Time Text
Hey, come see us on tour.
We're gonna be in Tampa, Boca Raton, Orlando, Dallas, Houston, San Diego, Bloomington, Illinois, Indianapolis, and Lebatown, New York.
Wow, that's a lot of dates.
See you there.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy's President Joe Biden.
Oh, hey, President.
How you doing today?
Why are you calling?
Because I have become addicted to making phone calls.
I have your number.
Check this out, Slatjack.
I just got through calling Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Romania, and United Kingdom, as well as France's foreign minister and my niece.
Wow.
Why all the phone calls?
Well, it's my niece's birthday, and I couldn't rub her hair in person.
Jesus.
But all the rest were about our valiant struggle in Ukraine.
I was assuring our allies and world leaders that the United States' commitment to helping Ukraine win this war has not wavered, despite the fact that part of the debt ceiling deal was no more money for Ukraine, which was tragic.
I'm sure you agree, but we will prevail.
Uh-huh.
Jimmy, next fiscal cycle, I swear we will return to sending aid to Ukraine like you wouldn't believe.
Just shoveling money at them like we're fueling a locomotive.
Jesus Christ.
Trust me, it will be the most irresponsible, unconscionable expenditure of taxpayer funds overseas that the American people will have ever seen.
That's saying a lot.
No, don't challenge me, hop scotch.
This is going to be like two Iraq wars when I'm through.
Oh, my God.
And it's not just us.
We are one among many allies of Ukraine.
Yes.
A sort of coalition of the willing.
The world stands with our friends on the Dnieper.
Just a few days ago, the Canadian parliament sheared a 100-year-old Ukrainian-Canadian freedom fighter who fought against the Soviet Union in World War II.
It was beautiful to behold.
So a Nazi, you mean?
No, not a Nazi.
Maybe learn your history, Jimmy.
He fought against the Soviet Union.
One of the most expensive race games of the 20th century.
The Axis powers fought against the Soviet Union.
That doesn't make them Nazis.
But this guy was.
He was literally in the Waffen-SS.
Oh, shit, for real?
Yes.
All right, that does look bad.
Yeah, not good.
I wonder how Justin Trudeau is going to good boy his way out of this one.
Oh, well, we'll just say anyone who points that out is a right-wing nut job.
Ah!
Good plan.
But even there, we can see our U.S. foreign policy in that part of Europe has always been far-sighted.
After the Second World War, yes, Canada took in many Ukrainian Nazi foot soldiers.
America did not do that.
We took in the high-ranking German Nazi officers, the high-value boys.
Once again, America took the best and the brightest, and we got a fucking space program out of it.
Yeah.
What did Canada get?
a bunch of auto body shops.
laughter laughter laughter Yeah.
Yeah.
Right, Operation Paperclip.
Yeah, that's right.
Operation Paperclip.
You know, every time I hear that, I think of the helpful paperclip from Microsoft Word.
Hi there, looks like you're trying to start a space program.
Would you like to harbor actual Nazis?
Clipping.
Yes, yes, I do.
Thank you, paperclip.
So no more money to Zelensky for the time being then?
No, no new allocated funds, correct.
But, Jimmy, I have good news.
I don't know if you heard about this, but a recently discovered accounting error has freed up $5.4 billion in Ukraine.
Isn't that amazing?
We're sending so much money over there that even minor errors are in the billions of dollars.
It's just so much money.
Is there any oversight in this money?
Do we keep track of where it actually goes in Ukraine?
Jimmy, the Ukrainian government is so full of corruption and graph that it is nearly impossible to get a full accounting of where our aid goes.
To the point where to some, it may seem highly irresponsible to funnel billions of dollars there.
But it is not the job of the United States to clean up another country's government.
You mean like it's not our problem or something?
Correct.
It's our job to simply point a fire hose of cash at the Ukraine until there's so many corrupt Ukrainian billionaires that everyone on the streets of Kiev is wearing a track suit embossed with gold leaf.
Does it bother you that despite all the money we've sent over to Ukraine, there's been little or no progress in that war?
No.
No.
No, it does not.
I know.
One, it makes our efforts seem even more valiant somehow.
I know.
And two, the last thing we want is to tether the idea of foreign aid to visible results of any kind.
It would make the whole goddamn system collapse.
Well, I appreciate you calling it and then tell us that there is no end in sight to either this war or our spending in Eastern Europe.
My pleasure, Jimmy, but let's be honest.
Deep down, you already knew that.
Yep.
I have to go now.
My commie-ass dog just bit another cop, so I have to go scream-laugh into a pillow.
*laughter*
Establishment media sets of all So, what happened this week in Congress, or just happened yesterday, right?
Is what we were pushing them to do in 2020 when the squad and the progressives had just as much power as Matt Gates did.
So, this is what we wanted.
We can't even get a floor vote on Medicare for all.
That's garbage.
You can do it right now.
We need 15 Democrats.
We need the elected officials that you helped get elected to tell Nancy Pelosi that you will not vote for her as speaker unless Medicare for all is put on the House floor for a vote.
I think it's a really smart idea.
You know, the worst abuse of power, Crystal, is not using the power you have to fight for people.
Will they?
Time to let AOC know they have no other option because we're watching and we see through their bullshit excuses.
We have to put public pressure on them.
I want to see who's going to vote against healthcare in the middle of a pandemic.
If you're not going to do it now, you are never going to do it.
You phony.
All the people who filled up your voicemail, they're going to remember whether you did the right thing here.
Which side are they really on?
This is where you force progressive House members to reveal who they answer to.
Do they answer to their constituents or do they answer to the party bosses?
Listen to AOC's own words.
The Democratic Party does not do more unless it is pushed.
And so, this moment is the great unmasking.
Force it to happen.
Ask them: are you fighters or are you careerists?
Are you activists for the people or are you posers on Twitter?
Everyone's going to try to tell you that if you're just a little bit nicer, then it'll be fine.
No, the whole point of protesting is to make people uncomfortable.
