Come see us live on tour in Toronto, Red Bank, New Jersey, Northampton, Massachusetts, Concord, New Hampshire, Rutherford, New Jersey, New York, New York, Edmonton, Alberta, Calgary, Vancouver. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Hello, this is the Jimmy Dore Show. Russell Dobular speaking. Who's calling, please? Hey, what's up, dude? This is J.D. Vance. Boom. Mr. Vice President, how nice of you to call. What's on your mind?
Basically, I have one thing on my mind, and that is Iran, a.k.a. Persia. Kind of weird when a country has two names, don't you think? We should bomb them just for that, in my opinion. That's shady. So you are for the U.S. getting involved in this conflict? Oh, yeah, dude, for sure. I mean, we all sort of knew this was going to happen eventually, but...
People have been talking about it for decades now. It's almost like, I mean, let's just do it and get it over with, you know? Do you honestly think that's a good reason to start what is sure to become a world war? Let's just do this inevitable thing? Well, when you put it that way, yes. I see. But that's not the reasoning we'll put forth, needless to say. We're just going with the boilerplate, Iran simply can't have a nuclear weapon thing.
Oh, okay, but what if they're not building one? What then? Well, we just say they are. We're the U.S. government. Trust us, the Iranians are making nuclear bombs in a secret bunker 300 feet underground. We know this because of government, right? Worked for the Iraq war. Oh, yeah, worked like a charm. That was great.
Hey, look, I've gone on the record saying I think the foreign policy that led to the Iraq war was a disaster and was terribly misguided. Well, what makes you think a war against Iran would go any better?
Because it just will. Everyone knows it. I don't think everybody knows it, actually. Even in your own party. Some Republicans seem to remember Trump's no foreign entanglements promises. Yeah, which is unfortunate. I'm glad you brought that up, actually. It's been hard. Like, the party is starting to tear itself apart over it. I had to come to Tulsi Gabbard's defense because she had said that Iran had a bunch of uranium, but it didn't seem to be building weapons.
And then so Trump had to disown her comments, said, I don't care what she said. So then the war hawks were like, yeah, fuck that bitch. And I'm like, hold on. She's cool, man. Everybody calm down. I just hate seeing people fight over a war. Yeah, that's a real tragedy. Because the big picture here is that Israel is our number one ally in the world. They're the most important one. Everyone knows it. Everyone is a good person, at least.
And they started this war, and they want us to join them, so we basically have to. None of that made any sense. So you're saying if Israel tells us to go to war, we have to obey them? I mean, they're basically like the God people, like God's people. So, yeah, kind of. Okay. All right. And the United States jumping into this war would really help Israel's main objective, right?
Coupling the Iranian regime? No, providing enough distraction so that Israel can complete their genocide in Gaza without the world really noticing. Wow. Okay, so first of all, you do admit that what's happening in Gaza is a genocide. Oh, of course. That's obvious. I mean, needless to say, we have to state that Israel has the right to defend itself as if them shooting children and aid workers is defensive in some way.
But when it comes to Israel, we can just say the sky is green. And if you don't think the sky is green, you're an anti-Semite. Pretty awesome, really.
I will agree there. You all really have some people fooled. You can say that again. So we invade Iran, and years later and hundreds of thousands of American lives later, no one is going to notice that there are no more Palestinians left in Gaza, and Israel is building oceanfront condos. So what's the reason for this war then? Well, the reason is defending our freedoms and the American way of life. Oh, sure, of course.
Right, but you know, like the reason reason is the Israel-Gaza thing. Okay, well then thanks for your honesty, I suppose. My pleasure, Russell. Oh, if you could just keep this between you and me, if you could. Yeah, not a problem. Vice President J.D. Vance.
New York has, well, it looks like they're close to having a new mayor. And the new mayor is Zoran Mamdani. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. He won the New York City Democratic election.
Primary, which first of all, when did Democrats start holding primaries? I thought primaries were a threat to democracy. Am I wrong about this? Yeah, it's weird. Weird stuff. So you know what that means? So this is a Muslim. I know what that means. It's like the groundhog. So the Zionist community has lost New York City.
There's no place on earth where you're welcome anymore, except for the place you are clamoring to the airport to get out of right now. You're about as popular as sushi in Death Valley. Not going well for the Zionists. And let's remember, so there he is, Zoran Mamdami, and here's what I think actually won it for him. Do you want to see what I think won it for him? So during the debate, they had a who could suck off Israel harder debate.
And he didn't participate. He went to a diddy party and said, no, thank you. It looks like the SNL sketch that they pulled. Yes. Yes. They literally did it. This looks remember that SNL sketch where they said I would have sex with the donkey for Israel. Of course I would. Yeah. And so this is basically this is the real life version of that. Let's watch. The first foreign visit by a mayor of New York is always considered significant. Where would you go first? Left, right, left, right.
first visit, I would visit the Holy Land. Mr. Cuomo? Given the hostility and the anti-Semitism that has been shown in New York, I would go to Israel.
Mr. Tilson, where would you go? Yeah, I'd make my fourth trip to Israel, followed by my fifth trip to Ukraine, two of our greatest allies fighting on the front lines of the global war on terror. Mr. Mamdani. I would stay in New York City. My plans are to address New Yorkers across the five boroughs and focus on that. Mr. Mamdani. I would stay in New York City and do the job people just elected me to do.
It is not like the others. Now it's time to play our game. So they didn't let it stop there. So they went after him over this. Watch this. Donnie, can I just jump in? Would you visit Israel as mayor? I will be doing as the mayor. I'll be standing up for Jewish New Yorkers and I'll be meeting them wherever they are across the five boroughs, whether that's in their synagogues and temples or
or at their homes, or at the subway platform, because ultimately we need to focus on delivering on their concerns. - And just yes or no, do you believe in a Jewish state of Israel? - I believe Israel has the right to exist. - Not as a Jewish state? - As a state with equal rights.
