Date: August 18, 2025
Host: Jimmy Dore

Episode Overview

This episode delivers Jimmy Dore’s signature blend of dark humor, news critique, and political skepticism, covering two major topics:

1. The federal response and media coverage of a man arrested for throwing a Subway sandwich at DC law enforcement, satirizing the government's priorities and sensationalism.
2. The evolving political conversation over censorship, TikTok’s moderation shift, and bipartisan attitudes towards state power and police, especially following Trump’s moves to take federal control in DC.

Throughout, the tone is irreverent, mocking, and critical of both mainstream parties and establishment narratives.

Main Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Subway Sandwich" Assault Case

Starts at 00:50

• Main Story: The Attorney General and FBI Director tweeted about a major "assault" in DC, which turns out to be a man throwing a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.
• Media Sensationalism: Jimmy and Kurt mock how establishment media and federal officials frame minor incidents as big threats, contrasting this with their silence on more serious scandals (e.g., Epstein, Israeli spies, CIA lying to Congress).

Jimmy Dore [01:00]:
"Is it about the Epstein? No. Is it about we caught Israeli spies inside the White House? No. Is it... we found the CIA lying to Congress? No. What is it? Turns out there was a guy who threw a hoagie at a cop who, by the way, looked hungry."

• Satire on Law Enforcement: Repeated jokes about the physical condition of the officers chasing the suspect.
• Commentary on Overreaction: The man, Sean Dunn, is charged with felony assault and loses his job, despite judge noting overcharging for "assault with a hoagie."

Kurt [03:31]:
"If that guy threw a sandwich at me like that, I would chase him down and beat the daylights out of him if I had a uniform on. It's even more imperative that you do that because no one respects you if this guy can peg you with Subway sandwiches."

• Deep State Satire: Jokes about the "deep state" now being comprised of drunk DOJ employees tossing sandwiches at officers.

Jimmy Dore [05:10]:
"Here I was thinking the deep state was the permanent intelligence apparatus overthrowing foreign governments... but it turns out it's actually a guy in D.C. throwing a Subway sandwich at an ICE agent. That's the deep state."

2. Trump’s Federal Policing in DC & Elite Attitudes

Starts ~13:34

• Homelessness & Policing: Misha and Jimmy raise concerns about Trump’s plan to “evict” the homeless in DC, suggesting a trial run for federal crackdowns in other cities.

Misha [14:09]:
"Yeah, but where are they going to go?... they've already been evicted. They're already, they're already outside."

• Media & Democratic Support for Crackdown: Joe Scarborough (Morning Joe) confesses that it's media figures and Democrats "privately cheering on" Trump's federal policing, not only MAGA supporters.

Joe Scarborough [51:44]:
"The people that are cheering this on privately are not like right wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media and also Democrats..."

• Dore’s Takeaway: The political class is united across party lines when it comes to law enforcement control, while the public, especially vulnerable groups, pay the price.

3. Censorship, TikTok, and Zionist Influence

Starts ~17:26

• Israel & Social Media: Segment on why the pro-Israel lobby targets TikTok, with ADL and other Jewish orgs openly expressing concern that young Americans are growing critical of Israel due to social media exposure.

Expert/Analyst [17:51]:
"TikTok runs all sorts of videos that portray the Israelis acting towards the Palestinians in barbaric ways. And when young people see these videos on TikTok, they obviously become remarkably sympathetic to the Palestinians..."

• Banning vs. Controlling: Since banning TikTok is hard, Jimmy notes, the platform hires a former IDF soldier as its hate speech policy manager (Erica Mindel).

Jimmy Dore [22:14]:
"TikTok has hired a proud American, Jewish former IDF soldier Erica Mindel, as the new hate speech manager..."

• "Hate Speech" as Thought Control: Jimmy rails against the term “hate speech,” saying it's weaponized to silence dissent, especially criticism of Israel.

Jimmy Dore [24:14]:
"Hate speech is the most garbage term in the world. I'm a grown ass man. I'm allowed to hate stuff."

• Censorship Experiences: Both Jimmy and Misha share experiences of being banned from TikTok for discussing these issues, leading to self-censorship.

4. Satirizing Political Lying & Manufactured Voters

Starts ~35:35 (John Oliver/Chuck Schumer segment)

• Critique of John Oliver and Chuck Schumer:
  • John Oliver exposes Schumer’s invented fictional swing voter family “The Baileys,” whom Schumer cites as a political compass, complete with elaborate backstories.
  • Kurt argues that, ironically, Schumer’s imaginary family is closer to the real American electorate than Oliver's parody implies, lampooning liberal media out-of-touchness.
• Broader Point: Political figures—Trump, Biden, Schumer—are all manipulators, and the media chooses when to mock their lies for partisan convenience.

Jimmy Dore [46:15]:
"This idea that Donald Trump invented lying or that he's the only one or he's the worst or whatever—that what he just showed you there is psychopathology..."

Notable Quotes & Moments (With Timestamps)

• On FBI Priorities:
  Jimmy Dore [01:00]: "They took time. The Attorney General and the head of the FBI took time out of their day to tweet about this story. That's how big this is... Turns out there was a guy who threw a hoagie at a cop who, by the way, looked hungry."

• Deep State Satire:
  Jimmy Dore [05:10]: "But it turns out it's actually a guy in D.C. throwing a Subway sandwich at an ICE agent. That's the deep state."

• TikTok's "Hate Speech" Policy:
  Jimmy Dore [22:14]: "TikTok has hired a proud American, Jewish former IDF soldier Erica Mindel, as the new hate speech manager."

• On Free Speech & Censorship:
  Jimmy Dore [24:14]: "Hate speech is the most garbage term in the world. I'm a grown ass man. I'm allowed to hate stuff."

• Elite Unity on Policing:
  Joe Scarborough [51:44]: "The people that are cheering this on privately are not like right wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media and also Democrats..."

• Cynical: Sees media and politics as largely performance and manipulation.

---

Takeaways

• Jimmy Dore uses the trivial FBI sandwich assault story to highlight law enforcement overreach and priorities gone awry in political theater.
• He critiques bipartisan elite consensus on using draconian measures under the guise of safety, noting that Democratic politicians and media are quietly supportive of Trump’s authoritarian policing.
• Censorship on digital platforms, especially on issues of Israel/Palestine, is exposed as controlled and increasingly infiltrated by Zionist-aligned officials, under the guise of combating “hate speech.”
• Both Democrats and Republicans are depicted as two wings of an elite ruling class, relying on distraction, self-serving narratives (like Schumer’s Baileys), and scapegoating to maintain power.

For listeners seeking a contrarian, sharply satirical take on current events, this episode provides a biting critique of U.S. political spectacle, media complicity, and the erosion of dissent both on the street and online.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Bullshit.

