Time Text
Hey, come see us on tour.
We're going to be in Tampa, Boca Raton, Orlando, Dallas, Houston, San Diego, Bloomington, Illinois, Indianapolis, and Lebittown, New York.
Wow, that's a lot of dates.
See you there.
Hey, this is the Jimmy Dore show.
Craig is sitting in for Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hello?
This is Senator Mitt Romney of Utah.
This is Craig, you say?
Yeah, this is Craig Pasta Jardoula, sitting in for Jimmy Dore.
Oh, of course.
Yes, Craig Pasta Jardoula.
I've always been a fan of your work.
It's a pleasure to talk to you.
Wow, really?
You have?
Well, no, I have no idea who you are, but that seemed like the polite thing to say.
I see.
Well, thanks for just thanks just the same.
Why are you calling in today, Senator?
Well, Pasta, I am calling to announce my retirement from the Senate.
Or to be more precise, I will not be running for re-election in 2024.
I am up out this bee, as they say in more gauche and unlettered segments of society.
Well, I already knew that.
Didn't you announce like a week ago?
Well, I did, but I know many of Jimmy's viewers don't pay attention to the mainstream media, so I wanted to cover all my bases.
I want everyone out there to know I am up out this bitch like a motherfucker.
What prompt us this sudden decision?
Well, first of all, I'm 76 years old.
That's simply too old to run for another Senate term.
And unlike some people I could name, I fully understand the need to step down at a certain age and let a new generation of leadership take the reins.
It doesn't matter that I am healthier and stronger than many people half my age due to some bizarre Mormon genetic superiority that no one ever talks about.
But nevertheless, I would like to enjoy the remaining 30 or 40 years I have left in retirement, away from politics.
And let me tell you, Pasta, U.S. politics nowadays ages you more than an occasional can of Diet Coke does.
I see.
Thank you.
But also, I mean, come on, look around.
The whole thing has become a clown show.
It's embarrassing.
What do you mean?
Well, my party, which would be the Republican Party, has been taken over by Trump maniacs who, quite frankly, have been quite rude to me.
They don't like me one bit, and honestly, I'm sick of walking down the halls of Congress only to discover that I have a kick-me sign tape to the back, or getting prank called in my office where I'm on the phone for 20 minutes before I realize, wait a minute, there's no Congressman buttnut from Rhode Island.
No, I don't believe there is, Senator.
Well, since I said it, that's how you know it.
And the Democrats are no better.
They think as long as they're anti-Trump, they can get away with anything.
Just all sorts of funny business.
Quite frankly, they've all sunk into a moral sewer.
It's just not like the good old days.
You mean like in 2003 when Democrats and Republicans came together to vote for the Iraq war?
Exactly.
Back then, we could reach across the aisle to actually accomplish unfathomably destructive things.
And my decision was validated recently when they decided to get rid of the dress code for the Senate.
That was the last straw for me.
The last shred of decency in our government.
At least we had the dignity to all look like corporate robots.
I see.
Obviously, the ladies have been pushing the envelope for a while now.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to work with Kirsten Cinema while she's dressed like Elton John or some shit.
But now the men?
And just to accommodate this John Fetterman clown with his cargo shorts and hoodies, give me a break.
Why?
Because he's sad?
I mean, if I could stroll into the Senate wearing a casual dinner jacket, a button-down Oxford with no tie, and my comfortable Cole Hans like some sort of goodtime Charlie, I would.
But I'm saving slumming until my retirement.
Thank you very much.
So what are you going to do with the remaining time in the Senate?
Not a goddamn thing, honestly.
I mean, why would I?
I'm going to be the lamest of ducks.
Probably just continue to take pot shots at every politician I can think of and cast votes designed to drive other Republicans crazy.
I can't wait.
I'm going to go full Joker mode.
Why so serious?
It appears that everyone announcing their intention to run for your seat are far-right Republicans, like MAGA types.
Doesn't it concern you that they're just abdicating your seat to another such senator?
Pasta, there's an old Mormon saying, a morning irritation may be the most voluminous of the day, but it's not enough to piss out a prairie fire.
If this country's going to hell in a handbasket, there's not really much I can or cannot do to prevent it.
Well, will you have any final words before your departure, Mr. Senator?
Yes, I will give a speech on the Senate floor calling everyone out as a sad, cowardly bitch who deserves it.
GOP and Democrat alike.
Either that or bitch-ass pussies.
I haven't decided yet.
Then I will throw all of them the double bird, march into the Senate men's room, and leave the biggest upper decker, the lifes of which has never been seen by man or God.
Wow, that will be quite impressive.
Any plans for your retirement?
Yes, I will start work on my memoir tentatively entitled Mitt Don't Take No Shit.
Probably acquire one or more sister wives.
It's time.
And play with my grandchildren.
Wow, that sounds nice.
Well, thanks for talking to us, Senator.
Fuck you, the horse you rode in on, and your own mother.
I regret writing that line right now.
I hope you get bitch slapped by a donkey tick while having a train run on you by a bunch of neo-Nazi prison escapees, you cock-sucking, bald-tickling fuckwagon.
What?
What the hell?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's a long-running joke with me and Jimmy.
I end the call saying something unbelievably obscene.
We've been doing it for years now, but I realize nobody gave you a heads up.
My deepest apologies.
I meant none of that.
Oh, okay.
Again, very sorry.
Have a great day, gentlemen.
Ha ha!
Establishment media sucks, all gaslighting, so good luck Bullshit we can't afford, he's fomenting this Oh-oh-oh-oh Watch and see as a jackdog comedian speeds and jumps comedium and hit some head-on.
It's the Jimmy Tor show.
Let me just say this much right now.
Until we get more information on this, we don't know what's what, but it does all seem awfully fishy and suspicious for what's going on.
Our man, Russell Brand is here, and he got a little accusations over the weekend.
He made an announcement on Friday after the show.
Take a listen to what he has to say, and we'll unpack it from here.
Hello there, you awakening wonders.
Now, this isn't the usual type of video we make on this channel where we critique, attack, and undermine the news in all its corruption, because in this story, I am the news.
