“We Must End This War Madness!” – Candidate Dennis Kucinich
01:00:30 Share

It's been a while.

It has been too long is what it has been. But I wanted to call you to touch base and reconnect because not only do I enjoy talking to you, but it has always been important to me to have the opportunity to connect with your audience in particular. Boy, it's so obvious that you're some kind of, you're on some kind of grift right now. Jimmy, I am a proud Italian American. Oh, brother.

Sorry, just a reflex. I say that whenever I get accused of something. All right. So what's new with you, Governor?

Jimmy, what's new with me is nothing new at all. I am being persecuted. The dogs of persecution have been unleashed on me. The hounds of anti-Italian sentiment, along with the snarling curs of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism. You're not even Jewish yet.

Jimmy, I identify so closely with my Jewish brothers and sisters that I take anti-Semitism personally. It is as if I myself am being targeted. Well, isn't that something? Can you tell me a little more about this persecution you're suffering? Well, Jimmy, I'll spare you the details of the various stations of the cross, but I can name my Judas Iscariot, and his name is Peter Kaufman. Who?

Peter Kaufman is a former communications director of mine who has decided to betray me. And I'll communicate some bullshit about me. What do you mean?

Jimmy, I have not even announced yet that I'm running for mayor. But some people have gotten that sense because I have done every possible little obvious conniving thing to shore up political support for myself. But even at this early stage, as Peter Kaufman has created an organization funded by donors, very suspicious if you ask me, whose sole purpose is to convince New Yorkers that I am unfit for office.

This is a backstabbing par excellence. Interesting. Do they take small donations too? I'll get out my checkbook. Ha ha ha ha. Very funny.

Feel free to throw your money away along with the big donors whom I can only assume are virulent anti-Semites because their tactics won't work. They're not going to stop me with this backstabbery because I have perhaps the greatest secret weapon in all of New York politics, my loyal spokesman, rich as a party. Is that so?

That is so. When my enemies, who have sought to besmirch not only my name, but also that of my dear brother, came after me for my handling of COVID, Rich turned on them by saying, in so doing, they were repeating a Republican talking point. How clever is that? Quite clever.

And then fired off the following sentence in a press release, quote,

These de Blasio refugees are bear-hugging MAGA lies and some sort of legally dubious dark money exercise while real, actual, crucial elections for the White House and Congress are hitting the homestretch. Now, if my guy can come up with wackadoo copy like that, there's no stopping me. Any criticism of your administration is now MAGA lies, huh?

Uh-huh. Isn't it brilliant? Something like that takes fucking balls. And how's the party? He's a bull like me. Oh, brother.

Don't say brother. I get too emotional. But anyway, I am not simply on the defensive. I am on the offensive as well as ever. The Cuomo ground game is unparalleled. I am out in these streets, Jimmy. I'm sure you are. Indigenous Peoples Day? Fuck that. Columbus Day. Diga Colombo. Oof.

I was out in the parades with my fellow proud Italian-Americans celebrating the great man who founded this country. He didn't found... Silencio! I am also canoodling with religious Jews, touting my unwavering support for Israel and patiently listening to their concerns, primarily that the mayor is black. And I offer solutions to that. I see.

And conversely, I'm also getting cozy with the African-American community here in New York City. Not quite to Bill Clinton levels, but hopefully at least to Al Gore levels. For example, I will attend those church services and I'll clap along, but I probably won't sway back and forth. The first two groups I mentioned would not care for that. Wow. I must say you really have got this figured out.

New York is a beautiful, intricate, and complicated tapestry of ethnicity and faith, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I am all these peoples, and they are me, and I play the fuck out of them. You sure do. Now, there's no chance of you just quietly leaving public life and entering private practice as a lawyer or something, is there?

Jimmy, are you crazy and leave all this behind? The playing, the canoodling, the not swaying? It's intoxicating. Jimmy, it makes me feel alive. With every deft and clever move I make, it's like drinking Sambuca in the moonlight. I'll never leave it behind, Jimmy. I'm a New York politician through and through. Are you going to quit your YouTube channel and go manage a Kinko's?

If I have to keep talking to you, I just might. Oh, come on now, Jimmy. Don't be like that. Whether you want to admit it or not, you need people like me. What if all politicians were goody-two-shoes Boy Scouts? You'd be out of a job. What, you want the incorruptible calling into your show? How fucking boring would that be? Forget about it.

If I were out of a job because suddenly every elected officials decided to act right, I wouldn't mind being unemployed if that were the reason. You didn't mean a fucking word of that. You're too much of a fucking bull like me.

So you need me and others like me. You need to be angered by my schemes. To be tickled at the way I say brother. And all the rest. You'd be so sad if I didn't call you anymore. But I must bid you adieu. I'm late for a dinner engagement. Can you guess with who? Who? Chris Cuomo. Ah, jeez.

Yeah.

Medium speeds and jumps to medium and hits them head on. It's the Jimmy Tore Show. We have a special guest right off at the top. One of my favorite politicians. That sounds funny to say, right? You have a favorite politician. I like him because he was such a threat to the Democratic Party.

And the establishment that they gerrymandered him right out of Congress. I'm talking of the one and the only Dennis Kucinich, former Democratic congressman from Ohio and two-time candidate for president. In 1977, he became Cleveland's youngest mayor at the age of 31. In 2008, as a presidential candidate, he ran a platform of supporting single-payer health care, impeaching Vice President Dick Cheney and the establishment of a Department of Peace.

