Tulsi's ABOUT-FACE Into Total Warmonger! w/ Max Blumenthal
Tulsi Gabbard's pivot from anti-war activist to Trump's Iran hawk exemplifies a dangerous loss of integrity, mirroring Joe Kent's resignation and JD Vance's hypocrisy. While Trump dismisses confirmed attacks on the USS Abraham Lincoln as fake news and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr threatens censorship, the episode exposes how both parties serve Wall Street and the military-industrial complex rather than workers. With oil prices doubling and gold rising, hosts argue that bipartisan populists must unite against globalist oligarchs to prevent World War III and economic collapse, rejecting the idea that either major party offers genuine democratic accountability.

Hey, we'll be in San Antonio, Albuquerque, Houston, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Burbank, California.
That's on May 7th.
That's a Saturday.
Then we'll be in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Spokane, Tacoma.
Go to JimmyDoor.com for a link for all those tickets.
See you there.
Establishment media sets of arguments fighting.
Now, back in 2020, when Tulsi Gabbard was running for president, she was still in Congress.
She was tweeting out things like this as her opposition to Trump saber-rattling with Iran with an Iran war back then.
This is what she had to say back then.
Hey, everybody.
Good afternoon.
I am here in Washington, D.C., and just left some votes on the House floor.
Two important votes that I wanted to share with you.
There was a bill having to do with U.S. Merchant Marines, with two amendments actually to the bill that were very critical given many of the foreign policy challenges that we're facing now.
The first one had to do with a bill that I co-sponsored called the No War with Iran Act.
This legislation basically prohibits the use of any taxpayer dollars to go to war with Iran coming from the administration without congressional authorization, which to date has still not taken place.
The second amendment and bill that we voted on had to do with repealing the 2002 authorization that Congress passed to go to war against Iraq.
It is more commonly known as the 2002 AUMF authorization to use military force.
This is different from the one that was passed after 9-11 in 2001 that authorized our military to go after al-Qaeda and other affiliated terrorist groups.
This 2002 AUMF is what authorized the war against Iraq.
And unfortunately, it is an authorization that should have been repealed long ago.
Obviously, it should not have passed in the first place, but it should have been repealed long ago.
And because it still exists, it is being abused to authorize the use of military action where Congress has not authorized it.
This is specifically one of the authorizations that Secretary Mike Pompeo is citing publicly as the legal authority for this administration to go to war with Iran and specifically to take out Suleimani in that attack.
So this action taken today in Congress, which I supported, very essentially simply gets rid of that authorization to use military force.
Once again, if the president wants to go to war with Iran, the Constitution says he's got to come to Congress to get that declaration of war.
He has not come to Congress for that declaration, and therefore Congress has not, and therefore the American people, through their representatives, have not had the opportunity to debate and to cast their votes on this issue.
So wow, so that was anti-war activist Tulsi Gabbard in 2020 holding to her hard and fast position on the use of military force against Iran.
She's a real solid soldier holding fast.
Nothing's going to move her on that position.
Oh, wait a minute.
Here, after Joe Kent resigned, she put this out.
Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American people to be our president and commander-in-chief.
As our commander-in-chief, he is responsible for determining what is and is not an imminent threat and whether or not to take action he deems necessary to protect the safety and security of our troops.
That's the exact opposite of what she just said.
She just said that the Congress are the people, and that's what that was the whole point of her submitting that bill.
The office of the Director of National Intelligence is responsible for helping coordinate and integrate all intelligence to provide the president and commander-in-chief with the best information available to inform his decisions.
After carefully reviewing all the information before him, President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran posed an imminent threat, and he took action based on that conclusion.
So she's saying the exact, now the exact option, just like Trump, just like JD Vance, just like all of them, the exact opposite of what they were saying before Donald Trump became president.
They're now doing the exact opposite.
And Glenn Greenwald just let her have it.
He says, pathetic, craven, desperate for power, total and permanent drain of integrity.
I get that someone might stay in an administration to use their influence to steer it to a better direction.
That's what I was hoping.
But Tulsi has zero influence.
She's being frozen out of all the meetings they're having about the war, and she knows she's not being listened to.
And so Glenn says she has zero influence.
She's a joke.
Trump said he didn't give a shit what she thinks.
And worse, she's dumping on Joe Kent for his act of conscience and courage.
So let me bring you in, Max.
You know, there was a it's easy to say you're an idiot for supporting Tulsi, which I did.
But that's when she was saying things like that.
That's when she was stepping down as the vice chair of the DNC because she wanted to oppose the corporate takeover of the party and she wanted to support Bernie Sanders.
And she told the truth about Syria and she was pilloried for it by the military industrial.
So she took a lot of slings and arrows and she seemed 100% on board.
She was introducing bills to stop a president from doing stuff like this.
She was against the Iraq war.
And now all of a sudden, she the exact opposite.
And Trump is the exact opposite too.
So go ahead, take it wherever you'd like.
It just seems to me that this is the biggest fraudulent administration in the history of politics I've ever seen.
I've never seen something quite like this, but maybe you have.
What would you like to say about Tulsi?
It's definitely the most corrupt administration.
Makes Hunter Biden look like Ralph Nader.
But and Tulsi Gabbard may be actually a part of that corruption.
And we'll see when she gets out of the administration how she monetizes her celebrity and fame because she would not have been a household name or well-known or impersonated on Saturday Night Live if she hadn't campaigned for Trump and brought in many people, good-hearted people who thought that this would be a peace presidency.
I'm not shocked at all about the direction that Trump is going in.
Didn't vote for him.
I didn't support him.
I thought Kamala Harris deserved to be punished for supporting the genocide in Gaza, as did Biden, but I didn't, you know.
And I'm on the record saying it's better to have someone like Tulsi Gabbard in the administration than to have like, what, James Clapper or Michael Hayden or who are the other directors of national intelligence.
And it's still better.
This is proof that it's better to have Tulsi Gabbard in there because here we have someone who's on the record opposing this war who issued the national intelligence estimate determining that Iran had no plans to produce a nuclear weapon,
who we know has contradicted Donald Trump's conclusions about the Iranian threat and is now being publicly humiliated and called craven by esteemed journalists like Glenn Greenwald, who in the past had defended her against insane attacks from Hillary Clinton.
