Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy's President Joe Biden.
Hey, Mr. President, how you doing, pal?
Jimmy, I'll be honest with you.
I have my ups and downs, good days and bad.
Sometimes I find myself in a pretty dark place, to be frank.
I am fortunate knowing that I have a support network that I can turn to.
Wow, that's actually a pretty candid answer.
I gotta say, I appreciate that.
And it has always been a priority of mine to ensure that all Americans have access to mental health care.
And the other day I took measures to achieve that very thing.
Oh, I missed it.
Did you launch some sort of executive mental health initiative or something?
No.
Even better than that, I invited the cast of Ted Lasso to address the White House press corps.
What?
Are you joking?
I know.
Can you believe it?
Ted Lasso, Jimmy.
No.
Ted Lasso.
No, I mean, are you joking, thinking that that was something that was going to help anyone's mental health?
Oh, come on, man.
People love that show.
It's a real up-with-people sort of deal.
Have you seen it?
No.
Yeah, me neither.
You haven't seen Ted Lasso?
No, but my granddaughter says it's great and really funny.
To be fair, I don't watch any TV.
Too busy?
No.
No one will watch it with me because I turn the volume up to maximum and yell, what did he say?
every 60 seconds.
And watching TV alone at my age, people die that way.
But apparently, mental health is a big part of Ted Lasso's whole deal.
So don't worry.
You know, the whole appearance made sense.
If you've seen the show.
Well, putting popular TV characters in front of White House cameras is hardly a mental health initiative, Mr. President.
Well, it's not nothing.
I'd say it's pretty much nothing.
Not nothing.
And honestly, this sort of seems like a ham-fisted stunt designed to distract the press from something unsavory.
Why, whatsoever, could you mean?
Everything my administration is doing right now is extremely savory.
As savory as a Virginia ham.
Is that so?
Yes.
Mr. President, your administration just authorized ICE to resume deportations of Russian nationals who have been seeking asylum in the United States since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Wait, how'd you find out about that?
Yeah.
We got that hushed up in the press in exchange for them getting to meet Ted Lasso and the whole Ted Lasso gang.
Yeah, the article I read was in a British newspaper.
Goddamn limey.
Yeah.
I should have fucking known.
Oh, well.
Well, well, so what?
ICE deporting people seeking asylum who might get killed once they return to their country of origin.
Is that really news anymore?
No, but it should be top news every day until it stops.
Well, Americans have simply gotten used to it like they've gotten used to the dry wit of Ted Lasso.
Do you know how bad this looks for you?
Either you're heartlessly sending Russian men back home to be imprisoned or sent to the front lines as the enemy in a war you are doing everything in your power to support, or yeah, yeah, what's the other one?
Because that one's pretty bad.
Or you are sending them back home because the dangers they would face are overblown and they are overblown to make Russia look bad, like the evil enemy they have to be.
Yeah, that one's not good either.
Yeah, well, which is it?
Mental health.
Oh, give me a break.
Taking a break every now and again is an important part of mental health, actually.
For example, to take in another hilarious episode of Ted Lasso, season three, now streaming on Apple Plus.
I'm done talking about mental health and Ted Lasso, Mr. President.
Which of those two options is it?
Well, maybe a little both, if I'm being honest.
Look, ICE just deports people.
I can't really stop them.
You're the president of the United States.
Yeah, I know, but I think you're giving me a little too much credit here.
So if these boys go back to Russia and Russia kills them, then that's proof of what an evil fucker Putin is.
But if they go back and they get to live, then we get to say, yeah, their lives weren't really in danger at all.
So I didn't qualify for asylum in the U.S. Either way, I'm good.
Wow, you really thought of everything, haven't you, huh?
Absolutely not.
I just thought of that now because I had to because you cornered me.
Jimmy, can we talk about Ted Lasso some more?
No.
No, I'm not talking about Ted Lasso anymore.
Jimmy, that whole thing was now without precedent.
In 1986, the cast of ALF came to the Reagan White House to take questions about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence or SETI.
Because of this occurrence, America began to look to the stars.
Okay, that didn't happen, but thanks for the image.
Yeah, no, it did.
I was there.
It did.
I swear I was.
I remember it clear as day.
The guy who played the dad was drunk.
Is this where you feigned dementia again to get out of the tough questions?
Jerry, believe me, I ain't fainting shit.
But to answer your question, yeah.
Good night and Ted Lasso.
Ha ha ha ha.
Establishment media sets of August fighting.
So good luck.
Bullshit.
We can't afford.
Why is fomenting this?
Whoa.
Watch and see as the jet go from medium speeds and jumps to medium and hits them head on.
It's the Chimitor Show.
There was more Twitter files.
And what's more mind-blowing than the Twitter files revealing government censorship through social media and the collusion between the intelligence community and social media apps?
What's even more shocking than that is the way people are being propagandized to ignore it.
It's unbelievable.
It's a big nothing burger.
It's a big nothing burger.
Oh, He's just cherry-picking.
And it's like, what is wrong with you?
I know what's wrong with them.
They're propagandized because the establishment, they want to censor the Democrat, people who vote for Democrats.
I'm telling you, they enjoy censorship because they think they're censoring their enemies.
That's why.
They think they're censoring Trumpers and MAGA.
That's who they think they're censoring.
But in reality, they're censoring anybody who's against the establishment.
Anybody who has a counter narrative to the establishment, no matter how many awards you've won as a scientist or no matter if you're the leading cardiologist in the country, no matter if you invented the mRNA vaccine technology, you will be censored if you step outside the cult.
