Time Text
Hey, come see one of our live stand-up shows, December 10th or 17th, or New Year's Eve at the Two Roads Theater in Studio City, California.
See you there.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all tickets.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, this is Andrew Cuomo.
Oh, Mr. Cuomo, how are you?
Jimmy, I am furious.
Beyond furious.
I'm about to blow like Mount Aetna over here.
When they come for me, that's one thing.
I can handle that.
Like I told you, I'm a bull.
But when you go after my family, that's when the story changes, my friends.
Well, I suppose you're referring to CNN's recent firing of your brother, Chris Cuomo.
You bet your Italian wedding soup, that's what I'm talking about.
They sacrificed their number one-rated anchor in that time slot on cable news on Tuesdays, sometimes, to get at me.
And they will pay.
CNN will pay.
Jimmy, Jesus of Nazareth said, turn the other cheek.
But Nazareth said, now you're messing with the son of a bitch.
And I can't believe I'm saying this, but in this case, I'm going to go with the Scottish heavy metal band over the Holy Redeemer.
Go after them, how they were right.
They were right to fire your brother.
Why?
Because he tried to help and counsel his brother in a time of crisis?
What else the brothers for?
Well, he gave aid in an official capacity, though.
That's a no-no.
He was on a legal conference call.
He was helping not just as a brother, but as a lawyer and was using his press connections to try and gather information about the case.
It's laughably unethical.
We can all do a dance.
Sure.
I can do a little dance.
I'm doing right now.
None of that.
Look at what they've done to my beautiful boy.
I withhold affection and respect from this man since childhood, turning him into a lap dog so desperate to win my approval that he would risk his entire career to help me by making stunningly idiotic decisions.
And this is how CNN repays him for that loyalty?
How dare they?
I think a licensed therapist should look at a transcript of the sentence you just said.
Oh, yeah, maybe they should.
My professional opinion, he's a fucking bull.
So what is your strategy here?
Well, a legal case is being constructed as we speak, but naturally that will take a while.
In the meantime, we have to curry public favor for the Cuomo brothers.
How are you going to do that?
Well, for example, just the other day, Alan Dershowitz went on news packs and took Chris Cuomo's side against CNN.
That's pretty good.
Not bad.
Yeah, okay, sure.
But first, we frame Chris's situation as an operatic tragedy.
An epic figure who flew too close to the sun, not because of vice, but virtue, love of family, and then was brought down by subhuman forces, not worthy to lick the little slippers that I make my dog wear that she hates.
I don't think people are going to buy that.
Oh, no?
Well, believe me, he is distraught.
My brother is broken.
What they have done to this beautiful man, my brother.
My brother.
You should see him.
He's here in my guest room.
He hasn't left in two days.
He won't eat.
Brad.
Brad.
Oh, come on.
Here, I'm walking into his room right now.
You don't have to do this.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Chrissy.
Chrissy, turn this down.
It's too loud.
The neighbors are complaining.
You have to eat something.
Here, I brought you a cannoli, the kind you like.
All right, come on, snap out of it.
Be a fucking man here.
You want my respect and quit bawling and moping and come downstairs and watch Sports Center with me, you finook.
Jesus.
Okay, well, that went well.
That's what we call tough love in the Cuomo family.
As you can see, I cannot stand seeing what they have done to my brother.
I cannot stand seeing what they have done to my brother.
You both seem very distraught.
Jimmy, we are Italian.
We are a passionate people.
There is a time for sorrow, which we do not shy away from.
But then there is a time for vendetta, reprisal, and that is what's coming.
I see.
Now, Jimmy, I am not a vengeful man.
My Catholic faith prevents it.
But mark my words.
The people who tried to bring us down will know the meaning of pain.
They will know suffering that will exceed that of the Cuomos tenfold.
Hochel, Jeff Sucker, Brian Stelter, and all the rest.
I am personally going to bring back to life Dante Alighieri from the dead to devise a new circle of hell in which to roast these motherfuckers.
After which my little brother, Chris, and I will gorge ourselves on their flesh and gnaw upon their bones until our chins drip with their marrow.
But now is a time for healing.
For family, for homemade food, familia.
Well, I'm glad to hear you're in a good place.
I am.
We are.
A day of reckoning is coming, and we look forward to it.
And how are you, Jimmy?
Are you still being a bull?
Okay, we're not doing this again.
Okay.
Here's Paolo.
Doesn't mente.
Okay, okay, bye.
Stoogats!
Ha ha ha ha!
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Watch and see as a jet dog comedian who speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.
It's the chimator show.
We have a special guest with us right now.
We're going to cover the Omicron, or do you say the Omnicron?
We should just call it Omnicron.
Today's guest is the editor of the investigative journalism website, The Gray Zone, ladies and gentlemen.
He is the author of such books as Goliath, The 51 Day war, and the management of savagery.
He co-hosts the Moderate Rebels podcast alongside Ben Norton.
Please welcome Max Blumenthal, ladies and gentlemen.
Hi, Max.
How are you?
Pretty well.
How are you doing?
Good.
Well, I got to tell you, your article stirred up a lot of controversy.
