The overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in Syria has not led to stability in the war-torn nation. In fact, death squads affiliated with the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) that now rules over much of Syria have been blamed for more than 1,000...

Come see us do stand up in Baltimore, Hartford, Syracuse, Atlantic City, Levittown, N.Y. co host, New York, Providence, Rhode island, and San Jose, California. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for the ticket. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
J.D. Vance
Hey, what's up? It's J.D. vance.
Jimmy Dore
Hey, Mr. Vice President. How you doing? What have you been up to?
J.D. Vance
Oh, not much. Just doing that thing where I make eye contact with people but don't really look at them in a human way, you know, like a wolf. And also, being Vice President of America.
Jimmy Dore
That must keep you busy.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, in a way. You know, like, stuff keeps happening literally every day. I don't. I don't know when the last time I talked to you was, but so much has happened since then, I couldn't even cover it. That's something I was not prepared for. The sheer amount of things that occur, like, constantly.
Jimmy Dore
It must be overwhelming.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, it really is. Like that meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky where me and the President just talked a bunch of shit. Seriously, talk trash. That little fucker. That feels like a year ago. But it was not. But it feels like it, right? And then right after that, we go on a ski trip, me and my family. We got protested by people. That was crazy.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
J.D. Vance
Who protests a vice president? Also, can you imagine Kamala Harris going skiing while she was feet. Skiing is like the most elitist thing you can do. That's all Republicans would even talk about. But I get away with it. We really have just hoodwinked the country. It's kind of crazy.
Jimmy Dore
Did you. Did you have a nice ski trip, though?
J.D. Vance
Oh, yeah, it was real cool. Went up to the Sugar Bush Resort in Vermont. I chose that place because Sugar Bush is a nickname I have for my Indian wife, Usha.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, but.
J.D. Vance
But between you and me, it's just a nickname. That is not in any way an accurate description of that situation at all. By no means.
Jimmy Dore
Okay. I don't need to know this, sir.
J.D. Vance
Usha's vagina is not very good.
Jimmy Dore
All right, okay. God, we need to change the topic, like, immediately.
J.D. Vance
Okay. I guess the main thing was the big State of the Union speech last night. That was pretty cool. The President going up there and, you know, freestyling information. That's the best way I think it.
Jimmy Dore
Is to put it. Yeah.
J.D. Vance
And then people clapping, and then me and Mike Jones standing, or Mike Johnson standing up all the time and clapping. It was pretty cool and fun.
Jimmy Dore
That's great.
J.D. Vance
But that guy, Mike Johnson, the speaker, he's weird, man. First of all that dude has the worst expression on his face of any dude I've ever seen. Atrocious resting face. And all the time, too. Like, there's no other versions. He always looks like he just farted and wants to not be caught, but also is sort of proud of the fart.
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
J.D. Vance
You know what I mean?
Jimmy Dore
Oh, yeah, sure.
J.D. Vance
Also, I guarantee you that guy's gay. He's deep in the closet. Like way back there by the shoes you forgot you had. And I can tell, man, I can always pick these dudes out.
Jimmy Dore
Is that so?
J.D. Vance
Oh, yeah, man. Like, half of these evangelicals are closet. And the more like moral police they are, the more that's the case. Or they're just bigly perverts. Like, they have seriously weird porn on their laptop.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, God. Okay. Yeah, I bet. I see.
J.D. Vance
Yeah. It's the weirdest thing. But they're like the leaders of the right, so, you know, it's this whole thing where, like, I know that's the case, but we don't say anything because, you know, those are the rules. It's confusing for sure. It sounds like it, but everything's going great. The President announced tariffs, then paused them and put them into effect a few days ago, starting a trade war. The markets are going crazy now. We might cancel them again. And in the middle of this, he gives a speech saying, america is back. Now, if that's not leadership, I don't know what is.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, back. Very impressive.
J.D. Vance
He's so cool, man. I want to be him, but sometimes I feel like he doesn't pay enough attention to me. And it's because of that weirdo, Elon Musk is always around. He's so weird. He's always around. His babbling at the president, and not about Doge, but like, ketamine, blood transfusions, to be younger, uploading your brain to a computer. Like, what? I'm like, shut up and get out of here, man.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's gotta be annoying.
J.D. Vance
Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm like, you're not elected. Stop talking to the president. Maybe I want to talk to the president about stuff. I know about stuff, too. And it's not weird. It's like normal cool stuff. Like World War II. I know all about it. Maybe the President wants to hear about that. You ever think about that, Rocket Man?
Jimmy Dore
Right?
J.D. Vance
Anyway, it's a pretty cool job, though. Having a pretty good time.
Jimmy Dore
What are your responsibilities as vice president?
J.D. Vance
Well, remember how I told you I didn't really know and that Trump hadn't said anything about that?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, well, he never did. And honestly, I don't think he ever thought about it. So I've just been feeling it through. So it appears my job is to go on TV and say things that make people mad and then just go skiing up there at the national forest. Oops. I mean, sugar bush.
Jimmy Dore
All right. Sounds like a cush job.
J.D. Vance
Yeah, my family's proud. Thinking about trying to work the R word slur back into the political vocabulary. That would definitely get people angry slash distracted. Can I start that here?
Jimmy Dore
Absolutely not.
J.D. Vance
Oh, well, worth a shot. I guess. I'll call Newsmax anyway. Later, gator.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, this establishment media sucks August lighting. So good luck. We can't afford. Why commenting this? Watch and see as his jack go.
Tulsi Gabbard
Come medium speeds and jumps the medium.
Jimmy Dore
And hits him head on. It's the chimy tour show. Come see us do standup in Baltimore, Hartford, Syracuse, Atlantic City, Levittown, N.Y. co host, New York, Providence, Rhode island, and San Jose, California. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for the tickets. This is happening currently in Syria as predicted for many years, not only by Tulsi Gabbard, but people like you and people like this show, which shows it's not hard to predict. If I can figure it out, that's my. I've always told people I'm a C student, and if I can figure it out, then they. The people who run you do a pretty good job. I appreciate that. So what's happening right now is the jihadist. So the Al Qaeda basically has taken over Syria. And we've said that, that if you get rid of Assad, you know who he's fighting against. He's fighting against Al Qaeda, ISIS and Islamic terrorists. And that's who's going to take over. And that's exactly who's taken over. And now they're massacring thousand Alawites and Christian men and women and children. And I just want to. This is what Tulsi Gabbard had to say. Now here's a senator given it to her, saying that when she speaks the truth about Syria, she was repeating Russian talking points. Let's watch. This is from her confirmation hearing.
