Episode Overview

This episode centers on the controversy sparked by Dave Chappelle performing in Saudi Arabia, the ensuing criticism—especially from Bill Maher—and Chappelle's retaliatory jokes regarding U.S. and Israeli hypocrisy.

Key Discussion Points

1. Bill Maher, Dave Chappelle & the Saudi Arabia Comedy Festival (01:32 – 13:10)

• Bill Maher’s Critique:
  Bill Maher criticizes Chappelle’s statement that he can “speak more freely” in Saudi Arabia than in America, questioning its truth due to Saudi restrictions on speech about Muhammad and the royal family.
  • “Do your honk on Muhammad… You can’t talk about Muhammad or the leader.” (02:25)
• Chappelle’s Response:
  Chappelle fires back, accusing Maher of hypocrisy and focusing only on certain regimes’ crimes while ignoring Israeli actions.
  • "I've never said this publicly, but fuck that guy. I'm so fucking tired of this little smug cracker ass commentary..." (03:36)
  • Chappelle jokes about Khashoggi’s murder vs. journalists killed by Israel:
    • “Look, bro, Israel's killed 240 journalists in the last three months. So I didn't know y’all was still counting.” (04:37)
• Dore’s Take:
  Jimmy challenges Chappelle's claim about speech freedom, highlighting the NDA/contract comedians must sign in Saudi Arabia.
  • “Artists shall not prepare or perform any material that may be considered to degrade, defame… the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including its leadership, its public figures, its culture, or its people.” (08:19)
  • Dore admits he wouldn’t have gone, out of fear for his safety, but would never sign such a contract (09:55).

Notable Quote:

“My problem… is that he doesn’t need the money. He didn’t need to go there to do that show. And he said he had more freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia than he has in the United States.”
— Jimmy Dore (05:22, 07:55)

Memorable Moment:

Chappelle's biting comeback about Israel's killing of journalists, flipping the criticism back on Maher and the U.S. media (04:37).

2. Double-Standards, Free Speech, and Hypocrisy (11:58 – 17:21)

• Contracts and Censorship:
  Dore illustrates that Saudi agreements restrict comedians far more than anything he's seen in the U.S.
• Debating American vs. Saudi Repression:
  Kurt argues America is worse, referencing media cover-ups (e.g., Epstein), while Dore concedes the U.S. is a major bad actor but emphasizes the chilling effect of explicit, government-mandated censorship.
  • “I agree with you that the United States is a bigger terrorist than Saudi Arabia, that’s for sure.” (13:28)
• Tim Dillon’s Example:
  Jimmy praises Tim Dillon, who openly admitted to taking the Saudi gig for the money and made as much fun of censorship as he could before being fired from the festival.
  • “I am doing this because they’re paying me a large sum of money… enough money to look the other way if something bad is happening.” — Tim Dillon (15:03)
• Comedic Lines and Integrity:
  Dore and Kurt acknowledge taking gigs for money but draw moral boundaries around explicit censorship and complicity.

---

3. Chappelle’s Power, Integrity, and “Co-Option” Bit (17:21 – 21:04)

• Chappelle’s Closing Bit:
  Jimmy and Kurt play a clip where Chappelle jokes about establishing a “code word” so the audience knows if he’s ever compromised:
  • “What if these niggas trip me up somehow, co-opt me, and then make me say the things that they want me to say? We can't have that… The code word is ‘I stand with Israel.’ Thank you very much and good night.” (18:15)
• Chappelle’s Rank Among Comedians:
  Discussion about where Chappelle ranks compared to Carlin, Hicks, Regan, etc.

Notable Quote:

“The code word is ‘I stand with Israel.’ Thank you very much and good night.”
— Dave Chappelle (as played on the show) (18:15)

Memorable Moment:

Chappelle’s “code word" joke—critiquing the contemporary expectation that celebrities toe establishment lines—lands hard and is praised by Dore as one of the best moments. (18:15)

---

• StopAntisemitism’s “Antisemite of the Year”
  Jimmy and Kurt lampoon the awarding of “Antisemite of the Year” by the group Stop Antisemitism (to Tucker Carlson for 2025), critiquing what constitutes antisemitism.
• Jewish Identity & "Semite" Linguistics:
  They discuss who “real Semites” are; Jimmy claims Palestinians are the true Semites, while most Israeli Jews are Ashkenazi from Eastern Europe.
  • “Most of the people in Israel… come from Europe. They’re not actually Semites. That’s the problem.” (27:43)
• Weaponization of Antisemitism:
  They highlight former Israeli minister Shulamit Aloni’s candid admission (played at 37:35) that accusations of antisemitism (and references to the Holocaust) are a political weapon to silence criticism of Israel:
  • “It’s a trick. We always use it... As soon as someone criticizes Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust or call them antisemitic.” (37:35)

Notable Quote:

“It’s a trick. We always use it... As soon as someone criticizes Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust or call them antisemitic.”
— Shulamit Aloni, former Israeli minister (played by Jimmy, 37:35)

Memorable Moment:

Extended riff on “support the troops but not the tropes” and how terms like “antisemite” and “platforming” have been neutered (30:07 – 30:28).

---

• Epstein Photo File Deletions:
  Discussion of the DOJ quietly removing Epstein files featuring Trump, followed by official rationalizations (41:52).

Additional Highlights

• Comedy’s Role & Integrity:
  Dore repeatedly defends the sanctity of comedy as a tool for challenging power, admiring comics who punch up and calling out those who accept government-imposed limits.

• Neutering of Language:
  The hosts observe how phrases like “platforming” and “antisemitism” have lost force due to overuse and misapplication, drawing parallels with woke culture’s excesses.

• Epstein/Elite Commentary:
  Running jokes about the Epstein saga, collusion between elites, and the seeming impossibility of true accountability for the powerful ("DOJ redacts the files, both parties are dirty" (52:47)).

---

Summary

This episode delivers a fiery, no-holds-barred examination of hypocrisy in free speech debates, the ways accusations of antisemitism are leveraged to shield Israeli policy, and the incessant corruption among American elites. Chappelle’s willingness to skewer sacred cows is both praised and critiqued, especially in light of his Saudi appearance and his devastating joke on Israel’s actions. Dore positions himself as a principled critic, holding both U.S. and foreign power to account, skeptical of narratives from Maher and the mainstream. The episode is laced with gallows humor, disillusionment, and a demand for more honesty—especially from those with money and influence.

---

If You Missed the Episode...

• The Chappelle–Maher–Saudi Arabia drama is used as a prism for broader questions about speech, complicity, and the real boundaries set by wealth and power.
• Dore is unsparing toward both U.S. and foreign hypocrisy, and situates the “culture war” over comedy in the wider context of violence against journalists and government duplicity.
• Fans of irreverent, anti-establishment comedy and political commentary will find plenty to chew on—especially at the volatile intersection of comedy, media, and geopolitical double-standards.

