Time Text
See in Denver, Palm Springs, Austin, Texas, and Burbank, California after Thanksgiving.
Plus, we're going to be doing a lot of shows in December in Studio City.
Go to jimmydorkomedy.com for a link for all the tickets.
Beep.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy.
Oh, hi, Alec.
What?
No full resume today?
Jimmy, I don't have time for that.
I am in a quandary.
Oh, yeah.
What's your quandary?
I'm deciding whether or not to leave Twitter in a very public huff.
Is that so?
Obviously, my conscience nearly demands it.
How could I possibly remain on a social media site?
Grace it with my presence, knowing it is run by internationally known bad man, Elon Musk.
Do you think other billionaires who run massive corporations are good people or something?
Not necessarily, but they aren't as publicly reviled as Musk is.
Okay, I got it.
But at the same time, Jumping Ship altogether smacks of surrender.
This quite a pickle.
What are you doing, if I may ask?
I'm staying.
I got a large following, and it's still a good platform to reach my fans, and it's not as if it was run by angels beforehand.
Okay, so Doris stayed.
That's a mark in the leave, Colin.
Hey!
Nothing personal, of course.
You see, the other angle here is I need to figure out what the very good boy move is as a morally superior actor.
I must make sure that whatever I choose comes with the right two virtuals.
Virtue signal about it.
I wonder.
I wonder.
I see.
Aside from what Andy Richter is going to be doing, but aside from all this, aside from all this, do you have tangible misgivings about the good boy?
I know it.
I know you guys are.
But do you have any tangible misgivings about the direction Twitter's going to go in now?
Well, of course I do.
Twitter used to be respectable.
Uh-huh.
A civilized marketplace of ideas.
An online salon.
Salon.
Salon.
go to electronic Agora of the intelligentsia.
There were days when I felt that we had nearly solved the mysteries of the universe.
Me and the rest of the hive mind.
Yeah.
To be clear, this is the website Twitter.com we're talking about, right?
Of course.
Okay.
Now it will be less regulated.
All the brutes like Trump will be let back in.
Speech won't be censored as it is now.
Chaos.
So you want censorship then?
That's what you really just said.
Well, of course.
People I don't like need to be silenced so that things can remain reasonable.
Interesting.
If you stay, will you be keeping your blue check?
Well, yes, naturally.
Why wouldn't I?
That blue check mark and the one that you have as well.
They set us apart from the hoi bloi, Jimmy.
The rabbling masses, it means I am somebody.
I am Alec Baldwin of Twitter.
Even though you have to pay for it now, what you didn't hear that?
That you have to pay a monthly fee now to keep your blue check.
You didn't hear that?
I earned that check mark by being a famous person.
I agree.
This is ridiculous.
How much is it?
It started at $20 a month, but I think now he went down to $8 a month to keep your blue check.
It's hard to keep up.
Well, I suppose I can afford that.
But that's still money that's being taken away from my nine or so children and my wife, Ilaria.
But it's a small price to pay to retain what is my proudest badge of honor.
It's not like just anyone can purchase a checkmark.
Actually, they can.
What?
Yeah, anyone who pays $8 a month gets a blue check.
It's Elon's way of making Twitter more egalitarian, he says.
What the fuck?
Anyone can have a blue?
I need to sit down.
This is a calamity, Jimmy.
Yeah, I guess.
I guess it is.
I mean, how will Twitter function?
How will people know the difference between opinions voiced by some loser nobody and well-sharpened thought lances wielded by me or you or the esteemed David Brooks or Thomas L. Friedman?
I guess people just have to decide for themselves.
No, thank you.
No thank you to that, sir.
Now my tweets carry the same weight as any Tom, Dick, or Harry.
Any Johnny scrub-along who comes puts down his mop long enough to opine about world affairs and in so doing uses the word dang twice, misspelling it once?
What I dare ask is even the point.
Well, do you want a free speech platform or not, Alec?
No, of course not.
What a disastrous idea.
Every civilization needs a ruling class, especially online.
And I won't be relinquishing my crown to settle this.
I'm staying.
I will buy up all the check marks that are for sale and put them behind my name.
I don't care if that impoverishes my brood of pseudo-Hispanic children.
*laughter*...of being better than others.
Well, I'm glad to see that this decision is being made by the better angels of your nature, Alec.
As they always do.
Okay.
I must go, Jimmy.
I don't know if my other celebrities are fully aware of this crisis.
I must convene them immediately in an emergency celebrity meeting at the Fame Lair, an underground bunker beneath the Chateau Marmal.
Once again, a billionaire is trying to make life slightly less glamorous for multi-millionaires, and we won't stand for it.
To the Baldwin Copter.
Ha ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Ha ha ha.
Establishment media sucks.
All gaslighting, so good luck.
Bullshit we can't afford.
He's fomenting this.
Watch and see as the jack off.
The median speeds and jumps the medium.
And hits them head on.
It's the Chimitor Show.
you you you There's this article out in an Atlantic, and this is it right here.
It says, let's declare a pandemic amnesty.
I just want to remind people.
Okay.
And I just want to remind people that this is the kind of shit we were dealing with.
People saying, don't do your own research and don't think critically.
You know what?
Don't do your own research means?
It means don't read.
You know what the rabbit hole used to be called?
The library.
Yeah.
And so now they don't want you to go to the library and they don't want you to critically think.
That's the kind of shit that was considered publishable in the New York Times.
Stop thinking critically and stop going to the library.
Stop reading.
This is the kind of shit we were under that I was living under under COVID.
Now, I got vaccine injured in April of 2021 and I started questioning the vaccine and the COVID policy and everything I looked into.
They were lying.
They were lying about masks.
They were lying about herd immunity.
They were lying about natural immunity.
They were lying about ivermectin.
