Well, listen, breaking news. Trump New York fraud bond was cut from a to one hundred and seventy million dollars from the appeals court. It was four hundred and fifty four million.
So this is what the liberal class thinks they're doing, what the establishment, the donor class, and Republican and Democratic Party, what they think they're doing is they think they're hurting Trump by doing this. They might be hurting him financially. They might be causing super big headaches for him. But what they're actually doing is making him more popular.
And if they go in and seize his house, if they seize Mar-a-Lago, he is a shoo-in to win the presidency, unless they rig it, right? Which is, I mean, they'd kill Kennedy. They'd kill a million people in Iraq. They'll kill a couple hundred thousand people in Ukraine. They'll coup every government from here to Timbuktu. But they wouldn't throw their own election? Of course they would. So Donald Trump, so they...
They got that corrupt judge and that corrupt attorney general. And by the way, this is not me being a fan of Donald Trump. This is me being a fan of actual law and order and an enemy of political prosecutions because that's what this is. Let's remember what this is about. They said that Trump inflated the value of his property so he could get a loan from the bank.
Well, that's what every real estate agent does. And then the bank does their due diligence and the bank figures out what they think it's worth. And then they the bank says, yeah, we'll give you a loan. They gave him the loan. Trump paid the loan back. Everybody made money. There's no victim here. And so this is what this is. This is the quintessential political prosecution. And so they're trying to bankrupt him before the election. And that's what this is.
And so he just got an appeals court to cut that. So he lost that case because that judge was completely corrupt, declared him guilty before it even started. But you can't find anybody with any power to actually stand up against this because the donor class runs everything. There's only, again, six media companies owned by the same people who want to do this to him. So Donald Trump, a billionaire, somehow is an outsider, right?
He is, especially to the donor class. That's the important people in America. So the people with the money that actually run the country, it's not the Congress, it's not the president, it's the donor class, right? It's the people with the money. It's the billionaires, the same people who run your media, right? And so...
That they're doing this to him and everybody. But most people certainly see what's happening now. Half the country or I would say, I don't know, a quarter of the country, the people who call themselves Democrats. Let's remember the biggest voting bloc in America are the people who don't vote.
The second biggest voting bloc are people who consider themselves independents. And then much smaller blocs are the Democrats and Republicans. So keep that. About 25% of the country considers themselves a Democrat. About 25% of the country considers themselves a Republican. And so you got 25% of the country cheering this stuff on, which shows that they have no values whatsoever, that they're willing to become a monster to fight what they consider to be a monster.
But Donald Trump was already president for four years. And he to me, he governed like a regular Republican, except he didn't start any wars. That'd be that. That's the thing they really hate the most is that he won't do the wars like they want. And so and I have the courage to say that I have the courage to to have people call me a Trumper like Cornel West did when he came on the show. I have the I have the courage to stand up to that kind of slander.
Unlike Cornel West, because he'll never really oppose the liberal class because he's a part of it. He's lived in ivory towers his whole career. And we need people like that. Right. And you have a lot of people who you would think would stand up and be screaming about this. They're still fighting battles from 10, 15 years ago. Talking, they're worried. I swear to God, they were. My old roommate worried about the Christian fascists. That's what they're saying.
They're worrying about the Christian. They want to set up a Sharia state in the United States under Christian. I'm like, you guys are so fucking 20 years ago. You don't really see the game that's being played here.
So Trump had this to say about this new ruling. So they took it down from 400, what was it, from 454 million to 175, and here's what Trump said about it. Thank you very much. Judge Ed Gordon has done a terrible disservice to the state of New York. What he's done is terrible. Business is a fling. You see that when he just released his statement on truth. Business is a fling and crime is flourishing all over the state and everywhere.
What he's done is such a disservice and should never be allowed to happen again. New York State is being battered by his decision. So I greatly respect the decision of the Appellate Division and I'll post either $175 million in cash or bonds or security or whatever is necessary very quickly within the 10 days.
And I thank the appellate division for acting quickly. But Judge N. Gorin is a disgrace to this country, and this should not be allowed to happen. Thank you very much.
Now, Trump is actually correct. So again, I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not going to vote for Trump. The fact that I have to say this disgusts me just to make this point that this is what banana republics do. This is the exact thing that the Democrats and MSNBC and CNN was screaming about Trump was going to do. Trump was going to prosecute his political opponents. And that's exactly what they're doing.
And they all said that this is what banana republics do. And that's this is the end of democracy. If Trump is allowed to do it, well, they're all doing this to him. They're doing it right out in the open. And so let me let me bring in Keaton from due dissonance. What what do you make of this?
Well, they're absolutely going to hand him the White House at this rate. So the people who, you know, call you a Trump or when you point this stuff out, they're becoming increasingly irrelevant. There was a Harvard Harris poll that came out. I saw I think it was just today. It was either today or yesterday.
that asked the question to voters, would you vote Trump or Biden if Trump is convicted in the classified documents case? So, in other words, baked into that poll was if Trump is convicted of a crime, Trump or Biden. It was Trump plus eight. 54 Trump, 46 Biden. That's if he's convicted. Because at this point...
Most people see what this is. Most people see that these are politically motivated and most people don't like that. And so I think it was Frank Luntz who on a CNN panel actually said this out loud. If you try to seize his assets, if you try to take Mar-a-Lago or Trump Tower away, you're going to hand him the White House at this rate. But it's the only play that these people think they can make because they can't make a case for Joe Biden.
