Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for those tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Jimmy, it's Senator Joe Biden. Do you mean President Joe Biden, sir? You're currently the president.

I know what I am, numbnuts. But I used to be senator, and you get to use that title even after you aren't in the Senate anymore. Yeah, I know. So I decided to mix it up today. I'm Senator Biden. I'm making everyone call me that, too. All right, fine, Senator. Have your way. What have you been up to? Well, as president, Senator Joe Biden has been a busy man. Busy with what?

Blaming Russia for things. Oh, boy. Don't give me that. Do not give me that. I do not want it. You know what time it is. That's right. My administration today is announcing measures that will hold Russia accountable for having interfered with the 2024 election. But the 2024 election hasn't even happened yet. That's right. We're getting out ahead of this one. Yeah.

Waiting until you lose and then blaming Russia for it is a sucker's game. The smart man points out that it's Russia's fault as he's losing. I see. How is Russia interfering this time? Same old playbook. Spreading misinformation. Misinformation. And disinformation. Disinformation. Perhaps even mal-information. Mal-information.

And some sources report, Jimmy, and this is borderline unbelievable, no information at all. Wow. I know. There's this cable news network, RT. Yeah. And we did some research, and it turns out RT used to stand for Russia Today. Can you believe that? Yeah, I can.

It had Russia right there in the name. Yep. Just saying it out loud. And today, you know, like right now, it sounds like a threat to me. I know.

Also, KFC used to be Kentucky Fried Chicken. Yep. That's not related to this investigation. I just thought that was interesting. The stuff that this intern kid has figured out is pretty crazy. What kind of misinformation is Russia spreading now? Oh, anything. Anything negative about Kamala Harris or me or Tim Walz is pretty much from Russia. Isn't that a little too convenient to...

Well, where the hell else would it come from, wise guy? New Swaziland? How about maybe just the news? Yeah, but what news? How many other RTs in sheep's clothing are out there? We don't know how deep this goes. So just to be safe, you better assume any kind of criticism is trusted. Anything...

Yeah, just to be safe. For example, you hear this stuff now, the Kamala Harris, these are different actions. We're addressing different crowds. Stuff like that. Obvious Russian misinformation. No, no, it's not. That's something she's clearly doing. I don't think asking what's up with that is out of line. Man, I don't even know what you're talking about. Different actions? What? No one even knows what this is.

What are you, studying dialects now? What are you, Alan Lomax? See, this is a Russian online disinformation machine at work. Using websites, social media. Yeah, a reporter actually asked about this at the White House press conference. Yeah, a guy from Fox News, basically run by Russia. Can you prove that? Can you not prove it? No, I can't prove it.

Yeah, okay, worded that wrong. Okay, what about questions regarding Tim Wall's military service? Okay, it's a perfect example, Jimmy. I'm glad you brought that up. Because the things people see online, they don't know whether he lied about serving overseas or there are questions about the timing of his retiring from National Guard. And that's exactly what the Russians want. This whole thing has Russia's fingerprints all over it.

And the fact of the matter is that Tim has cleared all this up by saying he misspoke in the past and has a tendency to speak ungrammatically. Nothing could be clearer than that, Jimmy. Wow, Rush's read seems very impressive.

Oh, Jimmy, Russia's all around us. It is both seen and unseen. In the fabric of American life, Russia binds all living things together. We must need only to look at the sky above and the ground below to see what Russia's wrought. Oh, okay. Well, good luck fighting that, then. It won't be easy, but it will take more than the meddling of a foreign adversary to keep me from another term as nice as present. You?

Well, yeah. Who else, dummy? Well, Kamala Harris replaced you in the election.

Where did you hear that one? The news. Oh, yeah. What news? See, this is exactly what I'm talking about. This is how crazy their disinformation is. Russian fake facts. They're trying to confuse people about who's running. We'll just have to add this little canard to the list. Well, who's Tim Walz then? My running mate. Who's Kamala Harris then?

My vice president. Are you dumb? And Russia really made you dumb. Sir, you're not running for president. Maybe you just forgot. Wait a minute. Are you Russia? Are you a Russia? Of course you are. That makes all the sense in the world. Well, guess what, Ivan? All this stuff I've told you over the years may or may not be true. And even better, I don't even know if it is or not.

My dementia has given you its own disinformation campaign. So take that. This old cloak and dagger game may not be over. You may have won the battle, but you haven't won the little waking fever dream I'm having right now. End of phone call.

So what this shows you is this marks the end of the shift from the Democratic Party into the party of George Bush and Dick Cheney is now complete.

And it's not they're not afraid that Dick Cheney is now on board with being a Democrat and supporting the Democrats presidential candidate over the Republican. They're bragging about it. This is a this is called Harris wins. This is a Twitter account called Harris wins is breaking. Dick Cheney just announced he will be voting for Kamala Harris. Wow. See, it says, wow, because like us, she she can't believe Dick Cheney is still alive.

I got ready to say the same joke. Oh, really? Yeah. There's over 200 Republicans. It's the whole neocon list that did it. They're all endorsing Harris because she's the war party. Exactly. Because they all agree on the important things. The important thing is to make it look like it's a positive by putting the word wow at the end. So the doctor removed the wrong leg in surgery, but at least I have the bad leg that still needs removing. Wow. Wow.

