Hey, we're doing stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, Dallas, Texas, Austin, Texas, Baltimore, Hartford, Connecticut, Syracuse, Atlantic City, Levittown, Cohoes, New York, and Providence, Rhode Island. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Jimmy, this is Senator Chuck Schumer. Ah, hi, Senator. Hate your guts. How's it going?

It's, well, there's a lot happening right now. Things are interesting, that's for sure. Very interesting. Honestly, I'm not sure how long I can chat on the phone. Why, Senator? What's happening?

I'll tell you what's happening, Buster Brown. The wheels are coming off the goddamn bus. That's what's happening. Yeah. This Donald Trump, this Shonda of a president, is basically dismantling the federal government via executive order, and Congress is struggling to keep up. Oh, no.

Oh, no, it's right. I mean, I don't even know where to start with this madness. And there is a distinct element of psychological warfare coming from the White House. It's sickening. Psychological warfare?

Oh, you heard me. Just the other day, his new press secretary, what's her name? Blondie with the cross. She goes up there and just announces the drones were ours. Remember the drones in New Jersey? Yeah. The New Jersey drone. Yeah. Apparently they were approved by the FAA. Yes. How come I didn't know about this? Yeah. Well, why didn't you know about this?

I don't know why I didn't know. Yeah. I would like to know exactly why I didn't know. Because as you know, these flying mysteries are sort of my thing. Yeah. I'm one of these guys who wants to get to the bottom of all this UFO business that you hear about. And I'm taking this personally. Well, wouldn't that be the fault of the Biden administration who was in office then?

Jimmy, we are looking forward, not backwards. The time for blaming Democrats is over. Yeah. We are out of power now and therefore not at fault for anything, which is how we like it. Yes, of course.

So Donald Trump is in power and everything is his fault now, even stuff that happened months ago. Retroactive fault. That's how much of a stinker he is. And now he just stops all the spending just like that. Well, what are the Democrats doing about it?

Well, what can we do? We're not in power. We can only voice our protests vehemently, and I mean vehemently, condemning the strongest words imaginable, the actions of this president, and express these misgivings on Twitter, and increasingly blue-sky social, a.k.a. the good place. That's it?

That's it. That's the only thing we can do. We don't have the White House. We don't have the House or the Senate. We're powerless. And I love it. I'm like a pig in shit over here. Yeah, I bet. I bet you are. Jimmy, people constantly expecting you to do things that improve the quality of their lives is exhausting. Yep. It's for the birds. We much prefer pointing at things and saying that's bad. Yep.

That's really more our lane. Yeah, I know. Jimmy, we are getting the resistance back together, and it feels so good. Yeah, yeah. Uh-huh. Glad to hear it.

And we're good at resisting, if I may say so myself. Check out this motherfucking tweet I dropped. I says, in reference to freezing federal funds, Donald Trump is literally defunding the police.

How about them apples? I took their own rhetoric and turned it around on them, vaguely perhaps with the intent of changing Republican minds, but with enough plausible deniability that I could just claim it was only supposed to be a zinger and nothing else. And how'd it go over?

I don't know. I didn't look or pay attention. Well, I'll tell you how it went over. The left's reaction was that you were pandering to the right, trying to win them over with their own talking points. And the GOP pointed out that what you said wasn't even accurate. So actually, I'd say the message wasn't very effective at all, Senator. Okay, why are you being a giant asshole right now? Uh-huh.

I just told you that action isn't really our thing. We specialize in calling out our political enemies. And then you say we're not even good at that? That's right. There's a cruelty in that, Jimmy. I hope you realize. Yeah, I'm not sorry.

Wow. Oh, sheesh. Anyway, like I said in a press conference today, people are aroused. I haven't seen people that's aroused in a very long time. They expect action and resistance from the Democrats. And it's our job to provide the illusion that that's actually happening. Yeah, I see.

For example, today we have this Robert F. Kennedy man trying to become a department head. I thought we were finished with these people, these Kennedys. Well, we are not letting him off easy before he is most certainly confirmed. That much I can tell you. I'm happy to say we have Senator Elizabeth Warren on deck to give him the business. Let's see how long he can keep his Mr. Man act going when confronted with a proud woman of color. Ha ha ha ha ha!

Ah! Ah! Yes, we shall see. Or did we see already? Well, don't tell me about it, because I'm several hours in the past. Yes. Well, I wrote this one in the morning. Well, I have a lot of work to do, as I'm sure you do. We need to continue communicating to the people. That is our job. To

to tell them that the roots of democracy are deep. If you are in trouble or being denied aid, please contact your local elected officials, state level, and tell them what you need. Don't contact us congressmen directly because we have a lot of work to do. Stay strong. Never give up hope. And if you don't like the chipped beef, send it back. Why eat it? Pfft.

God, you people are such fucking wastes of space. You're so useless. You're the epitome of the example of what's wrong with human beings. I hope bad things happen to you. I appreciate that very much. All right, let's move on, you piece of shit.

So guess what? Trump is shutting down funding for USAID.

Now, USAID is a front organization for the CIA, and they do it by—I'm going to show you how they do it in a second. Now do National Endowment for Democracy. Musk says we're—yeah, it's the same thing. The NED, National Endowment for Democracy, USAID. It's just how the billionaires through the deep state control the world. It's how we do imperialism and hegemony.