And now people are ingesting this.
People are not fighting back against this, and it's becoming part of their mentality.
People who vote Democratic vote Democrat.
I mean, it's a cult.
It is, I know we've said it.
It's not hyperbole.
It is exact cult thinking.
I think we all owe Scientology an apology.
I think we all do.
Is what this is telling me.
No kidding.
They were never this rough.
So let's get to this story.
So I don't want to bury the lead.
So it's come out now that they were censoring true stories about COVID that they knew true facts about COVID that they knew they were true.
Why?
Because it might make people vaccine hesitant and then everybody wouldn't make enough money.
It's exactly what this is about.
It's about corruption and money and criminals and the government colluding with criminals to silence people telling you the truth about criminals.
So Twitter files, number 19, the great COVID-19 lie machine, Stanford, the Virality Project.
Virality?
How do you say that?
Virality?
Virality, the virality, and the censorship of true stories.
So I'm going to get, I don't want, I'm going to explain to you how this is the government doing it in a second, but I don't want to bury the lead.
So there it is.
And here's a great one.
And one remarkable email, so this is the government.
If you see Virality Project, that's the government.
That's the United States government.
It recommends that multiple platforms take action, even against stories of true vaccine side effects and true posts, which could fuel hesitancy.
None of the leaders of this effort to police COVID speech are health experts.
They're probably marketing experts.
Why would they go to health experts?
That's right.
So this really happened.
So here, I'll read this to you, and then I'll set it up until I just want to bury.
They're censoring true stories because the truth.
So they're going to call you a conspiracy theorist.
They're going to call you a nut.
They're going to flag your post.
They're going to censor your post for saying something that's true because it might affect the bottom line of a corporation.
It might cost them some money.
Not that you're lying, not that it's not true.
It just might hurt them.
And what they say is it might make people vaccine hesitant.
You might stumble your brother from the One True Faith.
And the only bad thing about being vaccine hesitant turns out, the only bad thing is that they don't get to profit.
That's really the only bad thing.
So true content.
So this is what they want to censor.
True content, which might promote vaccine hesitancy or stories of true vaccine side effects, true post, which could fuel hesitancy.
So that's what they're doing.
So this isn't about getting rid of crazy people who are spreading conspiracy theories.
This is about true stories that is going to cut into the profit margin of Pfizer and Moderna.
That's what this is about.
It's all about money.
Your government is 100% corrupted.
Your COVID policy was run on corruption.
Your mandates that my friend Graham came on the show and advocated for were being pushed by criminals who were lying to him.
And he ingested that lie and then repeated it uncritically, unskeptically.
Everybody did, not just him.
I did it up until I got vaccine injured.
And then as soon as I looked into COVID, everything I looked into, they were lying about.
They were lying about transmission.
They were lying about natural immunity.
They were lying about herd immunity.
They were lying about side effects.
They were lying about masks.
They were lying about lockdowns.
There was a plan to handle pandemics.
They didn't follow it.
They did everything to make you take vaccines.
The lockdowns were used to make you take vaccines.
They admitted it.
So let's back it up.
So you remember when they had the U.S. Disinformation Governance Board and this mental case, Nina Jankowicz was going to be the head of it.
Remember that?
The real lantern-jawed gal.
Yeah.
Remember the video surfaced of her singing about how much she loves censorship?
Remember that?
Just a spoonful of censorship.
Just a spoonful of censorship.
And she's a legit mental case, but she gets to call herself a disinformation expert.
And you know how you get to be a disinformation expert?
You just write it down in your bio.
That's it.
That's how you become one.
That's it.
I'm a disinformation expert and a queer.
So when they got rid of this, then the United States government started funding a thing called the EID over at Stanford, Stanford.
And here it is.
They're going to tell you.
So now when they got rid of this, because nobody wanted the government doing this, nobody, except some people who vote Democrat.
She is taking donations now for her next project.
So when they got rid of that, when they got rid of this, her and this information, they still had to censor you.
And so they shifted over to Stanford in this thing called EIP, election integrity something.
Let me see.
But here's, they're going to admit that they're doing it.
Watch.
Because of the feedback and the ideas from this group, we were able to pull together pretty quickly a project between these four different institutions to try to fill the gap of the things that the government could not do themselves.
They were going to fill the gap of the censoring that the government couldn't do themselves, except they are the government because they're being funded by the U.S. government.
So they're not not, they're not an NGO.
I mean, they are, but they're being funded by the government.
Is that the old flowchart from before they legalized torture that they had to use to fill the gap?
And here they are.
Can you look up what the EIP at?
Election Integrity Partnership.
Election Integrity Partnership.
What?
Yeah.
So this is, so this is now going over to Stanford, the EIP, Election Integrity Partnership.
And there's government, civil society platforms, and media.
Look at that.
Why are they handling COVID information?
Because the government, it works for big pharma, Kurt.
No, I mean, why is the election integrity thing covering?
Oh, this was about elections.
Watch this.
but then it shifted into COVID.
Oh, good.
So as soon as they got rid of her and that, because everybody freaked out about the government doing disinformation governance board.
Can you sound more Orwellian?
So then they pushed it over to the EIP, election integrity.
What is it?
Partnership?
Part partnership.
And so then they start bragging.
By the way, so it's a coalition of entities.
Yeah, it's on the next one, I think.
So here we go.
The Election Integrity Partnership ended data collection on November 19th, 2020.