And so their only option here is to throw a Hail Mary and try to actually put him in jail. But according to the latest polls, even if convicted, he would win and he would win by a lot. Plus eight. I mean, that's that's a landslide. We haven't seen that kind of landslide since Obama in 2008. So why are you Trump? Well, that's the thing. I support Trump more than I'm letting on. Is that what you're saying? Yeah.
In the words of Cornel West, sounds like you like Trump a little bit more than you let it out. I don't like to let on that I support Trump. I like to just hint at it with monologues like that. Wouldn't that be amazing if someone like Cornel West actually had the integrity to stand up against something like this? That would be something. That's what we need right now, someone like that to stand up loudly to bring the country back together and bring it back to some kind of sanity.
Well, because that is the mainstream. Like that's what that poll says. Like the mainstream person now understands that these cases are bullshit. Like that is the mainstream thought on this now. And now if you get all your news and all your commentary from mainstream sources, you would think that the people who think that these are politically motivated, you would think that's a fringe minority. No, it's not. It's most people. It's most people. And.
And this is why corporate media is such poison, because to a lot of people, the news is what they see on TV. That's just the news. Right. And so if you watch them, you would think, well, of course, Trump's days are numbered. Walls are closing in. Right. That was a narrative over and over and over again through the through the. Yes. Trump presidency campaign and through his time in the White House and since then.
And where is he now? Not only is he a free man still after all this, but you're seeing him handed victory after victory. This latest one where the bond got cut by almost two thirds sounds like. And now polls are saying, yeah, even even if he's found guilty, he would still win, which which is amazing. I mean, that's extraordinary. Eugene Debs ran for president when he was in prison. So even if they imprisoned him, I think he could still run for president.
He could. He could. Eugene Debs didn't have the swag that Trump had, though, so he probably couldn't win from prison. Trump could win from prison. So Trump is a setting... Trump is that great. Trump is... He's that terrific. Trump is right. We love him that much, even though we pretend we don't. Trump concluded his speech by saying, I'm setting up my Patreon page where you can contribute. God bless. Be sure to like and subscribe. Yeah, there you go. So now...
The real problem... So if he takes this to... So the problem is they tried to make his... He has to put up like a bond to appeal. And then they charge him $100,000 a day interest. And so the whole point of this is to bankrupt him, right? Yeah, yeah. And to make it... And so maybe he'll cry uncle to the establishment and he won't run for president. Now...
The problem is if he gets so now it looks like he's going to be able to appeal. He's going to be able to come up with that $175 million. He's going to appeal. He's going to be able to take it to the Supreme Court. And guess what's going to happen? He's going to win at the Supreme Court. He's going to win. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was a nine to nothing decision. Well, yeah, that last case, right? Yeah. Nine, nine, nine, nine. Oh, yeah.
And, I mean, look, I'm no lawyer. If I were, I wouldn't be doing this for a living, certainly. But when you appeal a case, aren't you appealing in order to prove that you haven't lost yet? In that case, $175 million seems like a pretty steep price to be able to make your case. Well, that's the whole point. Yeah. So here's another problem. There's a thing called the Eighth Amendment. And...
So the Eighth Amendment says excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel or unusual punishments inflicted. Well, this is excessive. These are excessive fines. By the way, the banks that gave them the loan, they said they'd give them another loan. They want to be in business with them again. They made money off it. There is no victim in this crime.
And what he did is, as we said, you know, Mr. Wonderful O'Leary, Kevin O'Leary, the guy from Shark Tank, he went on CNN and explained to them, this is what real estate agents do in every city in every country around the world. This is it. This is called business. It's like when you go in to buy a car and the car salesman starts high, you go low and you meet the middle. Nobody's going to say that that car dealer is a criminal because he inflated the price of his car.
But that's what this is. And so now Vivek Ramaswamy, Vivek rhymes with stomachache, Vivek is now standing up for the Eighth Amendment. Watch this. So Vivek, he's got a good case to make. Watch this.
- The Letitia James crusade against Donald Trump is disgusting and is a threat to every American. When you have prosecutors who are elected to office on a promise of going after one particular individual as she campaigned on, then go on to keep a campaign promise using the legal system to do it, it's unjust. And this particular case reveals how ugly that is.
In this case, you're talking about a crime for which there was literally no identifiable victim. The people who did business with Donald Trump weren't individual consumers. They were sophisticated financial institutions who made money from their dealings.
And yet Letitia James is using a consumer protection statute to literally make up numbers and say, hey, you have hundreds of millions of dollars in penalties that you owe. You have bond opposed by a particular date of an unreasonable magnitude that even no billionaire is regularly able to meet. And to say, if you don't do it, I'm going to start seizing your property. It's disgusting. It is a threat to not only private property, but threat to the justice system and to the rights of every American.
But the good news is there is an argument to push back against this in short order. And that's the Eighth Amendment. The Eighth Amendment prevents the imposition of excessive bail or excessive fines. And if there's ever an example that meets that to a T, it's the bond that's been demanded of Donald Trump in this disgusting New York Letitia James-led prosecution.
This is an opportunity for the Supreme Court to step in and say, no, we're not going to stand for this kind of lawfare. Whether it's against Donald Trump or a Democrat, it's wrong. We don't want to empower prosecutors to be able to use bond and bail or bonds as a way of effectively achieving a goal that they couldn't achieve through the front door, which is bankrupting an opponent, even stopping them from being able to appeal those decisions. That's un-American.
