Jimmy Dore: 我认为乔恩·斯图尔特指出了民主党对特朗普政府的过度反应。他们动不动就指责特朗普是法西斯,这种做法已经失去了意义。斯图尔特认为,民主党应该关注特朗普政府的政策,并提出更好的替代方案,而不是一味地指责和恐吓。我个人认为,民主党在过去几年里一直沉迷于对特朗普的仇恨,而忽略了真正的问题。他们应该反思自己的策略,并尝试与不同观点的人进行对话,而不是将所有人都视为敌人。如果他们继续这样下去,只会让更多的人倒向特朗普。 Kurt Metzger: 我同意Jimmy的观点。民主党总是喜欢把所有事情都归咎于特朗普,这已经变成了一种条件反射。他们对特朗普的批评往往是夸大其词,缺乏实质内容。斯图尔特说得对,民主党应该停止这种无意义的指责,而是应该提出自己的政策主张。他们应该关注经济、医疗保健、教育等重要问题,并提出切实可行的解决方案。如果他们能够做到这一点,我相信他们能够重新获得选民的支持。但是,如果他们继续沉迷于对特朗普的仇恨,他们只会自取灭亡。

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. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Hello, Jimmy. This is Andrew Cuomo. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

He's never not up to something. He's always up to something. Oh, brother. Yeah. Well, why do you keep calling? Why do I keep calling? Because I keep being in the news. But mainly, I just love hearing the sound of your voice. All right, fine. What's on your mind?

Well, Jimmy, it's been an interesting week for me because of one of my international clients is visiting the country, which he does from time to time. And who might that be? Well, that would be Benjamin Netanyahu, of course. B.B. Netanyahu is one of your clients? In a sense, yes.

I joined the legal team, assembled by Alan Bershowitz, tasked with defending Mr. Netanyahu from the charges leveled against him by the ICC, the International Criminal Court. As you know, the ICC very anti-Semitically charged Mr. Netanyahu with war crimes. But what they really ended up doing was charging themselves with anti-Semitism. Oh, brother.

That's right, Jimmy. Just when you think I can't get any slimier, I throw my lot in with the biggest war criminal of the 21st century. Isn't that something? Isn't that something indeed? Well, I guess now people will see you for the slimeball that you are, right? Actually, I'm leading in the polls. Excuse me?

Oh, haven't you heard, Jimmy Dore? I am currently the top polling candidate for the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City. The Big Apple, my hometown. But you haven't even announced your candidacy for mayor yet.

I know! Imagine how well I do if I actually run for mayor. And you know what? I think I just might run for mayor. And I may not get the endorsement of President Trump, which may not help that much in New York City, but I will have something much more valuable. The endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu in New York City. Good God!

A BB endorsement? Jimmy, are you kidding me? With that, I could get blown up to 200 feet tall like Ant-Man and sexually assault the Statue of Liberty, and I'd still win by double digits. And off the record, I wouldn't mind it. I bet she's got a nice figure under all those rules. Oh, my God. Have you no shame, sir?

No, I don't actually. You know, it's interesting. I've actually been studied by psychologists. I have a rare neurological disorder whereby I do not, in fact, experience the mental state that the rest of you call shame, a condition which only affects an estimated seven out of ten adult males in the population. Well, since you lack the shame, Gene, I'll tell you myself, you should be ashamed.

Why? Because I am defending a man, a good man, from ICC charges that stem from anti-Semitism or that I am using that relationship for personal gain, clearly and transparently manipulating the Jewish voters of New York to secure electoral support. All of that, actually. Oh.

I figured it would be just one. Yeah, see, I really don't get the shame thing. Because of my disease. You think cozying up to Zionism is going to outweigh all your sexual assault allegations and how you mishandled COVID? Jimmy, to quote my new bestie Bebe, don't be naive. Oh, jeez.

How long do you think Americans' memories are? Let alone New Yorkers. Life here is so fast-paced that we don't have time to contemplate something that happened at 11 a.m. These issues you speak of, you might as well be talking about prehistoric times. I don't really think so, Mr. Cuomo.

Jimmy, you may as well get used to calling me Mr. Mayor. Oh, no. I went yarmulke shopping yesterday with Bibi and he knows how to pick ones that really pop on the campaign trail. He's going to get the New York electorate all whipped up on my behalf. What do you think of Trump and Bibi's announcement yesterday regarding the future of the Gaza Strip?

Jimmy, if you would have asked me three weeks ago if I thought a U.S. takeover of Gaza followed by an American program of land development would be a good idea, I would have said you're out of your mind. But now I think it's a fantastic idea. Yeah, what changed?

Just soul searching. I agree with Trump and BP. It really is in everyone's best interest. Is it in the Gazan's best interest?

Yes, I think it is. If they're displaced from Palestine, forced to live in Egypt against their will, wander as refugees in the desert for, say, 40 years, well, if past is prologue, maybe they'll get their own homeland someday. Really? And where would that be? I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Maybe upstate somewhere? Yeah.

Hell, I was governor. I don't know what's up in some of those areas. I think a lot of it is empty. Well, it's always nice to talk to a complete moral husk of a person. Thanks for your time, Mr. Cuomo. I've got to take a shower now.

