Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for those tickets, and we're adding a second show in London. ♪

Hey, guess who's here with us? It's Due Dissidence. Keaton Weiss and Russell Dabular are the hosts of Due Dissidence show on YouTube, Rumble, and Substack. And they're here for us now. Say hello, fellas.

Hello. All right. I guess the audience missed us. It's been a while. Or should I say who dat? Oh, so. Who dat? Who dat?

So Keaton is fresh back from New Hampshire where he was on the ground meeting the people. And I did that in Des Moines. I went to the cover of the... Anyway, Dobular is over in New Orleans. He's in New Orleans. Interviewing Boosie, the famous rapper I see. And as you can tell from the background and lighting, I've joined a hipster voodoo cult. Yeah, I like it though. I really do. It looks nice. So...

Keaton went to New Hampshire, and he went to a Marianne Williamson rally. I don't know if you would call this actually a rally. What is it, like a meeting? It's like a Marianne Williamson luncheon. Yeah, it's more of a coffee clutch. And he got to ask her a question, and Marianne Williamson turns on the charm. Ha ha ha!

There we go. There we go. There we go. Hi there. Oh, sorry. No. First of all, I give you a lot of credit for staying in this race. Very nice. Suck up first. Here it comes. That's a little just get it. Just get it. It's a little range finder. I had gotten thrown out of a Dean Phillips rally the day before. So I didn't want to get thrown out of this one because I wanted to get my question answered.

By the way, what's Dean's slogan? You got to run out of Nikki Haley's that day, right? That day, yeah. Is Dean Phillips' slogan, who? Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

I didn't think there was any oxygen inside the Democratic Party for a primary challenge. I still don't think there's much oxygen for a primary challenge, but I do give you credit for you're in here less than 48 hours to go before the vote. And look at all these people here. At what point, though, do we say that the Democratic Party is the wrong road? You have these three great people here who are talking about feeding kids, children,

If we are not a majority of even the voting public or even the Democratic primary, you mentioned Dean Phillips. He's a walking pile of garbage. And he went from zero percent in the race a few months ago. Now he's pulling in the 30s.

you're down in single digits. I don't mean any disrespect by that. I'm just saying it's not necessarily because of the race you ran, and I don't agree with you on everything for sure. It's because of the... Hey, no disrespect, all right? But you're really doing shitty over it. No disrespect. I was very close with your uncle. You know I respect you. I'm just saying you're not really doing the right thing here. He always treated me fair.

Yeah, it was always in which you're running. Look around in the cash. You got morons on the street here saying we're going to write in Joe Biden. Joe Biden is not even running in this race. He's got people writing his name in 60, 70 percent. So if we can harness this energy that you're talking about, and I have a lot of respect for that vision, if we can harness this into mutual aid networks with the understanding that we are not a voting majority.

But we can harness this power in other ways to help each other survive the inevitable demise of this country, which we all know is coming. Do we not? I mean, we feel it, right? It's going to be Biden. It's going to be Trump. It's probably going to end up being Trump. So there you have it. Right. So what do we do at that point? I am 100 percent not in the union. All right. Fair enough. So what did she say? I'm 100 percent not what?

I am 100% not enrolled in your analysis. Oh, what does that mean? Meaning she thinks she's going to win. She's basically, I mean, you'll see at the video play, she gives the polls are rigged, polls are fake. Basically, I'm not polling in single digits. First of all, I'm still... I'm actually going to shock the world and win the primary. I'm in shock by your violent attack on both Marianne and democracy itself. I'm not enrolled in your attack, sir. I don't appreciate you mansplaining to her like that.

And let's go. Here we go. Here's her answer. First of all. Oh, they all agree that she's going to be the president. Okay.

They're writing him in, though. I'm sorry, I'll let you finish. But they're going to write him in. He's going to win as a writer. Okay.

No, I'm not coming from New Hampshire, but I'm reading the data. Okay, where do you come from? I'm from New York. Yeah, that sounds like a New Yorker talking to a New Hampshire guy. All right, well, the numbers don't lie. I don't mean any disrespect, Marianne. I really don't. Go ahead, go ahead. No, but a grandstander. That's what I'm saying, because he was disruptive. Go ahead. He was disruptive.

I'm not being disruptive. So in New Hampshire, what that guy's referencing is the fact that I had been thrown out of a Nikki Haley rally earlier that day. In New Hampshire, there are a lot of people who come to New Hampshire every four years. Just like if you're a horse racing fan, you go to the Kentucky Derby, you go to the Preakness. There are these like politics junkies who just go from event to event to event. So apparently that guy must have been at the Nikki Haley rally before.

This morning that I was throwing up. Okay, so now they've got you pegged as being disruptive. That's when you whisper to them, snitches get stitches, right? And she's also sniffed out that you're not from New Hampshire, which turns out to be a big sin. Let's listen.

A New Yorker coming to New England and telling them how they feel. I mean, that's really unniceable. Hold on just a moment. There is Marianne Williamson using the typical New Yorker blow-off in the same hack move as road comedians do. That's what that... Oh, you're from New York. Anyway... Is that what they do? As if she's more New Hampshire than New York, right? Like, she's a New York, L.A.,

She's acting like she's from New Hampshire, like she was raised on lobster and fucking corn cobs. She's the master of subtle divisionism. That's what that is with her. She's got that hypnotic tone. It slips right by some people don't even notice. She's like a Trojan horse, except there's nobody inside. Let's listen to the rest. Here we go. Hold on. One of the things I've learned about Granite State is that they keep things very close to their chest.