So I think this is a clarifying moment and it couldn't have come through anyone else except Tulsi Gabbard, who's done.
I mean, she's completely sapped of credibility, as is JD Vance.
And Joe Kent, who I would assume, respects both Tulsi Gabbard and JD Vance and probably owes them for his job.
I mean, he, by resigning and having the courage of his convictions, the most high-level U.S. official to resign over a war since Vietnam, he's exposed them both.
And I would be shocked if either of them can ever have any future role in government after this wreckage.
JD Vance might be able to be, I don't know, a senator, but I really can't imagine. that he will be able to escape the taint of this war, which we know he opposes, which he refuses to support in public.
And he's been able, and he's been completely unable, him and Tulsi Gabbard, they've been completely unable to bring Trump back to earth.
They have no influence in the administration.
We know it.
They're like team B. They're like the bench.
They're the bench warmers.
The team A, Susie Wiles determines who they are.
And Susie Wiles, the chief of staff, she's the most dangerous person in Washington right now.
I've said this before on your show.
She literally worked for Israel.
She worked for Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election campaign in 2020.
I actually think this, by the way, I actually think this war is going so badly that Marco Rubio might even want a way out.
Look at Marco Rubio's Twitter account.
He hasn't been tweeting anything about it.
He hasn't.
What was the main thing that Marco Rubio said, which really kneecapped Donald Trump and all the messaging around the war?
He came out of the briefing with the gang of eight in the Senate and he said, well, we had to do this because Israel was about to attack.
So we just had to go in.
So he openly admitted that this was a war for Israel and it's been all downhill from there.
So yeah, Tulsi Gabbard, she's kind of a casualty of a regime change war, ironically.
I literally, I cannot wrap my brain around exactly what people like Tulsi Gabbard or JD Vance are thinking.
Their whole career for the last 10 years have been anti-regime change wars.
You know, Trump, this is aside from Trump, but Trump doesn't have a future in Paul.
This is it.
It's over.
He's already 80 years old.
It's the last his last hurrah.
He doesn't have a future.
But JD Vance and Tulsi definitely have a future or they want one.
And I just don't understand how what Tulsi, what her game is here.
She sees Joe Kent resign.
He retains his dignity, his integrity, and his reputation.
Tulsi Gabbard does the exact opposite.
She doubles down on supporting this thing that she was bending over backwards to oppose before she worked for Donald Trump.
I don't, again, I don't know what JD Vance thinks.
He'll never be president after this, ever.
I mean, what they've done now, you remember what made Trump so popular was when they were having that debate and he turned to Jeb Bush and he said, and he just gave him a dressing down and he, everybody had a vicarious thrill to watch somebody finally get a dressing down for lying us into the Iraq war.
And now they are turning themselves into Jeb Bush.
Now JD Vance will be the Jeb Bush at the next debate.
Tulsi Gabbard will be the next Jeb Bush.
They have made themselves into a laughing stock, something that is to be pitied with derision.
I don't see how they don't see that.
So I just don't know what the F JD Vance and Tulsi could possibly get out of this.
Can you think of anything they could get out of this?
I think Joe Kent really saw the writing on the wall and understood the damage that he would incur, not just morally, but also politically, if he didn't get the hell out of there.
If he didn't get out of the liquid clown car that MAGA has become and that Trump world has become, Joe Kent actually has a political future.
I could see him as kind of a uniting Marjorie Taylor Greene type candidate in the district where he has run for Congress against Marie Glusenkamp Perez, who's become like even a joke among the kind of Chapo trap house crowd.
Like they've all turned on her.
She's like one of their favorite jokes.
Who's this?
And this is Marie Glusenkamp Perez.
They like they mock.
She's a pro-war center-right Democrat, kind of like a neocon Democrat who poses as like a cool with it kind of mom in her 30s or 40s.
And, you know, they all mock her.
Like they say like she's she's like a swag weed dealer from Portland.
She has all these like these unintentionally hilarious videos where she's just trying to seem with it.
Joe Kent lost to her by like 0.01% in the last election.
And this is a swing district in suburban Portland that has a mix of Bernie voters, kind of suburban centrists and MAGA people.
So he can come back in there, I think, and win with a unifying message like Marjorie Taylor Greene against the wars, you know, bringing the money back home.
And he saw the writing on the wall.
So why don't they see it?
Why don't JD also is this a mystery?
Well, I think when you're in the White House, having known people who've served in the White House, it changes your life.
You're flying on Air Force One.
JD Vance is taking his family to the Taj Mahal to take photos.
You're a celebrity.
You think you can walk on water.
And life just isn't the same as it was before.
And you just don't want to leave that.
That's why no one resigns.
And then you resign and humiliate Trump.
They're afraid of Trump.
Trump intimidates them.
And Trump himself is afraid of something.
And I think Trump is afraid of the dark forces that are animating this war, which emanate from Tel Aviv.
I think Trump is himself under some form of control.
So all of them are afraid.
They're narcissistic.
They love the celebrity.
At the same time, they're anguished.
They don't know how to respond.
There really is no precedent for a vice president resigning.
But here's what I would say: if the U.S. is still in this war in another month, which it likely will be, and I don't know, a Marine expeditionary force has attempted to storm Cark Island in some demented attempt to reenact the opening scene of saving Private Ryan, and they suffer heavy casualties.
I think we're going to see more resignations.
And I really cannot imagine how JD Vance or Tulsi Gabbard will even be able to justify staying in the administration.
Because the movement around Trump and many of the people around Trump, I don't think they care that much about the lives of Iranians.
I don't think they understand much about their lives.
Trump could, you know, Israel could drop a tactical nuclear weapon or nuclear weapon on Iran and they still might not care.
But when U.S. troops start coming back like they did in Iraq with no legs, with their faces burned off in coffins at Dover Air Force Base, that's the breaking point.
And that breaking point could be coming very soon.
And I don't see another option where the so-called regime in Iran just starts to unravel and then Trump gets his Venezuela scenario.