I've received two extremely disturbing letters or a letter and an email, one from a mainstream media TV company, one from a newspaper listing a litany of extremely egregious and aggressive attacks, as well as some pretty stupid stuff like my community festival should be stopped, that I shouldn't be able to attack mainstream media narratives on this channel.
But amidst this litany of astonishing, rather baroque attacks are some very serious allegations that I absolutely refute.
These allegations pertain to the time when I was working in the mainstream, when I was in the newspapers all the time, when I was in the movies, and as I've written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous.
Now, during that time of promiscuity, the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual.
I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent.
And I'm being transparent about it now as well.
And to see that transparency metastasized into something criminal that I absolutely deny makes me question: is there another agenda at play?
Particularly when we've seen coordinated media attacks before, like with Joe Rogan, when he dared to take a medicine that the mainstream media didn't approve of.
And we saw a spate of headlines from media outlets across the world using the same language.
I'm aware that you guys have been saying in the comments for a while, watch out, Russell.
They're coming for you.
You're getting too close to the truth.
Russell Brand did not kill himself.
I know that a year ago, there was a spate of articles.
Russell Brand's a conspiracy theorist.
Russell Brand's right wing.
I'm aware of news media making phone calls, sending letters to people I know for ages and ages.
It's been clear to me, or at least it feels to me like there's a serious and concerted agenda to control these kinds of spaces and these kind of voices.
And I mean, my voice along with your voice.
I don't mind them using my books and my stand-up to talk about my promiscuous, consensual conduct in the past.
What I seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations.
Also, it's worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack.
Now, I don't want to get into this any further because of the serious nature of the allegations, but I feel like I'm being attacked.
And plainly, they are working very closely together.
We are obviously going to look into this matter because it's very, very serious.
In the meantime, I want you to stay close, stay awake, but more important than any of that, if you can, please stay free.
So, Kurt, I'm going to let you dive right into it right now because why don't you dive into it?
Well, I'm going to say how you feel first.
Oh, you want me to see?
All right.
Well, we don't know yet, right?
Listen, it does seem awfully suspicious that as he's starting to gain popularity, push back against the establishment.
We've seen these attacks before.
Julian Assange, and then they dropped him right away.
You know, Amanda Heard, we were talking about this with Johnny Debbie.
Amber Heard.
Yeah.
Well, Amber Heard.
Amber Heard, Amanda.
Amber.
I'm glad you're here to correct me because I always get the names wrong.
Amber Heard.
Okay, if it's being said on Channel 4 and English media and British media, one, it's probably a lie.
Just first and foremost.
Secondly, as soon as you do the trick where you go, he said it in the thing, in his thing, where there's two, like one or two very, very serious crimes, and then a whole bunch of nonsense puffed around it.
I'm out.
I've seen them do this over and over.
In fact, I went through the wrangle with the media.
I already know what they do.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say it's bullshit.
Yeah, it is.
Listen, the one thing that we have to do consider, though, is he talked about his drug usage for a while.
Remember that quote in the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?
He says, you might be able to turn your back on somebody, but never turn your back on a drug, right?
So we understand how drug usage can get way out of whack.
You know what kind of people do drugs?
The kind of people that would do a concerted, like some media, like the Midas Touch, the ones that did Rogan.
They got that old clip that Alex Jones made.
Alex Jones made that because he was mad at Rogan.
They dug it up.
It was like an audition to be used for other political ops.
Politics Girl, I think, is one of their stupid channels.
As these three brothers look like the Jonas brothers.
I mean, they are real scumbags.
He hasn't been arrested, has he?
No.
No.
So this is nothing.
Nothing criminal.
Amber Heard killed.
Listen, do it all you want if you want to media, but Amber Heard killed that.
It's not even Amber Heard's fault.
The media had an option to go like they did with Biden when they really looked into those accusations and decided there was nothing to it.
Surely they could look at the Amber Hurt case and see, wow, even in a court of law, it was obvious what the truth was.
No, stuck with it.
Now is the time to believe Amber Heard more than ever.
That's a British headline I read not long after the Amber Heard settlement.
So it's not a matter of believing women.
You ain't going to talk to any of these women.
Do you believe the media who talked to them for you and they're passing along what they said?
No, no, I don't.
Like I said, it seems, it smells awfully suspicious, but you know, we have to just wait until things, I guess, play out or do you find out what's going on?
Bullshit.
You put my bet down on bullshit right now.
There are reasons and why they want to smear this guy.
And the thing that's really upsetting to me, Kurt, more than anything is seeing some of those lefty progressive shitlibs, whatever you want to call them nowadays, going after Russell Brand, but still supporting Joe Biden, right?
And Joe Biden, his daughter wrote in his diary that she used to take showers with him when she was 14 years old.
There doesn't data that doesn't go by that we don't see him sniffing somebody's neck.
They don't know.
So the hypocrisy.
They don't even know about any of that.
They don't even know.
Every time I bastard my friend, they go, oh, that laptop wasn't fake.
That's the vague answer you get back.
Nobody's paying attention to anything.
They also didn't pay attention to each show.
One of the charges, by the way, does this sound familiar?
Was he didn't wear a condom?
Yeah.
The Julian Assange.
Julian Assange.
Yeah, yes.
It stinks.
But we'll just see.
It'll play itself out.
The text message has been altered.
Yeah.
We saw that too as well.
Like I said, it stinks.
And all of a sudden, out of the blue, out of nowhere, it comes.
It might have been coming because of reasons like this.
Listen to this here.
John, I've not known you long, but I love you already.
But I have to say that it's disingenuous to claim that the biases that are exhibited on Fox News are any different from the biases exhibited on MSNBC.
It's difficult to suggest that's.
And that is, once again, the establishment that cracking their narrative more than anything is the fact that, you know, it's one team.
It's a uniparty.
They're all playing together.
This is the rhetoric that's got him in some hot soup.
It just takes one or two really wealthy, influential people to not like you.
And you could be their pet thing and they'll fund a thing to fund a thing.
To get rid of you.
To smear you.
That's at the high level.
