Time Text
Hey, I'll see you on tour in 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.
Who's this?
Hey, Jimmy, this is J.B. Pritzker, governor of the great state of Illinois.
How the hell are you?
I'm doing just fine, Governor.
How are you?
Jimmy, I'm doing fantastic.
Thanks for asking.
And may I say, sir, that it is great to finally talk to you, one proud son of Chicago to another.
Yeah, of course, Chicago, my hometown.
I'll be there in a few weeks, actually.
I am well aware, and I will do everything in my gubernatorial powers to make sure the mayor rolls out the red carpet for your arrival, sir.
Nothing but the best for a hometown kid done good.
That sounds great.
Thank you.
So why are you calling out calling out of the blue and kissing my ass so hard like this?
Well, that's a good question.
Jimmy, I'm doing the media rounds happily, stumping for Kamala Harris and her team.
CNN and MSNBC, now your show.
Just getting the good word out about our next president.
But she doesn't need me.
She's going gangbusters on her own.
Hell, I'm just doing it for fun.
But are you also on the short list for VP consideration?
Well, yeah, you know, I told Kamala I'm here to help in any way you need.
How me in the phones.
I'll go door to door.
I'll clean up after staff meetings.
And if you need me to be vice president of the United States, I can handle that too.
I see.
But now that you mention it, I feel like I'd make a pretty darn good VP pick, if I may say so myself.
Okay, why is that?
Well, first of all, and let's get this out of the way up top.
I'm a large boy.
In case you haven't noticed, yes, I'm a sizable fella.
And you know what?
So are a lot of Americans.
And you haven't seen us represented in the Democratic Party over the years.
Kamala, Biden, Obama, John Kerry, quite a bunch of bean bowls.
I'm a regular everyday American, and I look like one, too.
Having me on the ticket would help balance the scales.
I suppose so.
Representation is good.
Jimmy, I thank you for your support.
But building on that, I'm just a regular Chicago guy.
I love my cubs, the Bears, Blackhawks.
Put me in the stands with a Polish sausage and a lukewarm beer, and I'm as happy as a clam.
Hell, I'll eat some clams, too.
I'm someone that John Q. Public is going to relate to.
That's great.
What part of Chicago are you from, by the way?
Oh, I'm not from Chicago.
Wait, what?
I said I was a Chicago guy.
I didn't say I was from Chicago.
I was born in sunny Palo Alto, California.
But you grew up in Chicago, right?
Or near it?
Not even close.
I was raised in a wealthy community of Atherton, California, and attended the prestigious Milton boarding school in New England.
My family is originally from Chicago, however, so, you know, I've been there.
But this whole persona of Chicago guy, you even have the accent.
How do you grow up in California, New England, and sound like this?
Oh, well, it's simple, Jimmy.
I wanted to be governor of a state because that's usually a stepping stone to bigger things.
I knew I would never be elected in California because I'm a large boy, but Illinois seems attainable.
But to be elected governor of Illinois, you have to seem like you're from Chicago.
Sound like it, talk about the cubs and shit, that sort of thing.
So between the Pritzkers being a well-known Chicago family and me doing this whole persona, you know, my plan worked.
Unbelievable.
Do you feel dishonest?
Jimmy, I'm just a regular American who does not currently nor ever has resided in Cook County.
I hope...
I will do literally anything, and I mean anything, to get ahead.
And I think regular Americans will relate to that and respect it.
Yeah, we'll see.
Hey, being from Chicago myself, actually from Chicago, I have heard of the Pritzker family.
If not, if I'm not mistaken, you are one of the wealthiest families in America, right?
Is that true?
Jimmy, I've never been one for statistics or rankings or any of that kind of nonsense.
I'm all about working hard for the American people, the regular Joe and Jane out there just trying to make a living in this crazy time.
Uh-oh, can I ask you how much you're worth?
Jimmy, my net worth is somewhere in the ballpark of $3.5 billion, according to Wikipedia.
What?
You're literally a billionaire?
How can you possibly be considered a champion of regular Americans?
Jimmy, I'm pretty sure that regular Americans, if given the opportunity to receive several billion dollars in inherited wealth, would accept it.
No questions asked.
The fact that I did that just shows I'm about as regular as a fellow could be.
Oh, brother.
And furthermore, I think it serves as an inspiration.
If a regular guy, massive jub station J.B. Pritzker, can be handed several billion dollars on a player, who's to say that couldn't happen to you someday.
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to inherit several billion dollars in the foreseeable future.
Well, that's exactly the kind of negative Nancy thinking the Democratic Party needs to avoid if we're going to beat Donald Trump in November.
