Time Text
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, this is Al Pacino.
Oh, hi, Al.
How's it going?
I am very frustrated.
Why?
Jimmy, I was just over at Rouse in Studio City.
That place looks like it's been ransacked.
I got, you know, this little snack that I like.
I haven't been able to find it anywhere for weeks.
What the hell's going on over here?
Yeah, Al, we're supposedly experiencing major problems right now with the supply chain.
The what?
The supply chain.
Who is that?
No, the supply chain is the worldwide transportation and logistics network that delivers goods from point of origin to point of sale.
It's breaking down, Al.
How come nobody ever told me about this crazy fucking thing?
Because global capitalism doesn't want people thinking about it.
They just want people thinking that they live in a world of constant availability and abundance.
They don't want people knowing it hangs by a thread and like every part of the system serves the rich instead of the consumer.
Well, what's wrong with it?
Maybe you and I can fix it.
Well, Al, ports of entry are backlogged for one thing, and there's also a shortage of truck drivers.
Well, where did they go?
They all get stuck in roadside glory holes or something.
I want my fucking snakes.
I don't know where they went, Al.
Hell, I'll drive a truck.
I'll help out.
The supply chain.
You drive one too, and Ron Picole and Steph and me will have ourselves a convoy.
I don't know how to drive a truck, Al.
Oh, you got to know how to do that.
Yeah, it's not like driving a car.
Oh, I don't know how to do that either.
Look, it's not just snacks, Al.
There are scarcity of semiconductors and chips available right now, too.
Chips, that's the stack.
No, computer, computer chips.
I don't remember the brand name, but it's got a little guy on it.
When I see him, I know to grab that bag.
Delicious.
Okay, no, I mean the miniature circuitry required by literally every manufactured device anymore, especially cars.
There's a car shortage, Al.
This is what happens when you send your entire manufacturing sector abroad.
Whoa.
Also, Butterball has announced there will be a shortage of smaller turkeys this Thanksgiving season.
They'll mainly have giant turkeys.
That's how weird it gets.
Are you serious?
Yes.
I'm serious.
Well, then it's a Thanksgiving miracle.
Everybody knows the best part of Thanksgiving is the leftovers.
Turkey sandwiches for days.
I better have my fucking chips by then.
Hey, is this because of that ship that got stuck in the canal a while ago?
I'm sure that didn't help, but not really.
This is many causes.
It's very complicated, and you can bet your bottom dollar that someone is profiting.
Yeah, but probably that ship guy.
The captain?
No, I doubt it.
Again, the stuck ship is not the cause here.
Jimmy, I don't do well with complicated explanations for things.
I like explanations to be simple for me.
So I kind of need the stuck ship to be the reason here for all this shit.
You need to let me have this, Jimmy.
Okay.
Okay.
So the stuck ship is the reason why I don't have chips with the little guy on them.
Yes, Al, the stuck ship.
Thank you.
This is all I needed.
Now I could finally fall asleep.
Al Pacino, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm here with Nick Cruz from the Brett Hampton leftist, and we're going to talk about Joe Biden has approval ratings dropped to new low.
Only 38% of Americans gave Joe Biden's job performance approval, down from 42% three weeks ago.
Wow.
Only 38 approve of Joe Biden's.
So here's the question.
What do you make of these polls?
And they asked Jen Saki.
You're not supposed to pronounce the P. Jen Saki.
Which is what I like to get.
I like to get a chilled sake when I go have sushi.
So Jen Psaki says this.
We have very tough approval ratings these days.
I know you probably like to talk about polls, and you might say that they don't mean anything, but it's also fair to say the White House, when there are good polls, you publicize them.
So what do you make of these really terrible polls?
Are they that he's doing something wrong?
Is it just the communication, or is it he's doing a popular things that have to be done?
Or something else?
Sure.
Well, look, I would say that this is a really tough time in our country.
We're still battling COVID, and a lot of people thought we'd be through it, including us.
And we, because of the rise of the Delta variant, because of the fact that even though it was a vaccine that was approved under a Republican administration, even though we now have full FDA approval, and even though it's widely available across the country, we still have a quarter of the country who have less than that, 20% of the country who've decided not to get vaccinated.
No question that's having an impact.
Oh, my God.
Of course, as the president has said, the buck stops with him.
Oh, but the buck stops with him.
I thought you just blamed the 20% of people who are unvaccinated.
Hey, at least I didn't blame Russia.
That's kind of amazing.
By the way, vaccinated person here, I disapprove of Joe Biden.
I totally, and she sounds like that guy sounded like he had a British accent or something, which makes sense because most American journalists who are allowed in that room wouldn't ask a difficult question of Jensaki.
And when, when, and by the way, when she says the buck stops with him, what she means is he's not going to have much of a spending bill.
That's what that means.
So, and by the way, she would have blamed Russia if she could have thought of it in time.
It's just, she just didn't think of it.
She's not against blaming Russia.
And I want to tell you, so here is the real problem.
Frustration is at an all-time high behind Biden's falling poll numbers.
This is from the freaking Jeff Bezos-owned Washington Post.
All right.
Again, so this isn't some crazy idea that a comedian on YouTube is telling you.
Even the establishment recognizes This shit.
Just like the establishment recognizes that the squad could run Congress if they wanted to.
It isn't some crazy idea by a comedian Jimmy Dore, although people want you to think that.
The same thing is, the poll numbers are real.
Joe Biden, the Democrats got complete control of government, and they're fucking failing.
Mondale Robinson spent a large chunk last fall in Georgia clubs, bars, and concert venues convincing disenfranchised black men and men that casting a ballot in the 2020 general election, then the Georgia runoffs for the U.S. Senate, could finally mean real change in their communities.
Remember that?
Voter, we're going to give you a $2,000 check.
We got to get the majority in Congress.
They got all that.
They got all that.
Remember what he told everybody in Georgia that they're going to get you the $2,000 check to be in the mail?
That never happened.
He remembers the exact moment his optimism that President Biden would be different began to fade.
When Democrats in May significantly weakened a police reform bill to get Republican support, more disappointment followed.
