Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), told The Hill on Monday that he intends to accept the pardon preemptively offered to him by President Biden. Fauci said in an email that the White...

Kurt Metzger
Media sucks all gas lighting, so good luck.
Jimmy Dore
Bullshit we can't afford why he's fomenting this watch and see as his jack.
Kurt Metzger
Golf the medium speeds and jumps the.
Jimmy Dore
Medium and hits some head. So there it is. Joseph R. Biden, pardoned, gave a preemptive pardon to Anthony S. Fauci.
Audience Member
Oh, that's great.
Jimmy Dore
Guess what else? Biden just preemptively pardoned science himself.
Audience Member
I was afraid science would go to prison for life. Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
I was afraid science would go to prison for life. So, by the way, this is suitable for framing, isn't it? Nothing says trust the science quite like a blanket preemptive pardon.
Audience Member
I mean, there's nothing I trust more than that it's a shroud of turin to me. A blanket preemptive pardon.
Jimmy Dore
And Kurt, we have to face the facts that we know. You and I both know people. Who's going to defend this guy Fauci no matter what is revealed? Because we have some effed up friends and I'm not going to say they're evil, but after knowing everything that we know, the fact that they don't come around is very suspicious pharmaceutical shareholder behavior.
Audience Member
Is it?
Jimmy Dore
This should have a quote. The quote should be, I don't always try to poison the population. Oh, who am I kidding? Of course I do.
Audience Member
It doesn't look like the commercial. Yeah, that could be a good meme.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. By the way, the Justice Department, you know the January six people who they're politically prosecuting, the people who 99.9% of them were peaceful protesting. The Justice Department sent a Message. This is from December 11th. The justice.
Audience Member
Jimmy, the other 1% were cops, for the record.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's right. The people on January 6th who were violent, most of them were cops. The Justice Department said him. I mean, undercover. And the only person. And the only person who shot the gun was a cop inside and killed a Navy veteran unarmed, by the way. All the people were unarmed. The Justice Department sent a message Wednesday to January. Six defendants accepting a pardon from Donald Trump is, quote, a confession of guilt for your crimes. Well, so I know they were saying.
Audience Member
Those kind of things.
Jimmy Dore
So if he accepts that. Is that. Is that the same thing? Is he saying he's guilty?
Audience Member
I think Joy Behar was pretty clear that, no, it is not the same.
Jimmy Dore
This is what the. This is what the Justice Department under Joe Biden said. A pardon at some unspecified date in the future would not unring the bell of conviction, federal prosecutors argued in January 6 case before US District Judge Carl Nichols. In fact, quite the opposite. The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt. So if you accept a pardon. Whoa. According to the law and according to the Justice Department, you. It necessitates you. You saying, yes, I'm guilty. What? Did you know that.
Audience Member
That's true.
Jimmy Dore
The defendant would first have to accept the pardon, which necessitates a confession of guilt.
Audience Member
I have never heard that in my life until just now. That's wild.
Jimmy Dore
Whereas accepting a presidential pardon from Joe Biden is like winning in Las Vegas, but without the tax withholdings.
Audience Member
Okay, question. If it's preemptive, is there some loophole where you don't have to say you did something?
Jimmy Dore
There must be. But here's a little bit more. So this is from the Supreme Court decision case. Whatever acceptance of pardon the court held. The court held that a pardon, while an act of grace, is not effective unless accepted by the person pardoned. Acceptance of the pardon implies an acknowledgment of guilt. That's what the Supreme Court said. Kurt.
Audience Member
Can I acknowledge my guilt in the future since it's a preemptive pardon?
Jimmy Dore
So now these people. So he's. So now is Fauci going to acknowledge that he's. So if he accepts the pardon, that means he's saying, yes, I'm guilty of a crime.
Audience Member
What?
Crime science.
Jimmy Dore
Now they also. He also pardoned his family, Joe Biden, and he also pardoned the January 6th show trial committee.
Audience Member
What crime was that? Such poor taste.
Jimmy Dore
So now. So now a lot of those people are still sitting in Congress. So if they accept a pardon while sitting in Congress, according to the Supreme Court, they're admitting that they're guilty of a crime.
Audience Member
So Adam Schiff didn't want to do that. That's why he didn't accept his pardon. And Liz Cheney didn't want to.
Jimmy Dore
Liz, did they not accept him, understand the law, did they not?
Audience Member
They didn't want to do that. What?
Jimmy Dore
Did they not accept them?
Audience Member
Oh, yeah. Schiff said, no thanks, I don't need a pardon. Lis Cheney, the same.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, okay. We're going to talk about that in another segment. So there it is. So the acceptance of a pardon implies an acknowledgment of guilt.
Audience Member
Of course it does. So they probably had to acknowledge guilt. And you're supposed to go, yeah, but it's like taking a plea.
Jimmy Dore
And by the way, the effect of a pardon, it does not erase the fact of a crime or prevent the individual from being legally compelled to testify about it.
Audience Member
So you better, you better snitch Fauci.
Come on, Rand Paul.
Jimmy Dore
So they can still make Fauci testify.
Audience Member
Oh, he might now. Because he's got a pardon.
Jimmy Dore
Because he's got a pardon.
Audience Member
So this could be good. Wait, this is crazy. Oh, please force him a pardon.
Jimmy Dore
The court affirmed that the Fifth Amendment. So the Fifth Amendment, which means you don't have to self incriminate if they ask you a question. It's not by. So if you get a pardon and you don't accept it, you cannot be compelled to. You don't give up your Fifth Amendment right. You can't be compelled to testify against yourself unless you accept it. If you accept it, you've already accepted and acknowledged that you're guilty. So the decision to underscore that a pardon is not an automatic absolution but involves the consent of the recipient. It also highlighted that a pardon does not compel someone to forfeit their constitutional rights without their consent.
Audience Member
Oh, Trump, please put them on a trial where they have to testify, for God's sakes. I didn't know this was a thing. This could like bring down a lot of, a lot of awful stuff if they did this.
So Trump said. This is from politico.com Donald Trump Jr. The President elect eldest son responded to Fauci's news on X. He says he doesn't have to accept the pardon if he did nothing wrong. Be a man and turn it down. But you know he won't because everyone knows he's guilty of so much.