The Gray Zone did an article about the dangers of lockdowns and how they are oppressive to the poor and the working class, I just think in general.
And they make everybody a little less mentally stable.
Some people, so much so they commit suicide.
So there's a lot of deleterious effects, unintended consequences from lockdowns.
And now there's the Omicron variant, which is scaring some people because we showed you this, right?
Someone tweeted out another Omicron case is detected in the U.S., this time in Minnesota.
Wow.
So that's, oh my God, another.
And then someone says, oh, and that's that.
We need the lockdown now.
Now, of course, we've made five.
Of course, that's hysterical.
It's a hysterical reaction.
It's laughable.
Because this is, by the way, this is from December 3rd.
This is what the Reuters was saying on December 3rd.
Could Omicron variant bring milder illness?
And here's what they were saying on December 3rd: that among 70 cases reported in Europe that included information on disease severity, half of the patients had no symptoms.
And the other half had mild symptoms, according to the report on Thursday by the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
This is from a report on the 3rd of December.
Today's the 8th.
There were no cases of severe disease hospitalization or death.
However, the European AC said it would require data on hundreds of cases to accurately assess disease complications, estimating that could take several weeks.
In addition, most cases detected in Europe so far have been in younger people who were fully vaccinated, making them less likely to suffer severe illness.
Now, here's what they're saying now.
This is from today.
This is from December 8th.
Cite a sigh of relief in South Africa as Omicron variant appears to be super mild mutation with COVID death rate not jumping.
The WHO and coronavirus experts are increasingly convinced the new Omicron variant is super mild and has so far not led to a jump in COVID death rates anywhere in South Africa.
The WHO is calling this morning for the countries to drop travel restrictions and end the mass hysteria and instead be cautiously optimistic as more and more reports out of South Africa suggest the new Omicron variant is not more lethal than the previous Delta variant.
In fact, there have been no reports of hospitalizations or deaths as a result of anyone being diagnosed with Omicron.
Well, Max, that seems to vindicate your call for people to stop overreacting and employing lockdowns at the drop of a hat, does it not?
I don't need the Omicron variant to vindicate the lockdown piece that we published at the Gray Zone because we clearly demonstrated what so many millions around the world have experienced, which is that the cost of lockdowns has been worse than the cost of COVID itself.
That the cure, the supposed cure, the prescribed cure that flowed out of these from these institutions, these bullshit factories like the Imperial College in London and were handed down to mindless hacks like Boris Johnson and Bill de Blasio and Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
They cost they caused so much more livelihood destruction than the virus itself.
So that's separate from the Omicron variant.
The Omicron variant is apparently the worst fear of many of the people behind the new normal.
But it's a relief to the general public.
And just having spoken to people of all different political persuasions and walks of life about this in the past few days, there is just a consensus that there is a relief that this is a based on the reporting and based on the comments of St. Anthony Fauci, that this is more mild than the other variants.
It's more mild than Delta.
What we see out of South Africa, hospital data showing no deaths, less medical intervention necessary in ICUs for Omicron cases, that almost all of them are mild.
Fauci himself has said it appears to be more mild.
But yet we see the Pfizer CEO, Albert Borla, complaining in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that the mildness, the reported mildness of this variant is not good news.
It's rapidly transmissible, which seems frightening, but it is mild.
Now, why would that frighten or upset Albert Borla?
Obviously, it threatens to make his call for a fourth vaccine, a fourth booster, less appealing.
The fear factor goes down.
Therefore, the profit margins go down.
These big pharma CEOs have made something like $10 billion since the announcement of Omicron.
So this is the most cynical statement he could make.
And actually, the transmissibility combined with the mildness is terrible news for him because as Vladimir Putin, the Russian president said yesterday, this could amount to what specialists tell him is a live vaccine, where essentially people who get infected with the Omicron variant receive what they would otherwise get from a vaccine, but with more immunizing effectiveness because we know natural immunity is more effective.
Listen, the vaccine is supposed to make the effect, the virulence of the virus more mild, right?
And it doesn't prevent transmission necessarily.
It is a non-sterilizing vaccine.
So here you have a variant or a mutation spreading rapidly in the population, infecting masses of people, but not causing masses of deaths, theoretically speaking.
That would terrify me if I were the Pfizer CEO who is seeking to ride this out indefinitely and keep the fear factor cranked up forever.
It might also frighten me if I were Anthony Fauci, who has become a celebrity and a hero to so many who have been seduced and hypnotized by the new normal ideology.
So in many ways, the fear here among these figures is less death, less hospitalizations, and it reveals them to be the cynical characters we always knew they were.
And again, we don't know what Omicron will necessarily do, but all indications are that it is mild.
I should mention that there is a study out of South Africa where the variant was first detected by Angelique.
The study is not by Angelique Koetze, but that's the doctor who discovered it.
She said that it appears to be mild and Western governments are blowing it out of proportion.
And now there's been a study of the blood samples of 12 vaccinated.
Well, scientists from South Africa grew live samples of this variant and performed experiments to see how it affected antibodies and blood samples from 12 people who had been vaccinated.
Six of these people in this experiment previously had COVID.
And what they found was that Omicron was able to escape the vaccine's protection at a much higher rate than the other variants.