Robinson was dismayed that Biden did not push to enact a $15 minimum wage that he promised.
That thing that they all promised, they didn't do it.
I think the frustration is at an all-time high, and Biden can't go to Georgia or any other black state in the South and say, this is what we delivered in 2021.
Hey, who stoked for the midterms?
Black men are pissed off about the nothingness that has happened.
Does it make the work harder?
It makes it damn near impossible.
After an initial burst of support, Biden has seen his approval ratings fall significantly in recent months.
Polls show support for Biden has sunk, notably among key Democratic constituencies: blacks, Latinos, women, and young people.
Pew Research found Biden's approval rating among black Americans fell from 85% in July to 67% in September, while also falling 16 points among Hispanics and 14 points among Asians.
Minority voters who helped fuel Biden's victory now see what they consider unfulfilled promises and dwindling hope for meaningful change.
And remember this?
Oh, uh-oh, I'm in trouble.
Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, BP Biden.
I will.
It's a long way until November.
We got more questions.
You got more questions.
I tell you, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for Mayor Trump and you ain't black, it don't have nothing to do with Trump.
It has to do with the fact I want something for my community.
I would love to see.
Take a look at my record, man.
Let's take a look at his record.
The crime bill, the Iraq war, separate busing.
I want a bill of fence at the border.
I don't want my kids growing up in a racial jungle.
Take a look at my record.
Kids in cages, we're looking at your record.
When I look at the record, you wrote the goddamn crime bill.
This is exactly what it and what did Ice Cube tell us?
The way it looks, they don't have a plan.
Everybody's, you know, talking about get Trump out, get Trump out, get Trump out.
If you vote, that's going to happen on the first day.
So now what?
Trump out now what?
What?
What do we get in the first hundred days?
That's what we're trying to figure out.
What do we actually get that they could give us overnight like that?
They just pulled $3 trillion out their ass and gave it to their friends.
That's American taxpayer money.
That's your money that they just gave away.
And then there's half 42% of black businesses closing.
None of that money.
Where's our fucking bailout?
Where's the bailout?
Not the PPP loan that they didn't give us.
Where's the bailout?
I don't want to hear about deficit.
I don't want to hear about what our generations are going to have to pay.
Because if we don't have shit, they ain't going to have shit anyway to pay nothing.
So we got to start something right now.
Democrats don't seem like they got a plan.
Republicans don't seem like they got a plan for us.
So how the hell are you going to vote for them?
Make them earn that vote.
They can start today.
They ain't got it yet.
They can start today.
Make the ass earn that vote, man.
Stop playing with these people and they'll stop playing with you.
That's exactly what the message that Jimmy Dore showed.
Of course, he got pilloried for that and we got pilloried for it too.
And I told people like Michael fucking, what is his name?
The guy who did bowling for Colin Wine.
Michael Moore, quit pledging your vote to the fucking machine without extracting anything for your vote.
It doesn't make you a good boy.
It makes you the proper up of the establishment that is crushing workers.
So that's what I told people like Michael Moore, who will never, ever not withhold his vote from a Democrat.
He'll never do that.
He will always vote for the Democrat, no matter what.
He's spineless and he's now part of the, these people are propping up the establishment.
This guy was right.
Ice Cube was right and they all shit on him and they didn't extract anything for their vote.
And now that Joe Biden, he's not even giving them stuff that Joe Biden and the Democrats promised.
They're not even doing that.
They're not even giving you a $15 minimum wage.
They're not even giving you a public option.
They're not giving you anything.
No student debt relief.
No nothing.
This is the Washington Post.
This isn't Jimmy Dore and Ice Cube and the Fred Hampton leftists.
This is the Washington Post.
Jeff Bezos owns.
That's how bad it is.
They can't ignore it.
In some sense, the benefit of the doubt portion of Biden's presidency is over.
While the president gained initial goodwill among many from simply not being Donald Trump, now those who supported him are demanding results.
If midterms are about enthusiasm and turnout, who do you think is excited to vote on November 2nd at this moment, said chief executive of the New Georgia Project, which has registered more than a half million voters?
Because it ain't Democrats, it ain't black folks, and it ain't young people.
They are not excited about voting in the midterms.
The concern that we have is that the Democratic Party, they keep repeating the same mistakes.
Yeah, we worked for something here.
Let's try something new.
Let's be different.
What good is a politician that doesn't work for the benefit of the community that elected him?
There it is.
And I just want to play this for you.
Here's Joe Biden trying to earn the vote of the black community, and they let him off the hook.
Listen to this.
And so we would ask you to lend your voice and your strength and your influence.
So this is when he had a Zoom meeting with all the black leaders from across the country, and they were imploring him to do something for their community.
And this is what he did.
Your power and your ability to reach across the aisle to try and pass the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act.
But failing that, we would ask you to pull from that act measures that can be enacted by executive order.
You have the power to call for a national database on police misconduct.
You have the power to ask for a registry that will allow people to easily search in public multiple misconduct complaints against particular officers.
You have the ability to impose a database around police killings and police shootings.
And these are things that you can do by executive order.
Okay, let me respond.
I've got to go.
Let me respond.
There's a lot to respond to here.
Let's get something straight.
You shouldn't be disappointed.
What I've done so far is more than anybody else has done this far.
Okay, number one.
Number two, I mean what I say when I say it.
I mean what I say when I say it.
I'm the only person who's ever run on free platforms that I was told could not possibly win the election.
And I never ceased from it.
One was on restoring the soul of this country because of what I saw happen in Charlottesville.
That was it.
No one else was talking about it.
The words of Presidents Matter.
Nobody else, no progressive was talking about.
I did.
I did.
That was his response to them asking him to use executive orders.
He starts yelling at them.
And guess what?
They took it and they voted for him.
They did.
Here's a little bit more of his answer.
But I have a more of a record of getting things done in the United States Congress than anybody you know.
Anybody you know.
Anybody you know.
That's how he responded.
So let me bring in Nick from the Fred Hampton leftists.
Would you want to respond to Joe Biden's falling poll numbers?
I have a lot to say about that.
For one, let me start off with this.
We talked about Jim Pisaki in the beginning.