That's what this is like. And I think it's all, it's important for us to stretch every day. And I'm going to keep this story with me to show my shit lib Hollywood friends just to watch their elaborate circle jerk disallow contortions to explain this one as

Especially after years and years of them using anything Republican as a social cudgel. Now Dick Cheney, easily, easily one of the top two most evil characters in the world over the last 50 years is got to be Dick Cheney. And they're wow.

Isn't that great? Wow. And so he's irredeemable. And the other side, you take the best of the Democrat Party, which would have been like Tulsi and RFK Jr. And they're on Trump's side.

You're seeing an establishment versus anti-establishment. And Trump is not fully anti-establishment. No. Much more so than Kamala. Well, as I explained. He differs on two major things. The Ukraine war, which is huge. There's a half a million people died in that. And he's willing to talk to North Korea. And nobody else is. So that's important to me. And, you know.

given those choices. Trump is the better choice and they're insanely going after him. That's not an endorsement of all the other dumb stuff he did, pulling out of missile defense treaties, all his support for Israel, journeying up the war for Iran, sassing Soleimani. His bullshit rhetoric in Israel, his bullshit rhetoric with Venezuela. Yep. I mean, a lot of horrible things about Donald Trump to oppose, for sure. I

I made a film called Trump's Sinus Ball and Chain, one hour long, just bashing him, the Kushners, that whole clique. And people still call me a Trump supporter. Whenever I'm like, well, I'm glad we got out of TPP and NAFTA and I didn't want to be in the Paris Accords and whatever I agree with. I'm glad we didn't escalate the war in Syria and things like this. I don't want to go to war. If I was like, oh, so you just love Trump. I'm like, man.

I ripped on him before it was cool. I even made a movie about all the corruption. It was funny. All the stuff in that movie, there's plenty of things, criminal things they could indict him for, but they can't because they're guilty of all the same crimes. That's right. That's why it took them so long to impeach him. They had to find a crime that Trump committed that they also weren't guilty of.

So here's very hard for Hillary. Very hard for money laundering. What? So the transformation of the Democratic Party into the party of Bush Cheney is complete. Instead of this shocking Kamala Harris supporters into rethinking exactly what the F is happening. They look at this endorsement as a good thing. They're brainwashed and brain dead Stepford voters.

That that's what this is. I'd argue Bush and Cheney went to the left side because it was Democrats that started the First World War, the Second World War, Vietnam and Korea. They were traditionally the war party. And George Bush and Cheney, that's why they call them neocons, is like they they went over to that side with bigger government, more government spending and more war. Well, here Bernie Sanders was asked about this.

This is, watch this guy. This guy is such a clown. He's going to trigger them. He's such a, what'd you say? Bernie Sanders triggers everybody. He's such a clown. Well, it's because he broke our hearts. We really believed what he said. I did. It's sad because you know he knows better and he still toes the line. That's what's sad. The sad thing is he knows better. So let's watch this. Senator, before I let you go, I do have to ask you about her recent endorsements by Congress.

two people who are not progressives at all. Of course, I'm talking about Dick and Liz Cheney. This week, they said they're gonna support her, they're gonna vote for her. It's worth noting, former Congresswoman Liz Cheney voted with former President Trump more than 90% of the time, was quite critical when President Biden picked her as his running mate. Would you welcome seeing Liz Cheney out on the campaign trail? Well, Kristen, what I think Dick and Liz Cheney are saying is that in this

existential moment in american history it's not just issues cheney and i agree on nothing no issues but what we do i agree with cheney on anything no but i am being blackmailed and threatened with unspeakable tortures by dick cheney so maybe here we go who believe in is that the united states should retain its democratic foundations and it's not just cheney i think there is a

significant number of Republicans and say, well, I may not agree with the vice president on this issue or that issue. But I cannot support somebody who's a pathological liar, somebody who fomented a insurrection to overthrow the election return. So I applaud the Chinese for their courage in defending democracy, obviously on all the issues. We have very different points of view. All right.

Cheney and I agree on nothing, but that's not going to stop me from doing what I'm told. They're going to punch me in the eye again and arrest my wife. You agree on Jan 6th. You agree on that narrative. Yeah, they certainly do. I like how he says that.

He says, we agree on the maintaining democratic foundations. What? And when I said, you mean like rigging their primary, then throwing out the results of that primary anyway, and then disenfranchising 14 million voters and having the presidential nominee installed by party elites and billionaire donors without any votes or any input from the voting public? You mean like those democratic foundations?

Like Cheney supporting Ahmed Chalabi and that clique in Iraq and overrunning that government and stalling one. All the color-coded revolutions. Are those democratic? It's not what Bernie Sanders cannot support. It's the part that he can support that bothers everybody. That's the part. He's got to have an excuse. He's like, well, it's J6. J6 is worse than October 7th and 9-11 combined.

You had J6, it's like, okay, you let them in. These people walking around, they didn't bring weapons. It's not an insurrection. It was a protest. And you contrast that with the mostly peaceful protests where they're setting car lots on fire and some people died and just running in and looting stores openly. That's a riot. This was a protest. And what they did is they physically interrupted protests.

The account went before it got even to Arizona about election discrepancies. They were just not even going to let the public see that. And they didn't. And then they convened in the middle of the night and and Joe Biden became the selected president. There's a guy who's not allowed to question it at all. He went on. He went on Theo Vaughn show and said that he got cheated twice.

and his run for the Democratic nomination. And here he is saying, yeah, but I got to support those people who cheated me without extracting anything from them for my support. Hillary said she got cheated. So did Al Gore. You know, they're like, oh, well, it was rigged, blah, blah, blah. That's right. Trump says it's illegal. That's right. Do that. We've determined this and you have to agree with us. Here's what the same system that constantly lies about everything else.