You got to make them uncomfortable.
She's pretending to be part of a movement when she's really running cover for Nancy Pelosi.
Did you think anybody voted for you so you could vote for Nancy Pelosi without getting them anything?
This is Medicare for all.
People's actual lives depend on us doing this.
Yeah, exactly.
Now it's your chance to actually use your leverage.
Will you?
Take risks.
Or will you be a party fucking climber?
start bringing the ruckus on the Democratic Party.
Yeah.
Oh, the orderly clockwork machine ruckus.
So that was just what we saw Matt Goetz do.
Matt Goetz is bringing real reform to the House of Representatives.
Matt Goetz is showing that they actually did have that power.
Matt Goetz is showing that we were right about forced to vote and that they voted for Nancy Pelosi and extracted absolutely nothing for their vote.
Matt Goetz has been slapping McCarthy's face head around since he before he got became speaker.
Go ahead.
What do you want to say?
Let's not forget one of the reasons they couldn't force the vote was because we couldn't risk the possibility that Kevin McCarthy become the speaker.
Is that what you want, Jimmy?
Is that...
Remember how strong of a thing that was?
Yes.
What if he became speaker?
We could lose Rophy Way.
So this is how this is how ballsy Kevin McCarthy was.
He tweets out, bring it on.
Matt Goetz just did.
No, I was talking to the intelligence community to take care of this.
I'm sorry, Matt.
I wasn't speaking to you.
Elon Musk even waited on that.
He said, this exchange is amazing.
So what happened?
So they ousted the McCarthy as speaker.
You already know the story, but I like what Nick.
We're all going to ew.
The Democrats are like, well, that's disgraceful.
You said he was the worst guy.
I thought when your enemies are screwing up, let them screw up.
This is about the establishment.
And you can't go against the establishment.
So you have, just like they said in that video, you have to be willing to be hated by the establishment to get something done.
And Matt Goetz is willing to do that because guess what?
He's funded by the people.
Well, Newt Gingrich said everyone's going to hate him.
Newt Gingrich on Sean Hannity.
That's what they said about Trump.
They said everybody's going to hate him when he said that you screwed up 9-11 and Iraq war was wrong.
They were like, oh, that's over for him.
No, that's what catapulted him to the presidency.
Say Matt Goetz is more popular right now than I think anybody in Congress.
Yeah.
So Nick says, after seeing what is happening to Kevin McCarthy due to the actions of a small militant caucus, I'd be embarrassed if I was someone on the left who spoke out against Force to Vote when we demanded AOC and the squad do the same to Nancy Pelosi.
How does it feel to be proven so completely wrong and exposed as naive political as a naive political child?
He goes on, removing Nancy Pelosi isn't chaos.
What is chaos is 70,000 Americans dying each year because they don't have health care and she refuses to put it up for a vote.
Imagine if the left supported force to vote in AOC and the squad was making this argument in front of millions of people watching.
Instead, they voted for Nancy Pelosi and the DSA left ran cover for them.
Now we are further away from Medicare for all than when the Bernie movement started.
So that includes Corey Bush, all of them.
That also includes Nina Turner, who ran cover for them, the Young Turks, all the people with their stupid shows who did that.
If AOC waged this fight against one of the most unpopular politicians in the modern era while fighting for a popular policy position like Medicare for All, she would be the most popular politician in the country by far.
Instead, she voted for Pelosi.
Now she has a favorable rating As low as Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
I didn't know that.
I didn't know it was that bad.
So they voted, they did it.
And they did it over real reform stuff.
The effort was launched on Monday.
This is the first time.
I didn't know that was the first time they'd ever done that.
And the people who are upset are people who even like quote-unquote Democratic, not politicians, but like journalists, right?
People at the HuffPo and stuff.
They're saying this is outrageous.
And it's because this is, you can't go against power.
You can't go against the establishment.
So he introduced a privileged resolution to vacate the speakership after accusing Mark McCarthy of cutting a secret deal with President Biden.
So what they did was they got the Ukraine aid.
He's serious about this Ukraine aid, this Matt Getz.
So they got him to take the Ukraine aid out of the deal that would keep the government open.
But McCarthy went behind their backs.
Well, wait, Jimmy, I don't know if I believe that.
There's no proof of that.
We can't just jump on that as if it were Russell Brand wild allegations from a decade ago.
Through the British media, this is something we have to wait and not jump too much on.
Unfortunately, they sent a letter out, you know, leadership telling the people that don't worry, McCarthy, when we get back to session, is going to put it up for an up and down vote, which was very, you know, well, he, you know, when he took it out, everybody assumed it won't go on the floor because only the speaker can take it to the floor.
So if he takes it out, it's never going to get on the floor.
But then he went behind the back and said, don't worry, we'll put it up for an up and down vote and you'll get your Ukraine spending money because all the Democrats want to fund this war.
This is just about how much the military-industrial complex has a stranglehold on the Democrats.
And that's all this is.
This is just a money laundering operation, the Ukraine war.
This isn't, we've been, we, I mean, look at my speech at the Ukraine, I mean, at the UN.
You know what I'm talking about.
Go ahead.
This is like, okay, remember when it turned out FTX was doing back-doing deals with helimeter research and they're supposed to be separate?
Yes.
I get a strong feeling that America and Ukraine have some similar relationship.
Like Putin's a madman.
Oh, is this all one big company?
And I thought I lived in a nation.
So what's funny is that there are people out anyway.
So the final vote was 216 to 210 with eight Republicans and every Democrat voting to remove McCarthy.
And then, so here's Matt Goetz says: Speaker McCarthy never intended to move on to single subject appropriation bills until we forced him to.
So this guy's, this is so I was going through marijuana withdrawal, still am, head foggy, on vacation, wasn't paying attention.
This guy's serious about this.
So what, so Craig, what this is, is you know how they'll put in a bill here, Ukraine of funding along with the border, along with the military, whatever, school funding, all this kind of shit together.
So you can't vote against it.
And he's saying, no, you're going to vote on single things.