It needs to end now, not just for the protection of Donald Trump, but for the protection of every American. And in this disaster, I at least see a silver lining of some hope that that's exactly what we'll get from the Supreme Court. It's not just the current justices, not even the conservative ones that would necessarily agree with this principle. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a staunch defender of this part of the Eighth Amendment as well.
She's no longer with us, but the other justices are. And I hope this can be another nine to zero rebuke of the kind of lawfare that we're seeing against Donald Trump and indirectly against every American in this country today. And I think it could be the most important eighth amendment case of the 21st century. I hope they bring it and I hope they succeed.
So that's what could save. So they went down from $454 million to $175 million bond that Trump has to pay in order just to appeal this ruling by this obviously corrupt criminal judge and by this obviously corrupt and criminal attorney general. The criminals in this situation, in these prosecutions of Donald Trump, it's not Donald Trump. The criminal are the attorney generals. The criminals are the judges.
Those are the Justice Department. Those are the criminals. As usual, just like when the FBI lied to the FISA court 17 times so they could tap Trump's phone. They lied to the FISA court 17 times. That's documented. And nobody pays a price for any of that stuff. Russiagate completely made up by the FBI and the Hillary Clinton campaign. Completely.
Made up. She funded that Steele dossier. Lied to the FBI for a whole year and said she didn't fund it. Turns out she did. Nobody pays a price for that. Hillary Clinton, I mean, the classified documents case. Hillary Clinton had so many classified documents on her private server and over 100.
And nobody did anything about Joe Biden's been carrying around classified documents, keeping them in his garage next to his Corvette. And why does it? And he didn't have it. And he took those classified documents when he was vice president. Trump took his classified documents when he's president. And he is the only one has the ability to make them unclassified. So.
People see this now, but again, we need someone to stand up besides a jagoff comedian or a YouTuber. We need someone who has some gravitas to stand up and say something. At long last, have you no dignity, sir?
And we need to go ahead. No, you go ahead. I was just going to say in their bubble, there's no price that they could conceive. They might have to pay for this. I mean, the New York A.G. James, she no doubt has it in her head that she's going to be, you know, the hero that locks Trump up and saves the election for the Democrats and saves democracy. And she's going to come out of this a superstar and she's going to be the next governor.
The reality is the opposite. This is going to backfire. It's going to blow up in her face, and she's going to come out of this looking like a giant loser. Just like Fannie Willis. But they can't understand that. Just like Fannie Willis. Yes, exactly. Who got exposed for being unbelievably corrupt. But somehow she's still allowed to prosecute Donald Trump. They just kicked off her boyfriend. And here's the proof. So do you know when...
Vivek Ramaswamy says that this is a political prosecution by an attorney general. Just like when Donald Trump says that the attorney general in who's doing this to Trump is Letitia James. Now, I'm going to show you where she's lying. Here's a video of her lying, saying that this isn't a political prosecution and that she didn't run on promising to prosecute Donald Trump.
So let's watch that. So this is if you need proof that Donald Trump's prosecution by Letitia James in New York is political. Here it is. I'm going to give it to you. So here it is.
The President of the United States has complained that I'm engaging in some sort of political witch hunt, that I've got some personal vendetta against him, that I campaigned against him. That is not true. This illegitimate president who sits in the White House. That president, because he's not my president, he's an illegitimate president. His days are numbered. His days are numbered.
We've got to get ready to mobilize. And we've got to get ready to agitate and irritate until victory is won. But more importantly, until Trump is defeated. We will all rise up and resist this.
And ultimately, we'll bring him down. This illegitimate president, I'm going to give you the same level of respect that you gave to President Obama. And that is absolutely no respect at all. Donald Trump has got to go, hey, hey! Donald Trump has got to go, hey! I'm going to take Donald Trump's life! Lock him up! Lock him up!
Lock him up. That is not true. So when she says when she says that Donald Trump's lying about her president of the United States has complained that I'm engaging in some sort of political witch hunt, that I've got some personal vendetta against him, that I campaigned against him. That is not true.
So that's a sociopath. Those are the kind of people who are drawn to politics. She's a sociopath. She's a sociopathic liar. And she's more corrupt than Trump.
I just showed you. That's really incredible. That's incredible. I had never seen that footage. I mean, you're the top prosecutor in New York State outside with a bullhorn. Lock him up. Lock him up. I mean, Jesus Christ. That's unbelievable. I can't believe that video. Her political enemy, her number one political enemy, she's on a bullhorn screaming, lock him up. Not just the number one political enemy. She's the top lawyer in the state. She's the prosecutor. She's supposed to be the people's prosecutor? Yes.
And she denied that. You're leading a rally? Lock him up? Lock him up? She denied that she campaigned on locking him up. That was her campaigning on locking him up. Here, I have one more. I have one more for you. We've got to stand up to bullies. We've got to stand up to an administration which is too male, too pale, and too stale. Woo! Woo! Woo!
Too male, too pale, and too stale! Too male, too pale, and too stale!
By the way, male, pale, and stale used to open for Belle Biv DeVoe back in the day. I don't know if you remember that. Now, that's one of my favorite things, because it combines sexism along with racism, because that's what that is. To me, that looks like racist, and it looks like sexist.
So if you're denigrating someone because of their sex, because he's a male and because of his color of his skin, that's the opposite of what Martin Luther King's dream was. Martin Luther King's dream was to judge a man by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin and certainly not by the sex. But that's exactly these people are regressing.