Here's what Glenn Greenwald said. He said, "Aside from calling Dick Cheney a fascist, racist, war profiteering, war criminal, liberals also claimed he only became vice president because the Supreme Court stole the 2000 election from him. Now they're all proclaiming that Cheney supports Kamala to save American democracy."

The point isn't Democrats are hypocrites. Hypocrisy is too pervasive in politics to bother denouncing it. The point is that Cheney doesn't give a shit about democracy. He supports Kamala because she'll serve his longstanding agenda better than Trump. Yes. That's why. Because Kamala will continue the war in Ukraine against Russia. That's their big issue. Uh,

Trump and Vance are not interested in that war. They want out. That's right. That's what Bobby Kennedy said at the rally, at the Trump rally, and everybody cheered it. Kamala's campaign manager, Sir Max Blumenthal, has enthusiastically welcomed the endorsement of Dick Cheney, stating she deeply respects his courage to put country over party. So the Kamala 24 deeply respects one of the most devious war criminals alive and considers him courageous.

Dick Cheney disseminated fake intelligence linking Saddam Hussein to Al Qaeda, pushed the WMD hoax, ordered the unmasking of Valerie Plame as an undercover CIA officer as retaliation for her husband, Ambassador Joe Wilson exposing the Bush administration's lie.

about Saddam Hussein obtaining enriched uranium from Niger. Chinese machinations were aimed at guaranteeing a U.S. invasion and occupation that wound up leaving a million Iraqis dead, brought ISIS to the region, and maimed or killed tens of thousands of Americans.

The former vice president simultaneously presided over a no-bid $7.5 billion contract in Iraq for Halliburton, where he served as CEO. And he established a secret torture program that yielded worthless intelligence. To this day, he's not only unrepentant about his torture chambers, he's proud of them.

The Kamala campaign wants us to forget Cheney's record. We are supposed to see him as a hawkish but wise elder crossing the aisle for the good of the republic. Well, the reality is Cheney did far more damage to the country and world than Donald Trump has.

It is such a colossal insult that Cheney is able to enjoy his twilight years in a mansion on Maryland's eastern shore, counting his money without ever having faced a trial for any of his titanic crimes. While Trump becomes the first former U.S. president convicted of a felony for concealing a measly payoff.

to a porn actor. Cheney is supporting Kamala for the same reason as Bill Kristol, the McCain family, and an array of Bush-era neocons, because she is an empty vessel for the post-9/11 security state and will joyfully consolidate the Democrats as the party of endless war.

The 1.1 million 160,000 shares of Halliburton stock that Cheney received when he retired are also a likely part of the calculus. I just changed it to actress instead of actor. Okay.

He mentioned Valerie Plain getting ousted. It was worse than that because she worked for Brewster Jennings and Associates, which was a front for the CIA. So her entire team tracking nuclear weapons proliferation also got outed with her. And as far as that was about the lies about the yellow cake uranium from his year, but you know, it didn't stop there. Cheney reiterated the BS from, uh, from the peanut group about Muhammad Asa getting anthrax in Prague. And, uh,

from Iraqis. And yet Iraq didn't have anthrax, neither did Al Qaeda. There was no meeting in Prague. And even though the Israelis said they witnessed the meeting, they lied. But James Woolsey, who was an Epstein client, brought that back. And then it got reported by Gary Schmidt and Fred Barnes, who were working for Robert Kagan and William Crystal in the Project for New American Century. And Cheney was the guy that amplified that. He and Condi Rice

lied connecting Iraq to 9-11 when they had nothing to fucking do with 9-11 and we invaded Iraq and killed nearly a million people well said uh well here's a here's you want to see the reaction of Bobby Kennedy was a democrat his whole life yeah until they cheated him which I told him they would they cheated him and rigged their primary so we had to leave and run as an independent

Because the Democratic Party is so corrupt, the last thing they believe in is real democracy. And the last thing they want is for people to have a say in who's going to be the presidential nominee. It was so bad he had to leave the party. Oh, Kennedy. Robert Kennedy. Kennedy. And again, we don't agree with his policies on Israel and other things. No. Let's be nuanced here and see what he said, what he's getting punished for. Well, here's what he said. Cheney's resuscitation of the Democratic presidential nominee is

He finalizes the hijack of the Party of Peace by warmongering neocons and the military-industrial complex. There is nothing left of the party of JFK and RFK. So he's 100% correct about that. And you can see I agree with it so much I liked it. Yeah. I'll go in and get that one liked too. Yeah, his father and his uncle did oppose those forces. And what happened to them?

They both got killed, I think, if I remember my history correctly. Real Vernacular says, I applaud the Cheneys for their courage in defending democracy that allowed Dick Cheney to murder millions of innocent people with zero accountability. It was from that era where we had Dick Bush and Colin in the top offices saying we got screwed. If you want to know why JFK got killed, go see my pinned tweet.

It's on the very top. That was the motive of what happened to JFK. And man, if that story would break, there never would have been an Iraq war or a Syrian war, any of this stuff. It would have stopped right there in the 60s. Well, I was told, Brian, I was told in a Democratic Party email that I would be receiving some free joy if I support Kamala.