At the low level.
Let's say the lowest levels of comedy.
He was a stand-up, right?
So the lowest levels of comedy.
We should see how backbiting some of these open micers are to each other.
No, I can understand.
They have full-on political assaults on each other online to fight over whatever the spots they're trying to get.
It's unbelievable what they get into.
It's like real.
But the high levels do the same thing.
It's just you do a more sophisticated game because you own a newspaper.
Yes.
Well, the thing about it is right now, no matter what, it's not going to be as effective.
If they're just trying to smear him and trying to frame him, it's not going to be as effective because so many times.
You overplayed the card.
They made me too, me nothing because they've just constantly hit that drum.
But these are the reasons why.
I got two clips.
Take a listen.
Let's finish it on up.
But these corporations operate as anything other than mouthpieces for their affiliate owners in BlackRock and Vanguard.
And unless we start to embrace.
And also, mate, like just spiritually, if I may use that word in your great country, we have to take responsibility for our own perspective.
I've been on that MSNBC, mate.
It was propagandist nutcrackery on there.
I went on a show called Morning Joe.
It was absurd the way they carried on.
Good Morning Joe.
Yeah, I don't know what it was.
It wasn't morning.
There was no one called Joe there.
No one could concentrate.
They didn't understand the basic tenets of journalism.
No one was willing to stick up for genuine American heroes.
Did you see that interview, by the way, with Misha there?
Joe Scarborough wasn't there that day.
Misha act like an idiot.
It was embarrassing.
Misha?
Mika.
Mika.
Mike is a Mika.
See, I am terrible with names.
As soon as the camera rolls, vowels and letters go out the window.
Morning Joe.
Like Edward Snowden.
No one was willing to talk about Julian Assange and what he suffered trying to bring real journalism to the American people.
And I think to sit within the castle of MSNBC throwing rocks at Fox News is ludicrous.
My friend.
Make MSNBC better.
Make MSNBC great again.
My friend.
I would love.
The moment.
Why is it on a territory you can win on Joe?
Right, Russell.
Russell, darling.
The moment that you give me a specific example, an actual example.
Okay, I'll give you one.
Mike, just wait.
Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, wait.
I don't know.
Just a specific example.
I don't know.
Let me tell you what the specific example I'd like to hear of.
I'd like to hear a specific example, approval specific example of an MSNBC correspondent or anchor being on television saying something they knew was false and were saying behind the scenes to people, this is, I'm about to go out and we know that we know that the election wasn't stolen.
You didn't trace this example.
But I will go out on television and say the opposite.
I will lie.
When's my answer?
Just give me a specific example.
I understand the basic part.
Give me a specific example.
All right.
I'm with you.
I think it's a false equivalency, Russell.
It's a false equivalency.
Of course he thinks it's a false equivalency.
People.
But this right here, this narrative that he's smashing right here, this is dangerous to the establishment.
You know why?
They don't want this.
Do you know why?
Because the audience, Bill Maher's audience, Bill Maher and people famously say he's the worst audience, right?
I went once.
No, but of what they boo and ugh.
Yeah, yeah.
They're very shitlibby.
Okay.
You heard them applauding him.
Yeah.
So they all know Julian Assange should be out.
It's just not on their mind because they're loaded with other crap all day.
So he was very charmingly taking the crowd.
That's very dangerous.
Yeah.
His show they tried to get off multiple times.
Same thing as Rogan's show.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And he also fingered BlackRock and Vanguard, something that's really like they hate, right?
Those are the top of the head, right?
That's the head of the Hydra.
I think saying finger is a little insensitive in those accusations, but okay.
Let's finish off because he throws the example of how Fox News and MSNBC are the same shit.
I mean, I think Fox News is better than MSNBC nowadays because it's so nauseating in MSNBC what they're talking about nowadays.
The oh my God factor they throw in there.
Well, I never thought I would have to go to Fox to hear about any reporting other than Trump.
Yeah.
Or go Ukraine.
Like that's all you get from MSNBC.
That's it.
I'm going to go see Titus in a couple weeks too, by the way.
Titus?
Titus.
He's a wrestler who does the Greg Gutfeld show all the time.
Oh, I just did that show when he was there.
Yeah.
All right, cool.
He's very large in person.
Yeah, I heard he is.
I'm going to go see his comedy whatnot and try to reach out to him.
He said he was black.
I was like, dude, I thought you were Dominican this whole time.
No.
He's a black guy, he said.
Is he black and white?
I don't know.
He's from somewhere.
He's a big dude.
That dude, because he always has a belt on his shoulder.
Yeah.
And I would see on TV and I would be like, look how he brings his belt on.
When I saw him in person, I was like, oh yeah, bring your belt, dude.
I ain't got no problems with that.
He looks like a guy that can pull off always bringing his wrestling belt.
Yeah.
Let's play the rest of this.
And then I have another clip too as well because then Russell goes after the whole COVID narrative as well.
No, that's the offensive bias.
It's a false agreement.
It's not about bias.
It's a false agreement because you don't actually know anything about any of these organizations you're talking about.
Even on MSNBC once.
Big fucking deal.
My darling, it was more than an apple.
You can't come out.
By the way, I forgot that he's named.
He's such an asshole.
Do you want an example?
Do you want an example?
The ludicrous, outrageous criticisms of Joe Rogan around ivermectin, deliberately referring to it as a horse medicine when they know it's an effective medicine.
What about Rachel Maddow turning up on the TV saying, if you take this vaccine, you're not going to get it when it hasn't been clinically tried for transmission?
Non-responsive.
You have to listen.
Do you think you can improve America by determinately and avowedly condemning Fox News without acknowledging that you're participating in the same game?
Did you not just listen to Bernie Sanders, someone who plainly, legitimately believes in this country and believes it's possible to change, but is bound by corruption, is bound by the lobbying system?
Surely it's clear to you, Bill.
as one of the great pundits and experts and comic voices that systemic change is required.
Money has to be taken out of politics.
We need new political systems that genuinely represent ordinary Americans so that we can overcome cultural differences and bickering about which propagandist network is the worst is not going to save a single American life, not improve the life of a single American child, not going to approve America's standing in the world.