[Kurt Metzger]

We can't afford why he's fomenting this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Watch and see as his jack golf the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's the chim.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I don't know if you saw Dave Chappelle after the big fight. I watched the Jake Paul get his jaw broken in two places. You knew that was bound to happen sooner. Sooner or later. I thought it was going to happen with Mike Tyson, but Mike Tyson did not age well. His legs looked never. Anyway, the point is he fought a real heavyweight. Got his jaw broken right after they had Dave Chappelle has his new special I didn't even see a promo for. That's how big Dave Chappelle is. He didn't even have to advertise his special because he'd have to promote it. And so right after he took a shot at Bill Maher because Bill Maher said this. So this is Bill Maher calling out Saudi Dave Chappelle's trip to Saudi Arabia. Let's watch.

[Kurt Metzger]

Dave Chappelle said it was in the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Press today saying that you can speak more freely over here than in America.

[Kurt Metzger]

I don't know if that's true.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, it's not true. Do your honk on Muhammad. Okay. So he's. He's right about that. So Bill Maher is right about that.

[Kurt Metzger]

I think you could say less here because I don't know if you Remember Saudi Arabia? Never. Oh, you can't talk about Muhammad or the leader. Okay? Here you can't talk about Muhammad or the leader or anybody else or say women don't have dicks.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ok, hold on. Let's keep going.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, well, he's a Muslim, David.

[Jimmy Dore]

I understand.

[Kurt Metzger]

So it depends on who you are.

[Jimmy Dore]

And what you want to talk about. Now you go there, there's a pre decide like there' you buy into. Do you want to work here?

[Kurt Metzger]

Then don't talk about these two things. Other than that, my act is pretty.

[Jimmy Dore]

Offensive to most people.

[Kurt Metzger]

So it's going to be interesting to see how that feels.

[Jimmy Dore]

You know, to me that's just, that's just an opportunity. Your act is not offensive.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's edgy.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's offensive. So Dave Chappelle clapped back at that. Dave Chappelle. And let's watch, you know, and Bill.

[Kurt Metzger]

Maher, the famous comedian. I've known Bill since I was like 18, 19 years old. And I've never said this publicly, but fuck that guy. I'm so fucking tired of this little smug cracker ass commentary. These act like because I did a comedy festival in Saudi Arabia, I somehow betrayed my principles. Well, no, no, I know I didn't. I know. No, no, no, no, no. Let me, come on, everybody, let me do this. And I'm sure. No. All right now everybody calm down. No, I'm sure I'm right. First of all, what did they say?

[Jimmy Dore]

They said.

[Kurt Metzger]

They said. Well, they said, well, they said, well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. I'm sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion, but. And I was like, you know, period.

[Jimmy Dore]

And also.

[Kurt Metzger]

I mean, look, bro, Israel's killed 240 journalists in the last three months. So I didn't know y' all was still counting.

[Jimmy Dore]

Now that is a great joke.

[Kurt Metzger]

I thought of it, Jimmy, because that's what the thing that was I was going to think of.

[Jimmy Dore]

I can't believe I didn't think think of it. I do a whole chunk on this. I can't believe Kurt didn't think of it. Dave Chappelle thought of it, which is why he doesn't have to advertise his specials.

[Kurt Metzger]

Something bothered me and I couldn't think of it. But yeah. Oh, and by the way, wow, not a journalist. An intel guy. Adnan Khashoggi, his uncle worked with Epstein. So the only. They're only upset about a journalist being killed when they're not a real journalist.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Otherwise they're yeah, he was a CIA. He was a CIA journalist. Khashoggi. So he's in. He's playing that game. And you, you gotta realize that when you get caught being a double agent working with the intelligence, you're a fair game. You're no longer just a journalist when you're working with the deep state. But anyway, that doesn't. My problem with my. So that's a great joke. My problem. And I'm glad to see him call out the Zionist Bill, Bill Maher for completely ignoring all the journalists that Israel's killed. They've killed 250 of them and nobody seems to care. That doesn't register on Bill. Bill Maher's. So anyway, Peter Mosses. Yeah. So here's the problem I have with Dave Chappelle is that he doesn't need the money. He didn't need to go there to do that show. And he said he had more freedom of speech in Saudi Arabia than he has in the United States. Well, did he ever have to sign a contract in the United States with the United States government, saying. Agreeing to not talk about certain topics. Because if I had to do that as a comedian to do, let's say I got hired to do a show at the White House and they said, you can't talk about this or that, I would go, sure, I'd sign it. And the first thing I'd do is talk about it. Because that's what comedians. Because that's what comedians are supposed to do. That's what I did when I got hired by the US Government and they sent me to Afghanistan to entertain the troops. And the first night there, I was told by the commander of the, of the base, you can't make fun of the president. Don't make fun of George Bush. Don't make fun of the president. Don't make fun of the war. First thing I did was make fun of George Bush. The first thing I did.

[Kurt Metzger]

What happened?

[Jimmy Dore]

And they all laughed. Oh, and they all laughed. And, and what? And, and you know why they laughed? Because everybody hates their boss. Doesn't matter. Okay, so that's, that was my joke about it. It was. Went well. I think if you're a comedian and you agreed and it depends if you're a struggling comedian and you have to take a corporate or you got to do a college and they say don't swear, that's a totally different scenario. You're trying to, you're trying to pay your rent, living by your wits as an artist. That's totally different. But the A guy like Dave Chappelle, who's got more money than I'll ever see in my life, he'll. He. He drops more money in his couch than I have in my bank account. And for him to go there. For him to go there and take that money and then say. Because here's what they had to sign.

[Kurt Metzger]

He get attacked on stage in America and not Saudi Arabia.

[Jimmy Dore]

Artists shall not prepare or perform. Yeah, because he didn't fucking say anything on stage in Saudi Arabia. That was controversial in Saudi Arabia. That's why. Because he didn't have the balls to do that. He didn't have the balls to do that. And if he would have, he would have been.

[Kurt Metzger]

What do I get out of having the balls?

[Jimmy Dore]

Artists shall not prepare or perform any material. That's not an argument. Artists shall not prepare or perform any material that may be considered to degrade, defame, or bring into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, embarrassment, or ridicule the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including its leadership, its public figures, its culture, or its people. So anything. You can't make fun of the government, anybody who's a public figure, you can't make fun of the culture or any of the people. You can't make fun of anything. Can you imagine if you had to do a show in America and they said, you can't make fun of the president. You can't make fun of any public figure. You can't make fun of anybody in the culture. You can't make fun of. No, that's. That's. Kurt, stop it. That's fucking bullshit. I've never fucking had that. I've never. I've done. I always sign a contract.

[Kurt Metzger]

I wouldn't say. Because you.

[Jimmy Dore]

Stop, stop, stop. These are you. You are. These are the straw man argument. You were. You played a college where they said, you can't make fun of the President of the United States, you can't make fun of the government, you can't make fun of American culture, and you can't make fun of. Of public figures or. Or the people in America. You had to sign.

[Kurt Metzger]

You ever. I got fired from that for violating it. I've been fired.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, Kurt.

[Kurt Metzger]

America, we've all. Freedom now.

[Jimmy Dore]

We've all been. Have you ever had to sign a contract that said that stuff? It's a yes or no question. Yes or no question.

[Kurt Metzger]

I've seen the contracts. They're dumber than that. A lot.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay.

