Hey, I'll see you on tour in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Grand Rapids in Chicago.
It's stand-up and a live panel show.
Go to jimmydoor.com for a link for tickets and make sure you go to jimmydoor.com.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, it's Jake Tamperer from the League with Jake Tamper on CNN.
And I might add, co-moderator of the first presidential debate of 2024 on CNN.
Hey, Jake, and thanks for your resume, as always.
Little known fact, you were in my dream two nights ago.
It was amazing.
Jake Tapp, we were at the convention.
Jake Tap, you were making fun of me in front of people, and I couldn't think of a comeback.
I didn't think it either, but that was really frightening.
I talked about it with my shrink.
Anyway, what are you up to?
Oh, just doing a little light dusting on my mantelpiece, making a nice little space there, you know, just in case.
Just in case what?
In case it's me.
Oh, Jimmy, the Bulit surprise has to go to somebody.
Jesus.
And believe me, the next one is going to whoever first broke the biggest story of the decade.
President Joe Biden is not mentally fit to be president.
Jimmy, until just the other day, the American people had no idea what was going on.
They were living in a blissful unreality.
They thought their president was of sound mind and good health and fully prepared not only to survive the rigors of another presidential campaign, but serve out a second term into his mid-80s.
Yeah, actually, I didn't think many people thought that at all.
Counterpoint, everyone thought that.
Until some brave reporters, including yours truly, decided to investigate the situation, apply journalistic rigor by watching video and audio footage freely available to everyone on the planet, and coming to the conclusion, man, this guy is really old and not up to the task.
And bravely sharing that conclusion with the nation.
Yeah, that must have taken a lot of courage there.
Sorry to break this to you, Jake, but we've been saying this exact thing on our show for about four years.
Okay, fine, but you don't count.
You're not like, you know, CNN or ABC.
Fox News has been running these embarrassing clips of Biden for way longer than you have.
If this is a story, then they broke it long before you guys.
No, no, they were just airing damning clips of the sitting U.S. president for political reasons to make him look bad.
I was reporting on the actual state of affairs.
There is a huge difference.
Yeah, that makes zero sense, Jake.
Basically, what I'm saying is whoever breaks the story on CNN or other legitimate news source is the one who gets the credit.
Whoever talks about that story before that point is just some crank.
So, by extension, I broke the story and informed the public.
Whoever thought Biden was unqualified before that was uninformed.
See?
Yeah, this is some really fuzzy logic there, Jake.
Hey, by the way, hold on.
I'm getting another call.
Hello, Jimmy Dorso.
Jimmy speaking.
Jimmy, this is David Axelrod.
I'm...
I'm I'm calling here to basically agree with what Jake is saying because there is a parallel situation within the political class, including people in office and pundits such as myself who appear on these news programs.
Oh, yeah.
Go on.
I don't think there's any secret as to the collusion, information sharing and whatnot between the political and media classes.
And you see that right now.
Not only are journalists like Jake feeling like the coast is clear now.
Yeah, started addressing Joe Biden's obvious competency concerns very bravely, I might add.
Oh, absolutely.
It takes a lot of courage, Jake, to point at a picture of a frog and say frog.
But, you know, Jimmy, you're starting to see that also with politicians and people like me.
The coast is clear, for lack of a better phrase, now to voice concerns about President Biden.
Yes, David Axelrod, we are seeing pundits and politicians suddenly begin to voice concern about even Jon Stewart got the okay.
Yeah.
To talk about Biden's fitness for a second term.
And we all know Jon Stewart's a very good boy.
And so we all know that the donor class is saying it's okay to do that.
That's why Jon Stewart's.
Colbert did it.
Even Colbert did it.
So again, why just now when this problem has been obvious for some time?
Well, Jimmy, I'm actually going to push back on that.
It wasn't obvious before establishment media and political operatives publicly pointed it out.
Before that, it was basically a conspiracy theory, much in line with what Jake said earlier.
See?
But this is ridiculous.
I mean, I don't understand.
How does this willful obfuscation help the Democratic Party in any way?
Well, Jimmy, okay, for a moment, let's take off our partisan hats and put on our analyst hats.
I think I have mine right here.
Okay.
If you look at the situation among elected officials, you have a large number of Democratic voters who want to see someone else other than Biden as the nominee.
And then you have low-level politicians, your Lloyd Doggetts and whatnot, who have actively called for him to bow out.
Bravely.
No.
Consequences for them for doing so.
But move up the chain, the message gets More and more vague.
Pelosi didn't fully call for him to step down, but made it seem like that might be on her mind.
But Schumer, Speaker Jeffries, they're all in with Biden.
That's how the Democratic Party operates.
The people want one thing, the voters.
Some members of Congress try to represent that, but the party elite says we know better and ignore the will of the people.
Wow, you're absolutely right.
Are you going to report on that, Jake?
That seems like something I would get in trouble for saying.
Yeah, you might want to leave that one to me, Jake, if you ever want to have Chuck Schumer on your show ever again.
Boy, do I. So you're saying no matter how intense the ground squell, the ground swell, the Democratic elites will never, ever allow Biden to be replaced?
If they did, Jimmy, I wouldn't recognize the Democratic Party anymore.
I see.
Don't they realize this basically guarantees a Trump victory?
Oh, absolutely.
They're not morons.
But better have another four years of Trump than establish a president whereby the Democratic party elite actually listens to the demands of the Democratic base.
