Jimmy Dore: 我认为本周的大新闻是关于以色列和哈马斯之间达成的停火协议。这份协议结束了加沙地带长达15个月的冲突,并涉及人质交换。虽然加沙民众庆祝停火协议,但许多以色列人走上街头抗议,认为内塔尼亚胡应该继续军事行动。特朗普也对此发表评论,认为停火协议的达成与他的胜选有关。协议的细节也引发了争议,一些人认为以色列在协议中做出了过多的让步。此外,停火协议的达成也暴露了以色列的弱点,可能会导致未来更多的人质绑架事件。 关于以色列和巴勒斯坦冲突的根源,我认为双方都存在问题。以色列持续侵占巴勒斯坦土地、杀害、折磨和监禁巴勒斯坦人民,这激化了巴勒斯坦人民的仇恨。同时,一些以色列人对巴勒斯坦人的仇恨言论也令人担忧。我们需要关注的是,如何才能真正实现和平,而不是一味地指责某一方。 Russell Dobular: (内容待补充) Keaton Weiss: (内容待补充)

Establishment media sucks. All gas lighting, so good luck. Bullshit we can't afford. Why he's fomenting this? Watch and see at medium speeds. And jumps to medium and hits them head on. It's the Jimmy Dore Show. All right, everybody. Well, the big news, of course, of the week is the ceasefire. Israel and Hamas reach deal on Gaza ceasefire and hostage control.

Release from NBC. A ceasefire deal has been reached to end 15 months of fighting in the Gaza Strip. Hamas and Israeli officials and a source briefed on the negotiations told NBC News on Wednesday. Of course, that is now everywhere since this morning. The hard-won agreement will also free dozens of hostages held in Gaza as well as Palestinians in Israeli jails.

bringing the first real break in violence since a week-long truce expired December 1, 2023. The news follows weeks of talks brokered by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt amid a brutal winter for civilians in Gaza, as well as dramatic developments across the Middle East that have dealt setbacks to Iran and Israeli foe.

Israel and Hamas have not officially announced the deal, although their senior Hamas official, Bassem Naeem, confirmed to NBC News the militant group had agreed to it. It will be made official, obviously, later this week. We are very happy to reach a deal today to stop the aggression against our people, but unfortunately we were able to reach the same deal last May, Naeem said.

Earlier, a diplomatic source in Washington told NBC News that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was preparing to meet with his security cabinet, where approval of the deal was expected quickly. He would then take the pact to the full cabinet, which is also expected to approve.

Israel's Supreme Court would have 24 hours to permit an appeal, so the earliest a ceasefire could go into effect would be Friday, the source says. So that's technically when this is a done-done deal. The first group of hostages would come out Sunday, the person added.

The Biden administration had called for a final effort before the president leaves office and many in the region and in Washington viewed Trump's inauguration Monday as an unofficial deadline because, as it continues, Trump pledged last month that all hell will break out, quote unquote, if Hamas doesn't promise to release hostages by January 20th and his Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff,

joined talks in the region to push for a deal. The status of dozens of hostages still held by Hamas has given it has riven Israeli society with families of remaining hostages leading a campaign to pressure the government to strike a deal.

But Netanyahu has also faced opposing domestic pressure with some senior ministers rejecting the deal as a surrender as sections of Israeli society push for a more hard line approach. See, so they always like to blame Netanyahu. Netanyahu is the big scapegoat, right? He's always the warmonger. Well, he's the barrier to peace. Well, it's Netanyahu and Netanyahu.

The Israeli public, many of whom are more hawkish even than Netanyahu. So here's reporting in the Hill. This gets to Donald Trump's take on the news. Trump says my presidential win led to Israel Hamas ceasefire.

President-elect Trump lauded the Israel Hamas ceasefire deal struck Wednesday, saying it would not have happened without his victory in November over Vice President Harris. So Trump posted on Truth Social, "This epic ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our historic victory in November, as it signaled to the entire world that my administration would seek peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans

and our allies. I am thrilled American and Israeli hostages will be returning home to be united, to be reunited, pardon me, with their families and loved ones. With this deal in place, my national security team, through the efforts of Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, will continue to work closely with Israel and our allies to make sure Gaza never, big capital letters, again, becomes a terrorist safe haven.

that's a little worrying. We will continue promoting peace through strength throughout the region as we build upon the momentum of this ceasefire to further expand the historic Abraham accords. This is only the beginning of great things to come for America and indeed the world. Sorry, were you going to say something? Can I, yeah. Can I just say when he says that we want to work closely with Israel and our allies to make sure Gaza never becomes a safe Haven for terrorists again, uh,

Maybe he means that he's not going to allow Bibi Netanyahu to fund them. Yeah, maybe he'll cut off. Right. That would be nice. They'll have some campaign finance reform in Israel. Maybe that would go a long way. I have an idea how you could do that. You could just stop fucking funding them. Right. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Okay.

We have achieved so much without even being in the White House. Just imagine all of the wonderful things that will happen when I return to the White House and my administration is fully confirmed so they can secure more victories for the United States. So here's news in Gaza. Tears, hugs and calls to the sky on the streets in Gaza as Palestinians wave flags and celebrate a ceasefire that will return their captives from Israel.

Allah is the greatest!