And during that time, the partnership processed 639 tickets on election-related miss and disinformation, of which 72% were related to delegitimizing the election results.
Delegitimize.
So anybody who questions election results or integrity is immediately flagged as misinformation.
That's what they're admitting right there.
That's it.
You're not allowed to have that opinion.
Tech platform partners, Twitter, Google, Facebook, and TikTok, responded directly to 75% or more of the tickets in which they were tagged.
A testament to both the high quality of reporting and the value of constructive relationships with the product.
Wow.
So she's bragging that the stuff that they flagged, 75% of it, they took down.
Yeah.
Now people, and you know the best part?
People now trust the government more than ever.
They're doing great.
Platforms.
And although EIP did not make specific enforcement recommendations, because those are the platforms to determine in accordance with its policies, 35% of the URLs flagged were actioned under remove, reduce, or inform policies.
Again, helping contextualize for the public the content that they were seeing.
So they're going to help you because you're too dumb to put into context what information is, and you're going to have assholes like that do it for you.
So that's who's going to do it for you.
That's the kind of person who's going to decide what you're able to handle.
That's like, oh, we can't let regular people read this.
It would break their brains.
Well, how come it didn't break yours?
Well, I'm special.
I can read misinformation, and it doesn't affect me.
But we have to keep it from people it affects.
That's not what's happening.
What's happening is they're keeping accurate information from you because they work for the oligarchy.
And the oligarchy right now wants to make $100 or $200 billion off of selling vaccines.
And go ahead.
Well, so now, like, you're Bill Maher kind of liberal.
They transposed all the radical Islam suicidal maniac that I, you know, we got to blow.
They managed to put that onto half of the people that live here.
So that's why, because this sounds like the exact way they talked when they were, like, renditioning people.
That same bland, like, corporate.
Yes.
I've never heard anybody talk like that where it wasn't the most evil thing.
They're talking about, it's the banality of evil, Kurt.
They're talking about censoring Americans'free speech.
And they're doing it in some, this is how we, this is a spreadsheet, and this is how it works.
And she could be in Germany in the 30s talking about how they contextualized the Jews.
35% of the Jews that we recommended were eventually taken down.
So this is what, so now it's turned into this.
So that was EIP, Election Integrity Partners, has now morphed into this.
It's metastasized into the virality.
It's called the Virality Project from Stanford.
The makers of that big list of words you can't say.
Remember when we covered that?
They came out with a list of words you can't say.
I've already forgotten the words on it.
Me too.
But they're any word, pretty much.
So they actually have a, they have a Twitter account and it says a coalition of research entities focused on detecting and mitigating the impact of false and misleading narratives related to COVID-19 vaccines.
Well, if there's one group I trust to decide what information I can read, it's a coalition of research entities.
And that's, so this, and they're being funded by the government at Stanford and it's called the Virality Project.
And they're there to censor you.
Isn't that what Aleister Crowley contacted in that pyramid?
A coalition of research entities?
I don't know who's, what?
Yeah.
You never heard of him, Aleister Crowley?
No.
Oh, I don't.
Okay.
So here it is.
That's the report.
It's from the Virality Project.
Memes, magnets, and microchips.
What?
That's their, that's their big report.
Nice corporate art too behind it.
Yeah.
Uh, by the way, it's not since, um, so here, look at this.
So after the 2020 election, when EIP was renamed the Virality Project, the Stanford Lab was onboarded to Twitter's J.I.A.R.A.
ticketing system.
Absorbing the government proxy into Twitter infrastructure with the capability of taking in an incredible 50 million tweets a day.
Not since, since MKUltra have we witnessed such synergy between universities and intelligence agencies.
Am I right?
I really like it.
Amazing work, guys.
So.
A 50 million tweets a day.
The Virality Project.
Okay.
So now you can see.
So and then here it is.
Here's in one remarkable email.
There it is.
They said, get rid of, get rid of true stories about COVID.
And it's, and then he writes, Matt Taibbi writes, it's, it's crucial to reiterate EIP was partnered with state entities like CISA and GEC.
Now CISA stands for cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency.
That's what CISA, cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency.
That's a government agency.
Okay.
So they're partnered with a government agency and getting government money.
Okay.
And they're also with the GEC, which is the global engagement center.
That is a, that's a inside the department of state.
Okay.
While seeking elimination of millions of tweets in the Twitter files, Twitter execs did not distinguish between organizations using phrases like, according to CISA, escalated via EIP.
So what the, what he's made, the point he's making is that they didn't make a discern between the EIP, which is supposed to not be a government organization.
And, or, and governmental organizations.
They just, as one entity, that's how they referred to them at Twitter.
And so here it is.
There's, there's their pinned tweet.
They haven't tweeted since like last February.
This virality project, new report, new report, high harm misinformation isn't going away and must be met with a collective response.
Today, virality project releases memes, magnets, and microchips diving into narrative actors, narratives, actors, and people.
and tactics that shaped covet 19 vaccine conversation in 2021 and the irony is they're the liars that the var that they're the government liars they're the tweet anymore and they stop like Ebola.
Like, they're gone too quick.
Matt Taibbi says, we came to think of this grouping state agencies like DHS, FBI, and the Global Engagement Center, along with NGOs that aren't academic and an unexpectedly aggressive partner, commercial news media.
So all these were working together.
The DHS, the FBI, the GEC, and non-academic NGOs and the corporate news media.
That's the military industrial complex, actually.
That's all part of that.
