Nick Cruz (1:22)

Establishment media sucks. August light and so good luck Bullshit we can't afford why commenting this? Watch and see Jack off the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hit some head on. It's the chimney door show.

James Corbett (1:41)

Okay, I'm here with James Corbett and from the Corbett Report who's back on YouTube. Congratulations. I wanted to show you this. This is from Grok20. 29% of Americans are considered low income. That's according to the U.S. censure bureau. And the that that's 98 million Americans. 29% of the population. 98 million Americans are considered low income. And what I've said for years is what do you call a system that takes the richest country in the world and renders 100 million of its population low income. You call that a failed system? That's what I would call that. And then 70% of the people working live paycheck to paycheck and half the people in the country can't aff to $500, emergency. What do you call that? You call that a failed system? Those are not individuals failing. That's your, that's your system, your country en masse failing. And just one more before I get to the video highlights. So the CEO to worker pay ratio, it rose from 40. So it used to be a worker made a dollar and the CEO made 42. That was back in 1980. Well now as of 2021, the worker makes a dollar, the CEO makes $351. So why do I bring all this up? Well, because they were talking about this on CNBC and they were talking about a chance for a civil war over this. So now normally they talk about things being left. Right. Let's watch. Here we go. Where the civil war will probably prevent more millionaires from. So he just said the civil war will probably prevent more billionaires from happening. And they're upset because more billionaires means a healthy economy. That is not what it means. It means a worsening economy and a bigger income inequality and rich and poor and the middle class being squeezed out. That's what more billionaires means. But they're upset about this and they say their civil war is coming. What's the civil war will probably prevent more trillionaires from happening?

Director Patel (3:55)

Probably.

James Corbett (3:56)

We're hearing about that more and more. I think Dalio's spouting that prophecy.

Guest Commentator (4:00)

Civil war is coming.

James Corbett (4:01)

Just the class struggle because of not between the north and south or the residents of the states.

Guest Commentator (4:07)

Yeah, exactly.

James Corbett (4:08)

Like let emit take guillotine Gotham type stuff. Mamdani. So there it is. So that normally on cable news they only talk about left, right? Well, right there they talked about what James Corbett talks about in this book, Up Down. So they're talking about it's not left versus right, it's up down. It's the masses against the oligarchs, the billionaire class that actually run everything. And that's going to be the civil war. They just said it. And this comes from Ray Dalio, famous billionaire guy. He sounds the alarm over a looming civil in the United States. Our power to hurt each other has never been greater. It's been more than 160 years since America's last civil war. But billionaire Ray Dalio is warning that another one may be brewing. In recent interview on Leaders with France, Dalio was confronted with a blunt question. Could we be close to another civil war? He didn't hesitate. We are in wars. There is a financial money war, there's a technology war, there's a geopolitical wars and there's more military wars. Then came his more unsettling assessment. The United States itself isn't immune. We have a civil war of some sort which is developing in the United States and elsewhere where there are irreconcilable differences. He outlined two paths that the country could take. The first, more hopeful scenario is one in which Americans rise above it and realize that our common good is going to necessitate us dealing with it so that what works for most people is going to work. But as he admitted, that may be a little bit idealistic. The second is far bleaker and more likely. I think that these conditions will become tests of power by each side. It's a stark warning, especially from someone who also cautioned earlier in the interview that our power to hurt each other has never been greater. This isn't the first time he's sounded the alarm about America's internal fractures. In a recent Twitter post, he said, from studying 50 year plus civil wars and revolutions, it became clear that the single most reliable leading indicator indicator of civil war or revolution is bankrupt government finances combined with big wealth gaps. And the US is edging dangerously close to that description. I would say it's not edging. I would say we've been there for a long time. The US debt has climbed to 37 trillion with the debt to GDP ratio of 125%. That's up 100% from a decade ago. He's warned that when debt rises relative to income, it's like a plague in the plaque in the arteries, eventually choking off spending. Meanwhile, wealth inequality has ballooned. The wealthiest 1% of America's now hold 31% of the nation's net worth, up from 22.8% in 1989. By contrast, the bottom 50% watched their share shrink from 3.5% to just 2.5% over the same period. Those widening gaps combined with rising fiscal strain are precisely the kind of warning signs Dalio says often precede civil wars and revolutions. If his warning has you on edge and wondering how to protect your wealth in turbulent times, it may be worth considering assets that can help weather a crisis. That's why I say call my friends at Monetary Gold. James, what do you say to this? First of all, it's surprising to see CNBC talk about a different kind of civil war. It's not left, right? Which it isn't right. And you talk about this in your book extensively. So go ahead, take that. Take it where you would like.

Guest Commentator (7:49)

Okay? I think there are three levels of warfare that we're talking about Here, the first and overarching one that is already happening is the fifth generation war on everyone. So for people who don't know, military theorists have been talking about four generations of war for a long time. There was the old kind where armies would line up on battlefields and shoot at each other. That developed and developed. And then we started to get the guerrilla warfare and things that we saw in Vietnam. Then fourth generation warfare. Now there's something called fifth generation warfare, which is essentially the governments of nations warring against their own citizens economically with biohazards and biosecurity threats and with information warfare. Everything that you can think of, basically the oligarchs who really run the country, not the politicians trying to control the masses in various ways. But when the population starts to wake up to realize, oh, hey, there's this warfare, and I think it's the government that's warring against us, what do you do about that? And that's when you start to get into that revolutionary war kind of thing that the, you know, the CNBC hosts or whoever are fretting about, oh, my God, this might prevent more billionaires from rising. But at that moment, I think there is that kind of crisis moment of realization, and, hey, we've got to do something about this. The question is, what will the oligar do about that? And we saw in 2008, the last time we saw that sort of realization, hey, what? What the hell is happening? Suddenly there's a $700 billion bailout on the table that. Remember when that was a lot of money and people were starting to, you know, too big to jail, all of that sort of stuff? That's a revolutionary moment. People start rising up. You got people on the right in the Tea Party. You got people on the left in Occupy Wall street basically saying the same thing. We're the 99%. There's 1% at the top that's trying to control us. So what do they do? They make everything about transgender bathrooms. And that becomes, you know, the big talking point of the 2010s and bye bye, all of that talk about, you know, real revolutionary stuff, and now we're just going to war about the culture war. So I think the strategy and the way they've tried to kick the can down the road is by fomenting not the revolutionary spirit, the civil war. They want us fighting with each other.