Always a pleasure, my friend. Now, don't be a stranger. When I'm elected mayor of New York, I'm going to be calling you all the time. Oh. And I mean all the time. He's going to be mayor. He's really going to be. My brother. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

So Jon Stewart is once again playing heads on his flipping coin of his career these days. He's decided to...

tell you how crazy the Democrats are being in response to Trump's first two weeks in office. He noticed? Even Jon Stewart noticed. Isn't that amazing? Of course, they're going to make him pay for doing this by, you know, doing real estate ads for Gaza with Ben Stiller. Hi, I'm Ben Stiller. And if there's one thing I know, it's that I'm no simple jack when it comes to property investments.

So it says there's the heads. There's the headline from the rap. Jon Stewart defends Trump against fascist claims. What would you effing do? He says. So it has become fairly routine for Democrats to liken President Donald. This is from the rap from the president. Trump's actions over the last week to fascism. They of course, that's it. That's a fascist. He's doing fascism things. I mean, the guy was elected.

Okay, you mean he's doing an audit? Fascist! Audits are fascist! And the Daily Show host, Jon Stewart, for one, is sick of it. He's sick of the Democrats calling Trump a fascist. The Comedy Central host went on to criticize the political left for yelling fascist, calling it almost a reflex. Almost? Almost.

Oh, almost. Stewart ended his opening monologue by telling Democrats to ask better questions than how dare he. The question should be, what are you learning from this? How would you use this power, the power that Trump's using powers, Trump's using his power of the presidency, the power that he's given?

Stuart said it's enough with the he is a Hitler. Stop doing that. What would you effing do if you had the presidency? OK, so and first of all, John, they they can't stop doing that. You know, the Democrats can't stop doing the how dare you and they can't stop calling him a fascist. Secondly, you know what they would do if they had Trump's power. You watch them do it.

They made everyone take experimental medical treatments. They locked us down. They closed people's businesses. They they started. They ended a war in the worst way possible and started another war. They charge him with a felony for selling his house to John Stewart way. Yeah, that's right.

So that's what they did. And then they prosecuted their political opponents. That's what they did when they had that power. What would you do? That's what they did. You saw them do it over the last four years. You know damn well what they would do. They used the power of the FBI to sick 5,000 of their agents on a political movement to disband it and discredit it and criminalize it. That's what they did. You know damn well what they would do.

Oh, you know what they do? They would prize someone who never tells you what they actually think, like Kamala Harris, and look at someone who tells you what they think, like they're the scum of the earth. That's what they would do. They really admire Kamala never saying what she thinks. But this is the cycle we find ourselves in. First law of Trumpodynamics. Every action is met with a very not equal overreaction. These pardons are sick. They are offensive. So this is when Trump was giving out pardons. They were like, these are sick.

Right. Remember that? But then when Biden did it. Why? They weren't preemptive? They are un-American. This is one of the most egregious, despicable acts in American history. This is textbook authoritarian takeover 101. I knew I should have taken that class. I'm not majored in submissive liberal crying 101. They're talking about Trump giving pardons to the January 6th people.

Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah. You hear what John said? The last thing I should have taken that instead of submissive liberal crying, which is like funny because it's true. He did take that. He did. He did take that. Submissive liberal crying 101. Is it an abuse of pardon power? I don't know, but that is his constitutional power. Again, for some reason, we have given presidents the power of a king. And then we say, oh, by the way, look at that power. You're not going to get all like kingly and shit on us, right?

That's part-time host and occasional funny man Jon Stewart calling out Democrats and establishment media for their incessant hypocrisy and fear-mongering about Donald Trump and the Republicans. Welcome to NurkNews, I'm Nurkish, and it looks like it's one of those rare times when the left goes so far that- Oh no, this isn't NerdRotic, this is NurkNews. Even liberals like Jon Stewart are forced to point out their lies, which have been almost too many to count since the start of President Trump's second term. Here's Stewart slamming top Democrats in the media for doing the only thing they know how to do, try to terrify Americans into doing what they want them to.

The return to 1600 Trumplevania Avenue was as disorienting and chaotic as I imagined. But then we had a weekend. Serenity now. And we can finally catch our breath. Begin to move forward with intentionality. Namaste. Friday night massacre. Late Friday night purge. A chilling purge. The purge. I for one will take full advantage. Although just in case I'm misinterpreting, what is this purge about exactly? Breaking news. The mass firing of government agency watchdogs. Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. Oh!

He got rid of 17 inspectors general. That only leaves no one knows how many left. I have no idea. What Trump did violated the law. He can't just fire these people. Title five, section 403 of the U.S. Code of Federal Law. An inspector general may be removed by the president. What's the purge? What's the matter? Why do I have an ax? There is a specific law that requires notice, 30 days and a statement of reasons, substantive and detailed rationale. What? I'm sorry, what?

Oh, apparently you can fire them, but you have to give them 30 days notice. Oh, so that's what we're upset about? No! You can do it, but not in that font! That's Hitler's font!

You know, just like Bill Maher, Stewart only seems to see the problems of big government when a member of the opposing party is holding office. I mean, kudos to him for acknowledging it, but the expansion of executive power has been something conservatives have been complaining about for decades. None of this should come as a surprise because it's no secret that Democrats have no impulse control and can't delay gratification. I mean, this wouldn't be the first time that they've done something for short-term gain that later bit them in the butt when Republicans took power and wielded it against them. - Look, we are facing a deluge of these executive actions, and certainly we must be prepared for those most vulnerable to the consequences.

of these actions. But the "this is all fascist" argument has become almost a reflex for the left. Donald Trump promised... John Stewart is just noticing this now. This would have been a great segment, I don't know, eight years ago. He's just noticing this now. Man, this would have been really timely in, I don't know, 2019.