Jimmy Dore
Of course.
Audience Member
Well, now be a man and testify.
Jimmy Dore
So Rand Paul Says if there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden's pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal. As chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, I will not rest until the entire truth of the COVID up is exposed. Fauci's pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception. Ignanimous Anthony Fauci.
Audience Member
Ignominious.
Jimmy Dore
I'm sorry, ignominious. What does that mean? Does anybody know?
Audience Member
I don't fucking know.
Jimmy Dore
What does ignominious mean? Deserving or causing public disgrace or shame? There you go. Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the first government scientist to be preemptively pardoned for a crime.
Audience Member
Hey, what do you want to bet if he put. If he puts, he goes after Fauci to make him testify. Here's my prediction. Fauci goes. This is national security. And he has to like say something to something that skiff. Like it's a ufo. I bet you the national security. Because that's DARPA that he's involved in.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Audience Member
So that's his other out. Is national security that gets you out of anything.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Audience Member
Torture.
Jimmy Dore
It does. It does get you out of anything. But if it makes anybody feel any better, Bush and Cheney tortured some folks, as Barack Obama said, and I don't remember them needing a pardon.
Audience Member
No, it didn't even come up. Really?
Jimmy Dore
Nope. And I don't want to play stereotypes here, but Fauci needs a Luigi, if you know what I'm talking about. Here's what I said. I said Fauci funded the gain of function research that created the COVID 19 virus that killed millions of people. According to them, he then lied about it to Congress twice. He's the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind. There's no two ways about that. That's not hyperbole. If he funded the gain of function research, that's why his pardon goes back to 2014. Did you know that?
Audience Member
Yeah, well, I happened to look up the old article when he brought on. Her name's Liu, the scientist who's foremost in gene therapy. Remember the term gene therapy that they said the vaccine. So that's how far back they plotted to say a gene therapy is a vaccine. Really, it's a team effort. He can't take all the credit. Come on.
Jimmy Dore
So let me. He's the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind. He is. He also lied about early treatments for Covid that killed countless more people. He Also experimented on orphaned black children using toxic drugs during the AIDS crisis. There's a BBC documentary about it.
Audience Member
Yeah, they're buried in a shallow grave in Yonker. Didn't even test them for AIDS for us. Just put the.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. He also tortured dogs on the regular, as the White Coat Waste Project reported. He approved research that starved beagles and then had their vocal cords removed so they couldn't howl or bark. And the beagles had their heads trapped in cages with hungry sand fleas that ate them alive.
Audience Member
Okay, well, in my defense, it's the only way I can achieve an erection.
Jimmy Dore
The biggest mass murderer in history, and all he got was a bobblehead doll.
Audience Member
Well, don't forget, we brought Mengele to America and he didn't pay for his crime. So, I mean, what do you think Fauci is going to pay?
Jimmy Dore
Fauci is the worst, the world's worst human being ever. And the corporate media sold him to you as a savior and America bought it because Trump.
Audience Member
You know, is he the worst? I think that's up to Keith Olbermann to decide.
Jimmy Dore
I think it's up to Keith Olbermann. And now lifelong career criminal Joe Biden has given him a pardon, shielding him from investigation and prosecution because he was paid to by big pharma and the war machine, as Fauci was the head of the Pentagon's bioweapons development.
Audience Member
I bet they didn't pay him. They just worked him like a puppet. Biden is gone. So, like, he didn't do that.
Jimmy Dore
Fauci said, by the way, Fauci is accepting this pardon because he knows he's guilty.
Audience Member
Yeah, I have a video of him lying over and over and over and over again.
Jimmy Dore
America is run by absolute criminals and is more corrupt than most people's brains can comprehend.
Audience Member
They cannot comprehend it and they will think you're an apologist for our adversaries when you mention how much worse we're doing than them. Russia and China. America does worse. Just so everybody knows. I've been there and seen it, and this is years ago.
Jimmy Dore
So I wonder if sex freaks are going to drop the leather Hitler outfit now and switch to the freaky Fauci get up with the leather Pinocchio, which. A leather stethoscope or something?
Audience Member
Yeah, it's Pinocchio stuff. Here is Blue Fairy from Pinocchio. That's the Democratic Party.
Jimmy Dore
Here is from right near my house. Ted. Lieu. Congressman Ted Loose. Remember what this was back in 2020 when they thought that Trump was going to do blanket pardons, he said. What 20 crimes did the allies of Donald Trump commit that would necessitate the preemptive pardons? There's no doubt the Trump administration is the most corrupt in history. And that's saying a lot when you include Nixon.
Audience Member
Not really.
Jimmy Dore
No. Not really Nixon.
Audience Member
How about George H.W. bush and his piece of shit son? How about them? Moron.
Jimmy Dore
So bioweapons anyway. Can you even pardon someone for that? I guess if Israel can do genocide, I guess bioweapons are fine.
Audience Member
Yeah, things are a little loose right now with that.
Jimmy Dore
So that's what Ted Lieu used to say when Trump was president.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
What are the crimes that would even necessitate that? Here's what Glenn Greenwald says. Everything Democrats and corporate media falsely claim Trump would do with the pardon. Power to destroy democracy and the rule of law. Pardon. All his family members and all his political allies were things that Trump didn't do. They were, however, all the things that Biden did. It's, it's remarkable. And there are people that I know personally who are out on social media like mindless, brainwashed, brain dead zombies defending Fauci and defending Biden right now, of.
Audience Member
Course, because they're complicit. They're complicit in the crime. So that's where the Hitler wasn't that bad. People are coming out.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Yep. So the fact that Fauci's pardon specifically explicitly addresses his Covid related offenses while being backdated to 2014, the year the gain of function ban. So Barack Obama banned gain of function because the viruses were somehow escaping the labs. Do you remember that? So he put a ban on it. And then Fauci decided, I'm going to do it anyway, and he gave them. Because he doesn't work for the President. Just like the FBI and the CIA.
Audience Member
The President's not the chief.
Jimmy Dore
No, he's not.
Audience Member
He thinks that he's not.