[Jimmy Dore]

We can't afford why he's fomenting this watch and see as his jack golf the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on. It's the chimmy door. Big story breaking out of Washington D.C. this is a big story. Big story. And the so big that the. The Attorney general and the head of the FBI tweeted about this story. That's how big the story is. Do you want to know how big the story is? That's how big it is. They took time. The Attorney General and the head of the FBI took time out of their day to tweet about this story. That's how big this is. What is it about the Epstein? No. Is it about we caught Israeli spies inside the White House? No. Is it. Is it we. We found the CIA lying to Congress? No. What? What? What is it? Turns out there was a guy who threw a. A hoagie at a. At a cop who, by the way, looked hungry. These guys look like they're hungry. So let's watch. This is what happened. So he's yelling at the cops in D.C. and then he whips a hoagie at him or a Subway submarine sandwich. And then he tries to take off and he runs. He runs like almost. Almost as fast as Jerry Lewis doing a character. That's how. I mean, lady with the thing. Hi.

[Kurt]

It's very Steven Seagal. Run.

[Jimmy Dore]

You see the guy can't run. Why would you. Why would you put yourself in a position where you're gonna have to outrun somebody when you run like Jerry Lewis with the hitting and the lady. I have the glasses and the. Stop it with the thing. I'm Gonna try and run. He runs like that. That. Oh, yeah.

[Kurt]

He's an emotional, mind controlled idiot like many of the morons in DC. Why would you throw a sandwich? What is your statement of that? I don't want them to beat you up if you did that. By the way, I bet you want people to throw sandwiches at cops.

[Jimmy Dore]

So he threw a Subway sandwich at that cop and then they chased him down and got him. And I bet he gets. He's going to get more time than that pervert Jared did from those Subway commercials. That's all I'm saying.

[Kurt]

And he's going to get a night stick in the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, you want to watch it again? Here it is. So here. So he gets mad, throws it at him and then. And then. Game on. We got. We got a couple of chubby cops chasing a guy who can't run. Look how long it takes him to catch up to them. This guy, the guy can't run for shit.

[Kurt]

Yeah, look at it.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, honest to God, he runs like. All I keep thinking of is Jerry Lewis doing a character.

[Kurt]

It's insane. As you know, I'm not a cop, Jimmy, and I'm not a fed, but if that guy threw a sandwich at me like that, I would chase him down and beat the daylights out of him if I had a uniform on. It's even more imperative that you do that because no one respects you if this guy can peg you with Subway sandwiches.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Attorney General Pamela Bondi, she also tweeted about it. She says, if you touch any law enforcement officer, we will come after you. They're really making this a big deal. I just learned that this defendant worked at the Department of Justice no longer.

[Kurt]

Wait, what?

[Jimmy Dore]

The guy worked at the Department of Justice. So the crime rise in D.C. is coming from inside the Trump's Justice Department.

[Kurt]

What is happening?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes. Yes.

[Kurt]

This is weird.

[Jimmy Dore]

And he's. So they charged him with a felony. It's since been this felony. I guess he already had a preliminary hearing and the judge said no, that's. You're overcharging. It's not a felony that you threw. I mean, you know, hey, maybe. How do we. How do we know that the police officer wasn't gluten intolerant? Maybe that's the problem, right?

[Kurt]

Was there an altercation before he threw the sandwich or did he just come up to them?

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, that cop just isn't very. He. They're not very tolerant of anything else. Why would he be tolerant of gluten? You know what I'm talking About? Come on. Come on. So here's the crazy part of this tweet, Kurt. She says, this is an example of the deep state we have been up against for seven months. And here I was thinking. I was thinking the deep state was the permanent intelligence apparatus overthrowing foreign governments while increasing intrusive and illegal surveillance both at home and abroad. But it turns out it's actually a guy in D.C. throwing a Subway sandwich at an ICE agent. That's the deep state.

[Kurt]

Yeah, I think that guy's from the Deep Throat state, if you know what I mean.

[Jimmy Dore]

I think I know what you mean. Based on his ruin, I tweeted out assault with a hoagie, the worst kind of assault that there is. If this is the kind of thing that Cash Patel thinks are worthy of being tweeted out by the FBI director, then the agency is in worse shape than anyone thought. This is your. You're supposed to have high profile. Look. We found a ton of cocaine stuffed in the bowels of a ship. Look, we did it. You're supposed to. Look, we caught heads of a drug cartel. Hey, look, we got these RICO criminals on one. Not this. We got a guide through the deep state. It comes with extra cheese, no onion. I mean, it's just a silly video. And they're making a big. This is the deep state. She said, Kurt. Why?

[Kurt]

Oh, it made me forget about Epstein. So great job. Heck of a job, Bundy.

[Jimmy Dore]

So let's see. A worst thing to happen to Subway sandwiches since Jared Fogle. Yes.

[Kurt]

Offsets. The best thing of H1B visas, keeping.

[Jimmy Dore]

Only the deep state could come up with a plan so evil and violent as to throw a sandwich. Well, he should get jail time for assault with a deli weapon. Am I right? Come on. Come here.

[Kurt]

Come on.

[Jimmy Dore]

Come on. That's right. Hey, don't bread on me. Am I right? Come on. So do you want to see what led up to that? Do you want to see what led up to that, James? Yeah. I'm curious. Okay, so here. Here's. This is a two minute video of what led up to it. So this guy's obviously been drinking. And then now he's got his Subway to try to fill up his gut. That's all. Got the booze in it. You know, you get home from a.

[Kurt]

James o' Keefe secret date, he's all riled up from a James o'. Keefe.

[Jimmy Dore]

I think that's what happened. And so let's listen to it. Let's listen to it. They what? You see these fascists right Here. Fascists. You. You fascist. Well, I. I think that's pretty low. That's a pretty low bar for fascists. If you could tell them F you right to their face and they just walk past you and don't do any. It's not really that much of a police state. Right. If you could just go F you right out and brought in the middle of the street and they just walk by and leave you alone. It doesn't seem. I don't know. Anyway.

[Kurt]

How much do you want to bet, Jimmy, that this guy that I. I read as an emotional gay man who works in politics is actually married and says he's not gay? I'll bet you that's part of the story. I'll bet you anything like Ben Collins is married to a woman. Yeah. Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. I don't know who Ben Collins is.

[Kurt]

But you do from the Twitter files.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, that Ben Collins. Okay, here we go. So these black guys filming are laughing at this guy. He yells like a. The whitest of white people. I need to do some background studying about the federal. He comes back before the ones they pulled up in these fascists. Oh, the fascist tried the. The federal. The federal buy investigation.

[Kurt]

Where.

[Jimmy Dore]

Where did they. What vehicles did they show up in? They showed up in unmarked. Where are they? Where? Right. Is it a white. The white truck right there. The. The white car in front of there. That. That white Jeep over there? All the white cars. All those white cars. Yeah. It's odd. There he goes. Mr. Pink Shirt Wedding ring with a Subway sandwich. There it is there. Here it goes.

[Expert/Analyst]

You call the man.

