So it turns out FEMA and the steady hand of leadership of Kamala Harris is not taking care of the people that have been wiped out in this hurricane. How do I know? Well, Elon Musk tweeted this out.

Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina. FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help. You want to see? Here's what the note said.

Hey, Elon, update here on site of Asheville, North Carolina. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We've deployed 300 plus Starlink and Outpour has saved many lives. The big issue is FEMA...

is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It's very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new Starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire department.

So they did the same thing in Lahana. They blocked people out. They immediately tarp off the area. They don't let people come in. They're not even letting CNN come in to show people what happened. And then you're not allowed to give aid unless it comes through. I'm going to bet it's their donors. So they want you to use specific vendors. They don't want just anybody helping. It has to go through specific vendors because there's money in that. Contracts involved. Yes, contracts. So...

Here it is. FEMA whistleblower alleged agency misappropriated funds and Hurricane Helene disaster withheld pre-disaster aid and left first responders and service members waiting in hotels without deployment orders. Here, I'll read you some of it. Here it is. Yesterday,

You stated that the Federal Emergency Management, FEMA, which is part of your department, does not have enough funds to make it through hurricane. This is from Matt Goetz to Alejandro Mallorca as the head of the Homeland Security Department.

The news comes after FEMA has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on migrants due to a border czar, Kamala Harris, open border instead of prioritizing funding for Americans impacted by disasters. My office has been in contact with whistleblowers and numerous emergency management functions at the federal, state, and local levels, and they all point to the same critical mismanagement issues.

FEMA has wasted taxpayer funds, misappropriated funds, and left other federal, state, and local responders without deployment orders on the ground. As reported and further confirmed by my office, hundreds, if not thousands, of service members were deployed by the Department of Defense to North Carolina and have sat idle waiting for FEMA.

We have confirmed FEMA employees deployed on the clock waiting orders in a hotel. FEMA pre-disaster aid was withheld exacerbating the emergency. It is also public that non-governmental organizations have purchased airline tickets for migrants through the use of FEMA funds.

The aftermath of Hurricane Helene is major disaster and your waste and unpreparedness are leaving Americans in distress, unable to access food, water, and medicine, and expecting help with none coming. Please provide answers to the following questions to my office. What policies and regulations of the Department of Homeland Security and FEMA prevent emergency funds from being...

Wasted on illegal immigrants, including what conditions are placed on grants, grantees of the agency and of FEMA's total budget for FY 2024. What portion of the funds can be guaranteed to have been spent solely on American citizens? And what portion of funds was or may have been spent on?

on non-citizens, and in fiscal year 2024, what portion of the funds in the disaster relief fund have been spent on non-disaster relief programs, such as providing services to illegal aliens or providing routine training to FEMA employees authorized out of a general appropriations. That's from Matt Goetz's office. So that's the whistleblowers saying,

Again, we can't take care of our own people, yet we're trying to fix Ukraine and Israel with hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars. And they're going to give those people $750. And by the way, those people aren't getting the $750 because FEMA's denying people who finally find their way to electricity and a computer to apply. Then FEMA just denies it to them. So here's some more. This is TEMA.

So this is the Tennessee emergency management. So this is, I'm going to show you how not only, I just showed you who not only is FEMA and Kamala Harris not doing anything for these people. They're leaving people, FEMA employees sitting in hotels waiting for orders. They're blocking private donations of food, water, medicine from coming in. FEMA is doing that.

They're grounding helicopters. They won't let private helicopters go rescue people. But here is, I'm going to show you, here is Tennessee Emergency Management. Update. Affected counties are beginning to establish a local donation and volunteer reception centers. Please visit TEMA's website for an evolving list of locations. While local communities appreciate the volunteer spirit...

During disasters, please do not send donations that have not been requested by state or local authorities. Huh? TEMA is not accepting volunteers or donations until the life safety mission is complete. What? Tennesseans do not self-deploy. Do not self-deploy. Meaning don't go try to help someone.

Don't go try to help someone. You know someone's stranded. You know they're on a mountaintop and their house got washed away and they don't have electricity and they're an old person and they don't. Screw him. This will hinder response and recovery. That's what they're saying. Well, here's what people are saying on the ground. You want to hear what people are actually saying on the ground? Here's what they're saying. I'm guessing that's FEMA for Tennessee. I'm not exactly sure. I think it's supposed to be the disaster relief people, but

they were like, do not donate your time. We don't want you to donate time unless we ask for you. And we don't want you to donate stuff to other people. You need to just donate money and stuff to us and get your instructions from us and listen to us. What? And then you say, they said yesterday, we don't go into areas that the roads are not easily accessible.

What? You are the disaster relief people. Like that is your job to go into the areas that are hit by disaster and provide relief. And you have us all messed up. If you think you're going to come here and bark orders at us and then expect the people just to give you the money and us trust that you're going to try to take care of us when you don't go into areas that are not easily accessible.

What? What the government is doing right now to the entire state of North Carolina and Tennessee is a nothing short of just plain awful. Like, I do not physically have the words for it, because if you don't know, we have not heard from my aunt since Friday because of Hurricane Helene. And there is no government aid. None. Zero. Zilch.