-

It's kind of heartbreaking. Poor people. You know, there's videos like this all over the internet. Um...

gaza celebrating the ceasefire deal and it just brings to mind you know all the videos that we've seen over the past year from israelis and israeli government officials and even just israeli rank-and-file civilians talk about how there are no innocent people in gaza they're none of them are innocent well if none of them are innocent why are there all these videos of them celebrating a peace deal right if if they're if they're such savages right if they're so bloodthirsty right if

If they have such violence in their hearts, why are they excited over a ceasefire? Why aren't they protesting their government saying, no, no, how could you sign a ceasefire? We want more blood. We want more blood because that incidentally is exactly what a lot of Israelis doing this week as fear struck, as fear set in that Netanyahu was going to make a deal. So these are Israelis protesting the ceasefire. Oh my God. Do not pressure us.

to give in to the Hamas. Pressure them to give in to us. Such sick people. Okay, so who's the warlike population? Who are the savages? Who wants war more? Who's more bloodthirsty? The rank-and-file Palestinians or the rank-and-file Israelis? Because the Palestinians seem overjoyed that we finally have a peace deal. And it's the Israelis who think that they got shafted in this. They want more blood, more violence. So who's who?

What do you guys think about that? It is quite a...

You know, I think I saw you guys talking about this the other day when they like to say, oh, well, they teach the Palestinians teach their kid to hate to hate. Right. And it's like at at best, this is both to both sides at best. So, I mean, we've all you know better than I do. I mean, you guys are both. Well, I'm sure you've seen the videos of of Israeli kids.

being taught to hate Arabs. Those videos they don't like to show you. You don't have to teach somebody to hate people who are murdering, who are bombing their homes and killing their relatives. You have people whose whole families have been wiped out. You have all these horror stories about people leaving their family at the hospital and coming back and they're all dead.

You don't need to raise them to hate the people who did that to them. You drove them off their land in the Nakba, and you've been unrelentingly stealing their land, murdering, torturing, and imprisoning them since then. It doesn't require any teaching. That's one of the most insane things that you hear from these Zionists. That's what passes for liberal. Yeah.

You know, we have to teach them not to hate. You're never going to teach people not to hate people who are killing them and the people they love.

The... Oh, now I forget what I was going to say. Oh, the Abby Martin. I don't know if you've seen those interviews she did on the streets. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, those went everywhere. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, when she was just interviewing run-of-the-mill Israelis and asking them, and the most vile, disgusting... You know, it was...

It was the things that you would picture Nazis saying about Jews they were saying about Palestinians. Sure. It is maybe the most stunning, remarkable things of this generation, how we've become aware of how the Israelis became the thing that they have been fighting against their whole life. And I'm not saying Jews. I'm saying Zionists, right? Because you know lots of Jews who are not pro-Israel.

That's right. Well, how is Israel taking this generally? Well, Zionists are losing their minds after Trump forces a ceasefire. And it's so satisfying, says Adam. We were better off with Kamala. We were better off with Kamala. She was so weak, we could have done anything with her.

Nile Berg says Israeli sources confirm that Israel plans to release literal murderers and countless terrorists in exchange for Israeli civilians. Has Bibi gone insane? Why is he agreeing to this? Cheryl E. Cheryl's very upset. To those still saying Trump has nothing to do with this hostage deal, listen for yourselves. He has everything to do with it.

And it doesn't matter what anybody thinks or says, this will not end well for Israel. So here is a brief piece of sound of Trump calling into whatever this show is. We are very close to getting it done.

And they have to get it done. If they don't get it done, there's going to be a lot of trouble out there, a lot of trouble like they have never seen before. And they will get it done. And I understand it's been a handshake and they're getting it finished and maybe by the end of the week. But it has to. So there's Donald Trump foreshadowing that.

Israel would have been better off with Kamala Harris. This is Bibi and Israelis in general losing their bet on Trump. And Shael says, of course, she would have been better for everyone. Everyone. Awful news. I'm shocked if this is the deal. From what I read in this tweet, Israel has given in to all their demands and get nothing in return but dead hostages and no guarantees. Wow. Well, like most things Israeli says, that's not...

really true. The 33 hostages, I think they released 23 living ones and then there are 10 who had passed away. Cheryl says, I can't sleep. I feel sick to my stomach about this insane deal and what my husband shared with me and just all of it. And the finer details of the deal being proposed is a slap in the face of the alleged 33 or 34. Of the alleged 33 or

34 hostages to be released in phase one. Only three will likely be released on day one. Then a handful more a week later. Then another handful. It won't be all at once. And so much can go wrong. Go ahead. You got more. You got three more paragraphs.

I'm not doing three paragraphs. But more importantly, just the very fact we're being threatened to accept this deal by a foreign government. Oh, oh, oh. So you're being threatened to accept this deal by a foreign government. Interesting. You seem to like the foreign government when the foreign government gives you billions of dollars to wage your war. You took the money. You took the weapons. But now you don't like being pushed around by a foreign government. Now all of a sudden we're a foreign government.

Who has proven that it doesn't have Israel's best interest at heart. Yeah, no, we don't have best interest. No, no, no. Our government has not been sufficiently loyal to Israel. Yeah. As a world, we've just given terrorists all over the world details of our weakness. Instead of mass shootings, we're going to start seeing mass kidnappings as happens in Africa. Wow. I know these people.

terrorist groups learn from each attack they commit. They see what works and what doesn't. Exactly like the velociraptors testing the electric fence in Jurassic Park. Yeah, she must be a Thomas Friedman fan. I was just going to say she must have read that article.