Jimmy Dore
So Fauci went through a CIA cutout through the CIA. He funded the called Echo Health Alliance. He funded the gain of function research. They didn't stop it in China. Speaks volumes as to what this is really about. That's what this is really about.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So it's about him lying to Congress. It's about him actually creating the virus that killed millions and millions of people.
Audience Member
So you know how I was wondering how the hell we're making these viruses in China our adversary? Well, remember you always heard about China has a population bomb coming of old people they can't take care of. So it was in Their interest as well. That's why we were invited to make bioweapons in China. Because a bunch of these scumbag leaders want to clear out the old growth.
Jimmy Dore
Kurt, now that is a conspiracy theory that I cannot confirm.
Audience Member
I didn't want to bring up the Danny Haiphong, but just so you know, don't have hope in none of these people.
Jimmy Dore
So it's always nice to see. See that? Nice that. That. It's a nice raised seal right next to the signature of a train seal. So clandestine. Says, holy S. Fauci's pardon also begins on January 1, 2014, just like Hunter's. Why? Because this is when the Obama CIA State Department took over Ukraine and began gain of function research on bat coronaviruses in uk Which Fauci spearheaded. It's about a bioweapon production. Well, that's.
Audience Member
Oh, in Ukraine. I didn't. I forgot the peaceful. Wait, you're telling me that's what the peaceful biolabs were doing in Ukraine?
Jimmy Dore
I don't know. I can't. I can't vouch for that. I mean, that's what he says. I'm just showing you what Victoria Newland.
Audience Member
Said those were peaceful.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, Victoria Nuland said that they. They weren't doing. So I can't. I can't vouch for what. Clint. I'm just showing you what some people are saying on the Internet. I'm not saying that's real, but that's what somebody's saying.
Audience Member
Maybe if any bioweapons experts could tell us the difference between a peaceful, peaceful biolab.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, what's that?
Audience Member
And a bioweapons lab. Because I can't think of one. But maybe I'm not an expert. You know, I'm not lesbian, as I said.
Jimmy Dore
So if you really want to know, here's the closest we got to somebody on television saying the crimes that Fauci has committed. And it was a congressman, and he's also a doctor, and here's what he said.
Audience Member
As so many Americans am deeply disappointed in your actions during a critical time in our nation's history while you were in key leadership roles as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease and as the chief medical advisor to President Biden. Put quite simply, you failed miserably. In my opinion, based on all we have learned during the pandemic and all that we have since learned through this committee's work, I believe your failures stem from both an effort of self preservation manifested by a series of lies and cover up and by a Total failure of leadership. It was obvious to everyone that you and your organization, nih, had a lot to lose if the American people were to discover that COVID 19 was most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, and that you, via EcoHealth alliance and Peter Daszak actually funded this research and that this lab was actively and recklessly conducting gang of function research. As such, you did everything in your power to deflect and cover up this possibility. You even recruited others to help you in this effort. Unfortunately, this cost our country and the world valuable time. Time that may have led to answers regarding origin, may have blunted the spread, and would have almost certainly saved lives. While I think most of us have known all along what I just described, what I have been appalled to discover through sworn testimony to this committee is the level at which you and those that worked for you went to cover up the obvious. Just a few examples, and I know these have been touched on, but they're important for everyone to hear. Dr. Lawrence Taback, former acting director of NIH, testified that under the generic definition that NIH did in fact fund gain of function research. This was based on a definition that was initially used by NIH and a definition that was abandoned and removed from the website in October of 2021 and replaced by a new, much more detailed definition with a much higher bar that you have since conveniently used to define gain of function testing and to deny what Dr. Tabak has since confirmed.
Jimmy Dore
So Rand Paul questioned Dr. Fauci twice in Congress under oath, did you fund gain of function research? And he said, no, we didn't. And what that doctor who's in Congress is revealing is that Fauci changed the definition of what. Of what it is, what gain of function is, so what he did wouldn't be considered it. So it was again just another switcheroo, sleight of hand, something he would be convicted of in front of a jury.
Audience Member
He also said that EcoHealth alliance failed to properly and promptly report that their research violated the terms of the grant. Something that went completely unaddressed under your watch, Dr. Moranz, your senior advisor, who you have tried today to distance yourself from, but whose large volume of emails clearly demonstrate that you had a very close and personal relationship with and who reported to you directly has openly bragged about how he subverted FOIA request. I remind you that the law requires you and your former organization to comply with Freedom of Information act request. It is not optional. If you or your employees or your organization that you oversaw were systemically avoiding transparency and illegally hiding or destroying documents that rightfully belong to the American people, then you should be criminally charged and they should as well. In addition, Dr. Gregory Foulkers, your chief of staff, also engaged in illegal practices in which he crafted messages using symbols instead of letters to avoid FOIA exposure. In an email April 2020 from Dr. Moranz to Peter Daszak, he says, quote, there are things I can't say. Well, I wonder what he couldn't say. He also went on to say, quote, except Tony is aware and I have learned there are ongoing efforts within NIH to steer through this with minimal damage to you, Peter and colleagues and to NIH and Naid, end quote. And then a few days later he said, quote, I have reason to believe that there are already efforts going on to protect you, end quote. In February of 2021, Dr. Moranz wrote to Boston University scientist Gerald Kirsch saying, quote, I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I'm FOIA but before the search starts. So I think we are all safe, end quote.
Jimmy Dore
So that's him and his criminal cabal doing criminal stuff and then talking, bragging to each other about how they made them, the evidence of their crimes disappear.
Audience Member
Yeah. Hey Jimmy, remember in England, that uk, whatever, he was in Parliament and he said, when do we deploy the new variant?
Jimmy Dore
Remember that?
Audience Member
Yeah. I don't even know what to make of that. Well, I think I know what to make of that, Dr. Fauci.
I want to know what you're being protected from and what you needed to be safe from going to go on, because I have a little time here. He went on to say, quote, plus, I deleted most of the earlier emails after sending to Gmail. Once again, illegal and an actual crime. Dr. Moran noted in another.
Jimmy Dore
So they, so they're supposed to use government emails. They weren't. He was sending it through Gmail and then deleting them so there wouldn't be a record. So this is all illegal. Nobody talks about any of this now.