There's a few, but it's small government offices mainly run by civilians. Because you want to know what's happening right now in North Carolina and Tennessee? There are entire towns that there is no way in or out. Those roads are not drivable because of the mudslides and the power lines and the downed trees. There are doctors right now physically walking across that because their cars can't get through to go help these people. So I'm at the Newdale Fire Department.

Here is what supplies they have so far. Absolutely nothing from the government. This is all volunteers, just personal donations. So this is where your money on the GoFundMe is going. But yeah, the government is not helping. This is just local people banding together and bringing supplies. So yeah, the government won't come save you. It's your neighbors and family.

and that will be there for you when you need it. - This is black people, volunteers. No one else, we just get volunteers bringing in waters, water. - This is awesome. Yeah, this is all personal donations. This is not government. This is people just doing this out of the kindness of their heart.

So, some volunteers donated some supplies. But, I mean, this is all being unloaded by hand. There's not equipment to even unload pallets. So, but this is amazing. We greatly appreciate all your help.

Yeah, here's some supplies that are rolling in. We got some MREs and propane. That is awesome. And water. Water is desperately needed. Thank you! Well, we didn't make it for the milk. Wednesday, October 2nd.

More empty aisles.

Do Americans need permission from the government to help other Americans in need? What's going down is very strange and a lot of this is going to get memory hold and we're going to forget about it, okay? But I want to document this. This is what's happening right now when a lot of these people still haven't been found.

I'm hearing all kinds of horror stories. I have to wonder if the reason why they don't want drones being flown en masse over these areas is because the devastation is crazy. So there's your FEMA. Here's Doofus in charge. He should be on the cover of Mad Magazine.

But instead, he's the head of your transportation department. Here's what he has to say about helping the people stranded and wiped out from Hurricane Helene. Our goal is to make sure that funding is no obstacle to very quickly getting people the relief that they need and deserve. Yeah. Turns out that's not happening. Look at my other videos.

Nobody sees the help that you claim you're giving. Nobody. There's whistleblowers all over the place saying that FEMA has mismanaged the funds and that FEMA has employees sitting in hotels without any orders to go do anything. So that's all talk. That's all talk. And you know how much money that they're going to give them? $750, which those people can't even get.

Because A, they don't have electricity. They don't have a computer. And the people who are lucky enough to make it to a hotel and a computer, when they apply for the $750, FEMA turns them down. So again, they didn't help you in East Palestine. They didn't help you in Lahani. They're not helping you with Helene. They still don't have clean water in Flint, Michigan. They could not care less about you.

Your government is not there to serve you. They're there to serve an international class of billionaires, which is all these assholes work for. That's who they work for. They don't work for you. Don't be a fool. They work for AIPAC, the military industrial complex, and Wall Street. That's who they work for. And during COVID, they work for Big Pharma. And you're a chump if you think it makes a difference. Oh, no, there's somebody in government fighting for me.

Our goal is to make sure that funding is no obstacle to very quickly getting people the relief that they need and deserve. There's also some safety issues that come up. For example, temporary flight restrictions to make sure that the airspace is clear for any flights or drone activity that might be involved in helping to allow. So they're not allowing people to fly helicopters, not allowing people to fly drones, to find people who are dead or dying

and need rescuing babies. You think I'm kidding? Here's a guy who did a mission, saved people. His helicopter was too heavy, so he had to leave his kid behind, his co-pilot. He calls him...

He's a co-pilot. So he goes, hey, I'll leave you behind. I'm going to take these people who are desperate and need helping, and I'll come back and get you. Guess what? Sheriff wouldn't let him go back. Watch. At that time, I didn't know, but Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief, maybe. By the way, this guy is a certified law enforcement officer and a volunteer member of the fire department. Over the weekend, he went on a rescue mission with his son, but after rescuing a North Carolina woman, he was forced to leave home.

her husband behind because he was threatened with arrest. Watch. At that time, I didn't know, but Lake Lure fire chief or assistant chief, maybe, and he shut down the whole operation. So at that point, there was, I felt like the conversation wasn't going any further. And again, he asked me to leave. And I said, Hey, I have no problem getting out of your area. If that's what you want us to do, we'll leave no issue. At that point, I asked him, you know,

What was the reason I had to leave them there? And he said, again, you're interfering with my operation. I just need you to get out of the area. I said, sir, I don't know where you were trained at, but I know how my training is, and I'm not going to leave personnel behind. I'm going back to get my co-pilot. He said, if you turn around and go back up the mountain, you're going to be arrested. They have time to arrest people? They have time to arrest people. Exactly. They have time to arrest people. And what the FAA does is they...

I'm getting a text. My friend in Maui explained the way the drones are set up, the government requires their software to block them from flying in FAA no-fly zones. Yeah. So the FAA can block drone software from flying anywhere the FAA doesn't want them to fly. So they can't go help find people. Listen to this guy. He's going to tell you the same thing. Watch this.