The other thing that I learned about Granite Sanders is how many people in the last few days haven't decided who they're voting for. But I have a good feeling they're not going to necessarily explain it to you. Okay? So we don't know. As far as the single digits, I mean, you said Dean Phillips and doing higher. I was in double digits in the national polls. And this is not just about the DNC. It's about the DNC, but it's also at least as much about money.

So, first of all, she just tries to dismiss your analysis and she's basically saying, oh, the people in New Hampshire are lying to you when you talk to them and they're lying to the pollsters because they're holding their opinions close to their chest. The phrase is close to the vest, but I'll give it to her. And so what did you make of her response, Keaton? You were there. What did you make of it?

Yeah, well, there's about she goes on for five more minutes. We're actually playing all of my New Hampshire footage on a live stream tonight at nine o'clock. So there's more there. But I wanted to give a sort of Twitter type video there for that, because that was the crux of her rebuke to my.

prediction that she's going to lose. She's going to come in a distant third. She's polling in the single digits. And she's basically giving the defense that a lot of these liberals like to bash Trump for whenever he gets an unfavorable poll. He says it's a fake poll. It's fake news, fake poll. The polls are rigged. That's what she's saying there. She's saying that, no, actually, the dozens of polls that have me in single digits are wrong because New Hampshire voters are

hold things close to the vest or chest, as she said. So, yeah, she's just giving a transparently nonsensical answer. Now, in fairness, I will say that, like,

She's running for office. It's two days before the vote. I didn't expect her to say, yeah, you know what? You're right. On second thought, this has all been a giant waste of time. Everybody go home and don't vote for me on Tuesday. Like I didn't expect for her to say that. I predicted that she would spin it somehow.

But the fake polls defense was so weak that I got the sense that the room was very receptive to what I said. There were well over 100 people in that room. She had actually a pretty big crowd for the size of the venue that it was. And you noticed some applause but not much when she gave me that New York thing. The business.

Yeah, exactly. So I sensed I had the room on my side for the most part because I saw a lot of people nodding along and really seemed to appreciate what I was saying.

And look, the proof is going to hit them tomorrow. We're going to find out in less than 48 hours who was telling the truth in that room and who was selling people a line of shit in that room. This has been our main critique of the Marianne campaign from day one.

Is that it's just it is a waste of time and more importantly, a waste of resources of working people to get involved in these dead end Democratic primary campaigns. In a sense, this was really a bookend to our friend Nick Cruz when he interviewed her way on early on in the campaign. He said working people.

spent a hundred million dollars trying to get bernie sanders a democratic nomination and what do we get for it nothing not only did he lose a nomination he sold out whatever movement he had and so we cannot afford to do this a third time we're not going to do it a third time this was uh... what we had to say about the marianne campaign from day one and so i thought with two days to go before the vote this would be a nice way to bookend this okay

You know, you did that interview with RBN a year ago where they told you this was their concern. You blew them off. Here we are a year later. Where are you? You're at 5%, 6%, 7% if you're lucky, which is where she's going to finish. She's not going to shock the world just like Ramaswamy was not going to shock the world. We said Vivek was going to lose big in Iowa and probably drop out, and a lot of his supporters came at us. The polls are fake.

What happened? Same thing's going to happen tomorrow with the Marianne campaign. Maybe you should read her book, A Course in Miracles. Yeah. Hey, maybe you should read her book. Marianne, I've got one more miracle to add to your list. Do you make it get past the primaries? I thought primaries were mythical stuff. What is she doing?

Well, here's what Nick says from RBN. He says she does realize she's running for president. Right. Her pointing out you from New York to deflect was such a scumbag move. Marion had no answer to your devastating criticism of her strategy. That's. And by the way, if.

If not being from New Hampshire means you shouldn't weigh in on the New Hampshire primary, why the hell does the New Hampshire primary count so much for the entire nation? Right. Right.

So last I heard, she's not running for president of New Hampshire. That's right. Oh, but also like the main reason I made that point. I mean, that was that was the point I wanted to make going in. But it just happened to be that she started out that event by highlighting some mutual aid activists. Apparently, the owner of that restaurant cooked meals for kids during the covid lockdowns.

And gave them out for free. So and she talked about that. So I'm like, OK, so rather than invest our hopes in pretending that you're going to have some progressive breakthrough inside this just transparently corrupt party, why not?

harness this energy why not use whatever powers in this room to help each other as the country goes to hell because the country is going to hell and it's going to hell mostly because the voters want it to um you know she says well 70 percent of democrats wanted somebody else to run well 90 percent of democrats say they want medicare for all but only 30 percent vote for it the democrats do what they're told what democratic voters say they want is fucking irrelevant

And so, you know, this is a lesson that we've been trying to impart to people as best we can over the course of our show, pretty much. And it's a lesson that these Democratic voters just refuse to learn. And she gets into some of that stuff later on in that answer. But her final rebuke was that, well, we can't give up. You're telling me to give up.

And I'm not telling you to give up. I'm telling you to give up on the Democratic Party. That's the difference. But these lifelong PMC Democrat types just can't make that break. They see surrendering the Democratic Party as a total surrender of activism, which it's not. Actually, the most nihilistic thing you can do is continue to run inside and therefore legitimize activism.

This just absolutely just rotten to the core organization that doesn't even deserve to call itself a political party. It's really not a legitimate party. I mean, Joe Biden, I mean, they're currently... She knows that, see, that's the whole thing. It's a game, right? But the people in that room...

