Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

Hey, Jimmy, this is George Clooney. Ah, hey, friend of the show, George Clooney. How are you doing? Jimmy, you old rascal, I am doing fantastic. Just backstage at our production of Good Night and Good Luck, which is opening soon on Broadway. No! No! What?

You can't be... After all the Russiagating you guys just did for 10 years, you're going to do a revival of Good Night and Good Luck? The play that is supposed to expose the McCarthy era? Yeah, and I'm playing Edward R. Murrow. That's why I have my hair dyed. Oh, my God. Well, I got... That's not what this book is about. No, well...

Anyway, okay, well, glad to hear you're doing that. You know, I sat down here in the theater the other day and gave a long interview to Jake Tapper of CNN. You know him. Yeah, you're friends of the show, Jake Tapper. Of course, we all know each other. Movers and shakers like you and me and Taps are just going to simply rebound to rub shoulders. Ah!

But I really let it all out there. And I thought if I'm going to tap dance with Tappity Tapper, I should keep the door open with door and have a chit chat with him, too. Well, I appreciate you thinking of our little mom and pop operation. You two discussed your op ed, right?

Yes, the infamous George Clooney op-ed in the NYT urging Joe Biden to step aside before this country goes belly up like the Poseidon. I'm sorry, George. Are you speaking cool cat again? Well, I just figured I would, seeing as how I'm talking to the coolest of cats. You don't need me to translate, do you? No, I think I got it.

Top shelf, Kimo Sabe. As I told Jake, I felt that writing that was a civic duty, and I certainly received some accolades for my efforts. But as I alluded, some people are still sore at me in the Democratic circles I run in. Yeah, like who? Well, I don't want to be gossipy. It doesn't really matter. That's not the point. The point is you can't please everybody. Come on. Please tell me who.

Jill Biden fucking hates me. Sorry. Dr. Jill Biden. That bird is a hater. Major hater alligator. Not Jill Biden? Jimmy, he doesn't even remember being fucking president. He's not mad about something that was in a newspaper a year ago. Wow.

Oh, yeah. Trust me. Elvis has left the building. Also, I said there should have been a primary to replace him, which makes Kamala Harris not my biggest fan because the implication is clear. She was never going to fucking win. She's a bozo. She ran on identity. And now Trump is president again. Yep.

So let's be real for a second. If we Democrats really want to take a good look at why we lost, I say we all sit down and just stare at a giant wall-sized picture of that ding-a-ling for about two or three hours. Damn.

Just sit there in silence, staring at Kamala Harris, contemplating, reflecting, like a fucking Quaker meeting. Just quietly thinking to ourselves, wow, we thought running her would be a good idea. We actually thought she might be president.

Pretty crazy in retrospect. If we're going to move forward as a party, we need to withstand a little self-flagellation over that, the biggest political mistake in modern fucking history. And then never speak her name again, not once. Wow, that's harsh. Yeah, she doesn't like me either. Yeah, well, then who should the Democrats look to for leadership moving forward? Oh my God, I want to know.

Well, you know, I tossed out the usual suspects, Whitmer, Pritzker, not Gavin Newsom. But as I said to Tappies, one guy levitates over all the others. And who's that? Maryland Governor Wes Moore. This guy is a rising star. He's a dynamic leader. He's young and exciting. I'm all in for Wes Moore. I'm telling you, Jimmy, Wes is more. Why him? Why him?

Because no one has ever fucking heard of him. Right. And that's the key to any real Democratic success. Republicans win when they run a well-known elder statesman. Dems win when they run guys with a major who-the-fuck-is-that-guy factor. Bill Clinton, who the fuck is that guy? Barack Obama, no seriously, who the fuck is that guy? Yeah, I see.

Wes Moore is the ultimate who the fuck is that guy. No name recog whatsoever. Nice looking guy. Generic, racially ambiguous. Likes to go around talking to people. Taking off his sports jacket and rolling up his sleeves. That sleeve thing is mondo important. See, that's what turns the corner. Who the fuck is this guy? I don't know, but he's rolling up his sleeves to talk to us. Let's vote for this guy for president. Whoever the fuck he is. It's that simple. Honestly, this is the most...

On a strategy talk I've ever heard from a Democrat, I think you missed your calling. I think I'm doing fine, Jimmy. Something tells me Paul Begala isn't pulling the quality of tail I am.

I did fuck his wife, though. George! It was a prank. Seriously, though, you are right. Begala, Axelrod, Carville, none of these dinosaurs are doing anyone any favors. They need a pragmatist, and they don't have one. God damn it. Maybe I will do it.

i got the president to resign after all get in there george tell him what's what jimmy this is exactly the kind of pep talk i needed i'm an actor that dabbles in politics to the point where maybe i should do more than dabble i could be a real king maker get your little voice guy to work on a west more because you're going to need it flapjack very exciting

Jimmy, always invigorating. I gotta go. This director is all the way up my ass between you and me. Oh, and I left tickets for you and Steph for Saturday's show because you are friends with George Clooney. Dream come true for any cool cat. And thank you for making this Good Friday a fucking Great Friday. Ciao, baby.

Oh, yeah.