I say it straight up.
That Job Shin exists.
That Job Shin exists.
That should be Joe Biden taking those questions.
Yeah.
They were like, oh, Joe Biden's too busy.
No, he's not.
No, he's not, for one.
He should be able to face the media and the American people every week to explain his policies and why he is failing.
And that goes for every single president.
Sarah Huckabee Sanderson is this.
Jerry Basaki Shin is this.
Tell me why the president shouldn't take fucking questions from the media, for one.
Secondly, you got a lot of stuff.
You got a lot of crap for warning people about Joe Biden.
I have to.
Us at the Fred Hampton leftists, all of us been warning people about Joe Biden.
And I've seen this stuff go on in the campaign trail.
And then there's their boutique, privileged white leftists who got mad at me for not voting for this racist.
And now there are people they had to reconcile with the fact.
And this is why Biden's numbers is dropping.
They had to reconcile for the fact that they voted for a racist segregationist that is about to deport more people than Donald Trump did.
These people got mad at me.
I ain't got no apologies yet, despite all the stuff you see that he's doing that is destroying the black community.
And I said before, nobody has done more damage to the black community than Joe Biden.
And it's not even close.
It's not even close.
When you look at the crime bill, when you look at the bankruptcy bill, when you look at his time, literally, like literally being a show for Wall Street and the credit card companies that stole our wealth, he literally built the civil asset forfeiture law.
And that steals our wealth.
Who is more anti-black than Joe Biden?
And I warn people this.
Ice Cube warned people this, and they got attacked.
I remember I was like, I said everything that's going to happen here.
I said, yo, if Joe Biden wins, that's going to be the rise of neoliberalism.
Any progressive thought is going to be crushed like we have seen.
The black community will be crushed.
You got people that say, oh, we support reparations.
The Green Party have reparations on their ticket, but you guys voted for Jim Crow Joe instead.
You had Black Lives Matter after the election declaring victory.
They was like, we did it.
We got the racist out of the White House.
How ridiculous is this?
Jim Crow Joe is the racist.
And now the people, their Trump derainment syndrome has worn off.
And now they realize they voted for the same guy, except for the blue team.
So it's very interesting and also kind of very frustrating because all the people who attacked me, all the friendships I lost, because I, as a black man who was a victim of Joe Biden's policies, spoke on them.
You can't do that.
You red burn the lines.
You're going to help Trump win.
And now they're wondering why they're not getting anything progressive done.
If only there was a black leftist, us at the Fred Hampton leftist, that was warning you guys this.
Well, look, same thing with Ice Cube.
There's another black leftist warning people of it, and they shit all over them.
So, yeah.
It's amazing how they can get leftists and black people and people of color to support the establishment that is crushing them.
And I showed you that meeting with the black civil rights leaders, the African-American civil rights leaders, they didn't push back on that shit, did they, Nick?
They told people to vote for him.
They didn't say, fuck this guy.
This guy's not going to help us.
They didn't do that, did they?
Not at all.
And once again, I can't emphasize enough, like, when you saw Ice QE attacked, you guys got to understand what that is.
When Nikki Minaj get attacked by the establishment in a coordinated way, because both those are coordinated events.
When you see that, you got to understand what that is.
That is the establishment telling our black influential leaders, you better stay in line.
I remember when I made that tweet that the shit list was very upset about because I told you guys this will happen.
If we fall in line for Joe Biden, we'll be in the worst position.
You had John Legend that was like, oh, you tell me if we don't vote for Joe Biden, it'd be the end of our democracy.
Jesus.
So John Legend is one of the black shit libs that fall in line for the Hollywood machine.
Yes.
Like a lot of them have done.
And us at the Fred Hampton leftists, we are here to remind these people that these people are class loyal first, black second.
That's why you have Mauryan Freeman coming out for the giant police state that doesn't justify itself.
Because they are loyal to their class.
They are loyal to the Democratic Party.
And that's why these leaders has led us off a cliff.
They sold us out to the police state two times.
The black boomers, the black celebrity and the black millionaire class.
In the 90s, when they fell in line with the crime bill, the black aggressional caucus.
And now they did again.
Now they fall in line with the national security state that will surveil our movements.
Like they said they will do.
You got the Democrats who are pro-CIA and they monitor our chats and our protests.
Rob Raw Democrat Party, though.
Yeah.
There you go.
Keep voting for, keep giving your vote to the people who are oppressing you and wondering why shit doesn't get better.
Keep pretending that the people who are fucking things up are people with no money and no power in their garage doing a YouTube show.
Keep on getting mad at nobody with power.
But don't get mad at the people who have the power to help you and absolutely won't.
We're doing stand-up Comedy in Florida in West Palm Beach and Danya, and then we're going to Buffalo, Baltimore, Tempe, and Portland.
Go to jimmydoorcomedy.com for a link for all our tickets.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
This is Bernard Bernie Sanders, pragmatic, progressive, and gruff but lovable, former leader of the now non-existent left-wing division of the former left-wing.
Weighing a goddamn ding-ding.
Bernie, have you been drinking?
I wouldn't call it gen fizz drinking, but I would call it a modest start.
Bernie, what's happening?
Not much, really.
Just taking it one day at a time, doing that all a revolution thing.
You know, the usual.
Anyway, so what's the weather like in Los Angeles right now?
What's the point of asking?
It's like 70 degrees there all day long every day and week, isn't it?
No wonder you're all a bunch of insufferable twits.
Not here in Vermont.
In Vermont, the sun disappears in October.
Bird's time mid flight and clog up all the leaf cutters.
The only thing we have to look forward to is eating away our pain at Ben and Jerry's and standing nude 10 minutes a day in front of a vitamin D lamp.
By January, we've all looked like two-legged translucent pupis in search of donuts and coffee.
It's fucking horrific.
Bernie, did you want to say something?
Yeah, remember during the primaries when I said I would personally bond storm states like Virginia against senators like Joe Manchin and have my vice president overrule the Senate parliamentarian in order to rally public opinion and pass Medicare for all.
Yes, I do, Bernie.
Well, I was completely full of bullshit.