Whether the VP pick is yours truly or some Beltway elitist from Kentucky, we need to pull together and think positive.
It's pretty easy to think positive when you're a billionaire, right?
Jimmy, I don't even think about my money.
It's only there to serve one purpose.
If I'm faced with some sort of problem, no matter how big or small, I use that giant pile of cash to take enough money so I can solve that problem.
And I've never encountered a problem so big that rectifying it put even a dent in $3.5 billion.
So you can literally say I've never encountered a problem that I couldn't solve.
Now, if that isn't an inspiring quality, I don't know what it is.
Yeah, it's Quite something.
Thanks, Jimmy.
And that's exactly the positive attitude that I want to take to the White House, should I be so lucky?
Hell, if she's on the fence, maybe I could throw a couple mil her way to help grease the wheels.
Wouldn't that be bribery?
Jimmy, I may not be from Chicago, but I'm definitely a Chicago politician.
I don't even know what you're talking about, but think positive.
Okay.
And think big.
J.B. Britzkerbig, a big fella with a big billions of dollars.
Well, it's been fun talking, Andy, and your listeners.
Hopefully, I'll be able to call back every now and again, and we can talk cubs and Bratworth and stuff.
What part of Chicago are you from, by the way?
I'm from the southwest side, right by Midway Airport.
Okay, I don't know where that is.
I've never heard of that.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Thank you.
you you Thank you.
Hey, come see us on tour.
We're going to be in Chicago, Grand Rapids, Duluth, Georgia, right outside of Atlanta, and Jacksonville, Florida.
Go to JimmyDoor.com for a link for tickets.
So they had an election in Venezuela.
And the United States has been wanting to overthrow the government of Venezuela and control it because, well, they have more oil in Venezuela than Saudi Arabia.
Okay?
So keep that in mind.
That's what this is all about, right?
That's why we're sanctioning Venezuela.
That's why we tried to overthrow their government.
And that's why we recognized Juan Guaido as this is all about the capitalists want that oil.
Okay?
That's what this is all about.
And here's Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
He's going to say what a bad election it was.
Watch this.
If my colleagues will indulge me for just one minute, I want to speak quickly to the elections that just took place in Venezuela.
We applaud the Venezuelan people for their participation in the July 28th presidential election.
We commend their courage and commitment to democracy in the face of repression and in the face of adversity.
We've seen the announcement just a short while ago by the Venezuelan Electoral Commission.
We have serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people.
Well, let me just say this.
If he's so concerned about the democracy in Venezuela, wait till he finds out how his own party picked its presidential candidate.
It's a real gutbuster.
Yeah, the party elite just installed somebody without anybody voting for her.
Isn't that something?
Yeah, okay.
It's critical that every vote be counted fairly and transparently, that election officials immediately share information with the opposition and independent observers without delay, and that the electoral authorities publish the detailed tabulation of votes.
The international community is watching this very closely.
And by the way, when he says the will of the Venezuelan people, he's talking about a handful of people he installed there to bend the public will against his opponent.
That's what he's talking about.
Okay.
And we'll respond accordingly.
Now.
So let's get out our Dakota rings and figure out what this guy's actually saying.
What he is saying is it turns out he means that actual democracy has overridden the takeover coup that he had planned over there.
No wonder we're so concerned.
Looks like we're going to have to get a false flag going over there at a terror event on ourselves that we blame on Venezuela, giving Iran a momentary reprieve.
So this is amazing.
By the way, what in the fuck is it of any of your business how Venezuela runs their country?
You guys don't have any problem with dictators.
You guys have nothing, you're in bed with most of them.
This is not about any, this is about, again, us wanting to coup a government so the capitalists can come in and steal their natural resources.
That's what this is about.
And don't be first of all, their election.
Every impartial election observer I can find says it's on the up and up.
Ajamu Baraka says, I'm in Venezuela as an observer and can say with certainty that after systematic interference by anti-democratic forces in the United States, we're the ones messing with the democratic process in Venezuela.
As usual, you know, any history at all about the United States and South America and Central America, have any history at all?
It's the United States that's doing it.
The election results represented the sentiments of the people who voted.
What is not being reported is the organization that took place to win.
Here's another guy, Alan McLeod.
He says there are over 900 foreign election observers here in Venezuela, me included.
If there was anything substantial to these predictable claims, we would have seen it.
So of course the United States is going to come out and say that the election is fraudulent.
That's of course what they're going to do.
They do it all the time, every election.
Instead, it is the same story every election since 2000.
The United States says it's fraudulent and a dictator.
And then I said, of course, the United States government and corporate media are saying that Venezuelans' election is fraudulent because Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia.
And that's why the United States is constantly trying to overthrow their governments and sanctioning their economy, which is why 7 million people left Venezuela.