However, those who had been naturally infected previously by COVID had much greater protection.
So, again, alarm bells are ringing at Pfizer headquarters here, and this appears to be mild according to this study as well.
And even Anthony Fauci, by the way, we have to say that the vaccines do reduce transmission.
Oh, they don't stop it.
They do reduce you contracting it, and they don't stop.
Okay.
So here's Anthony Fauci.
And he even is, even he is agreeing that the Omicron, here's how he says it.
Thus far, it does not look like this.
Let me turn it up look.
Thus far, it does not look like there's a great degree of severity to it.
So that's the way he talks.
It does not look like there's a great degree of severity to it.
He still tries to speak an alarmist language, even though he's telling you something's not bad.
It's funny.
But here, I want to show you, there's an article from, now, this is again from today.
This is again from December 8th.
This is from RT, and it says, could Omicron save us from COVID?
What do you mean?
Well, let's get into it.
While Fauci also says the new variant's mutations appear to have made it more capable of infecting people, that may not be a bad thing if it shows itself to be much less destructive, as Max was saying.
In fact, some studies and observations show it could prove to be what some would call a godsend.
That's it.
That's it.
Lock it down.
That's it.
Lock it down.
Call my parents in the Hamptons.
Lock it down.
That is because those who get the new strain could gain natural enhanced, naturally enhanced immunity to all the strains.
That's what Max was just talking about.
So if you get this variant, you get the Omicron, it will give you an enhanced natural immunity to all the strains.
That's what they're saying will happen.
While the mRNA vaccines only build immunological recognition of the spike protein that has become significantly mutated in Omicron, potentially rendering the vaccine less effective, potentially.
Contracting the Omicron variant may result in immunity that broadly recognizes many other aspects of the COVID virus, SARS-CoV-2, for which the mRNA vaccines do not program the body to be on alert because the mRNAs are programming you to be on alert for the spike proteins.
Dr. Angela Koetzi, chairwoman of the South African Medical Association, criticized the West's extreme response to her announcement of the new variants emergence in South Africa.
I have seen a lot over my medical career, but nothing has prepared me for the extraordinary global reaction that met my announcement.
This version of the virus has been circulating in southern Africa for some time.
Let me be clear, nothing I have seen about this new variant warrants the extreme action the UK government has taken in response to it.
No one here in South Africa is known to have been hospitalized with the Omicron variant, nor is anyone here believed to have fallen seriously ill with it.
If, as some evidence suggests, Omicron turns out to be a fast-spreading virus with mostly mild symptoms for the majority of the people who catch it, that would be a useful step on the road to herd immunity, said the doctor who discovered this.
Dr. Haumin Hamedi, a PhD research scientist, has even gone as far as to say that Omicron could actually bring on the end of the pandemic.
So instead of this being a thing that's supposed to make us shit our pants, like our friend Walker was doing, shut it down now, it's actually the best news we've ever gotten.
Hypothetically, if this doesn't cause significant disease or any real major disease whatsoever and happens on the flip side to be highly infectious, such that everybody gets it, all of a sudden you can have a scenario where you have a large subset of the population,
if not the entire population, who has gotten a mild version or even no version of the disease, but has developed antibodies and has resistance such that is there that ever later on come a more deadly variant, they're going to be protected from it.
The professor did note there's one big caveat, which was that it remains to be seen what happens when Omicron infects the elderly, because right now we're just seeing it infect young people.
Some studies have actually shown immunity acquired by COVID to be more protective and longer lasting than vaccinated immunity.
A study in Israel, one of the most vaccinated nations on earth, examined medical records of tens of thousands of Israelis and revealed that those who had experienced a COVID infection showed stronger protection against the Delta variant than those who had been fully vaccinated.
The study's author specifically recommended you do not try to get infected just because their study shows naturally enhanced immunity demonstrates no detectable shortcomings over vaccinated immunity.
So don't have a party and say, let's all try to get the COVID because we'll have better immunity because someone could die.
That's what they're saying.
In fact, the leaders of the study undoubtedly feel the need to give that warning because the results are seemingly so impressive.
After all, this was the largest real-world observational study so far to compare natural and vaccine-induced immunity to SARS-CoV-2.
Now, Omicron may naturally provide a far less risky path to that quality of immunity.
If so, there is still one big problem.
Few people are in a position to know whether they are exposing themselves to Omicron or to a more deadly strain of COVID.
And now that the new COVID variant has been detected in almost all regions of the world, millions of poor people in Africa and other nations where the West, for all its promises, hasn't helped them very much, may become accidental beneficiaries Of free immunization delivered by Omicron, providing broad immunity to other more damaging forms of COVID.
This could happen.
Okay.
There may even be a chance they could wind up better off than the vaccinated.
There's a chance.
Travel restrictions may play a role in slightly reducing the spread of COVID-19, but place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods.
And of course, here is your article in the gray zone: Flattening the Curve or Flattening the Global Poor, How COVID Lockdowns Obliterate Human Rights and Crush the Most Vulnerable.
So I just want to show this again because this is funny.
And that's that.
We need to lock down now.
That's that.
Let's bring Max back.
Let's bring Max back here.
That was a little bit.
