Colbert & Robert Reich Spew PURE BULLSH*T About “Choosing Democracy”!
There’s little question anymore that political elites—Democrats and Republicans alike—are part of a so-called "Uniparty" controlled by billionaire interests, and both parties cater to the same oligarchs rather than the public. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss former Clinton era labor secretary Robert Reich’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where the two agree that it’s necessary to get big money out of politics, but they expose their own hypocrisy given that Democratic campaigns often outpace Republicans in billionaire backing. Jimmy points out that economic inequality has worsened instead of improving under both Democrats and Republicans, in particular citing the 2008 bank bailout without reforms, while he also notes that Democrats talk a big game about promoting democracy but rig their own primaries across election cycles. Plus segments on a Nebraska town hall audience jeering at GOP Rep Mike Flood after he gaslit them about universal healthcare and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro responding to the FBI’s $50 million bounty on him by offering his own $50 million reward for anyone sharing the full, unedited Epstein client list. Also featuring Mike MacRae and Stef Zamorano. And a phone call from Liam Neeson!

This is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hello, James.
This is fellow comedian Liam Neeson.
How are you, my old friend and brother in comedy?
Fellow purveyor of shenanigans.
Oh, brother, here we go.
As I've said before, you're a fine actor, but you're not a comedian.
I have indeed heard your hot take on this topic.
But this erroneous opinion was offered before the release and smashing success of my reboot of The Naked Gun in theaters now.
Have you read the glowing reviews?
Everyone thought the movie was hilarious.
I'm as much a comedian as anybody who ever lived.
That doesn't make you a Liam.
Did you write the jokes for that movie?
Well, of course not.
Don't be silly.
When you go on stage and you do your stand-up comedy routine, did you personally write all of those jokes?
Yes.
Oh, good lord, you're really making this harder than it needs to be.
There are people who will write them for you.
Then I wouldn't be a real comedian.
I'd be a stage actor.
Jimmy, please, that's offensive.
You can't just recategorize what it is you do on a whim.
There are people who have honed the craft of stage acting for decades.
You cannot just steal their valor like that.
Okay, fine.
Never mind.
Considering my new category of undeniably hilarious comedian person, I'm afraid I can no longer be a character on the Jimmy Dore show.
I don't understand.
Why not?
Jimmy, as a shrewd student of the comedic arts like me, you know full well that you can't make comedy out of something that is already funny.
It's as bulletproof as the rule of three.
Okay.
It's like when you see a B-room headliner doing a Rodney Dangerfield impression in his act and then does actual Dangerfield jokes.
It's like, what the fuck is going on here?
How can you parody someone who's even funnier than you are?
Good name names.
I'm not sure I agree with this analogy.
It made sense to have a Liam Nason parody when I was an aging action star doing movies like Tuskbreaker 2, Rise of the Mastodons.
But now I've rebranded as a funny man.
It simply won't work.
This character must be retired.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that, Liam.
We always enjoyed your phone calls.
Oh, no, make no mistakes, so did I, very dearly so.
Those phone calls were the highlight of my every two months or so.
I will miss them, but they must end in the name of the never-ending struggle for comedic integrity.
What are you going to be doing instead?
A fantastic new development in my life.
Completely unforeseen.
And it is, to say the least, a total game changer.
What's that?
Jimmy, I am in love.
Oh, God.
For the first time since my beloved wife passed away in 2009.
After her death, I swore off love and romance for the rest of time until I got to Irish Heaven, where my wife would be waiting for me in a dinghy made of soda crackers to float in a lake of whiskey.
But unexpectedly, I met this wonderful woman.
That all changed.
That wonderful.
That's wonderful to hear, William.
Who is this woman?
Why, my co-star in The Naked Gun, Pamela Anderson.
The Pamela Anderson, the one and the same.
Who would have imagined, of all the people in the world to fall in love with, I fell in love with Pamela Anderson?
Right, okay.
The sex symbol who dominated our pop culture for nearly 20 years, defined what a sexually attractive woman was, still looks amazing, and is 15 years my junior.
Who would have funk it?
Truly amazing.
A woman whom everyone has seen on video, madly copulating with the man and enthusiastically fallating him to completion.
This shrinking violet is the damsel who caught my eye and won my heart.
Love truly does work in mysterious ways.
Yeah, it's a real head scratcher.
And Jimmy, we are as giddy as school children.
We can't keep our hands off each other, gazing into each other's eyes and coining new lovey-dovey pet names for one another that would make Navy SEAL's projectile vomit.
Would you like to hear something?
No, no, I have a feeling the show wouldn't recover from that.
We should probably just move on.
Oh, and you talk about recovery, this woman, Jimmy.
Our love-making sessions are so incredibly intense.
My once legendary recovery time is severely tested by how utterly spent I am.
But you know how it goes.
You need to dust yourself off and get back in there.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you for that.
We got to go.
Fair enough, old friend.
Go with God.
Pamela and I have a new script we need to read, just sent by my agent.
It's entitled The Naked Gun 2: Rise of the Mastodons.
Au revoir, mon ami.
So good luck bullshit.
can't afford why he's fomenting this uh i so he was so robert reich clinton's labor secretary went on stephen colbert and he said these are my thoughts on how we save democracy see Are the same today as when we last spoke on the Colbert report in 2010?
So do you want to hear?