He is currently running for Congress as an independent in Ohio's 7th House District, where he received the endorsement of the Cleveland plane dealer. Please welcome back to the show, peace candidate Dennis Kucinich. How are you doing, Mr. Kucinich? Jimmy, great. Wonderful to be with you and your audience. And anytime I'm with you, I'm interested in the discussion. So let's go for it. So tell me, what is the big issue you're running on?

Well, it really is peace. And let me break it down. First of all, we have to stop these endless wars. America has absolutely gone in the wrong direction. Since 9/11, we've spent over $8 trillion on wars that we didn't have to fight based on lies and at the sacrifice of the quality of life of the American people. We now have a $36 trillion deficit

8 trillion of it due to wars. And the wars that we're prosecuting right now are just advancing the slaughter of innocents. And no end game can be described that makes any sense, whether you're talking about the war in Ukraine, where so many of the people of Ukraine, the brave people of Ukraine have just been killed because

Our State Department had a different agenda and has some crazy idea they're going to take over Russia. We can't even afford to take care of our own people. And then there's the war in the Middle East where we are subsidizing the genocide of the Palestinians and the wreckage in Gaza, West Bank, Lebanon now.

And the half a billion dollars we sent over to Taiwan as the initial payment on going after China. I mean, this is all madness. And it has to be called out. And when I return to Congress, I will be the voice, not just of peace, but of diplomacy.

of taking this country in a direction where we start recognizing that the needs at home aren't being met. I mean, there's so many people having trouble making ends meet, Jimmy. I'm sure you run into it all the time. People are having trouble paying their monthly mortgages, their rent, utilities, their medical bills, and sending their kids to school and covering those costs. What are we talking about here in America? We're going abroad looking for dragons to slay

while we're not taking care of things at home. Yes, I am a peace candidate. And yes, when elected, and people can go to Kucinich.com to help us right now, when elected, I will be the voice to stand up and speak out against this war machine, against the military industrial complex, and for the American people.

So what do you say to people? I know a lot of people here. I'm in Hollywood that they're going to vote Democrat because although the Democrats are currently funding a genocide and slaughtering children, women, elderly, they say Trump is going to deport immigrants who are here. So apparently it seems like they're doing some kind of moral gymnastics by somehow they're

They're putting up prior to prioritizing deportations of immigrants over the slaughter of an entire Palestine Gaza genocide. It's it seems it seems to be. Is that mental gymnastics that they're doing? Well, you know what they're doing is, you know, you have to understand a partisan mindset. This relates to Republicans as well.

There's compartmentalization that goes on with that, compartmentalization of thinking. You can only look at certain facts and you can't look at others.

It's one of the reasons why I'm running as an independent, because I can look at everything. I can look at the full terrain. I can look at what the Republicans are doing that might not be right, what the Democrats are doing might not be right. And what's not right at this moment is the Democratic Party is advancing war across the globe. And that is not in the interest of the American people. When I saw what the Democrats in Congress were doing,

Earlier this year, when a few members stood up and they said, hey, maybe we should take a different direction and try diplomacy with Russia. And they were squashed.

I just said, wait, what is wrong with this party? Why do they want war? I think we're going to have to look at the campaign finance reports and see all the money that's coming from these contractors who have to be pouring money into both political parties to keep wars going because they're making money out of it. I mean, it's a racket. You know, Smedley Butler said it years ago. I'll say it today. War is a racket. And the reason why partisans look at it is that, look,

Interest groups want control of Congress. Is it about the American people?

Hell no. It's about controlling things so you can make a lot of money. Meanwhile, American people are just bereft of the attention of their government. You can't even get the kind of decent response that they deserve in North Carolina to a hurricane. People are still waiting for help. What a country we have that you can't take care of your own, but you want to use the checkbook or the credit card to take care of things all around the world.

We need some help here in America and where it starts is in the Congress. And, you know, I can go back to defending the Constitution, stopping government spying, stopping the militarization of our civilian law enforcement process, which is absolutely underway. We're losing our country to lies and to interest groups that don't care about America. They just care about their making money.

So what's interesting to me, one of the things that's interesting to me about your candidacy and your race is that a lot of your positions used to be hardcore Democratic positions, which are now considered right wing, for instance.

you want a sane border policy. You say you have to, which the Democrats used to talk about all the time, and now they don't. Now we've had an open border policy for the last three and a half years, and Kamala Harris talks about not shutting it down, but now she's talking about a path to citizenship for the people that they let in. So you also talk about freedom of speech and

of the First Amendment and anti-censorship. They used to be hardcore lefty ideas. They're now considered right-wing ideas. But you've stayed, like I have, you've stayed the same as the Democratic Party has lost their mind. And so now a lot of what you're advocating for is actually appealing to people who are center-right because it's sane, right? Would you agree with that? I would agree with that 100%. And

I mean, my approach is common sense. Now, one of the problems with partisanship is that people just buy a whole line, a whole line, hook, line and sinker. I don't do that. You know, you cited, that's what I stood for then and I stand for it now. I stand for peace. I stand for diplomacy. I've always stood for a sensible border policy.