Let's remember that Douglas Murray wrote this book, Neoconservatism and Why We Need It. As true today as it was in 2006. Neoconservatism is what got us the Iraq War, the Afghanistan War, the Libyan War, the Ukraine War, the Syrian War. That's called neoconservatism. Okay.

And so Douglas Murray, coincidentally, for all those wars, even though he's an expert and he has an accent. So he got his ass handed to him and he decided to go to the New York Post, which anyway, he went to the New York Post, which is a joke of a newspaper in New York. But anyway, they don't do all not everything they do is bad.

And they printed an op-ed by him, and it's called Douglas Murray, so-called Israel-Hamas-Ukraine war expert spew false info on Joe Rogan's podcast. There has to be a standard. So the headline is just a lie, and there is no standard in journalism. There's no standard. There has to be a standard. How about you start with a standard for journalism?

Journalism got everything wrong about COVID. They get everything wrong about Russiagate. They get everything wrong about the Iraq war, the Libyan war, the Afghanistan war, and the Ukraine war. They still won't tell people how it started and why. They've got everything wrong.

everything they got the biggest story of their life wrong covid they got ivermectin wrong they got the vaccine transmission contraction wrong they got where the virus came from who funded the virus they got f everything wrong they got lockdowns wrong they got masks wrong there wasn't a thing they didn't get wrong you know got it right joe rogan show joe rogan show you know got russiagate right this show

And you don't have to be an expert to know when someone's lying. You don't have to be an expert to know when the war machine is lying. And all I have to do is use my common sense and my BS detector. And so this is the establishment media and the Zionists losing.

This is the neocons losing the argument, and so they want to shut people up by saying you don't get it right. To say anything, we have to impose some standards. There's no standards when it comes to the establishment corporate journalism. There's zero standards. They lie as they breathe.

They lie, but there isn't a thing they haven't lied about about COVID. There isn't a thing they didn't lie about about Russiagate. There isn't a thing they didn't lie about January 6th. There isn't a thing they haven't lied about when it comes to Ukraine war, the Iraq war, the Libyan war, the Syrian war, the Afghanistan war was 20 years of straight lies as the Afghan papers reveal. So this idea that the corporate media has some sort of standards is a lie. They lied to you about ivermectin. They lied to you about hydroxychloroquine.

There isn't a thing they don't lie about. And they lied to you about Joe Rogan. They lied to you. They colored his face green to make him look sicker than he was when he beat COVID. They lied to you about Dr. Robert Malone. They lied to you about, again, Peter McCullough. They lied about everybody and they smear everybody. The people who are the liars are Dr. Fauci, Peter Hotez, and the corporate media. So he wrote this, and we're just going to go through it. This is what I would call strike three.

for douglas murray so they're scrambling because they know they got exposed they're scrambling and so he runs and writes this thing and again dave dave smith's big argument on joe rogan show was engage me in the argument quit telling me i'm not an expert if i'm not an expert you should be able to wipe the floor with me or teach me something or teach me something so expert

Okay, that's not true. Joe's had on plenty of people. Elon Musk, is there a bigger cuck to Israel than Elon Musk? He's had it up. He had Trump on, for F's sake. Two of the biggest cucks to Israel in the world. Rich Voss gave him a paper mat. He's had on plenty of people.

He's also had on Brett Weinstein. He's had on Eric Weinstein. He's had all these people. So, and I didn't even, that's just off the top of my head. That's just off the top of my head. Oh, how about Gad Saad? He's had on Gad Saad. That's another guy off the top of my head. Thousand percent Zionist. That's how it's pronounced, Gad Saad. However you name it, however. I don't know how you say it. So, and so he's just a lot. So that's just a lot. He starts off.

By arguing for people to tell the truth with a huge lie. Many of the latter, in particular, the latter meaning the anti-Israel, are not just vindictively and maliciously anti-Israel, as opposed to the people who are anti-Hamas and anti-Palestine. Okay. But have been spewing claims that are demonstrably false. Well, then show us the claims that they're spewing. Quit saying that's all they do.

I know for a fact Dave Smith ain't malicious, and Ian Carroll, I've never seen him say anything remotely. In fact, they all have qualifiers out the ass before they tell you these things. That's right. So get back to this. He says many are also people who are simply in no way expert is what they are talking about. Well, Douglas, you're not an expert in anything. You have an undergraduate degree in English lit, and you got every war wrong. You're not an expert on anything. You're wrong about Iraq. You're wrong about Ukraine.

You're wrong about? Could you look up, Steph, to see if Douglas Murray, he was pro-Libya and pro-Syria. I bet he was. I'm going to bet 1,000% he was. One of these is comedian who goes by the name of Dave Smith. Why do you want to make people hate you even more by talking in such a condescending manner? He goes by the name? How about one of these is comedian Dave Smith? He goes by the name. He usually says he is.

Is he suggesting that Dave, like Bibi Netanyahu, has four different social security numbers with four different names? Are you suggesting, Douglas, that just like every Israeli prime minister changed their name to sound less European because they're not from Israel? Because they're not from the region? Every Israel prime minister has changed their name. So you don't know that they're actually European and they're not Semites.

Claiming some Jewish ancestry. Claiming some Jewish ancestry. You mean he claimed? You wouldn't say that about anybody else claiming some Jew. He doesn't claim his mother and father are Jewish. Like Bill Maher? Bill Maher is half Jewish.