I wish more of them realized that it was the game that it is because Marianne Williamson knows it's a game. She knows she's never going to get the nominee. She knows that they'll never let her. They wouldn't let Bernie Sanders, who was wildly more popular than she was, get the nomination. They're going to cheat, steal, and right out in public, they're doing it, right? They're rigging the primary as we're talking. Joe Biden won't debate anybody. They won't... They're not doing any... So...

What? You want to say? That's exactly right. And I thought the people in that room were reachable, which is why I ate a little shit. I didn't want to have it get hostile and get thrown out because I sensed that they were on my side. And when the crowd's on your side, you don't want to squander it by, you know, having the whole thing go to hell. So I let her give her answer. I trusted that...

People would see through it. If they didn't see through that answer, they're going to see through it in just over 24 hours when she comes in at five, six percent. Mariana, I'm not saying you should quit. I'm just saying a pie has a better chance in a fight with Chris Christie. So your point is that it's time to give up on the Democratic Party, which was the point of this show in 2016.

And that Marianne Williamson and those people need to come to face facts. Donald Trump's going to be president, most likely. And so what do you do from there? And they don't, she doesn't have a plan to do anything from there. She doesn't, and she was never going to give up on the Democratic Party because so after she loses, she could take her place in the pantheon of progressives who ran for fun in book deals. Right.

That's what this actually is. And her own staff said she was running for a book deal. And, you know, when she came on the show, she was just as uninformed as she was the first time she ran. And she's not really that interested in things. But she has a lot of good slogans. Like, we don't have a health care system. We have a sick care system. She says shit like that. It's not what it should.

You should make a calendar of her sayings. I mean, it was like a 2016 rally talking about the legacy of FDR and how the Democrats have abandoned their roots and blah, blah, blah. Yeah, we've known this for a decade. We've known this. Exactly. Exactly. We've known this. And, you know, one of the reasons why your following is as loyal as they are is because you were really first on this. You beat me to it. I mean, I didn't vote for Biden in 2020, but, you know, I held out hope for the Democrats longer than I should have.

And that is something that I look back on with regret. But at this point, I mean, if you're still giving a stump speech talking about how the Democrats need to return to FDR, that's like telling McDonald's they should give up the pink slime and go back to real meat. McDonald's got rich off the pink slime. They're not going to go back to making real hamburgers. They switched to pink slime for a reason because it was profitable, made them money.

Democrats are the same way. They're not turning back. There's a reason they switched business models in the first place. She's like an antidepressant for the disaffected Democrats. I mean, you know what I mean? Or the ones who are still going to vote Democrat. Put it that way. Are you walking around in a state of dull fog and confusion? Ask your doctor if Marion X is right for you. Hey, you guys say Dem exit, but Joe Biden says Dementor.

It says a lot. I've noticed this lately with Libs, and whenever I see them all with the same talking points at the same time, it tells me it must have appeared in an op-ed in the Boston Globe that everybody copied afterwards. They all keep referencing FDR. All right, well, what does that say about your shit party that you have to go that far back to find some justification for the existence of the Democrats? You have to go back to FDR.

Not Kennedy, not Carter, not Clinton. You have to go back to FDR to say something good about the Democrats. What do you mean? Go back to Jimmy Carter and deregulating the trucking industry. Wasn't that fantastic? Well, that's why they can't invoke him. I mean, they don't invoke him because he's been so maligned for other reasons. But yeah, you have to go back to FDR.

to find a Democratic president. And really, no, I was arguing with a lib at that theater party that I was at, and that's what he did. He went back to FDR. I said, are you fucking kidding me? Are you kidding me? FDR, you're talking about it? What about Bill Clinton? What about Bill Clinton who handed the country's manufacturing...

off to overseas. That is how you got Donald Trump. That was the beginning of the end. Well, Reagan, yes, and Clinton did things Reagan couldn't have done in his wildest dreams. He followed Reagan's lead. Well, he couldn't do things that George Bush I couldn't do, which was NAFTA. Bill Clinton got that done. He then deregulated the media, took us from 50 giant media companies down to six. He then gutted welfare. At the same time, he exploded the prison population.

And then he deregulated Wall Street, which crashed the economy within 10 years. And who did it hurt the most? Black and brown people, poor people. And he wanted to privatize Social Security, but Monica Lewinsky's blowjob saved us from that. That's a fact. Yes, right. So...

I mean, he was Ronald Reagan and so was, I mean. On steroids. And guess who else said he was Ronald Reagan? Barack Obama. He said if this was the 1980s, my policies would be considered center-right policies because he was Ronald Reagan again.

And he was a guy who looked good, who was screwing the workers and screwing up everybody. And by the way, exploding drilling and anyway, the whole thing. And his health care plan was nothing but a giveaway to the health insurance companies and big pharma. And.

Barack Obama then repealed habeas corpus and he made it okay for the CIA and the FBI to do propaganda on Americans, which we're going to talk about in a second coming up in just a second, because they've been doing it nonstop.

Non-stop. What do you think? There's been so many things that have been our own government doing propaganda on us since they, why do you think they repealed that law for kicks? Cause they weren't going to do it. No, to give baseball to Cuba. It was, they were broadcasting propaganda and Cuba loves baseball. And we're like, it's technically illegal. Can we make it legal? So Cuba can hear baseball. And that's why they did it. And you guys are making experiences about it.