He says we need to get big money out of politics.
I think everybody's for that.
But that's not what he says.
And that's not exactly what Colbert says.
Let's watch what they say.
Last time we spoke was 15 years ago.
Yes, you haven't changed.
Neither of you.
On the Colbert report.
And then, of course, I couldn't really agree with what you were saying or really even understand what you were saying.
But one of the things that you said in that interview has stuck with me ever since.
We were talking about economic inequality in the United States and what the fruit of that would be.
And you said at the time, here's the choice.
Well, can I just say how economic inequality got really exacerbated in the United States?
How about when Barack Obama took over and he made sure the bankers got their bonuses while he kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes?
How about that?
How about when he made sure that you could still go bankrupt if you got sick by giving you a right-wing healthcare plan that was invented by the same people invented Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation?
And so income inequality got even worse during Barack Obama.
So again, they're not going to go after the real problem.
The real problem is the uniparty, and they all work for the same people.
And it's the handful of billionaires that actually run everything.
And so, okay, so let's, so they're going to talk about income inequality.
And what are the reactions that do the populists make when we have incredible income?
By the way, we have greater income inequality today than we've ever had in the history of our country.
Worse than the Gilded Age.
Okay.
And remember what the Gilded Age means.
The Gilded Age means that there's a thin veneer of gold above everything that's masking the rot underneath in our society.
That was why they call it the Gilded Age.
Now we're worse than the Gilded Age.
We have.
Either we have reform.
And in this country, we have always chosen when we understand the nature of a problem, we always choose reform.
Reform that enlarges the circle of prosperity for most people.
We've always chosen reform.
No, we haven't.
We didn't choose reform in 2008 when Wall Street crashed the economy after deregulating the Wall Street investment banking and turning it into casino hopping.
We never reinstituted Glass-Steagall.
We never did that.
Okay, we never gave people health care that wouldn't bankrupt them.
We never did that.
We never did any of that stuff.
We had Occupy Wall Street, and then they learned how to turn the country against each other.
Who's they?
The people who run the media and the same people who run the government, the billionaire class.
They turned those people because the right and the left came together on Occupy Wall Street.
And so they turned us against each other, calling half the country racist, white supremacists, sexists, fascists.
And the Democrats are supposed to be protecting democracy, even though they don't have democracy in their primary.
They rigged both their primaries, 2016 and 2020.
And then in 2024, they just didn't even have one.
So there's actually more democracy in the Republican Party, for sure, as a fact, than there is in the Democratic Party.
So again, this idea that you're voting for democracy is just talking points from a billionaire class.
And that's what they're doing right here.
So let's watch this.
Or in this country, we have always chosen when we understand the nature of a problem, we always choose reform.
Reform that enlarges the circle of prosperity for most people.
Or we have a backlash, an angrier politics that picks on immigrants or foreign trade or blames the poor or even the rich.
I was really hoping the first half of that statement would be true.
I kept on waiting for, I think you said at the time, like the tap of justice to be opened a little bit, just so those at the top could preserve their position.
Because this second half leads ultimately towards some form of revolution.
Would you please eraculate as to where we go from here?
Because I think we know which one of these two is it turned out to be.
Well, I think we have no.
So he's pretending that there was a real choice in our election in 2024.
There wasn't.
The same stuff that's happening was going to happen.
Let's remember that Barack Obama built those cages that they used to cry about Donald Trump putting immigrants in.
Barack Obama deported twice as many immigrants as Hispanics as Donald Trump did in his first term.
Without any due process, by the way, also, without any due process.
So except to hope and work for democracy.
We have to hope and work for democracy, except when Democrats are in power.
We don't talk about oligarchs.
We don't talk about billionaire money.
We don't talk about democracy in our primaries.
We don't talk about unrigging the voting system.
I'm not supposed to have to hope and work for that.
I'm supposed to have lived in that for the last 200 years.
So, yeah.
What is he talking about?
And also, the people they blamed?
Did you see here that?
The big tent they have of both poor people and global trade?
Yeah.
What are you talking about?
Oh, that sad group.
Oh, Intel communities and immigrants.
Make the rule of law again the rule of our country.
How do you?
I'm just curious.
I agree.
I agree with you.
How do we make the rule of law the rule again in our country?
The rule of law.
You mean the fascist rule of law when you force everybody to take an experimental medical treatment or they couldn't go to work or you closed down their workplace or they couldn't go to college or they couldn't go to school or they couldn't travel.
You mean that kind of rule of law?
Or how about the rule of law where the FBI, the CIA, and the entirety of the media concocts a hoax to frame the sitting president of the United States as a traitor to our country so you can undermine our democracy?
You mean that kind of rule of law?
You mean go back to that kind of rule?
Or how about when Joe Biden pardons every person in his family because they were taking payoffs from foreign countries?
You mean that kind of rule of law?
How about the rule of law where you censor people trying to report on Hunter Biden's laptop?
You mean that kind of rule of law?
How about all the presidents go to The Hague to be tried like Nazis for the Nazi war crimes they all did?
Yeah, how about we just tortured some folks?
Okay, I guess we're moving on.
You mean the rule of law when Barack Obama didn't prosecute the people who did an illegal war and then ordered a torture program worldwide to cover it up?
And he said, I'm not going to prosecute them.
You mean that kind of rule of law?