Audience Member
To Dr. Raymond, isn't it? I learned the tricks of the. I learned the tricks last year from an old friend, Marge Moore, who heads our FOIA office and also hates FOIA's, end quote. It is absolutely amazing to me that Dr. Moranz and Marge Moore still have jobs and taxpayers are still paying their salaries. Dr. Moranz wrote to Dr. Daszak in April of 2021, quote, P.S. i forgot to say there is no worry about FOIAs. I can either send stuff to Tony on his private email or hand it to him to work or at his house. He is too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble. Apparent end quote. Apparently, you neglected to surround yourself with equally smart individuals. Dr. Moranz wrote to another collaborator, Peter Hotitz, in June 2021 at Baylor College of Medicine, that he had deleted all his emails related to Covid origin when, quote, the shit hit the fan, end quote. He said, quote, I feel pretty sure Tony were too. The best way to avoid FOIA hassles is to delete all emails when you learn the subject is pretty sensitive. In October 2021, Dr. Moranz wrote to Peter Daszak, quote, peter, from Tony's numerous recent comments to me and from what Francis has been vocal about over the past five years, we are trying to protect you. And they are protecting their own reputations as well, end quote.
Jimmy Dore
What are they protecting?
Audience Member
Wait, Peter. Not Peter Hotez.
Jimmy Dore
What are they protecting?
Audience Member
Not the great Peter Hotez, the guy who warned me about jungle born parasites and Covid and the new chicken virus.
Jimmy Dore
And Francis Collins, the former head of the nih.
Audience Member
I'll just jump ahead. The American people can rest assured that we are going to continue to pursue answers, and we continue to push for full accountability from you and your colleagues despite continuing efforts to try to cover this up. Dr. Fauci, history will not be kind to you, and you will be known as the man who put his personal interests before the interest of the American people, the very people that you were supposed to be protecting. Your actions, along with several others we have had before this committee, have completely eroded America's trust in our public health system and the agency that you represented for half a century. With that, I yield back.
Jimmy Dore
Well said. Well, the good news is, according to Camus at Newstart, he says despite a presidential pardon, Dr. Anthony Fauci isn't out of the woods yet. State level prosecutions could still land him behind bars. A federal pardon doesn't cover state crimes, meaning if Fauci's actions broke state laws, he could face the music in state courts. Fingers crossed that's true.
Audience Member
Yeah. I sure hope he doesn't commit suicide.
Jimmy Dore
Peter Schiff says the people Biden pardoned can no longer use the Fifth Amendment to avoid telling the truth about what happened. Also, if they commit perjury, I don't think the Biden pardons would protect against that. So if you accept a pardon, according to Peter Schiff and according to what I read earlier, you cannot use the fifth Amendment. But if you reject the pardon, you can still invoke the fifth Amendment. But if you accept it you're admitting guilt and you can be compelled to testify. Even though you can't be prosecuted, you can be compelled to testify. And if you perjure yourself in that testimony. He's saying he. I think that that would not be protected by a pardon. Remember they said they made Trump sound like he was a mental case and that.
Audience Member
Yeah. Fish tank cleaner.
Jimmy Dore
Hydroxychloroquine was fish tank cleaner and ivermectin was horse paste.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Well just. I just. Just google it. It comes up. This is from 2005. Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus. What's that from? That's from the NIH website.
Audience Member
So not potential potent as in we know for a fact it's potent.
Jimmy Dore
That's what it sounds like.
Audience Member
Wow.
Jimmy Dore
This is from the virology journal. Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS coronavirus.
Audience Member
That's Science changes.
Jimmy Dore
That's also 2005. This is from the National Institute of Health. Chloroquine is a potent inhibitor of SARS. There it is. That's from 2005. August 22nd.
Audience Member
Wow. So this was forgotten knowledge. I guess along with what a woman is.
Jimmy Dore
Chloroquine is effect. Well it never. Because there's only six media companies. So nobody. There was wasn't a media company reporting this because they're all beholden to big pharma. Why does big pharma fund cable news programs to the tune of 70% of their budgets? Why? So they don't not be. They're not funding investigations. They're funding their non investigations. So they. That's right. So that's a. That's what the. Yeah, that's up to bribe.
Audience Member
And the moron mind controlled public isn't going to bother to look at this and show it to them and they probably still won't.
Jimmy Dore
Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of SARS CoV2. There it is in cell culture. There it is. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed. That's just from the headline. Here's another one from Science direct. Chloroquine and COVID 19 a potential game changer.
Audience Member
What year was this? 2020.
Jimmy Dore
That's from May 2020.
Audience Member
I hope they were struck down by Mark Zuckerberg's fact checkers.
Jimmy Dore
I hope Mark Zuckerberg's fact checkers got to them. So here's Tony just. Just to let you know. Tony Fauci, his crimes. There's videos of his crimes. Right. So here's what he's going to tell you what his crime is active to the topic today is the issue of pandemic preparedness. And if there's one message that I want to leave with you today, based on my experience, and you'll see that in a moment, is that there is no question that there will be a challenge the coming administration. Administration in the arena of infectious diseases, but also there will be a surprise outbreak.
Audience Member
I'm telling you. Why do they always, like, have to broadcast they're going to do it and then they do it and then it's a conspiracy to say they did it?
Jimmy Dore
How do you, how do you know there's going to be. First of all, there's no question that the coming administration is going to be have to deal with a pandemic. How do you know that, by the way? Didn't happen until his last year in office.
Audience Member
Yeah, the God of science knows all, I guess, right?
Jimmy Dore
All of a sudden. Oh, right. There's. There's an election coming.
Audience Member
Hey, Peter Hotez said we're definitely getting something. He gave us a great sneak peek at the new diseases coming out.
Jimmy Dore
And then he said it's going to be a surprise. You. How do you predict something that's a surprise? The answer is you can't do it.
Audience Member
That's how.
Jimmy Dore
What's that?
Audience Member
These can tell you what the crime they're going to do to your dumb fucking face and do it and they. And they will get away with it. What do you think that's normal? How is that normal to anyone? Well, I have some theories.
Jimmy Dore
If you ever want to start social distancing yourself, Kurt, tell the truth about Fauci to your friends.
Audience Member
I have done that and it does work.
Jimmy Dore
It does work. I can attest to that, believe me. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

Let's get right to the highlights of Donald Trump's speech today. Here we go. Here's some highlights as we gather.
