Go to JimmyDore.com for the link for the cheapest tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Hey, Jimmy. What's up, man? How's it going? It's Joe Biden. Ah, well, well. Hello there, Mr. Ex-President, or should I say former president, or how does this work?
You know what? Just call me Joe. It's always cool, man. We've done the formal thing too long, you and me. Too long. Let's just keep it cash from here on out. Okay. All right, Joey. Sounds good. Also, it sounds like you're in a pretty good mood. Yeah, you can say that. I don't know if you heard, but I just signed with fucking CAA, man. Yes, yes. So, yeah, I'm in a pretty fucking good mood.
Pretty goddamn stoked, to be honest. Well, that's... Congratulations, Joe. Thanks, man. Thanks. Hey, I've been meaning to ask you, who are you with? Who am I with? Your agent. Who's your agency? Well, I'll just say I have good representation at the moment.
Oh, good, man, because that's key. A lot of people like to say you don't need representation anymore because it's a DIY world and has been for like a decade. Like, there's literally no barrier to content creation anymore or distribution with YouTube and social media shit. The days of the gatekeepers are fucking over, man, like dinosaurs.
but it's still important to have a good agent, in my opinion. Because, like, yeah, the changes in the industry, you know, they've made the old rules obsolete, but the good ones have new rules that are valuable, and they've changed with the times. You need that, trust me. God damn, this is good shit. Yeah, no, I haven't had a Hollywood agent for...
Since my show took off, so I don't need an agent or a manager. Well, I could use a manager, actually. Yeah, me. But no, I have a personal appearance agent. That's someone who books my tour. That's really all I have. It's all I really need. Nice. Yeah, but let's back it up there a bit. Why are you signing with a talent agency, Joe? Are you entering the entertainment industry?
Well, yeah, how hard could it be? I mean, you did well. Oh, gee, gee, thanks, Joe. Look, man, I don't have as long, I don't have a long-ass time like Obama did to start accumulating massive wealth. I'm going to die soon, so I've got to make that scratch now. Yeah. And there's one place and one place only to cash in on fame and make shameless money instantly. Hollywood, baby. Okay. All right, I see.
So I need to come out to L.A. with my presidentships, go all in, win big in show business, and cash out as soon as I can. That's the plan. Well, what's your plan? What entertainment endeavors are you and your people contemplating? Well, we're considering a number of projects right now, actually. But in the meantime, you know, reality TV's not off the table. Believe it or not, we had a sit-down with the producers of The Osbournes.
They felt they could really reproduce the vibe and the success with the Bidens. And it makes sense. I'm out of it. Jill is always up my fucking ass about something. And I have a son who's a crackhead. And obviously we could all sort of play that up more for the camera. Play that up more. Yeah, you know, like turn it up a notch. Yeah, I hear you.
Also, cameos as myself, huge cash grab. Yeah. You know, comedy movie, cut away to Joe Biden, eat an ice cream cone. Man, what an asshole. One line, like a million dollars. And, you know, obviously going on podcasts and then start my own podcast. What would your podcast be? What do you mean? I mean, what would be the subject or focus of your podcast?
You know, everyone asks me that. And honestly, the question itself sort of harshes my mellow a little bit. I honestly don't think you need a plan, you know, or at least at first. I mean, I think what we do is we get me and a few other dudes wearing hoodies and beanies just sitting around talking about whatever, you know, no rules, no holds barred, just stream of consciousness. And just like over time, the theme will kind of organically come about.
And then that's the pod. Work for Comptown. Well, sounds like your prospects are good. Yeah, man. I'm honestly pretty fucking stoked about everything. God damn it. What's wrong?
Man, I'm on fucking Wilshire right now, and it's the middle of afternoon, and it's like I haven't moved in fucking 10 minutes. Traffic is fucking insane, man. Is it always like this? It can be. So you're in town right now.
Yeah, dude, you want to meet up somewhere? How long would it take you to get to Santa Monica from where you are? Like 10, 15? Yeah, in a helicopter. Thanks, Joe. But I'm doing a show right now. Did you move here to Los Angeles?
No, not technically, but I'm taking like three weeks and doing an intensive L.A. thing, you know, just kind of focused on FaceTime. Like tonight I'm going down to the Improv on Melrose. I don't have a spot, but the last time I was there, Dave Rath told me he wasn't looking to put anyone on his roster at the moment, but he would definitely help me out if he could. So tonight I'm just going to go and hopefully run into him and see if he can pull any strings for me while I'm in town.
And you know, just having lunches and meetings and stuff. And beyond that, I'm all about the hang right now. - Sounds like you're really having the LA experience. - You bet I am. Everyone talks about how LA sucks, but those people probably aren't grinding or just have negative vibes. The energy in this town's amazing right now. - Yeah. - Hey man, do you think you could hook me up with any meetings?
Get me spotted at the Comedy Magic Club, maybe? Sorry, Joe. I'm afraid I can't really do that right now. In fact, I think I probably better go. I gotta go. Take care. Oh, okay. You too, man. Catch you on the flip-flop. It's cool knowing that you're out here, man. We'll meet up soon. I'll circle back around. Okay. Bye then. Okay. All right. Goddamn fucking go!
Come see us on tour in Dallas, Austin, Baltimore, Hartford, Connecticut, Syracuse, New York, Atlantic City, Levittown, Cohoes, and Providence, Rhode Island. Go to JimmyDore.com for the link for the cheapest tickets.
So I'm just going to show you how what Trump is doing. So Trump is doing a lot really fast and it's and the news media can't keep up with it.