So, we talked about this in a previous segment, but Iran claims that they've hit with four missiles.
The Abraham Lincoln was struck by four ballistic missiles.
That's what they're claiming, right?
Now, the United States and Donald Trump and the military say that they didn't.
They claim to have struck USS Abraham Lincoln with ballistic missiles.
That's a lie.
It was not hit.
The missiles launched didn't even come close.
The Lincoln continues to launch aircraft in support.
No, Lincoln's actually on its way back to the United States now, and they're claiming they had a fire in the laundry room.
I'm going to guess they got hit by four ballistic missiles.
And Donald Trump did this long post.
By the way, Donald Trump has long been known for posting paragraphs that are more dense than Pete Hegseth.
Yeah, T-L-D-R Trump.
So here's what he's saying now.
So this is what Trump is.
So Trump doesn't want you to know about this, and he doesn't want you to see that they've actually blown up an oil tanker, right?
So Trump says Iran has long been known as a master of media manipulation and public relations.
Are you looking in a mirror when you say that?
Iran is a master of media manipulation.
It's a popular country for the last 30 years of Iran.
Shut up.
They are militarily ineffective and weak, but are really good at feeding the very appreciative fake news, media, false information.
Now, AI has become another disinformation weapon that Iran uses quite well, considering they are being annihilated by the day.
They show phony kamikaze boats shooting at various ships at sea, which looks wonderful, powerful, and ambitious, but these boats don't exist.
It's all false information to show how tough their already defeated military is.
The five U.S. refueling planes that were supposedly struck down and badly damaged, according to the Wall Street Journal's false reporting and others, are all in service, with the exception of one, which will soon be flying the skies.
This is real.
This is what he's saying.
Buildings and ships that are shown to be on fire are not.
It's fake news generated by AI.
For instance, Iran, working in close coordination with the fake news media, shows our great USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, one of the largest and most prestigious ships in the world, burning uncontrollably in the ocean.
Not only was it not burning, it was not even shot at.
So, again, he's contradicting his own military that says, yeah, we were shot at, but it didn't hit us.
He's saying they weren't even shot at.
The military says there was a fire on board.
He's saying there wasn't a fire.
So Donald Trump, they can't get their lies straight.
Well, he's not getting his news from the American military.
He's getting from Israeli intelligence.
That's right.
The story was knowingly fake.
And in a certain way, you can say that those media outlets that generated it should be brought up on charges for the treason, for the dissemination of false information.
He's talking about the Wall Street Journal.
Yeah.
The fact is, Iran is being decimated, and the only battles they win are those that they create through AI and are distributed by corrupt media outlets.
He's talking about the United States media outlets.
Even if that were true, we know you ain't going to do shit about it, just like you didn't do nothing about them cannibal PDF files in the Democratic Party that you're always touting.
The radical left-wing press knows this full well, but continues to he's calling the Wall Street Journal radical left-wing press.
The Wall Street neocon fucking journal.
The radical left-wing Wall Street Journal knows this very well, but continues to go forward with false stories and lies.
That's why their approval rating is so low.
And I can win a presidential election in a landslide getting only 5% positive press.
They have no credibility.
I'm so thrilled to see Brendan Carr, the chairman of the FCC, looking at the license of some of these corrupt and highly unpatriotic news organizations.
They get billions of dollars of free American airwaves and use it to perpetuate lies, both in news and almost all their shows, including the late-night morons who get gigantic salaries for horrible ratings and never get, as I used to say in The Apprentice, fired.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
So here is RT.
So this is what Donald Trump did.
He doesn't want you to see the fire burning on the USS Abraham Lincoln.
He doesn't want you to know that it got hit by missiles.
Also, there is a this is Iran.
This is a U.S., this is a ship, an oil tanker that got hit.
And Donald Trump is saying this is fake.
So RT says Trump looking to ban top U.S. media and treason charges for fake footage of Iran hitting U.S. ships.
New York Times and New York Post confirm that this Iran deadly strike on U.S. ship is real.
So there's.
So even Grok is trying to say that this is fake.
So even Grock, so that's an oil tanker they hit.
So Grok is trying to say that this is fake.
Hey, can you link me to an authentic video of March 12th Iranian drone boat attack on US-owned commercial tanker Safisa Vishnu?
So it's a U.S.-owned oil tanker.
It's called Safisha Vishnu.
It got hit and Trump is trying to say this is all fake video.
So I asked Grok, well, show me a real video, right?
So that's RT saying it's real.
That's RT's version of the video.
And so it says, here's some links.
So it linked me to this.
So Grok says this is real.
It looks like the exact same video, but let's watch.
While U.S. President Donald Trump recently claimed that he can end the war whenever he wants with Iran, Tehran on the other side has said that the war is not coming to an end anytime soon.
Iran, meanwhile, has started using its indigenously developed central missile against U.S. and Israeli positions across the Middle East.
While the attacks and counterattacks surge, Iran's deliberate strike on the U.S.-owned oil tanker, Safe Sea Vishnu, in Iraq, has risen the global tensions over oil.
As the tensions escalate, Iran has said that the Strait of Hormas will remain closed.
And there it is.
Iran attacked the U.S.-owned tanker, Safe Sea Vishnu, on March 11, 2026, near Basra, Iraq, as a retaliatory measure, following the 28th February 2026 strikes by the U.S. and Israel on Iran.
The attack involving explosive laden boats targeted the vessels during a ship-to-ship transfer in Iraqi waters, resulting in one Indian crew member's death.
Notably, the U.S. vessel had around 38 crew members and most of them are Indians.
The Iranian attack left one Indian crew member dead.
Later, the 15 other Indian crew members, along with the others, were evacuated from the burning vessel.
Another oil tanker was also caught ablaze in the Persian Gulf after coming attack in Iraq's territorial waters.
Iran has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that an underwater drone attack blew up two oil tankers in the Persian Gulf.
The ships that were attacked were Zekros and Safe Sea Vishnu.
CC Bishop.
You could see there was two ships there.

The Saint Siprishnu is a crude oil tanker sailing under the flag of Martial Islands.
Bruce in 2007, the Bananax class resident is approximately 228.6 kilometers long and 32.5 centimeters wide with a deadly capacity of about 72,970 metric tons.