And where do you think they came?
Once again, the United States is the terrorists.
Here's TJ Blade said, Does that say his name?
I don't know how to pronounce that.
He says, one of the reasons we keep an outpost in Colombia, too, the plan to overthrow Venezuela and exploit its resources has been on their agenda since the 50s.
He said, I started on a video compiling all the times we've attempted coups and assassinations there.
It became an hour long.
So then you have people like this who just buy the propaganda 100%.
He says, I don't disagree with you about the U.S. foreign intervention.
Okay, that's good.
But you're wrong on this one.
Okay.
Sure, sure.
It's obvious there was fraud here.
The people, my question to you is: why do you give a fuck about an election progress, an election process in Venezuela?
Because you're told to care.
That's why.
Because you're told to care.
We just, there was a, oh, what's the African country?
Somebody just got elected with 95% of the vote.
We didn't say a goddamn thing about it because he's our puppet.
Oh, I wish I can't remember who that was.
The people of Venezuela wanted out of communism.
How do you know this?
How do you know this?
And Maduro had his military stop voting, run off with ballot boxes, et cetera, from what I'm seeing.
What do you mean?
What are you seeing?
Are you seeing Fox News report on this?
Are you seeing MSNBCs?
Are you seeing Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, the people who lied about RussiaGate?
At the top, you mean those people, the people who lied about currently lying about Ukraine, lied about Libya, lied about Iraq, lied about Syria and Iran.
You mean those people?
This, Rwanda, this isn't just from the United States government in corporate press.
Well, where is it from?
So if you want to know the facts, Venezuela has voter ID, they have fingerprint ID, they have one day of voting at a designated location.
They have a paper ballot trail.
Electronic voting machines are not connected to the internet.
Multiple audits and same-day results.
U.S. elections have none of that.
So you're being propagandized again.
Why?
Why do you even have a fucking opinion about an election happening in Venezuela?
A government we've tried to overthrow a zillion times.
Here we go.
Here's Senator Chris Murphy.
You know, I feel like it's Groundhog Day in this committee.
We've been told by the administration, frankly, multiple.
It reminds me of people who had deep emotional opinions about Ivermectin.
I had arguments with comedians, top of our lungs.
It doesn't treat what I've remected.
That's a horse pace.
Why do you have an opinion on a medicine?
Because you were told to.
Same thing here.
Why do you have an opinion on the Venezuelan election?
Let Venezuela figure out their fucking problems.
If it wasn't a good election, let them figure it out.
They have way more safeguards in place than the goddamn United States, okay?
So here, let's listen to what he has.
You know, I feel like it's Groundhog Day in this committee.
We've been told by the administration, frankly, multiple administrations for years, that Russia's support for Assad and Iran's support for Assad is tepid.
It's fragile.
It's just a matter of time before he falls.
The truth of the matter is they were always willing to do more than we were in Syria to protect their interests.
And that is likely the exact same case here in Venezuela.
And so our policy has been misguided by fundamentally flawed assumptions from the beginning.
And I have deep respect for both of you who are testifying before this committee.
But we just have to be clear that our Venezuela policy over the last year and a half has been an unmitigated disaster.
And if we aren't honest about that, then we can't self-correct.
We have to admit that our big play, recognizing Guaido right out of the gate and then moving quickly to implement sanctions, just didn't work.
It didn't.
All it did was.
So he's saying, you know, our thing to recognize an illegitimate leader of that country after we tried to do a coup and all the generals sided with the government.
They didn't do, you know, after we tried, we did that.
And then we did economic sanctions on them.
It didn't work.
None of this is working.
What does he mean by working?
He means overthrowing the democratically elected government of Venezuela and installing our puppets.
That's what he means by working.
Why the fuck do we, again, that's all the United States does is meddle in other people's countries and governments.
That's all we do.
And that's exactly what this is.
Pardon Russia and Cuba's play in Venezuela and allow Maduro to paint Guaido as an American Patsy.
And a lot of us warned that this might happen.
Because he was an American Patsy.
You get that?
That's why he was able to paint him as an American Patsy because Juan Guaido was an American Patsy.
We could have used the prospect of U.S. recognition or sanctions as Leverage.
We could have spent more time trying to get European allies and other partners on the same page.
We could have spent more time trying to talk to or neutralize China and Russia early before we backed them into a corner, a corner from which they are not moving.
They are not moving.
So what he's saying is we could have strategically handled this better so our overthrow of the Venezuelan government would have went better.
That's what he said.
That's what he's saying.
We should have negotiated with China and Russia and made sure they would allow us to do what we wanted to do in Venezuela, which is overthrow their government and steal their natural resources.
