The Jimmy Dore Show

Episode: Here’s What CBS Secretly CUT OUT Of Netanyahu’s Interview!
Date: May 15, 2026
Host: Jimmy Dore
Guests/Regulars: Kurt, British Political Commentator, Unknown Trump Associate

Overview

This episode breaks down controversial, unaired segments from CBS's interview with Benjamin Netanyahu, arguing that mainstream media, in collaboration with influential pro-Israel interests, deliberately concealed key remarks that reveal the extent of Israeli influence on U.S. foreign policy. The show lambasts both Netanyahu’s hawkish positions and the American political class’s willingness to fund and fight Israel’s wars—even at American expense. The latter half dissects Trump’s new interventionism, evangelical idolatry surrounding Trump, the intertwining of Zionism and U.S. elites, and the broader implications for democracy.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. What CBS and Bari Weiss "Secretly" Edited Out of the Netanyahu Interview

• Jimmy introduces the topic by harshly criticizing Netanyahu and previewing the controversial unaired CBS interview remarks which “establishment media” supposedly hid to protect Israeli interests.

  • “A foreign leader sets the mission, dodges the means, refuses a timeline, and your kids fight it. Your taxes fund it, your dollar inflates for it. This is Israel dictating your foreign policy. Reject it.” — Jimmy [03:53]

• Netanyahu says the war with Iran is “not over,” emphasizing removal of enriched uranium and military options—which the U.S. would, by implication, have to carry out.

  • [02:22] Netanyahu: “There’s still nuclear material, enriched uranium, that has to be taken out of Iran…there’s work to be done.”
  • [02:47] Interviewer: “How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran?” — Netanyahu: “You go in and you take it out.”

• Dore and Kurt mock Netanyahu’s evasiveness, suggesting Israeli leaders expect the U.S. to do the heavy lifting:

  • [02:55] Jimmy: “I’m not going to talk about military means because it’s going to be all American kids doing it. It’s not going to be Israelis.”
  • [03:08] Kurt: “Not with our soldiers. With your soldiers and your money.”

• Dore insists that key moments were selectively edited out, notably:

  1. Netanyahu’s claims about orchestrated anti-Israel sentiment on social media being "bot farms."
  2. Assertion that Americans critical of Israel "hate America."
  3. Israel’s information warfare plans to mobilize against critics online.

2. The Narrative of Israeli Influence and American Complicity

• Claims that U.S. Presidents (specifically Trump) are manipulated or “owned” by Israel and its lobby:

  • [06:10] Narrator: “Now he wants you all to know he was really clear on the risk and uncertainty that he advised the president of. Okay, so it’s Trump’s fault. That’s really what he’s saying.”
  • [10:36] Jimmy: “Iran holds all the cards…because Donald Trump is owned by Israel, the Zionist lobby and Benjamin Netanyahu, and that’s just a fact.”

• Questions the authenticity of podcasters, politicians, and media figures, suggesting many are “compromised” by Israeli money and interests.

  • [12:46] Jimmy: “Anybody telling you Charlie Robinson pushing the FBI narrative of Charlie Kirk…is 100% on the take being bribed and compromised 100%.”

• The hosts discuss “PR wars,” including Israel’s declared billion-dollar PR spending and implication that dissenting American voices, including popular podcasters, are being “paid millions” to push pro-Israel or FBI narratives.

3. Trump, Iran, and the Hypocrisy of “America First”

• Plays and dissects a Trump interview snippet where he asserts he doesn’t care about Americans’ financial situations when it comes to confronting Iran:

  • [18:00] Trump (clip): “Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation…”
  • [19:41] Jimmy: “So, why can’t Iran have a nuke? Why can Israel have a nuke?...For some reason, Iran can’t have a nuke.”

• Hosts highlight the double standard applied to nuclear weapons globally and point out that Trump’s policies contradict his "America First" campaign slogans.

• Discussion of escalating fuel prices, economic hardship, and administration excuses.

