Establishment media sucks. All gaslighting, so good luck. Bullshit we can't afford. He's fomenting this. Watch and see at medium speeds. And jumps to medium and hits them head on. It's the Jimmy Dore Show. Hi, everybody. I'm here with Kurt Mexican, live from Austin. Hi, Kurt. Hey, Jimmy. Good to see you. So let's talk about Kamala Harris' fantastic pre-recorded interview that got cut in half yesterday.

This is from Twitter's. One of my good friends from college is a managing editor at CNN and told me and a few others that they had 41 minutes of tape, but Kamala Harris and her team objected to over half of the already taped interview. This tells us what most of us already know. Harris and the DNC own the mainstream media. Wait, so they cut it in half. What could, what could possibly be that bad that they cut half the footage? Did,

Did Waltz and her have sex? Is that what happened? What happened? We don't want to see that, Jimmy. I'm sure most of my Hollywood friends will say, well, thank God the right people are in the authoritarian control now. That's what they'll say. Yeah, it's the people you have around you. That's why Tim Waltz isn't there. Also, Tim Waltz was her emotional support human being. Because she couldn't do it by herself.

And it was great, Tim, because you run in the men's room and give me a tampon real quick. And it was weird that they had the cut. They're seated. You're not supposed to be seated like that on television. You're supposed to be given a seat cushion. So she's as high as the person next to her. She looked like she was a little person.

I thought, well, look how she's leaning away from him. What is she, his wife? Also, as Tim Young points out, they lied. They put this was live. Do you see how they... Oh, my... It was not live. It was prerecorded and edited. So, yeah.

So this is the people putting democracy back on the ballot. Got zero votes in the primary to be the presidential candidate. Got zero votes. Zero votes, zero votes. Both these people chosen by the donor class.

And they won't talk to the press. And they're sitting down for a 19-minute interview. This is after a month and a half. After a month and a half, they're finally sitting down for a 19-minute interview. Well, actually 41, but they cut half of it out. They forced them to cut half of it out. She was laughing most of it. It's just giggles. Yeah, that's a good point, Steph. It's probably just 41, 21 minutes of giggles. So the vigilant fox who I follow on Twitter,

On the Twitters, he says the awkward Kamala Harris interview. I watched it. So you don't have to. Here's what happened in under five minutes.

I just want everybody to get, well, first of all, Kamala Harris' first interview as the Democratic nominee just dropped. She brought with her VP, Prit Timwal, and remarkably, it took her less than a minute to bring up Donald Trump claiming Americans are ready for a new way forward and that it's time to turn. Let me just, I just want everybody to get something straight. I'm not voting for Kamala Harris because I care about facts or the future of my nation or anybody else besides me. I'm voting for Kamala Harris for the joy.

And if you get in the way of my joy, I will F you up. I got the joy, joy, joy, joy. As a recently declared black woman, I identify as a black woman myself. I'm giving her my vote because she reminds me of me. I also laugh inappropriately at tragedies and talk to everyone like they're in kindergarten. I feel so seen. I feel seen.

So here she says, what's she going to do on day one? Here's what she says. The voters are really eager to hear what your plans are. If you are elected, what would you do on day one in the White House? Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you, first and foremost, one of my.

highest priorities is to do what we- I'm sorry, but I have to stop it. Every time she talks, almost every time she talks, she sounds either like she's had a couple of too many wines-

Or she just woke up and is hungover. First and foremost. Or she took too many painkillers. Maybe a little bit too much cough syrup. You get what I'm saying, right? She's on the lean. Maybe. To help her go from Indian to black. She drinks lean now. I don't know what that is. What's lean? That's syrup.

Okay, here we go. Rewind it a little bit. Do you see what her tell is, Jimmy? She has to touch your face before she can answer this question. Oh, really? Yeah, watch. Oh, here we go. Day one in the White House. Day one. Well, there are a number of things. I will tell you, first and foremost, one of my highest priorities is to do what we can to support and strengthen the middle class.

um when i look at my notes the aspirations the goals the ambitions of the when i look at my notes she's looking at her notes right now what's the first thing you're going to do when i get into office and then she kind of tap dances around it you know well first i'm going to do the thing that's really the point like you know where you said my notes she goes i look at

the aspirations and dreams. Yes. That's the part written down for her. She's got to do a face scratch, one of these weird tics before she... You don't have that question in the holster. You don't have that answer ready. Here's what I'm going to do day one. I'm going to do this, this, and this, and this. Boom. Vote for me. She's like, well, you know...

Here we go. Well, cough syrup makes you itchy. Yeah. I know Vicodin makes me itchy. I know that. The aspirations, the goals, the ambitions of the American people. I think that people are ready for a new way forward.

in a way that generations of Americans have been fueled by hope and by optimism. First of all, she says a new way forward. You mean from the current administration that you're a part of? You mean a different way from what we've been doing the last four years? That's weird that she says that. They want a new way forward, you know, away from what me and Joe have been doing.

Well, she wasn't the border sower, Jimmy. No, she was not. She literally did nothing. They struck the one thing off of her resume that she supposedly did. That one thing. I think sadly in the last decade, we have. I mean, she looks hammered. I can't get over it.

She looks like somebody doing an impression of Betty Davis hammered. Sadly, the last decade. She looks hammered. Tim, take over. Had in the former president someone who is...

really been pushing an agenda and an environment that is about diminishing the character and the strength of who we are as Americans, really dividing our nation. And I think people are ready to turn the page on that. You realize that

You're on the page that you want to turn right now, right? Because you're the vice president. So the page we're on that you want to turn, you're on that page. And then when we turn the page, you're on that one too. You're going to be on both pages. This is... Anyway...