They were lying about early treatments.
They were lying about what weren't they lying about?
They lied about it all.
But I will say it was, it did turn out they were safe and effective and slow to spread.
That's right.
Oh, definitely.
They're definitely safe and effective.
And I have to say that they're safe and effective.
They had a Pfizer executive just admit to the European Parliament that they never even studied whether it would stop the transmission.
That's what she said, right?
Wasn't that what we all learned?
You're going to study every little part of the thing we're saying.
She said they didn't even look into it.
She didn't want to go down the rabbit hole.
They were lying about, they were wrong on mandates.
They were lying about that.
They were lying about the truckers.
They were lying about anybody who questioned them.
They were lying about doctors and scientists from Stanford and Harvard and Yale who questioned Fauci and Collins at the NIH.
They smeared them.
So this wasn't.
So what she's going to say Jimmy.
I'm going to forgive you.
So what I'm going to say.
So I'm just going to spoiler alert.
What this article does is pretend that people in good faith just got things wrong.
And now that the information has been revealed, they all accept it.
First of all, they still don't.
They still are for vaccine mandates.
They still hate the unvaccinated.
They still don't understand the science around masks at all.
They don't understand that one N95 mask protects you better than two surgical masks.
So meaning you don't need anybody else to wear a mask to protect you.
You should wear it.
If you want to, if you want that protection, they don't understand.
They still don't care.
You know what the counterargument is to what you're saying?
What?
Don't be that guy.
Yeah.
And I'm not.
And by the way, I'm not talking.
These weren't, again, these weren't people getting stuff wrong.
Here's a guy who should have known way, way better.
And listen to what he says.
That's a good point, the thing of never assume malice when it might be incompetence.
It's malice.
So many more times than you think it hurts.
It is way more.
Watch this.
When you talk about folks having the freedom to separate if they don't want to abide by these vaccine mandates, what would that look like on a practical level?
Does that mean that folks need to just stay home and have groceries delivered to them?
Does it mean like separated communities of folks who are unvaccinated?
Or just, you know, how do you think this would practically play out?
Same way as with people who say that I don't want to, I don't want to accept traffic rules.
I suppose there were people who said, it's an attack on my liberty to make me stop at a red light.
It's government overreach.
Now, here's why that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
And he should have known better.
And this is unbelievable.
Because when you get the vaccine, they make you stay there for 15 minutes after you get it to make sure you don't die.
That's what I was told when I got it.
You know what?
When you go through a traffic light, I don't have to pull over 15 minutes, see if I die.
That'd be a big difference between traffic lights and a mandated experimental medical treatment that you have no long-term data on.
And that now we do.
And we know that you were 1,000% wrong.
But you know what he wanted to do to people who questioned it and didn't go along with big pharma and the government?
You want to know what he wanted to do to them?
Let's listen.
I don't want the state to have that power over my private life.
Well, such people have to be, they should have the decency to remove themselves from the community.
If they refuse to do that, then measures have to be taken to safeguard the community from them.
Then comes the practical question that you ask.
How can we get food to them?
Well, that's actually their problem.
I just noticed the other problem with this argument.
If you don't want to obey traffic lights, they don't put you in an internment camp and keep food from you.
They might not let you drive if you really push it.
So I list love this.
Chomsky, October 2020.
Trump is basically Hitler.
Vote Biden to stop Orange Hitler.
Chomsky, October 2021, Biden has a responsibility to remove by starvation, if necessary, these subhuman creatures from society.
And he was 1,000% wrong, and I've yet to see him apologize for it.
And people will give him a pass for this.
People won't, nobody will hold him responsible for saying this.
And it would go a long way if he came out and talked about how egregiously wrong he was.
That's why we need a COVID amnesty.
Right.
But he won't.
He's not asking for anybody's forgiveness for saying this horrible Cretan-like bullshit.
Well, you know, it's monstrous, what he said.
And people excuse him left and right because he's old.
Well, there's the, look, there's the manufactured consent, Noam Chomsky, and then there's the guy that is sort of like Pol Pot.
Yeah, that's right.
And so what makes this horrible is that in real time, I knew better than he did because I was smart enough to go to the guy who was one of the inventors of the mRNA vaccine technology.
And he told me on my show in July of 2021 that we're never going to vaccinate our way out of this, that the vaccine is a leaky vaccine.
And that means you're never going to stop the pandemic with this vaccine.
He told me that.
So you listen to science.
So I, yeah.
So that's me interviewing one of the top vaccine scientists in a world.
And Chomsky wasn't.
I guess he doesn't watch my show.
I guess I don't know what he's watching or reading about vaccines or about the COVID-19 or about mandates or about traffic lights, but he's 100% wrong, 1,000%.
And it was damaging.
People lost their jobs.
People got injured.
There's lots of bad people, not the least of which, which would be the emotional damage done by families who've been ripped apart by this, friendships who've been ended by this.
And Chomsky doesn't have the character to come out strongly and say I was wrong.
You know who is doing that now?
Tim Robbins, the actor, The former husband of Susan Sarandon is coming out and saying this is bullshit, that these mandates are still in place in Hollywood, even after the New York State Supreme Court overturned the firing of the 70,000 of all those people who were fired because they wouldn't get vaccinated in New York State.
They overturned it and they reinstated them.
Not only that, they gave them back pay because they were 1,000% wrong.
So Tim Robbins is a big person with integrity and dignity.
He came out strongly, publicly on social media and said we should stop this.
Where's Chomsky?
Where is he?
He's nowhere.
And it would go a long way for me and this show if he did that.
That's why I'm personally invested in this.
And I was personally let down because Chomsky is one of my personal heroes, just like everybody else on the left.
And to see him do stuff like that after he shit on healthcare activists, which is what he did, it was a double whammy.
And nobody's making him apologize for it or even make amends.