It is just amazing as we start to go into the election cycle in earnest to watch Democrats start to close ranks around this mummy. They went after Maureen Dowd. Oh, yeah. Is anyone more of a committed Pelosi-style shit lib than Maureen Dowd? And she pointed out the obvious. We're looking at a race between two octogenarian narcissists.

How can you compare Joe Biden to Donald Trump? I know that because I...

You can't because Biden's been a lot worse for this country. Neither of them have been great. Don't get me wrong. There's no winners in a Donald Trump presidency or a Joe Biden presidency except military-industrial complex, big oil, big pharma, Wall Street, and the like. Well, that's why it's good to have a mummy as the president, I would think. But they always go, oh, but he's too old. And that, like, being polite to not say obviously demented...

somehow every time he gets brought up, they're like, yeah, but lots of people are old. I don't care if you're old. My grandfather's brain worked till he died in 96. By the way, Biden's brain did work. It wasn't that great. Wasn't that great either. No, it was not a great. He was a plagiarist. His nickname was Uncle Joe. That's a nickname of a guy that's brain doesn't work. Yeah.

OK, do you know that's all Uncle Joe for you real quick? Do you think if Trump gets elected again, do you think it was a fluke that he didn't start a war in his first term and that he definitely will get on board with the military industrial complex in his second term? Or what do you or do you think that he's actually is a non non interventionist? I'm not sure about that. What do you think?

I, you know, Bob Woodward wrote a book about the administration and look, Bob Woodward's a lib, but he's also an old school journalist. So I actually trust that his reporting is accurate. He's one of the last of the Mohicans. He believes that you have to report facts, right? He may be a lib, but he still adheres to that standard.

And that is an episode that was in his book. I can't remember what the name of it was. It was about like the first couple of years of the Trump administration. He described something that I thought was very revealing about Trump for the first time having to call military families who had lost their children. And he describes him being really disturbed by having to do that. And that makes a lot of sense to me.

The kind of evil that you will have inured yourself to if you came up through politics is a level of evil that being a New York real estate tycoon scumbag just does not prepare you for. He was not prepared for that side of the job of being this mass murderer in chief. Fucking a contractor is one thing, killing people's kids and then calling them to say sorry about that. That's a whole other thing.

I think that is honestly a big part of why Donald Trump did not start any wars. I think he doesn't really want to be put in that position. I think it disturbs him in a way that somebody who started out in politics wouldn't be. So he doesn't have the stomach for it.

Yeah. I mean, based on that story, it sounds that way. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

Joanne Reed had this woman on from the Moms for Liberty, and they want to ban some of the books that have explicit sexual stuff in them. And Joanne Reed is against that. She's for keeping the explicit sexual books in the school library. So let's just play a little bit of this fascinating interview, and we'll talk about it. Hold on a second. Well, no, Joanne, but I want to be clear. No one's banning books. Write the book. Print the book. First of all...

joya reed's hair uh apparently she's she's gonna leave to go do a donald trump look-alike contest after this i don't know what she's doing hang on i thought i thought she was decolonized it was joy reed decolonized that's a very strange choice for somebody who's so decolonized she's doing tyler the creator the igor album that did very well beat out dj khaled uh

So now I'm 58, but I'm glad that you're here to make those references. I don't get that. I know they're funny if I would get them. All right. Rush, do you know what he's talking about?

That went over my head. Tyler, the creator. You know what? On Saturday, I'm going to show a clip of her with the same hair. I'll give you the picture. And then I'm going to put the picture up. That's all we need to do, really. Yeah. Okay. And by the way, Dave Chappelle did that first. He did a character where he wore a wig just like that. As what, though? I forget, but he wore a wig like that. You know, I just...

I mean, that that is that is just so bizarre because her whole stock and trade is, you know, white people won't vote for Nikki Haley except in South Carolina. And that's why she can't win the Republican primary. Why would you dye your hair blonde if this is your whole brand is attacking white people? Why would you do that? I thought she was inspired by Kyle Kalinske.

Oh, that's it? That's what I thought. It's a bohemian grove thing. This is what, Jimmy, I'm trying to egg you on to explain the blonde hair bohemian grove. Okay, the blonde, whatever. Why is it a bull haircut? That's really the main question. That is also confusing. Dylan Roof hair is what it is. Okay. Well, no, she's a big Three Stooges fan. Oh, it's a moe. It's a moe. It is the moe.

Well. Publish the book. Put the book in the public library. Sell the book, right? So this Moms of Liberty makes the case that I'm not trying to ban the book. Go ahead, print it. Put it in a public library. Just don't put it in a school library. What about a public school library? Children don't have unfettered access to the internet at school. I did a FOIA records request. First of all, I think it's hilarious that they pretend that kids read books. I don't know.

Since when did American kids read books? Do they churn butter and play hoop and stick too? Are they talking about the libraries at Amish schools? What are they talking about? Anyway, okay, here we go. And I wanted to see what kinds of internet sites...

are banned in schools. We're going to talk about banning, right? And the subject matter in the books that moms are concerned about are the same things that kids don't have access to on the internet. So it just feels very hypocritical, right? Why is no one out there protesting for, you know, free the internet in schools? Let me give you an example of some of the books that have been removed.

But she does not answer. She does not answer that at all. That's too logical. No, that's right. So that's exactly right. Why don't they want to free the Internet? They don't have any problem censoring the Internet from certain sexual things. And by the way, what do you want a transsexual substitute teacher to read to the students during their pole dance? Dick and Jane? Actually, that might work. Okay. Michelle.