And make viruses in Wuhan. That's how we overthrow, you know, we've overthrown 100 governments, most of them democracies, since World War II. That's how we do it. That's why the president doesn't have the highest security clearance, which would bother the hell out of you. So look at that. So they're going to arrest control of USAID as Musk says we're shutting it down. Look at it. Why did they make the U.S. blue and the AID red?

Oh, I see. So they could trick idiots. Yeah, I fell for it. I'm a big dummy. I was like, oh, USAID. I didn't know it was USA. So did you know that USAID doesn't even stand for aid? It stands for United States Agency for International Development.

And their budget is bigger than the State Department and the CIA combined, USAID. So that's their... It's really... It should be called USCIAID because that's all it is. Oh, Max Blumenthal and Aramonte were 100% right when three years ago I first heard there was a CIA cutout. But now I think the CIA is the cutout of USAID. That's right. So watch this. So this is...

This is Mike Benz. He's going to explain to you exactly what USAID is. Here it is. So what is USAID? When people hear the name USAID, they focus on aid. They focus on thinking like it's humanitarian work. But aid is not actually in the name of USAID. USAID stands for the United States Agency for International Development. Not aid. It's not a charity. And international development is simply capacity building.

So USAID is a black ops bank account. That's what it is. It's not it's not America helping other people any more than Gatorade is a charity for alligators. And what is black ops? Despicable crime your country does. And that's why they call it black ops, because it's illegal and evil. That's right. So here he's going to explain the risks.

he calls it capacity building what what does that mean it is local and regional capacity building done across the whole world i.e internationally the primal id in usaid international development is about capacity building of assets that can be used by either the pentagon the state department or the cia for their own activities so if you're the secretary of state and you were asked by the national security council or the president to do something in

in a different country, overthrow their government, stop the passage of a bill in a foreign country's legislature. How would you do that? And the first thing that I said is you would look at the assets that already exist in the country. Do we need new assets in addition to the ones that we currently have or are the existing assets, can they achieve this simply by giving them enough money, giving them enough resources, giving them enough training? - So like what they'll do is they'll, they wanna,

unrest in a country, they'll go and give billions of dollars to maybe some unions or they'll give billions of dollars to whatever, some groups. They'll invent the groups and then they'll create... Well, kind of what they did here. Yeah. With BLM. Kind of the same thing that they do to the other countries. Yeah. That's what they did to you.

That's right. And they're going to keep doing it. That's right. Okay. One of the main ways that that capacity building would be financed would be through USAID. USAID would say that it's doing something, funding a hospital system, funding universities, funding civil society organizations, funding media institutions, funding independent media in the region. Sorry, there's something in my eye. Independent media in the region on USAID payroll. And USAID

those institutions, those assets would then be bigger and more powerful and more capable capacity, more capable of serving the State Department's goal, a.k.a. advancing U.S. national interests. USAID has a bigger budget. And by U.S. national interests...

What he means there is Western economic hitmen's interests, meaning Wall Street's interests, the military industrial complex interests, big pharma's interests, which is why the CIA covered up the COVID thing.

And where it came from. So the deep state, the blob, is there to serve corporate power and billionaire power. It's not there to serve U.S. So when he says U.S. national interest, he doesn't mean the people's interest. He means the people who run the government's interest. The billionaire class, the donor class, Wall Street, the military industrial complex. Their interests. That's what USAID is there to do.

Okay. The State Department. Over $50 billion. It is a bigger budget than the CIA. The entire intelligence community only has about $72 billion. So that's the CIA plus the 16 others. And USAID has a bigger budget than the CIA and is almost the size of the entire intelligence community combined. That is how important USAID is to American statecraft. It is... And Trump just shut it down. So all the... What's a better term? All the fuckery...

That the evil criminals who work in our CIA and NSA, all those people in USAID doing fuckery around the world, overthrowing governments, sowing color revolutions, all that stuff, overthrowing democratically elected governments on the regular.

And installing right-wing governments that are loyal to the corporations, to the U.S. economic hitmen. That's what they're doing. Okay.

An intelligence community, a state department, and a Pentagon assistance organization rolled into one. I just copied this from the USAID website. USAID carries out U.S. foreign policy, advances U.S. national interests by promoting broad-scale human progress. At the same time, it expands stable, free societies, creates markets, and trade partners for the United States, and fosters goodwill abroad. The operative phrases here are carries out,

US foreign policy. This is not charity work. This is not aid. This is cynical, self-serving purposes. And what is it seeking to do? Free societies, open societies. Why does USAID want other countries to be open societies? Because that's how you get the influence in. If a country is a closed society, they're closed off from USAID influence. We cannot capacity build our assets there.

closed societies box usaid out china is a closed society that is why we have not been able to topple the government of china despite having tried for 100 years now almost we have not been able to topple putin from russia why because russia is a closed society like china they kicked usaid out it is not an open society and so the usa can't just take over their entire media ecosystem by funding a hundred

100 different media. So that's what we did in Ukraine. The United States funded all their media outlets. These right-wing media outlets that were in bed with the Nazis that propagandized their people. So that's just kind of like what they do here in the United States. But they don't...