And what we're doing now here is we just open the gates, let anybody in. You know, there was a Congressman Gonzalez who got a letter almost a month ago from Homeland Security in which he learned how many people were actually coming across the border who had criminal backgrounds. Now, why shouldn't we as Americans be concerned about that? Why shouldn't we as Americans want to make sure our borders are secure? We can't go to any other country without checking in.

Why? Why are people able to do that in America? Who are the people coming in? Why are we spending hundreds of billions of dollars in expenses to take care of people who come over the period of time to take care of people who come across the border? We're not taking care of our own people here at home. I mean, none of this stuff makes sense. And the thing that I learned about, you know, long ago, Jimmy, when I got into politics, if something doesn't make sense, question it.

And it's not just about questioning authority. It's about if it doesn't make sense, ask questions, because generally behind that are decision makers who are either crooked or stupid or both. And you're running as an independent. Why are you running as an independent? Well, you know, if I'm going to run inside a party, I'm going to have to wear the jersey. And I can't play for that team right now because they stand for things I don't believe in.

You know, I don't believe in these forever wars. I don't believe that we can keep expanding a federal deficit endlessly without having real consequences affecting us here at home. And both of those affect our basic freedoms here at home. I don't believe that we can have our borders open endlessly. And what's happening by if you don't have borders, you don't have a country.

So we have to look at the kind of thinking that's taken us to this place. So, yes, I'm running as an independent because I can work with everyone. I know with me, it's not this or that. It's like, well, let's take a look at the whole question and and look at it regardless of partisanship. There's a point at which if we don't put country above party, we're going to lose our country.

The partisanship is often a punch and Judy brick bat game, which devolves into people in the back room just cutting up a bundle of money. I mean, this thing has gotten so corrupt. And I think that's the that is what is underneath all of the concerns that Americans have right now. Our government has become so corrupt that it's lost touch with the needs of the American people.

And I'm the one that can go back to Congress and challenge it every single day, as I did when we started to move towards war with Iraq.

Jimmy, if any of the viewers would look at, just type in a search engine, Kucinich Iraq analysis, October 2nd, 2002, they'll see long before we started dropping bombs on Baghdad, I knew exactly what was going on. And you don't have to be a genius to know what's going on.

You just have to be not bought out. You have to have common sense. You have to have a willingness to serve the people first instead of a party or some interest group, because parties are interest groups or a collection of interest groups.

And as an independent, when I return to Congress, I'll be able to represent the American people and help those who are in both parties who are struggling with this compartmentalized thinking to show them a path out of it, to show them a path where we can come together for our country, not for some interest groups that are pretending to care because they don't care. And so your commitment to the First Amendment and anti-censorship, how deep does it go?

It goes this deep. It says that right now, all of our Constitution is at risk. Our First Amendment rights are being abridged. You know, college campuses, which used to be the hotbed, the percolation of power in the street to get people out in protest, they've been shut down. First Amendment rights have been abridged. Kids face getting kicked out of college.

if they go and protest what's happening in the Middle East. How did that happen? I mean, the reason why Lyndon Johnson left office in 1968 is because of campus protests about the Vietnam War. So it's not just that. You have things like this recent military directive, which gives the Pentagon ever more power.

to reach into civilian life where they can come in and be involved in local law enforcement. That's against not just posse comitatus, which was supposed to separate the military from local police activities, but it's also against the whole spirit of our republic, which is no militarization of domestic policy. And so, because when that happens, we lose our freedoms. When we spend

A trillion dollars a year, by the way, mostly for the military, for intelligence and things like that. That's at the cost of our freedom here at home because we're not able to take care of things here at home. When we have these intelligence agencies who are working now with the military to try to shut down dissent in America,

They try to shut down the internet, you know, certain internet companies. They try to shut down people who want to have a diversity of opinion on the web. We better pay attention. Max Miller is the scariest congressman.

He's attacked Christianity. He's for genocide. They're not a state, they're a territory that's about to probably get eviscerated and go away here shortly as we're going to turn that into a parking lot. He's for endless war. He lied about his military service record. He's for the automatic draft registration of your children. He's raised the debt ceiling to $35 trillion.

He was the deciding vote for government to spy on Americans. Court documents say he's a drug abuser. He has an arrest record. He hits women, and he even threw a woman down the stairs. Beware. Beware of Max Miller, the scariest congressman. This is Dennis Kucinich, and I approve this ad. ♪♪

Trump cancels all his events in favor of one of the worst people ever. You mean the most popular talk show host in the world?

Do you have the bits on it? Yeah. Trump cancels all his events in favor of one of the worst people in the world. Donald Trump will be sitting down with Joe Rogan. Worst people. Have you guys never heard of Benjamin Netanyahu? Yeah. I'm sure. I mean, surely Rogan isn't as evil as Oprah. Yeah. Not by a mile.

This is like Diddy Party people that think he's the worst person. But when I think of the ancient line of Antichrist figures throughout history, of course, there's Genghis Khan, there's Pol Pot, there's Hitler. But they all have to take a knee to the highly successful podcaster out of Austin, Texas. How do you screw up this bad and then blame the guy who's just doing the thing you could be doing, but you stop doing it because you're a show?

Hey, New Republic, it's not your job to decide who the worst people in the world are. That's Keith Olbermann's job, and the guy needs work. Yeah, I want to know where Keith Olbermann stands. I want to see what color of glasses frame he wears while he says it. Then I'll decide. Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan's one of the worst people in the world. What did Joe Rogan ever do? Well, ever. That's not the world. That's in... Ever. You're only thinking... That's like in history. That's four-dimensional. Oh, I... The world's just...