Donald Trump
Today, our government confronts a crisis of trust. For many years, a radical and corrupt establishment has extracted power and wealth from our citizens while the pillars of our society lay broken and seemingly incomplete disrepair. We now have a government that cannot manage even a simple crisis at home while at the same time stumbling into a continuing catalog of catastrophic events abroad.
Jimmy Dore
The journey to reclaim our so that is 100% correct. We can't even handle the crisis at home. We couldn't handle Lahanai, we couldn't handle hurricanes. We can't handle fires. Meanwhile, we're shipping trillions of dollars to the war machine to fight foreign wars for fun. They're not for fun. They're to put money in the hands of the people who actually run the world. It's an upward transform. It's an upward transfer of wealth. Kurt, Mexican's here. Hey, Kurt. Yeah, so he's right. As the LA was burning, we had empty reservoirs. 117 million gallon empty reservoir right in Pacific Palisades. They had 100 fire trucks in Los Angeles in the mechanic shop. 100. Did you know that, Kurt?
Audience Member
Yeah, I did not know that.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, 100.
Audience Member
They have second guess them. Jimmy, you're not qualified. You're not a lesbian.
Jimmy Dore
I'm not that fire. They had fire. Fire hydrants broken that had been dismantled for parts by vandals. They knew this. They didn't do anything. Richest state in the world. It's the fifth largest economy in the world. They can't. They don't have fire hydrants that work. They can't keep their reservoir. After 12 months of record historic rains, reservoirs empty because they drained them on purpose. The mayor hiring a water. The person in charge of the water department at twice the salary of the first original $750,000 that woman made and she drained this. Anyway. I don't want to make this about LA wildfires back to Trump, but he's right about that. We can't even handle. And he. Anyway, I'm so upset about the LA wildfires.
Donald Trump
Public has not been an easy one, that I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our cause have tried to take my freedom and indeed to take my life. I was saved by God to make America great again.
Jimmy Dore
So there you go. I'm gonna get into a little bit more later about the darkest chapter in American politics I think happened in the last couple years since Trump announced he was running for president again. And they put all of the people around him in jail, including Steve Bannon. They prosecuted the president, foreign president. First time we've ever done something like that.
Audience Member
We didn't prosecute Bush and Cheney after they tortured the folks.
Jimmy Dore
They're still. They're still. Yeah, they're still walking around. Oh, it's about the. Like I said. Oh, Jim. It's about the rule of law, really. Why is George Bush still walked here at the Free Man?
Audience Member
You know, it's actually, there's probably been all this dark stuff you don't know about, but this is the first time that I. I can recall where it was this much in your face. Like the stuff they would normally have to be clandestine about, they were doing pretty openly.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, it's gross. It's beyond gross. It's everything that the media and the Democrats have been saying that Trump was doing, undermining our democracy, weaponizing the, prosecuting his political. They were doing.
Audience Member
The enemy of the people was the press. He was right.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. And he was right.
Audience Member
I was calling the frenemy of the people, but no enemy.
Jimmy Dore
Enemy of people. Yeah. So here's some more highlights.
Donald Trump
Our country can no longer deliver basic services in times of emergency, as recently shown by the wonderful people of North Carolina. Been treated so badly. And other states who are still suffering from a hurricane that took place place many months ago, or more recently, Los Angeles, where we are watching fires still tragically burn from weeks ago without even a token of defense. They're raging through the houses and community.
Jimmy Dore
45 minutes it took for them to respond to the first fire took 45 minutes, as documented. I showed you that video.
Donald Trump
It is even affecting some of the wealthiest and most powerful individuals in our country, some of whom are sitting here right now.
Jimmy Dore
Interesting. Here's more. I'll just say this before we play more. I found his speech refreshing. I've never said that about an inaugural address. I've never said that about a State of the Union. I found this refreshing. And by the way, it was brief. It was less than 30 minutes.
Donald Trump
Today I will sign a series of historic executive Orders. With these actions, we will begin the complete restoration of America and the revolution of common sense. It's all about common sense. First, I will declare a national emergency at our southern border.
Jimmy Dore
Big deal. There's. Our former borders are sitting right there going, huh, did I fail? No, she did what she was told to, which was keep the border open. They. They both did what they were told to. This is Bernie Sanders said in 2016, open borders are billionaires. That's what they want. It's a Koch brother scheme to drive down wages. And they did it.
Donald Trump
All illegal entry will immediately be halted and we will begin the process of returning millions and millions of criminal aliens back to the places from which they came.
Jimmy Dore
How could you be against that? How could you be against stopping illegal immigration and returning criminal. Illegal aliens to where they came from? How could you be against that? I predict that when they go do their crackdowns, if they do them and to. I predict most of it's going to be for show. There's no way. There's no way they can deport 20 million people. They're not going to do it. So they're going to have some shows and some of this. But. And it's going to. And it's going to be mostly criminals. That's my prediction. I could be wrong. I hope I'm right. And if you're against deporting criminal illegal aliens, then you. There's something wrong with you. What do you got to say?
Audience Member
Yeah, I don't know how either. Because what about all those people they brought in that lowered the wages at Purdue and all those other companies.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Audience Member
Where they had to actually, like, it can't be right. But from what I understand some of these countries, like, we have to do this. Like they're actually like being made to. I mean, a thing they want to do anyway. But it looked like the government was weigh in on making that happen, like lowering the wages. Hire this group of illegals through this app. I don't understand. I never understood why you couldn't just go to these companies and be like, who's here legally and who's not? I get them out. But the criminal thing, the most baffling thing to me is how are you being spied on? I'm being spied on.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Audience Member
We're all being hit American soil. You can't find them no more.
Jimmy Dore
Here we go. More.
Donald Trump
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back Pain.
Jimmy Dore
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you say? What do you. What do you. What do you think about that, Kurt?
Audience Member
Hey, keep them coming, man.
Let's see, you know, and then just looking at the people that are seated, not applauding that these former military members should get back pay, and they're not applauding that. They're not standing for that. Where is your loyalty to the country, to the people that serve, their loyalties.
Jimmy Dore
To big farmers profits? What?
Audience Member
Kurt, Is that Miley. Is Miley in the audience?