So I love telling this to conservatives, okay, because they all, you know, the CCP, bloppity-blop, Tiananmen Square, which we know from WikiLeaks was not China being violent. That was George Soros who fomented that and was not welcomed back after.

Did Billy Joel sing about that in his We Didn't Start the Fire song? No. I didn't know until Jackson the Hare Hinkle showed it to me. And I remember shouting like, what? Because that Tiananmen Square bullshit that right wingers still believe in their heart and don't want to let go of. That was George Soros. I can't say it to Republicans enough. George Soros was behind that.

propaganda outlets in the region to sway hearts and minds. And remember, that's what this is. It's hearts and minds and cash. That's what soft power is. They call it hearts and minds work, but it's cash that does the moving of those parts of minds, especially of the leaders of the movements.

So that's what USAID is. So Amy Klobuchar, again, she's in bed with the blob, the deep state, because there they do the bidding of the corporations that own her. Right. So the Democratic Party, like the Republican Party, is beholden to the corporations.

You don't live in a democracy. You live in an oligarchy. So they're all these are the puppets of the oligarchy. Right. And Trump came in and he was a bull in a china shop. And that's why the Republican establishment is against Trump, just like the Democratic establishment is against Trump. This is why.

Because he had the four years off, he figured out, or the people around him figured out, you've got to get rid of USAID. That's where all the power is. You've got to get rid of it. He did his first, what is this, first, second week in office? He did it.

Where was this for years? Amy Klobuchar says shutting down USAID is not about efficiency. It's about undermining America's global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

It counters extremism? Did you say that? Then why are you Democrats always whining about extremism if it's so good? So I think at this point we can honestly say that AIDS has done less damage than USAID. I like AIDS better than Bono from U2, if I'm being honest.

And so she and she, by the way, Amy Klobuchar is is not intelligent or sane enough to go whoops after saying this part out loud. Yeah. Go eat a salad with a comb, you pig. So, uh.

Here, James Lee is going to let us know what's the truth about USAID. Watch this. We have some news right now. The Trump administration has completely shut down the USAID website, which is the agency responsible for humanitarian assistance around the world. So that's what they're saying. So that's what all the asswipes on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram are going to say. All the asswipes on CNN and MSNBC, and I bet even Fox might say it.

That, oh, he's doing, oh my God, he's taking away aid to people and medicine and humanitarian aid. Well, James Lee is here to disavow you, disabuse you of that stupid propaganda idea here. His face was perfect. He could have just left it at that and you would get it.

No, no, no. USAID is not just a humanitarian aid organization. It is a front in order to run covert intelligence ops around the world to do coups and regime change operations and all kinds of other criminal activities. In the mid-2000s, USAID was exposed for building a, quote, fake Cuban Twitter designed to lure in young users and slowly feed them anti-government content to spark protests. USAID was also involved in the 2014 coup in Ukraine.

Ukraine, which some argue has led to the war in Russia now. And this stuff goes back decades and decades and decades. In 1973, USAID helped pump in millions of dollars to overthrow a democratically elected leader, Salvador Allende, to install a dictatorship that would be more friendly to U.S. interests. The organization is also involved in other sketchy activities like this. Pause to read.

And also this very interesting rabbit hole if you want to go down it. All the while USAID was actively pressuring media organizations around the world to censor certain narratives. My point is, I'm sure there are some people on the ground doing good work at USAID. I'm sure there's good people doing good work. But at its core, it is a criminal organization. I just thought people would benefit from knowing this context.

Yeah. So they're like, so USAID is a front group for the CIA, a front group, kind of like Jimi Hendrix opening up for the monkeys. The CIA is cool. And if you doubt it, just watch Amazon Prime.

All the cartels. And we talk about going after the cartels. And I was like, hey, Trump, are you going to go after the CIA cartel? Yeah, this is it. This is a drug and human trafficking. Who do you think was doing that? That's right. These dumb bags, they ought to be hung. So here, Nayib Bukhali says most governments don't want USAID funds flowing into their countries because they understand where much of that money actually ends up.

♪♪

At best, maybe 10% of USAID money reaches real projects that actually help people in need. There are such cases, but the rest is used to fuel dissent, finance protests, and undermine administrations that refuse to align with the globalist agenda. Cutting this so-called aid isn't just beneficial for the United States, it's also a big win for the rest of the world. That's why the tariffs worked.

Because why would they go along with the tariffs? Oh, Trump's actually in charge. And the weird blob of deep state is not going to screw with me. So they're going to go along and let Trump look like he got to win because it's better for everyone that these scumbags are done. The Trump administration and its allies moved to tie. I can't. So again, there's, I'm sure there's more that meets the eye to Trump's assassination attempts, but there is, uh,

This would explain why somebody in the deep state wanted him dead. Oh, wait till the JFK stuff comes out. I can't wait. Wait till the JFK stuff comes out. The Trump administration and its allies moved to tighten control of the U.S. Agency for International Signaling an intent to act forcefully to bring the U.S. foreign policy apparatus into

in line with the president's so this is the whole thing so even what is president doesn't matter who's president because there was the deep state the usaid the the the cia the they're all they're there for the they're they're the department of defense they're there permanently they're called the permanent state you've heard that also known as the deep state the blob

It doesn't matter who's president. They're going to keep doing the shit that they always do at the behest of the Western economic hitmen. That's what this is. OK, current and former officials said this is by by the Washington Post, by the way, which is a CIA operation to Jeff Bezos. Always has been. Always has been. Jeff Bezos is in bed with the CIA to the tunes of tens of millions of dollars, if not more.