He's doing so much so fast. He's auditing. He's getting rid of USAID, DEI. He's putting tariffs on Canada, Mexico, Colombia. He's doing so many things so fast. Well, here, let's hear Steve Bannon. Here's what he has to say about it. At a certain point, there's only so much from the executive that he can do, right? When are we going to get that? Untrue. I think you see right now, I say it's both scale, depth, and urgency.
That's where you're seeing, and look, I strongly believe in the flood the zone theory, which has just overwhelmed the opposition. And I think President Trump has done an amazing thing, is you pick all the different verticals you're going to and you just drop the hammer. It's executive orders, executive action, all of this.
So he's flooding the zone. Here's what J.D. Vance says. This is the new normal. Expect this rapid-fire breakneck pace to continue for four full years. Go ahead, Jay. So this guy says, John A. Conrad B. says, I opened my New York Times app today. They're trying, but they can't keep up.
News that broke just hours ago is already off the homepage. This is crucial. The entire liberal deep state command and control system is broken. Oh, I said that. We watched the DNC thing. They look like they're not getting transmissions no more. That's right.
Too many cows and not enough ranchers. So first, let me explain to you what the liberal deep state command and control system looks like, right? Well, the New York Times primary function isn't journalism. It's narrative coordination, setting the frame so the entire political media machine knows how to think about an issue before it takes off. Ever notice how overnight everyone starts saying Biden is as sharp as a tack or J.D. Vance is weird? It's not random.
There's a system in place. Yeah, I say it over and over. The narrative pipeline. It's how the blob operates. The New York Times, NPR, Washington Post, CNN and the rest don't just react to news. They function as as a distributed, decentralized mission command system for the Democratic Party and the broader blob.
Step one, local bureau chiefs. These guys are stationed across the country watching which stories gain traction and fielding calls from Democratic operatives feeding them narratives, stories that they need to start controlling.
Step two, New York editors, bureau chiefs, snip the news and send it to New York where an editor triages it. Will this explode nationwide? Will it simmer for days or should we bury it? Step three, editorial meetings. The most concerning stories get flagged. Here, editors decide on the narrative framing and who's assigned to write it. But before they assign a journalist, they make one critical call to the deep state.
Why? To give the government a head start on controlling the story. At this point, the steep deep state doesn't just say, hey, here's what happened. They strategically select sources based on the tone they want. If
If they need a hawkish China rhetoric, they have a China hardliner expert on speed dial. If they want to downplay a Chinese spy cartel, they go to a dovish China expert who will say it's being blown out of proportion. If it's a military scandal, they pick a trustworthy retired general to subtly steer the discussion toward a desired conclusion. This isn't journalism. It's perception warfare. That's what you're reading in the New York Times. Watch the post. It's called what? Yeah. What's it called?
Mind war, Psy war, we played the commercial on Rogaine. That's right. That's what this is. Mind control. But once the tone is set, the editor assigns the story and suggests the approved sources to call. The journalist's job is simple. Get quotes from the right experts, write it up, and stick to the approved angles. If something goes wrong with the angle, for example, a source exposes it as a lie, they return to the editor for guidance.
Occasionally, a journalist oversteps. If it's minor, it passes. If it's major, the editor kills the piece, buries it on page 16, or reassigns it to a more trusted writer to correct the framing. Overstep too many times, and you're reassigned to local news or gently, if not your fault, we love your spark, just downsizing, you're let go.
Do a really good job sticking to the approved script and you'll get awards or book deals and travel. They gave Pulitzers to the guys who wrote garbage about Russiagate. The guys who pushed Russiagate got Pulitzer Prizes. Guys who told lies about the Syria gas attack also got Pulitzer Prizes. Rachel Maddow got a $35 million reward contract for lying about Trump and
Rush a gate at the top of her lungs for four years. Nobody flatly says this award isn't for towing the party line because that would expose the scam. No, these journalists are smart. They either pick up on the reward incentives or they get gently pushed aside. Cults.
Suddenly, every news outlet, late night host and blue check is reinforcing the exact same message like during covid. You saw that. And because they aren't technically taking or just like right now, they're calling Trump's a fascist. And because they aren't technically taking orders, they think it's their own independent analysis. This is why. So this is what I talk about when I say that the people in those editorial meetings have been groomed to be in them since they were in kindergarten and they don't know it.
It's just like Chomsky told that reporter. Reporter says, I'm not told what to say. He says, I'm not saying you are. I'm saying that if you wanted to say something different, you wouldn't have that job.
So they pick people who already are people who are compliant, who don't color outside the lines. That's how journalism happens in America. That's why Jeff Bezos hired Dave Weigel, a guy who, when he was an editor of his college newspaper, organized pro-Iraq war rallies. He hired that guy to cover progressive politics for The Washington Post. Do you see how it works? They know your mindset already. That's how you get there.
Go ahead. The great crystal ball said it best. If you want to maintain a relationship with power, guys, then you do make guys maintain relationship power. This is why the narrative feels so unified. No one's forcing compliance. It's a system that rewards alignment.
Now, each individual pundit and blog is allowed to post independently, but we all know unconsciously to work the narrative because that's where the rewards are. That's why they all said Biden's sharp and effective. And now they're all saying, yeah, I should have pushed back more because they know if they would have pushed back more, they'd all be fired. If someone breaks the narrative in a bug way or just like now, Piers Morgan say, yeah, I should have been more skeptical of the vaccine rollout. Well, he couldn't have been at the time when it counted because he would get pushed out.