That's a very, very dark path they desperately want to avoid.
Oh my God, this is too real.
Hey, Jimmy, is this one of those sketches that makes you mad?
Yes.
Yes, Jake Tapper from Lead on CNN.
Yes, it is.
And you know what?
I can't take it anymore.
I'm hanging up on both of you gentlemen, and I've had enough, and my blood pressure is spiking.
you you Here is a tweet that I found from someone who goes by useless tree.
It says, I live in a city where Marine One used to land George W and Obama for fundraisers.
I witnessed it firsthand three times.
The Secret Service would search every newspaper stand, put tarps over fences, have snipers on the roofs of adjacent apartment buildings, have snipers looking at windows of adjacent apartment buildings, all for a Marine One landing, walk to the limo and departure of a motorcade that took less than five minutes.
They would tow all the cars from the adjacent lot.
They would sweep the street for a mile for bombs the previous day.
For there not to be a Secret Service agent on the roof is a massive tell.
The rest of the story is even worse.
So here, I want to, so that there's no doubt that this guy being able to get on a roof within 100 yards or 150 yards of the president is crazy that he was allowed to get on that roof.
But even worse, even worse, I mean, crazy or suspicious or telling.
Even worse that there were people who saw this guy do that.
Regular people, multiple regular people, not just one.
And they were trying to signal the police.
And here's one of those guys right here.
Here's one of those guys.
You weren't inside the event.
Nope, but you were just outside.
Tell us what yes.
So we had a party here all day.
You can see behind us at the Brinkles Farming Greenhouse here.
We had a party.
And we all decided, hey, you know, when we hear Trump up there, we're going to walk up through the field, stand by the trees up there under the shade and watch the listen to the rally, right?
We couldn't see him, but we could hear him.
So we walked up and probably five to seven minutes of Trump speaking.
I'm estimating here.
I have no idea, you know.
But we noticed the guy crawling, army, you know, bear crawling up the roof of the building beside us, 50 feet away from us.
So we're standing there, you know, we're pointing, we're pointing at the guy crawling up the roof.
And he had a gun, right?
He had a rifle.
We could clearly see him with a rifle.
Absolutely.
We're pointing at him.
The police are down there running around on the ground.
We're like, hey, man, there's a guy on the roof with a rifle.
And the police were like, huh, what?
You know, like, like they didn't know what was going on.
You know, we're like, hey, right here on the roof, we can see him from right here.
We see him.
You know, he's crawling.
And next thing you know, I'm like, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, why is Trump still speaking?
Why have they not pulled him off the stage?
I'm standing there pointing at him for, you know, two or three minutes.
Secret Service is looking at us from the top of the barn.
I'm pointing at that roof, just standing there like this.
And next thing you know, five shots ring out.
So you're certain that the shots came from not going on the roof.
100%.
100%.
And he was up there for a couple of minutes.
He was up there for a couple of minutes.
Absolutely.
At least three to four minutes.
And you were telling police in the secret service.
We were telling the police, we were pointing at him for the secret service who were looking at us from the top of the barn.
They were looking at us the whole time when we were standing by that tree.
So that's very suspicious and suspect.
And it's beyond suspicious, put it that way.
That regular guy who is close enough, he wants to hear the speech.
So he's close enough where he could hear the speech.
And the Secret Service don't have the roof he's standing next to in surveillance.
Of course, they have drones.
Of course, they have sharpshooters everywhere.
And this guy got a ladder.
And not only did he go up to one roof, but apparently he jumped onto another.
Listen to what this guy says.
As Trump started, I noticed two officers that were looking for something or somebody.
So I was looking around myself and seen a guy on top of one of the buildings go in between one building to the next and went and told the officer that he was up there.
And when I went back to my spot, I heard that people could still see the person from where they were standing.
So I checked that out and I went and went back to tell the officer that if he came over there, he could see them.
And when I turned my backs when the shots, when the shots started, and then it was, it took me a second or two to figure out exactly what it was.
And then it was just getting out of there and helping helping some other person out with her child.
And we got out and that was, that was the end of that.
And I went and left.
And that was all.
So the viewers have some perspective.
Behind us, okay, is the American Glass Research Company.
Okay.
Can you kind of describe the building behind us, the tan building right there?
Can you take a look at it?
And then where was the shooter exactly?
There's more buildings behind the tan building that we can see.
And we were back there and there's two buildings, two or three buildings behind that.
And he was on both of them.
I assume both of them when he went on that small section from one to the other.
And that was that was where he, where I last saw him was the end of his day.
So this man was able to basically climb to the next building.
And you told law enforcement, hey, there's a guy over there.
Correct.
I don't know how he got up there.
I don't know any of that, but I definitely saw him up there.
And that was all I know.
Seems deep staged.
Anyway, to coin of term.
And here's one more piece of info.
A source familiar with Trump's security detail tells the Federalists that the former and future president's detail had been asking for beefed up protection and resources for weeks, but has been rebuffed time and time again by Biden's Department of Homeland Security.
The DHS, which oversees Secret Service Protected Detail, wasn't responsive to those requests for more resources.
Was Biden's regime behind the attack or did it deliberately do everything it could to allow it to happen developing?
So that's from the Federalist.
So I'll just throw it to you, too.
That seems to me beyond suspicious.
The fact that multiple civilians saw a guy climbing on roofs with a, and multiple roofs, by the way, with a rifle, and he used a ladder to get up there.
