Hey, come see us doing a live stand-up show in Bloomington, Illinois, Indianapolis, Levittown, New York, Red Bank, New Jersey, Wilmington, Delaware, Covina, California, Burbank, California, Oxnard, California, Venice, California, and Palmdale, California. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

Yeah.

So you let the whole world see you luxuriating on the ocean while the Middle East is in chaos. I mean, it's just Delaware for Christ's sake. I don't know what to get worked up about. And so what? I don't get to take vacations. You and Steph go on trips sometimes. Yeah, but I'm not the president of the United States.

And don't you forget it, Sergeant Pepper. All right. Moving on. When we were there, Jill and I went to this fancy new breakfast place. It's just called Egg. I've been there. That's when you know it's going to be fucking expensive. It has a name like that. It's just one word. Everything they serve a lot of. And boy, was I right. Okay. All right, Mr. President.

I got pancakes. Fuck them. Mr. President, I want to ask you about a confusing statement you made the other day where you appeared to call for an Israel Hamas ceasefire, but then immediately walked it back. Oh, yeah.

Well, when you see me do that, it usually means the little chip they implanted in my skull zapped me. That's when I know I said a no-no. I see. Good to know. When he says, I'm going to get in trouble, that's what that means? Yes. Yeah. I know what's going on.

Yeah, initially I said we wanted a ceasefire, like any non-maniac would say in this situation. But then I was reminded I needed to clarify that only after all the hostages are released. It seems to me a ceasefire would be agreed to in order to secure the release of those same hostages. That would be the point of a ceasefire, right? Also, the hostages are in the very place that is being bombed.

All right, settle down, Johnny Makinsense. This is a very complicated situation. Don't give me that.

Ah, damn, that usually works. Anyway, there are a lot of things to consider, a lot of moving parts. We're playing 2D chess over here. That's just regular chess, Mr. President. Well, that's still hard, isn't it? Isn't that a game that's famous for being hard? What?

The point is, I cannot be seen to appear to waver in my support of Israel one iota. For one thing, we have 2024 to consider. Is that so? Well, I'll tell you the Palestinian... I'll tell the Palestinian children that, and I bet it'll make them feel better. All right. Jimmy, I don't know if you've seen the latest polls, but Trump and I are polling neck and neck. Wrinkly, sagging neck and wrinkly, sagging neck.

Both at 37%. Right. But now you got Robert fucking Kennedy Jr. running third party. But they think he's actually drawn off mainly Trump voters. So that works for me. But he's super pro-Israel. And if I appear to be less super pro-Israel than him, you'll get my super pro-Israel supporters to see. Glad to see this is your concern at this moment.

It's one of them. But another concern is Israeli lives and hostages, which is why I need to stand back and provide support to Israel and allow them to do whatever psycho shit they feel like. And the American people are with me. Are they? Have you seen the pro-Palestinian protests worldwide and here in the United States? I assure you the young people are not with you.

Yeah, I'm a step ahead of you, wise guy. This election cycle, we are counting on the young people to be so disillusioned with another Trump versus Biden election that they stay home on election day. So problem solved. How incredibly cynical. Doesn't it bother you that your policies have abandoned the progressive youth of this country who otherwise would serve as the base of the Democratic Party?

Of course I do, Jimmy. I... Ow! I mean, no, it does not. Sorry, I got zapped again. These young people are just going to have to accept misfortunes until they support Israel. No home ownership for you until you put an Israeli flag up on Facebook, you papered, purple-haired ingrates. Wow, so...

So glad that you're so firmly under the control of a foreign government. Jimmy, Jimmy, I want to talk about that restaurant again. No, why? Because I'm more than 80 years old. That's exactly what I should be doing. Talking about things I ate. Restaurants I went to. Complaining. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

Jill ordered lobster Benedict. Can you believe that? That they have such a thing? Look at all these Benedicts nowadays. The original needs no improvement. Okay, I love the fact that this is the man in charge right now.

And seafood as breakfast food, I can't with that. I can't handle it. Maybe crab, but lobster? What are you, a Habsburg? I couldn't watch her eat it, man. You know, I kind of agree with that one. But we've got to go, Mr. President.

All right, Jimmy. And don't worry. I want to end this conflict swiftly. Ow! I mean, Mr. Netanyahu has informed me that this will be a long war. I can't wait till they take this fucking thing out of there.

medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on it's the jimmy tor show kim iverson did a great segment on this and i wanted to check so there's all the people who are free speech advocates kurt

You know, the right wing free speech warriors like Ben Shapiro. Oh, my God. That includes speech you don't like. You got it. You got it. I don't care about your feelings. I believe the great Ben Shapiro said facts don't care about your feelings and free speech, free speech.

And so she put out and so she she did a great segment on this. I'm I'm using her. She found these tweets. I found one more. But here's Ben Shapiro. If you work in the media and uncritically and reflexively parrot the genocidal Jew hating terrorist liars, Hamas, you should be fired.