And marginalized. If someone breaks the narrative in a bug way intentionally, there are three options. Smear campaign to make them toxic. That's what they did to Matt Taibbi because Matt Taibbi told truth about censorship. So they smeared him. Same thing with Glenn Greenwald. Same thing with Tucker Carlson. They didn't smear Tucker Carlson for lying about the Iraq war. They smeared Tucker Carlson for telling the truth about the Ukraine war.
Ban them from the system. Wikipedia blacklist, social media throttle, no DC party invites, no Pentagon press pass. Turn them into a double agent who claims to buck the narrative but subtly shifts things left. A.K.A. Barry Weiss is the ultimate genius at this. Oh, she 100% is like delighted to know somebody famous. Yes, and she pretends to be the person bucking the narrative.
But she's not. She's pushing the establishment narrative. Not all stories emerge organically. Sometimes the deep state calls first. A senior editor gets a call. Everyone in D.C. is talking about how weird J.D. Vance is. The next morning in an editorial meeting, that becomes people are saying J.D. Vance is weird. Let's get some stories on that. Then every editor repeats it to the reporters. Did you hear J.D. Vance's word? Let's explore that. That's how that happens. Jimmy, I heard he's married to an Indian lady. I know.
the deep state the deep state tries its best to play a soft hand they let things emerge around the narrative and only step in if the narrative is evolving in a bad way or new information disturbs the narrative so where does the organic command and control system come from well the military of course
Why this matters, the mission control model, command model. This decentralized coordination mirrors how the best militaries operate through a doctrine called mission command. A bad general micromanages. Move three platoons and six tanks around this road and attack the base. But a good general gives flexibility. Hey, take this logistics base by X time and figure out the best way.
So a great general sets intent. We need to cripple their supply lines. Here's what we know about their logistics. The best commanders set objectives, not orders. Then they let their officers adapt on the ground. The same thing with the news media. The best editors do this. That's exactly how the New York Times and the blob operate. They don't give direct orders to every outlet. They set the intent, how the political media machine should think about an issue.
Then think tanks, columnists, TV hosts, and activists execute their own variations of the message.
so they they act like a popular girl at school is that literally their plan and here's why we got to get through this why republicans keep losing the narrative war republicans don't have this there's no clear clear commander's intent no unified messaging framework no ecosystem where think tanks media and party strategists move in the same direction instead it's chaotic it's reactive it's uncoordinated
Meanwhile, Democrats operate like a well-oiled mission command system, not because of a single top down controller, but because every key player understands their role is pushing the message. And until Republicans build a competing system, they'll always be playing defense. And here's what Trump is doing to break through that.
Trump has broken the Dems' mission command system. The famed fighter pilot John Boyd, who literally wrote the manual for Top Gun, came up with this thing called OODA loop. OODA loop. OODA loop. OODA is a process for making better calculated decisions faster. Observe, orient, decide, and act. Okay? Oh, I like the pentagram that he uses for it. That's cool. So...
I can't go into all the details on how the food system works. It can throw a lot of information at an enemy, information of all kinds, including false information. They start to get overloaded. That is what's called the fog of war, and that's what's happening right now to the media.
Because there's so much shit happening right now with Trump. So many things he's doing, implementing, things are moving so fast, they're getting overloaded. Now, military have been doing fake attacks and fake information and maneuvering around objectives for centuries. But what Boyd found is you can't overload the enemy system because your troops will also get overloaded with information. You can't just overload them. What you have to do is move and adapt, right?
Throw out a ton of information, then let your officers change frequently. In the field, an officer might bypass the logistic base and go for the train rail, but the misinformation causes the enemy to abandon the base so the officer will turn around and destroy it.
In a fighter jet, you might fly straight so the enemy thinks you have a problem. When he's on your tail, most people would push the throttle. Boyd said it might be better to drop the flops as a brake to make the enemy fly right past you. Be unpredictable.
Boyd calling this maneuver warfare because you're always maneuvering around the enemy. If you cannot only throw out more information, but move a lot faster than your enemy and change tactics on the fly, you will get inside the enemy's OODA loop and win easily. This is exactly what Trump is doing right now.
The sheer number of stories is absolutely overloading the New York Times app. New York Times editors do not have time to coordinate with the deep state and coax the process.
Trump is completely overloading the information distribution system. And it's not just overloaded the system, but he's moving fast and adapting tactics. Instances in Panama, he was demanding the canal. But then when he went down, there took a quick win for with giving Navy ships free transit and kicking China. Then he's on to Canadian tariffs before the New York Times editors can figure out what the hell happened in Panama.
and well before they can develop a narrative for Panama. So Trump's on to the next thing. Boyd didn't just teach us how to defeat the enemy, he taught us how to recognize when you're already winning. The easiest way to tell, the enemy starts making really dumb moves.
The waste they waste ammo shooting in empty forests, convinced you're still there when you actually left two days ago. Then they fly in a senior general to bark orders, trying to reassert control over a situation already spiraling out of their hands. This sound familiar? That's exactly what the Democrats are doing right now.
Chuck Schumer is firing off a constant stream of bombastic orders desperate to override events he can't control. The media is fixated on asinine distractions like their price of eggs while the real war is being fought elsewhere. When the enemy is losing, they can't see the forest for the trees.
Take the aid collapse, a massive exposure of corruption. Instead of grasping the real problem, Democrats have tunnel vision, obsessing over physical access to the building rather than the deeper rot that it's exposing. And when they're really losing, they go after the general. Boyd taught us that when an enemy is out of options, they target the figurehead, hoping to break morale. That's exactly what's happening with Elon.