So here, so she makes, again, yeah, so Joanne Reed, boy, that hair, I can't get past it. It's like she's on Saturday Night Live doing a character. It's like, okay, so here. It's like when a cartoon character, like a mop falls on their head. Yes. And they get up. Yes. And they have like a beetle shag. Yeah. Yes. So she won't answer that question. That was a great question that the Moms of Liberty actually had for Joanne Reed. Why don't you care about open access to the internet for these kids?

Why isn't anybody out there doing that, right? It just ignores it. Completely ignores it. Doesn't even answer that. Water off a duck's ass. And now here's some of the- Literally with that haircut. Here we go. The N-word, anything, words like you just used. You'll get out-of-context passages from the book. And then based on that, Moms for Liberty members are going to places like Broward County School Board meetings, reading out-of-context passages from these books, and then demanding that the school board remove them.

So what that is the way. Yeah. The question I'm asking is, what is the expertise that you have and other Moms for Liberty advocates have to decide that a book, an award winning book like All Boys Are Blue isn't appropriate for students to read? What is your expertise? An expertise on what? Straw man arguments? Is that what she needs to have?

What the? Okay, let's play a little bit more. Broward County. Again, reading? You said Broward County. Broward County. And reading. Unless there's a lot of pictures in these books. Well, there are. That's part of the problem, Jimmy. Oh, okay. Here we go. Story of a young man who's annually raped by his adult family member. So you have incest, rape, pedophilia. Joy, you said you'd let me answer, so I'm going to answer for you. In what context is a strap-on dildo acceptable for public school? Just briefly.

I mean, that's my question to you. Tell me what the context around the strap-on dildo or the rape of a minor child by a teacher... Hold on a second. No, no, no. We're talking about public school. One moment. So now you've asked me the question. Sure. I'm going to answer it. Okay. Well, who is the main character? What's the name of the main character in All Boys in Blue?

You're asking me right now. You just gave me very specific information about this book. So you're presenting yourself as somebody expert. It's the gentleman. Who's the main character? The main character is the author. Who's that? What's his name? George, I believe, is his first name. Because you're giving me very specific information that is. You're asking me to remember the name of an author. So that actually this is this is the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard in my life. Unless you can tell me the name of the main character in the book.

I'm not going to answer. She doesn't answer her question, by the way. She doesn't answer it. She asked, in what context is a strap-on dildo okay in a book for children? And she says, well, do you know the name of the main character? And if you don't, then I guess you're not qualified to make that point that strap-on dildos are not appropriate. I don't know exactly. You don't remember other kids' books like The Cat in the Hat, Ass to Ass, and...

I looked it up in Wikipedia. This is – I think we've all been pleasantly surprised at the position that Joy Reid has taken on Palestine. But back to true to form, she is one of the biggest scumbags in the media. And this interview is really an illustration of why.

She will not answer questions because the things that this woman is saying cannot be answered. You cannot answer them. So she just keeps redirecting and misdirecting to other ground using lawyer tricks to get around directly answering her. Who gives a shit if she knows the name of the main character? Why?

What she just described by the standards of any reasonable person does not belong in a public school. She's not taking the extreme position. She's not saying ban the book. She's not even saying it shouldn't be in public libraries, just public schools. Who do the people who run these networks think the audience is of parents who are clamoring

for their grade school children to be exposed to material like that. And you know what? If you are a parent who is comfortable with that, you are free to give your child that book. Why is it the right of the state to make that decision? Well, the interview gets even worse. Go ahead. The context where I can answer that question and you can answer when is it the right context to talk about strap-ons in required strap-on class, obviously. Yeah.

In dildo class. You can't graduate on 30 credits in dildo class. What's his name? George, I believe, is his first name. Because you're giving me very specific information that is... You're asking me to remember the name of an author. The name of the author doesn't... You just remembered very specific names. Joy. Here's my question. You're talking about... You didn't answer my question. No, no, no. I'm going to answer your question. Great. I would love to hear that. Absolutely. Well, I'm interviewing you and you're not interviewing me, so let's just make sure it's a conversation. Okay. So what I'm saying to you is that as you are not an expert in this book... I don't have to...

No, no, no. Hold on a second. One moment. I mean, this book is a full context story, as you said, of the author's experience. Why is it your right or a Moms for Liberty activist's right to say that a parent who wants their child to have access to this book, which gives a personal experience of this author,

that they why doesn't a liberal parent for instance or a parent of an lgbtq kid why don't they have a right for their child to just have access to this book why is it your right to say they can't so again we're talking about incest rape and pedophilia and each parent each parent has to decide what is appropriate for their child to read so i want you to answer i'm going to ask you one more time what is your right to tell a parent who wants their child who might feel seen by this story why don't they have them i don't

My child feels seen in this story about incest rape. Are you kidding? All the buzzwords. That's why I say this is neuro-linguistic programming.

They have certain phrases and certain words that automatically invoke moral authority that you're not allowed to question. That's why you get all this bizarre jargon like fill in the blank bodies. Who talks like that? You stop calling them bodies. This impacts these bodies. Who talks like that? What do you talk? What did you get here from Mars? What the fuck are you talking about? These bodies. That's it. That's the purpose of it.

The purpose of it is to create a set of linguistic tricks that do not allow disagreement or debate.