And they were pointing, telling cops, trying to tell the Secret Service, you know, they have drones.
You know, they're supposed to have every rooftop covered and window.
And somehow for minutes and minutes, they missed it.
They didn't, until the guy shot.
Let me throw it to you.
Well, they should not only have them surveilled, but they should have them physically covered in a complex like that.
Why isn't there a Secret Service body on every roof?
It's not like there are that many buildings.
It's like in the middle of a city where there's 50 buildings surrounding a small park that you have to cover.
You're talking about out in a rural area, a few handful of buildings.
If you look at the map, the building that the shooter was on was 150 yards from the stage with a clear, unobstructed view.
How could you only have one guy on one roof near there?
It doesn't make sense.
You've got to have a body on every roof, every single roof.
I grew up in Newburgh, New York.
Our airport is Stewart Airport, which also has an Air Force base in it.
So every couple of years, the president would fly in if they're doing an event at West Point or in the Hudson Valley or upstate New York.
And every time the president flew in, the roads were closed for miles in every direction.
You couldn't drive a car within a mile of that motorcade.
So the idea that this guy could climb up, and we don't know, did he get there through a ladder?
Did he go inside the building and access the roof from the inside?
The idea that he could get up there and not only are there no bodies on each of these roofs, what, there's no eyes on him until a few minutes before.
It makes no sense.
It makes absolutely no sense.
Yeah, guess which story the media is not reporting on?
Guess what clips you're really not seeing?
What this clip?
You mean they're not reporting on this, these clips that I just showed you?
You're not seeing a lot about how many witnesses are coming out and saying that they saw this.
They're trying to orient it towards, well, you know, Trump kind of brought this on himself with this pile of rhetoric.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Who was that?
Who said that?
You said that to me, Kate?
Well, ABC, George Stephanopoulos, and whoever the blonde woman is there who are talking about it.
Yeah, I forget her name.
Yeah, they were trying to say he had created the atmosphere.
He created the atmosphere.
Well, look, this is something.
And if you see what the lib conspiracy theory that they came up with like 10 minutes later, and it's almost universal.
It's insane.
It's truly blue and on.
Oh, it was staged.
It was staged.
Why would he stage this?
He's burying Biden.
Biden is demented.
His brains are leaking out of his ears.
What would his motive be?
And besides that, what kind of a shot would the guy have to be?
Would you trust somebody to just shoot your ear from that distance as a taunt?
So this is very akin to when Assad, Bashar al-Assad, was winning the war in Syria, and then he all of a sudden decided to use chemical weapons.
The one thing that would trigger the United States to bomb him, all of a sudden, which only he only killed about 50 people with the chemical weapons, which he could have done with bullets and bombs anyway.
So this is a very, that theory sounds much like this.
Oh, Trump stayed.
That's amazing that they're saying that Trump staged it.
But let me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That is the same thing I'm seeing from Lib Chatter.
So here is, we're going to get to that in a second, but here, so here, these guys were on the roof next to Trump, and they're looking directly at where that building is.
And they, and they missed, they missed it.
Even though there's people screaming and yelling, and they don't go, they don't go cold bread, get the president down.
That's their whole training.
Their whole training is to be scanning for any danger.
And the people on the ground saw it and you didn't.
Yeah, no, that's very here's what Thomas Massey said: he said the same bureau that investigated the Las Vegas shooting and the January 6th pipe bombs is now investigating the attempted assassination of Trump.
This is also the same bureau that raided Mar-a-Largo.
I'm sure they'll get to the bottom of this soon.
And so here I'll show a little bit more.
New video shows the moments before shots were fired with witnesses screaming that a man has a gun, followed by rapid gunfire breaking out with Donald Trump speaking during the rally.
So there's people, regular people spot this guy.
You're telling me the Secret Service sharpshooters didn't spot this guy.
They have binoculars.
They have drone coverage.
They are trained to do this.
This is all they're doing.
These people aren't looking out for a sharpshooter.
They're looking at the president and they see it and they're screaming and nothing happens.
Well, this is what I'm saying, Jimmy.
Like, they almost have to suppress this.
They have to.
I would be shocked, shocked if the media gives this any meaningful coverage.
The only way they will cover it is if conservative media makes it impossible to ignore.
Sometimes they're able to force the mainstream media to cover something like that, but then they'll call it a conspiracy theory because once you acknowledge this, once you pull at that thread, the whole thing unravels.
Once you concede that this is the deep state trying to take out Trump, it undermines their entire narrative about this election.
Well, the Republicans in the House have the power to investigate the Secret Service, which apparently they're going to do.
So that will force some sort of reckoning, perhaps.
But I see this video that's next queued up.
So as you can see in this video, they do have eyes on the shooter and they seem to wait for him to fire a shot before they fire it back.
So let's watch.
So here it is.
This is seven minutes and 21 seconds before the shot.
So they're looking right at where that guy is or where that guy is going to appear.
They got binoculars.
They're aimed towards that guy.
There's not one guy looking that way and one guy looking the other way.
They're both looking right at where that guy is.
Okay.
That's when I left office.
That was the lowest.
And this is 42 seconds before.
They're down.
They're already looking through their scopes.
They see him.
So it seems like they must see him.
They got to see him.
Yeah.
There's no question.
And so at least 42 seconds before they're looking through their scopes, it appears to everybody that they already see this guy.