My name is Jonathan Howard. I'm a member of the Florida State Guard Special Missions Unit. I'm also up here with Aerial Recovery, a nonprofit. I came up here on Sunday with Aerial Recovery before we even got activated. We flew up here and then we got activated, which is great. I have my team up here working as well. Here's the problem. I'm going to tell you everything that's happening from the ground what I'm actually seeing because what they're telling you is complete bullshit on the news and these politicians don't have a fucking clue in their mind.

I'll say this now, I'll say it in the video. The only thing I need from this video is helicopters. If I have helicopters, I can save lives. Without helicopters, I can't reach these people. It doesn't matter how many chainsaws and trucks I got, I can't get to them. They're 10 miles in, 20 miles, 40 miles in the mountains. There's no way to get with them or even communicate with them. I'm literally flying around in a civilian helicopter looking for SOS messages carved in the mud or painted on the ground and we're dropping down and saving them.

What got me fired up about this was yesterday, me and my team did the rescue of that 11-day-old baby. And all these government officials and social media, they're showing that video, that pictures and video of that rescue and claiming that they have some government help with that.

I mean, even USA, I think it was USA Today wrote an article about it saying it was a Florida National Guard that went and got it like with a helicopter. No, it was me, my buddy, Charlie, and a civilian named Zeb with his own personal helicopter out of Wilmington, North Carolina. Like without that civilian, that baby would be dead. And the old lady we went and rescued after that, she'd be dead too because she had one day left of oxygen that no one was going to go get them.

I will tell you, when we go up in the air, I probably see 40 civilian helicopters, and I might see two Blackhawks, National Guard, military, whatever they are. That's it. No one's out there doing rescues. I have my entire team up here from Florida right now, and they have no ability to go rescue these people other than what they can drive to. The people that are in dire need, they're out in the mountains. They are completely cut off. Now, I will say, I spoke to...

my congresswoman down in florida and she's a badass and she made a bunch of phone calls and now we got two contracted 60s coming up here tomorrow which is great i love that but like i still understand why we don't have more helicopters like we'll get a lot of work done with that but there's no oh no there's no military there's no no one's doing nothing i just it blows my mind and they're not even allowing people to see what's really going on one of our friends yesterday they were actually escorting cnn down a late lore

And they wouldn't even let CNN, the sheriff department would not let them go videotape the bad areas, how destructive it is. I don't know why they don't want to show you all that, but I mean, it is bad. I should also say when I flew here on Sunday, they actually stopped us from going in the sheriff department. And it was because of,

A bunch of politics that they were claiming was a speaker of the House of North Carolina that was preventing us from even going in and trying to kick us out, which I have clarified today with North Carolina politicians that reached out to me, good on them, and they were like, that's complete bullshit. Speaker of the House has nothing. He wants you guys there. But this is the kind of political BS that is happening here right now. Like, everyone's trying to be in charge without taking any type of action. Nobody wants to coordinate with anybody. Everybody wants to pretend like they're being the hero while these people are literally fucking dying in the mountains.

And these people, like I'm saying, these people are limited medication. They're running out of oxygen and there's no one going to get them. The most effective way I have found to go find these people is by getting in a helicopter and flying down the rivers and roads and looking for SOS messages or people waving us down. And then we drop down and get them. We have all these people here. We have law enforcement, we have state guard, national guard. They have no way to go get these people. Yesterday when I was at the Asheville airport refueling, which by the way, the civilian is paying all this out of his own pocket. He's not even looking for a reimbursement. I think we did four refuelings yesterday.

And that was like just in half a day of work. We're in Nashville and I saw two Air Force helicopter 60s. And I knew they were PJs just looking at them. And I went up to them like, "Hey guys, what are y'all doing?" And like, "This is what you need to be doing. This is how I'm finding people." And they're like, "We can't go. We're waiting on Title 10 orders." And I'm like, "What?" They just, they can't get any authority. There's military helicopters all over here sitting on the ground and they can't do nothing. Even my JSOC boys in Fayetteville, they can't get orders to come out here. It is just the most disgusting thing. And they're killing these people. And I don't know why they're doing it. I don't know what kind of conspiracy.

I've heard so many things, whatever you want to come up with, but they are literally allowing these people to fucking die in the mountains right now because we can't get helicopters. They got money for everything else in the fucking world right now, but if they could just get us helicopters, we could fly out there and rescue these people. So I hope this video goes viral. I hope these politicians get fired. I hope people get pissed off. They'll probably kick me out of the state of North Carolina for doing this, but you know what? I don't care because if I can save one more life for it, it's fucking worth it to me.

So here's Secretary Pete Buttigieg says no one is shutting down the airspace and FAA doesn't block legitimate rescue and recovery flights. The key word here is legitimate, meaning only the ones we say. If you're encountering a problem, give me a call. He said this to Elon Musk after Elon Musk had tweeted out that thing I showed you about how he's getting reports from Starlink whistleblowers on the ground that FEMA is stopping them from helping people.