How about the Holocaust they just did in Gaza in front of your dumb face?
Yeah, how about that kind of rule?
How about the rule of law where Barack Obama killed an American citizen, a teenager, extrajudicially without any just did it with a drone and then bragged about it?
You mean that kind of rule of law?
So these guys, again, it's just, they just concoct this phony situation where the Democrats are for democracy and the rule of law, even though every piece of evidence of long-term and short-term shows you the exact opposite.
They haven't had a real primary in the Democratic Party for 10 years, for a decade.
They rigged it in 2016.
They rigged it in 2020.
And then they didn't even have a primary in 2024.
They just appointed the Wall Street's darling, which was Kamala Harris, after they committed a coup, in the words of Jim Gaffigan, they committed a coup so they could preserve democracy.
Well, we do do that a lot around the world.
Why wouldn't they do it here?
What a lot of the last campaign was fought over.
It didn't move the majority of America.
He's saying that's what a lot of the last campaign was fought over, meaning 2024.
It was fought over the rule of law and democracy.
The rule of law.
You know, the rule of law, meaning we get to use lawfare against our political opponents, not only the former president, but everybody, his lawyers and everybody around him, we're going to prosecute all those people.
How about we over-prosecute January 6th people, something that was rigged, instigated, and concocted by the FBI so we could criminalize a political movement.
The rule of law.
Joe Biden was demented for four years and they lied to you in concert, all of them.
The political class, the U.S. media, everybody, the newspaper, they all lied to you.
You mean that kind of rule of law where you're duped into voting for a demented guy?
I mean, that kind of rule of law.
This, this is the kind of stuff that makes me think that they really believe it.
That's what I can't get over is how he said, yeah, we were, you know, the last campaign, that's what we were fighting about.
But the country didn't choose the rule of law and democracy.
That's what he's saying right here.
Let me.
Yes, he's a character actor.
He's doing his character.
I mean, that's...
Let me back this up.
Again, the rule of our country.
How do you?
I'm just curious.
I agree.
I agree with you.
That was what a lot of the last campaign was fought over.
It didn't move the majority of Americans.
Because that's not what the campaign was about.
So you're pretending that's what the campaign was about.
The rule of law, democracy.
It was the exact opposite.
It was someone being installed by the oligarchy without a primary, without a vote from the American people.
That's what it was about.
Because that's why it wasn't about.
So he's just making this up that that's what it was about.
Anyway, now we know it doesn't matter who the president is because Israel was going to be taught.
Israel's always been the president of the United States.
It's always been Israel.
Is it the rule of Noahide law?
I'm just curious, how do you actually make that a reality?
Do you think?
Because it's an excellent goal, but how do you make that immediate in people's lives so they make that a motivating factor?
You get big money out of politics.
But not when, so I just want to let you know.
So he that gets a big cheer.
So he, so they act like we're the good guys.
We're the choir boys.
We're the Boy Scouts.
We want to get money out of politics.
Oh, really?
Because I don't know if you know, in 2020, Biden had nearly twice as many billionaire supporters, 230 versus 130, giving him a broader base among the ultra.
He had twice as many billionaire donors as Donald Trump in 2020.
What about 2024?
Well, in 2024, president election, Kamala Harris had more billionaire donors than Donald Trump.
So you mean that kind of get money out of so I thought that's what we were voting.
That's not what the campaign was about.
I like this the melons were supporting Trump.
That's interesting.
The scumbag melons.
I like this.
This guy, Bobby Bruce, says absolute nonsense.
If we get big money out of politics, how are we going to get Beyonce and Taylor Swift to play at our political rallies?
Yeah.
Get big money out of orgies, I say, Jimmy.
Just when you too many big money bloated orgies.
Get big money out of politics.
Just when you thought your Quixotic unicorn hunt couldn't be any less realistic.
You got somebody to say, hold my beer.
We're going to get big money out of politics.
That's how it's so simple.
It's like as good as a John Lennon lyric.
Give Peace a chance.
Pete Holmes have a great joke about how stupid his lyrics.
Give Peace a chance.
Thanks, John.
Yeah, we'll try, John.
We'll try.
There's all this generalities, no specifics from this weird hip dysplasia dwarf.
I just saw you go democracy.
We got a democracy again.
Robert Reich knows how to pull down a conversation to hyperbolic, slogan airing faster than America can send another billion dollars to the most moral army in the world.
So anyway, let me play it once all the way through just to see the sincerity in the lying that Stephen Colbert did.
Just the way they just have to frame everything 100% dishonestly so they can sleep at night.
And their crowd loves it.
It eats it up.
They're like trained seals.
Last time we spoke was 15 years ago.
Yes, you haven't changed.
Neither of you.
On the Colbert rapport.
And then, of course, I couldn't really agree with what you were saying or really even understand what you were saying.
But one of the things that you said in that interview has stuck with me ever since.
We were talking about economic inequality in the United States and what the fruit of that would be.
And you said at the time, here's the choice we have: either we have reform.
And in this country, we have always chosen when we understand the nature of a problem, we always choose reform, reform that enlarges the circle of prosperity for most people, or we have a backlash, an angrier politics that picks on immigrants or foreign trade or blames the poor or even the rich.

I kept on waiting for, I think you said at the time, like the tap of justice to be opened a little bit, just so those at the top could preserve their position.