Now, I don't know what the protocol is, but you would think the protocol is code red, get the president off the stage.
You would think that's what the, you'd think that's what the protocol is.
We see a guy with a rifle on a roof.
So it looks like they see him.
Let's watch.
And that comes right from the government services.
Comes right out of Border Patrol.
Take a look at that.
So that arrow is the lowest amount of illegal immigration ever in recorded history into our country.
And then the worst president in the history of our country took over.
And look what happened to our country.
Probably 20 million people.
And you know, that's a little bit old, that chart.
That chart's a couple of months old.
And if you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.
And they wait till they hear.
So I think I can show this on YouTube because I'm not showing Trump getting shot.
I'm just all you can do is you hear it.
So you hear, I'm not showing violence.
You know, I don't think you're allowed to do that, right?
Well, thanks for the heads up because we were going to show it later.
Now we won't.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I mean, I don't know.
They're showing it all over A. Kate's theory is because of the nature of that as being like not showing the Lincoln assassination out of you.
It's such a significant news event.
Okay.
If he got killed, you probably couldn't, but yeah.
Okay, so here, so here's the way of flesh work.
So they didn't take the shot.
It seems, it appears.
It appears they got the guy.
They're looking through their scopes at the guy.
They don't take the shot until after the guy gets five shots off.
By the way, I had seen someone tweet out that they were heroes.
I wouldn't call the Secret Service heroes on that day.
There's a guy on a roof 150 yards away from the president or former president where there's only a handful of buildings and roofs around, and they don't get to him until he gets off five shot.
Everybody else sees the guy.
Everybody else saw the guy except the people that protect the president.
Those are not heroes.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
So here's one more.
Check out this angle.
Counter snipers see something and engage.
So here they are.
And you know, that's a little bit old.
If you want to really see something that said, take a look at what happened.
So that's super sus.

Here's what's even more fishy.
Tucker Carlson was ridiculed six months ago.
This is what Tucker Carlson said six months ago.
They called him names.
He won anyway.
They impeached him twice on ridiculous pretenses.
They fabricated a lot about what happened on January 6th in order to impeach him again.
It didn't work.
He came back.
Then they indicted him.
It didn't work.
He became more popular.
Then they indicted him three more times.
And every single time his popularity rose.
So if you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment.
Now you go to indictment and none of them work.
What's next?
I mean, you know, graph it out, man.
We're speeding toward assassination, obviously.
And no one will say that, but I don't know how you can reach that conclusion.
You know what I mean?
Like, they have decided permanent Washington.
Both parties have decided that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them, they just can't have him.
So that's quite prescient of Tucker Carlson, who's been around politics his entire life.
And of course, he was immediately called a nut job.
Tucker Carlson claims we're speeding toward assassination of Trump, amping up baseless far-right conspiracy theory.
That's from last September.
Ala Shaub Aliyah Shaub said that in the business insider.
So, again, they can't help discredit them.
In one sense, it's good.
It discredits the corporate media.
Again, I'm sure, no matter what, I'm sure this video is going to be demonetized.
I did a video just I dropped today about Rachel Maddow reacting to saying that Joe Biden his foreign policy is fundamentally right.
That's what she said after his NATO speech.
And I had to point out how he's been fundamentally wrong his entire career, not only now with Gaza and Ukraine, but he was one of the guys who was super wrong about Iraq forever.
And Libya, of course, and Afghanistan for 20 years and Syria, of course, all those things.
And they demonetized it.
What?
I'm covering Rachel Maddow covering something.
And so they're on the warpath.
YouTube is on the warpath with demonetization.
So I'm sure no matter what I say or do, they're going to demonetize it.
They're not going to let independent voices talk about this.
Well, that's a really.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
Go ahead.
No, that's actually a very important point.
And one of the reasons why Tucker sounded so crazy at the time is because he's one of the very few sort of uncancelable voices in media now that he is a freelancer, right?
Like the average Joe with their little YouTube channel can't come out and say what he said at the time because they might be censored for saying that, right?
And at the very least, they'll be demonetized for saying that.
They make it cost-prohibitive to talk that way.
Israel Gaza, same thing.
It costs money to cover that topic.
Every video you do on that topic is going to be demonetized.
So Tucker comes out and says that.
It makes perfect sense at the time.
But the reason why he is out on a limb is because he's one of the only people in media who can actually afford to talk that way because he's the only one who doesn't need to rely on these big tech sites to get the bills paid.
Right.
And so that's one of the reasons why I think he's out in front on a lot of these things is because he has fuck you money in that sense, I guess.
Well, Taibbi just dropped an article about this today, laying out how, you know, they put all their hopes in the Mueller report.
And when that failed, increasingly, their rhetoric could lead to no other conclusion than this.
He pointed out an op-ed that Victoria Newland's husband wrote, where he said, Trump is like a meteor that's going to crash into the earth.
We have to take every conceivable means possible to stop it.
What does that mean, conceivable means?
Well, that's a very broad category.
He didn't say legal.
He said conceivable.
So he really lays out how, okay, well, once you drum up the idea for years that Trump is an existential threat to democracy, he's the next Hitler.
He's Mussolini on steroids.
He's going to destroy the country.
It's going to be a handmade's tale.
Well, what does that suggest other than an assassination?
As Max Blumenthal said, here's what he said.
He said, an assassin tried to take Trump out 48 hours before the Republican National Convention.