[Jimmy Dore]

It doesn't. They don't really seem that fascisty. If he's allowed to get right in their face, wave his fist at them. He's waving his fist. How fastest are they? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You don't. No, no, no, no. It's not worth. What is the black guy yelling at him?

[Kurt]

You did that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here it comes, motherfucker. Look how bad he runs like. That's not even a. That's not even a quick jog. He cooked them. And there it is. There it is. Subway sandwich. Assault with a deli weapon. They actually. So what? They actually did a story about this and does cnbc. The man facing a federal felony assault for allegedly chucking a Subway sandwich at a U.S. customs and Border Protection agent in Washington was an employee of the Department of Justice. The man, identified in court documents as Sean Charles Dunn. Boy, he is Dunn. He's been fired. She said Dunn worked in the International affairs section of the Criminal Division of the Department of Justice.

[Kurt]

What? That's so weird.

[Jimmy Dore]

That is so weird.

[Kurt]

So he's clearly like a drunk, but what else is he on?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, the department. This. Well, not Xanax, because that makes you the department. This week deployed hundreds of federal agents. A video of the incident which occurred Sunday night in Washington's northwest section near the intersection of 14th and U streets showed an agitated man in a pink polo shirt and light shorts. And I'm gonna guess, and I'm just guessing here. Thong underwear. I'm just guessing. I'm just guessing. While holding a wrapped Subway sandwich in one hand, he then winds up and hurls the sandwich into the chest of the officer nearest to him before sprinting away while at least three officers give chase. Boy, those officers were not in good shape, I'll tell you that. Those officers look like they could use a few sit ups. And the 32 second clip was posted by FBI Director Cash Patel. Because, you know, they're not, they're really not doing much over there. While being processed by the Metropolitan Police Department, Dunn said, I did it. I threw a sandwich. Trump administration has justified the federal takeover of DC's police department by arguing that the moves are necessary to crush violent crime in the city. Well, I hope so. I hope we don't have any more of those hoagie throwers because that's not good.

[Kurt]

Yeah, murder is not included in hoagie throwing in their stats. I don't know if you know that.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, they don't. Sean Dunn, accused of throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, is released on his own recognizance as the judge finds the felony charge. Etc. So he doesn't even have to post bail.

[Kurt]

Yeah, well, I mean, because he threw it.

[Jimmy Dore]

He threw a sand. They act like. They act like he threw a Molotov cocktail. He threw a sandwich. He threw us.

[Kurt]

If you attack a cop in any way, they were going to treat it like you threw a Molotov cocktail. So it is a little odd that he's going to be fine and just lose his job because I know, I've seen people do all kinds of. With cops and they don't get off that lightly.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I, Yeah, well, I'm sure they gave him a little, little. Gave him the business until he came. What's, what's, what's your take on the whole DC cop ramp up, James?

[Misha]

My take on it? Well, it's not ideal.

[Joe Scarborough]

But.

[Misha]

Okay, so here's the thing, and.

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you running for something right now? No.

[Misha]

No, I think it's like, I just see it as like a stepping stone towards more of these clampdowns. Like, nobody wants homeless people around, but do you send, like, ICE agents to go in and get them? That's my issue with this, is like, are you. Is this a trial in D.C. and then you're going to go to like, Chicago and LA or whatever?

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, is that really the plan to imprison. Imprison homeless people? I haven't heard him say that. He said, we're going to evict them.

[Misha]

Yeah, but where are they going to go?

[Jimmy Dore]

It's like, weird because they've already been evicted. They're already, they're already outside. Like, sorry, someone beat me to house.

[Kurt]

Them and kick them out of the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Those houses. Yeah. Do you have to give them a house, then kick them out?

[Misha]

I mean, I just think that somebody told Trump this idea and said, hey, by the way, in dc, did you know there's this law that you can just invoke and then you could take over the police department.

[Jimmy Dore]

Stephen Miller, who told him.

[Misha]

And then Trump said, oh, yeah, that's. That's a good idea. And then let's do that. And then maybe it'll distract from the Epstein. Whatever we can do. You know, I think that's.

[Jimmy Dore]

It is distracting. It's.

[Misha]

I just think that it's too. There's too many loose things going on. They're not. They're being really sloppy with all these different moves that they're making. These chess moves, quote unquote. Chess moves.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, they're more like checkers. I think they're more like.

[Kurt]

There's more to it. I promise you there's more to it. Just like that shooter that we all forgot about, that they said possibly white shooter with the AR in New York.

[Jimmy Dore]

In New York. Oh, the guy who killed. They said he was going after the. He was going after somebody else.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Do you know, do you know what that story was? Yes, they.

[Misha]

They said that they're going. He was going after the NFL because of cte.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. But that's not why he wasn't.

[Misha]

I have no idea. What I do know is that I used to work of those buildings in New York. It's not so easy just to get in.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, he was. He was going towards. There was another office. He went to the wrong office.

[Misha]

No, but I'm saying you can't even walk into the office without a badge. There's like 10.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Misha]

Guards downstairs. So I don't even know how he got upstairs.

[Jimmy Dore]

I watch Mr. Robot. Uhhuh. I know how you have to get into how hard it is to get.

[Misha]

Into places in New York and in here.

[Jimmy Dore]

Maybe somebody's fob card, you know. Yeah, but he's open carry though.

[Misha]

But he was going in with the.

[Kurt]

Yeah, he's going in open that wrong, wrong floor thing. I don't believe that. I think they're just saying that because of the 33rd floor accurate.

[Jimmy Dore]

You think he was. You think he knew about the male cheerleaders that were not coming down the pike and he was preemptively trying to shoot them?

[Kurt]

If only Sha Dunn had known, maybe it would cheer him up and he wouldn't have to throw a sandwich.

[Jimmy Dore]

Problem with TikTok because people are seeing the truth about what Israel's doing in Gaza and so they want to shut it down. In fact, Mersheimer talks about it here.

[Kurt]

James is is what's his name? Larry Ellison. The guy who's really been getting the data this whole time. Did I learn that from you?

[Misha]

Larry Ellison? Well, he just, his son just bought Paramount.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, well, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's hold on. Okay, ready?

[Expert/Analyst]

This is one of the principal reasons.

[Jimmy Dore]

Can you put it up?

[Expert/Analyst]

Is one of the principal reasons that the lobbyists committed to shutting down TikTok. TikTok runs all sorts of videos that portray the Israelis acting towards the Palestinians in barbaric ways. And when young people see these videos on TikTok, they obviously become remarkably sympathetic to the Palestinians and they think badly, to put it mildly, of the Israelis. So the lobby would like to shut down TikTok. And the problem is that in the age of social media, there are just real limits to what you can do. And this, this is going to cause Israel huge problems moving forward. This is not the old world that I grew up in, where the mainstream media was all you had.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. So this is the head of the adl, and he got caught telling the truth about why they have to get rid of. So remember, they said they wanted to ban TikTok because Chinese are going to be spying on us. That's not right. Again, they run a ban. It was always this. And here he is, he's going to reveal to you why they have rid of TikTok. And he says, I also want to.