James Corbett (9:57)

Yes.

Guest Commentator (9:58)

No, it isn't. It isn't the oligarchs that are keeping you down. It has nothing to do with those people at the top with the billions and Trillions. No, no, no, it's your neighbor. Because they voted the wrong way or they wear the wrong color, you know, skirt or whatever it is, whatever it is that's dividing people. That's what they want to press. So they want civil war, not revolution.

James Corbett (10:17)

That's very well put. That's exactly the men that's been the message of this show for a long time now that they, you know, they want the left and right fighting. Because if we realize we have more in common, that divides us and that we share a common enemy, which is the oligarchy, then we'll come together. So they have to make sure we don't come together. And the way they do that is to keep us fighting over bathrooms, keep us fighting. You know, Michael Shellenberger, I saw him do a whole presentation on this that, you know, when he had Occupy Wall street and we had the Tea Party, they were both complaining about the same thing. They were both saying, hey, why, why are the banks running our lives, wrecking our economy and pocketing cash doing it. And while we have to get kicked out of our houses and we all feel the pinch of a recession. And they wanted to come together and so they had to stop that. And so Michael Shellenberger makes the point that that's when you started to see all these in newspapers and in the media. Talk about racism, talk about nationalism, talk about Nazis, talk about white supremacists and then talk about bathrooms and trans issues. It went off the charts, right? That what really spiked in the mainstream media. And let's remember what Chomsky taught us, that the media's not there to give you the news. I know people still turn on the TV and read the New York Times because they think they're getting the news. And what they're not, they're not getting that you're getting. They're manufacturing your consent for the oligarchs agenda. That's what the news is there for. Which is why they passed the Telecommunications act in 1996, which took us from 50 different giant media companies down to six gargantuan, colossal, unimaginable giant media companies. So now it's easier to control. You just have six companies. Everybody who works in journalism or media is going to end up working for one of these six companies. And one of the sixth of the of of the media right now in America is owned by a violent of or a, a Zionist who is a very vocal Zionist. He owns an Israel, Israel loyal person who now owns a sixth of the American media. One person. And they own TikTok, same people. And it's all at the behest of Zionism. So it's getting harder and harder to make that case that they don't run the media when one guy buys the media at the behest of Israel and Zionism. So, yeah, that's exactly what you were talking about. They completely tried to stop the revolution. They don't want a revolution. Neither does Bernie Sanders, by the way. They got him to take the revolutionary energy in the Democratic Party and funnel it back into the Democratic Party, which is an anti worker, pro war party. It's pro Wall Street. You can't be pro Wall street and pro worker those things. They don't mix those. And so they've decided to become the party of Wall Street. And idiots. All my idiot friends in Hollywood still think that Democrats care about workers, even though Joe Biden squashed railroad union strike, which would have set the template for workers nationwide. And of course he had to squash that. But anyway, anything else you'd like to add to this? Because this is really, it was really shocking when I saw them on CNBC talking about the 99% coming together against the 1%. Because that's what that is.

Guest Commentator (13:40)

Yeah. Well, all I can say is this is a revolutionary moment if we, if we understand it for what it is. But unfortunately, as you say, the media is such an incredibly important part of this, shaping people's perception, not just telling people what to think, but basically putting the framework on how far they're allowed to think on any given subject. And if they frame everything in a certain way, they can get people to stop thinking of it in those revolutionary terms, which is why it's, I mean, it's even interesting, as you point out, that they're even talking about it this way. You would think they would try to put it into some sort of left, right? Oh, it's about Trump politics or whatever. No, they're, they're starting to understand. Well, they're at least letting on that they know that this is about real revolution and that's, that's what we have to do, I think, in the independent media is stress those factors that they're usually never going to talk about on the, on the mainstream news.

James Corbett (14:28)

Well, it's like the. How they had to pretend that Barack Obama was some kind of communist socialist radical because they had to keep that left right. Pretend game going. Right. They had. Barack Obama was the biggest tool of Wall Street. That's the irony. His entire cabinet came from an email from Citigroup, the Citigroup bank and on Wall street sent an email to the Barack Obama campaign with a list of people they wanted in his campaign. Every one of those people on the list ended up in his campaign. So that just shows you that it's all red. So the Republicans and Democrats, it really is a show. It really is theater. Because Barack Obama did almost exactly what John McCain would have done, did exactly what Mitt Romney. In fact, he gave us Mitt Romney's health care plan. That's what Obamacare is. It's Romneycare. And so this goes even more to the point that this left, right divide is completely manufactured to keep us divided, which means we can keep us controlled. That's my thesis, right?

Guest Commentator (15:32)

Yeah, that's it. But don't worry. I'm sure Bernie and AOC are going to save us all with their anti oligarch tour in their private jets.

James Corbett (15:38)

In their private jets. They're taking private jets on an anti oligarch. By the way, they didn't have anything to say about the oligarchs for four years when Joe Biden was president. Isn't that funny? In fact, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had more billionaire donors than Donald Trump. But right now they're upset about it. They're upset enough to take a private jet over to your city? Yeah.

Guest Commentator (15:56)

Yeah. It's unfortunate. But again, that's why I think people are starting to understand this. And they'll never. They'll never talk about the awakening that's happening on the nightly news. Never, ever expect that the revolution will be televised. So again, it's up to voices like ours to at least point this out and to let people out there who think, oh, I'm the only one who understands what's going on. I'm the only one who sees this, no one else. No, you are not alone. There are many, many, many people who understand what's going on. And when we start uniting on that issue, then there is a real contest going on. When it's about civil war and about fracturing people along party lines, then we lose.

James Corbett (16:34)

Do you think that will happen? Do you think that the people will? I mean, I've seen hope of it. I saw Christian Small start a union at the Amazon Fulfillment center on Staten island, which is made of Trump voters. So I was a black guy getting Trump voters to join together to oppose the oligarch. Jeff Bezos, one of the biggest ones. Do you see that happening more? Do you really think that that could happen? Because that's. If it doesn't happen, we're over as a country.