And so I'm going to show you.
I'm going to play this for you because people are, there's a lot more people like us than you think.
And this guy is a very smarty pants doctor.
I think he just made him a professor.
And he's on some podcasts.
And listen to what they have to say about this idea of amnesty.
Where people say, oh, now we know that it wasn't a good idea.
So people say, oh, vaccine mandates.
Oh, now we know the vaccines block transmission.
It wasn't a good idea.
It was like, no, it was never a good idea to ostracize people from society for being unvaccinated.
That was a bad idea for all kinds of reasons, for moral reasons, for scientific reasons, for political reasons, for social reasons.
It was obviously a bad idea.
It's not now we know they don't block transmission.
Yeah, that makes an even worse idea.
Omicron breakthrough infections, that makes it an even worse idea, but it was a bad idea to start with.
And likewise, we'd really say, oh, now we know that cloth masks don't work.
All that kind of mania and like forcing people to wear cloth masks.
That didn't really make sense.
I mean, they still really believe that cloth masks work, right?
But people say, oh, now we know.
It's like, no.
First of all, we knew that in 2009 and 10, that they weren't going to work.
And it's not that now we know.
It's that they were, it was mandates in particular were always wrong because they weren't supported by high quality evidence because you shouldn't force people to do something when a recommendation would be fine and so on.
And same thing for police involvement in public health, prolonged school closures, preventing people from meeting outdoors.
It's not that now we know outdoors is safe or whatever.
It's always safe.
I just had a student go through all the literature on outdoor transmission.
There's only one case ever reported and it was in China in 2020.
That's it, you know?
And that one wasn't even confirmed.
It's not that now we know.
And that was the one that happened at the wet market.
That was the first one.
That's how it got loose.
It was in the wet market.
It was outdoor.
Okay.
You know, that's really well said.
And sorry to interrupt you, but I guess I feel the same way when people say, now we know.
I was like, oh, well, let me tell you, in March of 2020, that was when I wrote an op-ed saying we should hear scientists with different views and not demonize them.
That's the title instead.
And the point was that maybe lockdown wasn't a great idea.
And at minimum, even if you thought it was, you should be willing to have a dialogue with the people who thought it didn't.
And one of those people was John Yoonidis, who has a good track record and is a smart guy and is not some evil right-wing, jet blue, whatever, crazy conspiracy theory.
You've told yourself.
And then by early spring of 2020, I knew that outdoor risk was zero.
And that's why I would do all sorts of things outdoor.
And if anything, I thought we should encourage outdoor behavior to try to take some of the pressure off indoor behavior and actually give people an outlet for socializing.
I knew by spring that opening schools could be done totally safe because thank God Sweden had done the experiment and half of Western Europe followed their lead, at least in elementary school.
And the United States didn't.
And I knew that.
So he's talking about stuff that he knew in 2020.
You know, he's talked, that's what he's talking about.
Stuff that they knew already.
And so this article, which I still have yet to show you, is talking about, oh, now we know.
No, we freaking knew back then too.
Yeah, there's no way.
I was going to say this before that, but there's no way that you knew before all the experts.
That's right.
You just are saying it.
I was the one willing to say it and stick my chin out and get my teeth kicked in and be called anti-vax and right-wing and a conspiracy theorist and aiding fascism and any other stupid fucking thing you could think of was hurled at me by everybody I know.
Well, I know this sounds cynical, Jimmy, but I almost suspect that they just were already looking for a reason to ostracize a whole chunk of people.
And this was a handy way to go.
Very handy.
This was exactly it.
There's a video out there that got 700, 800,000 views talking about how I'm a vaccine grifter, even though I'm the only one with the balls to tell the truth about the COVID policy.
And I got it right.
And I'm being proven right every fucking day, just like I was right about Russia Gate, Syria Gate.
Now I'm right about this.
COVID lockdowns, right about masks, right about the whole goddamn thing, because it doesn't take a genius to get this shit right.
It takes someone with balls to fucking actually say it out loud.
Well, Jimmy, you can't spell coward without cow.
So let's get back to this.
It's a mistake.
And I knew when the teacher, when the AAP said we should reopen schools, that was the right idea.
And I knew when Trump echoed it, it was the right idea.
But what I didn't know was that they would change their tune just because Trump said it.
Just that to me blew me away.
And so we were, again, we were following the science and we were saying that the teacher unions were wrong.
We're very big union supporters.
Steph was a union leader in the teachers union her whole career.
And people tried to make it out like we were attacking teachers.
No, we were actually following the science and saying that the schools should be reopened.
And we were right.
And of course, we're being proven correct.
This article proves us correct in the Atlantic.
Now the Atlantic agrees with us.
So anyway, here we go.
New cloth masks didn't work.
I could read all the randomized trials to date.
And I knew we should be doing more randomized trials.
And Trish Greenhall and others didn't think we should.
That was a mistake.
I knew we should reopen certainly by the fall, if not have already reopened by then.
We had German data that showed that was safe.
I knew we shouldn't have changed the number of cases we look at as the primary statistical analysis plan of the Pfizer trial merely to delay the product.
I knew we shouldn't have done that.
That was a mistake.
I didn't sign that letter.
I knew that when the vaccine came out, that the way we prioritized the rollout was misguided, putting a 20-year-old resident ahead of an 88-year-old.
So when he's talking about when they rolled out the vaccine, they prioritized giving it to medical workers.
He goes, you're going to give it to a 20-year-old resident before you give it to an 80-year-old woman.
That doesn't make any sense.
And that's exactly right.
They were wrong about that too.
They should have had targeted, they should have targeted the vac.
The whole COVID policy should have been targeted.
And that was called the Barrington Declaration.
But guess what?
Those scientists, they weren't just said they were wrong.