So that's Ben Shapiro apparently saying you shouldn't have free speech, and if you do use it, you should lose your job. You should be canceled. Well, facts do care about his feelings. Facts do care about his feelings. Obviously, facts.

care about the feelings. Isn't it funny to watch? It's like everybody has their own special thing that shows them to be just exactly like the people they claim to hate. Ben Shapiro claims they hate those liberal snowflakes who can't take freedom of speech and hearing ideas that they don't like until it's an idea he doesn't like and then he wants you fired from your job. Well, that's different. It's hate speech. Well,

Isn't that, this is amazing to me. Well, I'll tell you what's amazing is back when it started up with the, you know, you should get fired for saying whatever it is I don't like retroactively. And I went, well, you guys sure acting like crazy far right wingers. I remember from, you know, like back when Harry Potter was being burned by crazy Baptist kind of people out here. All these churches were like, it's witchcraft. They're burning Harry Potter.

And then all of a sudden, seven years later, I'm watching transactive left-wing activist, Bert Harry Potter for the same. And I was like, boy, we have come full circle. Wow. Anyway, I would constantly point out in the beginning, especially with the comedy, you

You guys sound like right wingers. Like, no, we don't. Then I noticed a thing of, hey, I thought you guys said you like free speech. No, I wasn't a right winger. I said, you're being like a right winger. They tried to turn around on you. I guess you guys don't like it. The whole time I've been saying they all hate free speech. Nobody has been switching back and forth except these assholes. Here's a friend of the show, Dave Rubin.

So so France banned pro-Palestinian protests. That seems to me very anti free speech. Are you telling me Dave Rubin is somewhat insincere in his. You mean to tell me that Dave Rubin stand up respected stand up comedian from New York that I never heard of until maybe a couple of years ago. Dave Rubin bring your show comedian Dave Rubin.

There's no need to denigrate his comedy. I resent that he's like, oh, he's a Sam Coffin. No, he ain't. Did he do the Dan 9 in circuit? Dave Rubin makes me laugh. Well, this is pretty funny.

Especially in person, he's very funny. But here he is seemingly going against... We should bring Dave on. Maybe the West has a chance, Dave. Now that's... Okay, if he's not stupid and he is funny, then he knows that that's the most insincere...

clearly to curry faith as if he's running for office. Well, it seems contradictory, so we should bring Dave on. It's like everybody's running for office in their regular life. Oh, I have a show. I'm going to have to pander to a certain group as if I need them to fund me to run for president like I'm RFK. That's what he's doing right there. Or he's dumb, because that's crazy what he said. So banning protests...

He seems to be endorsing. That seems to be contradictory. That's all. Dave has offered to come on the show and talk about this, so I think we will bring him up. Okay. You know why France has all these Palestinians, by the way, and Arabs? Because as Dan Cohen told us, the way it works in Gaza is, it's not that you can't leave Gaza. You just got to get the hell out of the area.

So that's where all these Arab immigrants have poured into the EU, many of them. They're from that area and didn't want to die or live in the prison camp that is Gaza. And Israel supposedly will pay you to leave for good because they want that land. Oh, yeah. So guess what? Hey, why are all these people swarming into France? Well, because Israel doesn't want them in Israel. Oh.

Oh, OK. That's what Dan Cohen said. Yeah. Well, what he said is they'll pay him to to actually emigrate the hell out. But America don't take them. You take some, though, like France. That's why they had so many, you know, all the discontents of places we bombed to let them get kicked out of their home. They they've been immigrating into Europe.

and they got the same kind of feelings Miami Cubans got. - I just can't believe these people who consider themselves free speech warriors and for years have decried the liberal lefty snowflakes who tried to ban speech on campus, on college campuses, which I'm also against. I'm with them on that. - Yeah, no, yeah. - I'm a free speech absolutist. - That's right. - I can't believe now that once it's speech that they don't like, they want it banned.

It's where's your money come from? Got it? All these people got to pander to... You know how you'll report on stuff and the audience does not want to even hear? Yeah. And they don't like your... That's right. And they're mad at you. Like when I told people that Bernie was selling you out over the CARES Act, that Bernie was selling you out for Joe Biden, or Bernie was selling you out for you... My fans used to be all Bernie supporters. They were... And I lost a lot of those people over that. And who gives a rat's ass... And I was just like, well, what do you want me to do? Lie to you? I'm not going to do that. But there's lots of people...

who will, on a dime, completely go against everything that they've been claiming is their value. Free speech, like Ben Shapiro. Completely, he couldn't ever since I first heard that. I don't care about your feelings. It's absolutely ridiculous. The first thing I ever heard about him was decrying people trying to ban right-wing speech. You should absolutely be fired. And I was thinking you should absolutely be fired. You should absolutely be fired. Okay, it's simple. It's just that simple. You should absolutely be fired. You should lose your job. Absolutely.

And now here, Laura Loomer, right? Who now, who is, I always hear her as like a person I should hate. No, I don't care about her. I don't, I've always heard that she, but, but she's been, I think she was good on certain things too. I think she might've been good on Ukraine. Maybe she's good on COVID.