That's what he's talking about.
That's what he's saying.
This is how they talk in suit and ties and $300 haircuts.
This is how they talk about creating chaos and being a terrorist organization, which is what the U.S. government is.
This is talking about being a terrorist and overthrowing another country's government and bending it to our will, not the will of the Venezuelan people.
But all we did was play all our cards on day one, and it didn't work.
And it's just been an embarrassing mistake after mistake since.
First, we thought that getting Guaido to declare himself president would be enough to topple the regime.
Then we thought put we thought we thought if we just acknowledged and recognized an illegitimate leader who wasn't elected, that that would be enough to topple their regime, meaning overthrow their government.
He's just telling you what we're doing.
Aid on the border would be enough.
Then we tried to sort of construct a kind of coup in April of last year and it blew up in our face when all the general We tried to construct a coup.
We tried to construct a coup in Venezuela in April 2019, and it blew up in our face.
He just said it.
We tried to construct a coup in another country.
What in the fuck?
And there are people on Twitter right now on my Twitter thread, not upset that we keep doing that, but think they have that think they should have an opinion on an election in Venezuela.
You know who should have an opinion on an election in Venezuela?
The people in Venezuela.
The people who are the terrorists don't get to have an opinion.
That's legitimate.
Who gives a shit what this guy thinks or anybody else in America thinks about Venezuela's freaking election?
This is all imperialism.
That's all this is.
Again, you're falling for it.
If you believe that Anthony Blinken is worried about the will of the Venezuelan people, you're a chump of the highest order.
And you've learned nothing from Iraq, Libya, 20 years of Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine.
You've learned nothing.
That were supposed to break with Maduro decided to stick with him in the end.
We undermined Norway's talks last summer.
And then this March, we released a transition framework that, frankly, is almost a carbon copy of the very one that was in front of the parties last year.
So if you have an opinion and you're upset that somehow the election in Venezuela wasn't on the up and up, you've been propagandized.
That's the result of it.
All of a sudden, now you have an opinion about another country's election.
That's up to that fucking country to worry about.
I bet it involves us overthrowing their government again.
I bet that's what this is all.
You think that's where it's leading?
I bet it is.

So Seymour Hirsch, his latest article, says that Biden had a major medical event that was covered up as COVID.
Remember, they said, oh, Joe Biden's got COVID.
And that if he resisted stepping down, they were going to invoke the 25th Amendment.
So you're trying to tell me that certain dealings with President Joe Biden are not on the up and up.
I won't stand for that, which is why I'm sitting down.
So there's Joe Biden.
What is that face?
What is the, what is the kind of, looks like he's- That's what I was thinking.
Looks like he's trying to make sure he doesn't soil his pants.
Trying to make sure that a fart doesn't turn into a shit.
Is that what he's doing?
That's the, that's the, he looks like a dash hound, right?
Indicating things are not going the way his handlers told him they would.
That's what that looks like.
Anyway.
So leaving Las Vegas, this is it.
Inside the last tortured days of the Biden campaign.
This is Seymour Hearst, July 27th.
He says, it's not surprising that the long overdue unraveling of President Joe Biden's reelection campaign happened when it became impossible to keep his increasing impairment covered up.
It was, by the way, they weren't keeping it covered up.
We saw it in 2019.
We've seen it.
Everybody's seen it.
They weren't covering it up.
They were lying to people, and then people decided certain people decided to believe that lie.
It became impossible.
It was a big time money, it was the big-time moneybackers of the Democratic Party who called off the game of see no evil, hear no evil after Biden's shocking performance in his June debate with Donald Trump.
Shocking?
Shocking would be if Biden didn't sound like the last ice cube in his skull had just melted.
That would be shocking.
Shocking would have been if he came out and spoke fluently and coherently.
That would have been shocking.
They balked at continuing to give millions of dollars to the party now that there was evidence that the president is not always there.
You'd think it would be a vigilant press corps.
This is Seymour Hirsch.
You'd think it would be a vigilant press corps led by the New York Times and the Washington Post who first broached the issue of Biden's impairment, but those papers missed the story.
No.
No, I would not think that.
You would think.
No, I would not, nobody thinks that.
That's funny that he would write that.
Seymour Hirsch has been on the show.
He's probably him and Julian Assange, the greatest investigative reporters of our time.
Glenn Greenwald also up there.
I want to make sure I get that shout out.
You'd think it would be the press.
No, we would not think that.
Just to let you know, we would not think that.
Okay.
The first significant report came in early June from the Wall Street Journal, whose consistently brilliant news section, considered suspect by the Times and Post and many readers because of the paper's conservative editorial page and the fact that it is part of Rupert Murdoch's news corps broke the story on the front page under the headline, Biden's closed doors.