Guest Commentator (17:00)

Yeah, well, hey, I'm in, I'm in Japan and it's the same boat over here. I mean, I think unless I saw some possibility for this happening, why would I even be here talking to you? I'd just be off drinking myself to death or whatever. No, there is a possibility that we can have that shift and we have to understand that it is. It's enemy propaganda. Don't worry, lay down. There's nothing you can do. It's all taken care of. We control everything. No, no, they do not control everything. In fact, the power of our society rests so much on us. Us giving our time, our energy, our resources, our attention, working in the jobs to create the things for the oligarch's economy that if we en masse understood that and opted out of it, we could have a difference. And you know, that sounds like, oh, that's never going to happen. Well, I don't know when the SNAP program suddenly stops working and all of these, one third of the American population that's struggling to make ends meet suddenly can't even feed themselves. That is truly revolutionary times. There's a reason why let them eat cake. Is the quintessential oligarch out of touch phrase? It's because you know when people get hungry, that's when the guillotine start coming out.

James Corbett (18:09)

When is the SNAP benefits due to run out?

Guest Commentator (18:12)

I believe November 1st. Right. Isn't that when the first non payment is going to happen?

James Corbett (18:16)

Oh, no kidding. So they got it. They better. They've got to figure out something on this Epstein vote because they got to get the Congress back in session because that will start a real revolution. A lot of MAGA on snap. A lot of MAGA need their health insurance subsidies for Obamacare. A lot of MAGA need Medicaid. A lot of MAGA need Medicare too. So that bill's coming due. And I predict bad things for the Republican Party, which it doesn't matter because the oligarchs don't care if it's the Republicans or Democrats in power. They get exactly what they want no matter what. No matter who you vote for. You get John McCain, you've heard me say that a million times. And that's what Donald Trump is proving to be. He already bombed two countries at the behest of in the first five months of his presidency. Bombed two countries at the behest of Israel. He's still funding the Ukraine war. He's not stopping that now. He's trying to overthrow Venezuela. He's going to and we'll see what happens? And anyway, there's a million things. He did close the border, so I'll give him that. He closed the border. Congratulations. All right, James Corbett, everybody. Check out this book. It's now. Is it now in paperback? Is that what the big deal is?

Guest Commentator (19:25)

It is now in hardcover. There's a nice, juicy, wonderful hardcover that is available@reportagebook.com and there is an audiobook coming by Thanksgiving.

James Corbett (19:35)

It's a really, it's a great book. Every time I pick it up, you know, it's lay. It's laying on my desk and every once in a while I'll just pick it up and start thumbing through it again. It's just mind blowing. Every. And it's, it's really. You have a real clear way of speaking to people and articulating the real problems, not the fake problems that people think are the problems, but the real problems. And the real problems are up, down, top, down. They're not left. Right. All right, James Corbett, congratulations on your YouTube channel being restored. And they. Did they give you all your subscribers back too?

Guest Commentator (20:07)

Theoretically. But I think like you, I'm not on that juicy corporate algorithm, so I am not getting the views anymore that I used to get.

He tried to overthrow it in 2019 and install a puppet Juan Guaido so we could steal their oil. That's how the United States works. And back then, Tulsi Gabbard was against it. Remember this?

Tulsi Gabbard (21:10)

The United States has a disastrous history of military intervention and regime change around the world, which has brought suffering to millions of people. It's bankrupted our country, dishonored our troops, and it's undermined our national security. We must end this policy now before we get into yet another military conflict, this time in Venezuela. Now, President Trump and his administration have already instituted heavy sanctions On Venezuela, Venezuela, they've doubled down on their position that all options are on the table. I wholeheartedly support the Venezuelan people as they fight for a free and fair democracy. But the United States should not be in the business of intervening, of picking who should lead their country. And we certainly should not be threatening military action. Venezuela poses no threat to the United States. Congress has not authorized the United States to go to war in Venezuela. And there's no justification for our country to violate the sovereignty of the Venezuelan people. Now the reality is that threats of US Military action and regime change in Venezuela is undermining ongoing efforts to convince North Korea to give up their nuclear weapons program, which exists because Kim Jong Un sees it as the only deterrent against U. S. Led regime change. Now President Trump is promising North Korea we will not wage regime change war against them, but at the same time is simultaneously threatening regime change in Venezuela. North Korea is going to look at President Trump's actions, not at empty promises. The United States needs to stay out of Venezuela and let the Venezuelan people determine their own future.

James Corbett (22:58)

That was done, that was in response to Donald Trump trying to overthrow Maduro in Venezuela in 2019. And she was right. But Donald Trump is back at it. He's going to, he's bombing all the boats off of the. They put more sanctions on Venezuela. He's. He sent military boats, naval boats and down to Venezuela and now they're bombing fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela and he's going to start bombing inside Venezuela. That's what he said.

Jimmy Dore (23:28)

Look at that picture, Jimmy. Look at that picture with Reagan smiling like a douchebag, like a ghost over his shoulder. That's intentional.

James Corbett (23:35)

And so, and he's saying he's doing this to fight narco terrorism. And I remind you, if you really think he's fighting narco terrorism as combat says, if Venezuela were a narco state, Marco Rubio would be having smiling photo ops with its president. Ministers would be bribed, not sanctioned. US Firms would be plundering, not whining on cnn. And the only crime here is refusing to kneel. That's their crime. So Maduro and Venezuela will not kneel to Donald Trump and the US Economic hitmen. And they're going to keep the oil for their own country. And that can't. And if you think I'm lying, Donald Trump let the cat out of the bag. So that's Tulsi Gabbard in 2019. Here's Donald Trump in 2024 when he was running for president. How about we're Buying oil from Venezuela. When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over. We would have gotten all that oil.

Director Patel (24:25)

It would have been right next door.

James Corbett (24:27)

And he's just like John McCain, just like Hillary Clinton when she did this in Libya. Remember this?

