Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. Jimmy, who's this? Jimmy, this is former President Joe Biden. No, no, Mr. President. You're still the sitting president.

All right, Jimmy, do me a favor. Don't blow smoke up my ass and tell me you're making coal and brisket. I'm about as much the acting president as this old painting of James Madison hanging on the wall here that tells me what to do when I get tired. Okay, fair point.

Jimmy, do a simple Google News search for the term Joe Biden. Nothing comes up. I'm not doing anything. Nothing is happening. I get it. Do you hear me? Nothing. I get it. I get it.

Jimmy, as I just said, that a literal tumbleweed just rolled down the hallway. We're finally getting around to addressing the ant problem we've had in the West Wing for a few months. That's how far down the to-do list my staff has gotten. Very impressive, sir. No, no, it's not. I'm bored.

I never thought I'd say that, but I'm the president of the United States and I'm bored as shit. I'm the most powerful man in the world and I got an intern whose whole job is to play that game with me where you flick a folded up piece of paper between someone's fingers positioned like goalposts. I love that game. Yeah, it's pretty much the shit when you're really bored. But I don't want to be bored. Maybe I'll start a war. Please don't do that.

Okay, I won't. Wow, you just saved a lot of lives right there. You know, I'm starting to think that maybe having an extremely bored U.S. president isn't terribly safe or a stable situation. You know what? You're right. It's not my fault, though. They shouldn't have removed all duties and responsibilities from me. They should have let me keep being president. With all due respect, sir, I think your mental condition makes that impossible.

Oh my God, you sound just like that five inch tall dinosaur that keeps walking around my desk. Okay, sir. But seriously, you need to find something constructive to do to occupy your time. You're absolutely right, Jimmy. And I'm thinking about bringing on a new consultant to do just that. Someone who will make the last few months of the Biden White House look the way we want it to. And who might that be? Puff Daddy. What? You hear about what's going on with him?

Dude, it's seriously insane, dude. I mean, sort of, I think.

I read that indictment yesterday and I immediately said, I got to get this young man on my team. So, so listen, did he, did he would have these like orgies called freak offs and he drug up these young women in his orbit and have them go on these like three or four day sex spenders with male prostitutes while he masturbated. And at the end, he'd hook them up to IVs to let their bodies recover. I,

I'm serious. Oh, my God. Sir, please. Yeah, man. And he'd make sure that everybody was drugged up and he'd film it, too. I think that's where he went wrong. Yeah. Yeah. So I want to do that here during my last month. You can't have that sort of thing going on in the White House, Mr. President.

Well, I guess you don't know a whole lot about the Truman administration. I find that hard to believe. Oh, yeah? Sure, he dropped nuclear bombs on civilians, but he wouldn't host weird sex parties. Okay. Anyway, I gotta do some research and get supplies. I gotta find out what kind of drugs he used. And lube. Sir, please, no!

Jimmy, when they raided his place, they found 1,000 bottles of baby oil. You know why, right? Like, you know why they needed baby oil? Yes, please stop talking. Sir, you can't do this. Your top advisors cannot be co-signing this plan.

Oh, of course they are. Oh, what's that oil painting of James Madison? It's a bitches up in this hizzy. If you say so, sir. Those women were sex traffic, Mr. President. These were horrible crimes, not parties. Oh, quit being such a prude. Like I told you, I'm bored. I need something to do. Yeah, but not this. I'm begging you. Then what? What?

I don't know anything.

Jimmy, if you have a better idea of how I can spend my last months as commander-in-chief than hosting drug-fueled sex parties in the Oval Office, I am all ears. I mean... Yeah, I didn't think so. So if you excuse me, I have to go get drugs, IV drips, male prostitutes...

A shit ton of lube and other various supplies. Oh, my God. There is no God. It's me now. This is how I'm going out. You can't stop me. What am I going to do? Lose re-election? Have a bad showing in 2028? Fuck that shit. I'm Jay Biddy now. Suck it. Wow. Yeah. Oh, Jimmy, one more thing. Yes, Mr. President.

Do you know any bitches? All right. Goodbye, Mr. President. Because we don't stop.

Here's Mayor Eric Adams, who I'm pretty sure they're going to get rid of him pretty soon. It's a shame because he's a genius. So what happened was a guy jumped the turnstile at the subway in New York, in Manhattan, and then the cops shot him.

But at the same time, they shot three other people. And one of those other people was a cop. The cop shot another cop. But that's not what he says. Watch this. He goes, earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. Yeah, he was shot by another cop. Wait, he was protecting a turnstile from a jumper and three other people? Yes. Wow. Including a cop? He was shot while protecting our subway system.

No, he was shot by another cop who was trying to shoot a guy over a $2.90 fare. That's what happened. That has never been the policy of the police department that they're allowed to shoot you for turnstile jumping. Not ever. I've lived in New York 20 years. That's not a thing. They're allowed to take their radio antenna and sodomize you secretly. But you have to file a report. That's New York cops. The most anally invasive cops traditionally. Abner Luima, you recall?

New York cops always had an up-your-ass thing they did to people. Now they're shooting them. So here, let me finish reading this. Earlier today, one of our officers was shot by another cop. He leaves that part out. While protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now.