Behind closed doors, Biden shows signs of slipping.
I tweeted that out.
I said, you should see what he's doing in front of the closed doors.
Behind closed doors, he shows signs.
Behind the closed doors?
Behind closed doors?
Behind closed doors?
That's how much they've lowered their standards over at the Wall Street Journal.
They're only starting to notice signs now?
Are you kidding?
Okay.
Anyway, the White House press office quickly responded that both of those quoted in the story were Republicans who are supporters of Trump.
The strategy somehow worked.
Fear of Trump took priority over doing the right thing.
Somehow it worked.
Well, yeah, because Biden did such a great job handling COVID.
The strategy.
Oh my God.
Who in Washington didn't know that Biden was failing?
We all did, up to a point.
I had learned months earlier from a federal official that those in the front rows of university events where Biden was speaking were warned not to move if the president tripped while walking to the podium.
Can I just this, I just can't get over that.
The strategy somehow worked.
The strategy, by somehow, does I mean obviously, since every blue Anon MAGA, that's blue MAGA people, they've been lobotomized by corporate horseshit for at least a decade.
So that's how it somehow worked.
People still believe what they see on TV and read in the New York Times.
Okay.
Who in Washington didn't?
So they were told not to get up if President Biden at universities where he'd be speaking or at graduation ceremonies.
They were told.
That's amazing.
That's amazing.
Secret Service agents were on hand to pick him up immediately.
There would be no front page photos of a college valedictorian helping the president climb to his feet.
The American public could see Biden's slow decline.
okay Okay.
Wow, this is the journal reported.
The journal reported that nearly three-fourths of those polled thought Biden was too old to seek another term.
Cabinet meetings in the past few years largely disappeared or turned into rote sessions, as recorded by the C-SPAN, which faithfully televises all White House events.
Biden would join the seated cabinet heads and read from a prepared text with each page covered with a plastic sheet.
Thank you.
Thank you.
You know, instead of asking, is Biden too old?
Is he too?
Why don't we?
They just never asked the right questions.
You know, the questions they should have asked was: is it us or does Joe Biden stutters seem to be way worse?
Would you ever dream of letting your kid on a school bus that Joe Biden was driving?
That's another, that's a question they should have asked.
Would you be relieved to know that Biden thinks his nuclear football is actually just one of those toys where you pull the string and the cow says moo?
What brand of car battery do you think is being used to animate Joe Biden's corpse puppet?
Those would be the questions that they should have asked.
Not is he too old.
Hey, would you say Biden's brain is more of a liquid or a gas at this point?
Those would be the questions they should ask.
Thank you.
After the debate, there was mounting pressure on Biden to drop out.
The White House and the president himself denied that he was suffering from anything more than a bad day or a cold or a jet lag.
There were newspaper stories about Hunter Biden, the president's convicted son, keeping by his side and warning all White House staffers that anyone who even hinted at the truth would be fired.
Really?
That message quickly was leaked to the press.
Soon, the White House press corps suddenly discovered that they were being misled by the president's press secretary.
No kidding.
There were lots of tortured questions and broken hearts, but the message was the same.
The president is in good health and is going to run for reelection this fall and carry on serving for four more years after he defeats Trump.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Boy, you know, when you put it like that, I guess it is pretty funny.
He's going to defeat Trump.
Okay.
On Monday, July 15th, Biden took off on Air Force One on a campaign trip to Nevada, a toss-up state that Biden won in 2020 by a little more than 30,000 votes.
On Tuesday, he gave the keynote address to 5,000 members of the NAACP at its annual convention.
And did you see video from that?
He couldn't even read his own speech.
It was a disaster.
In the middle of sentences, he would just go, ah, anyway.
He's reading.
He's reading.
Okay.
The next day, the president, apparently, stricken while campaigning with a yet-to-be-revealed illness, broke from his schedule and made a police escort race to Air Force One after initially telling police they were heading to the nearest emergency room.
So something happened to him.
That's what Alex Jones actually reported.
Well, that's because what happens in Vegas, Jimmy Stacey.
Stays in Vegas.
A series of blog posts, local police reports, internet messages, and report in the Daily Mail disclosed further details on Biden's trip to Las Vegas and his abrupt return home to Delaware.
I'm pretty sure he was having bone surgery to make himself eight inches taller than he previously was.
You see how much taller Joe Biden's gotten?
He's no taller than Benjamin Netanyahu.
Thank you.
I went over these reports this week with a senior official in Washington who helped me fashion an account of a White House in complete disarray, culminating in the president's withdrawal from the race.