Current and former officials said the administration removed two top security officials at USAID on Saturday after they refused to allow representatives of the office led by Elon Musk access to the restricted spaces at the. So Trump appoints Elon Musk. Go look into this shenanigans they're doing at you. And they said no. So Trump fired them. So Trump fired them.

So I guess, yeah, the next thing, because they're just the above ground version continuity of government, COG. That's what they're the extension of. So when remember we had Scott Ritter on and he said, all these people think they're going to go in underground bunkers, but those bunkers aren't operation. And I asked him about it. He got cagey. I bet Scott knows something. I'll bet all these assholes from COG are squaking in their boots right now. So so they wouldn't let Elon Musk's people have access. Why wouldn't they let him in?

Were those officials stuck in a trafficking jam, if you know what I'm talking about? Because that's where they do the human trafficking, the drug trafficking, the poppy in Afghanistan. All that stuff came from USAID.

Yeah. The mean Arkansas drug cartel, Kathy O'Brien talked about that Bill Clinton ran with Hillary in Arkansas. That's all part of the same thing. They don't do anything to anyone. That's right. And you see how the Washington Post is reporting this as if it's something bad that Trump and Elon Musk are doing. Yeah. The placement of the security officials, some guy named John Voorhees and his deputy on administrative leave is alarming. Yeah.

It's alarming several lawmakers who are also on the take to the same people who run, who who control the deep state. That's they don't. This again, this is all propaganda from The Washington Post. It's alarming. Several lawmakers concerned about security protocol. Oh, that's what you're concerned about. Really? You're not protected no more. So that's why they're going to knuckle under. That's right. I always said he has somebody's blackmail.

And so that's why the Democrats have no message, because they're waiting for the leader to give them the message. It's not coming. And so it's obvious. And here and here's how the Washington Post says it. They're they're they're worried about Musk wrestling control of the world's largest provider of food assistance. Oh, that's what this is about. I was helping people with you won't provide food assistance for your own people.

By the way, our food is poison. They'll confiscate it. Our food is poison, by the way. They destroy it like it's Sentinel when they find it. As long as, hey, as long as we don't hear the name Bill Gates in that equation, I will just stand by and see what happens next. Yeah. Since President Donald Trump took office two weeks ago, the agency has been under siege.

And whipsawed by aid freezes. Personal. Do you see how they describe this? Isn't this amazing? Do you see how the Washington Post is doing pure propaganda? I don't want to praise Trump, but then I read this. I know. Musk heading a government efficiency effort under Trump said on Twitter earlier Monday that he is in the process of closing the agency with Trump's blessing. And I say good. Good.

Hey, don't worry. Maybe I heard they're doing hiring over at the FBI now. He's not even elected, Musk. How does that feel, Deep State, to get deep stated out of the Deep State? Isn't this something? No, it's a lot of fun. I went over it with him in detail and agreed that we should shut it down, Musk said. And I actually checked with him a few times and said, are you sure? The answer was yes.

And so we're shutting it down, Musk said. Oh, it's great. Well, when it's really more, it's really more Trump than Elon Musk shutting it down. Either way, great job. Yeah. If Elon Musk said he convinced Trump, I would also praise him for doing that. Yeah.

The episode over the weekend had added to the speculation that Trump would attempt to abolish the agency or merge it into the State Department. It underscores the role of unelected figures led by guess who else is unelected? All the people running USAID. They're also unelected.

All the scum from the WEF, all those scumbags. Guess who else is unelected? Everybody in the CIA. Guess who else is unelected? Everybody in the Department of Defense. They're all unelected. They led by Musk, the richest man in the world, in an administration's push to remake the federal government. People voted for him to remake the federal government.

So you're undermining democracy by printing an article like this because democracy has spoken and democracy said, Trump, please do this. And now he's doing it.

Yeah. Wait till they find out Pizzagate's real, how upset they're going to be. It also highlights the new administration's more transactional view of global engagement and its determination to refocus public spending on activities that yield tangible impacts for U.S. citizens. I can't really understand what point they're trying to make there.

You actually have to achieve something that you said you're going to do. That's what transactional means. Yes. Not just be an academic jerk off in the Cecil Rhodes roundtable system. Glenn Greenwald. So look at this article. It says Cuban Twitter and other times the USAID pretended to be an intelligence agency. Wait, I thought it pretends not to be.

Foreign governments have long accused the U.S. Agency for International Development of being a front for the CIA or other groups dedicated to their collapse. In the case of Cuba, they appear to have been right. In an eye-opening display of incompetence, the United States covertly launched a social media platform in Cuba in 2010.

So here's Glenn Greenwald saying the least surprising thing ever is watching Democrats like Amy Globuchar defend the CIA front known as USAID, deceitfully depicting it as just some nice organization that wants to help people. Yeah. Well, they're not going to do their own research. The people that like her. Right. So it's a safe bet to lie to them because they're morons who don't do their own research. And not only that, that's one thing to not be a reader.