But a great general knows the game. Patton famously commanded a full fake army during D-Day, letting the enemy fixate on him while lower level officers did the real work. And that's where we are now. The Democrats are flailing, distracted and losing control. Meanwhile, the real fight is happening far below their line of sight.
In short, the sheer number of stories on the New York Times app right now, no clear narrative, tunnel focused on things that don't matter, and bombastic attempts by generals like Schumer and AOC, they all point to one irrefutable fact. Trump is literally running circles around them. Did Boyd teach us how to defeat masterful...
To defeat masterful maneuver warfare like the kind Trump is executing now? Yes.
But maneuver warfare is insanely hard to stop. In any scenario, it's designed to keep enemy off balance. What looks chaotic is actually well-planned assault. Trump isn't just making one move at a time. He's prepping multiple maneuvers for every possible response. If Democrats attack a specific front, he simply drops one plan and picks up another, fully baked, ready to go.
He's had years to refine this. That's what I've been saying. It's a great thing he lost in 2020. He had four years to come up with this plan and they've got one. The Democrats, they're starting from scratch.
maneuver warfare isn't just about the four stars elon jd hegseth or even the three stars cabinet secretaries the real game is won by the one star and two stars the undersecretaries the chiefs of staff and the frontline commanders and democrats they haven't even begun to focus on the actual battlefield command center guys like michael waltz
Michael Gwaltz? Literal Green Beret who spent two decades mastering maneuver warfare. I'm not about to explain how they can win in a Twitter thread. So there you go. It looks like that. So that's exactly what's happening. So they're fighting over RFK. They're fighting over Tulsi, Hegseth. We switch to Panama. We switch to Canada. We switch to Colombia. We switch to DEI. We switch to USAID.
We switch now to the Pentagon. It's too much for them. They don't even know. They don't know what's coming at them. They're firing all the people at the FBI. They're getting rid of all the federal employees. They're doing all kinds. It's too much for the New York Times app to handle. And that's how Trump's getting all this done. I wonder who got whacked at the top because, again, these are all people waiting for orders to come that aren't coming, and then they're in disarray and panicking.
So what's the command center of them? Who was that that got removed that they're not, that they have to panic? Because before they had like a unified marching order and they like didn't seem to be worried by it. Well, they're still doing that. You see them out there. They're always two or three days behind Trump.
They're out there now. They're literally defending buildings. They're defending USAID. You're defending the CIA cutouts. That's what they're left doing. They look like idiots. Even Jon Stewart made fun of them. I showed you in the first story today. It looks like if like Walt Disney World abandoned Disney World and just like all the goofies formed a society.
It's like leftover mascots. So that four years Trump had off, he wasn't wasting them. He came in with a plan and they are overwhelming the enemy and they're doing maneuver warfare and he's winning.

Well, guess what? Google scraps its diversity hiring goals and cites Trump's DEI orders. Hamburger, that's great news. Hamburger. First of all, I think this is this actually was a good because now we'll be ready when the aliens invade and try to take us over because we had training because we had DEI land and take over the planet.
Right. We already had like pod people spout nonsense from another planet at us and go, yeah, I guess that's how it is now. And so when you, when you, by the way, see the better headline on this would be CIA cutout scraps diversity goals. Is that, that'd be the correct headline. Yeah. We think these are just independent companies.
You think Google and their quantum computing is independent of the Intel community? To make these stories easier to understand, just switch out the company name with CIA cutout every time DEI comes up. Because it was that. And here's a look. Look at this. Here's MythInform tweeted this out. This is from a Forbes senior contributing writer, Janice Asari.
or a ser, she continues to instruct students at Columbia University to either go woke or go broke, despite all of the evidence to the contrary. Watch this. And so Uber is a great example of a company that has self-destructed in several different ways, and I think it's still actively struggling with how do we maintain the people here, how do we treat our main workers well? And so any company that doesn't prioritize
This really try to actively decentralize whiteness is not going to be sustainable. Any company that doesn't decentralize whiteness is not going to be a sustainable company. That's what the CIA has been doing really well. And if you saw their 51 agents that signed on the Hunter laptop, Russia does info thing. Looks like they sustain their whiteness pretty well for people to push it out on everybody else.
Alphabet's Google is scrapping its goal to hire more employees from historically underrepresented groups and is reviewing some of its diversity equity DEI initiatives.
With this, Google joins a slew of U.S., which we're going to tell you in a second, a slew of businesses, particularly in Silicon Valley, that have been scaling back their diversity initiatives years after pushing for more inclusive policies after protests against the police killings of George Floyd and other black Americans in 2020. So isn't it against the law to discriminate like that, by the way? Yes.
So, by the way, so now we know this is a CIA thing. Yeah. And based solely on the ongoing criminal conspiracy. Yeah. And by the... I don't... You see this woman? Yeah. Saying that? Say, I don't know what's more awkward. A person of color saying we should...
End whiteness or a white person saying that we should end whiteness? I don't know which she is. She's either an old white lady with a beret or a light-skinned woman of color with braids like Sister Locks. Kurt, all I know is that to win the kids over these days, you have to wear a beret like a hipster beatnik from 70 years ago.
I don't think it's a beret. I think she's a light-skinned black woman. I swear to God. I was like making it big to try to see because I'm like, that looks like a crazy old lady from where I'm sitting. I think she's wearing a beret though. I think that might be... I thought she was wearing a beret too. She is? I think so. That should be just deportation to a country you're not even from for that. So the company...