They're like Safaka lemurs coming over the fence sideways. I know he was right. BB is the Safaka lever. He is a sideways bipedal primate. And now they found our weakness and it will be exploited time and again. Your weakness. What is your weakness? That the United States at some point is going to stop you from doing a genocide?

Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We had some points that, all right, enough is enough. You have to wrap this up. Yep.

That's weakness. I have so much more I could say, but what's the point? There is no positive outcome here. Sure, getting some hostages back will give some people comfort, but it will be short-lived and short-term, and it will only guarantee the next war and more, so the rules of the next war by which the terrorists will play. Yeah, so not taking it very well. Well, yeah, the difference, Cheryl, is –

That war will take place against a much weakened Israel that's being sanctioned, diplomatically isolated and boycotted around the world. And you lost this one. So how do you think that one's going to go for you? Right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Well, that's the other thing, man. You know, Anthony Blinken was just saying at the Atlantic Council that, you know,

Hamas has recruited almost as many fighters as it lost in this war. Right. Which means the Israeli objective to eradicate Hamas, assuming this ceasefire holds, which knock on wood, it does, then that's a failure. That's a loss. Israel has lost this war, ultimately, is what that means, according to its own terms. Sure. What would you do if you just lived through this?

Right. Freaking anybody would join. Everybody said that. Yeah, everybody said that on day one. That was I forget who exactly came out and said it, but they said and this has been said before. This is a widely used phrase at this point. You can't kill an idea.

Meaning if you brutalize people, you're going to create violent pushback. And what do you think was going to happen here? So, of course, they have regained almost all of their numbers. And Israel's mission to eradicate them was in the end,

despite all the horror we've witnessed over the past year and change, a failure. Thankfully, this video was finally subtitled. So Netanyahu's chief proponent on Israel's Channel 14, Errol Siegel, we're the first to pay a price for Trump's election. So let's watch the English subtitled version of this Israeli news segment. This was kind of in advance of the ceasefire. This is a few days ago when it looked like this was going to be a done deal. It wasn't official yet at the time. But here's this piece of sound.

I love that. That's great.

when Trump was elected what was I doing here I was wrong in thinking that the first to pay the price for his election would be Ukrainians it might be we who are the first to pay the price for Trump that's the ultimate irony who knew Trump would keep the war in Ukraine going for six months but in the Israel war it was a complete opposite everybody thought well maybe we'll get into Ukraine but Gaza looks terrible turns out looks like the exact opposite is gonna happen you're going to date

I don't think this is what we planned, what we expected.

We thought we would take control of the northern strip and they would allow us to prevent aid. What? This fucking guy talks too fast even for the subtitles.

So fast. Even for the subtitles to keep up, it's like you still can't follow it with the subtitles. Without the subtitles, it's totally impossible. What he's basically saying, the upshot there is we thought we were going to be able to do ethnic cleansing and genocide. That's what he said. Yes. He said we thought we'd be able to cut off the humanitarian aid. Yes. Yes. That's what he said. Who said that out loud? Yeah. Exactly. What kind of a sick society where you can say something like that and it's not the end of your career? Not even censured.

I mean, so you, I mean, again, I defer to you because you're Jews. So would you, would you say, I mean, what you just said is that what kind of, so you're saying the Israeli society has some kind of a sick underpinning to it that is based on some kind of mental illness that they all embrace? Yes. Well, because remember Zion, the Zionists,

they they have convinced people with a lot of help from the media that zionism was a mainstream view among jews and it was not these guys were considered fanatical fringe lunatics by most jews they were only able to get uh support because of the holocaust they were able to use that

to legitimize themselves. But the Reformed Temple, which is one of the largest branches of Judaism, you don't have like a pope with Judaism. You have the different practices, different levels of orthodoxy, basically. The Reformed Temple did not officially recognize Israel until the 90s.

for that reason. Yeah. No, but you would never know that. You would never know that. You would be given the impression Jews always supported Zionism. They were always for Zionism. Look, now...

keeping it real most Jews have been brainwashed into thinking that Israel and Judaism are one in the same but no people more so than Israelis themselves Utah I I just talked to a friend of mine I I used to be in business with an Israeli and he I talked to him about Israel human traffic

- Gun running. He doesn't know shit about shit. He doesn't know anything and he's not a dumb guy. It's just, they are so brainwashed. And how do you justify going and stealing the land of this people that didn't do anything to you? They projected the Nazi crimes that had been done to them

onto these Arabs. They defined them as anti-Semitic for no reason. They were the ones in Christian Europe during the Inquisition who were rescuing them into the Ottoman Empire. They had been living peacefully side by side for centuries. I highly recommend, because this is the only film I've ever successfully deployed that

to convince a Zionist to change their mind. Tantora. Tantora is a great documentary where you have people who were part of the Nakba on the record talking about rape and mass killing. And laughing about it. Some of them. And some of them like, yeah, it's messed up. See, that's what everybody shows in the clips. You know what was most revealing to me in that movie?