And we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. The other cop that shot everyone. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery. So basically, the New York Police Department would like to commend their officers for the great job they did not killing everyone else in the subway. Yeah. Well, no, that's fine to do that. I think it's protecting the integrity of the turnstile system.

I got caught. I had tickets for Turnstile jumping. I can't believe I didn't get shot. So a Brooklyn subway rider was struck in the head by a straight New York Police Department bullet. It hit him in the head. He was a hospital worker. So a cop trying to shoot a guy for $2.90 fare shot a hospital worker in his head. And he now has brain damage, according to the family.

Well, I would condemn this, but I support Israel, and this sounds like something they would do. It sounds like these cops have been trained in Israel, doesn't it? Yeah. Because you know what? I bet they have. I bet they have. Hey, it sucks. Protecting the subway sucks. War sucks. You know, nobody wants to have to do it. So this guy was on his way to the hospital job he's worked at for 20 years when he was hit by a slug fired by a New York Police Department cop.

Wow. Well, I'm sure they're training them better than ever right now. So the police officials defend the subway shooting. New York police leader said officers had done the best they could when they shot a guy in that shot a man who was, they say, wielding a knife. And they also hit a fellow officer and two bystanders. By the way, they can't find the knife.

So there was no knife. The cops are lying. Yeah, he was jumping. Jimmy, I never thought I would say this, but that Secret Service that was going to get Trump rally actually didn't do that bad of a job. When I think about it, looking at other people's jobs they've done in the recent past. So, of course, the cops did the best they could, Kurt, when they shot another cop in the face while confronting a man with a knife. I believe it was Sean Connery.

Wasn't Sean Connery said something to the effect of you should never bring a knife to a gunfight because it just makes you shoot one of your fellow officers in the face. I think that's what he said. No, what he said was just like a day ago to bring a knife to a gunfight. Maybe maybe the New York cops weren't trained by Israel. Maybe they were trained by Dick Cheney.

to shoot their friends in the face. Do you ever think about that? No, Dick, that was an accident. It wasn't a heroic stopping of a criminal. Okay, why? There's a question with the knife story.

By the way, I don't hate all the cops, but these cops are the dumbest people I've ever heard of in this story. You're telling me a guy turnstile jumping brought a knife for that. He was, did he threaten the turnstile with the knife? And then he stabbed. What does the knife fit into the crime of turnstile jumping? You morons. How would you think anyone believes that? Here's what Alex Karastanis says. He says, saying the police did the best they could when armed government agents shoot four people.

including a cop and a random hospital administrator in the head while trying to enforce a $2.90 public transit fare evasion feels like a society giving up on creating a better world.

Feels like a third world fucking country is what it feels like, don't it? It feels like what they talk about how Venezuela is bad and the cops will just start shooting at people. It sounds like we have that in New York now. And as the great John Stewart once said, that's the price of freedom. That's the price of freedom. To not have the authority

of Russia, the cops have to shoot Farrah Vaders in the subway. Thank you, Jon Stewart. Thank you. So protesters shouted F the NYPD as they jumped the subway turnstiles en masse. So they were protesting. It looks like at least hundreds, if not thousands of people decided to jump the turnstiles. That's their... Oh, you guys shot a guy for $2.90? This is what they did. This is like three minutes of video. Watch this.

So he's calling for backup. Good for them. It's pretty catchy. I like it. That guy's just holding it by his mouth. He's not saying anything.

So the cops are going to show up and they are going to start trying to arrest people. They only end up arresting 18 people, but they do it really brutally because that gets, you know, because they're all a lot of them are jacked up on steroids and it gets them off. But there's, you know, anyway, here we go. Let's watch. Hey, watch out on the dark side. You're going to get grabbed right now. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch out. Watch

So just think of the mentality of these cops. They already shot. The guy that killed a shot a cop. Yeah. Trying to get a subway evader instead of hanging him out to dry, which would if you were had an intellect above midwit. But I'm sure they're testing to make sure you're not too bright. And some police thinks they literally do that.

Because that's the midwit response is to further make it, well, we hate the public. Don't be mad at them. Be mad at the idiot that you should cut loose. And these people, by the way, protesting, they're going to vote Democrat still. They are. But let them have their protest. Okay, so they're going to protest. Let them have their protest. No, I'm going to start grabbing people and brutalizing them. I'm going to show them. You're not showing anything. You're just reinforcing why those people are protesting in the first place.

Well, they're the same. They're humans. They're doing the same thing all humans do, which is what the cops should be going. Hey, the people that run the cops are screwed. The other people should be able to see that. And what they're doing is taking it personally. This protest, that's a legitimate protest. Just like Twitter. You're looking at Twitter analog before we had Twitter and everybody's a moron that can't see that the people that run things are, are not only grotesquely, uh,

they're evil. And so they were just going to have more of this for like, why would, why does that cop care? I don't understand why these cops, well, let's watch the cops. I don't get why they care. Well,

Why don't they just allow them to have their protests? I'll tell you why. Because there's a big part, I'll tell you, there's a big part of them that likes to get off on this. Otherwise, you wouldn't be a cop. And you've got to have that in you to want to be a cop. You've got to have that part of you in you. And they do. That part could be positive or negative. What they have is, that job also in New York,

So simultaneously, while they're protecting bad actors, they also, if you're a good cop, you are not protected. That's right. So what happens is- You're Serpico. Now your frustration, yes. So now your frustrations, because I lived in New York 20 years, and I'm telling you, I know exactly what cops have to deal with there, okay? So I'm condemning the cops in this case because I know what you guys deal with. This is unjust, and you should be selling that guy up the river. You should not be loyal to him. So what-

But their frustrations from where they get screwed over when they're right, they're going to take them out on these people who are right about what they're complaining about now. That's how it's set up. So let's watch a little of it. So they get like 80 cops to arrest one person and brutalize it. Oh, you got her. I think it's a girl. Are there five cops around? At least five. Why are you arresting people for a fucking white piece?