Because this second half leads ultimately towards some form of revolution.
Would you please oraculate as to where we go from here?
Because I think we know which one of these two is it turned out to be.
Well, I think we have no choice, Stephen, except to hope and work for democracy and to make the rule of law again the rule of our country.
How do you, how do you, I'm just curious.
I agree.
I agree with you.
That was what a lot of the last campaign was fought over.
It didn't move the majority of Americans.
I'm just curious, how do you actually make that a reality?
Do you think?
Because it's an excellent goal, but how do you make that immediate in people's lives so they make that a motivating factor?
get big money out of politics i so i it makes me think that shit libs like stephen colbert actually believe the garbage they're saying that It's like he's been telling himself this lie for so long, for 10 years straight, he's been telling himself this lie.
He actually believes it.
Have you not met actors?
What do you think?
Do you think that's what an actor is, a hollow shell of a whore?
You know, then you just put words in them and they believe them and it's really convincing and they get awards and shit.
So sometimes the intel agencies, remember, they're being funded through USAID.
Obama made that legal.
So that's how this guy got, they got the laughs out of late night.
They got that part done of the plan.

So, this Republican representative in Nebraska is trying to tell people that they don't get to have universal health care.
And he tries to use this very manipulative way to get people to hate each other instead of hate the oligarchs who make health care so expensive.
100% more expensive in the United States than the rest of the Western world.
And let's listen.
So, this is in Nebraska.
Remember, this is in Nebraska.
Ready?
It talks about two big changes to the Medicaid program.
One of those changes is that if you are able to work and you are able-bodied, you have to work.
If you choose not to work, you do not get free health care.
You do not get free health care.
So they're booing him for saying this.
Now, because they know that when they lose their job, they lose their health care.
And a lot of people want to work, but when they lose their job, they have to go on Medicaid.
And so having this requirement that you have to have a job to be on Medicaid kind of goes against the stopgap, what it's supposed to be.
Anyway, so these are people in Nebraska that are booing him.
And by the way, that's very manipulative.
How many 28-year-olds do you know who A, don't want to work and B, use a lot of healthcare?
What?
I don't know any 28-year-olds who are using up the health care.
So this is just another way to keep you paying 100% more for your health care than the rest of the world.
And what, go ahead, turn up Kurt.
And I get fucked anyway.
How about that?
What?
What?
Say it again, Kurt?
How about if I am working and I paid into health care and I get fucked anyway?
That's right.
What is he even talking about?
Because these are all people who are working, who have health care.
And then when they go to use it, then when they go to use it, they get screwed.
I had a kidney stone.
The lady walks in.
The first person they send in my room is the lady from the office who's got to take my $3,500 copay.
I have insurance.
I've been paying thousands and thousands of dollars.
I spend at least $10,000 a year alone on myself just for insurance.
Yeah.
China has better health care.
So then when I get sick, I got to go spend another $3,500 copay.
So now I'm almost $14,000 into my health care.
And guess what?
I got a bill from the fire department for an ambulance ride.
They drove me literally two miles.
They charged me two grand.
Wow.
I didn't know that the fire department sends you a bill.
I thought I paid taxes and that's what paid for the ambulance.
I'm a sucker.
It doesn't even put water in the hydrants if your house burns down.
So now we're up to 16 grand.
I paid, and I just had one thing, a kidney.
And then I got to pay for the anesthesiologist.
I got to pay for the follow-up copay to go see the doctor.
I got to pay for the radiology.
I got to pay all this.
I got to pay for the drugs at the pharmacy.
So, and I didn't.
So if they send the cops to my house, I don't get a bill from the police department.
If they send the fire truck to put out a fire at my house, I don't get a bill.
Why do I get a bill if they have to send me an ambulance?
I didn't know.
I thought you only got billed from private ambulances.
I got a $2,000 bill to drive two miles.
I don't even know if it's two miles.
It's not that far from my house.
That's over $1,000 a mile.
So let's get back to this video because he keeps trying these.
It sounds like he's doing bad comedy and they're not landing, but he sticks to his jokes.
Watch.
So this is a guy trying to get you to hate your neighbor.
This made-up person who's 28 years old, fully able-bodied, doesn't want to work, but still wants health care.
If they don't work, they're broke.
You know, and I just want to make a so the person's already broke.
So who are these people who are 28 years old, able-bodied, but they're using up all our health care?
Who are these people?
I also want to say, they're called people who don't exist.
What did you want to say?
I just want to say that the point is, like, so like people have families.
So he's saying, like, you don't, you're not working.
Now you nor your family can get health care.
It's like, what kind of person are you?
What kind of nefarious person are you that you want to deny health care to people?
And the people booing him over this are people from Nebraska.
You know, those far-left commie hippie radicals in Nebraska.
You know, the overall wearing straw-chewing tractor-driving farmers who bring us all our food are asking Americans who actually this.
So he's got more to say.
They're booing us.
Okay, okay.
So here's a question.
So here's a question.
Do you think that people who are 28 years old that can work and refuse to work should get free health care?
Yeah, they're like, hey, guess what?
We all should have health care.
This garbage of divvying up health care and having co-pays and me pay $20,000 a year to an insurance company that doesn't cover me when I get, we should get rid of all this garbage.
We should all have health care.
Because if we all had universal healthcare, if we all had Medicare, it would actually reduce what we pay for health care, everybody, by half, by 50%.