Moving through space. Yeah, what the fuck does that mean? Walking through space. What did you arrive here from the fourth dimension? What the fuck are you talking about moving through space? When the hell did My Truth, all these same people that yelled at, who was it, Kellyanne Conway or alternate facts, these are the same people who were blathering My Truth.

Oprah Democrats. Oh, can I just say my truth? It's like an old lady talking about soap operas, but you can't say she calls them my stories. Like you can't call it the thing that it is for some reason because you're like ashamed of it. And if what if what you're talking about is a child who was raped by an adult and has written a memoir about their later experiences in the gay world with strap ons and such.

The proper place for that person to work that out is probably with a therapist, counseling. It is probably not in the public school library. Well, it gets even crazier. So now Joy Ann Reed says that this is so she's making the case, I think, that it's OK to have this strap on thing in this book for children at a public school school library because some kids might have also been raped.

and then they feel seen

because it's in this book that they see in there. Stop spying on me. That's what I would say. So watch this. It gets even worse. Watch. They have the right as a parent to say, my child can have access to this book. If a child feels seen by this story, that means that they have been the victim of a predator. That means that they have either been raged by a family member. And that's exactly what she, so she just is making a great, again, the mom's up liberty lady is making it. If they feel seen, that means that they've been a victim of a predator. Right.

And watch what Joanne Reed says back to this. They've experienced. And your proof of that is what? You just said that the child feels seen. She says, and your proof of that is what? No, you just said that. Right. Does Joy know the main character's name? I bet you don't. Joy, you just said that they feel seen by being feel seen. That means that that's their story. Their story is the same. That's what feel seen means. And now she's saying that.

She's contradicting herself here to try to win some moment in an argument. Wait, wasn't she the one that she had all that anti-gay stuff? Yeah, of course she did. She got hacked. She hates gay. By the way that she has, she hates gay people. And now she's pretending now. So now she has to do this to make up for all that ugly stuff. She wrote about gay people. That's what this is. She's pretending to champion gay things and all things gay because she got caught saying despicable things about just,

Regular gay people. Oh, part of her punishment for that is she has to say this dumb shit and wear a dunce wig. Yes. She's got a dunce wig. This is so hard. Even for Joanne Reed, this is hard to believe. What do you want to say? Okay, so, because I was like, what is this book? I want to look it up when I saw this. So, Wikipedia. Remember when you thought CRT was a made-up thing? Yes, I did. So, Wikipedia, around the time when these things become controversial...

Okay, this is the plot. I was like, well, what's the story about? What's the name of the book? The Boy Blue or whatever? All Boys Aren't Blue. Okay. Okay? And it's based on a response to a play called In Moonlight, Black Boys Look Blue.

That's the play that the movie was based on. Right. So this is an answer to that title. Here's plot. Ready? The book discusses consent agency and sexual abuse alongside various other topics. It also describes two sexual encounters and statutory rape. Doesn't mention the main character, though. There's no way to cliff notes that if you want to know. So that's on purpose. They're making that real vague because this is some kind of hot topic. Getting this book into school.

Yeah, that's a lot. Kids, if you've got to do a book report, stick with the old man in the seat. That's nice and simple. Easy. One character. Not much going on. Oh, geez. Easy. Rick Overton said she's got Ben Stiller's simple jack hair. That's what that is. Wow.

I want you to answer. I'm going to ask you one more time. What is your right to tell a parent who wants their child who might feel seen by this story? Why don't they have the right? Why don't they have the right as a parent to say my child can have access to this book? If a child feels seen by this story, that means that they have been the victim of a predator. That means that they have either been raped by a family member. They've experienced. And your proof of that is what you just said. What's your proof of that? Seen by this story. No, no, no, no, no.

You're now making assumptions. No, but if the child has been raped, we should do a lot better than put a book on the library shelf. Now you're literally creating a story behind a child that you don't know. Let me show you a form. This is a form.

Joanne Reed just said that this is for kids who have feel seen, meaning that their story is the same as the story in this book, where they've been raped by a predator. And then she goes, oh, you're making that up. You have nothing to base that on. That's what Joanne Reed just did. She just made it up that there's some kid out there who shares this story, and she's just saying, well, if she does share this story, that means they've been raped by a predator. And Joanne Reed goes, well, you're making that up. That

That I can't even. And that is so. Go ahead.

Well, and she's trying to debate on grounds that the mother – that the mom – pretty woman. She's debating on those grounds. She is saying if you want your child to read that, you can, right? It can be in the public school library. You can give your – not at the public library. Just not at the public school library. And this is why I know MSNBC lives with kids. I worry for the kids.

Because you talk to them and they are so fucking brainwashed and so easily programmed. They'll defend these ideas. I personally worry for the kids of parents like that because they are mindless. They're just mindless. Where is the limit? Because if anyone had told you before they hypnotized you into believing this, you know what? For Christmas, I'm giving your kid this book is gay. They would have punched you right in the mouth.

How easily were so many of these people who usually have these professional managerial class jobs, they're well-educated, be led into thinking that this is some kind of a cause to make sure that children have absolute access to books about anal rape? Because they don't care about their kids. How did that happen? They're narcissists. It's called...

Munchausen, all that kind of shit, that's liberal friend parents. Well, that's the worst transgender thing, which I think that's an interesting take on a lot of it. Let's listen to the rest of this, whatever I have in this clip. Let's listen. That can be obtained in Broward County, Florida. I'm going to show it to the audience, and then I'm going to show it to you. This is called the Optima. Yeah, please, I'm going to hand it to you.