This is like a real reform.
Yeah.
But what about the political norms, Jimmy?
Yeah.
Normally, we wouldn't do that.
Normally, we would do something grubbed.
And so that's a real reform.
Yeah.
Can I get a Kleenex?
Yeah.
Think how crazy that is.
Like, he's the crazy guy of that because he did the thing that most people want in the country where, you know, the democracy that's at stake this election.
Most leftists want that.
They don't want a bill that goes to the floor where you're lumping in Ukraine spending in border.
Yeah.
Because then it provides cover for the politician.
Or Israel funding and school lunches.
Yeah.
Right.
That's a good one.
So thank you.
Thank you.
And he's not representing the people he's supposed to represent there.
That's what's crazy about him.
So he's the one guy who has the balls to do this in Congress is Matt Goetz.
And of course, they tried to smear him as a pedophile because the donor class doesn't have a stranglehold on him.
He doesn't take PAC money.
I haven't looked at his funding, but I know that on the floor they accused him of using this for fundraising.
And he said, I'll gladly take 20.
I'm going to play that.
I'll play that.
Washington must change.
We must put the House of Representatives on a better course.
Speaker McCarthy has failed to take a stand where it matters.
So if he won't, I will.
So here, now, this is the speech I always wanted to hear a lefty make.
Yeah, here it is.
To be clear, I tried to get one of the three podiums on the Republican side, and y'all wouldn't let me have him.
So he sent me over here.
But you know what?
I'll make this argument at any desk in this building, from the well, from the chair.
I'll make it on every street corner in this country that Washington must change.
We have to break the cycle.
We have to break the fever.
And I would hope, truly, that the reforms that we are fighting for are reforms that would last and be embraced and that would democratize power in this institution beyond the privileged few who back us up against shutdown politics and Christmases and deadlines in order to achieve their objectives.
Mr. Speaker, high inflation is on the verge of bankrupting American families.
Our economy is breaking in half.
A typical American family can't afford to buy a house in 99% of U.S. counties.
Inflation is stealing more than $700 a month from working Americans, nearly $9,000 a year.
Kevin McCarthy is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and he has failed to take a stand where it matters.
So if he won't, I will.
I make no apologies for defending the right of every hardworking American to afford a decent life for themselves and their families.
And we have a greater opportunity to do that and to build coalitions under new leadership.
We have to rip off the band-aid.
We have to get back on a better course.
And Mr. Speaker, I don't know how this vote's going to go.
Usually when a vote comes to this floor, it's pretty predetermined.
And this one, I'm not so sure, but I am sure that we've made the right argument.
That this place deserves single-subject spending bills, that we should have 72 hours to read a bill, that something that spends more than $100 million shouldn't be put on the suspension agenda such that we can't amend it.
And there shouldn't be secret side deals made on a continuing resolution to lump Ukraine in with border security.
That is not right for Ukraine or border security because it fails to give either of those issues the dignity that they would require.
But we can return that dignity to this house.
We can get back on a better path.
We can have single subject appropriations bills.
We can set a budget, a budget top line.
We haven't had a budget in this place since I was in high school.
So let's get a budget.
Let's get our act together.
Let's get on with it.
Let's vacate the chair and let's get a better speaker.
I yield back.
And so now you know there goes there.
That's a ruckus.
That's a real ruckus.
And now you know why they slandered him as a pedophile because the donor class can't control him.
And so whatever, remember all those crazy stories that they were writing that he's a pedophile.
Oh, the God, he's got to be pedophiles.
I haven't heard anything about it for quite some time.
Well, I bet they'll be making a comeback now.
So that's what they, I'm sure that's what they said to Jamal Bowman and Bernie Sanders.
You want us to call it, you want us to do what we're doing in Mac Getz to you?
Okay, now in fairness.
You better go along with the Ukraine war.
You better go, you better slander healthcare activists.
You better call healthcare candy.
You better vote for the CARES Act.
You better participate in the largest upward transfer of wealth in human history.
Or we're going to do you what we do in Mac Getz right now.
We're going to say there's a pedophile.
And if that doesn't work, we'll do what we did to Trump.
We'll say he's a Russian agent.
And if that doesn't work, we'll do what we did to Tulsi Gabbard.
And we'll say she's an Assadist.
She's a traitor to our country, even though she's serving as an officer in our military in these stupid wars.
And so they can't control him, and that's why they did that to him.
Why do you think the FBI was trying to pin a pedophile tag on him?
What do you think they're doing to Russell Bran?
Do you not see the game now?
So whoever the donor class can't control and hate this.
And they're calling him crazy now.
They're calling him a terrorist.
This is a disgrace.
I saw Newt Gingrich say he's a traitor to the Republican Party.
You know, the thing that I'm mad about.
Yeah.
So here, imagine if they had the balls.
Imagine if a Democrat had the balls to say this and actually follow through on it.
And when it comes to how those raise money, I take no lecture on asking patriotic Americans to weigh in and contribute to this fight from those who would grovel and bend knee for the lobbyists and special interests who own our leadership,
who have, oh, boo all you want, who have hauled out this town and have walked against the market difference between if you were in a crowd of people and said that and what you hear at the top a crowd of people so if I say that at one of my shows the whole place stands up and cheers he says that in front of their elected representatives and they boo him his own party that's his own party booing and he doesn't give a damn that is this is like watching to me Matt Goetz
Now, for me, it's like watching a professional wrestling villain go to the microphone and all of a sudden turn into the good guy.
Yeah, he's a rock man.
You're like, what?
You're for the people?
He's doing a great wrestling monologue.
And if you actually do the thing like boot McCarthy out, it's really weird how happy I am about that and how much you would think it would align with every Democrat whose worst fear was a Kevin McCarthy speakership.
Yeah.
That was the primordial.
That's the primordial fear.
And he doesn't want to fund Nazis.
Boo!
Now, can I just say, in fairness to Jamal Bowman, I believe he did try to force the vote a couple times, but it turned out to be the fire alarm.