He won't say it has a right to exist as a Jewish state, be very clear on that. And his answer was no, he won't visit Israel. So what just happened there was they asked him, do you believe that Israel has a right to be an apartheid Jewish supremacy based state? Because that's what it is. It's an apartheid state based on Jewish supremacy. And he said, no, I will support Israel's right to exist if it has equal rights for everybody.
Which is what you would think. That's the right answer. Well, it turns out it was. It turns out it was. And I'm just sure I'm not sure how that guy won the New York primary after such blatant anti-Semitism. Yeah, it was shocking. I mean, you know what? I'm going to assume that this means that Benjamin Netanyahu is about to go to prison.
Yeah, Zionists are not unpopular. Benjamin Netanyahu is. I also called that one. I said they're going to pin it all on Bibi by the end of it because look at the perfect out for this disaster. So they don't like Bibi. They all rallied around him because they're racist. You mean the people... Like how they say Muslims are. You mean the people in Israel. They don't like... They don't... You know what? In March or April, there was a poll done. Like 80% of them want him prosecuted. Of the people in Israel.
But he's still not worse than an Arab. But he's still, no. Yeah. So that's what the deal is. But he's such a disaster. And those two terrorists he hangs out with that Israel calls terrorists and we call terrorists. Yeah. They don't like it and they're getting sick of it and they're not winning. They haven't been winning. And they just killed all those people on TikTok for everyone to see. And people are starting to say something. It doesn't feel safe.
So it's going to fall on him. That's my prediction. Perfect out for... And if it doesn't fall on him, then it's World War III because he either has to go or we have to go to World War III. Yeah. So that's another story. We're going to get to it. So let's... It was wild to watch him. He didn't even...
Do you denounce Hamas? Do you denounce Hamas? He won't even denounce hummus. I mean, this guy's a hardliner. So now the Zionists are going to, so this isn't over. So there's a general election coming and the Zionists are going to retreat to their old dirty tricks of being pushy and hopefully somebody hits them on camera.
Yeah, that's right. Hey, do you deny, do you denounce Hamas? That depends how much Tahin they put in it. I think that's reasonable. So just to let you know, did you know that Andrew Cuomo actually joined the defense team for Benjamin Netanyahu at the International Criminal Court? He better. Cuomo joins- And who better as a character witness? He joins Netanyahu's, who better as a character witness? He joined Netanyahu's legal defense team. Ah!
Did you know that? No. Yes. Yes. And the Dersh. The Dersh is over there. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
Oh, my God. The dirge. Matt Stoller, friend of the show, he says, AIPAC lost massively tonight. No one buys their obnoxious gaslighting anymore, Jewish voters included. That's what I say on stage. I say, you know, Trump trying to make Jewish people a protected class and everything, every criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism. Most Jews don't go along with that. So he's really...
He's not protecting most Jews. He's protecting a subset of Jews called Zionists. Yeah. And APEC, let's remember, APEC loses about as gracefully as Conor McGregor. Am I right? Come on. So, Max Blumenthal, word of caution. And I have, again, I'm not getting excited about this guy's mayoral title.
uh term i'm not jenna said it aoc just right there yeah he's an aoc guy so i the pressure will come down on him and he will fall in line i bet uh be a regular democrat after aoc this is max blumenthal talking after aoc i view every candidate cultivated and endorsed by dsa was so let's remember the democratic socialists of america are just democrats
Those are the people who ask you to stop whispering at a meeting. And those are those people. And those are the people who wouldn't get on board with forced to vote, which was their own idea in their own handbook. And they turned against me. They made me the bad guy because they decided to defend a politician who was turning their back on their own handbook.
Are they compromised? I don't know. So the DSA is fully infiltrated and compromised by the CIA and the FBI. I'm not saying there aren't good people at the local level that work for DSA and there aren't people who have their heart in the right place. But just know that just like the Democratic Party, the DSA is also fully compromised and controlled.
You know how you can tell by all of their actions? Yeah, just like AOC. AOC, just like Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders had half the Democratic Party ask them to do nothing. AOC has something like 12, 13 million Twitter followers alone. She has never asked them to do a thing. She's never asked them to protest. She's never asked them to go on strike. She's never asked them to do anything.
So Max Blumenthal then says, he has a caveat, but I can still offer a hopeful take on the New York City primary. And here it is. Cuomo made the race a referendum on Israel. He even volunteered for Netanyahu's legal team and Israel lost. So that's the there's the silver lining. That's the good thing here. I'm not going to try and get worked up and excited.
It's a primary. About this guy. Right. So there's a good chance that Cuomo might even still win. There's a good chance a Republican will take the mayor's race this year, I bet. Well, it's going to be Eric Adams is running. Oh, I think he'll do just fine, as Trump said to him at the Al Smith dinner. Yeah, he's going to be fine. Yeah. So Eric Adams is still running.
uh andrew cuomo is going to run that's two independents and then there's going to be a republican and there's no so there's no rank choice voting so it's just a a zero-sum game whoever gets the most votes is the mayor and so there's a good chance andrew cuomo could be i can't see eric adams being re-elected but i i can't see cuomo doing something but boy watch out so uh
And shouldn't it haunt every New Yorker that Cuomo thought this strategy was so viable that it would still work after he killed all those old people and also got MeToo'd? Hey, forget Cuomo's earlier crimes. He promised to go on vacation to Israel. His very first day on the job of being mayor of not Israel. He's got my vote. So, uh...
Yeah, it looks like the Cuomo bump doesn't land you where you were hoping anymore. Wait. Like who in their right mind would think that putting him on your team would set things straight? Oh, I'm sorry. By the way, here's Charlie Kirk.
Now, Charlie Kirk, we agree on some things and disagree with on others. This would be one of the big disagreements. Yes, and his head shape. I disagree with the shape of his head. So he says, 24 years ago, a group of Muslims killed 2,753 people on 9-11. Now a Muslim socialist is on pace to run New York City.