It sounds like you can't be loyal to the right or the left because then you're going to forget about your principles and you're going to have to be part of a goddamn football team. I don't think there is a right or left in America. I think there's Republicans and Democrats and that is not the right and left. And then there's rich people, poor people. That's your parties. Because I've had people say to me...

uh they they'll like come up they go oh that that that uh so my crowd used to be all bernie sanders people when i would do live shows yeah and now it's mixed there's there's people who um vote republican and democrat and uh on a very very uh hopefully less and less of those and lots more independents but people who consider themselves uh conservatives

and progressives. So anyway, people say, "Oh, your audience is getting to be right wing." And I'm like, "You mean people who are for bodily autonomy? Is that right wing? 'Cause that's my body, my choice used to always be considered lefty. You mean people who are anti-war and pro-peace?

that's a right-wing position now. People who are for freedom of speech, that's now a right-wing position. So this idea that there's right and left, it's just Republican Democrats is what they're talking about because those things are all traditional left-wing values. Being for bodily autonomy, my body, my choice, being anti-war, pro-peace, and being for free speech, absolute. Those are all lefty values. And now if you're for that, they call you a right-winger.

Yeah, it's an insult. It's like being on the-

You you that is to me, I'm against that. I think you got to allow people to wait. She's saying so now. So now she's saying, as many of you know, America is the only country with a First Amendment, but it's not the case in other countries, which she sounds to be happy about, especially not in Denmark, where Dr. Lupus is a practicing physician. I suspect she will be losing reputation.

Her medical license soon, and even if you take this away, the fact that she is using her position as a medical doctor to make fake medical diagnoses of Jews online to smear them as mentally ill is a violation of the Hippocratic Oath. You cannot falsely diagnose someone online in an effort to smear them. She needs to be reported for...

Are you kidding? No, I'm not kidding. She needs to be reported for abusing her medical license. Her behavior is dangerous and highly illegal as a medical professional. That's unreal. That's unreal. So now all these people who claim to love the First Amendment and love to be free speech absolutists now want people to be fired from their jobs and lose their ability to practice medicine and be disbarred.

So now they're the cancel culture. So the pro-Israel faction in this has now turned into the thing they claim to hate, which is the snowflakes who want to cancel people for saying things they don't like. Saying things, words that they don't like.

Now they've turned into the thing they claim to hate. And there's no denying that that's what's going on. You can't deny that. By the way, Jimmy, if let's say you tweeted something reprehensible, like I stand with Hamas, you didn't really stand with them. You tweeted a thing, really not the same thing. That's right. So they've made up this thing that you actually stand with someone by running your mouth. This is the right wing equivalent of that dippy Hollywood actor signed to Joe Biden petition. The,

The thing you'd make fun of dumb Democrats about, this is the version of that. You go on Twitter and go, I think they should lose that. I had no idea. What did this woman say? She said that they're psychopaths or people she's watching. So I'm guessing. I don't know exactly what she's referring to, but it sounds like she's referring to someone who's a doctor who was saying or calling people psychopaths possibly. Again, this is speculation. But no matter what it is, and...

That's going against what they used to believe and decried other people for doing. And here's one more. Now, Megyn Kelly, this now I don't think this this might not fall into the same category. So you tell me what you think. So here's people protesting. I think this is at Harvard. She says, look at these disgusting terrorist sympathizers.

Now, is she psychologically diagnosing them? Maybe she should be canceled. I don't think disgusting is a psychological diagnosis, though. She calls them terrorist sympathizers. I don't even think that is. They're stochastic terrorists, is what I would go with. They're stochastic. The aggressors here from Harvard Law, on the Law Review, no less, and Harvard Divinity. Who would hire these lunatics? Well, that's definitely calling them psychological...

Israel Harvard Business School student accosted and harassed amid Gaza die-in on campus. This is how violent what they're doing. So she's not saying that they should be canceled. So I don't think she deserves. No, she is. She goes, who would hire them? She said, who would hire them? She's not saying they should be fired. So that's not the, I don't think she should be included in this. So I'll give Megyn Kelly a pass for this. I won't give her a pass. I think she's suggesting that they, which is another one of those, they should never work again.

And also, she's a scumbag too. Anybody out there that's mad, this is the most nothing. Nothing protest. In fact, I can't say it's a nothing protest because people are going, they shouldn't get to work again. That's right. So I would normally be like, whatever. But these people are freaking out. And guess what? That makes it not a nothing protest. Now they're making a big point by doing that. So now here's, now Rebel News Canada, which did great job. They did great work covering the trucker protests.

They did other great jobs covering the WF and the Davos and all that stuff. And now, and they're, again, they're also free speech people, but not now. So now Rebel News Canada says petition, fire JAMA.

Ontario NDP MPP Sarah Jama has accused Israel of apartheid for defending itself against Hamas's wave of brutal terrorism that targeted innocent women and children, and they want to fire her for that. And that's, by the way, that's not why she accused it of apartheid.