Even Bill Maher. He doesn't meet the rules, but his dad was Jewish. His mom was Catholic. If your mom was Jewish. Yeah, Dave Smith, more Jewish than Bill Maher. But he would never say that about Bill Maher. He would never say Bill Maher, who claimed some Jewish ancestry. He would never say that. Bill Maher's mother, Catholic. He's trying to make it like Dave Smith's or Whoopi Goldberg. Yes, exactly. He has spent the 18 months since October 7th being very unfunny indeed. What? What? What?

Indeed. Indeed. You've never been. Have you ever been to one of his comedy shows? Never? You've never been? Yeah. I have the courtesy to have been to his comedy show. The courtesy. So according to this, according to Grok, Douglas Murray has been nuanced when it came to Libya. There's no nuance. So he was wrong about it.

His writings and public statements provide insight into Jews, often shaped by his broader... And the rise of... He's concerned about the rise of Islamism. Let's break it down. He has not directly stated a pro-war stance on Libyan intervention, but critics have accused him of downplaying or whitewashing the consequences of Western involvement. In his book, The Strange Death of Europe, Immigration Identity, Murray discussed the migration waves into Europe, including... Yeah, that were triggered by the Libyan War.

Anyway, so, okay, so he's, yes. So specifically he has decided, this is back to the article, specifically Dave Smith had decided to spend his time going around the, by the way, so he's been very funny, unfunny indeed. Have you ever been to one of his comedy shows? You've never been? Wouldn't you at least have the courtesy to attend one of his comedy shows? If you're going to opine on his comedy saying it's unfunny indeed? You've never been? Where's my fainting couch?

You've never been to Dave's stand-up shows? Specifically, he has decided to spend his time going around the podcast world sounding off about Israel. He has a job called podcasting that he made a successful show that people like. Jerk off. Nobody even read your stupid book about why we need neoconservatism. That's why I had to...

Dig it up and repost it now. In the process, he largely cites people like him. People who have many views but no obvious expertise. Well, I always cite Norman Finkelstein, who's a scholar and a Jew. A Jewish scholar. And I also, Chris Hedges, who's also a scholar, who lived in Gaza, who's been there and reported there. He was Middle East for years and years. That's who I quote all the time. So, again, that's another lie.

People like Daryl Cooper, who says he isn't a historian, yet has been invited onto some of the world's biggest podcasts as a historian. Did someone call him that besides Douglas Murray? Because they claim to be experts. I've never heard Dave Smith say I'm an expert. In fact, he says quite the opposite. I'm still not clear on why expert means you can't ask an expert to answer a goddamn question. That's right. I thought I'm supposed to have dumb questions, and an expert, because they're not dumb, has the answer.

So here I'm not aware of this thing that I can't talk about it. Well, here's where he punches himself right in the dick as hard as he could.

He says another such figure from the world of comedy who was changing his shape to fit the time is Rogan guest Ian Carroll. So I guess there's no standards at the New York Post because that's a complete lie. Ian Carroll is not from comedy. He's not a comedian. He sells T-shirts. He's not a comedian. He's just a podcaster and an Instagram guy and a Twitter guy. That's what he is. He's a conspiracy theorist guy who is very interesting and gets a lot of stuff right.

So, 100% wrong right there. Where's your standard? Did you even look up Ian Carroll? You've never looked him up? Have you ever been to his website? You've never been? You never had the courtesy? Wouldn't you do the courtesy? It's very strange.

This is someone who, when he last went on Rogan's podcast, very carefully tried to minimize the evil of Adolf Hitler. He's making that up. That didn't happen again. How did he do that? So there's no standards. So this guy who wants standards has absolutely no standards and gets everything wrong, even in his article about having standards. He didn't he didn't do that.

Ian should never be booked as a comedian again, I say. I say. Outrageously and completely falsely, Carroll claimed that in the 1930s, Hitler had kept his anti-Semitism down. He didn't do that. Ian Carroll didn't do that. Why is he saying? He's conflating what's that guy's name? Daryl Cooper. And he's lying about what Daryl Cooper said. That's not what Daryl Cooper said.

I'm not defending or... Darryl Cooper, I'm just letting you know that's not what he said. Yeah, well, I mean, I suspected it wasn't because it's very low on details. But anyway, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Ian Carroll didn't say that. Doesn't matter. That's not what Ian Carroll said. That's why it doesn't matter. A provable false claim that Rogan did nothing to counter. All these men have also... By the way, there's lots of historians, actual historians...

who say that uh anyway all these men have also been palling around online with holocaust deniers and proud anti-semites like jack jake shields so what is that what's that called that's called guilt by association again another smarmy sleazy scuzzy underhanded tactic that is not an argument that's what people who don't have arguments do that's what people who get everything wrong do

They use arguments and tactics like that. Two weeks ago, Rogan on his mate, Dave Smith, on Yet Again for a long podcast. They're all three hours. All of Joe's shows are three hours. But for my return to the show, the deal was that I could come on only if Dave Smith was once again in the studio, as if Joe didn't want to be unaccompanied.