But then to think people that are readers are dumber than you, that's a special level of moron. Yep. So here, Canoga the Great, just to give you one last explanation of what USAID is.

It funneled $53 million to Echo Health Alliance, which then used U.S. taxpayer funds to support gain-of-function research on coronaviruses at the Wuhan lab, research that likely led to the creation of COVID-19. It's coming out. The bioweapon info is coming out. Wah, wah. The CIA's deception regarding COVID-19, the CIA's deception...

What? They deceived us about COVID-19 origins? Becomes much clearer when considering USAID's long history of serving as a CIA front organization. Hey, I said they leaked it on purpose on Rogan's show, and I know Trump's kid watches it, so I hope that got up to Trump if he didn't already know, but I bet he did already know. This can't be the reason why they didn't want Musk and Trump going through their files and

because we would find out they were funding bio weapons and gain of function research could it be I think the great Larry Ellison who once said if you didn't do nothing wrong you don't gotta worry when we look through all your stuff right remember that

So with an annual budget exceeding $50 billion and activities in over 100 countries, USAID has repeatedly been linked to intelligence activities. Former USAID director John Gilligan

not the guy from Gilligan's Island, once admitted the agency was infiltrated from top to bottom with CIA people. So the director of USAID said it was top to bottom. It's a CIA operation. Gilligan! I feel like the skipper. Gilligan! Gilligan! The idea was to plant operatives in every kind of activity we had overseas. Government, volunteer, religious, every kind of operation. Oh, and at home. And at home. And at home.

In 2013, a U.S. cable published by WikiLeaks outlined the United States strategy to undermine Venezuela's government through USAID, penetrating Hugo Chavez's political base, dividing Chavismo, and isolating Chavez internationally. I mean, if you can't trust a recently installed religious figure, I don't know who you can trust.

In 2014, the Associated Press revealed that USAID funded the creation of a Twitter-like platform intended to incite a rebellion in Cuba. USAID funding has been linked to coups in Haiti, Ukraine, Egypt, and other nations. From 2009 to 2019, USAID partnered with Echo Health Alliance to pre-

on the PREDICTS program, which identified 1,200 new viruses, trained 5,000 people globally in disease detection, and enhanced 60 research labs. With leaks? Whenever the organization is called something like Echo Health,

It's not there to help your health. It's there to destroy the world and stomp out your immune system, just so you know. It's there to kill you to help the echo. It's kind of like calling Philadelphia the city of brotherly love. Oh, wait.

The partnership provided the CIA with a direct channel for embedding human assets within biological research facilities worldwide in exchange for funding and technology transfers. In 2022, Dr. Andrew Huff, a former vice president at Echo Health Alliance, publicly revealed Dr. Peter Daszak's alleged ties to the CIA. Alleged ties?

The core issue, the CIA lied to the American public about COVID-19's origins because acknowledging the truth would expose its likely role in funneling taxpayer money through USAID to finance gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab. And you remember that video I showed you the other day when morons at the Young Turks like Anna Kasparian said, oh, that's a conspiracy.

theory that the virus came from a lab. The intelligence community has debunked that. That's how dumb they are at the Young Turks. They don't know that what the CIA says is a lie and propaganda. And their job in the news media is to find out where they're lying and always be skeptical instead of breathlessly repeating propaganda. That's what the Young Turks specializes in. They've been repeating scandals.

CIA and FBI propaganda since Trump was elected in 2016, which is why I had to leave that place. It was nothing but a propaganda. It was no different between them and MSNBC. And there still isn't. Cenk knows, Anna, just that statement, that's how you know she's dumb. Where she goes, the intelligence community debunked it.

Don't never change, Anna, you sweet angel. You don't. I mean, what a moron. You vindictive, lying moron. CIA tried to pay off analysts to bury findings that COVID lab leak was likely. Who says that a whistleblower? That was back in 2023.

Oh yeah, I saw it on Young Turks. Just kidding. And now you can count the number of my shit-lib friends who will hear this news and still come up with an excuse to support USAID. But Jimmy, everyone else is dishonest and evil. We have to keep it up. It's complicated. It's complicated. And here's the funding. Federal funding of Echo Health Alliance. Health and Human Services. The Department of Defense.

Department of Homeland Security, USDA, USAID. Wow. See, now it makes sense. That's what all this China stuff is because clearly we're making viruses in Wuhan again. So clearly there's some kind of beyond national borders alliance going on. And I got told by somebody with a national press, I won't say the guy's name, but he was explaining to me that you always hear when they say China's got a population bomb coming because they don't have enough kids. Yeah.

They want to clear out some of the old brush as well. So you see why you'd work together to make a bioweapon to clear out the old? So the CIA tried to pay off analysts to bury findings that the COVID lab leak was where the COVID-19 virus came from. So just so you know, the only thing cheaper to buy than a scientist is a scratcher at 7-Eleven. Yeah, I think scientists are cheaper because just think of the enormity of that.

Jon Stewart's the only guy who had one nut to say that on TV. Only guy. And was shut down. But his very obvious joke that everyone should have been saying, the Wuhan virus lab, do you think that might be where the virus came from? And they managed to make a bunch of people go, that's ridiculous. A man ate bat wings. That's what happened. It's like standing outside of a Burger King wondering where the burger came from. It's on the building. Yeah.