And just not for nothing, but the subway should be free. So they ended up literally only arresting 18 people. What do you think you're accomplishing by arresting 18 people? Nothing. What are you accomplishing? Nothing. Nothing.

There's hundreds if not thousands of people that are protesting. Let them have their protest. Get up on the sidewalk, folks. Get up on the sidewalk or you're getting arrested. Get up on the sidewalk or you're getting arrested. Look at this cop. Look at this cop running after people. Stop! Stop! What the fuck are you doing?

Can you imagine? Look at all the people going into the subway. That's in Washington Square. Up there by me.

And that's why I think it's perfectly natural to wear a mask at that time when people are videotaping. Mask up. They made it illegal to wear a mask in parts of New York, I thought. Look at these cops. Like, let the people have their protests.

So I can't believe they haven't organized a fair strike already in New York. Look at all those people. You're going to arrest them all?

So instead of those cops being out actually fighting crime, this is what they're doing. Jimmy, by the way, Jimmy, they're not, it's not like they get to pick their own missions. They have to follow orders like soldiers. I know, I know. So think of that. You have to, you could be, they're not allowed to stop crimes.

and they have to arrest people. I remember that guy at the newsstand that was being attacked and stabbed the attacker, and good for him, he got arrested and charged with assault. - Remember that? - So instead of, yeah, and by the way, where the cellar is, that area,

I, I'm going to tell you why 100% endorse what the cops would do there. When he's problem, drunks would get belligerent. They'd smack their head in the wall and not arrest them. And that's better for everyone. No paperwork. That person don't have to go to court. They got hit in their head. Like they fucking deserve. That was good policing. And I said,

that. This is bad. So they're frustrated because they have stupid orders from Eric Adams is a moron and they have to take these stupid orders and these people are yelling. By the way, these people, most of them didn't vote for Adams because they don't vote in local elections. These are rich kids from other towns that moved to New York to live their New York dream. So they don't vote in the local elections. They vote for president only. Do you understand? The frustration builds. Let's watch some more of this. ...

I want to see the picture of the policeman that fired those shots. Because if it was a criminal, they would plaster that person's image all over the news. Why can't we see the image of the policeman that misused his weapon in a subway? That's right.

So they're...

Why not let them have their protest? That's enough of that. But anyway. Because Eric Adams is in big trouble and he needs to have friends with him right now because he's screwed. So he has to back up the cops right or wrong and make this decision. And that's why. That's why they can't just have that. And it's easier than prosecuting real crime. It's easier. So 18 arrested. 18.

All that we just saw. Only 18 people were arrested at Brooklyn subway station during protest of police shooting four people on a platform. But the NYPD assures us that next time they will only shoot the one they are aiming at. They promise. They promise. Who is the cop who got shot? What's he saying about the NYPD? I don't know. I'd like to hear. If I was that cop, simply for the guy that just got shot for no reason from an incompetent cop,

I would be saying F the NYPD. I would be chanting that as well. So let's watch. Let's read this. At least 18 people were arrested as New Yorkers flooded the Sutter Avenue L train station in Brownsville, Brooklyn on Tuesday. They were also in Washington Park. So we saw that. So this is just from one incident. Just two days after officers said they had opened fire at an alleged fare evader.

Tuesday's protest. That is just... You didn't even verify it was a fair evader? That's very Israeli. We can't confirm he was evading. So if you want to break down the cost, this is a very practical way to put it. So it costs the city... I think it's like 21 cents per person they shot, if you look at it like that.

That's Manhattan math right there. Anyway, Tuesday's Tuesday's protest was prompted in part by a swipe it forward. It's a campaign advocating for universal transportation plans for the demonstration, including a flyer featuring an activist holding something resembling a mutilated pig were shared on social media.

What? Liz Cheney? Protesters distributed Metro cards and swiped commuters through the turnstiles as the crowd grew steadily throughout the evening. Crowds later marched through Brownsville chanting in unison. Yeah.

Kimora Hendry, who lives nearby, expressed concern for her and her infant son's safety. Before, I never wanted to take the train, but now I don't want to take the train at all. And I don't. I just take buses. Well, at least the piss smell gets a cross-draft.

Anyway, Maxine Salter, who spent more than an hour at the protest, expressed outrage over the shooting. Where is Mayor Adams? She shouted. I think he's at a sex party with Diddy. She shouted towards police officers outside the station. He ain't out here. That's what she yelled at them. The protest followed the announcement by prosecutors of plans to file charges against the guy.