They just weren't disagreed with.
They weren't even just dismissed.
There were articles written to smear them and slander them in The Intercept, in news, in everywhere you could look.
They did to try to smear and slander those people as some kind of right wing grifters.
They're from Stanford and Harvard and Yale.
They're the tops in their fields, the most the most cited in their fields.
And they smeared those people.
They weren't getting it.
These weren't good faith efforts to try to get it right.
And they just got it wrong.
No, this was a criminal conspiracy to silence anybody who went against Big Pharma's narrative and it succeeded um you know what's amazing what what's the guy's name the doctor dr vinni prasad him saying like i didn't what i didn't think they would do is just because trump said it they would do the opposite you did That's the thing.
It's, it's really shocking.
Somebody's like, especially a guy's a doctor who's smart.
You thought you didn't think that's how it worked?
Right?
Of course.
There's a little bit more of this.
In the community, that was misguided.
And then I knew the mandates were not going to do anything of good.
Either that it didn't provide an additional benefit to that third party and that there's a downside to imposing something on the population.
And that downside is has so many spillover effects in so many domains that we have yet to live with.
And then I've known that pretty much since the vaccine, I think most of our policy was really misguided, like paying for Pax of it, not doing randomized studies, living in fear.
I mean, so when they say, like, now we know better, I'm like, yeah, I've known all of exactly.
And so here, I just, let me just breeze through this article for you.
If you're, if you're still interested, here it comes.
Some of these choices, they talked, she's talked, oh, we just made choices and we were wrong.
Some of the choices turn out to be better than others.
Take example, close to my own work.
There is an emerging, if not universal, consensus that schools in the U.S. were closed for too long.
You are wrong about that.
There are millions of people.
You go on Twitter and say they should and see what happens to you.
You're going to be called a eugenicist if you say that they should open schools again.
She's trying, she knows it's true and is trying to make it like there's an emerging thing that people are saying.
That's what that is.
She's trying to convince you.
No, everybody's now coming along round to this.
I don't, anyway, the health risks of in-school spread were relatively low.
And you know, when we knew that, we knew that in 2020 because of Sweden.
I knew that because of Sweden.
The health risk of in-school spread were relatively low, whereas the cost of students' well-being and educational progress were high.
Yes.
The latest figures on learning loss are alarming.
Yeah.
What about, and people who were warning, ringing the warning bell were smeared.
They just weren't disagreed with.
But in the spring and summer of 2020, we had only glimmers of information.
Okay.
Reasonable people, people who cared about children and teachers, advocated on both sides of the reopening.
There's nothing wrong with advocating.
We're talking about people who slandered, smeared, discredited, and lied about people who they disagreed with.
That's what this is about.
And you know what you need first?
You need an act of contrition.
So as soon as Chomsky and all those other people who called me anti-vax, called me whatever those names are, I'm enabling fascism, whatever bullshit they could think of, until they, when they apologize to me, I'll be glad to say your apology.
You're forgiven.
Apology accepted.
No problem.
No hard feelings even.
Even though you said all that horrible shit about me on social media.
No hard feelings.
If you apologize.
If Chomsky apologizes, he gives you three wishes.
Obviously, some people intend.
So this is what she's writing in The Atlantic.
Obviously, some people intended to mislead and made wildly irresponsible claims.
Who are those people?
She never says.
You know who those people were?
Dr. Fauci.
Yeah.
And everybody in social media and everybody in corporate media who said Ivermectin was horse-paced.
Those were people who were misleading people on purpose.
You know who that was?
Everybody in corporate media.
And now you just want to let them go without apologizing or admitting they were lying.
At least Joe Rogan got Dr. Sanjay Gupta to admit that everybody at CNN, including him, was lying about Ivermectin.
They weren't just kidding.
They were lying to mislead you.
That's who did it.
Fauci, the FDA, the goddamn everybody in the corporate media.
This wasn't some fucking random thing of people getting it wrong, Axildexidentally.
Remember when the only thing she points to is when Trump, somebody, remember when the public health community, oh shit.
Remember when the public health community had to spend a lot of time and resources urging Americans not to inject themselves with bleach?
That's the only thing she mentions.
She doesn't mention the Ivermectin thing where they showed people in winter coats standing outside Oklahoma emergency rooms in August.
She didn't talk about that.
She doesn't talk about all the lies they told about immunity, natural immunity, herd immunity, masks.
They don't talk about any of that stuff about transmission, contraction.
She doesn't talk about anything.
This is what she points to.
That was bad.
She says that was bad.
Misinformation was and remains a huge problem.
But she doesn't talk about the misinformation coming from the establishment.
Isn't that amazing?
Well, no, she says it right here.
But most errors were, most errors were made by people who were working in earnest.
They were not.
They were lying at the top of their lungs.
Fauci admitted he was lying about herd immunity.
He admitted he was lying about masks.
He admitted it, even though they've rewritten the history if you try to look it up on Google.
In earnest.
for the good of society.
I think that's media bullshit.
But let's say I'm wrong.
And if anybody really did do that, how long were those people going to live anyway?
Oh, bleach works.
It's not like they were just about those people who were just about to cure cancer and they fell for the bleach hoax.
And when and so they at the Atlantic, they were doing earnest misinformation, Kurt.
That's what was happening there.
The good kind.
Not the bad kind like Alex Jones.
He was in earnest when he was and now he's being sued for $2 trillion because he was in earnest.
So if you take earnesty away from misinformation, $2 trillion.
But Ernesty is your shield from prosecution.
I was earnest.
You don't think Alex Jones was earnest in his drunken, maniac, co-confused rant about the...
I think he was earnest.
To the point of borderline insanity, I would say.
I would say he was earnest.
Jesus.
Given the amount of uncertainty, almost every position was taken on every topic.