Google issued a statement after the news broke. We're committed to creating a workplace where all our employees can succeed to have equal opportunities. And over the last year, we've been reviewing our programs designed to help get us there. Was it something with H-1Bs? Was that what this is about? We've updated our 10K language. What is 10K language?
I don't know. I hate their language. To reflect this. And as a federal contractor, our teams are also evaluating changes required following recent court decisions and executive orders on this topic. Translated, we don't care who you love, but you can't wear open ass chaps at work anymore.
Oh, that's like tame. That's like they ran them out. That's just conservative people who were ass chaps. They got way beyond that. Alphabet's annual filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday showed it omitted a line saying that it was, quote, this is what they omitted from their most recent filing.
That they were committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a workforce that is representative of the users we serve. They omitted that. That statement has appeared in its annual reports from 2021 to 2023. Google told employees it was reviewing recent court decisions and executive orders by Donald Trump aimed at curbing DEI in the government and federal contractors.
Google's head of human relations, Fiona Ciccone, said in a memo published by The Verge, for example, in 2020, we set aspirational hiring goals and focused on growing our offices outside California and New York to improve representation. In the future, we will no longer have aspirational goals.
Was she hired through a DEI thing? Because that's a really dumb statement. Well, that's right, Kurt. From here on out, they're only hiring people with no aspirations at all. Leave your dreams at the door and welcome to your drab life. Welcome to Google.
Remember that movie they made about it where Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn try to be older guys joining the Google team? Yeah, you remember that? You remember that? And how absurd it was because this new breed of programmable robots isn't compatible with normal human emotions. Earlier this month, Facebook parent Meta Platform said in an internal memo that it was ending its DEI programs, including those for hiring, training, and picking suppliers.
Amazon also said it was winding down outdated programs and materials related to representation and inclusion in a memo to its employees. Conservative groups fortified by a 2023 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that invalidated affirmative action and university admissions have condemned DEI programs and have threatened litigation against companies implementing them. So this is because Donald Trump said if you're a contractor,
with the US government, you gotta cut out this DEI stuff. So now they all want the government money,
So they're doing what the government says. Yeah, USAID money. So when Obama left, he's left in charge of the George W. Bush, I don't know, deep state, whatever you want to call it. And so they put all that money into massive propaganda. It's not Marxist, by the way. It's Fabian socialist. That's right. It's not Marxist. Fabian, not Marxist. Fabian. Well, what is Fabian?
Well, that's an English society where they slowly introduce like this feudal socialism where like just the thing that we're they're trying to give us where like some oligarch control things and you live all the worst parts of socialism. Right. That and their emblem was a wolf in sheep's clothing when they came up with it in England in the 1890s. And so all like H.G. Wells, all the Isaac Asimov, all them people are all part of that.
And it's called cause Fabian, the Roman, uh, I don't know, emperor general, he was known for wearing down an army gradually in a war of attrition. Do you understand? So instead of like Marx, Marx didn't really have a plan. He's like, Hey, it's just going to happen eventually. Like he's doing a prophecy almost. They're like, how do we make this happen? We do it gradually, not like the Soviets and we sneak it wolf and sheep's clothing, very specific imagery. So, so what, so, uh,
Some of these DEI hires are going to have to adjust to remain in the workplace. And I'm just wondering, what happens when you remove all those piercings in your face? Do those holes actually close up? Yeah, they close right up. Do you just walk around whistling in the wind like a wiffle ball on a stick? Well, if you got those earplugs, you end up looking like horse lord. Oh, you mean those ear gauges, they call them? Yeah. I think people who wear ear gauges, they're not doing that. They're doing that to you. Yeah.
They're like, look at this. Ha! And you're like, oh my God! Stop it! There's a lot of ways... Look, there's a lot of ways... They're doing it... They're air-gaging at you. Yeah. Well, look, Jimmy, bottom line. There are a lot of ways to tell me you got molested. You don't have to do that to your... Yeah, you don't have to, right. They're just...
Like Matt Besser therapy. That's right. You don't have to have tattoos up to your face. Yeah. The tattoo level is how molested someone got when the tattoos come up over the eye. You're like, wow, that's really tragic. What happened to you? Well, that post below must've been through a hell of a time. Well, next time I see him, I'm going to directly ask him. Matt Besser from the UCB theater and other things. He used to have a great joke when, when I started out with him, he said, uh,
You know, I don't need to see a spider web tattooed on your elbow to know you're not creative.
Or to not give you a medal at Disney. So here's, this is from Forbes now. Here's some of the other companies. The government-funded railroad service Amtrak confirmed to Bloomberg it would roll back its DEI programs and policies, which appeared to include efforts to hire and promote diverse employees and employee resource groups, according to the company's 2023 diversity report. And remember, all these companies did this
Because this was being forced on them from BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street. They were forcing them. And if they didn't do this diversity and ESG and DEI stuff, they would get a lower score, which means it would then become more expensive for them if they wanted to, like, for instance, borrow money to fund a project. So that's why this was forced on them.
It's called collusion, I think.
So you keep people fighting over DEI and ESG and all that stuff, and people are building resentment and hating on each other so they don't come together economically so they can oppose places like BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Oh, those places are, especially BlackRock, is intimately connected to USAID.