  • [20:52] Jimmy: “I don’t know how people can afford anything here when gas is $7 a gallon. I don’t understand it.”

4. Corruption, Idolatry, and Trump Cultism

• Detailed discussion of the unveiling and theology behind a giant golden statue of Trump (“Don Colossus”) at one of his Florida golf courses, constructed with support from evangelical leaders.

• Kurt connects the statue’s symbolism to biblical idolatry and occult societies (Seven Mountains, NAR Dominionism), suggesting it is a ritual signal of theocratic ambitions tied to Zionism and right-wing evangelicalism.

  • [36:12] Kurt: “It’s layered with symbolism…signifies dominating the mountain of government. And pretty soon, we get that central digital currency, that’ll be finance, there’ll be two mountains conquered.”

• Burns, the pastor behind the statue, denies any idolatrous intent, but Jimmy and Kurt mock the justification, pointing out the irony and hypocrisy.

5. International View: A “Catastrophic Mistake” and the Question of Blackmail

• British Political Commentator joins to represent European perspective:

  • [44:22] British Political Commentator: “That is the overwhelming view in London. Every part of the British political class thinks it: this is a catastrophic mistake, that Trump was talked into this by Netanyahu…”

• Discussion about whether Trump is “compromised” by blackmail or simply manipulated via vanity, grandiosity, or money:

  • [46:14] British Political Commentator: “Many people talk about this in London…We don’t have any concrete information…if people have pressure points to put on him, it is more likely to be money than anything else.”

• Points out that Trump may be seeking a legacy, being seduced by promises of historical greatness for defeating Iran.

6. White House Disarray and Profit Motives

• Critiques chaos and questionable motives in Trump’s inner circle:

  • [48:42] Unknown Trump Associate: “This second term of Trump’s is very profit driven…they treat it like some sort of business deal, some sort of real estate deal, there’s some sort of profit motive behind it.”

  • Discusses Jared Kushner’s recurring role as key negotiator in multiple areas, despite lack of formal appointment and personal enrichment from Saudi deals.

  • [50:47] Jimmy: “They’re not acting in the interest of the United States, because if they were, they would have got a peace deal, but they’re acting in the interest of Israel.”

[Kurt]

But his name means gift from God.

A guy who slaughters babies. That's. That's what a guy looks like.

[Kurt]

A gift from God.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Megyn Kelly caught this BB implies that everyone who posts a mean comment about Israel on social media is part of a bot farm. And for some reason 60 minutes edited that part out of their interview. So let's, let's watch. Let's watch Megyn Kelly. Let's watch this and then we'll get Megan Kelly to talk about it.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

The interview began with Bibi saying the war is not over. And here's an extended version that's slightly longer than what you might have seen if you watched 60 Minutes last night.

[Interviewer]

Is the war with Iran over? And if it isn't who will decide when it is.

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

I think it accomplished a great deal, but it's not over because there's still nuclear material, enriched uranium that has to be taken out of Iran. There's still enrichment sites that have to be dismantled. There are still proxies that Iran supports. There are ballistic missiles that they still want to produce. Now, we've degraded a lot of it, but all that is still there, and there's work to be done.

[Interviewer]

How do you envision the highly enriched uranium will be removed from Iran?

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

You go in and you take it out.

[Interviewer]

With what? Special forces from Israel? Special forces from the United States.

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

Well, I'm not going to talk about military means, but the president, what President Trump has said.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm not. I'm not going to talk about military means because it's going to be all American kids doing it. It's not going to be Israelis. That. That's why suck.

[Kurt]

We can't fight in Lebanon. We're getting killed by sheep drones from Lebanon. Obviously, we're not going to do Shabbat goy work.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's. That's exactly right. Not. Not with our soldiers. With your soldiers and your money.

[Kurt]

Okay, There you go, you Shabbas pigs.

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

Me, I, I want to go in there, and I think it can be done physically. That's not the problem. If you have an agreement and you go in and you take it out, why not? That's the best way.