No, Joe doesn't have knowledge about the shit you're about to spew. So he brought someone on who does have knowledge. It's called cutting out the middleman, Douglas. So you could talk to any of the guys and Joe could learn. So you're upset that Joe doesn't have people on to push back against people. But when he does have someone on to push back against you, somehow that's out of bounds. Isn't that interesting?

And you're the expert. So why couldn't you wipe the floor with that non-expert Dave Smith? Because you're not an expert and you're wrong about everything. There isn't a thing you haven't been wrong about. Okay. He might have been right about COVID. I think he might have been right about that. Really? I think he might have been. And he was good in the monk debates when he was with Matt Taibbi. Mm-hmm. But everything else. He goes, I like a debate.

Or that Joe thought it was I, of all his guests, who must be challenged. So Joe should challenge other people, just not me. But it's really not about you. It was about the Gaza situation. That's right. You know, like it wasn't like a thing to get Douglas Murray. It was because he thought highly of Douglas Murray, too. Well, I guess up until this. Up until this. I like a debate just as much as the next Scotsman. But what resulted was more than a debate. It seemed to have led to some kind of podcast world meltdown. No, it didn't.

It turned out to be you melting down and writing bullshit articles like this, going on Bill Maher lying and everybody else lying that you did a good job on Joe Rogan when you obviously got your ass handed to you by a comedian because you didn't want to engage in any of the arguments. The meltdown was on your side.

So this is this is, again, accuse the other person of exactly what you're guilty of. The first reason was that from the outset, I challenged Joe on his choice of guests and why he had been giving a platform to only one side of a debate and a very conspiratorial one at that. OK, we already debunked that. That's not true. He and Smith were immediately defensive. But the real problem came when I raised the issue of expertise.

Because as I had said then and have said often, we have lived through a period when the experts have gotten an awful lot of things wrong. Yeah, like everything. Most of the things. From the COVID lab leak to the Hunter Biden laptop, we have lived through years after which distrust of experts have become inevitable. So what this is called is this is called a limited hangout.

So when you're caught, when the experts have been exposed for being liars and wrong about everything, you admit to some of it. And that's what this is. He's admitting to some of it.

In order to try to give himself some credibility when he says the next line. Yet that doesn't mean that expertise does not exist. That's called a straw man. No one is claiming that expertise does not exist. There's no such thing as that, Jimmy. That's like Bigfoot. Yes, straw men. So that's called a straw man. No one's arguing that point. So again, he won't ever engage in actual arguments. And then he creates straw men to argue against. That's one of them.

It does not mean that a comedian can simply hold himself out as a Middle East expert. Dave does not do that. That's another straw man. Straw man, straw man, wrong about everything. This is the way Douglas Murray argues and should be listened to as if he has any body of work. Don't need to have a body of work to have an opinion. His body of work is better than yours, Doug. That's right. His body of work actually turns out to be better than Douglas Murray's body of work. His body of work is that we need neoconservatism. What are you talking about?

It does not mean that someone who says they are not a historian but who practices false history should be cited as a historian. This point seems to rile both Smith and Rogan. You mean that you're making shit up? Yeah. Practices false history? What does that mean? Again, all he does is make accusations about what people are doing. He never engages in the arguments.

It appears to have riled their audiences even more. Yeah, because if you look at the comment section of Joe Rogan's episode with you, every single one of them hated your guts and saw through you. Because many people seem to think that what I mean is that they are not allowed to have an opinion. That is wrong. I think they are. No, I think that, no, you're wrong. You're just not allowed to tell anyone. Yeah, they're not allowed to go on shows and talk about it.

You can have an opinion. Just keep it to yourself. Keep it inside. Certainly don't go on a podcast and say that. And say it. The thing you think. It's just that... It's just...

It's just that there should be a price to pay for spreading bullshit. Yeah, and you're paying that price right now because you're the one who spread bullshit about the Iraq war, about the Israeli-Gaza conflict, about Ukraine, and about your debate on Joe Rogan's. You're the one spreading the bullshit, and you're paying a price for it right now. And, of course, you do that thing. You accuse the person, your opponent, of the thing you're guilty of.

You know, Jimmy, I would have liked to hear his bullshit about Gaza, and they never got to it. That's right. Because we had to listen to his other bullshit. And part of that price that you have to pay is that you should be called out. Well, people are calling you out. That's what's happening. Oh, what a price. If I had gone on Rogan's podcast and held myself out as an expert in MMA fight, this is the worst analogy ever.

I suspect he would have noticed if I had kept making mistake after mistake and shown ignorance piled upon ignorance. I think he'd say, hey, you don't seem to be very knowledgeable about this. And he'd be right. Yes. Guess what you didn't do? You didn't go on and exhibit your expertise as Joe would have in an argument with you about MMA.

Joe would have exhibited is he would he wouldn't have to keep saying that I'm an expert and you're not. He would have just exhibited his expertise and revealed you as knowing nothing. You didn't do that to Dave Smith. You didn't do you. You did. Dave Smith didn't make a mistake after mistake after mistake. And you weren't because you didn't expose him for making those mistakes because you're not an expert and you're an expert in being wrong about it.

So why is it hard to grasp that something similar applies in other areas? Because that's all bullshit what you just said. If you have expertise, you don't go around telling people I have expertise. You exhibit your expertise and everyone sees it. Just like Brian Regan doesn't have to tell people he's funny. He just goes up and he's funny and everyone sees it. So, uh...