You know, ever in history. He hosts a popular podcast, people like. He was right about. One of the worst. And he was right about COVID. He got, he beat COVID in two, in like 24 hours. Wow, my God. He never, dude, think of how mind blowing this is. Joe never even made a mistake about what he was saying regarding COVID. Yes. At times they said he was mistaken. No, he was right. He was right.

People that weren't against him that said, no, actually, it's this. They were wrong. That's right. So how did Joe Rogan, the worst one of one of the worst people ever? How is he 100 percent right on every part of covid? But you're not, you know, the people in charge of that. How does that work? After backing out of several major interviews at the last minute, Donald Trump.

Has one last major appearance on the horizon, the Joe Rogan experience. The Republican presidential nominee will be meeting with the former Fear Factor host on Friday. It'll be the first time that Trump has appeared on Rogan's podcast. Wow. Former Fear Factor host. Is that why he's the worst person ever?

I bet it is. Oh, my friend's texting me a picture of the girl who wrote it. But I've already looked it up. I had to see who. But keep in mind. Oh, it's a woman.

Wait, but wait, Ellie, just so people understand, she probably didn't make that headline because I read the article because I want to know why he's one of the worst people ever. There's nothing about that in her article. I bet you're right. She's not responsible for that headline. So the editor is the one. The editor did that. I looked at this a long time ago on my old podcast because these stupid SJW blogs would come out.

you know, like on Jezebel. And I found out, no, the writer doesn't come up with it. The editor does. So this is written for a dumb, illiterate shit lib to just read the headline and not read the article. If you read the article, it tells you nothing as you'll see in these slides. So,

Yeah. Over the last several months, Trump has made a concerted effort to reach young male voters by signing up for a slew of interviews with podcasters, including Twitch ban, Benny Aiden roast, the Lex Friedman podcast, six feet under hosted by wrestler Mark Calloway and Theo Vons podcast this past weekend. Oh, all the lowest class people. By the way, it's Aiden Ross.

So which Banny. So, oh, my God, that's like a worse than a diddy party. If you were banned from Twitch, I don't I don't even know. But I know he's up there in the worst people. So this is the thing you were saying about Rodney Dangerfield. And yeah, you know, oh, he's with the slobs. He's with me. Those are all very popular shows. People love those people. So Trump goes and relates to them. It's like Rodney Dangerfield.

What they think being a good person is, is never mentioning how big Arnold Palmer's cock is. Because it wouldn't be right. You know? It's funny that still they haven't mentioned one thing that makes Joe Rogan a bad person. Let's see. Well, reaching out to young men, I guess. That's it. The only thing they said, he reached out to young men, and I think they said that he supported RFK over Trump. Oh. That's it. That's it.

Well, that's the worst one of the worst things ever. Liberals think Dick and Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol and George Bush are honorable and moral patriots. Well, Joe Rogan is one of the worst people ever due to all the wars, torture programs, illegal domestic spying, kidnapping, coups and mass murder. Rogan implemented. Yeah. Very funny, Glenn.

Well, Rogan did legalize torture during the war on terror. So that's fair. Remember that? I was like, why is the guy from fear factor in charge of that? It didn't make sense. It didn't make sense. Seattle mag extremist says that's not fair. Glenn, let's not forget Joe Rowan confessed to using ivermectin. Oh my God. That's a horse apple dewormer. That's worse than having a B a thousand baby bottles filled with GHB. Wow. Yeah.

Wow. Ivermectin made people go blind like masturbation. Like it was a sin. Gunshot victims couldn't get in. They couldn't gunshot because we're standing in line. You know, you look to stand in line with a gunshot wound. You know how a hospital would definitely prioritize. Prioritize ivermectin poisons over gunshots. That's how it works at all hospitals. Yeah. Totally made sense. Rolling Stone was right on top of it. Great job.

Worst ever. It's still amazing that people still repeat that ivermectin line to me on social media, and they're still not upset that they were lied to. People, I had someone in my DMs today defending Fauci. Oh, remember how he helped people out during AIDS? Do you remember the movie The Dallas Buyers Club starring Matthew McConaughey? No. How long ago was that?

What are you, a boomer? I don't remember nothing past a month. Do you know who the bad guy in the Dallas Buyers Club movie was? It was Dr. Fauci. No matter what propaganda Rolling Stone prints about it, that's the fact.

Hey, Kamala's interview might be still on with Rogan. They're being, I got it. 45 minutes though. She's going to filibuster. That's going to be, listen, 20 minutes of Kamala goes a long way. We all commit that. That's all you need. You don't need more than 20 minutes of her, you know, but I just, because I mean, I bet if I was Joe Rogan and I'm not,

But if I was Joe Rogan, I would probably spend the first 15 minutes trying to get her to tell me why she only limited our interview to 45 minutes. Why? What are you afraid of? He won't do that. Joe is a jujitsu guy. And so my favorite, Adam ruins everything. Where I first was like, really appreciate how good he is at interviews. Adam ruins everything. When I watched that, Rogan wasn't aggressive. He wasn't mad. Like, I lose my temper pretty quick when someone says something stupid to me.