[Interviewer]

What if there isn't an agreement? Can it be taken out by force?

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

Well, you're going to ask me these questions, I'm going to dodge them, because I'm not going to talk about our military possibilities, plans or anything of the kind.

[Interviewer]

And I'm just trying to get at how long is it going to take to achieve that aim.

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

I'm not going to give a timetable to it, but I'm going to say that's a terrifically important mission.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

I mean, okay, our president doesn't seem to have the appetite for this.

[Jimmy Dore]

I like what the space ape says. Holy crap. Foreign prime minister just told American media your war isn't over and casually floated sending your sons into Iran to grab uranium. So a foreign. A foreign leader sets the mission, dodges the means, refuses a timeline, and your kids fight it. Your taxes fund it, your dollar inflates for it. This is Israel dictating your foreign policy. Reject it. I'm with you here. So here's the. Here's the second part. Here's the. Here's the second thing that they edited.

[Interviewer]

Let's listen New York Times on April 7 reported the following about a fateful meeting February 11 in the White House. And the New York Times reports as follows, quote, in the situation room on February 11, Mr. Netanyahu made a hard sell, suggesting that Iran was ripe for regime change and expressing the belief that a joint U.S. israeli mission could finally bring an end to the Iranian, to the Islamic Republic.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this is when Trump decided. They're talking about the meeting at the White House war room when Trump decided to go to war with Iran. And it was all because of this guy. This is what he's talking about. Let's listen.

[Interviewer]

Is that correct?

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

No, that's actually incorrect.

[Interviewer]

Because in what ways is it incorrect?

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

It's incorrect in the sense that I said, oh, well, it's guaranteed we can do it, and so on. I didn't say that. We both understood that we have little time to act because otherwise they'd get nuclear weapons. We both understood that we have little time to act because otherwise they'll bury underground their ballistic missile capabilities. But while we were. We said that part of the action would be the removal of the leadership and other measures. There was uncertainty. And we said all of this, you know, is uncertain if you ever, you know, engage in military.

[Interviewer]

In the confines of that conversation, you noted the uncertainty.

[Benjamin Netanyahu]

Not only did I noted, we both agreed, you know, that there was both uncertainty and risk involved.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

Okay, got it. Now he wants to underscore that he was really clear with President Trump on the risk and uncertainty around his plan, you know, his assurances that we could take out the ayatollah and effect regime change easy, three, four days, tops. Now, he wants you all to know he was really clear on the risk and uncertainty that he advised the president of. Okay, so it's Trump's fault. That's really what he's saying.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

He advised the risk, and Trump overruled him. Is that true?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

Or is he possibly overstating the amount of caution that he laced his remarks in? And here's an important answer here. Netanyahu on why America and Israel. And Israel did not anticipate Iran doing the one thing that has changed this entire conflict and indeed has changed Iran's standing in the war in the world. Iran, it's now calling itself a global superpower, and it's not the only one I've seen very smart military analysts say. Unfortunately, that's become true, and that's the straight of Hormuz. Why didn't we anticipate Israel not didn't anticipate it in the United States apparently didn't take it seriously. The reports are that Trump didn't believe they could do it and that Netanyahu had told him it wasn't realistic. But they've done it. They've done it. And it's the thing that is holding everything up. It's holding up the closure.

[Jimmy Dore]

So there you go. Why didn't they anticipate that they would do that? Why didn't they know that they were going to close the Strait of Hormuz? What? There's no answer for that. But they. So they. So those were the long versions of both of those clips. They only aired short versions of those clips on cn, on cbcbs.

[Kurt]

Jimmy. And I think they did know that they would close the cdc.