Wow. This was such a bad idea to wait this long because now everybody's focused on this interview. Instead of this just being another interview that she did for CNN, if this would have been her 10th interview instead of her first, no one would have even noticed this interview and how weak she is. It gets to them. It gets to them if you go like, she's going to be bad to interview. So then the team's like, we've got to put her on an interview. It's got to be great. It's really like a...

Stick in your bicycle tires meme. Okay, here we go. Next up is then something remarkable happens. CNN unexpectedly asked a good question. Pressing Harris on economic issues. She brought up, here it is.

You talked about, you call it the opportunity economy. You are well aware that right now many Americans are struggling. There's a crisis of affordability. One of your campaign themes is we're not going back. But I wonder what you say to voters who do want to go back when it comes to the economy specifically because their groceries were less expensive, housing was more affordable when Donald Trump was president.

Well, let's start with the fact that when Joe Biden and I came in office during the height of a pandemic, we saw over 10 million jobs were lost. People, I mean, literally, we were all tracking the numbers. Hundreds of people a day were dying because of COVID. The economy had crashed.

In large part, all of that because of mismanagement by Donald Trump. Oh, I thought it was. I thought it was because Dr. Fauci funded gain of function research at the Wuhan Institute that led to the COVID virus and being leaked and then causing a global pandemic. That's what I thought it was. But apparently it wasn't.

Wait, but she just got done saying people are saying they had it better under Trump. Yes. And you're saying when you got there, it was a disaster. No, you're not answering the question. It wasn't a disaster. I think she's talking about the OnlyFans economy.

Of that crisis. When we came in, our highest priority was to do what we could to rescue America. And today we know that we have inflation at under 3%. A lot of our policies have led to the reality that America recovered faster than any wealthy nation around the world. But you are right.

Prices in particular for groceries are still too high. The American people know it, I know it. Which is why my agenda includes what we need to do to bring down the price of groceries. For example, dealing with an issue like price gouging. What we need to do to extend the child tax credit to help young families be able to take care of their children in their most formative years. What we need to do to bring down the cost of housing.

My proposal includes what would be a tax credit of $25,000 for first-time homebuyers. Wow. Do you see how long it took for her to get to that? It took all that blather for her to get to a tax credit. Yay. Yay. Tax credit. $25,000 tax credit for new homeowners. That won't even cover the moving costs, but yay. Yay. Maybe I could buy a car to live in. Maybe.

Democrats have a way of making inconsequential BS sound just like they cured baldness or something. Okay, yay. Okay, I think she's got more to say. So they can just have enough to put a down payment on a home, which is part of the American dream and their aspiration, but do it in a way that allows them to actually get on the path to achieving that goal and that dream.

That's it. That's it. San Dimas high school football rules. That's it. That's that. She, she'd been for a month and a half. She'd been working up to this, that answer. Wow. A month and a half. Awesome. Awesome. This is unbelievable. Uh, but the question, he didn't stop there. Dana bash put Harris on the spot over her shifting stance on fracking.

Harris previously stated in 2019 that there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. But now, listen to what she says now. When you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal.

And in 2019, you said, quote, there is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must win state of Pennsylvania. I think she really fracked her campaign with this one. Am I right? Come on. The deeper she digs, the harder she fracks herself. Am I right? Here we go. Do you still want to ban fracking? No. And I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020.

that I would not ban fracking. As vice president, I did not ban fracking. As president, I will not ban fracking. In 2019, I believe, at a town hall, you said, you were asked, would you commit to implementing a federal ban on fracking on your first day in office? And you said, there's no question I'm in favor of banning fracking. So yes. So it changed in that campaign? Yes.

In 2020, I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024 and I'm not. You know, when when Dana Bash, who is definitely a shill for the Democratic Party, no doubt about it. And for this this candidacy, when she could kneecap you without even trying, you know, you got trouble.

What did they cut? What did they cut from the interview if this was included? If this was the good part. These are the highlights. And did you really think talking in a word salad around that question was she wasn't going to think, look, I got to give tip of the hat to Dana Bash for coming back and saying, wait a minute, you said one thing in 2019 and then you changed it. What made you? She wouldn't let her go on it. Even Dana Bash remembers that. Even Dana Bash remembers.

And so let's listen to her. And by the way, she does look hammered or hungover. I'm not sure which it is. It's lean. Banning fracking. So yes. So it changed in that campaign? In 2020, I made very clear where I stand. We are in 2024 and I've not changed that position nor will I going forward. I kept my word and I will keep my word.

You mean after you changed your word? After I changed it? Starting now. Starting. What made you change that position at the time? Well,

Let's be clear. My values have not changed. You know, after she says, let's be clear, I just kind of black out. I'll be honest. But here we go. So so Dana Bass does not let it go. She says, no. What made you change your position? You changed it. I'm not letting you off my word and I will keep my word. What made you change that position at the time? Well, let's be clear. My values have not changed.

I believe it is very important that we take seriously what we must do to guard against what is a clear crisis in terms of the climate.

And to do that, we can do what we have accomplished thus far. The Inflation Reduction Act, what we have done to invest, by my calculation, over probably a trillion dollars over the next 10 years, investing in a clean energy economy. What we've already done, creating over 300,000 new clean energy jobs. That tells me...

From my experience as vice president, we can do it without banning fracking. In fact, Dana, Dana, excuse me. I cast the tie-breaking vote. You called her Dana, then she said, sorry, Dana. Dana. Dana's the wrong one. I thought it's Dana Bash.

Yeah, it's not Dana. It's not Dana. So she directed herself to the wrong name? Yeah. I think it's Dana. I don't know. But look at this. I think it's Dana. Look at how he seems like putting on the rich Frankenstein sitting next to a puppet. That's what it looks like, like a little rag doll or something. That is such bad framing. Why would they? Who is on her staff? I thought she has the best people. No.