[Kurt Metzger]

By a lot.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. Let me. I don't have to ask why you act. Why you acting like I'm not have been a comedian for 40 fucking years. You don't tell me to ask around. So let me finish this segment, and then you could. You could rebut with your. Your incorrect straw, manning. So the kingdom. So. So that's crazy. So anybody who does that is selling out for. So I don't know what. But I would never. If I. If I. If they offered me a million dollars to go to Saudi Arabia, I would go to Saudi Arabia, but the first thing I would do is I would make jokes about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but I wouldn't go because I'd be afraid that they'd kill me. So I wouldn't go. The Saudi royal family, legal system or government, you can't make fun of any of it. You can't make fun of their legal system. You can't make fun of their religion. Any religion, religious tradition, religious figures or religious practice. So that's what Dave Chappelle agreed to. And so that. So when he pretends that the only criticism that he was getting were coming from genocidal Zionists like Bill Maher, that's a. That's. He is misframing the argument. Now, he's right in his argument against Bill Maher, and it's a great joke, but he's also wrong because he leaves out 90% of the criticism coming at him. And 90% of the criticism was talked about. This. This is what. And so no matter what they say, no matter how they try to spin it, no matter how many straw men they try to put up, they're never going to get over that they did this. And he didn't need the money, so I don't know why he did that. He didn't get. He never got canceled in the United States. They never took down one. All that happened was there was about 50 Netflix morons walked out one day, and they protested outside Netflix. And Netflix said, hey, you get back to work or you're going to get fired. And that was the end of it.

[Kurt Metzger]

No, it wasn't. A guy rushed to stage with a knife that identified as a gun.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, I'm talking about again. Now Kurt comes in with a bad argument because now he's mixing things. I'm talking about freedom of speech and the. I've been attacked on stage, too, Kurt. Everybody's had a fucking event happen to them on stage. That is not what we're talking about. That's a different conversation. Hey, you ever been attacked on stage? Yes, a lot of people have. This is the. This is the. This is about. Hey, has the Government ever told you what you can and cannot say in the United States on stage and you abided by it. And that's the argument we're having. So if you want to talk about that in another segment, we could talk about it, but that's not what we're talking about in this segment.

[Kurt Metzger]

I used to do my job so I couldn't work for two fucking days.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's this. That's this. And I know you're sensitive because you did get.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, no, I got fucked real hard. I'd rather have my head chopped off than what they fucking did.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ok, I. Kurt, I understand that and I'm sympathetic to you being unfairly a victim of the woke culture. There's no doubt that there have been woke culture here. And. But I'm. This is a. This takes it to another level when you sign an agreement with a government to not. To not say stuff that you should say as a comedian. So that's my problem.

[Kurt Metzger]

Why should I say as a comedian? I work in America. I played the Kennedy Center. That's worse. I say that's worse. Okay, so what, they just covered up Epstein again? We're worse than Saudi Arabia.

[Jimmy Dore]

We are worse. I agree with you. I agree.

[Kurt Metzger]

I would take you to America. I would do that.

[Jimmy Dore]

I agree that. I agree. I agree with you that the United States is, is a bigger terrorist than Saudi Arabia. That's for sure.

[Kurt Metzger]

He killed the 9, 11 Saudis that crazy prince did.

[Jimmy Dore]

So, so anyway, what this guy says is the money is coming straight from the crown prince who actively executes journalists, people with non lethal drug offenses, bloggers, etc. Without due process. A lot of you just can't say, say anything anymore. Comedians are doing the festival. They had to adhere to censorship rules to do it. So here's what I like about Tim Dylan. I like a lot of things about Tim Dillon.

[Kurt Metzger]

Your show's great. He does great work that day.

[Jimmy Dore]

But here is what every one of those committee, if you got invited, this is what you should have did. And he. This is what he did. Watch this. This is what got him kicked out of that festival.

[Kurt Metzger]

What? I'm not here to ruin the good time that everyone's having.

[Jimmy Dore]

Do I have issues with some of the policies towards women? Towards the gays?

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. Towards the freedom of speech?

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, of course I do. But I believe in my own financial well being and I think you better.

[Kurt Metzger]

Start believing in that because when Peter.

[Jimmy Dore]

Thiel puts all of you in a cage, you're going to want some way.

[Kurt Metzger]

To get out of that.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm not going to tell you how.

[Kurt Metzger]

Much you're paying me. It doesn't matter. Pay me $375,000 for one show. Now, a lot of other people are getting 1.6 million. That's not me. I'm not in that bracket. Others are getting 150.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why are they doing it? Here's the point. I am doing this because they're paying.

[Kurt Metzger]

Me a large sum of money. They're paying me enough money to look the other way if something bad is happening.

[Jimmy Dore]

To your left, look to your right. If, for example, I'm at a breakfast and I see someone get grabbed and they start hitting them with that, you know that, that big stick. I don't know if it's bamboo or whatever it is.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's kind of a wood, but it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Kind of snaps back.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's perfect for a cane.

[Jimmy Dore]

If I see someone getting it, I.

[Kurt Metzger]

Will look the other way. If I look the other way and.

[Jimmy Dore]

I see someone being behind it, meaning they're chopping a hand off, that might be interesting to just kind of see actually how they do it.

[Kurt Metzger]

Because I think they do it kind.

[Jimmy Dore]

Of a sanitary way. If they're chopping hand, I might look down.

[Kurt Metzger]

If I'm looking at the floor and.

[Jimmy Dore]

I see some ey beggar grabbing at me trying to get my money, I will look up to the heavens. And if it the heavens, I see a drone flying over, I will look the other way. Okay, that's fun. So. So there you go. I grabbed that. I grabbed. I grabbed that clip from do dissidents. They did an excellent segment on that. I grabbed that clip from him that came from a tweet Twitter account. Patina, I guess. Anyway, so they then fired him from the festival. And all the. None of you comedians said anything about it. They didn't make a joke about it. They didn't. They didn't not go in solidarity. They just. They just went and nobody here. And then they all tried to cover their ass.

[Kurt Metzger]

And I'm jealous. He got asked and I did.

[Jimmy Dore]

And I'm also jealous. I know the guy who booked it. He booked me twice in Montreal. He didn't. He didn't even know. Not even get an email, Nothing.

[Kurt Metzger]

I like to think I would take it. I played the Indian poop throwing festival and I know people are going to call me a hypocrite, but I took the money. Sorry.

[Jimmy Dore]

I would play the Indian poop play.

[Kurt Metzger]

So the bag Jimmy.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. So I. It's. So again, it's not the biggest deal in the world for me. With the people who did the Saudi Arabia festival, but just. It crosses my. My boundaries as a comedian. That's all. That's all. So. But I still love Dave Chappelle. And most of the people who did that festival, I. They're all hilarious. I'm not going to stop liking them.

[Kurt Metzger]

Just like I'm not Israeli. Shit, dude. I'm not shit for Israelis. Guilty.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, so here, here, here's the way he ended the show. And it's great. Here's a. Here's. And this is. I mean, I. I love Dave Chappelle. He's probably the goat. He's up there with Carlin for sure. But here, here we. Here we go.