The Democrats cry Hitler too much, Kurt. Really? This is the first I'm hearing of it. Yeah, what? Jon Stewart's telling me this in February 2025. The Democrats cry Hitler too much. I didn't know that. Hey, do we have to call Hitler a fascist because the Ukrainians are using the word Nazi and we don't want to mix them up with Hitler? Because he's a Nazi, not a fascist. I mean, how does Jon Stewart put all this together after hanging a medal on a legit Nazi?

How do you not put it together? You mean? Yeah. How do you not say, wow, Democrats are full of shit with the Nazi alarms?

Yeah, it doesn't dawn on you. Like, look, that can happen to anybody. Somebody says, come to Disneyland, hang a medal on this Nazi and Mickey Mouse there. You don't know what you're doing. They cover his elbow with the Himmler tattoo. But then when you find out about it later, because people brought it up and I know it got back to you. Of course, it got brought up on you. Hey, you know what? Shut up about Nazis forever. You fucking never bring up Nazis ever again after that, you know?

- To be a dictator on day one, and he's carried that forward through the entire week. - Five days into this administration, the abuse is already rampant. - On a fascism scale of one to 10, with 10 being peak fascism, how would you rate Trump's first week?

On the scale of Mussolini to the Holocaust. You know, I would say it's not fascism. Do I not understand what fascism is? Republicans control the House, the Senate, the executive, and the judiciary. And just about every move that has been made till this point, we have granted them electorally. It's our f***ing fault. And the constant... Yeah, it's just our...

And the constant drumbeat of encroaching fascism will erode the credibility we will need if, hopefully if, and not when, it hits. But the truth is that for now, his most objectionable actions have taken place almost entirely within our designed democratic system. There was no authoritarian end run. So what he's saying is, you're wrecking your credibility by calling Trump a fascist and Hitler all the time.

when he's just doing stuff that he's actually democratically elected to do and he's using democracy. And if you keep doing that, if Trump ever does do something fascistic,

And Hitler like you won't have any credibility to call him. So he's saying you're the boy who cried wolf. So I'll give credit to John Stewart for at least saying this now. Just like, you know, Piers Morgan, who now admits that he got a covid vaccines wrong. Right. I'll give them credit. Most people won't. Most people won't do what he's doing. So I'll give him credit because I'll get I'm going to give him credit.

What do you mean if it gets, he didn't say if Trump becomes fascist, he said if it gets to that. If it gets to that, you don't remember lockdowns and all the mandatory experimental gene therapy? Right. It got to that, friends. It got to that. Well, that's what I tried to tell Cornel West when he was on the show. He goes, well, he's blind on purpose. We could get here, fascism could come. What do you mean could come? You're living in it.

You've been living through it. What are you talking about? They're censoring. They're censoring the leading doctors, the leading journalists, the leading scientists. They're censoring them. Hallmark of fascism. They're forcing experimental medical treatment. They're locking people in their house. You're living through it. Oh, also, it turns out USAID was paying for all the wokeness and everything that everyone hates. That's right.

So that's the CIA. So it's called fascist. What is not fascist about that? What is not fascist about that? You're right. And so, I mean, Jon Stewart, he's a nice guy who got bitten by a werewolf. That's what it seems like. And he's like your trusted and true friend, except for that one day a month. And this is it. He's turning on his shit-lib friends.

Again, submissive. He's a submissive liberal. That's what that joke at the top was. And it's true. And they're all submissive liberals. And for the last 10 years, they've been like, man, you toxic. You got to be more submissive to nonsense and be like, well, I'm guilty as a man. All that bullshit and liberal dipshits just went all in on that.

Most of them are bigger predators than anybody on the right, too, by the way. Man, he's right that the Democrats do. They are just crybabies and they suck at actual fighting there. They were culturally designed to make everyone who isn't exactly like them hate them. If you can't see that you're a human psyop when you're like that.

- Your hair's an ugly color and you're a gender blob and you're unpleasant to be around. You don't see they made you into a bioweapon on purpose to get more control? - But Jon Stewart's got more to say. He's doing a good job, I've gotta give it to him. - No royal edicts. This happened to us as designed. - I've gotta admit that it is a little funny how the party that claimed to love and protect democracy can't seem to handle the system working as intended. I mean, it's just like Stewart pointed out. Despite all their hysterics about Trump being a threat to democracy, it was their beloved system that got him elected and allowed him to wield so much power.

which puts Democrats in a weird situation where they need to crap or get off the pot. Because at the end of the day, it's either Stewart is right and the system is healthy and working as intended, or it's so flawed and has been from its inception that its own mechanisms led to its inevitable downfall, which raises the question of why use the system in the first place. And call me crazy, but I think based on everything they've been expressing, Democrats are gonna lean towards choosing the latter. But let me know what you think. Which direction will the left move in the next four years? Will they drop the act and reluctantly accept that our system of government is fine, or once and for all admit that they wanna scrap the whole thing entirely?

So great job by NERC News, whatever NERC means, but I think you did. NERC-ish? Yes. I mean, the Democrats, they have to stop with, did you know that Donald Trump eats ham for breakfast? You know who else did? Hitler! Yeah. You know, the Nazis were really good on cruelty to animals. Like, you know, in a way that's worse considering they're human-treated, but...