And the world needs a strong America.
I'll tell you that.
I'll tell you that.
So you have an obligation, a duty not to condemn these people.
Yeah, he's got to go.
What?
He's got to go.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it gets.
I play another clip over here where he brings some facts.
I mean, it's just because that whole system is designed to keep you in that quagmire, hating your neighbor.
That's what Fox News and MSNBC is all about.
They're all sponsored by the same guy.
Pfizer's got a lot of money in there.
Somebody, you know, some businesses from Rock, BlackRock, and Vanguard, they're at the top of the food chain over there.
He mentioned them.
Whenever we go to bring freedom around the world, sectarian violence always seems to break out because that's what that's our job.
Yeah.
So, of course, they're going to do it here.
Yeah.
Listen to this clip over here.
Here's another reason why they might want him gone.
Just listen.
Yes.
Out of respect for you and your show, I've brought some facts.
Would you like to actually get the fuck out of here?
That's not the place.
We like facts.
I love facts.
I wouldn't have mentioned it.
I'm English and you know that politeness is our fundamental religion.
But they do pertain to this issue.
So may I say something if they inconvenience you, I'll stop saying them.
The pandemic created at least 40 new big pharma billionaires.
Pharmaceutical corporations like Moderna and Pfizer made $1,000 of profit every second from the COVID-19 vaccine.
More than two-thirds of Congress received campaign funding from pharmaceutical companies in the 2020 election.
Pfizer chairman Albert Baller told Time magazine in July 2020 that his company was developing a COVID vaccine for the good of humanity, not for money.
And of course, Pfizer made $100 million in profit in 2022.
And may I just mention finally, and this is also a fact, that you, the American public, funded the development of that.
The German public funded the bio NTEC vaccine.
When it came to the profits, they took the profits.
When it came to the funding, you paid for the funding.
All I'm querying is this: is if you have an economic system in which pharmaceutical companies benefit hugely from medical emergencies, where a military-industrial complex benefits from war, where energy companies benefit from energy crises, you are going to generate states of perpetual crisis for the interests of ordinary people.
Separate from the interests of the elite.
I wish they didn't cut it off because I want to know.
I'm trying to guess what Bill Maher.
Bill's like, yes, I agree with that.
But isn't Trump Trump Trump Trump?
Yeah, you know, he goes back to that false equivalence.
He's saying they're worse than them.
That this is that he's still going to sell the Democrats are the lesser of two evils.
But listen, look at who he mentioned in this whole these two on this one show in these two clips.
He mentioned BlackRock Vanguard.
He mentioned the military-industrial complex.
He mentioned the big pharma.
He mentioned big energy.
I can see a bunch of people sitting in a room like, okay, this asshole, he's getting too big.
He's got to go.
And I'm not saying that makes him innocent, but it does provide, you know, some type of.
Do you think they're going to ever let, okay, a guy grab in the audience like that?
A shitleb crab that's jumping on his side.
Yeah.
And the official people are not making a good showing of it.
You think they ever want to see another kind of Trump figure arise out of anything?
God forbid he got in politics.
Everybody likes him.
Yeah.
He's given them motive to go and get rid of him.
That's what he's giving them right here.
You know, he just, you know, he went off the deep end.
When he did, I got that facts and he started rambling that out.
You can just see execs like, what are they doing?
You know what I'm saying?
This is HBO.
Stop him.
Shut him up.
Don't ever have him on the show again.
I mean, like, who's them?
Every single major media company.
Yeah.
They all, what do you mean, them?
You're run by all these companies.
It's not like a, it's not like secret devil worshipers in a basement.
It's the, they're right in front of you.
Yeah.
And they do their devil worshiping out in the front too, as well.
Um, Misha, you want to say anything about that?
I'm kind of curious to hear your opinions about the whole situation.
I know you like to unplug for the weekends, but this came up on Friday.
I saw that and I did catch it before I went unplugged.
And don't get me wrong, I was going to start bringing some of the text messages, all that stuff.
I said, I don't want to get too deep into it.
I just want to see, let me provide some motive.
It seems kind of fuguesy, but we don't know until we know, right?
I mean, obviously.
So you could read the article.
Here's the thing about all these articles that come out.
If you actually read them, you'll see they're always bullshit.
Yeah.
I mean, they're always like real, like, I have real questions at the end.
Like, what in the hell is this?
But nobody reads the articles.
They hear the gossip about it, or maybe some, you know, like, do any of those have news things that you're busy reading to people.
So people get third, fourth hand.
So that the whole media works on that.
We just got to get the headline out there.
We just got to say 57 women.
It's like being overcharged in a case where they charge you with some cop knocks you over and then you're charged assaulting a police officer.
And you're so right about the headline.
All you need is the headline.
You don't need the small print detail.
Most people aren't looking into detail.
They're just like, oh, I heard that Russell Randall charged with sexual assault.
Like real worms will put, they'll use the language like, well, he's been accused of, they'll throw in, been accused of and not put in, accusing him of the crime.
Yeah.
Like, it's really like a scumbag society.
It is.
And the people who threw this out there, all the newspapers who printed it, didn't give a shit.
You know what I'm saying?
They don't give a damn about smearing somebody that, you know, it has no ties to them.
If they get promoted at their job, they're going to write about it.
They're told to do it and stuff.
Misha, he was not on Epstein's flight logs.
I just want to let you know.
So he's not like one of these guys whose name has shown up before here and there.
This is the first time I've seen an accusation about him ever.
But your thoughts on it.
You know, I have people.
I have someone in my life who I love dearly who believes that Assange is guilty, but also because he raped somebody.
You know, that's what she believes.
And so, yeah, it doesn't take much to implant that information in someone's memory bank.
And then that's what they're going to call, they're going to, you know, go along with smearing Russell Brand.
I call BS as well.
I didn't, I don't for a second think that they're attacking him from any for any other reason but to shut him up.
This British press, they're way worse.
I mean, all this is bad.
The Daily Mail.
But UK press is, I mean, notorious.