[Expert/Analyst]

Point out we have a major, major, major generational problem. All the polling I've seen, ADL's polling, ICC's polling, independent polling, suggests this is not a left right gap, folks. The issue in the United States support for Israel is not left and right. It is young and old. Old. And the numbers of young people who think that Hamas's, you know, massacre was justified is shockingly and terrifyingly high. And so we really have a TikTok problem, a Gen Z problem that our community needs to put. The same brains that gave us Tagli, the same brains that gave us all these other amazing innovations, need to put our energy towards this, like, fast. Because, again, like, we've been chasing this left, right, divide. It's the wrong game. The real game is the next generation. And the Hamas and their accomplices, the useful idiots in the west, are falling in line in ways that are terrifying. Last thing I'll just say, we saw a dramatic change in the language of the activists here in America on October 8th. The language of groups that we've long tracked who've long been problematic, like Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voices for peace. They flipped like this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Jewish Voices for Peace. They're a big problem organization. They're big.

[Kurt]

We've tracked Rick about peace.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Expert/Analyst]

And went to, like, Iranian propaganda. The language I could show you from their toolkits because are in their groups. We saw this again for the eighth. It was that fast. Like, the language in their toolkits, all about the Zionist entity and the language that we. From Iranian propaganda.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. So there he is Saying it's all TikTok's fault. We got to get rid of TikTok. Here's Nikki Haley. We really do need to ban TikTok once and for all. And let me tell you why. For every 30 minutes that someone watches TikTok, every day, they become 17% more anti Semitic, more pro Hamas, based on doing that. So that's why they. So, yeah. Yeah.

[Misha]

So that data is from a Zionist.

[Jimmy Dore]

Research group that's from Rutgers. Right. And so what. So what did they. What have they. So they're not going to ban Tick Tock. Turns out, doesn't look like they're gonna ban TikTok because somebody's getting money somewhere. Right. And TikTok's new hate speech manager is a former IDF soldier in Proud Zei. So that's how they're gonna do it. They're just gonna do it with straight. So they've been doing it with. I've been banned from TikTok at least two or three times. Right. Misha, how many times you talk into the microphone? We are on our third. You're on your third TikTok. I'm on my third TikTok account.

[Kurt]

I don't go.

[Misha]

They never tell you why you're being banned.

[Jimmy Dore]

They never tell you what. They just go, you have to. You. You broke our policy. And they. There's nobody to talk to a Tick Tock. At least at YouTube I have someone to talk to at least. That's at least what I have. I still don't have any control, but at least somebody will give me an explanation about what I did here. They won't. And so. So. So instead of getting rid of Tick Tock, which apparently they can't, or there's too much money involved in it. It to get rid of it. TikTok has hired a proud American, Jewish former IDF soldier Erica Mindel, as the new hate speech manager. Mindel's LinkedIn profile shows she entered the position of public Policy Manager Hate Speech in July. The position involves developing and driving the company's positions on hate speech. According to the job description, it involves spearheading long term policies, strategies regarding hate speech, monitoring online content and advocating for the company's policy stances. And it specifically states that the position involves servicing as a subject matter expert on anti Semitism and hate speech. So those are two bullshit things right now, just so you know, anti Semitism, it's every, every. Oh my God, this, the bake. The bagel I got was a little stale. We do anti Semite, so that's what antisemitism, no matter what. So any criticism of Israel's genocide, right now they call it anti Semitism. Right. So even if you want to do anti Semites, by the way, not non violent protest against a genocide or against another country that is now called anti Semitic. And Donald Trump has said that's hate speech and those people are protected class now. So he came in with his whole new WOKE ideology. It's the Donald Trump, the woke. Right. And so the way they got rid of it is they're just going to censor the hell out of you like they've been doing all along. But it's even worse now because they got an IDF person to be the official censor at TikTok.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

It specifically states that the position involves serving as a subject matter expert on anti Semitism and hate speech. Hate speech is the most garbage term in the world. I'm a grown ass man. I'm allowed to hate stuff. I get to hate whatever I want. So this is, this is all fascism, right? This is all the fascism in internal and external meaning and analyzing hate speech trends, focusing on anti Semitic contact. So there's, there's just speech. One's man, hate speech is another man's freedom fight. Right? So there's, you can't ban speech. You can't say this speech is hateful. It's all those are, those are thought crimes. And that's the kind of stuff that we've been warned about from George Orwell to Aldous Huxley to everybody. So now they're controlling your thoughts. When, when someone says hate speech, that's thought. Those are, we want to. So if someone says I'm for free speech, except for, you know, stuff I don't like that. And then you're not for free speech.

[Kurt]

Free credit report. When you were like, hey, this isn't free.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, it's not like free, free, it's not free. Her previous role from 22 to 25 was the contractor for the U.S. state Department during the Biden administration. Really? She worked for Deborah Lipstadt, the special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism Prior to that, she spent two years at the American Jewish Committee AJC as the assistant director of program development. On her LinkedIn, she says she was responsible for developing and managing high level advocacy and policy delegations to Israel for political, press, media, religious and civic and academic thought leaders. During the AJC video in 2023, she explained that she was raised as a traditional and conservative Jew and took a 10 month gap program in Israel after she graduated from college. She spoke on how during her first month at the university, a BDS motion that is, I always can't remember that Boycott divestment, boycott divestment and sanction motion, you know, people want to boycott products from Israel was brought and she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to, to combating it. She spoke on how she realized how passionate her Zionist identity was during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge. I knew, I knew the well being of Jews worldwide and the security of Israel would be issues of lifelong importance to me. After graduating from the university, she made Alia. And what, I don't know what that means.

[Misha]

Alia means you become an Israeli citizen.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, no kidding. Yeah, she ugly Jewish.

[Misha]

It means like higher.

[Jimmy Dore]

So she attained the position of a Jewish citizen and joined the IDF where she spent two and a half years as a Madrakot Shirean, an instructor in the Armored Corps. For many this may seem like a contradiction, she noted, adding that it could seem strange that a woman who identifies as liberal and progressive is also a Zionist so committed as to join the idf. But she said to, she said that for her, these two identities go hand in hand.

[Kurt]

Yeah, they should. Fascist. The Zionist Fascist Party was the original name of it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Scratch a scratch a liberal and there's a fascist underneath. Eric Fingerhut. That's real name. Finger the hut, president and CEO of the Jewish Federations of North America said in March 2024 that TikTok has helped fuel a horrific spike in antisemitism that our communities are feeling every day. And it's time to take action. You know, saying that anti Semitism is on the rise is like saying that, you know, anti Nazism was on the rise in the 40s, right? It's like it doesn't come out of nowhere.