No, I think all the people keep leaving and they leave on purpose. And by the way, in 2020, in the debate with Pence, she was for fracking for the 2020. But she said Biden's for fracking and that won't change. So she's not consistent at all. Wait, we got to make the breaking points, the breaking points clips of them talking about how all her employees keep quitting. That's why she doesn't have good speeches. She can't keep it like they leave after like 30 days.

that actually increased leases for fracking as vice president. So I'm very clear about where I stand. And was there some policy or scientific data that you saw that you said, oh, okay, I get it now? What I have seen is that we can grow and we can increase a thriving clean energy economy without banning fracking. So I just want to play this for you. Watch this.

When you were in Congress, you supported the Green New Deal. And in 2019, you said, "There is no question I'm in favor of banning fracking." Fracking, as you know, is a pretty big issue, particularly in your must-win state of Pennsylvania. Do you still want to ban fracking?

No, and I made that clear on the debate stage in 2020. The most important and most significant aspect of my policy perspective and decisions is my values have not changed. And here I want to show you. That little girl was me. And that little, Breonna Joy Gray caught this. Breonna Joy Gray tweeted this out. Let me get to it. Hold on. She said, I had a friend.

freshman year who was able to skim the table of contents and impressively get through a small upper class history of science seminar without anyone realizing he hadn't done that he hadn't done the reading harris does not appear to have that gift oh brianna joy great so and then she tweets out this video that the climate crisis is real that it is an urgent matter

to which we should apply metrics that include holding ourselves to deadlines around time. We did that with the Inflation Reduction Act.

She's just gibberish. Deadlines around time? Deadlines around time. So deadlines. So deadlines around time, Kurt. That's the significance of the passage of time. Significant. Right. Fracking. Again, I reiterate, Trump was the best thing that ever happened to the Democrats. Not only... They always have him to blame, and let's be honest, the only thing...

The only thing the president ever asked of Kamala Harris was to remind him of his name. That was the... Trump was, they set him up to be the perfect thing to blame initially. They didn't think it would go this far.

Uh, so that was, that's, that's, I think that's just hilarious about how she, my, my values haven't changed. Although I completely flip-flopped on fracking a hundred percent. She's now flip-flopped on the border wall. She's flip-flopped on fracking. Uh, I'm sure she's, there's other things that I can't think of. My, my policy on fracking hasn't changed. It will change and it will not change. Now let's talk about that building that wall.

Agreed. She made them take out the part where Dana Bass said, how can you fully support the Green New Deal and fracking at the same time? She didn't have an answer for it except to say she will get it done. What does that even mean? Well, it means that she's turning into Larry the Cable Guy. That's what that means. That's what that means. So that's the part she made them take out. So she pressed her on that.

It was why did why would CNN allow a politician to edit their interview? That's I know why. Then came the question about the border crisis, a glaring issue for the Biden Harris administration. When Bash asked why it took three and a half years for the Biden Harris administration

Team to implement asylum restrictions amidst record illegal border crossing. Harris didn't hesitate to shift the blame to Trump. Yes, this really happened. You ready to watch this? I'm ready to watch this. Here we go. Another issue. Big one is immigration. As vice president, you were tasked with addressing the root causes of migration in southern California.

countries and northern part of Central America, the northern part of Central America that deals with that affects the southern border of the US. During the Biden Harris administration, there were record numbers of illegal border crossings. Why did the Biden Harris administration wait three and a half years to implement sweeping asylum restrictions?

Well, first of all, the root causes work that I did as vice president that I was asked to do by the president has actually resulted in a number of benefits, including historic investments by American businesses in that region. The number of immigrants coming from that region has actually reduced since we began that work. But I will say this, that

Joe Biden and I, in our administration, worked with members of the United States Congress on an immigration issue that is very significant to the American people and to our security, which is the border. And through bipartisan work, including some of the most conservative members of the United States Congress, a bill was crafted, which we supported, which I support,

And Donald Trump got word of this bill that would have contributed to securing our border. And because he believes that it would not have helped him politically, he told his folks in Congress, don't put it forward. He killed the bill.

A border security bill that would have put 1,500 more agents on the border. And let me tell you something, the border patrol endorsed the bill. And I'm sure in large part because they knew they were working around the clock and 1,500 more agents. So she's basically saying that Donald Trump out of office has more power than her and Joe Biden have in office. Yeah.

the most powerful position in the world. While fighting multiple court cases. While fighting multiple court lawfare. Somehow he has more power than they do. And by the way, that's also BS because they went ahead and implemented the border restrictions without, that was all a joke. They didn't need that bipartisan agreement to do that. The president had the power to go do what he did, which is what they just did.

She asked them, why did you wait three and a half years to implement that? And she says, Donald Trump's fault. She's really saying that. Okay. Help them. That bill would have allowed us to increase seizures of fentanyl. Ask any...

Community in America that has been devastated by fentanyl. What passing that bill would have done to address their concern and a pain that they've experienced. So you would push that legislation again. So thank God she finally got to the core of the problems of America. Fentanyl. Yes. Not endless war or poisoning every last resource that humanity lives on. Let's not get caught up in the small details, huh? Fentanyl. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

We're talking about millions and millions and millions of people crossing the border. There's been studies that talk about how it costs at least $150 billion. Wait, they can't seize fentanyl? That's what she's saying. Now she's saying now, well, here's what she's saying. Let's back it up a little.