Yeah.
This stuff is, like I said, it seems to have lost a lot of its energy when it comes to the Me Too stuff because it's been watered down so much.
It's been watered down.
When Biden got off on that, because we were, I mean, it was a moronic thing on the face of it.
Believe women.
What does that even mean?
I know.
You'd ask, they go, it means stop automatically not believing women.
What in the hell are you talking about?
And then they automatically didn't believe the woman that did something about Biden.
Yeah, they all was like, oh, but not a believe woman, but that woman.
And what do they do?
They keep calling her a Russian spy to this day.
They keep messing with terrorists.
She got told not to come back to the States.
Because it's campaign times.
They don't want this.
It's unbelievable.
Yeah.
Well, we'll see.
As this plays itself out, we'll hear more information.
There's nowhere, dude.
That stuff's done.
Amber Heard is the face of the death of it.
But it's really the press who just squandered and every single activist group.
And I like to think a lot of women having cocks now helped adjust society to not being stupid.
Well, the thing that can turn it is if people kind of say, no, he's innocent, he's innocent, and something comes out.
And all of a sudden it is, he's not innocent.
You know what I'm saying?
Based on the thing that they presented to me as a matter of fact.
So far, but that's all we have so far, right?
Based on what I have so far, I think it's an absolute lie.
But based on what we not people debunking it, what they put out there.
Yeah.
Look at the whatever.
We don't have to get all into it, but I'll just put on the record.
Yeah, I think it's bullshit.
They've only got a few things, right?
It's like you're a rapist.
You're a racist.
Women, racism, Russia.
Every W's.
When they come for you, it's going to be a lot of fun.
And we're going to have a W. Are they against me?
Women, racism, and Russia.

So he was on Face the Nation this weekend.
Like I said, the war machine, right, is in full theatric mode.
Right now, they got to prove to the American public that Ukraine is actually winning the war and Putin is on his heels.
Therefore, they can spend more money in their pump and dub scheme and eventually fill their own pockets because that's what it is.
It's just a bribery friggin scheme where they're just laundering money left and right.
We know this from the FTX scandal, and that's what's going on.
I think that our boy Mitch McConnell said, oh, well, it's not the money that's going to Ukraine.
It's going to the defense contractor, so that's okay.
Half a million almost dead in Ukrainians.
That's really sad.
Russians too as well.
But here's Sean Penn sitting down with Vladimir, green screened Zelensky the day of the invasion.
Actor and director Sean Penn is a co-director of a new documentary called Superpower.
It's about President Zelensky and the war in Ukraine.
Zelensky agreed to meet with Penn in person for the first time on camera on the same day Russia launched its full scale invasion of Ukraine.
Great, great that you are here.
It's very important now, all the support.
I think your voice, the voice, the voice, the voice, I think Americans have to hear.
So I think you see that we are just holding a people who wants to live in my country.
Yeah, and how are you here?
It's the, I mean, this, it's so dangerous to be here at this time in this country with you, with your countrymen.
I mean, it's such, there's so much inspiration to be had here.
We spoke with Penn on Friday about his new film.
In one of the clips, Andre Yermak, one of the top advisors to President Zelensky, says to you, you know, the U.S. position should be stronger if the United States and Joe Biden doesn't do something now.
Essentially, he says America's over.
America's over.
That followed with a pretty robust financial investment by the United States, more than $50 billion, pledges of weapons.
I just have to stop it for two seconds right now because I know a lot of people are focused on what Sean Penn's about to say and green screen Zelensky Vlodimore.
I really get disgusted by with the mainstream media, the way they're so pro-war themselves.
They just casually say this stuff, you know, like, oh, that was followed by this finances that were coming here while they were under attack and whatnot.
The mainstream media is such an accessory.
Is that the word right there?
An accomplice?
Just an infomercial for this thing.
Yeah.
I can't wait to see it.
I have to tell you.
The parts where they're like, you know, hand-jobbing each other are going to be real dull.
Like the clip they just showed is like, are you joking?
Yeah.
This has got to be the most dull.
But there's going to be what I want to hear is all the nonsense she said because she was quoting, I think, the doc, right?
She goes, America's over if they don't win.
Yes.
Is that right?
I think we are over.
Ukrainian freedom is tied to American freedoms because if we don't stop Ukraine now, then they'll go to the Baltic states next because Putin wants to recreate the old Soviet Union.
And they'll come marching all the way through Europe.
I'm like, so us losing two in a row, that wasn't a threat of America being over.
But this other people's thing.
Yes.
Okay.
I guess we've actually got to go.
And it's such a lie, Kurt, because the Russian Federation, especially Putin, they didn't even want the Donbass.
They didn't even want that area, which is predominantly filled with Russian-speaking people.
Because you know why?
Because then you got to manage that territory.
And they don't want to do that.
They got bankrupt during the Soviet Union.
They understand this.
They wanted the Donbass.
And we know this from Mix 1 and Mix 2 that push and Putin tried to really push for everybody to agree to.
They didn't want it.
They didn't want to have to manage it.
Donbass didn't want to be part of them.
They want to be autonomous.
At one point.
But then when it got too far, then they were like, no, we need your protection, obviously, because these Azoff Nazi battalions are going to continue to bomb us and terrorize us.
So then at one point, I'm pretty sure most of them are like, all right, we need Russia's help in here because they knew what was going on.
But listen, this is going to get good over here, buddy.
The best parts haven't even been played yet.
Watch this.
But From what I've heard you say, you think the United States isn't doing enough.
It is my absolute feeling that the caution with which the United States has pledged support, which seemed in my reading of February 2020, 22, was like a lean on in the fear of nuclear conflict.
Something I think all of us should look very carefully at and understand it as possible.
And that's to be concerning.
The likelihood is extremely low.
Why?
Why?
It's possible, but the likelihood is extremely low.
And that was after he said that caution turns to cowardice.
Hey, I have to take my goddamn shoes off at the airport still, just in case there's another shoe bomb that they could have stopped by just looking at the guy's shoes.
Yeah.
And I'm supposed to not give a shit about a nuclear Holocaust.
