I'm Kiana and I leveled up my business with Shopify. Once I figured out that Shopify was a thing, I never turned back. I can create a site with my eyes closed. Shopify thinks ahead of us, you know, and it thinks about the customer more than anything. Every day I'm thinking about some other new business, but Shopify is doing it to me because it's so easy to use. It's like I can't stop. I'm addicted. Start your free trial@shopify.com everybody come see me on tour. I'll be in Spokane, Tacoma, Los Angeles, special video panel show with special celebrities. And then we'll be in Levittown, New York, Rosemont, Illinois and Chicago. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. Establishment media sucks.
Kurt Metzger
August light and so good luck Bullshit. We can't afford why he's fomenting this
Tucker Carlson
watch and see as his jack golf
Jimmy Dore
the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on. It's the chimney door. So get this Larry Fink. You know, Larry Fink is. He's the guy. He's the boss of everybody. He was a failure at first, but
Kurt Metzger
I blame the computer. It was a computer error, I always said for old Larry.
Jimmy Dore
So he, he, yeah, he bankrupted his first company. Then he invented BlackRock. And he's such a criminal, he now runs the world. So Those are the people who run the world. Criminals. And so listen to what he says. He's. You are going to be you. You are going to be financing these data centers, even though I just showed you you don't need them. That we don't need them because Nvidia has invented a tiny computer that does the work of a giant data center.
Kurt Metzger
They're going to charge the Tesla robot cops. Don't worry. We have a use for them, Jimmy. It's not for AI. It's going to be for the robot police of you in your golden prison.
Jimmy Dore
Here we go. Well, let's listen.
Larry Fink
If we could get more and more Americans to think about growing with the United States, we will have far than enough money to invest in this infrastructure.
Jimmy Dore
What? So when he says we have to convince Americans to grow with the United States, he means. He means we have to convince them to give us their money, okay? Their retirement, the money that they have in their 401ks, so that we can then put it into these data centers. That's what he means by growing with the United States. They say the United States? Yeah, it's the rest he doesn't say. You mean us, Our private companies? Okay.
Larry Fink
We could get more and more Americans to think about growing with the United States. We will have far than enough money to invest in this infrastructure. But as the governor was talking about, the need for electrons is growing every day. Some of these, you know, if we're going to be the leader in technology, which we are, if we are going to be the leader in AI, which we presently are, it's just going to require trillions of dollars of investments. And if we don't invest in it, China will be the global leader in this.
Jimmy Dore
I am so. I. I'm so stoked.
Kurt Metzger
China wins, dickhead.
Jimmy Dore
I. So he's inadvertently telling us to move to China to save our incomes.
Kurt Metzger
It sounds exactly like what he's saying. That's exactly what I was thinking just before he said that. That is exactly what it feels like. I'm going to have to flee to China. Are you kidding me?
Larry Fink
So to me, it's not weather. This is a must. And if you think about how that translates, it translates into a more dynamic economy. We need the United States economy to grow it over over 2%. We need the US economy to grow at 3%, especially with the growing deficits the federal government has. And so much of this money, not just the project, is going to be coming from the private sector, from savings accounts, from pension accounts, from insurance companies,
Jimmy Dore
on and on and on,
Kurt Metzger
gee, maybe you shouldn't have sterilized like half the population with your various boosters and gender studies and what have you.
Jimmy Dore
So he just said that they're going to take it from your retirement accounts and your savings accounts.
Sam Cedar
And?
Jimmy Dore
And as George Carlin said, they're coming
Kurt Metzger
for your Social Security mandatory investment. Boy, that sounds like. I don't even know Communism had a term like that, right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
You call it that.
Larry Fink
The whole world is in need of improving the infrastructure.
Jimmy Dore
So we are collectively being robbed by a guy named Fink. Who saw that coming, let that sink in. It's brought to us by people who don't want people to have any water. Do you really think they're not capable of this as well? So Katherine Austin Fitz, friend of the show, she breaks this down for us. Ready? She says you don't hold the asset, you hold a claim. So you don't actually own your 401k. This is how I'm reading it. You hold a claim. Most people's 401ks and pensions and brokerage accounts aren't held in their name. They're held in street name. @dtcc seed and company. That means you're a beneficial owner with a contract claim, not the legal owner of the stock or the bond. Fink isn't asking you to buy data centers directly. He's reallocating the securities already pledged. Inside that system, the collateral is being repurposed. The great taking shows how securities held in custody have been re. Hypothetical. I don't even know how to say that word. Rehypothecated and pledged up the chain to support derivatives, repo and central bank operations. Now that same collateral pool is being redirected into strategic infrastructure, AI, energy, digital grids. It's the same plumbing, new destination. The secured creditors at the top still have first claim. If there's a crisis. Wait, there's more. Wait, there's more. Mandatory. So mandatory means the choice is being removed. I have spent 30 years documenting how the system shifts from free markets to to controlled ledger. When the investment becomes mandatory, it's not markets allocating capital, it's the policy using your pensions as the funding mechanism. The risk and the loss stay with you. The upside and control go to the entities building and operating the grid. This is why control of the ledger met. It's kind of like how when the banks turned commercial banking into casino hopping and they did the derivatives and they. So when that all crashed, they got to keep all the money they made, but your money had to bail them out and make them Whole. It's like that. So you didn't see any of the profits from when they did the mortgage scams in the 2000s that crashed in 2008. You didn't see any of the profits. They did. So it's socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for us. Except we have to give them the socialism. It's redistributing money upwards. So these fucking morons that I see on the social medias talking about socialism, redistribute capitalism has been redistributing money upwards for your entire stupid life. It goes the. At least socialism takes it the other way. But now it's going. It's been going upwards. It doesn't go down.
Kurt Metzger
Innovation, Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
What about all the what about innovation? This is why control of the ledger matters more than the assets. Once everything runs through a centralized digital ledger and the cleaning clearing system, the ability to move, freeze and reallocate funds without your direct consent becomes trivial. AI infrastructure needs guaranteed long term capital. Your pension is perfect for that. If you can't say no. Whoa. Why do you think they're building underground luxury cities?
Kurt Metzger
They. Ben had them.