Lost Faith in Media00:16:11
So that's the video that Donald Trump does not want you to see.
That's the...
He's threatening people to be charged with treason for showing you this.
Here is breaking.
Trump calls on U.S. media to stop reporting on damage and losses caused by Iran, saying it harms the United States.
Not only is he calling on them to stop reporting on it, he's threatening them with being charged with treason.
Trump administration threatens news outlets over critical coverage of Iran.
The administration of Donald Trump has warned the news outlets could have their broadcasting licenses revoked over critical reporting on the war against Iran, accusing the media of distortions.
The FCC chairman Brendan Carr said in a social media post on Saturday that broadcasters must operate in the public interest or else they're going to lose their license.
So you have to lie to people about the war.
And if you tell the truth about the war, the Trump administration will see that as harming, not that you're not operating in the public interest if you tell the truth about the war.
Is there anybody from America in charge and not the IDF?
Because this is how IDF people think.
This is how they think, exactly.
So here's the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, and here's what he says.
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions, also known as fake news, have a chance now to connect correct course before their license renewals come up.
So now they're going to threaten their licenses.
The law is clear.
Broadcasters must operate in the public interest and they will lose their license if they do not.
And frankly, changing courses in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all-time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters.
Not as low as Trump's trust, though.
The American people, the American people, have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation's airwaves.
It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake.
So they're upset.
So they're saying that the media is losing trust by reporting accurately.
They call it fake news.
Well, when a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there's something very wrong.
It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media, and we can't allow that to happen.
Time for a change.
So they're going to take away.
So he sounds like they want to take away the media's licenses.
If we lose faith in the media, that's the market.
Are we a communist country?
This is commie talking.
I agree.
The warning was the latest apparent threat from Carr, who has repeatedly attracted scrutiny for statements that appear to pressure broadcasters to conform with Trump's priorities.
Last year, for instance, Carr called on channel ABC and its distributors to find ways to change conduct to take action on comedian Jimmy Kimmel, whose late night show had been critical of the president.
We can do this the easy way or the hard way, Carr said of Kimmel on the podcast on a podcast.
ABC temporarily suspended Kimmel's show in the aftermath of those comments.
Carr's latest statement prompted swift condemnation from politicians and free speech advocates who likened his remarks to censorship.
This is a clear directive to provide positive war coverage or else licenses may not be renewed.
Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii wrote, Really?
Like, how do you this is worth?
Hang on, this is worse than the comedian stuff and by a lot.
The stakes here are much higher.
He's not talking about late-night shows.
He's talking about how a war is covered.
Aaron Tur, the director of public advocacy at the Foundation of Individual Rights and Expressions, known as FIRE, likewise denounced Carr for seeking to silence negative war coverage.
The First Amendment doesn't allow the government to censor information about the war it's waging.
Carr's latest statement came in response to a social media post from Trump accusing the fake news media of reporting that U.S. refueling planes had been struck in an Iranian attack in Saudi Arabia.
The base was hit a few days ago, but the planes were not struck or destroyed, Trump said in a truth social post.
Four of the five had virtually no damage and are already back in service.
He added that reporting to the contrary was intentionally misleading.
Low-life papers and media actually want us to lose the war, Trump wrote.
Polling shows that the war launched by the U.S. and Israel on February 28th is largely unpopular in the United States.
A recent Quinnipiac poll found that 53% of voters oppose the military action against Iran, including 89% of Democrats and 60% of independent voters.
The war has also been condemned by legal experts as a clear violation of international laws, which prohibits unprovoked attacks.
Trump, however, has offered shifting rationales as to why he believes Iran posed an imminent security.
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay, we got that.
His administration, meanwhile, has blamed the news media for turning public opinion against the war.
Yet somehow in this crew and the press just can't stop.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said, a former Fox News host, Hegseth called for patriotic reporters to write more optimistic headlines instead.
He denounced TV banners that read, for example, Mideast war intensifies.
What should the banner read?
Oh, so this is just that's Hegseth.
What?
Optimistic headlines?
You fuck.
What the?
What is he talking about?
This sounds like North Korea stuff.
This sounds like Hegseth and Trump want the U.S. media to act more like Chinese media or North Korea media.
Here's Brendan Carr.
This is what he said in 2019.
This is the guy who is now the head of the FCC.
In 2019, what he said was, should the government censor speech it doesn't like?
Of course not.
The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the public interest, which is the exact opposite of what they're saying now.
Here's how.
He meant America.
Israel can do it.
He meant America can't.
Here he is.
Israel can order it.
Yes.
Here he is in 2023.
Free speech is the counterweight.
It is the check on government control.
This is why censorship is the authoritarian's dream.
And now they're completely flipped on this.
So that tells you they're intentional liars who are purposely tricking you at all times.
They're not good people, as the great Michael Schellenberger said, that fucking Osborne Shill.
They're just doing their best.
Yeah, they're doing their best to help a real evil plan, and they're going to lie to your fucking dumb fucking face.
This is how you know the U.S. isn't winning the war.
How?
Trump calls on U.S. media to stop reporting on damage and losses caused by Iran, saying it harms the United States.
So now they're threatening people's media licenses if you report the truth about the war.
This is the exact opposite of what they said before.
This is the exact opposite.
That now they are being the authoritarians' dream.
That's what the Trump administration is.
They're doing the exact opposite.
The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of public interest.
You need to talk to Shlomo Kramer.
This is kind of, as my old hairstylist used to say, this is an amazing Jimmy Dorn.
This is an amazing.
So there you go.
And if you'd like to hear my, so there you go.
It's gotten so bad that Trump is.
Again, there isn't a almost there isn't a topic that Trump hasn't become the thing he claimed to oppose.
That's not an accident.
That's like a deliberate thing.
Okay.
I don't know.
This is not normal.
This is real.
Like, I mean, it is normal how bad this is, but I hope people are seeing how perverse the thing is.
This is, I mean, all politicians lie.
All politicians lie to get elected.
But this Donald Trump doesn't do anything half.
This is the way he's gone all the way.