He says there are hundreds of reports of FEMA and FAA blocking flights. This literally just happened. I will follow you. Please DM me the number to call you because he says if you're encountering a problem, give me a call. He said that to Elon Musk. Elon Musk says, I'll give you my phone number. Hey, I'm still waiting. The helicopter is trying to land and deliver critical supplies. What's the number to call? So these guys are corrupt enemies of Americans. That's what Pete Buttigieg is.

He works for the international handful of billionaires who run everything in the Western world. And he's not here to help you. He's here to gaslight you and keep you from the help you need. Elon Musk out there trying to help people with Starlink and helicopters. He says, call him if you're having a problem. I did. No. What are we going to call? What's the number? Time for a revolution.

Here's what he's now saying now about illegal immigrants. Now more than ever, we're short of workers.

We have a population that is not reproducing it on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here. So he's not saying immigrants, he's saying illegal immigrants.

So that's exactly what I've been saying. As soon as the workers and the labor and the unions start to get a little bit of their power back, which is what's happening right now, they just had a successful strike for the longshoremen. Starbucks are being effectively organized for unions. People are starting to get, you know, most of the workers live paycheck to paycheck. Half the country can't afford a house anymore.

Half the country can't afford a $400 emergency. So now that workers are finally starting to get a little bit of their power back, Chuck Schumer comes out and says, we have to embrace undocumented immigrants.

Immigrants. Another term for that is illegal. And you know why I know that another term for that is? Because Chuck Schumer used to say you shouldn't call them undocumented, you should call them illegal. You think I'm kidding? Here's what Chuck Schumer used to say. American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.

Until the American people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress on dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are here now. Here it comes. And on rationalizing our system of legal immigration. Here it comes. It's plain and simple and unavoidable. When we use phrases like undocumented workers...

We convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose. If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong. That's what he used to say. That's what he used to say. Now, now he says we need to welcome them because we don't have enough workers.

I've had more than one money guy, economist, come on this show and say the official unemployment rate is bullshit. They don't count the unemployment rate like they used to count in the 80s. If they did, the unemployment rate would be somewhere around 15 to 20 percent. That's what I've had economists on this New York Times bestselling economist say on this show.

and so now that workers are starting to organize and get a little power they just want to strike now chuck schumer's out there saying we need to welcome 11 million illegal aliens he used to call them illegal aliens and he said shame on you for calling them undocumented well now that's what he does here he is now more than ever we're short of workers

We have a population that is not reproducing it on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented there are here.

That's quite a shift. You know who else used to say that? Bernie Sanders. Listen to what Bernie Sanders used to say when they would ask him about open borders. Open borders? That's a Koch brothers proposal.

The idea, of course, I mean that's a right-wing proposal which says essentially there is no United States. But it would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it? And it would make everybody in America poor. Then you're doing away with the concept of a nation state. And I don't think there's any country in the world which believes in that. If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country,

You have an obligation, in my view, to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open border policy. Bring in all kinds of people who work for $2 or $3 an hour. That would be great for them. I don't believe in that. Open borders. What in the hell happened to the Democratic Party? Oh, I know. They're in the pocket of Wall Street and corporations. And they want to flood the country with cheap labor. That's what they're doing. They sanction...

Poor country. They sanctioned South Central American countries, make those people desperate, have them come here and undercut our labor. That's what they did in Haiti. You know, Hillary Clinton was the one who got the minimum wage in Haiti cut in half. Hillary Clinton. The Democrats are doing this. I'm not saying the Republicans aren't. I'm saying the Democrats. You know, it's Donald Trump who wants to close the border. And then they make him out to be a racist. They all used to say the same thing up until five seconds ago.

What changed? Oh, workers started to get a little bit more power and the donor class started coming down on the Democrats to open the border and demonize anybody who wants to have Bernie Sanders said, well, if you don't have a border, you don't have a nation. That's what Trump says. That's what they demonize Trump for saying. If you don't have a border, you don't have a country. That's what Bernie Sanders used to say. That's what Chuck Schumer used to say. Isn't that amazing? They're coming after the American worker.

That's what this is about. This is about people aren't joining the military. So we're going to get illegal immigrants in here so we can join the military and we'll give them a path to citizenship if they join our military. That's not me saying that. That's Senator Dick Durbin said that on the floor of the Senate. So we're not meeting our recruiting goals.

We have to let immigrants into our military. I'm pretty sure that there's a... What famous country fell that way? I don't know. You'd have to roam all over to figure out. Oh, that's right. These people are on purpose hollowing out America and decimating the American worker. They've already hollowed out the middle class. And they ain't stopping. And they're doing it under the virtue signal of we want to help poor immigrants.

No, what they want to do is screw over America. Right now, in New York, they're giving illegal immigrants $3,000 on a debit card a month. They're only going to give $700 to the people in the hurricane. I hope you see what's happening. I hope when you see Bernie Sanders say that and you hear him say that. By the way, I liked him better when he had less hair. Now he's got more hair.

Let's listen to what he said before. Listen to what he said one more time. American people are fundamentally pro-legal immigration and anti-illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. Until the American people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration, we will make no progress.

on dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are here now and on rationalizing our system of legal immigration. It's plain and simple and unavoidable. Plain and simple. When we use phrases like undocumented workers, we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose.