Jimmy Dore
They're. They're there for when desperate shit now they're there for when everybody wakes up to this stuff. That's why they're also building the ICE prisons. It's for when everybody wakes up to this. And the data center will just be prisons to put the rest of us when we rise up. That's it. Unless someone beats them to it. But we've got our priorities strike. Because you know, most of us are focused on who Elliot Page is going to play in the Christopher Nolan's Odyssey. Instead of worrying about this stuff here. Charles. Charles says he is. This guy is the Chairman of the WEF. This is Larry Fink. He's the head of BlackRock, one of the three companies that own.
Kurt Metzger
What is that Jimmy? I've never heard of it.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's Bill Maher. He doesn't know what WDF is.
Kurt Metzger
Okay, I've heard of Davos.
Jimmy Dore
Nothing he says can be trusted. The same ghoulish anti human globalist driving climate change fraud, the COVID 19 pantomime MRNA gene therapies, central banking, digital currencies, mass surveillance and the great recess. As reset. As evil as he is powerful as he is utterly ruthless. That's who this guy is invented woke.
Kurt Metzger
That's the inventor of woke.
Jimmy Dore
He invented the WOKE stuff to keep people fighting amongst each other. So we don't realize the game that's being played on us where wealth is being redistributed upwards to him and the Epstein class. So we fight amongst each other and poorer people in more desperate situations. The immigrants.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. Esg, environmental, social. This fucks up your environment. There's no climate change is antisocial and go fuck yourself. Esg.
Jimmy Dore
The whole race against China is such an effing psyop. To get the public to comply quickly and not ask questions.
Kurt Metzger
It's insulting when they say China like that. I'm like, are you kidding me right now? You know, I'm only worried about Israel and Iran. How could I even think about China when our best friend Israel is in trouble? That's what I find suspicious the most. Jimmy,
Jimmy Dore
why are we subsidizing our own surveillance with our water and our tax dollars?
Kurt Metzger
Because your jerk offs that fucking care about the dumbest shit on the planet instead of, you know, dying. So I heard the rose tag some no, no jokes on it. Where.
Jimmy Dore
So Richard Werner, the ex wef young global leader, shocked me yet again with his chilling insight. You May recall in 2023 he revealed that the purported end game was CBDC, central banking, digital currencies implanted under your skin.
Kurt Metzger
Finally.
Jimmy Dore
And then. And so that's why I keep warning people against ubi. You know, when Elon Musk started advocating for ubis, which is Universal Basic Income, meaning they're just. The government is just going to give you an income and you don't work. When you hear guys like Elon Musk advocating that, you know that's for control. And the only way you're going to be able to get that is if you let them plant it under your skin.
Kurt Metzger
So all the cuckoo end times things that I heard about that were silly except it's not going to be a barcode. It's going to be way worse.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
Wow.
Jimmy Dore
Now we're being told that UBI will be needed due to the a artificial intelligence that's taking our jobs. And here's the clincher. He believes the real reason they're building massive centralized AI data centers is for the implementation of CBDCs.
Kurt Metzger
Of course it is. But don't forget the robocops. They're. They're going to put those Tesla bots. You don't have cops no more and they don't do a good job. Now that's intentional. You're going to want this when they. I know it sounds bad now, but by the time they get this going, you're going to want it. That's how bad they're going to crash America first.
Jimmy Dore
So let's listen to what she says.
Katherine Austin Fitts
Have to admit this, but after listening to Richard Werner on Tucker Carlson, I think the globalist elites are well on their way to implementing Agenda 2030. You may recall in 2023, Werner dropped the bombshell that the original plan was to have us accept central bank digital currencies as chips under the skin. And that the way they would do that is through implementing universal basic income and forcing everyone to take the chip in order to get the income. Well, now they tell us, of course, with AI, that all these jobs will be lost and we need a universal basic income. But the real clincher that Werner just dropped, which I hadn't thought of, is that the reason behind these huge centralized AI centers is to create the energy so that they can implement their central bank digital currencies and monitor all of us and all of our transactions in real time.
Richard Werner
Oh, they don't have so much power. They can't control millions of people. Well, this is what the drive to build all these hundreds, in fact, thousands of data centers is about. It is an organizational challenge to micromanage the world's population through the new financial world order. Yes, but they're working on solving that. AI is really about that. If AI was about helping us to be more productive, the principle of decentralization would be applied because any human organization and any use and any. Anything where humans are involved. If you introduce the principle of decentralization, subsidiarity, it will be more productive, no doubt. More efficient. More productive. That's been demonstrated in many contexts. I mentioned the warfare, military and businesses and so on. It's true for everything. But that's not what they're doing. They're creating highly centralized structures, which proves that it's not about actual productivity, it's about control, controlling us. That's why they need these huge resources.
Jimmy Dore
Okay,
Kurt Metzger
I hope it's aliens. I'd rather something from a movie.
Jimmy Dore
I'd rather have aliens take over.
Kurt Metzger
I. Yeah, I know, that's what I'm saying. By the time they get us where they need us for 2030. They never gave up on 2030. The Heritage foundation horseshit. What about Project 2025? The thing that has always mattered was 2030. And think of how crazy it's going to get now that climate change. They've had to back away from it, but half the population still thinks it's real. Like wearing a mask for Covid, there's gonna be, like, climate change, like massacres in their head now because they've lived with the lie too long.
Jimmy Dore
People no matter how much data you tell people about climate change, again, it's, it is chosen ignorance.
Kurt Metzger
Well, you chose religion. You chose the secular religion of the state.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
I always thought leaving a religion meant I didn't have to have religion inflicted on me. But no. God is dead. Long live God is how they look at it. And they're going to slowly take out everything you got, family and connections with other people and whatever, and it's going to be replaced with the load bearing, made up bullshit of the state. You know, like wear a mask even when it never worked. Wear one forever. Because my whole idea of reality for some reason hinges on this. Now
Jimmy Dore
Project 2030 sounds so dystopian because it sounds like. And just like every dictator they're censoring for just to protect you, they're putting the bad people in jail to protect you. Yeah, that's what Project 2030 is. We're going to bring you, we're going to bring you a Shangri La. Your life is going to be. You're not going to have to worry about food or health or you're going to have gender equality. That's one of the goals of 2030.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. And then you'll have both sets of organs and then you'll be a beast minded hermaphrodite, the perfect creature as taught in their wackadoo cult. The Rubedo or the Adam Cadmon. These people are nuts. They're part of a cult, all of them. There's a lot of variations on it, but they call it the old religion and they're actively regularly putting poisons and programming you all day long.
