it about all the intricacies about there's a reconciliation bill, but Trump's actually only proposing to keep the budget at the same level, but there's a reconciliation part that that's when you get the extra $160 billion that brings it to a trillion dollars. Trump wants a trillion-dollar military budget, and he's going to push to get it. That's the story. How come the military never has to run slimmer and better military?

Everything else does. This is a lot of waste. Because our country's 100% corrupt, Kurt. That's why. Because when those people get to, when they do a session at Congress, they're not doing the bidding of citizens or taxpayers or students or the elderly or the sick or anybody or workers. They're doing the bidding of the military industrial complex, Big Pharma and Wall Street. That's what they're doing. And oil companies. That's it.

The people who actually run things, as George Carlin said, the owners of this country. You don't have representatives. That's there to give you the illusion that you're being represented by somebody.

Nobody voted for this. Nobody voted for him to do a war with Iran. Nobody voted for him to give more money to Israel. Nobody voted for him to give to do a war with the Houthis. Nobody voted for any of this stuff. Nobody voted for him to curtail our freedom of speech at the behest of a protected class of Jewish people called Zionists, the most powerful people in the country. God, they're a protected class.

Holy shit. Nobody voted for any of this. We're going to talk about that in another segment. You're telling me the masters of the universe. The masters of the universe. So that's the story. Trump wants a trillion dollars. And most of the MAGA people who come to my... I just did a show last night in San Jose. They don't want any part of this trillion dollar military budget. They're upset. They're upset that they're taking... You're signing up for the military now. I mean, you know... But they are upset, Kurt. I'm telling you, the people who came out to come out to my shows who are MAGA...

They're sincere. They want to have those doge cuts. They don't want to give it right back to the warmongers. They don't want to give it to Israel. They don't want to give it to Raytheon. Ukraine still? They don't want to do that. Booz Allen and Boeing. They don't want to do that. They want to invest that money back in our own country.

What do we get for this? We give them all the money. We don't even have clean water. We don't even get clean water. We don't get nice roads. We don't get high-speed trains. We don't get free education. We don't get brand-new parks. Nothing. We get nothing. Here's what you do get. You do get a UFO hint twice a year. That's right. ♪

It's a lesson for us in Africa to learn that anyone who thinks that they can be part of the global trade is wrong. In the global trade, you are either a master or a slave.

And you cannot be an equal partner for those who hold power, who hold money, who hold technology. We have a special guest returning to the show. Moussa Abraham is a Libyan political figure who served as Muammar Gaddafi's information minister.

an official spokesman during the Libyan civil war in 2011, frequently denouncing rebel forces and NATO intervention in defiant press conferences. After the fall of the Gaddafi government, he fled to Egypt and then to Serbia. He has remained involved in politics, frequently speaking publicly about Libya's political situation. Now, we all know that the Libyan Barack Obama calls it his biggest blunder. That's that's quite an understatement.

And so what they did was another it was another at the behest of Israel illegal act.

decapitation of a government and now it's a failed state run by terrorists and has open slaves markets. So we know this. And by the way, the United States bombed their water system, which was considered the seventh wonder of the world. We did it with and we wrecked it. How? Because we used uranium tip bombs, depleted uranium tip bombs to poison their water. That's that's how we helped out the people in Libya. So again, once again, the terrorists are NATO in the United States.

So let me bring on Musa. Musa, thank you for coming back on. I'm very happy, Jamie, to be with you again. So I'm here to talk to you about what's happening with Africa right now economically.

And this is from the Center for Strategic International Studies. It says, how should Africa respond to Trump's new tariffs? And let me just give a quick rundown. 51 African countries, 29 countries will face a baseline of 10% tariffs, while 22 other countries are going to face tariffs up to 50% for almost all their products, excluding a very short list of products such as certain critical minerals deemed necessary to the U.S. economy. The tariff...

The tariffs apply to all goods except the following steel and aluminum articles that automobiles and automobile parts already are subject to this other tariff, copper pharmaceuticals and semiconductors and lumber articles, all articles that may become subject to future section 232 tariffs, bullion. I'm going to guess that's gold and energy and certain other minerals not available in the United States. And here's a quick example.

So the countries in gray, they have zero tariffs. The countries, I mean, the dark gray, they have 10% tariffs. The countries in gold or yellow, they have 10 to 30% tariffs. And in green, they have 30% tariffs or more. And just to let you know how much business we do, the U.S. total trade with Africa was an estimated 71.6 billion in 2024.

The United States exported to Africa $32 billion in goods and imported from Africa almost $40 billion in goods. Now, this specific impact, there's a country called Lesotho. I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right. They face the highest tariffs with a potential 50% levy on its exports, including denim and diamonds. Madagascar is hit with a 47% tariff on its goods, including apparel and vanilla tariffs.

impacting a large swath of their population and moritas is going to be hit with 47 also so what's the consequences tariffs are going to raise the cost of goods for the united states consumers including jeans chocolate ice cream and it's going to disrupt supply chains tariffs could disrupt global supply chains especially for products like denim diamonds and vanilla which are heavily reliant on african and exports and plus there's going to be job losses

Particularly in sectors like textiles and apparel.