You're just being a big downer. Free joy. It's hard to listen to her talk. She sounds like she's always on the verge of crying or something. And she wants to do this like big sister coffee talk, like to try to be relatable. But she laughs like a hyena. And every time she tries to explain something, it's like listening to a kid doing a book report that didn't read the book.

and they're just sitting there saying the same thing six different ways it's embarrassing and that we have what 300 plus million people in the united states so this is the best they have to offer i swear they kept joe in there because kamala couldn't win a primary even though they knew he was seen out just long enough so he could like hand the baton to her and now they've got the entire machine google and the rest of them pushing this

creature on us. And she's not going to really be the president, just like Joe is not there either. It's Anthony Blinken and the donor class that make all the decisions.

They just have a placeholder there. And this really shows it to you with Biden shaking hands with John Cena. You know, he's out there just, you know, no one's in front of him. He doesn't know where he is. He's been like that for years. We all knew that. That wasn't some surprise in the Trump debate. So who's been running the country? Because you have a vapid, vacant old man who probably has dementia. It doesn't matter what concoction of drugs they put in him. They can't amp him up with enough amphetamines for him to get a few sentences right.

So if he isn't doing it, who is? Who's running the show right now? Because it's not Biden and it's not Harris. They just want a placeholder there to rubber stamp their agendas. And Kamala is one of those. She supports every war on the entire foreign policy, the MIC, the entire apparatus. She will go with it.

They're just there. It's been this way since Grant started. That's why we have lobbyists. They used to meet in the lobbies of hotels with Ulysses Grant. It's been like that since Lincoln messed it up. We have special interests that run democracy and they're able to get away with it because we don't have a free press that can call them out on the corruption. Free speech would fix all these things because free speech holds them accountable. And then when people take bribes,

There's consequences for it. But if there's no accountability, there's no consequences. So it will never end until we do something about this mass media juggernaut. That is why the most important issue, you're not going to win politically or socially until you win in the media. You have to get the media first to fix the other things, which is why shows like this are so important. This is the...

Even though this is on Rumble and can only be on Rumble, it can't even be on YouTube. At least there's somewhere to say this. There wasn't in the past. I think you could probably put it on Substack and X2.

So, Ryan, why do you support Trump? That's my question. I'm a Ron Paul libertarian type. I don't support these wars. I just see it as, look, being realistic, it's Trump or Harris, honestly. And I will hold my nose and support Trump over that, although I'd prefer neither.

Because it's just childish to say, well, I'm just, you know, doesn't matter. It does matter. Like she is a lot worse. And yes, the lesser two evils. Yeah. Lesser. That is better, even though it isn't good. But it's just like something you have to do while you work on the other things. As I just said, you have to work on breaking the media monopoly or you're never going to get a good candidate.

What I, what they're never going to let go of the media. That's what Bill Clinton's job was in 1996 when he did the Telecommunications Act, which took us from 50 giant media companies down to six. And everybody was like, hey, that's going to be anti, the whole point is that you have different voices in the media. You can't just have six companies controlled by a handful of billionaires. That's bad for democracy. And Bill Clinton's response to that was, no, no, there's the internet now. And,

And so that will be the new. But now, of course, they've they've of course, then the government in collusion with the military industrial complex, big pharma and those social media and big tech companies.

They control that too. And so it was in the Twitter files and the Twitter, you know, that applied to meta and the rest of them. And really it started with Lincoln closing down the newspapers. Like when he did that after the war, they, they never recovered because they got such a head start because all the competition was illegal or thrown in jail.

And so from then on, and then you get Grant and it's just been mercantilism ever since where he married corporation and state and they went out West and genocided the American Indians and they kept going West all the way to the Philippines. It's never, it's never been reversed.

And when it started to get that way, you have people like Bill Clinton come in and go, no, no, we're going to monopolize this again. And when the Internet starts to grow, no, no, the three litter spooks get in there and say, you've got to get rid of this person and that person, get rid of her, get rid of him, not allowed to say this. And it is shadow banning, outright banning, amplifying kook stuff. And we all this came out in the Twitter files.

So this is a known thing, and yet nothing's done to correct it. That's why the brand new, new media, you could say with Rumble, X, Substack, X is so-so, but Rumble, Substack for sure, and Telegram, they're going to go after them hard because that's where you actually have free speech because you don't really have it on Twitter, and you definitely don't have it on Meta or YouTube. So why do you think a guy like Peter Thiel...

who everybody said is a big... Did he found Rumble, or is he just a big investor in it?

He was an investor in it, and I think what they wanted to do was like, he was like a DeSantos guy. And he wanted to have his own say, but it's just more like the two wings of the same bird type of thing. And what happened, though, is so Rumble went out trying to grab Webb Liberty's.

of stuff that doesn't matter, stuff that's not political, like the red pill dude or whatever, just things that get eyeballs to grow their company. But those people started getting political and their whole brand rested on the case of, well, we don't ban you like YouTube does because who in the world would go to Rumble if they have a YouTube? There's so many more eyeballs on YouTube. The only people that were on Rumble were the YouTube refugees.

Well, all the, they're, they're refugees from YouTube for a reason. So Rumble ends up gathering all these people. And then because of BitChute and Odyssey behind us options, Rumble can't back off from what they started. If they ban one person, everyone's like, oh, Rumble's the same. And they're all going to leave and they're all going to go to BitChute or Odyssey. So those other companies keep Rumble honest because its entire brand rests on not censoring people.

