Hey, come see us do a live stand-up show. We're going to be in Stockholm, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, London, Oslo, Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, Cortland, New York, Oakmont, Pennsylvania, El Paso, Texas, San Antonio, Texas, Edmonton, Alberta, Vancouver, British Columbia, and Denver, Colorado. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for those tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

Jimmy D, it's Al Pacino. Hey, how you doing, Al? What a big surprise that I'm calling. Jimmy, are you surprised? I can't say that I am. You've had a big week.

Yeah, you're telling me. What a fiasco. The Pacino fiasco. Giving little Mr. O to the big O. Oppenheimer. O. Yeah, what happened?

Nothing happened. It went exactly the way it was supposed to. First of all, I didn't even want to fucking be there, okay? I haven't seen any of these movies, and I ain't in any of them either. Usually that's an Oscar night where little baby Al stays at home and watches Netflix. Uh-oh.

But then I get a call from the producers and I say, what do you want? And they say, we want you to be a presenter at this year's Academy Awards. And I say, I don't know. And then they say, please, there will be free food. And you know me, Jimmy, I'm always hungry. So I said, what the hell? Okay. All right. And I

And I ask which award and they say best picture. And I say, that's funny. You must have moved things around significantly because I assume you were giving best picture away first. Usually it's the last award.

And I know that you are not asking Al Pacino to hang around for hours and hours where all these jabronis give their different little speeches and a bunch of talentless hacks that I've never heard of sing the worst songs in the world. Staying up to God knows when on a Sunday night. I know you ain't fucking asking me to do that. Right, right. And then they said, yeah, that's exactly what we're asking. Yeah.

And I say, okay, we're going to have to talk about this food situation more specifically. I'm not going to sit around while Ken from the fucking Barbie movie sings a song about being Ken while I'm eating Hot Pockets. I want beef fucking Wellington, you understand? For me. Not just out in the green room. Get your hands off of that Jimmy Kimmel. And what did they say? Poof.

Fair. Yeah.

Everybody knows the nominee's for Best Picture. Like someone sitting there is going to say, oh, really? Oppenheimer got nominated for Best Picture? I didn't know that. Right. So, of course, I don't know who the winner is beforehand. It's time to give the award. And I go out there strutting my stuff. But, Jimmy, I don't know if you've ever been on stage before, but it's disorienting. The light's bright. There's all these people. Yeah. Aren't you an actor?

Not that night I wasn't. I was a presenter. That's not acting. Let me give you a little secret. Actors don't know how to do anything other than act. And I mean fucking nothing. You see these actors that's up there at the Oscars trying to be funny during their little presentation skit. When is that never a train wreck? Yeah. They don't know how to be funny. They only know how to cry about losing their boy in the Civil War. Yeah, I've noticed that.

So I'm confused and basically in a fugue state. And when I'm in that condition, I only know how to narrate literally what is happening. I figure that's the safest thing to do. So I open the envelope and what do I say? My eyes see Oppenheimer.

Because my eyes saw Oppenheimer. Really, what I should have said was my eyes see the name Oppenheimer, but that's not how it came out. Because that's what was happening in that moment. When you're acting, stay in the moment. Right? Lesson number one. So that's what I do in presenting. It's my method. I'm a method presenter. I see. Interesting. Interesting. And somehow everybody got fucking confused.

Well, wait, who's the winner? What are you fucking some kind of moron? I just said it. I didn't look at Cillian Murphy and say my I see Oppenheimer. I was looking at the fucking note card. Right.

So I didn't do a goddamn thing wrong. They asked Al Pacino to present Best Picture, and what they got was Al Pacino presenting Best Picture. Booyah! How was the Beef Wellington, by the way? Oh, Jimmy. Oh, my man. It was delicious. They had all sorts of other shit out, too, but that was the highlight, hands down. Do you think you'll ever present again?

Maybe. If Sidney Sweeney is nominated for something, know what I mean? Yeah. Have you seen the cans on this gal? Hal, please. What? Everybody's talking about it. She hosted SNL and Iraq was like half the jokes. Yep. So that's the rule. If some ladies knockers are part of the national discourse, water cooler talk, then I can talk about them on fucking YouTube. Fair enough. Anyway, I gotta go. Baby's crying.

Oh, your infant child that you just had? No, no. On this Netflix show I got on in the background, some baby crying, driving me crazy. Gotta find the remote. Arrivederci! Okay, Al Pacino.

medium speeds and jumps to medium and hits them head on it's the Jimmy Dore show

So Don Lemon was supposed to have a show on X and he sat down and had an interview with Elon Musk. Oh, let me guess, Jim, you're going to defend your hero, Elon Musk, right now when he suppressed the free speech of Don Lemon, who after you hear him talk, his name should be Don Potato. Trust me on that. So here's what Glenn Greenwald said. Permit me to show you how dumb Don Lemon is and CNN are, but also the core liberal idiocy on free speech.

Lemon accuses Musk of not supporting free speech because Musk will pay him millions for his show. 60 seconds later,

Don Lemon demands Elon Musk censor more political speech on S. Just to push back on Glenn a little, I'm sure Don Lemon is dumb, but not as dumb as Elon trying to give Don Lemon a show on Twitter. I mean, millions of dollars, that's not a bright, that's autism. You can only attribute to that. Where he thought Don Lemon might be good. But I hear it's a Linda Iaccarino holdover.

Linda Yaccarino was the one promoting we're going to get Don Lemon on X and she's gone now. Oh, really? We're calling her Yaccarino, that gross chick he had that he did the right thing, Elon, and got rid of her. I think that's one of her projects, I'll bet you. Okay, here we go.