But because we give it to private companies that don't cover you anyway, we pay twice as much as the rest of the Western world.
I don't think that a majority of Nebraskans agree with you.
Yeah, the majority of Nebraskans, they love their health care.
The only people who love their health care and their health insurance are people who've never had to use it.
Again, one kidney stone.
I'm 16, 17, 18 grand, out of pocket.
Do you think that if we had Medicare for all, you'd be paying higher taxes than 18 grand a year for your health care?
Because you wouldn't.
Because you wouldn't.
So I love this guy tweets out.
He says, universal health care is such a complex beast that only 32 of the world's 33 developed nations have been able to make it work.
And people say, well, you got to wait for stuff.
Like in Canada, they have to wait.
You know, when I had my gallbladder, I had a gallbladder attack, thought I was dying.
They said it's a gallbladder attack and it's going to happen again.
You have to get it taken out.
So the last thing I wanted to do was to go through that again.
So I called to make an appointment with a surgeon.
I couldn't get an appointment just to talk about the operation for a month.
And then we'd have to schedule it for another month.
And I'm like, I'm going to have another gallbladder attack.
So I had to go out of my insurance network and pay out of my own pocket to find a surgeon who would take me sooner.
So I was going to have a two-month wait.
So this idea that you don't have weights in the United States is just crazy.
When I had my occipital neuralgia, which I got from my vaccine injury, which is nerve damage, I had to go see a neurologist.
It took me two months just to get an appointment.
Two months in California, in Los Angeles, to see a neurologist.
Reminder, left-wing dark money orgs astroturf these phony protests in response to Trump and House Republicans.
So that's what they're saying.
So all those people booing him, they're just crazy lefties from Nebraska.
Yeah.
That's what people are saying.
That's what they're saying.
They only say they want to sit on their lazy ass and have others pay for their way.
Make this a commercial.
Most Americans are sick and tired of the freeloaders.
The reason why you're screwed over on healthcare isn't because of the 28-year-old healthy people who don't use healthcare.
You're screwed over because we live in an oligarchy that wants to extract money from you when you're sick.
And that's why you pay 100% more than the rest of the Western world.
Nothing is free.
I'm not working my butt off to pay for freeloaders.
So that's how they keep you thinking that the problem with health care is your neighbor.
The problem with the healthcare is not your neighbor.
The problem with healthcare is we have vampires and parasites that charge us double and then deny us service that we've paid for when we get sick.
That's the problem.
They think you're a freeloader, the guy that paid for insurance.
Yeah.
We always hear about the freeloaders, but we never hear about the expense loaders.
And they're the ones who really bite you in the ass.
So here's that.
These people cheering for free health care for 28-year-olds who refuse to work are the people who live in their mom's basement and will not work.
Okay, so they live in their mom's basement.
They won't work, but they're going to go out to a political rally.
Here's the thing, genius.
Everyone will get health care.
And if they end up sick, they walk into an emergency room.
They will be treated.
And then guess who pays for that?
You do.
So the law is you can't deny someone health care at an emergency room.
So if we had universal health care, they could go to a less expensive form of health care than an emergency room.
And when they do go to the emergency room, guess who pays for it?
You do in higher premiums and through your taxes.
So let me read this to you.
And then guess who pays for that?
You do with much higher premiums, which is why the insurance companies are laughing all the way to the bank because you idiots are always being gaslit by that's not just the GOP.
It's the Democrats too, by the establishment against your own interests.
This isn't a Democrat-Republican issue.
This is not.
They are both bought and paid for by health insurance and big pharma.
This is not a GOP.
This is not that.
It has been proven time and time again and documented through countless empirical studies that cheap, low-cost health care for those without it lowers the cost of health care for everyone.
And it makes for a healthier society and it makes people much more productive and able to function in the economy.
But you people are always gaslit by the establishment.
You're always voting because of your, okay, I don't want to go through that.
And by the way, he mixes things in.
Mike Flood?
So this guy's pretending that so this guy's problem is he's pretend this guy, Charlie Sweeney, gets a lot right.
The part he gets wrong is that he's pretending the Democrats are the answer to this and only the GOP and Republicans are keeping you from health care.
That is, you, sir, have drunk the Kool-Aid.
Obama did this to us worse than we were.
Obama did this to us.
He promised you a public option.
You never got it.
He said, I would not sign a health care bill that doesn't have a public option.
And then he did.
And so now you don't get to buy into Medicare.
You have to go buy a product from a corporation that's going to screw you over when you get sick.
Obama did that.
Obama, you know, Project 2025 came from the Heritage Foundation?
Barack Obama's healthcare plan, Obamacare, came from the Heritage Foundation.
Yeah, we were ahead of schedule with that one.
BS, so many Americans work their entire life just to get shit healthcare that bankrupts them.
That's why those people are cherrying because they know that.
We all work our ass off and then we get sick.
We end up paying $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 out of our pocket, which people don't do in other countries.
So, the non-existent people are cheering for non-existent people.
I guess, I mean, clearly, your vote doesn't count.
The people cheering are tired of watching the super rich getting everything they want and hardworking Americans getting effed over by politicians protecting the donor class.
Because that's what that is.
Those people are falling for that bullshit line that the reason why you're paying too much for health care is because of a healthy 28-year-old.
That's what that guy's trying to tell you.