Now, they do turn the volume down. They will not put people on the front page that don't like stuff like that. I think that's my opinion. But and it is promoted a lot of like infotainment garbage or whatever. That might be the better business model. That's where the money is. They do what they got to do. You used to have to pay to use Rumble way back when I started it. You had to pay them for the privilege to be on Rumble.

Now, Rumble's free. And I think it's the place for now for free speech. But then you see what happens is

States can ban rumble itself like rumble cannot it's been expanded Brazil France It's you can't get it in Russia. You can't get it in Brazil because they just came in and said you got to implement these Policies against free speech and they said how about no we'll just not be in your country So you got a VPN to rumble and it's owned by other people like Chris is good on free speech So teal may have gave it the seed money and they're like, thanks, but we're not doing what you want. So

And it's too late. They've invested so much and so many creators and so much into the platform. They can't turn that around. And so they don't know what to do. So what you'll see is them trying to find some pretext to ban it, just like they want to ban TikTok. Same thing. They didn't control TikTok. So they're like, get rid of it.

I don't think they can get rid of TikTok, but they can kind of strong arm the people who do own TikTok into saying, all right, you need to ban these, these people, these creators. Don't say Palestinians are people too. Don't say these things. Uh, get rid of those because TikTok is pretty bad on censorship. Yeah. They're the worst. People are like, Oh, go over there. I'm like, they're the worst.

They're really bad. Well, no, Facebook's the worst. But then, yeah, TikTok. Well, I'm doing a show called Rumble Time, which I hope becomes popular enough that we could do it in a studio and have a show that looks exactly like a real TV show that competes with Bill Maher because Bill Maher is ripe to be taken down.

And, you know, he's got a lot of neocon talking points. He doesn't even realize that they're neocon talking points. I think Bill Maher's, you know, his heart's in the right place, but he's wrong about so many things. And so we're doing this show Rumble Time. The next one is September 27th.

And it's here. We're doing it out of a theater, Two Roads Theater here in Studio City. We're going to try and make it look nice, but it's not a studio. It's not a TV studio. That costs a lot of money. And so hopefully we can find the funders to put us in a real TV studio. And that's my fingers crossed that we can do that show. Because you're right. The whole edge of Rumble is that you have free speech. And you don't have free speech anywhere else. And no other social media gives you free speech. Rumble does. That's their edge everywhere.

And I'm trying to popularize that for them. So, all right, over to Stephen. Same here. I've been pushing it for many years. Get on Rumble. Get on Rumble. In fact, every show I go on, they know you have to go to Rumble. Yeah. Because Dawson's Dawson, and you can't do that on YouTube. I know. I'm a fan on YouTube. You're not allowed. You can tell the truth to a point, but there's a whole series of things that are just the third rail. You can't touch it.

And the problem is those are the things we have to talk about the most. I mean, if you're not talking about those things, then what does it matter? It's like talking about World War II and not mentioning Germany. How can you do it? Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

Only at your locally owned Big O Tires, the team you trust. Chris Pavlovsky is the CEO of Rumble, right? And he tweeted out Brazil no longer has Rumble. They don't. The second biggest, most populous country in the Western Hemisphere has banned Rumble. And from the media reports, they will no longer have Twitter.

world powers don't want rumble they don't want twitter they don't want telegram they want to control information and our companies do not allow them to there are no other large companies fighting for freedom like we are we put everything on the line for it one ceo is in jail advertisers boycott our companies to try and cut our economic lifeline but they underestimate our support among the people the people keep us alive and keep us going if you want to so then he says

go help out rumble which i'm all for i mean i've always said that once rumble becomes successful enough google will just make them an offer they can't deny and then they'll just take it but um until then uh we have rumble and here's uh uh michael schellenberger and here's what he has to say about all this democrats have for years sought to regulate social media platforms presidential candidate kamala harris

and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz have both repeatedly endorsed the three main censorship tactics used by the Brazilian government. Censorship of election misinformation, deplatforming of political opponents, and three, cross-platform bans so that a person is banned not just from one social media platform, but from all of them or most of them.

Obama stressed that government regulation has to be part of the answer. In his speech, Obama praised the aggressive social media censorship that the European Union is currently pursuing through its Digital Services Act, or DSA. Said Obama, The way I'm going to evaluate any proposal touching on social media and the Internet is whether it strengthens or weakens the prospects for a healthy,

inclusive democracy. It would be difficult to overstate just how radical Obama's proposal is. America's had a standard for evaluating speech since 1789. It's the first amendment to the US Constitution. It is famously unqualified. It says Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech. That sentence is not followed by so long as it does not weaken the prospects for a healthy, inclusive democracy.

It's inconceivable that Obama does not know this. After all, he was the president of a Harvard Law Review. Obama implicitly recognized that what he was proposing may be unconstitutional. The solution? Amend the Constitution. If you think about the U.S. Constitution as software for running a society, really innovative design. It too had some pretty big initial bugs. So we came up with a bunch of patches.

the 13th Amendment, the 14th Amendment, 15th Amendment, 19th Amendment. If Republicans don't go along with it, he implied, then they will have caused the end of democracy. We have a choice right now. Do we allow our democracy to wither or do we make it better?

That's the choice we face. The Harris-Walls administration could put much of the censorship advocacy done by the White House, the DHS and other U.S. government agencies on steroids. You know, Obama's a lot like auto tune because he makes bad notes sound fantastic. He really does. He explains it all in such a matter of fact way. There can't be anything bad in what he's saying. Can there?