And it was tense at moments, but you've been involved in tense interviews. I said to him, I think it's good that people see folks like you and I who have different worldviews come together and talk, as he says, have free speech. Free speech is only important when someone you don't like, or I would say someone who doesn't have your same point of view, if they're allowed to speak freely and to say their point of view.

Apparently that doesn't matter to Elon Musk. It's just for maybe talking points for him or rhetoric because it doesn't seem to matter when it's about him, questions about him from people like me. All right. So when you said that, I wanted to play.

So... People like me are imbeciles? So when he says it was tense, with Don, his interview was tense at times. Yeah, at times it got tense. Let me ask you, Don, was it as tense as being a woman working with you on that terrible morning show? No, not nearly as tense. And I would point out the flaws in Don's argument. Yeah. But he doesn't have an argument. No. So...

Here's what they're referring to when he was talking to Elon Musk. Some of the clips, because some of them are illuminating. These are clips that you shared with us. This is a part of the conversation with Musk where you ask him about hate speech. Here it is. Hate speech on the platform.

Do you believe that X and...

Criticism of Zionism as anti-Semitism. And those are not the same thing. So when they say that hate speech is up, they're completely making up new metrics for what hate speech is. And criticizing Zionism is not hate speech.

Zionism is Nazism. Zionism is evil. And that has nothing to do with Judaism because the most devout Jews that I know, which are the Hasidic Jews, don't want anything to do with Zionism. In fact, they say it's heretical. The state of Israel is heretical to the Hasidic Jews, just so you know. So the idea that hate speech is up is just a talking point that Don Lemon heard before

And then he repeats. And then it's taken as fact by the shit lib corporate media that hates free speech and hates that they can't control the narrative. So just want to let you know, he's wrong about that. Jimmy Southern poverty law center also was saying that before the ADL started kicking things up a notch recently, but don't forget the Southern poverty law center, the founders of which had to leave the organization for sexually harassing and not promoting black women at the Southern poverty law center.

Yeah, it's purely those two. And the Southern Poverty Law Center also had to apologize for slandering, correct me if I'm wrong on this, Max Blumenthal and the Gray Zone. A few people, quite a few people. Quite a few people. So the Southern Poverty Law Center has got a lot of black eyes lately, put it that way. What?

Well, not that it matters because he doesn't know anything. He said in the beginning, oh, well, I believe if people speak – you're supposed to – when you make that stupid argument about – I thought when you want to slander somebody, you go, well, I thought you liked free speech. You're supposed to – the argument is it's good to censor.

this moron doesn't know that like normally a shit lib would go see there should be some some mediation of speech because you don't like it he's so stupid he's actually repeating elon musk's argument of if i don't agree with you then you still should speak and then talking about hate speech and then he immediately says we have to censor hate speech on the platform

is up do you believe that x and you have some responsibility to moderate hate speech on the platform that you wouldn't have to answer these questions from reporters about the great replacement theory as it relates i don't have to answer this great replacement theory as it relates to jewish people first of all the great replacement theory and jews even the dumbest liberal on cnn doesn't try to link that to the jews what is he talking about

I don't know. Oh, maybe Israel's worried about being replaced if the Palestinians aren't killed? Maybe that's what it is. Did the people in Charleston chant, you will not replace us about the Jews? The Jews will not replace us. Oh, maybe that's what he's talking about. That's what he's talking about. Because they don't even bring that up now with great replacement theory. I've never heard it as a Jew thing at all. I heard it as you hate black and brown people mass immigrating here because you're afraid it'll...

Whatever nonsense. Hey, by the way, when Israel is endeavoring to destroy your good reputation, is that called a schmear campaign? Yes, it is. Come on. Are you with me? Come on. I think we established that a while ago. Here we go. I don't have to answer questions from reporters. Don, the only reason I'm doing this interview is because you're on the X platform and you asked for it.

Otherwise, I would not do this interview. So you don't think you do you think that you wouldn't get in trouble or you wouldn't be criticized for these things? Possibly. I could care less. Illuminating in so many ways. I have two things I want to ask. That was illuminating in so many ways. It was illuminating that Don Lemon doesn't believe in free speech and is the dumbest guy maybe ever on TV.

That did a news show. Close second is Chris Cuomo. I got to say, Chris Cuomo is a genius now. Compared to this guy? Chris Cuomo is a salvageable genius compared to this guy. Oh, is this free speech? Let's remember how he starts off this clip. And it was tense at moments. But you've been involved in tense interviews. I said to him, I think it's good that people see...

Folks like you and I who have different worldviews come together and talk, as he says, have free speech. So Don Lemon says it's good to have free speech. And the clip they throw to is Don Lemon saying, why are you giving people free speech? Hate speech is up. Hate speech is up. Don't you want to censor that? It's not. By the way, it's not. And it's not up.

This is... Hate speech, for the record, is a vague, stupid term that can mean literally anything. Anything I don't like is hate speech. Just like anything the ADL doesn't like is anti-Semitism. They don't like criticism of Israel. It's anti-Semitism. Wow. Okay, so here's what... In...

In reflecting on his interview and deal breakup with Musk, Lemon suggested that it is possible, quote, we're learning that a public square of the Internet, such as X, should not be privately owned by someone who would not moderate speech on such a large platform. So Don Lemon does not believe in free speech. He wants speech to be censored and moderated by who? By billionaires, right?