[Kurt]

They're feeling it from their kids. Because by the way, when he said Greenblatt, that piece of garbage, when he goes, well we need more stuff like Tagli, that weird word, he said, that's called birthright. That's the birth. My ex girlfriend did that. They send American Jewish kids on a trip to Israel and they call it birthright okay. And then they try to get you laid with another Jewish kid because it's a. It's like a Nazi eugenic breeding program. My girl told me all about it.

[Misha]

No, not just that.

[Jimmy Dore]

They.

[Misha]

They purposely put these like hot IDF soldiers, both male and female, inject them into the group. Hopefully they fall in love one of these people and then move to.

[Kurt]

And they told me, they told me. She told me all about this and. Because that thing of being liberal, but the fascist state of fucking Israel doesn't. Doesn't compute. My girl got mad because they had these sneeze police, they're called, who instead of sending hot Israelis, they were sending these people to tell the girls they look too slutty. So she got all up in her liberal feelings, like, don't tell. Even though she's very Zionist, she didn't succumb to it because they screwed up at the time. But now that's where you hear the bullshit that they love gay people. Right? They love gays. We support gays. And we. Russell and Keaton showed that piece of garbage Destiny took a trip to Israel to tell the IDF to stop putting their crimes on TikTok. Did you see that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

That's how evil at Destiny is. He took a job to go. And for God's sake, when you torture and kill people, put it on Tick Tock. I mean, he's straight up saying shit like that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, Eric Fingerhut, I. I think his. His original name was Eric Finger Pizza Hut, which I love Finger Pizza Huts. Those are nice, right? They're much smaller pieces of pizza at the Finger Hut. Meet TikTok's new Zionist censorship czar, Erica. Erica Mindo. She's former IDF instructor, now employed to run Tick Tock's hate speech enforcement. The head of the ADL previously said Israel has a Tick Tock problem. Now a devout Zionist can censor the platform.

[Kurt]

And there she is, a good girl. And do what she's told too.

[Jimmy Dore]

There she is. On faces of American Jewry. TikTok updated its guidelines 15 days after hiring a former IDF soldier and proud Zionist to fight anti Semitism. Calling the IDF terrorists now violates community guidelines. They also changed all racial supremacy as hate speech to only white supremacy.

[Kurt]

Now that's telling, Jimmy. That's a bit telling. That kind of gives away your deal.

[Jimmy Dore]

On the left. So these are the previous guidelines. And on the right are the updated guidelines. So the previous guideline says portraying protected groups as inherently dangerous, such as calling them criminals or terrorists. Over here, protected attributes mean personal characteristics that you are either born with or immutable or it would cause severe psychological harm if you were forced to change them or were attacked because of them. This includes caste, ethnicity, national origin.

[Kurt]

What if I'm Palestinian, bitch?

[Jimmy Dore]

And so before you could portraying any hateful ideology including claiming supremacy over protected group such as a racial supremacy. But now it says claims of supremacy over protected groups such as white supremacy, not racial supremacy, just white. So they're changing it already. And of course, as you were talking about Israel soldiers deployed in Gaza post their abuses on social media and they were told not to do this. Now Israel soldiers told not to publish war videos as some flee vacations because a guy went on vacation. Where was he on vacation at? In Brazil. And they tried to arrest him for his war crimes that he had posted on TikTok while he was on vacation in Brazil. They're like, hey, this is a war criminal. So that's what you know.

[Kurt]

They're going to Argentina now. Do you know that, Jimmy? Fleeing to Argentina?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes, of course they are. A holidaying. Israel's Israeli soldier was forced to flee Brazil after a judge ordered an investigation into his war crime conduct in Gaza. It's just one case in a growing list where Israel soldiers have been tracked down on vacation and threatened with arrest.

[Kurt]

That's great. In fact, Israel a hotline I can call to report a suspected was IDF war criminal. Well, I guess America, nothing will happen to them here.

[Jimmy Dore]

But no.

[Kurt]

Well, that's great. So that is great.

[Jimmy Dore]

So if, if you'd like to hear me make jokes about this, you come see me in Rutherford, New Jersey, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Appleton, Wisconsin, Chicago, Louisville, Kentucky and Fort Wayne, Indiana. I, of course, that's who's running the poppy. It's like they, it's, it's.

[Kurt]

Yeah, I'm prejudiced against Muslims and Arabs. I can't be clear about that. My natural state as a good person is to be prejudiced against Arabs and so understand I was prejudiced towards Israel this whole, my whole life. The fact that, I mean, not that I'm calling it out means Israel is despicable what they did because. Yeah, no, I remember the good old days when I was like, oh, it's the Muslims. But a funny thing happened over 20 years where them having one rule of not drawing their guy doesn't seem so bad compared to what we've had for the last 20 years, which is don't say anything about anything. You know, I owe the Muslims an apology, actually.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, so I actually did a story.

[Misha]

On TikTok, just the exact story of Just saying, hey, this lady got hired to run the content moderation at TikTok. And then I get a call from my friend who she knows very well, connected with the high up people.

[Jimmy Dore]

And she said, TikTok? Yeah.

[Misha]

And she says, hey, by the way, I saw your post. They're going through right now, and they're doing like a full scan of people who are large accounts posting about Israel, Palestine. I'd probably take that down right now because they're going through and sweeping the whole thing. And she's like, some people are getting perma banned. Because at that point, I had just got my account unbanned from the previous band for saying that Alexis Wilkins, Cash Patel's girlfriend, might be, you know, honey potting him. So then that video got like 500,000 views within a few hours. Then I wake up the next day, boom, account banned. And so I'm tying those together. And then she'll shoot, you know, got in touch with people, worked really hard to get my account unbanned. And then so this is like two days later I did this video. She's like, they're going through right now and they're just banning people.

[Jimmy Dore]

So do you still have your TikTok as of now? Yeah. Did you take that post down?

[Misha]

I took it down.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, look. So that worked. It worked. So it works. They got you to self censor.

[Misha]

I know. And even though it was just a story, it wasn't even. I was just saying, hey, by the way, this lady is now hired. That is apparently against their guidelines. Just saying, hey, so and so works there. It wasn't even like, you know, I'm not using any kind of strong language like, you know, you're using right now, Kurt. I was just saying, hey, by the way, this lady is fired. She made Aliyah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Blah, blah, blah. Well, our TikTok account was doing well, right, Misha? Yeah. Yeah, we were. We were almost at the point where we could.

[Kurt]

Somebody accuses me anti Semitism. I mean, I guess you can, but it don't work. Number one, I. I receive anti Semitism for many years because people think I'm Jewish a lot.

[Jimmy Dore]

Me too.