And he calls them the censorship industrial complex.
I guess it's like Lucasfilm is to Disney.
It's like a subdivision.
Oh, okay.
And so we're going to talk more about that on Friday with Aaron Matte, the censorship industrial complex.
That's a great term that they coined.
I think it's great.
I just show you a couple more things real fast.
They were worried about Anthony Fauci's reputation.
So remember when they released Anthony Fauci's emails and it proved him to be a big liar about a lot of things.
I chose not to read them because I didn't know if they came from Russia.
Yeah, maybe Russia got them.
I don't want to know information unless the right people tell me.
And so here they are worrying about Dr. Fauci's reputation.
We want to see it here.
I'll read it to you.
It says, so when they released this emails, they were upset that people were talking about him on Twitter.
And it says, the emails via the Freedom of Information Act has been used to exacerbate distrust in Dr. Fauci and in U.S. public health institutions.
As it should.
Wait, he wasn't hacked.
It was illegal freedom of information.
Wow.
But they don't want people talking about it.
It goes discussion of Fauci's emails also spread in Chinese on Telegram.
And then down here, these networks are keen to foment increased distrust in Fauci's expert guidance and in America's public health officials and institutions.
Yeah, you know why?
Because they don't deserve our trust.
They deserve our distrust, as those emails revealed.
But they don't, this is exactly what always.
Can you, again, someone else said this, but can you ever imagine a time in history when the people doing the censoring were the good guys?
Can you ever point to a time in history when the people doing the censoring turned out to be the people on the right side of history?
No, you can't.
And the right side of history is these people's heaven.
That's right.
And here they are.
And here they are.
This is all about censoring accurate information.
This is about narrative control because if you can't do this, then you have to start disappearing people.
And if you have to start disappearing people, that's a lot harder than doing this.
And they can do this right out in the open.
And now half the country doesn't give a shit because they've been propagandized into thinking this is some kind of hit job on Democrats instead of what it actually is.
And expose into you live in an authoritarian nightmare of a country that is run by in the interest of corporations and big pharma, people pushing experimental medical treatments on you and then shutting up anybody who criticizes them.
And would you want to say something?
Well, let's say, okay, let's say I got caught cheating on my girlfriend because of a freedom of information request.
That could foment increased distrust in me not cheating on my girlfriend.
So it has to be suppressed.
It has to be intercepted by someone.
It must be suppressed.
So I'll go a little bit more.
Reports of vaccinated individuals contracting COVID-19 anyway, natural immunity, and suggesting COVID-19 leaked from a lab, even worrisome jokes.
This is what was being censored.
Worrisome jokes.
Worrisome.
Do you think I'm kidding?
You think I'm kidding?
So here it says this week's top post from a recurring anti-vax influencer on Twitter is by Alex Barringson.
They call him anti-vax.
Now that the guy sued Twitter and won for them censoring him because what he was doing was giving accurate information.
And as I'm showing you, they don't care if it's accurate.
They care what Big Pharma wants them to do.
And so they pretend that this guy, Alex Berenson, is some kind of anti-vaxxer.
Instead of what he is, is a reporter who's showing that you guys are lying.
So they just call him an anti-vaxxer.
So if you tell a truth that Big Pharma doesn't like about vaccines, you're called an anti-vaxxer.
A bunch of these people, a bunch of regular people also know this because they know somebody who something happened to and they said, shut up and don't talk about it.
Yes.
So it's just like, we're just not thinking about that.
Here it is.
Two incidents illustrate this dynamic.
In July 21, White House press secretary Jen Saki announced that the Biden administration would begin focusing on door-to-door community-based vaccine outreach.
This announcement provoked immediate online outrage, including worrisome jokes.
With violent undertones.
With violent undertones that suggested people should respond to official door knockers with hostility, guns, or harassment.
Oh, so because he announced it, people made jokes.
Yes.
People made worrisome jokes.
That's stochastic terrorism.
That is stochastic terrorism.
That is exactly right.
That is words are violence.
This story is important for two reasons.
One, as Orwellian proof of concept, the Virality Project was a smash success.
Government, academia, and oligopoly of would-be corporate competitors organized quickly behind a secret, unified effort to control political messaging.
Two, it accelerated the evolution of digital censorship, moving it from judging truth and untruth to a new, scarier model, openly focused on political narrative at the expense of fact.
So whatever the political narrative was, that was more important than if it was true or not.
It's called propaganda.
Hey, if you don't like China, remember you are China.
In one email, the Twitter VP addressed what it called the vaccine passport narrative, saying concerns over such programs have driven a larger anti-vaccination narrative about the loss of rights and freedoms.
This was framed as a misinformation event.
The fact that people were reporting that vaccine passports are a loss of civil liberties and freedoms, that's considered misinformation on Twitter.
Almost always reportable.
It encouraged platforms to target people, not posts.
Oh, using minority report-style pre-crime logic describing repeat offenders like Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
It spoke of a large volume of content that is almost always reportable.
I can't believe all the to-do to just make a shit list.
Yeah.
You got to have all this preamble to like, we don't like you.
We're not talking about what you're saying.
We don't, you.
You.
That's unbelievable.
VP was repeatedly extravagantly wrong.
In one email to Twitter on misinformation, it spoke of wanting to hone in on an increasingly popular narrative about natural immunity.
Doesn't say fake narrative, does it?
But here's what it says: this week we are able to hone in on an ongoing tactics and themes, including an increasing popular narrative around natural immunity.