If you don't think it's illegal, you're not going to say. You're not going to say it. I think it is illegal. He thinks it is illegal. He doesn't think that anymore. He doesn't think that anymore. Now he thinks they're undocumented and we need them further. They've been telling people for years to reduce how many babies. That's why they want abortion legal. They want less Americans. That's one of the big reasons. I'm all for a woman's right to choose. But now they're pro-abortion.

Now more than ever, we're short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing it on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers, and all of them. Because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers, but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented that are here.

However many illegal immigrants there are. How many? However there are. Screw legal immigration. Let's embrace illegal immigration. Again, this is not me demonizing the immigrant.

This is me demonizing the oligarchy that opens the border, makes those people desperate, and then floods our country with cheap labor, people more desperate. So now workers can fight against poor people. That's exactly what they want. They want you to hate someone in a more desperate situation than you are because they're all run by greedy, economic hitmen capitalists.

And if you find yourself, you shouldn't be angry at the immigrant. You should be angry at this motherfucker. You should be angry at the people who are allowing the border to be open and demonizing anybody who wants to have rational immigration.

You should also be angry at the economic hitmen and the capitalists and the corporations that then put sanctions on countries like Venezuela to make their people in economic pain so they're desperate enough to come to this country to work for slave wages. And Haiti, did the same thing with Haiti, did the same thing with Venezuela.

We're the ones. It's the oligarchs that are doing that. Don't be angry at the immigrant. Be angry at the oligarch. Because workers are finally getting to have a little bit of power in this economy. And guys like Chuck Schumer are making sure they cut the legs right. So it was Bill Clinton did NAFTA. Bill Clinton did NAFTA, which cut the legs from underneath workers for a generation or two. And now...

They're flooding the country with... So they're not exporting the jobs anymore. They've exported all the jobs they can export. So now they're going to make people desperate and import the desperate people to undercut the wages here. What's happening in this country is criminal. And I hope somebody smarter than me knows how to start a real revolution because that's what we need in this country. Not a bullshit riot like January 6th. We need a real revolution.

Hey, come see us do stand-up comedy in Tempe, Arizona, Columbus, Ohio, Dayton, Cincinnati, Lexington, Burbank, and Honolulu. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. So Bill Gates is at it again. Bill Gates, watch how he slips in how he wants to censor free speech. And listen to what it's over, right? Watch this. We should have free speech, but if you're in sight... We should have free speech, but not for stuff that I don't want to hear.

That's what he's getting ready to say. Watch this. We should have free speech. No, you don't think so. Watch. We should have free speech. But if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines. What? How are those two things equal? That and violence are the two.

Let's want to hear it again. We should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries that even the U.S. The boundaries at the First Amendment. That's where it is. Why do you guys all have to act like this is some kind of new idea? Where are the boundaries? Even in the U.S., we already have the boundaries. We've had them for 400 years.

I still don't understand the thing where, oh, you cause someone to take a vaccine. I thought people who don't take vaccines deserve to die. So let them die then if you. Why is it? Oh, is it because we're going to find out that the COVID vaccine didn't work at all and the people who didn't take it were smarter than me who took it? I don't think that. Is that why? Is that why? I don't know. You're asking. You're just asking. Well, we know they didn't work. We could say that clearly. They did not work. They did not prevent COVID.

Well, they did. In fact, they didn't stop transmission or contraction, but they certainly slowed the spread curve and they will keep you from being seriously ill, hospitalized or dead. And the FDA and CDC still recommends them. So let's listen to the rest of this. You should have free speech. But if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know,

where are those boundaries? Bill Gates causes me not to take vaccines. Bill Gates has caused me not to. Should he be arrested? Yeah, because I know he's a liar and a scammer. Watching him say it doesn't work. He's the one that said it didn't work before anybody. So I'll show you that in a second. In the U.S.,

should, you know, have rules. And then if you have rules, you know, what is it? Is there some AI that encodes those rules? Because you have billions of activity. And, you know, if you catch it a day later, the harm is done. So do you see what he did? He did that thing. It's called duper's delight. When he starts to laugh, what is it? What is funny about what he's saying?

My buddy Scott Rouse calls it that. The body language guy. So he's doing all this with his hands. Yeah. And he's doing that. He does this. Then he does that. And then he does Duper's Delight, which he knows he's bullshitting you about something. And it's about, well, we have to get AI to kind of catch all these lies. You know that he's invested in the AI thing that's supposed to catch the misinformation.

So let's watch it again really quickly. We should have free speech. But if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines, you know, where are those boundaries that even the U.S. We know where they are. It's called the First Amendment. I love how they pretend that we don't know where the boundaries are. And so I watch. He's got a solution. What's the solution?

should have rules. And then if you have rules, what is it? Is there some AI that codes those rules? Is there some AI? You know he's already got it developed. Is there some AI? Why is he laughing? Why is he laughing? Has he said fire in a credit theater yet? That old fucking chestnut? Is there some AI? Why is he laughing about this?