Had the shooters succeeded, the billionaire GOP donor class would have faked some tears and eagerly selected Trump's replacement.
Undoubtedly, a more pliable candidate with a weak popular base.
Meanwhile, after blocking, let's remember that Trump didn't come up through the regular normal channels, which is why they've always hated him.
And they did Russia Gate.
The first thing they did was they planted a fake story from the Clinton campaign and the FBI and the CIA that he was working for an enemy country and that he was compromised and they had compromat on him.
That was all fake.
It was all made up.
The Mueller report revealed that.
And because at the opening page of it, it said there's no evidence.
There's no evidence to substantiate these accusations.
That's what Mueller came to.
No, no, unlimited resources to investigate that stupid theory.
And they couldn't find anything.
So then they went on to impeach him twice, two bogus impeachments.
And then just like Tucker Carlson said, four stupid indictments, one more ridiculous than the next.
And even Andrew Cuomo went on Bill Maher and said, yeah, that case only got Brought in New York City by Alvin Bragg because his name was Trump, because of who the guy was.
And he said, if I was attorney general, which I was, I would have never brought that case.
So even Democratic governors or former governors and attorneys are starting to crack and say, yeah, this is lawfare.
And so if they're willing to do that right out in the open, and by the way, remember the Republican base of the Republican donor class, the Republican power centers aren't screaming about it.
They're not saying we demand an end to this.
They're quietly letting it happen.
So they want him out too.
And it's just because, exactly as he said, they want someone weaker and more pliable than Trump.
Not that Trump is going to be a radical departure from a regular Republic, but he will be maybe, you know, if he gives, for instance, if he gives the Ukraine, if he ends the Ukraine war, that would be horrible for them.
If he actually pulls us out of NATO, that would be horrible for them.
If he actually turns on Benjamin Netanyahu, which he has, to a certain extent, and force a peace deal, that would be so that'd be horrible for Israel and the Zionists.
Well, you want to really see where they showed what their agenda is the night that he bombed Syria.
They all stuck out there, olive branches.
They sent him a very clear message.
You keep doing this, and we got you.
We got you.
That's right.
We'll do the same thing.
You're our president.
With Bush, as soon as the Supreme Court decided, that was it.
They started writing their puff pieces about how he keeps bankers' hours in his White House, all that BS.
They would have done the same thing with Trump if he had just played ball after that night.
Oh, the beauty of our weapons.
Van Johnson, he became president tonight.
They would have given him that treatment.
They would have completely rehabilitated him if he had just played ball.
And let's remember when Trump decided to pull the troops out of Syria, they didn't let him.
Like they told Trump that, oh, yeah, we're pulling him out.
And then they didn't, that the generals went against Donald Trump.
So just like Chuck Schumer, oh, I can't believe I don't have that fucking video.
When Chuck Schumer told Rachel Maddow, hey, guess what?
Trump is being really dumb to go against the intelligence community because they have six ways of Sunday to get back at you.
And this looks like one of them.
And so they wouldn't let him, they wouldn't let him run his own foreign policy.
Well, and this is where they're trying to use Project 2025 to gin up their Kool Aid drinking base.
But if you dig into the details of Project 25, well, okay, why would they want to replace all of these permanent bureaucrats?
Well, look what happened with Syria.
Look what happened.
Like, okay, so you believe so much in norms and guardrails, which is the big Democratic talking point.
Is it proper for a president not to be able to execute policy that's within his purview because you have a deep state of permanent bureaucrats that will thwart his policies when he tries to have them enacted?
Like, isn't that that affects Democrats too?
Isn't that a worthwhile thing to discuss?
And so when Chuck Schumer said that the intelligence community has six ways Sundays with messing with the president, I think this is the sixth way because they've tried the first five.
They tried to just ignore his directives as a leader of foreign policy.
They've tried to call him a traitor to the country.
They've tried to impeach him.
They tried twice.
They did four indictments, 92 feneline counts with four different indictments, four different.
So they've tried all the other five ways, and this would be the sixth way.
That's what it certainly seems like to me.
And here, let me just say.
And it failed again because the guy turned his head because he turned his head.
So he said.
He is the roadrunner.
So I'll read this again, the whole tweet.
An assassin tried to take out Trump 48 hours before the RNC.
Had the shooter succeeded, the billionaire class of the GOP would have faked some tears and eagerly selected Trump's replacement, undoubtedly a more pliable candidate with a weak popular base.
Meanwhile, after blocking a primary campaign, the billionaire Democratic donor class is orchestrating the political euthanization of Joe Biden through a series of closed-door meetings, aiming to replace him with a candidate of their choosing who no real American voted for.
But remember, democracy's on the ballot.
So this is, again, this is not an election.
This is, they want it to be another selection.
Just like Barack Obama was selected by Wall Street, and we know that because of the email that came from Citigroup to his campaign with a list of people they wanted in his cabinet, and everybody on that list ended up in his cabinet.
And how do we know about that email from Wall Street to Barack Obama's campaign?
Julian Assange revealed that through WikiLeaks, which is why they've been trying to kill him ever since.
So we don't really have elections.
We have selections in America.
I'm the first person.
Someone else said that.
I'm repeating it.
And you get to vote for someone they've already that the establishment is okay with.
They would be okay with John McCain or Barack Obama.
They would be okay with Al Gore or George Bush because Bill Clinton and Al Gore became right-wing Republicans.