And I'm going to say he has committed the greatest electoral fraud that I've ever seen in my life, saying one thing and doing the exact opposite.
Now, they all do.
And Barack Obama went to Flint, Michigan.
He pretended to take a sip of water.
He pretended to be a peace candidate.
And then he ramped up all the wars, did Libya, did Syria.
But Trump looks like it was hypnosis.
It's that severe.
It's so severe.
I'm questioning, does he have like two personalities and one Trump?
Because it's that opposite.
It's the most opposite thing I've ever seen.
Anyway, it's just amazing to me.
So people don't know this.
Kurt, maybe you know this, that when so we overthrew the Iranian government, meaning the CIA, in 1953, we overthrew Mossadegh, which was a democratically elected president of Iran.
And the reason why we did that is because he wanted, he didn't want to let the United States and Britain steal their oil.
And he wanted to keep the oil profits for the people of Iran.
So immediately they overthrew him and they installed the Shah.
And they installed the Shah of Iran, which was a murderous dictator that we propped up for 20 some years, like 25 years.
We brought in the Ayatollah as well.
I don't know if you know.
So then they get rid of the Shah and they took, and when they did that, they took some, they stormed the American embassy and they took some hostages, but they didn't take all the, they, they released a lot of black people and all the women.
Why would they release the black people?
Well, guess what?
Because they're barbaric.
This is the part you're not going to hear.
Listen to this.
Okay, one of the most insane historical facts has got to be when Iran took a bunch of American hostages in 1979, but then decided to free all the black hostages and the women.
Why did Iran do this, you ask?
Well, first, we got to go back a little bit to why Iran took hostages in the first place.
And when you understand this, you also understand why Iran and the USA don't really like each other to this day.
You see, Iran had a problem.
You see, back before the 1950s, Iran's oil industry was basically completely taken over by the United States and Britain.
Iran was barely getting a share of their oil.
Iran said, knock, knock, knock, hello.
United States, Britain, can we have our oil back?
United States and Britain said, who said we got your oil?
Iran said, boy, we're not stupid out here.
We see y'all scamming us.
The United States and Britain said, ah, you got us.
We'd offer a lie, but we're not giving your oil back, though, for real.
So Iran voted in a new prime minister that took back Iran's oil.
United States said, oh, we can't have that.
Call in the CIA.
The CIA pulls up.
That boy gone.
The United States brings in a new guy, the Shah, and he's very friendly towards the United States.
Iran said, who the, yo!
The Shah said, look, y'all didn't even give me a chance for real.
Yeah, fast forward 20 years later, he gave away all of Iran's oil and had very oppressive policies towards the people.
The people of Iran said, time's up.
The Shah said, time's up, boy.
You know what?
I got behind me.
Root, root, root.
Big dog in the United States.
The Iranian people say, all right, let's see if they get to you in time.
The Iranian people rose up and started hunting them down.
The Shah said, Oh, them folk tripping.
He calls the United States.
He said, Yo, yo, yo, them folk trying to get me.
The United States said, Chill, we're going to get an airplane.
We're going to come pick you up.
We can't let our assets, I mean, our friends, you know, suffer.
The Shah gets on a plane and he dips.
He said, I'll see y'all folk in the States.
The people of Iran looked at the United States.
They said, Bring back the Shah.
The United States said, No, the Shah is sick.
We can't give him to you right now.
Iran said, We got hospitals here and jails.
Bring him over.
The United States said, No.
And we're still going to take your oil because we're going to bring in a new guy to still take your oil.
This was the last straw for Iran.
Iranian college students stormed the United States embassy and take everybody hostage.
They said, Bring back the Shah.
The United States said, Release the hostages.
What are your demands?
Iran said, Well, they're pretty reasonable.
One, we want the Shah back.
Two, we want you to leave us and our oil alone.
The United States said, No.
If there's something you got to know about the United States of America, it's very hard to negotiate with the United States once it all at all times.
They said, Hostage, y'all gonna have to hold it down.
The hostage said, The United States said, counteroffer, we keep the Shah, we keep the oil, and you give us the hostages.
Iran's new supreme leader, Khomeini, said, Look at my face.
Do I look like I'm going to play with y'all?
Give us back the hold on.
Are those black people?
Now, here's where things start to get wicked.
Khomeini looked at the black hostages and said, Don't the United States be like oppressing y'all and messing with y'all too?
Black people said, Well, Khomeini said, Oh, no, y'all are free to go.
Plus, the women, y'all are free to go.
The white hostages said, Jamal, ain't you gonna put in a good word for me?
He said, My name's Eric.
He said, Andre, we're not here to argue about semantics.
This is a serious situation.
Go talk to them folk.
Put in a good word for me.
Black people said, All right, give us your number.
I'm gonna call you on my iPhone.
We're gonna put in a good word.
White people said, iPhones haven't been invented yet.
Black people said, Exactly, call me when they get invented.
Oh, them folk dipped, except a black man named Carl.
Now, I don't know if this is him, but this picture goes with what I'm saying.
You see, Carl was a Marine, but he was also a radio operator in the Marines.
So he was privy to very sensitive information.
Carl said, Okay, we're packing our bags.
We're going.
They said, Carl, you can't come.
Carl said, Y'all see my skin color, right?
They say, Yeah, Carl, but you're privy to info.
You're going to have to hold it down.
Carl said, Ain't this about it?
But Carl was released two years later with the rest of the hostages because President Jimmy Carter, after a lot of back and forth, there's a lot more to the story than this, finally made a deal with Iran, basically saying, Okay, we're going to leave you alone.
Just release the hostages.
Iran didn't get the Shah because the Shah actually passed away.
And side note, since Jimmy Carter took so long to get the hostages released, Reagan used that against him to get elected over Jimmy Carter.
And Reagan then ruined the world.
But that's a story for another day.
Side note, side note, to Jimmy Carter's credit, even though he lost the election, he still worked on getting the hostages until his last day in office.
In fact, he got the hostages released on his last day in office.
And well, even after the hostages were released, Iran and the United States' relationship has never been the same since.
And in fact, before the hostage crisis and after the hostage crisis, there were many more little incidents that happened between the U.S. and Iran.