So the conservatives have been considered dishonest thieves for generations, and it looks like Matt Gatz has absconded with the morality that was supposed to be on the left.
Look at this panel of angry monopoly men.
No, he's actually on the Democrat side right now because the Republicans wouldn't give him a podium.
One of the podiums.
A podium.
Yeah.
So those are all Democrats behind him, right?
What's the Democrat attack?
I guess like this doesn't look classy at all.
Well, what they're doing, they're trying to spin it.
Look, they don't have their act together, and they're just going to try to campaign off the fact that they're just out of whack.
They can't get their act together.
They can't get on the same page, and they're slowing down government.
They're shutting it down because of this nonsense.
That's how they're trying to spin it.
But it is...
The thing we all want.
I want us all to be on the same page.
We all want people...
That's what the Democrats have turned into.
That's what they're bragging about.
AOC said a couple days ago that the Democratic Party's running like a well-oiled machine.
Oh, no shit.
They're all in unison.
They're all in locks.
That's called being in lockstep.
She's not there bringing...
What a ruckus.
So listen to what he has to say.
Listen to that machine purr.
No clanking.
This is...
And...
You know, forced to vote made me...
I don't want to say bitter, but it made me cynical because I saw all these people just blatant...
The whole establishment lies.
So that...
So wait...
If you think pedophile wasn't bad, wait till you see what's coming next at this guy from the corporate media where they're calling him a terrorist.
Yeah.
They're saying that he's over...
I think there's going to be like terrorism charges brought against him for this.
Yeah, I bet you...
Because when you...
If you could charge him with terrorism, you don't have to...
You could just suspend his civil rights.
You don't have to give him a trial because when Barack Obama signed the ND 1021 and now they just...
Indefinite detention.
I bet he's going to get indefinite detention for this.
They've already been talking about the ethics committee coming back after him possibly, bringing up some charges.
Yes.
They've already kind of hinted at that.
The ethics committee.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What about the norms committee?
Yeah.
So...
And of course, everybody's going to spin this from MSNBC's cnn fox news i bet you even uh to the young turks and all those people that somehow they're not the First of all, I saw, there's so much I want to say about it.
But the weird thing is, is that the Democrats could have tried to actually extract something from McCarthy.
Yeah.
Why wouldn't they do that?
I don't think McCarthy was willing to make a deal.
Well, he probably wasn't willing to make a deal because of what Matt Gates said on Jake Tapper when he goes, well, no, if McCarthy is going to cut a side deal, and if the Democrats are going to, you know, make a deal with him, you know, then the Democrats will own him because I'm done owning him.
So he put him in a position where McCarthy probably couldn't go to the Democrats because Matt Gates called his bullshit on Jake Tapper.
So here's, here's some more.
I mean, this is Matt Goetz is inspiring.
And this is amazing.
This is exactly what we thought that AOC would do.
This is exactly what we thought Corey Bush would do, Jamal Bowman would do.
This is exactly what we thought they would all do.
And of course, they're making, they're trying to pretend like this is bad.
Yeah.
They're trying to pretend like Jimmy the optics.
Yeah.
Without the optics of it.
So they're going to get that Ukraine money come hell or high water.
And why do people give a shit about Kevin McCarthy?
The most, I mean, politics attracts mediocre people to begin with, but the most mediocre of people.
I thought he was a living nightmare that Kevin could never be the speaker, and that was our worst thing.
I don't understand what's happening.
I remember the fear of Kevin McCarthy because people brought up like, you're an idiot if you think you should force it to be.
Which it was a lie anyways, because he was never going to be a speaker when the Democrats had power.
When the Democrats had power, Jenny McCarthy wasn't the devil.
He couldn't even keep speakership when the Republicans had it.
So here's, let's, I forget, I don't know what this is, but let's, Matt Getz is on fire.
Let's play another one.
It is astonishing to hear any colleague give Speaker McCarthy credit for moving on to the single subject appropriations bills.
As you heard my colleague, Mr. Biggs say, that was never the plan from Speaker McCarthy.
Mr. Biggs from Sex in the City.
Exactly.
Is that Mr. Biggs?
He said, Mr. Bigg, my friend, Mr. Bigg.
I think he was talking about another congressional cover.
That would be exciting.
My colleague Mr. Biggs say, that was never the plan from Speaker McCarthy.
The week before we moved on to those single-subject appropriations bills, the plan was another CR.
He pitched a CR.
They tried to get us to vote for a CR.
And only when a brave few said, we are done governing by continuing resolution.
We are here to eulogize the era of continuing resolution.
We will not do it.
We will not pass it.
These bills can go.
The spending may rise and fall as the years pass.
But the notion that we're going to lump in the Department of Education and the Department of Labor with our military and our troops and our border patrol is fundamentally unserious.
And I would suggest chaotic.
We cannot do that.
It was only because we forced that to happen.
And by the way, if we continue with Speaker McCarthy, the appropriations process will go right back to what he wanted it to go back to.
Just a sideshow.
Just a puppet show.
Just something to keep the hamsters on the hamster wheel as they continue to back people up against a calendar, centralize power with the lobbyists and special interests that move all kind of money through the leadership.
And then that's how they get their way.
And that's why the American people have been getting screwed decade after decade.
And I'm not going to tolerate it anymore without a fight.
I reserve.
Wow.
It is astonishing.
Isn't that amazing, Kurt?
It's kind of mind-blowing.
And what's even more mind-blowing is to watch how the establishment media and the other politicians call this the bad thing.
He's cuckoo.
He's crazy.
This is what everybody should want.
This is certainly what the people of America want.
And they boo it.
Here's what Nico House is.
Not a single Democrat would ever hold Polt Pelosi accountable in a way that Goetz did to McCarthy.
Every self-proclaimed progressive in Congress should be embarrassed, of course.
Remember, and then there were people like this.
Even they slip.
This is when remember back then they were, he was trying to say that McCarthy could be force when you vote no.
What do you do?