And on every topic, someone was eventually proved right.
And someone else was proved wrong.
No, that's still not true.
That's still, there are still vaccine mandates for kids going to college.
There's still vaccine mandates on every set in Hollywood.
My friend, I have friends who can't go on auditions because they are standing up against the mandate.
This isn't true.
She's making it up.
They've been proved wrong, but they're not admitting they've been proved wrong.
Nobody's apologized to me.
Has anybody apologized to you?
Anybody has what?
Who's Fauci come out and say, oh, we got everything wrong?
I have to just take mild comfort in famous people's facial paralysis.
That's the only thing I get out of it.
And she listens to this.
She goes, in some instances, the right people, the right people were right for the wrong reasons.
But she never says what those are.
Wait, what?
She never says what.
So the right people were right for the wrong reasons.
What in the Name of Jesus Fauci Christ, does that even mean?
What is that?
What does that mean?
The right people were right for the wrong reason.
Who cares what reasons they were right for?
What?
And also, the right people.
The right people.
I don't know.
The people who got it right for whatever reason may want to go for whatever reason.
Maybe because how about they just want their fucking jobs back?
Yeah, they may want to.
Maybe they want a legal settlement.
Maybe they want that too.
Not only gloat.
What the F?
Say legal settlements are the best gloating.
Those who got it wrong for whatever reason may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn't accord with the facts.
First of all, what's this may shit?
Okay.
You mean they will start doing that?
And they already have been doing that all along.
Or they may write the most long-winded bullshit article in the Atlantic.
Yeah.
Anyway, hey, why not say those were that?
Why not say that those who were wrong all along are going to continue to spread misinformation because that's what the fuck they're doing.
And they're still doing it.
Go on Twitter.
I'm going to burn this into my this brain.
Yes.
Some people, for whatever reason, for whatever reason, are going to keep lying.
No, but I won't just say that.
I want to.
I say it the Atlantic way.
Yeah.
They may feel defensive and retrench and retrench.
That doesn't accord with the facts.
Otherwise, lying about the science.
Yes.
Just to even write that sentence is like you're trying to spread misinformation.
I know.
All right.
I know, Kurt, I'm with you.
It's all of this gloating and defensiveness continues to gobble up a lot of the social energy and drive the culture wars.
You know what?
Gobbling it up?
Fucking big pharma-funded propaganda that nobody's debunking.
Hey, we need that social energy for Ukraine.
Stop these energy-guzzling topics.
These discussions are heated, unpleasant, and ultimately unproductive in the face of so much uncertainty.
Getting something right had a hefty element of luck.
No, it fucking didn't.
Does that mean some of us are billionaires now?
Like extra billionaires?
You got to get luck.
Like it was like flipping a coin.
Do men are mandates good or bad?
I don't know.
I'm going to get lucky.
I didn't get lucky.
This is real funny for everybody, kids.
I didn't get lucky.
I looked into it.
You know, that's called doing your own research.
I know.
I was prescient.
I thought prescience like ESP.
Did you just read the thing?
No, I just read.
I just, all I had to do was read and I interviewed a guy who was a leading vaccine researcher.
That's all I had to do.
And I knew what was going on.
And similarly, getting something wrong wasn't a moral failing.
But they turned it into one.
It was a joke then.
They turned it into.
Yeah, no, it was a moral failing, you absolute craven bourgeois twit.
The moral failing of being a status-obsessed careerist.
You know, the main moral failing of pyramids, you know, the main moral failing our pyramid scheme of a nation is built on it was a moral failing.
What Chromsky did was a moral failing.
What Chomsky did was a moral failing.
Wanting to enforce an experimental medical treatment with no long-term studies on other people, or else they would lose their livelihood or their ability to travel or visit.
That was a moral failing, and it should never be forgotten.
It should be forgiven, but it should never be forgotten.
And for in order for it to be forgiven, the people who did that moral failing need to admit it and make a sincere act of contrition.
That's what your article should be saying.
That those motherfuckers who got this wrong should be making a sincere act of contrition.
Not that we should look the other way while they continue to retrench into lying.
Also, like, I mean, you already can't be sued for it.
So, is that so much to ask?
Right?
It's not like you're liable.
We have to put these fights aside and declare a pandemic amnesty.
Do you think it will be safe?
Do you think the pandemic amnesty will be a safe and effective treatment?
Because personally, I worry about the possible cases of breakthrough.
Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.
We can leave out the willful purveyors of actual misinformation.
Again, she won't say who it is.
I'll say who it was.
It was Fauci, who was an intentional misinformer.
The corporate media, everybody who lied about Iver Mectin.
Those are the people who are on purpose.
Every prick in her social circle.
That's right.
How about everybody in your social circle and everybody who works at the Atlantic?
How about that?
By the way, the Atlantic are the people who smeared Dr. Robert Malone.
Of course.
This exact, so you smear a guy who's at the top of his field, you try to discredit him.
And then now the same goddamn publication is saying, hey, you know what?
No, no blood, no fun, no harm, no foul.
There was lots of harm.
And you have to make contrition for that.
You have to make amends for that.
And so that's where we got to go.
Isn't this the magazine of like, you know, my fiancé is wearing a dress to fight masculinity.
I'm not sure if I'm attracted to her.
I don't know if this is.
That's the kind of problems they deal with.
So at the end, she even says that she was a victim of this.
She says, because I thought schools should reopen and argued that kids as a group were not at high risk, I was called a teacher killer and a genocide.
That's not how you spell the C-word.
I know.
It wasn't pleasant, but feelings were high.
And I certainly don't need to dissect and rehash that time for the rest of my days.
No, but those people need to make an act of contrition.
That's what needs to happen.
It's a thing, too.
Oh, well, she was.
I agreed that she was the victim.
I agree that that happened to her.