It's because he's up to some kind of fuckery. That's why. Because you have billions of activity and, you know, if you catch it a day later, the harm is done. It's weird watching... That is chilling that he is like upset that he can't control, he doesn't have the power of God.

To stop every little form of expression that he doesn't want. So he wants an AI God to do that for him. So what I said, a billionaire who makes huge money off vaccines wants to take away your free speech if you criticize his product. This is what evil looks like. The devil isn't going to pair with horns, but a crew neck sweater and glasses on a nerd. That's what the devil looks like.

Yeah, the devil. And here's what Phil Gagne says. He giggles at the thought of AI being used to censor speech. Pay attention to what he does and spends and is in the field of AI now because you know he's putting money into AI that can censor speech. That's why he was laughing because he knows there's an AI out there and he's invested in it. That's my theory and everything I've ever thought about Bill Gates have been right.

He's giddy for autonomous censorship agents. You know what's really upsetting is like, okay, even if Kamala loses and Trump wins, you think Trump's going to be on top of shit like this? No, he ain't. None of these people are ever on top of these creeps and their weird tech shit. They're never on top of it. Bobby Kennedy will be. So watch this.

Guess who's guess who made people not want to take vaccines? Bill Gates. Watch this. The new thing. He's off the covid vaccine. He already cashed in his stock for the covid vaccine. He made five hundred million dollars off his covid stock for the vaccine. While you got locked down and weren't allowed to go to work and make money, he made he he bought fifty five million dollars worth of stock that went ten times in value.

And now watch the next thing he says because he just cashed in that stock. So the new thing is nasal COVID thing because it blocks the infection. But watch this. We also need to fix the three problems with vaccines. The current vaccines are not infection blocking. They're not broad. So when new variants come up, you lose protection. And they have very short duration.

So now he's shitting on the vaccine and now he's pushing this new thing because I was like, well, he cashed out his stock on the vaccine and now he's invested in this new thing. Is he invested in this new thing? I don't know. Let's look. This is the Economic Times industry Gates Foundation to fund two COS for vaccine research, two companies. Is that what that is for vaccine research?

New Delhi, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation will fund two Indian firms, Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech. Wait a minute. That's the people doing this.

So Bharat, Bharat, by the way, is the actual name of India. It's not called India. It's called Bharat. So it's Indian biotech really is what that is. So when he says we should have free speech, but if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccine, he just did that thing. He just caused people not to take vaccines because he said there's three problems with them. They're not infection blocking. They're not long lasting. And I forget what the third thing was.

He didn't even say the part about slowing the spread that you're supposed to say. What does that even mean? What does that mean? He's the one shitting on the COVID vaccine. Oh, my. Well, wherever Bill Gates' money is, I agree with that. So, of course. So now he got his money out of the COVID vaccine. So he doesn't care. Now he wants to control your speech about the next vaccine he invests in. And you want to know that this is all about money for him? Because he revealed...

That he's gotten he invested 10 billion dollars into vaccines and he's gotten a 20 to 1 return. You think I'm making it up for him? You've invested 10 billion dollars in vaccinations over the last two decades and you figured out the return on investment for that. And it kind of stunned me. Can you walk us through the math? Over a 20 to 1 return. So if you just look at the economic benefits, that's a pretty strong number compared to anything else.

I think the numbers that you ran through were if you had put that money into an S&P 500 and reinvested the dividends, you'd come up with something like $17 billion, but you think it's $200 billion. He made $200 billion off of vaccines. Well, I'm still more mad at Elon Musk for letting people talk on Twitter a little bit. That's what I'm worried about. Not this great man making, using capitalism, the great system of capitalism that I am sick of you bashing, Jimmy.

20 to 1 financial return. 20 to 1 financial return. Only with that asshole. This is all. So he switched from computer products to vaccines because there's a much bigger return. 20 to 1.

You want to hear Robert Malone break it down? How he pretends to be a philanthropist? How he hides his money-making schemes under the umbrella of philanthropy? Watch Robert Malone. Dr. Robert Malone, by the way, who was right about everything he said about COVID. So this guy was right about everything he said about COVID. And he came on my show and he was right. And then I had guys like my friend Graham Elward say, hey, why don't you bring on mainstream doctors instead of these doctors who are getting it right?

Gates appears to deploy this venture philanthropy kind of strategy, or some people call it pathophilanthropy, there's a variety of terms, in which he gets the benefit of the public relations around philanthropic good works while simultaneously exploiting the information that's coming through his nonprofit ventures.

to support investment portfolio decisions. And there's a clip of him at Keystone, I think, in the snow where he's bragging about this and bragging about the 20-fold return on investment that he's made. He made major investments in the RNA platform technology companies early on. So a providential foreshadowing.

of the future. In terms of as somebody who's been involved in the investment community, you can appreciate the value of being involved with the governments in planning how they're going to respond to a public health crisis when you're intimately integrated into the public health product development ecosystem.