[Jimmy Dore]

I think they did know because that's

[Kurt]

how we got into World War II by around with people's oil. Right?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep, they knew. Exactly. So but there was another thing that they, they cuck out completely. I think this is it. Megyn Kelly might talk about it. Let's listen.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

Last night, these two moments from the last two sound bites, they were those,

[Jimmy Dore]

those last two sound bites I showed you, they, they only, that's the long version. They only aired the short version here. Here we go.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

Last night, these two moments from the last two sound bites, they were shortened. They were combined as if they happened back to back, you know, with the phone. Now, they didn't include the comment about how Israel will be fighting back. They teased they will use the same tactics to fight fire with fire on the social media front. Well, they're doing it. Okay. They're doing that. Bibi said it several times throughout the full interview, but none of that made the broadcast version. So why didn't that go in there? Why? There were also several references by Netanyahu to the Americans turning against Israel, saying that they also hate America. Oh, they do. Okay. So according to Netanyahu, if you are against Israel and its tactics militarily, you hate your own country here in America. You hate America.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's what Netanyahu said. And Bari Weiss and CBS cut it out.

[Narrator/Interviewer]

This is a talking point we've seen from the prominent pro Israel media voices in the past few weeks. It seems to be like a new favorite. All of those references were cut from the broadcast version of the interview. Why? Why did Barry Weiss and her CBS cut from the interview of Netanyahu all the references by Netanyahu attacking Americans who have questions about Israel as anti American? Is it possible they believed that might make him look bad and further alienate Americans?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, that's exactly why they did that.

[Kurt]

They're losing Sam Harris.

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Kurt]

Bad. It's gotten. Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

No. How so?

[Kurt]

Sam Brain Dead Harris. Yeah. Go. It's on. What's his name? I keep calling him Pfu. Pfu? Yeah. PF Chang or Jung. PF Young. He had the clips of Sam Harris and them talking about it. So many Israelis have left Israel. Who's there? The hardcore faithful. Maniacs. So no, they're not happy with Netanyahu. There's no way the war is going to end. That's the main thing. The main thing is something's going to happen and the war is going to continue because Israel has a secret base in Iraq that they just built. Remember that?

[Jimmy Dore]

So Trump might not want to attack Iran anymore, but Israel is going to continue.

[Kurt]

Trump's not in charge of shit.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right. So Israel will continue to attack Iran and even if Trump doesn't, because we're basically out of missiles and stuff. I don't know if people know that. And Iran is not. Iran has probably 100% more missiles than the CIA said they did and Trump said they did.

[Kurt]

So there's no way to explain us having better intel than the President of the United States other than this is intentional.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Kurt]

There's no other way to explain it.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Iran holds all the cards, just as Megyn Kelly said. They're now being referred to as a superpower because of this war. Wait, they have nukes and they're going to control the strait of hormone moves because of this. So think everything went bad? Everything went bad for. For the United States and nothing good. And because Donald Trump is owned by Israel, the Zionist lobby and Benjamin Netanyahu, and that's just a fact. And I don't care. Whatever. No, what? What any other podcaster you listen to. Stop listening to Fox News and stop listening to those people. The people who tell you Tyler Robinson killed Charlie Kirk. Stop listening to those people. Those people. Stop watching Germany from the quartering. Those people are obviously being paid by somebody. It's certainly because there's no other explanation for it. They're being paid by either Israel directly. They're either being played by Miriam Adelson or a Jewish donor or aipac. They're being paid to wreck their own criminal shows. And it's worth it to them. That's how much money they're being paid. You know, Israel just said they're going to spend a billion dollars on pr. That's just them admitting that's what they're admitting, that Israel itself is Spending. That's not Miriam Adelson. That's not apec. That's not all the other Jewish billionaires. That's so that's just that. Imagine how many millions and millions of dollars these podcasters are getting to lie to you about Charlie Kirk's death, Tyler Robinson, the Iran war, and Trump and everything else. Imagine they must be getting millions and millions of dollars because there's no. Doesn't make any sense that they would say any of this stuff because none of it makes sense.

[Kurt]

If you're compromised by the way, you won't engage with the idea that this is a setup, which, by the way, Joe Rogan does do. So that's how you know he's not camping. You compromise. If you go, oh, stop with you. If I start gaslighting you about the 30 odd six thing with Tyler Robinson, like all these liars do, the second someone does that, you know they're your enemy and they hate you and they work for a traitor, and they're a traitor.