She's saying that bill would have helped him. And it looks like Tim Walz is just sitting there saying, he's like sitting there saying, oh, please don't say any more bullshit. Don't say any more bullshit, please. Please, just don't say more. I just want to know what's inside his cheeks. Passing that bill would have done to address their concern and a pain that they've experienced. So you would push that legislation again? I just want to ask about it. Not only push it, I will make sure that it comes to my desk and I would sign it.

And I would sign it. I'm telling you, she does always sound like she's on too many Xanax or a couple of she's on her fourth glass of wine. Is that how she normally talks? She talks like a five year old that you asked him if they brush their teeth and then they were like, well, I didn't mouthwash and I went in the back. Like they'll say everything but the answer of they didn't brush their teeth. Dana Bash questioned Kamala on Trump's allegations of turning black for political purposes.

After a long, awkward pause, here it is. Let's watch it. I was a little bit surprised. People might be surprised to hear that you have never interacted with him, met him face to face. That's going to change soon. But what I want to ask you about is what he said last month. He suggested that you happened to turn black recently for political purposes, questioning a core part of your identity. Any same old tired playbook questions?

Next question, please. That's it? That's it. Okay. Well, she did it. I bet they made them cut out all the parts where she laughed like that. I bet you that's the parts that they cut out where she went into her crazy... I'm not supposed to say sociopath. Really? Because YouTube will demonetize it. You can't call... Can we say release the Snyder Cut? Yeah.

Uh, but it is, it is definitely a bizarre laugh. How about that? It shows that you don't have any connection to what you're actually saying. It's inappropriate.

Tim Walz finally got his first question when he claims when his claims of serving in war crumbled on air in 20 in a 2018 video clip. Walz said, we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. Well, he didn't. He never carried a weapon in war. He never went to a to the battlefield. He never did that.

He's never the face he's making Jimmy. Yeah. Classic. That's the face. Congressman Wiener made when he got caught texting that team. Oh yes. They always do this. And so now she's going to confront him with it and he's going to dodge it. Let's let's watch him dodge it.

Governor Walz, the country is. And first, again, this is why did they are they trying to save money on lighting? Why is this lit so poorly? Why are they seem like they're sitting in the dark? Why is she seem like a little person next to a giant? It's it's so everything about this is bad. OK, here we go.

starting to get to know you. I want to ask you a question about how you've described your service in the National Guard. You said that you carried weapons in war, but you have never deployed actually in a war zone. A campaign official said that you misspoke. Did you? Well, first of all, I'm incredibly proud. First of all, when he says weapons of war, he meant like kitchen supplies and things like that. That's...

Those are the things he carried most. And then tampons for men. Tampons, kitchen supplies, laundry. Those are the things he carried in war. Anyway, here we go. Here's the beginning of his BS answer. Here we go. An official said that you misspoke. Did you?

Well, first of all, I'm incredibly proud. I've done 24 years of wearing the uniform of this country. Equally proud of my service in a public school classroom, whether it's Congress or the governor. My record speaks for itself, but I think people are coming here to know me. I speak like they do. I speak candidly. I wear my emotions on my sleeves. And everybody embellishes their war record, right? That's why I speak like them. Who doesn't? What do you mean I speak like them?

incredibly proud of my time as a school teacher too so it's not just i'm proud of a lot of stuff yeah because i'm proud of everything i've done i'm so proud of myself i'm really my my biggest supporter or the governor uh my record speaks for itself but i think uh people are coming here to know me i speak like they do um i speak candidly i wear my emotions on my sleeves and uh

I speak especially passionately about... About the fake war service I did. When I was deployed to Italy, those fateful years. He went to Italy. He didn't go to Afghanistan. He didn't go to Iraq. He went to Italy. In a time of war, I was in Italy. I was attacking plates of pasta and lasagna and some gabagool.

Okay. So Joy Behar could get that vacation. Yes. I speak especially passionately about our children being shot in schools and around guns. So I think people know me. They know who I am. They know where my heart is. And again, my record has been out there for over 40 years. Yeah, but what about the thing when you lied about carrying a weapon of war? That's the question.

That's what, this is amazing to watch. People know me. They like me. People know me. They know me. I talk like them. Jesse Ventura said you're not supposed to ask me that. Yeah. So. And, and,

the idea that you said that you were in war. Did you misspeak, as the campaign has said? Yeah, I said we were talking about, in this case, this was after a school shooting, the ideas of carrying these weapons of war. And my wife, the English, she told me my grammar's not always correct. But again, if it's not this... Oh, my damn wife of mine telling me about my... Your grammar's not correct? No, you said you carried weapons of war in war. What's grammar mean? Well...

Can you imagine that the team that prepped them, that they say, okay, if they ask you the question about your military service, blame your wife on grammar. Bring up your wife and talk about grammar. This is what they came up with. Yeah, and then make sure you're two feet taller than Kamala in this whole interview so she looks like she's weak and not

prepared to be a leader. She looks like I think that's on purpose because, you know, they don't really think she's good. So that was like Democrats are geared towards. Oh, it's the people around them that matter. You know what I mean? Yeah. That's probably better for a dipshit Democrat. So let's. OK. It's an attack.

And my wife, the English you can tell in my grammar is not always correct. But again, if it's not this, it's an attack on my children for showing love for me or it's an attack on my dog. I'm not going to do that. And the one thing I'll never do is I'll never demean another member's service in any way. I never have and I never will. Yeah, that's not what they're asking you to do. You didn't have service in a war. So how could you demean a service you didn't do? Again, again,

This is what they came up with. They had almost two months to prepare for this. They knew this question was coming and this is all they had. That's what they came up with. How about you say, yeah, I misspoke. I was I got emotional and I let it get away from me and I apologize for that. And then we can move on. She has to ask him three times. Yeah. But what about when you said that they like that they really this is this doesn't even work on CNN news people.