It was literally coming out of my ears.
But why, Bernie?
Why, Bernie?
What do you mean, but why, Bernie?
All those campaign stops, all those time-side-ish people, those big huge goggies audiences to tell me personally how Medicare for all would help their lives.
Listening to all their horrible tear jokes, jerking stories of deedless debt and physical terror.
Spending hours, days on the phone arguing, pleading with insurance companies and call centers to fill their insulin prescriptions and thyroid pills.
It was invigorating, inspiring, moving.
We connected.
We trusted each other.
I never felt so alive.
I had them in the palm of my hands.
I know.
What happened?
I was completely full of bullshit.
It was literally coming out of my ears.
You just said that.
Now the party won't even let me be part of the reconciliation negotiations.
It goes on and on and on with all kinds of talking and nothing happening.
What did you expect from Democrats, Bernie?
I at least thought we'd get another task force out of this.
I'll admit, I'm very depressed.
But I have a way of coping now.
What's that?
We have a drinking game at my house called This Is Unacceptable.
I watch clips of my 20-year-old speeches, and every time I use the word unacceptable, I take a drink.
The corporate-controlled media has never addresses the needs of the people, and this is unacceptable.
I'm working 60 hours a week, got no health care for my family, and Tom Roque is telling me the economy is booming.
This is unacceptable.
Low-rise sweatpants, shredded turtlenecks, have aggressively gelled frosted tips.
This is unacceptable.
Drink, get my drink.
I agree.
Those were ugly times, but what about now?
I'm seriously considering a sternly worded note or even a letter.
Wow.
I'll have to take it up with a task force of sternly worded letters for more guidelines regarding this.
But rest assured, I will continue to put my foot down on stuff I should have put my foot down for 10 years ago.
Because what's happened now is simply unacceptable.
Drink.
All right.
AOC voted present on funding the Iron Dome.
And it was after Nancy Pelosi got in her face and yelled at her for about five minutes.
We all saw it.
I showed it on this show.
And she did what Nancy Pelosi told her to do, which is the exact opposite thing she said she would do when she was asking for your vote.
When she was asking for your vote, she was saying she was going to oppose Nancy Pelosi and the Democratic establishment.
Why?
Because the Democratic Party is a right-wing party.
That's what she said.
And now she's 100% supporting everything they do and not opposing any of it.
And so she was asked by, listen to this word salad.
Did you see this, Nick, when Mehdi asks her, why did you vote that way?
Because you pissed off everybody.
Listen to this word salad.
Here we go.
I was doing present because it didn't really satisfy anyone.
The supporters of Israel are mad at you for not voting for it.
Critics of Israel are mad at you for not voting against it.
Do you regret that?
You know, it is something that I weigh because there's always the macro and then there's the micro.
And in the macro of narrative, of politics, of national impact, you know, I probably should have just gone with my value.
But in the macro, what about the macro?
No.
But in the micro, I do believe that this created a window in our community to be able to bring all folks to the table because my great fear is that we are going to import the same sort of contention around this issue.
And we can have a progressive movement that defends Palestinian human rights.
That's Muslim, Christian, Jewish.
In the macro?
Is that in the midro?
In the micro, I believe that it can be a window of opportunity for us in the Bronx.
What did the Bob the Micro?
But in the macro, it was very difficult.
Oh.
Nick, does that mean anything to you, what you just said about macro and micros?
Does that sound like a word salad?
Go ahead.
That sounds like a deeply unserious person to me.
Like, straight up.
And this is why the liberal class loves her now.
You notice that?
You know, the liberal Twitter class, Blue Checks.
They prop her up all the time.
Slay Queen, they love AOC.
She gives them cover to make them seem more progressive than what they are, right?
And that's why the shit lived Blue Checks.
They loved them some AOC now.
But that statement, more now, to get more serious, that statement is an insult to the Palestinian people.
It's an insult.
I couldn't agree more.
And how, can you imagine being an AOC supporter defending that?
I mean, they're not embarrassed.
They're not embarrassed.
Literally, they're not embarrassed.
It's crazy to me.
They're imperialists, too.
I realize that, Jimmy, because when I actually talk to, there's a lot of people that used to like me because I was helping Bernie on the campaign.
I used to like AOC back in the day.
And then I legitimately asked these people, like, what is your criticism of my criticism?
When I see that speech, when I see her continue to be complicit with funding the police more being weak on Cuba, giving Joe Biden a pass for bombing Syria and on and on and on.
I'll give you an example.
She follows Juan Guaido on Twitter.
She's supposed to be Venezuelan coup.
So when people get mad at me, like, why do you hate AOC?
What is your criticism of my criticism?
And then when I probed them, I realized they kind of agree.
They kind of agree with the imperialism.
They kind of agree with the Iron Dome.
The progressives, accept Palestine people, right?
And that would AOC are trying to defend with that war salad that she's given.
Right, Jimmy?
She just, what she did was enable, well, this person, Mick Wallace, says, sadly, AOC can talk nonsense about the macro and the micro and get away with it when dealing with mainstream media like Medi.
But the truth is more simple.
AOC voted to give more money to apartheid state, Israel, so that it can continue to commit genocide against the Palestinians.
And that's why she has to say shit like, well, the macro and the micro, I don't want to import this contention.
And what the, so here's what she sounds like.
This guy does a great job.
This is a great impression of AOC.
Oh, absolutely.
And I do believe there is something to be said about this sort of, how do I put this, willing ignorance, right?
This sort of duality between that consciousness of being aware in such a manner and yet readily marginalizing that intersectionality.
It's very profound.
These conversations are intrinsically multifaceted, right?
There are different angles to be looking at this from.
And it's crucial to juxtapose that contrast within those realms of varying perspectives.
And it's sort of the case where, you know, are we asking ourselves the right questions or are we all just sort of victim to the cause itself?
It's suffocating, to be quite frank.
It's paralyzing.
But having these conversations is extremely, extremely vital in fundamental change.
This is that's amazing.
I wish I had the whole thing.
That guy nails it.
That's a nail.
Because here she is.
She likes to do that thing where she does the macro, microphone.
We're going to figure that out.