[Kurt]

And I'm from New York, dude. I mean, I've been knee deep and curly ass Bible for 20 years. You know, ain't nobody can tell me I don't know. Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

Like I said, that's. If I'm not with you, that's your fault. That's not my fault. I don't debate anybody. I want you to make convince me that what I saw with My eyes is wrong. That's what I want you to be. Right. If you're so Zionist, make me not see the awful shit I've seen for the last two years. Please, please do that for me.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this guy John Oliver, who is a douchebag, did a great segment. It doesn't mean he can't do a great segment now and then. But he's an establishment shill for sure. He's there to keep you voting Democrat, to keep you believing in the two party system. That's what John Oliver's job is. He's there to gaslight you about real solutions and he's there to stoke your hate for half the country.

[Kurt]

He doesn't want to be deported.

[Jimmy Dore]

But here he did a video where he made he. So the reason why I want to show this is because I was at dinner the other night and people cannot help but bring up when Donald Trump lies. Like, do you see that thing where he brought up the chart and he was lying about it? Did you think the thing where the guy and he was lying about the chart and everybody. And I'm like, yeah, it's not a big deal to me that the president is lying about economic numbers.

[Kurt]

Remember when an autopen was your president? Geniuses.

[Jimmy Dore]

And I didn't want to get in an argument, I didn't want to go, you know, we just went through four years of a guy who wasn't actually president. They lied and told us he was. But these are the lies that bother you. I mean, they should all bother you. I'm not saying. But this pretend that Donald Trump is some kind of a unique liar or some kind of uniquely corrupt politician. I don't know why it rubs me the wrong way, but it does. Is Donald Trump insane? Is he a liar? Yes. Is he a corrupt politician? Yes. Is he different than any other politician or president? No.

[Kurt]

You know what you do, Jimmy? I realize more and more go all in on their viewpoint to the point of absurdity. That's the best move. Go. I know we've never had a liar before Donald Trump. We had a great system.

[Jimmy Dore]

I wish we could get back to the Joe Biden someone you can believe.

[Kurt]

I wish I could put my mask back on for Covid.

[Jimmy Dore]

A guy who had a guy who had to pardon his entire family fucking family.

[Kurt]

Back to 2014.

[Jimmy Dore]

Back to 2014.

[Kurt]

Because they're not human traffickers.

[Jimmy Dore]

Even though he spent four years saying nobody's above the law, apparently nobody is the name of his entire family.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

So John Oliver did this. So the reason why I Wanted to show this was to show you that not only are Democrats just as big a liar, but they're maniacal and psychopathic liars. And Chuck Schumer had invented. Well, he invented. Well, let's watch.

[Interjecting Commentator]

But I actually want to talk less about Chuck Schumer himself and more about two of his favorite people, Joe and Eileen Bailey. They're a couple that, throughout Schumer's career, he has talked about a lot.

[John Oliver]

They're a middle class couple in Massapequa, which is a suburb on Long Island. Joe and Eileen Bailey, this middle class couple, they bought into Reagan Republicanism in 1980. Joe and Eileen are worried about losing their jobs or their friends jobs. The Baileys really don't believe in trickle down. They don't believe in a whole lot of government spending, but they believe in tax breaks for kids to go to college. He's an insurance adjuster and lives in the New York suburbs. By New York standards, he makes 50,000 a year. If he lived in the middle of the country, he'd make 40. Wife works in a medical office. She makes about 20. She might make 15 elsewhere. And, you know, I have guided my political life through the Baileys.

[Interjecting Commentator]

The Baileys have guided Chuck Schumer's political life, which is a little weird, given they don't exist. Seriously, he invented them. Schumer first introduced the world to the baileys in his 2007 book, Positively Winning Back the Middle Class Majority One Family at a Time. In it, he mentions the Baileys an astonishing 265 times in 264 pages. But he'd apparently been talking about them for years before the book was published. One of his former spokespeople said he's always asking, what would the Baileys think? And to be fair, Schumer acknowledges that some may find this a little weird.

[John Oliver]

If you ask my staff, I've been talking about and talking to the Baileys for 15 years. I have conversations with them. One of my staffers once said I had imaginary friends to the press got me inside. But these people are real, and I respect them and I really love them and I care about them.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Okay, sure, but they're literally not real, Chuck. But even if you can understand the potential utility of creating a prototypical voter in your head, this goes way beyond that, because Schumer's given the Baileys an unnecessarily detailed backstory. For instance, he said Joe takes off his cap and sings along with the national anthem before the occasional Islanders game. Okay. And when their daughter Meghan. Oh, yeah, they've Got Kids, by the way, told Eileen a friend was caught cheating on a quiz. Eileen was appalled because lying is not tolerated in the house.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ever.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Also, Eileen apparently helps with the clothing tribe at her church and her father had a prostate cancer scare a few years ago. Again, this is a made up family. None of these people exist. But wait, I'm still not done. Apparently Joe Bailey would never have a goatee. They watch Sex in the City and Desperate Housewives, though Joe pretends not to like either show. They think most baseball players probably take steroids and if they were to ever go out to a Chinese restaurant, they would order Kung Pao chicken. That is a JRR Tolkien level of gratuitous backstory, and I don't say that lightly. But the Baileys do seem to have a lot of sway over Schumer's politics as he's brought them up when discussing everything from the 2008 financial crisis, which he framed as protecting the security the Baileys feel when they go online to buy birthday presents. And to hear Schumer tell it, the Baileys views can be complicated.

[John Oliver]

The Baileys are not anti immigration, but they are anti illegal immigration. They really dislike the Enron executives who stole money, but they hate the people who burn the flag even more. They are pro choice. They understand that a fundamental decision like that should be made by the individual, but they're glad their church isn't.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Really? Are you sure about that? And the more you hear about the Baileys, the more it feels like they represent a very particular slice of the electorate. Schumer said that they supported the civil rights and anti Vietnam War movements because they understood that morality was on the side of the protesters. But starting in the late 60s, when those protesters cursed the returning veterans and Stokely Carmichael advocated armed resistance against the white ruling class, the Baileys were lost. Which, fun fact, is both a misleading history of the civil rights movement and what people who never supported it tend to say. And yet Schumer will insist the Baileys concerns are widespread and that they could just as easily have been the Ramirezes, the Kim's of Elk Grove, California, or the Saleems of Dearborn, Michigan. But crucially, for all he talks about how much he loves the Baileys, they don't seem to return that love because in 2021 he explained how the Baileys had voted in the past few presidential elections.

[John Oliver]

They voted for Clinton and then they voted for Bush. They're not a member of one party or another. They're independent.

[Jimmy Dore]

Did they vote for Donald Trump?

[John Oliver]

Both of them did in 2016. Joe Bailey still did in 2020 with misgivings, but she didn't.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Yeah, the Baileys voted for Trump. And just this March, a reporter actually got an update on their voting history.

[Jimmy Dore]

You said the Baileys voted for Trump in 2016. They split Trump, Biden in 2020.

[Kurt]

I'm wondering who they voted for in 2024.

[John Oliver]

Probably voted for Trump. Probably voted for Trump. But if you ask them why, I think they'd say, above all, crime.