It's a story not unlike Seven Days in May, the Cold War thriller in which a colonel played by Kirk Douglas foils a coup staged by a general played by Burt Lancaster.
None of what you read below comes from an official account by the White House.
None of what you read below comes from an official account by the White House.
Okay.
By the way, over a century ago, Smedley Butler realized he was actually just a highly decorated corporate mercenary who was actually tasked with defending international money interests rather than defending America.
And the reason we don't see the new Smedley Butler today is because the money is too good.
Okay.
So at this point, according to Emily Goodin, a Daily Mail reporter who was in the traveling press pool.
So they have a press pool that travels with the president, right?
And they get on the plane.
The president was deathly pale, and Air Force One flew at maximum speed to Delaware, where the president has a weekend retreat at Rehoboth Beach.
The press pool was told that Biden had COVID.
Nothing more was said on Air Force One.
Well, how pale was he?
He was so pale, people suddenly remembered how he wrote the crime bill that locked up three-quarters of the majority of black and brown people.
That's how pale he was.
Okay.
After Biden's return to Delaware, the White House told the public that Biden had contracted COVID infection and would be in isolation.
He was said to have upper respiratory symptoms, a runny nose, a cough, and that he was fatigued.
Okay.
That was the last draw for a core group of congressional leaders, government officials, and some senior Biden funders who are withholding huge amounts of committed contributions.
There was pressure on donors to come across on their pending commitments, the official told me.
It was understood that Biden had a physical problem in Las Vegas, and the family was saying no to continued pressure from donors and senior Democrats in Congress to withdraw from the presidential campaign.
Initially, the president could not be reached.
The president, what?
Initially, the president could not be reached.
And they said that while they were standing right in front of him by Saturday, July 20th, former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden.
It was not clear whether Biden had been examined or just what happened to him in Las Vegas.
The big three, the official said, referring to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries continued to be directly involved.
On Sunday morning, the official told me, with the approval of Pelosi and Schumer, Obama called Joe Biden after breakfast and said, here's the deal.
We have Camo's approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.
Oh, it's that kind of loyalty that gets you ahead in Washington.
Am I right?
Oh.
So they're saying, well, we think we have the approval from Kamala.
We told her to giggle Like an idiot, once just once for yes and twice for no.
So, the 25th Amendment provides that when the president is determined by the vice president and others to be unfit to carry out the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall assume those duties.
A key factor in this decision to force Biden out of office by invoking the 25th Amendment was a series of increasingly negative polls on the president's standing against Trump that had been commissioned by funders.
That's what it was.
That's what did this.
That's what this is.
The official who has decades of experience in fundraising told me that Obama emerged as the strongman throughout the negotiations.
He had an agenda and he wanted to seek it through to the end, and he wanted to have control over who would be elected.
That means he's talking about Obama, right?
Wow.
So, this is the kind of stuff that crack White House Press Corps missed.
This is the kind of stuff that they missed.
And nobody knew Joe Biden was in mental decline.
He gets to know where to go, doesn't know what to do.
There he goes.
Whoops!
Thank you.
Oh, look, they're all pointing.
Oh, here he comes.
Remember this?
Forgets to take his foot out of the pedal and fall straight over.
At least he didn't break his hip.
positive accompanied by the director general of the international labor organization And to say to President Biden, can you hear me, President Biden?
This is a historical moment for Brazil.
Look at this.
And for the U.S. President Biden, can you hear me?
You can?
Yes, good.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
Thank you.
This is going to be tough if you're going to try and put this coat on.
I see this.
I see this.
And there is those requests.
Okay, but he's a real.
What their cost.
2, 10, 12, 15.
Oops, stepping on them.
Anyway.
And here he is.
Now he's going to crap his pants right there.
Okay.
Distinguished guests.
Please welcome the Honorable Lloyd J. Austin.
And then she says, please don't do that here.
Oh, remember this?
He doesn't know where to go.
Mr. President, thank you.
Okay, he's in president.
He has no idea what at the end of the day.
He's a momentous event.
The word thank you.
Kind of inadequate, but for all the millions whose lives will be saved, for the community, food, and shelter by someone they may have never met before.
Oh, they're not going to be able to do that.
We are a community that relies on family, on Ohana, whether by blood or by friendship.
But like many others, my son's home burned down.
Oh, this is him in Maui.
Oh, geez.
What do you do next?
Four more years.
Four more years.
Oh, God.
Four more years.
So he reads.
I've been a senator since I was 29 years old.
Never left government.
The fall.
He had tied that fall.
He decided to.
Look, I shouldn't get into this problem.
Never forget America is the strongest when we lead not only by our example of our power, but by the power of our example.
You can clap for that.