What's happening today is just another piece in a story that's been ongoing for about 100 years.
They just haven't taught you it in your history books.
A story that I hope ends peacefully and sooner rather than later.
Yeah, they don't teach you this stuff in the history books.
That's for sure.
Never heard that.
Never heard that story about letting the black people go.
They didn't put it in Argo, Jimmy.
It wasn't in the movie Argo, which is all a lie.
Right.
These Canadians getting their people out.
That had nothing to do with RCIA, but they made a lie movie with Pen Affleck, probably to get us going against Iran at the time.
Remember?
Oh, yes.
That's your.
Every time they make these movies with this help of a consultant from the CIA of the Pentagon, we're getting North Korea-level bullshit told to us.
That's exactly right.
Well, look at this.
Iranian leaders are educated people.
They only hate the Epstein class.
The Khomeini was very sympathetic towards black people.
Here is a video of him giving tribute to Malcolm X. You want to say what?
Let's not forget how good they are to the Jews in Iran because they don't blame Jews.
They blame Israel and Zionists.
That's right.
They're better than Nick Fuentes, these people.
So here he is honoring Malcolm X. i begin my speech i would like to remind the audience that today is martin a man a reversary of african-american muslim leader malcolm x you can turn up a little
Clash of Civilizations00:15:36
in los angeles california last year i would like to request all attendees to please recite surah fatiha for the soul of this martyr Wow.
Wow.
Heavy duty.
So Iran knows a lot more about the United States than the United States does about Iran.
That's for sure.
I hope I can do the Tehran Comedy Festival, Jimmy, and apologize for America to them.
Yeah, me too.
I got invited to go to Tehran in March.
Well, it's March now.
So they're having a big arts festival and they wanted me to come and participate.
And I said I couldn't, but I'd be there in spirit.
And now I don't think they're having that festival.
I bet they're not.
I mean, also, it'd be a good way to get Pegasist again.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm sure that.
But Kurt, they can peg assist me anytime they want now.
All they need is your phone number.
How do you know you're not Pegasist?
Well, if I am, I'll know I've truly made it.
Yes, I only got lucky because I was on a plane and I on my computer, it came up: hey, this MacBook The has control of your iCloud.
Like, that wasn't supposed to happen, but it did, and I saw it, and that's when I knew I was screwed.
I hope I get a nice invite to Bohemian Grove, too.
I would like the entire package, please.
I told you you should go to that if they said they give your friend Kurt a taste-just a taste-that's what Ryan Long said to say.
You know, I know people, I have friends who go to the Bohemian Grove because they're musicians and they like to have musicians around to entertain them, and they get a kick out of it every time we talk about the Bohemian Grove.
Do they let chicks in yet?
Or is it still kind of a gay thing?
It's it's as listen to what Nixon said.
It's one of the most goddamn things I've ever seen in my life.
Um, yeah, well, look, the bottom line is a place where it don't look.
It could be the one Peter Thiel has at those Collins's that were talking to that feminist who's stupid.
The chick ran the Bilderberg of Peter Thiel of tech people.
It's just a bunch of important, powerful people getting together that don't want anyone else to hear what they're talking about, which is how we get evil shit like the Fed.
And that's why it's always important to call it out.
It's never a good thing.
They're never where's all this good that's supposed to come from it.
Have you seen it?
I haven't.
I would ask your friends that.
I think it's interesting.
That's what I'm saying.
It's interesting.
You're like the first to bring up AIPAC, which is interesting.
It's interesting.
I mean, it's interesting.
You know, when you say Freemasonry is still better than that, which is just interesting.
It's interesting you say that, which is just interesting.
What's interesting about it?
It's just interesting as you bring up APAC.
It's just interesting.
Anyway.
No, just me.
It's interesting.
You brought that up.
Sound was interesting.
All right.
And so, what do we do now, Alex, that we know that Donald Trump is the enemy and that he was a charlatan and lied, committed what I'll call it again the biggest fraud in electoral history that I've witnessed personally.
What do we do now?
That's the 60.
I mean, when you say enemy, we know the Democrats are just as bad or worse.
Oh, yeah.
I agree with you, huh?
And so, I don't know.
Actually, I don't know what we do, and that's why I'm so upset.
So, let me ask you, what do we do?
That's a tough question.
I don't know how we could.
It doesn't like, you know, everybody says no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.
And they just like, you know, when Dick Cheney was famously asked, hey, the American people are against this war.
And he said so.
And I feel like we're in that same situation that Donald Trump does.
He's not running for reelection.
He doesn't care.
And the thing that I would want is for people like Tulsi Gabbard to resign and to use her voice to try to stop this.
And people like RFK to resign and then file a lawsuit, making sure that people who are poisoned by glyphosate and get cancer can actually sue in court instead of what Donald Trump's trying.
So that's my call.
That's one thing we could do.
I don't know what JD Vance thinks his political future is.
He's going to be tied to this war just like Dick Cheney was to the Iraq war.
So, I mean, you know, it wouldn't be a bad idea for him to resign and try to stop this, but he's not going to.
So what we could do as people is all we can do is get in the street.
But I remember we had millions of people in the street trying to stop the Iraq war, and that didn't make a difference.
It's because we don't live in a democracy anymore.
You know, we live in an oligarchy, which was proven by a Princeton study over 10 years now, that your vote really doesn't matter.
And I don't think voting actually matters on certainly not on a federal level.
So I don't know what we can do to stop this, but it's going to kill our economy.
So you think the unions might get together and say, hey, maybe we have to do an action like the Truckers did.
We have to shut down stuff, shut down D.C. or shut down Manhattan or the power centers, the economic centers in the United States to try to stop this war right now, because that's what we, that's the only thing that's going to save the, it's, it's already probably too late.
It's probably, this is just going to keep escalating.
This is World War III.
We're in it.
It's worse, I think, than people realize.
And it's going to get much, oil has already doubled.
Here's the crazy thing.
Think about this, Alex.
So when Iran cut off, closed the straight of Hormuz, which they knew was going to happen.
Now, Donald Trump is offering because now they can't get insurance for tankers to go through the straight-up hormoo.