Charlie, you know, there's like I don't know how many billions of Muslims there are in the world. You know, wasn't it a Christian who did the Oklahoma City bombing? Yeah. And weren't all of them programmed by Dick Cheney and George Bush who went on to be the president after they killed all those people with a false flag thing? Charlie, you dumbass. So, I mean, yeah.
And all I can say is Charlie Kirk doesn't know that he is actually serving the people who took those towers down. Does he not know that? Well, as part of the MK program, you don't know that. You're what's called a Manchurian candidate. Although he's got a very thick head. I don't know how they would have programmed it. So someone named Jessica Tarlov says, Charlie, this is so gross and Islamophobic. Take it down. Yes.
Charlie Kirk says, debate me on the merits. Don't just throw out. Well, I guess the merits are that you're pretending all Muslims are terrorists, just like we could do that about Christians because it was a Christian who did Oklahoma City bombing. We're Israelis who do false flags on the regular and have a criminal record of doing that that we can refer to easily to know if they did that or not. Thought terminating cliches. You mean like anti-Semitism?
So he says, debate me on the merits. Don't just throw out petty thought terminating cliches. Like anti-Semitism. This isn't like anti-Semitism. This isn't 2015. That doesn't work anymore. Neither does anti-Semitism. What Muslim country do you prefer to live in, Jessica? What Western city or country has improved as the Muslim population has increased?
America's largest city was attacked by radical Islam 24 years ago, and now a similar form of that pernicious force is poised to capture City Hall. What? What? They weren't socialists. They were Al-Qaeda. Yeah, they were Al-Qaeda. Yeah, they're not Bernie Sanders socialists.
be courageous enough as a liberal to call it out. I know deep down you're worried about what he will do. You just are afraid to say it. Lower the rent? Oh, God, you don't think? He won't. Don't worry, Charlie. He's a fake. Charlie, he's a fake like you. Don't worry. Yeah, don't worry.
He's not going to. Jessica comes back. I'm not afraid to say that I don't think Mamdani's vision for the city is a good one. And I think a lot of his policies are crazy. New York City is the home of capitalism, not socialism. I want more police funding, not to defund it. BDS is repellent. What's that? That's a boycott, boycott, divestment and sanction of Israel. I'm for that, by the way.
I can be however I want about it. We can't freeze rent, making everything free, but none of that has to do with him being Muslim. She's correct about that. None of that has to do. You could totally oppose those policies of his, which I oppose some of them. So the guy about to be New York City's next mayor wants to boycott and sanction Israel. First, every major candidate to say so.
First ever major candidate to say so. But that has totally nothing at all to do with him being Muslim. Charlie, I'm Irish and I'm totally for BDS and BDSM for that matter.
Oh, maybe he means he's Muslim. He's a little bit sore about the genocide they just did in Gaza that they did proudly in front of everyone. Maybe that's what he means by a Muslim having a little extra hey about things. So he's saying that the only reason this guy has anything to say about Israel is because he's Muslim. Lots of lots of Jews have stuff to say about Israel that he says to a lot of Palestinian Christians, that a lot of Palestinian Christians. That's right.
You know it does. You just are terrified about the social cost of saying it publicly. It's okay. I'll do it for you. Is it as high as the social cost of Charlie Kirk being able to say he fucked you? I'll bet that's a really high cost. That big-headed freak? How do you address his saying he wants to boycott and sanction Israel? This is another guy. Somebody named Gordon says this. Is that not a knuckle-dragging Islamic Nazi dog whistle?
No, again, no. Clearly his plan. A dog whistle is something only dogs can hear. That's right. So if you're hearing it, maybe you're an Islamic Nazi dog. Yeah, that's right. So that's not a dog whistle. But what I said is I'm Irish and I'm for boycott sanctions of Israel. I know lots of Jews who are also for sanctions and boycott of Israel. That's a very weak argument you're making.
Yeah. Vic says, newsflash, we all effing hate Israel. Genocidal Nazi state that's getting all of our tax money.
Shut the F up, dumbass. That's what Vic says. Ryan Dawson, friend of the show, says the United States murdered over a million Muslims in Iraq and Syria and Libya all over nothing. Oh, yeah, that's right. I forgot. We killed more people than Iran or Hamas or Hitler. We killed a lot of them. I don't
I don't know about Hitler, but we killed a lot of people. Six million people is nothing, right? Well, I guess you count the whole war and put it on Hitler. But I bet you we've beaten his score with our many adventures in 80 years, haven't we? 90% innocent people in Afghanistan. I bet we beat his score pound for pound. So, yes, Gordon is alive. That's his handle. Just barely. But he's not doing very well. I don't hold out a lot of hope for Gordon. So here's what people have been... Libs of TikTok tweeted this out.
And this is from 2020. So this is from five years ago. And he said, we will support existing decarceral legislation. So that's a fun word. What a knuckle-dragging Muslim. He wants to end cash bail. That's smart. That didn't work out. He wants to repeal the walking while trans ban. Haven't heard of that one. Guess what? Guess what? That already happened, Kurt. Guess who did it?
Andrew Cuomo. Really? Yeah. The walking while trans law refers to a now repealed New York statute of the penal code enacted in 1976, which criminalized loitering for the purpose of engaging in a prostitution offense. The law allowed police to arrest individuals based on a vague criteria, such as their clothing or their appearance or behavior leading to widespread profiling and harassment, particularly of transgender women of color.
Critics, including the LGBTQ advocates, argued it enabled discriminatory policing, often targeting trans women for simply existing in public spaces, regardless of whether they were engaged in sex work. For example, arrests were justified based on attire like short skirts or possession of condoms, disproportionately affecting black and Latin women.
with data showing 91% of the arrests in 2018 were black or Latin individuals, 80% of whom identified as women. Yeah, it's a shakedown. The law was repealed February 2nd, 2021, when Governor Andrew Cuomo signed legislation. So it was Cuomo who already did that. And he loves Israel. And he loves Israel.
So let's go back to his. So that's what walking while trans. So that already happened. Decriminalize sex work. Okay. What? Okay.