That's that.
And that's that.
I mean, this is a guy trying to hold himself up as some kind of authority.
And you have one Omicron case detected in Michigan, which was either mild or asymptomatic.
And epidemiological premature ejaculator Walter Bragman says, that's that.
Everybody has to be locked down.
That's that.
Send all the kids home from school.
You know, let their reading deteriorate by 30 to 50 percent, especially in underprivileged populations, as we saw across the country.
That's that.
That's that.
Let's have 25% of people 18 to 25 reporting suicidal ideation, as the CDC detected in 2020.
That's that.
Let's have millions of people pushed to the brink of eviction.
Let's have millions of people thrown into the ranks of the homeless.
That's that.
Let's have opioid deaths increase by 50% in West Virginia and 30% nationally because of desperation under lockdown and deprivation.
That's that.
That's that.
That's according to epidemiological premature ejaculator Walter Bragman after one asymptomatic or mild case in Michigan.
I mean, and this is the guy who thinks that he is some kind of expert.
And all he is is a human manifestation of the neurosis of the COVID-19 new normal cult, which has been torturing the entire population and whose main role is to simply push the ruling class to go even further in tormenting people without any public health gain.
And when the public health experts and officials finally decide that the virus is endemic and it needs to be treated, those people will still be howling for more and more livelihood-destroying, soul-crushing restrictions.
That's that.
And we need to say that's that with them, because history is not going to remember these people very well.
Well, just because so they haven't been able to confirm that this is mild.
It's not confirmed yet that Omicron is super mild, even though nobody's gone to the hospital.
But as a precautionary measure, Max, people, I think, should still remain locked in their homes and continue cowering in fear.
What do you think?
Well, what we see are governments around the world that are still addicted to restrictions that have proven pointless, trying to ram through as many as possible while they can before the fear begins to dissipate.
Most of the British public told Yuga of the polling firm that they oppose lockdowns.
They were strongly against lockdowns.
And that was the British government's plan B in order to torture and intimidate the public into supporting vaccine passports, which are also basically medically useless and are a coercive policy designed to coerce people into onto the vaccination booster treadmill.
So if Omicron turns out to be mild, and again, it's a wait-and-see situation, but the data coming in, the real-world data, is encouraging.
And we can say this is endemic and Omicron replaces Delta.
Again, we don't know if it will, then the pandemic is over and COVID-19 becomes like the flu.
And this is something that I said would happen the first time you and I discussed this issue several months ago.
I said ultimately COVID-19 would have to become endemic and it might ultimately become like the flu and then the pandemic would be over.
But by that point, all of these restrictions would be in place and they could stay in place in time for another kind of emergency.
And that's the point of all of this, I think, is to reorient the relationship between citizens and the state.
We've already seen a large swath of the public accept a completely perverse reorientation of the social contract, whereby a completely healthy sector of the population was defined as a public health threat and publicly demonized because they refused to take a new novel product rolled out by big pharma.
And so that shifting of the social contract will remain along with all of these restrictions unless there's resistance to them and a recognition of how this virus will likely evolve.
Now, one problem here is how the public has been conditioned through popular culture to understand viruses and mutations.
And this is where basic virology needs to be consulted.
In the 90s, when the U.S. ran out of enemies, there was no Soviet Union.
There was no war on terror.
So in Hollywood and in popular kind of pulp literature, the enemy took the form either of microbes, scary diseases, or aliens.
And so you had popular books like Michael Crichton's The Andromeda Strain, which are about viruses mutating.
And it was like an extraterrestrial mutates and acquires biological properties to degrade plastic and it escapes all containment.
You had the film Outbreak about this scary Ebola-like virus that keeps mutating into this highly infectious strain of aerosolized transmission.
It's what people were watching at the beginning of the pandemic that helped freak them out.
But the reality about mutations is different.
The Nature Public Health Emergency Collection published a really instructive essay, which is on the NIH's website.
And it's titled, We Shouldn't Worry When a Virus Mutates During Disease Outbreaks.
And let me just read a little passage from that.
While this amazing capacity to mutate fuels the engine of evolutionary change, most mutations adversely impact some aspect of virus function and are removed by natural selection.
Hence, although a mutation that changes how a virus is transmitted or its virulence may readily appear in a virus population, it will not spread to high frequencies unless it is selectively advantageous.
So, in many cases, mutations result in the virus becoming weaker, even as it becomes more transmissible.
And that, you know, to use Fauci's constantly conditional language, which he never gets criticized for, that may mean that this virus, the Omicron variant, it may potentially mean down the road that we could potentially, somehow, at some point, declare an end to the pandemic.
Maybe.
But we should not be afraid of talk of mutations is my only point.
Variants and mutations are not inherently frightening.
No, and we had to explain that when the guy from the NIH went on CNN with his little spike protein thing to scare the shit out of everybody.
And he made all these scary sounding things.
And then he gets me goes, but I don't think it's going to be bad for us.
And it was just like, what are you doing?
Why would you scare us all first?
Apparently in South Africa, that woman who discovered the Omicron variant, she thinks it's mild and she thinks that we're overblowing this.