Donald Trump is now offered to chaperone oil tankers with the U.S. military, putting them at risk, right?
But also, guess where that oil's going?
50% of that oil is going to China.
So now Donald Trump is using the U.S. military to insure oil shipments to China.
This is the craziest thing that's ever happened.
So I like what Candace is doing.
By the way, that's why I like your show is you always have the facts.
We're Sympotico.
I love Candace.
I felt bad that I went on that whole jag.
Her servants tagged me.
I got pissed because I was from a place of love.
And then I went on, you know, went off the rails.
But that's why I want to just move away from it.
But let's go back to what you just said.
I have known, I have witnessed that you can actually get Trump's attention through the media and culture.
So the fact that he's not totally controlled by gloves, most of it makes horrible decisions a lot of the time, means that we have a responsibility to put pressure on him.
So absolutely.
Peaceful demonstrations by populists, just by left, right, you name it, that gets attention.
Us talking about it, us pointing out Trump not lied to.
He's starting to back off saying, okay, I'll try to end the war right now.
That's what I'm saying is, is I totally agree with you, is that we need to bipartisanly shut this down right now.
And so that's what I'm all about is whatever the big current thing is that stabilizes civilization.
That's why I want to get you on so you would actually say all these smart things that I think are great instead of just, I'm not mad about it, but just debating about stuff that just is going nowhere.
The Kirk thing, whatever happens to cover up, great, find the smoking gun, everything will burn whoever at the stake.
I'm just simply trying to stop World War III.
But I think the most important thing right now is to find a way to come together and stop World War III.
Tucker's doing what he can do.
You're doing what you can do.
I'm doing what I can do.
Candace is telling people not to enroll into the military.
And if you're in the military, try to find a legal way to get out of it.
I agree with that.
I endorse that.
I meet at my shows.
I meet ex-military people all the time.
And now their job is to go and de-recruit people.
You know how they send the recruiters into high schools and colleges?
They go into high schools and colleges and tell people don't join the military.
So ex-military people come to my shows who do that all the time.
So I'm with candidates on that.
I think that's if the if the military, and I understand, I already read reports that the military is upset with this, that they don't want to be doing this war.
Oh, yeah, no, the chairman of George Stabb told Trump don't do it.
Well, that's the thing.
A few months ago, they were saying Trump can't have National Guard protect federal bases.
No, that's constitutional.
So I was defending it.
They were saying, don't follow your legal orders.
Now I'm saying don't follow legal orders, commercially drop nukes.
We now are in that place.
It's totally insane.
Here's Lindsey Graham just yesterday just salivating, bombing, and destroying play the club.
States, you just wait to see what comes in the next two weeks.
The next two weeks, meaning what?
We're going to blow the hell out of these people.
This regime is in a death row now.
It is going to be on its knees.
It's going to fall.
And when it falls, we're going to have peace like no other time.
We're going to have prosperity unlike anyone could ever imagine.
Peace brings prosperity.
You can't do it by talking.
The Democrats criticize this operation.
They didn't do a damn thing.
These men and women in the military should make us all proud.
And then he says, oh, support the military, support me.
What?
He is so demonic, Jimmy Dore.
You know, when I hear him talking about blowing the hell out of people, I'm thinking maybe he's not talking about bombs.
Anyway, because it is Lindsey Graham.
And they're on their knees, too.
He's blowing them.
And they're on their knees.
I'm like, does this guy?
Do you not hear yourself, Lindsey Grab?
No, he is evil.
He's always been evil.
The only time he's smiling is when we're killing innocent people and creating chaos and havoc.
The world's terrorists are the United States.
We've set the entire Middle East on fire now twice in 25 years.
Jim, where do you see America going?
Because there is a global awakening, populism, evil's being exposed.
And for both political parties or any system, I don't see the genie being put back in the bottle.
And I know that about eight, nine months ago, when they kicked Elon Musk out of the White House because he was really going after corruption, that was the beginning of the end of Trump.
And I think Trump's just trying to prepare himself to leave by making a deal with the establishment.
He's putting as many his people in as he can, kind of as a rearguard action for that.
And he survived assassination.
He went through all that stuff.
And I think this is Trump trying to survive.
I'm not defending what he's doing, but I think that's basically where we are.
But we move past Trump.
I would love to reform the Democrat Party.
I would love to see a new party.
I would love to.
I mean, you have the SAVE Act they won't pass.
It's incredibly popular in Congress just to make you have ID to vote.
So I don't see the corrupt giving up.
I don't see the good guys giving up.
I see a real clash in civilization coming.
What does Jimmy Doer see in closing?
Well, there's going to be chaos because of this war, right?
And chaos inside the United States.
Think, you know, when the Wall Street crashes and our economy crashes, that's what causes chaos.
That's what will get people in the street.
And what I hope happens is that, you know, they say, oh, the left-right, we have a lot in common.
We have to come together and oppose the oligarchs.
Well, the left and the right did come together, but they came together at the top of the parties.
They all agree on the worst stuff.
They all agree on horrible wars and they all agree on keeping us from health care and they all agree on crushing workers.
And so I hopefully that this crisis that is being caused by Donald Trump's actions with Iran will cause the people at the bottom to come together and realize that it's always been a lie, the left-right divide, that we have more in common that divides us and we share a common enemy.
And the common enemy is the WEF globalists that Donald Trump is serving right now with this war.
So that's what I hope happens.
That's the only thing I think can save us if we all come together.
But if we keep fighting with each other over anything, that's a win for the oligarchy.
That's a win for the establishment.
So I say your neighbor is not your enemy.
Your neighbor is hurting under the same oligarchy that you are hurting under.
And so we need to come together and oppose them.
And so hopefully, because it's, I don't see, again, I'm not an economist, but it seems obvious to me that this is going to crash our Wall Street.
It's going to crash our stock market.
It's going to crash our economy.
The oil prices are already doubled right now.
Things are just going to keep getting worse.
And if the petrol dollar goes away, which it looks like that's what's going to happen, I hope Trump can do anything to stop it.
But again, if he doesn't, we all need to come together because things are going to get a lot worse in the United States once our dollar is no longer the reserve currency of the world.