He wants a billionaire that he likes to own a social media platform like Twitter, and then he decides unilaterally what to ban and what to censor based on Don Lemon's feelings. You understand why you can't have limits on free speech? Because the people that get censored are the people that the establishment wants censored, and those are the voices that need the protection of free speech.

Nobody needs protection for speech that the establishment agrees with. People need protection for speech that the establishment hates and wants to censor. That's why you need free speech laws. That's the whole idea of protection of free speech. Again, I'll say it one more time. Speech that the establishment approves of doesn't need protecting. The speech that needs protecting is the speech that Don Lemon hates, disagrees,

disgusts him and that the establishment also hates and wants to censor. That's the speech that needs protecting, not the speech that Don Lemon does or Chris Cuomo does or Rachel Maddow or Anderson Cooper or Sean Hannity. The speech that needs protecting is the speech that people who are criticizing the establishment, dissidents, people like on this show, people like Dr. Robert Malone. Conspiracy theorists.

People who are going to be on this show in a half hour. Dr. Robert Malone. People like Joe Rogan. Doctors like Peter McCullough. Those are the...

How about scientists? How about journalists like Julian Assange? Julian Assange, people... So those are the people who need protecting of their speech. Not people like Don Lemon. Not people like Chris Cuomo or Anderson Cooper. The people who need... So... Jimmy, it's not the people themselves. It's...

It's a speech. People think one, they think libel and slander. This is like the dumb arguments over the years. There's already laws. Yeah. We already have laws about slander. There's already laws. If you criminally libel. Real threats. You're not allowed to make. We already have a law. We already have. So all the things that, so you can sue someone for slander and libel. There's already laws about that. I don't need a Silicon billionaire to come in and enforce that.

the law there's already the justice department there's attorney generals there's local county sheriffs there's police departments there's all kinds of law enforcement agencies to there's the fcc

I don't need a billionaire in secret, his whim in Silicon Valley, deciding who can speak and who can't. We already have law enforcement agencies. We already have a constitution. We already have laws on the books against libel and slander and threats of violence. We already have all that. So this is just, I want to censor speech that it makes me feel icky.

That's what that is. And they love it. And almost all the people I know in Hollywood now, almost all the comedians are for censorship because they're shitty, dumb comedians who are misinformed.

And I'm purposely uninformed. They're the same people who would tell you don't get informed, meaning don't do your own research. When someone tells you to don't do your own research, that means let the person in authority do your thinking for you. If you say I'm going to watch the TV and whatever the guy in the TV tells me to do about COVID, that's what I'll do. That's you being a fucking moron and telling people that I'm going to let someone who's being paid by big pharma to do my thinking for me.

That's what this is all about. And you have to. So the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. And that's why you have to fight this always. So there's always going to be people who want to censor. There's a they wanted to censor rock and roll lyrics in the 80s. Who was that? Tipper Gore and Bill Clinton. Remember that?

So that didn't come from that came from the right came from the left. But we all know that Al Gore and Bill Clinton aren't left. Al Gore and Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama and Joe Biden are corporatists. They're authoritarian, warmongering corporatists. There's nothing there's almost nothing left about them.

And, uh, okay. So wait, all I was going to say to you for that is like, oh, I guess you love Elon Musk or your Billy. No, listen, I don't think Elon Musk is a hero, not a hero to me in any way. I don't give a shit about him. Whoever lets you have the most free speech is the winner of the billionaire contest. That's right. Fuck bag system. We live in. No one made him Jesus of free speech. You guys are doing it. People that are like, why don't you let Don Lemon make up lies and say them on a thing and still pay him.

He can still go on X. So let me get this straight. I mean, let me get this cis-normative. Don Lemon had an awkward interview with Elon Musk about his positions on Palestine and free speech. And so now he's headed to where he'll be safe. He's going to go to... Well, hang on. Let me do this. Musk gave his own take on why he ended the deal. Mm-hmm.

Writing on social media that Lemons' approach to his show was just CNN, but on social media, which it is. Which doesn't work.

He also claimed Lemon lacked authenticity, describing him as just Jeff Zucker talking through Don instead of being the real Don Lemon. There is no real Don Lemon, Elon. That's where you're being autistic. There wasn't a better guy that was just possibly Chris Cuomo. There was not Don Lemon. Don Lemon.

You could see, without the teleprompter, with midwit things to say, he just jumbles them all up into an incoherent argument. When he's left to talk by himself, he's constantly sticking his dick in his mouth. I mean, him cupping his hand with ball smell on it, street bartender's face, that's probably free speech. So here is Don Lemon. He released this video, ironically, on Twitter, where he says...

He's being bad. Here we go. Hi, everyone. Elon Musk is mad at me. And I just put out a statement about what happened between him, me, and the interview that he is apparently so upset about. But make no mistake about this. This is going to be my first episode of... The...

The interview he's so upset about, he's going to let you post it on his social media platform. It's the first episode of the Don Lemon Show. The first episode of the Don Lemon Show. And Elon Musk is so mad about it, he's going to let you post it on his social media platform.

Okay. Hi, everyone. Elon Musk is mad at me. And I just put out a statement about what happened between him, me, and the interview that he is apparently so upset about. But make no mistake about this. This is going to be my first episode of The Don Lemon Show this coming Monday, March 18th. So make sure you tune in. This does not change anything about the show except for my relationship with Elon and X. And they're...

There's a whole lot that went down, and I'm going to tell you about in the coming days. I know, though, that many of you were not happy that I was doing this in the first place, and you told me so. I just want you to know that I did this deal because not only do I believe in free speech, but I— You just— You don't believe in it. It's like Hitler saying, I really believe—I love the Jews. It's like you can say that. It's not true.