Jimmy Dore
It's been criticized by some for being overly broad, non binding or potentially enabling top down global governance. You think?
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, well, it's like a woman. We don't know what it is.
Jimmy Dore
Wow. This is what Grok says. Progress toward the goals have been uneven with setbacks from events like COVID 19. You think that was a setback Grok? Because Grok is stupid again. Grok only knows the stuff it's fed. You really think COVID 19 was a setback? COVID 19 was a unbelievable success because it showed you how much. It showed them how much people are willing to go along and submit to authority that they would give up. Even in the freest country in the world, they would give up every freedom in the world. The freedom to go outside.
Kurt Metzger
In Canada you can't go in the park and they'll say, put you in a funny farm at a random thing.
Jimmy Dore
Grok.
Kurt Metzger
You have to Tell it how you want it to think before you ask any question. You can't just ask a question. I know why people do that. You got to say be a character who's not trying to find consensus and be non conspiratorial. Just look at as many facts and just analyze them. You have to like give it an a set of orders first. Then it can answer your questions. Because it can is very good for searching out stuff like it's like a better Google or something, you know so.
Jimmy Dore
And you're going to pay for it
Kurt Metzger
every time so far.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. And they still. If, if, if so Project 2030 it's about. It serves as a 15 year plan of action for people, Planet Prosperity, Peace and Partnership succeeding the Early Millennium Development Goal. So this is all pretend. If they really wanted to help you, they'd immediately give you health care. They'd immediately give you access to health care without bankrupting yourself. They'd allow you at the very least the public option to buy into Medicare. Instead of being forced by law or penalty of law to buy a product from a rapacious private corporation known as health insurance industry. They would at least allow you. But they won't allow you to do that because they don't give a crap about. This isn't about helping you. This is about centralized control. This is about CBDC which is all about control. Again, they're not building those ICE prisons for immigrants. They're building them for you. We stand for you.
News Reporter
Oi.
Sam Cedar
I don't want any trouble.
Jimmy Dore
So they have 17 sustainable development goals. This is from the the UN with 169 specific targets. These are interconnected and apply universally to all countries developed and developing the key goals. No poverty. Really?
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Because Jeff Bezos has 150% turnover in his warehouses and they have to pee in bottles. You think that guy wants to eliminate poverty, zero hunger. They already have enough money to feed the world. Except they put it into bombs to kill people and commit genocide. These are the people who are going to erase poverty and hunger.
Kurt Metzger
Look, do you want China to win at that?
Jimmy Dore
Good health. Good health and well being. Really quality education. Why did they. Why did they make your student loans not able to be expunged in bankruptcy? If they really wanted you to get education, they would just give you an education. Gender equality, whatever the F. That means clean water and sanitation. Which is why they're using it all for the AI data centers.
Kurt Metzger
Did we not have that before? I feel like we should have already had that.
Jimmy Dore
You think we would already had it. Affordable and Clean energy. Well, we find out that the clean energy isn't clean, it's actually dirtier than the oil. Windmills and solar panels. Bigger carbon footprints. Industry innovation. There's that word. Whenever you see innovation, you know there's a billionaire up to some effery. Sustainable cities and communities. I don't want to live in it. Climate action. Climate action. Look, the climate has been wildly changing over the last 6 billion years, while over the last 450 million it's been all. It's been way hotter than it is right now. We're actually in a cooling phase and we're now just starting to warm up. There's. You cannot control the climate of the planet.
Kurt Metzger
Well, we can control the weather. It turns out,
Jimmy Dore
you know that for most.
Kurt Metzger
Control the weather. Why were they bothering us about any of this?
Jimmy Dore
For most of the Earth's history, there was no ice caps at the poles. There wasn't.
Kurt Metzger
You're not an expert, Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
So this idea, that's not what you read?
Kurt Metzger
You are you an expert? Experts are my priest. So you're not one of the priests?
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Kurt Metzger
Shouldn't be telling me anything. You're not a qualified priest. This is what I'm saying. They gave a secular religion to everyone.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. They turned. Yeah. The people. Well, Carl Jung taught us in the undiscovered self that you, your psyche has a needle for believing in a deity, for religion.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
And if you, and if you don't go with, with the traditional religion, which most of liberals don't, then you inventory, you have that psyche, has that need and you create a Dr. Foushee. And science and experts, there are your priests. That's your religion. And anybody who questions your religion is a heretic who needs to be squashed and burned at the stake or put them in the river like a witch and see if they float. And that's what they did during COVID To anybody who questioned the science.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah. It was like the most medieval moronic thing I've ever seen. And people acted like they were the smart ones because they respect the civil authority. And that's better than, you know, reading. Quite a change from the old messages I used to hear when I was in school.
Jimmy Dore
Quite, quite a. I always thought I was taught reading is fundamental. And then Covid happened and they said reading is a right wing conspiracy theory.
Kurt Metzger
It's just a big rabbit hole.
Jimmy Dore
You know what? Don't do your own reading. Let someone else. Let someone else read stuff and then tell you what it means. Just like they used to do with the Bible. Just like they did with slaves. You're a slave when you. They wouldn't allow slaves to learn how to read. It was illegal. If they caught you teaching a slave to read, they'd put you in prison. That's the same thing they did during COVID And our biggest comedians went along with it. How dare you read.