It's on the building. It says Wuhan Viral Research Institute. Did you have sex with a pangolin? Is that how you got a burger? Where'd you get that burger from? Did they make it in a lab in a basement somewhere? Did that burger come from a Chinese wet market or from the Burger King that you're standing in front of? The name's on the building!

Do you understand how mind control works? Like, yeah, that is something so obvious that you shouldn't even have friends that don't know this. Can you believe that during covid, Kurt, all the people who claim to be anti establishment and smarty pants people and skeptics and anti establishment, they all repeated the complete 100 percent propaganda from evil people like CIA.

They all did it. And they shamed you. And they shamed you for questioning it. Don't do your own research. Just look. Just all I do is I look. I check in with the TV once a week and I see what the man on the TV was told to say by the CIA. And that's what I do. I've heard people say that. Yeah. Listen to the man on the TV. Listen to the man on the TV.

Oh, my God. Jimmy, why don't you bring on some more mainstream doctors? I had people tell me that. Jimmy, why don't you bring on more mainstream doctors to talk about COVID? I had people tell me that. He just got appointed to the thing. Didn't he just get appointed and he's mainstream?

Who's that? Jay Bhattacharya. Jay Bhattacharya. Yeah, I did bring him on. That is the mainstream now, cows. He was from Stanford, and now he's the head of the NIH. Is that not mainstream enough for you? Oh, man.

See the proof at jameshardy.com. Here's a headline from the Independent Sentinel. L.A. Mayor Bass plans an equitable, sustainable, rebuilt Palisades. Does sustainable mean that it's harder to burn down? I hope that's what it means. How dare she get involved in that?

Wow, it's equitable and sustainable. Don't spoil us. I feel like we should emancipate ourselves from them. So here, according to this article, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass plans to hire an outside consultant. We already covered that.

to rebuild the Palisades in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way. So what does that mean to you, Elaine? - I think they need to fix our water problem. They need to stick to the basics. They're just so scatterbrained, a whole bunch of them. First of all, they've taken all the money. We don't have any money, so it doesn't matter what she does. She has no money. She's that Los Angeles city mayor. She is not the governor, A, and she is also not federally funded. The state is federally funded.

And Trump already said, no money for you guys unless you do two things, turn the water back on and have voter ID. And voter ID, she would not be the mayor. If we have voter ID, she would not be the mayor. Of course.

So he would have got recalled if he had. And he would have got recalled. Thank you very much. And he would have got and Gavin Newsom would have got where there's two million signatures. So you know what that is? That's the that's the mafia will be undone because the four families, D'Alessandro, that's Pelosi's maiden name, the Jerry Brown family, the Gettys and the Newsoms. Those are the four families that are ruled for 80 years. And so.

It's just like old timey Tammany Hall kind of crap. And so that's what that Trump's trying to crack their mafia. I encourage everyone to sign up. I encourage everyone to sign up on the opt in for FEMA for the cleanup. I think everybody should do it because it's going to put an intense amount of pressure on the federal money because they're going to see how many people need help.

People are afraid. You know, they don't want to get screwed over by the government. But you can opt out by the 1st of March. If everyone opts in in the next 30 days, there'll be so many people opting in that the government that's federal that has to provide this money will realize, oh my gosh, $1.2 billion isn't even going to come close.

We got to opt in. Opt in. It's just like all it is is waving a white flag saying we need help. We're not going to get it from our state. Federally, we need it. You need to opt in. You can go on the site and ask for federal help. It's the FEMA cleanup and just opt in. You can always get out from underneath it.

But at least it sends that flag and it says we really need help. So when you opt in, are you giving up some kind of rights or something? What does that mean? Not at all. No, it feels a little. Look, for anybody who's been, you know, living in Los Angeles and not been happy with our management, every single thing they ask you to do is scary because you don't trust anyone. Right.

But the reality is money is going to be only allocated federally based on how many people need it. So if you don't ask for it, they're not going to allocate it. So you have to opt in. You're jumping the Rubicon when you're getting away from the state when you opt in. Okay. Okay? You can get out. You can just say, I changed my mind. It's taking too long. I don't like it. And you can opt out. But it lets the government federally understand how much funds they need to put aside because there's not enough.

We need $5 billion for cleanup. There's too much. Gavin will tell them? Yeah. What's that? Gavin will pass the informational? I don't know if Gavin can count either. I mean, just do the structure count. Well, we're going to have a smart city. You're going to have a smart city. Because that was the purpose of the LA Smart Fire. How about a whiteboard and a little pointer? And we can explain how much it's going to cost to clean it up.

Well, I mean, how much they spend cleaning up homelessness and then the money's gone and the homelessness is worse than ever. How about what is that? 30 some thousand fires were started by homeless people in 23 and 24.

We need jobs. 30,000 fires were started by homeless people like between 23 and 24 or something. It's an insane amount. Well, you know, Gavin Newsom has been saying since he got into politics in 2008 that he's going to fix homelessness. He's been saying that now for close to 20 years. It works. It's bigger than ever now. Homelessness is breaking down, but now he's fixed it to where it's sustainably homeless. Well, he spent $28 billion getting more homeless people. Yeah. We have a lot now. Sustainable?