Senator
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Colonel Gabbard. When Russia was denying us use of chemical weapons, they accused the US of supporting terrorists. This is a line that Putin used frequently during the Syrian civil war as he supported Assad. Syrian officials made similar comments. They did it repeatedly. They did it in public. They did it at the United nations in 2016. You gave an interview in which you said, and this Is a quote, the U.S. is providing direct and indirect support to terrorist groups in order to overthrow the Syrian government. And in 2019, on the Democratic presidential debate stage, you said of President Trump, this is a quote, this current president is continuing to betray us. We were supposed to be going after Al Qaeda, but over years now, not only have we not gone after Al Qaeda, our president is supporting Al Qaeda. So I'm interested to hear what was your goal in saying these things and did you consider what's your, what's your.
Jimmy Dore
Goal in telling the truth about what's happening there?
Senator
The motives.
Jimmy Dore
Isn't that. That, isn't that what's your goal? What do you. Why would you want to tell.
Kurt Metzger
That's something to tell the truth. What did you mean by that? They can't figure that out in Washington.
Jimmy Dore
What's in it for you to tell the people the truth? Somebody who's actually in the military. Well, here's what she said their motives.
Senator
Might have been before making these claims.
Colonel
Senator, as someone who enlisted in the military specifically because of Al Qaeda's terrorist attack on 911 and committing myself and my life to doing what I could to defeat these terrorists, it was shocking and a betrayal to me and every person who was killed on 9 11, their families and my brothers and sisters in uniform. When as a member of Congress, I learned about President Obama's dual programs that he had begun, really to overthrow the regime of Syria and being willing to, through the CIA's Timber Sycamore Program that has now been made public of working with and arming and equipping Al Qaeda in an effort to overthrow that regime, starting yet another regime change war in the Middle East. The DoD train and equip program, again begun under President Obama, is widely been known, looked at and studied that ultimately resulted in over half a billion dollars being used to train who they called moderate rebels, but were actually fighters working with and aligned with Al Qaeda's affiliate on the ground in Syria, all to move forward with their regime change and not acknowledging what was obvious at the time and what has unfortunately borne true, which was that a regime change war in Syria, much like the regime change wars in Iraq, the toppling of Qaddafi and Mubarak, while these are all dictators, would likely result in the rise of Islamist extremists like Al Qaeda taking power. I shed no tears for the fall of the Assad regime. But today we have an Islamist extremist who is now in charge of Syria, as I said, who danced on the streets to celebrate the 911 attack. Who ruled over Idlib with an Islamist extremist governance and who has already begun to persecute and kill and arrest religious minorities like Christians in Syria. Why that should be acceptable to anyone is beyond me.
Senator
I appreciate your answer, and thank you. My concern has to do with the tendency to repeat Russian and Syrian, and even in some cases, I think we'll get into, in the closed session, Iranian information and to discount what comes from our intelligence community.
Jimmy Dore
Again, he's. So if you tell the truth about what's happening, they'll just say, well, you sound like Russian or you sound like you're Iranian. You sound like our enemies. So telling the truth now, that's what they do. They say you're a traitor. They said this during the Iraq war, which is just amazing to see it be repeated over and over, especially right now as they're slaughtering Christians and Alawites and they're filming it and it's all over social media. I can't show it here, but it's all over the place. I mean, that's just. It's demoralizing to me. And this is exactly how it played out. And American people don't know that Al Qaeda is running Syria. Take it where you want.
Kurt Metzger
I think there are many things to be said about this. First, thank God for Tulsi Gabbard. She is the best. And you saw, she is so impressive. I've known her for a long time. She speaks the truth. She's incredibly intelligent, incredibly straightforward and honest. So this is one shocking piece of good news. I would say that she's head of National Intelligence right now. So that's one good piece. The sad part is, you know, everything she said was exactly right, which is that the overthrow of Assad started with Obama. Timber Sycamore is a CIA operation to overthrow Assad. I know, by the way, very. In a very special way, the war in Syria could have ended in peace 12 years ago, but the US blocked it because their mission was the overthrow of Assad. They weren't interested in peace. It was the overthrow of Assad. Now, it's also important for people to understand it's not that Assad fell and Al Qaeda filled in the vacuum we made Al Qaeda. Please, everyone needs to understand this. This goes back 46 years now, by the way. It goes back to Afghanistan, 1979, actually, to an idea of Zbig Brzezinski. And Zbig Brzezinski's idea was, we will support what was called the Mujahideen, the Islamic fighters in Afghanistan. And that will torment the Soviet Union. It will be a lure to bring the Soviet Union into an invasion of Afghanistan that will become the Soviet Vietnam. That was his concept. We made the Al Qaeda idea. We worked alongside Osama bin Laden. We hired the troops, we trained them, we armed them afterwards. We've used these jihadists again and again. The CIA has used them as its fighters on the ground in these various wars. Another thing people need to understand, these have been Bibi's wars. This is extremist Israeli government policy to which the US has been, and I'm going to use a term advisedly subservient to the Israeli government. This is not America's interest. But it's Bibi. Benjamin Netanyahu who said, with his American neocon buddies, who said seven wars. We need to take out all of Israel's foes. That is Libya, that's Somalia, that's Sudan. That's Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran. Seven he wanted. We've done six. It's left a bloodbath across the region. It's destabilized the Middle East. It has left a massive destruction of our budget, massive debt. How many people dead and wounded, including our own veterans. It's done all of that. And that's been Bibi's wars. And I hope, my God, I hope Trump figures out to have American foreign policy, not Israeli foreign policy, because that is absolutely part of this long, long saga. So none of this is an accident. It's all stupid. It's all horrible. It doesn't work the way they think that. You invade Iraq and suddenly it's an American center of power. You invade Syria and try to overthrow Assad and somehow you get something that is pro Israel or pro the United States or you top a Libya. Every one of these places is in civil war right now. Sudan, we broke Sudan in two again at the behest of this vision of taking out all of Israel's enemies. Broke Sudan in two. Got North Sudan, South Sudan. Each one has a civil war right now. Sudan in the north and South Sudan, each one has a terrible civil war. We've just been a destructive, mindless machine. This war machine that keeps revving. And that's what this is all about. And these senators, shame on them. Shame on them for even the way that they talked to Tulsi Gabbard. Oh, you're repeating Russian propaganda. Oh, and then he said in closed room, even maybe Iranian propaganda. How about the truth, Senator? Come on.