They became a corporatist, right?
They started the Democratic Leadership Council and they put Koch brothers executives on their Democratic leadership council.
They opened the floodgates up.
They called Wall Street and says, we're in business.
And so that's when they gutted welfare at the same time.
They deregulated Wall Street.
They consolidated the media.
They put 100,000 more.
They did what they could for the pro-profit.
They did NAFTA, which cut the legs out from underneath workers for a generation.
The whole thing.
So just like they were, but they weren't okay with Trump because they couldn't control Trump as much as they like.
And so he wouldn't do the wars exactly like, I mean, it is amazing what it would take to piss off the donor class.
But they know if Trump gets Elected, he will find peace in Ukraine.
And he might give away the eastern part of Ukraine to Russia.
And they can't have any of that.
They still think they're going to balkanize Russia.
They still think they're going to be able to crush Russia, split it up, and sell it off to Vanguard and BlackRock, which is what they're doing right now to Ukraine.
Ukraine's being split up and sold off to BlackRock and Vanguard.
That's what's happening.
And they thought they were going to be able...
Sorry, go ahead.
Even if he doesn't do any of that, the simple gestures, like the things we almost kind of forget about during his time in office, like going to North Korea and shaking hands with Kim Jong-un.
Remember the Helsinki conference where he accepted the soccer ball from Putin as a gift.
Like even that just drove them insane to the point where even if he doesn't end the Ukraine war, just those things alone signal to them that they can't control him as much as they'd like.
And you're right.
They love democracy as long as the results don't matter.
And that's why they're freaked out by Project 2025 because they rely on the powers of these three-letter agencies to basically neutralize the outcome of a democratic process that is outside of their purview, right?
So without the three-letter agencies exercising a check over the president, it actually matters who the president is.
And they don't like that.
They don't want it to matter who the president is.
They want to give you your choice of option A, option B, knowing that they'll be just fine no matter who wins.
So Joe Biden did his big boy press conference and Rachel Maddow, they tweeted this out.
Biden and Harris headquarters tweeted this out.
Rachel Maddow says President Biden showed a startlingly impressive command of the issues.
Yeah, there were some moments of startlingly impressive command of the issues, like when he introduced President Zelensky as President Butin.
That was pretty good.
I got to admit, I like how he told the NATO guy that he was going to that he's fucking his wife.
I thought that was pretty sweet.
And I thought it took a lot of intellectual wigger to make that call, I'll be honest.
And so let's listen to Rachel Maddow.
This is what she had to say after the big boy press conference.
And keep in mind that everything she's going to say here is a lie.
And keep in mind that she knows it's a lie.
And everybody on this panel knows it's a lie.
Because MSNBC takes full advantage of their viewer base and their chronic panic disorder to make them believe anything because it's being said on television.
Not a word of what she says is true, but the viewers only demand that you look like you mean it when you say it.
That's what they call vetting the situation.
Here we go.
And I won't go on at length.
I will just say, though, you noted that there were some moments of startlingly impressive command of the issues.
This is just my opinion.
He is not only strong on foreign policy, he is just fundamentally right on foreign policy in the way that he talks about it.
And again, your mileage may vary.
That is how I feel about the way he talks about our relationship with our allies and our relationship with NATO.
You can hear his command of the issues, particularly in his asides, like mentioning as an offhand way that it was Turkey really that needed really to be talked into an expansion of NATO that included Finland and Sweden, talking about the numbers of Russian troop losses in Ukraine, talking about the fact that he turned in his notes after he spoke privately with President Xi, alluding to the fact that Trump had all those weird meetings with the Russians and Putin, in which he had no note-taker present.
I mean, it's even in the little assignments where it just shows you he is a master.
Wow.
That's why I forgot Trump had all those weird meetings with Putin and didn't even bring a note-taker.
That's probably because Russia Gate was real, right?
Hey, did Trump accidentally call Putin Zelensky in those weird meetings of the foreign policy field and has been for decades in his career in the Senate, the vice president, and the presidency.
He's been an expert on foreign policy for decades and decades.
I'm going to show you in a minute why that is the most untrue thing she's ever said in her life.
But here we go.
So, you know, at this point, I'm even questioning whether she's actually gay.
Sure, she's got the hair and the glasses to meet the LGBT standards, but then she does the eyelashes thing.
And it's like she's got something set up for later when the cameras are off.
You know what I'm talking about?
She's got the Megan Kelly eyelashes.
Well, here's what I said about that.
Of course, she knows she's lying, and the consequences of her lying is mass death and carnage.
Imagine saying that engineering the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians in an economic proxy war provoked by the United States is fundamentally right.
Imagine saying that Biden sabotaging already agreed upon peace agreements to end the Ukraine war, which he most certainly did, is fundamentally right.
Imagine saying funding indiscriminate slaughter of women and children in a genocide in Palestine is fundamentally right.
She's a real traitor to our country and to humanity in general.
And this is why America finds itself in endless wars because of psychopaths in the media who are bought by the war machine to lie to the Americans about war.
Of course she knows better, which is why she'll never bring on anyone to challenge her war propaganda.
She'll never bring on Glenn Greenwald or Matt Taibbi or Aaron Mate or Max Blumenthal or any even someone as dumb as me she won't bring on.
She won't bring on Scott Ritter.
She won't bring on Mer Sheimer.