[Kurt Metzger]

The fear that I have for myself, that I need you to protect me from, is co. Option. My voice has become more powerful than I intended it to be. And I cannot let these niggas do me like Charlie Kirk or even worse than that. What if these niggas trip me up somehow co op me and then make me say the things that they want me to say? We can't have that. So just in case we need a.

[Jimmy Dore]

Code.

[Kurt Metzger]

It'S gotta be something that I can say so that if I say it, you know, that these niggas got me and don't listen to nothing that I say after I say those words. But don't tell anybody what it is. But it's gotta be something that. You know what I mean, That I would never say. Oh, I know what the code is. The code word is I stand with Israel. Thank you very much and good night. I wrote for his show, you know.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I didn't know that.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, I wrote the sketch with the Star wars where the. They found out that the Padawan learners and the Jedi were being molested by their handler and Vader had to show where he was touched on a Darth Vader action figure.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I didn't know that Dave was Yoda.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. Well, again, I still. Dave Chappelle still might be the greatest comedian of all time. He's. He's certainly up there and he's still amazing to watch. Always enjoy his shows. And so I, And I super appreciate that he did those two jokes. I super. I just, you know, I just.

[Kurt Metzger]

No would believe you unless he did. What's that, 242. The most journalists in modern history were killed by Israel in here. Now, if I tell people they, like. But Chappelle said it, so now it's out there. You know what I mean?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Yep. So. And again, he's so. He's doing a great service to the national conversation. And which, you know, which is what I mean, you don't have to do any of that to be a comedian. You could be like Brian Regan and just be the funniest guy that you've ever seen. You, you could just go up and be the guy who makes you laugh harder than nobody's ever made me laugh harder than Brian Regan to the point where I've been in a room and it goes quiet because nobody could catch their breath, literally. Or people can't catch their breath.

[Kurt Metzger]

He's very universally good.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's so funny.

[Kurt Metzger]

Tells my favorite. Brian Regan is tremendous. If you're like down his back.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, good. Yes. And you know, but, but that's, he's a different kind of comedian, Brian Regan, than George Carlin or Dave Chappelle. And so for what Brian Regan does, there's nobody comes close. He's the funniest guy in the world, I think, you know, like, he's funnier than even Jerry Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld was a big hero of mine. I love Jerry Seinfeld's comedy. I'm sorry that he's a Zionist, but I think Brian Regan surpasses him. But anyway. Yes, yes, but anyway. So when it comes to like Dave Chappelle, I think he put him in the same kind of category as George Carlin and those types of people and Bill Hicks. What's that?

[Kurt Metzger]

I like, I like Chappelle better than Carlin the whole time. Not that I'm against Garland.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, I like him. Again, it depends on what day you catch me. Yeah, you know, but I, I, I was always a Bill Hicks fan because I saw him so many times live. I saw him probably 40 times live and I never saw anybody doing anything like that when I saw Bill Hicks. And pretty much till this day, he kind of nobody really did what he did. So he's in his own kind of category too. But anyway, thank you again. So my wrap up of this is thank you, Dave Chappelle, for doing those two jokes. I super, super appreciate it. And I'll forever, you know, be a fan. And I'm not going to let his, you know, he's got too much money and so you get out of, you get out of touch. He's had, he's had as, as I think Russ said, he's had too much money for too long and when that happens, you're gonna lose something that's that.

[Kurt Metzger]

Just the only guy don't get what he went through, dude. The people that came to visit him when he ran to Africa. And the story made no sense at the time I was there. It made no sense. They were like, you could do whatever you want on the show, Dave. Well, but years later, because Jim Brewer talked about it, I find out the story that he got a visit from Oprah and Obama and we think the guy. The Nation of Islam guy, but I can't confirm, but I found that out since then. So that freaked him out. He got. And he had a joke about this. When he got the money, he goes, you know, once you get the money, they go, dave Chappelle, meet the real white people. And they pull a curtain back and show you he saw that and it freaked him the fuck out. So, like. And he's been wrong about things since then. But, like, Russ is a very secular. Russ is a secular materialist, and he doesn't get the level of fucked up that is. Very few people do. But Chappelle saw it. He saw it, and it freaked him out. And he just ran to South Africa. You don't go there for mental health. South Africa. You ever see Oprah going, why didn't you take the money, Dave? You ever go back and watch.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, Watch her.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's creepy. Since we know Oprah's probably a human trafficker now.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what is that real creepy? So what does that. What does that mean? Exactly.

[Kurt Metzger]

John of God, the guy that was breeding children to sell.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

That she pushed on her show. Deepak Chopra showing up in the Epstein files right now. Oprah's a piece of. And Barry Crimmings told me, year, Yo. Barry Crimmings goes, I did Oprah. And she comes out and goes, this is the most male victims of sexual abuse ever in one place. And he goes, what, are we setting a world record?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

And he always told me something off about that. He was right. Barry was fucking right. He told me there's no left in America. I didn't believe him. I went, you could have fooled me. I got canceled. He was right. He told me you were good. I got your number from Joe because Barry Crimmins recommended you. And he told me there ain't nothing with her harming children that he wouldn't believe after all the shit he's seen. He didn't tell me nothing fantastical, but I met the people he helped and the problems real bad.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what. What do you. So when you say that he got the call from Obama and they went to visit him. They went to visit him. They're not the.

[Kurt Metzger]

This is before.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so what Was that. Was that to. What was that to do? Was that to try to intimidate him? Like, hey, you better play ball, yo.

[Kurt Metzger]

You know, I bet they didn't intimidate him. I bet. I bet you look, first of all, you're like, am I dreaming? That's how I would imagine a visit. Like that would be. Okay. And they probably just talk nice to you, and then you're just sitting there like, did these. Did they just come to my house and ask me for a favor? And what happens if I don't? I mean, I could see the whole thought process. It sounds terrifying. Now. Jim Brewer goes, he wasn't the same Dave when he came back. He didn't imply he was a clone or some dumb shit. But who would be the same after that? Not me.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. All right. If you like to hear my jokes about our government and our culture and.

[Kurt Metzger]

Our religion not as moral as the Saudis.

[Jimmy Dore]

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, wow.

[Jimmy Dore]

He was. He. He won the Anti Summit of the Year award. Is that amazing?

[Kurt Metzger]

Even more than the isis. I don't know. We're friends, I guess. Even more than the guy named Adolf Hitler in Namibia. Who's the president of Namibia?

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, he's the.

[Kurt Metzger]

He's the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ed. I'm just talking about the 2025. I'm hurt that I wasn't included, but maybe it's just a typo or something. I don't know. I don't. But here's my problem. I don't think Zionists or the people in Israel are Semites. Right? They're just smites. That's what I call them. They think, as in, you know, they're cutting off their nose to smite their face kind of a thing. And that's really what keeps the lights on in the Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's offices.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's called ethnic rhinoplasty and it's there for a reason.

[Jimmy Dore]

In fact, I support all Semites. None of them actually come from Eastern Europe, which is where.

[Kurt Metzger]

It's a language grouping.

[Jimmy Dore]

Really. Yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

Which is where Semites.

[Jimmy Dore]

Most of the people in Israel come from. They come. Most of the Jews in your. In Israel come from Europe. They're not actually Semites. That's the problem.