Kurt Metzger
You know how academia works, right? You. Where you stay on your focus on your thing, and there's no such thing as any kind of looking at the big picture. That's not your place. And when you talk to people that are in college. We just went and saw. Talk to these kids or something. One fan. They're very likable. You can hear what they're saying. Like, I'd ask them any other question that's not their direct feel like, well, I don't know about that.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
And then why don't they know about it? Because to get funding and if you're ever going to make money as a scientist, you're going to have to be like that. Because the oligarchs who control it want it that way. I always bring it up to them. I brought. I go, don't you think it's weird that you are like this and the people that pay for you to live believe in the goofiest shit I've ever heard, like Atlantis and shit. The people with the money believe in wackadoo things. They're not scientific about it, but they pay for you to tell me that I'm supposed to stay in my lane.
Jimmy Dore
If you like to hear my jokes about this, come see us in Tacoma and Spokane. And then we're going to be. June 19th, we're doing a live panel show here in Los Angeles. You know those live panel shows with the video and a celebrity panel. Who's going to be. Who's going to be the celebrity? Is it going to be. Is it going to be Theo Vaughn, Candace Owens, Tim Dillon? I don't know. Probably not will it? But it might. I'm reaching out to all those people. Will it be Tucker Carlson? Tucker Carlson's done our panel show before. Dr. Drew. He's done our show before. How about the new Glebe?
Kurt Metzger
No, I'm joking.
Jimmy Dore
How about the new star of the hit podcast, Mystery Boys, Kurt Metzger?
Kurt Metzger
What about Chelsea Handler? I hear she's Chelsea Handler, One of the greats.
Jimmy Dore
One of the greats.

Kurt Metzger
I can pay it.
Jimmy Dore
Remember the difference between. Remember the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is roughly a billion dollars. The difference between a billion dollars and a trillion dollars is roughly a trillion dollars. Keep that in mind.
Kurt Metzger
I could work extra hours.
Jimmy Dore
Total US household debt is now at 18.8 trillion. With credit cards making up a notable but not the largest portion. Mortgages are the biggest with 13 trillion. Okay. Credit card debt hit all time nominal highs in late 2025amid the high interest rates from they were interest rates were 21 to 22% for cards that accrued interest delinquencies have risen. 13.1% of credit card balances were 90 plus days past due in the first quarter of 2026. That's the highest since 2011. Signaling strain for some households. You think? Is that what it signals? As of early 2026, the average U.S. household carries roughly 9,000 to $11,500 in credit card debt. Credit card debt hit a record high. We already said that Averages have risen over time due to inflation, spending habits and high interest rates. Mostly high interest rates. 20 they charged 22% on a credit. You know what a bank pays on Interest for the money they borrow from the Fed. Like nothing. Why is it when I. If you buy. If you get a loan for your house, it's that 6%, which is still crazy. But a credit card, they get to charge you 22%. That is called evil usury.
Kurt Metzger
When you go to buy stuff and they try to offer you a store card, that's where you. That's where you're going to get your 22% credit card. Right?
Jimmy Dore
So look at this. I love. This is. By the way. This is information from grok. It says the averages have risen over time due to spending habits. High interest rates, though inflation adjusted figures remain below 2007. Eight peaks. You know what 2008 was? When the entire economy crashed. Delinquencies are also elevated, indicating financial pressure for some households.
Kurt Metzger
Wait, it's in some analyses, it's below
Jimmy Dore
that in some, but in others it's not.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, in others it's that bad.
Jimmy Dore
So the interest on credit card debt could basically solve every major social problem in the country.
Kurt Metzger
I'll bet if they just put one banker in a wood chipper, a lot of them would fall in line. They seem like total pussies when they're not, you know, in charge of shit with their money.
Jimmy Dore
These people get money for free from the government. They lend it to you and crush you under 22% interest.
Kurt Metzger
Yo, Kevin O'.
Jimmy Dore
Leary. That's a job. That's someone's job. Yeah, go ahead.
Kurt Metzger
If Trump did the right thing and tried Kevin o', Leary, just for his face that I don't like. Never mind all the evil shit he's up to. Just for his face, put him in a wood chipper. I bet all the American billionaires would get in line pretty quick. I bet you they would.
Jimmy Dore
But Jimmy, are you saying you're willing to put all those hardworking credit card company executives out of a job? Hey, if I can play a guitar, I'd sing it.
Kurt Metzger
It's weird because AI seems like it could do their job.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, yeah. The latest credit card delinquencies remain elevated. Key delinquency metrics for credit cards 90 plus days past due. I already told you this. Delinquencies have risen significantly since 2022 due to high interest rates. The post pandemic normalization subprime bowers and lower income households drive much of the increase. Meaning they're the ones paying the highest interest rate. So there's a. There's a tax to being poor because rich people don't pay those high interest rates, right? Poor people do That's a tax to be poor. That's the upward transfer of wealth in capitalism.
Kurt Metzger
But you want to go pay $28 for lunch on your lunch break? Do you see Mr. Wonderful talking about how what idiots people
Jimmy Dore
spend $20 on lunch? Yes, I did see that.
Kurt Metzger
That's not even a great lunch, by the way. Just to be clear.
Jimmy Dore
So what they. So the elite, they create hardships for everyone and then they complain when you can't pay the overpriced bill. And it looks like a certain Jewish carpenter left a few tables unturned. Remember, lift with your legs. Rates vary widely by credit score. Subprime borrowers face even 30% interest rates. 30%. Banks have significant pricing power in this market, allowing them to maintain widespreads. Studies show credit card lending remains highly profitable. Of course, they're charging 30% to the poorest people in the world. The people who actually need credit. Rates have historically hovered in the high teens. But post 2022 environment pushed them higher. Proposals like a 10% federal cap have been discussed. Trump ran on that. Trump said he was going to cap interest rates at 10%.
Kurt Metzger
What about these mom and pop 910 house, no homeowners, right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, if you buy the mom and pop who went out and bought eight or nine houses for their retirement. In short, high rates reflect a combination of macroeconomic benchmarks. Credit risk, business cost, profit motives, paying balances. Listen, that's my favorite. Paying balances in full each month avoids these rates entirely. That's the best strategy. Oh really? Hey, why don't you just go pay off your debt? What do you. What's. Why don't you just go pay it?
Kurt Metzger
Hey, we should do that with the national debt. I bet that could help because I know it's getting worse. I wonder if they.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, why doesn't the government just pay off our national debt? That's the best strategy. Why don't they just paid off?