Okay.
He has to say that because otherwise he is.
Well, it's not, it's going to, he'll be hypocritical then.
You know, it will go against that.
It's counterproductive of what his story is, that we need to not be cowardice and continue to fund them to the freaking not.
Whoever puppets him, what I want to know is why whoever's puppeting him, this dim bulb, why they're not afraid of it.
I'll tell you what I suspect because most is we probably got some kind of weapon that's way better than nukes.
No.
The only way I can see the whole cavalier.
No, I think they think that they're going to live underground, that they'll be safe.
I think the oligarch thinks that they have their bunkers and they'll go on the ground and they'll be fine and they'll all clear and they'll come up when it's done.
But okay, yeah, but for Ukraine, they would do that.
I don't, I just like, that don't add up to me.
They must have somewhere they're like, Russia can't use those nukes.
So don't, but they want television.
I also think they're cocky enough to think that they're the crazy ones.
I'm looking at Sean Penn.
Who knows what the hell?
What is with his hair, too?
Well, he's got Kalinsky hair now.
He does.
Check him out.
And as one of our witnesses in the film says, you know, are we going to let a gangster with nuclear weapons dictate the way we live?
Are you?
Oh.
Are you kidding me?
Are we going to let this crazy guy with nuclear weapons dictate the way we live?
We're talking about freedom.
Wait, wait, wait.
Democracy.
I currently let a gangster with nuclear weapons tell me how to live.
What are you talking about?
It's good, though.
It's got more.
We got more.
So I think that, and that the Ukrainians won't let him do that.
They won't.
In the documentary, you spoke of a Ukrainian fighter pilot named Juice.
You remember the Moonfish and Juice story?
No.
These two guys came during the release of Top Gun in the beginning of the war, right?
I think it was after Top Gun shortly after to ask for, they wanted to push this F-16 program.
Watch out, Sean Penn gets emotional about it.
Was that their genders or their call signs?
No, they were call sides.
Moonfish and Juice, Hollywood, Slider.
In the documentary, you spoke of the Ukrainian fighter pilot named Juice, who I understand was killed later in a training incident.
Was your personal connection to him the case he made to you part of why you are pushing this point on F-16 so strongly?
I was pushing it when I was with Juice and he was alive.
He dreamt of flying F-16s.
I think that he was a man who was born into a time where he had to do this extreme thing and he did it with poise.
Oh my God.
And skill and focus.
Hold on.
So when he made this movie, Moonfish and Juice came to the United States to push for this F-16 program, right?
Because they wanted to get F-16s, F-16s, which made no sense because these guys are Ukrainian.
They fly much.
They can switch to an F-16.
Yes.
Did he die?
I don't know.
Did he get his majority?
And they died?
Can he do that?
I think he died before the F-16 program came to light.
Because, dude, Kurt, immediately, that's what I thought.
It says the same thing.
Like, they pushed for an F-16 program, put him in an F-16, and he crashed the thing because they're used to flying MiGs.
Oh, my God.
Why is his hair white?
Because he saw the ghost of Kiev.
Just check it out.
They try to get the emotional, personal connection.
Skill and focus and compassion.
And so he had come to Washington to lobby for the F-16s and also was buying helmets for his helicopter pilot friends on eBay here to bring back.
So it was like that.
Wait, wait, wait.
Why don't they have helmets if we send them $130 billion?
Like, why do they have helmets?
What is that money going for?
Because we didn't have enough money for the helmets for the helicopter.
We got him out of the middle.
And that's just some bullshit story so he could just make an emotional, you know, kind of like point about things.
The way they're trying.
I mean, think about this.
How did they even think to bring this into this whole discussion?
It's like a script.
Dude, I thought he, I didn't, until I saw a picture of Juice, I thought he was just being catfished.
No.
And he was just like, oh, Juice, he wants to meet Juice.
Oh, Juice passed away.
I want to know what's up with Moonfish if Moonfish is still alive.
It's Juice's real name.
They don't say it.
No, they all just said Moonfish and Juice.
And they showed this Juice.
You got to look him up and say, you could probably find them out their names, but they showed just the two of them.
That's their call sign.
It makes it, we're a G.I. Joe nation.
Yeah, it makes it more top gun.
So it was like that.
And then I suppose now, was it July that it was announced that there would now be an F-16 program, those resources?
Eventually.
Yeah, over a long period of time.
Sad story.
His friends.
Moonfish and Juice.
Juice did not live to see the F-16s that are coming our way.
It's a beautiful story.
They're sending over weapons of war, and it's just so beautiful.
And a couple of weeks later, I got the message that he'd been killed.
I think not only would Juice be alive today if we had been as bold as we like to claim to be historically as a country with our principles, with our Republicans and our Democrats, with our leadership.
You his voice.
The citizenry too.
He's trying to say that the lack of us sending them as much weaponry as possible is what caused the death of Juice.
And we can't make that mistake again, Kurt.
I think he's assuming.
You can't make that mistake again.
Yeah, I think he's just assuming I care a lot more about his friend Juice than I do.
It's a good story.
The citizenry too, while we're putting all those Ukrainian flags out, we should have demand decisiveness in this case because at some point, caution becomes cowardice.
There it is again.
There's still an opportunity.
It sounds like when Matt Damon, Matt Damon, was it FTX that he did the ad?
Who do you the ad for where he goes, Fortune favors the bold to get you into crypto just for FTX?
I think it was FTX.
It was.
I think it was forever.
He sounds like he's saying crypto.
It was Matt Damon.
It was FTX.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fortune favors, it becomes cowardice.
This is like an investment in a goddamn scam.
Yeah.
And that's what he's trying to tell you to do.
Because here, Zelensky's coming this week.
This came out this weekend, the weekend before Zelensky's coming to lobby to Congress and lobby to the American people that they need more money for weapons of war because their freedom is your freedom depends upon their freedom.
Is he now did you would you show me before him talking about the vac we need to we're gonna go right after that because we want to we want to show this parrot this parrot's the same bullshit of like put your seatbelt on and you know what I'm talking about.
Check it out.