[Kurt Metzger]

Which is Russia, as a matter of fact. Jimmy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Which is Right. Which is why most of them had. Most of the prime ministers changed their last name. You know what Benjamin Netanyahu's last name is really Mikowski. So he had to change it to sound more. Not Jewish. He had to change it to sound more Semitic.

[Kurt Metzger]

You know the black Israelites that people laugh at? His name means gift from God. So it's no different than the Muslim blacks going, I'm El Shabaz Mo. It's exactly on par with that. But you don't laugh at them, do you? Better not.

[Jimmy Dore]

So, no, I don't support the Khazars, the Khazar smites. I do support them going back to Poland. How about that? Palestinians are the real Semites. That's the irony here. I was asked recently, they go, do you. Why. Why do you think the. Do you think Hamas is Anti Semitic. And I'm like, no, because they're actually Semites. The Palestinians are Semites. You know who isn't? The people who live in Israel. They can't even have a DNA test, right? Kurt, you got to get a court ordered if you want to take a DNA test. Why do you think that?

[Kurt Metzger]

Again, it's because of a language thing. And. And the modern Hebrew that they. Somebody told me was a dead language. They resurrected. That's not true. They all spoke Aramaic, but they wanted to alienate the Arabs, so they created a new language and they kidnapped Mizrahi Jewish kids just like in Canada with the. With the, you know, Indians and would make them speak the new language. All this stuff you heard that we did to Native Americans here and Canada did. They did to Jews. There were always Jews in Palestine. They didn't want Zionists there.

[Jimmy Dore]

They didn't. A lot of problems that cause all the problems. And so when you realize that Palestinians are the real semites, that. That 1000% destroys the label anti Semite. And I recommend that all you all employ this in table conversation over the holidays. So pop. Done. Podcaster Tucker Carlson has been named anti Semite of the year by Stop Antisemitism, that's the Jewish civil rights group cited his platforming of controversial figures and promotion of anti Semitic tropes. That's the worst thing when you promote a trope. Oh, and platform.

[Kurt Metzger]

And that's a woke term, platforming, isn't it? I thought the woke. Right. Was talking.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, it is. It. Actually, you know what? I. So it's very tricky. You got to be careful because it's really good to support the troops, but don't support the tropes. It's very. To one slip of the tongue. And before you know you're anti Semitic, you don't even know.

[Kurt Metzger]

That's a great point.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

Good, usable information.

[Jimmy Dore]

Thank you. By the way, that was. Carlson won through a public vote. Did you know that was a public vote?

[Kurt Metzger]

Was it rigged?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. You know, good or bad? It just feels good to have an award on the mantle. That's what I say, doesn't it?

[Kurt Metzger]

No, I never get any good awards, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here's the. So here's the reason they gave for his nomination. Stop anti Semitism highlights Carlson's October 2025 interview with White nationalist Nick Fuentes where he gave no rebuttal to claims of organized Jewry. I didn't even know that was a thing.

[Kurt Metzger]

I think he said jewelry.

[Jimmy Dore]

I thought he said jewelry. He said jewelry. That's A that's a word. Jewry. That's a word. He learned something new every. I didn't even know that was a he. He claims that organized Jewry harming society and called Christian Zionists like Senator Ted Cruz a brain virus. Well he is. I mean Carlson, I didn't even know that organized jewelry was a thing. I didn't even know People said it's.

[Kurt Metzger]

Like old timey talk that was probably invented by Zionists to drum up anti.

[Jimmy Dore]

Semitism so they could.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, I don't believe it when I hear someone say it. I think they're working for Zionists.

[Jimmy Dore]

Carlson. Yeah, well that's a lot of people have said that about. Carlson also stated there is no such thing as God's chosen people.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well that is true Bible. They're chosen to be the bloodline that Christ comes from. Now if you're Jewish you don't believe he's a messiah but that's what chosen it doesn't mean kicking people out of their homes. It means your bloodline will produce the Messiah. That's what chosen for that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, is that what that means?

[Kurt Metzger]

Yes. So nobody read the goddamn book they're all quoting. It makes me sick.

[Jimmy Dore]

I, I find it ironic you use the GD when referring to the Bible.

[Kurt Metzger]

I know but I feel like that's a smaller sin compared to covering up the Epstein files.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I'm just trying to watch my swearing because I know people watch with their kids. Isn't I know. Does that make me lame? I don't know.

[Kurt Metzger]

Carlson, keep your kids from going to Epstein Island. I'm glad I swore and helped them.

[Jimmy Dore]

Carlson also stated there is no such thing as God's chosen people while critiquing Israel which the group views as replacement theology. What the effing fish. What they, they, they say that's replacement ID theology. When he says there's no such thing as God's chosen people. What do you think God has favorites? Do you really think that God doesn't have favorites? God creates every human being equal.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well if you're a Christian, every single person, you don't matter. Your bloodline doesn't matter. And by the way, that Khazarian thing, the person who came up with that was a Jewish guy who's trying to separate the religion from the ethnicity. He had good intentions but he didn't know that actual Israel wants to make them the same just like the Nazis. So that Kazarian mafia thing, I wouldn't dwell on that. Anybody that's not it was invented by a guy with good Intentions, it's used now as nonsense.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they claim that Tucker, Tucker Carlson's platform turns extremist dog whistles into broadcast.

[Kurt Metzger]

Ready talking points dog whistle. You can hear it in the normal human spectrum of hearing a dog. Dog whistle like a racist dog whistle. Dog whistle only a dog can hear. So when stupid wokey said it that could Rachel dog whistle. I go, well, I don't hear it. I'm not racist.

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you right? Very. Well, that's a great point. Kurt.

[Kurt Metzger]

Kurt. Why am I the only person I ever heard say I like Kurt started.

[Jimmy Dore]

To show off tough, but he's really making up for it. He's coming back strong.

[Kurt Metzger]

The dog whistle to Saudi Arabia.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's like, he's like that one, that long distance runner who got tripped on the last lap and then she got up and won the race. That's what Kurt's doing right now.

[Kurt Metzger]

I never heard of it, but it sounds like it's exactly me. So thank you.

[Jimmy Dore]

So RT put this out, this little video from rt. Let's watch. Tucker Carlson, long time media personality, now reinvented independent journalist. Carlson uses his platform Ukraine, as you may have heard, is led by a man called Solinsky, sweaty and rat like.

[Jeff Bridges]

A persecutor of Christians.

[Jimmy Dore]

A friend of black rock Jesus shows up and he starts talking about the people in power. And I can just sort of picture the scene in a lamplit room with a bunch of guys sitting around eating hummus thinking about what do we do? And there's always one guy with the bright idea and I can just hear him say I've got an idea, why don't we just kill him? Well, Christian Science, like what is that? And I could just say for my self, I dislike them more than anybody. The main challenge to that, the big challenge to that is organized Jewry in America. For over two years, Israel has murdered tens of thousands of children on purpose. So, so did that. Was it that Jewish organization that put that video out?

[Kurt Metzger]

Yes, of course.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. So that. So they were just retweeting it. Art. Art. Yeah, that was hard. I was going.