[Jimmy Dore]

Anybody telling you Charlie Robinson pushing the FBI narrative of Charlie Kirk, anybody doing that with a show is 100% on the take being bribed and is compromised 100%. And I'm not saying a little money. I'm not saying $7,000. I'm saying probably to the tune of millions of dol. The bigger the platform, the more millions they're getting. Now do I think, what's that?

[Kurt]

Shellenberger. Why he's no good. It's a Peter Thiel guy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, there you go. So that's why Shellenberger's lying to you left and right about all things that. And it all goes back to Israel. He's lying to you about Charlie Kirk and Tyler Robinson. He's lying to you about Epstein. He's lying to you about Epstein killing himself. Everything he's lying to you about goes back to Israel. So he is compromised. So those. And the bigger, more prominent they are, the more money they're getting. And it's not a little money, because it's got to be a lot of money for them to completely wreck their reputations for it.

[Kurt]

Or their reputation. They were always. You ever see the Departed? Or they were put in school from the very start to be who they are and where they are now?

[Jimmy Dore]

Or that. Well, Charlie was. And then Charlie woke up to that he was one of those people and Charlie went against it and that's why they killed him. Charlie woke up to the fact that he. He was one big Zionist operation. His whole TPUSA was designed for Zionism he woke up to that. And as soon as he did and he went against it and he rejected their money, they killed him. That's exactly what happened.

[Kurt]

He was supposed to be president and

[Jimmy Dore]

he was going to be president. And so they can't have that. And so now. So again, anybody pushing this Fed slop is getting. I've got to imagine it's got to be at least millions and millions because these people make millions of dollars their own shows a year. Right? Now, I don't know about. I don't know about pbd. I think he's just a Zionist. I don't think he's taking money because he's got all the money in the world already, right? So I just think he. That's just the way the gears work for him. He's just a Zionist.

[Kurt]

Billionaire thinks. You know how billionaires think that billionaires are good. It's a thing we should still have.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I don't. I think everybody else except him, because I don't think you could buy him. He's got all the money in the world and that's just what he thinks. And at least. And he will bring about people on his own show to debate him, which those other people won't. They won't bring any. Bring anybody credible enough to do to wipe the floor with them. Right? They're not going to bring on Max Blumenthal. They're not going to bring on Baron Coleman. They're not going to.

[Kurt]

Those people are just wrong, too. Besides being a shill, the best thing is if you're just wrong, which is a lot easier to do. But the way you do it is with controlled people that lead people into just being wrong. Because everybody is. Is trained to. Who do you like? I like PBD or I don't like him. I don't like making Kelly. So I don't. And so everybody's trained to be a high school idiot. That's what we have school for, to turn you into this stupid thing. Everyone is. So that's why they go, oh, you believe Candace Owens?

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, my God.

[Kurt]

No, no, it has nothing to do with her.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, I believe the evidence. I believe the evidence. And she happens to believe the evidence, too.

[Kurt]

We do not owe the government presume they're innocent. We owe the government presume they're guilty. That's why we get the presumption of innocence, right? Because it's presuming the government is going to be guilty if we don't have that. So Michael Shellenberger, that piece of garbage making Alan Dershowitz arguments about how I'm not allowed to jump to conclusions about the scum that go to Epstein Island. Go fuck you. Oh, Joe Rogan never went. The one guy that never went, by the way.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Kurt]

Well, two people never went. I forget the other one. But Joe, he told me about it a long time ago. Lawrence Krause tried to lure him there. So I don't hear he's compromised compared to all the other people you think are good. This is America. It's the land of the plume serpent, devil country. Everyone's compromised because they live here. That's what it is.