You really could just say I misspoke. You really could do that. Just say that. Just say, yeah, I misspoke. And people want to give it to you. People that want to vote Democrat want to give it to you. Yes. You just say that and they'll forget about it. They're probably going to forget about this. Did you see how Dana almost had a problem doing the follow-up question? Yes. She's like, okay, so do you want to answer it? I hate to do this, but you didn't answer. Really, that is how she looks.

So, okay, here we go. Governor Walz, the country is just starting to get to know you. I want to ask you a question about how you've described your service in the National Guard. You said that you carried weapons in war, but you pepped. We already did this. Then the most important question of the night dropped. CNN's Dana Bash asked Harris if she had any regrets about hiding Biden's dementia from the public. And here it comes. Here's what she says.

You were a very staunch defender of President Biden's capacity to serve another four years. Right after the debate, you insisted that President Biden is extraordinarily strong. Given where we are now, do you have any regrets about what you told the American people?

No, not at all. No, no. And I would lie to them to their face again today. In fact, I'm about to do it right now. Watch this. You think I feel bad about lying about that? No. Watch this. I'm going to lie right now. Watch this. Not at all. I have served with President Biden for almost four years now. And I'll tell you, it's one of the greatest honors of my career. Truly. Yeah.

He cares so deeply about the American people. He is so smart and loyal to the American people. He's so loyal, he crushed a railroad union strike. That's how loyal. He was so loyal, his kid took millions and millions of dollars from a foreign adversary. Anyway. Why would she regret what she did when she's with no election candidate? Like...

Why would she regret it? It worked out great. It worked out great for her. Yeah. Yeah. So now she's going to tell you how smart Joe Biden is, how loyal he is. He's so loyal. He passed a crime bill that's locked up black and brown people for the same thing his kids did on video.

And he wants you to have so he's so loyal. He made it so you can't declare bankruptcy because of your student debts or medical. But now he's he's so loyal. He's loyal to Wall Street. He's loyal to the military industrial complex. He's loyal to big oil and is loyal to big tech. He's not loyal to anybody else. He's not loyal to the American people. And Joe Biden has always been a punchline his entire career.

He's so loyal, Jimmy. She had to drive him out into the woods and say, you're free now, Joe. You're free. I have spent hours upon hours with him, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room. He has the intelligence, the commitment and the judgment and disposition that I think the American people rightly deserve in their president. By contrast, the former president has none of that.

And so, one, I am so proud to have served as vice president to Joe Biden. And two, I am so proud to be running with Tim Walz for president of the United States and to bring America what I believe the American people deserve, which is a new way forward and turn the page on the last decade of what I believe has been –

contrary to where the spirit of our country really lies. So she said she's done. She did this a couple of times in 19 minutes. So it's a 41 minute interview. We only got to see night. She did it a couple of times where she says she refers to the last decade. So a decade ago was 2014. Barack Obama was president. Barack Obama was president for two more years.

So with your four years and Barack Obama's two years of the last decade, you guys have been president for Democrats have been president for six out of the last 10 years. So when she talks about the last decade, you've been in control the majority of that time. It's the weirdest thing. Like they didn't, again, is this what the answer they came up with? Talk about the last decade. No,

If you want to make it about Trump, you would say the last eight years. Yeah, why would you go all the way back to the Obama time? Why would you go back to two years before Obama quit? It just shows us how she's bad at math. I guess. The last decade, of course, the last three and a half years has been part of your administration. I'm talking about an era.

That started about a decade ago. A decade ago. You mean with Barack Obama and president in 2014? You know, Barack Obama got reelected in 2012. You get how this works, right? Every four years. That is the weirdest answer. She kept saying it. And even they even Dana Bash or Donna, even Dana Bash says, well, you know, you guys have been president for the last three and a half years. There is some suggestion warped, I believe it to be.

that the measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you beat down instead of where I believe most Americans are, which is to believe that the true measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. That's what's at stake as much as any other. The only people that Joe Biden lifted up were little kids so he can sniff them. I believe that she's talking like Yoda. She is. False, I believe it to be.

I mean, she does every time she talks. I thought Hillary Clinton was a bad candidate and repulsive to most voters, which she was. But this is... There's nothing. You can't sink your hook anything into anything she's saying. True measure of the strength of a leader is based on who you lift up. That's what's at stake as much as any other detail that we could discuss in this election. Who'd she lift up? Illegal immigration? Wow. Uh...

Next came the most painful moment to watch of the night. Kamala Harris is broke. She broke down in tears and she recalled. I don't think she broke down in tears. So here she is talking about the day that Joe Biden told her he was dropping out. Yeah, I break down in tears when I watch the whole thing. It's brutal. This is such a BS answer. This is...

Watch this. Watch. She adds details that aren't relevant to... That's how you know someone's lying. They add all these extra details that have nothing to do with anything. She's trying to make it seem more real. Watch this. When he called you and said he was pulling out of the race, what was that like? And did he offer to endorse you right away or did you ask for it? It was a Sunday, so...

Here, I'll give you a little too much information. It was a Sunday. What? Yeah, I was wondering what day of the week it was. Yeah. I was all... My guess, it was going to be a Tuesday. That's what I thought. Oh, dude, that's so dumb. I was sure it would be a Sunday. Hey, I hope she tells a long story about her stupid family I don't care about. Or maybe a Monday, because just another manic Monday. Oh, man.

That's my fun day. Go for it. There's no such thing, Madam Vice President. My family was staying with us, including my baby nieces. And we had just had pancakes and, you know, Auntie, can I have more bacon? Yes, I'll make you more bacon. And then we were sitting down to do a puzzle. Samosas.