It was accused of that long before. Well, every human rights organization in the world has accused Israel of being an apartheid state. So should they all lose their jobs at the human rights organizations? Yes. I guess according to Rebel News, they should. That's too bad to see Rebel News do that. I guess they don't rebel that hard. They don't rebel Gaza hard, do they?

I just where's the consistency? That's all I'm asking for. And I'm just saying it's funny to watch these people turn into the thing that they claim to hate, which was the liberal lefty snowflakes who were against free speech on college campuses and didn't and wanted to censor and silence right wing speech. And when they wanted to do that, you know, the facts don't care about your feelings.

But now they really have feelings about this. I think the wealthy donors of all these people are not worried about their consistency. They're worried about their adherence to not step on the thing that Papa Moneybags likes. So here's one. Here's this guy named Kurt Schlitzer. So this is from January 31st, 2021. He says, absolute free speech, no compromise. I'm with you, Kurt.

And then he says, I was against canceling students, but students decided canceling was a thing. So now I feel that it needs to be inserted in their collective rectum and they need to suffer. You know, so that's what he's saying now. So that's quite a shift. So you became the thing you hated and all it took was this. Yeah. So again, uh,

John Stewart once said, he made a great point, I'm not a fan of John Stewart, but he did make a great point once when he said, you have to follow your values when it's tough to follow your values. If you don't, then they're not values, they're just hobbies.

And that's what this guy's reverence for free speech is a hobby. He doesn't really believe in it because now his feelings are hurt and he wants someone else to pay. Yeah. By the way, he's not going to look into the actual conflict at all. No. My feelings, by the way, I know nothing about it on purpose. I purposely only look at the part I want of that thing because I have a personal because I have a dog in this fight.

So instead of that, which my grief about what happened, I might go, oh, I see it's a bigger thing than maybe I thought it was. I'm not doing that. What I'm going to do is take it out on these other people. I just love like this is the thing. So now he was against canceling, but now he's for canceling. And all it took was for his feelings to get hurt. That's Israeli over him. That's amazing. That's on him. And so I, you know, and, uh,

This is the thing that I had the political falling out with Dave Rubin over. It was over Israel bombing in 2014, Gaza. And so I didn't have a personal falling out with them. We're still friendly. But I have a – I was like, wow, I can't cotton to that. That's not a legitimate – you can't be okay with bombing schools and churches. That can't be okay. And by the way, those bombs don't – Hamas has tunnels way deeper in

So you're not actually bombing Hamas. How about David? You notice they don't want the hostages returned? They don't want the hostages returned. Everybody I watch on TV, I watch them on Breaking Boys. They're like, I don't know what Israel's endgame here is. You don't? You don't? You don't know what it is? I think I figured it out. That's what they said on Breaking Points? Yeah. What is Israel doing over here? Well, think real hard. Sagar, you were in a think tank. Go to your think tank. You're trying to think what they might be doing.

That they said they don't know what the end game is? They really said that? Yeah, and I'll bet you when you're getting paid not to know shit, it's real easy. They're getting paid not to know shit. Dave's getting paid not... Listen, I befriend all kinds of people. It's all kinds of dumb shit, okay? I don't befriend them over it. I don't befriend people over political disagreements. But it's like, who are you kidding? Number one, you're making God's money. Don't ever forget that. And that's why you're doing this, because you know...

Ryan Long's awesome sketch. Yeah, I'm sure some young, stupid, woke actor doesn't know what side to pick, but all these people know which side to pick because that gets keep their funding coming in. All of them.

I'm going to show you a story, and it's the Israeli army.

Not wanting Hamas to release more prisoners or hostages, Israeli hostages right now, because they're afraid they're afraid it's going to deter. It's going to delay the ground invasion. I'm not kidding. So let's watch this story. The IDF believes it's ready for a Gaza ground offensive and that it should start soon.

What's the problem? Well, regarding the 222 confirmed hostages held by Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip, the military has been preparing for the possibility of rescue operations amid the ground offensive, according to information seen by the Times of Israel. The army, and here it is,

The army is concerned that further hostage release by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground incursion or even halt it midway. Oh, no.

Oh, my God. I'd hate to delay our Dresden-style firebombing just to save a couple hundred of our own citizens. 220. I mean, the longer we wait, the more people are going to question starving and bombing huge numbers of civilians. Yeah, that's true.

The army is concerned that further hostage release by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay their ground incursion or even halt it midway. And we need to stick with the things that are important here, and that is war and death. Don't let yourself be distracted by sensible solutions, people. Stay on course. Like you were a bomb dropped from an airplane headed straight down on somebody's roof. No way to stop you now.

Israel cannot afford to lose Hamas any more than the Democrats can afford to lose Donald Trump. Do you know how hard it is to find a good boogeyman these days, Kurt? Someone to blame for everything? They don't make them like Saddam no more. No. Those kind of boogeymen are worth their weight in gold. And by the way, it would be your gold that they are spending.