[Kurt Metzger]

And they want to remind people that Nick organized jury Fuentes, besides his DNA test probably says he's Ashkenazi. Besides that though that's neither nor there. He says it's ridiculous. The idea Israel killed Charlie Kirk, that Jew hater has the same position as Erica Kirk and Ben Shapiro, which I warned Ian Carroll and I warned Sam.

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't rub it into Sam. Wait, wait, wait. What did you just say? Yeah, say it again, say it again.

[Kurt Metzger]

Nick Fuentes when people say Israel killed Charlie Kirk, he goes, where's the evidence? That's ridiculous. You sound schizo. So now you know who Nick works for. Like I told everybody I know. And warn them he's at least blackmail asset. I don't know who the fuck he's gonna say the thing he's got to say to keep himself in and on. Tucker Carlson. He said that stupid Jewry thing you've never heard of. You've never heard of it.

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Kurt Metzger]

And a younger guy than you is saying it. And so then this dipshit intel organization can go because every point Tucker made was fantastic. But let's say you're a reasonable person. You heard Jewry, and you happen to know that's an asymmetric term. He's a human biohazard. If you can't see that, I can't help you. But you should be able to see it.

[Jimmy Dore]

So you're saying the theory is that Nick Fuentes is there working for Israel to make people who are opposed to Israel look like anti Semites.

[Kurt Metzger]

Look, I guess at the end of the day, we all work for Israel, but I'm saying he's there to make people look bad. You've watched him do it. There's that candidate that he, that Max.

[Jimmy Dore]

Blumenthal told us about.

[Kurt Metzger]

Max Blumenthal told me about him urging people in the Capitol on January 6th. He has never answered for that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, well, maybe we'll get him on. Maybe we'll get him on. I'm sure he's open to come back. Come on. Not back on. I, I, I ducked out of that, that first one because I was not ready. I had no idea who he was.

[Kurt Metzger]

There's a lot of stuff to get into with him.

[Jimmy Dore]

So, yeah, I'd love to have him. I'm, I'm gonna call him. I'll call him today after the show, see if he wants to come on.

[Kurt Metzger]

Ask him not to say Jewry like an idiot.

[Jimmy Dore]

I wouldn't even know what to say back if I heard him say that.

[Kurt Metzger]

And then you'd be on the commercial like Tucker.

[Jimmy Dore]

But let's, but let's remember the accusation of anti Semite is there to cover for Israel committing war crimes and doing anything. So this is a former Israeli minister. Her name is Shulimat Aloni. And here's what she's. Let's just remind everybody what the charge of anti Semitism is there for. This is what it's there for. Often when there is dissent expressed in the United States against policies of the Israeli Government people here are called anti Semitic. What is your response to that as an Israeli Jew? Well, it's a trick. We always use it. When from Europe somebody is criticizing Israel, then we bring up the Holocaust. When in this country people are criticizing Israel, then they are anti Semitic. And the organization is strong and has a lot of money and the ties between Israel and the American Jewish establishment are very strong. And they are strong in this country. As you know, they have power, which it's okay. They are talented people and they have power, money and media and other things. And their attitude is Israel, my country, right or wrong, the identification. And they are not ready to hear criticism. And it's very easy to blame people who criticize certain acts of the Israeli government as anti Semitics and to bring up the Holocaust and the suffering of the Jewish people and that's that justify everything we do to the Palestinians. There it is. Anti Semitic. We bring up anti Semitism and the Holocaust to justify every horrible thing they do to Palestinians. And that's exactly what they're doing. Hey, I like this meme. It says anti Semite. We've got an anti Semite over here. See, nobody cares.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, it looks like somebody burned that capitol up on nonsense. Because I don't like people that don't like Jews. I such as Nick Fuentes. I don't like that. So that to wear that out. It's the same as every other stupid word the wokies wore out. Right? It's the same thing. That's the woke. Right. Is Zionist. I don't know what proof you need. That's what it is.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. Congratulations to Tucker Carlson. I'm jealous and I'm a little hurt that I wasn't even. I wasn't even nominated.

[Kurt Metzger]

What's the trophy look like you want a golden mustache?

[Jimmy Dore]

It's just. It's just. It's just. It's a statue of. Of Ben Shapiro and it looks just. Well, I did. Well, it's a guy who looks like his father had wilderness sex with a hawk.

[Kurt Metzger]

That could be made my family as well. I resent that.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, what would an actual Israeli minister know about anti Semitism accusations? I want to hear from a Napoleon with a smaller hat instead. Like Ben Shapiro.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh yeah. Ben Shapiro. Really? What an amazing treasure he is.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, his assertive nasal tone and permanent painted on frown face. Boo. That convinces me he's serious. I'll tell you that he's more sensitive.

[Kurt Metzger]

Than a feminist radical girl.

[Jimmy Dore]

No kidding. So they released a bunch of Epstein files and then they read and then they re unreleased them because Donald Trump was in them. That's if you, if you see Donald Trump, that's Donald Trump there. That's Donald Trump there. So they released like this big cache of pictures, by the way. What a beautiful. What a beautiful display that is. Kurt. There should be a store at the mall that sells this for your home. I'll get it, like especially for Christmas. You could call it Ghislaine Secret. That's what I would call it. Or wait, I know. They could call that store Epstein Island Little knickknacks. And they sell you little Epstein knickknacks and IDF sweatshirts. How about that?

[Kurt Metzger]

Like at the airport, you go to Epstein island and buy some gifts.

[Jimmy Dore]

Look, the. Do you see? The pope is there.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, yes, the pope.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. He's. He's about the only one who can look at someone like Jeffrey Epstein and think, what an amateur. Am I right? Come on. Yeah, come on.

[Kurt Metzger]

Is that the one J.D. vance killed or the new one? The assassin?

[Jimmy Dore]

Then there's a devil with the blue dress, Bill Clinton. That's before he. He looked like they ran him through a dehydrator because that's what he looks like now.

[Kurt Metzger]

But anyway, yeah, looks like Trump sucked his dick really hard again.

[Jimmy Dore]

It does. So breaking. The Department of Justice has deleted one of the Epstein files showing photos of Donald Trump. The file in question is. Then he gives a number. So there it is. And that's the one they got rid of. Can you believe it? Here, I'll zoom in on it. There it is. That's Donny J. And then they blur out the girls faces as if they're all victims. They're not.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, well, one's Erica Kirk, I bet.

[Jimmy Dore]

And there he is again. But that looks like he's with Melania up there. It looks like, anyway.

[Kurt Metzger]

She went to Epstein Finishing School too, by the way. That's a fact.

[Jimmy Dore]

So the photo released on Friday along with the slew of other files, shows a desk displaying a large assortment of framed and unframed photographs and other items. Among those photographs are at least two that clearly show Trump's face. Lawmakers on Saturday were quick to note that the image was missing from the Department of Justice website. So they released it and then they're like, oh, damn it, we're in trouble. Smart move deleting the Trump parts after you release the files. Smart, smart move because that's what they did. The photo featuring Trump was among the least, at least 16 files that disappeared from the site. Friday's release included only some of the Vast number of documents required to be disclosed under the deadline set by the Epstein Files Transparency act, which mandated that the Department of Justice divulge all the files. The Department of Justice continued. So the Department of Justice continued its partial release with more files tied to the investigation early Saturday. Congress is considering holding impeachment hearings about impeaching Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch if the documents that were released don't comply with the law.