She won't even bring on Trump.
She won't bring on anybody to challenge her warmongering.
Nobody.
They're not allowed.
And neither were any of those other people on that panel, by the way.
That's why she never brought anybody to have an opposing opinion on RussiaGate because it's easy to debunk the dumbest conspiracy theory in my lifetime and humiliate her.
And that's why she never brought on anybody.
Glenn Greenwald, he was always welcome on MSNBC.
And then as soon as he was going to tell the truth about Russia, get out.
Every person on that panel knows the truth about these wars and knows she's lying to keep these wars going.
Here's what I like.
Asai Raj says, calling the unconditional support for killing tens of thousands of Palestinians, 20,000 missing children, starvation as a weapon of war, nearly 2 million people displaced, and the total destruction of Gaza fundamentally right on foreign policy is actually a wild thing to say.
It's actually evil.
It's actually an evil thing to say.
And if you want to see Master of Foreign Policy, here he is.
Here's his, and she said for decades.
He's been a master.
Here it is.
Here's his master.
Joe Biden did so much more than vote for the war.
He was the chair of the powerful Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and he really used his control over that committee to make sure that a majority of the U.S. Senate voted to authorize the war.
And that's a very serious thing.
Historian Barbara Ransby.
It's questionable whether the authorization to start the war could have even passed Congress without all that Biden did to get it approved.
So he really did play a major role in bringing us into the Iraq war, a terrible, terrible war.
And this was much more responsibility.
He bears much more responsibility than many other senators who simply voted for it.
Of course, the statement about chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons were false.
And many experts already concluded this at the time of the Senate hearings, but Biden didn't allow these experts to testify.
That's really significant.
As chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, Biden was able to control the Senate debate on the war.
And therefore, much of the information that most senators received and that major media outlets reported was really distorted.
There were other Democrats in the Senate who wanted to put limits on Bush's ability to start a war in Iraq.
For example, if there was no imminent threat to the United States and the United Nations did not authorize the war, then President Bush would have to come back to Congress for another resolution.
But Biden shot this down.
So the reason why I oppose the amendment of my friend from Michigan is because the basic premise upon which I began is consistent with where my friend from Connecticut begins, and that is that the threat need not be imminent for us to take action.
That's authority we're about to delegate to the president.
So the fact that he would take such a stridently pro-war position, that he would use that role to limit the debate the way he did, played a major factor in getting enough defections from the Democratic majority to join with almost unanimous Republican support to make the war resolution pass.
Professor Steven Zunes.
As a result, I don't think it would be unfair to say that Biden played a more important role than probably anybody in Congress in making the Iraq war possible.
Easy.
You're going to make Rachel Maddow come.
He's got more.
The idea that Iraq, which had been rid of its non-conventional weapons and weapons programs and weapon systems that was under the strictest sanctions of any nation has ever experienced, was somehow a threat to the United States and the far side of the world is totally absurd.
I mean, totally ridiculous.
I mean, the fact that an educated person like Joe Biden with foreign policy experience would believe that really defies the imagination.
But the witnesses mostly reinforce the pro-war arguments.
So he only let on witnesses that would bolster the pro-war arguments.
That's really, Biden didn't let experts testify.
I guess he only likes experts when they're mandating an experimental gene therapy.
Am I right?
Go on.
He did more to make sure the Iraq war happened than anybody, and he didn't stop.
Here he was after everybody knew it was a mistake, doubling down.
Watch this.
Bush invaded.
Biden continued to support the war for years.
Some of my own party have said that it was a mistake to go to Iraq in the first place and believe that it's not worth the cost, whatever benefit may flow from our engagement in Iraq.
But the cost of not acting against Saddam, I think, would have been much greater.
And so is the cost, and so will be the cost of not finishing this job.
The President of the United States is a bold leader, and he is popular.
The stakes are high, and the need for leadership is great.
I wish he'd use some of his stored-up popularity to make what I admit is not a very popular case, but I and many others will support him.
Nine months ago, I voted with my colleagues to give the President of the United States of America the authority to use force.
And I would vote that way again today.
It was a right vote then, and it'd be a correct vote today.
Lawrence Wilkerson.
And President Obama in the Roosevelt room essentially told me this.
September the 10th, 2015.
He started off the conversation with these words.
There's a bias in this town toward war.
I almost fell off my seat.
And then he told us for the next 20, 25 minutes that he didn't know what to do about it.
There's a bias in this town toward war, said the president of the United States.
We have a machine in Washington.
It consists of predatory capitalists like Lockheed Martin and ExxonMobil and all they represent.
ExxonMobil sells more fossil fuel to DOD than any other entity in the world.
Lockheed Martin, the biggest weapons merchant in the world, makes a fortune off war.
So does Raytheon, Grumman, and Boeing.
As long as you have these dollars rolling in, you're going to have constant endless war.
Professor Adam Ghatachi in the United States, Biden represents a kind of a long-standing bipartisan commitment to U.S. preeminence on the global stage, in which the U.S. acts as the policeman of the world.
I think a lot of Americans are frustrated by this position.
They want to have a different kind of relationship to the world, and they want a leader, a president, and Congress that can present a vision of prosperity for all Americans.
I think that only happens when we break with the cycle of endless wars.
It is going to be very difficult, I think, for a Democratic Party candidate who basically reiterates the status quo of endless military interventions, endless wars in the Middle East to win against Donald Trump.