What are you going to do?
You asked us what we're going to do.
What are you guys going to do?
What we're going to do.
The CDC just announced an eviction moratorium.
And what we're here here is for our reasons known and unknown.
Our reasons known and unknown.
Macro, micro, the how to the what.
And by the way, their eviction moratorium was a scam, 100% bullshit PR stunt.
And nobody has invited me on their show to debate that point.
And I would.
100% fucking scam.
They're scammers.
She's sitting there lying to you that what they're doing is actually real.
It was not real.
Guess what?
DC suspends clearing of NOMA encampments after unhoused person hit by bulldozer.
How well did that go?
How did that eviction moratorium go?
How well did it go?
You guys, how'd that sleepover go?
Hey, that slumber party was really helpful.
I'll bring in Nick from the Fred Hampton leftist.
Nick, you have anything to say about AOC's word salad?
AOC is just like people who judge now.
Like when I listen to her, that sounds exactly like people who judge.
Who's her coach?
It's almost like they want her to be embarrassed.
And I talked to Max Blumenthal, and I told him my criticism of AOC is they are just horrible leftist leaders and communicators.
And the reason why they didn't want to take on this fight, because their logic is, oh, we will be attacked by the media.
We'd be attacked by the Israeli lobby.
We'd be attacked when we call anti-Semitic.
And my response to that as a leftist is bring it on.
We are in the right here.
Why can't she communicate these ideas?
The Iron Dome, this is why you had to explain.
The Iron Dome is not defensive.
That's absurd.
If you are an overwhelming offensive force and an occupier, something that shields you from the self-defense of the people you are genociding is by definition cannot be considered defensive.
Why can't AOC make this argument?
Why can't they make the argument against Israel?
Israel attacks Syria on almost a weekly basis.
They illegally occupy the Golden Heights for their resources.
They occupy Palestine.
They violate Lebanese airspace and Syrian sovereignty every fucking day, all the time, because they have billions of money given to us that Ilhan Omar and Jamar Bowman voted for.
They voted for that.
They voted for the genocide of the Palestinian people as far as I'm concerned.
And this is the argument that you can make.
There's a large amount of Jewish people in this country that is against the apartheid state of Israel.
And they will have your back for standing up against the AIPAC lobby.
But they are cowards who don't want to take this fight.
Any person at Fred Hampton left it be more than happy to take this fight, but she won't.
She wouldn't be comfortable.
Well said.
I'll leave it there.
We're doing stand-up comedy in Florida, in West Palm Beach, and Danya.
And then we're going to Buffalo, Baltimore, Tempe, and Portland.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all our tickets.
But we've talked about the mandates, the vaccine mandate, and we're very anti-vaccine mandate, like we are against authoritarianism.
We're for bodily integrity.
And guess who else was for that?
Dr. Fauci was for that just last year.
And do you foresee that the vaccine might be mandated for any populations, perhaps for school-aged children?
No.
I don't think you'll ever see a mandating of vaccine, particularly for the general public.
Sometimes in the health sector, like in my hospital here at NIH, you're not going to be allowed to go on the ward unless you get a flu vaccine.
But you would never mandate, at least I do not think you would.
I'd be pretty surprised if you mandated it for any element of the general public.
Now, as a primary care physician myself, who's had many conversations around vaccine safety with patients, I'm curious, what's our contingency plan for people who might refuse the vaccine?
Well, I mean, they have every right to refuse vaccine.
I don't think you need a contingency plan.
If someone refuses the vaccine in the general public, then there's nothing you can do about that.
You cannot force someone to take a vaccine.
Right.
So that was last year.
Dr. Fauci's saying, you can't, just like it was a joke.
You can't make people take, it's a joke to him.
Of course, you can't do that.
You can't do it.
She asked about kids.
Well, guess what they're doing in California?
California's pushing the first U.S. vaccine mandate for school children.
So I don't know how you can do this when the other countries, by the way, are right now, Moderna in Canada, they're recommending you not give it to males under 24 years old.
They're already recommending that because of the complications.
One in 5,000 people with the Moderna vaccine got the myopericarditis, heart inflammation.
And they recommend you switch to the Pfizer because only one in 28,000.
So that's already happening.
So again, we're not anti-vax vaccine.
I'm vaccinated.
Everybody at this show is vaccinated.
But we're anti-mandate.
And all the data is not in.
There's Fauci himself saying you can't do this.
You can't mandate people to get a vaccine.
And what are you going to do if they can't?
Well, guess what?
They're doing.
They've now created a two-tier system of medical care.
Even, so this woman has it.
This is, she wants to donate her kidney to her friend.
They won't allow it to happen because she's not vaccinated, but she had coronavirus already.
This woman already had.
Well, here we go.
Here's the story.
Yes, Jim.
And UC Health says in almost all situations, both parties of an organ transplant must be vaccinated.
The woman I spoke with today says she was on track to get her kidney by the end of the year.
Then this policy took place.
My kidneys took a dive and I end up in stage five.
The average weight for a kidney is time Leilani Lutali doesn't have.
A friend she met just 10 months ago is willing to save her life.
She's essentially packed her suitcase with my kidney and showing up at the hospital.
Jamie Fogner didn't get the vaccine for religious reasons.
Leilani hasn't either because she's already had the virus and isn't sure how the shot would affect her health.
But neither woman thought they needed it.
At the end of August, basically, they confirmed that there was nothing in place.
There was no COVID shot that was needed at that time.
They were shocked to receive this letter from UC Health saying they are non-compliant by not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Now it's get the vaccine or don't get the transplant.
Her life has now been held hostage because of this mandate.
UC Health recently made the policy for enhanced safety.
The COVID mortality rate in transplant patients ranges from 20% to more than 30%.
Then I said, well, I'll sign a medical waiver.
I have to sign a medical waiver anyways over the whole transplant itself.
Now they're looking at other hospitals.
UC Health won't budge.
Can I sit here and allow them to murder my friend when I've got a perfectly good kidney and can save her life?
The women tell me they have not been able to find a hospital in Colorado that will perform the transplant while they're unvaccinated.
Now they're looking into other states.