Jimmy Dore
So the jihadists, which include foreign fighters as well as the ruling hts. HTS means that's Al Qaeda. They just rebranded themselves. They're just going into homes of non Sunnis and massacring whole families. That's what they're doing. The terrorists have always haven't. Terrorists haven't been shy about uploading their killings on the Internet as well as live streams. Men, women, children, even babies are being brutally murdered. But instead of calling out the obvious ethno religious genocide unfolding, the European Union had the audacity to issue this statement. The European Union strongly condemns the recent attacks reportedly by pro Assad elements on interim government forces in the coastal areas of Syria and all violence against. So what. So what the European Union is doing is siding with Al Qaeda. They're siding with Al Qaeda in Syria who are now slaughtering, as predicted, Christians, Alawites, anybody non Sunni, and they're videotaping it and uploading it to social media. That's what's happening right now.
Craig Murray
Very IDF of them.
Jimmy Dore
That's very IDF of that. They're doing that in Syria and they're western backed, meaning the United States did this. The guy who's running Syria right now was, up until five seconds ago, we had a $10 million reward for his capture because he ran Al Qaeda. And so. But they don't want you to know Timber Sycamore was the CIA funding Al Qaeda and ISIS and all these Islamic terrorists inside Syria to overthrow Assad. So why? Well, at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu. And they want to put a pipeline there from Qatar, Saudi Arabia. They want to put a pipeline through Syria and Syria is aligned with Russia. Russia wants to have, they want to be selling natural gas. They don't want to have this competition. So again, it comes down to economics. These are all economic wars about fossil fuels. That's what this is all about once again. And now we're in bed with Al Qaeda so we can do the bidding of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu and do the bidding of Qatar and Saudi Arabia and that's what this is all about. And anything you want to add to that, Kurt?
Craig Murray
Yeah, first of all, stop dead naming hts. But you see how they try to bury it, how the language, how wormy it is to bury it. So it's the most bland. We condemn the recent attacks by the pro Assad elements on the interim government forces. Nothing about kids and women and children in there, or civilians, and then not even Al Qaeda. It's hts. Yes, another three letter word like a moniker that is easy to confuse with another one. So they just bury this with their language.
Jimmy Dore
Alone.
Craig Murray
They specially design language to make you not think about ethnic cleansings. They don't want you thinking about.
Jimmy Dore
And here's the. So here's what. That's what the European Union says. And here's the truth. An Eastern Orthodox church priest, he said this. As you see the unfolding tragedy in Syria, keep in mind this is your tax dollars at work. This was brought to you by the United States government, the state of Israel and Turkey. They said Assad was bad. This is what they replaced Assad with. And Danny Haiphong says the overthrow of Bashar Al Assad will go down in its historic tragedy for Syria and the world. A tragedy sponsored by Turkey, Qatar, Israel, the US an axis of empire. A genocide enabled by all those who cheered regime change in Syria. The blood falls at their feet. And he's retweeting this. That says according to Some estimates over 10,000 Alawites and Christians have been slaughtered in Syria.
Craig Murray
Well, Hillary's email said that wouldn't be a bad thing.
Jimmy Dore
And Syrian Christians fear they are next to be targeted on a large scale. Their warnings have largely fallen on deaf ears in the West. The UK has lifted the sanctions on Syria, including the Central Bank. And a landmark move that could be a turning point in Syria's devastated economy. Britain has become the first country to unfreeze all assets of the Central bank of Syria. So they're 100% on board with Islamic fundamental terrorists, Al Qaeda and ISIS. The state. Because we invented them for a reason. Go ahead.
Craig Murray
Wait. Remember, they gave Iran's money back and we have to worry they're going to attack Israel. You're giving it to Al Qaeda.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Craig Murray
What if they go after Israel? They're hardcore Islamist.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, they're not doing that, Kurt. Isn't that weird that they're not? In fact, the state airline and state owned oil companies are amongst other previously sanctioned entities removed from the sanctions list on Thursday afternoon. This approach underscores our commitment to help the people of Syria rebuild their country and economy, including through support for a Syrian led and Syrian owned political transition process. That was. The UK government said we will continue to judge Syria's interim authorities by their actions, not their words. Okay, no you're not. So this has nothing to do with helping the people of Syria. This has to do with Israel. This has to do with Qatar. This has to do with energy transfers. That's what this always has to do with. That's what it's happening. And they're slaughtering people now. Of course they are. And the United States is the responsible for this.
Craig Murray
They already judged their actions in that tepid EU statement.
Jimmy Dore
There's one more Craig Murray so here's the headline from from the Guardian. Entire families reported killed and fighting in northwest Syria. The UN says. He says the Guardian uses its appalling Israeli Israeli propaganda model on Syria. Hundreds of Alawite women and children it says were killed in fighting. No, they were murdered. They were massacred. They weren't killed in fighting. This isn't collateral damage. These are them going into their homes and slaughtering them. That's what this is. Elon Mussory Zari says, I have to admit my previous ignorance. I had no idea what kind of monsters the Assad regime was fighting. Armed, financed and sent in by Turkey, Israel and the Gulf states and the west to destroy Syria. For years I thought it was at least partially a popular rebellion. What's unfolding in Syria in the last couple of days is close to a complete exoneration of Assad. Now we know the horror he and his regime were facing. The horror is what Barack Obama's Operation Timber Sycamore was intended to achieve in Syria. Mission accomplished, I guess. This is what Barack Obama started. This is what Joe Biden continued. This is right now what Trump is allowing to happen.
Craig Murray
Do you think he'll make a Netflix movie about it? Obama?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. And it'll all be a lie. Here's one more. I'll show you Jelani, who is the head al Qaeda guy now they call him hds are now executing Alawites by going door to door. They're being shot in the head. You can hear other executions in the background. This isn't counterterrorism. This is ethnic cleansing. Jelani regime supporters will claim all these publicly executed people were Assad regime remnants. So just so you know what you're in bed with. So if you're a MAGA or you're a Daily Wire viewer, this is what you're in. This is what the United States has invented, created and is facilitating in Syria. And this is what people like Tulsi Gabbard, which is why I supported her when she ran for president, was speak the only person speaking the truth about the only person. And that nitwit, Barry Weiss, that tool of the Zionists and Benjamin Netanyahu called her on Joe Rogan show, an Assadist and horrific and a. What is he called her?
Craig Murray
A Assad toadie.
Jimmy Dore
A toady. An Assad toady. And then she's so bad she doesn't.
Craig Murray
Even know what it means. That's how bad of A word.
Jimmy Dore
It was so bad she didn't even know what the word meant. She was just repeating it. So that's what your country. So I just want to make sure MAGA knows exactly what's happening in Syria, that the United States is in bed with al Qaeda. OK. The people who attacked us on 911.
Craig Murray
Hope all the vets know. I hope people that lost their limbs.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Craig Murray
In a 20 year thing we lost notice that we're now working with Al Qaeda.