I've always been for decriminalizing sex work. I don't understand why if I pay someone to have sex, that's illegal. But if I put a camera in the room and release it as a video, that's called pornography. That's legal. Yeah, because Ronald Reagan notoriously loved pornography. That's why. Okay. So yeah, I believe people are allowed to do what they want with their bodies.
And if you think it's okay to have pornography, if you think that should be legal under the First Amendment, which I think it should, then so should sex work. Legalized marijuana. Okay, yeah. Did they do that in New York? Yeah, finally. Finally. So that happened a while ago. Okay.
So permit safe injection sites. Now, I get that again. So he's talking about heroin. Oh, not on my body. You mean like in the street? Yeah. I thought about driving between your toes. So that's very controversial. And I'm not I don't know enough to weigh in on that. But I know what the idea behind that is. The idea behind that is then you take it out of the
You have less people dying of ODs and things like that. That's the idea. People are going to do it anyway, try to make it safer, and then try to get them help. That's the idea. People say that's what wrecked Portland. That's not. It was fentanyl.
It was fentanyl that wrecked Portland. It wouldn't work in New York. It could work in Portugal because their government's going to do the other things to make it work. But New York would never do the other things to make that work. So that's why that's not real. So they decriminalized that kind of stuff in Portugal and it worked in Portugal. But that's what it looks like. It worked. I'm sure there are people who would argue that.
They enact restrict solitary confinement. I'm for that. That's torture. And it's torture and act elder parole, I guess, re-enfranchise incarcerated New Yorkers. Yeah. What? Yeah, sure. You're going to let them out of prison. Let's try to make sure that they don't end up back in prison because that's it. It costs a lot of money to put somebody in prison.
I think it's while they're in prison. He said, re-enfranchise incarcerated New Yorkers. That means they're in prison. They're incarcerated. So letting them vote in prison. Oh, is that what he's talking about? Oh, is that what that is? Yeah. You see, you're a slave once you're a prisoner. It's called state property. You might have heard of it. So here's another one. He also says, we will also introduce new decarceral legislation to decriminalize simple drug possession.
I'm for that. Repeal all mandatory minimum sentences. Okay, I don't know. You know, I'd like to give judge flexibility. Reduce maximum sentences with retroactive effect.
I guess you've got to take it by case-by-case basis. Repeal felony bump-up status. I don't know what that really refers to. Repeal sentencing enhancements and end cooperation with ICE. Now, I'm against that. I think you should cooperate with ICE if you're running the city. Why would you not cooperate with ICE to get rid of criminal illegal immigrants? Now, maybe you don't want to cooperate with them when they're wearing masks and hunting people down at Home Depots.
Yeah, but so I just think a blanket not I disagree with a blanket, just like I disagree with a blanket defund the police. I think you should more on it. You should you should stop asking police to do things that you should have a social worker do.
Yes, you underpay yet another... Because their union is sometimes out of control, right? But the gripes build up because they don't want to pay. Just like every other job, teacher, they don't want to pay people. So when you defund the police, what you're going to get is corrupt police. That's what you're going to get. Yeah. You need to have people that are like, oh, the job means something and I can support my... It's notorious going back to Godfather times, how much they weren't paying right. And that's why they do graft. So...
But people were freaking out. So Nightside tweets out, Zoran Mandami beating Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York mayor has caused a meltdown. Yes. You want to see some of the meltdown? Yes. Well, we showed you Charlie Kirk.
Here's a guy named Pastor Greg Locke. He says, New York City has fallen. The demonic sounds of Islamic prayer calls will soon be heard throughout the streets. The trash will pile higher than ever. Jews and Christians will be hated. Rape will skyrocket. New York City will be the next London.
Wait, what do you mean has fallen? It's already Babylon, Pastor Greg. Pastor Greg, do you live in New York and you thought it was like a city on a hill or something? That's the place that Christians think is bad. Stupid. Rape is going to skyrocket, Kurt. I bet it reaches Tel Aviv levels. That is scary. Well, like an IDF prison. It's going to be out of control. Like an IDF prison.
Uh, Gina Milan says, imagine telling your younger self that 25 years after nine 11, New York city where the towers fell would be so warped. It votes Al Qaeda's loyalists into power. You'll be called. Guess what? Trump just called Al Qaeda's leader in Syria, a good guy.
You mean J.D. Vance is running for mayor? What is she talking about? We installed Al-Qaeda. We installed Al-Qaeda in Syria. We're friends with Al-Qaeda now. We've been funding Al-Qaeda. Ever since we created them with Israel. Ever since we created them.
And we funded them. And Trump just had praise for the Al Qaeda leader who's now in charge of Syria. Al Qaeda loyalists. That is the goal, to put that, is, well, I expected better of Gina Milan. By the way, does anybody want to fill Gina Milan in on who actually did 9-11? Any takers? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Ixnay on the...
Here's one more. We'll do one more. Let's hope not. He will destroy us. He will remove police and replace them with social workers, government-owned grocery stores, as he said. He did propose to have some kind of government grocery store. So I say let him make a couple of government-run grocery stores for people, and then you'll see how bad they are, and people will hate them, right?
It's just like, why won't you let people buy into Medicare? Because that's called the public option. So let people buy into Medicare, and then they see how horrible it is, and they'll go running black back to Aetna and Blue Cross, right? Why wouldn't you let them? Hey, Israel has that, and they're pretty smart, and they have all kinds of stuff like that, don't they? That's right. That we pay for instead of us getting it.
Uh, so we will start taking away business privileges and tax companies and individuals obscene amounts to pay for free services. He will encourage illegal immigrants to stay. He hates America per his speech. I've read the companies have contingency plans to flee. If he wins in November, this is pure devastation. Eric Adams for New York city. Please don't let him win and save New York city. That stuff already happened. Geniuses. Did you, they not notice when that happened already? Yeah.