They had the old ladies who they were talking about putting up a memorial in the town to the Palestinians. And, you know, some of them were against it. But one of them said, well, why can't we do that? Like, we go to Berlin and they have memorials. So why can't we have a memorial? That is just admitting.

that you're Berlin you are Berlin for these people that you would even frame it that way and this is someone who's sympathetic to the Palestinians and she's saying yeah well they have a memorial for us why can't we have a memorial for them I mean for a government official to just

right out in the open say you know we're not going to be able to deny humanitarian aid sure i mean well because what is not justified when they're nazis that's what they've all convinced themselves right they've all convinced themselves these people are nazis and what passes for liberal is well it's the fault of their leaders

They're being misled into being Nazis. That's a liberal Israeli. But the basic assumption that Arab societies inherently like the people who did the Holocaust, so they have no choice. Golda Meir, you are shit.

this celebrated figure in israeli history one of our most famous statements was one day we may be able to forgive them for killing our children but we'll never be able to forgive them for making us kill their children right exactly you want to sum up their mentality you can't find a better statement it's very similar to the liberals in america

who went against every liberal value because they had convinced themselves they were fighting Trump, fighting Hitler in Trump. So they used lawfare. Everything they accused Trump of doing, they did.

And the biggest one was when they tried to prosecute not only him, but his political movement. And that's that's like they did censorship. I mean, the hallmarks of fascism they embraced fully, 100 percent.

And because they convinced themselves they were fighting Hitler. And here we are. Same thing with the Zionists, right? If they can convince the population of Israel that they're fighting Nazis and that anything is okay to fight Hitler and fight Nazis. In all wars, they dehumanize the enemy. This is perhaps the most thorough and long lasting example of it in history.

Yeah, but the entire population just completely brainwashed to see their enemy as inhuman so that anything is justified. So you're telling me that them chopping the heads off of 40 babies, that doesn't just. Oh, OK. Well, hey, man, it's right behind me for a reason.

The first of the Trump nominees went before the firing squad, Mr. Hegseth. It was quite a rambunctious hearing. We're going to show a few clips from it, but just an overview here from the AP.

I want to point out before I even read this. So I looked at three different articles and settled on this one, even though there was quite a bit of back and forth about Israel. None of them mentioned that none of them talk about it. Every article I looked at wants to talk about the sexual questions and D I not, not a word about that. Well,

Well, same thing. You know, Pam Bondi had her hearings today. I've seen countless clips of Democrats barking at her about the 2020 election denial and stuff like that. Not a single one of her saying she wants to sick the FBI on pro-Palestine protesters. Of course not. From either party, I'm sure. Yeah.

Yeah. Uh, Pete Hegseth president elect Donald Trump's pick for defense secretary publicly face senators for the first time after weeks of questions from Democrats and praise from Republicans about his unconventional resume. Hegseth a combat veteran and former TV news host says he will be a change agent and a warrior as Republicans demand new and strong leadership at the Pentagon.

Democrats say Hegseth's lack of experience running a huge department, his past comments about women and black troops, and allegations of excessive drinking and sexual misconduct make him unfit to serve.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Senator Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, called Hegseth's nomination unconventional, but compared him to Trump, saying that may be just what makes him an excellent choice. Rhode Island Senator Jack Reed, the committee's top Democrat, said Hegseth lacks, quote, the character and the competence to lead the defense.

Really? He lacks confidence. Well, come on. I mean, say what you will about the Sullivan Lloyd team. They were on top of it. If your objective is to bring us to the brink of World War III and cost hundreds of thousands of lives, destroy families, light the world on fire, those guys were a crackerjack team. Okay. I mean, he's no happy-for-job brownie.

Heck of a job. Heck of a job. Generation of Ukrainian men.

Wiped out. Wiped out. Wiped out. He lacks the character and the competence to lead the Defense Department. Reid said he has voted to confirm the nine previous defense secretaries, including in Trump's first term, but will not support Hegseth. Now, look, I've got critiques of Hegseth. I think he's a Zionist maniac, but that's not the issue these people have.

That's not their issue. Their issue. The fact that you approved the previous nine, that's not something I would brag about. Right. Like, so what's the issue with him? You thought Lloyd Austin was a good idea. So this guy should just sail right through that.

So, but obviously that's their issues are not the real issues. Reed said he wants Hegseth to explain why DEI efforts make the military weak and quote, how you propose to undo that without undermining military leadership and harming readiness, recruitment and retention.

Hegseth said the military was... Hey, look, you know, I believe...

we actually did a piece about the two mommies ad that they did for military recruitment yeah and it's funny how all these things run in parallel it's very much like how they tried to turn all these action franchises into girl brands yes uh you know girls aren't into that i i'm sorry yeah the guy who's gonna go and hump gear in the middle of the desert

It's generally not the liberal girl with two moms. There are exceptions where that person can be used in the military. They should be welcome. But to focus your recruiting on that is insane. That's just not the type of person that joins the military. It just fucking isn't it.

It doesn't matter what you do to try to promote that to that audience. They're not interested. If there's anything this election cycle taught us is that women should not be in the Secret Service.

There's a place. Hey, look, man. That's the reason why 95% of bricklayers are men. You know what I mean? Super workers are men. Right. And they always want to point out outliers. And sure, there are outliers, man. When I was in college, when I was learning, I wanted to know how to do set design.