So they're honing in on getting rid of that stupid natural immunity popular narrative.
That's what that says.
One more.
So to recap, America's information mission went from counterterrorism abroad to stopping foreign interference from reaching domestic audiences to 80% domestic content, much of which is true.
So that's where we started.
That's what I said.
You know, they started with Alex Jones and we're going after Al-Qaeda and terrorism.
And now it's former president of the United States.
It's the leading scientists in their field.
It's the leading doctors in their field.
It's the leading journalists in their field.
That's where it went.
It started there.
And of course, that's what it always, and that's what I tried to warn them at the Young Turks about as they were screaming that we need more censorship.
And I was like, you know, you guys are on an on, you're an online independent news show.
And if you ever break a story, they're going to censor you, right?
Well, no, no worries because they knew they would never break a story.
Well, can I just say thank you to Radical Islamic Terror for knocking off the terror because we got our hands 80% more full censoring tweets now?
That's a cool event.
So now the censorship is 80% of Americans being censored.
And a lot of that information is accurate and true.
And so, yeah.
Well, I mean, remember that collateral murder video that was why Julian Assange that one, yeah.
Which that was true, but that was a state secret.
Julian Assange is not in prison for telling lies.
He's in prison for telling the truth about the government.
Really, someone told him like a journalist, and then he told it.
Yeah, someone gave him some information and then he published it, which is what journalists do.
And that fomented people in the Middle East who we invaded to hate us.
To hate us.
Not us killing them.
They really changed their opinion when they saw that.
So we're going to talk more.
I mean, I don't want to not talk about this.
I want to talk about it more.
And so we're going to talk about it more on Friday about the censorship industrial complex.
And the fact that it's not on the front page of the New York Times or it doesn't lead the news at MSNBC or CNN means to most people in the country, it's not a story because the media owned by the people we're exposing doesn't want you to think it's a story.
And when I say we're exposing, I mean they're exposing.
That's what they don't want.
They don't want you to think it's a story.
And if Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper say it's not a story, then it's not a story.
So what?
Nothing even happened.

Hey, did you hear they indicted Putin?
Finally.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
What are they waiting for?
I don't know.
It's crazy.
International Criminal Court issues arrest warrants for Putin and other Russian officials.
Maybe they're waiting to see if it's canceled.
Maybe.
Ah, Sarah says, hey, the International Criminal Court, that's what the ICC stands for, has issued an arrest warrant against Putin for war crimes in Ukraine.
When will the ICC issue an arrest warrant against Obama for war crimes in Libya, Syria, and Yemen, or against Bush for murdering over a billion innocent in Iraq?
See, that's the obvious retort to that.
And she did it well, so I'm showing it to you.
But even that, okay, I could go, well, that's just different than the thing that's crazy is not even in that tweet.
The part I can't get past is that we're not in it.
So that's the whole thing.
So the crazy thing is we don't even participate in this thing because here, show Jonathan Cook here.
After the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Putin, it's only right for Russia to threaten to arrest its judges and seize their what?
Their funds, you know, like the United States did when the ICC tried to investigate war crimes in Afghanistan.
We should be consistent, shouldn't we?
Because that's what the United States did when the ICC wanted to investigate the United States for war crimes.
U.S. threatens to arrest the judges.
Sounds like shit Trump would do.
No, that's just what the United States does.
I know this gets better, but I knew that we didn't belong to that court.
But I didn't realize how much we don't belong to it.
I love that.
There it is.
U.S. threatens to arrest the ICC judges if they pursue Americans for Afghanistan.
So these are the conversations I would have with people who would try to tell me that Putin is a special kind of a thug.
I'm like, you guys are just repeating propaganda.
Look, I don't like Putin at all, but I will say we owe Saddam Hussein an apology.
Now that the ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Putin, it's worth recalling that in 2002, the United States signed the Hague Invasion Act into law.
What is the Hague Invasion Act?
The law states that if any U.S. or U.S. allied official is charged with war crimes at the International Criminal Court, the United States can use military force to free them.
And it's called the Hague Invasion Act.
Boy, we didn't even bother trying to give it a nice sounding fake name like the Patriot Act.
Even when we illegally invaded Iraq, we didn't call it the Operation Invade Iraq.
It was Iraqi freedom.
That's freedom is what you should call it.
That's what we should call it.
We should call it the Hague Invade, the Hague Freedom Act.
Can you imagine calling it?
It's the Iraqi Invasion Act.
What?
You couldn't possibly think less.
And so there it is.
So this is how much we respect the ICC court.
A new law supposedly protecting U.S. service members from international criminal court shows that the Bush administration will stop at nothing in its campaign against the court.
George Bush today signing the law, the American Service Members Protection Act of 2002, which is intended to intimidate countries that ratify the treaty for the International Criminal Court.
The new law authorizes The use of military force to liberate any American or citizen of the United States allied country being held by the court, which is located in The Hague.
The provision dubbed the Hague Invasion Clause has caused a strong reaction from U.S. allies around the world, particularly in the Netherlands, eh?
Oh, yeah.
It wasn't that strong a reaction.
It wasn't that strong.
It didn't go anywhere.
So here, Washington has never accepted accountability for its wars and its interventions and tries to demonize all those who resist.
So some people would call what we're doing right now, Kurt, whataboutism?
Yeah.
No, this is just showing the ridiculous.
So just like when they're bending over backwards to try to indict Donald Trump while every one of our presidents are war criminals, it just shows you that the law is not actually there to keep us all safe.