These people are these are not progressives. These people are what did they used to call regressives? They've regressed all the way back to I don't know. I don't even know what words to put to this. But this is disgusting. If could you imagine if Donald Trump was on or anybody, a white politician was on and saying, oh, she's too she's too dark. She's too female. She's too stale. She's too dark. Could you imagine that saying that?
How do you care? We got to get rid of her. Why? She's too dark. She's too female. But you can say the other thing and somehow that... Does that really bring people together? And she's standing there in front of three of the whitest motherfuckers in the world saying, and they're all, ha, ha, ha. Do you hate yourself that much? You hate yourself that much that you hate that you're white? Well, I don't even know what to say. This is the opposite of what political leaders should be doing. It's the opposite of bringing people together. It's...
What would you go ahead, Keaton? You jump in. Well, I don't think paleness is anything to be trivialized in that way. I'm too pale. I've always thought of myself as too pale.
I got the lousy end of the gene pool there. You know, I'm half Mediterranean, half Eastern European. I have the hairiness and sweatiness of the Mediterranean with the pale skin tone of the Eastern European. A lousy combination. Oh, well. But no, that is resistance liberalism in a nutshell. I mean, that brings me right back to 2017. That was the entire critique of Trump, even when they had the tax march, which was you would think a tax march would be against, you know, rich people paying taxes. No, it was about Donald Trump having cheated on his taxes.
Right. And identity politics was obviously the core of that entire argument of that entire movement. I imagine this must have been somewhere around that time because she's been attorney general for quite some time now. But that had to be if I had to guess. Yeah. Twenty seventeen. Twenty eighteen. Takes you right back. That is. And there's this. I stand with immigrant New York right behind. So this is. And now the black mayor of New York is saying we can't handle these immigrants.
And we need more help from the federal government. That kind of divisive language, that's all that is. That is appealing to the worst in people. That is what that is. That is not Martin Luther King Jr. That is not Martin Luther King Jr. That is the opposite of Martin Luther King Jr. And what has happened to the liberals in this country because of a sense of
Since 2016 is remarkable. They've become everything they claim to hate.
They are now the worst version of themselves. They're racists. They're sexist. They embrace it. Well, yeah. Well, they had to. I mean, they painted themselves into that corner very easily because they had to reject everything that Bernie ran on because they called Bernie a racist. They said Bernie was. And so all they had to run on was identity politics after that, because all the substance that could have existed in a Democratic Party system.
policy set was filtered out when they when they got rid of him when they smeared him and make sure that they kneecapped him so at the dnc that year yeah all identity politics all the time i tried to and i made the case when i was a bernie supporter back in 2015 2016 and i'm like if you're gonna call bernie sanders a racist and a sex if you call him a sexist well when you call trump that it's not gonna land right because now it doesn't mean anything
And it doesn't now. Everything that the Democrats don't like is racist and sexist. Everything, except Joe Biden when he's credibly accused of rape. Then he's not sexist and he's not racist. Even though he voted against busing, he said he didn't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle. Even though he brags about the crime bill, which is why black and brown people are locked up at way above their population.
Not because of Donald Trump. Why do you think Donald Trump is now winning with Hispanics? Why do you think more than almost one in four black voters say they're going to vote for Donald Trump? And they keep doing this stuff. They won't stop doing that. They're just running on racism and hatred. And you're exactly right. So once they got rid of Bernie Sanders policies, which were super popular, popular with Trump voters, a lot of those people who voted for Bernie Sanders went on to vote for Trump. Did you know that?
Right. Yeah. No, they can no longer be for universal health care because they smeared that along with him. So that was out. So the only thing they had to run on was representation. And Trump represented, oddly enough, the exact opposite of that in their eyes. And that's what they ran against him on the whole time he was in office. And, you know, now.
To the extent that they're going to try and revive that, part of the reason why the bottom has fallen out for Biden, I mean, the Israel-Gaza thing has a lot to do with it because you can't run on a message of anti-racism when you are helping a white settler colonial state genocide indigenous brown people who have been locked in a pen for 75 years. So that just doesn't fly. That's a dog that won't hunt.
But the other part of it is part of the reason why Trump's coalition has gotten more diverse is it's because it is more a coalition of working people. You know, working class people skew more diverse, upper class people skew richer. And so as the Republican Party makes inroads with working people, they're going to make inroads with black and brown people. And the thing about working class people is they have real problems.
And this kind of rhetoric does not appeal to people with real problems because this kind of rhetoric solves no problems. It is just guilt management for neurotic white metropolitan libs. Do you think Christian? So what we need is people to do what Christian Smalls did, the guy who organized the first Amazon labor union on Staten Island. And who did he do it with? He did it with Trump voters. You think you think he led with racism and sexism?
And trans rights, or do you think he led with, hey, let's all get together on an economic, on a class basis? We're all the same class. We all have the same interests. And so if we can get better working conditions and if we can get better wages, that helps everybody. It helps white people, black people, brown people. It helps LGBTQ people. It helps trans people. It helps everybody. That's the message you have to have.
And that's not what the Democrats are doing. They'll never do it. It's over. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

So NBC News hired the former RNC chair to be a news contributor at NBC, which is something they do all the time. Michael Steele used to be the former RNC chair. Always on. They've got that Steve Smith, Wallace, Steve Schmidt. And they gave a show to George Bush's press secretary, the defender of the Iraq war and of torture.