No, and that's one of the reasons why all this is going over so well with your kind of traditional cosmopolitan blue-leaning voter who once upon a time was a fervent advocate of the First Amendment. For some reason, this has gone down very smoothly with all those folks. They haven't had an internal struggle about it.

And Michael's absolutely right. Those three pillars that he talks about, these are things that we found in documents early. Like we found a draft of a report by the Aspen Institute

where they had a commission on information disorder that was led by of all people, Katie Couric and Prince Harry. Oh my God. And but in there it had all these different ideas about things that they wanted, right? Like that were going to be necessary going forward for governments around the world, including the United States. One of them was to move the United States more towards the European conception of speech. Michael mentioned that

you know, we don't have a line after Congress shall make no law abridging, right? The French do. In the French Declaration of Rights of Man, there's sort of a balancing line in there. Like it says the right is precious, but as long as it doesn't impinge upon this or that.

We have something that's different from everybody else. And one of the chief goals in the document was to get our version of speech law out of the way. The other thing that he talked about that is very much being employed everywhere is this idea of like cross-platform enforcement. What they really didn't want was for one person to be banned from

say Facebook and go to someplace else where it's safe. They want all the platforms to be operating like a cartel so that if somebody is banned in one place, they're banned in every place. And that is why you see such a, uh,

really heavy-handed propaganda campaign against those very companies that he's that that you mentioned before x uh rumble and um and twitter i'm sorry x rumble and what's what's the third one tick tock right yeah david sachs david sachs mentioned four actually it was those

Because they're not part of the cartel. They're not cooperating. And what they need is for everybody to cooperate. And once they got that, then the whole thing will be locked down.

And here's Keith Ellison, who used to be a progressive hero. He's saying thank you, Brazil, for imposing censorship and giving control back to the establishment, the economic hitmen of the Western Hemisphere. That's what Keith Ellison is doing there. He is not a fighter. That's not a lefty thing to do. That's not a progressive thing to do. That's an authoritarian, fascist thing that Keith Ellison's doing. But me pointing this out will have people calling me a right-winger.

when the exact opposite is true. So if you're on board for censorship of any kind, you're not a left winger. And I don't think left wing, right wing, those terms really make any sense anymore. But you're definitely authoritarian and that's fascist. And that's how fascists and dictators all the hallmark of fascism and dictators is censorship. It's the first thing they do is censor. And you have people who are considered on the left cheering that on.

And that's heartbreaking. Keith, Keith Ellison, when Bernie Sanders lost the election in 2016, but everybody thought he was going to be this ascendant figure in the party for about 10 minutes. Remember Keith Ellison was going to be sort of Bernie's person at the DNC. Um, he was supposed to be the hope of kind of progressive leftism going forward. I interviewed him at that time. you know, he was somebody everybody was excited about. Um,

As this answer to the corporatized, militarized version of the Democratic Party that Hillary Clinton represented. And now look, I have to think that all this is just still it's connected to Donald Trump. They just see that.

they believe somehow, I think, that anything is permitted when it comes to going after Trump or Bolsonaro or Orban or whoever. And so they've turned themselves into authoritarians, I think in some cases without knowing it. But oftentimes I think they do know it. And people will say to me, well, you know,

Elon Musk is in bed with the military industrial complex and the CIA and they use his Starlink for the Ukraine war. And I'm like, yes, yes. And he goes rogue in this one little area of Twitter and they come down on him with a hammer.

That so just like Trump, Trump's an establishment figure. He's a billionaire. Right. He's been he's been a part of the establishment my entire life. He's been on every late night talk show host. He's been on the cover of every magazine. They gave him his own network television show for 10 years. They gave him Emmy nominations. There was no person that was more. Oprah said they should run for office together. Right. So there was no more establishment. Remember that. That's all. Yes.

There was no more establishment figure than Donald Trump until he went rogue and said we shouldn't do those wars in the Middle East. And he thought the president should control the military and the intelligence community. And he was disabused of that idea very quickly. They did Russiagate against him. They impeached him twice. They did the January 6th. They did four different lawfare things against him. And now then they tried to kill him and assassinate him. So.

That just go just step out of line that little bit. And that's what's happening with Elon Musk right now. Elon Musk is all those things. He's in bed with the CIA and the military industrial complex, but he's stepping out of line just a little bit and they got to get him back. He's a he's a little bit of a rogue billionaire and they got to get him back in line. Would you agree with that assessment?

Yeah, absolutely. Look, Elon's a difficult character to figure out, but I think he has... There's a couple things about him that are definitely true. One, he has a strong independent streak in him. He does not like to be told what to do by anybody, and I think that includes the government. And he does have a patriotic sense of...

about him it's maybe a little bit unique but I think he does feel a certain kind of way about the first amendment even if his you know application of free speech is absolutely you know not consistent on on X and I'm an example of that um I do think he believes in that he he doesn't like the way the other platforms were run he didn't like the way Twitter was run before he got there and

So yeah, now he's in there and you saw it. He was a beloved figure who made electric cars

And, you know, there were little gentle satires of him on South Park. And then all of a sudden he buys Twitter and he's Hitler. It took about, you know, eight seconds for that to happen. It was incredible. There were front page stories in The New York Times talking about him as a national security threat. I mean, the stuff's transparent, but it does work with people. If you're for freedom of speech.

If you point out that Donald Trump has a populist appeal to people, that the Democrats no longer represent working people, if you're anti-war, if you're anti-experimental medical treatments being mandated, they call you right wing for those things. And they've done that to me repeatedly. They so want me to be a right winger.