And I guess it's just because of backward countries like South Africa, medical schools don't train their doctors about the importance of spreading unfounded hysteria.
Well, they care about their population.
She lives among South Africans and they have suffered enormously under the restrictions and the lockdowns, which, as I wrote in my piece with Stavrula Pabst at the gray zone about lockdowns, caused something like over 40% of South Africa's population in April 2020 to report that they were without food.
But now you have Joe Biden declaring reflexively in another act of premature political political premature ejaculation, declaring a travel ban on all of Southern Africa, including countries like Madagascar, where no Omicron cases had been yet detected.
And what does that do to their economies?
It hammers their economies.
Their economies depend on tourism, especially in the winter season.
Europeans often come down there.
Their business people are unable to travel.
It was a gut punch to an already suffering geographical region, which was trying to pull itself out from the pain of pandemic restrictions.
It was sort of like, I don't know how I could understand people, especially people in Southern Africa, reading this is racist, that they were being collectively banned for a variant that emanated from Europe, apparently.
I mean, one of the super spreader events was a South African corporation in Norway, I think, had a Christmas party in Norway, and everybody who went into the party was vaccinated.
And they came back with the Omicron variant.
Yep.
And I think they all tested negative for COVID before they went into that meeting.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's right.
So here we are again, just like it was predicted on this show by Dr. Robert Malone, and then we've been attacked as anti-vaxxers ever since.
He said that the virus is going to mutate and usually it mutates into becoming more infectious and less deadly.
And that's what's supposed to happen.
And okay, so he said a lot of other things.
Go watch that video with Dr. Robert.
It's very hard to find.
You have to go to our page.
You have to go to our page and you have to go down our page.
Because if you Google Dr. Robert Malone, Jimmy Door show, it does not come up.
If you put it in YouTube, it doesn't come up.
They have suppressed that video and it still has over 700,000 views.
I think you have to go through a second certification page where you have to click a button where you confirm that you are a dangerous anti-vaxxer far-right deplorable conspiracy theorist before being able to access that.

Nancy Pelosi was talking about the National Defense Authorization Act, which is how they fund the military.
And it just keeps going up by hundreds of billions all the time.
It's up to anyway.
But here, the reason why I'm playing this is to show you that these people need to step down.
We're being led by an is she an octogenarian yet?
How old is Nancy?
Hey, Suri, how old is Nancy Pelosi?
Nancy Pelosi is 81 years old.
She's an octogenarian.
She's 81.
Our president is Joe Biden.
I think he's 79.
He should be 99.
That's the way he acts.
Because that guy's demented already because he's already had two brain surgeries.
So he's not doing well.
He's our president, can't form a sentence.
Now I'm going to show you, here's our speaker of the house, who is 81.
Let's watch it.
It's the McGovern bill.
It's a stronger bill than the, it is, it's a bill that we could have freestanding or a bill that is in the Eagle Act that is part of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Kendrick Meeks.
No.
Gregory Meek, Bill, Kendrick, we're all very sad about losing Carrie Meek this week.
So I referenced her son.
But Chairman Meeks bill in the House.
So we will have that.
But see, in a defense bill, whether it's in the we whatever that thing's called that they have in the Senate.
The Senate does not have the right to have a revenue or an appropriations matter.
Whatever that thing is that they have, that's what I would say.
That's not what the Speaker of the House who's been in Congress since 92 supposed to say.
That's what I would say as a comedian who's high.
That's not what she's supposed to say.
I'm supposed to go, what's that thing they call it in the Senate?
That's what I say.
Should we play that again, Curry?
Let's play it.
It's the McGovern bill.
It's a stronger bill.
So what's that?
Will you move your mouse, can you?
Oh.
Oh, look at this.
Yeah.
It stays on screen.
Tech wants you to move.
Oh, I could do it like this.
Watch this.
There's a lot of different ways that could be.
That was good, though.
I like the way you did that.
I could do it.
It's kind of smooth.
One time I was doing a video at Largo like this, and I couldn't figure out how to do it, and it ruined my joke, and everybody got awkward.
Largo?
We're awkward as welcome.
yeah, you would think.
All right, here we go.
It is a bill that we could have freestanding or a bill that is in the Eagle Act that is part of the.
So she's not talking about the NDA.
I think she's talking about funding the government.
And I think that's what she's talking about.
Mr. Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Kendrick Meeks.
No.
It sounds like she said the Fond Affairs Committee.
Yeah.
I'm very fond of the affairs.
Do we have the Fond Affairs Committee chairman?
I'm very fond of him.
What do you want to say, Kurt?
She sounds kind of like my mom telling me about an article about something Nancy Pelosi said.
She sounds like your mom, or probably how I sound trying to explain a news article.
It's a thing with the, you know, and it could be either high or low.
Here we go.
Gregory Meek, Bill.
Kendrick.
We're all very sad about losing Carrie Meek this week.
So I referenced her son.
But the chairman, Meek's bill and the House.
So we will have that.
But see, in a defense and a bill, whether it's in the week, whatever that thing's called.
I think she is talking about the NDA.
She goes, in a defense thing, whatever.
I don't know what it's called in the Senate, but whatever.
Jesus Christ.
Are you doing this?