Still, that's the classic.
He slipped when he was trying.
Oh, this is the best.
So he was trying to get them.
So when you force, I mean, when you vote no.
Oh, do you think you can go forces them back to the negotiate?
So I just said day after day, we are shown that force to vote was the correct strategy and AOC and the fraud squad turned on their base and sided with the establishment.
Imagine the energy, enthusiasm, and power to make demands that the left could have had if they were more like Matt Goetz and less like themselves.
Don't forget the liars of the lefty media who slandered us and lied to protect crooked politicians like Jake Uger and Ryan Grimm.
But Jimmy, you have to understand democracy itself is at stake.
Trump is talking about this is democracy.
Did you know Trump said something?
This is real democracy.
Executing General Miley, I heard from a thing.
This is real democracy.
This is real democracy.
And Jimmy, this is a vindication.
This is what the left has wanted the people to do.
And so the power has been concentrated in the speaker's hands.
And so he's breaking that up too.
Jimmy, it's no way to run a corporation.
But this is a real vindication for you, right?
This is forced to vote.
I mean, sometimes...
It's stunning.
It's like you got vindicated yesterday.
There should be a parade for me.
I mean, you know?
Honest to God.
I want to cover it up.
It's embarrassing.
Something you were right is embarrassing to me.
Single subject spending bills is something that real leftists want, right.
This is something real leftists want.
We don't want this stuff lumped together because this is how Washington continues to be Washington and special interests get their way.
They lump these bills together, but if you separate them, now you have to make the politicians accountable for their vote.
Now they can't say, well, yo, I voted for Ukraine spending because I wanted money for the border.
Or I, you know, I voted for money on the border because I wanted Ukraine spending.
You can't lump that stuff together and provide cover for them.
This is something real leftists want.
That's a good point, dude, because for once, instead of the well-oiled machine, it's them being how they do to society.
They don't want that being a well-oiled machine.
They want that non-stop chaos, riots, in fact.
So look at the hacks, the establishment hacks, how they're reacting.
So John K. Part, MSNBC host and hack of all hacks, says, remember, Nancy Pelosi also had a four-seat majority during her second stint as Speaker of the House.
So, oh, the squad, the squad are weak.
Centrists are bragging that progressives never seriously considered using their leverage to exact extract a silk.
That's what he's doing.
Yeah.
Say, we didn't.
Ah, look, we didn't do that.
Not only that, one of the best stock pickers in all of Congress.
So she makes the point.
Centrists are bragging that progressives never seriously considered using their leverage to extract a single thing from Nancy Pelosi that would materially benefit poor and working people during a pandemic when 15 million people had just lost their health insurance.
That's what he's bragging about.
Norms?
Yes, he's bragging about that the Democrats didn't do this, didn't do anything to that.
That's what he's bragging about.
How the Democrats run in lockstep unison.
That's what that with kindness knocked down the house.
Knocked down.
She has a documentary called Knock Down the House.
Yes.
So get this, what the Democrats are willing to vote for McCarthy.
House Democrats state that what their priorities and demands would be in order to support a GOP House member for speaker.
You want to know what they want?
First thing, money for Ukraine.
Oh, I was wondering when we would finally get to that.
The thing I care about.
That's what they want.
This is such a clown show.
And regular people, like I wanted to ask Mike, you know, Mike McRae writes those sketches, so he understands what the game that's really being played is in Ukraine.
Do regular people.
You need money for Ukraine to fight China.
What don't you get?
That's the first thing they want.
I'll read this to you.
It says, Goetz and seven other Republicans voted to remove McCarthy as speaker, along with 208 Democrats.
Democratic rep Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who's the Democratic leader in the House, he's what Nancy Pelosi used to be.
He said that any speaker the Democrats supported would have to agree to more funding for Ukraine.
It's the first thing he says.
I can't think of a single more important thing in my lifetime than paying more money to Ukraine.
Solidarity.
That more money, that more nothing.
Yeah.
People can't, people, just like Matt Goetz just said, but people can't afford houses.
People are American economy is not working for workers.
I look at them, if we don't do this, it does affect you.
Like, no, I know it's affecting me now.
What would you do?
Imagine if we spent all that money just on people here in America.
just spend it on drugs.
Yeah.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

This woman, Mary Catherine Hamm, she went on Bill Maher, I guess, and Sam Harris is still allowed in polite society because he lied on the behalf of the polite society.
He was on board.
He was on all the stuff he said was at the behest of the establishment and big pharma.
And so that's why he's still allowed on HBO.
That's why.
Of course, it's called social norms.
What's so hard about, you know?
So watch this.
So who is she?
She is an American journalist.
She's a contributing editor to Town Hall magazine, a writer for the Federalist, a senior contributor, and an editor for Hot Air.
So how the hell.
So listen to this Trump derangement.
They still.
So let's see Sam Harris how calm his bad points are.
Yeah.
So if you, I only have a short clip here.
I don't have, I don't know.
I don't think I have him.
The original sin from both media and the intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement is the Russiagate stuff.
And the reason that so many in the party, and I'm here as the translator because I'm not one of them, but so many in the party accept so much of Donald Trump's behavior is because the Russia stuff was a lie.
No, it wasn't all a lie.
It was not all a lie.
You guys have.
It was all a lie.
It knows all.
But with the Mueller report, it concluded that there was no, nobody.
They had a phone tap on everybody in Donald Trump's campaign.
They had a phone tap on everybody, and they couldn't find a crime, and they couldn't find collusion.
They couldn't find anything.
It's actually shocking.
It is shocking.
Look at this.
It's like a creationist.
And so then that after that, then there was the, what's the last report?
Steele dossier.
No, no, no, no.
The Mueller report?
The Mueller, and then I'm blanking on.
Oh, the one about how the lawyer went and planted this.
No, the last one from the Department of Justice.
Why can't I think of the because there's a lot of them?
This is my brain fog from the marijuana withdrawal.
The last report that just came out from the Durham Report.
Ah, my bad.