Jimmy Dore
I guess it's okay to ethnic cleanse as long as the west backs you. I guess that's it.
Craig Murray
Yeah, well that's obvious. I think that's, it's called the rules based order and that's, that's like the golden rule, right?
Jimmy Dore
I mean radical Islamists are sure are dangerous except when, when the United States backs it, then it's okay.
Craig Murray
Yeah. It's like when the ADL says you're not Nazis anymore, it means you're not Nazis.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

This kind of piggybacks on what we're seeing with Ukraine because they just outlawed Georgescu from running, right? Chaos in Romania's capital after far right Cal and Georgescu barred from the presidential redo. Now he won the first election. They threw the election out because they said it was influenced by Russia, which I've heard something like that somewhere before. And it was completely fabricated. In fact, now we're finding out that those Russian social media influencer videos were funded. There's accusations they were funded by the people inside Romania who want to keep the war going. And I just wanted to show you this. Here is the energy secretary and a member of parliament from Romania. He said all hell, you know. Here's Robert Malone. He says all hell's breaking loose in Romania. The election Commission reviewed all 390,000 signatures in support of Judgesco and having found them all to be valid, decided nonetheless to vote against his candidacy. Ten to four riots have broken out in the streets of Bucharest. And here's the guy. So there's Georgescu and what this is from Daily Romania. And there is no other single politician that would achieve to unite Romanians like he did. That's why they are afraid of him. They know divided we are weak and controllable. So that's what this is. And here is him himself. He said it's a direct blow to the heart of democracy worldwide that he's been banned from the election. I have one, which is basically what they did to Trump. They used the same kind of ideas. They tried to get him off the ballot in many different ways. Russiagate was the first one. The two impeachments was another 92 law. And then the January 6th FBI fueled insurrection, quote, unquote. He said the entire democratic world will fall. This is just the beginning. It's that simple. Europe is now a dictatorship. Romania is under tyranny. And let's remember what J.D. vance he. When he was in Munich, he talked directly to this situation and sounded delighted.
Scott Ritter
That the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election. He warned that if things don't go to plan, the very same thing could happen in Germany, too. Now, these cavalier statements are shocking to American ears. For years, we've been told that everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values. Everything from our Ukraine policies to digital censorship is billed as a defense of democracy. But when we see European courts canceling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others, we ought to ask whether we're holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard.
Jimmy Dore
So, yeah, so here it is. He's calling it out. They're still. They're doubling down on it now. And they're doing this under the guise of we are. We are trying to protect Romania and the European Union from extremism from the right. Well, what could be more extreme than canceling democratically election. Democratic elections, barring opposition, the winner of that election from running again, putting people in jail for protesting Israel, and then literally funding Nazis, legit Nazis in Ukraine. So they're actually the thing they claim to be fighting against. Am I wrong?
Kurt Metzger
Well, there's a basic fact that adds onto this, which is that every European politician that has supported the NATO expansion to Ukraine and the war in Ukraine is incredibly unpopular. We started by listening with Marie Le Pen. Macron has an approval rating of about 20%. Starmer in the UK has an approval rating of around 20%. Scholz, who until this moment is now caretaker Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, just lost with the worst Outcome of the Social Democratic Party in more than a century has an approval rating of about 20%. The Europeans are disgusted with all of this. This isn't popular. Pause. This is a small, elite group of politicians running against common sense, European interest and public opinion, all of them. And so that's why they're canceling this candidate in Romania. He wants to stop the war. And in the neighborhood where he is, you have Robert Fico, who is the prime Minister of Slovakia, you have Viktor Orban, who's been for years, completely right about every word he said about what would happen with the Ukraine war. And Romania wants to express the same thing in public opinion, and they're being blocked to do so. So this is a phenomenon straight across Europe right now. This is an incredibly unpopular war. It's been terrible for the European economy, after all, which had a normal trading relationship with Russia, which the American deep state hated. That's why we blew up the damn pipeline and broke their energy system, broke the German industrial base. And the mainstream politicians continue in this crazy way until this moment, even with Trump giving the exit ramp for all of this. They can't understand to take it.
Jimmy Dore
And so again, who's controlling these people? They're not responsive to their own electorate, to their own citizens. So what is possibly in it for them? I mean, they let them blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, which has tanked the European economy. I mean, Germany, which is the economic engine, has been paying 2, 3, 4 times the price for energy. And they're in what they call a. Well, it's a recession. They call it a contraction. What, again, what is the possible. Is there a small cabal of people at the WF controlling all of Europe or something?
Kurt Metzger
I don't know. One of my beautiful young granddaughters just said, well, Grandpa, maybe it's that they don't want to admit that they were wrong. So we were. We were having a discussion about this. You know, the politicians do not know how to fold a losing hand because they don't know the fallacy of sunk cost, which means if you've lost, you get out of the game. They don't understand that because they'd have to admit that the last three years was a debacle, a hideous set of errors. Why is Zelensky, who's supposed to represent, quote, the interests of the Ukrainian people, why is he dragging people out of cars, sending them to the front lines to die, when a clear majority of Ukrainians want the war to end, even with territorial concessions? They say that in the opinion polls that we're seeing in recent weeks. But Zelensky rules by martial law, won't admit it, and probably because as an individual he has a lot of responsibility in this. Of course, Biden has much greater responsibility because when Zelenskyy was ready to talk peace with the Russians in April 2022, it was Biden and Boris Johnson that said, no, no, no, don't do that. We have your back. And that's what has led to an extra 1 million casualties of the Ukrainians dead and seriously wounded since then.
Jimmy Dore
So Scott Ritter says that we should sanction Romania, target the government courts and the intelligence services. No mercy. We claim to defenders of democracy. Then let us defend democracy. Either Georgescu is allowed to participate in his election or the Romanian government is overthrown. Do the right thing.
Kurt Metzger
I don't agree with that. Okay, basically, I don't want us to overthrow any governments. I don't want us to be involved in Romanian internal politics. I want us to stop the war on our side. I want us to give our best suggestion to the Europeans. Stop fighting. The truth is, by the way, when the United States stops fighting, the Europeans can't continue the war anyway. This is just a simple mechanics of funds and ammunition and targeting and missiles. I don't want the United States overthrowing any more governments, frankly. I don't want us determining or saving or dissing or dumping anyone's democracy. I just want us to stop this behavior. We've led to too many wars, too many overthrows, too many regime change operations. So with all due respect to Scott Ritter, it's a tragedy, we can say so. But I don't want us to do more than that.
Jimmy Dore
How do you see it? I mean, are you good at predictions? How do you see this ending up?