And he does not because he's a calm dude and he's like, it's like jujitsu. So all that would happen is he'll follow any rules they give. They're going to give rules for what you can say. And she'll still cock it up because she's going to collapse under her own weight. And he's not, the whole thing is he's being completely Zen talking to people. That's what they hate him for. So they ruin themselves talking to him. It's not even intense. He's not trying to ruin her in any way. All he has to do is bring up the border. That's all he has to do is bring it up.

I mean, I don't know what the topics are. I know weed was not supposed to come up, so I don't give a shit about that. We already know what they need to know about that. But I want to know the things they want to talk about. That's what I want to know. I would love for him to bring up her imprisoning black... Targeting black single moms for prison over truancy of their kids and...

And the one mom, she actually did screw up, lost her house, lost her job because her kid had sickle cell anemia. That would be awesome if he brought that up. I wrote those jokes. I'd sent that clip to Rob. I'm like, yo, if you're talking to Trump's people, they should see this and promote this

Woman, because it's a that's one of the most despicable. I don't know if you when you see this woman's story of what happened to her so that this empty shell of a woman could grandstand a bad idea, a bad Canadian idea.

And then have it struck down and just hassle this woman's life and then make a big show of embarrassing her. And the only people she embarrassed were black single mothers. That's it. And out of her way, a woman who's got a girl with a legit excuse from school handicap. And what does she cost in the school by not going in? $30 a day. I mean, that just sums up everything about Kamala Harris right there. You don't need to know nothing else except that. You don't need to know anything else.

Hey, speaking of crazy, so Thomas Massey, I think we can both, I don't know, I think, I don't agree with him on everything, but I agree with that he's one of the few people I think who has integrity in politics, if maybe not the only person I know in Congress anyway, on a national level. He does.

And he recently called for us to end funding Israel. He says, if Israel insists on destroying civilian targets in Lebanon, let them buy and build their own weapons. American taxpayers should not be funding this. And so he shows this building. So that's an apartment building. And then it gets leveled. Here it is. It gets leveled. Watch. Let me get to the video. Here it is.

So Thomas Massey's conclusion is we should stop funding and Israel and let them build their own weapons. What do you say to that, Tim? Oh, boy. This is not an easy one, is it? But I would say I closely agree.

closely I'm not well versed enough to come out make it a bit of statement that we should defund completely but I will I will try get my best answer which is it's one thing to say we have a long-standing military alliance with Israel their enemies that are attacking it and we want to make sure that they're able to defend themselves Iran's firing missiles has bullets firing missiles but yeah when we come to the point where civilian buildings in Lebanon are being bombed by Israel we're looking at an expansion of war which I don't think the US people in a military alliance

have agreed to or declared themselves. Which would be the simple answer is, if Israel wants to make moves externally which are basically declarations of war or expansions of war, then Congress probably has to make a declaration that the United States is on board with this conflict if we're sending money to that.

So I'm not the smartest guy in the world on this issue. I'm not going to pretend to have the best answers in the world. But what I can say is, at the very least, the moment Israel makes a move like this, funding should be suspended for any external conflict. And Congress should probably have to make a statement. Because if we're funding Israel, who's using rockets to blow up targets in Israel, that's the U.S. being involved in war. Now, unfortunately, Congress hasn't declared war since World War II, so I don't expect it to happen. But I would largely agree with Massey on this one.

Well, that's good. That's good to hear because I largely agree. And I'm when it comes to Israel and Gaza, I'm pretty radical as far as I can tell. Most people go ahead. I'm not nearly as radical. You know, I'm I'm I think there's with Ukraine. I think it's fairly cut and dry.

We do have an agreement. It was a paper agreement, not a real treaty, where we said if you get invaded and you give up your nukes, we'll defend you. I don't like the idea that one generation promises the children of the next. Ron Paul said that. That's a good point. And Ukraine just...

It doesn't make sense for the U.S. to be involved in this dispute, which is largely has to do with Sevastopol, the Russian industrial center and naval base. It's the home of their Black Sea Fleet. NATO is clearly creating war pressures by intervening in the way they've done over the past decade.

Israel is a longstanding ally going back 70 plus years. That being said, a really great point was made on my show. I can't remember who said it was. I'm sorry. It was Clint Russell. And he said the idea that the only way Israel can exist is through perpetual U.S. funding is absurd. And they should probably get to the point where they can sustain themselves. And I completely agree with that.

So there is a difference, and I don't think we should cut off funding for defensive purposes in the immediate because that would probably result in an Afghanistan times 10. But I think the goal right now should be setting a deadline of when they're gonna sustain themselves, when we decide we will not be involved. And I think it's fair to say that if they're now getting involved in external conflicts with countries like Lebanon and Iran,

we as the United States may agree to provide defense and funding to an ally, but if they're now sparking wars or, and by all means, look, someone's going to argue Lebanon, Hezbollah started the war, fine. But if a war is starting, Congress needs to declare whether or not we as the United States are going to be involved in that. And if we provide funding to Israel for which it is used to attack these countries, and that results in, say, Iran declaring war on us, Congress has to make a declaration. We can't just blindly fund these things.

Yeah, I would at least Trump. Trump, you saw what he said on the PBD podcast. I hope the other day he said that, you know, we he's not for regime change in Iran, that we can't even run our own country. So that seems like the sanest thing I've heard somebody say about Iran in a long time. Would you agree with that?