I don't know if you've seen this, Kurt, but. So he was asked about Iran and the. Regarding the Iran war, Trump says Americans financial situations don't matter to him. Not even one bit. When the GOP gets annihilated in November. Don't you dare blame Tucker or Megan or Candace or Fuentes or Massey. Just watch this over and over. Let's watch this together. Let's watch it.

[Kurt]

When you're negotiating with Iran, Mr. President, to what extent are American financial situations motivating you to make it feel.

[Jimmy Dore]

Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about American financial situation. I don't think about anything. But I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.

[John Mark Burns]

That's all.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's the only thing that

[Kurt]

could you in the ballroom. Two things. I think about two things. The terrific ballroom and Iran could not have a nuke.

[Jimmy Dore]

And if my, if my son Baron can manipulate the markets when I say with the war is on and off again and make $135 million in one day, did he.

[Kurt]

Good for him. Pretty sure that the giant on every level, financially, physically, why Iran have a nuke?

[Jimmy Dore]

So there. Why can't Iran have a nuke? Why can.

[Kurt]

What will happen?

[Jimmy Dore]

Why can Israel have a nuke? Why can Pakistan have a nuke? Why can North Korea have a nuke? Why?

[Kurt]

They couldn't. They said they couldn't have a nuke, but then they got one. Then they got brought it up ever again.

[Jimmy Dore]

Isn't that weird? So north.

[Kurt]

You can't overthrow them now. That's why.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right, because now we can't overthrow them because they have a nuke. So China has a nuke, Russia has a nuke, we have nukes. Israel has 200 nukes, Pakistan has nukes. North Korea, the person is supposed to be a madman, has nukes. Oh, no. I just realized. But for some reason, Iran can't have a nuke. Really?

[Kurt]

Because Iran's really close to Israel, Jimmy. And guess what? So you know Israel has that great Samson option, which is. Which they should have, where they will fire all their nukes into all the surrounding countries if they're ever losing. They're ever losing the land they stole. So if Iran had a nuke, they could nuke Israel before they did the Samson option, couldn't they? It would render a lot of things that we got plans for incomplete, I would say so.

[Jimmy Dore]

Donald Trump. Not even a like. It's like he should be on your podcast. Can you hear yourself?

[Kurt]

Oh, he can.

[Jimmy Dore]

Not even a little bit. I don't care about the financial woes of American citizens. That is

[Kurt]

because of how important this Iran thing is.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, it's so important that nobody in America gives a crap about.

[Kurt]

I actively want Iran to develop nuclear weapons.

[Jimmy Dore]

I do, too.

[Kurt]

They don't need them, by the way,

[Jimmy Dore]

because if Iran had a nuclear weapon, the Strait of Hormuz would have been open. It would have never been closed. They would have never attacked them, and we would never have this war that is on the verge of becoming a world war. It would have never happened.

[Kurt]

A nuke means a country. You can't just take over how you want. You're gonna have to do it subtly now how they did to America.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is the same guy who spent years promising lower prices, protecting working families and America first. Now he's dragging us into another costly war and openly admits he doesn't even care what it's doing to your wallet.

[Kurt]

He tries to fly to buying gas, which is, I think, five a gallon

[Jimmy Dore]

where I live now it's seven a gallon here in California.

[Kurt]

Ooh, you guys are ahead.

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't know how people can Afford anything here when gas is $7 a gallon. I don't understand it.

[Kurt]

Oh, well, when UBI comes in and

[Jimmy Dore]

then they try to say, kurt, oh, no, it's great because the United States is. We're selling more oil than ever, yet that's not great for Americans. That's great for Exxon and Shell. That's not great for American. That money doesn't go in our pockets. In fact, it's going the other way. It goes out of our pockets because the prices are so high.

[Kurt]

Don't you blame Fuentes for this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Don't you, don't you dare. Don't you dare. Dating girls.

[Kurt]

There's no way Charlie Kirk. The Fed story is true about Charlie Kirk. That's what he says.

[Jimmy Dore]

Dating girls is gay.

[Kurt]

Well, that's true.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's true.

[Kurt]

Okay, he's got me there.