It's there as a tool of the oligarchs to punish and keep people in line.
I love the idea of what when BLM was happening, all these Democrats wore Kente cloth and all that shit.
That's right.
America's the world cop, right?
Yep.
And then we want to arrest someone like, hey, that cop's corrupt.
That's what about ism.
It's the same principle.
It's not.
No, it's just about that.
That's right.
No, what it does reveals why this is a sham.
Don't talk about how the cops are brutal.
So this guy says, Tim Anderson says Washington has never accepted accountability for its wars and interventions and tries to demonize all those who resist.
To this day, it trolls its trolls try to claim that the invasion of Iraq was not a great crime, but rather a mistake based on good intentions.
I'm sure that matters if you're blown up.
Right?
It doesn't matter.
Well, the International Criminal Court is troubling to the United States.
It's troubling to the administration, obviously trouble with the United States Senate as well.
President Clinton signed this treaty, but when he signed it, he said it should not be submitted to the Senate.
Therefore, it never has been, and I don't intend to submit it either.
Because it, you know, as the United States works to bring peace around the world, our diplomats and or soldiers could be drug into this court.
That's very troubling, very troubling to me.
And we'll try to work out the impasse of the United Nations, but one thing we're not going to do is sell them on to the International Criminal Court.
One thing we're not going to do.
See, because our soldiers could be drug.
They could be drug into that court.
He said drug.
They could be drugged into that court.
He said it.
We got to drug them out.
They say Trump's the moron.
He didn't start a new war.
He didn't drug anybody in.
Wow.
Our mission of bringing peace to the world.
That's what he said.
He said, you know, some of our soldiers on our, you know, as we try to bring peace to the world.
Great job.
Great job.
Remember what everyone, yeah.
Our real mission is bringing irony to the world, Kurt.
So even John Bolton got in the act.
Remember, in 2018, John Bolton threatened sanctions against the International Criminal Court judges if they proceeded with an investigation into alleged war crimes committed by U.S. forces in Afghanistan.
Watch this.
The United States will use any means necessary to protect our citizens and those of our allies from unjust prosecution by this illegitimate court.
We will not cooperate with the ICC.
We will provide no assistance to the ICC.
And they certainly will not join the ICC.
The ICC, John Holton today, said that the administration would sanction the International Criminal Court, which is a move that seems to be a reversion to sort of push-era policies.
Is it fair to say that this administration is now shifting toward a more hardline stance toward the ICC?
And if in fact it is so feckless, then why is the U.S. so concerned?
Certainly, the president is committed to defending our national sovereignty and all of our security interests, which would include using any means necessary to protect our citizens, those of our allies from unjust prosecution by the ICC.
Their announcement that they would consider opening an investigation into, among other parties, U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan is a threat to American sovereignty.
And if they proceed with that, then the United States would consider those options that Ambassador Bolton laid out.
The United States will use any means necessary.
I like that strong words from Johnny Bolton right there.
That's why they call him the Malcolm X of White Empire.
Put a fist up, Jimmy.
Any means necessary.
That's also why that court only prosecutes Africans.
The only people they can get is African.
Really?
That's the only people that the ICC has prosecuted.
Well, now they're going to try and get Putin, but Putin...
The irony is that, well, let's go.
Let's get into this.
So you know what they're officially charging him with is kidnapping and unlawful deportation of Ukrainian children as well as teenagers.
Well, why do you think he's getting kids and teenagers out of a war zone?
Why do you think that that would happen?
He's brainwashing them, probably.
Oh, that's probably what he's doing, Kurt.
According to a report published last month by Conflict Observatory, a program supported by the U.S. State Department.
Oh, no shit.
Moscow is accused.
So according to this propaganda outfit that's funded by the United States war machine, Moscow is accused of systematically relocating at least 6,000 children from Ukraine to Russia.
Yeah.
And the report further claims many of these children were then taken to camps or other facilities where they received so-called pro-Russian re-education.
Some such facilities are said to be used to foster care or adoption in Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Moscow annexed in 2014 after a violent U.S.-backed coup in Kiev.
Moscow has been working to evacuate residents from Russia-controlled areas and elsewhere in Ukraine throughout the war, including during the lead up to the invasion when Kiev massively escalated its shelling of the Donbass.
So they're not upset that Ukraine and the Nazis were shelling those children.
They're upset that Putin is getting those children out of the shelling area.
That's what they're charging him with.
For Russian re-education.
They already spoke Russian.
They already speak Russian.
According to the UN, Kiev's war against the breakaway republics, which preceded Moscow's invasion, resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians.
Russia is accused, however, of carrying out forced deportations or the forcible transfer of civilian populations from occupied land, which is outlawed by the Rome statute, which established the ICC.
You mean that thing that the United States doesn't participate in and has already condemned and said that we'll blow it up if they ever try to do that against us.
So right here, neither Russia, Ukraine, nor the United States are party to this.
So is this connected to way back when we renditioned a guy out of Italy and they wanted to bring that's what they want to bring in for the ICC for the CIA kidnapping somebody for rendition that we tortured.
Later, it turned out they weren't a terrorist, by the way.
I think that's what has to do with I Bet You Rome statute.
I thought that's where that was.
They got him out of Rome.
So, the irony is that because so now Putin is supposed to be arrested in any of the countries that subscribe to the International Criminal Court.
So, he can't go to those countries because he's supposed to be arrested.
The irony is he could come to the United States because we don't participate in it.
He can hide out in America.