Oh, they're going to say it's his fault. They're going to say it's his fault that this moron cop shot someone for a fair of age. Yes. So I guess the guy is 37 years old. His name is Darrell Mickles, who was in stable condition as of Tuesday after being shot multiple times, multiple times. So that's not enough of a punishment.

The shooting occurred on Sunday afternoon when Mickles allegedly entered the train station without paying the fare. When confronted by police, here it is, here it comes, ready? The NYPD claimed that he advanced on them with a knife. Oh, of course. Which they said has since gone missing from the crime scene. You know where I bet? I bet it's right next to Hunter Biden's laptop.

That's not a knife. That's a gun. They did a crocodile Dundee. No, there's no way that happened that he advanced on the cops with a knife for fair evasion. No, there's not a chance in hell that that is real. So those cops are lying. I don't go along with your total cop bashing at all, Jimmy, but these cops are lying. Only an idiot would think they are not lying. I know anybody from New York knows they're lying. I have, believe me, lots of my friends are best friends in Chicago are cops.

Retired now. One of them was retired. He was the head of the police, the union treasurer for the union. Well, these sounds corrupt. That's Chicago. But I'm talking about New York. But these guys are, I mean, talk about rookie cops. You can't fight. You're supposed to plant a gun if you shoot a guy. Why wouldn't you plant a gun? You don't plant an invisible knife. You don't improv an invisible knife into the scene. You plant a real gun that you have tape around the handle.

I mean, back in the old days, cops knew how to throw down a gun or two, a couple of knives in a dead person's hand. They knew how to do this. By the way, they didn't finish off. By the way, shooting another cop, that's like just pure genius on those cops' part. That kind of complicated the whole thing, I bet. So, yeah, it did. An officer and two bystanders, a 49-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, were also shot.

Officials said the police officer and the woman were also in stable condition. The 49-year-old man who officers shot in the head. I'm sorry, this guy was in knife range where you had to shoot and you missed and hit three other people. You ever think about a billy club? The guy's got a knife. You ever think about hitting him with a billy club? You ever think about that?

Look, I know you have cop fans that watch this. They know goddamn well a guy within knife range. How would you miss to that degree that you hit two other people and a cop? How would that even be possible?

Police experts. I know we have cops that watch the show. In fact, when I was at the convention, remember, me and Mike were walking out of the convention hall, and these three cops come walking by, but they weren't Chicago cops. They were like sheriffs. And they go, hey, love your show. And I was like, oh, nice to see you. Thanks for watching, copper.

Police experts have indicated that the justification for the shooting will depend on whether the officers reasonably believe they or the public were in imminent danger of being harmed. The public was in imminent danger of being harmed, it turned out, but not by the guy. Not by that guy. Also, a police officer was in imminent danger from these idiots. According to the NYPD, they opened fire after...

Failing to subdue Mickles with a taser, a device that has failed roughly 40% of the time since its introduction, according to department data. Did you know that? There has to be witnesses since they shot that many people trying to get him. So someone must have seen what happened, right? Somebody had to see what happened. Yeah. There's cameras in the subway. You know what always works? A billy club always works. Yeah.

You know, if a guy charged two cops with a knife and they shot him and didn't miss and hit other people in a cop, if that really happened, I don't blame cops for that. I don't think that you all have to have the same weapons to use them. I just don't believe the story of what happened. I think that's made up. The mayor's office declined to comment on the protests.

but referred to Mayor Eric Adams' earlier remarks praising the NYPD. I think that those officers should be commended for how they really showed a great level of restraint. That should have been a 15 civilian shooting, at least, Jimmy. It's just, yeah. Their training kicked in. They only had four. Yeah.

It's just unfortunate that innocent people were shot because of that. Yeah, great level of restraint, dudes. They showed the same level of restraint that P. Diddy has at one of his Petro-Peto parties.

That was like a freak off of shooting. We commend Mr. Combs for not having anal sex with the entire city. He really showed restraint. By just anally sodomizing half of the city, he showed tremendous respect. I love how this ends. It's just unfortunate that innocent people were shot because of that. That's like saying, hey, it's unfortunate that I fucked your wife, but what are you going to do, you know?

They were shot because of the restraint that they showed? That doesn't make any sense. Oh, I forgot his atoms. He can't talk. I forgot he's the world's biggest moron. So Lolo says, NYPD, five minutes after shooting three people and one cop in the subway, suspect had a knife and we're in possession of it. A day later, okay, we lost the knife. Eight months later when the body cam is released, we saw the shape of a knife in his pocket. Where is the body cam?

Wait, wait, wait, wait. So he, when you tased him, he didn't have a knife out. So he might've had a knife in his pocket. That means he wasn't wielding it. If you see the outline of a knife in his pocket, it was not wielded. It was just in his pocket. No, that's what they're predicting they're going to say in eight months. Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay. That's what they're predicting. Well, I believe that it is what they're going to say, 100%. I think it's going to be something like that. First of all, can you believe you call cops to a bunch of,

to people jumping the turnstile. Really? You got to waste cops' time? I would like cops to be out there keeping the city safe. I don't think anyone called. No, another cop called. Well, I turnedstile jumped and got caught by the cops. I didn't pull my blade, like, I guess. Yeah. The person who called was this cop.