I do, but I will say I think Trump's going to be largely pro-Israel president. And while I'm not trying to suggest that I'm staunchly anti-Israel, I think people who are who are anti-intervention or concerned with war should recognize while Trump probably is going to say great things as pertains to Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan, China, Iran. I think when it comes to the conflict affecting Israel, Trump's probably going to offer a lot of funding and it's probably going to expand war in the region.

It's better, you know, do you think it's better for, you know, I was at the Democratic Convention and it's all very rah-rah war and they didn't want to get, there was no diplomacy. There was no like, so Trump says, I can get along with these tough guys. I get along with China. I get along with North Korea and Russia. And I know how to, and isn't that better than wanting to have war? I mean, what happened to diplomacy? Yeah.

It's crazy, isn't it? I do think I want to I want to put an addendum on what I just said. I think the greater probability with Trump is peace agreements and a de-escalation. I'm not saying it's a majority, but I'm saying it's high. It's a much higher likelihood than under the Democrat neoparty or neolib neocon uniparty.

But, you know, look, Donald Trump crossed the demilitarized zone into North Korea with no security detail. It's one of the greatest things he did in his first term. He walked across with Kim Jong Un. They shook hands. He stood in North Korea and he walked back. And I got to ask some of his staff about that. And they were like, we were freaking out because we didn't plan this. He just did it.

That's amazing. We're not friends with North Korea. We don't like how they run things. They're not good people, but we want peace. We don't want a war. We don't want nuclear weapons. And Trump recognizes that, and he got attacked in the media for these attempts at peace. Look, you're fighting with your neighbor because he keeps taking your newspaper or whatever. You come to an agreement and say, stop taking my newspaper. We're going to stop fighting. It doesn't mean you like each other, but it means we're going to chill things out.

They attack Trump over this and it's absurd. I even met a guy who hated Donald Trump. He had Trump derangement syndrome. And when he asked me, he's like, "How could you possibly like that guy?" And I said, "He crossed the DMZ with no security detail in an effort to show a peace offering to North Korea." And he goes, "No, he didn't. It never happened." The media doesn't want to admit that Donald Trump is the peace candidate.

They don't want people to realize that. They want you to think Trump is Hitler and he's going to start all these wars when he's, in fact, the only president in my lifetime who did not start a war. So I want to show you this. This was recently happened in Congress. Congressman Massey had now this is a former head of the FDA, Dr. Krause.

And so he's some kind of whistleblower or something, but let's watch. I just want to play this for you, and we'll talk about it. I'd like to show a video that Pfizer produced. This was an ad for, I believe it's for the boosters, maybe. You know that unwelcome guest everyone wishes would just leave already? That's COVID-19.

That's why I got the new updated booster designed to help protect against recent Omicron variants. Okay, that's good. Given that they weren't, this was an EUA product. Is there anything missing from this ad? Does that seem like a compliant ad to you?

Well, normally advertisements of products include some disclaimers, of course, in places you go for more information or a suggestion that one talk with one's physician and so forth. So it does seem like something is missing here. I'm going to ask you, Mr. Seary, was the FDA, not Dr. Krause, but was Dr. Marks aware of this?

of this video and isn't his, not within Dr. Krause's subdivision, but within a subdivision under Peter Marks, aren't they responsible for policing these things? And did Dr. Marks know about this, Ed? - Absolutely. Our firm sent a letter to the FDA about this advertisement and others, including on Sesame Street, saying, pointing out that they do not comply with the federal regulations and the federal law because

Even the EUA itself issued for the Pfizer COVID vaccine said that anytime the EUA product was gonna be promoted, there was a disclaimer that must be put on it saying, "This has not been licensed as safe and effective." But nonetheless, that disclaimer, you do not see it on that advertisement. And when we pointed out to the FDA, they did not do anything about it. Even worse, the CDC itself actually violated the rule

by promoting the vaccine is safe and effective when it was EUA. And we wrote a letter to the FDA saying, can you, you know, do you gonna enforce your rules against the CDC? And the FDA never took action. - Wasn't it the case that in 41 videos, Peter Marks himself, the person in charge of vaccine approval was making claims that were not vetted by the FDA. And in fact would have been illegal for the manufacturer to make yet the regulatory agency was making those claims.

I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY EXCEPTION THAT WOULD HAVE PERMITTED THE FDA ITSELF TO VIOLATE A REGULATION OR I BELIEVE OR THE UNITED STATES CODE IN WHICH IT WAS THAT PARTICULAR DISCLAIMER IS DERIVED FROM. THANK THE GENTLEMEN FROM NORTH.

First of all, Martha Stewart is not a samurai. Samurais have honor. They would have gut themselves before disgrace. She is a Ronin and just honors the highest bidder. So just so you know that. So what they're saying there is that commercial that was made by the FDA and the FDA was violating its own regulations because the booster was still under emergency youth authorization. And that's what they're saying.

Yep. And so they didn't run it. They're supposed to run disclaimers saying that. And they didn't listen. Every drug, Jimmy, that you've ever seen advertised on television has a whole list of this may cause. Yes. Dizziness, you know, anal leakage. Yeah. And then you show a guy washing a boat and he's like, what are you saying? So I'm trying to wash a boat. Try to wash your boat. I heard something about blindness. Hey, I got a boat.

And so here is the Sesame Street commercial. I learned that Elmo getting vaccinated is the best way to keep himself, our friends, neighbors, and everyone else healthy and enjoying the things they love. Oh, Daddy! Elmo and baby David have a question. Can we have a hug? Oh, come here, son.