The Durham Report.
And I was telling, I would tell, so I would tell people about it.
So the Durham Report looked in, it was like a three-year investigation into the and exposed that the FBI and Barack Obama and the CIA, they all knew that it was a hoax, Russia Gate, that was start because it was started by the Clinton campaign and the FBI.
They all knew this.
They told Barack Obama this.
And I tell people, regular people, like when I go to comedy clubs and other comedians, I go, yeah, the Durham Report.
They go, okay, Jimmy, what is this thing, the Durham Report?
And how do you know about it?
That's what they say.
Because of course they never heard about it because the news media doesn't want you to know about it.
They wanted you to know about the Steel dossier, which was 100% made up.
Well, in fairness, not even the great Sam Harris knows about it.
By the way, Trump is suing Christopher Steele now for the Steel dossier.
He's suing him.
So this woman comes on and she's telling the truth to someone like Sam Harris, and who if he talks softer, that it makes it seem like he's right.
And he's smarter than you because he can talk even softer.
Just like just like my favorite show, though, too, Michaels.
Do you have his where he goes, well, it wasn't illegal, but social norms.
Well, I don't know.
Let's watch.
I don't know what.
The original sin from both media and the intelligence agencies and federal law enforcement is the Russia Gate stuff.
And the reason that so many in the party, and I'm here as the translator because I'm not one of them, but so many in the party accept so much of Donald Trump's behavior is because the Russia stuff was a lie.
No, it was.
Well, it wasn't all a lie.
It's not all a lie.
You guys have been.
I like how they go, was it?
Yeah, most of it was a lie.
A lie.
Not it was wrong, but yeah, most of it was a lie.
Yes.
What?
You're not embarrassed that most of Russia, even by your own standard, most of Russia Gate was a lie.
Even you're not embarrassed.
Some of it might have been true.
What?
So here we go.
Are you putting a steel dossier on me?
No, no, no.
Some of the steel dossier was true.
So now Sam Harris goes, that was a lie.
And then we go, no, no, no.
It was true.
So you guys, this is unlike.
Bill Maher's never heard of clash waiver with the WEF.
Why is that?
I bet.
We did Mueller report for three years.
Yes, and Mueller never said he was innocent.
And the whole time, I'm like, guys, I don't think he's a Russian plan.
He's innocent.
And everyone.
And Mueller never said that.
So they just flip criminal justice on its head.
So when someone isn't charged with a crime, they go, well, they didn't say he didn't do it.
And that democracy is at stake.
That democracy's at stake.
Democracy's at stake.
By authoritarianism.
Do you see the president?
And I don't have the vitriol that I used to have for Bill Maher because I think most of that was jealousy.
But now it's just sad.
It's just, we know what it's actually scary.
Like, do you get scared that we, like, I'm afraid I might turn into that?
Like, I used to always say, I can't wait to sell out and all that.
So I'm like, but like, what if you just slit?
Like, he doesn't know he's being this wrong.
All these people.
Sam Harris does.
Yeah, when you get hot to a high school.
He's just a liar.
No, I think he's a conscious liar, Sam Harris, because he is.
There's no way.
But I think Bill Maher is actually duped.
He literally is going to argue for you.
You already know all the people.
So there's that saying from Carl Sagan, once you've been bamboozled long enough, you tend to just discard any evidence against the bamboozlement to the point where you don't even want to fucking know.
And that's what this is.
So I don't want to stop anymore.
Let's see how much we have.
Sienna said is looking at me like I'm crazy.
And at the end, we get to not much there there.
No, there was quite a bit there.
It was not there.
There was collusion we never had before.
It was unprecedented.
What?
What?
What was they just?
Okay.
President would do that.
He just did it in public because he's insane.
You do know.
No, I do think.
So if he did it and it was unprecedented and it was in public, why wasn't he charged with a crime by Mueller?
Why?
If it was so blatant and so important.
So he didn't even hide it.
And you still couldn't charge him with the crime?
Bill said, I think what he's referring to is Trump saying, Russia, please hack him.
Oh, that.
He's like, I swear to God.
Maybe they can find their emails.
That thing.
Russia wasn't.
He would not have maybe done it.
Unless Trump said that out loud.
They wouldn't have done it.
I swear to God, I think he's saying that.
That is what he's referring to.
Bandages are being insane.
Most of it, probably none of it was a reason.
This was always David Frum's line.
Everything he's doing is in plain view.
David Frum is not illegal.
He's just violating every political norm we have.
That's what I'm talking about.
No, I've been babbling that because he said it, the great Samuel Harris.
So David Frum, he said the Iraq war was a success.
Yes, David Frum, who gave us the access of evil and lied about us into a war.
David Frum, this is who they're quoting.
Iraq war war pigs.
This is who they're for.
David Frum, who correct me if I'm wrong, wrote a book about how smart George W. Bush was.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
Boy's a great painter.
This is amazing.
This is like, this is still going on.
So wait, Mueller.
Do you really think that they let a guy who was actively colluding with a foreign enemy?
They let him be fucking president for five seconds.
If a guy was active, but you know who's actually colluding with a foreign country to screw America?
The whole Congress, both political parties And the oligarchy that runs this country.
That's who's actually colluding with other countries to screw over America.
Turned out it wasn't Donald Trump.
It's every one of his accusers.
This is unbelievable.
This is still going on.
After the Durham report, after the...
It just doesn't matter.
But look, there's still...
It wasn't all a lie.
There was some stuff they did.
He just did it out loud, like no one's ever done it.
Mueller didn't say he was innocent.
And no, none of it was illegal.
What?
So what do you say he's innocent of violating norms?
Right.
Is that they just said nothing he did was illegal.
It just violated norms.
So apparently being a traitor and colluding with a foreign government against your own people, that's not a, of course that's illegal.
He didn't do it.
That's why.
Oh, Russia didn't hack Hillary's emails, by the way.
And it's kind of a moot point.
And Russia did not.
Because it wasn't Russia who did that.