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Here's what Tucker Carlson. He's kind of sick of this whole system and here's what he has to say about it.
Tucker Carlson
I understand that. And the system is set up against people, which is my main problem with the system. You shouldn't have to be heavily in debt in order to live here.
Jimmy Dore
Agreed.
Tucker Carlson
If you've got a job and you're like a responsible person who works eight hours a day, but you have to have debt.
Jimmy Dore
Debt, no, you shouldn't have to have.
Tucker Carlson
Then the system is designed to enslave you, which ours is. So that I'm just opposed to it.
William LaJeunesse
So.
Tucker Carlson
But I didn't mean to be like,
Jimmy Dore
oh, no, I didn't.
Tucker Carlson
I don't have any debt. No, I know I'm very privileged not to have debt. And by the way, it's the very first thing I did when I made some dough. I didn't buy anything. I paid off all my loans because I despise being indebted to anybody and I despise the people who put you in debt. I do. I mean, it understood from the bottom of my heart.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Tucker Carlson
As I would despise a slave master. And they run around like, oh, we're making the American dream possible. No, you're, you're stealing it actually from people and you should be ashamed.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, but you can't make a vulture feel shame. And I'm pretty sure there's been tax paid studies that told us that. So here's where he's, here's the big one. Here's the big bombshell. He drops.
Tucker Carlson
If you're, if, you know, if you're in debt to anybody, you're literally in debt to them. You owe them something you haven't yet paid. So that is by definition their control over you. Right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. They have control over you and they can take your assets if you don't pay them. So. Yeah, yeah, totally understand it. And it's, it's a risky, It's a. Depending on the, you know, depending on the type of person. Some people are more risk taking when they don't have the funds. You know, I don't believe you should be taking out loans that you can't afford. Yeah, it's, you know, people saying, don't spend money. So, well, I got to buy medicine for my kid or I got to pay my electric bill. Do I put it on a credit card? Yes.
Kurt Metzger
Why would I take a loan that I can't afford? Why wouldn't I? That's the kind of time I would get a loan. So I can't afford something. Is this the idea? I'm supposed to just use money to take loans? I don't need to build up my credit to do this. Imaginary says, yeah, right.
Jimmy Dore
You don't have. It's something most people are aware of, but some people don't practice that.
Tucker Carlson
Yeah, I used to feel that way. Now I'm kind of like, I don't know. I think people should stop paying their credit cards. I know no one else agrees with me and. Oh, you have a moral obligation, really? Well, you have a moral obligation not to send credit card applications to kids in college. So this goes both ways. It's like just blaming the drug addict and never mentioning the dealer. Someone's selling the fentanyl and that person is on the hook too. So that's how I feel. So, like, is it a sin to rip off your drug dealer? I guess it's not one I'm going to judge you for.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I think it's 100% agree with you there.
Kurt Metzger
A drug dealer is. That's actually more immoral.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Kurt Metzger
To rip off a drug dealer than to not pay credit card debts. More immoral. Because a drug dealer, unlike all these other people that sell nothing and just take your money, you are usually getting drugs for your money. You know, unlike your insurance where you're like, maybe you'll get the drugs you need, maybe you won't.
Jimmy Dore
So. That's a great point. Why, why are. You know, when I was in college, they sent me credit card application and I didn't have a job.
Kurt Metzger
Me too. And I racked up as a debt and then I didn't pay it back. You know what they did?
Jimmy Dore
What?
Kurt Metzger
They sent me more, more credit card applications about 10 years later. That's what, that's what happens, by the way.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
Because in college you're not getting. I didn't, I think I had a $6,000 limit. And I was like. But at the time, because I'm an idiot, I'm like, oh, this is so. You know, I guess it hurt my credit score at the time, but I didn't give a shit was I going to own a house? That's not a thing people can do.
Jimmy Dore
And you know, every other Amazon movie is about what happens when somebody rips off a drug dealer. And the only thing more dangerous than that, ripping off a dealer who has your name, address, all your account info and every transaction location.
Kurt Metzger
You know, illicit drug buying. If you compare that to say the vaccine rollout, I would say I had way better experiences with illegal drugs of them being the thing that they claimed it was.
Jimmy Dore
So here, let's, let's listen to some responses to People Honestly, the government would just bail out the credit card companies anyway if we stopped paying our credit card.
Kurt Metzger
Well, they are the government. They got circular ownership.
Jimmy Dore
They are the government. That's the thing. The government again, the bankers. The capital controls the government, not the other. The government does not control the banks.
Kurt Metzger
The west, that's the whole West. The whole of the West. That's so precious.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Kurt Metzger
Oh, what can you happen to the West? It's run by banks. And that's why we have to fight with China someday. Because China is Not run by our banks. And our banks can't have that. They can't abide not being in control of absolutely everything.
Jimmy Dore
The problem for working Americans is wage garnishment and asset liens. If you are ultra poor, this is a fine advice, especially if you own nothing. But if you own or earn just enough to be middle class, you have to play by the rules or risk losing it all.
Kurt Metzger
You mean a millionaire? You're talking about a millionaire because that's what you have to be to be middle class at this point. You have to be a millionaire. Do people understand the inflation, what everybody's clinging to? Middle class. But you ain't middle class just because you haven't had an emergency that totally bankrupts you yet. Millionaire. To be a middle class millionaire, that's like probably lower middle class in the way the pyramid's set up.
Jimmy Dore
Now there is this guy's Tony Bronco says there's nothing brilliant in his words or suggestion and he's correct. Young men and women are being paralyzed by debt to get educated. It's perilous corruption being manufactured by the government on behalf of the banking system and its lords. It's theft again. The government works for the banks. It's the capitalist system we work in that funnels money upward.
Kurt Metzger
It turns out it's just how communism sucked. It turns out these assholes also suck. There turns out not there's one's a good one. At least you got health care in the common.
Jimmy Dore
At least you got health care in commie. You got high speed rail, you got safe streets.
Kurt Metzger
Well, China's not even communist. It's basically our exact system.
Jimmy Dore
They have a government. They have a one party government, Kurt. It is way more responsive to the people in China than our two party system is in the United States. Because our two party system in the United States is zero responsive to the people. Zero.