[Kurt Metzger]

Mm.

[Jimmy Dore]

So let me see this. You can bet on this, by the way. Did you know that you can.

[Kurt Metzger]

They're not following orders, I'm sure.

[Jimmy Dore]

Do you think you know that Kelshi, which is a sponsor of our show, you could go. Bet. Do you think they're gonna release more files or not? You could actually go to the. Here, let's. Let me. Let me show you.

[Kurt Metzger]

Solid. No, on that one.

[Jimmy Dore]

Go to this. Go to this one. Can you make a full screen? Make it full screen. So if you go to. Kelsey says, will Trump release more Epstein files? And. Oh, I can't see it. So it says. It says 95% say they're going to release more Epstein files before December 26th and before January 1st. 94% before December 23rd. Only 72% or 71%.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. Well, the bet should be if it's going to be all blacked out on every page.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah. If you look, it says. So if you look, it says July 1st. Well, 97%. So anyway, you go over there over at Kelsey. Where are they located?

[Kurt Metzger]

That's how you know.

[Jimmy Dore]

But you definitely can collect. I know that if you're correct. So get this. This photo. File 468 from the Epstein files that includes Donald Trump has apparently been removed from the DOJ release. Pam Bondi, is this true? This is from the Democratic Party's Oversight committee. So here is this guy. He used to be Trump's personal lawyer. Now he's the Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche. And in a remarkable exchange between Welker and deputies. That's Welker and the Deputy AG Blanche. Welker asks him. Well, let's watch. Ready? Here we go. Mr. Blanche, I want to follow up with you on what you just said. You were referencing the 15 files released Friday. They disappeared from DOJ's website yesterday, including this photo of what looks like a desk with a drawer open containing photos of Donald Trump. Just to be very clear, to put a fine point on it, why were these files taken down? You're saying it was at the direction of a Judge. Well, you can see in that photo, there's photographs of women. And so we learned after releasing that photograph that there were concerns about those, about those women and the fact that we had put that photo up, so.

[Kurt Metzger]

We pulled that photo down.

[Jimmy Dore]

It has nothing to do with President Trump. There are dozens of photos of President Trump already released to the public. Seeing him with Mr. Epstein, he has said that in the 90s and early 2000s, he socialized with him. So he. The absurdity of us pulling down a photo, a single photo, because President Trump was in it is laughable. And the fact that everybody. Yeah, it is laughable, especially if it's the one photo of Trump blowing Clinton that would be. Is that even a crime, by the way, for Trump to blow Clinton? Wouldn't that technically be the most moral thing he's ever done in his life? I say, I say release it. Wait till you see. I can just hear Trump talking about it. Wait till you see this blowjob. The most terrific blowjob. Everyone's talking about it. No, no one's ever, ever seen a blowjob like this. No one's. They can't believe how much Bill Clinton ejaculated. No one. No one can believe it. Nobody can believe it. They're saying it's phenomenal. Amounts of semen. They're saying it. That's what I. Miriam called me up and she said, she said, is this true? Me and Sheldon, can't believe you pulled such a terrific load out of Bill Clinton. It's phenomenal.

[Kurt Metzger]

You gotta see it.

[Jimmy Dore]

You gotta see it. You gotta see it. So here's. Here he goes again. Why was Ghislaine Maxwell moved just days after you interviewed her? So let's watch what he says about that. Warren, we're almost out of time. I do want to ask you about Ghislaine Maxwell, who was, of course, convicted in 2021 for her role in helping Jeffrey Epstein traffic his victims. In July, you interviewed her in Florida, where she was serving a 20 year sentence in federal prison. Just a week later, Maxwell was moved to a more permissive prison camp in Texas. Why was she moved just days after.

[Kurt Metzger]

You interviewed her, Mr. Blanche?

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's a Bureau of Prison Security issue that, that I will not talk about.

[Kurt Metzger]

Did you have anything to do with it?

[Jimmy Dore]

Did you have anything to do with it? I thought he was. I thought he was going to say, I was told she belongs to Intelligence. Right. But what he's actually saying is much worse. That's why. Yeah, let me finish. First of all, I am responsible for the Bureau of Prisons. So every decision that they make lands on my desk to the extent it needs to. But just let me talk about the security issue. At the time that I met Ms. Maxwell, there was a tremendous amount of scrutiny and publicity towards her and the institution she was in. She was suffering numerous and numerous threats against her Life. So the BoP is not only only responsible for putting people in jail and making sure they stay in jail, but also for their safety. And so she was moved. She is in federal prison. She was in federal prison before. She's in federal prison now. She's doing 20 years because she was convicted. And the fact that she was. She was moved. She might be moved to another institution tomorrow if security requires it. And that's true of any federal inmate across this country. But as you know. Well, it's. I know, right? It sucks knowing that too many people.

[Kurt Metzger]

Imprisoned to get away with that lie. Too many people in America, the most imprisoned country on earth. They know you're full of. About giving a. About. We just saw what happened to Epstein.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's a. I know, it's amazing. Remember, Todd Blanche is the man who ordered Ghislaine Maxwell to be moved to a minimum security prison and be given special privileges. He's part of the COVID up.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well, keep voting, everyone.

[Jimmy Dore]

And it sucks knowing that Ghislaine Maxwell is living in a nicer place than most Americans. Am I right? So they. They got ratioed. So the Department of Justice tweeted this out. They get. They get a community. Noted. So Todd Blanche says. Today the Department of Justice publicly released materials related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Additional response materials will be produced as our new review continues. Consistent with the law. Sorry, the actions of the Department of Justice aren't consistent with the law that was enacted. The law requires. Oh, I can't read this. The law requires that all files should have already been released. Excessive redactions to protect politically exposed persons such as President Trump are not permitted. Files have been retracted from no legitimate reason and without explanation because it says photos and other materials will continue being reviewed and redacted. Consistent with the law. In an abundance of caution, as we know, they're already supposed to be out. The government lies are getting clobbered by community notes and I'm here for it. That's Thomas Massie saying that. Yeah, no, they're already supposed to be. Wow. Conservative New York Times columnist David Brook. Oh, he was in it. I don't care. So, I mean, there's plenty of pictures with. Of Trump with Jeffrey Epstein, why do you guys still care about this? That's what I don't. There's plenty of pictures out there, everywhere. We've all seen them. And let's remember when this Senator Sheldon Whitehouse brought this up to Pam Bondi.

[Kurt Metzger]

Let me ask you something else.

[Jimmy Dore]

There's been public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein.

[Kurt Metzger]

Showed people photos of President Trump with.

[Jimmy Dore]

Half naked young women.

[Kurt Metzger]

Do you know if the FBI found.

[Jimmy Dore]

Those photographs in their search of Jeffrey Epstein's safe or premises or otherwise?

[Kurt Metzger]

Have you seen any such thing?