Long-term homelessness is the dream is here. And now we don't have a lot of houses because the homeless people got rid of all the houses. So now you are from the Palisades. You blame Karen Bass and Newsom. Do you? I definitely blame Newsom. I blame what I...

What I can tell you and living in California for almost 30 years is that the environmentalist idea wasn't a bad idea when it started. I'm a Democrat just like you are, Jimmy. I've been a Democrat most of my life. But, you know, at the end of the day, some things do run off the track. And if you don't trim your forests and you're not a good steward to your forests, eventually you're going to have forest fires.

We haven't done that in years and there's been they've blocked every reasonable way for urban forestry and other forestry management companies to be able to clear brush. That's an environmental thing that's been. Yeah, they were trying to protect an endangered brush. And then guess what happens when there's a fire? It all goes away anyway. It all gets burned.

- Sounds like it was fake. It was a fake thing to make sure there'd be a lot of brush is what it sounds like to me. - Well, it's protecting environmentalists and their ideas and then all of those people are the people that vote for guys like Gavin Newsom. So Gavin Newsom doesn't want to go back and say, "Hey, I know I said this, but it was a really bad idea because we're gonna have these huge forest fires. We need to cut tree lines. We need to clean the forest." Then all the environmentalists get all crazy and you get all these lobbies and I feel like

If you don't common sense manage and take care of the basics, I mean, what's property tax for, right? The tranches are schools, fire and police, and road management. That's what property tax is for. If you drive up to a home that there's no road or your schools are burned down or you don't have any police defunding the police, you go and you raise property taxes and you create a mansion tax, you're not providing the basic services for the fees that you're collecting is my point.

I mean, they should get rid of that mansion tax right now. That's Los Angeles City. You know what that would do? That would encourage people to move real estate to sell, which would make homes open for people who don't have homes. It would put an influx of money into Los Angeles. I mean, if Gavin Newsom wants to be helpful, he should stand at a podium and say, we are going to put a freeze on

on this mansion tax so that we can create a trillion dollars worth of revenue in the next year that we can spin back into rebuilding. Do something productive. Stop charging everybody. People don't want to move or sell their real estate. They completely torpedoed the real estate market in California. They ruined it. And on top of it, it's our Wall Street. California's real estate is our Wall Street. If you bring that to its heels, which they did, we have no money. They

They raised no money for homeless people because all the people that were above 5 million and above 10 million, guess what? They spoke up. They said, you know what? Pound sand, we're not selling. So the whole market froze. Escrow companies out of business, title companies out of business, all the real estate, nobody can move anywhere anytime. And interest rates are high. If you have a low interest rate, you just don't, you don't do anything.

If they got rid of that, the whole market would start up again and it would move and it would move at a rapid pace and it would create momentum.

It would move things and issue all the permits that are 10 years old tomorrow morning. If there's a permit that's been issued and it's past the baseline hillside ordinance, just hand them out. And then all the people in the last 10 years that bought or spent money, those people will start up the rebuild because they know how much it costs. They're ready. They have money. And once you start it and you get momentum, momentum is hard to beat.

The decision making process at the gubernatorial level, is that the right word? Did I say it right? At that level is completely stifled by the lobbyists that put them into office. They are stuck. They are corroded. They're completely corroded. They're like every time you touch something on them, it just falls off like a rotten bolt. They can't.

Okay, I'm sorry. I'm just going on. He's not in charge. He's a puppet like all these young, hot leaders. He's just the face and the hair, not the brains of it, that's for sure. So now there's this petition. Well, she's done a poll. They did a poll, and people blame Karen Bass for the wildfire failures, and voters want new leadership. So...

I'll read you what it says. It says,

In a simulated general election in 2026 ballot of likely L.A. City voters, Rick Caruso versus Karen Bass for mayor. Caruso is now beating Bass by seven points. And so here's I'll give you a bigger look at it. Do you approve or disapprove of how Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is handling the wildfires in Los Angeles? Fifty four disapprove. Thirty seven approve. I'm going to guess those are the people whose houses did not burn down.

And then almost 10% don't know. So 64% disapprove or aren't sure of Karen Bass. Now, would you support her being recalled? - 1,000%, but what people don't understand of the recall, nevermind they cost a million dollars to do it, you gotta pay for the signatures, 350,000 signatures, six bucks a signature, blah, blah, blah, you can do the math.

What's really critical, which people don't tell you, is if you recall her, city council decides who the new mayor is. Oh.

That's BS. Oh, that's another new little. It's not there's not an emergency election or anything. No, there used to be. They took it away. They screwed us again. They got us again. I don't know what's matter with these people, but don't they understand that lesbians of color can't do things wrong? And if you think so, you're a racist.

Everybody's a racist, apparently. Mayor Chocolate Rain, I'm a big, big fan of. So here's one more. In 2026 election for Los Angeles mayor, if it were held today, whom would you most likely cast your vote? If you're still undecided who to vote for, please select. So 21% are undecided. 43% would go Caruso and only 36% would go for Karen Bass. Who is that 36%? Who are those people?