Kurt Metzger
A lot of money goes into faking that. We have two parties where there's just one. Whereas China, they let you know it's just one.
Jimmy Dore
They let you know it's just one. So there's no blaming any other party. There's no back and forth. Oh, the left is the worst. Oh, the right winger. It's just, it's this. There's just one wing.
Kurt Metzger
And I really like how they shoot their corrupt politicians in the head. They don't give them a, you'd be better off mugging somebody and going to prison in China than you would be in like Hillary Clinton, let's say, yeah, you're going to breaking rocks prison if You're Hillary Clinton and you're a chance.
Jimmy Dore
Or Kevin o'. Leary.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, well, Kevin o' Leary keep his trap shut, and he'd be smart to keep his mouth shut.
Jimmy Dore
In China, there was. I just read this story. In China, there were some billionaires who made baby formula, and they were putting plastic particles in the baby formula to raise the protein content or some weird thing like that. They caught them, prosecuted them, and killed him.
Kurt Metzger
Oh, no. Communism.
Jimmy Dore
You know what? When they do that to us with a vaccine in the United States, they get a blanket pardon.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
They get hundreds of billions of your dollars and. Yeah. Oh, China, Taiwan.
Kurt Metzger
I care about that personally for some reason. What if China's Belt and Road Initiative wins?
Jimmy Dore
If you want. I know.
Kurt Metzger
What a collection. They're all more moral than every jerk off that works in the federal government in both parties. Now that you got rid of Massie, there's no one as good as the Chinese government. In our government, there's no one as moral and ethical and good.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Kurt Metzger
Chinese government in American government.
Jimmy Dore
I don't know if you heard about this, but there was a bio lab that got discovered in Las Vegas.
Kurt Metzger
I remember this.
Jimmy Dore
Spoiler alert. The Israeli guy running it, they just let go.
Kurt Metzger
Good. I was afraid.
Jimmy Dore
Let's watch this.
News Reporter
New court documents allege multiple people became deathly ill after spending time at an illegal bio lab inside a Las Vegas home.
Kurt Metzger
Our investigators identified a significant volume of material, including various vials and storage containers with liquids of different colors and compositions.
News Reporter
According to newly released court records, police were tipped off by a former cleaning employee who told investigators she entered the garage, which was usually locked, and found refrigerator freezers, glass beakers with reddish liquid, and equipment she believed was lab related, along with a foul, stagnant smell. She told police she and Handyman both got deathly ill days later, suffering breathing issues, extreme fatigue, and muscle aches. She allegedly told police others who lived in the home renting rooms off of sites like Airbnb became sick as well. Authorities arrested the property manager, Ori Solomon, who now faces state and federal charges, including improper disposal of hazardous waste tied to biological agents. Investigators say the case may be linked to another illegal bio lab discovered in California, allegedly run by a Chinese national arrested in 2023. That defendant has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial, but so far, officials have not released test results from the seized materials. Now that's been sent to a secure lab in Maryland. Authorities say the investigation is ongoing, and they warn the public there is no known active threat at this time.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, well, that guy was.
Kurt Metzger
Will be forthcoming about what they were making in there.
Jimmy Dore
The guy was Ori Solomon. He's got that kind of calm confidence that seems like he knows they could find little kids in that freezer and he would face no consequences.
Kurt Metzger
Interesting name for a guy that looks like he's from Singapore or something.
Jimmy Dore
Oh. Turns out federal charges have been dropped against Ori Solomon, the mysterious Israeli property manager linked to an illegal biolab found at a short term rental in East Las Vegas. He still faces Clark county criminal charge for the improper disposal of hazardous waste. You know, if he did, if, if, if he would have just had little kids in that freezer, he'd already be home back in the homeland.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So let's watch. Here's a, here's another news report on it.
Fox News Anchor
Federal court. There were no cameras allowed inside, so we're showing you some photos released of Solomon as we walk through exactly what has happened. A federal judge releasing him this afternoon saying he's not considered a flight risk.
Jimmy Dore
They released him.
Kurt Metzger
He's not a flight risk. We know where he's going to Israel
Fox News Anchor
for a danger to the community under current conditions. Prosecutors say Solomon is in the United States on a non immigrant visa, meaning he's not legally allowed to possess firearms. But investigators say multiple guns were found during searches tied to this case. As part of his release, Solomon must surrender any passports and cannot apply for new international travel documents. He's also prohibited from possessing any firearms or weapons and his travel is restricted to the continental United States.
Kurt Metzger
And his initial charge was a charge of disposing and discharging hazardous waste. Solomon is believed to be the property manager for both houses on Sugar Springs Temple View.
Fox News Anchor
And as you just heard there. Police say Solomon is believed to be the property manager for the two home search where investigators reported finding suspected biological materials and lab equipment. At this point, authorities say testing on those materials is still underway and it is not yet clear, of course, exactly what they contain. Solomon is also facing a state hazardous waste charge that we'll be tracking. Investigators say the broader investigation into all of this, this is still ongoing. Reporting in downtown Las Vegas, I'm Elissa.
Kurt Metzger
Oh. They found multiple Israeli and French passports besides the illegal gun. So I wonder, gee, I wonder if we'll ever figure out what country he was working for.
Jimmy Dore
Well, Kurt, it says right here he is consistently described in news reports as a 55 year old Israeli citizen or an Israeli national who was living in the United States on a non immigrant visa. He also holds a French passport, making him a dual Israeli French citizen. In some accounts.
Kurt Metzger
Oh, he manages a lot of short term rentals the way you would if you ran an intelligence front.
Jimmy Dore
I just want to remind you what happened to the last Israeli national who got caught in a pedo scheme in Las Vegas. So an undercover operation targeting child predators in Las Vegas Valley over two weeks resulted in the arrest of eight individuals. And guess who one of them was. It was this guy, Tom Alexandrovich, who is the head of digital security for Netanyahu.
Kurt Metzger
Oh, good. And make those cool AIs.
Jimmy Dore
And guess what they did with them? They let him go.
Kurt Metzger
Mm.