In bigger rings and more important fights, having spent most of the last 18 months in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine, I don't think I know everything. I'm paid not to. Yeah, because you're paid not to, and you're being dog-walked around Israel and Gaza by the IDF. You're given a Potemkin village view of what's actually happening there. And who are you talking to? You're talking to victims of October 7th. You're talking to the IDF soldiers. Talked to any Palestinians, did you?

Talk to anybody from Hamas. But I think I know a darn sight more than someone like comic Dave Smith who admitted he's never been to the region. Never been to the region. He spends all of his time talking about. Wait a minute. I admit I'm not. Why don't you share some of that expertise with us? That's what I was hoping. Again, there's no expertise he's revealing in this op-ed. I have no idea if you know more than Dave. Tell me any of what you know. Nothing. Nothing.

Oh, so you have to go to a country to comment on it, do you, said part of the Internet. Again, the answer is obviously not. So he keeps saying two things at once. But if your job or you're making it your job, then probably yes. So he just contradicted himself. I mean, you can't make this stuff up because he doesn't have an argument. And by the way, this isn't Dave's job. Dave's job is being a comedian and hosting a podcast.

uh if i filed columns broke you down for a hobby dude it wasn't his job right his hobby and he was able to run right through you if i filed columns for this paper pretending to be an expert on countries i'd never been to i would expect my readers to complain as they should if i filed columns about a war zone from the safety of west palm beach i think it would be fraud journalism has had its

Okay, no, that's not. He even said himself there are people who weren't in the Holocaust who have written better about the Holocaust than people who were there. I don't have to go to Vietnam to write about Vietnam. I don't have to go to Nazi Germany to write about it. I don't have to go to Gaza to write about Gaza. This is another straw man.

Hey, you know what? Let's give him that one. My bad. Next time, we'll all go there first. Any thoughts on the actual thing, though? Any thoughts on the actual thing? Still no thoughts on the actual thing. And by the way, over 200 journalists have gone to Gaza. And guess what? The Israelis killed them.

Yeah, they didn't suffer a podcast meltdown. That's right. They got killed by the Israelis. Over 200 journalists. The courtesy to be killed by the Israelis. Journalism has had its own meltdown in recent years. More limited hangout. But it doesn't mean we don't have standards. You don't have standards. This article is proof there's no standards. You get everything wrong after everything wrong. You present zero argument. You have no standards.

This is all you straw man people. You get facts completely wrong. Ian Carroll's not a comedian, and he didn't say the things you said he said. He's an influencer. That's all he is, is an influencer. That's it. Nothing else. Not an expert. And you're not an expert on anything. You have an undergraduate degree in English lit. And as we've learned through Russiagate, as we've learned through COVID, as we've learned through the Ukraine war, journalism has zero standards.

It's flat out propaganda. There's a book called Manufacturing Consent by a guy who's actually an expert, by two guys, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky. And they, before the consolidation of corporate media,

They let people know that the media is there not to inform you, give you facts. The corporate media is there to manufacture consent from the governed for the policies of the oligarchs. That's what corporate media. That's why we have a show. That's why Joe Rogan's show is popular. That's why the gray zone has a show because corporate media has no standards and they're there to manufacture consent.

Much though that might amaze some people, I am amazed that you pretend that corporate media has standards. And if they do have standards, what are those standards? He doesn't tell you. Just like he doesn't argue anything or tell you what Dave Smith got wrong. Oh, now you're a standards expert? What the standards are in the new media, especially on podcasts, is being worked out.

There are no standards. People get to say what they want. You know what the antidote to bad speech is? More speech. But there must be some. There must be some standards in podcasts. What he's implying there is there must be some censorship.

That's how I read that. You might read it differently, but that's what that is. But there must be some kind of censorship on guys like Joe Rogan and guys like Dave Smith and guys like Jimmy Dore. You mean the guys who got everything right during COVID and Russiagate? Yeah. Otherwise, the new media will lead people into errors and evils far greater than the old media could ever dream of. I don't think there's a bigger. There's never there's no bigger evil than the Iraq war.

There's no bigger evil than the Syrian war. There's no bigger evil than the Ukraine war. And currently there's no bigger evil than the mass slaughter of children in Gaza. No podcaster ever led to a war that slaughtered a million people. What's that? Evil's like not bombing Iran on behalf of Israel. So that's strike three for Douglas Murray. And I just couldn't let this article go without debunking it.

You have no standards, Douglas Murray. That's why you're allowed to print bullshit articles in the New York Post, because they have no standards. You have no standards. The corporate media has zero standards, which is why shows like this exist. There was nothing to debunk. He didn't even offer any bunk. He offered no bunking. There's no argument. He didn't argue an argument.

What are you supposed to debug? He's just he's just I should have to be on with him. Dave Smith. He's just so cold. He's upset that other people get to have opinions on podcasts. That's all he's upset about. And he thinks they shouldn't. But then he says, but that's not what I'm saying. I think they should. But then they should get called out for the bullshit. We'll call them out for their bullshit. What did they get wrong?