Oh, maybe he- Don Lemon doesn't believe in free speech at all. I think because he's going to still be on X and he's doing it for free. Yeah. That's what he means. Watch this. I believed that this was the best possible chance for the work that I'm doing to reach the largest amount of people. So speaking of free speech, right? I thought the first person interview, no brainer, Elon Musk, the man who calls himself a free speech absolutist. I asked him to do it. He willingly agreed to the interview. Throughout our conversation-

I kept reiterating to him that although it was tense at times, I thought it was good for people to see and hear our exchange and that they would learn from our conversation, learn more about him, learn more about me. But apparently, free speech absolutism doesn't apply when it comes to questions about him from people like me.

Of course it does, Don. The fact that he's not going to pay you to do a shit CNN show on Twitter doesn't mean he's censoring you. You're going to post the video onto X. He says at the end of this video, he goes, I'm going to post it on... He doesn't even understand what free speech means. This is Don's argument. Free speech doesn't mean...

That you get paid to speak. That's paid speech. Free speech means no one gets to censor what you have to say. That's called free speech. And no one censoring, including Elon Musk, is not censoring you, Don, what you have to say. I can't believe the amount of stupidity that he is beaming at me right now.

It's at warp phase. It should be able to... If you could put that in one of those Star Trek guns, it would stun you. I'm going to watch, I've got to say. I'm actually looking forward to it. Because if it's really Don, just his unfiltered Keith Olbermann thoughts, I've got a feeling there's going to be a lot of laughs coming. Yeah. Oh, my God. What?

What did we talk about? Why is he so upset? Does he even have a reason to be upset? Make sure you watch it on Monday on YouTube and everywhere you listen to podcasts. On YouTube. Wow. So he's going to have a go on YouTube, you know, where the truth goes through more filters than Fiji water, for fuck's sake. Is he not even going to put on X? YouTube. Yeah. He's going to go on YouTube. That's like asking the band on Titanic, hey, who books this gig while it's sinking? Yeah.

He's going on YouTube. Do you think he's going to get favorable treatment from YouTube secretly? Of course he's going to get favorable treatment. Of course he's going to. He's going to get on the corporate algorithm. He's just like those, just like the hill is breaking. What is it called? Rising. Yeah.

On the Hill with Robbie and Breed. They get the corporate algorithm. Right. 100%. Believe me, that show, I got nothing against that show, but that show wouldn't get half the views it did if it wasn't constantly being pushed through the algorithm. Because when I have my YouTube set to autoplay, right? Yeah. No matter what video I'm watching on YouTube, the next video comes up is nine out of 10 times a video from Rising the Hill.

And I think they do. And Lex Friedman. And I don't think they, I don't got, nope, I don't have a beef with that show whatsoever. And you get Lex Friedman. Again, I don't have a beef with him, but it really is like, oh, you must want to hear from Lex Friedman. No. Because I like guests that he has on and I've watched them on other shows. So it's like, now watch them talk to this robot. So now he's going to be on YouTube and

And I got a feeling that the guy who demonstrates the juicer at Costco is going to get a bigger crowd than Don Lemon on YouTube. The only people, maybe he'll get a couple of big numbers at first because people like Kurt and I will want to hate watch it and see just how bad it really is. I love watch. I cannot wait. But it's just like when Chris Cuomo went to YouTube. Nobody gave a shit. No one watched that show. I'll watch it if he's being talked to by Candace Owens like a small child.

You can decide for yourself. You can even watch it on X because I'm still going to be... I told you he's going on X. You can even watch it on X because Elon Musk isn't censoring you. Because he's not censoring you? Don Libet is conflating censorship with Elon Musk being upset with your bullshit questions. That's not... That is not censorship. Hey, Don. Should have got the contract in writing for you to pull that shit. Isn't that amazing? Maybe you'd get your money. What he's doing is he's... Now he's... He's hiding...

He's pretending he's this is exactly what shit lives do. They pretend they're the victim. You're not a victim. No one has to hire you or pay you to do a shitty news show or whatever you call what you do. Your opinion show. That's not censorship. Nobody pays me to do this. And if they stop paying me, they wouldn't be censoring me.

Well, also, the only people who really are harmed is women that have to work with Don Lemon on, say, a morning show.

And straight male bartenders that aren't interested. And that's who suffers the most in a Don Lemon free speech zone. Posted there. And I'm sure others will as well. So I guess we wish you luck, Don. The same kind of luck that you wish the guy who attaches wings to his Volkswagen when he drives it off a pier. Can't wait to see what happens with your new show. Can't wait to see what happens with your new show. I would love to see him and Keith Olbermann head to head.

So just try take and bake for $12 every Tuesday at Papa Murphy's. Change the way you pizza. Who thought that the January 6th committee suppressed exonerating evidence of Trump's push for National Guard? What? Yeah. Representative Liz Cheney's January 6th committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation's capital. A previously hidden transcript obtained by the Federalist shows that

Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had no evidence to support Trump's official claim that Trump's officials claim that White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview which Cheney attended.

and personally participated in was suppressed from public release until now. So they knew that Trump called for the 10,000 because she was there.

Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato's first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28th, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed.

to protect the city. He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6th, 2021.

Ornato also described White House frustration with acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller's slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021. Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and

and even conspiracy theories about Arnauto ahead of follow-up interviews with them. Pre-bunked. Arnauto was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House. Cheney frequently points skeptics of her investigation to the government publishing office website that posted, she said, transcripts, documents, exhibits, and our meticulously sourced 800-plus page final report.