Jimmy Dore
Update regarding the Israeli official who tried to have sex with a child in Vegas, then fled to Israel after meeting with the nsa. The US Attorney general who released him is Israeli born Seagal Chuck Chada. Makes sense now, especially given the fact that Vegas was effectively built by the Adelson gambling empire. The entire city is an Israeli operation. Lol to the guys who think what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in Vegas likely winds up stored in a file in Israel in a godforsaken country of blackmail, murder and child abuse.
Kurt Metzger
Yes, single Chad. I recall Jimmy was that crazy lady with that insane political admission.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, this is her right here. Signal Chadha, the acting US Attorney who enabled the flight of an accused Israeli child. Predator and cyber spy Tom Alexandrovich. She campaigned for Nevada's Attorney General by boasting of her Israeli citizenship and pushing crass hatred of Muslims. Her campaign was called Israeli Born.
Kurt Metzger
Yeah, she tried to blame Rachel Wolfson, this comic, her dad, who had nothing to do with it. Remember when they asked how they tried to try to pin it on him? He literally couldn't have done been the guy released. It was her.
Jimmy Dore
So, anyway, I want to show you. Here's how Fox News covered this. Watch what they don't mention when they cover this. Kurt. Watch this.
Fox News Anchor
We're half past the hour. A possible biological lab inside a Las Vegas home now under investigation.
William LaJeunesse
A federal investigation.
Fox News Anchor
Agencies ing vials of unknown liquids and probing a potential link to a Chinese national accused of running a similar lab
Jimmy Dore
in California that held deadly pathogens. Our senior national correspondent William lajeuness is
Fox News Anchor
reporting live on this out of Los Angeles for us.
Jimmy Dore
Hello, William.
William LaJeunesse
Well, Sandra, two amazing things about this story. One, the man who owns that Vegas lab, he's a Chinese scientist linked to the ccp, is and has been in jail the last three years. Secondly, the lab is not an FDA licensed facility, but it's in a house in Vegas raided Saturday morning by the FBI SWAT pulling out boxes of what police believe.
Jimmy Dore
I'll cut to the chase. They talk about it being a Chinese guy, a guy who's been in prison since 23, not the Israeli national who's running it. They never mentioned the Israeli guy, ever.
Kurt Metzger
Why would Fox ever do a thing like that?
Jimmy Dore
They never mentioned the Israeli guy. I'll play you.
William LaJeunesse
The rest are hazardous biological agents and pathogens normally found in a secure university or industrial lab with airlocks designed to prevent an outbreak almost immediately.
Kurt Metzger
Investigators observed multiple refrigerators, a freezer and other laboratory type equipment, along with numerous bottles and jugs containing unknown liquid substances.
William LaJeunesse
So the Vegas lab, according to police, belongs to 62 year old Ju Baiju, a Chinese national and a fugitive who also goes by the alias David.
Jimmy Dore
He.
William LaJeunesse
He was arrested in 2023 for. For manufacturing unlicensed medical devices and lying about unapproved HIV and pregnancy test kits that he was selling. He also operated this illicit bio lab in an abandoned warehouse in Reedley, California, where investigators found thousands of vials of blood and tissue. 1000 genetically engineered mice designed to carry the COVID virus. And CDC tests did show the vials contained hiv, Covid, hepatitis, herpes and malaria. Police arrested Zhu and he's been in jail ever since. Congressional investigators link the lab to the Chinese Communist Party. A tie that also suggests the same people are behind the Vegas lab.
Kurt Metzger
What do we think?
Jimmy Dore
They never mentioned the Israeli guy who ran it, who got arrested for it. They never mention it. People say they're tired of hearing about forced to vote. It was a water. It was a watershed moment in American politics. Yeah, and that's not to pat myself on the back, but that's to. It was laid bare that voting for a Democrat even no matter how pretend progressive they campaign as is, is as Kashama Sawant says, if you're a progressive, the road for you inside the Democratic Party leads to a graveyard.
Sam Cedar
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
And that is a fact. So this, this voting is not going to work. The only thing that's going to work is what the truckers did in Canada and that has to be replicated here in the United States. Truckers, railroad workers, port workers, UPS driver, grocery store workers. That some that has to happen. And if they. One of them would be enough to do it. But if they, a couple of them came together or all of them and they has to have a demand. So that's the thing that people. So we have these no Kings marches, right? And we had the Women's March after Trump was elected the first time. And you know, millions of people came out across the country. And that was a hundred percent psyop. That was funded by the oligarchs. And the way I know that is because there was no demand attached to it. Zero demand. That was to take the revolutionary energy and the people wanting to redress their government for grievances and funnel it right back into the oligarchy's two parties, which, which is a one party, because there's no demand. And so what if. And when the workers do rise up, if the railroad workers didn't go to work, the port workers or whoever it is the demand needs to be. The first thing it has to be is no money in politics. We have to have public funding for our elections. And the election season has to be six weeks long. It can't be two years long. And that's the first demand. The first demand is no money in politics and it's publicly funded. And then the second one could be term limits. It could be whatever you want. But that, it has to be that demand. And that has to happen. And if that doesn't happen, we're never getting there because we're an empire in decline right now. We still can't. We can't. You know, Mexico is building train lines up the rack. We can't even build a train line. In California we put billions and billions of dollars. And the idea, the fact that I live in a state in California which is 100% Democrat, controlled the House, the Senate, and, and the governor has been Democrat forever. And things keep getting way worse. Homelessness. They spent $25 billion on homelessness, the Democrats. And nobody knows where that money went. And homelessness got worse. There's tents all over the place, street. So what I tell people is that now we're going to be a surveillance state. We are a surveillance state already. Flock cameras, data centers, they got you. The vaccine was surveillance. That's what the vaccine pass card. That was all fact. That was all that was to get you ready. And, and, and so what we're. What we're turning out to be is we're going to be China, a surveillance state, except we're going to have way more street crime, homelessness and slower trains. That's. We don't have anything good. We got nothing good that comes from this kind of fascism. We have all the bad things. I just wanted to, you know, there's so much I want before I let you go. I just wanted to. So this was Ocasio Cortez when she ran, right. When people supported her people, dummies like me. It says Ocasio Cortez ran on a platform of challenging the Democratic establishment, exemplified by her upset victory over incumbent Representative Joe Crowley. She supported progressive challenges in safe blue districts to move the party further left, believing sitting members were not representative enough of their districts. She aligned closely with organizations like the Justice Democrats, aiming to overturn incumbent power structures. In 2026, AOC has become powerful, more central voice in Congress, even considering abandoning the practice of supporting primary challenges against colleagues. And what drove me nuts during Force to Vote, which you were such a strong supporter of, and you were the only person in the mainstream media that came out and supported it in the current affairs magazine, which I'm forever grateful for you for doing that. And you took. You got pilloried for doing that. The point. What was. Now what was my goddamn point? My point was that. That you can't. It was a. It was a revelatory moment. And the dev. And the Republicans actually even put an exclamation point on it, because when they took control of the House, they extracted concession after concession after concession out of McCarthy to the point where he didn't want to become speaker anymore. And, well, he couldn't.