As President Lincoln said, we'll never forget.
Lying around.
And that's him lying around, actually.
They're trying to erase black history.
We're going to write black history because it's American history.
On Memorial Day, I proudly stood with a black man.
Just checking this afternoon.
Good afternoon.
will not bring Israel, will not bring down, will only bog down Israel and Gaza.
What's your response to that, sir?
There's Stanny here.
Where's Teddy Hoyer?
Stanny Hoyer.
I hear him in the back.
He's to begin the, he's everybody the beer.
Well, Stanny Hoyer lives on the western shore of Delaware in Maryland.
The thing about, I'll just, let me put it this way.
I remember when I was vice president and things weren't going too well.
Okay.
Wow.
That's fantastic.
That's that's Okay.
All right.
So that's the story.
They were going to force him out.
Joe Biden got forced out.
And it was because the donor class didn't want to give the money anymore because his polling was bad.
Not because he's demented.
That's why.
So democracy's on the ballot.
You don't live in a democracy.
If you think you live in a democracy, you're a chump.
So this guy's the FBI guy who said we're going to stop Trump.
He got his text messages got revealed.
We're going to stop Trump.
And then they lied to the FISA court 17 times so they could tap Trump's phone, not only his phone, but everybody in his campaign's phone.
Remember, it was him and Lisa Page, a former lawyer for the Bureau.
They accused the Trump administration of violating their privacy after it provided explosive texts to the news media.
So this is real.
So the Biden administration just okayed a payment of $1.2 million, so a million dollars to that guy and likely a similar payment to Lisa Page through a settlement of a likely - so the lawsuit, so they bring a lawsuit that Justice Department settles lawsuit with former FBI officials targeted by Trump.
No, Trump was targeted by them.
And then they got exposed because their text messages got exposed showing that they were conspiring together to try to stop Donald Trump from becoming president.
And now this guy sues the Justice Department in a case that he's going to lose.
And so what does Joe Biden's Justice Department do?
They settle and give him $1.2 million because they knew he was going to lose the case, but they wanted to take care of him.
This is corruption.
This is corruption.
The Justice Department settled a lawsuit on Friday with two former FBI officials who had accused the Trump administration of violating their privacy by sharing their text, disparaging former President Donald J. Trump with the news media, according to court documents.
As a part of the settlement, the government agreed to pay the former officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, concluding at least some of the litigation.
The FBI accusing Donald Trump of violating the FBI agents' privacy is like Harvey Weinstein accusing you of sexual harassment.
The amount was not disclosed in court filings, but Mr. Strzzok's law firm said he got $1.2 million.
Their text incited a political firestorm after the Justice Department in 2017 invited reporters to review them at night before handing them over to Congress.
Then a senior FBI counterintelligence agent who helped oversee the Bureau's investigation into the Trump campaigns, possible ties to Russia in 2016, Mr. Strzzok exchanged inflammatory messages with Ms. Page, our bureau lawyer involved in Republicans, seized on the text to try to discredit the investigation.
The agreement is likely to anger Mr. Trump, who has railed against this pair for years and leveled baseless accusations that the investigation was a witch hunt.
Well, we all know it was a witch hunt.
The Russia collusion was a conspiracy theory concocted by the FBI, the CIA, and the Hillary Clinton campaign.
Mr. Strzok drafted the memo opening the investigation, which was approved by his superiors.
In 2019, Mr. Strzok and Mr. Page filed separate laws.
Mr. Strzok was suing the Justice Department that it violated his.
Mr. Strzok is seeking to be reinstated for his job so he can retire with full benefits.
The agreement was the second time the Justice Department has reached settlement with the former Bureau of Physicist.
In 2018, the department fired Andrew McCabe as FBI director because he lied just hours before he was scheduled to retire.
Under the settlement, McCabe was able to officially retire, receive his pension, and other benefits and collect about $200,000 in missed pension payments.
In May, the Justice Department disclosed that it had reached a tentative settlement.
So they're just giving out money, your money, to these criminals.
Republicans dismay.
At the congressional hearing the next month, Representative Jim Jordan asked Attorney General Merrick Garland about the proposed settlement.
So you go after the president and you get rewarded for doing so, according to the Justice Department, Mr. Jordan said.
Mr. Garland responded, it's not a question of reward.
It's a question of the government paying for violating the law.
Can you look up what the text said, that guy's texts?
Peter Stroke.
Isn't it amazing that they don't include it in this article?
This is the...
This is the corrupt New York Times who gave themselves awards.
They got Pulitzer Prizes for reporting on Russia Gate, a made-up fake conspiracy theory that they pushed.
They got Pulitzer Prizes for reporting garbage.