They so want me to endorse Donald Trump, which I have a red... Go ahead. You get that all the time with trolls saying, just admit it. Yes, all the time. All the time. Or they'll call me an Elon Musk bootlicker. Or they'll call... You just got your nose up Trump's ass. They'll say all that stuff. And I'm like... No, I'm just reporting back what I see like...

When I saw Bobby Kennedy give that speech at that Trump rally and people said, oh, now you're endorsing Trump. No, what I'm doing is I'm pointing out that Bobby Kennedy is giving a speech that highlights traditional lefty Democrat values. Right. Ending the war in Ukraine.

He's talking about cleaning up the food and the water supply. He's talking about fighting big agra. He's talking about cleaning up our captured regulatory agencies. You never hear that from the Democrats anymore. Those are all lefty things. He's talking about fighting big pharma. He's doing that at a Trump rally, and the people, a stadium full of people were cheering. So it doesn't matter if you think Trump is serious about any of those things. What's important is

And what the media and the establishment doesn't want you to see or know is that there was a stadium full of Republican voters who were cheering on those exact things that I had just come from Chicago. I was at the Democratic Convention. They would never mention any. In fact, they were talking about more war.

They were talking about more corruption and they were cheering it on. And it broke my heart because the last time I was at a Democratic convention, half the people there wanted to overthrow the Democratic establishment. By the way, where do you think all those people went?

Well, isn't that a mystery? I mean, that's one of the big mysteries for me is where did they all go? Half the party. Yeah. I mean, it was Bernie supporters, but also what about these people who gave to the ACLU for decade after decade from the 60s through the 70s, 80s and 90s, through the Skokie, Illinois case?

These were all people who said openly, "I really believe in the Voltaire thing. I don't agree with you, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it." That was the mantra of so many people who I knew and worked with, and they've all changed. They've now moved over to this new thing where the only thing that matters is beating Donald Trump.

The thing that's frustrating about that is that what that itself is a media construction because the issue isn't Donald Trump. It's Donald Trump supporters who were there before Trump was. And those people, they started to become a political force because there was already this groundswell of this discontent and anger out there in the country. And so when you say, you know, we have to defeat Donald Trump, what you're really saying is we have to somehow, uh,

no longer listen to people who are pissed off and upset about the direction of this country, which is, I think, totally illegitimate. That, too, I think, is counter to the way lefties used to think. And that'll get you, just for making that observation, we'll get you called a right-wing Trump supporter. ♪

Hey, come see us on tour. We're going to be in Duluth, Georgia, outside of Atlanta, Jacksonville, Florida, Tempe, Arizona, and Burbank, California. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. So just speaking of...

The establishment media being in the tank for the Democrats. So here is the establishment media and the intelligence community, the deep state being in the tank for the Democrats. Right. It says Hunter Biden story is Russian disinformation. Dozens of former intel officials say. And I'm just surprising how accurate Russian disinformation actually is, isn't it? That's kind of amazing. Right.

That was the New York Times. Yeah. And that article may not be from the Times, but the Times called it Russian disinformation. They all did that. This one happens to be from Politico. But this happened yesterday. Politico put out this. This is a tweet from Politico. It says, they quote J.D. Vance saying, our corrupt leadership, Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during Michigan rally.

Well, that is so garbage that it got community noted on Twitter. I don't know if you know what that is, but that's something that Elon Musk has instituted that readers, if enough of them...

try to correct something, it'll show up. And so readers added context. Kamala Harris is currently serving as vice president of the United States for the Biden-Harris administration, a role she was sworn into on January 20th, 2021. And Politico tries to make it look like he's trying to connect her to Biden. She's the vice president. Right, right. Is it just that they're just that sloppy now? No, they're desperate. Desperate. I think they're desperate.

Why do you... If Trump becomes president, it's good for them. They sell more newspapers. CNN gets ratings again. Why do you think they would be so much in the tank for the... Is it because they're owned by the same billionaires who own the political process? Yeah, it's because the billionaire class... Well, the billionaire class is kind of split, but the billionaire class that dominates the media doesn't want Trump. I mean, these people dance. Remember that...

So when I began in the newspaper business, 40% of ad revenue came from classified ads. Then you got Craigslist. It's over. So that's almost 50%. Then once all the algorithms came in place, you didn't need newsprint to connect sellers with buyers. They had a monopoly. When I worked for the New York Times, they were making 23% profit. I mean it was staggering amounts of money. That's all gone.

And so they're so desperate now because of their bleeding advertisers that they cater more and more to whatever those advertisers want. They never covered Steve Donziger. You know this case. I think you reported it because they set up – the New York Times set up its own advertising agency. It's called T something. I don't remember the name. And their biggest client is Chevron. Oh, you can't even –

Yeah. So actually, I actually wrote Dean McKay when he was – we were hired together. I said, come on, Dean. You got to cover Donziger. And I said, even if you're – and he wrote this indignant email back. But they never covered it. They never – and this – we won't go into the whole history. They disbarred this guy because he won for these poor Ecuadoran peasants.

whose lands have been poisoned by Chevron and mobile. Yeah, I mean, it was just awful. Put them under house arrest. Yes. The New York court system turned it over to... I mean, you just can't make this stuff up. A Chevron-appointed attorney. I mean, it's just amazing. Anyway...