Well, I mean, what's her, Tracy Parks. She's our councilwoman. She just came out today. There's Karen Bass kind of caved and said everyone could go back into the Palisades. And she's sitting there saying, no, no, no, that's a really bad idea. We're not ready for anyone to come back in. It's city council. It's all the people that all the big, deep blue Democrats that vote and they support these. Let everybody go up there. Let them see it. I want to hide it.

Rather than follow predictable partisan patterns, voters in L.A. are fed up with failures and are demanding more confidence from their elected officials, said Owen Brennan, president of Madison McQueen. Clearly, there is an opportunity for new leadership, new ideas, and new direction for Los Angeles. Across L.A. County, most voters say fire hydrants running dry should be cause for political leaders to lose their jobs.

Voters also blamed one party rule for the lack of sufficient water storage. In the poll, 43% of likely voters would consider Republican leadership in Los Angeles County in the future, significantly outperforming Republican Party registration or predicted electorate turnout. So this is turning people to Republicans.

- I have a whole diatribe about that too, if you want to get into it. - Yeah, go ahead. What is your diatribe about that? Well, let me just show one more thing. - Yeah, you gotta show that. - Given everything you know, would you now consider Republican leadership in LA County and or city of Los Angeles? 46% say no, 43% say yes, and 11% are unsure. So 54% are either for Republican leadership in Los Angeles or aren't sure.

Wow. Now the orange part, that represents they're still on fire? Exactly. And here's one more. Yes, Kurt, we're still on fire. So consider Republican leadership. And this was the Republican turnout. This is a bummer. So that was the Republican. So this is what they predict would be the Republican turnout in 26. But right now, these are the people considering it.

And current LA, this is the current registered Republicans in LA County. But here's the amount of people who are considering. So that's a big deal. So what's your rant? Go ahead, tell me. - All right, so I have this idea. So think of like tug of war. Have you ever played tug of war? - Yeah. - All right, so in tug of war, if there's 1,000 people on the other side and there's 10, then it's not tug of war. - Right. - So my idea is that you take like half of the people that are blue and put them on the red side.

Just register, just register. Because my fantasy in my head is all those people up in Sacramento, they check who's registered. And if that Republican ticker goes up and up and up and up, it's just like opting in. You don't have to vote Republican. You have to register Republican. Because now you're evening the tug of war. Now you've got just as many Republicans that are loud and proud as you do Democrats.

Clearly, 43% of our state is Republican. The problem is they're not registered to vote. And whether you vote Republican or not, what it forces to have happen is it has Republicans and Democrats alike come to the table to run for office that are qualified.

Right now the real reality is we don't have Republican candidates in California because the general consensus is a Republican cannot win. So the best possible people, the best minds that could run this state, which is the fifth largest economy in the world, it is not a small feat. Very few people can manage that, are not running in California.

More importantly, because we have a Republican country at the moment, we are left out of the conversation. It's like we're not even part of this grand election that's happened. So we have to register red just so we can have a voice. And I think if everybody registers red, we make up that gap, we even that tightrope so that we can play tug of war fairly, we will get better candidates running.

and guys like Newsom won't win unless they change their narrative and they start working for the people that put him into office well it's a quite a dream that you'll get a governor in California that will work for the people that is quite a dream or a mayor in Los Angeles

Because water in a fire hydrant. Well, I'm going to die trying. Yeah. But, you know, it's just like, you know, Karen Bass became mayor, not because she has political talent or because people believe in her. It's because she it's a one party state, one party system. And she just knew how to navigate the party. And so the party put her in that position. Grooming. Yeah. And they the party without the party support, she couldn't be mayor. So the party that's all it's all about the party.

That's why she was silent behind that door. Because she's waiting for the party to come tell her what to say. Zero leadership. That's right. Zero leadership. Zero ability to communicate. Just turn, just say something. Say, I'm sorry I wasn't here. But I'm here now and I'm going to... Something. Leadership. She had 16 hours on that aircraft to figure out what she was going to say. And she lands. She can't say anything. She just does this. It was... I thought maybe she... She's probably hungover from a great wedding.

The Xanax hadn't worn off from the flight. So Elaine, what, what, so now what do you two, two things?

What do you think needs to happen? Because now they're getting ready for the Olympics, right? And by the way, they have a Jeffrey Epstein pal in charge of the Olympic Committee. Did you see that? Yeah, well, he's also the chairman of Gavin's new fundraising thing. Oh, no kidding. Yeah, my crazy brother sent it to me this morning. Thanks, Brian. So the guy they have in charge of running the Olympics in Los Angeles, which is happening in 2028, that guy was a Jeffrey Epstein pal.

And he's the head of Gavin Newsom's fundraising committee. Yeah, I think it's the same guy. Want me to read it to you? Yeah, read it to me. My shoulders are wiggling. Oh, here we go. Let me see. These guys are friends with Epstein. Let me make sure I got it right. So the group is... I just was looking at this a minute ago. A lot of... It's called Rise LA is the name of it.

Have you heard of it? Rise LA? No. That's what it's called. And I sent it to Jimmy. That's what I did. And it is Magic Johnson, Mark Walters, Casey Washerman, and they're selected to lead Rise LA. And then he sent me a follow-up picture with Epstein. Do you want to see the picture? Yeah. I have the whole thing. And they raised $100 million already.