Director Patel (24:32)

Yes.

Tulsi Gabbard (24:32)

We came, we saw, he died.

James Corbett (24:36)

He didn't have anything to do. And that's how they. That's how they look at other countries. They, hey, we go kill their leaders and we, we wreck their countries. Here is the Max Blumenthal tweets out. The State department stenographers at 60 Minutes are attempting to normalize US state terrorism and the assassination of Nicolas Maduro. Their justification is Maduro's designation as the leader of a cartel created in the 1990s by the CIA, which no longer exists. So let's listen. This is what they said. There's three ways this can go, according to a lot of the people that we spoke to, which is he packs his bags and leaves or he's picked up. There's this big bounty for his arrest.

Nick Cruz (25:20)

So he could be picked up.

James Corbett (25:21)

That's number two. Or he can meet his maker. It's not a question of if, but.

Bill Gates (25:28)

A question of when.

James Corbett (25:30)

So they just say that, right on 60 Minutes, like, hey, we're gonna overthrow this country and if we have to kill him, we're gonna kill him. And 60 Minutes, it's like, oh, that's good news, good to hear. And here's friend Nick Cruz, the former ambassador to Venezuela, let the cat out of the bag and told you what it's really about. Again, you got Trump saying what it's really about. You got Tulsi saying what it's. And now we have the former ambassador to Venezuela telling you what it's really about. Nick Cruz caught it. Let's watch.

Nick Cruz (25:58)

Neocon war criminals are going on TV and openly explaining how they plan to violate international law in order to destabilize and destroy Venezuela.

James Corbett (26:11)

If I was Maduro, I'd head to Russia or China right now because his days are numbered. Something's going to happen. Whether it's internal or external, I think something's going to happen. There's three ways this can go, according to a lot of the people that we spoke to, which is he packs his bags and leaves or he's picked up. There's this big bounty for his arrest. So he could be picked up. That's number two. Or he can meet his maker. It's not a question of if, but a question of when.

Nick Cruz (26:44)

Our ruling class is filled with gangsters. Man, they go on air and they just openly admit their own crimes. These are the same people who support angel murdering children and saints in the International Criminal Criminal Court in order to protect their war criminal buddies. But they want to convince us that Nicholas Maduro is this uniquely evil tyrant. The United States is ran by a ruling class who spend their time protecting pedophiles while committing fraud against their own people. But they want us to support war against Maduro. Most of the time they try to convince us to hate Nicholas Maduro and Venice, Venezuela because of nonsense about human rights or drug trafficking. But it's always refreshing when they say the quiet part out loud like this guy did.

Jimmy Dore (27:33)

This is a very bad actor sitting on top of the world's largest known reserves of oil plus the critical minerals that will fuel the 21st century economy.

James Corbett (27:48)

So he's just telling you why they're doing this. It's got nothing to do with him running fentanyl to the United States because all the fentanyl ethanol comes from Mexico. It's got nothing to do with drug running. It's got to do with this guy is sitting on the biggest oil reserve in the world and he's got all these minerals which the 21st century economy is going to be run on. So we have to obviously go in and overthrow him and give their natural resources to the economic hitmen. And who is that guy? He's the former ambassador from the United States to Venezuela and he just said it out loud.

Jimmy Dore (28:22)

Was he the guy that had to go blow Maduro for oil back when they put those stupid sanctions on?

James Corbett (28:27)

I wonder if they did. I wonder if that was the guy. But here there's more to this.

Jimmy Dore (28:31)

And he's in bed with our strategic competitors.

James Corbett (28:34)

And how has he been able to.

Tulsi Gabbard (28:35)

Cling to power for as long as he has?

Jimmy Dore (28:38)

I mean, let's be very clear. This is a criminal organization masquerading as.

Nick Cruz (28:42)

A government that's a former United States ambassador to Venezuela. Openly admitting that we're hostile to Nicolas Maduro because he has the largest oil reserve and he refused to be a puppet of the United States. But the fact that this is a war that the United States is trying to start with Venezuela over false pretexts is exactly what the American people realize. Which is why majority of the American people oppose war against Venezuela. That's exactly why 60 million minutes are running unchallenged pro war propaganda in order to justify military action against Nicolas Maduro. Hands off Venezuela, you imperialist gum.

James Corbett (29:24)

Well said by Nick Cruz. Well said. That's Exactly. So the American people are against Trump overthrowing and starting a war with Venezuela, which is why CBS News now, under the direction of Barry Weiss, who is a Zionist maniac, is, is running pro war pieces like that on 60 Minutes, CBS News. And that's exactly what Tone Police says the Barry Weiss era of CBS has begun.

Jimmy Dore (29:51)

So now, not just that, Jimmy, first of all, all these, all these media stations, the one Barry Weiss is on, that's Larry Ellison bought them all.

James Corbett (30:00)

That's right.

Jimmy Dore (30:01)

All of them merged to. So, you know, when, when anti Semites go. Jews control the media. No, that's not true. Jew controls the one named Larry Ellison.

James Corbett (30:11)

So here is Rand Paul to also disagree with Donald Trump. So you got Tulsi Gabbard, you got. Now you got Rand Paul. He's going to tell you what's actually happening in Venezuela and why Trump is killing all those people in fishing boats. And it's against our Constitution. And he tells you the truth about.

Rand Paul (30:28)

It and how dangerous people in a lot of American cities, but we just don't go in and shoot them. I mean, we have trials. I get legal representation.

James Corbett (30:38)

So if they're really running drugs, that's what Trump is doing this under the idea that they're narco terrorists and we have to go kill them and bomb their country because they're narco terrorists. Well, he's here to remind you, a sitting senator, that, hey, by the way, we have. That's a criminal offense. If someone is running drugs, you're supposed to arrest them and give them a trial. But that's not what Donald Trump's doing. Okay, here we go.