And the phone rang and it was Joe Biden. And he told me what he had decided to do. Tell me how it bothered you. I asked him, are you sure? And then he said, yeah. And I was like, yes!

Yes! Right in their asses! I'm going to be president! Yes! All those people who said I was the most unpopular vice president, I didn't get a vote. I had to drop out before Iowa. Tulsi Gabbard, right in your ass! I'm going to be president! Wait, finish the story. Did she make it or not? That's how it really happened. But this is what she's going to tell you how it happened. Ready? Yes. And, um...

And that's how I learned about it. And what about the endorsement? Did you ask for it?

And he was very clear that he was going to support me. So when he called to tell you, he said, I'm pulling out of the race and I'm going to support you. Well, my first thought was not about me, to be honest with you. My first thought was about him. Be more honest. To be honest. So if you have to say that you're being honest twice in one sentence, I get the feeling you're not being so honest. I would feel like you're trying to deceive me. That's like a used car salesman. Hey, I don't want to lie to you. This car is great.

That's what that sounds like. Let's be honest. I wasn't thinking about myself. Whoa. Thanks for being honest. That must have been hard for you. Oh, is that hard? Tell me about your selflessness. Oh, my God. I'm going to be honest. I was the best person you could possibly think of at that moment. To be honest. To be honest. I was fantastic. It was like when Dick Cheney did a fact-finding mission to find that he was the best candidate. Did you know Dick Cheney was put in charge of...

The commission to go find a vice president for George Bush. And he comes back and goes, hey, turns out it's me. To be honest. To be honest. So that's her saying. So when you say to be honest twice in one answer, you know she's BSing you. Because that's what this is.

And he was very clear that he was going to support me. So when he called it, why, why is she always whispering? Is it just me? Or does anybody else notice that when she's talking, she's whispering? He was, it was, it's, this is right. It's like you just woke her up out of a deep sleep and she's hung over. That's how people talk when they're, she's,

I mean, no wonder she had to drop out before Iowa when she ran for president. She's a horrible politician. She's not endearing. She's not likable. There's nothing to sink your hooks into. She doesn't have any charisma. I mean, none of the things. She doesn't even have the phoniness of a Gavin Newsom. Exactly. Exactly.

He said, I'm pulling out of the race and I'm going to support you. My first thought was not about me to be honest with you. To be honest with you, my first thought makes me look like a true, unselfish, great person. To be honest, my first thought, to be honest, was fantastic. My first thought, really, I'm really a great person. To be honest, to be honest. Do you know her first thought was, yeah, ba-da-ba-doo!

Finally, the old man, because they threatened to 25th Amendment him. And Barack Obama called him, Joe Biden, and said, hey, Kamala's on board. She's going to 25th Amendment you.

So and now she's trying to pretend. No, I was I was my first thought, honestly, wasn't about me. What, Kurt? Jimmy, when you hear the conspiracy theory that Barack Obama still pulls the strings in the shadows, you know, of course, he does. Democrats go, oh, good. They don't find any problem with that. That's right. Good. Him and Hillary are still secretly controlling. So it doesn't matter what she says. They love that idea.

So let's watch this. Very clear that he was going to support me. So when he called to tell you, he said, I'm pulling out of the race and I'm going to support you. Well, my first thought was not about me, to be honest with you. To be honest. My first thought was about him. Honestly? To be honest. Okay. I think history is going to show a number of things about Joe Biden's presidency. I think history is going to show that in so many ways it was transformative. Why is she whispering? Be it on TV.

What we have accomplished around finally investing in America's infrastructure, investing in new economies, in new industries, what we have done to bring our allies back together and have confidence in who we are as America and grow that alliance, what we have done to stand true to our principles, including one of the most important international rules and norms, which is the importance of sovereignty and territorial integrity.

And I think history is going to show not only has Joe Biden led an administration that has achieved those extraordinary successes, but the character of the man is one that he has been in his life and career, including as a president, quite selfless and puts the American people first. Oh, my God. Just like you. Just like you did. Just like, to be honest. Just like you did. To be honest. Honestly, no.

CNN was right to cut this. I'm not 100 percent. I don't want to know the rest of it. So here in the final moments, Kamala attempted to quell the concerns of every doubter who's called her a DEI hire. Here's what she says. You know, I listen, I am running because I believe that I am the best person to do this job at this moment for all Americans, regardless of race and gender.

The only job which you mean the president, the only again, the only reason that she's been chosen by the war machine to represent the face of imperialism is because she's a black woman, just like Barack Obama. When Barack Obama dropped more bombs than George Bush, nobody noticed because the Democrats are usually supposed to be the ones who are protesting war. And that's why the Wall Street protests.

And the military industrial complex loved having a black guy do their dirty work. It's like, no one's going to be upset that Barack, a black guy is bombing brown people. I believed in him. I was like, he's probably doing what he has to do. Yeah. I 100%.

He could sell it. He really could. When a black guy kicks 5.1 million families, not people, but families out of their homes while he makes sure the bankers got their bonuses, you think like, oh, it's a black guy doing it. He must be. Same thing. Now it's got a black woman. It's even better. It's even better. If she's got to bomb somebody, you know that it has to be done. And if she's got to kick some people out of their house when the banks crash again, it's got to be done. They love this.

Because the left goes to sleep. The left went to sleep during Barack Obama, and they never protested anything he did. And they're not going to protest her. And that's what the war machine wants, and that's what Wall Street wants. That's amazing to go into a deeper trance and then ironically call yourself woke. That's one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. The exact inverse of waking up. ♪

So this was, I just want to show you this. This was Time Magazine in January of 2023. It says, why ultra-processed foods are so bad for you. Everybody, Time Magazine's finally on the right side of history. They've got their heads on straight. I'm sure they're going to stick with this new health regimen as they move forward. And then August 18th, why one dietician is speaking up for ultra-processed foods.