Kurt Metzger
I think the war is about to end in Ukraine because if Trump doesn't get dissuaded by our own deep state, if he stays as resolute as he has been in recent weeks, if Marco Rubio, Mike Waltz and others stay as clear as they have been, the war is about to end. It cannot continue without US support. So that's the first point. I hope, by the way, frankly, to change the subject a little bit, that he could see the same thing in the Middle East. We should not be fighting Netanyahu's wars, period. That man has gotten the United States into more wars than anybody else as far as I'm concerned. And we don't need wars with Iran. We don't need wars with China. We don't need to support Israel's wars. We need to stop this. We've got enough issues to deal with of our own. And Trump is right on Ukraine, and I want him to be as right on the other regions as well.
Jimmy Dore
This is the Minister of Energy of Romania. He's the former Minister of Digitalization, and he's a Member of Parliament. He tweeted this out. Stop the terrible disinformation regarding Romania. Yes, it is democratic to ban an anti Semite extremist funded by the Russians from running for president. It is democratic to cancel elections that were hijacked by the Kremlin. It would be both stupid and undemocratic not to. This is a journalist from the Heralds. He says none of that is true, not one bit of it. Georgescu campaign on a platform of neutrality. Only pro war candidates can be allowed to stand. So Judgescu is against. He's for ending the Ukraine war.
Craig Murray
Oh, that's why he's far right, because.
Jimmy Dore
He doesn't want war. So now they call, and so he gets 2,400 likes on that. This guy comes back and says one word for you. Bull. And of course he gets ratioed on it.
Craig Murray
So he can't live that close to Ukraine and not know how many fucking Nazis they have. That's not possible.
Jimmy Dore
And here's what I said. I said, this is the end of democracy in Romania, and it's being supported by the eu, which is turning into a totalitarian state. Wholesale censorship and jailing people for speech. Now they're overthrowing democratically elected governments and criminalizing opposition politicians. This is the tyranny that J.D. vance was speaking against in Munich. Why do I have a feeling that the same people who were behind the blowing up of the Nord Stream pipeline are the same people behind this?
Craig Murray
Because Russia did this too.
Jimmy Dore
So, friend of the show, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was right about COVID he was one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, which said you shouldn't mandate vaccines or lockdowns or masks and that you should just target people who are old and have lots of cool morbidities and you should try to protect them and let everybody else do what they want. He was right about that. He was defamed. He was smeared by people like Fauci and the corporate press. And now he's being appointed to the head of the nih, which the guy who used to run it was a guy named Francis Collins, who's a criminal. So Dr. J. Bhattachara held nothing back in his Senate confirmation hearing. So let's hear what he had to.
Tulsi Gabbard
Say ready Post pandemic American biomedical sciences are at a Crossroads. A November 2024 Pew study reported that only 26% of the American public had a great deal of confidence in scientists to act in the public's best interest.
Jimmy Dore
Was. Did he say 22%? Play it again. Was that the number?
Tulsi Gabbard
The American public had a great deal of confidence. Reported that only 26% of the public had a great deal of confidence in scientists to act in the public's best interests.
Jimmy Dore
So that's three out of four Americans have no confidence in scientists to act in the public interest. Three out of four. Hey, well done Covid, well done Foushee, well done Rachel Maddow, well done Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon and Chris Hayes, well done.
Tulsi Gabbard
23% have not much or no confidence at all. So how can I help the NIH better achieve its mission? I have five concrete goals if confirmed as director of the nih. First, NIH research should focus on research that solves the American chronic disease crisis. American health is going backwards. Life expectancy flatlined between 2012 and 2019, plummeted during the pandemic, and still has not bounced back to pre pandemic levels. The chronic disease crisis is severe with hundreds of millions of Americans, children and adults, suffering from obesity, heart disease, cancer and more. If confirmed, I will carry out President Trump and Secretary Kennedy's agenda of committing the NIH to address the dire chronic health needs of the country with gold standard science and innovation. Second, NIH supported science should be replicable, reproducible and generalizable. Unfortunately, much modern biomedical science fails this basic test. The NIH itself just last year faced a research integrity scandal involving research on Alzheimer's disease that throws into question hundreds of research papers. If the data generated by scientists is not reliable, the products of such science cannot help anyone. It is no stretch to think that the slow progress of Alzheimer's disease is linked to this problem. The NIH can and must solve the crisis of scientific data reliability under my leadership. If confirmed, it will do so. Third, if confirmed, I will establish a culture of respect for free speech in science and scientific dissent at the nih. Over the last few years, top NIH officials oversaw a culture of COVID up, obfuscation and a lack of tolerance for for ideas that different from theirs.
Jimmy Dore
Isn't this refreshing to hear a guy who's actually hey, we should be doing real science. We shouldn't be corrupted. We shouldn't suppress other scientists who disagree with what we say. Is this refreshing? This is the guy because the people who were in there before were criminals and lied to you at the behest of Big Pharma. The agency that's supposed to be protecting your health was wrecking your health.
Tulsi Gabbard
Dissent is the very essence of science. I'll foster a culture where NIH leadership will actively encourage different perspectives and create an environment where scientists, including early career scientists and scientists that disagree with me, can express disagreement respectfully.
Jimmy Dore
Fourth, isn't that refreshing to hear a guy who's going to be in charge of the National Institute of Health, the nih, is going to encourage dissent because that's how science works. Not shut up and don't do your own research. That's the opposite of how science works.
Craig Murray
I mean, really, that's the bare minimum you should get from the guy getting the job. That's just be a basic thing. They all think this is like so thrilled. We're just getting our stuff we've been.
Jimmy Dore
Supposed to have, but now it's. It's revel. It's. It's so corrupt. Kurt, this is now revolutionary to hear a guy say this.
Craig Murray
I know. I'm waiting for him to say, like, you know, anti Semitism is the biggest health threat. Like RFK did Israel crap.
Jimmy Dore
Well, somehow they got to rfk, but they haven't gotten to Bhattacharya yet. If we see pictures of him summoning a falcon to his forearm, we'll know they got to him.
Tulsi Gabbard
Must recommit to its mission to fund the most innovative biomedical research agenda possible to improve American health. My plan is to ensure that the NIH invests in cutting edge research in every field and make big advances rather than just small incremental progress over years. Fifth, the NIH must embrace and vigorously regulate risky research that has the possibility of causing a pandemic.
Jimmy Dore
Must.
Tulsi Gabbard
Must regulate risky research that has the possibility of causing a pandemic. It should embrace transparency in all its operations. While the vast majority of biomedical research poses no risk of harm to research subjects or the public, the NIH must ensure that it never supports work that might cause harm if confirmed. I will work with Congress and the administration to guarantee that happens.