Rand Paul (31:03)

We have dangerous people in a lot of American cities, but we just don't go in and shoot them. I mean, we have trials that get legal representation and even on the high seas, it's been that way for generations. If you go off the coast of Miami, the Coast Guard will be stopping boats today. And about 25% of the boats that they stop that they're suspicious of drugs, there won't be any drugs on board. So 25% of the time the suspicion is wrong. And that's why we don't shoot and just blow up boats off of Miami, but neither should we be blowing them up off the coast of Venezuela. Number one, there is no fentanyl made in Venezuela. Not just a little bit, there's none being made in Venezuela. These are outboard boats that in order for them to get to Miami, would have to stop and refuel 20 times. They're in all likely going to Trinidad in Tobago, which is an island right off of the coast of Venezuela. So there's a lot of reasons to be worried about this, but number one is the broader principle of when can you kill people indiscriminately? When you're at war. That's why when we declare war, it's supposed to be done by Congress, it's supposed to be thoughtful, it's supposed to be debated, and we're not supposed to do it willy nilly. And then when you have war, you just kill people in the war zone. And even then there are rules of engagement. But interdicting drugs has always been a criminal activity and a criminal anti crime sort of activity where we don't just summarily execute people, we actually present evidence and convict them.

James Corbett (32:33)

And what Trump is doing right now is just killing people without a trial, saying they're drug addicts, they're drug dealers. Well, guess what, this guy did this in the Philippines and now he went and killed what he said was drug traffickers. And what they're doing is now the icc, the International Criminal Court is charging that guy with killing people without giving him a trial. Former Philippines president has been charged with crimes against humanity by the ICC. The 80 year old is accused of being criminally responsible for dozens of murders that allegedly took place as part of his so called war on drugs, during which thousands of small time drug dealers, users and others were killed without trial. So exactly what Donald Trump is doing right now off the coast of Venezuela, this guy did in the Philippines and they're now charging him at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. So this is what your country has come to under Donald Trump. No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain, you get Regime change, wars. And while, by the way, while 40% of Americans are now food insecure, and just so you know, half the country can't afford a $500 emergency, 70% of the country lives paycheck to paycheck. This is what they're doing. They're bombing Iran, they're bombing Yemen, they're in bed with Al Qaeda and Syria, they're trying to overthrow Venezuela. There's, they're giving $40 billion to Argentina, they're not giving $40 billion to Americans. Americans are in food lines right now because of the government shutdown that's actually happening. They're not sending $40 billion to Americans. And so this is what you're supposed to do when someone, like, when someone does what Donald Trump is doing. You're supposed to put him on trial at the icc but it won't happen because the United States has the most powerful military in the world. That's why we're overthrowing Venezuela. That's why Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't have to go to prison. So, yeah, nice country you got there. And just to let you know, Donald Trump is doing exactly the same thing every other president has ever done. They overthrow countries in south and Central America at the behest of American hitmen. You want me to show you how many people.

Rand Paul (34:56)

Here's every South American country which has.

Guest Commentator (34:58)

Had its government overthrown by the CIA since 1947.

Rand Paul (35:02)

Costa Rica in 1948, Guatemala, 1954, El Salvador, 1979. Nicaragua, 1981, Panama, 1989, Paraguay, 1954, Brazil, 1964, Peru, 1968, Chile, 1973, Uruguay, 1973, Argentina, 1976, and Venezuela in 2002.

James Corbett (35:26)

And Iraq in 2003, Afghanistan in 2002, Syria in 2024, Libya in 2010. We could keep going. Let's remember what Tulsi we will forever. Tulsi Gabbard said, throughout history, every time the US Topples a foreign country's dictator and government, that outcome has been disastrous. Civil war, military intervention in Venezuela will wreak death and destruction to Venezuelan people and increase tensions that threaten our national security. She said that the first time Trump was trying to overthrow Venezuela in 2019.

Jimmy Dore (36:09)

So job creation, basically.

James Corbett (36:11)

So, hopefully. I know this is painful for people who like Trump, for maga, who like Trump, but most of the MAGA I know are against this kind of stuff. But if you're not, I know it's painful for you to realize that Donald Trump is John McCain. He didn't cut the money that Doge found. He just gave that money to the Pentagon. An extra $200 billion to a Pentagon that can't pass an audit, and he knows it. They were giving them $800 billion, and they couldn't pass the audit. So Trump gave him an extra 200 billion. He didn't give it to you. He didn't give it to states. He didn't give it to America. He didn't give it to workers. He didn't give it to people bankrupted by healthcare. He didn't give people bankrupted by student loans, people who are in food lines, people who can't afford a $500. He didn't do anything. He didn't build you a park or a hospital or a drug treatment center or a library or new schools or hire more teachers. No, he just gave it to weapons manufacturers.

Jimmy Dore (37:04)

Jimmy, Argentina is fighting for his life right now. Stop saying Argentina's fine.

James Corbett (37:08)

He gave $40 billion to Argentina. He's not going to give $40 billion to America. He will give $200 billion to the military industrial complex.

Jimmy Dore (37:17)

He will take this a complex stool already $2 trillion every few years already already.

James Corbett (37:23)

He will give you. He will give. He will give billions and billions of dollars to Israel. He will give hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine. He's still funding Ukraine. Donald Trump.

Jimmy Dore (37:34)

Whoopsies.

James Corbett (37:35)

Guess what? Ukraine has health care. You pay for it and you pay for it.

Jimmy Dore (37:42)

Government medicine. I don't want the government to riding the medicine unless it's Israel and Ukraine and all.

James Corbett (37:48)

And it's our money. And it's our money. Ok, I know you don't like some people that like to hear this information, but suck it up, buttercup. Suck it up, buttercup. This is real. This is. The only way you can break the oligarchy is by coming to realize the truth about what Donald Trump is actually doing right now.

Jimmy Dore (38:04)

They're supposed to be loyal to you. You're not supposed to be loyal to them 100%.

James Corbett (38:09)

You're not supposed to hear that people say I'm loyal to Trump. Well, you're not supposed to be loyal to a politician, numb nuts. A politician is supposed to be loyal to you.

Jimmy Dore (38:18)

You know what they said? What?

James Corbett (38:20)

And when the politician goes against what they told you they were going to do, they are now being disloyal to you. And you don't all. You are now supposed to call them out as an American.

Jimmy Dore (38:31)

You're supposed to like a fat spinster in love with a prisoner.