It's called the opt-out form. Okay. An opt-out form would allow any parent, because you said you are in favor of parental rights. I am. It would allow any parent to opt out of their child being able to take books out of the library without their parent's permission.

So Joanne Reed thinks she has a slam dunk here. She presents this to the Moms of Liberty saying, here's an opt out form. Why can't we just say these are if you don't want your kid to read that book that's in the public school library, then you can sign an opt out form. And what is Moms of Liberty response to this? So that Moms for Liberty, why not advocate that every school in America have an opt out form so that a parent who doesn't want their child to access a book like All Boys Are Blue, they can make that choice because then each parent

including a liberal parent, a black parent, a parent who wants their child to read a book about African-American history. They want children to read books. Why not just opt out for yourself rather than tell other parents what they can and cannot. First of all, I think what you're talking about here is a wonderful step in the right direction. I didn't see that coming. She agreed with you. That's a great step in the right direction. Give parents the opportunity to opt out of stuff like this. I did. I don't think Joyce saw that coming.

Well, because this woman is reasonable. She's not what Joy Reid wanted. She wants a foaming at the mouth, Marjorie Taylor Greene style social conservative, which she is clearly not. Most of the people I talk to who are critical of gender theory, who are critical of drag brunch, are liberals. They're usually Democrats, honestly, who just have refused to take the Kool-Aid. And let me just...

Play this, show you this. In Burbank, California, which is right down the street from me, which is a blue city, meaning Democrat, this is the books they've banned at that school. Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, Theodore Taylor's The K, Mildred D. Taylor's Newbery Medal-winning young adult classic Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry,

And by the way, the challenges came from four parents, three of them black for the alleged potential harm to the public school districts, roughly 400 black students. And then all but Huckleberry Finn has been required reading in the Burbank Unified School District. All of all but Huckleberry Finn have been. So all of these have been required reading except for Huckleberry Finn. And it was black parents who.

Who? So this is not your moms of liberty wanting this stuff banned. These are Democrats voting Democrat. These are African-American Democrats asking their school public library to ban these books. You don't remember that from years ago? Well, they know the big Huckleberry Finn. We got to get Huckleberry Finn out of the school because the N word and it could be damaging.

Yeah, they never talk about it from the other side. You have Irreversible Damage, which is a book examining rapid-onset gender dysphoria, where you have

These, you know, teenage girls who have never shown any sign of gender dysphoria all of a sudden watch a TikTok video and want puberty blockers. There has been a big move to try to ban that book. Target actually removed it at one point under pressure. The staff at the publishing house for Jordan Peterson said,

did a big protest against their own publisher with the obligatory weeping and gnashing of teeth at a meeting trying to get them not to publish Jordan Peterson's last book. So you just don't hear about it from that end. But it's certainly book banning comes from that end. They just don't see it as book banning when they do it. Well, here's from the Los Angeles Times. They say the charge against those books is racism.

And it has been invoked in the past. But in contrast to earlier fights across the country, this one is heavily inflected by an atmosphere of urgent reckoning as both opponents and defenders of those novels claim the mantle of anti-racism. Because these books show they're exposing racism. These are lessons you're supposed to learn. They're pro-racism. Anti-racists don't like the... So To Kill a Mockingbird, one I had to read in school, which is a good book,

Back when all the there should be no due process for sex crimes. I remember going, nobody read To Kill a Mockingbird where black man gets blamed and didn't do anything. Right. And no, we better stop reading that. All of my, oh, the K I read. All these things that they're not putting forth that stupid like crit theory thing.

uh, version of every single topic. So things to be against racism, that's not anti-racism. Anti-racism is, I guess, racism really. So of course you want to get rid of those.

They don't want anything fostering understanding between races. They want things blocked off. The only thing that can be mixed up is gender. Racial segregation, Thanksgiving slop of gender. That's the policy. And by the way, of mice and men, what's the deal with of mice and men? Is that because there's violence against a mentally challenged guy who kills animals? That would be my guess. Who kills animals and people by accident? I don't see what the problem is. Our country's being led by one of those guys.

Yeah. For like the third or second or third time, I think. Well, what's funny is the Libs love to kill a mockingbird because of the way that it treats poor whites. They love that. That's an anti-Magna story. Yeah, exactly. It makes the poor whites seem like the deplorables, right? And that's why they didn't like when she wrote the follow-up to...

That book. And it turned out that he was actually in the Klan. Did you know that? Right. Yeah. That's why that book didn't get any traction. Wait, which one was in the Klan? Not Boo Radley, the slow guy. No, the. No, no, the lawyer. The lawyer. Atticus Finch. Atticus Finch. What a weird plot turn. What a weird plot twist, right? Yeah. Well, that's why Aaron Sorkin adapted it for Broadway. The Libs love that book.

And now the... Yeah, those Aaron Sorkin liberals, that's the ones that they're talking about that, like, they're cool with their kids having butt plug class or whatever. Those are the ones who found West Wing inspiring. Yeah. They're the biggest dipshits in the world, and none of them... It's like watching people realize that equity and equality don't mean the same thing. And I mean, probably going back 12 years, I can recall trying to explain this to these people, and now they're old, and they're just like, oh, whatever the kids say is good. I mean...

Why don't you go to church if you're going to be this brain dead and just let the priest do whatever he wants? Go to church. Go to church.