So Joe Biden is like a Trojan horse.
When you open it up, it's the war machine inside.
That's what Joe Biden is.
And there's Rachel Maddow using her gayness to hoodwink people into thinking she's somehow telling you the truth or moral.
Rachel Maddow is an exercise in evil.
I don't say that lightly.
What she's doing is flat-out evil, more evil than anything I've ever seen Trump do.
That is unbelievably evil, what she's doing.
And all those people on that panel know that she's lying, and they know that people are going to be slaughtered because of it.
And people are.
They've all got blood on their hands.
They got a nerd.
Chris Hayes wouldn't lie.
He's a nerd.
Rachel Maddow wouldn't lie.
She's a lesbian.
Gay people, they're born with more morality than anyone else.
They can't be horrible, crazed, psychopathic, evil warmongers who don't care who gets slaughtered.
She gets paid $100,000 a day to do the bidding of the people who are slaughtering, getting those people slaughtered, not only in Palestine, but in Ukraine.
She lied about everywhere.
She lied about Syria.
She's lying about Ukraine.
She didn't say a peep when they fired all their Arab reporters over MSNBC.
She'll take the 100 grand, and she's using her LGBTQ bona fides to hoodwing people and to think she's telling you the truth.
She's an evil liar.
There's no two ways around that.
Telling you Joe Biden has, what was the word she used?
Your enemy is not a Trump voter or a Bernie Sanders voner or a Jill Stein voter.
Your enemy are those people.
The establishment mouthpieces who will lie to you for $100,000 a day, and they don't care who gets slaughtered for it.
Joe Biden's fundamentally right.
You want to hear how Joe Biden's fundamentally right on Afghanistan?
Watch this.
It's a big difference to tell the American people the truth about what our options are in ending this war.
So this is Joe Biden in 2007 talking about our options to end the war in Afghanistan.
If tomorrow the order goes out from the president, I'm president of the United States.
I issue an order.
End the war today, begin to withdraw all American troops.
It will take a year to get the American troops out.
Do you hear me now?
That's the truth.
It will take a year to get them physically out.
Wow, it took him like five minutes what he actually did it.
But forget about that lie.
Here we go.
Now, if you leave all the equipment behind, you might be able to do it in seven months.
And you leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind.
I promise they're going to be used against your grandchild and mine someday.
What?
You leave those billions of dollars of weapons behind.
I promise they're going to be used against your grandchild and mine someday.
And that's exactly what he did.
That's exactly what he did.
He left all those weapons behind, and he doesn't care.
He guaranteed they're going to be used against his grandchildren and ours someday.
You know, I hate that I'm nostalgic for hearing him lie articulately.
You heard him say that.
And now he says this.
The idea, the idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trends going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand.
And don't kid yourself, no matter what y'all say.
That's called World War III.
So he's saying that if we send in planes, tanks, and all that stuff, that'd be World War III in Ukraine.
Make no mistake.
And today, today, I'm announcing that the United States will be sending 31 Abram tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion.
Secretary Austin has recommended this step because it will enhance the Ukraine's capacity to defend its territory and achieve its strategic objectives.
The Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world.
They're also extremely complex to operate and maintain.
So we're also giving Ukraine the parts and equipment necessary to effectively sustain these tanks on the battlefield.
And we'll begin to train the Ukrainian troops on these issues of sustainment, logistics, and maintenance as soon as possible.
Oh, so that's the tanks.
What about the planes?
And I'm also pleased to announce that as we speak, the transfer of F-16 jets is underway.
Coming from Denmark, coming from the Netherlands, and those jets.
So they're sending the F-16s, they're sending the tanks.
I thought, though, I thought he said, though, that if we did that, that that would be the start of World War III.
The idea that we're going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews.
Just understand.
And don't kid yourself, no matter what y'all say.
That's called World War III.
And today.
So just so you know, so that's all it's clear to you that Rachel Maddow is a bald-faced lying psychopath.
It's beyond just being a liar.
A liar Is a guy who tries to sell you a used car that doesn't work.
A psychopath is someone like her who's doing actual evil because she knows people are going to get slaughtered.
You want to see that again?
I want to see, and I won't go on at length.
I will just say, though, you noted that there were some moments of startlingly impressive command of the issues.
Stars leave.
My opinion, he is not only strong on foreign policy, he is just fundamentally right on foreign policy in the way that he talks about it.
And again, that was the person who covered up for George Bush when he illegally invaded another country, killed a million people, displaced another million, and then ordered a torture program worldwide.
She was the one who lied for him.
That's who gives you the news.
Now she's lying for Joe Biden.
And you tell me that he doesn't know they're lying?
Of course they do.
And so does she.
I think she went to Harvard.
They all know.
They all know that what she's saying is a lie.
They all know that what they're doing is spewing propaganda in aid of the war machine.
They all know this.
These people are all evil.
Congratulations.
Now you know why we've been in endless wars my entire adult life.
Endless.
And they ain't stopping.
Because you have someone like her who's willing to lie to you night after night after night after night.
And she gets rewarded for it and rewarded for it.
And people think that she has to be moral.
She wouldn't be lying because she's gay.
Gay people don't lie.
Gay people aren't warmongers.
Gay people wouldn't get other people slaughtered for profit.
Nerds, that's why they think he's a truth teller because he's a nerd.
Nerds wouldn't do that.
These are the worst people in the world.