- Well, I'd be happy to for a great boogeyman like Saddam Hussein, I'll tell you what, they don't make it. You ain't gonna see one like, he's a real one. - Some of us are old enough to remember, I don't think you are, Kurt, but some of us only remember when they withheld hostages release from Jimmy Carter so he wouldn't get reelected. Do you remember this? - I do remember hearing about it, and I remember being like, so what, that was a long time ago. That's how I felt about it. - Hostages are very valuable to your government.

So on Friday night, Hamas released an American mother and daughter. According to some reports, this contributed to a postponement of the ground offensive in light of hopes that more could be free. Just give up hope. We got to get this done. So here's Max Blumenthal. He says, the Israeli army doesn't want hostages released now. Just let that sink in. Well, I think Israel needs a new PR firm. Yeah.

uh anyway uh i thank god i do i thank god there's a state of israel to guarantee the safety of the jewish people it just makes more sense the more you hear about all the safety they enjoy thanks to the government of israel how can we maintain the safety of the people of israel if we don't carpet bomb captured hostages from israel here's what's sinking in kurt if israel would do that to their own people

What do you think they do to people they hate? Treat them fairly and then these unprovoked attacks happen. So get this, they release this. So this is a lady, Hamas said it offered to free two hostages for humanitarian reasons. Israel accused Hamas of mendacious propaganda. You know that guy? I think he's from Argentina. Hamas has released them. As one left, she shook the fighter's hand and said, peace. Wow. Wow.

Wow. I got to say, they do need a... But the reason why this won't really have an effect is because I'm pretty sure they're never going to let that get out in Israel, right? Yeah. I mean, if the media reported it... So, by the way, the greatest Hasbara disaster for Israel in history. Do you know what Hasbara is? It's an Israeli term for the country's attempts to justify the actions, their actions. Oh, I thought it was the companies to make transformers. It's...

That's Hasbro. Oh, Hasbro. Yeah. Okay. So that's, but wow. Okay. Did I already do this? Israelis are going ballistic over this photo of Israeli elderly women, woman being freed by Hamas, shaking his hand. Wow. Is her family mad at her? Hang on. I have it. I think I have a joke for you. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Here it is.

I guess that elderly, freed Israeli woman is a self-hating Jew. I mean, how else do you explain that? I guess it's kind of like Stockholm Syndrome, except the reason you identify with your captors is because your own government would rather kill you than not carpet bomb Gaza. I'm going to go ahead and verify this as the first case of Gaza Syndrome. She's identifying with a captor's bomber.

God. But the term self-hating Jew, that applies to every Jewish person I've ever met in L.A. You know, the rhinoplasty industry is very big here. I don't know if you know that, Jimmy. So they're going ballistic over a picture of this Israeli Jewish lady being freed and shaking hands with her captors. And you know, when his

When the Israelis go ballistic, they actually use guided weapons. We should know we paid for them and we made them. So here's what the photo alone doesn't show, which the video did is that she reached back to initiate the handshake as they were moving her away. I took note of it as well as a remarkable scene that would undoubtedly make waves. Yeah, it.

If the media reported it, it would make waves. But Israel was reluctant to accept these hostages, desperate to prevent these encouraging scenes from taking form, and has rejected the release of 50 more captives in exchange for fuel to keep hospital incubators online. Wait, are we in October? Yes. We are. So this is another October surprise. I guess so.

Wow, every October? What is this? Is that true? I mean, that's according to Max. It's hard to believe. It's hard to believe that that could be true, that Israel rejected the release of 50 more prisoners in exchange for fuel to keep hospital incubators online.

um well i would say if if times of israel reported that um like i said a lot of israelis seem to know more about what their government's doing than here you know like here are people i know don't know i mean they don't know anything they know if like they don't know anything which is the woke side to be on yeah like right doesn't even apply to this that that coalition's dead and uh

Israel news is where I learned about Netanyahu getting warned, about him funding Hamas. So a bunch of relatives that live in Israel, I got to believe, are upset about the idea of not getting their family members back. This isn't about Judaism, Kurt. This isn't about Islam. This is just about moral psychosis.

I mean, is it possible for the leadership of any country to go insane and then turn evil? I mean, even our leadership? I mean, I can't relate to that. I don't understand what I'm doing. I mean, that's how we got this great nation, I believe, in a similar operation. I believe we used the same book of the Jewish people to justify what we did. I believe you're correct. We took theirs. Max Blumenthal says, Israel was reluctant to accept these sides. Oh, we already did this.

Oh, here's the, uh, here's a little bit of video. Hamas published this video, uh, showing the moment of the release of two female hostages, Dorit Cooper and Yakovid Lifshitz. They are seen sharing tea and cookies with Hamas fighters before saying goodbye to them. This is probably AI. Probably not real. So all I know is that CNN says that those women went through hell.