And if you notice that cops, he's just holding his thing up. He's not saying a word. He's like acting like he's doing something because he can't just stand there and go, I can't do anything. Watch. Watch how funny this is. He's not actually saying anything. It's funny. That's funny.

Just let him have their protest. He should do that. See, he's doing that and not beating them up. Well, because he's waiting for backups. He realizes he's outmanned. He knows it. He would look silly. What is he supposed to even... It's just like a bad position for everyone. I know. Just let him have their protest. And why don't you go out and...

Hey, you know what? I remember I was in Chicago a couple years ago. They had a cop on every corner. Just standing there. Because there's a lot of tourists. I was in a touristy area of Chicago. And...

I thought that's great. That's great. Why don't they do that? That's great. Yeah, I got a cop. Instead of having them sitting in their cars, they have them out standing there. So then you don't commit crimes because you see them. That's right. As opposed to you didn't see a cop and jump, which I have done twice in my life when I got caught. Didn't see a cop there when I did it. When you jumped the turnstile? Yeah, I did two times. Once in Philly on the Paco and once in New York. And you got a ticket?

Yeah, and one time I was drunk and I had to piss in the subway. I couldn't help it. It was late. No one was there. I was going to die, so I had to do it, and then I got caught. Each time, by the way, I had a bag of marijuana that I somehow slipped into my butt crack, which I didn't need to do. They didn't search me. Yes, I smoked it. It was in a bag. It was fine, Jimmy. All right. Anyway, I thought that was...

Four people got shot over a guy jumping a turnstile. Just let that sink in.

I like to contrast that to British cops where it's like... They don't carry cunts, right? Well, they just show up if you tweet it wrong. Yeah. I love the priorities of our amazing Western nations that are so much better than Russia and the East. And thank goodness that we were born in these great Western civilizations. You can see the fruits of them in front of you every day, how great it is. This is the price of freedom. And how superior we are. This is the price of freedom.

I don't want a nice train full of people that don't even bother to turnstile jump because they don't have to. I want this. True freedom. Thanks, NATO. Let's stick with the program and not turn on this. I can't believe they make you pay at the point of service for public transportation. It's just...

All the money that they waste in that city. Anyway, over to Steph. You know, Jimmy, it's interesting that you came up with all the money that they waste. I went to the comptroller NewYorkCity.gov and it says the city paid $1.45 billion in settlements last fiscal year. And the New York comptroller finds in his 2023 report, he says, um,

1.5 billion in taxpayer funds we paid last year to settle claims against the city. 1.5 billion could have gone to our schools and neighborhoods, said the comptroller Brad Lander. But right now, city agencies aren't held accountable for those claims, so they have no incentive to reduce them. That's right. City Hall should shift responsibility for claims payments from the city's general fund to agencies' budgets in order to hold

agencies accountable, encourage reforms, and save taxpayer dollars because we know who's going to be paying for that. It's the taxpayers. Well, you don't understand. It's a corrupt Democrat-run city like most of the cities. Democrats in urban environments are the biggest pieces of garbage that have ever lived, and they do a terrible job. By the way, I don't like Republicans at all. I can't stand them. I'm telling you, I lived in cities my whole life.

Democrats are the most corrupt, incompetent. And the reason it's bigger than like, you know, these moron kind of ultra right conservative towns where they pass moron laws, don't get me wrong, is because the population is so heavy. So there's so much more potential for graft and moneymaking in these big populated cities. And that's why if Republicans ran it, I doubt they would do it better. But it's Democrat. You have to lay that at their feet because they suck.

Well, you know, we had that we had that conversation briefly that you were talking about the corruption of Tony West, Kamala Harris's brother in law. And oh, my God, such corruption with Tony West. I can't wait for the show to do a story on him because you were talking about it was just not that he was the he's one of the head honchos at Uber, but his.

His law practices or the way that he creates and uses the law to hurt people. It's it's off the chart. It's and isn't he under investigation for embezzlement as well? I think that's what you mentioned. So, again, Trump, Trump, Trump. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I can't believe how much I'm rooting for Trump and I have never liked him. I can't believe it. I can't believe what these people have made me feel.

And you have to really look. And seed oils are toxic because it sounds good. Oh, it's vegetable oil, right? But the way they extract the oil out of those seeds, a lot of times they have to...

to use uh uh you know something akin to uh turpentine right as uh uh so they have to put that something called hexane they have to put that on it to get it out then it's and it becomes so smelly that they have to deodorant so they have to process it over and over and then it's filled with like it's like uh the worst thing you could put in your body and it's in everything correct everything it's a soybean oil is the top source single source of american calories

That's unbelievable. So now I go ahead, try to eat something that doesn't have high fructose corn syrup or soybean oil or sunflower oil or some kind of horrible oil. So there's only two oils that are good to eat, right? So that would be extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin olive.

And then avocado oil. Is there any other? I'd add butter. I'd add butter in there. Okay. You know, like a grass fed butter. I mean, you know, as a simple principle,

There aren't animals in the wild that are systematically obese or metabolic dysfunctional. We're born with an innate sense of eating and knowing what's good for us. You can't really overeat butter. You can't really overeat steak. You can't really overeat broccoli. The food that we're biologically made to eat has mechanisms within it that let us know whenever we hit satiety levels. Basically, our body, we're born, like most animals, with an innate sense of what's good for us.