Of war crimes. Nicole Wallace has her own show. Or had. I don't know if she still has it. I bet she does. On MSNBC. And they most recently just hired Joe Biden's press secretary. To add gay for her own show. So these aren't even just contributors. But for some reason. They're losing their shit over this woman. The former RNC chairwoman. Rona McDaniel. So she's been. MSNBC bans her. That's just real.
So I guess that open door policy over it, you got to read the fine print because sometimes that open door policy just leads to an alley. After Trump lost, the RNC made multiple allegations of election fraud and McDaniel helped promote multiple falsehoods about the election. That's what it says in the Daily Mail. So this is what it's about.
This is what this is about. In 2022, under her leadership, the RNC also voted on a censure resolution condemning Representative Liz Cheney and then Representative Adam Kinzinger, two GOP members on the House January 6th Committee. Well, the January 6th Committee was a total bullshit committee.
They lied to you. They hid evidence. They cherry pick things. And that's why it wasn't a real trial. That's why they never had a real trial. They had a show trial because that's what they were doing. That's why they never charged Donald Trump with a crime on January 6th, because he didn't commit one. And then he would get to he would get to to to give a defense and he would reveal that they're all liars. They're lying about January 6th. Who is the January 6th committee? Right.
The ex-RNC chair admitted that Biden won the election fair and square. She admitted he won the election, stating that he's the legitimate president. That wasn't good enough for the people at MSNBC. He's the president. He's the legitimate president. I have always said, and I continue to say, there were issues in 2020. I believe that both can be true. And yes, America's standards have fallen so low that yes, even Joe Biden can be president now. He could be a square dance caller, but he can't remember the words.
She's also said she disagrees with Trump's plan to free people convicted of committing crimes during January 6th attack on the Capitol. I do not think people who committed violent acts on January 6th should be free. That's still not enough. So I don't know if you saw this video, Keaton. Oh, yeah. So they did an interview with her. And after the interview, they come back to Chuck Todd at Meet the Press or Press to Meet, whatever you want to call it. And listen to what he says. This to me is stunning.
Let me deal with the elephant in the room. Yeah, I think our bosses owe you an apology for putting you in this situation because I don't know what to believe. She is now a paid contributor by NBC News. I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you was because she didn't want. They've literally hired George Bush's press secretary, her his paid liar who lied about the Iraq war torture programs, war crimes. Nobody had a problem with that.
They hired Michael Schmidt, who gave you Sarah Palin or Steve Schmidt. Steve Schmidt, yeah. Steve Schmidt, who gave you Sarah Palin. They've hired Michael Steele, the RNC chair. They've hired, most recently, Joe Biden's own press secretary, gave her a show. These are all completely unethical things that they've done. And nobody had a problem until this. And here he is saying he can't trust her because who might be paying her? Now, Chuck Todd, a man whose paycheck...
is funded by the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma. So he's lied about every war in his lifetime. He's lied about Ukraine. He's lied about Syria. He lied about Libya. He lied about Afghanistan. He lied about Iraq. That's Chuck Todd. He's lied about every war. His paycheck is paid by the military-industrial complex, Big Pharma. He lied about COVID.
He lied about everything. He lied about masks. He lied about herd immunity, natural immunity, where the virus came from. He lied about the vaccines. He lied about transmission, contraction. He lied about everything. He lied about ivermectin. He lied about hydroxychloroquine. He lied about everything because he's paid by big pharma. He's also paid by oil companies. But listen to what he says about her. I have no idea whether any answer she gave to you.
was because she didn't want to mess up her contract. I can't get over this. Again, I can't find the words to express to you how crazy. So what he's doing is describing himself. He's describing himself. How do you know Chuck Todd is ever telling you the truth? Because he doesn't want to mess up his contract.
He's getting paid by the people he's supposed to be investigating. Why does corporate news suck so bad? Because they're funded by the people they're supposed to be investigating and exposing. And those people, why do you think Boeing, he used to do a segment called Fact Check and it was funded by Boeing. Why do you think Boeing funds the Meet the Press? Is anybody watching Meet the Press in the market to buy a jet?
No, the reason why they do that, they're not funding Chuck Todd and NBC News investigation. They're funding their non-investigations. So now Chuck Todd won't say the truth about the military industrial complex because they don't want to lose that money. Just like the corporate news won't tell the truth about Big Pharma because they don't want to lose that money.
The exact thing he's accusing this woman of, Chuck Todd is guilty of it in spades. Okay, here we go. I'll try not to stop it again. She wants us to believe that she was speaking for the RNC when the RNC was paying for it. So she has credibility issues that she still has to deal with. So Chuck Todd and the rest of the people at NBC News, they're out there doing the reporting of the news just out of the goodness of their heart, in case you didn't know it.
OK, speaking for herself or she's speaking on behalf of who's paying her. But once that they aren't say she did say that, hey, I'm speaking for the party. I get that. That's part of the job. So that's part of the contract. So that's OK. I don't think I. Yeah, OK. What about here? I will say this. I think your interview did a good job of exposing, I think, many of the contradictions.
And look, there's a reason why there's a lot of journalists at NBC News uncomfortable with this, because many of our professional dealings with the RNC over the last six years have been met with gaslighting, have been met with character assassination. Oh, just the RNC. So it is, you know, that's where you be. The people who pushed Russiagate at the top of their lungs 24-7 for the last eight years have not stopped talking about red baiting anybody who is their political enemy. He's accusing...
Someone else of being gaslighters. The biggest conspiracy and the dumbest conspiracy theory of my lifetime. The most ubiquitous, the most repeated. Russiagate. They're the ones who almost invented it.