That website provides supporting documents to the claims made by Cheney and fellow anti-Trump enthusiasts. However, transcripts of fewer than half of the 1,000 interviews the committee claims it conducted are posted on that site. So she only meticulously ate about 800 pies is really what happened. It is unclear how many of the hidden transcripts, including exonerating information suppressed by the committee.

Those documents support the committee's narrative rather than the truth of the events leading up to January 6, 2021, said Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight. The former January 6 select committee apparently withheld Mr. Arnotto's critical witness testimony from the American people because it contradicted their predetermined narrative.

Mr. Arnauto's testimony proves what Mr. Meadows has said all along. President Trump did, in fact, offer 10,000 National Guard troops to secure the U.S. Capitol, which was turned down.

January. So it's almost like the establishment wanted a riot to happen. It's almost like they put FBI plants and Capitol Police in and Metro Police inside the crowd to instigate this happening. And it's almost like the Capitol Police inside swung the doors wide open and took selfies with them. Oh, wait, they did do that. You know, when I started to suspect Jimmy.

when they didn't have an actual trial and just had James' fat fuck daughter do a hearing on ABC that nobody gave a shit about, by the way? More people watch Yellowstone than that?

On January 6th, committee staffer asked Arnauto, hey, when it comes to the National Guard statement about having 10,000 troops or any other number of troops, do you recall any discussion prior to the 6th about whether and how many National Guard troops to deploy on January 6th? Arnauto surprised the committee by noting he did recall a conversation between Meadows and Bowser. He was on the phone, quote,

He was on the phone with her and wanted to make sure she had everything that she needed. So this is exactly why what Kurt just said, they didn't have a real trial to try Donald Trump, but

For insurrection or inciting an insurrection or for anything he did on January 6th because he didn't do the things they said. And it was all made up in a chance in an attempt to criminalize Donald Trump and their political opposition to the donor class, which happens to be Donald Trump. Sounds crazy that a billionaire is somehow an outsider, but he is.

And he is not going to be a puppet to the deep state. And he wouldn't do war the way they want it. And that's all it takes for something like this. And that's why it's extra egregious when guys like Cornel West go along with this shit. And they'll have the balls to tell the truth about it. Because if they'll do this to Donald Trump, a billionaire, you don't think they'll do it to Cornel West or Bernie Sanders or anybody. They do it to him. Why is he running?

who actually stands up against the establishment. And if Cornel West was ever a threat to the establishment, they would just criminalize him too. And he doesn't have the balls to say it. You're no kidding. He doesn't have the integrity to say it because he lives in an ivory tower and he is the establishment. He doesn't have the fucking balls as a goddamn YouTube comedian to say it. He won't say it. He still won't say it.

He'll still pretend Joe Biden's a milquetoast neoliberal and somehow Donald Trump's a fascist. But this is the real thing he should be talking about. And he doesn't have the nutsack to do it. I'm not afraid of Cornel West. He's afraid of me. Arnauto said White House, which is why he wouldn't come on my fucking show for months. And when he came on my show, he couldn't run away fast enough with his tail between his legs. Did someone say you were afraid of him? No. Oh, no. Some weird troll.

Ornato said White House concerns about January 6th were related to fears that left-wing groups would clash with Trump protesters and that no one in the White House anticipated a riot at the Capitol. Antifa and other left-wing groups were planning protests for the same day. Left-wing groups have been involved in violent assaults on Trump supporters following public protests. Including shooting a guy in the head. Remember that? Yes. Meadows wanted to know if she...

Need any more guardsmen wanted to know if she needed any more guardsmen or not testified, and I remember the number 10,000 coming up of, you know, the president wants to make sure that you have enough, you know, he's willing to ask for 10,000. I remember that number. Now you now that you said it, it reminded me of it and that she was awesome.

All set. She had, I think it was like 350 or so for intersection control and those types of things, not in the law enforcement capacity at the time. Arnotto was correct. Bowser declined the offer, asking only for a few hundred National Guard and requiring them to serve in very limited capacity. There's more in the subways of New York than they had. Right. So the D.C. mayor turned him down. No D.C. N.G. personnel.

She'll be armed during the mission and at no time will D.C. and G. personnel or assets be engaged in domestic surveillance searches or seizures of U.S. persons, Bowser wrote in her letter requesting the D.C. National Guard. Bowser's decision to decline help from the White House did not end the Trump team's effort to secure troops ahead of the protest. When the D.C. mayor declined Trump's offer of 10,000 troops, Arnauto said the White House requested a quick reaction force out of the Defense Department in case it was needed.

The only thing I remember with the DOD, Department of Defense, and the National Guard was even though the mayor didn't want any more National Guard in D.C., that a request was made to have kind of a, for lack of a better term, a quick reaction force out of the Joint Base Andrews, being that it was a military installation, Ornato told investigators in the previously concealed interview. Huh.

I remember Chief Meadows talking to the Department of Defense about that, I believe. I remember Chief Meadows letting me know that, hey, there was going to be National Guard that's going to be at the Joint Base Andrews in case they're going to need some more. We're going to, the mayor would need any, we're going to make sure they're out there.

Meadows was concerned that the D.C. would be unprepared for the size of the crowd coming to the protest, the controversial 2020 election. The January 6th committee prevented an investigation into Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's preparation or lack thereof for Capitol security ahead of the event. So it's unclear if she was as concerned about keeping the peace as Meadows and the Trump White House were.