New York and L.A. I live in Austin like a lot of people had fled. Who is this? Let's see. GF Stock. So this is some Wall Street dipshit who apparently didn't know there was a lockdown that destroyed all the businesses. And Andrew Cuomo killed all them old people. I'll bet some were even Jews. What kind of moron? Oh, New York's going to fall now. They already did that. That's right. They already wiped out.
and closed down all the businesses in New York City. That's called that was my big argument with Cornel West when I had him on the show. He didn't give a shit about any of that. Forty one percent of all black owned businesses are shuttered permanently because of the lockdowns the Democrats did. And Cornel West didn't get good. Give a shit about it. Because he was insincere and he had an agenda and he didn't think you would ask him any questions. He thought he would just liberal his way through and you'd be like, oh, you're the best.
And so that already happened. So this idea that something bad that's anti-business is going to happen, it's already the worst thing that could possibly ever happen happened. This idea that fascism might come to America, that was my big problem with Cornel West too.
Fascism already came here, mandating experimental medical treatments for people or they can't go to work or school or travel. That's called Nazi stuff. Shutting down people's businesses over a virus that isn't deadly, as you say it is, and and was invented by the government. That's called fascism. It already came here.
24-hour surveillance on every man, woman, and child in America. You can't find the scary terrorist that must have snuck in. But you're spying on all of us for the last 20 years. That's right. And the real whistleblower, this is how you know if a whistleblower is real. They ran away to Russia because if you're a real whistleblower, you ain't going to live and stay in America. That's right. We already live in a surveillance state. They already got rid of habeas corpus. They can lock you up indefinitely, which they did to Chelsea Manning.
They prosecuted Julian Assange for doing journalism. Fascism already came here. So that was my big, big problem with Cornel West. This idea, because he lives in an ivory tower. He doesn't live in the real world like the rest of us. And it never affected him. So he didn't have a problem. So the people who were supposed to stand up for workers during COVID didn't. And it fell on the shoulders of jagoffs like me and Joe Rogan. That's who it fell on.
If you're wondering who's Intel and whatever the terms are, you know, managed opposition. Yeah. The people that look at what the fruits of their labor is, what it produced. Joe Rogan was right. You were right. Yeah. I think people like down you and okay, Jimmy's bad. Explain specifically what he is wrong about. Oh, well, they had nothing. I
I want to know specifically because I'll tell you if I thought you're wrong about something. They just none of them have specifics. They don't know what any words mean. And they don't care. The thing that kills me, Kurt, is those people still don't care that they were lied to about covid.
Nobody, comedians, the top comedians, late night talk show hosts, politicians, all my friends in Hollywood, none of them care that they were lied to about. They were lied to about the origin of the virus. They were lied to about the deadliness of the virus. They were lied to about the vaccine stopping transmission and contraction, which is the basis for mandates. They were lied to about herd immunity. They were lied to about natural immunity. They were lied to about lockdowns, which put kids back in school years that they'll never make up.
They were lied to about all that stuff. I was attacked over all of it, and I was right about every one of those things.
Yeah. How did you know? Yeah. It's called trauma based mind control. So on to the next trauma. Oh, no. A muzzy is going to be the mayor. It's going to be all the things I thought the other thing was going to do that I forgot about. Trauma based mind. Iran is going to get nukes. Remember, North Korea was going to get them. Yeah. Send in Seth Rogen and James Franco to stop it. Remember that? And then they did get it. And then we never spoke of it again. Is that weird? Isn't that weird?
Somehow North Korea has nukes and nobody goes to sleep worrying about North Korea using a nuke on us. And here's the irony. We're going to talk about this in a second. Here's the irony that if Iran actually did have a nuke,
Israel would have never started that war. There would have never been a war. Why would they want the nuke other than for that? The reason we had it with the Soviets. Remember Detente? That's right. So Israel has them and Iran has them. Now you can't overthrow each other. So if Iran had a nuke, there would never have been a war. That's what this is about because you want to overthrow them at some point. And if we're afraid to because they got nukes. That's right. What's that word? The Samson option? The one Israel's going to do if they lose? Where they blow the world up like you told me Iran would do? No.

So it turns out Israel's war on Iran has backfired on Israel.
Right.
Right. So that because they picked a fight with Iran, a fight they couldn't win. And here's Mersheimer. Here's to tell you all about how Iran's Iraq's war, Israel's war on Iran backfired. Let's watch. All the evidence, Glenn, is that the bombing campaign by Israel against Iran, which started, of course, on June 13th, has had exactly the opposite effect.
uh, in terms of the leadership of, uh, Iran, uh, the hardliners have taken over. The revolutionary guards are in control more than they ever were. Uh,
The Ayatollah Khomeini has been weakened because he's been forced to basically go into hiding and he's not in a position where he can command the country in any meaningful way. And furthermore, all the evidence is that the people are rallying around the flag. And we have a rich history of this happening every time a country launches a bombing campaign against another country for the purposes of regime change.
We have a rich historical record here, and there is not a single instance, I want to emphasize, not a single instance where bombing from the air alone has caused regime change. And all the evidence is that it causes a rally around the flag effect. So the idea that the Israelis are going to cause regime change with their air campaign is not a serious argument. And if you look at what's happened recently,
over the past 12 days, it has not turned out that the country is on the verge of regime change. If anything, the regime is in a better situation today than it was on June 12th, the day before the campaign started. So this is a failure.
So it was a failure because the goal of Israel was regime change. They knew that they weren't making a nuclear bomb. They knew that. And Trump hit their nuclear facilities. But what they really wanted was regime change. And exactly what he says, whenever you bomb a country, the people rally around their own country. And now you have the hardliners are now more in control because of this.
So, just like when, what Kurt? - They were losing control briefly, 'cause everybody was sick of the Ayatollah. But because a big evil monster called America and his little buddy, best friend Israel, are bearing down on them, blowing them up, starving them, they're all rallying together. Isn't that something? Who would've thought? Who would've thought? It's almost like how Israelis hate Netanyahu, but yet rallied around him.