Well, the hell of cookies and tea and medical attention. Oh, I thought you meant the hell of their own government was deciding whether to blow them up before they could come home. Wow. That's the same scene. Wow. Uh, Jay, those tweets were,

What the Israeli hostage said about Hamas captivity? Here's what the Israeli hostage said about their captivity in Hamas. When we arrived in Gaza, they first told us that they believed in the Koran and would not harm us. They fed us well, were kind. A doctor and paramedic visited us regularly, and everything was provided for us. Want to know what CNN says?

I went through hell. Yeah, so... So there's a little bit conflicting. It shows you why Hamas took these hostages and didn't kill them because it's clearly to make Israel just do something. And Israel knows that. It's like provoking Ukraine with Putin. There's another version of that of this is not convenient for us. Like...

This is really inconvenient for us, this whole thing. It's really inconvenient. And we're not going to let you win just because you have some of our hostages. Of course, of course that's what CNN says. CNN, the backpack sniffers and the pro-war maniacs. CNN is facing backlash after it shared a heavily edited version of an interview with an Israeli hostage recently released by Hamas.

The media outlet later deleted the video and reshared it after removing the line approved copy. It appeared to have accidentally included it in its earlier caption. Oh, you got to be kidding. They put approved copy in the thing? That they released. Oh, you're the best, CNN.

You're the best. But we're the ones. You know, I'm surprised. We're the ones who get censored. We're the ones who have to, that Google, the most powerful corporation in the history of the world, has to censor and scare the hell out of to report this stuff. I didn't hear approved copy before what you say. That's right. That is amazing. What genius works there? Left in approved copy. I just can't believe this, that

Well, I guess I can. So they don't care about their own hostages. Israel cares. It seems that Israel cares less about their own hostages than Hamas does. Yeah. Well, I mean, they did fund Hamas. That's right. People forget that Israel have been funding Hamas for over a decade. Not a secret thing the guy said openly. Not a secret. Kind of bragging about a brilliant strategy. Yes.

So guess what? Jon Stewart, they canceled his show. I bet you didn't even know he had a show. Other than we report on it. I think it's hilarious. Yeah, the only time. I think it's hilarious that people like Jon Stewart still need to go through the people who use slaves to make their products to do a show. Like, why wouldn't he just do a show on his own website? Why wouldn't he just do a show on YouTube? 50 mil up front, I mean. I guess probably 50 mil up front. Is that what it is really? That's why I would do it.

So I can build my own thing, which I could do, or you'll give me $50 million. It doesn't take anything to put a camera. Look at Russell Brand.

And he's got he gets way more views than Jon Stewart. Right. Because Jon Stewart still towing the corporate line on on on covid vaccines. And he had remember when he had Hillary. Anyway, we're going to talk about that in a second. But let's talk about this. They just nixed his show. And now they're trying to make it look like they nixed his show because he's such a badass telling the truth. You mean after he pinned him?

medal on an actual nazi at disney world and will never ever have to answer for that and he'll never go on a platform that will ask him about that and will never ever answer for that you mean now he's a badass after he brought on three vaccine liars onto his show and lied about vaccines for an entire hour now he's got the balls to tell the truth about something you mean the

It's all bull. He'll never tell them the truth about Ukraine. But all of a sudden they're saying that Jon Stewart is somehow going to tell them the truth about China. And so that's what this is. Let me read this to you and then we'll bring you in. Comedian Jon Stewart show on Apple streaming service has been canceled due to the creative differences and subject matter concerns. The former Daily Show host and Apple TV executives decided to part ways, according to blah, blah, blah.

taping for the third season third he's been on for two seasons already made zero new taping for the third season of the problem with John Stewart was set to begin within a couple of weeks members were informed about the show's fate on Thursday Stewart informed members of his team that some topics in the up

coming season would include China and artificial intelligence was caused concern to the executives. Well, imagine if he wanted to tell the truth about COVID or lockdowns or Ukraine war. Imagine if he wanted to do that. Imagine if he doesn't want to do that. He doesn't want to do that, but he's going to talk about, so now they're pretending it's because he wanted to talk about China and artificial intelligence. Does he have concerns? No,

I'm going to guess he's on board for all those things. No?

One source told the Times that with the upcoming 2024 presidential election around the corner, there was potential for more disagreement. Although Apple gave the comedian creative control over the show, he became frustrated that the company was pushing back on the guest list and on the subject matter. Stewart, who stepped away from The Daily Show in 2015, wasn't a huge success off the bat with his new show. No. No.

I went on Twitter. People even know he had a show. People are like, hey, his show got canceled. People are like, he has a show? I've seen more episodes of Beardy David Letterman Show. That's right. More people know I have a show.

Over time, he gained popularity with viewers and has been nominated for an Outstanding Talk Series Emmy Award. And you know how he got that? Because he pinned a medal on a Nazi in Disney World, and that's the reward. He brought on Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton.

two of the biggest bloodthirsty, warmongering, maniac murderers in the history of our country, and he gave them tongue baths. That's why he got an Emmy nomination. Not because he's doing a great show that people like or watch, but because he's willing to play ball with the murderous military-industrial complex. That's who Jon Stewart actually is, and that's why he got the Emmy nomination.