You don't like cruelty to animals, right? We don't throw that concept away because Hitler said be nice to dogs. That's right. You can still be nice to dogs. Well, I have a feeling that the reason why most shit libs rescue animals is because animals can't tell you what it's like living in a house with them every day. I agree. It's like an entourage. You see a lot of old crazy actors do it. They get a dog and it's like turtle in their entourage. Hey, Stalin liked his tea hot too. So does Trump. Ha ha ha ha ha.

That's adjacent to fascism. Note for Nerkish, you could shadow yourself in the thing all you want, but I'm going to spot you from your voice and ears and hair when I see you. Do you know what I mean? You're not really hiding your identity that well. Like, I know I'm going to hear that voice and see the ears and hair. I'm just saying, like, you know, maybe get a... So even Jon Stewart cannot bite his tongue with the reaction to Trump's first two weeks.

Even Donald, even Jon Stewart can. Or look into what's really going on with such as the deporting of the sex slaves that were allowed to come in because of scumbag Democrats. Why don't you do a little research, Jon? The thing they tell you not to do because you're the guy. You're the middle car of the human centipede of news to shit libs. They're the caboose. So why don't you attach your lips to just a little bit better of an ass and digest that information for your viewers? You know? Um...

I just can't get over that Democrats won't stop watching corporate news and they won't stop being, so they'll never stop being propagandized. Remember the thing of, I just want to hear something, just tell me something bad about Trump. I just want to hear something bad about Trump. Yeah, yes, I remember comedians getting on stage saying that. There you go. There's the driving force. Why would anyone, unless the thing they're addicted to is so specific, like the nectar they need, is someone saying Trump's bad?

And they become addicted to it like Diet Coke. I saw comedians that I enjoy and like and respect get on stage when Trump got elected and talk about how they like to turn on MSNBC. Just tell me something bad about Trump. I don't care what it is. You know what that immediately made me think of?

Was George Orwell's Five Minutes of Hate. That's what that is. That's exactly what that is. In 1984, they said how they repress your sexual energy so it could be put towards the five-minute hate. That was a big part of it, not getting no dick so you could sit there and be mad when they tell you to hate. Good on Jon Stewart. Today, he's the good werewolf today.

Hey, you know what? Candace Owens, who I was not a fan of before, I've become a big fan of because I watched her look into stuff. Yes. That's all I ask. Look into it, and then I want to hear that you learned something new, and then I can learn something. I already know this, Jon Stewart. What is this, stuff from when I first met you we were saying? You know what I mean? Like, okay, cool, The Daily Show. So you're only, what, 10 years behind the eight ball on this? I know, I know. Well, that's good, honey.

But I'll tell you a little secret. It doesn't have to be. Let me point something out. You're listening to a podcast right now and it's great. You love the host. You seek it out and download it. You listen to it while driving, working out, cooking, even going to the bathroom. Podcasts are a pretty close companion.

The New York Times is the establishment.

The people opposing right now, people who are for the Ukraine war are the establishment. That would be the New York Times, the Washington Post, the news media. And so they've been running hit pieces on Elon Musk's doge, which to me is right now auditing.

The federal government and finding where everybody's outraged about something except the Democrats. They're not outraged about any of that spending. They're not outraged that the CIA, they're defending it. And so here's the New York Times that a hit piece and this guy debunks them. So is this Jeffrey Meade? I think is his name. They're trying to shape the public's perception to think that Elon Musk and Doge are what they're doing is bad. And so let's just watch this.

All right, let's debunk the New York Times. If you want to understand what Elon Musk is doing now to the federal government, all you have to do is look at what he did at Twitter. So you're telling me he's going to, what did he do at Twitter? You're telling me he's going to make everything way better, but still not as good as it should be, and Israel's still going to have too much say. Because that's what he did with Twitter. He made it way better than it was.

Not as good as it could be, but still Israel has way too much faith. You mean that? Is that what he's going to do? Okay, let's watch.

2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and molded it in his own image. He focused on mass layoffs, on reducing real estate footprint, and on pushing employees to resign so that he could cut back on payroll and real estate costs. Now he's taking those same tactics to the U.S. government. Just look at the email that the federal government recently sent to its workers off

offering them a buyout to leave the government. It echoed a similar message that Elon Musk sent to Twitter employees in November 2022 with the exact same subject line. Musk uses a approach to his businesses called zero-based budgeting. He's now started to use that tactic in government and say basically government spending needs to come down to zero and line items need to be added back one at a time. So I don't get what this girl is saying exactly. Is she...

Is she for or against Elon? Because can you say something bad he did yet? Everything she's saying, stop kicking, kissing his ass and saying all the good things. Zero-based budgeting. Oh, no. Are we about to lose our amazing no audits for the Pentagon system? Is that what you mean? How will $2 trillion turn up missing every 10 years? I don't know.

Okay, here we go. Some of the same people that Elon Musk used during his Twitter takeover are now being deployed to help cut costs at the federal level. So it's worth asking, how successful were Elon Musk's tactics in reducing costs at Twitter? While he's cut costs in slashing back budgets, in reducing headcount by around 80% of people, corresponding revenue has also gone down. So he cut their workforce by 80% and Twitter got better.

I haven't noticed any lag time in my Twittering. And he cut 80. So there was, I guess, a bloated bureaucracy over there. Not enough people. So maybe he got rid of a lot of the people monitoring my pronoun usage. Yeah, those people. Remember they complained? Yeah. I remember that. People would get kicked out for dead naming people. You'd get kicked off for using the wrong pronoun, misgendering someone. So was that 80% of the people that he got rid of? I don't know.