The problem with seed oils, which are really to me this larger mix of the ultra-processed food, why are it ultra-processed food dangerous, is because the cigarette industry created the ultra-processed food industry. I always go back to this. In 1990, the two largest companies – everyone needs to understand this. The two largest food companies in the world in 1990 were Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds.

As smoking rates went down, they used their cash piles in the 1980s to buy Kraft, US Foods, Nabisco, and they were the bulk of US food production, literally, in the 1990s. And they lobbied for more seed oils to be available. They lobbied for highly processed grains with glyphosate on them to be omnipresent and healthy. They lobbied and paid Harvard to say sugar didn't cause obesity and was perfectly healthy and a good source of energy for kids.

It led to the food pyramid. And the problem in mass with the seed oils and all of these ingredients that we don't recognize on the label is that they're combined by literal tobacco industry scientists who moved over from the tobacco department to the food departments in the 1990s. And they're

They're weaponized to hack our brains and make us want to eat more and hack our satiety signals. And that's why calorie consumption has gone up. And the byproduct of all these chemicals, these cheap chemicals mixed together, is that it's also impacting our microbiome and our cells in very problematic ways. And if you look at chronic conditions from when the cigarette industry actually shifted from cigarettes to food, it has just exploded, all the chronic conditions. So...

We have all these studies, very micro studies saying, oh, seed oils are healthy. This is healthy. This is healthy. No, we should not be eating this ultra-processed garbage that's mixed together in these science experiments to hijack our biology. We are not going to out-hack biology.

you know, what's happening to our health. We've got to get back to basics. And I think the problem is that these companies, in addition to just pushing this crap on us, are also in control of the research. The food industry, the ultra processed food industry spends 11 times more on nutrition research than the NIH.

If I were in charge of nutrition science and research, I would fire every single nutrition researcher and nutrition grant in the US government. Nutrition research is ultra processed food marketing documentation. That's all it is. It's ultra processed food company PR.

We need to fit have simple simple principles and my principle will be don't eat seed oils Don't eat added sugar and don't eat highly processed grains ultra processed grains and rich flour wheat You can talk about that. But if you take those three ingredients out of your diet, you're gonna be in a much better place

So it's hard to do, by the way, just to let people know. 100%. It's hard to get those things out of your diet. It really is. And especially people who live in what they call food deserts, right? So they don't have access to fresh food. All they have is they go to buy food at a local corner snack store, and it's got all these. It's just nothing. I tried to buy. So I was getting on a plane, and I was like, I'm going to buy some nuts.

So I went over and I got a can of mixed nuts, and I just decided to... I was at the casserole store. I decided to look. It was filled with seed oils. So if it's not dry roasted, it's going to be roasted in these seed oils, and it's going to have all that garbage in it. So you think you're doing something healthy. You think you're eating nuts. This is supposed to be good for me, but it's filled with that garbage. I mean, that's why Americans...

their longevity going the other way. The life expectancy is going backwards now because our food is run by corporations, right? And that's what Bobby Kennedy's talking about when he says, I'm going to fight big agra, right? Yeah, really the food desert thing and the availability really makes me angry because you mentioned vaccines earlier and obviously that's a tricky subject to go down, but I just want to say one thing about that that relates to food issue.

The medical system knows how to be strongly worded. They know how to say something emphatically. I think we can all agree that the medical system speaks in a very stern voice and a very clear voice when it comes to adhering to a schedule of 72 shots for a child. And there's no price that's too high. There's no ambiguity. It's you need to give your kids these shots.

The medical system is really, really clear when it comes to adherence to pharmaceuticals. But strangely, when it comes to nutrition, when it comes to 33% of young adults being pre-diabetic, 50% of teens being overweight or obese, and this metabolic health crisis among kids ties to our obviously toxic food supply,

Oh, no, no, no. We need to take social justice into account. There's affordability. It's actually classist and racist to suggest that parents should buy any other food, whole food. That's a luxury that we can't possibly expect. It's too expensive. Kids need treats once in a while. Sugar is okay. It's all muddled when clearly nine out of 10 killers of Americans are foodborne illnesses.

when there's a diabetes and obesity and chronic disease crisis spreading among kids. The medical system can't speak in a clear voice about that and suddenly issues like affordability and practicality come into play.

And I just think if the medical system had the moral courage and clarity to talk about food with the same clearness that they talk about 72 shots for kids, we'd be in a much, much healthier place because we do listen to medical authorities when they talk. Smoking rates did go down when the Surgeon General said, you know, it might be a bad idea to be smoking in the 1980s. When Dr. Fauci said, get the vaccine, 90% of Americans got at least one.

When the food pyramid came out and said, eat more carbs, eat more grains, 20% of our diet shifted to that. So we need, literally, it all starts with leadership. But unfortunately, Jimmy, what I'm seeing, and really, it's not really what I'm seeing or what the conspiracy, it's not a conspiracy, just a fact, the ultra processed food has been the most profitable invention in the history of capitalism for the healthcare industry.

Because 95% of healthcare spending is on chronic disease tied to food. So this explosion of chronic conditions has been an absolute literal goldmine. And that's why, in my opinion, the medical system isn't only not speaking clearly about food.