And it was shitty that that happened to her.
And I'm sorry that that happened to you.
But this isn't the way to fix all this.
You're wrong.
She's 100% wrong about this.
And you misframed the argument all the way through.
And you created that world with your dumb nonsense.
By all the people this comes back on, they're all part of it until it happens to them.
So finally, she got the gumption to say we should reopen schools.
And they shit on her.
Finally.
Oh, is that weird?
It seems like those were the crazy conspiracy nuts.
So anyway, that's the end of that.
And so everybody knows how I feel.
I just want to make sure I add that the vaccines, while they don't stop completely the transmission of the virus, or the vaccine, they do slow the transmission and contraction.
Slowly.
They do slow.
I have to tell, that's the science from YouTube.
Slowly vaccinated.
And when I got COVID anyway, it slowly came on.
And slowly.
I can attest to all the viewers that it does work.
Yeah, it does work.
So just because we all got vaccinated and we all got COVID doesn't mean.
And then I got an extra injection of context.
Yes.
So I'm doing this because these are the rules and I have to follow the rules.
Okay.
And by the way, the vaccine is completely safe and effective.
Even the one they pulled off.
Even the one they pulled.
Okay.
Even the one they're not using anymore.
I love it.
I love it.
By the way, you know where all the polio, there was a police.
There was a polio outbreak in New York.
You know where everybody's getting the polio from?
Don't look it up because it'll blow your mind.
Okay.
It's not coming from nature.
Okay.
Bunch of people forwarding into the water supply.
A bunch of people.
That's right.
That is exactly what's happening.
So Barack Obama got heckled over the Democrats' warmongering and his warmongering.
So you know, Barack Obama took us from two wars to seven.
Barack Obama dropped more bombs than George Bush.
Barack Obama presided over the invasion bombing of Libya and turning it into a failed state with open slave markets.
They did that with NATO.
He also occupied Afghanistan for 20 years.
The Afghanistan papers reveal that they were lying about the Afghanistan war for 20 straight years.
It was nothing but a money transfer from the U.S. Treasury to the military-industrial complex.
And Barack Obama presided over that, and he knew he was.
Barack Obama.
So.
But wasn't it a more nuanced invasion, though?
So this guy who confronted AOC about them also at AOC's town hall about funding the nuclear war potential in Ukraine.
And so these two other people showed up at Barack Obama's speech and they called out bloodthirsty Barack Obama today in Michigan for his role in instigating the Ukraine conflict.
Ilhan Omar, you want to know how the U.S. started the conflict in Ukraine?
Pay attention.
So here, let's listen.
So now they're going to heckle him and then I'll show you how Barack Obama responded.
You overthrew Ukraine in 2014.
You overthrew the legitimate Ukraine in 2014.
Tell us about your plans for nuclear war with Russia.
Stop promoting nuclear war with Russia.
They're going to kill us with nuclear war.
Russia's the enemy.
Russia is not the enemy of Russia!
Stop beating us into the nuclear war with Russia!
No nuclear war.
And I don't know if you noticed.
So anyway, so the people start to chant.
They try to shout down the people who don't want nuclear war.
Oh, you're being impolite.
Victorian Ukraine!
Victorian Nuclear!
It's Naval!
Mr. President, there's more people that are serving people.
There's more people that are going to get hurt if we go into nuclear war right now.
Thank you what you did in Ukraine in 2014.
Why didn't you tell the people that what you did to work the wars you killed in 2014?
Will you tell the truth?
Will you tell the guy?
There is a process that we set up in our democracy.
Yeah, but we're on the verge of not talking.
Do you care about the lives of your supporters?
Will you tell the truth?
The world's lost in the world.
The world's lost in the world.
You wouldn't do that in the workplace.
So now Barack Obama is telling the activists against nuclear war that they're being rude.
That's exactly what AOC.
You wouldn't do this at the workplace.
Barack Obama's pretending not to understand what protesting is of very powerful people.
So Barack Obama is not some nightclub performer that people are interrupting, that people pay tickets.
He's the ex-president of the United States and still considered the head of the Democratic Party.
Well, I mean, he makes more money on the road than I do doing performances.
So these are people protesting one of the most powerful men in the world about nuclear war.
This is not the same thing as interrupting someone at work, you fucking piece of shit on purpose.
He's a private citizen now.
But he's a private citizen.
This is not that.
This is a political rally, and protesters are talking about nuclear war.
They're not at work.
They're at a fucking gymnasium.
That's why they should do this.
Well you know what will be worse than nuclear war?
If the Democrats lose their midterms big.
Yeah.
2016 is on your short step.
You were the blind part of the Bay of Ireland.
That's a lot of courage.
He is, there's a lot of courage.
They are causing a ruckus.
I'm all for it.
That is fantastic.
As AOC says, bring the ruckus.
Yes.
Hold on.
We tried.
Come on.
Oh, poor Barack.
I've been there.
Yeah.
Spirit of this country.
Yes.
So now I'm going to play.
You can hear Barack Obama's response to him.
Spirit of this country.
Mr. President.
Yes.
So, sir, sir, the only way we're with, come on.
Come on.
That's his response to someone protesting about nuclear war.
Come on.
Well, he's not a crowd work guy.
Yeah, he's not good at crowdwork.
That's what I mean.
This is what I mean.
I mean, we're having a conversation.
Come on.
Sir.
Sir.
And what?
Come on.
Sir, sir, this is this is what I'm saying.
Look, we've got it.
We've got a there is a process that we set up in our democracy.
Right now, I'm talking.
You'll have a chance to talk sometime soon.
You don't have to watch each other.
You don't have to shout each other down.
It's not a good way to do business.
You wouldn't do that in a workplace?
You wouldn't just interrupt people in the middle of a conversation.
Yeah, but we're not in the middle of a conversation.