We're live in Aurora.
So I don't know about the Hippocratic Oath, but I thought it's supposed to say first, do no harm.
And isn't that what they're doing?
And by the way, here's Dr. Fauci speaking on pretty much the same topic.
How are you supposed to treat people?
This is around now.
He's speaking about the HIV crisis here.
Do is you can educate and you can try to modify behavior.
Our experience tells us very clearly that the only way that you can do that effectively is to create an environment in which you don't force people who are the subjects or the targets of your education and behavioral modification if you force them underground.
If you make your education in an environment of oppressiveness, you're not going to get to the people that you need to get to.
Everything has changed.
Everything, everything has been turned on its head.
Black is white, up is down, in and out.
And I can show you video after video after video of powerful people like Nancy Pelosi, the president of the United States, the vice president of the United States, saying that you can't mandate people to get a vaccine.
I can show you this clown saying the exact opposite shit that he's now saying, which is I can do that for fucking 24 hours.
Show you videos of this guy contradicting himself.
And this is the guy we're supposed to trust.
And now that woman's being denied a kidney transplant for what reason?
How does that help her?
You're going to condemn her to death because she won't get a vaccine from something she probably won't die from.
What are you, what?
She has to sign a medical waiver.
And why is it up to her to choose what to do?
I'm going to bring in Nick.
We talked about this.
Yeah, that's a shocking, that's a shocking clip.
And I see a lot of leftists that are like, support this stuff, right?
Yes.
And I thought we support Medicare for all.
Right?
If you're cheering this on, denying people care because they don't have a vaccine, that is, you cannot call yourself a leftist, period.
You can't even call yourself a decent human being.
That's a shocking, shocking clip.
And when it comes to Fauci, I always laugh every time you show me like Fauci clips.
And I tell people all the time, we live in the most propagandized country in the world, period.
Because look how they treat Fauci, who is a proven liar, who was complicit with making the age crisis worse in the 80s because his lies and his nonsense.
They got a documentary coming out for him on Disney.
I don't know if you saw that, but they're going to come out with probably a documentary about Fauci and it's like glowing trying to paint him as like this great American hero.
And if you know the reality of what Fauci is, if you watch Foreign Head of Leftist, you watch Jimmy Doran's show, you will see how preposterous that is.
And they are lying on behalf of the ruling class and Democrat Party and the establishment.
And the last thing I'll say here, I'll pass right back to you, Jimmy.
Do you guys know that there's more COVID deaths this year under Joe Biden than it was in 2020?
So you're telling me there's more COVID deaths.
And everybody was saying that Donald Trump was the one not taking anything seriously, even though he developed the vaccines under Project Warp Speed.
And it was Fauci telling us not to wear masks.
And it was Fauci telling us that we can't do vaccine mandates.
And by the way, it turned out that 600,000 people who have died from COVID, 200,000 of them would still be alive if we had Medicare for all.
So this idea that they're doing this for your health, if they wanted to help you and give you health, they would give you health care.
That's what they would do.
But they're not.
They're mandating you get a vaccine.
That's not health care.
Medicare for all is healthcare.
So if you really cared about our health, you'd give us health care.
We all know the solution to our health care problems and nightmare.
We all know that there's people in the streets right now homeless because they couldn't pay their medical bills.
We all know that people go bankrupt every year.
Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people go bankrupt every year in the United States because they can't pay their medical bills.
People with health insurance and jobs.
So this mandating, if that doesn't shock your conscience, that they're going to deny a woman who has a donor a kidney transplant because she's not going to take part in a mandated vaccine.
Even after I just showed you, Dr. Fauci saying you can't do that.
You can't make people take it.
In fact, it's their right to turn it down.
What has changed?
Well, I know that Dr. Fauci is a confirmed pathological liar.
And I know that he's in the pocket of big pharma, just like the FDA is.
That's what the governor of New York said last year, who got an Emmy for his handling of COVID.
He said he didn't trust the FDA and that they were being influenced by the president.
Well, at that time, the president was Donald Trump.
This time, the president is Joe Biden and the person in charge of vaccines at the FDA resigned over the Biden administration pushing boaster against the science.
Resigned.
So that's not being talked about, except at places like this.
So isn't it amazing?
Black is white, up is down.
Just like with Russia Gate, a complete hoax.
You have to come to places like this to debunk it.
Because if you turn on HBO, they're still pushing that garbage.
And they'll never bring out someone who can actually fight back.
They'll never bring on Glenn Greenwald on MSNBC or Bill Maher to talk about it.
They bring on mild-mannered people who don't push back.
So I don't want to get off track, but the whole point of this is Nick is correct 100% that you are the most propagandized country in the world, the United States.
They got a lot of people that think that one of the most successful human medicines in history that won the Nobel Prize for Human Medicine just five years ago is somehow some kind of crazy kooky animal medicine, which one it was invented for human beings.
They can make you think that.
They can make you think anything.
They can make you think that our government is being controlled by Russia, a country with a smaller GDP than California.
And how did they do it?
They spent $50,000 on Facebook.
So they're making you believe anything, and they're making you believe that mandates aren't messed up to the point where people on the left are pro-mandates.
People on the right were against them.
I mean, people like Fauci, people like Joe Biden.
I consider Joe Biden a right-winger.
I also consider Nancy Pelosi a right-winger because they're right-wingers.
And they were 100% against this last year.
And this year, they're all for it.
So, Nick, anything else you'd like to say?
This is how we've talked about them creating a, you're now going to deny that woman a life-saving medical procedure.
And what is the basis for doing that?
Can you tell me what?
There's no basis for that.
Go ahead.
Yeah, you asked.
I think you asked why they are doing this.
And I explained for head to left, and I was playing on the show before.
They need a scapegoat.
Because I explained earlier about how Biden is failing in this pandemic.
He promised that he was going to get this pandemic under control, and he has not.
Period.
Doesn't matter what your excuses are.
So do you remember under Donald Trump when he was president, they always showed body count, and they're like, oh, Trump is failing the country because he can't get a pandemic under control.
Right.
Joe Biden has the fucking vaccine.
And he's doing worse.