Boy, you're really blaspheming. It's very Islamic of him. You know, he goes, I don't need to revisit an argument. It's already been settled by experts. That's an Islamic saying. Only a fool goes looking for more knowledge when he already has all the knowledge. That's Douglas Murray being Islamist. In fact, this new Ayatollah of speech idea he's got is also very Islamist.

They're admitting, finally, under the guise of we're doing research, they're going to have to do experiments to dim the sun.

Given green light by the UK government because... What could go wrong? It's great news for the UK because you know how they're always getting too much sun in the UK. It's sunny old England, as they say. We need to bog up the complexion. How are you going to know the experiment's working? I mean, if there was one major complaint about the United Kingdom, it's that they get way too much sunshine.

Yeah. I mean, how was Jack the Ripper supposed to sneak around and kill anybody on a bright, sunny day? Am I right? That's true. Time for day killing. What is the raincoat company supposed to do now? Switch to London SPF? Is that what they're going to do? What's good? Come on. So, you know, this is going to they're doing this with aluminum. You know, they're spraying aluminum. We already. So there's that. That's how they do this.

But I mean, why are they? Here's my question. So they concur. They control. By the way, this weather control thing is not again. It's one of those things like you're saying, oh, Jimmy, come on. The vaccine safe and effective. The weather control thing is real.

Did you know that the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad went on the floor of the UN and said that they were creating famine in his country? They were controlling the weather, but it never got that never got reported in the United States, did it?

I did hear it and I was like, oh, that's something stupid. But at the time, I was unaware that we have a treaty signed in the 70s to not use weather weapons. So if we didn't have that, we wouldn't have a treaty about it. There was no nuclear treaty before nukes. Scientists are planning on dimming the sun in a bid to curb global warming again with this global warming.

It all starts... When do you start measuring global warming? They like to start in the late 1800s. We're actually in a cooling period right now. If you look... It just depends on where you start counting from. There used to be ice all the way covering all of North America. There used to be ice everywhere. How about before you do this? And that all went away before we started burning oil. That all went away before we started burning oil. That's how we got the Great Lakes.

So this feels very much like a scam. Go ahead, Steph. I'm just going to say, how about before we start dimming the sun, why don't we just cure worldwide hunger? Yeah, how about that? I think we're going to cause more of it. Also, all the people that can't believe something could have happened with that Malaysian plane, they're planning on dimming the sun. Yes. What are you talking about? Look at the things you're looking at.

The UK government is set to announce funding of up to 50 million pounds of funding for sun dimming experiments in the coming weeks. Let me tell you something. They're already... I'm going to cover this more on Friday. The controversial technology aims to reflect sunshine back into the atmosphere, which could help to temporarily limit rising temperatures. And it's going to screw up natural cloud formation.

It's going to screw up the weather. It's screwing, but they're already doing that. How's it going to affect plant life? Yes. You know how plants like being sprayed with aluminum and salt? They say they're just doing it with salt. Believe me, they're spraying aluminum. Well, I know the aluminum part of that, and they've been doing it for quite some time, by the way. Yes. So that they can do that global 3D mapping.

that's what that layer of aluminum allows them to do is map the entire area when they do it. And that's from a long time ago. I don't know now what they're doing. I know Dubai had those floods because they were doing this. Your brain would have to be in any for you to think this is a good idea.

Well, I don't think it's for the reason they're saying, just because I don't feel like that's, oh, the UK has been really heating up. I don't think it really has. And it's always cloudy. So why on earth would you be doing that there? Why would you? It doesn't make sense. It comes as the National Environment Research Council, NERC, which is one letter away from NERD, announced on April 3rd that it will invest 10 million pounds of new funding to study these solar radiation management schemes.

Wow. According to Professor Mark Symes, the program director for the government's advanced research and invention funding agency known as ARIA, there would be a small controlled outdoor experiments on particular. But they're already doing this. Yeah, they're already doing this. These experiments could include injecting aerosols into the atmosphere or brightening clouds to reflect the sunlight. What could go wrong?

What could go wrong? And of course, this small experiment is just going to involve the entire population. Yeah. You know, these are science people. These are the kind of science guys that sank Atlantis. Those kind of guys. Do you remember they were out, wait, Jimmy, they were advertising. There was some startup that was advertising doing something with mirrors just like that in space where you could order sunlight to the area you wanted. You know, like it's late at night. It was like an app they were promising with a satellite. Really?

So right away, and that was a while ago. No, I don't think they really had the tech to do that. I think that was a thing that, but it was from a year or two ago. So I doubt it's anything to do with climate change, but how much you want to bet you're going to be able to buy sunlight or they're going to giveth and taketh away the light when you need to grow crops if you're not doing what they want. Remember nitrogen? They had to get the nitrogen away.

It was just to take over all the food? Yes, that's right. So they could take over the Dutch farms. There was too much nitrogen. How about I turn the sun off for your stupid farm and then you sell it to me? How about that? And then one day they can charge us for sunlight. Imagine if you... I saw them bring this up on Redacted. Imagine if they... You just listened to the government and you were a good little boy and you covered your property with solar panels and now they're going to dim...

The sun. The sun. Because it needs direct sunlight. It's not just any sunlight. Your solar panel needs direct sunlight. It's cloudy, you're effed. The professor says, we will be announcing who we have given funding to in a few weeks. And when we do so, we'll be making clear when any outdoor experiments might be taking place. It's already taking place.