James Corbett (38:34)

You're supposed to stand up for yourself. You're supposed to stand up for America against politicians who are breaking their promises and doing the exact opposite of what they campaigned on. I did it with aoc, Bernie Sanders and the squad. Now it's your turn to do it with Donald Trump. Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries, it will not lead to humanity's demise. Oh, sounds like Bill Gates has a different plan to make money than off of climate change. You know the vaccine, it's more about vaccines. That's what it sounds like to me.

Jimmy Dore (39:14)

Remember, he goes, he comes out after when you weren't still weren't allowed to say it, he'd go, well, we know Covid is kind of like the flu but a little different and blah blah.

James Corbett (39:22)

People will be able to live and thrive in most places on earth for the foreseeable future. Some of the big news Today is that Bill Gates has flip flopped on climate change. Here it is. Bill Gates makes major climate change reversal. After years of doomerism, people will be able to live and thrive. He says, this is from October 28th. This is real. And I think every time a news outlet mentions Bill Gates, they should have to legally announce he's not a doctor or a scientist first.

Jimmy Dore (39:57)

Like to do it rfk yeah, like.

James Corbett (40:00)

They do it, they should say it should go something like this, high school dropout with money, Bill Gates, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's how they should start it. Or maybe they should say longtime Epstein guys pal, Bill Gates. Okay, here we go. Or maybe they should say high school dropout and billionaire orgy guy Bill Gates. Maybe they should say that.

Jimmy Dore (40:22)

Orgy guy Bill Gates says not to worry.

James Corbett (40:25)

Here's what he says. There's a doomsday view of climate change that goes like this. In a few decades, cataclysmic climate change will decimate civilization. The evidence is all around us. Just look at all those heat waves and storms caused by rising global temperatures. Nothing matters more than limiting the rise of temperature. He goes on to say, fortunately for all of us, this view is wrong. Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries, it will not lead to humanity's demise. Uh oh. Sounds like Bill Gates has a different plan to make money than off of climate change. You know, it's more about vaccines. That's what it sounds like to me.

Jimmy Dore (41:17)

Remember, he goes, he comes out after, when you weren't. Still weren't allowed to say it, he'd go, well, we know Covid's kind of like the flu, but a little different and blah, blah.

James Corbett (41:25)

People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Huh. I thought we were all going to die soon. I thought the Florida is going to be underwater and most of the people live by the ocean, so it's going to displace most of the people in the world. So that's. None of that's true. Well, we now know that they've been lying about sea level rising. It's not rising. We know that they're lying about the hurricanes being worse and fires being worse. That's not. None of that's true. So all this stuff, in fact, we know that the more carbon there has been in the atmosphere, it's led to an incredible explosion of more greenery on the Earth. Actually, there's been more plants, way more plants and greenery in the last 20 years. Like enough to fill a whole United States worth of greenery. He goes on to say, people will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emission projections have gone down. What?

Jimmy Dore (42:29)

What?

James Corbett (42:30)

Yes, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down much further. So that's what he's saying. So that's what he's saying now. Hey, it's not a big deal. It's all right. It's all right. DC Drano says this is a huge victory. Bill Gates and the climate change alarmists are finally admitting humans will be just fine. Truth tellers were demonized for years for saying the extremists were unwarranted. But even with massive censorship, the data keeps proving the human activity is not causing the planet to combust. The conspiracy theorists remain undefeated. So here's a young lady from the Free Press. Here's what she says.

Zoe (43:19)

Bill Gates has finally admitted that climate doomerism is a mistake after years of saying stuff like this.

Bill Gates (43:25)

The world emits over 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases, and as we keep doing that, the consequences for human life will be catastrophic.

James Corbett (43:37)

Boy, that's what. That's what Elon Musk has been saying. That's what John Kerry has been saying. That's what Obama has been saying. That's what Jeff Bezos has been saying. Mark Zuckerberg has been saying. That's what all the billionaires, including Bill Gates, have been saying. There he is saying it.

Jimmy Dore (43:55)

Bill Nye the science communicator, has been communicating that.

James Corbett (43:58)

Bill Nye, the science communicator, he's not a scientist, has been saying that. And by the way, Bill Gates. Bill Nye, wrong about everything to do with COVID and time is running out.

Zoe (44:08)

Bill Gates now says this climate change will not lead to humanity's demise. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Climate realists like Judith Curry, Steve Koonin, Michael Shellenberger, Alex Epstein, Roger Pike Jr. And Bjorn Lomberg have been saying this exact thing for years. That climate change is not an existential threat and that the singular obsession with carbon emissions has distracted us from solving real problems. But those scientists and writers were ostracized. They were censored on social media, protested, and in some cases pushed out of their jobs. They were mocked as climate deniers for saying the same thing Bill Gates is finally admitting today. I'm glad Bill Gates has come around to common sense. Yes, the planet is warming, but it's not the biggest problem we face, and it's something humans are more than capable of adapting to. We've already adapted to 1.3 degrees of warming over the past 150 years, a period that also happens to be the most prosperous and productive time in human history. I welcome this shift to common sense, even though the climate doomerism Gates helped create has fueled a mental health crisis among young people. Half of young people polled by Lancet say they felt sad, anxious, angry and helpless because of climate change. A 2025 study found that 1 in 5 young people in the US were afraid to have children because of climate fears. I welcome this shift from Gates, even though for decades developing countries in Africa have been forced to jump through absurd hoops to meet the West's net zero goals, when we know that developing with fossil fuels is cheaper, faster and more reliable than the renewable projects we pressured them to build to make ourselves feel virtuous. Meanwhile, the west still gets 80% of its energy from fossil fuel. Now, Gates says this is a chance to refocus on the metric that should count even more than emissions and temperature change. Improving lives. And Bill says we should now focus our international resources on addressing poverty and disease. And I agree. But if he's serious about making things better, it should start with an apology tour. Apologize to the scientists who were punished for speaking the truth. Apologize to the young people who sacrificed their futures because of the fear you helped spread. And apologize to the developing countries that were forced to stay poor, chasing green technologies that don't even work.