That's your New York Times.
If I did that, just like Joe Rogan said about COVID, imagine if it was comedians and podcasters saying what CNN was saying, calling Pulitzer Prize-winning medicine horse to wormer and saying it's poison and saying that you should take an experimental medical treatment.
And then people have all these adverse events.
Imagine if it was podcasters doing that, but it wasn't.
It was the corporate news saying that.
Now, no price to pay.
No, no, he won't.
We'll stop it, Stroke texted back.
Trump is never going to become president, right?
Right.
Page, who also worked on Miller step, responded.
Stroke responds, no.
No, he Won't.
We'll stop it.
Stroke texted back.
Thank you.
Isn't it amazing that they don't have that in that article?
So, can you read those?
Can you read that again?
What did the text say?
So, what I have his name is Strzz.
Strzz.
Okay, so Strzok.
So, this is the paragraph before.
Strzz, who worked as a senior role on the Clinton email investigation before joining the staff on the special counsel, reportedly wrote to Paige, an attorney, that the two would stop the president from being elected.
They have Trump is not ever going to become president, right?
Right.
Paige, who also worked on Mueller's staff, responded, no, no, he won't.
We'll stop it.
Stroke.
So that's a guy, an FBI guy, a head top FBI guy in charge of investigating the president, saying we're going to stop him from becoming president.
That he just got paid a million point two dollars, $1.2 million because those texts got exposed.
A guy who was leading the investigation into Donald Trump, a bullshit charge of him colluding with Russia.
Joe Biden's Justice Department, this just settled, because the guy was going to lose that case if it went to court.
So they're taking care of the people who lied for the establishment.
That's what they're doing.
People who are doing the dirty work for the establishment of undermining Donald Trump's presidency and pushing a conspiracy theory to discredit Donald Trump, they're now being paid off for doing that work.
That's the government paying them off.
That's the establishment.
This article goes on and says, because of his texts, messages, we did not have confidence that Strzz's decision to prioritize the Russia investigation was free from bias, the report said.
That's right.
And he now gets a million, $1.2 million for being corrupt.
And they say Donald Trump is corrupt.
This is amazing.
Katie Pavlich says Strzok was going to lose this lawsuit because, like a dum-dum, he sent the insurance policy text messages on a government device where he knew he had no privacy rights.
Biden's Department of Justice issues this settlement just in case Trump were to win in November.
Thank you.
He was not going to win this case.
He said those things on government devices.
Biden administration launders $1.2 million payment to Peter Strzok and likely a similar payment to Lisa Page through a settlement of a likely doomed lawsuit.
And of course, there will be no outrage in the country over this because the media says it's not outrageous.
They say that Trump was attacking that guy.
That's how my old roommate's going to see it.
He's going to read it in the New York Times.
He's going to hear it on MSNBC.
Oh, good.
They took care of that guy that Trump was attacking.
No, that guy's a criminal.
And he was going to lose that lawsuit.
And Joe Biden's Justice Department just gave that guy a $1.2 million payoff for doing their dirty work.
So Lisa Page says to Strzok, Trump's never going to become president, right?
Right?
Strzok says, no, he won't.
We'll stop it.
Meaning the FBI.
He also texted on August 26, 2016.
I just went to a Southern Virginia Walmart.
I could smell the Trump support.
Lisa Page says back, yep, out of out to lunch, we both hate everyone and everything.
He then says, I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office, that there's no way he gets elected, but I'm afraid we can't take their risk.
It's likely an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40.
I don't understand that one, exactly what that means.
I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy's office.
That, oh, so she said there's no way that he's going to get elected.
He says, I want to believe that, but I'm afraid we can't take that risk.
So we need an insurance policy.
It's like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you're 40.
So it's this.
So this what they're doing, this Russia gate, it's like an insurance policy.
That's what he's saying.
How is this not treasonous?
And they, and Joe Biden just gave that guy $1.2 million because those texts showing him being a corrupt criminal trying to undermine democracy got exposed.
The whole goddamn thing is corrupt.
Your media is corrupt.
Your government is corrupt.
Your Justice Department is corrupt.
And pretending, and that's why they have to pretend that Trump invented lying in Washington, D.C. And Trump invented corruption in Washington, D.C. The whole thing is corrupt.
These people who claim that they're putting democracy on the ballot are the people who are undermining democracy at every turn.
It's a comedy now.
Now you don't even get to vote for the person who's the nominee.
It was all set up.
Holy shit.
Has it not outrage you?
Are you outraged?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Can you believe this?
I mean, this is.
And every fucking moron I know in Hollywood is going to think that this was a good thing they gave this guy $1.2 million because he was being attacked by Trump.