[Interjecting Commentator]

Okay, so to recap, of the six votes the Baileys had across the last three presidential elections, five went to Donald Trump, most recently because of crime, which, for what it's worth, was down in every category last year, with violent crime at its lowest rate in 20 years. They also think the civil rights movement went too far and aren't against, against immigration, just illegal immigration. And this is the couple who, in Chuck Schumer's own words, have guided his political life. And at this point, it might be worth asking, is that a good idea? Because the truth is, Schumer's devotion to his imaginary friends may help explain why he and the Democratic Party have been so underwhelming in recent years. Because he seems to be focusing a huge amount on the interest of the Baileys from Long island while forgetting other voters actually exist. And look, I'm not saying that we shouldn't think about how his messaging plays with suburban middle class voters with pretty right off center views or that they're not theoretically winnable in the future. What I am saying is by tailoring your policies so heavily to them, you are pulling yourself to the right. And in doing so, could be alienating not only the rest of your base, but new voters looking for a party that speaks for them. So, Senator Schumer, at least when it comes to formulating policy, it might be time to break up with the Baileys, which really shouldn't be that hard to do given that politically, it seems they've already broken up with you.

[Jimmy Dore]

So go ahead, turn Kurt up. Go ahead.

[Kurt]

Yeah, Schumer's more in touch with voters than this idiot, by the way. That's exactly kind of stupid. Do they sound stupid? Yeah, that's what the people are mostly. And. And so Oliver imagines in his head he's talking to their kids. You know, millennials that like John Oliver, just like some boomer liberals and their dumb kids watch John Oliver and laugh at the boomer liberals. But they're going to be them if they're lucky. If they're lucky and can get a house, they'll be them. His home country of UK that I'm sure he never wants to go back to, by the way. He's like something out of love, actually. Like he really thinks that voting is real. Still, Chuck Schumer and that weird occultic tulpa he made in his mind are closer to reality than this dipshit here. Because they all love Schumer. Before they're all Colbert's dancing around with them. Remember Colbert? Nice vaccine dance.

[Jimmy Dore]

They're high fiving shoes.

[Kurt]

So now you got a problem with the Baileys? Fuck Oliver. I'm on Schumer side. I'm gonna start putting cheese on raw hamburger now.

[Jimmy Dore]

So the reason why I showed you that was because it's funny. But B, the real reason I showed you that is because when people tell you that Donald Trump and they love to go and it's easy to make fun of Donald Trump, everybody does it. That's why it's so easy. Right. And because he's basically a salesman as a president. Right. He didn't come up.

[Kurt]

It's hard now he didn't come because I want to make fun of his support of Israel and you can't really do that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Or you get kicked out. But it's just this idea that Donald Trump invented lying or that he's the only one or he's the worst or whatever that set that what he just showed you there is psychopathology. That this through 30, 40 years he's had this made up couple that he insists is real. He can't just say, you know, Joe Blow and his wife on Long Island. I know these people. This is what they think. Like he has to make up a. He made up that their kids had. He had a cancer scare and his kids got caught on a thing and he made. They made up. He made up.

[Kurt]

He read stats. He based this egregore. He created his head off of real stats that he knows about. The question is, if you knew how the Baileys felt this whole time, why were you the fake Trump opponent?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

Why were you. Why were you kneeling to BLM with a whatever the hell Kenya scarf they all did that with? Like, you knew about this the whole time and you're. Your fictitious family. You knew about what they wanted the whole time and you went against it. And now suddenly this loser John Oliver, who should be put in a catapult and sent back to the UK immediately, he just noticed you suck. Schumer's right. In this case, the imaginary family that he thought up in his head is closer to reality than any New York liberal moron.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's a fact. Okay? But that's not the point of me showing this. The point of me showing this.

[Kurt]

I loved it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Is to show you how crazy the Democratic leader in the Senate is and has been and has been for decades and decades. They're all crazy. They all spin sensational, sensational, fabulous stories. They're all fabulous.

[Kurt]

We only mock it when it's okay. Now it's okay for John Oliver to bring it up.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. Yeah, that's right. That's another thing that's not. Now it's okay for John Oliver to mock it, I guess. I guess. Because what I think happened was the phone call went out. We got to get rid of Chuck Schumer. Oh, so now, so now it's okay to make fun of him. They're going to get AOC to take his job. So there's a plan by the donor class behind the scene, and John Oliver got the note somehow that it's okay to make fun of Chuck Schumer now because we're going to get rid of him.

[Kurt]

They don't even have to let him in on the plan, by the way.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's what I think happened. In fact, here May says, Fun fact, in 2007, Schumer changed the name of the Baileys. Before 2007, he called them Joe and Eileen O'Reilly. He changed the name of his imaginary friends for his book. So Scott Jennings had tweeted out if you, you know, he's. That he's the right wing commentator that's hired to be on the panels at cnn. He says, if you don't watch anything else today, take seven minutes and behold that Chuck Sch has invented fictional New Yorkers named the Baileys, developed an entire backstory for them over several years, and bases entire worldview on them. Does he belong in the Senate or an asylum? So that's pretty funny. But this person here says the Baileys are a fictional construct based on a high level hypothetical. This is too complex for simple minds like Scott Jennings. So they think you are crazy. No, that's not what that is. Chuck Schumer didn't say this is a construct or I'm basing this on a amalgamation of a bunch of people that I know. No, he's saying these are real people. He's inventing fake people, giving you fake backstories, selling you that. He talked to them. He talks to them. He said, I talked to them. So this isn't. This isn't what that is. This is a guy being A psychopathic liar.

[Kurt]

Well, okay, he is. But the thing that's funny is if you know Long island, that incoherence is literally a lot of the Tim Dillon talks about non stop because he's from there. They're like that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Kurt]

The thing that's weird is to make up a fake family instead of, you know, a real one.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Why not?

[Kurt]

Weird amalgam family.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why does he choose a real family? Because he doesn't actually talk to anybody. He cooks cheese on the ground. You see how he cooks a cheeseburger, Kurt?

[Kurt]

I'm surprised how in touch he is with the pulse of Long island with his made up family. I'm genuinely impressed. All these people there. It's not hypotheticals.

[Jimmy Dore]

So why make up a family? Why make up a family? That's the, that's the, that's the part.

[Kurt]

That shows you how to offend any specific real people, you know, from Long island is my guess.

[Joe Scarborough]

The people that are cheering this on privately are not like right wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media and also Democrats that worked on Joe Biden's campaign, that worked on other campaigns that are saying, yeah, I'd like to feel safe walking around this city.

[Jimmy Dore]

So we've been talking about Trump's takeover of D.C. and the left's hair is on fire over it. Right. And we got to see how this shakes out. We've been talking about, like, what is he going to do with homeless people? 25% of homeless people are children. Are you just going to take the homeless people and put them in prison? So we've been, we've been talking a lot about it, but guess an unlikely ally in Trump's idea to take over the police departments of Democrat cities. Msnbc. You think I'm kidding? Yes.