He could hide out in America.
What about is him?
When the ICC accuses Russia of kidnapping children from the Donbass, remember that these are the kids they are talking about.
Children that Ukrainian leadership has gleefully talked of terrorizing and killing.
Putin's alleged war crime is rescuing them from these monsters.
Do you remember this?
children will go to school and their children will sit in basements.
They're bombing them.
That's what this is.
And again, so no one's going to the ICC for bombing them.
No one's going to the criminal court for killing them.
They're now indicting Putin for trying to save them.
They're now indicting Putin for trying to save them.
This is what Ukraine did to Donbass.
This is what they did to those kids where they lived.
That's what the Nazis in Ukraine did to the Donbass for eight straight years.
That's what this is.
That's what this is.
Yeah, so the nice people of Ukraine is what they did to the children.
I don't mean the Ukrainian people, I mean the government.
And the Nazis.
The people who give them a gift.
And they say this is a gift for the fact that you are destroying separatists.
Here they are separatists, they are living in a trap.
Here is a trap of a woman.
Here is a trap of her daughter.
Here is a trap of separatists.
So this guy's bragging about how they're killing these people, right?
That's what's happening.
I don't understand it's the Russia re-education.
Donbass is where they're into Russia.
These are their separatists.
Yeah.
So let's see.
No, he's mad about it.
He's mad about it.
Okay.
So on March 17th, 2023, the ICC issued a warrant of arrest for Putin over the unlawful deportation of children from Ukraine.
It's comedy.
Has the ICC forgotten Operation Babylift?
In April 1975, over 3,000 Vietnamese children were flown out of Vietnam to be adopted by families in the United States and Australia.
You remember this?
Including Australia, that the international community should be doing something about the orphans in Saigon.
The United States then made an announcement.
I have directed that money from a $2 million special foreign aid children's fund be made available to fly 2,000 South Vietnamese orphans to the United States as soon as possible.
President Ford's approval of the American baby lifts changed the political climate overnight.
The Americans started airlifting lots of orphans to the United States, seemingly without any problem.
Australian couples in Australia were demanding of the government.
You know, why is it that the Americans can do these things so easily?
Yet we don't seem to be able to do that.
With the Americans setting the pace, the Australian government followed.
What appeared to be the political acceptable solution from Canberra was we'll bring back a whole group of orphans and we will be seen to be acting humanitarianly and we will get a lot of the critics off our back who are saying that we're not doing enough.
We are proceeding as quickly as we can with preparations for evacuation.
Okay.
So yet the ICC president told Al Jazeera that he feels this is completely irrelevant.
He added the court has jurisdiction over crimes committed in the territory of a state party or a state which has accepted its jurisdiction.
Ukraine has accepted the ICC's jurisdiction twice.
The ICC has no police force or any way in which to carry out its arrests.
When asked if Putin should be arrested, the head of the ICC claimed state parties have a legal obligation to arrest a person in respect to arrest warrants issued.
Oh, you know what?
This is so Donbass was trying to be separatist, right?
Yeah.
This is a way to say, no, it's definitely part of Ukraine.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
That's what this is.
Because I was like, they have no power to do anything.
But Donbass has declared themselves independent from Ukraine.
And Russia recognized that.
It's like Rukka.
Go ahead.
I didn't see anything.
Was there anything that were like parents of these kids?
Like, oh, they took our kids.
I haven't seen anything if there is.
Remember Laura Silsby in Haiti?
The ones that Clinton's helped out that was working with that charity to help orphans after the earthquakes.
She got arrested in Haiti.
Oh, really?
Yeah, because the orphans they were taking, it turned out, were not orphans.
They had parents who were like, why did they take it?
Yeah, and it was a big thing.
And now she works for Ember Alert.
No.
After they got her off, yeah.
She also said the court's decision has no meaning for our country, including from a legal point of view, the Kremlin spokesperson said and called the warrants null and void.
Russia's response is not surprising as Washington does not recognize the court either.
For instance, in 2002, George W. Bush signed into law a piece of into law, a piece of bipartisan legislation called the American Service Members Protection Act.
The law, informally known as the Hague Invasion Act, allows the president to order military action against the Netherlands, a fellow founding member of NATO, to protect U.S. soldiers and officials accused of war crimes from ever being prosecuted or taken into custody by the ICC.
During the Donald Trump administration, the U.S. sanctioned ICC officials for attempting to investigate American war crimes committed in Afghanistan.
Former Secretary Kui, former Secretary of State, blah, blah, blah.
In 2021, the Joe Biden administration lifted those sanctions, but railed against the ICC's efforts to look into war crimes committed by U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, as well as the massacre of thousands of civilians perpetrated by Israeli forces against Palestinians in the bazized Gaza Strip,
the timing of the arrest warrants for Putin may stifle potential Chinese brokered peace negotiations, which could begin soon as President Xi Jinping is set to meet separately with Putin and Ukrainian President Voldemort Zelensky during the coming weeks.
Maybe China is going to promise Zelensky protection if he actually does a peace deal.
Maybe that's what will happen.
Maybe Russia and China will convince him.
Your only way is to go with us, do a peace deal, and then let us protect you because the Nazis are going to kill you.
And look what happened to anybody who works with the United States.
The International Criminal Court's arrest warrant against Vladimir Putin should worry Jerusalem.
Putin is accused of violating prohibitions set in international laws of occupation.
exact crime he is accused of is a sibling crime of the crime of settlements.
Um...
Thank you.