Kurt? Well, I happen to have insider information that- Kurt has inside information. Yes, that he really did not want to do the interview with Condoleezza Rice and Hillary on the show that he has complete creative control of. Yeah. But he had to do it.

But he had to do it. So they made him do it. He must have a contract or something that he's afraid. Of course. So this stupid thing of like, oh, yeah, we couldn't touch China or AI. Get out. That is not what this is. Yeah. That's just for him to cancel his show for low ratings and for him to save face as some kind of talking truth to power. That's not why this is happening. Yeah. Well, I think that he, you know, when he did said that joke, Uncle Bear.

Oh, that was it. He got his mind right after that. So when Jon Stewart went on Stephen Colbert and he told the truth about the origin of the COVID virus, he was out. He couldn't go to a party anymore. He didn't get invited anywhere. They weren't going to let him go on to the Kennedy Center to honor Adam Sandler, I'll tell you that.

And and so he he got his mind right. And he started he he brought on Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton gave two of the bloodthirstiest murderers in the world. He gave him tongue baths. He then brought on people about the vaccine. He didn't bring on anybody who had a counter narrative about the vaccine. He brought on three liars and then he lied to everybody about everything. And.

And then also then he went and pinned a medal on a Nazi, an actual Nazi. He's never had to explain it. He's never excused. He never apologized for it. And he'll never have to because now he's doing all that stuff at the behest of the establishment. And so now they're canceling his show. And for whatever reason, I don't claim to know. I'm going to guess horrible ratings. But now they give him an out to make him look like a badass truth teller when he's turned into the thing he used to make fun of.

It's sad. Just like Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart also turned into the thing he made fun of. And I look forward to that happening with me. I hope I get so successful. I hope I get so successful that I turn into the thing that I've decried. I hope I turn into Jon Stewart. I think Colbert was always the thing he is. He's a dumb improv actor guy. You write words and he says them. Jon Stewart was a comic, so it hurts more to him. You could see it on the Hillary and Condi interview.

It looked like he was in pain doing the thing, but he's got to be a good boy. It did look like he was in pain doing that interview, but he did it. Yeah, you just see him like, oh, how do I relate to them? Well, here's the solution, Kurt, right? He can now, he can do his own thing and leave all that behind. No, he can't. He still can't because when he said those lab leak things, he later came out and said he couldn't believe the attacks he got.

And everybody was like, I'm done with you. And he was like, I don't ever want to feel that feeling of being out of my circle again. So no, he can't. There's a quiet way to just bow out. But one thing I find interesting is the China, China being an issue. Cause as you recall on his great interview with Hillary, there's an Emmy award winning interview. Emmy award winning interview. Hillary brought up China having a blue water Navy. Blue water. Do you think John was going to cover the China having a blue water Navy? And they said, no. Oh,

We can't go against China on this one. Only Hillary can make wise acres. You know the first time I ever noticed that term, Blue Water Navy, is when Sager said it. Sager said it on some Hudson Institute podcast talking about Blue Water Navy. I'm like, what kind of bullshit are you slinging right now? Think tank word? Yeah, that's a think tank word. That's a blue- These are think tank people. The worst nerds there are. There's no more wicked-

despicable nerd on the planet than a think tank nerd. Okay? Okay. I can think of, well, there's a lot of them in competition. Put it that way. I'm putting Max Boot right now. Oh, God. That's the ultimate think tank nerd right there. Max Boot.

Craig, you have anything you want to say about that? I just have hope that these guys can come out now and say, you know what, we're so far down the road, I can just open up and say what I want to say. Before we die in World War III. If there's any hope for Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, who had Sarah Silverman and David Frum on a show last week. Oh, Christ. But if there's any hope for these people, and they say, okay, I've gotten pushback, HBO doesn't want to have my show anymore, Apple doesn't want to have my show anymore,

Start your own show. Go on Rumble. And the first guest you can have is Jimmy Dore. Hey, John, we get 17 million views here. Plus now now on Rumble, that's without Rumble. So we're probably up to around 20 million views a month. That is that enough?

Isn't that enough views for you? I mean, you probably do way more better than me. You're super famous. I'm not super famous. I'm miniscule famous. I sit in coach on Southwest Airlines. No one even knows it's me. The only thing, though, you got to watch what you say about China and AI. They do say that if you want to come here. They do.