The reason why you're healthcare and you're being screwed over when you get sick is because of healthy 28-year-olds who don't use healthcare.
If they're healthy, then they won't use healthcare.
Well, I'm super grateful I won't be forced to accept an mRNA gene therapy, I guess.
Thanks, U.S. Thanks, America.
That's worth it.
So, that's why those people are booing him and cheering when he says we should give everybody health care, even that 28-year-old healthy guy.
They're cheering because they've experienced the healthcare system, they've worked their ass off their entire life, and then when they get sick, they'll go bankrupt anyway.
They know this is a rigged system.
You want to hear how rigged?
Mike Flood, do you know who he beat?
I said I texted you.
He beat Carol Carol Blood, was his Democrat opponent.
And if you look at the pictures I texted you, I believe that it's the same person.
I believe he was Mike Flood and Carol Blood, I think, are the same person.
Totally look like it.
That was your choice in their election.
Flood and blood.
Flood and blood.
I mean, it couldn't be over wrestling, Joe.
The people are like, Do you want the people running your health care who did COVID?
They already are.
Who do you think Israel gets?
Who do you think, Job?
Just like Israel, the big pharma told the president to do vaccine mandates, to shut down the economy, to have max mask mandates, to close schools.
Who do you think did that?
That was big pharma telling you that through Dr. Fauci.
That was big pharma.
Who do you think had them mandate that?
You think that the money's in it for the big pharma?
They already are.
What I want to do is get an insurance company, mean a capitalist, outfit between me and my doctor.
So, will it be perfect?
Is Medicare perfect?
No, but everybody on Medicare loves it way more than private insurance.
That's why everybody goes on it.
And if Medicare is such a bad deal, why don't they give us the public option, which is allowing you to buy into Medicare instead of paying money to a private insurance company like Blue Cross or Aetna?
Why don't they let me let the market decide?
Why can't I buy into Medicare?
If it's so bad, let me buy into it.
They won't do that because they know everyone will, and that'll be the end of private insurance as we know it.
That's why if they really believed that private health insurance was better than Medicare, they would allow you to buy into Medicare.
But they don't.
And that's the biggest tell right there.
Okay.
You know, it turns out, Jimmy, the biggest freeloaders are the U.S. politicians who get health care on our dime.
That's right.
They get healthcare.
They don't have to get Obamacare.
Remember, they were going to make them subject to the care we got, and they made sure not to let that happen.
So don't let those people think that the problem with you and healthcare is your healthy neighbor.
28-year-old healthy guys.
That's the problem with health insurance.
That's why I'm paying 100% more.
That's why when I get sick, I got to pay 20 grand out of my pocket because there's a healthy guy somewhere.
That makes absolutely no sense.
But it's able to push, it gets you to hate your neighbor.
Freeloaders!
I don't want to pay for a freeload.
You're paying for them anyway.
You're already paying Israel.
You already pay 100% more than the rest of the world for your health care.
And then when you get sick, you go bankrupt anyway.
Well, you know what they say, Jimmy?
God blesses those who bless Israel and don't pay for health care for their own citizens who paid for Israel.
Yeah, we're sending billions of dollars to Israel.
They have health care.
We don't.
Oh, we're paying pensions and health care for Nazis in Ukraine.
Maduro responds to Trump's $50 million bounty on him with a $50 million reward for the unleashed Epstein files.
So I wanted to tell people this.
I don't know if you saw this, Kurt.
Oh, yeah, I did.
I think I commented on it at her.
Today, the Justice Department and the State Department are announcing a $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicholas Maduro.
He's the president of Venezuela.
Talked it over.
Now, the reason why they're why do you think they're trying to arrest the president of another country?
That's what we're doing.
That's what that says.
That's Attorney General Pam Bondi.
So why do you think they're doing that?
So I guess they have a little extra money because they used to have a $10 million bounty on the al-Qaeda leader's head.
They had a $10 million bounty on him.
But now that they made him president of Syria, I guess they have a little extra money to kick around.
And so now they upped it and they gave it to $50 million for...
Wait, is he going to be the president of Gaza?
I wonder if he's going to be the president of Gaza.
So here she is.
Let's listen.
So just so you know why they're doing this, it's because they want their oil.
Does the people who run our country want, just like the reason why we overthrew Iran?
I mean, the reason why we overthrew, yeah, Iran in 1953, Mosadegh, democratically elected guy, because they wanted to steal his oil.
And then they installed a puppet.
So now they're trying to get rid of Nicolas Maduro and been trying to do this forever.
And then they're trying to install a guy named Juan Guaido.
Remember that?
So this is the United States being the world's terrorists.
This is not because we care about the people of Venezuela.
We don't care that Nicolas Maduro is a dictator.
We're in bed with the biggest dick to right now.
We're funding a genocide.
We don't care about people.
This is about the people who actually run this government wanting to go and steal their natural resources in Venezuela.
And that's what this is all about.
You know what they're pinning on him, right?
No.
Those gangs that came in when the illegals were in, that Venezuela was purposely sending them.
Sending them.
How did they get him here, though?
I think that was with Catholic NGOs, if I remember correctly.
So you're just going after Nicholas Maduro for that?
Not the vast infrastructure it took to bring the Fentonil and the illegals here.
It's so insane.
And not the Joe Biden administration for keeping the border open?