Elmo loves you, Daddy. I love you. Just Dad. It's okay to have questions about COVID vaccines for your kids. Is it? Get the latest facts by speaking to your pediatrician or healthcare provider.

The 750 a head they were making, right? That was their bounty on sticking that in your kids? Well, it's worse than that because pediatricians were getting paid as a percentage of the kids in their practice groups that were getting shot. So you actually got incentivized based on the percentage of children that got the shot. And somehow, mysteriously, nobody bothered to point out to any parent

that the spike protein seems to not only localize, but actually aggregate and perpetuate in reproductive organs. So the great news is not only are we going to have our children exposed to the high risks of cardiovascular disease and cancer, but we're also going to do everything we can to make sure that they do not have the capacity to reproduce. Well, that's an old dream. That's a dream they've had for quite some time.

Between that and then giving them a gender-affirming hysterectomy at a young age, we got every possible Nazi way to sterilize people. The useless eaters, I guess you'd call us. I got to tell you, I was not ready for this.

I thought you already knew this. No, I mean, no. I didn't know like this. No, this is... It gets much worse. I thought that there were things. Jimmy, we've scratched the surface of this. We've got 68 other pathogens that are ready for deployment. Cut his mic. Okay. Okay, can you...

Can you stick around for one more? I'm going to put I got to load in one more segment, something about bird flu. Hey, Jimmy. Yes. You know what you're doing? You know what you're doing right now, which is really good. Now, what's it's really good. You're actually doing what every normal person should do when exposed to this kind of information, because this is the evidence of.

a moral compass, an ethical framework, all of the things that are lacking from the public discourse. And what you're doing right now is a massive, massive service to everybody who's watching this because this is the feeling.

The feeling you have right now is the feeling that we should have so that we can actually recognize that the people who are doing this are actually not making oversights, accidents. This isn't a mere clerical error. This is premeditated. This is malice aforethought. And this is criminal acts. And what you're doing right now is what all of us should be able to do, which is to go, oh, my God.

It's a lot worse than I thought. I mean, I bought the Echo Health Alliance thing. I bought that they that this, you know, cover story. That's all bullshit.

Remember you thought Cornel West was real? Look, I'm into way crazier shit than this. Don't even phase me. We cover just regular news of the evil. These people are despicable. If they were at least like lizard people, that would explain it a little better. That would actually... Okay, I get it. They're lizards. But just the regular stuff we cover every day. Of course they would do this. Why would they not do this? So you're saying...

Barack Obama is aware of all this? No question. He was not only aware of it, he was briefed on it at the beginning of his presidency by the people who bought his presidency. Code name renegade.

And so there, I mean, we've covered excess deaths here, right? So we know that story. And we know that people are dying at 10 to 40% higher rates than normal. And that's not being reported in the regular pharma-funded news. And, you know, when I bring it up to people, I go, hey, you should look into excess deaths. They look at me like I got two heads. And so... Well, that's the mind control part. So I know there's, I know that...

What we've been doing has been causing excess deaths. And and I but I didn't know it was intentional. I thought that, you know, this was just some scam. But you're saying, let's go back. Let's go back for something. Remember, Remdesivir, Ralph Barrett made it with Anthony Fauci's money. And let's just play for slow motion just to get this into our heads.

The World Health Organization pulled it from clinical trials in Africa because it was killing 53 percent of the people who got it, killing them. And in the study that the World Health Organization used to pull that drug.

They said it was killing people regardless of viral load, which means that healthy people who had no Ebola were being injected with remdesivir and killed. 53% fatality rate from the drug. The World Health Organization said it was too unethical to use in Africa for Ebola trials. And Anthony Fauci sat next to the president in the spring of 2020 and said, let's use remdesivir.

For COVID. The World Health Organization said it was too deadly to be ethical. So, first of all, it sounds deadlier than Ebola.

It is deadlier than Ebola. There's nothing that has a 53% kill rate. So you're... It is naturally circulating. So I knew Anthony Fauci was evil. Well, I just touched a thing where he experimented on foster kids. Yeah, and I know he experimented on foster kids with AIDS stuff. But you think he draws the line at...

But this seems, you know, this is like Pol Pot, Hitler, Stalin. Yeah, it's above his head, by the way. It's like combined, right? No, it's the people in charge is above him. Way, way, way past all of them. They're worse than any criminal in human history. So that's what I've been saying. Even if the cover story was true and he funded the Echo Health Alliance, which created the COVID, and then you say all the deaths that came. So he's responsible for that. Even if the cover story was true. But you're saying it's way worse, that it's actually intentional.

This is hard. This is hard. Okay, so hang on. In 2015, Peter Daszak said, to get the public to accept the need for medical countermeasures, such as a pan-coronavirus vaccine, we need the media to create hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process.

That statement was made in 2014, published in 2015 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. That is a statement of domestic terrorism, a statement of racketeering, and a statement of coercive intent to kill human beings. And it was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Jimmy, this is not an accidental slip up of overzealous people like Gates. This is a premeditated murder of humanity. That is what it is. So there's no way I can drop this video on YouTube. Hey, remember, I'm not kidding. There's no way. I mean, they'll take my channel down. So are you getting this message out other places?