They're taking money from food. The American Diabetes Association has actually taken money from Coca-Cola. The American Academy of Pediatrics takes money from all the processed food companies. They're actually in cahoots, which is just even more shocking. So, I mean, my personal experience, I remember I came down with a metabolic illness and

It was called ipophosphatemic osteomalacia, and it was horrible, almost killed me. And my bones were hollowed out, and my spine collapsed. And lots of bad things happened. And

Luckily, I went to doctor after doctor after doctor, one worse than the rest. And you think doctors are geniuses. They're not. Just like anything else, most of them are hacks. And then there's maybe 20% are good and then maybe 5% that are great. And I got lucky and found one of the 5%, Dr. Sharp. And he figured out what was wrong with me and he got me on the very simple fix to treat me. Can't cure it.

But what I've noticed is that no Western doctor ever asked me about my diet except Dr. Sharp. Dr. Sharp did. And I remember I went to a Chinese medicine doctor and what the Chinese medicine doctor did was change my diet. And he got me off carbs and ultra processed food and had me take herbs and stuff. And I...

I didn't, I was like, there's no way the stuff he doesn't want me to eat. That's all I eat. I'm like, this is never going to work. I said, but I paid him so much money. I was like, I'm going to try it for at least a week. After the third day, I'd never felt that good in deck. I couldn't believe it. Just changing my diet. What a, what a difference it made. And they never tell you about this in Western medicine. They never even ask you about your diet. So that's just to back up what you're saying and back up where your book is saying. Well,

Well, yeah. I mean, my sister, who's my, you know, we're on this mission together. We were raised in this traditional kind of, hey, like, trust the system. You know, being a good Republican, being an American is supporting, you know, traditional industry. We both went to Stanford together. You know, as I mentioned, she's top of her class, Stanford Med School, and then gets into residency.

And she was interested in, you know, nutrition and holistic health. And she had mentioned to a patient who had debilitating migraines, diabetes, depression, high cholesterol, kidney issues, like a whole, like, you know, 70 pages of charts with seeing, you know, seven or eight different specialists.

And Casey went on PubMed and learned about a link between migraines and food and mentioned that. And she was reprimanded. She was reprimanded by her attending surgeon. The attending surgeon actually said, don't be a – stop being a pussy. And you did not go to dietary school.

You are here to do serious medicine. You are here to prescribe a pharmaceutical or you are here to cut someone open. And that is serious medicine and we can let the nutritionist deal with their what to eat broccoli. And that is ingrained. Casey told me the dean of Stanford Med School, the first week of class gave a speech and essentially said to these budding doctors that the American patient is lazy.

that the American patient isn't going to change from their sedentary lifestyle and their Big Macs and all of these things. And what's so tragic is, and a key principle I have is I think that's such a lie. I mean, my mom, the reason my sister and I are on this path is because my mom, you know, in 2021 had a pain in her stomach, went in to get a scan to Stanford hospital, stage four pancreatic cancer. She learns with a text the next day that she has and died 12 days later. And

and it's perfectly healthy before. And sitting across from the oncologist at Stanford,

They said it was a tough break and it's not a tough break. We're missing the warning signs. We're dealing with what are truly lifestyle illnesses and doctors just simply aren't telling patients about this and incentivizing it. My mom was on five medications, which is lower than the average amount that a 70 year old is on in America. She was told that her high cholesterol was a statin deficiency. She was told that her high blood sugar was a metformin deficiency.

And I can tell you my mom wanted to meet her grandkid who she wasn't able to meet, my son that was recently born after she died. And she wanted to be there for my sister's wedding, which she's not going to be there for. I don't see many Americans who are trying to kill themselves. I don't see many Americans who want to be poisoning our kids' lives.

So I just don't think we're getting the right information. And I think there's this real embedding of like dietary stuff and these literal tons of food that's 3D printing our bodies and cells. It's the most important component to our health just demonstrably. The fact that my sister and I through different routes were kind of trained at Stanford that that's just not –

real science it's just nothing more than a moral blind spot and I think you know not to take it to political but you know this has been a stem the last been talking about I think it is so positive day I was watching a Trump rally recently they talk they were talking about regenerative agriculture

Yes. And they were talking about, you know, taking the poisons out of our food supply to raucous applause from people wearing, you know, firefighting hats. It's like, this is a, this is a, absolutely, we are being distracted from this issue that we are poisoning ourselves. And, you know, it's,

this book, other books, podcasts. You listen to your podcast, Joe Rogan, on down. We're Americans are gravitating to answers. What's going on? And it does get to food. I mean, it's not a it's just the truth. The.

So Kamala Harris has done it again. She did an interview with Oprah. It wasn't an interview. It was a rally. It was a town hall rally. And even then, I'm telling you, you listen to this and tell me, this is how I would talk when I was on Xanax. If I took too many Xanax, this is how I used to talk when I was having anxiety problems, which I still have. I just don't take the Xanax more. But watch this. Watch this.

We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do. That's why everybody's here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American. Even Oprah's like, oh, I can't take this shit. Oh, but did you see her? You see her? She's like, god damn it. Oprah has been through some doozies. She's like, oh my god, I can't. She's going on one of her rants. Watch. I'll play it from the start. We love our country.