[Jimmy Dore]

You know, Senator Whitehouse, you sit here and make salacious remarks once again trying to slander President Trump left and right, when you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidants. I believe I could be wrong. Correct me, Reid Hoffman, who was with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions and the senator sitting right next to you tried to block the flight logs from being released. Yet you're grilling me on President Trump and some photograph with Epstein. Come on.

[Kurt Metzger]

The question.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I guess why I showed you that is to let you know they're all scumbags. Just to let you know your entire government is run by blackmailed PDF files. Ok, just so you know, how does.

[Kurt Metzger]

Anyone at this point not know that after you just got your face spit in by all of them? And the thing I kept saying is the Democrats are going to go, wasn't Trump in the files? Because they know Trump for some reason has to protect the thing and can't go. You were in it. And so Pam Bondi is going to do it right now. How does this not cause a revolution, Jimmy?

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't know. Well, I just want to remind people what was in Joe Biden's daughter's diary. You know about this, right? Kurt? What was in Joe Biden's daughter diary? She said I was M O L E S T E D I think so. Was I? Was I? She says, I think so. Showers with my dad. Probably not appropriate. That was from Ashley Biden's diary, which the FBI raided James o' Keefe's offices and to try to find it.

[Kurt Metzger]

No, he offered it to him and they just wanted to humiliate him and make him serious and no one. And he had his lawyer ask, is this legal what I have? And they took him out in his tighty whities the way Spielberg shoots boys in his movies to let him know.

[Jimmy Dore]

So yeah, who still believes in this.

[Kurt Metzger]

Shit after what they just did? All black. Why do they bother to black? Wouldn't you just okay, black out One page and then photocopy it and say you did it. They took the time to redact each line. You know how much of a fuck.

[Jimmy Dore]

You that is, by the way, special. When I look at this, I just want to give a special shout out to the person with the red pen to help us identify Donald Trump because nobody knows what he looks like.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, yeah, Isn't that nice?

[Jimmy Dore]

Is that.

[Kurt Metzger]

When is he again, Jimmy?

[Jimmy Dore]

What is he.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, I see.

[Jimmy Dore]

Teeth are circling.

[Kurt Metzger]

No, I see Anthony Bourdain in a couple of pictures, but where's Trump? Jimmy?

[Jimmy Dore]

Ha ha. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

[Jeff Bridges]

Hey, buddy, it's Jeff Bridges.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, friend of the show. Jeff Bridges. Thanks for calling. How are you?

[Jeff Bridges]

I'm doing great, man. Thanks for asking. Over here at Costa del Bridges or whatever, Casa Los Brigantes, man, I'm doing this duo lingo thing, and, man, I haven't learned. You get to a certain age, you know, and it's just, you know, forget it, man. You're not picking up a new language. Not even Spanish. The easy one.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right, right.

[Jeff Bridges]

Anyway, over here at my house, we are full of Christmas cheer and seasonal excitement. We love Christmas, man. Every year, me and my family, you know, we have a bunch of old family holiday traditions that we, you know, we just dig the shit out of, man.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, that sounds nice. Can you tell me about these Bridges family traditions?

[Jeff Bridges]

I don't fucking know, man. My wife and daughters are in charge of all that shit.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, then. Well, what's on your mind, Jimmy?

[Jeff Bridges]

Did you hear the big news? The news that has all of Hollywood talking?

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm afraid so. And it's really just sad.

[Jeff Bridges]

I mean, the Oscars are moving to YouTube in 2029.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm sorry, what now after 50?

[Jeff Bridges]

I'm not making this up, man. After 50 years at ABC, the Academy Awards will be shown on YouTube beginning in 2029. YouTube, man, are you serious? I'm as serious as a clown. Car full of philosophers, man. It just got announced.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow. Well, that's. That's a pretty big announcement. How do you feel about it?

[Jeff Bridges]

Yeah, you know, that's an interesting question, man, because I didn't know what to think at first. YouTube. But I should point out first that a lot of actors make it seem like they don't care about awards season. They do. They do, man. Don't kid yourself. Not only do I care, I love the Oscars. I love everything about it. The glitz and glamour, the comedy, the. The hors d'. Oeuvres. Top of the line, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I bet.

[Jeff Bridges]

Bacon wrapped dates don't mind if I do. Little bruschetta with pico? Yes, please. Little meatballs on a stick. I'm in fucking heaven, man.

[Jimmy Dore]

It sounds wonderful, Jeff.

[Jeff Bridges]

You have no idea, buddy. You have no idea. And whether I'm there in person or watching from home, I enjoy it either way because I already won one of those little in 2010.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, for crazy heart.

[Jeff Bridges]

That's right, for crazy heart, man. So it's fun to watch these guys who've been nominated 20 times but never one get snubbed once again. They have to be graceful, but you know, it's kill them inside, man. Just tearing them apart.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, right. Yes.

[Jeff Bridges]

I'm sorry I let my mind wander there for a minute, but yeah, back to YouTube, man. I thought about it for a while and now I dig the shit out of the idea. You know, people get to watch the Oscars for free. That's pretty cool, man.

[Jimmy Dore]

They could always watch it for free, Jeff. It was on network television.

[Jeff Bridges]

Well, yeah, but now you can watch it for free on your computer. Plus, if it's on YouTube, there won't be television commercials.

[Jimmy Dore]

You really don't think there are going to be ads during the Oscar? Big stream streamed on YouTube.

[Jeff Bridges]

Well, not television ads because it's a computer thing, man. Computers are a whole different deal, man. Remember I got sucked into one in Tron.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, okay, but trust me, YouTube makes its money from ads just like everybody else. There are going to be plenty of commercials.

[Jeff Bridges]

Well, that's a bummer, man.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, yeah. Also guess what? The Oscars need those commercial breaks to set up for the next musical act or whatever.

[Jeff Bridges]

That's a good fucking point, man. I hadn't thought about that. Very interesting. Well, either way, during the ads, you can just look at other YouTube videos. You know, some weeping actress gets played off the stage by the band and then you go look at three monkeys of three minutes of monkeys riding around skateboards. I cannot wait to get baked out of my mind and experience that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Sounds nice.

[Jeff Bridges]

Does indicators directly to people like me. Old men who have a study with a desktop computer and an office chair. We sequester ourselves away from the family for no reason and consume entertainment on the computer. It's a huge trend that no one understands, but it's. It's happening, man, believe me. So for us, in the. In the. For us is the optimal Academy Award viewing experience. After a big fat bowl, of course.

[Jimmy Dore]

Naturally, after a bowl.

[Jeff Bridges]

Hey, Jimmy, I gotta go. Apparently my daughters and their families are coming over. We're Just saying. Christmas carols or some. You like Christmas music, Jimmy?

[Jimmy Dore]

Some, I guess.

[Jeff Bridges]

Yeah, me too. I get tired of all the ones that are basically, hey, it's chilly outside, so let's have sex, you know, think about something else. It's the holidays. There's kids here.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right, Right.

[Jeff Bridges]

And then you got the Coventry carol where all those babies get murdered by Pontius Pilot. Prick that guy. Anyway, Jimmy, Merry Christmas to you and Stephanie.