Russia defies Putin arrest warrant by opening its own case against the ICC.
So I don't know.
Again, this is just more propaganda.
This is just more.
And it's why now?
Why do it now?
Where they were just waiting to a time to distract people from all the stuff that's going on?
Well, the peace deal thing.
I don't know how does that stop them from doing that peace.
I don't know how it stops them from doing a peace deal either.
It is like I can see it reaffirming.
Because the thing of taking these orphans to it's being occupied by Russian soldiers, right?
Donboss right now?
So that's a war zone.
It's a war zone.
So why would you want to keep those kids in a war zone?
Well, this is the news you're not going to see on CNN, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post.
You might see it on Tucker Carlson.
But you're not going to see it anywhere else in the corporate news.
And the reason why you'll see that Tucker Carlson, because ironically, they gave him freedom when they scared all his advertisers away.
And so now the number one news show in America doesn't have mainstream news.
It doesn't have mainstream advertisers, but it still is the number one news show in America.
The New York Times Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, this is Jake Tamper.
From the lead.
From the no, from the lead with Jake Camper on CNN.
The lead?
Yeah, the lead with Jake Tamper on CNN.
I know, Jake.
I'm just playing.
Oh, right, right.
Sometimes I forget that I'm talking to a comedian, a mistake that I make in my own peril.
If I describe the shirt I'm wearing, would you call it gay in some way?
No, Jake.
I'm a nightclub comedian, but not that kind.
Don't worry.
Oh, no.
That was a request I was making of you.
Okay, let's move on.
What's on your mind, Jake?
Well, first of all, my show, The Lead with Jake Tamper on CNN, just turned 10 years old.
I couldn't be a prouder papa.
Well, that's very impressive, Jake.
Most cable news shows don't last that long.
Don't I know it?
Yeah.
And you know, it's almost harder to believe that we spent nearly eight of those 10 years covering Donald Trump.
And we still are, don't you know?
Yeah, I'm sure you are.
Got to make the money.
Get those ratings.
Go on and go it, brother.
Hustling for it every day.
Oh, you meant that as a bad thing.
Yes.
Whatever.
Well, we have to, especially now when we are perhaps on the verge of the arrest of a former president of the United States.
Jimmy, this is truly unprecedented.
Yeah, they're going to get him this time for sure.
Do you really mean that, really?
No.
God damn it.
Don't do that to me, Jimmy.
Ow!
Easy.
Are you okay?
No, I'm in a lot of fucking pain, okay?
So don't tease me like that, please.
Pain.
You mean physical pain?
I'm sorry.
I don't see how those two things are connected.
Jimmy, do you know what edging is?
Jesus.
Edging?
Yes.
How do I say this delicately?
It's a sexual practice whereby climax is purposely delayed and delayed after a long period of arousal and stimulation.
Okay.
But it gets to a point where physical pain can be induced by the lack of climax.
Okay, I think I know what you're talking about.
And we have been on the verge of getting Trump for years now.
I know.
Russia gate, Stormy Daniels, Cohen, impeachment, January 6th.
More Russia.
Another impeachment.
Documents at his house.
Now more Stormy Daniels.
Jimmy, I can't take it anymore.
I think parts of me are shutting down.
We've all been waiting for that footage of a Trump perp walk for so long that if it finally did happen, it would blow a hole in the side of the CNN building.
So you're saying...
Right, I got it.
And it's getting bad, Jimmy.
I'm literally sitting in an ice bath right now, like in serious pain.
But other guys have it even worse.
Don Lemon's in a wheelchair.
Oh, my goodness.
Anderson Cooper got like an epidural.
Jesus.
They're kind of not telling us details about that one.
So, yeah.
You see how that was kind of mean of you to tease me like that?
Yeah, I get it now.
I'm so sorry, Jake.
That's okay.
I can't stay mad at you, Jimmy.
You can understand this.
This whole, oh, any minute now, he's going to be arrested.
All that bullshit's really exacerbating the problem.
Because, of course, we have to have all our legal experts come on and tell us what would happen if Trump were arrested, how it would go down.
Do you think he'd resist in such pornographic detail that at this point, I have to bite down on a leather strap when the camera's not on me?
That sounds horrible, Jake.
It is.
I need this to be over.
At this point, I can't believe this, but I beg you, just leave him alone.
Quit going after him.
The Stormy Daniels thing is the best you got.
This is pathetic.
Just stop mentioning it so I can sleep in peace.
Right.
That's why we never really talk about Trump on our show like this.
Oh, you get to not talk about Trump?
Yeah, Jake.
I have the luxury of talking about real things that my viewers care about and not pandering to ratings.
Oh, man.
That sounds so nice.
It is.
I know you must be jealous, so I'll be gentle with you from here on out.
But I mean, especially since I know about your condition.
Thank you, Jimmy.
I do appreciate it.
So, so nothing's gonna happen, right?
No, Trump is never going to jail.
Okay, okay, okay.
Oh, my God.
Holy shit.
What it's on Twitter.
What's on Twitter?
I never thought it would happen.
I never did, but there it is.
I'm looking right at it right now.
Oh, my God.
This is it.
Finally, sweet release.
Oh, is it a video?
Yes, it's a video of a German shepherd who has adopted a baby duckling as one of her puppies.
She's taking care of her.
It's one of her own.
It's the cutest thing I've ever seen, Jake.
Ah, you filthy fucking son of a bitch.
How dare you?
All right, I have to go to the hospital now.
I will get you for this.