And not Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.
Right.
Here we go.
Today, the Department of Justice and State Department are announcing a historic $50 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Nicolas Maduro.
Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Sons to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country.
To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself, which represents a primary source of income for the deadly cartels based in Venezuela and Mexico.
Cocaine is often laced with fentanyl, resulting in the loss and destruction of countless American lives.
The DOJ has seized over $700 million of Maduro-linked assets, including two private jets, nine vehicles, and more.
Yet, Maduro's reign of terror continues.
He is one of the largest narco-traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security.
Therefore, we've doubled his reward to $50 million.
Under President Trump's leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes.
If you have any information to bring this criminal to justice, call 1-202.
So now, if you believe what she just said, you are what they call a chump.
You're a chump.
It's the CIA who brought crack cocaine into the inner cities in California.
Sinaloa, are you joking?
Is this a joke?
Yeah, no, that's a CIA operation.
They took over the cartels in the 90s.
So that's what all that is.
And if you don't think that there are powers in the United States that wanted its country flooded with fentanyl, you're also a chump.
Just like they wanted the country flooded with undocumented illegal immigrants.
That didn't just happen.
That was a policy choice.
They didn't only do it in the United States, they did it in almost all of Western Europe to the point where now Kier Starmer, the guy who used to call you a racist for being against open borders, is now demanding that the people of Britain deserve an answer of why they were subjected to an open borders experiment.
So that's so this is the, and they're playing the same kind of game here.
Go and answer the question or you'll be banned from Twitter and jailed in Britain, by the way, if you give them the answer of why that happened.
Yes.
Here's someone being funny.
Do you pay me in cash or check?
So they're just telling you that he's at the palace.
He's at the presidential palace.
Here's the information.
He's at the palace.
Hey, I heard Bibi's in town was in town, though.
You could maybe catch that one at worldwide criminal.
Yeah.
He's in Venezuela.
How many times do we have to say it?
By the way, none of this made me forget that Epstein files haven't been released.
Nice try, though.
So that's, again, that's more distraction.
That's what I said.
I think I threw the B-word in, Jimmy.
I mean, I don't mean to.
He's in Venezuela.
The Trump administration roundly mocked over a $50 million bounty for Nicolas Maduro.
We know where he's at.
He's at the presidential palace in Venezuela.
Hey, contact our man, Juan Guido, and maybe he can go deep behind enemy lines the way Bilbo, not a Juhu, did so many years ago.
So, I mean, so the Bondi accused Nicolas Maduro of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers and working with cartels to flood the U.S. with fentanyl-late cocaine.
She added that Venezuela should not be flooding the United States with deadly illicit drugs when we all know that is the CIA's job.
Yeah, no competition.
We should just, America, we should just make it a podcast at this point.
It's not a real place.
It's not a real country.
Can we just understand that?
So the phrase he's in Venezuela was actually trending on Twitter because of this.
He's in Venezuela.
So this is another Epstein Sleight of hand trying to distract you with this because they don't want to talk about Epstein.
Many users also pointed out the news of the new reward comes as the Trump administration struggles to deal with the fallout from the Epstein files.
He's in Venezuela with the Epstein files, joked a user.
He's in Venezuela, but also we need those Epstein files, said another.
He's in Venezuela.
I talked Zell Venmo.
I take Zell Venmo cash.
The Department of Justice.
So this is all funny.
So people are, so this isn't working.
What the Trump administration keeps trying to do, people see right through their bullshit.
They're just as phony as the Biden administration was.
Have you seen the new headlines from Israel?
That there's people say rabbis over there saying Trump's being punished for not bombing Iran enough.
So that's why they were linking him.
Oh, really?
It would make sense why the Wall Street Journal did it, wouldn't it?
Yes, that would make sense why the Wall Street Journal leaked that.
Because Trump said they're starving the Gazans, but that was a big no-no.
Oh, so that was.
I don't know if that's true, but I just saw those headlines today.
I mean, it makes sense, though, a little bit, doesn't it?
Venezuelan foreign minister Jan Gill released a statement characterizing the reward as pathetic and accusing Bondi of orchestrating a crude political propaganda operation because that's what it is.
We're not surprised coming from who it comes from, the same one who promised a non-existent secret list of Epstein and who wallows in scandals for political favors, Gill said, referring to the backlash Bondi faced after the Justice Department announced last month that a long-rumored client list of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein does not exist.
Maduro was indicted in the Manhattan federal court in 2020 during Trump's first presidency, along with several close allies of federal charges of narcoterrorism and conspiracy to import cocaine.
At the time, the U.S. offered $15 million reward for his arrest.
That was later raised by the Biden administration to $25 million, the same amount the U.S. provided for the capture of Osama bin Laden following the September 11th attacks.
Despite the big bounty, Maduro remains entrenched after defying the U.S., the European Union, and several Latin American governments who condemned his 2024 re-election as a sham and recognize his opponent as Venezuela's duly elected president.
Last month, the Trump administration struck a deal to secure the release of 10 Americans jailed in the capital in exchange for Venezuelans getting home scores of migrants, getting home scores of migrants deported by the United States to El Salvador under the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Shortly after, the White House reversed course and allowed the United States oil producer Chevron to resume drilling in Venezuela after the United States sanctions previously blocked it.
So here, you want to see why they're putting a $50 million bounty on Venezuelan president?