Is she doing this press conference from flappers?
You know what else this looks like?
It looks like if you asked me to explain the iTunes agreement that I agreed to.
If you asked me to do that, and I would be like, it's the limited liability of the something for use only.
I don't know.
I sign it.
I just decided.
I just say, okay, I click the box.
Okay.
I got to use it.
What am I going to do?
Read this thing?
I'm not a lawyer.
Here, let's listen to it more.
Have in the Senate or in a DOD bill.
The Senate does not have the right to have a revenue or an appropriations matter.
Okay.
Thank you, Nancy.
Wow.
She's 100 millionaire.
She made all her money while she was in government.
And as Harry Truman said, there's only one kind of person that becomes rich while they're in government, and that's a crook.
So there you go.
She's on the top, right?
I mean, she's really.
She's worth over $100 million.
Yeah, that's pretty impressive.
I mean, that's a lot of money.
What is Oprah worth?
Let's find out.
I don't know, but can Oprah tell the future with stocks like Nancy Pelican?
Oh, that's the beauty, right?
Hey, Suri.
What's Oprah's net worth?com.
Oprah Winfrey's net worth is $2.6 billion.
Oh, she's a little bit more richer.
Wow.
$2.6 billion.
What does she do?
So that's not $100 million, $200.
That's not $500 million.
That's $1,000 million twice.
That's like two Kylie Jenners of money.
I'm with about two Kylies.
Jeez.
And what does Oprah do with all that money?
What do you do with all that money?
I might need it.
You never know.
You never know.
Well, once you have the money, then you start doing like bullshit philanthropy and finding ways to hide it.
But what do you hide it for?
You could never spend that money.
How could you spend a billion dollars?
If you bought a house every day for the rest of your life, you couldn't spend that billion dollars.
Well, what about Oprah's future?
I don't know, dogs?
What are they going to have when she's kids?
I don't know who she's leaving it to.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That's probably what you need for your space shelter for when the Earth melts.
Like, you probably need, you know, that's probably how money's going to have to spend it now on that.
She's got Speaker right in the name.
Did you know that?
That's how Jay Lena would say.
She's got Speaker Right in the Name.
I want to hear her.
This McGovern bill.
It's a stronger bill than the bill that we could have freestanding or a bill that is in the Eagle Act that is part of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Mr. Kendrick Meeks.
No.
Gregory Meek bill.
Kendrick.
We're all very sad about losing Carrie Meek this week.
So I referenced her son.
But the chairman.
So there is a Congresswoman from Florida who died this week, but her son is also in Congress.
And that's what she's doing.
And her name was Meeks.
I think her name was Kendra Meeks.
And I don't know.
Let's check.
Congresswoman Meeks, Florida.
Oh, hey, Suri, Congresswoman Meeks, Florida.
Oh, really?
Well, what good are you?
Anyway, here we go.
Meeks bill in the House.
So we will have that.
But see, in a defense and a bill, whether it's in the week, whatever that thing's called that they have in the Senate or in the DOD bill, the Senate does not have the right to have.
Yeah, whatever that.
So we just have mumble mouths now as the Democratic leaders.
God, you can't wait to hear Chuck Schumer actually speak a whole sentence.
Don't resist the resistance, Jimmy.
Don't resist the resistance.
This is the perfect age, though, if you're a politician, because that's when it's like mean to.
Yeah, you can't be meek because they're too old.
Yeah, so it's the perfect time to like really.
Yeah.
That's why Reagan, the whole second term, was it's perfect.
You don't have to understand, this is really basically just like a world's greatest grandpa contest.
Meeks at this point.
Meeks, right?
Yes, Carrie Meek.
Carrie Meeks.
Her son is Kendrick Meeks.
That's it.
It was Carrie Meek.
She died.
And her son is Kendrick Meek.
So there you go.
So that's why she...
I can't tell...
What are you, Carol Channing?
Okay, that was our girl's best friend.
Okay.
That's what it sounds like.
It is Christmas time.
And we got some sad news.
Whoa.
The Christmas tree outside of Fox News, New York City offices, was set on fire on Tuesday night.
As of Wednesday morning, the NYPD reports one suspect in custody.
No injuries were reported.
And the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Now, some people think that it's an inside job.
And I think I have a picture of the guy they have in custody.
Here it is.
That's what the guy is.
Ah, come on.
So you want, but here, do you want to see the fire?
Here it is.
We got to have a video of the fire.
Wait a minute.
Do you think that Hannity false flagged a war on Christmas?
Yes, I do.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm saying they're doing a false flag to get the war on Christmas kicked off.
That's what I am saying that.
Yeah.
Yes.
You don't agree with you?
You think that's possible, Kurt?
I was going to blame Seth Rogan.
All right, here we go.
See, there's the fire.
There's a cop right there just watching it burn.
There's another cop.
Boy, a Christmas tree on fire.
There's something really racist about it.
I don't know what it is.
There's something like it.
I heard Fox News had also made this tree like red, white, and blue, a red, white, and blue Christmas tree, which sounds a little obnoxious, but that's what I heard they did.
That's what I heard they did.
Hey, Jimmy, what's obnoxious about being a patriot?
Go ahead.