So you are, it's akin to the Pelosi family's investments, I guess one could say, former Speaker of the House in the United States that has made enormous amounts of money through Wall Street trading by essentially protected insider trading activities that they cannot be held accountable for because of their political status. And in Bill's case, he clearly has insider information. He's actually shaping government policy and WHO policy in real time.

apparently had a major role in the appointment of Tedros, for example. So he's actively shaping policy

While he's making these nonprofit investments and simultaneously managing a massive investment portfolio that also includes investment in the same industry, from which he has bragged that he got a 20-fold return on his vaccine investments that were strategically aligned with what the government policy ended up being. And so Gates has...

this unique position where he's crafting government policy, he's crafting WHO policy, he's building momentum through his unique access to press,

He has actively funded the development of a new school of journalism in the sense of a new logic of journalism called advocacy journalism. It's another one of the stories I broke as I hunted down, and I think you can't even find those web pages anymore, where the Gates Foundation has listed their philanthropic activities. And this includes a number of major awards to places like the Columbia J School, School of Journalism, to advance advocacy journalism curriculum.

which has become the new trend. I argue that advocacy journalism by its very definition is propaganda. So how do you know what you're saying is true when a really rich guy wants to make it illegal for you to be able to say it? And that's what Bill Gates wants to do.

That's what Bill Gates wants to do. We should have free speech. But if you're inciting violence, if you're causing people not to take vaccines. Yeah, those two things really equate with each other. Yeah. So that's what the founding fathers said. Yeah, we should have freedom of speech. Unless what you're saying makes someone vaccine hesitant. I don't think that's in the Constitution. Or physically violent. So there's only two disasters that can come from free speech.

I think you're a violence or not taking Bill Gates, not getting a 21. You're not allowed to one return. You're not allowed speech that would make people vaccine hesitant if they thought about what you were saying. You're not allowed that speech. That's according to that guy.

He's not just saying that, Jimmy, just because he makes a 20 to 1 return on it. 20 to 1 return on it. Which is why people play like blackjack, not blackjack, roulette. He makes like guaranteed roulette returns on his bets. We should all have free speech, except if you're exciting violence or if you're telling people laughter isn't the best medicine, that should also be censored because I'm a comedian.

Yeah, right. You're not allowed to do anything that affects the comedy ticket sales. You can't do everything according to your comedy ticket sales. It was like, just really be specific to the talent. If anybody says anything against this club I'm playing next week, don't talk about Magoobies. Nobody say anything bad about flappers or Magoobies. Okay? You hear me?

Of course, that and violence. Inciting violence. There's two things I hate. Mass murder and talking bad about Mugubi's hesitancy. If you make people hesitant to go to the Comedy Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, you should be censored. That and inciting violence. Free speech is like free credit report. It's not like free. Yeah.

Anybody saying anything that would stop people from buying a ticket at Joe Rogan's mothership in Austin should be censored. Oh, there's nothing you could say. It's packed every night. I know. It's packed every night. It pays better than any club I've ever been around, but I live near. I know. Me too.

It's an amazing thing Joe Rogan has built there. And if anybody says anything bad about it, they should be censored. They should be censored. Just like if you're inciting violence. I have a list of people that should be censored immediately. Immediately. Me not making these checks I've been making is a form of violence, Jimmy. Ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.

War and theft. The takeover of Ukraine's agricultural land amidst chaos of war. A new report exposes the stealth takeover of Ukrainian agricultural land. Well, I'm glad. James O'Keefe exposed this already, by the way, with that undercover thing with the guy that worked for BlackRock saying it's about the wheat. Remember that? Oh, no, I don't remember that. Yeah, this has been exposed for quite some time. But I mean, it's good they're putting it down. Well, I'm glad some good came from this tragedy.

I mean, do we really need this kind of tinfoil conspiracy cynicism around here? Not every war has to be about acquisition of land or resources. Sometimes people just like to mix it up like a sporting match, but on a life or death level involving lots of innocent bystanders. That's all this is. Yeah, it's also fun. You can gamify it and make it fun.

War and theft. One year into the war, a new report reveals how oligarchs and financial interests are expanding control over Ukraine's agricultural land with help and financing from Western financial institutions. You mean like BlackRock? Right. Remember the GMO wheat that they don't take in other countries and they're going to flood Ukrainian garbage, America wheat, into like France and all those, Poland and what have you?

Aid provided to Ukraine in recent years has been tied to a drastic structural adjustment program requiring the creation of a land market through a law that leads to greater concentration of land in the hands of powerful interests. Where it belongs. Wow. So when they sent money over to Ukraine, they were really just sending it to our own oligarchs? Lindsey Graham is right. This is the best money we ever spent.

Oh, so we don't lose the money. It just goes right back in the hands of our Western, our superior Western culture oligarchs who are better than the other oligarchs. The Ukraine war is nothing but a money laundering operation. I'm so for the West, Jimmy, the good direction on the compass. Can you believe people still believe in this Ukraine war? They still believe what they're told on the TV about this Ukraine war? You know, I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't had...

Friends of mine, they tell me they do. They do. Otherwise, I would think no one cares. And basically, America just writes it off. Oh, yeah, they're always doing some more. But no, there are actually imbeciles probably who are going to pay for CNN, who are going to pay the money to look at the CNN news through the paywall, who think I told you a good friend of mine goes, we should have given Ukraine everything if it starts World War Three. Good.