Let's watch.
Who bombs their neighboring countries every day?
Iran.
So he's saying, who bombs their neighboring countries every day?
Is it Iran?
No.
It's the Zionist state led by Netanyahu who tests bombs by destroying buildings, houses, hospitals, schools, maternity wards.
Who does that?
Not just now.
For 76 years, they've let genocide in Gaza happen.
And still, every day they kill 100 Palestinians.
60 boys and girls, women, the elderly.
They've destroyed 80% or more of the buildings and houses in Gaza.
Schools, mosques, churches, hospitals.
They've destroyed everything.
And that Western world of European elites and U.S. imperialists supported the destruction and genocide of Gaza.
A genocide.
Broadcast live on social media.
Then they went after the people of Lebanon.
And then they also killed dozens, hundreds of innocent people in Beirut.
In southern Lebanon, the noble Arab people of Lebanon, they are our brothers.
Then they went for Syria.
And they still bomb it whenever they feel like it.
Netanyahu and the Zionists.
Now they try to crush Iran.
And war has broken out where Iran has shown immense military power.
And as the Iranians themselves say, they still haven't brought out the strategic weapons.
Hang on.
That they've prepared.
What do they hang on?
God damn it.
What do we want for humanity?
What do we want?
That a nuclear war escalates?
I don't think so.
That a war escalates and starts to take on global characteristics and takes all of Central Asia, East Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and once again brings a great destructive war to the whole planet.
Those who hold political power and have driven this war with just one word could stop it.
But every day, the arrogance and supremacists throw more fuel on the fire every single day.
We in Venezuela advocate for peace, for a just peace.
And we support the Palestinian people, the people of Lebanon, the people of Yemen, the people of Syria, and the wonderful people of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
So that's why this is happening.
Because he said that.
And Trump's bosses in the Likud party, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Zionists, they made him do this.
Here it is.
This is so dumb.
It's a bigger reward than they ever offered for Osama bin Laden.
This is all more pathetic when you know it's just cope, a bone for the anti-Maduro hardliners in Florida after Chevron got a new license to operate in Venezuela.
Wait, Chevron, isn't that the one that killed all those Amazon natives land and then the guy that sued and yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Chevron that they polluted the, and then they lost the court case, and then they got the judges in America to put the guy, the lawyer, and they got a corrupt judge to put the guy on some kind of house arrest.
And then that same corrupt judge presided over a fake Trump case.
Over a fake Trump case.
That same thing.
And Trump's not rectifying any of that.
No, he's not.
Isn't that interesting?
You think Trump would?
What a joke.
It's just such a joke watching this shit now.
Who believes in this shit still?
How can you believe in America at all?
By the way, Maduro responds to Trump's $50 million bounty on him with a $50 million reward for the unleashed Epstein files.
Oh, please somebody do that.
Please somebody sit that $50 million.
What a move.
Far-right U.S. President Donald Trump appears to have thought he was being clever by increasing the U.S. reward on the head of a Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, from $25 million to $50 million, but it soon backfired.
Used to U.S. attempts to undermine and sabotage his country, he's used to attempts by the U.S. to sabotage his country.
Maduro has put the attention back where Trump was trying to deflect it away from by offering a $50 million reward for the Epstein files on sex trafficker pedophile and Trump's former best pal, Jeffrey Epstein, which Trump has refused to release despite campaigning for president on the promise to do so.
Last month, Trump spoke unintended volumes when, after being asked about the files, he squirmed and tried to pretend that Epstein was old news.
You still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
Are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
That's unbelievable.
So I think we didn't want justice for Jeffrey Trump.
Everybody wanted to know why you haven't punished the people that were doing things with him.
Is it because of so many people you can't?
That's what I think.
So things aren't, it's eight months in, and we're not even eight months in.
We're seven months into the Trump presidency, and it's completely, it seems like it's unraveling.
Although they did get their big, beautiful bill passed.
So that's all they really care about.
Yeah, everything else does not.
They got their trillion-dollar war budget.
They didn't cut anything from Doge.
None of it.
They exploded the deficit.
They gave a big another tax cut to rich people, cut health care for working people.
It's the same old story.
And they tried to wrap it up like this is some kind of victory for democracy in America, just like the Democrats try to pretend that pointing Kamala Harris as the nominee without a primary is a victory for democracy.
I can't wait to see who the next president is.
It's going to be a really great watching that.
Can you imagine the excitement of which of these two amazing parties you have to choose from?
It's going to really take things forward in a great way.
Like somebody that, I mean, what a, what a hopefully.
I can't believe people still fall.
I really can't believe that.
But, you know, Kurt, just as many, if not more people, fall for what I just showed you with Stephen Colbert saying that, oh, we think that the Democrats are for democracy and getting money out of politics.
They're the good boys.
They're the choir boys.
They're the Boy Scouts.
No, they're.
They're stupid Hollywood people and stupid New York people and stupid D.C. people, which is a minority of people, by the way, which Colbert mentioned.
The majority of people hate them.
The majority of people hate them.
All these are people that make a living being Democrats.
And I don't mean because the DNC is directly paying them.
I mean, you're an actor and you want to be good with Jimmy's old friends.
Yes.
Who I don't know why you're even upset about that.
What a favor you would have done to have those people out of your life.
What a favor.
What an absolute favor from God you had.