Uh, so, cause I knew I was going to wind up doing my own stuff. Um, so the woman that taught me technical drawing and drafting, you know, that woman was built like mean Joe green. Like she was enormous, man. Like, yeah, I bet she could have been a firefighter. It's a, that's a rare case. It's a very rare case. It's not the way to bet.

um yes if that woman wanted to join the military and could pass all the tests sure right and there are places in the military that are not as physically demanding doug doug mcgregor we had him on the other day he said women make better pilots he said they have better hand-eye coordination so okay really that's what he said yeah okay well he's not talking about caitlin jenner

Yeah, no, no, he, he actually brought up, he geeked out a little bit. He brought up starship troopers and he said, uh, he said they were right. Because if you looked at where the women were positioned in the military, in that movie, they were the pilots and that's actually accurate because they make better pilots than men. They have better hand eye coordination. That's what he said. Um,

Hegsess said the military was a forerunner in courageous racial integration in ways no other institutions were willing to do, but argued that modern diversity and inclusion policies divide troops and didn't prioritize meritocracy.

I would not disagree with that. Yeah, I mean, that's all. No, I mean, the military was very trailblazing in that way for its time. But I think they still pushed meritocracy, and you don't have to lower your standards to include people in marginalized communities. You don't have to do that. Well, it's an inherent...

Go ahead. D.I. is inherently divisive and that's its intention. Yes, that's exactly right. Big grift. It's not about advancing those groups. We had a model for that. When Trump was confronted at the Black Journalists of America thing, when he was questioned about, hey, why do you call Kamala Harris D.I. higher? And what he what he should have said back.

was, well, do you have a problem with people being DEI hires? And if you do, if you don't, why do you see that as an insult? Right. Yeah. Right. You guys support it, right? You support DEI and DEI hires. Are you saying DEI hires are inherently not as good? So that's what he should have said. He should have turned it right back on him.

But everybody knows that DEI hires are you're lowering the standards to do that. You don't have to lower standards to include minorities in your projects. Hey, I was being polite. Willie told me she could suck the chrome off a trailer. I was being nice.

Heg Seth made overtures to women and black troops in an attempt to blunt some of the criticism of his previous comments that women should straight up not serve in combat and his suggestions that some black troops may not be qualified. Now, I don't know the quote in question regarding that.

As far as women serving in combat, I, you know, and this seems to be what he says. If you can pass the test, okay. Yeah. But there shouldn't be any. Like, I don't, like, I mean, that's. Go ahead. Yeah, I mean, that's my opinion. If you can pass the test, sure, go ahead. That's it. That's it. You don't lower the standards, you know.

I don't have any problem. The reason why I always thought they didn't have women serve in combat roles was because then they made them extra vulnerable to being prisoners of war and they could be raped and things like that.

There's that. And there is, I haven't had the time to delve into it. There have been some articles floating around in response to this hearings, citing studies saying that all same-sex units perform better. I can't comment. I haven't delved into it. I could see how it could be distracting to have women and men serving in combat units and intimate activities.

You can't have quarters. You need a certain kind of warrior. Right. And they're not they're going to they're going to, you know, be rough around the edges. You can have a bunch of fucking Phil Donahue's fighting your wars for you. Exactly. Exactly. And that's you know, you look at a lot of what the liberal vision is.

that that we we actually had it in our top 10 like worst propaganda of the year the uh the guys for harris commercial that they did oh yeah i'm a man i'm a man they had they tried to sell that you know i mean tim waltz this is a different kind of masculinity this is this is a different kind of cool guy you're not selling that you're not selling that you're you're selling that to some very castrated low-t guys

You're not selling that to most guys. And frankly, you're not selling that to most women, man. I used to, when mad about you was on, I used to say, yeah, in real life, she'd be fucking the mechanic.

I don't know why all these groups are itching to join as combat veterans anyway. Like, I don't understand it. Like, to me, it's like if I were gay and they said, well, gay people aren't allowed in the military. I'd be like, all right, well, that's fine. That's a bullet. It really sucks. Really sucks that I can't. I would like to go and get my arms blown off for no reason. But I guess you just won't allow me to. That's a pity. All right. So where were we? Access with question.

New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat, told Hegseth that his quotes about women are terrible and harmful to morale. Quote, you will have to change how you see women to do this job, she said.

A senior defense official who wasn't authorized to talk with the media and spoke on the condition of anonymity said the standards for military service haven't been lowered and are based on each field and ability, not gender. Like I said, I can't speak to that. I haven't had time to deep dive into this. Hegseth was questioned about the issue by Iowa Senator Joni Ernst, an Iraq veteran and survivor of sexual assault.

Hegseth reiterated an earlier promise to Ernst that he will hire a senior official to prioritize those cases in the military. Quote, you will have to. Oh, a senior defense official who was. Oh, hang on. Did I? Yeah. Sorry. Duplicated that.

Hegseth did not directly address the allegations of sexual misconduct and aggressively pushed back on Democrats who asked questions about it, calling it a coordinated smear campaign. I'm not a perfect person, but redemption is real, Hegseth said. In 2017, a woman told police that Hegseth sexually assaulted her, according to a detailed investigative report recently made public.

Hegseth has denied any wrongdoing and told police at the time that the encounter at a Republican women's event in California was consensual.