I don't think it's a failure at all. I think Israel wants them to hate them because they want this war sooner or later. So, no, it's a success because, keep in mind, the ultimate energy source, not oil, not natural gas for Israel, is anti-Semitism. That's right. So they drilled, drill, baby, drill for that sweet anti-Semitism that keeps Israel going. So, yeah, you can't be a victor and a victim.
Right? Theodore Herzl said it. Theodore Herzl, the founder, he goes, as anti-Semitism gets bigger, I grow. Meaning he wanted it. So the real money is in losing, in the donations game, and all the stupid blind Americans who fork it over to them. So...
So there you go. So that's how the Israel attack on Iran actually backfired. It made the hardliners more in control. It made people rally around the flag of Iran.
And, you know, there were people are disenchanted with the Ayatollah. They are disenchanted with their government. Well, this did have the exact opposite effect, just like how people hated George Bush. And then there was a 9-11 attacks and people rallied. George Bush approval rating went up to like 80 percent. Remember that? Remember that? It's the exact same thing. The exact same thing. People wanted to hug him.
That's right. And so, and let's keep in mind the reason why Benjamin Netanyahu is doing these wars. He has to keep, he's doing a war in Yemen. He's doing a war in Gaza. He's doing a war in Lebanon. He's still bombing Syria while occupying it. And he started a war with Iran. This is the one guy. So the problem there, just as Turkey, just as Erdogan in Turkey said, the problem is Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel. The problem isn't Iran. The problem isn't Syria, Libya, Egypt.
Iraq, it isn't. It's Israel, as we've told you. And so, again, it's backfired. It's backfired on them. And...
So now, here's the irony, Kurt, that if they did have a nuclear bomb, this war would have never happened. And here's Merchant. Dude, I didn't even think of that. That's really funny. If only they'd had a nuke, we could have prevented this tragedy. We could have prevented this war. So here, let's... And it hurt Israel. This war hurt Israel. I'm going to show you a Steve Bannon video in the next segment. Steve Bannon said that Trump had to come in and save Israel.
Okay, so let's watch this. One of the concerns I have is that although this part of the war for the moment has ended, meaning there's no more planes flying or missiles flying over Iran and killing people and destroying things, I can't believe that regime change is not still very much in the minds of many, many people in Washington. And Tel Aviv, President Trump today said he didn't want regime change. He thinks the chaos that it would cause would be nowhere near worth the price. But you certainly have the U.S. and Israel funding various factions. You have the NDK, other factions that are loyal to the Mossad or to the CIA or the MI6 that are
And I guess my question to you is, compared to Libya, are those significant? Are they, those kinds of militias and proxies, capable of fighting a meaningful ground war to bring about regime change if they also have the air cover from Israel and the U.S.?
Well, the fact is that they have not been able to do it up to now. And after what's happened over the past 12 days, the regime has every incentive to crack down on those groups and make sure that they can't cause any trouble. Now, can I say with 100 percent certainty that there won't be an uprising in six months or 12 months? No, I can't. It's very hard to say how this plays out over time inside of Iran. So the idea is.
They wanted regime change. You can't get a regime change war just by bombing alone. It doesn't work, right? You have to have ground forces. That's why the United States had to actually send ground forces into Iraq.
They couldn't just bomb them. They have to have in Libya. They already had ground forces fighting, not the United States military, but they had terrorists funded, well-funded fighting against Gaddafi. They had ground troops already. Same thing in Syria. There was ground troops in there.
So you can't just do it with air power. You're going to have to send troops in. And so the question here is, well, there's groups inside of Iran that want to fight against the government and overthrow it. And could they do it with the air cover from the United States? And he's saying, well, now the government has every right to crack down on them even harder.
That's what he's saying. There we go. But the fact is that there is no evidence now of an uprising. And you also have a regime that has powerful incentives to make sure that that remains the case for the foreseeable future. So I don't think you're going to get regime change. But, Glenn, then the question pops up. What happens if you do get regime change? What's the happy ending here? Are you telling me that we're going to get a new regime that is going to say we don't want nuclear weapons? We don't want to cause Israel or the United States any trouble in the region.
and we're going to behave ourself according to the dictates of Israel. You think that's going to happen? Well, the dream is to get the Shah's son, who was a puppet of the U.S. and Israel, back into power in Iran. He's going to fly from Paris or whatever and be welcomed with open arms by the Iranians. And I think you see he's being treated almost as like Juan Guaido, you know, the legitimate president of Iran or the monarch of Iran by multiple Western media outlets. And that clearly is the plan. You know, they have that Ahmed Chalabi, too, was going to take over Iraq and be so welcome to try to not have another Iraq for 40 years. That is the vision.
And if you believe that, I have a bridge I want to sell you. This is not going to happen. I would also point out to you, of course, when the revolution in Iran took place in 1979, it was the Shah who was overthrown. The Shah had an ambitious nuclear program and the Shah was committed to acquiring nuclear weapons. And the reason is that it makes sense from Iran's point of view to have nuclear weapons. You know, Ehud Barak, the former prime minister of Israel and former defense minister as well, once said,
that he believed that Iran was pursuing nuclear weapons because it made so much sense. Just think about that statement. He of course is a very smart man and he is correct. It makes eminently good sense for Iran to have nuclear weapons. I have said on numerous occasions in public that if I had been the Iranian, uh, uh, national security advisor, they would have nuclear weapons today. I mean, the lesson of the past 12 days is that Iran was foolish not to get nuclear weapons in my opinion. Uh,
And the lesson now is to go out and get nuclear weapons, because if you had nuclear weapons, the Israelis and the Americans would not attack you. So I would just say that even if you get the Shah's son in power in Iran, I bet a lot of money that after a short period of time, he'd be very interested in building nuclear weapons, because, again, it makes good strategic sense. So even if they get their Shah back, he's probably going to want to get nuclear weapons because he doesn't want to end up like Gaddafi or Assad or Saddam Hussein.