So hang on. Watch how they try to make this into a bad thing. Watch this. Its valuation per investors has declined significantly from the $44 billion that Musk paid for the company in 2022. And what happened to those who were late? So what she's saying is he paid $44 billion for it, and now it's not worth $44 billion anymore. It's worth less than that. But what is the profit margin? Let's find out. Right.

Very selective with their information. And the goal is to push a certain narrative to get you to think that what Elon is doing with the government is bad. But they say, "Hey, you know, if you want to see what he's doing with the government, just look at what he did with Twitter when he took it over." So yes, he cut a bunch of staff that was unnecessary and he cut unnecessary costs down. If we apply that to the government, that means more taxpayer savings and more money for us to get our government out of debt. But that's not it. All they told you is that revenues have decreased. So let's go back specifically to what he said.

Notice how he didn't say corresponding profit has also went down. Because it hasn't. Notice how he also didn't tell you that there was an advertising coup against X.

a bunch of platforms stopped advertising on there to hurt the platform since Elon took it over. And as we found out from Mike Benz, that that's a typical CIA strategy, deep state, USA is to try to target advertisers. And that's how you silence a voice you don't want heard. So they don't want free speech on Twitter. So they targeted their advertisers. That's exactly what they did.

Oh, is that what the monopolies are for? So that you can't have free commerce and you're already controlled by getting advertisers, which is bad enough. Yes. But we're going to take them away. Yeah, so that's exactly what they did to Zuckerberg at Facebook, and it worked. And the reason it worked, because Zuckerberg isn't smart enough to figure out a way around his advertisers. And number two, Elon Musk, as Mike Benz told us, is a three-digit billionaire, as opposed to...

zuckerberg who's only a two-digit billionaire so he was able to withstand that onslaught a lot better than zuckerberg he didn't understand it at all he just he folded over in 2019 zuckerberg was saying hey facebook is censoring too much and then the deep state said you better censor even more and he was like okay because they because they did a advertising thing on him and he lost 40 something like 40 billion dollars

So he immediately rolled over. Well, Musk didn't do that. Musk then started charging people $8 to go and even more to be premium members and things like that. And so he found other ways to subsidize that business and make it even more profitable. Anyway, I'll let this guy, he can tell you. Look,

But let's go back to profit. He didn't say anything about profit or EBITDA. Let's read this. Start at the bottom paragraph. In 2021, Twitter reported adjusted EBITDA of about $682 million and about $5 billion in revenue. That was the last full year before Elon took the company private. Now let's go to the top.

X reported to investors 2024 adjusted earnings, basically adjusted EBITDA, right, of about $1.25 billion and an annual revenue of $2.7 billion.

Investors said that was a better picture than they had expected and that Exus Finances hit an inflection point a few months before the election. So even with advertisers working against Elon, the company now has less revenue but produces more profit. And mind you, Twitter was a very, very, very left-leaning company. Over 96% of political donations from Twitter employees went to Democrats. It was a very left-leaning company.

it was run by the left. So Elon took that company over, removed all the unnecessary pieces, and removed the people that would be harmful to the platform. Dealt with advertisers trying to destroy his platform and still turned it around. Now it has more features than ever and is more profitable than it was when he took it over with less revenue. And like she said in the beginning, if you want to understand what Elon Musk is doing now to the federal government, all you have to do is look at what he did at Twitter. So

Oh, yeah, because Twitter's totally failing. Not like Blue Sky or Mastodon or Threads. Yeah, Twitter lost a lot of blue-haired furries wearing diapers, okay? Now we may lose our federal diaper furries. Oh, my God.

Hang on, he's got more to say. Now let's think about it. He cut the expenses at Twitter, which would mean he would cut the expenses for the federal government, meaning they would require less tax revenue from you and I. He then made Twitter much more profitable. If he makes the federal government much more profitable, that means more access to pay off our debts and then more access to provide services for the American people.

Twitter has greatly benefited from Elon Musk and our federal government will do the same. The less expenses our government has, the less tax revenue they need to collect from you and I, the less tax revenue you and I pay, the more money we get to keep in our pockets. And the more profitable the government is, the more they can reinvest back into the American people rather than just paying debts. Do not listen to these news outlets. Elon and Doge are doing exactly what we need. So again, I'm not saying that Elon Musk is a panacea or

or that either is Doge or what I'm saying that it's good to have an audit of the federal government and it's good to get rid of USAID. And if you're against getting rid of USAID, then you're a puppet and you're a propagandized tool of the deep state. Congratulations. You sound just as dumb as Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer. Congratulations. You sound just as dumb as demented Joe. Thank congratulations. You sound just like morning Joe. Congratulations.

You sound like Joy and Reed. Go ahead. I wouldn't say you sound as smart as them because they know they're lying to you. Yes. So, like, that's a good deal dumber than even Maxine Waters. I was at the Comedy Magic Club down in Hermosa Beach on Saturday, and people were at... Comedians, you know, they're...

Turns out they're just as susceptible to propaganda as everybody. Just look at what happened during COVID. So a lot of the same people who are telling people to don't do your own research during COVID are not going along with the propaganda right now about Doge. They were going, hey, Jimmy, this USAID, that's just a CIA thing, right? And I'm like, yeah, and I wouldn't explain it to them, and I explain how they do coups.

And I would explain how they use their money, their soft power to help corporations in the United States, but not necessarily help the people of that country and stuff like that. And so and they're like, yeah, yeah, that's what I figured. So I don't think this propaganda push is really it's only hitting with the Harris voters. Right. If you were dumb enough to vote. Twitter didn't go downhill. The only way Twitter went downhill was people they don't like got to talk again to a certain degree.