Well, I'm proud of populist conservatives, call us what you will, that we're not slavishly following Trump when he starts breaking his promises and doing wrong, like Democrats to a great extent have been.
But that's been the sickest part is watching him go after Musk, MTG, Thomas Massey, now myself, you know, Tucker Carlson, that we're Qataris, we're foreign agents, because I can play the compilations like you can.
In fact, after you leave, I'm going to play the Trump compilation again of him saying everything I'm saying.
So we're for that Trump before.
We didn't think he was perfect, but he was better.
And he wasn't in for Trump.
He has changed.
And I mean, I'm sure you've seen the clip.
He came out yesterday and said, no, we're going to shut this down very quickly.
It's going to be over very quickly.
I mean, I think he's seeing the pressure.
Like you said, this needs to stop immediately.
And I love, you know, Rabbi Schmolly's like, Alex Jones just wants money.
That's why he wants to not have oil prices go up.
If oil prices go up, it derails the recovery.
All the economists agree we're on the edge of bankruptcy.
People of the third world starve to death energy prices go up.
This is about civilization.
This is about me getting money.
It's so dangerous, Jimmy.
And that's why, you know, foreign countries are already trying to quietly take their money out of U.S. treasuries.
And that's why gold is skyrocketing right now.
Gold has like doubled since I bought it two years ago.
And the reason is because people don't have any faith in the U.S. currency anymore.
And so they're taking it out of U.S. treasuries, which is why the treasuries are now paying a higher interest rate than before when you buy treasuries.
Anyway, so it's not going to be good.
Everybody needs to come together.
Realize that your neighbor's not your enemy.
And I think that's what some of this, you know, I really do think some of the over-the-top violence by ICE and they're completely disregarding the Constitution, no matter who it is, white, black, Hispanic, gun owners, non-gun owners, they're wrecking everybody.
And I think that is to keep people fighting each other so we don't come together.
And we have to keep that in mind.
They're going to keep doing things that keep us fighting each other and they keep us fighting our neighbor.
And that is always a distraction.
Chaos always favors the establishment.
And when you're hating your neighbor, you're not putting your energy where it should be, which is at the people who are really pulling the strings and controlling both of us.
Absolutely.
But Trump just saying he's going to shut the war down soon, made oil prices start to drop, same gold and silver.
Of course, he'll go back up because of basic industrial need.
I mean, do you put any faith in him now figuring out that he was advised wrong and stopping this war?
No, again, I have hope.
I don't have faith in Donald Trump.
I have hope because I got to have hope.
Otherwise, I'll go nuts.
And I'll, you know, I've been waking up since the war started with anxiety in the morning.
No Faith in Trump00:03:56
Way worse than normal, put it that way.
And so, no, I don't have faith in Donald Trump.
I have hope.
By the way, I'm Lauren.
My anxiety is never about like cerebral technical stuff.
It's gut level and it's always accurate because I don't like, you know, see a bunch of news.
I can feel it.
You feel it too, right?
Yes, 100%.
Yes.
And this is different.
This is different than Iraq.
This is different than Syria.
This is different than Libya.
This is different than Afghanistan.
This is, and with the stuff that's already happened, has changed the world.
All right.
Thank you for the time.
Just a final question.
I keep saying final question.
As bad as the Republican Party leadership is targeting True MAGA and driving him off, what are the Democrats going to do?
That zombie Gavin Newsom, Kamala's thought about running again.
You've got just Kim Jeffries, looks like an evil jack-o'-lantern.
I mean, what are they going to do?
I mean, they're like, look at the Republicans.
Look at the Democrats.
I mean, they're just like a zombie operation.
I mean, the problem with the Democratic Party is they're supposed to be a left party, but they're not a left party, right?
So they're pro-authoritarian.
They're pro-war.
They're anti-worker.
They shut down that railroad strike during Biden's presidency.
They crushed it, which would have changed labor nationwide, and they stopped them from getting power.
And so they crushed that union.
So the Democrats, there's really no point to a left party that's in bed with Wall Street.
The Democrats serve Wall Street.
They serve big pharma.
They serve military-industrial complex, big insurance.
So you can't serve Wall Street and serve workers at the same time.
Those are diametrically opposed to each other.
And so the Democrats just give lip service to the workers.
And we have two right-wing parties in America.
There is no left-wing party in America.
I've stayed true to my left-wing values, and I've been called a right-winger.
Now it's right-wing to be for free speech.
Now it's right-wing to be against censorship.
Now it's right-wing to have bodily autonomy and reject experimental medical treatments being mandated by the government.
Now it's right-wing to be against the Ukraine war.
It's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
So there is no left party.
The Democrats right now are not, so they're controlled by the same billionaire class.
So the billionaires try to pretend that they're warring against each other, but we all know they all work together.
They all have the same, as George Carlin said, they have the same agenda and they do have the same agenda.
So we need to, so the Democratic Party is not an answer to that.
I gave Nick Fuentes a hard time when he said we got to vote Democrat and stop this.
And it's like, yeah, we're going to follow, we're going to vote for the other deep state party controlled by Israel and the PDF files.
And so it's just, I don't think that's an answer.
And I'm not voting for either of those parties.
I haven't for a long time.
But voting doesn't make a difference.
It doesn't.
I don't think, look, everybody thought they were voting for Donald Trump who's going to be a peace candidate.
Everybody thought they were voting for Donald Trump who's going to be bodily autonomy and rein in the poisons.
We're putting in our food and he's going to make free speech again and get rid of DEI.
And none of those things are true.
The exact opposite happened.
And so I don't, again, I would ask you what's the future of MAGA?
Because almost every MAGA influencer I know has soured on Trump, but they're still, according to CNN, they said that Republicans are supporting Trump.
But I think that poll is bogus because a lot of people aren't identifying as Republican right now.
Let's be clear: there's a giant populist movement against the establishment.
Democrats are still seen as more established than Trump, but Trump is losing that near very quickly.
And I just think we become issues-oriented, populist-oriented, and we just move forward.
The fourth turning's here.
The established can try to bucket, but they're going to fail.
They're swimming against the tide.