So they're and and now, you know, I don't understand why like Russia or China doesn't sneak a nuke to Iran. Well, I don't know. I have to ask someone why that hasn't happened. That doesn't make sense because they're allies. So why wouldn't they send a nuke to Iran? I don't understand. Anyway, so there you go. Anything to add to that, Kurt?
I think I love the irony that the regime change probably is going to be Israel. Yes. If the regime change happens, look, I mean, I can't really forgive Trump for all the not doing the other things, but I will give him a lot of laughs if at the end of the day, this ends with regime change in Israel. I got to admit that I can't be any funnier than that if he pulls that off. So there's this guy, Mark Levin, who's a...
foaming at the mouth for war with Iran. And here's what he said. He said this. This is interesting because... Sometimes the military has to be used if it's used by a smart commander-in-chief, if it's used wisely, if it's used for a specific purpose, it gives us peace. So I want the so-called... I don't know what to call them.
to call them people running around warmonger the sloganeers there should be an education for you too there should be an education for you too america don't you feel relief of course you feel relief because this is these islamo nazis were building nuclear weapons to attack us too with intercontinental ballistic missiles guess what you can go to bed peacefully tonight no that's not going to happen that's the exact same that uh saddam hussein is trying to get weapons of mass destruction so he can attack us
Why in the F would a country like Iran or Iraq or any want to attack the biggest military in the world again? So that's Mark Levin. And he's he's telling you, you're supposed to feel, boy, didn't you rest easy? Didn't you sleep better last night because Trump started a war with Iran? No, no. In fact, I was worried about a retaliatory strike inside the United States like most people were.
Which wise leader is he talking about that used force? I can't remember us ever winning a war as long as I've been alive. Because we haven't. Well, you don't remember Grenada? It was fantastic. Aside from the triumph of Grenada. So here is Marjorie Taylor Greene.
She tweeted this out. She says, MAGA is not for foreign wars. We are not for regime change. We are for America first. The United States should not be involved in fighting nuclear armed Israel's war with Iran. And here, wow, she goes off. This is kind of good. I know. Don't watch his show. But no, you know, I didn't sleep better after neocons and warmongers talked this administration into entering a hot war that Israel started. After Netanyahu barely won a vote, Steve, barely won a vote by two votes.
in order to stay in power the day before Israel attacked and unprovoked attacked Iran. Now, I'm not making apologies for Iran. I have no...
So I didn't, by the way, that's a little news for me. I didn't know that they had some kind of a vote inside of Israel to see if Benjamin Netanyahu could remain in power. And he won by two votes. And then the next day he does the war with Iran. Did you know that, Kurt? I didn't know that. So if there's not World War III, it means they're, like I said at the outset, they're going to pin the whole thing on Bibi Netanyahu and act like Israel's not
Doesn't even, cause I already hear that. I already hear that from people. Like I hate him. My heart Zionists are saying that to me. Yeah. Okay. So here we go.
investment in the terrorist regime of Iran. But the reality is no American slept better after America bombed Iran because all of a sudden we now have threats on our homeland. We now have warnings from our State Department for Americans overseas. Qatar put out a warning to Americans to shelter in place. Americans in Israel are terrified for their lives as well as Israeli people are terrified for their lives because bombs have been falling in Israel. And Americans all over the world are...
seriously questioning, is this going to be World War III? So no, I didn't sleep better, regardless of Mark Levin's silly name calling. And I don't think any American is sleeping better after this, Steve.
What's going to happen? You're coming back. Everybody's coming back. They're going to be here tomorrow. You guys are going to get briefings. What's going to happen? Are people, are other voices going to get in to start advising the president, ma'am? Well, I want to, I'm going to add on one more thing, Steve, and I'm sure you've covered it on your show. Mark Levin was one of the biggest never Trumpers when president Trump was running for president. So it absolutely makes me sick. It makes me want to throw up in my mouth that he's one of the voices that is constantly texting and calling president Trump's phone and showing up at the white house and demanding for America to go to every single foreign war on behalf of Israel. You know, I'm really sick and disgusted at that. And
And it's people like him and Lindsey Graham and all these other people that never really supported Trump in the beginning. People like me, people, regular people like me donated to President Trump. We showed up at his rallies. We voted for him. We truly support him. I've supported him the entire time. Mark Levin was a never Trumper compared. President Trump claimed that he was the same as Code Pink. All of this horrible attacks on President Trump. And he only supports him now because he couldn't beat him because people like me supported President Trump and got him elected. And I spent.
Steve, I've spent five years. I've spent millions of dollars, millions of my own money traveling this entire country campaigning for President Trump, defending him when everyone abandoned him after January 6th. And I would say I represent MAGA far more than Mark Levin or any of these other neocon suck-ups ever will and ever do because MAGA is not for foreign wars. We are not for regime change, and we are for America first. That's not isolationism.
at all that's for fixing our 37 trillion dollar debt that's fighting for border security that's fighting for my kids steve my kids are 22 25 and 27 and i want them to have a future and i am sick and tired of people like this these you know they're gonna a lot of these people are gonna be dead in 10 to 15 years but my kids future matters to me and right now their generation can't buy a house they can't afford insurance they can't get good paying jobs they can't afford groceries they can't afford to buy a car they can't afford gas they don't know if they're ever going to be able to save money for their retirement because they're barely making it paycheck to paycheck
And I am so angry about this. So all of them have crossed my line. And you want to know what I have that Mark Levin doesn't have? I have a voting card, Steve. I have a voting card because I have a district that believes in the greatness of America, that believes in America first policies and desperately wants President Trump, his administration and the Republican controlled House
and Senate to enact and support this. And I tell you what, six months in, six months in, see, and here we are turning back on the campaign promises and we bombed Iran on behalf of Israel. Yes, it was on behalf of Israel. We're entering a nuclear war, World War III, because the entire world is going to erupt. And you want to know the people that are cheering it on right now? Their tune is going to drastically change the minute we start seeing flag-draped coffins on the nightly news, on Fox News that brainwashes all the baby boomers, and on CNN that brainwashes all the Democrat baby boomers. And that is exactly how this is going to go down.