But just look at him, dude.
This guy needs to be attacked right away.
It becomes cowardice.
But there's still an opportunity for us to do the right thing.
58% of Americans polled by CBS disapprove of the way Joe Biden is handling the situation with Russia and Ukraine.
And I'm getting the sense from you.
You're disappointed too.
Yeah, I respect President Biden very much.
There have been a couple of things that I think have been disasters up to this point.
It should be an implicit understanding between private citizens and leaders in government that there are things that I don't know about things that should be need to remain.
Does that not sound like manufacturing consent for the government to not tell us what we need to know?
Okay, wait.
Because he was like saying there's something at it.
I'm going to play the rest of the thing, but right off the bat, when he started saying this, he's like manufacturing consent for them to be to not be transparent with the public.
No, that's what I'm taking it.
Yes.
So this is about both this war and vaccine.
Is that what this is going?
I was thinking we were talking.
No, I think we just talked about war in this clip.
Standing between private citizens and leaders in government that, you know, there are things that I don't know about things that should be, need to remain classified.
Right.
So every day, even when I was with Juice, I was privately thinking, yes, it's our job to fight this fight.
But privately, I was thinking, but maybe they were doing it behind closed doors.
And tomorrow we're going to wake up to that squadron.
What squadron?
United States boots on the ground?
What is he talking about?
Oh, he was hoping that they're doing.
Maybe, I don't know.
He was saying some form of more.
Wake up.
Now I remember.
Okay, so 58% of Americans disapprove of how Biden is handling this.
Does she just suggest that that 58% wants him to send more money to Ukraine?
And he and he's bingo.
The same way they did it with once again when people like, oh, Trump didn't handle the coronavirus situation bad.
In other words, they wanted more lockdowns and more mandates.
They twisted and flipped it on his head.
That's what they just did right here lately.
Looking at Vancouver?
That's what they just did to you, ladies and gentlemen.
And Kirk caught him in live time.
Enough time has passed.
I think it's been to date a tragic mistake.
And I hope and encourage this president that he deserves the legacy of doing this properly.
Polling also shows big majorities of Americans continue to support economic sanctions on Russia.
61% of Republicans, though, say that.
Most people are cool with sanctions on them.
Most people are.
Most people do not think.
Because they say they only think it's cool if there's a choice, war or sanctions.
Then of course they take sanctions.
But if you stand alone on their heads, most people say we shouldn't be doing anything.
Well, maybe now, but when we get to the point of the case, that's a Foucault statement.
When we sanctioned all those Iraqi kids to death, you know, back in the day.
When they said it was an either-or.
I'd rather sanction them than go to war.
I'm telling you straight up that people in that studio and New York, all these people, they're like, that's like the, I swear to God, they think of it as a gentler thing and not terrorism, which is what it is.
That's why they love cancel culture, which is sanctions.
Yes.
That's why they love it.
It is sanctions.
It doesn't exist, but we need more of it.
It's sanctions.
They love all shitlibs love sanctions because they think it's a way of nudging people.
The U.S. should not send weapons to Ukraine.
50% say the U.S. should not send aid and supplies to Ukraine.
That is a big shift from where the Republican Party was in terms of in the past being very strong on Russia.
But some of it, in terms of the rhetoric, reflects this sense that America needs to fix itself at home.
How do you respond to that sense?
I think there's more than a compelling argument that would change those minds.
And I understand why they're confused.
We can convince people for more war.
Wait, what is the argument?
Well, here we go.
Here we go.
I got to understand would change those minds.
And I understand why they're confused.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm hoping in its little way that this film can help context.
I would be confused if I hadn't had the opportunity to do this.
Better communication of the why and the justification for the billions of dollars.
If the current leadership would just do one thing now, it would be the president saying to his cabinet, we are not spinning the story on Ukraine anymore.
So if it's about what are they capable of, we're going to let our commanders in Fresno at the Cal National Guard that's been doing joint military exercises with them for 30 years tell us what their capability is.
And we're going to say it unfiltered today.
Oh, Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I get what he's saying.
Okay, so Ukraine is losing real bad.
Whatever all the money we wasted on it, it was never enough.
So this dumb-dumb is seeing the very real devastation that this proxy war has caused.
And in his moronic head, his idea is to go all in on it.
Yes, because Ukraine's freedom is also tied to our freedom and democracy.
Just like that one dude said in the very beginning of the interview, who was in the room with him and Zelensky saying that you guys need to do this because if you don't, America's going to end.
We'll have to wear a mask if they don't win.
Well, that's the next video.
Let's finish this up real quick.
You end the documentary talking about this feeling of unity you had when you were in Ukraine and you compare it to what you see here at home.
And you actually end on the images of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the congresswoman, and Marjorie Taylor Green of Georgia.
And you say, we're going backwards.
Why do you think they symbolize that?
I think that we've come to a point where we as the voters, we as the citizens have to look at our politicians and say, look, you're very smart.
We agree with your policy.
Why would you want to call it socialist?
Why would you want to put up a middle finger to people who have a reaction to that?
You're a leader.
Just get the policy across.
I'm not interested in these people self-celebrating.
He's so close to the answer and he can't form it in his dumb blonde head.
Why do you think it is?
Because then on purpose, Sean, to not pass those things.
Oh, he's a genius.
So he's probably seen some.
So this is actually some insight into how Hitchens got on board with the Iraq war because they go travel around, make friends with some people, and they see people they care about die.
And then they're like, no, it is a good comic because my friend juice.
Yeah.
And all that.
That's what they do.
They get you emotionally involved.
And without all the information, which he just got done.
Dude, I got some friends who went in from the Ukrainian side, whatnot, and they were just kind of cursing left and right that Russia's awful and stuff because they saw the bombing and whatnot.
And they only see one side.
Do they see the van jamming Ukrainians in?
They didn't see that.
That's what I'm saying.
They don't take them to those areas.
They let them see what they want them to see.
I'm Sean Penn.
I'll bet Sean Penn.
Oh, you know what?
I would have thought Sean Penn never saw that.
I'll bet he did.
And I bet he's like, they wouldn't have to do this if America would step up.