Once the Capitol was breached, the Trump White House pushed for immediate help from acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller and grew frustrated at the slow deployment of that help, according to the testimony. So then I remember the chief saying, hey, I'm calling Secretary of Defense to get that quick reaction force in there, Arnauto said. Later, he said, and then I remember the chief telling Miller, get them in there, get them in there to secure the Capitol now.

Still later, he said the constant was, you know, where is the National Guard? Why isn't, you know, we've got to get control of this. And again, quote, but, you know, Meadows understood the urgency, that's for sure. And he kept, you know, getting Miller on the phone wanting to know where they were. Why aren't they there yet?

Cheney hid this testimony and instead asserted in her report that President Trump never gave any order to deploy the National Guard on January 6th or any other day, nor did he instruct any federal law enforcement agency to assist. Cheney and her committee did devote 2,000 words in their final report to an unsubstantiating conspiracy theory that President Trump had physically overcome a secret servant agent in the zeal to join protesters at the Capitol. Asked if he ever heard about

anything about Trump deciding to go to the Capitol that day? Ornato said that he hadn't. Ornato said Trump had driven by a previous rally, had flown over another, and that handlers had previously decided against him joining that day's event.

Breaking former Capitol Police Chief Stephen's son tells Tucker Carlson that Paul Irving and Michael Stenger, the two sergeant at arms at the House and the Senate who worked directly under Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell, denied his two requests for National Guard on January 3rd because of the optics. Here we go. Congress passed the law. It's to U.S. Code 1970. Look it up. Just make sure you look it up before December 22 when they changed it.

So what was in effect on the 6th? That requires me to go and get approval for bringing in National Guard or federal assistance in advance. I have to go to the Capitol Police Board and get approval from congressional leadership in advance, like I did on January 3rd. I'm denied twice because of optics and because the intelligence didn't support it. So think about that. Let me ask you once, who made that decision? Who denied you? I was denied by Paul Irving, House Sergeant Arms, and also Mike Stinger, Senate Sergeant Arms.

On January 3rd. Who do they work for? It would have been working for Pelosi on the House side. That Pelosi was number one boss and then McConnell on the Senate side. So effectively Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi shut down your request. My request was shut down, one, because of optics, which is interesting. You're going to hear that term come up a couple more times, optics or the look of the National Guard on the Hill.

So there you go. So if you need any more proof that January 6th was a setup by the establishment and the FBI and the CIA, then I don't know what else you need. Muriel Bowser is a well-known corrupt mayor in D.C., well-known. Muriel Bowser, of course, you're all corrupt.

nancy pelosi mitch mcconnell that's the uniparty that's the uniparty the same donor class that runs the democrats runs the republicans they run the whole goddamn country and they don't want trump because he's not a puppet of the deep state he won't be and he wouldn't do the wars the way they wanted him to and so now they had to do this january 6th this isn't something new they've done this before

And they did the same thing down in Brazil. And now they're criminalizing their political opposition. This is what they do. This is what it's called. And this is why I brought it up to Cornel West. And I thought he would be an ally in calling this out. But of course he's not. He's a coward and he's part of the establishment. And he doesn't have the balls that I have to call a spade a spade and call out what's actually happening because he never will go against the establishment in a meaningful way ever.

Just like Bernie Sanders will never because they got their balls in the vice. Cornel Wessels, half a million dollars to the IRS. They got his balls. And Bernie Sanders' wife was threatened with prosecution over her financial shenanigans at that. And so they got his balls in the vice. And that's why they got nut. They got those guys will never in a meaningful way stand up ever against the establishment. Because if they if they ever planned on doing it, they know the same thing they're doing to Trump. They would do to them right now.

And so they know they'll never stand up, and that's why they won't say anything about it. Go ahead, Kurt. Oh, I just want to say for record, I never believed in either of them, guys. I did. I knew they were fakes. I didn't. The whole time. I thought Bernie was just too weak. I didn't know he was such a phony. I thought he was just like a nice guy, but that's an all shucks routine. He's an actual motherfucker. I didn't know. A lot of people didn't.

I believed in Bernie Sanders. I believed in Cornel West. I believed in a lot of people. Brianna Joy Gray, who I like, still doesn't know. Still hasn't figured it out. She hasn't figured out what? That those two guys are fucking con artists. Yeah, Bernie, I've never seen her really condemn him like she should. She's too good for this world.

Well, that's too bad. But anyway, the villain here isn't Breonna Joy Gray. The villain here are people like Cornel West and Bernie Sanders who have a platform, who people look up to, who have a voice, and who should be saying something, and who aren't saying anything, aren't saying a goddamn thing. Have the balls of a Trump. How about the good guys? Not the bad Trump man. How about the good guys have the balls to say something?

I just want to remind everybody that Neil Young, it was so shocking to me that he came out to be such a mouthpiece for Big Pharma and the establishment and shamed people who were pushing back against the establishment, people who were what you would call dissident voices, because his whole life he pretended to be one. And I remember, and so does the Google remembers, that he used to be one of the loudest,

advocates for banning gmos in fact he boycotted starbucks over their use of gmos here's neil young versus gmos that's that's from msnbc usa today rocker neil young calls for starbucks boycott over gmos

Neil Young pledges $100,000 to Vermont's GMO lawsuit. That's from Time Magazine. So this is all back in 2014 and 2015 when I guess he was trying to get into someone's pants. And that's what... Because he totally flipped when it came to...

When it came, as we know, he took his music off Spotify, even though that was all a lie because he had already sold his music. He had already sold it. Yeah. So here, this is from Vulture. It says, Neil Young.