I think they did in California last year. One of the missing pieces in this debate was physical data from the real world. Models can only tell us so much. I mean, the models about climate change that have proven to be wrong consistently. You mean those models? Yeah, which I don't know how they think they can model that.

We have strong requirements around the length of time experiments can run for and their reversibility, and we won't be funding the release of any toxic substances to the environment. Last year was the hottest year on record. Since when? Becoming the first year for the average temperatures to exceed the threshold of 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures. Again, January 2025 was also the warmest on record.

with an average global temperature hitting 13.23 Celsius, 1.75 Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Okay. How did they melt all that ice during the Ice Age? How hot was it for it to... How did that happen? I don't know the model. I need a computer model. The 1.5 Celsius threshold is a target established in the Paris Agreement in 2015...

Where a bunch of people flew private jets to Paris so they could figure out how to fix climate change. Believe me, they're not going to outlaw private jets. You know who else is cheering this on? You know who's cheering this on? Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos from their 450-foot yachts with six diesel engines in them. They're also cheering this on. Yes, dim the sun. So I...

The owner of a bridal party space cock is telling you, you should get less sun. Barack Obama goes to Africa, tells people in Africa, you can't have air conditioning in cars because the planet will overheat. And then he gets on a private plane, flies back to his beachfront property. And then he flies to his other beachfront property in Hawaii, where he's building an illegal seawall, which they got a cutout for. Hmm.

Because seawalls erode the beach down the road. But they got it. So he's buying. Isn't it funny to people who believe in oceans rising and climate change? Keep flying around the world in private jets, buying beachfront property like John Kerry, like Barack Obama, like Bill Gates, like Jeff Bezos, like Mark Zuckerberg. Isn't that interesting? Reptile people. Reptile people. I mean, it kind of just proved it.

If in a world within the 1.5 Celsius threshold, believe me, they're never going to stop. They're never going to say, hey, maybe we should close the 900 military. The number one emitter of carbon as an organization in the world is

Guess what it is? It's the U.S. military. No one ever, ever says, hey, maybe we should close those 900 military bases. Maybe we shouldn't blow up the Nord Stream pipeline. So the same people telling me about climate change being real are the same people urging more war, more military bases, more private jet travel, more private yacht travel, more beachfront properties, and more blowing up of the Nord Stream pipelines.

I don't see a disconnect. Do you see a disconnect there at all? I see one. I mean, not if you're run by like a secret ancient order of vampires that want to rule the night by day. What is the motive here? They're going to tackle climate change. Are you going to tackle it by closing 900 military bases and stop blowing up Nord Stream Pipeline? No. Are you going to tackle it by one private jet flight emits more carbon than my car does in my lifetime?

You're going to get rid of the 450-foot yachts, which is 150 foot bigger than a football field, that use four giant diesel engines? You're going to get rid of that? No! But I got to have an electric stove and drive a scooter and eat bugs and live in a 15-minute city. Yeah.

Wait, aren't they clearing out the rainforest to make a highway? They literally just cut down a big swath of the Amazon rainforest so they could put in a road so they could have a conference about fighting climate change. It's private, too. No one can use it who lives there. Yep. You don't feel like a sucker?

You don't feel like a sucker that they're literally clearing the Amazon rainforest so they can put in a road so they can have a conference. They can't have a conference in a city that already exists. Greenhouse. So...

In a world within the 1.5 Celsius threshold, experts say that many of the deadliest effects of climate change, extreme heat, food scarcity, and insect-borne diseases are reduced. Greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide are thrown into the atmosphere by human activities and are key drivers of climate change. It also greens the planet. They don't tell you that. It also greens the planet. The planet is way greener than it was 10 years ago.

You said it was going to be a desert, not way greener than... When I was a kid, the forest was almost all gone. That's right. That's what I was told. And now the world, the entire world is way greener. Scientists are increasingly worried that carbon dioxide levels aren't falling fast enough to prevent catastrophic global warming. They said after they get out of their private jet, after they cleared more Amazon rainforest so they can have their climate change meeting.

with the collapse of ocean currents and giant ice sheets becoming a looming threat. The uncomfortable truth is that our, you know, most of the Earth's lifetime, there weren't polar, the uncomfortable truth is that our current warming trajectory makes a number of such tipping points distinctively possible over the next century. This has driven increased interest in approaches that might actively cool the world in a short time frame in order to avoid these tipping points.

The tipping points, none of them happen. Look, I really don't need to be told any more about the history of Jack shit because I've been alive long enough to watch them prophesy the end of the world that didn't come more times than crazy religious people ever have. They predicted the end more than beating kooks. So shut up. I don't believe you. John Kerry was saying there's going to have ice free summers in the Arctic. Didn't happen. He said that like 20 years ago.

Oh, yeah. When he supposedly went to Antarctica to check the damage, he just didn't go to the climate thing. Instead, he'd go to Antarctica to check the measurement of how damaging it is. The experiments, therefore, aim to provide critical data needed to properly assess the potential of the sun-dimming technology. One major area of research...

which includes stratospheric aerosol injection, where tiny particles are released into the stratosphere from airplanes and reflect light back into space. They've been doing this forever. Everybody who mocked someone about chemtrails should apologize. Another potential solution is marine cloud brightening, in which boats would release sea salt particles into the sky to increase clouds' ability to reflect sunlight. You know how plants love to be covered in salt?