He's also acting like what? So the Republican Party started attacking the media six years ago. Republicans have been attacking the media for decades, decades. That's their whole thing. So was it gaslighting before the Trump era? Because it's common practice to hire political operatives once they get done. Like Newt Gingrich is a Fox News star.
As you mentioned, they hired Nicole Wallace. They just hired Jen Psaki. Like the transition from political operative to news contributor is that has been going on for forever, forever. And Republicans have been bitching about the media, rightfully so, by the way, forever, forever. So like what what is new about this? What's new about this is that she has the ick factor of Trump. That's.
That's it. Even though I understand Trump world is pretty happy that she is getting all this shit right now. They weren't happy with Trump. She got Trump got her kicked out. Yeah, that's why she's bounced. But she's just she still has that factor. And of course, NBC, their entire business model is to just virtue signal to a Trump deranged audience. And so she's not welcome because she is associated with Trump, even though the Trump people got her kicked out.
So the best is yet to come. I haven't played this whole thing. Wait to hear how he ends this. And so when NBC made the decision to give her NBC News' credibility, you've got to ask yourself, what does she bring NBC News? And when we make deals like this, and I've been at this company a long time, you're doing it for access. Access to audience access.
Sometimes it's access to an individual and we can have a journalistic ethics debate about that. And I'm willing to have that debate. And if you told me we were hiring her as a technical advisor to the Republican convention, I think that would be certainly defensible. If you told me
We're talking to her, but let's see how she does in some interviews and maybe vet her with actual journalists inside the network. See if it's a two way what she can bring the network. So I do think unfortunately this interview is always gonna be looked through the prism of who is she speaking for, right? I think you did everything you could do. You got put into an impossible situation booking this interview and then all of a sudden the rugs pull out from under you, you find out she's being paid to show up.
That's it's unfortunate for this program, but I am glad you did the best you could. And that's why the three of us are on here to to try to bolster that editorial independence. Editorial independence, Chuck Todd just said. He said they're all on there to bolster their editorial independence. You can't make this shit up. Good. Go, Keaton. Go ahead.
Yeah, look, I got to admit, sometimes you can fake it. Sometimes you can't make it. Sometimes you just got to admit, I don't know what the fuck he's talking about. I don't even know what he's talking about. This has been going on for I mean, this is a standard practice thing. It's been going on forever. I don't understand. You gave Jen Psaki her own show, not just a contributor. She's got her own show.
She does monologue after monologue after monologue that's completely unhinged, completely detached from reality. Do they question her journalistic ethics? She just got done working for Joe Biden three fucking weeks ago. I don't understand what – especially that second part of the monologue. I can't even – like you said at the beginning, you're lost for words. I'm lost for words. I don't even know what he means. I don't understand what the complaint is. Yeah.
Let me find out. I tweeted something about this. Let me see. Let me try to quote myself. It's amazing to watch a mouthpiece for the establishment who is being paid by weapons manufacturers, big pharma, oil companies, Wall Street banks, question the credibility of someone else because of who is paying them. This is beyond parody, beyond 1984 and Brave New World. Hard to believe this is actually real.
But it is. Chuck Todd has lied about every war in my lifetime on behalf of who pays him. He's lied about all things COVID and vaccines on behalf of who's paid him. The same news organization he currently takes a check from hired Joe Biden's press secretary to host a news show. Yes, that's perfectly OK with him. Most people now realize that corporate news...
People are not journalists, but paid propagandists. They're not paid millions of dollars by billionaires to inform us, but to manufacture consent of the viewers for the agenda of the oligarchs. To hear him speak about editorial independence is pure comedy. It's already a fully written satirical piece. That's what I have to say. Yeah, because, okay, so she was gaslighting us up until we hired her.
As a contributor, but but Jen Psaki wasn't. I guess it must be because they never questioned the narrative coming out of Democratic circles. They don't consider Jen Psaki to be a gaslighter who has integrity issues because they just take whatever the Biden White House says at face value. So that must be what they're getting at, because I guess.
The RNC attacks the media, and so now she's being paid by the people she was attacking. Well, yeah, she was on the inside. Now she's part of it. That happens all the time. I'm sure Michael Steele had some not-so-nice things to say about the media when he was RNC chair. All the RNC chairs attack the media. I mean, they attack the media all the time. So what's unique about her, and how is her gaslighting different
from the gaslighting of all the Democrat in the neocon GOP operatives like Nicole Wallace. How is it different from that? It's different because I guess you just never challenged the gaslighting that comes out of neocon and neoliberal circles. I just... That must be it. The idea that somehow Chuck Todd is now taking umbrage because politicians lied to the news. He's saying they gaslighted us. That's what they do.
It's those things. That's what they all do. Right. That's that's that's that's the same people who say that, you know, the reason why they hate Donald Trump is because he's a big liar. If you think that Chuck Todd and the news people, CNN, they hate Donald Trump because he went to Washington, D.C., and he started lying. I've got a vaccine I'd like to sell you.
Yeah, yeah. David Frum is editor-in-chief at The Atlantic Magazine. That's right. One of the engineers of the most vile Iraq War live. Does that magazine now have a journalistic integrity issue because he runs it? They've never said that. They would never come anywhere near saying that.
Barry Weiss, now if you remember her from this show, my most popular video, it got like 5 million, over 5 million views, was when she went on and slandered Tulsi Gabbard because Tulsi Gabbard was telling the truth about the Syrian war. And anybody who told the truth about the Syrian war got slandered. Go to my Wikipedia page, look what they still have up there. They still pushed a conspiracy theory that Assad gassed his own people, which is what that was.