James Corbett (46:13)

I happen to agree with her. So here's. Here's. Bill Gates was asked about this on cnbc, about his new stance. Here's what he says.

Bill Gates (46:21)

Climate is a super important problem. There's enough innovation here to avoid super bad outcomes. We won't achieve our best goal, the 1.5 or even the 2 degrees. And as we.

James Corbett (46:39)

So he's saying that we're not going to achieve our goal of halting temperature rise from 1.5 degrees or even 2 degrees. We're not going to be able to do that. So that. That was the Paris Accords, I think it was 1.5. They're not going to be so. So all that stuff was ridiculous. According to Bill Gates, right now, that the climate change summit, that the Paris agreement, all that stuff, even Copenhagen, it's all wrong. And that's not going to happen. So we're not going to be able to meet this goal of stopping the temperature rising.

Jimmy Dore (47:19)

So that's. What is that, 40 years? How long were they pushing That, I remember that from 70s.

James Corbett (47:25)

In the 70s they started it, said it was going to be an ice age. Then they flipped in the 80s and said, no, it's, the planet's clean, it's heating up and it's all because of us. Even though that over the last 500 million years it's been way hotter and we're actually in an ice age, still in a cooling phase. And we're in, we're in the middle of two ice ages. We're out at the end of one. Okay, here's what he says.

Bill Gates (47:52)

Trying to minimize that. We have to frame it in terms of overall human welfare. Not just everything should be solely for climate.

Guest Commentator (48:03)

When the climate activists who have been very supportive of what you've done, and you've been very supportive of what they've done, read this. And if Greta Thunberg is reading this and saying to herself, my goodness, he seems like he is reversing himself, what.

Rand Paul (48:17)

Would you tell her?

Bill Gates (48:19)

I'd say, wasn't the goal here to improve human lives? And shouldn't we, in our awareness of how little generosity there is to help measure, should we get them a measles vaccine or should we do some climate related activity and if we could take, if we stop putting all vaccines and that saved you 0.1 degree, would that be a smart trade off? That's the kind of question we have to ask. So I'm a climate activist, but I'm also a child survival activist. If you think climate is the only problem and it's apocalyptic, or if you think climate's not a problem at all, my memo will make no sense to you. You'll be like, oh no, it should all be climate. Or you'll be like, why are you even still talking about this climate thing?

Rand Paul (49:14)

Why are about you talking?

Bill Gates (49:15)

Why do you invest billions of your money into these companies? The middle position that climate is super important but not really has to be considered in terms of overall human welfare. I didn't pick that position because it's a, you know, everybody agrees with it.

James Corbett (49:40)

Including your former self up until five seconds ago, just like during COVID when he said that we gotta get everybody vaccinated. Nobody's safe unless everybody's safe. And if you don't get it, you're gonna kill your grandma and we gotta lock down everything and everybody's gotta be vaccinated. And then as soon as he cashed in his stock, he said, oh, turns out that the COVID virus is not deadly. It has a low infection fatality rate. In fact, it only affects the elderly and it's really just like the flu. He said all that and now he's saying he's doing the about face on climate change. So apparently he's found out a different way to make more money than lying to you about climate change. So that's all I can think is that he's now figured out a. Wait, I could, I gotta, we gotta shift our focus to, to, to, to vaccines that I'm heavily invested in that which without any, by the way, without any safety studies on any of it.

Jimmy Dore (50:32)

What would you say to Greta Thunberg, Bill Gates, I can't believe he asked him what he's. What he said Thunberg has moved on from this issue already.

James Corbett (50:37)

What would you, what would you, Bill Gates, someone who never finished college say to someone else who never even finished high school about climate change, what would you say to that person?

Jimmy Dore (50:46)

Drop out.

James Corbett (50:47)

What would you say to a high school dropout, you being a college dropout with absolutely no credentials about anything medical, scientific or climatology wise? What would you say to someone else who has absolutely no high school degree, college degree or expertise on anything? Why are these are the two people we're listening to about climate change in the first goddamn place?

Jimmy Dore (51:08)

I don't even think that they're both dropout. Why is clash of the dropouts a thing that I'm supposed to RFK Jun.

James Corbett (51:15)

Who has sued Monsanto and chemical companies his entire life and Big Pharma and the CDC and the fda. And one, he's the guy who doesn't have any expertise because he doesn't have a degree in something. Although he does have a, he is a lawyer, he has a legal degree and he has a college degree and a high school degree. But now but these two people. Because they're normally repeating the establishment propaganda. Nobody ever asked those questions of Bill Gates. Nobody ever asked those questions of Greta Thunberg. But they always ask it about someone who's had success in suing these people.

Jimmy Dore (51:53)

And whose answers make sense 99% of the time. That's right, Israel. But all the other ones he gives you a direct answer.

James Corbett (52:01)

So way to go Bill Gates. Bill Gates just flip flop right in your face. And you're all chumps. And like I've caught why caught on it was it took me till after Covid to realize that not only are they lying about COVID and the Ukraine war and the Syrian war and the Venezuelan war and the Iraq war and the Iran war and every other Libya, they're also lying about this. They're lying about Russiagate, they're lying about the 2016 primary with the Democratic Party. There wasn't a thing. They haven't lied about. They're, they're lying about Julian Assange, they're lying about that. Everybody.

Jimmy Dore (52:38)

You know what I used to say to conservatives that were like, big anti. Climate change isn't real people. I would go, well, I hope you're right.

James Corbett (52:44)

And you know what?

Jimmy Dore (52:45)

They were.

James Corbett (52:46)

Turns out they were happy. Turns out they were. So we've covered this in many different ways. This is just another way. I, I can't, I can do a whole hour on how they lied to you about climate change, how they've been caught. They recently got caught. Michael Shellenberger caught them lying about the fact that sea levels are rising. Sea levels aren't rising. That's a lie. They've been saying that the fires and hurricanes and weather, that's all worse now. That's also a lie. And they say, well, it's the hottest year on record. They only stopped keeping records less than a blink of an eye since 1850. You know, the earth is, I think, was it 4 billion years old? Something like that? They did 500 year, 500 million years. Even Washington Post says, hey, it turns out we didn't have polar caps most of the history of the united of the world. We didn't have ice at the, at the caps. We didn't. This is a recent thing.