Jimmy Dore
I don't think so.
Audience Member
Oh, that would be really.
Donald Trump
And I will sign an order.
Jimmy Dore
Maybe, though. Maybe those people who are in uniform aren't applauding because they had to take the goddamn. They took it. Right. Because if they didn't take it, they'd be out. They're like, oh, I didn't have to take it. That they're probably like, oh, damn, I didn't have to take it. I would have got paid anyway.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. Yes.
Donald Trump
To stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's going to end immediately.
Jimmy Dore
So I don't. That's not just medical experiments, which, by the way, look into the anthrax vaccine. Remember when they said, oh, there's Gulf War Syndrome? Lots of soldiers and military men got Gulf War syndrome who came nowhere near the Gulf.
Audience Member
Just to let you know, Jimmy, this was a big story that a bunch of soldiers didn't want to take it. Okay. And at the time, I remember my dad telling me, don't. He was like, don't get a job. Work with your hands because it'll ruin your body. And you just get broken old. And don't join the military because they'll use you as a guinea pig.
Jimmy Dore
Yep.
Audience Member
And that was a thing. If you signed up for the military, they tested stuff out on you. So when it became civilian time, that's mandated. It was crazy to me because I'm like, I thought I had to sign up for service to go through that.
Jimmy Dore
So that's good news. People who got kicked out of the military because they wouldn't take an experimental vaccine, which wouldn't be. Wouldn't be considered a vaccine. Just five years ago, that had changed the definition. They changed the definition. Now it's considered a vaccine. Experimental medical treatment. Now they get their. They get reinstated, and they get back pay. That's amazing. It's amazing. Joe Biden didn't do that.
Donald Trump
From this day on, the United States of America will be a free, sovereign, and independent nation. We will stand bravely we will live proudly, we will dream boldly. And nothing will stand in our way because we are Americans. The future is ours. And our golden age has just begun.
Jimmy Dore
I gotta say, I am jealous of his hair color. I gotta say. I gotta say. I was looking at my hair color today. I'm like, ah, man, I missed when I was a brunette.
Audience Member
There's golden hair and there's a guy.
Jimmy Dore
Like a guy who's got the balls to keep dying his hair even though he's almost 80.
Audience Member
It comes out gold when he's done putting the blonde into the white.
Jimmy Dore
I gotta do something I hate. I really, I'm down on my hair. Put it that way. The color anyway, either I should go all. I don't know. It doesn't. Anyway, I'm too, too vain. Let's watch.
Donald Trump
After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Jimmy Dore
What? You mean the, the executive branch of the United States government wasn't already committed to free speech? He has to sign that exam. Oh no, that's right, they weren't. That's right. That's right. They were trying. They were, they were, they were pressuring social media companies to make sure that they censored people. Let's, let's listen to that again.
Donald Trump
After years and years of illegal and unconstitutional federal efforts to restrict free expression, I will also sign an executive order to immediately stop all government censorship and bring back free speech to America.
Jimmy Dore
You wouldn't think that the president would have to say something like that, but no, they do. He does. Because we've been living in a dictable. All hallmark of dictators is censorship. And they always say they're doing it to protect you. That's exactly what they said. This time we have to stop misinformation because misinformation. People will die from misinformation. You know what?
Audience Member
No. I remember Iraq. I remember.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Audience Member
I can't believe people the nerve to talk about China. Hey, that guy was a China apologist.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Audience Member
Do you remember where you live? And you know you have less freedoms in. I've been there. Your day to day freedoms are so much less than China. I didn't want that to be how it is, but that's what it is.
Jimmy Dore
So I think that may be the second most important part of the speech. Here we go.
Donald Trump
Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents. Something I know something about.
Jimmy Dore
Yep. So realize what he's saying, that's the President of the United States saying that, hey, the justice system, the Justice Department was weaponized against me. First time in history we've ever done something like that, prosecuted by. And they had. And they couldn't find a crime. Yeah, they couldn't find a crime.
Audience Member
I'm surprised by that.
Jimmy Dore
Most of all, they couldn't find a crime to prosecute him of. They had all bs. Garbage crime. Oh, oh. He. He mishandled classified documents. He's a person of the United States. He can. He can unclassify any document he wants. He's the guy who does that.
Audience Member
By the way, you got too many of them.
Jimmy Dore
They found Joe. But they found a box of classified documents in Joe Biden's garage next to his Corvette when he was vice president. He didn't have the authority to declassify them and they didn't prosecute him. Hillary Clinton, she had top secret emails on her private server. Didn't prosecute her. Donald Trump. We gotta get him. We're gonna raid his house. We're gonna raid his house.
Audience Member
That's right. Go through all Melania's stuff. Yeah, in front of her. Let him know who's boss. I don't blame Hillary. This is grandma. A lot of grandmas keep a full server in their bathroom and burn it with acids.
Jimmy Dore
I'm gonna. And. And then they had to charge him with the normal real estate practices, elevating the price of your property. Normal.
Audience Member
Normal charge with first degree, normal real estate practice.
Jimmy Dore
So to me, that is. Was the greatest threat to our democracy. They did it right out in the open and nobody would say anything about it. Cornel west was cool with it when he came on my show. You think he would stand up and say something? Didn't say a word. Didn't say a word. Didn't say a word. Called me. Called me a Trumper because I thought that was a bad idea. That we would set a precedent of prosecuting former presidents because we were afraid he was going to win again.
Audience Member
Yeah, prosecute him for the crimes they do, you know, like the mass murders that have been unaccounted for.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Audience Member
We just don't call it the. What is it? The post World War II rules based order.
Jimmy Dore
The rules based order, not law, because.
Audience Member
We are above the law.
Jimmy Dore
So to me, yeah, so to me, that was, that was, that was the. To me, the. The darkest moment politically in American history, maybe since the Civil War. That's. That's the darkest moment when the media, the establishment in both parties and every Democrat in the country went along with prosecuting and weaponizing the Justice Department and using it as a weapon. Political weapon.
Audience Member
Yeah. I would say it's the darkest unclassified moment.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. The darkest unclassified moment. Yeah.