It wasn't Russia who did that.
And now the CIA is keeping Seth Rich's computer locked up for 65 years.
I don't know who did it.
I bet it was Russia.
We debunked that on our show, Kurt, before I ever met you.
I had Bill Binney on this show, and he talked about how that could have been.
And we're the first show to do it, I think.
So I'll take the credit.
See you on 20 years usually you get to know all the lie, but you usually for the average crimes, 20 years.
These are all 65 and up years hidden crimes.
So like Bill Maher doesn't have a staff that could, someone who does, no, some nerd who does research on the internet.
Like, no, it turns out this is all a scam.
Well, like they don't care.
I can do it.
I'm guessing his staff is not as dilated with Bill Maher at the moment.
There were things that were illegal, like using the FISA court to spy on American citizens in ways that they should not have done.
That wasn't him.
Yeah, the actual illegal things that were done weren't done by Trump.
They were done by the FBI.
That's who was doing the illegal things.
They lied 17 times that I know about.
They lied 17 times to the FISA court so they could get a phone tap on Donald Trump and they still couldn't get a crime.
They changed an email too, right?
Remember, I can't remember the guy who got charged.
They changed an email so they can obtain these.
Here's political norms.
Normally, we do all that whenever we want.
You don't get to.
And you don't get to.
And the fact that the Hillary Clinton campaign was partially responsible for funding this dossier, which partially came from a wait for Russian disinformation.
Yes.
It was literally.
And it started this cycle of media circle jerk.
And then we had four years of that.
It's not exactly everything they said it was, but it was not nothing.
The standard of evidence used for the Russia thing for three, four years versus the standard of evidence used now in media for Biden and Hunter Biden's shenanigans and fairly obvious influence peddling is worlds apart.
Worlds apart.
And I would just like to deserve fairness in how these two people are treated.
They do not get it and they sometimes don't get it from law enforcement.
And here's the problem.
A bunch of people, including in the justice system, looked at Trump and said, he's going to bust all the norms.
And you know what we need to do?
Bust all the norms to stop him.
And that is very, very unfortunate.
Oh.
Oh.
No, not bust norms.
Break the law over and over again.
That's right.
They broke the law.
We got to go way farther than busting the norms.
And so here is here.
Remember, we had, again, my withdrawal fog.
We had this gentleman on the show to talk about mass formation psychosis.
And he's going to explain what you just saw from Bill Maher, Sam Harris, and their audience.
So watch this.
It's extremely hard to wake someone up who is in the process of mass formation.
But Gustave Le Bon, I don't know if you're familiar with Gustave Le Bon.
He wrote a very important book on mass formation in the 19th century, The Psychology of the Crowns, it was called.
And he describes already there that if the people who are not in the mass formation try to wake up the people who are in a mass formation, then they will be confronted probably with failure.
They will be confronted with the fact that...
I've experienced this with Syria.
I've experienced this with lockdowns, with COVID, with mandates, with vaccines.
I've experienced, I'll try to wake the people up from this and they call you crazy, but at least some of my comedian friends with RussiaGate said to me, Jimmy, how did you know he wouldn't get indicted?
Jimmy, how did you know when the Mueller report came out?
How did you know?
I looked into my past ball of the things that happened.
I don't, well, what I do is I don't think that what they're telling me on MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, and the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, I don't think that's the real because it's not.
That's propaganda.
It's owned by a handful of billionaires that run the world and don't care about this country and certainly don't care about you.
So everything you're seeing pretty much is propaganda.
But one side must be the good one, though, right?
So you're unable to wake up the masses, but he says, nevertheless, it is extremely important to continue to speak out.
Because if people continue to speak out, the hypnosis might become less deep and it will become less deep.
Gustave Le Bon presents several historical examples of situations in which people who were awake continued to speak out and prevented the masses from committing atrocities because that's typically what masses do.
Because one function of the mass formation is the satisfaction of all this frustration and aggression.
You know, the fourth condition.
Masses typically have the inclination to show the tendency to commit atrocities.
And they typically do it being convinced that they perform an almost sacral pledge, That they do something that is really their duty.
And that has to do with the fact that people in mass formation are convinced that what they do is for the greater good, for the well-being of the collective.
But they forget, of course, that it is for the well-being of a certain collective and at the disadvantage of another part of the population.
But anyway, so it's hard to make the masses up.
The only thing, but if you continue to speak, the 30% of the population who is really into the process of mass formation, you will make the hypnosis less deep in this part of the population and you might prevent the masses from committing atrocities.
So it's extremely important to continue to speak up.
And so that's what we're doing at this show.
And I had people tell me at the beginning of COVID, you're not a doctor, and you shouldn't talk about it because you're not a doctor.
Also, they wouldn't let your doctor talk about it.
That's right.
He's not my doctor.
So, and I had to explain to people, people who I know for years, that what I do an independent news show, and what I have to look at whatever the establishment, whatever the narrative is, whatever the status quo is, and I have to find out where they're lying.
And they were lying about everything when it comes to COVID.
And those people still don't care that they were lied to about COVID.
They still don't care.
Fascism came to visit your backyard and you didn't care.
And you don't care to know.
And that's what this.
So this is so Russia Gate, the Syrian war, just like Iraq, and COVID, mass formation psychosis.
And you see it on display with Sam Harris has it on both things.
At least Bill Maher pushed back against COVID.
Well, okay.
He pushed back.
So he, but Sam Harris couldn't.
I think his job is as like a maintenance man of the mass formation psychosis because I just watched was Bill Maher saying absolute dippy parrot, like parrotings thing, you know, lines you've heard.
Boop, boop, boop, boop.
He did all the lines.
Then Sam Harris conceded her points to her.
Yes.
Bill Maher.
Now, as soon as I heard that and went like that, if I, Bill Maher should have done the same thing.
Yeah.
But Bill Maher was so, he's so adopted, wake up and, and we're protecting that.
He was in the corner.
No, it was, he didn't say he was innocent.
He was doing that.