Not even like free speech, just mildly freer speech, which is an improvement for sure. That's really the secret of the success of Twitter. Let people talk. But but all right, let's debunk the New York Times. Hang on. But she's a young person.

Kurt, young people wouldn't lie about the future that they're supposed to be a part of. I mean, no amount of money could make them lie, right? She's dumb. She's young, so she's dumb. A young person who's anti-doze, that's like a drummer who's into his anti-panel van. You know what I mean? They insist on driving in their own smart car with their set of drums and a separate Uber following along. Yeah.

Yeah, all these young reporters at New York Times are cast like that idiot from the BBC misinformation brigade. They don't know anything. They're just willing to be complete puppets. They're usually from a rich family. They've been trained to be suck-ups from birth. And I'm not saying that the money that they save with USAID or with any of their other audits is going to come back to us or they're going to actually use to pay off the debt. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that it's good to have an audit.

And it's good to get rid of USAID. It's good to have an audit of the Pentagon. It's good to have an audit of the Treasury Department. It's good to have an audit of USAID. It's good to know where our money's going and what it's actually being spent on so we could find out, hey, is the government actually funding en masse propaganda news outlets around the world and in our own country? The answer to that would be yes. And that's the least evil thing they fund, and that's pretty bad. Yeah, and that's pretty bad.

Hey, remember when they couldn't find the $2 trillion, but we never could audit or look into it because 9-11 happened like right after? Yeah, right. The next day. In fact, the next day. Yeah. They blew up the records in that one building. The Secretary of Defense said, oh, we can't count for $2 trillion. The next day, 9-11 happens. And son of a gun, one of the planes...

went right into the office where they were doing all the accounting. So I guess we'll never know where that $2 trillion went. Wow. Damn you, and also thank you, terrorists. First of all, what an amazing pilot, that terrorist pilot who never officially ever even knew how to land a plane and did a maneuver that most seasoned pilots said they couldn't have pulled off.

So that guy must have been a real savant when it came to piloting jumbo jets. Am I right? Yeah. You're dumb enough to leave his passport lying around in the airport. Yeah. Passports were not burned in the fire. And it certainly wasn't being controlled remotely. They would never do that.

A man performing during the Kendrick Lamar halftime concert at the Super Bowl unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and finally tackled and was removed by security. Oh, thank God.

The NFL confirmed that the individual is going to be banned for life from all NFL stadiums. The good news is the man can still watch games from outside the stadium where the NFL will control his access to food and water while the U.S. government sends bombs to drop on the man's house. He's been displaced from the stadium. So here it is. Here's how it happened. Good for him. Good for him.

Bold. Good for him. And alone. I wonder if the security thinks he's part of the show. Oh. Oh, now they got him. Oh. Now they got him. Oh, men in suits, not even in football uniforms. Right. Men in suits had to tackle him. Oh, more suits. That's another different kind of tackle. Look at all these suits. And then he just collapses like a baby when you're trying to pick up a baby. That's a smart move. I like that move. Seems like people are cheering for him. Who's stupid dance going on? Yeah, we can't play the music for copyright, right? Right. So...

Thank God for those courageous security people protecting me from my own conscience. I can't hear you. And having to look at what my tax dollars helped perpetrate. I don't want to see that kind of guilt trip while I'm watching men brutally smash into each other for sport. I don't want to see it during a rap concert, especially while Kendrick is saying, turn the TV off. That's what he was saying, right?

It's hard to hear because I think he insisted on not lip syncing, which doesn't work in that setting. And I just imagine doing that stupid dance while someone's being tackled by security. Like, I would never be able to keep my concentration. Here's a story about it. Super Bowl halftime performer detained after unfurling suit. So he was one of the performers. Oh, good for him. Yeah. Bold. Good for him.

What's the shoot-in part? I don't really get it. We will explain it to you in a second. It's coming up. It's in this segment. A performer in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show was detained late Sunday after showing a Sudanese-Palestinian flag on the field. The NFL confirmed to the Associated Press that the individual will be banned for life. But they could still bomb his house. Uh...

But how did he become the only interesting part of the halftime show? Isn't that that's really it really was the only interesting part. Like Kendrick Lamar is a good rapper, but like he's such as bought. He's the same as Drake, the guy he hates. They got him dressed up with a crown of thorns like Jesus, just like they did with Kanye years ago. Now Kanye is crazy. And 10 years from now, Kendrick will be selling swastika T-shirts and gibbering nonsense. It's interesting how they don't want to give the name of the guy.

Isn't it? They're usually anxious to give it out. Yeah. Yeah, that is weird. So the New Orleans Police Department also said authorities were working to determine applicable charges. New Orleans Police Department said the statement to the Hill that the individual detained an adult black male was ejected from the stadium after the incident. How's he going to find out what happened during the game? Yeah. Did you get to hear the song ended?

No arrest, no summons was issued. Really? They don't want to arrest him? And the individual's not going to be identified? Isn't that interesting? Because they don't want that guy being interviewed because if they identified him and arrested him, if he arrested him, that's public record. So everyone would know who he is. And then he would be going around everybody's podcast doing interviews. And that's the last thing they want.