Yeah, four billion people have seen my European Union speech, which I did at the European Union Parliament. It's the most downloaded video in human history. And where was that? Where is that? It's up on X. It's up on Rumble. It's up on BitChute. It's up on everything that can keep it up. And ironically, Google keeps trying to take it off of YouTube and it keeps showing up. Before I let you go, I just wanted to show you this. This was a kind of an amazing story.

the man who Trump freed from federal prison. So they always say Donald Trump is a racist and he's black. Of course, we know that Joe Biden is the reason why black and brown people are locked up much higher rates than their population because of the crime bill, which he still brags about and has never apologized for. Well, Donald Trump actually did the STEP Act, which led a lot of people of color out of prison. He served almost two decades for a nonviolent crime. He was just a released...

a video thanking Donald Trump. And here it is. Let me play it for you. Man, I just want to thank these people in this book and show them some appreciation. Well, he wrote a book about it. Wow. For being a part of my life and helping me turn my storm into a story and write a book called Duke Got Life because on October 21st, 2020,

President Donald J. Trump was used as a vessel, and he freed me after losing all my appeals and being denied by the Obama administration. And I had no way of coming home on a double life sentence for a nonviolent drug crime. But because of God and him, I will never surrender. You should need it. God bless you all. Thank you. Wow. So that's pretty powerful stuff, don't you think? Yeah. I like Trump. Okay, go ahead. I like Trump.

And isn't it wild that

Like they never talk about this in the media. They never talk about the step back. Trump almost never talks about it. When he when he went and he was interviewed by the National Association of Black Journalists, he didn't even bring it up. And I'm like, he didn't bring up Kamala Harris for imprisoning black people for the prison labor. He didn't bring that up. He didn't bring up the step back. Isn't it? It's just amazing, right? How reality is so much different than than what is the propaganda that is painted in the corporate media. Right.

Yeah. Look at the Atlantic piece they just put out the other day or last week. It says Trump is speaking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. OK, the Hitler thing didn't work. They're going to try all three now. But it's wild that people have this perception. I went to when Trump was running the first time I went to Trump Tower Wednesday.

He has the ice cream shop in there, he's got the steakhouse. And I went to the employees and I was like, I ordered a scoop of ice cream and I asked the guy, I was like, "So do you see Trump come down here a lot?" And he's like, "Yeah, yeah, he's down here quite a bit." I said, "How is he? Do you like him?" "Oh, we love the guy, he's so nice." And I was like, "Yeah." And he's like, whenever he comes down, he hands out $100 bills to everybody.

And I'm like, "Really?" So I was at Mar-a-Lago earlier in the year, and I go to the gift shop, and there's some nice ladies working there. And they've been there for decades, and I said, "So how do you like working for Donald Trump?" And they're like, "Oh, he's fantastic. "He's such a nice, he's a gentleman, "and he comes in, he's very nice to us, he compliments you." And then I said, "Yeah, does he do anything, "like when he comes in, does he help you guys out? "Does he give you stuff?" And sure enough, they go, "He comes in and he hands us $100 bills."

And then I'm like, well, there's one way to get people to like you. But the narrative I hear from the people who've actually worked for him is he's a really nice guy. He takes care of everybody. He hands out hundred dollar bills. There was another story where a guy, Trump was in his limo and he got a flat tire. And this couple pulled over and

And asked if they needed any help fixing the tire. And so they helped the guy. Trump's waiting for the tire to get fixed. And this guy helped. And the next thing the guy knows, his mortgage was paid off. And Trump got asked about that. Is that a true story? And Trump's like, yeah. And they're like, you never talk about it. And he's like, well, how am I going to talk about it? Just come out and announce it. 20 years ago, paid a guy's mortgage off? No, I just, you know, just did it.

And so those are the stories the media doesn't cover. They don't want to push a narrative where it's Donald Trump actually didn't start any wars. He is far from perfect. You know, there were an increase in drone strikes. They were they were commando raids, things we don't like. But he did inherit wars. He did set timelines to get our troops out of the Middle East. He did try to bring these peace agreements. And that flies in the face of the deep state. So the corporate narrative has to always be the most insane and absurd things. But you know what?

When they get to the point where they say Trump says he wants generals like Hitler and he's talking like Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini. I'm like, yeah, I think at a certain point the public just becomes desensitized and says you're lying and none of this makes sense anymore. And so it may not be the positive stories, but I think now we're at the point where when they run these hit pieces against Trump, the average person just waves it off like it's just this is just nonsense.

I really do think they overplayed their hand. And I, you know, I make the point in my stand up act that my whole life, the establishment loved Donald Trump. He was on the cover of every magazine. He hosted Saturday Night Live. He did commercials for computer companies, did a commercial for McDonald's in 2002. He they gave him his own network television show for 10 years. They Hollywood nominated him for Emmys. They loved Donald Trump.

Up until, as Tucker Carlson said, they're afraid he's going to do one less war than they want. Yep. And that's it. And, you know, and I also found out that January 6th in Brazil, they did their own version of January 6th. Did you know about that story?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I just found out about that. Even had a shaman. No kidding? Well, I don't know if it's true, but there is a guy from a Brazilian protest who is wearing shaman-like gear, but I don't think... I don't know if it was the same political protest. It was... Okay. People were joking about it. Yeah, but it is funny. Well, Tim, it's great to talk to you. Thanks for coming on. Always good to talk with you, and I'm glad to hear you're going to have...