You're giving a bullshit propaganda-filled fucking political rally, and someone's going to protest it.
That's what they're supposed to do.
That's what the United States is kind of built on.
I like that Obama, unless you can find a word for this, but wasn't using any of the three W's in this one.
So you mean racism?
Russia or women.
Russia or women.
It's not how we do things.
And this is part of the point that I want to make.
Just basic civility and courtesy.
This is going on during a nuclear war.
We got to have manners.
So that's what this is all about.
Manners.
Good civility.
Remember when the progressives used to want to bring the ruckus on the Democratic Party?
That's all over.
All those progressives who were Bernie Sanders fans, they're all regular fucking piece of shit Democrats now.
The Kyle Kalinskis, the Breaking Points, well, the Young Turks for sure.
All those people, the MSNBC contract people, all of them, they're all just, including Bernie Sanders, just regular fucking pro-war, anti-worker Democrats.
Well, once you get good health insurance, it changes your outlook.
So listen.
Remember, we used to want to bring the ruckus on the Democratic Party.
That's all over.
The establishment found a way to beat down the progressives and funnel them back into a pro-war, anti-worker party, and people on YouTube go along with it.
The people who used to support Bernie Sanders go along with it.
We're the people who said they were proud to be part of a movement with Bernie Sanders.
Where are those?
Maybe those people who said, I'm proud to be part of a movement with Bernie Sanders.
Oh, yeah, Bernie disbanded that fucking movement.
Where are you now?
Where are you?
Oh, you don't have anything to say after Bernie disbanded his movement?
I'm at an Obama nostalgia rally.
Yeah.
Stop interrupting my nostalgia.
Are you out there getting your sixth booster now?
It's okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Quiet up.
Hey, listen.
Hey, hold up, hold up.
Hold up.
Throw him out without his coat on.
That's what they would do at Trump rallies, right?
Someone's throwing him out.
Someone is throwing him out.
He doesn't have his coat on.
A guy with a coat is throwing out a guy without a coat.
That's all.
That's what I'm seeing.
And it ain't warm in Michigan.
I'll tell you that.
Hold up.
Hold on a minute.
Hold on.
This is...
Listen, everybody.
Hey, my God.
Y'all up there.
Pay attention.
Here's what happens.
Listen.
No, no, no.
I mean, this is part of not only is this an example of what I'm talking about, but it's also an example of how we get distracted.
We get distracted by nuclear war.
We can't worry about nuclear war.
We have to worry about selling more liquefied natural gas to Europe and helping our corporations in America.
Don't get distracted by the threat of nuclear war.
This should cut right to a mushroom cloud, like right from this point.
Hey, we're getting distracted.
Suddenly, world.
Y'all ever seen that movie, Up Man Dizzy?
Best dog and the dog's talking.
Squirrels.
Let's get nuclear war.
This guy's an asshole.
What do we get?
We can't do this.
We got to just let me keep talking and being pro-war.
Go ahead.
I can see why he gets those speaking fees.
Guy really knows how to handle a situation.
That's us.
That's us with politics.
We get distracted by someone who has a valid point about us warmongering ourselves into a nuclear confrontation over selling liquefied natural gas to Europe.
Now, that is a big distraction.
Hey, now, hold up.
Hold up now.
Hold up.
I just got a big new gray patch on the side of my head from this stress.
Hold up.
Focusing on what's important.
What's important?
Nuclear war, not importance.
This is who we are.
Wait, is this after Obama, the other video of Obama talking about how we should probably open the line?
This was after.
I think this was after, yeah.
Because maybe I'm just imagining, but I feel like I hear in his voice like, oh, geez, a nuclear war.
I better talk quick.
This is who we are.
I was waiting for him to take a drink of water.
Yeah.
I wanted him to kiss some water later.
No, I really do need a glass of water.
Somebody had the courage to advocate for no nuclear war with Russia, and the crowd responded by chanting Obama.
Imagine having your head shoved so far up your favorite politician's asshole that you turn on a person who is advocating against nuclear war.
You don't have to imagine it.
They just did it.
We just watched it.
This is like South Park when Obama won.
Obama.
He kept yelling it.
Oh, I didn't see that episode.
Everybody is Stan's dad from South Park now.
It's wild, dude.
Wow.
Just wow, I'm crying tears of joy knowing our country has a future because of the courage your friends demonstrated by holding a president's feet to the fire, speaking truth to power, demanding accountability.
So that was nice.
And by the way, this is what they're talking about: how and why the U.S. government perpetrated the 2014 coup in Ukraine.
We did that.
That's our CIA doing that.
Funding, pushing, invoking, and fomenting discord.
By the way, those two protesters, Anastasia Battled.
Howdy, I'm Anastasia Battle, editor-in-chief of Schiller's Institute's Lenore magazine.
Stewart battle.
So they're the battles.
He's the promoter of ideas whose time has come.
Build the world's land bridge.
I don't know what that means.
Build the world's land bridge.
I don't know either.
But I think, oh, they're LaRouche's.
Oh, boy.
So I don't know much about the LaRouche's, but I know that they're strong against war.
La Rouch followers.
Yeah, I know who Lyndon LaRouche, but they're called LaRouche's.
But I don't know if they're called that anymore.
I think they're LaRoucheurs, like Star Trek-E versus Trekker.
But I mean, that guy, Lyndon LaRouche, is long dead.
So I don't, but so I'm not.
I just want to show it up.
Oh, hey, go, go.
Again, in the words of Frederick Douglass, I will unite with anyone to do good and with no one to do bad.
Okay.
So whoever is anti-war and wants to help stop a nuclear war, I'm with you.
Whose quote is that?
Frederick Douglass.
Oh, that's a good quote.
Yeah.
I'll unite with anyone to do good and with no one to do bad.