So she's coming out hard, guns blazing against Trump for six months in, going back on his campaign promises, doing the exact opposite. And she's coming out guns blazing for Fox News.
Look at that. Marjorie Taylor Greene turns out to be the sage, the person with the actual courage. Isn't that something? Because you were told the exact opposite about her, weren't you? Yes. And I'm having a hard time hearing what she's saying because I am in love with that chair she's sitting in. Really? Yes. The whole time I'm like, I got to look for a chair like that.
I love that chair. I do too. Don't you not love that chair? Jimmy, I'm loving it. So here, she has a little bit more to say. So she goes, so I don't know if you, even though she's, what she's basically saying there when I'm talking to her,
What I hear is that she's more MAGA than Trump. She doesn't want to say it explicitly, but she just did kind of say it when she said six months in, we're already going back on our biggest campaign promises. So that's what, so she's, she's, she's going against Trump. She's going against Fox news. That's what we thought the squad was going to do in the democratic party. Yeah. Ryan Grim wrote a book. Yeah.
He puts it in his background when he does breaking points. He's adorable. Here you go. She has more to say. And, you know, the AI portion, I want to address that. See, that's a bunch of crap. They should have never put that poison pill in the house version. She's talking about the...
In the big, beautiful bill, she said there's a poison pill in there. It's the AI stuff saying that states can't pass any laws to regulate AI for 10 years. Why would you put that in that bill? That's what she's talking about right now.
Hang on, Kurt. What? Screwed. You're screwed now, even if they don't go to war. You're still screwed because of that poison pill in the bill. That's right. Yep. OK, here we go. One big, beautiful bill in the first place. I am a 100 percent no vote if it is still there because I get to vote again. I get to vote. And so there she is saying, telling Trump, I'm voting against your big, beautiful bill.
So she's calling him out over the Iran war. She's going to war on behest of Israel. She's calling him out over the poison pill inside the big, beautiful bill, saying she's not voting for Trump's big, beautiful bill. And she's calling out Fox News. This is good. This is good stuff.
And again, when it comes back to the House, I am not voting for a 10 year moratorium on state rights to make regulations and laws on AI. That is absurd. And then one big, beautiful bill is about taxes, energy and border security. And that's exactly what it should be. So shame on the people that put it out there. That should be separate legislation. And I'm not playing ball anymore. This weekend, I turned a corner. So she says shame on the people who put the big, beautiful bill out there. You know who did that? Donald Trump. So she's saying shame on Donald Trump.
to you. You're not supposed to be loyal to him. I think everyone's done enough being loyal to him. That is such a good point.
that Donald Trump is supposed to be loyal to you. Morons. You're not supposed to be loyal to Donald Trump. He's supposed to be loyal to you. Don't even ask me if I'm loyal to Trump. I never was loyal to Trump. I thought that asshole was going to do what I wanted. Thank God I didn't vote. I said if Trump does even any of the things, I'll know voting counts. Well, now we know it doesn't count.
I think she has a little bit more. I'm not playing ball anymore. I'm going to vote exactly for what I campaigned on, exactly for what I promised my district, and I will use my voting card to make that happen. MTG, what's your social media? People will go. Okay. So she's going to vote against Donald Trump. And here, I'll just read. She had a tweet that kind of said the same thing, but here it's worth reading. She said, I spent millions of my own money and traveled the entire country campaigning for President Trump and his MAGA agenda and his promises.
And Trump's MAGA agenda included these key promises. No foreign wars, no regime change and world peace. And this is what the people voted for. Only six months in and we're back to foreign wars, regime change and World War Three. It feels like a complete bait and switch to to please the neocons, warmongers, military, industrial complex contracts and neocon TV personalities that MAGA hates and who were never Trumpers.
After the bombs were dropped, we were told complete success and Iran's nuclear capabilities were totally wiped out. Then it quickly turned to Iran's nuclear facilities, partially damaged. And now it's we don't know where their enriched uranium is. Wow. I think it doesn't matter if they have nukes. Good thing that was never an issue. It does. Let me be very clear. My children are 22, 25 and 27, and she looks fantastic.
for having this. She sure does. I will literally fight anyone for their future and their future. That means Trump. That's what I, that's how I, how you spell Trump.
And their future and their entire generation's future must be free of America. Last foreign wars that provoke terrorist attacks on our homeland, military drafts and nuclear war. I am fighting for them to have a future where they can afford to buy a home, afford insurance, invest for retirement, enjoy life.
retain their God-given freedoms, afford to raise a family under their Christian faith, not be in debt, safety and security, and not have our own taxpayer-funded government destroy it all. Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers...
Contrary to brainwashed Democrat boomers think and protest about, Trump is not a king, MAGA is not a cult, and I can and do have my own opinion. So that's the perfect example of that she's not in a cult. So that's what I've been telling people, that the real cult that I experienced when I went to the Democratic National Convention last summer, that's a cult. No criticisms allowed.
Um, and here it, and, and the, the, the MAGA people who come to my shows, uh, they're not on, they're not in the cult either. They're all openly criticizing Israel, Trump's subservience to Israel and all this stuff.
Yeah. You know, when you leave a cult, by the way, I tell you this from experience, because you couldn't have talked me out of leaving the thing I was in when I was a kid. The way you leave it is when it doesn't do the thing it said it was going to do for you. That's when you leave. And guess what? Whoever I call them, co-boomers, not boomers, the co-boomers in charge.
you're not delivering enough to trick people anymore. So you can get bots and you can put the CIA on social media and put them in charge of all this stuff, but people know if stuff's not working out. We've already seen this in the Soviet Union, remember? Remember how the central power collapsed because they didn't deliver at the end of the day? So what do you think's going to happen? Not the same thing? The Soviets didn't even have the spying apparatus we have, by the way. Correct.