Jimmy Dore
So it sounds like it's going to stop gain of function research that causes pandemics. That's what that sounds like. That's what I heard. What did you hear?
Craig Murray
Sounds like they're going to have to move it somewhere else and hire someone to hire someone because that is valuable research and if history has taught us anything is we are never going to stop doing that.
Tulsi Gabbard
While I believe there are real problems to be addressed. I want to finish by reiterating my great respect for the work and mission of the nih. If confirmed, I'll carry out President Trump's agenda of making public science institutions of this country worthy of trust and serve to make America healthy again.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, well, all I can tell him is that he'd better put his money out, pull his money out of PayPal and Venmo, because they're going to debank him. He goes on to say, let's hear he's got more to say.
Tulsi Gabbard
You can't have trust unless you are transparent. And as if I'm confirmed as NIH structure, I fully commit to making sure that the American people can see all of the activities the NIH openly with limited sort of obfuscation, which is characterized, I think, unfortunately, the NIH's way that they interacted with American people.
Jimmy Dore
And I think that starts with being good to hear, good to hear. Here he goes. He keeps going.
Tulsi Gabbard
And I want to work with Congress to make sure that there's appropriate regulation of any risky research the NIH to have. I don't think should be doing any research that has the potential to cause a pandemic. And I want to work with Congress to make sure that happens.
Jimmy Dore
As far as working with Congress to help keep us safe is like hiring an otter to guard your fish tank. I want you to, I want you to subvert Congress. Anyway, here we go.
Tulsi Gabbard
I think the key thing is we have to be utterly open as we're. If I'm confirmed, I'll be the head of an organization that's a scientific organization. As a citizen, I would often look for FOIA responses from the NIH Freedom of Information act requests, and they'd be fully redacted during the pandemic. You can't have trust unless you are transparent. And if I'm confirmed as NIH director, I fully commit to making sure that the American people can see all of the activities of the NIH openly with limited sort of obfuscation, which is characterized. I think, unfortunately, the NIH's way that they interacted with, with, with American people.
Jimmy Dore
You know, sounds like a right wing extremists. That's what that sounds like.
Craig Murray
Yeah. Why would there be anything redacted on a FOIA request about a thing that I had to take that they mandated that I have to take? Why would they have a right to redact any part of that if it's not for the purposes of, I don't know, a bioweapon?
Jimmy Dore
So he has, he goes on to talk about free speech and that he was a victim of censorship himself. So this guy's sensitive to it. Here we go.
Tulsi Gabbard
I think Florida's response, the pandemic was tremendous success. But I'm really glad you highlighted the role of, of, of censorship and restriction of scientific discussion. It was so refreshing to me to be allowed to speak my, My scientific views in Florida during the pandemic. I think the root problem, it's a pandemic is a very difficult thing. So many people are going to have different ideas in an environment of uncertainty. The root problem was that people who had alternative ideas were suppressed. I personally was subject to censorship by the actions of the Biden administration during the pandemic. Science, to succeed, needs free speech. It needs an environment where there's tolerance for dissent. And the reason I think why Florida did so well was that it provided an outlet for that dissent so that the. So that the government of Florida, the state of Florida could adopt the best ideas for its. You know, it's not that no mistakes were ever made. That's. You can't say that of any state in a pandemic. But in order to do well, you have to allow people to speak with each other openly, even when the ideas are controversial.
Jimmy Dore
I like this guy. I don't know about you.
Craig Murray
How's he going to get in?
Jimmy Dore
How is that guy going to get in? Here we go. What, what? He's asked point blank, are there any vaccines you don't like? Here we go. In terms of a few other things, are there any vaccines out there that you are concerned about in terms of.
Tulsi Gabbard
Safety, Senator, I was concerned about the COVID vaccines for young men causing myocarditis in 2021.
Jimmy Dore
And there goes his YouTube channel. No chance of a YouTube channel now. Jay, you just screwed yourself. HE SLAMS Here he is slamming the totalitarian approach to science during the pandemic. Let's. Let's watch.
Tulsi Gabbard
Proper role of scientists in a pandemic is to answer basic questions that policymakers have about what the right policy should be. Our role isn't to make decisions. To say you shouldn't be saying goodbye to your grandfather as he's dying in a hospital. It shouldn't be to say you can't have a funeral because it's too dangerous. You should.
Jimmy Dore
You should.
Tulsi Gabbard
The scientists should say, here's what the risks are. And then you decide what the risk, whether you take it. The role of the scientist shouldn't be to say you can't send your kids to school for two years, that you can't you should close hospitals so that they can't treat heart attack patients. That you should not. The role of scientists should be to address those problems by giving good data and then let people make the. Science should be an engine for freedom, knowledge and freedom. Not, not something where it stands on top of society and says, you must do this, this, and this. Or else it shouldn't be pushing mandates for vaccines that have been like the COVID vaccines that were tested for a relatively short period of time. I took the COVID vaccine myself. But I think that the mandates that many scientists push have led to the lack of confidence that so many of the public has in science. If science is a force for freedom and for knowledge, it will have universal support. That's what the role of science is.
Jimmy Dore
Music to my ears. And as Kurt says, this is the bare minimum that you should expect, that we should. But again, we have a completely corrupted regulatory agencies, the nih, the cdc, the fda. Completely corrupted. And that's why we just lived through fascism for the last four, for about four or five years there.
Craig Murray
Yeah, well, fascism is about tying stuff together, right? So you tie the banks to pharma, to the military, to the government. You tie everything together so everybody makes their money on it. And then you defeats the entire purpose of the original thing other only to prop up the state now.
Jimmy Dore
So I, I, I haven't heard anything saying that he's not going to be confirmed. So that would be amazing if he got confirmed. Who's the FDA person that he's nominating? Does anybody know? So we got Bobby Kennedy at hhs and somebody's got a figurative gun to his head. They got some blackmail on him because he's, he's, he's, he's. But I'm gonna give him some time, see what happens. He's out there tweeting about anti Semitism again. So Epstein really did a good number. They got him. We'll see what happens. Three chairs for Jay Bhattacharya. And who's Trump's nominee for FDA? Oh, Dr. Marty McCarthy. It is. That's who it is. It actually is that guy. I was wrong. Correct? Correct me. I retract what I said. It is Dr. Marty McCari. He's great. He was great on Covid, actually. He's a John Hopkins surgeon who is poised to become the next commissioner. Yes. And it's all about restoring trust. Trust. Okay. Of course. NPR's whole article about Dr. Marty McCurry is about restrictions on the abortion pill. That's the only thing they give a shit About. That's it. Hey, guess what? Canada's got a new Prime Minister. Eh?