He was not charged, but not a woman, a confidential settlement. Yes. Head off a potential lawsuit. As anybody who wanted a career would have fucking done. And if you look into that, if you look into that story, I mean, it's easy to just throw a couple of headlines around. But if you look into that story, it's hard to not come down on Hegseth's side.

from what i've seen of it there's certainly not enough there for you to say oh yeah he did that you know sometimes with these stories you're like yeah he did that but uh yeah no it doesn't it certainly doesn't rise to the level that it should be an issue in his confirmation i would agree

Asked by Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono, a Democrat, if he had entered into a settlement, Hegseth replied that he was falsely accused. He has said repeatedly that he was completely cleared.

Hirono also asked him about Bill Clinton gave Paula Jones $800,000. Yeah. And then we get George Staplepagus saying George Clinton has passed the character test. Where did he take that test? On Epstein Island? Yeah.

Well, on that level, it goes without saying the Democrats still put Bill Clinton on stage. They still platform him. They still platform him. It's unquestioned that he's a serial molester. No,

Nobody seriously denies that. And he's they would deny that he's a rapist. I don't think any reasonable person would. I believe Juanita Broderick. Me too. But even if you don't believe that, the fact that he's a serial assaulter of women is really beyond reasonable doubt at this point. But you keep putting them on stage at the DNC. So, you know, they're self-righteous when they want to be.

Uh, Hirono also asked him about reports of excessive drinking. TechSeth has told Republican senators in meetings over the last month that he will not drink on the job. Republicans does. I love the, he didn't say I've got my chip or anything. It's just like, not when I'm working.

Republicans dismissed the allegations. Senator Mark Wayne Mullen, Republican, Oklahoma, noted that Democratic senators had asked Hegseth about his drinking, saying, how many senators have showed up drunk to vote? Don't tell me you haven't seen it because I know you have. Mullen said to his colleagues, I'm sure that's true.

I'm sure that's true. Do you see that story in Australia where the cameras caught the two MPs having sex in the house?

like on the floor when everyone was gone. No, no, I didn't. Yeah, like late at night. It was a while ago. It's like a year ago. Okay, so hey, yeah, those are the bullshit issues, which not surprisingly is what they got into. Michael Tracy here rightly says, Pete Hegseth is an end times fanatic, a former professional Iraq war lobbyist,

called for bombing North Korea and Iran, demanded secret weapons shipments to Ukraine, and the list goes on. There you go. But of course, Senate Dems focus on women in combat and frivolous personal peccadillos. And that's why they're a failed fucking party. It is. It is. Because you want to ask real questions from a left perspective or even just from a good government perspective. There's plenty there.

as we're going to see. It's like I say in my act. That's just proof right there that the parties agree on the worst things. Of course. Well, that's what...

Yeah, that's why they only want to litigate identity. The Republicans did it, too. They kept wanting to talk about Jesus. It's like if your parents were divorced, but they both agreed you should go to military school. Yeah, right. All right. So here's here's XF. Now, this and as I said, this did come up and we'll see a little clip where Zionist came up. The articles don't even mention it. You think that's kind of significant, especially now. Right.

If you open up your Bible, open up your Bible.

God granted Abraham this land. The 12 tribes of Israel established the constitutional monarchy 1000 BC. King David was their second king and established Jerusalem as the capital. Jews were fighting foreign occupiers for centuries, ultimately maintaining a presence there. But the key aspect, and right now, Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims are trying to erase the Jewish ties to Jerusalem as we speak. I've been there multiple times. They're trying to make it look like Jews were never there.

The most important aspect of this is the international community granted sovereignty to the Jews, to the Jewish state after World War II. And Israel has had to fight defensive war after defensive war with every country coming to crush it ever since then just to exist.

all right so this guy makes me i can whoever i want so i do it got a problem with it read the bible open up your bible yeah jesus didn't want you drunk why did he keep turning the water into wine yeah so i'd be a little more concerned about that than unproven sexual allegations

And the idea that that's the thing they agree on all the horrible shit, which is why, which is why they ended up, it took them so long to impeach Donald Trump. Cause they had to find a crime that they also weren't complicit in. Right. Right. Right.

They would never pause the shipment of fucking arms to Ukraine. That's what they impeached him on. The one thing that you like about Trump, that turns out to be an impeachable offense. Well, that's it. That's it. That's why they're going after Hegseth. It's the same thing with economics, too.

It's the same thing across the board. They can only litigate identity. But it's the Republicans too. The Republicans, their version of that is they kept wanting to talk about Jesus. Right, right. They kept wanting to talk about his relationship to Christ. How does that... Can you imagine if a Hindu went on the floor and...

in a confirmation hearing started going on about, I really appreciate your devotion to Krishna and Krishna consciousness. Can you imagine if a bunch of senators conducted a confirmation hearing that way? Can you imagine if somebody was standing for confirmation who had screamed about the Islam taking over the world?

He's screaming this insane biblical prophecy stuff. He should not even be nominated for defense secretary. He should not even be in that position. Not because of his views on DEI or he likes to tie one on because of his stated views.

on one of our most important foreign policy entanglements. But, you know, just as Greenwald had pointed out when he nominated Marco Rubio, that, you know, these are people who Trump,

is going to direct to employ his foreign policy. They're going to have to serve Donald Trump. And as we've just witnessed in Israel-Palestine, his views trump everybody. It's including Huckabee, including Hegseth, including so. Yeah, I don't see this, why I find it repugnant. I don't find it disqualifying.