Do you think so?
That's what I've done.
Well, you heard what he said.
Ladies and gentlemen, do you think Sean Penn witnessed any of those soldiers getting thrown in the vans?
I don't think they were doing anything.
Did you think Sean Penn saw a video or anything, or he just ignores it to his day of them forcing these young kids to the front line?
You answer that question there.
If he's emotionally attached, right?
He came back.
That means he's looking probably because emotional to see how it's being covered.
Yes.
Because he cares about it.
So that means most people don't care, so they don't even know about all the Nazi flags and all that stuff.
So if you care about it, you're looking at it.
He's probably seeing, oh, they're not winning.
All the news that we get.
He's getting all that.
And then his brain turns into we should spend more money on this.
We should not only spend more money.
It seems like he's okay with committing American and NATO troops there too as well.
Yeah, we're going to not lose democracy.
We might lose NATO, which I'm really into.
Really into that.
Oh, I got a NATO t-shirt, and I don't want to get rid of it.
Hey, this is the Jimmy Door show.
Craig speaking.
Who's talking?
Wait, what's going on right now?
Oh, this is Craig Pashto Dardoula.
I'm sitting in for Jimmy this week.
Who's this?
This is Vince Vaughan.
Oh, Double V. Wait a minute.
How do you know the special nickname that only Jimmy Dore is allowed to call me?
Who are you?
What is this?
Am I being set up again?
No, no, no.
Jimmy has guest closed from time to time.
He and Steph are on the road at the moment.
Oh, I see.
Like when Joan Rivers would guest host for Johnny Carson.
Exactly.
And then Joan went to Fox and got her own show, and Carson disowned her and blackballed her forever.
Better watch your ass.
It's all I'm sitting.
I got it.
We'll do.
Why are you calling in today, Vince?
Well, Craig.
Call me pasta.
Oh, absolutely not.
I will not be doing that.
Craig, I wanted to say this to a trusted confidant like Jimmy Dore, but I suppose the guy I literally just met will be almost as good.
Okay.
So things may or may not be coming out about me.
Things that may be hard to hear for some people, things that I categorically deny nonetheless.
And I just wanted to get out ahead of the situation or situations as the case may be and like categorically deny.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Vince, that's very vague.
What kind of things are you talking about?
Craig, there may or may not be certain accusations about me, or if not direct accusations, perhaps insinuations or vague implications.
And I'm getting out ahead of these things, whatever they may be, and saying no, denying.
You keep saying may or may not be.
Why are you phrasing it like that?
Well, that's the case for literally any man, isn't it?
All of us technically live in a constant state of existence where in the future he may or may not be facing allegations of wrongdoing.
That's like a tautological statement.
It's by definition true.
And it's especially true for famous men in entertainment who spent their youth and the height of their fame just absolutely crushing puss.
Like an absurd amount.
You know what I mean?
Like, holy shit.
I see.
So you're reading between the lines.
I'm gathering that you don't actually have any tangible information about accusations of wrongdoing coming out about you.
No?
Technically, that's true.
Yes.
I know of no specific allegations about me that are out there, but that doesn't mean I can't be gationed at any moment at literally any time.
So I'm getting out of it in front of a hypothetical situation just in case.
Well, I guess the simple question here, Vince, would be, did you ever do anything in the past that was bad that would warrant accusations of past sexual misconduct?
The honest answer, Craig?
Honestly, I don't know.
I really don't.
I mean, I don't think so.
I certainly don't remember anything, but baby, after Swingers came out, you don't even know, man.
That was a moment.
And the next 10 years was a haze of partying, highballs, Coke, and not giving a shit about anybody but myself.
Who knows what the fuck I did?
Did you sleep with any underage women, Vince?
I don't think so.
I wouldn't have on purpose for sure.
But I wasn't checking IDs.
There's not a bouncer for my dick.
And I hardly ever forced myself on anyone, but we keep learning about new ways to be bad.
Some dumb coups wrote a quote news article basically exposing that Aziz Ansari learned about women exclusively from porn and rap lyrics, and he had to go bye-bye for a while.
Right.
Honestly, all that would have to happen.
Honestly, all that would have to happen would be some 40-year-old adult woman coming forward and saying, one time 20 years ago, Vince Vaughn made me feel unsafe.
And then people would say, you know what?
I always thought there was something off about him because let's be honest, I'm one of those guys.
And then it's curtains for Double V. I see what you're saying, Vince.
I'm telling you, that word unsafe is their new favorite toy.
It's so powerful.
It can take a nothing and make it an everything.
Don't you think you're being a little paranoid here?
I mean, what would be the point of woman or woman, a woman, or news organization just going after you for no reason?
To take me down from the position of great power that I'm in.
What position of power?
I'm a guy who's pretty famous.
Also, I'm kind of conservative.
Hollywood hates any actor who's not a dirty fucking commie.
Also, I speak truth to power, and they're taking those guys down left and right.
Okay, how do you speak truth to power, Vince?
I call into the Jimmy Door show.
He speaks truth to power, right?
And then I call in with my Vince Vaughan Tinsel Town Show pinions and expose the entertainment industry for the joke that it is.
So I'm speaking truth to power by proxy.
That's a real thing, not a thing that I just made up right now.
No, okay.
So, you see, I've got a target on my back and kind of a hazy memory of certain times.
So, yes, I'm worried.
And I categorically deny any and all accusations of wrongdoing in the strongest terms possible.
Does that sound right?
That's what people say, right?
That sounds perfect, Vince.
And I especially categorically deny any accusations of wrongdoing from one Mary Beth Townsend of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
There is no way that happened.
At least the way she says it.
Oh, no, Vince.
I gotcha.
Yeah, I think I kind of messed up there, didn't I?
Yeah, a little bit.
Okay, well, I'm going to go now and go back to the PR team and have a little powwow, and we'll get back to you soon.
Very good to meet you, Craig.
I hope to chat with you again.
Maybe, maybe I'll call you pasta.
Who knows?
I'll see what kind of mood I'm in.
Thank you, Vince.
appreciate that.