Sam Cedar
He couldn't be Speaker. I mean, he didn't have a choice. Right. That was the whole plan. That was the whole point of Force the Vote. And, you know, people who maybe. Were you, like, genuinely ignorant of how this works or were intentionally obfuscating, lie to the public one way or another, wittingly or unwittingly lied to the public about whether or not doing the Force the vote plan would cause a right wing, would cause a Republican speaker of the House.
Jimmy Dore
That was a lie.
Sam Cedar
That was a lie. Because you have to have an absolute majority, not a bare majority, like more than 50. So Democrats would have had to have voted for a Republican speaker, which obviously was never going to happen, for us to end up with a Republican speaker, just like we didn't end up with Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker when they did this a couple of years ago. When Republicans did this a couple of years ago, just because they wouldn't vote for Kevin McCarthy. Right?
Jimmy Dore
Yep.
Sam Cedar
And you're completely right. Our. And can I just say this? I want to. I want to say this. I would love to let this go if people were willing to acknowledge that they just got that one wrong and move on. Right. But that is not what's happening. The very same people who were so strategically bad, like, deeply ignorant, like, humiliatingly, embarrassingly ignorant in that moment just wouldn't say, you know what? We got that one wrong. Or AOC called me because we know this to be true. Right. Sam Cedar said this. And during our debate, he said something along the lines of like that someone, someone from Congress had called him or from somebody's office had called him and asked him to lay off of this issue. And he had a, you know, he could say, I trusted in politicians more than I should have. I thought they had a plan and they didn't. And I made a mistake. I cornered, I cornered Jamal Bowman about this in an interview on Bad Faith podcast and asked him to reflect on whether or not he thought it was a mistake not to use the leverage the progressives had at the time, especially now that he's been ousted with no protection from his own party by Zionists. And there was still this sort of fundamental unwillingness. His, his justification was people were being mean to Alex. You know, the AOC people were being mean to Alex, and therefore he didn't like it. And look, you can say a lot of things about me, but if my biggest enemy supports me, I'm, I'm with it. We're gonna go for it. You know, there's plenty of stuff that you and I disagree on, but I saw you as a passionate defender of a fighter, fighter for Medicare for all. And we were gonna link up. Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
Yep.
Sam Cedar
And I don't, you know, there's a, you know, I do believe. I don't expect you to agree with me on this. I believe that Tucker Carlson believes in the great replacement theory and is a white supremacist and has been hateful toward Arabs and Muslims for his entire career. And I am not credulous about his change of heart in the last year or so? Am I thrilled, however, that he is busting up the, the, the war hungry MAGA establishment and creating a new path for anti War Republicans 100%. And I will encourage that to whatever extent that I can with my measly little podcast. And the same is true of all of these people who have had disagreements with on the left. I have no interest in yucking your yum. I'm. I think it's wonderful that Hasan Piker can help someone like, what's his name, Bib and in Philadelphia just get elected.
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
Sam Cedar
Or, or, you know, El Sayed. Or else. I had. Exactly. I'm like, amazing, right? I, I have no. Just because we disagree even, even with the, you know, the, the, the contrapoints interview I just did, and the way that she reacted to it after the fact, you know, I wasn't thrilled with that, but I don't have like antipathy toward her. I disagree with her and to the extent that she wants to start believing in things again, I would be thrilled to hear that and fight for things with her. And so I'm very happy to move forward. But I would prefer so that people have accountability and real trust in you and your decision making going forward. If there could at least been a know acknowledgement of how wrong half the left was to trust these establishment left actors as folks that had a quote unquote plan and that were quote unquote keeping their powder keg dry,

Episode: Blackrock CEO Is Taking YOUR MONEY To Fund AI Data Centers!
Date: May 29, 2026
Host: Jimmy Dore
Guests/Regulars: Kurt Metzger, Sam Seder (late in episode), quotes from/segments featuring Larry Fink, Katherine Austin Fitts, Richard Werner, Tucker Carlson, Fox News staff.
This episode centers on Jimmy Dore's critique of BlackRock CEO Larry Fink’s statements about using Americans’ savings and retirement funds to bankroll massive centralized AI data centers. Dore frames this as a forced upward redistribution of wealth under the guise of innovation, national security, and competing with China. The discussion then broadens into a scathing analysis of systemic financial exploitation (credit card debt), the surveillance state, the manipulation of global crises (COVID-19, climate change) for oligarchic control, and the failures of the American political establishment. Dore, with co-host Kurt Metzger, mixes biting sarcasm, skepticism of mainstream narratives, and a populist, anti-elite stance throughout.

Jimmy Dore’s May 29, 2026 episode is a fiery, irreverent critique of financialized capitalism, media propaganda, and elite power. Dore and his guests relentlessly question official narratives, paint the outlook for ordinary Americans as one of increasing dispossession and surveillance, and call for direct, collective action over faith in electoral politics.
“Voting is not going to work. The only thing that's going to work is what the truckers did in Canada. That has to be replicated here … The first demand is no money in politics.” — Jimmy Dore (53:14)
For those seeking a critical, anti-establishment lens on current events, financial machinations, and the failures of mainstream politics, this episode is a thorough, bracing summary.