Jimmy Dore (53:39)

How about this record? The world record for greenhouse emissions by mankind into the atmosphere was set when we blew up Nord Stream 2. America did.

James Corbett (53:48)

That's right.

Jimmy Dore (53:49)

So if all these experts in the highest level of government thought climate change is real, would they have done that?

James Corbett (53:57)

And now you know the rest of the story. Bill Gates has been is flip flopping again. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

Director Patel (54:10)

That dude's cash.

James Corbett (54:20)

Hell. Hello, Director Patel. What are you up to?

Director Patel (54:25)

You know me, dog. Solving crimes and banging dimes.

James Corbett (54:41)

I see, I see.

Director Patel (54:44)

Yeah, dude, since I've been in charge, it's been more like the fucking Bureau of Investigation.

James Corbett (54:48)

Yeah, all right, that's. Hey, can you give us an idea of some things that you've been working on?

Director Patel (54:55)

Well, as you know, we busted a bunch of athletes and mobsters connected with the NBA gambling ring. Yeah, that was pretty tight. Finally, Americans can sleep at night knowing they're safe. Now that a very minor, essentially victimless gambling racket has been eliminated.

James Corbett (55:09)

Thank God, huh?

Director Patel (55:12)

And the optics on this are fucking clutch, dude. I don't think the American public are gunning for anyone more Than professional athletes and low level gangsters with names like Tommy Juice and Black Tony. Americans hate those dudes.

James Corbett (55:28)

Hey, I think they probably hate Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking ring. Note more than that, right?

Director Patel (55:34)

Really? Nah, dude, I don't think most people care about that shit. Basketball players, they fucking hate those guys. Just because they're tall, they think they're hot shit. That's fucking bullshit, dude. They're just genetic freaks. That's all Paul men are. Also, sports gambling is like way worse than exploiting underage girls for sex.

James Corbett (55:53)

I can confidently say that is not true.

Director Patel (55:57)

Oh yeah? Well, fine. I have no moral center, so I may be out of my dad's here.

James Corbett (56:01)

Yeah. Has there been any movement on the Epstein case at all? I mean, is the FBI going to help provide the American people any answers on that?

Director Patel (56:10)

Ah, dude.

James Corbett (56:26)

No.

Director Patel (56:27)

Not my job, brother. Only Congress can get those those files unsealed and the government shut the fuck down. It's not my problem.

James Corbett (56:36)

How convenient.

Director Patel (56:39)

Look, the American people are not interested in the whole Epstein thing anymore. It's in the past. He's dead. Who gives a shit, dude?

James Corbett (56:46)

But there are powerful men who paid money to have sex with teenage girls who were trafficked for that purpose.

Director Patel (56:56)

Anyone worried about that is just jealous, dude. Sounds fucking awesome to me. Look, the point is, the FBI is focused on investigating cases that are relevant to the American people and reflect their concerns. I am personally overseeing a case as a perfect example that right now.

James Corbett (57:13)

Oh, really? What's that, Jimmy?

Director Patel (57:16)

The FBI has recently reopened the Jimmy Hoffa case. We're gonna solve the fucking Hoffa murder, dude. It's gonna be fucking tight.

James Corbett (57:24)

You're joking.

Director Patel (57:27)

Do I look like I'm joking? Okay, no. You can't see me right now, but I've got my super serious face on. Yeah, dude. Jimmy Hoffa.

James Corbett (57:34)

You really think the American people care more about Jimmy hoffa's disappearance in 1975 than the Epstein sex trafficking ring?

Director Patel (57:44)

Are you being fucking serious right now, dude? Of course they care more about Jimmy Hoffa. There have been two major Hollywood movies made about him. Jack Nicholson played him in one. Al Pacino played him in the other. How many movies have there been about Epstein? Zero. Who played Epstein in these zero movies. Zero mc zero sendatsu.

James Corbett (58:06)

I didn't think that's a good gauge of what's relevant to the American people. Movies?

Director Patel (58:12)

Really? How many Hollywood movies are made about a case doesn't reflect its importance. Really? Really.

James Corbett (58:18)

Okay, first of all, Americans love a good mobster movie. I don't think a movie about A bunch of teenage girls being trafficked would be pleasant to watch.

Director Patel (58:28)

Are you kidding? Dude, I'd watch the shit out of that.

James Corbett (58:31)

I'm starting to get the sense that you don't see what Epstein did as particularly a bad crime.

Director Patel (58:37)

I mean, it's against the law for sure, but essentially, victimless crimes here.

James Corbett (58:42)

Victimless? The girls who were trafficked.

Director Patel (58:48)

I mean, they got that sex, right?

James Corbett (58:50)

Oh, my God.

Director Patel (58:53)

Look, the point is, everybody's talking about Jimmy Hoffa. Everywhere you go, it's Hoffa this, Hoffa that. Where is he? What happened? Which was the better performance, Nicholson or Pacino? That's all my Twitter feed is.

James Corbett (59:04)

Dude, none of this is true.

Director Patel (59:07)

Fuck you. Yes, it is. And the FBI is going to finally end this national nightmare and get to the bottom of it. And then we're all going to get our dicks sucked.

James Corbett (59:20)

Also untrue, I suspect.

Director Patel (59:23)

Maybe you know something.

James Corbett (59:25)

About what?

Director Patel (59:26)

About Jimmy Hoffa. What are you hiding, Jimmy? You have the first. The same first name. That's shady as fuck. Dude.

James Corbett (59:33)

I was a kid when he disappeared.

Director Patel (59:36)

Okay, but for real, do you know anything? Like, we literally have no leak. What was the word on the playground after it happened?

James Corbett (59:44)

I assure you, I know nothing.

Director Patel (59:47)

Fuck, dude. Looks like we're gonna have to get some shroom gummies and microdose our way through this investigation. We're gonna find the fucker or fuckers who did this. All right, man. Always cool. Good. Hank Real out there. All right. Too many phony ass. Maybe we'll arrest them next. We can do whatever we want. Peace out.