Kind of like their personal, I guess, consultant contractor. Like all this awful stuff. USAID, that was such a big thing. I didn't understand how big it was. Me neither. I didn't either. The Smithsonian Institute told employees its diversity office is closing as a first step to address Trump's new federal policy that declared DEI programs as dangerous and demeaning.
And the link to the institution's 2022 diversity and inclusion initiatives report and link to its equal employment opportunity policy are broken. That's the Smithsonian Institute. What's the matter? You don't want a group of tourists being led around a vintage aircraft by a guy in a tutu wagging a rubber dick. You don't want that happening. He could use it out. He could use it to point out different displays. Come on, come on. Target.
which had already curbed its LGBTQ pride merchandise line in response to a conservative backlash, announced it would pull back on racial hiring targets and its racial equity action and change program. By the way, black people were the last group that were helped by DEI. Did you know that? So I'll give you an example. I remember when my brothers started their own company. This is 25 years ago, probably longer.
And they put the companies in their wives' names. Why? Because then they could get special treatment because it was minority-owned. Because it was owned by a woman. A white woman! White women are considered minority. What? They're the majority population! That's funny. Yeah. So, the fact that white women were included in this. We gotta get women. White women? Uh...
So, and with Chief Community Impact and Equity Officer Cara Fernandez telling employees, boy, I guess she's going to be out of a job, by the way. Chief Community Impact and Equity Officer Cara Fernandez telling employees in a memo, the decisions were made based on many years of data and an effort to stay in step with the evolving external landscape. In step with the evolving external landscape. Is that from a person or have they taught snakes how to talk now?
Nothing from Kurt on that joke. Nothing. I don't think Kurt was paying attention. I think Kurt was reading his phone. The FBI confirmed in a statement to Forbes it had closed its DEI office, a frequent target of attacks by Republicans, in December prompting President-elect Donald Trump to demand the agency preserve and retain all records relating to the shuttered office as he accused the FBI of corruption in a Truth Social post.
They're all changing their job title. Remember what they started doing immediately? They started hiding their job titles. That's right, yes. To not get fired. That's right. There are black people that benefit, namely the women that voted Kamala because they're mostly federal employees. I don't know about that. I don't know if you have data to back that up, Kurt. Well, why would you vote for Kamala if you're black other than you're a federal employee? Finally, the FBI is restoring the decency and leadership that it began with, huh?
They would never tolerate a man wearing a dress behind closed doors in those hallowed halls, would they? Hoover was also a black guy, too. He was in the clothes about being black and also gay. Who? Hoover from the FBI. He was black? Yeah. What? Yeah.
I don't know. Okay, look, not that I would say, but Meghan Markle's black technically based on ancient racism laws. So yeah, no, he was. That's why he was extra mean to black people. That's like an old canard, dude. Black cops could be meaner in the neighborhood. Yeah, yeah.
McDonald's also announced it would abandon specific diversity targets, cease participation in external surveys that measure company demographics, and would rename its diversity team to Global Inclusion Team. Sounds just as bad. Citing the Supreme Court decision that ended affirmative action at universities and similar DEI walkbacks by other corporations, though it said it would continue to report demographic information in its own annual report.
Okay. They all announced they're doing this and that, but they were do like, so Trump said, nobody's doing this anymore. They, they never had any policy other than what they were told to by the fascist government, which we've had for some time. It's the idea of fashion is not new. This was the government corporate power merged. And now a new government took over and they're like, don't do this crap anymore. And we're all going to pretend these companies came to a decision. I know.
So now McDonald's is getting rid of their DEI. Does this mean we're going to see Ronald McDonald without makeup now? He's just going to be some guy sitting around eating? Are we cutting out clowns now too? Come on. What if he looks like Gene Simmons? How gross will that be? Here we go. Costco has refused to back down from its DEI policies. Did you know that?
The company's shareholders overwhelmingly voted to reject a proposal that would have obligated the company to review the potential risks of maintaining... By the way, DEI initiatives create more... Exactly how it was designed, it creates more turmoil inside of companies. It doesn't make things more cooperative. Oh, wait. Is that why Costco... Do they have a union breathing down their neck, and that's why they're not getting rid of it? To create more division? Yeah.
More than 98% of its shareholders voted against the proposal. I wonder who those shareholders are. I'm just a lowly stakeholder in stakeholder capitalism, but the shareholders, that's who makes the real decisions. The board said it believes that our commitment to an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary. But where's the equity? I see respect and inclusion. What do you mean respect? It's diversity. They're not doing it right. I agree.
Delta Airlines also said it remains committed to DEI. On a January 10th earnings call, Peter Carter, the company's executive vice president for external affairs, told a reporter the company is not reevaluating DEI or sustainability policies because they're actually critical to our business, stating DEI is about talent. And that's been our focus. I don't think it is about talent. It's not about talent. It's about diversity.
Equity doesn't mean it's about talent. When you say the word equity, diversity is fine with me. I know it's a buzzword that sucks, but the actual concept of it is fine. Equity is a concept. How they slip that in and how people are that dumb that they allowed it, I'll never understand, but that is not equality. Equity means we all get the same no matter what our talent is.
And some of us get a lot less if we're not the right color. I mean, every part of it, it goes against what they're saying. So what's the real reason they're keeping it? All I'm saying is because if you get rid of all the gay flight attendants, none of those planes are going to take off. We just have to have some straight flight attendants to balance it out. Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins told Axios a diverse workforce is better because there's too much business value.
Robin said the DEI backlash is being treated as a single issue when it's really made up of 150 different things. And maybe seven of them got a little out of hand. Seven? Which seven? Are you pulling things out of your equitable ass? Yeah. But none of those things are going to get solved and they're going to be left with common sense. Really? I thought common sense we shouldn't trust because of our natural inherent biases. Yeah.
Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Seewing said at a press conference the company stands firmly behind its integral or integral DEI program stating that the company can see how Deutsche Bank has benefited from it making it the latest bank to defend DEI after conservative groups filed shareholder proceedings
proposals at various banks urging them to review their diversity policy. So you think only white people of European descent should be allowed to launder dirty money from international drug cartels? What are you, some kind of racist, he added? I think Deutsche Bank is referring to its huge investment when 9-11 happened and somebody bet on it in the market and nobody knew who it was. Guess who it was? Deutsche Bank.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodall said at a press conference ahead of the Super Bowl, which requires team the NFL, which requires teams requires them to interview at least two minority candidates. Does that mean a woman?
At least two minority candidates for vacant head coach, general manager, and coordinator positions as part of its broader commitment to diversity. It will continue its diversity efforts because we've not only convinced ourselves, I think we've proven that it does make the NFL better. We're not in this because it's a trend to get into or a trend to get out of. Oh, yeah, it's going to be a lot more Asian players, I'm sure. Ha ha!
vacant head coach now is it because the position's vacant or they would like a coach with a vacant head how are trump's department of justice and pam bondi targeting dei well shortly after being sworn in attorney general pam bondi issued a memo to justice department staff stating the department will investigate eliminate and penalize illegal dei and deia preferences what is the a for
God, I got to tell you, I never get tired of hearing about shitty three-letter policies of shitty three-letter agencies. I'll tell you that. I hope we never get rid of the three-letter things in this country. It's bad enough we're losing USAID, our finest luxury four-letter agency. Yeah, that's true. Now all we got left is NASA. Boo. Boo. Boo.
Bondi, Pam Bondi. She urged the department to enforce federal civil rights laws to push private companies to roll back DEI inside of the student. Whatever happened to Martin Luther King? His dream was I want to be judged by the content of my character instead of the color of my skin. Isn't that what he said? He said a lot of things. Yeah, he said a lot of things.
They cited the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard Supreme Court case, which ended affirmative action as cause for eliminating DEI at universities. This has been against the law the whole damn time. Yep. Why would you have to push them to enforce the law? I thought no one's above the law. Remember the Democrat chant? That's right. Nobody's above the law. Who knew that Joe Biden's family was named nobody?
What has Trump said about DEI programs? In an executive order issued on the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump ordered the elimination of diversity, equity, inclusion programs within the federal government. But it also threatens to punish some private entities like public companies, nonprofits, and universities that use them.
Good. In his executive order, Trump slammed the infiltration of the federal government with DEI programs, citing an executive order from former President Joe Biden issued on his first day in office that directed federal agencies to address racial inequities. Trump's executive order directs federal government agencies to no longer consider diversity in hiring and revise employee training programs to gut DEI training. Wow.
Yeah, cut his head off too. Don't stop at gutting it. Mutilate the whole thing, the corpse. Dance around with it. I don't know how to even process dealing with a barista.
Who doesn't automatically hate me for no reason, I'll tell you that. Yeah. The order also demands the elimination of environmental justice offices and positions in federal agencies. During his inaugural address, Trump vowed he would end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender in every aspect of public and private life, stating he would forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based. Sounds like MLK is talking.
But that's true. To me, it sounds like racism. Colorblind, that's racist. Marriage-based, racism. So you're just not going to bring up Disney or Star Wars at all? Yeah, that's conspicuous. The silence is deafening, Mr. President. Your industry is collapsing.
Trump also signed an executive order eliminating DEI offices and policies within the military, the Department of Defense, and Department of Homeland Security, which he considered to be race-based and sex-based discrimination, and in a separate executive order effectively reinstated his 2017 ban on transgender troops, banning identification-based pronoun usage.
and prohibiting troops assigned male at birth from using women's bathing or sleeping facilities. Assigned male at birth. By who? God, what are you talking about? The doctor didn't just wave a wand and you had a pee-pee or a wee-wee. That's what you came out with. Who goes there? Hey, what's the password? He, they, them? That was last week's password. Nice try, Commie.
Some companies slashing their DEI programs have cited the Supreme Court's June 2023 decision. Students prefer. We already talked about that. Which rules? We already talked about that. And because it violated the 14th Amendment. Shadow of Ezra tweets out. Donald Trump just confirmed that Doge will be investigating the Pentagon. Oh, boy.
The Pentagon has never passed one of their audits. Right. Never. Or allowed one to happen, I believe. They did have audits, but they didn't. Yeah, you're right.
You're not allowed to look at everything. Here's what Trump said. Here we go. What we're doing, if you look at what has just taken place with respect to some of the investments that have been made on another agency that people have been talking about for years, but nobody did anything about it, it's absolutely obscene, dangerous, bad, very costly. I mean, virtually every investment made is a con job.
There's nothing of value to anybody unless there's a kickback scheme going on, which is possible.
And we're going to be doing more and more of that. We're going to be looking at Department of Education. We're going to be looking at even our military. We're going to be looking at tremendous amounts of money, Peter, being spent on things that bear no relationship to anything and have no value. We're talking about trillions of dollars. It will be, in the end, trillions of dollars being absolutely wasted and perhaps illegally, I would say, certainly in many cases illegally, but perhaps illegally overall,
And I'm very proud of the job that this group of young people, generally young people, but very smart people, they're doing. They're doing it at my insistence. It would be a lot easier not to do it. But we have to take some of these things apart to find the corruption. We found tremendous corruption. So if he's if he wants to audit the Pentagon, I think he better keep his head on a swivel because you know what I'm talking about? And remember, this one saved his life. This one saved his life.