And I debunked it, and they called me a conspiracy theorist. Who did they quote at Wikipedia? They quote CNN, calling Jimmy Dore a conspiracy theorist because I got Syria right. And we all know that Wikipedia is run by the intelligence community, MI6 and the CIA and the FBI. Certainly when it comes to personal profiles, Graystone has proven this. This is not me making it up. So Barry Weiss, slandered...
Tulsi Gabbard called her an Assad toady. That's what they do. Just like they're calling people Putin puppets. So you're Assad. So whatever country the United States wants to go to war with, if you tell the truth about it, they say you're a puppet of that person running that country. You're Saddam, you're Gaddafi, whatever, no matter what it is. So here she is. She says, and this piece doesn't even touch on her truly batch. So this is a piece called The Hateful Candace Owens.
So she's glass. So Barry Weiss is a Zionist and she's totally down with what Israel's doing, the genocide. And she totally just again, there are I know there are a lot of people who thought she was a free speech person and all that. She's not. She's for free speech when it suits her. She's a part time free speecher that it took. So she says this piece doesn't even touch on her truly batshit views about Brigitte Macron.
That it took the Daily Wire this long to sever ties with Candace Owens is alarming. So, first of all, Candace Owens' claims about Brigitte Macron was based on a three-year in-depth investigation by a team of French journalists. However crazy it is, she didn't come up with it out of thin air. So, here's another. So, you don't think it's weird that a 40-something-year-old teacher groomed and then married her student starting at age 15? Because Macron, the president of France...
He's 40, his wife is 70, and she was his teacher when he was 15. Flip that. Flip that to being a girl student and a male, 40-year-old male. Just flip that. It is very French, though. Yeah. Switch the genders and see how that goes. Nothing to report on that one. And anyone who does report on it should be deplatformed. So, by the way, Barry Weiss is...
She's like if there's this league of superheroes that wait in some coffee room for instructions to attack someone or something that they know nothing about.
That's what this is. She didn't know anything about Tulsi, right? That was the big clip that went viral. She didn't know anything. She said, Tulsi's vile, right? That was the word I think she used. Oh, she's disgusting. What was the word? She called her an Assad toady, and then Rogan said- I think it was vile. I think that was the word. That sticks out in my head for some reason. Then Rogan asked, what about her vile? And she had nothing. He asked, what is a toady? He said, she's an Assad toady. And he said, what is a toady? What does that word mean?
Oh, and she couldn't say? She didn't know what it was. She goes, can you look it up? I don't know what it means. But she called her that. Yeah. So any criticism of pedo politics is batshit. That's what Barry's saying. So here's one more. By the way, underneath her tweet, I couldn't find any positive tweets under Barry's tweet about calling Candace batshit. Here's Nick, friend of the show, says, people really thought a Zionist believed in freedom of speech?
And Jake Shields, the friend of the show, says we all know you want her fired because she's realizing Israel is a terrorist state, which they are, just like the United States is. Here's one more. Candace disagrees with murdering Palestinian babies and starving them to death. You're fully in favor of that. So who is really hateful here? Glenn Greenwald caught this.
So Barry Weiss wrote a, years ago, she wrote an essay called We Got Here Because of Cowardice, We Get Out with Courage.
So Glenn says, this essay in commentary by Barry Weiss from which that excerpt is taken, say no to the woke revolution is below. It warns of the evils of firing people by accusing them of bigotry and of the moral urgency of debating not deplatforming opponents. So Barry Weiss and Ben Shapiro and all those people, they all used to,
uh say that that that's what they used to say you don't de-platform people because you don't agree with them you need to debate them and you don't call them bigots you don't cut you just they just the left just calls everybody a bigot or a racist that well now they're doing that exactly to candace owen and anybody who doesn't go along with the genocide that israel's pulling off in gaza so just think about this we have people like aoc has finally called it a genocide
And Alex Jones is also calling it a genocide. So I'm pretty sure there's a genocide happening. Yeah. Yeah. So they're on the same page. That's pretty much the mainstream opinion at that point. Yeah. So here here's here's what Glenn caught. He says, let me offer the this is what Barry White had written back in November of 2021. Let me offer the briefest overview of the core beliefs of the woke revolution.
which are abundantly clear to anyone willing to look past the hashtags and the jargon. It begins by stipulating that the forces of justice and progress are in a war against backwardness and tyranny. And in a war, the normal rules of the game must be suspended. Indeed, this ideology would argue that those rules are not just obstacles to justice, but tools of oppression. They are the master's tools, and the master's tools cannot dismantle the master's house.
So the tools themselves are not just replaced, but repudiated. And in so doing, persuasion, the purpose of argument, is replaced with public shaming. Moral complexity is replaced with moral certainty. Facts are replaced with feelings. That's exactly what Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire, Dave Rubin, and...
And Barry Weiss are doing to Candace Owen. It goes on. Ideas are replaced with identity. That's exactly what this is. I once had a conversation with Dave Rubin about that when they were doing one of their mowing the lawns, as Israel calls it, and they were bombing schools.
And UN sanctuaries and they were they were they were trying to beg Israel, don't bomb this. There's there's children in here and they did it anyway. And Dave Rubin was for that. And I remember like I go, Dave, you can't really be for that. He goes, well, it's tribal, Jimmy. Of course, I'm going to go along with my tribe. That's a quote from him. Wow. So this is ideas are replaced with identity. Forgiveness is replaced. So that's what they're doing.