And he's doing worse.
So they got to make a scapegoat.
Oh, look at that vaccine.
This is the pandemic of the unvaccinated, aka black people and world-class people, right?
I thought they meant Trumpers.
Go ahead, Jimmy.
So when they say that, Nick, they mean Trumpers, but you're making the case that it's a lot of people of color.
Absolutely.
And I show the numbers, but whenever you see them talk about it, they never bring that number.
They always say, oh, it's Trump mad people.
That's not true.
I'm on the ground.
I know it.
I see it.
And that shows in the number as well that they don't even cover.
And that's why they want a scapegoat.
And people who have so much Trump derangement syndrome, it's easy to scapegoat Trump supporters and get people to approve of unchecked authoritarianism, unchecked fascism, just to get back at their enemy.
That's the same thing that I used to mock conservatives for doing.
Remember, we mocked them like, oh, your entire politics is owning the libs.
Now their entire politics is owning the Trumpers.
That's right.
Deeply unserious people.
These are deeply unserious people.
They're creating a two-tiered society like we all talked about.
Like we all fear.
It's just like I said at the Young Turks with Russia Gate.
I'm going to make the correlation again.
If you guys keep pushing this, it's eventually going to come back to bite you on the ass.
If you're actual lefties, if you're actual lefties, they will use this against you.
And they used it against Bernie Sanders.
Of course they did.
And they got Bernie Sanders to push it.
So I tried to tell, you don't know the consequence.
Well, we know the consequences of this stuff.
Authoritarianism, less civil rights.
Our country being run for the profits of big pharma.
We've always known this stuff.
By the way, that's not new.
It's not radical for me to say that big pharma has a stranglehold on our government on every lever of government.
That's not crazy.
And our media, it funds our media.
It's not, again, these aren't crazy.
Just like force a vote on Medicare for all on the House floor, that those aren't radical.
These are things we all agree on.
But now we're not anymore.
Isn't that amazing?
What has changed?
What has changed is Joe Biden and the Democrats are in control.
And we're seeing that they're a right-wing, authoritarian party, pro-corporate, pro-war, anti-civil rights, anti-worker.
That's what we're seeing.
We're being governed by a right-wing party once again.
There's no getting out of this.
Guess what?
There is a whistleblower at the Facebook.
Isn't that weird?
There's a whistle.
Ex-Facebook manager criticizes the company, urges more oversight.
So as soon as I heard about that, I was like, oh, this is not a whistleblower.
This is someone who's going to go.
Well, we're going to find out.
I'm going to show you right here.
Let me get my Facebook thing.
So her name is Frances Hagen or Hoogan or Hagen.
She's testified to the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Consumer Protection.
She presented a wide-ranging condemnation of Facebook.
She accused the company of failing to make changes to Instagram after internal research showed apparent harm to teens and the company being dishonest in its public fight against hate and misinformation.
It's all about the kids.
Hagen says she joined the company in 2019 because Facebook has the potential to bring out the best in all of us.
Oh boy.
Yes, we all know the best in people is brought out behind a keyboard.
Just look at any comments section in history ever.
Jesus, yes.
Social media brings out the best in us.
We crush it when we're isolated, don't we?
And by the way, she's pointing out problems with Facebook, and then she's not for being for breaking them up.
She doesn't want to break up Facebook.
That's like wanting to fight climate change, but not banning fracking.
I mean, who would do that?
Oh, that's right.
So she wants to help the company.
That's why she's doing this.
She's a whistleblower, but she's still looking out for the company.
She's a data expert, and she could tell you that we need better data privacy laws.
She could tell you that, but that would cost Mark Zuckerberg more money.
So she doesn't tell you that.
Okay.
She's a 37-year-old data Expert from Iowa with a master's degree in business from Harvard.
Prior to being recruited by Facebook, she worked for 15 years at a tech company, including Google, Pinterest, and Yelp.
She said she didn't leak internal documents in order to destroy the company or call for its breakup, as many consumer advocates and lawmakers of both parties have called for.
That's right.
She wants to strengthen the company.
She loves Facebook.
She thinks it should be bigger.
Facebook's hogging, she says she actually against the breaking up of Facebook.
That's right.
So she'd like to let the company remain a trillion-dollar monopoly, but also create a federal agency to regulate it, which she says should employ former Facebook employees.
One leaked internal study cited, so an internal study, I guess, at Facebook, cited 13.5% of teen girls saying Instagram makes thoughts of suicide worse, and 17% of teen girls saying it makes eating disorders worse.
Well, so does television.
So does every ad I ever saw, every billboard.
What are we going to do?
Start banning everything?
So we should start banning because that makes everybody feel bad.
What are you talking about?
That's called capitalism does this to people.
The Rolling Stones are writing songs about it in the 60s.
Being jealous of the man because his shirts aren't as white.
All that stuff.
I can't get no anyway.
So here she is.
Here she is.
But I'm here today because I believe Facebook's products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy.
The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer, but won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people.
Congressional action is needed.
They won't solve this crisis without your help.
The government has to censor.
The government has to make the world safe for 13-year-old girls' feelings.
Well, if you're going to do that to Facebook, you better start doing it to ABC, CNN, because every one of those diet pill commercials, every one of those bikini, every one of those workups, every one of the things makes everyone feel horrible about themselves.
Well, here's what Glenn Greenwald says: Facebook whistleblower Frances Hagen is a vital media and political asset because she advances their quest for greater control over online political discourse.
That's all this is.
This is not real.
This is bullshit.
And that's, she's not a real whistleblower at all.
This is just a big, another CIA opt from the establishment for more control over media.
Their aim is not to erode Facebook and Google's vast power, but to transfer it to themselves for their own use.
So she's saying Congress better start regulating and running Facebook, not breaking it up.
There is no doubt, at least to me, that Facebook and Google are grave menaces.
Along with Apple and Amazon, they have become classic monopolies.
But none of the anger or activism in Washington and among liberal outlets is about solving that.
They want to be the overseers of it.
The whistleblower is telling Dems and corporate media everything they want to hear, namely transferring control of social media to the government for regulation and censorship is the only way to solve this problem.