So this is how he got Daryl Hannah. That's what I think.

Why else would Daryl Hannah go? He had to do this to get in Daryl Hannah's pants. God bless him. If that's the case, then he deserves what he got. I guess so. So he explained and had since deleted a letter. Earlier this month, 270 medical professionals wrote an open letter asking Spotify to take action. Now, we did a story on those 270 medical professionals. Most of them

Were dog catchers. Most of them were medical students. Yeah, it leaked like a sieve. Yeah. And it clearly promoted. And it seemed like a lot of it was coming out of Scripps Clinic, which we now know was the hotbed of, by the way, they're largely capitalized by the CCP now.

And they were very involved in the propaganda, trying to deny the lab leak origin of the virus. You may recall. So Scripps has been at the forefront of propaganda.

the propaganda around advocating for the COVID vaccines, which by the way, is coming back with a vengeance right now because the House is advancing a bill to ban gain-of-function research. And that has just lit a fire under the whole propaganda complex right now.

Well, you got to understand that this vaccine thing is personal for Neil because vaccines are what gave a seven foot tall man the vocal range of Minnie Mouse. Well, to, you know, I think to extend a little bit of empathy, whether or not it's deserved, he does have an autistic child.

And, um, those that, so you would think that would inform him the other way. Don't you, don't you think it would make him more skeptical? So, so there, there's a group of folks with autistic children that, uh, seem to be strongly invested. I'm not saying this is where, I don't know what's, I'm not in Neil Young's head, thank God. Uh, and I don't know what he thinks, but there are folks that, uh,

I don't think they can cope with the possibility that their children might have been compromised by the decisions that their parents made about allowing them to take the jab.

And there's a certain vaccinologist down in Texas, Mr. Peter Hotez, who may fit into this category. I don't want to, again, I'm not in Peter's head and I don't want to be. But that, this gets back to what we were saying about projection. And let's just leave it at that. I personally, I was shocked when Neil Young and then his Laurel Canyon buddies, including Joni Mitchell,

all got on this same train of attacking Joe Rogan and also attacking me to some extent because it was that context. And by the way, Peter McCullough that preceded me in speaking truth about what was going on. And I was really disappointed in these folk musicians that had been counterculture seemingly during the 60s and 70s.

that I had looked up to, I'd enjoyed their music, I'd believed in their message to a significant extent, and then to see them flip like this in a way that seemed to be tied to their financial interests was really disappointing. But now I kind of feel sorry for Neil Young. Here he is, this aging guy, a lot of the feedback that he got was watching this play on social media,

There was a curious mix of who's Neil Young? And right, that's coming from the younger cohort. And what a disappointment. You know, he's just sold out. And he kind of just destroyed his own legacy. Now, anytime anybody talks about Neil Young, there's going to be a footnote.

uh about what he did during covet and what a shame uh you know i i think the proper way to think about neil young as far as i'm concerned not that there should be a proper but the way i think about him is uh an aging individual who sold his catalog and in all indications are that he also sold his soul

And that's something that you can't buy back. Well, so let me just give you the... Here's the irony of this. Okay. So here's Neil Young. First of all, he pledged $100,000 to the Maestro. That's 100,000 Canadian, which is like 7,000 American. So it's not that big of a deal. But also...

I mean, look at this hippie Neil Young and his causes. I guess he never trusted the man, except here he is trusting the Wade. Except this one thing, he not only trusts the man, but he's going to protest on behalf of the man. That's what Neil, go ahead. Okay, so because we know he doesn't own his catalog and this was not his decision at all.

And he's not the other one. I remember India, Ari Simpson, who was like, oh, I'm a Joe Mitchell too. Yeah. So the, the corporate, whoever the hell BMG is that won't. Yeah. So by the way, with the Nazi past BMG hilarious. Okay. They, that I'm sure they were paying him money to do that because he

He literally can't control where his music is. All these people don't. You think that's a coincidence that all these artists at once, oh, we're taking our stuff off Spotify. The company probably said, hey, we're doing this. Here's a little bonus for you. That's what they do with influencers for...

Joe Biden to ban TikTok. Yes. Trying to pay people. So they didn't have anything to do with it. They don't control shit. They probably had a little money. They paid influencers at the start of the outbreak all across the world.

That's the most stunning, one of the most stunning things I've encountered in my international travels is this happened all across the Western world simultaneously. Yeah. It's not a conspiracy. It's just how business is done. So here's Travis Tritt saying, I couldn't agree more. When Neil Young, David Crosby, and others supposedly pulled their music from Spotify over disinformation, I reported the fact that Young and Crosby had already sold their music catalogs

Wow.

Do you think it is? Is it Joe Rogan is to blame for that? So they had just sold their stuff then that that's, that's what David Crosby said. That's unbelievable.

I mean, I literally destroyed a consulting business that I had built up over 30 years by speaking out about my concerns regarding the jab and particularly about the failure of informed consent, the failure to provide informed consent. And these guys are whining, sitting on all their bucks.

because they've had a downturn in their revenue stream off of Spotify and these other venues. As they sit, you know, at the end of their careers, functionally retired,

having raked in big bucks and spent their entire lives living the high life, living this notoriously degenerate lifestyle. And then they're busy whining. I mean, this is whining. It's whining. It's rationalization. Oh, poor me.

Think about all the poor souls that lost their businesses. Think about all the poor souls that committed suicide. Think about the poor souls that were damaged by these jabs. And these guys are busy whining because their revenue stream from their catalogs is down. Give me a break. We are all Cenk's nephew now. And so here –

Here it is. Neil Young is returning to Spotify two years after leaving over Joe Rogan's vaccine comments. The singer has relented now that the platform is no longer the exclusive home of the Joe Rogan experience. Shaky returns, it says. So this is him being surrounded by COVID spores. I don't know if you know that.