That's good for plants. A third eye. I've been salting the earth, but have you ever salted the sky? Isn't it amazing? None of these ideas are we ban private jet travel, end war, stop blowing up Nord Stream pipelines, close down the 900 military bases. The number one emitter of carbon in the U.S. military. Nobody ever mentions doing that. Doesn't seem like an emergency, does it? What's that? Doesn't seem like an emergency, does it? Does it? If they're not talking about that. No. No.

In fact, they're all talking about even more oil. A third idea is Barack Obama bragged that they extracted more oil out of the United States when he was president than ever before. The number one oil extraction president was President Obama. He bragged about it. A third idea is seeding Syria. Joe Biden opened up the Arctic to drilling.

A third idea is seeding cirrus clouds in the upper atmosphere to allow more heat to escape into space. However, the topic of geoengineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the Earth's climate system, remains controversial. You think? As some scientists argue that these techniques could have serious unintended consequences on things like food production. You think? No. Is it? Okay. Could it be any worse than artificially cocking up viruses?

According to Professor Symes, no toxic substances would be released into the environment. Oh, really? They also told me that the vaccine was safe and effective. They released that into you. And they put that into you. They also told me that two weeks to flatten the curve, that masks work. They also told me that lockdowns were great, that there was science behind social distancing. They told me all those things. ♪♪

You know, the good news is that according to the latest Pew poll, the majority of Americans are now holding unfavorable views of Israel as opposed to just a few years ago. It was 70 percent was favorable and now it's majority unfavorable. More than 53 percent. Yes. According to the Pew poll,

53% of Americans now express an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 42% in March of 2022. That was before the October 7th Hamas-Zelensky attack. Young Republicans, those under the age of 50 especially, are now more likely to have an

unfavorable view of Israel, with 50% polling in that direction. The gap underscores the rise of popular alternative conservative media voices like Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, who have been more open to challenging Israel. Jewish Americans have been moving away from Israel in recent years. This trend picked up over domestic differences

within Israel over the country's Supreme Court, but has been turbocharged since the war in Gaza erupted. However, at least 73% of Jewish Americans still hold a favorable view of Israel, and after them, white evangelicals hold the highest favorable view of Israel at 72%. Notably, more white Protestants and Catholics now hold

unfavorable views of Israel at 50% and 53% respectively. Muslim Americans hold the strongest unfavorable views with 81% against and just 19% viewing Israel favorably, just 3%

said he was favoring Palestinians too much, meaning Benjamin Netanyahu, with the highest chunk of respondents, 37%, saying they were unsure. More than half of Americans think that a two-state solution cannot be found for Israel and an independent Palestinian state to coexist peacefully, while 46% still think it can be done. Now, do you think...

I've heard someone say, so it's been a big shift over the last 10 years now to where the majority of even the GOP under 50 years old are negative on Israel, and the majority of Americans are now negative on Israel. Where do you see this going in 10 years? Is the support for Israel going to collapse? I think that Israel has normalized itself.

You see, Israel had benefited because of historical facts like the Nazi Holocaust, but also the exploitation of those facts by the Israel lobby, including and especially its domestic constituent, the American Jews. It had covered Israel with an aura of being somehow different.

that you couldn't hold Israel to the same standards as any other country because of the history and because of the exploitation of that history. I think in the last 10 or 15 years, and especially since October 7th, Israel has normalized itself. That is to say, people are no longer willing, despite the historical fact,

and despite the exploitation of the Nazi Holocaust, because of the horror that has unfolded, people are no longer willing to hold Israel to a separate standard. It's now, they're Israelis. It's not the Holocaust. It's not the aura

It's just there are Israelis like any other state. There's Israel, there's a Germany, there's a France, there's a Somalia. It's just like any other state. That state happens to be committing genocide and we're not going to support it. So it's become a normal state and a normal state that commits genocide, you don't support it.

You don't support a normal state that commits genocide. And now that Israel has been normalized, people are reacting on what they see. And what they see is unbearable. It was interesting for me the other day, I was on the Katie Halper show, and she brought up on the screen, it was Chuck Schumer speaking on The View, okay? And he's promoting his new book, Anti-Semitism in America. And then he says,

A lot of people don't take the attacks on Jews seriously, you know, the claim that there's a new anti-Semitism in the US. He says, but you don't understand. Every Jew carries on his back 5,000 years of Jewish suffering. And you could just see the women on the panel

if I can use the expression, rolling their eyes inside. They're not going to do it with their heads erect. But uh-oh, he's starting with that again? It was striking to me how tone deaf he was. He doesn't understand that that just doesn't play anymore, that that just doesn't work its magic like it used to.

He doesn't understand the face of what's happening now in Gaza. Maybe that's not the right tune to be playing. And the other thing that struck me was, you know, the difference in age between me and Chuck Schumer is only four years. But it was as if he were 90 years old. He's playing, he's reading from a playbook that says,

is, oh, it doesn't work anymore. And that's what I think the polls show. Israel has normalized itself as a state, and this normal state happens to be committing genocide. And just like we don't like other states that commit genocide, we don't like this state.