Donald Trump
Will not allow that to happen. It will not happen again. Under my leadership, we will restore fair, equal, and impartial justice under the constitutional rule of law. And we are going to bring law and order back to our cities. This week, I will also end the government policy of trying to socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.
Jimmy Dore
Sounds like to me this is Martin Luther King Day. That sounds like a paraphrasing of Martin Luther King. I have a dream.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
When people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
Audience Member
Yeah. That's why the FBI and CIA killed him.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. Remember?
Audience Member
And then they have the balls to put up Martin Luther King Day recruiting ads.
Jimmy Dore
That people will be judged by their merit, not by their gender or their sexual identity.
Donald Trump
We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit based.
Jimmy Dore
That sounds like Martin Luther King.
Donald Trump
As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female.
Audience Member
I was going to make a joke about that. Are they going to tell us what a woman is?
Jimmy Dore
When is somebody going to tell me what a woman is?
Audience Member
Are we having full. Are we having disclosure, as they say?
Donald Trump
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pain.
Jimmy Dore
We already saw that part. There's these guys. They're not going to show.
Donald Trump
And I will sign an order to stop our warriors from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments while on duty. It's going to end immediately.
Jimmy Dore
So not only medical experiments, but he means social experiments. Like they've been doing all the woke stuff inside the military, too.
Audience Member
Hey, can we get that also that we don't have to be part of that.
Jimmy Dore
I hope so.
Audience Member
Military.
Jimmy Dore
We do that in Hollywood.
Donald Trump
Armed forces will be free to focus on their sole mission, defeating America's enemies.
Audience Member
Are they going to invade the CIA?
Jimmy Dore
Right. I think they should. His hair looks good. I got to say, for a guy who's 78 or whatever, hair looks good.
Donald Trump
Like in 2017, we will again build the strongest military in the world has ever seen. We will measure our success not only by the battles we win, but also by the wars that we end. And perhaps most Importantly, the wars we never get into.
Jimmy Dore
When was the last time you heard the president say something like that? I can't remember.
Donald Trump
My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier. That's what I want to be, a peacemaker and a unifier. I'm pleased to say that as of yesterday, one day before, I assume so when was.
Jimmy Dore
Again, what was the last time you heard a president say that? I want to be known as a.
Audience Member
Peacemaker before they get elected. Usually they. Usually it's all said before they're elected, and then right after, it goes right out the window with a. You know, maybe there's a bad tailor.
Jimmy Dore
Maybe they gave Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize, and then he went on to bomb Libya, overthrow their Democrat, their. Their leader. Then he went on.
Audience Member
He's already done a bunch of violent crimes. At the time, the joke I made was Jay Z should also interrupt his speech because Beyonce technically deserves that more than him as well. Yeah, like a Grammy. She also deserved the Peace prize more than Obama. You could argue she did more for peace than he did.
Jimmy Dore
They gave Barack Obama. That's how you know the Nobel Prizes are just political garbage. They gave Barack Obama Nobel Peace Prize, immediately ramped up the war in Afghanistan, started bombing Libya, turned it into a failed state with open slave markets, started bombing Syria, put a hit out on Osama bin Laden, then dropped more bombs than George W. Bush. They dropped so many bombs, they ran out of bombs.
Audience Member
Yeah. All awards are bullshit. You can have Miami's. I told you, you could have them. All that shit is a sweater on a dog. That's what you are.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Audience Member
You like your sweater. You get so cute.
I like sweaters on dogs, so.
Jimmy Dore
I like sweaters on dogs. I think. I think that's it. I think that's. To me, that was the highlight. Is there any more here? Really?
Donald Trump
The hostages in the Middle east are.
Jimmy Dore
The hostages are back.
Donald Trump
Their families again.
Jimmy Dore
He was able to stop the genocide. Now some people say that that's all a rouge and that Bibi's going to start the war up again. I think there's going to be some stuff happen that we don't like. Like Trump's going to maybe try to deport a million Palestinians to another country. He might give the west bank away. There might be other things he does, but he stopped a genocide.
Audience Member
I think the Palestinians or the ones from over there.
Jimmy Dore
No, no, the actual.
Audience Member
Thank you.
Donald Trump
America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire World. A short time from now, we are going to be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. And we will ensure the name of a.
Jimmy Dore
Why do I find that hilarious?
Audience Member
Because you know someone. Because all the other things that are like, that you should care about, a bunch of people are only going to care about that.
Jimmy Dore
That's it. Yeah.
Audience Member
That's why I know they're going to be like. He's gonna say, that's like the Gulf of America. They're gonna be mad.
Jimmy Dore
It's like a joke. But he's doing. He said, I don't know. Can you do that? I thought. I didn't. I didn't know that the President got the name Bodies of Water, and we're gonna. And we're gonna rename the Pacific to Melania.
Audience Member
Well, everybody doesn't observe it around the world. You know, Turkey is not called Turkey anymore. It's called Turkey.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Audience Member
And India was never called that. It was called Bahrat. And Britain just said, oh, they're by the Indus river. So they're Indians. So really, no one's even using that name for real.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, really?
Audience Member
American Indians can't. Yeah, it's a endonermic. And enter. I can't remember the name, but there's names within a country you have for stuff that you use, and there's the ones other countries use for you. So India is not their name. Turkey is not. I mean, Turkey. What? Lateral move. But that happens all the time.
Jimmy Dore
I'm not Jimmy anymore. I'm Jimmy very close. But it's like. Jimmy, it's like you're. Like you're splitting hairs. There we go.
Donald Trump
President William McKinley. To Mount McKinley. Where it should be and where it belongs.
Jimmy Dore
I don't know what. What happened with Mount McKinley? Do you know? I don't know. They took him off Mount McKinley. I don't know what he's talking about.
Audience Member
He wasn't even on it. So was that.
Jimmy Dore
I don't know what he's talking about. We're going to look it up. Watch this.
Donald Trump
President McKinley made our country very rich through tariffs and through talent. He was a natural businessman and gave Teddy Roosevelt the money for many of the great things he did, including the Panama Canal, which has foolishly been given to the country of Panama after. The United States. The United States, I mean, think of this. Spent more money than ever spent on a project before and lost 38,000 lives in the building of the Panama Canal. We have been treated very badly from this foolish gift that should have never been Made. And Panama's promise to us has been broken. The purpose of our deal and the spirit of our treaty has been totally violated. American ships are being severely overcharged and not treated fairly in any way, shape or form. And that includes the United States Navy. And above all, China is operating the Panama Canal. And we didn't give it to China. We gave it to Panama and we're taking it back.