[Kurt]

Morning Joe.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's Morning Joe. Listen to what Morning Joe Ball says.

[Joe Scarborough]

As long as the President focuses and the FBI focuses and the National Guard focuses on safety and security and not being an ominous force in that city, but just providing support in a partnership role to the D.C. police, that'll be a great thing. If they step over that line, obviously that's something that, you know, we can do two things at once. And if they move into a more ominous role, that is something that we need to obviously, and everybody needs to bring up with real concerns. But I will, you know, I will just go back to the fact that, you know, the people that are cheering this on privately are not like right wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media and also Democrats. And that worked on Joe Biden's campaign, that worked on other campaigns that are saying, yeah, I'd like to feel safe walking around this city if the federal.

[Jimmy Dore]

So there is Joe Scarborough telling you that the people who are quietly cheering on Donald Trump's takeover of the D.C. police and his crackdown, authoritative crackdown. The people who are cheering that on aren't maga. He's saying the people are cheering that are people in the media, people who worked for Joe Biden, Democrats who worked in the Joe Biden White House. That's what he's saying, that the people cheering this on are quietly, not publicly. The people quietly cheering this on. That's what he just said.

[Kurt]

Why aren't they loudly cheering it on if they're so afraid? Are you that much of a. Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

They don't want to. They don't. They can't be seen being on the side of Trump. Kurt.

[Kurt]

Well, I mean, that's more than your safety. This is what some people are so loud.

[Jimmy Dore]

Just why they all went along with the, with the, with the completely manufactured trans crisis in this country. There never was a trans crisis. And it was manufactured by J.B. pritzker's family by, this, by, you know, by the intelligence community. And it's another way to keep people divided. And it worked like a child. It didn't cut it right. So, no, it's a big pharma thing. And it, it came from blackrock, it came from the top of the three companies that own everything. So. And here he is telling you that the people who are cheering this on are Democrats who worked for Joe Biden, people in the media, maybe because Joe.

[Kurt]

Scarborough is hoping Trump's police will find the real killers of his mistress.

[Joe Scarborough]

That time government can be a positive partner in keeping the street safe while again, forming a partnership with the D.C. police and not taking over. Then I, at least the people I've spoken with that live in D.C. day in, day out, see this at.

[Jimmy Dore]

So there he is. And Here, here is Mr. Hardball himself, Chris Hardball. They brought him back on to talk about this and he's going to tell you that Trump has got the Democrats in a pickle because they're out there defending crime Watch. Watch this. And the murder rate. You can't keep saying violent crime is down, but the murder rate's up. To the average person, the murder up is about life and death. You don't brag about a rising murder rate. And the Democrats are. I agree with you, Mika. They're falling into the trap of defending what's indefensible. It's a trap. Yes, it's a trap. I mean, if it's not a winner politically to say, oh, you're wrong, look at the data. Because, you know, if one violent crime happens in a very heavily populated part of the city, people hear about it and it's visceral. They don't want it. And they want to, they'll gravitate to the person who appears to be doing something about it.

[Kurt]

To the average. Do you hear what he said? He said the average person, Murder is life and death, I think, to all the persons, Chris, Murder is life and death to all the persons. Unless you guys have some secret technology, I don't.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they're, they're saying that this is bad for the Democrats. They're seen as defending the indefensible, saying, sure, the murder rate's gone up, but rest of the crimes out like that doesn't, that doesn't cut it.

[Kurt]

It.

[Jimmy Dore]

The worst one. Yeah, the worst one's up.

[Kurt]

That's way up, though. But everything else.

[Jimmy Dore]

Everything else. So let me play Joe Scarborough one more time for you.

[Joe Scarborough]

As long as the president focuses, the FBI focuses and the National Guard focuses on safety and security and not being an ominous force in that city, but just providing support in a partnership role to the D.C. police, that'll be a great thing. If they step over that line, obviously, that's something that, you know, we can do two things at once. And if they move into a more ominous role, that is something that we need to obviously and everybody needs to bring up with real concerns. But I will, you know, I will just go back to the fact that, you know, the people that are cheering this on privately are not like right wing Republicans, are not MAGA people. A lot of our friends are in the media and also Democrats that worked on Joe Biden's campaign, that worked on other campaigns that are saying, yeah, I'd like to feel safe walking around this city. If the federal government can be a positive partner in keeping the street safe while again forming a partnership with the D.C. police and not taking over, then I, at least the people I've spoken with that live in D.C. day in, day out see this at, as a.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm going to guess he's going to say as a positive, but that's where the clip ends. I got that from Carly.

[Kurt]

Remember he went and kissed Trump's hand, the ring, right away because Trump used to talk about so much, look into Joe, Joe's mistress. So sad as she was killed. Very suspicious. Remember he was throwing that out back in 2016 and they were furious at him and all of a sudden they're kissing his ring because now that new daddy controls that file, I guess. So the Democrats are done. I don't know why people think there's hope for them at all. There's not.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, the only hope these people, the only hope for the Democrats is Trump. That mean that's. They don't have to do anything. They don't have to be good. Kamala Harris didn't have to have a campaign that made sense. She didn't have to appear to believe in anything. Because if you don't vote for me, Trump. Yeah, it's the greatest get out of jail free card. It's the greatest get out of jail free card in the history of politics. And the Democrats have been playing that since 2016. Yeah, I know I'm horrible, but Trump, I know I'm demented, but Trump, I know I'm lying. I know I'm lying to you about being, being demented, but Trump, I know I'm lying to you about giving you a public option. But Trump, I'm lying to you about a minimum wage. But Trump, they've been playing that card. That's the only card they have to play because the Democrats are horrible. And just as, just as we had Dylan Ratigan say, the worst thing that could come of this is people thinking that the Democrats are an alternative. Then that's been domino and that's been, that's been the message of this show is that you're a fool if you fall back into this. Democrats are better than Republicans or Republicans are better than Democrats because here we are.

[Kurt]

You live in the two lie system, ok? Two lies are Republicans and Democrats and they switch back and forth every few years. Remember the Reagan Democrats get ready in the future for the Trump Democrats. The Democrats, like Joe Scarborough is going to be a proto Trump Democrat where they're like, hey, this is craziness. We should have some rules. We need police. They'll all be united by their love of Israel, though, I can promise you that. Don't worry about that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, they're all joined by their love of Israel.

[Kurt]

We have more common than we have.

[Jimmy Dore]

How wild that Joe Scarborough spills the beans and that the people quietly cheering on Trump's takeover of the D.C. police are Democrats, powerful Democrats who worked and powerful people in the media. That's pretty, that's pretty interesting.

[Kurt]

I think it's a great. Well, actually it was Chris Hardball. Chris Hardball. Said this, but. But I think it's amazing that these elites have figured out that to the average person, murder is life. Were you from your ivory tower above death itself, you finally realized, what the hell? What was that?