A lot of presidents have been very surprised when they become president at how much the people they appoint actually run the government and how shut out of the day-to-day decision-making they really are. It's an enormous bureaucracy. Who you appoint is policy.

That is policy because you can't micromanage an enormous federal bureaucracy. Yeah, there's that saying. Yeah, you can't constantly be pulling leashes and putting out fires and trying to if you appoint a bunch of people with these kind of fanatically rabid.

pro-Israel views that is going to be reflected in the way the State Department is run on a day-to-day level and the way the FBI does its job. You're only one person as the president. You can't micromanage all that. Now, will Trump maybe make some big moves like he did here that in some way contradict that? Sure. But the overall drift of the foreign policy is naturally going to be

fanatically zionist because he put fanatical zionists in every job every single job

That's the thing that I think is even more maddening than hearing Gavin Newsom lie about all the state. He does this a sleight of hand. All the state reservoirs were full. The state. You see how he says that? He doesn't say I didn't pick up on that. But, yeah, I guess the reservoir above Pacific Palisades, that was one hundred and seventeen million gallons empty. I guess that's not run by the state.

So I guess that... Did you guys ever figure out what this was when he was doing that? Where was he doing that? On the TV interviews? Yeah, so you didn't see that? I didn't pick up on that. I just may not have noticed the shimmying. So he said, first of all, he laughs and smiles, which is a weird thing to do when you're standing in a disaster zone. And he says, I was just on the phone...

this morning with the governor of Hawaii, and he was talking about developers coming in, and he literally started doing this. He's laughing, and he starts doing this. And it was all over Twitter. I wonder what... I wish I could get a body language expert to tell me, what does this mean? Because he was...

He was talking about how there's going to be people coming in trying to take advantage of these situations and buy up land.

And he starts saying, so my team is working on that. And he starts doing this. I'm not kidding. It was fucking kind of unbelievable. I wonder if I can play it. Hang on. We're dealing with a myriad of issues. I was just talking to Josh Green, the governor of down in Hawaii. You had some ideas around some land use concerns he has around speculators coming in, buying up.

properties and the like. So we're already working with our legal teams to move those things forward. And we'll be presenting those in a matter of days, not just weeks. What the fuck? It's a strange behavior. And it's weird that he says, I was talking to the guy, the governor. He's like thinking, hey, yeah, his presidential dreams are fucked too now. Is that why he's laughing? Yeah. Yeah.

What would be humorous about talking to someone else who experienced a tragedy that you're currently going through? It'd be like, yeah, I talked to another cancer survivor and I'm going to get that. Why would that be? Yeah, I think that's what made him like that guy thought he was going to be president. He's fucked. Yeah, it's very bizarre. But but Studio City is OK, apparently. Right. There was one fire that was put out and it didn't hit the rest of it.

No. You know what's funny also is I'm seeing video after video of people who saved their houses. And my sister-in-law's house was in Altadena. Now, her whole block, Altadena is basically gone, except for a few houses here and there. Hers is one of them. And I saw this video because she had...

someone that she knew in the fire department or somehow went and checked on her house and put out, they put out spot fires around her house. And so her house didn't burn. Right. So there were fires burning in bushes and things. Right. Right. So I was watching this video this morning on YouTube about this guy who saved his house in the Pacific Palisades. And he said his father-in-law had a gas hose that they hooked up into like an inch and a half gas hose.

that they put in his pool. And he said, what he goes, it's not like a wall of flames would come. He said, well, just, you'd have to put out the spot fires. And if you didn't, they would, they would very quickly catch. And that's what would happen. He said, so he would show, he went around showing where all the spot fires were that he put out with this hose hooked up to his pool. Right. And I was like, son of a bitch. So, uh,

This is a very, I'm not saying that the fire itself was preventable, but it was very doable to mitigate the damage from these fires. And they didn't do it. And then I don't know if you've got, I read a whole thing on Zero Hedge

last night about how they stopped doing the pruning, right, where they could get rid of the shrubs. They stopped doing that because an environmental group launched a lawsuit saying that there was an endangered shrub that they were... Yeah, well, guess what happened to that shrub now? They're all gone. They're all burnt up. The whole thing's burnt. So this... To me, it's just unbelievable. And of course...

You know, we have the unfortunate people going around saying that anybody who criticizes the way they handle this is just a moron sitting in their underwear. Hey, aren't you wearing underwear while you're saying that? We're all wearing underwear. Well...

That's a lifestyle choice. Yeah, right. Yeah, exactly. I was in my underwear. They don't see us from the waist down. I was in my underwear when I figured out that the vaccine didn't stop transmission or contraction. I was in my underwear when I did that. I was in my underwear when I figured out that the virus dust was made in a Wuhan lab, but that didn't come from a wet market. I was in my underwear when I figured out that Fauci was lying about masks. I do a lot of shit in my underwear. You wear a lot of underwear. Yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, so it's unfortunate. I don't think that's getting a lot of traction. I mean, really, if you look at this week, it is almost just a tour of the complete collapse of liberalism in the political debate. I mean, on the most extreme level, we're going to get into the ceasefire.