Craig Murray
Oh, that guy got in. Thank God.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Oh, this the bank guy. He's, he's the guy straight from the banks.
Craig Murray
Yeah, from the British bank. So England is taking Canada over again. Yes, because they've lost us because of we're not helping Ukraine. So now they're taking Canada back.
Jimmy Dore
By the way, just take a look at him. Doesn't he look like AI was asked to come up with a standard politician? Oh yeah, they got rid of. Yeah, they got rid of the inflatable sextile prime minister and now they're going with reliable car salesman.
Craig Murray
Well, because it looks so generic. Liberal. You went to a liberal store to buy a liberal. Liberal brand Liberal.
Jimmy Dore
So this is from the ap. Canada facing nation defining moment. Carney is credited with keeping money flowing through the Canadian economy during the financial crisis by acting quickly and cutting interest rates to their lowest level ever of 1%. Working with bankers to sustain lending through the crisis and critically letting the public know rates would remain low so they would keep borrowing. He has the first set. He was the first central banker. That's who their prime minister is now, a central banker to commit to keep an historic low for an indefinite time. Okay. Also a former Goldman Sachs. He's a former Goldman Sachs executive. He worked for 13 years in London, Tokyo, New York and Toronto before being appointed Deputy Governor of the bank of Canada in 2003. In 2020 he began serving as the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action and Biden.
Craig Murray
Hardcore, hardcore dark occultist.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. So look at this headline. Mark Carney failed to stop Brexit but hopes to save Canada from populism.
Craig Murray
Yeah, that's not the worst.
Jimmy Dore
He's not going to save Canada from, I don't know, illegal immigration or inflation. He's going to save Canada from listening to the voice of its own people. That's what populism is.
Craig Murray
Isn't that a slur that oligarchs came up with for democracy itself? It's like what?
Jimmy Dore
Populism?
Craig Murray
Yeah, the paper scats and that guy's book, Listen Liberal, he wrote about that. They invented the term populism, the paper as like a dirty word.
Jimmy Dore
So now they're, so now they're saying he's going to try and save Canada from listening to the will of its own people. I mean they might as well be America at this point. Just sign the, sign the paperwork, get it over with.
Craig Murray
America would never give you like welfare to commit suicide. That would be up to you.
Jimmy Dore
That's right, yeah.
Craig Murray
They would give you suicide.
Jimmy Dore
So Viva Frey tweets out, you want to know who he is? He's a Bilderberg guy.
Craig Murray
Oh, well, that's ominous.
Jimmy Dore
He is unelected, by the way. He's unelected nobody. He wasn't even a Member of Parliament, I don't think.
Craig Murray
Well, Bilderberg elected him, obviously.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. Has unelected WEF. Davos speaking. Bilderberg frequently, three passport carrying globalists. Mark Carney pledged to immediately call a national election. Or does he plan on exploiting his appointment to rule a country of 38 million people based on the votes of 152,000 registered liberals? And there he is, Mark Carney.
Craig Murray
Is that a real question? It's not.
Jimmy Dore
He's at the Bilderberg meetings. There he is.
Craig Murray
What do you think that they said? The Bilderberg meeting. Viva Fry. Hey, you know what? Why don't you represent your people in Canada? I'm sure that was the notes of the meeting.
Jimmy Dore
And here is Klaus Schwab admitting that they have control of the cabinets in Canada. Watch this. What we are very proud of now.
Kurt Metzger
Is the young generation, like younger generation.
Jimmy Dore
Prime Minister Trudeau, President of Argentina and so on, said we penetrate the cabinets. So yesterday I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I would.
Kurt Metzger
Know that half of this cabinet, or.
Jimmy Dore
Even more half of this cabinet for our actually young global leaders of the World Economic Forum. So that was half the cabinet of Justin Trudeau, Half he's bragging, came from the wef. Here's what Ian Carroll has to say about the new Prime Minister of Canada. Here's what he has to say when.
Ian Carroll
You look at his overview. I mean, you start out with a pretty classic banker's career, which, remember, we're not hiring to be a banker, we're hiring to be the leader of Canada, ostensibly. So it's an interesting choice and it's not a surprising one that they choose a banker first off. But then when you look through his banking resume, it goes from like the typical Oxford University to Goldman Sachs to Bank of Canada, and that's all, you know, relatively expected. And then the Governor of the bank of England jumps out at you as a distinct departure from that Canadian kind.
Jimmy Dore
Of North American Governor of the bank of England.
Craig Murray
I said England took over Canada.
Jimmy Dore
Yep. There's this. More.
Ian Carroll
When I see the Governor of Bank of England, I start to have questions. You mentioned earlier several of these globalist organizations, WF and the Bilderberg Group, being a little bit deeper down in this. In this document. And G7, too. Yeah. And so that. That starts to get me really thinking about what exactly is going on up in Canada and how is Trump going to deal with this.
Colonel
Tell me a little bit about what.
Jimmy Dore
You know about the bank of England.
Ian Carroll
And the International bank of Settlements. So a lot of what I know specifically about the bank of England is based on their sort of founding history, their history through the 1800s. 1900s. And the thing about the International bank of Settlements, there's sort of this trifecta going on. And anyone who's read Confession of an Economic Hitman will be familiar with the system to a certain extent. That was written by John Perkins, who was a famous CIA operative that is now basically a whistleblower on how this financial cartel works on the global scale, where it's been put in place slowly over time. And the details are extremely complex. But between the International Monetary Fund, the World bank, and the International bank of Settlements, those three organizations function in sort of different aspects of a global financial cartel. And what John Perkins describes in his book is how those banking establishments, first, they serve to attempt to control foreign nations through offering loans that they'll never be able to repay back. And they'll promise things like, we'll develop your freeway systems, we'll develop hydroelectric dams, we'll do all these amazing development projects and modernize your country. And this has been done over and over and over, from Mexico to Africa.
Senator
North Korea, we did administration.
Ian Carroll
Exactly. And so you get these countries hooked on loans that they can't repay with promises of grandeur and modernization. And once they're hooked on those loans, then you own them financially. But what John Perkins describes is that sometimes countries will resist because they'll understand the financial nature of what they're being offered as being actually quite predatory. And for anyone that doesn't take those. Those sort of financial incentives to come under the fold, that's when they start to send smear, campaign, slander. They start to infiltrate people. And if that doesn't work, then they send what John Perkins describes as the jackals, which are assassins, usually CIA or some other Saddam or Gaddafi. Exactly. John Perkins specifically talks about his work in Central America. But Gaddafi and Saddam are great examples, and there are many around the world. And that book, I highly recommend it to anyone who has not read it. And so I'm not trying to say that Mark Carney is directly involved in some plot to assassinate foreign leaders. That's not what I'm trying to say. What I'm saying is that there's A distinct departure from a classic Canadian banker's career path. And Oxford stands out to me in that path is if he's first off, he graduated From Harvard in 1988, I see, with a bachelor's degree and high honors. And this is a frequent pattern you see amongst these globalist sort of golden boys is that they'll get an Ivy League education in the States and then if they're bound for this globalist track, they'll often go over to a Princeton or an Oxford or one of these other, other international Ivy Leaguers and that starts to associate them with the international scene and with this bank of England scene. So once you notice the Oxford University on his resume, it's not as surprising that he then gets involved as the governor of the bank of England. But it is a very clear trend that this guy might not be all that he seems to be. When I see that, I think it's time to dig.