Facebook sees the benefit in this too.
Hagen herself, guided by long-term Obama operative Bill Burton, has made explicitly clear that her grievance with her former employer is its refusal to censor more.
Neither party's ruling wing really has any objection to this monopolistic power as long as it is exercised to advance their own interests.
And that is Facebook's only real problem.
Not that they are too powerful, but they are not using that power to censor enough content from the internet that offends the sensibilities and beliefs of Democratic Party leaders and their liberal followers, who now control the White House, the entire executive branch, and both houses of Congress.
This is from Glenn Greenwald.
He's saying this.
And here's from the Pew Research.
It shows that Democrats, the U.S. government, should take steps to restrict fake, false, and online info, even if it limits freedom.
65% of Democrats say do it.
28% no.
Should tech companies take steps to restrict false info online, even if it limits freedom?
76% of Democrats say yes.
37% of Republicans say no.
So again, this is censorship and authoritarianism coming from the left because they think they want to get rid of those bad Trumper ideas.
But as we've always pointed out, the first people they go after are the people on the left who are anti-imperialists.
I had a guy on this show advocating, a guy from the world's socialist website on my show advocating and cheering on censorship.
The next day, they censored that guy's fucking Facebook page and everybody associated with him from the world socialist website, the WSWS.
They're advocating, cheering it on.
This is coming from the left.
Cheering on censorship.
Can you show me one problem that was ever solved by censorship or made worse?
Roughly three quarters of Democrats now say tech companies should take steps to restrict.
We just show you that.
This craving for censorship has been elevated into an even more urgent priority for their corporate media allies.
Due to the same belief that Facebook helped elect Trump, but also because free speech on social media prevents them from maintaining a stranglehold on the flow of information by allowing ordinary uncredentialed serfs to challenge, question, and dispute their decrees or build a large audience that they cannot control.
So what he's saying is that places like this are a threat to the mainstream news media.
And of course, they're going to be cheering it on because we can now question their bullshit.
When they say there's WMDs, we can say, no, there isn't.
And they don't want that happening.
And we can actually become more popular than them.
This show gets more views than those pieces of shit on CNN going against us.
I'll guarantee T you that destroying alternatives to their falling.
But I'm sure Google, by the way, and of course YouTube and Google suppresses our numbers, just like they suppress our subscribers.
And they suppress our distribution.
But YouTube is such a kick-ass platform for distribution, even with them suppressing us as hard as they can.
We're still breaking through.
Destroying alternatives to their failing platforms is thus a means of self-preservation for the establishment media.
Realizing they cannot convince audience to trust their work or pay attention To it.
They seek instead to create captive audiences by destroying or at least controlling any competitors to their pieties.
That's exactly what this is.
This and this alone is the sole reason why there is so much adoration being constructed around the cult of this new disgruntled Facebook employee.
What she provides above all else is a telegenic and seemingly informed insider face to tell Americans that Facebook is destroying their country and their world by allowing too much content to go uncensored by permitting too many conversations among ordinary people that are, in the immortal words of the New York Times tech reporter Taylor Lorenz, unfettered.
We can't have people just talking to each other without being censored, unfettered.
Real whistleblowers end up prosecuted, imprisoned, sued, ruined, and vilified by elite DC sectors and their corporate media outlets.
They don't have the red carpet rolled out for them with the Netflix-ready film script crafted by a top Obama operative, complete with TV star turns.
This is an inside operation, ladies and gentlemen.
She is not a whistleblower.
Let me bring in Nick Cruz from the Fred Hampton Leftist.
What would you like to say about this Facebook whistleblower and the establishment left and the Democratic voters jizz fest over it?
Yeah, and I'm glad that you cover this.
And we try to raise awareness on this information war that is going on and this new assault of our liberties, right?
And we need to come together to defeat this.
And you see, they use a lot of like excuses in order to gain more power for the government.
And I explained this on Friday and the leftists.
They always say, oh, we got to give the government more power so we can fight white supremacy.
We need to expand the national security state so we can fight terrorism, fight white supremacy.
We got to go after censorship so we can go after these Trump, these Trump supporters.
But that historically, they always used that as an excuse to expand government power.
Then as you said, they turned that against the workers and the left and disenfranchised communities.
If you guys don't believe me, I'll give you guys an example of this happening.
You guys remember when they used January 6th as an excuse to fund the Capitol Police more?
Now we just had Indigenous People Day, aka the colonizer version that had the Christopher Columbus Day.
Now you had Indigenous people that were protesting outside the Capitol, and then the police was cracking their heads in, and they arrested them with the money that AOC and the squad gave them more of.
Yes.
Yes.
And now notice the power and where it went to, right?
They say, oh, we're going to get to fund the police more to fight Trumpism and white supremacy.
But the first thing they did, they go after indigenous people.
The first thing they did is go after homeless people when they forcibly evict homeless people at gunpoint.
There was just a story where they were bulldozing people and some dude got injured, right?
This is the class war.
So everyone got to refocus and redirect what the real issue at hand.
That's why there's so many people on the left that push for censorship and push for this expansion of government power and this collusion between corporation and the state.
And that will only harm our community because that's what this is.
This is the communication between corporation and the state and the merging of that, which is one of the tenants of fascism.
The merging of corporation and state.
That's exactly what we have right now.
Now, there's nobody that is the biggest purveyor of misinformation than our government.
That's right.
And they use misinformation as a reason to expand their power and to censor people.
Do you remember WNBD's weapons of mass destruction?
The same government that said marijuana is bad for you.
Oh, we can't have people talk on Facebook.
This is the establishment push to control information.
This is why we need strong, independent media voices to fight back, not repeat the pro-censorship bullshit.
And the people that do that.
And that's what we got to do, push back on that because we need a counter to this new information war.
I told you before, there are people that stuck in 2016 because they don't want to talk about this.
It's not even a big deal to them.
Yeah, there's a lot of people who think shows like mine should present the establishment point of view also.
That's not what the point of this show is.
And if you think that's the point of the show, you're an idiot.
How about that?
The point of this show is to debunk the establishment, not to repeat it.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hi, everybody.