Right. So they didn't charge him. The individual stood out a prop car used in the performance and unfurled a combination flag with the words Sudan and Gaza written on it. The NFL told the AP that the performer hid the flag during the beginning of the show and revealed it late in the performance. No one involved in the production knew of his plans. The performance continued without a major disruption, unfortunately, because the performance was boring. This legend has been identified. Oh, here he is. That's him. That's the legend.

Oh, I can't say that. I can't say that. Zulkarnian. I don't know how to say his name. Everybody just calls him Buster. The performer who raised a dual Sudanese-Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar's... He has no regrets about the stunt, which exposed a massive security failure for a major event attended by the U.S. president. So that's his name. Zulkarnian Natambu.

confirmed that he unfurled the banner emblazoned with the words Sudan and Gaza in New Orleans on Sunday as a message of solidarity to the victims of those conflicts. Good for him. He has been banned from the NFL stadiums. He's seen by millions. He says he was hired as a participant in the show and was part of the Super Bowl preparations over the previous two weeks, raising questions over the extent of the vetting process.

He should be charged with the crime of exhibiting that he has a conscience. I think that's a crime. Also, I'm sure it violates some kind of anti-BDS law, which I think are just laws that you're allowed to boycott or divest from an Israel investment. You are charged with the crime of demonstrating your conscience during an event concocted by the ancient Romans to make you love war and authority. And also give you brain damage.

If you could hear it, the funny, we can't play it, but the funniest part was how long it took the guys in the booth to figure out that that was the wrong color flag for the show. Hey, that one guy's really not staying with the dance routine. He says he deliberately unfurled his flag at the same time other banners were displayed as part of Lamar's set and that the celebrated rapper knew nothing. That may quiet, that may quieten. That's not a word.

That made quiet speculations on social media that Nantumbu's protest was sanctioned by organizers of the halftime show and that the protest was effectively an inside job.

It wasn't a part of the plan. Okay, it wasn't. We get it. But here's this guy to tell you about the Sudan. You ready for this guy? Watch this. Look, in case you couldn't tell, I'm British, and so I don't really care about the Super Bowl. But I do have to say that this guy really piqued my interest. The man who, during Kendrick Lamar's performance, held up a flag with Sudan Gaza on it and was later tackled by security. And I think that this is a very important act.

because people should realise how interconnected what's happened in Gaza over the last 16 months and the horrors of Sudan really are. Now, in case you didn't know what's happening in Sudan, since about 2021, one of the most horrifying militias in the world, known as the Rapid Support Forces, has been waging a brutal campaign of horrors that I really can't even detail in this video. And the reason that they've been able to do this is because they are backed

by one of America and the West's key allies in the Middle East, the United Arab Emirates. Now, the UAE always tries to deny their involvement in what's happening in Sudan, but their fingerprints are all over it. In fact, they've even been caught smuggling weapons disguised as humanitarian aid to the RSF. And the reasons that they are doing this are multiple. First of all, they like the mercenaries that they're able to get from Sudan. They deployed them against the Yemeni people in the 2010s,

and they love the amount of gold that they can extract from Sudan. And finally, they think Hamadity will make a great leader for the Sudanese people because like Sisi, who they propped up in Egypt, this guy will enforce political quietism and quite likely will normalize relations

with Israel. And this is the part of the reason that the Sudanese and the Palestinian struggle are so deeply intertwined. People need to realise that forces like the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East are just as bad as Israel. They are key to Israel being able to do what it does because this is a country which is deciding who will rule the Middle East. In 2011, they launched a counter-revolution to ensure that the Middle East didn't get democracy and might appoint leaders who

wouldn't be interested in the American worldview for the region. That's why they helped to depose of Mohamed Morsi in Egypt. And so to this brave man who risks so much, kudos to you. And I hope he makes more people realize the interconnectedness of the Sudanese and the Palestinian struggle against Western imperialism.

So that's what the Sudanese thing has to do. That's a good point because people, you know, you'd rarely hear UAE come up. I mean, I regularly bring up traj in the Saudis and Israel and Pakistan or whatever, but UAE doesn't come up that much unless they're not allowing rainbow flag shirts at the soccer game.

And so you can say whatever you want about the Saudis, but I'll tell you this. They know how to make a durable passport. They can withstand plane crashes, building collapses. They don't make passports like that no more. They don't make passports like that anymore. So here's a guy...

Uh, here's a guy who spent five years in a foxhole in Da Nang. We thought it'd be funny if we replaced everyone in his apartment complex with Viet Cong. Now let's watch the fun as he goes to pay his rent. Uh, my good friend from Milwaukee's hilarious comedy bit. Uh, if you're wondering, uh,

Why your favorite athletes remain silent or worse, published Israeli propaganda. Listen to what happened when Dwight Howard tweeted. He only did was tweet free Palestine. Watch what happened. So I tweet free Palestine. Less than 10 minutes after I tweet that, I get a call from the commissioner of the NBA. Stop it. Agents.

People, like, working with my foundation at the time, Texas, you got to erase this tweet. You got to take this down. You're going to get in... I'm like, what did I do that was so bad? Can somebody explain to me? Yeah, can somebody explain? You know, and it was just like because I...

went against the grain. I said something that people didn't like. And I, you know, now... Not people didn't like, they didn't like. So now it's like, I got to stand on what I believe and how I feel and not go back on it. Yeah. And when you're in the league, you be in that place where if I say too much, if I say something, I may not get a job no more. That's that 70% of people that's out the league that got you. I got to hold my tongue.