Craig Murray
What's that thing in India where. England. There was an Indian government that England installed called the Raj. I want to call, I want to say that's what Canada is now. They're installed, you know, because they lost America, they're panicking about Ukraine, they're going to install their own controlled puppet state in Canada. And that's what that guy is. He's a, he's a global.
Jimmy Dore
Yes, you know.
Craig Murray
Yeah, there you go.
Jimmy Dore
So now Canada is a puppet of the international banking cartel, the WF Davos, the Bilderbergs. That's what this is, that's what's happening in Canada.
Craig Murray
You know when Bilderberg, when it became like known that it was indeed a thing because it was a conspiracy theory.
Jimmy Dore
They used to say it was a crazy conspiracy theory.
Craig Murray
Yeah, that's a 96 or 7. It came out in the Toronto sun or some major Canadian newspaper. The meeting, you know what the order, the notes were on the meeting of Bilderberg. They're planning to break up Canada. You know how they talk about it now? Like the US getting put. That's what they were secretly talking about in 1997. That leaked out, breaking up Canada. And then it got screwed up by journalists doing their job. Journalists did their job and reported this thing was taking place. Imagine that.
Jimmy Dore
The AP goes on to say either Carney will call an election in the coming days or weeks or the opposition parties in Parliament could force one. With a no confidence vote later this month, Trudeau urged Liberal supporters to get involved. This is a nation defining moment. Democracy is not a given. Yeah, it's thanks to people taking away.
Craig Murray
Is what it is.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Thanks to people like Justin Trudeau. Freedom's not a given, but it is a taken.
Craig Murray
There's more of a taken up here.
Jimmy Dore
Freedom is not a given. Even Canada is not a given. Trudeau say, yeah, it's a given.
Craig Murray
Away.
Jimmy Dore
You're talking about his freedom being taken away. It's only because he just lost his freedom to take away everybody else's freedom.
Craig Murray
Yeah, well, it's like when the Darth Vader is like, the emperor is not as forgiving as I beat the emperor. Guys, that's your new one.
Jimmy Dore
Yep. I mean, Justin Trudeau, it was just as shady, slimy, and corrupt as this new guy. But it's just so much more obvious now that they're just installing this guy who's the former governor of London Bank. The bank of England.
Craig Murray
Yeah. This is a guy that can hold his coke, unlike Justin.

Summary of "CIA-Backed Jihadist Death Squads Terrorizing Syria! w/ Jeffrey Sachs" – The Jimmy Dore Show
Release Date: March 13, 2025
In this episode of The Jimmy Dore Show, host Jimmy Dore delves into the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Syria, critiquing U.S. foreign policy and its unintended consequences. The conversation features a dynamic exchange between Jimmy Dore and guest J.D. Vance, along with insights from Tulsi Gabbard and commentary from various commentators like Craig Murray and Kurt Metzger. The discussion is punctuated with critical analysis of Western involvement in Syria, the rise of jihadist groups, and the broader implications for democracy and global stability.
The episode begins with an elaborate advertisement for Jimmy Dore's upcoming stand-up shows across various U.S. cities. Shortly after, Jimmy engages in a candid and humorous conversation with J.D. Vance, the Vice President of America.
J.D. Vance discusses the overwhelming nature of his role:
“The sheer amount of things that occur, like, constantly.” [00:57]
Critique of Kamala Harris’s elite activities:
“Skiing is like the most elitist thing you can do. That's all Republicans would even talk about.” [01:25]
Vance’s disdain for political figures and policies:
“Also, I guarantee you that guy's gay. He's deep in the closet.” [03:19]
“We really have just hoodwinked the country.” [05:22]
Jimmy and Vance humorously discuss the challenges of political life, with Vance expressing frustration over media portrayal and political dynamics, including commentary on the State of the Union speech and the influence of figures like Elon Musk.
Jimmy transitions to a critical analysis of U.S. involvement in Syria, emphasizing the unintended rise of jihadist groups due to foreign intervention.
Jimmy highlights the rebranding of Al Qaeda as HTS:
“Jihadists, which include foreign fighters as well as the ruling HTS. HTS means that’s Al Qaeda. They just rebranded themselves.” [16:11]
Criticism of European Union’s stance on Syria:
“The European Union strongly condemns the recent attacks reportedly by pro Assad elements...” [07:19]
Discussion on Operation Timber Sycamore:
“Why is that being acceptable? It sounds like it, but everything's going great.” [04:25]
Craig Murray’s input on language used to describe conflicts:
“They try to bury it, how the language, how wormy it is to bury it.” [19:02]
Jimmy argues that U.S. and European policies have facilitated ethnic cleansing and genocide in Syria by supporting extremist groups under the guise of counterterrorism. He references confirmation hearings of Tulsi Gabbard to underscore the perpetuation of misleading narratives about U.S. involvement.
The episode features a segment on Tulsi Gabbard’s confirmation hearing, where she discusses the state of American biomedical sciences post-pandemic.
Gabbard emphasizes the need for transparency and free speech in science:
“Dissent is the very essence of science. I'll foster a culture where NIH leadership will actively encourage different perspectives.” [40:59]
Jimmy lauds Gabbard’s stance on scientific integrity:
“Isn’t this refreshing to hear a guy who’s actually….” [40:20]
Gabbard outlines her five concrete goals for the NIH, focusing on combating chronic diseases, ensuring research reliability, promoting scientific dissent, embracing innovative research, and regulating risky research to prevent future pandemics. Jimmy praises her commitment to restoring trust in scientific institutions.
The discussion shifts to the political instability in Romania and its implications for democracy in Europe.
Jimmy criticizes the European Union’s stance on Syrian conflicts:
“It's very IDF of them. They're doing that in Syria and they're western backed, meaning the United States did this.” [17:20]
Kurt Metzger and Craig Murray analyze Romania’s annulled election:
“Mark Carney pledged to immediately call a national election.” [51:01]