They're replacing ideas with their identity as Zionists, and they conflate it with being Jewish. There's lots of Jews that are not Zionists, but they want you to think that Zionism equals Jewish, and it doesn't. So you can be anti-Zionist, and that doesn't make you an anti-Semitic. That's a semantic trick that they're trying to—I'm anti-semantic. Okay.
ideas are replaced with identity this is exactly what they're doing so again these people don't really have values like i've showed you that ben shapiro doesn't have those values ideas are replaced with identity forgiveness is replaced with punishment debate is replaced with deep platforming diversity is replaced with homogeneity of thought
That's exactly what they're doing at the Daily Wire. That's exactly what Barry Weiss is doing. That's exactly what Ben Shapiro is doing. That's exactly what they're doing. And they cry foul when the argument is turned on them because what's really been exposed about these people is
over these past several months, is that these Zionists really are racists. They are absolute racists. If you believe that the state of Israel is a legitimate project, you must believe that a bunch of brown Arabs in the Middle East should have been made to pay for the crimes of the Nazis. That in itself is profoundly racist right there. And now...
that we're having a debate about this, and that people who are pushing back on their patently racist premise that undergirds the existence of Israel as a state, they want to shut that debate down because they consider it illegitimate and out of bounds. Why? Because it's being argued on behalf of a people who they quite obviously see as less than human.
So these are die-in-the-wool fucking bigots. And they are full of garbage and all this bullshit about free speech and open debate and discourse and dialogue and the Barry Weises and the Douglas Murrays and the Dave Rubens and the Ben Shapiros. They are just full of shit. And as...
the consensus broadens to include people like Alex Jones on one hand and AOC on the other, that this is an unfolding genocide. These people are going to end up outcasts, as they should. We'll see. Candace hasn't been deplatformed or silenced, nor was there even an attempt to do so. That's what this person says to Glenn Greenwald. And Glenn Greenwald comes back and says she's been deplatformed by the Daily Wire.
And is no longer at her job due to her views that have been morally and publicly shamed as racist. Exactly what Barry's essay warns about. So now they became the thing they claim to hate. Of course they are. Just like the people who are prosecuting Trump politically for political prosecution. They said Trump was going to do that. And now they got to do it to him before he gets reelected so he can't do it to them. So they're going to do it first. That's what's happening right now. That's what this is. Uh...
This is I can't. So apparently it's not lying when a certain group does it, when Zionists do it. It's not racism when a certain group does it. It's not theft when a certain group does it. It's not child abuse when a certain group does it. It's not genocide when a certain group does it. But most important, it's not hypocrisy when it's pointed out that this certain group does all those things.
Exactly. I am anti-semantic when it comes to bullshit. I'll tell you that. I don't hate religion. I hate lies. And every religion uses them for cover. Some more than others rise and fall from using it. But all of them fall from using bullshit. We eventually see through it. That's stunning that she wrote that. You can't get bigger phonies. That's what these people are. Phonies.
And Cretans who are for genocide. I just, I don't get it. And it's, you know, Netanyahu says he doesn't care if the whole world turns against Israel. The whole world has turned against Israel. The whole world. I mean, over a month ago, a Jewish think tank did a study of all the protests around the world.
over Israel, Gaza, and they found out 95% of the protests were pro-Palestinian. That's a Jewish think tank. The whole world has turned on them. And now you have Joe Biden and the Democrats. So now AOC, they're all coming out now. Oh, they're really, because they know they're going to lose the election. And they're going to lose the election because of this. And there's no silver lining because Donald Trump
has already said he's going to go along with Benjamin Netanyahu. So Benjamin Netanyahu is never going to stop doing what he's doing because he knows he just, he doesn't care. So now Joe Biden has no leverage. Exactly, because he's a loser. It doesn't matter what he says. Netanyahu knows he only has to wait, what, 10 months until he'll have his way again. Even if Biden does take a stand, which is unlikely, even if that does happen, Netanyahu knows that Joe Biden's days in the White House are numbered.
Because they took too long to mobilize at all around this. And they really haven't mobilized.
They voted present at the latest UN resolution, which calls for a ceasefire. They insisted, meaning the U.S. insisted that that be a temporary ceasefire, not a permanent ceasefire. So they're still not really doing anything. They're making these rhetorical gestures because they know the bottom is falling out of their party. But as you said, it's too late. Netanyahu knows he holds all the cards now because all he has to do, worst case, is wait for Donald Trump to win. That's exactly right.
That's exactly right. But, you know, Donald Trump is a wild card. So you don't know. I mean, you don't know if he gets elected and tells Netanyahu, hey, asshole, this looks bad. He's already said it, by the way. He's already said this. And that is the caveat to this. You're right. Is that if world opinion turns against them as dramatically as it looks like it is, there is that chance that he just...
goes along with that because what Trump wants more than anything is to be liked. And so if this is a loser position, he might not back Israel. I mean, it's hard to imagine, right? Like it's hard to even imagine that that could happen, but it could. It's not something to bet on, but you're right. He is a wild card. There is that randomness factor.
when it comes to Trump. But at the moment, yeah, Netanyahu holds all the cards over Joe Biden because Joe Biden is for all intents and purposes a lame duck. And you can't negotiate with Netanyahu when you're a lame duck. You have no political power. Joe Biden has no political power. None. Hey, become a premium member. Go to JimmyDoreComedy.com. Sign up.