Well, it's Jesus' birthday, and how else would he want to celebrate than a red, white, and blue Christmas tree?
Because Jesus is an American.
We all know that.
I actually, it's so funny.
Like, that level of corniness is almost sentimental now to me of like, someone like, yeah, I have a red, white, and blue Christmas tree.
Where you hold that in your head like that's a.
Well, here's what Brian Kilmead tweeted out in response to that happening.
He said, a homeless whack job burned our Fox Christmas tree to the ground, lawless New York City.
Thanks, NYPD and FDNY for scrambling so rapidly to help.
Well, if it's lawless, how come the cops were there to help so rapidly?
Either pick which one?
Either it's lawless or you guys got to have a great response from the cops.
Which is it?
Oh my God, Jimmy.
By the way, and go ahead.
How much do you want to bet when they show the homeless guy, he's going to look a lot like Santa?
And this is almost like a miracle of Christmas movies.
It's like a Chromeless guy in Santa.
But I just, I mean, I think we all noticed what was out of place in that.
So in the United States, because we live in a capitalistic hellscape, the richest country in the world that renders half of its population poor or low income can't afford a $500 emergency, and 80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck in the richest country the face of the earth has ever made.
And what do you call a system that does that?
You call that a failed system.
That's a fail to 80% of workers aren't lazy.
80% of workers are working.
They just can't.
But they just don't make enough money to do better than living paycheck to paycheck.
And so then we have this huge homeless population, right?
Because we don't have social services.
We don't have health care.
Look at all those people who go 600,000 people go bankrupt every year just because they get sick in America.
Again, the richest country in the world.
Now, that doesn't, Brian Killmead doesn't go, wow.
He doesn't go, wow, that's horrible.
We have a mentally ill person who can't get services, who's now rendered homeless, the most desperate position you can be in in the richest world country in the world.
And son of, no, he's this, he's angry at the homeless guy.
And that reveals a cancer inside of Brian Kilmead's soul.
That's what that tells you.
That he's got a blackened soul.
That's what that tells you.
Now, maybe not all the way, but certainly right there.
If you live in New York for a length of time, I will say it does much like your fingernails will turn black underneath.
New York naturally makes you very numb to homelessness.
Oh, my.
I would say of any city I've ever been in, that's the one where you get like that and glue traps for mice, which are like the cruelest mousetrap.
Yeah.
Like you get, it's like everybody lives on top of each other all the time.
Now, I don't know where he lives or what his like commute is, but it's crazy.
It really is, you know.
I'm sure he lives on the tough part of Fifth Avenue.
I'm just like, how does he know?
But how do you put it?
But let me put it this way, Kurt.
You're a news person and you don't know not to tweet that about the most vulnerable people in our society.
I think Keen thinks I should.
I think he goes, oh, this is an opportunity to tweet that about the most vulnerable people.
Yes.
Well, somebody tweeted out, hey, tell us how you really feel about the homeless.
And someone goes, oh, fuck the poor.
Merry Christmas.
That's how he really feels.
And someone said, there, I fixed it for you.
Homeless, poor individual in need of mental health support lit our Christmas tree up.
That's how he should have said it.
A homeless, poor individual in need of mental health support.
And when is our government going to take care of this homeless problem in this country?
And by the way, Brian Kilmead, you're a millionaire and you're a news person.
You should have greater awareness of that.
Okay.
Go ahead, Kurt.
But are you taking into account that how many of our star-spangled Christmas trees cannot afford a $500 emergency?
That was one of the lucky trees.
You get a chance to demonize homeless.
It's Christmas for you, Brian.
That's right.
How dare he become homeless?
Yeah.
Well, I guess, and then this guy, well, I guess he's not homeless anymore.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Now, I'm laughing that this guy would make that joke about a guy having to go to prison.
Now he's so he's mentally ill, and now he's going to put him in jail.
And that's what that joke is saying.
I guess that's funny because he'll be in jail now because we won't put somebody in a mental hospital because Ronald Reagan closed them all down and created this homeless crisis.
But we will put you in jail where it costs $70,000 a year to put somebody in a jail cell.
We won't give you $70,000 to go get an apartment or give you $70,000 in health care, but we will put you in jail.
Go ahead, Kurt.
I thought, you know how I took that?
I thought he was saying that Brian Kilmead has inadvertently advertised how to get off the street quickly by burning down the Fox Christmas tree.
I thought he was thinking.
I thought he was like.
Oh, so maybe you're, so that guy, that's what that was his plan to get himself some shelter is what you're saying.
It wouldn't occurred to me that's a thing.
Yeah.
Well, Tommy Chong, Tommy Chong did have a good, he had the best tweet about this.
He goes, I'm glad the dude that set fire to the New York City Christmas tree is finally in custody.
So they got him.
They got a Christmas miracle.
It was the Grinch, and he was dressed up as Santa.
He's trying to throw you off.
That's what that is.
Is that what that is, the Grinch?
Well, it looks like the Grinch to me.
It's all green.
Green probably is.
That's pretty funny.
But we all know it's a false flag.
We all know it was done by Sean Hannity.
So anyway, just a tip to the newsmen out there.