Yeah, well, that's why the whole system is slavery right there. The whole system is slavery. If you get paid a lot, you're still a slave. Watch your mouth, slave. That's everybody. Everybody whose job can be taken away for saying a truthful thing. Yep. And, you know, the problem with saying free Palestine to a Zionist is that they think it means that all the land is now free to take like a swag bag. Yeah. Oh, thanks. Thanks. Don't mind if I do. Yeah. I'm just kidding. They don't say thanks. Ha ha ha ha ha.

No thanks, no tip. Yeah, free policy just sounds like, no, oh yeah, it's ours to take. 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. Doge just found out, even after that Biden administration had assured us

that they were not giving FEMA money to migrants, illegal immigrants. Turns out, as the electioneered, cringe John Pierre assured Americans that no FEMA funds were being diverted to illegals. Lock her up. Today, Elon exposed that FEMA is still sending taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants. Just last week, having sent $59 million to illegals for luxury hotels. Now, I don't care...

what elon musk's motives was to expose that i want to know that i want to know show me hillary's emails if russia if putin himself personally text me hillary's secrets i want to see what his motives are i'm going to tell everyone that's right so here's cringe cringe gene perrier so disaster relief this is a falsehood disaster relief funds used on immigrants illegally in the u.s

The fact is, no money is being diverted from responses. And it's appropriate that she's wearing a gangster suit from the 30s because she's a gangster. That's the fact. So that's the fact. Well, this is what Doge, this is what Elon Musk says. The Doge team just discovered that FEMA sent $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants.

Sending this money violated the law and it is in gross insubordination to the president's executive order. That money is meant for American disaster relief and is instead being spent on high-end hotels for illegal immigrants. A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

I remember that story. I remember us covering, maybe not an exact video, but they were doing a little weasel word thing. They're like, nothing has been allocated for illegal immigrants. Yeah, we know, sweetie. They took the money for American disaster relief and gave it to that. That's all that means. Right. So that's why she's confidently going, no money was set aside for that. We stole it from another thing that was not supposed to be that. That's really what happened.

He so he retweeted Western Lensman and he said, yes, that was a huge lie by the Biden administration. The lie that that way they weren't doing that. Funds were diverted for almost every part of the from almost every part of the federal government to maximize the number of illegal immigrants in America.

There also appear to be significant funds siphoned from Social Security to pay for illegal immigrants. Oh, that's why they don't want him. That's why they don't want him to see it. Oh, that's why Social Security. We can't. It's not going to work for too much longer because we've been stealing at. Oh, so here is a video from Aaron Durham.

So Matt Van Swall says, so when hundreds of people were waiting in lines for propane in Western North Carolina so they wouldn't freeze to death, we were sending $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City for illegal immigrants. Make it make sense. I can. So here's the...

There's the line for people in North Carolina in line to get propane so they don't freeze to death. That's just for propane. That's the line just for propane. Yeah, this is on purpose. They wanted this to happen to you. They wanted this to happen. This is on purpose. Make it make sense. On purpose, they're trying to ruin your lives and destroy you. That's what it is. That's so they can get heat.

This is the line. No, it's not their house. They're just here to get some heat, buddy. Oh, is it going around? It goes around. It goes around. Oh, I don't even see the end. Yeah. So those deep state judges are going to get cute, but when you see something like that, if it comes to blows, those judges ain't the ones that are going to win. Look how many people they screwed. You think those people are going to be mad that Trump dismantles the deep state? They're not.

Black people in Chicago are happy about what Trump's doing. Just so you know. Never seen anything like it in my life. Black people in Chicago are happy about it. They're like, you got $50 million for illegal immigrants? I'm a citizen. I've been paying taxes my whole life. Never met. Where's the money for our community? You guys are shutting down schools in our communities. This guy is the at FEMA underscore cam.

Because I want to thank Doge team for making me aware of this. Effective yesterday, these payments have all been suspended from FEMA. Personnel will be held accountable. That proposed, Ray proposed community notes. I haven't seen the community note. Oh, okay.

They told us FEMA had no money for Americans on Maui, no money for Americans in East Palestine, Ohio, no money for Americans in Western North Carolina. But FEMA had an extra $1 billion to spend on illegal immigrants. What? I don't know where he gets that $1 billion money from. But Elon retweets him and says, under Biden, FEMA took money away from Americans in need of disaster relief and spent it on five-star hotels for illegal immigrants. Pure evil.

Well, I mean, is it as evil when they tested an experimental gene therapy bioweapon on you? Mandatory? I mean, what did you expect them to do? They try to kill you with it. Meanwhile, there's Chuck Schumer screaming about the money that they're cutting from USAID, but not screaming about North Carolina.

Zero outrage for that. They've got outrage over there. There she is also screaming about the money they're cutting from USAID. Zero outrage for not giving, for fixing California or being ready to fight a fire. The one Somalis boo. I love the people. Yeah, Somalis boo her. Don't like her. In her own district. She's a scumbag part of the cabal. They're all part of the international cabal and that's what it is. It's called the deep state and shadow government. Zero outrage for Hawaii and Lahaina.

Oh, Maxine Waters, that genius. You said he want to use all money to go to Mars, but we want to spend it in D.C. What a genius. Yes. She thinks Elon's spending it on Mars. This is really happening. Hey, there's only morons and senile people running your party entirely.

And then the Republicans that like you, they're also senile. Is that dawning on anyone yet? I think it has because of how badly Kamala lost that election. But yeah, no, the deep state is going to try to hook their claws in and stay. So I hope Trump came in with extra plans. I really do. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up.