Yeah.
While Sam Harris acknowledges her point and totally disavow, makes the whole thing non-valid that Bill Maher thinks.
Yes.
Like his job is to do that.
Just to put her off of him.
Okay.
And go and go, no, but norms, like some stupid moving the goalpost thing that you're supposed to, when all else fails, you do that.
that was remarkable.
Just jaw dropping.
I think he's a pro now.
And, and it makes me actually, you know, I, I would say I feel sad for, for Bill Maher, but I feel sadder for the country.
That there's a guy like that who has a platform like that, who could actually make a real difference.
And I think he did good work with COVID.
God's always good on free speech.
I always give it to him.
I always give it to him.
And he's good.
But, but to, just to be this caught up like this, it's a real tragedy, actually.
It's like one of your older relatives that are like, it's just, a Fox or an MS. If they want to believe something, right?
If they want to believe something, they're going to believe it.
So even, it's like that dumb and dumber.
So you're still saying there's a chance.
One in a million, right?
That's where they're at.
And they're holding on to that.
So, and they're doing that when it comes to the situation, Russiagate.
Oh, so it's like one in a million that Donald Trump works with the, with the Russians there after all the evidence we've seen.
But you're still saying there's a chance.
I remember when it came to the elections, we were using this term.
There were so many of these anomalies, but what were people saying that wanted to believe that election?
Oh, so you're still saying there's a chance because anomaly, you know what I'm saying?
So we had to go to impossibilities, you know, mathematical, Christian apologetics.
We couldn't use the term anomalies because people were still going.
So you're still saying there's a chance.
It's like when you want to believe something, you're going to believe it despite all the evidence against what you already believe.
Well, not only is there a chance, if enough of you do it, you can make it true.
Yes.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who is this?
Hi there, Jimmy.
This is George Clooney, the Cloone.
Oh, clones.
That's right.
It is GC on the phone.
Same initials as gentlemen's quarterly.
not a coincidence.
And I am sipping on some of my award winning tequila, wearing a tuxedo for no reason with the tie untied.
And I thought, Hey, let's call Jimmy door.
Well, I'm very flattered, George.
Very understandable.
How are you, baby?
I'm great.
Actually, me and Steph just got back from a little bit of a nice vacation.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Travel is important.
I always say it truly restores the soul.
So where did you go?
Lake Michigan or one of its many inlets?
See a nice estuary?
No, George, we got back from Italy where we were at Lake Como, actually.
Shut the front door.
Get out.
Stand up and exit the room and open the windows for a cross breeze.
You gotta be kidding me.
Nope.
I was just there too, baby.
Me and my entire fam at my villa.
Why didn't you come by?
I don't know.
I guess I just didn't feel comfortable showing up uninvited to George Clooney's Italian lakeside villa.
well that was probably smart it's guarded like don chicio's villain the godfather orders to shoot on site but you should have called okay next time yes please do we could have so much fun just good times yeah couple of cool cats having the gronies Yeah.
Talking about that sushi place in the valley we both like.
We could play pranks.
On who I don't know, each other.
Mike Butler, he can't do anything about it.
Just all sorts of gags, pranks, and boners.
You can fuck my wife As a girl As a prank.
Thanks, George.
I have my own wife.
Well, I was working up to that.
No, George, moving on.
I think maybe she should have some say in the matter.
It's the...
I think she should have some say in the matter.
We're not swingers, George.
Anyway, what did you want to talk about?
Glad you asked, Jimmy.
I have some grave concerns.
About what?
I'll tell you about what.
AI.
I think I'm saying that right.
I don't know if it's the letters A-I or like A. It's AI, George.
Right, okay.
Well, anyway, with this thing, they can now take a bunch of videos of a cat and audio of a cat and then make a totally fake video of that cat with that cat saying something that cat never said in the first place.
Like, how do you know if that's really the cat?
Yes, it's concerning.
And as usual, this hits one particular group of people, the hardest actors.
Tom Hanks, my buddy Tom, recently discovered that there's some commercial out there where he's endorsing some local dentist office or some shit, like Hanky, whatever, stoop that low.
Is this your main concern here?
Yes, making it look like top-shelf actors are selling out.
If you ever hear my real voice in a commercial, maybe it's going to be a Jaguar or a Lexus.
But if you hear my voice for a Jaguar or Lexus dealership in Dayton, Ohio, baby girl, that is a deep fake.
Those are not the tunes of cloons.
Okay, I'll make a note of that.
Obviously, once you discover it, you can get a yank, but it's going to be like playing whack-a-mole with this nerdy shit.
And it's always fucking nerds.
They cause all the problems.
They couldn't get laid in high school, so they dedicate all their intellect to making life harder for those of us who did.
I hear you, George.
I mean, how do you know if you're talking to the real George Clooney right now?
Or how do I really know that's really J to the D on the other line?
It's me, I swear.
Wait till they start making AI deep fakes of you, my friend.
Videos of you saying crazy shit, wearing an iHeart Dr. Fauci shirt, and playing pickleball with Cheng Uger.
My enemies probably wouldn't try.
Well, we'll have to deal with these things as they occur, George.
Yeah, I guess.
I just don't know what's real and what's not.
This affects the very fabric of reality.
Although the upside is, me or you or anyone could say some really crazy shit for real and then just claim it's AI if we get in trouble.
Plausible deniability.
I guess that's one way to look at it.
Did that cat really say that?
Or is it a deep fake made to look like that cat said that?
Or did the cat say that, wanting people to think it was a deep fake?
And in this case, I'm talking about an actual cat.
That's how crazy it's going to get.
Let's hope not.
Well, Jim Jam, it's just one more thing for my deep mind to contemplate, which I will do as I stare out onto Lake Como at dusk.
Really heavy thinking here.
I'm going to have to smart my way through this.
So I'll let you go, but man, I wish you were here.
Me too.
Next time.
Okay, sounds good, old friend.
And, you know, just give some thought to what I was talking about earlier.
No, no.