I love our country. I know we all do. That's why everybody's here right now. We love our country. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do you know what that is? It sounds like you're clicking the Demerol. You're getting surgery. You click the Demerol pen. You know, you've got the little pen to give you more fucking morphine. That's what it sounds like. I love our country. Yeah, I love our country. Click, click, click, click. You love it. We all love our country, right? More Demerol. We all love it. Give Oprah the Demerol. She's got to sit through this. All right, let's take it from the top.

We love our country. I love our country. I know we all do. That's why everybody's here right now. We love our country. We take pride in the privilege of being American. And this is a moment where we can and must come together as Americans, understanding we have so much more in common than what separates us.

Let's come together with the character that we are so proud of about who we are, which is we are an optimistic people. We are an optimistic people. We were. Americans, by character, are people who have dreams and ambitions and aspirations. We believe in what is possible. We believe in what can be. Unburdened. And we believe in fighting for that.

That's how we came into being, because the people before us understood that one of the greatest expressions for the love of our country, one of the greatest expressions of patriotism...

is to fight for the ideals of who we are, which includes freedom to make decisions about your own body. I gotta go. Freedom to be safe from gun violence. Freedom to have access to the ballot box. Freedom to be who you are and just be, to love openly and with pride. Freedom to just be. Be.

And that's who we are. We believe in all that. No! She was expecting people to applaud, and nobody did. And she's like, oh, I got to keep going. And that's exactly what I'm backing up. Go ahead. I can't believe you didn't cut to Oprah dousing herself in gasoline. Openly and with pride, freedom to just be. Yeah.

No applause. And that's who we are. We believe in all that. This is a moment where we stand knowing what we are fighting for. We're not fighting against. It's what we're fighting for. Thank you. Okay. All right. Okay. Things are bigger yet smaller. San Dimas High School football rules.

Look at Oprah or whoever that is who replaced her. Taking in all that bullshit and trying to act like it means something. Isn't that beautiful? Thank you. Okay. Come on, stop it. We got to get a black woman to be president. Stop it. Oprah was like, if I didn't have a belly full of Ozempic right now, I'd have shit myself waiting for you to stop. So she actually took a question.

From people who are struggling to pay their mortgage. I hope she talks about them being middle class. And she did another word salad. Here we go.

So, Madam Vice President, we are like many, many young Americans just experiencing a very high cost of living. We ended up giving up our apartment, moving in with our parents who were so gracious to take us in for over a year so that we could save money and ultimately buy a home because that's what we thought the American dream was to get married and buy a home and have a baby. And now here we are and our mortgage is gone.

incredibly higher than what we thought it would be. And my sister and our brother-in-law are living with us right now so that they can hopefully one day do the same. And while it's beneficial for us because they help us pay off some of our mortgage, it's also beneficial for them because they can save on cheaper rent. But we really would love to know what your plan is to help lower the cost of living. Yeah. First of all, thank you both for being here. And yours is a

A story I hear around the country is I travel. Is that true? And in terms of both...

Rightly having the right to have aspirations. Rightly having the right to have. Do you listen to what? Oh, here we go. Dreams and ambitions for your family and. Look at her face. Working hard and finding that the American dream is for this generation and so many recently far more elusive than it's been.

And we need to deal with that. And there are a number of ways. One is bringing down the cost of everyday necessities, including groceries. Oh, I know. How will you do that? You mean the groceries that got more expensive while you were in office? You mean those groceries?

Here we go. She's not going to she doesn't tell you how she's going to do it. But look at this woman's face. She realizes she's not going to get an answer at this point. She's like, oh, let me tell you something about people that have a public and private position. A bunch of them are going to secretly vote Trump while they publicly pretend they're not going to vote Trump. That's what that tells me. For example, price gouging.

which is when most companies and corporations are good, but for those bad ones, they take advantage of people, especially during a pandemic or extreme weather, and they end up jacking up prices, and there needs to be accountability and consequence for that. So I'm going to be taking on price gouging. But it's also about dealing with what we need to do around home ownership, right? So as someone mentioned during this film,

Look, I grew up a child of a mother who worked very hard. She raised me and my sister and she saved up. And by the time I was a teenager, she was able to buy a home. And we grew up actually for a long time in an apartment on top of a child care center that was owned by the woman we called our second mother because she helped my mother raise. Oh, my God. Who cares? Yeah.

Oh, she literally just said this two days ago on another interview about her mother and her second mother and raising a family. She's repeating the same stuff on over and over again. Thank you for your question. First of all, first of all, I hear people say this is I travel around. I traveling. I am traveling.

The cost of living is a cost we all share with those who live on after us, as well as those who live before us, but are still alive, which should be all of us. Walter Kern says the Oprah Harris interview is making the Oprah Prince Harry Megan interview look like the Yalta conference or a meeting of the Roman Senate.

That's a fair assessment. The Harry and Meghan, Oprah sat through that with a straight face. And she was good. She did it. She sat there as they heard how hard their lives are. I would have to say that Kamala Harris, when left to just talk to people, cannot help but shit the bed. She shits the bed. She has a mental breakdown every time. She just gobbledygook and talk. But she's exactly what the establishment wants. She's an empty vessel. Look at Oprah's face.

Yeah. Oprah's like, are you seeing this? Oprah's like, listen, you're going to have to try to kill Trump again because this ain't working. I don't know. Do something.