Audience Member
Wow.
Jimmy Dore
So I didn't know. I don't. I didn't know about that either.
Audience Member
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
That China's. So what, did Panama lease the Panama Canal to China or something?
Audience Member
Well, when did we give Panama back?
Jimmy Dore
Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter gave the Panama Canal back. Right.
Audience Member
Okay. Because shortly after that is when we got into business with Noriega to smuggle cocaine into America. And then Noriega got greedy and they had to crack down on it. Remember that?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Yes. Is China.
Audience Member
So I bet I had something. Cocaine into America. I'll bet you if I had to guess what it had to do with.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Audience Member
This one says the Panamanian government took control of the canal on December 31, 1999.
Oh, then that's part of the. Yeah, yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So I think. But I think it was Jimmy Carter who signed the deal to give it to them and that it was. Be like it would happen in 1999. I think it was. I think it was. Did Jimmy Carter sign the Panama Canal thing? Yes, he signed the Panama Canal Treaty and neutrality treaty on September 7, 1977. So then I think it was like, okay, we're gonna. You'll have full control of it in 1999. Has Panama given the canal to China? It's currently under the control of the Panamanian government. China has won numerous bids to manage specific sections of the Canal's port since 1999. So, yeah, so just what I said. So they're like leasing. They're like leasing, I'm going to guess, the most important parts of the canal.
Audience Member
Why would we have allowed that?
Jimmy Dore
Why did they allow that?
Audience Member
See, that's the thing is crazy is like you had China Gate before 9 11, which was right around 1999. Right. That's when a lot of technology was leaked to China on purpose, I think, obviously. And. And then 911 happened. We didn't talk about it no more. And then, oh, China's our adversary. But like, there must be an entire contingent that's doing stuff with China within the government that, like that Panama Canal thing's so weird and out of the blue to me, you know, I just didn't know about it. But that's very strange. So that must be something very strategic.
Jimmy Dore
As creepy as Anthony Blinken is, and you know, the way he says, please respect the process, you know, it's just so creepy. What's even creepier to me is the people who pretend not to hear a word of what you're saying because they have the robot job of keeping everything together while the cops get you guys out of there. I mean, if there's anything lower than the person at the podium, it's the people blindly defending them just for money. Is that why those people don't stand up and say anything like they know what's going on? As much as you know what's going on? Why is it just you and Sam Husseini who's. Imagine if the whole. I said. I think I said that on Twitter. Imagine if the whole room did that one by one by one, we might actually have some change in this country. But of course, they all kept their heads down and they wanted to be good boys and girls. Why is that?
Kurt Metzger
I actually think, and I hadn't thought about this until recently, that the State Department press corps that's in there could have actually ended the war or.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
Contributed to the ending of the war by doing what you said. What they should have done is they should have organized and walked out and told the. Kind of like a strike and told the State Department that they wouldn't return until at the least, they forced Israel to allow as many reporters as they wanted to go into the Gaza Strip to see what Israel was doing, because that would have just forced the Western public to see the horrors day after day that we see on social media. Unfortunately, it would have also led to Israeli massacres of mainstream Western reporters. Like, they massacred the world Central Kitchen aid workers, which would have probably ended the war pretty quickly. It would. They could have also just. Yeah, Just shown what a charade it was. But they're all just a bunch of careerists. I mean, except for. There's a few exceptions. I mean, Saeed Arakat is one of the few Palestinian reporters in there, and he just said, you know, I'm the only Palestinian in there. It's my obligation to keep asking them questions. So I get why he does it, but I was there at the press briefing the day before Tony Blinken came, and this is with the normal press secretary, Matthew Miller, who's just so condescending.
Jimmy Dore
Well, he's constantly smiling. He's.
Kurt Metzger
Yes. Smiling. Insulting people who ask tough questions, cutting them off. He's just a condescending little punk. And I was so it was so cathartic to be able to tell that to his face. But I had to sit through the briefing the day before and he was like celebrating. He actually said it was great that Syria was wiped off the map. Like saying things that would have even been shocking from, like a Bush administration official. He just openly, casually saying it. And the reporters just are, with a few exceptions, just humdrum about the whole thing. And one after another, if you go back and watch the briefing, one after another, they thanked him for his work.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, my years.
Kurt Metzger
And they each thanked him for their exchanges. And he was just so happy at this shit eating grin. Like, I, you know, I really enjoyed our exchanges and I know they've been tough. And it allows the illusion of democracy and this robust adversarial press to continue while the policy stays the same and goes unchallenged. And so, yeah, that, that also kind of drove me to do what I did. Just the way that the press corps participates, I mean, yeah, fine. They have kids and they want to keep their, as George W. Bush said, you got to put food on your family. They wanted to keep them to keep their. They want to keep their careers. They have like a prep. They have a press room in the State Department that's like a newsroom. So, like, you feel like you're in your own newsroom. And the New York Times and all the Reuters, they all get their own cubicle. But it's the US Government and the State Department that's providing them with those resources, providing them with hardwired Internet. And then they build a relationship with the State Department staff. If you watch closely. Right af, right before I interrupted, Tony Blinken, he actually said, I've gotten to know a lot of you all as friends. I know that might hurt your careers, but, you know, I really appreciate your friendship. And they would, you know, they would go to dinner at his house or, you know, Jose Andres, the restaurateur, who's basically like the de facto White Biden White House culinary influencer who got all his staff killed in Gaza and still accepted a medal of freedom from Biden. Just such a, like, just such a dastardly move. You know, he has all these restaurants in Washington. He, like, controls the restaurant industry, fine dining in Washington. And Blinken would go and like bring reporters to those great restaurants and they'd all get treated really well. And they think Blinken's cool. These are like nerds, you know, and they get to hang out with the Secretary of State and he plays guitar and speaks French and gallivants around the globe. And that's the culture of the State Department press. They could have actually saved lives, but they chose to dine out with the Secretary of State and chose to advance their own careers.