It's time somebody did, Jimmy. Stop putting down ultra-processed food. They do a complete flip-flop over a year later. What happened in between? Well, what happened in between is Bobby Kennedy went on Fox News and said this about processed foods. Why is the food coloring in particular bad? Food coloring, you see here, yellow food coloring, that is a petroleum product. It's associated with really, you know, with...

With depression, it's associated with autoimmune injuries and ADHD. And red dye also is very bad. In Europe, the same companies are producing the same products, but they're using natural coloring. But here, they can get away with it. We have about...

almost a thousand chemicals that are in our food that are either outright banned in Europe or actively discouraged. So you wouldn't be able to buy this kind of stuff in Europe. You ask about why it's so cheap, why it's so ubiquitous.

It's because we subsidize the worst foods. We subsidize it with about 70% of our food stamp program is to process foods, which are all poison. Right. One of the things that's interesting is you'll see on labels, natural flavors, which is this catch-off phrase that I guess was lobbied for, but the ingredients in natural flavors are not really natural. No. In our country, natural flavors are chemical products. You can't trust what's on the ingredient label, and the reason for that, again, is government corruption. It's that the agency, the USDA agency,

The FDA have been captured by the industries they're supposed to regulate, and they all have an interest in subsidies and then in mass poisoning the American public. So that's what happened. So Time magazine went from telling you the truth about processed food for whatever reason, then Bobby Kennedy actually gets on Fox News, tells the truth about it, and like the next day, all of a sudden, hey, no, no, processed food's good.

Yeah. And who could be more reliable than a dietician? That's like a chiropractor. This one chiropractor says vaccines are good. I mean, what's wrong with petroleum? Bobby Kennedy, what's wrong with petroleum products? By the time most young men are 14 years old, they've absorbed enough Vaseline to start a grease fire. Come on, am I right? So here Joe Rogan heard about this.

And he went off on it. He went over this article. Watch this. We have a massive health crisis in this country. The obesity crisis is really legitimate. And it's terrifying that it's so prevalent and that no one's doing anything about it. And this is one of the things that RFK wants to do when he gets into office. And he's talking about seed oils and he's talking about a lot of different things that are terrible for health or ubiquitous.

and our diet and to put some regulations on that stuff and to recognize that these are real issues and to inform people that these are real issues and not just let these big food companies just keep... I saw a fucking article today in Time Magazine. It is... Wait a minute. Time Magazine is still... Time Magazine is still out there. Wow. See if you can find this cover of...

this article. It was, are super processed foods really bad for you? Oh, fuck. First of all, I like that they asked the question, Time Magazine. Are processed foods, aren't you supposed to answer the question? You're not supposed to ask the question. Isn't that like Google Maps? That's like Google Maps going, hey, how do you get there? Well, I like that everybody that works at Time Magazine, all the people that work there, I promise you, shop at Erewhon and they don't want to get processed foods for themselves.

So, here we go. Joe's got more to say about it. Seriously. This is the question. Instead of saying, wouldn't it be better to eat healthy, which everybody would agree, are super processed foods really that bad for you? Well, I can help you out there real quick. Yes. Here it is from yesterday.

Aren't as bad as you think. Oh, what if ultra processed food aren't as bad as you think? That's it. Well, they're not.

They're a lot worse! They're fucking terrible for you. What kind of bullshit argument is this? This is real. They are really bad for you. Jessica is passionate about the pupusas from Costco. Oh god, Jessica. How about I have a banana? And you get on the treadmill, you fucking idiot. Like, what are we talking about? I got a bag of pupusas. It's fucking- we're eating shit that's terrible bad- that's really bad for you. That's sort of what the next thing says, I guess.

Okay. It all started in the summer of 2023 when author and infectious disease physician, Dr. Chris Von Tuleken was promoting his book, Ultra Processed People. While writing it, Von Tuleken spent a month eating mostly foods like chips, soda, bag bread, frozen food, and cereal. What happened to me is exactly what the research says would happen to everyone. Von Tuleken says he felt worse. He gained weight. His hormone levels went crazy. And before and after MRI scans showed signs of changes in his brain.

As von Tuleken saw it, the experiment highlighted the terrible emergency of society's love affair with ultra-processed foods. Okay, but this next part is also really Wilson. Who specialized in working with clients from marginalized groups. Oh, marginalized groups. Was irked. She felt that von Tuleken's experiment was unethical.

over sensationalized that news coverage of it shamed people who regularly eat processed food shamed them that's what you get that kind of fucking language drives me goddamn crazy in other words the vast majority of americans particularly the so she's worth so this person's worried about people being shamed for eating poison instead of she's worried about them eating poison

Is this the one that was being paid off by Nabisco? Because way back when, breaking point, Saga did a whole thing about this new dietitian where it's like, no, you can be fat and have a lot of Oreos and

It was like trying to make it racial. Really? And that's because, yeah, and she was being paid off by Nabisco, it turned out. Oh, I wonder if this person's being paid off to say that. Okay, let's get back to Joe. ...who are food insecure or have limited access to fresh food. They also tend to be lower income and people of color. Yeah, they fucking covered the whole spectrum. Wilson felt the buzz ignored this food apartheid. Food apartheid. Fucking crazy. Oh, God.

as well as the massive diversity of foods that can be considered ultra-processed, a category that includes everything from vegan meat replacements, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you, and non-dairy milks, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you, to potato chips and candy, which, by the way, are really fucking bad for you. How can this entire category of foods be something we're supposed to avoid? Because it's not fucking food! It's not nutritious food!