And the tariffs could lead to increased inflation in Africa as the cost of imported goods. So there are needs. There's a need for regional integration. The tariffs highlight the importance of developing regional trade networks within Africa to reduce reliance on external markets and build more resilient economies. So let me just go to you. What do you what's your response to the tariffs and to what I just said?

Absolutely, Jimmy. Let me just point out that for some time now I have been the executive secretary of the African Legacy Foundation.

which is a society that was established by the sons and daughters of the leaders of African liberation, the very great leaders from the 50s, 60s, and 70s that led the fight for Africa to be liberated from Western colonialism. So the sons and daughters of Mandela and Nasser and Nkroma and Lumumba

and all of the great names, and we are based in Johannesburg. As for Africa, Jimmy, it's quite an interesting image because it's not unified. We have three sectors of the economy in Africa. We have the extractive sector, meaning, of course, oil, gas, gold, copper, iron, and then we have the manufacturing sector,

And then we have the subsistence economy of Africa. Now, the tariffs were directed at, of course, especially the manufacturing sector. And most of the tariffs and the numbers you read out loud now were, you know, in direct contact with this sector and badly affected hundreds of thousands of workers and badly affected the local economies of countries.

countries from Guinea to Ghana to Senegal to Ethiopia and many others. However,

Trump's administration says that they are not directing any tariffs on the extractive sector, but I would say that's because it's already robbed. It's already extracted. It's already taken out of Africa. We know the numbers. Almost 140 billion U.S. dollars are extracted out of the continent.

with very little being paid back to the continent itself. The only sector that actually survives this, and this is a very, very important point, is the subsistence sector. So shepherds, fishers, people who work in local industries, artisans, anyone who is not

linked or organically structured within the hegemony of the financial centers of London, Washington, New York, have basically survived these tariffs. And this is a reminder that maybe this is the way forward for Africa, not to link its economies to the global market, but to unify its own markets, strengthen its own manufacturing sector,

and maybe also look towards the east, where better trade agreements can be reached with China, India, Korea, Japan, and to Latin America, Brazil, and Argentina. So the picture is varied, is multilayered.

And it's a lesson for us in Africa to learn that anyone who thinks that they can't be part of the global trade is wrong. In the global trade, you are either a master or a slave, and you cannot be an equal partner for those who hold power, who hold money, who hold technology. So do you think this, in a weird way, even though there's a lot of economic pain,

That this will actually spur a positive development where the African countries will seek other markets like China. Why wouldn't they? Why wouldn't they go to China? Because they're not tariffing them, right?

This is exactly what is happening and it got a boost in the last few months. So countries like Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Uganda, I'm naming the very countries that now have turned completely to China and India. India is becoming an important player as well. And they are already proving that this is the right choice and they are showing it to other African countries.

to the extent that important politicians from bigger African countries, such as South Africa, Nigeria, they are speaking out loud now and saying, look, of course, they're speaking to the West. These smaller African countries have directed their efforts to the East and Latin America, and they are getting better deals. You have to change the way you treat us.

But what I know for reality for sure is that the West will never listen. These financial centers, all they care about is extracting wealth from the continent and making sure that Africa does not join the global market on equal footing. Because if they do that, it means they will not be able to rob it anymore. So let me...

Do you think this will eventually have a bad effect on the United States?

It will have a bad effect on the elites, on the oligarchy in the West. As for the general population, that's a different matter, an internal matter for Americans and Europeans to change the very structure of their national economies to make sure that there is economic justice and, you know, just distribution of wealth.

But this news is bad for the financial centers in the West. I do believe, and I really wish my brothers and sisters in the States will pay attention to this. There is a major revolution taking place in Africa in the last two or three years, and it's not just like China or India or Brazil or Russia are coming into Africa and

conditioning the continent to their needs. It's actually the other way around. Africans are going out and reaching to these rising economies and bringing them back into the continent. And I have been touring Africa in the last few years. I have never seen such development, infrastructure,

radical structural changes in the economies of Africa as I have seen in the last two or three years. There is a major change, and I think the West is feeling it. And that's why you have your General Langley, who is the commander of the AFRICOM just yesterday,

talked about how important it is for the states to keep a strong military presence in the continent, and he blasted African revolutionary leaders like the leader of Burkina Faso and Mali because they nationalized

their extractive industries. So it's quite weird for a military general to actually go out of his way to comment on political leaders and their economic policies. But this tells you what is happening in Africa is very important. So you're talking about AFRICOM, which people in the United States are not made aware of what AFRICOM is, what they do. We're completely ignorant to it.

And it was invented in like 2007, I think, by George Bush. And it's basically to have a military presence in Africa so that we can ensure we can influence governments and extract natural resources. Right. Isn't that basically the job of AFRICOM?

Absolutely. And it's not a secret. If you read the statements by AFRICOM year in, year out, they always, of course, they talk about stability, fighting terrorism, but they always highlight their rule as guarantees for the extraction of natural resources. They are moving in for the first time, by the way, under Trump into the Congo.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo is a huge country, one of the biggest in Africa, with over 100 million population. And they have some of the richest lands in the whole globe in terms of minerals and natural resources. And now American military boots are on the ground in the Congo, fueling civil conflict there and fueling

to make sure that the globalized, financialized capital has free, unlimited access to these materials from the land of Africa. So yeah, absolutely. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up. It's the most affordable premium program in the business.