He's on a swivel. He has a straight up swivel head. He swivels right out of the way. Wow. Let's hear that again. What we're doing, if you look at what has just taken place with respect. So is this, is that Japan or China? Japan. Oh, look at that. And they're both, they both shop at the exact same store. Isn't that nice? Isn't that something? It is nice.
Much easier for guys to dress. Ladies, they always have to be different. Guys, they don't care. If two women showed up wearing the same dress, there'd be a meltdown. Two guys show up wearing the exact same suit, exact same shirt, exact same tie. No problem. Isn't that funny?
Okay, here we go.
And we're going to be doing more and more of that. We're going to be looking at Department of Education. We're going to be looking at even our military. We're going to be looking at tremendous amounts of money, Peter, being spent on things that bear no relationship to anything and have no value. We're talking about trillions of dollars. It will be, in the end, trillions of dollars being absolutely wasted and perhaps illegally, I would say, certainly in many cases illegally, but perhaps illegally overall,
And I'm very proud of the job that this group of young people, generally young people, but very smart people, they're doing. They're doing it at my insistence. It would be a lot easier not to do it. But we have to take some of these things apart to find the corruption. We found tremendous corruption. Again, I think if you're against this, you either have a government contract or.
Or you've been propagandized. Just like Jon Stewart, I showed you in that earlier segment today. Jon Stewart's like, the Democrats are freaking out about democracy because that's what Trump's doing. And I'll add to that saying they're freaking out about an audit of the way the government spends its money. What? What? That's great. Why has this been done before? Why hasn't good presidents, not the bad one? Yeah. Why doesn't every president do this?
So when Trump does something wrong, we call him out for it, just like we called out his U.S. B-1 visa program. We called out his Gaza ethnic cleansing program. I don't understand how you could be against this just because you have a. OK, there's three reasons. You have a government contract. B, you've been propagandized by the corporate media because they're losing their government contracts. Or C, you have a hate boner for Elon Musk.
Now, again, we've called out Elon Musk over the age. We've called him out lots. But I'm all for this. But do I think that... See, here's the problem. So if Elon Musk is going to be the one who's going to audit the Pentagon, Elon Musk is a huge defense contractor. So I don't think he's going to be cutting... So that's where the conflict of interest comes in. Do we get to see what they spent it on? That's what it comes down to to me. Yeah. Who gets to look at this information? Because I have heard a lot of...
Now I've heard like where it's like 200, 400 million at a time for DEI things. And sometimes I'll tell you these ones that are like 11 million and you're like, why are you even bringing that up? That's nothing. But I don't believe any of these are DEI musicals or whatever the hell. Obviously it's cover to do. What are the things are always doing? Drugs, people, weapons is to do what the dirt we do around the world. And this is just a stupid cover. They use DEI programs.
So I'm all for it. If they're going to audit the Pentagon, let's do it. The Pentagon hasn't passed. They tried to do two audits. How can you pass a budget when the Pentagon can't pass an audit? Yeah, I don't know how you can do that. National Security. National Security. And the babies. And, you know, during Trump's first term, they increased the military budget $132 billion. That's not just once. That's every year in perpetuity.
So that just goes to show, can you imagine if they spent $132 billion in the top 10 cities in America, how ass-kicking those cities would be if they spent it right? A brand new sports stadium costs maybe a billion or two. Imagine if that, if the top 20 cities got a brand new, all the jobs it would create, imagine if they just, hey, we're going to build a library in every neighborhood.
We're going to build. I'm sure Kamala would have called for that. An audit of the Pentagon. We're going to hire. We would have got that. Yeah, I'm sure you, I'm sure that we, how about if they hire a second teacher for every classroom? $132 billion. I'm sure it could pay for it. You know, hire people that know something to teach instead of making it psychological training to teach kids how to behave as automatons, which is why not? Would we spend the most money?
and get the worst results in our education system because it wasn't designed to educate. It was designed to make you compliant. That's right. And isn't it in Finland, Steph, where they have three teachers per classroom? Three. Do they learn the topics? Three. They all have master's degrees. They all have master's degrees. Three teachers. They don't do ESL, emotional social learning. And their classroom sizes are about 20. When Steph was teaching, her classroom size was 38.
And she didn't have any helpers to 42 up to 42 students. She taught 180 kids a day. So, yeah, we could spend that money. We got the money. But again, that's we're not investing it in our own country. Imagine if every classroom had three teachers. How much wouldn't that be amazing? We can afford it. We can afford it.
I think they are investing. They're investing in making our own country suck for us. Yes. They are investing it, but it's all to like directly harm every aspect of your life all the time. I think so. Again, I'm all if you're if you're against this, I haven't heard a good argument yet against it. Except that you don't like waiting for that. Except what's that?
Oh, I can't wait for don't audit the Pentagon. Yeah, I can't wait for the Democrats to say don't audit the Pentagon. You know that's coming. The shitlibby of shitlibs are going to come out and say that's a bad idea to audit the Pentagon. I can't wait. I haven't heard a good argument against this kind of what's happening. The only argument I've heard is that people don't like Elon Musk. Okay, fine.
Well, that's all you got. If you don't like him, you should want this even more because I want a guy I don't like to audit the Pentagon who I don't like. So that sounds great.