Watch your China cracks and your AI wiseacre remarks. So that's when I first heard Jon Stewart was teaming up with Apple, the users of slaves. I use Apple products, by the way, because it's one of those things that's like, um,

uh because i'm a slave that's why yeah because it's what it's one of those things it's like so who am i going to go to bill gates am i going to go to his products and that guy who's been uh forcing mandate mandated uh gook down my veins and lying and censoring me that's what bill gates they're also they're all the whole world is run by a handful of billionaire criminals

and that's just a fact and so there's no getting out of it and it's like what are you going to fly out of so now i can't fly on planes i can't drive a car even if i drive an electric car that electricity is generated probably by coal so there's no getting out of this right so all the wars are for fossil fuel companies so if i drive a car i'm doing that if i buy a tire i'm

So there's no getting out of it, right? But I didn't understand why Jon Stewart would go into business with Apple when he didn't need to. He doesn't need to do that. Jon Stewart could have just started his own YouTube channel. I'm sure he's worth $100 million or somewhere close to that.

And he could have, why not? Why do you want to have a boss? And this is, I guess maybe for the $50 million up front. Entertainment teachers should be that. Entertainment teachers should be a punk. The whole point of making it, somebody goes, failed comedian, whoever. They say that about me all the time. Yeah, like, did I bomb on stage? Like, oh, you mean I failed at whatever this thing Jon Stewart has? Yeah. That he, I guess, also failed at, it turns out. Yeah.

But these guys don't know. I mean, do you remember the conversation you had with Chris Hedges when that outlet he was on was closing down and he almost did not know what to do? And you told him, Jimmy. The real news? No, no, no. The other one. RT? No, the sheer report one or the... Something, okay, go ahead. Yeah, but when it was going down and they didn't have the money and you were telling them, Jimmy, you were like, you don't have to do this anymore, Chris. You can just do what we're doing. You do your own thing. You get your own subscriber base. You get your own funding where you don't have to listen to anybody anymore.

They just don't know how to do it outside of somebody producing their stuff. You hire a tech guy. That's all you have to do. You hire a tech guy.

They they they work for reasonable wages. They help you. They show you how to do it. And everybody's happy. Give them. I don't I don't. It's too. I say I forget. I think you're right. I forgot that I did tell Chris Hedges that on camera. I told him that on camera. You told him. And they just in one ear out the other. But he's now working with the real news who he does great work over there with the real news and the real news.

has let down a lot of people in a lot of ways. And they'll let down Chris Hedges soon. You'll find it. It's going to happen. It's coming. Yep. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Jimmy D Sausage. It's Double V. Oh, friend of the show, Vince Vaughn. How you doing, pal?

Well, Jimmy, I will be honest with you. I was doing terribly. This horrible crisis in the Middle East and the depressing reality that there is no end in sight was making me legitimately heart sick. Heart sick! Yeah, I understand how you felt, buddy. But then I heard the good news and learned that a resolution to this terrible situation is in sight, and our salvation has been set in motion as I sit here and speak to you on the telephone, Jimmy Dore. Vince, what are you talking about? What good news? Huh.

Jimmy, haven't you heard? Could you really be this in the dark about the important events of the day? If so, I consider it a true life honor to be able to inform you of this on this date. It's 25th of October in the year of our Lord, 2023. All right, spill it, Vince.

Jimmy, we have just learned that over 300 actors have given their signatures, their precious thespian John Hancocks, to an open letter to Joe Biden, both praising him for his leadership and calling for a release of all Israeli prisoners. The end is in sight, Jimmy. Wait, actors?

Not just actors, Jimmy. Famous Hollywood movie stars. The people who steer human events. Jimmy, baby, I'm talking Gal Gadot, Amy Schumer, Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, Bradley Cooper, Madonna, Courtney Cox, Chris Rock, Debra Messing, Constant Wu, Justin Tumper, whatever, Tyler Perry, Will Ferrell, Billy Crystal, Tiffany Haddish, Aubrey Plaza, just to name a few who signed this fucking thing.

These Israelis are coming home, baby. You don't really believe this is going to help anything, do you?

Okay. Okay. Wow, that is brave. The bravest...

Although, to be fair, I could definitely imagine a scenario where, like, Ben Stiller said, like, hey, guys, maybe we should throw in there something about stopping the massacres in Gaza because I'm against that, too. And then Amy Schumer was like, absolutely the fuck not. Get him out of here. I don't feel safe in this room, in this room with Ben Stiller. You like that one, Kurti? Yeah.

Yeah, I can see that too. Did they ask you to sign it? You're friends with a lot of those guys. Thankfully, no, which is really honestly the best position to be in. Why is that? Because that means I'm not a part of the dorkiest Hollywood thing since the COVID lockdown Imagine video or Sean Penn literally going any foreign country. And I'm not on record refusing to sign the letter and therefore cannot be branded an anti-Semite. Ah, good point, Vince.

Right. I wouldn't be surprised.

Anyway, the point is, with all those signatures, Joe Biden, who clearly has no control over this situation whatsoever, is in a position where he has to get those hostages freed. The actors said so. They demanded it.

Madonna, Aubrey Plaza, Steve Guttenberg. Sleepy Joe is going to put on his tactical gear and raid Gaza himself if he has to now. You're right. No choice. No choice, Jimmy. No choice. Well, Jim Jam, I just thought you might get a kick out of that knowing that everything's going to be just fine. I did.