I wrote a lot about it and I love Steve, but there you go. They never covered it. Read the way they covered all the student protests of Columbia and everything else. They would find like, you know, the four Zionist students somewhere because half of those protests were they were Jewish students, you know, and it was like, I feel threatened. I don't feel this. And they just the whole thing. And meanwhile, I was at the Princeton conference.

University in Camden. I was at the Columbia University. They were holding like the whole Muslim prayers and Shabbat services on the same was quite moving, actually. I mean, these people were totally inclusive.

But the Times coverage was just horrendous, horrendous and their Israel coverage on Gaza has been horrendous and embarrassing. But what it is is that as the advertising dollars have shrunk, they've constricted. So as I said before, there once was a place for a reporter like me at the Times. Now there isn't anymore because they're so frightened and it's all commercial.

It's all, and they have to cater to those advertisers they have left. Like Big Pharma. Big Pharma. Big Pharma is huge. And that's exactly right. Well, if people don't know, Steve Zonginger, Donziger, so he sued on behalf of them polluting

Yeah, the Chevron. Right. And then they will. He won. He won. Yeah. Well, that's what pissed him off. Nine billion dollars. And then they don't want to pay. Chevron could not get out of Ecuador fast enough. Yeah. And then they spent millions and millions of dollars to destroy him personally.

And he finally, they finally found this corrupt judge. And the corrupt judge put the guy, the lawyer who won the case on house arrest and... And despard him. And despard him and all the horrible things happened to him. We've had him on the show. We've reported his story. Yeah, he's a wonderful guy. And he's a wonderful guy. And then when they...

when they convicted trump in new york they had to repeal the statue of limitations law just so they could sue sue donald trump uh they got that same lawyer to uh take care of that case uh it's it's a crazy story hey this is jimmy who's this what's up jimmy it's vince vaughn double v how are you

I'm doing fantastic, J.D. I got a whole new Hollywood show business news thing ready to go if you're up for it. Yeah, you know I am, Vince. Okay, I'll keep it quick because I don't have a lot of time. Not that I don't make time for you when I can, but sometimes time itself cannot be conjured in this fashion. So I'll just shoot out some one-word topics and we'll start. How does that sound to you, Captain of the Ship Jimmy D? Sounds aces, Vince. Okay, here we go. First up, Night Bitch. Excuse me?

You heard me, Night Bitch. Bitch, you can't just call up and say foul things. Well, okay, first of all, yes I can, and I have and I will again. However, Night Bitch is the name of an upcoming American film starring Amy Adams. No. Where she plays a housewife who thinks she turns into a dog at night. No. Yes, the trailer was just released and people are going bananas for Night Bitch. That's the name of a movie for real?

Yes, Night Bitch. Jimmy, the movie is called Night Bitch. Night Bitch. Okay, I get it. Do you? Do you really, Jimmy?

Do you really get it that there is a movie coming out where Amy Adams turns into a dog at night and that movie is called Night Bitch? Because it took me a minute to process that. Either way, I think we can agree this is a great excuse for Vince Vaughn to say Night Bitch.

repeatedly, night bitch, and talk about the movie Night Bitch, all the while frequently saying night bitch. Yes, it's agreed. This is certainly the best possible scenario to have Vince Vaughn repeatedly saying night bitch. Moving on, next topic. You got it. Queer. Vince, come on.

Is the name of another movie that just premiered at the Venice Film Festival. No way. Yeah. Set in Mexico City in the 1950s, Daniel Craig, the guy who just played James Bond for 15 years, plays a closeted gay man living as a heroine using expatriate. No. And the film makes shock waves with its explicit depiction of gay sex. Wow. Wow.

You know, actors who have played James Bond often take extreme measures to distance themselves from the Bond role once they're done. But I have to say, explicit gay sex might take the cake in that particular endeavor.

Hey, Daniel, you really want people to stop thinking of you as James Bond? Like, for real, forever? I got an idea. Holy shit, and I thought Zardoz was a wacky movie. Oh, wow. Uh-huh. You know, you could even do a double feature there. Queer night, bitch. Okay, what else you got, Vince? The Apprentice Kickstarter.

Obviously.

The filmmakers also have begun a Kickstarter campaign for a movie story completed to help the movie. Because you know that thing where successful movies that go to festivals and get distribution and are obviously going to do well at the box office always have Kickstarter campaigns to help them out? That common thing. Yeah, that always happens.

Always. Something tells me this movie is going to do great and everyone's going to see it and be talking about it and it's going to ensure a landslide victory for Kamala Harris. Next topic. This has got to be the last one, Vince. Okay, that's fine because this is a major topic. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks?

Yes, Tom Hanks, America's male sweetheart, had to come out publicly to state that AI versions of his likeness had been generated to make ads for a medical product that he did not endorse. That was not him. And similarly, Vince Vaughn would like to say publicly that an AI likeness of me was used in Fred Claus. I was not in that movie. Really?

Nope. And then several public statements that I've made over the years and also some private recordings, also AI, all of them. I perceive perhaps several future film roles of mine that may or may not be AI also. Jimmy, I'm sure you've said some AI things in the past yourself. Not that I know of, but now that you think about it, yeah, sure. Yeah. Yeah. There are some AI generated things out there that aren't actually me.

See? AI is a tricky little bitch that sometimes makes good guys like you and me look like real scumbags. You never know if what you're seeing is real because of AI. Just remember that. If you see a video of me doing or saying something that would get someone canceled, just remember that. Okay, Vince. Will do, but I gotta go. Okay, you know what? You guys all have a great evening. You have a great show, baby, okay? Night, bitch!