You should. This is actually one of the gentler essays here because you should read the Rolling Stone one. A lot of these essays came out in a way that's clearly propaganda. This is clearly a propaganda push.

probably has something to do with that revenue side of Mr. Young's catalog and the interests of those that own it. Because this is clearly a propaganda push. You had about eight or nine, maybe 10 different media outlets in the United States and the UK pushing out this same story, often with the same language. How many times do we have to see that? And it paints this gentleman, Mr. Young,

As a fighter against misinformation. And the only reason that they don't go in, they didn't never mention Joe Rogan. They never mentioned me. They never mentioned the triggers that caused this. They never mentioned the backstory about him selling his catalog. They just paint him as a fighter on against misinformation. And the justification for why he's done this is the official party line.

is that, well, Rogan in February signed a contract where he's not exclusive to Spotify. He's also on Apple and some other platform. YouTube again. So it no longer makes sense. No longer makes sense to stay off of Spotify because there's no reason to punish Spotify because Rogan is basically all platforms. That's the logic that we're being, this is propaganda. Shouldn't they boycott all of them now?

So no, no, because why? Because that would hurt the revenue stream. That's right. Souls that he sold his catalog to. Well, I mean, an imaginary land where he really had control over any of this.

Or imaginary land where he actually had a soul anymore. Yeah. What if it's just because Neil Young is so old he just forgot about Joe Rogan? Did they do something to him? Did they turn Neil Young into the new Joe Biden? Because that's what it seems like. They need to give him some of Joe's drugs. Yeah. That's what I think. We'll have an angry rocker on our hands. So...

Here, I'll just want to, this is, you wrote a sub stack about this. Yeah. They can have Rogan or Young, not both, which is what Neil Young said. And this is what I just want to read a little bit from your sub stack. You say article after article in legacy media is covering his return, all indicating that he left in protest over misinformation, but never mentioning the Joe Rogan Malone episode in discussing what the claimed misinformation actually consisted of.

And not a single article from any conservative media outlet pushing back against the approved legacy media narrative. No one has asked me for an interview on this topic. Well, we did. Seems like that might be relevant, don't you think? As I was the one evidently spreading the quote misinformation. For me, I'm still banned or shadow banned on many platforms, including a permanent ban on LinkedIn.

State-sponsored media still has no interest in reporting on facts surrounding the pandemic lockdowns, masks, vaccine safety, a corrupted vaccine, preclinical and clinical trials process, adverse events associated with the jab, the corruption of academic journals, including capture by the WEF.

The fact is that the world went crazy and transnational corporations used that season of madness to increase profits and market share.

Not once has Neil Young or Joni Mitchell ever reached out to discuss their concerns. Not that I expected them to. The once rebels have turned into the status quo no better than their fathers or mothers or big government. Will mainstream state sponsored media ever change their spots or do some real reporting?

It appears not. Of course not. And the last thing I'll quote from your sub stack is the deep state, including president Trump. Yeah.

just doubles down on the safe and effective narrative, despite all the evidence to the contrary. This saddens me. An opportunity lost for the science and government to evolve and learn from these public policy mistakes, which have caused a huge amount of suffering and unnecessary loss of life. And of course, I have to remind everybody that the vaccine, the COVID vaccine, is safe and effective. And

And it slows the spread. And it certainly is still right. It doesn't. They actually it doesn't do anything to slow the spread. Well, it certainly does. I can't act into it. Go ahead. Their fallback position is that it reduces the severity of disease and the probability of death. Oh, that's right. Have been true once upon a time. But it's not true with the current variants. And yet, did you know this, Jimmy?

They're now advocating jab number 10. New up to 10? We got to have a jab counter. That's because it's safe. Kurt and I take 8 to 10 boosters for breakfast every day. I bet 15. It is safe and effective. And the CDC and the FDA still say you should get it. Everybody should get their bivalent boosters. And when you say it doesn't slow the spread, I have to correct you, Dr. Malone, even though you're the expert. Yeah.

There are bigger experts than you. Are you a doctor? Did you see Dave Smith? We have to finish. While it doesn't stop the spread, it certainly slows it, and it will keep you from being seriously ill, hospitalized, or dead. That's the beauty of this vaccine. So I'm just bringing you on here to expose that you're wrong about this. If you're on Spotify, I'm never going on Spotify. So I just want to let everybody know that.

We don't give medical advice here, but we have to tell you what the CDC and the FDA say so they don't kick me off YouTube. Okay, now back to Dr. Robert Malone. You want to say something? Yeah. Have you ever talked to Dave Smith, Dr. Malone? I have not. So he was just on a thing on Piers Morgan debating with that imbecile Destiny who said they never claimed it stopped the virus cold.

on national cable TV. Wow. That's unbelievable. How many times have we played those clips of them saying it stops the virus cold? A million times. And now Neil Young has become the hippie movement, to the hippie movement, what disco became to rock and roll. That's what happened to Neil Young. Ha ha ha!

What a metaphor. And I just, Dr. Malone, you have this sweeping faith in human nature, which, you know, rock stars have a whole different set of bills to pay financially, emotionally, spiritually, mentally. The college loan board would seem like a couple's massage spa in comparison to the debts that rockers have to pay. He's dating Daryl Hannah. He's got to do her debt. He's got to. Oh, boy.