I'm sorry. That's just Joe is being an obese-ist. That's what I think. He's prejudiced against the obese. By the way, speaking of obese, this is what used to be someone if you were that fat, which is very common today in America, they would put you in the circus. Wow. Every day is the circus now. That was the world's fattest man in 1890. He was so large enough to be considered a freak show in the circus. You could find that anywhere today.

Yeah. Go outside your house, swing a dead cat. You're going to hit somebody who looks like that. They mass produced those guys. Yeah, these are mass produced now. He was a prototype. Look at that. That used to be considered the world's fattest man. Yeah. It was just my 600-pound life. Remember that show, My 600-Pound Life? Yeah, that guy's probably not even 600 pounds. He's probably 450. I say he's probably 450. Well, right there. But by the end of his life, he hit 700. He did achieve his goals.

There's something severely wrong with them that now is a common thing, but back then was like, you know, the first of the mutations from the poison in the food. So Time Magazine got some money. This is my guess. Time Magazine got some money from Nabisco or from some processed food place or a couple of them or the Processed Food Organization of America and said, hey, well, tell people it's good. And so they did.

As soon as I heard that racial thing, I thought it was the same shit. And they turned it into a racial thing. They made it, it's like, you're a racist if you talk people, if you tell people about how bad processed food is. That means you're racist. Yeah. No, don't tell the people of color to stop eating poison. You're judging them. Okay. Okay. Keep eating poison.

A bunch of these people know this, too. That's the thing that's crazy, is a company is paying someone to make this some race bullshit. What percent of Americans have diabetes? An estimated 84 million people have pre-diabetes in America. And that's mostly people of color, I bet. And they say they don't know it.

Yeah. Well, if they don't know it, how do they know it? And if you know it, why don't you tell them? If they don't, just go tell them, hey, you're pre-diabetic. We found and figured it out. They'll be racist. I get that. Yes. Poor communities, communities of color live in what they call food deserts. And they end up eating a lot more processed food. But that doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to get...

unprocessed food in their neighborhoods right well there'll be gractivist groups who actively try to keep it out of their neighborhood that's good but that's crazy non-processed food out of their neighborhood that's what all those we know they're gonna open it a trader joe's and they're this is gentrification all these groups are bullshit they're all hired by some company that's competition and they pose it like it's a civil rights thing and it's not

Diabetes affects approximately 38.4 million people in the United States, while another estimated 97 have prediabetes. So this is from medicine.net. So that's 40 and that's almost like 140 million people. That's almost half the country is either diabetic or prediabetic. Mm hmm.

And an estimated 8.7 million people in the United States have diabetes and don't even know it. Well, if they don't know it, how do you know it? And if you know it, why don't you tell them? I don't understand this. How do you know they have it and they don't know it? It's very mysterious science.

Medical expenses for people with diabetes are over two times higher than those for people who do not have diabetes. So those numbers reflect only the population in the United States. Globally, the statistics are staggering. Diabetes is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States. I wonder what the first seven are. The reason diabetes is increasing can be attributed to one, obesity. We just did a video where a doctor was saying it's okay to be obese. Remember that?

Oh, oh, oh, Ozempic. Yes. That's why we need Ozempic more than ever. I'll be doing a story on Ozempic on Tuesday. Obesity, lack of that Midwestern doctor wrote a sub stack on obesity. I mean, on Ozempic. You're not going to believe it. So obesity, lack of physical activity, quantitative and qualitative changes in diet, awareness. That's a cause of diabetes. Awareness. Change in diagnostic criteria or aging population.

So there's type 2 and type 1. Most people... So type 1 is what you're born with. Type 2 is what you acquire, right? Type 1 is actually called an autoimmune disease. My friend got type 1, the one you're born with. He got it after his Johnson & Johnson shot for two weeks. I've heard...

And he went back to normal, but he had the one year born. I don't understand how that works. I've heard stories about that, but of course I can't verify the veracity of those claims. I listen to whatever the FDA and the CDC says. That's what, whatever they say. Well, they pulled that off the market. I mean, Johnson & Johnson. I'm not talking about the healthy mRNA. Oh, no, of course. The Johnson & Johnson, they had to take it off the market. Yeah.

Get more mRNA in your body for sure. Exposure to certain viral infections such as mumps or other environmental toxins may serve to trigger abnormal antibody response that cause damage to the pancreas cells where insulin is made. Some of the antibodies seen in type 1 diabetes include... Oh, so you can also... Oh, really? Yeah. Wow, I didn't know that. Type 2... Go ahead. How many years can you go on doing this before you have to say it's on purpose and not...

And not just that. I mean, like, how much do you have to do? Do they have to do before people go, oh, they're actually against me actively and everything's about exploiting me in some way. So a major feature of type two diabetes is a lack of sensitivity to insulin by the cells of the body, particularly the fat and muscle cells. OK, there is a known steady decline in beta. So, wow. So, OK, so this is all because you're eating crap.

It occurs mostly in individuals over 30, and the incidence increases with AIDS, but the alarming number of patients with type 2 diabetes are barely in their teen years. Most of these cases are a direct result of poor eating habits, higher body weight, and a lack of exercise. Yeah, like, you know, also known as being an American. Yeah.

These people that run this stuff, they think you deserve it. They're like, well, it's like ultimate eugenics, you know? Yeah. The most Nazi-esque, like, oh, well, if you're fat and stupid, you deserve what you get. It's not my fault for putting it out there. That is amazing. Time Magazine did that. A little over a year apart. Hey, these are bad for you? Hey, are they bad for you? I've got to start speaking up for ultra-processed foods.

Well, one dietician is speaking up for racial reasons. Yeah. That's really perverse. That's really a genuine, sickening thing. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up. It's the most affordable premium program in the business.