We can say this much for the IDF. They are doing a lot of remodeling. You know, demo work, I don't have to tell you, is very expensive. So they're helping the people of Gaza by clearing all their universities and cultural institutions. So they blew up the University of Palestine with 315 mines.

All the universities in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed. We need a full academic boycott. I would not hold my breath if you haven't noticed. Our academics are not what one would call profiles in courage. So let's see what happened.

Yeah, no, they're fighting Hamas. All right. That was very effective against Hamas. Hamas was in their, uh, reading at the time. Uh,

You can only mine this from Arnaud Bertrand. You can only mine a university like this if it's not an active fighting zone. Otherwise, you'd bomb it. Meaning destroying the university wasn't done to hunt Hamas fighters there, but instead as part of an effort to destroy Gazan civil society, presumably to prevent the eventual resumption of normal life.

This is further confirmed by the fact that all universities in Gaza have now been damaged or destroyed. Yes, they are trying to make it unlivable. They are just destroying everything.

That these people have. So this is reporter Matt Lee pushing our our favorite vampires familiar at the State Department, Mr. Miller, on the destruction of that university.

Based on Said's question about the demolition of the university, I don't know if you've seen the video. It's pretty widely available. I have seen the video. I mean, it looks like a controlled demolition. It looks like what we do here in this country when we're taking down an old hotel or a stadium.

And you have nothing to say? Nothing to say about this? I mean, to do that kind of an explosion, you need to be in there, you have to put the explosives down, and it takes a lot of planning and preparation to do. And if there was a threat from this particular facility...

they wouldn't have been able to do it. So I have seen the video. I can tell you that it is something we are raising with the governor of Israel, as we do often do. Raising as what? To ask questions and find out what the underlying situation is, as we often do when we see reports of this nature.

but I'm not able to characterize the actual facts on the ground before hearing that response. But you saw the video. I did see the video. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what was under that building. I don't know what was under that building. I don't know what was inside. It doesn't matter what was under the building because they obviously got in there to put these forces down to do it in the way that they did. Again, I'm...

glad you have factual certainty about it. I just don't. All I have is what I saw in the video. I just don't. And I think you guys saw it too. We did see it. I can say that we have raised it with the government of Israel. And it's not troubling to you? We are always troubled by any degradation of civilian infrastructure in Gaza, but without knowing the actual underlying circumstances, I'm a little hesitant, I think for reasons that should be understandable, to pass definitive judgment on it from this podium.

The sky is like three levels below a tobacco company advertising agency. He's the one that left when Trump got in because he couldn't believe the lack of like it was so dishonorable that Trump was in. So he resigned his position. Then he came back when Biden got in and he's been doing a great job ever since because honor and dignity, et cetera. We're troubled by the degradation of any infrastructure. The whole fucking place.

has been bombed out. It's like the surface of the moon. I didn't say we're mad, we're just troubled. And we saw in our earlier segment what kind of leverage they have with the Israelis. Go fuck yourself. No two-state solution. We're going to control it. One might say from the river to the sea. Oh, he actually said that. So this is also Nicola Perugini saying,

It's a systematic practice of detonation and destruction of the Palestinian higher education sector in Gaza. This is the Faculty of Medicine of the Islamic University at the beginning of December. Why? For what reason? What does he say?

Yeah, that's their like, that's like their pro-Israel battle cry. I don't even know how that translates.

because as you all know, they kicked me out of Hebrew school once they figured out what they were dealing with. This is the 21st century equivalent of the Romans salting the earth in Carthage. That's exactly what it is. That's exactly what it is. That salting the earth thing has never happened. First of all, that wouldn't work. It would be washed away, the salt. They also got paid in salt. It's kind of crazy. All right, guys, get your paychecks. We're going to dump salt on the ground. Somebody wrote that as a phrasing. It became a thing, but they never did that.

The salt of the earth, not real. You're saying my old neighbor was able to replant their garden after that? Your old neighbor what? Was able to replant their garden after I salted it?

God damn it. That took me like all afternoon. You'd never be able to put enough salt for that to happen. I'm going to have to look that up. You know what? When I come back, we're going to talk about this. We're going to do a whole segment about salting the earth. No, I know. Well, sometimes they did.

What if we kept the field and used it ourselves? No, we're going to use your pay to ruin it. But it doesn't ruin it. To be fair, that would not be the first time in history that an army or an imperial power simply made a gesture. In fact...

We have a segment later in which our illustrious leader mentions how ineffective bombing the Houthis are. And yet we're going to continue. Spoiler alert. Anything else, Keaton?

Well, yeah, this destruction of universities, this destruction of hospitals, just the destruction of the buildings themselves is part of a campaign of genocide. It's actual genocide. Zionists like to get semantical with this. They like to say, well, genocide means you're eliminating a race from the face of the earth. No, no, no. The UN Genocide Convention, Article 2,

Section C, I'll read from it right now, deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part, i.e., blowing up their schools and their hospitals. That demonstrates genocidal intent, according to the letter of the law.

Now, the Zionists don't like to interpret things according to the letter of the law. They like to say, well, genocide. They like to break apart the word and say that unless you are explicit in your intent to kill every Arab on Earth, you can't be committing genocide. That's nonsense. That is an act of genocide. Blowing up 169 health centers, leveling universities that are empty for no other reason than to destroy it. This fucking guy, we don't know what was under it. Suck my... I don't want to get in trouble. Anyway...

It's genocide. It's genocide to the letter of the law. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up. It's the most affordable premium program in the business.