And so I'll unite with these people to stop a war.
I'll unite with anyone to stop a nuclear war.
Anyone.
Why wouldn't you?
So this is one of those issues.
This is one of those things where, hey, we have more in common than this.
The establishment is pro-war.
Let's unite with anybody Who's anti-war, and you know who's anti-war?
A lot of the libertarians are anti-war.
You know, who's anti-war?
A lot of the progressives, not anymore.
They're all going for with Bern.
They're all following Bernie right up the fucking pro-war.
It's disgusting.
What about cooties, Jimmy?
A lot of socialists are against war.
A lot of communists are against war.
A lot of Jimmy Door fans.
I would say everybody who watches the show pretty much is.
A lot of people who know anything about war.
Anybody who saw Private Ryan is against war?
So I'll unite with anyone to be against war.
And so thank you to the battles for doing that.
Also, I think there's an anti-war candidate running.
Isn't it New York?
Are they running?
Is it running against Chuck Schumer?
Somebody's running.
I got to look into that.
Diane Sears.
Yeah, who's she running against Chuck Schumer?
Yes, Chuck Schumer, and they said she's So we should give anti-war people a voice.
We can get her on this week.
Yeah.
Boy, I certainly don't want to bring on somebody who's not the right type of person to be against a nuclear war.
I don't want to platform someone who's not the right type of lefty.
Yeah.
I'd rather.
That's what people actually believe.
They actually believe that there's certain people you shouldn't align with to stop a nuclear war.
This has been built up for years through every level of everything in media where that thing of it's like who not what they say.
It's who they are.
That's right.
You better be afraid.
You better be afraid to not be associated with them.
Yeah, and that's the whole goal: to make it, you don't think about what they do.
You think about it if you like the guy.
That's right.
That's right.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy.
Ah.
This is former and future Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Network.
I know, BB.
At right, BB.
You haven't forgotten me.
How could I forget you, BB?
I don't know, but you Americans, you have such short memories because you have such a short history.
Whereas in Israel, we sit upon 3,000 years of legacy.
Yeah, I see.
Such a long time that after a while we see history repeat itself, as is happening now in our latest election.
The fifth in four years.
Yeah, I know.
Things are apparently have gone very well for the Likud Party and its allies, and it's assumed you're going to be the prime minister again.
Well, I don't like to assume things.
I always feel that's tad arrogant.
But yes, I will be prime minister again and resume my rule over Israel in the occupied territories with an iron fist.
I see.
Now, these allies of yours, this includes a political party called the Religious Zionist Party, which is an extreme far-right organization, even further to the right than your own party, unapologetically anti-Arab.
They won seats in the Kiznet.
Yes.
And it's headed by Itamar Bengar, a politician who has a history of violent hate speech.
What is your point here?
Well, this man once had a framed portrait of Baruch Goldstein, a terrorist who murdered 29 Palestinians in a mosque in 1994.
To be fair, he took that down when he started to run for office.
Please give the whole story, Jimmy.
Look, here's the deal.
In Israel, just like in your country, politics makes strange bedfellows.
In order to gain a majority again, those of us who want to kill most Palestinians had to partner with those who want to kill all Palestinians.
That's just how democracy works, my friend.
This is atrocious.
Thank you.
Jimmy, we must protect the Israeli people at all costs.
From what exactly?
Our enemies, from the Palestinian terrorists, from Iran, from Kanye West.
Kanye West?
Yes.
My first act in office will be to order an internationally unsanctioned Mossad strike on American entertainer Kanye West.
Kanye meet Yahweh.
Ah, I see.
I suppose because of recent anti-Sem, his anti-Semitic comments.
Yes.
But, Jimmy, words beget action.
Anti-Semitic speech, even from an obviously unhinged maniac, leads to violence against Jews worldwide.
We cannot have Iran emboldened by Kanye's words.
You really think the Iranian regime is paying attention to Kanye West?
Jimmy.
Don't be naive.
Don't be naive.
We must assume that all our enemies are in collusion with one another.
This sounds like paranoia to me.
Who told you that?
An anti-Semiteware?
I think the dictionary did.
So we can plan on an Israeli government that's even further to the right than in the past.
I mean, even with respect to the occupied territories?
Especially with respect to the occupied territories.
You bet your Goya mass, my friend.
Building new settlements will resume like never before.
It will be like the opening of your Oklahoma territory.
You know full well this will only agitate the already oppressed Palestinian population.
And we will be ready to defend ourselves against their aggressions.
You know the Iron Dome?
Yeah, your defense system, yes.
Well, how about this?
Two Iron Domes.
Two Iron Domes?
Two Iron Domes.
Jimmy, when they launch their inevitable anti-Semitic bottle rockets and helium balloons at us, we will be prepared to respond with lethal missile strikes into civilian targets, as we are completely within our rights to do.
Any prospects for the renewal of any kind of peace process?
Are you out of your mind?
I know.
We retook power with the help of the religious Zionist party, as you said.
We can't turn our backs on them.
It would be a betrayal.
I'm a man of conscience, Jimmy.
I see.
Well, this is all extremely depressing.
Yes, this call got very grim.
How did you spend your time when you were out of office?
Well, I continued my work on my alt country album with Jack White producing from Lacuna.
But not all the tracks are finished yet, and that will just have to wait.
okay.
Well, I see.
Well, if you're back in power, I suppose we'll be hearing from you occasionally again, then, right?
Count on it.
Our enemy, Iran, is funneling weaponry to your enemy, Russia, for their proxy war in Ukraine.
I think you see where this is going.
There's always room for more nationalist ideologues in a messy proxy war, I always say.
Yeah, that sounds really great, but please keep us abreast of your hideous machinations.
You can count on it, my old friend.
B the out.
Wait a minute.