You have the fires in LA, which they have not. I don't think there's any state that's as Democrat as California. Super majority Democrat. So they own that. And then the least serious of these things, but I think very telling is.

towards the end of the show, we're going to get into the vote they did on trans sports, where they're all just ranting and raving and foaming at the mouth about how pedophiles are going to be checking genitals. And you look at this whole thing

collection of impressions and it's just it's a party that and and a politic of politics that has completely collapsed even now in the face of all this they thought it was a really good idea to take that kind of stand to keep biological males in women's sports and just scream that you're a pervert if you don't think that's a good idea in like very graphic superheated just

My over the top insane terms. That is a party that's just completely done. They're just completely done. Well, I can't wait to talk about that story. But it is...

And actually, it's saddening to me to see people defending the politicians instead of criticizing them. And again, attacking the critics of politicians and the critics of the establishment. The comedians are supposed to always poke a hole in the narrative of the status quo. But don't you feel they're on their last legs, though? Like those people who would attack someone like you.

They're really losing power rapidly. I wouldn't even say they're losing it. They don't really have it anymore. This is the dying bee stinging. Well, do you see the people still trying to pretend that the Israel deal that

Trump just completely forced. I just sent you that meme. Roland Martin, you know that hack? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know what he is, but is he a journalist? Does he pretend he's a journalist? I think he does. I think he does a YouTube show now, right?

So he's not. He's a hack and he carries water for a political party. And so constantly he has to lie. And right now he just, I tweeted out about Trump's Israel deal and he came out and said, well, what Jimmy is ignoring is that Netanyahu, so the new theme is that Netanyahu wouldn't do a deal to help Trump get elected. Even though Batting gave him everything he wanted.

Somehow he wanted to get Trump, which is bullshit because... No, no. Oh, yeah, I know. No, Emma Vigeland came right out of the gate with that, comparing it to Nixon, Secret Peace Deal, and Randy Carter and Reagan. There's no evidence for it at all. Hey, if there was, I'd be all over it. No evidence for that whatsoever. None. Yeah, anyway, and it doesn't make sense because, well, why wouldn't...

If he was willing to do a ceasefire peace deal, why wouldn't he do it fucking months ago? Why would he wait for Trump to get it? What is Trump going to offer him that Biden wasn't? They would give him everything he ever wanted and asked for. Yeah, and if they do plan on going back on the deal, then that's something they would do anyway. I don't see a reason why they would hold out until Trump won.

you know, only to sign this after if they were only going to go back on it anyway. So, yeah, no, I mean, that is pretty crazy. I just don't, like when I saw that video of Jen Psaki blaming Elon Musk and Donald Trump for the wildfires in California, I'm just like, after they lied to you about Russiagate,

After they lied to you about COVID and masking and where the virus came from, and the vaccine, after they lied to you about the lockdowns and after all that, and then after they lied to you about Joe Biden's dementia, up until five seconds, up until he basically shit his pants on stage. Yeah, right.

that you still go back to those people to get the truth about anything. You still want to get your news from Jen Psaki, who was a paid professional liar in the first place. That's what this press secretary does for the president. And then I just I just that the mentality of that of turning to those same people who have been lying to you for eight years now.

straight at the with a straight face at the top of their lungs and the world the most unbelievable his city insidious lies uh aren't you're still gonna go to those people and what they're doing now is they've turned into the conspiracy theorists that they've tried to call everybody else they are the conspiracy theorists the corporate news are now conspiracy theorists 100 percent that yeah but they're really i mean look at their numbers

That is a vanishingly small pie at this point. That's why I'm saying it's just, it's watching a dying animal and its death throes. It definitely doesn't feel like a debate anymore. It feels like their whole political careers have been built around these tactics. And it's going to take a complete, a

revamping of the entire political left before you're going to see any kind of change because they don't know what else to do. Like someone like Jen Psaki got where she is being a liar who has nothing to say other than look at them, look at them, look at them, look at them.

until you clear all these people out of the way and i i include the squad in that if you if you look at the things they're saying on the floor of the house they're part of that like this whole politics has to go and it will go because they're never getting power back this way is what i mean it's like a dying animal who's listening to them who's listening to them who's taking them seriously

I hope you're right. It'll find another form. But that liberalism, I think, is done as a political force. You know, hashtag MeToo went out the window when Joe Biden got nominated, right? Right. Yep. And so...

Now I hope the rest of this woke bullshit goes away and people realize where it came from. It didn't come from the grassroots. It came from the CIA, the NGOs, the Rockefeller Foundation, the Ford Foundation. And it was everything to do to separate political action from class consciousness. From class and economics. That's right. And they've so long represented a left-wing

a left, a so-called left with no economics, with no class perspective. None. They don't know what else to do. It's the way they've been trained.

As politicians, as journalists, they've been trained to go to these crazy, outrageous culture war takes on everything to the point that I don't think most of them can pivot. I don't think most of them can really adjust. I think they're going to crash and burn and you're going to see a new wave coming.

come in. That's where me and King keep saying, you know, this moment represents a tremendous opportunity because the libs are out of our way. Now, finally, we can make a direct appeal to people and explain. No, no, no. When we had Greg Foreman on the other day, he started saying, well, I know y'all. And I said, no, no, no, that's not us. That's the liberals. They hate us. They hate us more than they hate you. That is true. Right. Exactly. That is true. Well,

You know, now finally we can all roll up our sleeves and start working with Cenk Uygur. Yeah. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up. It's the most affordable premium program in the business.