Okay, I couldn't believe what he's saying to me. I couldn't believe it. I have no argument against him. Like, okay, my whole argument is like, I don't want World War III. And his was like, no, we should have that.

Ukraine's crippling debt is being leveraged by financial institutions to drive post-war reconstruction towards further privatization and liberalization in several sectors, including agriculture. Ukrainian civil society, academics, farmers are demanding the suspension of the land law and of all land transactions and calling for an agricultural model no longer dominated by oligarchy and corruption. Well, good luck.

Good luck with that. Are there any of them left in the country? Why haven't those people been stuffed in a van and sent to the front lines yet? That's what I'm wondering. I'm guessing they will be soon. Sales of agricultural land in Ukraine up 50% in February.

noise about 9,600 purchase and sale transaction for a total of 22,000 hectares of agricultural land were conducted in uk in february 2024 which is 50 percent more than in january 2024 ukrainian media reported citing an analytical survey of the ukrainian land market carried out by the kiev school of economics center who delivers that's

Wow. Yep. So Western corporations have already bought up half of the Ukrainian agricultural land at a bargain price. That's from July 14th of this year. Nice. So here's this guy, Mick Wallace. He's one of those European members of parliament, right? Mm-hmm.

I like both of these Irish people because they look like they're from the Muppets band, but they say smarter things in the Muppets. Yeah, he's an Irish politician, former property developer, and former member of the European Parliament from Ireland for the South constituency. And here's what he says about this.

But I said, giving them two thirds of it in debt is another debt trap. I said, they can't pay back the money they already owe. They're never going to pay this back. So what you are doing is you're colonizing the place. You're going to own the yard. And now, as if that's not bad enough, when the IMF gave him a loan in 2021,

One of the conditions of the loan was that Ukraine changed its land purchase arrangement. At that time, foreigners couldn't buy land, so that was dropped. So then large corporations from Europe and America could buy lots of 25,000 acres at a time, 10,000 hectares.

At this stage, European corporations have bought more land in Western Ukraine than the Russians have taken on the east side. We're settling with a debt. It's a debt trap that they're never going to be able to pay back. We're going to own the place. What the Russians don't own, we'll own. And Ukraine's sovereignty is...

a long, long piece of way, right? And still, and still, we don't mind continuing to throw working-class Ukrainians into the meat grinder. Do they care about them? And all the politicians that voted to keep the war going, did any of them go over there and fight? Did any of them send their kids over? They didn't.

No. The answer would be no. Jimmy, I don't want to use the wisdom of Solomon here and cut this baby in half, but I see a place that's in sore need of a lot of mass immigration right away. You mean Ukraine? Yeah. Instead of having this tragedy at the border, send them right over there to work those Black Rock fields of GMO wheat. Black Rock Farms. It's farmed by real illegal immigrants that we shipped to Ukraine because we killed off their entire population.

male and a lot of the female population. So this is how it works. This is how NATO works. This is how Western economic hitmen have always worked. We know we've specialized in getting rid of people standing on top of things that we want that's underneath the soil.

I love the land thing, Jimmy, because that's why in New York and L.A. the rent never comes down, because they changed the laws to allow foreigners to buy up huge swaths of land and property. And you see how great it is for L.A. and how great it is for New York. So why shouldn't Ukraine have some of that, the good that the Western, you know, we're a force for good in the world. Why shouldn't they get to partake in that good? Yeah. So this war, it's just another racket. And the people who make the money,

They're a handful of people. They're the ones who know what the war is really about. Morons who I have, my moron friends in Hollywood think it's really about what they say it's about on CNN. Again, my friend in Hollywood genuinely thinks that we should have World War III to make sure BlackRock gets a return on their investment. Well, he doesn't think that. He thinks it's about sovereignty or some nonsense because he has wide hips. I attribute it to having wide hips and slumped shoulders.

It's amazing. I mean, it's not Colbert hips. That's why he talks that way. Yeah. You get, you gotta be a special kind of moron to believe the Ukraine war is about what they tell you. It's about on CNN and the New York times and the Washington post. You got an American. What are you got? What kind of a more, I do this, the joke. I do jokes about the Ukraine war in comedy clubs and people laugh all day. No, it's bullshit. But my moron friends, uh,

Are they in showbiz? Now ex-showbiz friends. They still believe it. Of course they want to stay in showbiz. You better say all the stupidest shit you ever heard in your life. Do you want to keep your job in showbiz? Because that's the nexus of all the most...

uh mentally impaired propaganda i used to think those people were so cool the alternative comedy people oh i never did i want to i did i thought they were so they were like high school they were right on the cutting edge what what did you say i want to pull their underwear over their head bully them and i was not a bully in school i was a nerd in school and i couldn't believe when i was confronted all the whole old scene by the way you know we solved the mystery it's rich kids

So rich kids are going to do what rich kids do. Rich kids can be funny, but a lot of them are going to, at the end of the day, toe the line of their class. They're class loyal.