When you refer to homeless people, you're referring to people who literally don't have a home, mostly because they're either a drug addict, mentally ill, or maybe they went broke because they got physically ill.
It's crazy that we have 600,000 homeless people in the richest country in the world.
And that should be where your ire goes at the oligarchy that creates this situation and tolerates it.
you know, I have a plan to fix homelessness.
So if they say 600,000 people are homeless in America, now, if you give them a stipend of each of those people, $1,000 a month for housing, a stipend, I'll tell you, it's like $7.2 billion a year.
Let me see.
Hey, Suri, what's $600,000 times $12,000?
$600,000 is an integer of $600,000.
Yeah, I know, but what is it?
It's got to be $7.2 billion.
Hey, Suri, what's $600,000 times 12?
Yeah, $7.2 billion.
Surrey, mother, what?
Hey, Suri.
What is 600,000 times 12?
600,000 times 12 is $7,200,000.
$7,200,000.
So, what would that be a month?
If you gave $1,000 to 600,000 people, what's 1,000 times 600,000?
That's what you have to ask first, right?
Hey, Suri, what's 1,000 times 600,000?
It's going to be 6 million, right?
$600,000 is $600 million.
$600 million.
So then you go, hey, Suri, what's $600 million times 12?
Hey, Suri.
What's 600 million times 12?
600 million times 12 is $7,200,000.
Yeah, I was right.
$7.2 billion.
So we got there the long way, but that's what it is.
So that's just $7 billion a year.
You know, they increase the defense budget by at least $50 billion every year, pretty much.
So we got the money.
We print our own money.
We could totally do this.
$7.2 billion.
You give every homeless person a stipend.
Go ahead, Kurt.
Do you think, because if you're at the point where, I mean, I lived in New York for years, and like, for example, being in LA now, just seeing the homelessness is shocking in a way that in New York, because my experience living in New York is like, even if you were paying for a place, it's kind of expensive, it was still pretty shitty.
Like, it's a remarkable rat race there.
And so, like, it's shocking here, and I don't know why they can't.
Every city just has a huge amount of graft where in New York, there's this famous one as some mobster gas pipe Casso is running this angels homeless outreach, you know, and it was a shelter, and they did have a shelter, but they were skimming most of the money for themselves.
That's kind of stuff that goes on all the time.
And I don't know how, especially people if they're addicts or where you could just give them, you know, you have to set up stuff for them besides that you give them the money.
That's just if I, when I was an OxyContin addict, and if you give me $1,000 a month stipend, I can tell you $700 would go to OxyContin.
No, I mean, if you give it to them like in the form of, you know, like when you give people food stamps, they can only use it at the food store and for certain things.
So you give them a stipend that you give to a landlord and the landlord takes it to the government and they give him, you know, I mean, so it's not really cash.
You remember when people on food stamps were getting lobsters?
But anyway, we got to try something.
Let's say it costs three times that.
Let's say it costs 20 billion, 21 billion.
It's still better than blowing up an entire country for 20 years.
I'm 100%.
That's right.
Try just throwing it.
You know what?
Actually, just throwing it at homeless people, the money would be a better, better spending than what we're doing.
Exactly right.
Than putting it in bombs and blowing up brown people around the world, which is what we do with it.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, this is Joe Biden.
Oh, hello, Mr. President.
Nice to hear from you.
What?
Excuse me?
What?
Jimmy, that's Mandarin for what's up, Doc.
Oh, yes.
You just had your sit-down with the Chinese president.
I got it.
You bet your crab rangoons I did.
Did you know they don't even have they don't even know what crab rangoons are in China?
No, I did not.
They never even heard of them.
It's an American invention.
Bomb me straight the fuck out.
I thought I was heading to Rangoon Central.
I was going to hit the motor load.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Anyway, what was they talking about?
Oh, yeah.
Yes, Jimmy.
I sat down with President Xin Jinping for a real heart-to-heart.
Well, Sano-American.
How do you say that?
Is that Sino or Sino?
Yeah.
Sino?
Okay.
Well, Sino-American relations do need a bit of an overhaul.
Were you able to make any headway on issues such as climate change, trade, the pandemic, or arms reduction?
No.
Okay.
But it's a promising start, Jimmy.
Well, what did you focus on then?
Taiwan.
Right.
Okay.
Jimmy, do you know about Taiwan?
That whole issue makes me want to Taiwan on and forget that that little fucking island even exists.
Just kidding.
I don't drink.
And if I started now, I'd probably die.
Quite possibly.
This whole thing has been a headache since the 70s.
China says Taiwan is part of China, but Taiwan says, hell no, we're not, Jack.
In fact, we're China.
You're not even China.
It's very confusing.
To minefield, I got to maneuver around.
Chinese state media reported that you don't support Taiwan independence.
No, no, no.
That's not what I said.
I said we support China's one China policy.
Meaning China's assertion that Taiwan is part of China.
No, no, well, yeah.
But I also said we strongly discourage any attempt to change the status quo.
This makes no sense.
Look, Buster Brown, it's very simple.
The United States supports Taiwanese independence from China, while at the same time acknowledges that Taiwan is part of China.
Well, those two are opposites, Joe.
I know.