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't think I've ever. Sean McHugh says, I don't think I've ever heard an American president say he doesn't care about Americans financial situation. That's a new one.

[Kurt]

That's why you got to vote Democrat. Because they'll say they care and then also do the same shit and then

[Jimmy Dore]

also crush your union strike.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

So the man who ran on America first just admitted he doesn't think about how Americans are doing financially. Oh, Cenk Uygur makes an appearance on the show.

[Gold Belly Advertiser]

Whoa.

[Jimmy Dore]

My old buddy.

[Kurt]

Don't you blame Cenk.

[Jimmy Dore]

My old boss. My old buddy, Cenk Uygur. Don't you blame Cenk.

[Kurt]

Justice is coming for Jake.

[Jimmy Dore]

Justice is coming. Justice is a horse. Anyway. No, I, oh, I, I, I don't have any animosity towards Jake Uygur. It's all gone. He appears in my dreams.

[Kurt]

Really?

[Jimmy Dore]

And whenever my haters appear in my dreams.

[Kurt]

Wake up when you come.

[Jimmy Dore]

It. Wake up when I come. And it reminds me. It reminds me that we're all just playing parts. This is one lifetime and we're all playing parts. And it doesn't matter. We're like actors in a play. And I just have feelings of gratitude when I wake up because he did help me out a lot. He gave me a paycheck and let me learn how to do this on the fly at his job. There's no training to do this job. There's no you, you don't go somewhere to train to do this. You just, you have to. Someone opens a door for you, and then you show up and you do it. And if you don't do it, they close the door.

[Kurt]

Yeah, that's the Worst thing you could

[Jimmy Dore]

do is have someone open the door for you. Anyway, the point is he did that for me. He opened the door and I walked through it and I was able to do it. And I learned watching him do it, I learned being put on panels and just, you know, you learn by the seat of your pants. That's how you learn how to do this. Headlining and just like stand up comedy, there's no. Nobody's going to go learn you how to do it. There's no training. The comedy club is to go, come in for training. That's not the same thing with acting. Nobody. The people who hire you to go act, they don't go, okay, we're gonna have training, a training week of how to act. That's not how it works.

[Kurt]

So show up with it. Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Jake Uygur opened the door for me. He gave me a paycheck and I learned how to do this at a high level.

[Kurt]

And his nephew taught me how to make a dog obey with the power.

[Jimmy Dore]

Now, to my credit, the first time they had me on was already pretty good at it, right? Because I had been hosting, I was, I was a comedian and I was hosting my own video show. And so I was, I kind of had kind of some experience doing it. So when the door open, I was ever the walk. I remember the first time I did it, I was, I was filling in for Jank because he had gotten his big job at MSNBC and they wanted guest host. So they brought me in and they go, hey, don't look at the comments. And I'm like, why? They go, because of every day our crowd hates everybody who fills in. Well, of course I looked at the comments and everybody loved me and they immediately offered me a permanent job.

[Kurt]

Who filled in normally?

[Jimmy Dore]

Ben Shapiro, whoever. And so anyway, so. So I just have gratitude for. So now. Honestly, I don't have any animosity towards him. I've even thought about calling him because now he's come to the right side. You know, he realized he's anti war, which is nice. He's.

[Kurt]

Bombing Syria wasn't a good idea.

[Jimmy Dore]

Bombing Syria wasn't a good idea because just like I said, the chief head chopper from Al Qaeda took over. He sees that was probably another is war for Israel. Also they're. Instead of defending aoc, which they did during Force to Vote, he's now criticizing aoc.

[Kurt]

Hey, welcome to the party.

[Jimmy Dore]

So it's nice. So it's. So we're back on the same page again, right? And you know, so. And like the Frederick Douglass like Frederick Douglass says I'll join with anyone to do good and no one to do wrong.

[Kurt]

Even a Russian asset like Aaron Mate.

[Jimmy Dore]

Even a Russian asset like Aaron Mate who is a Assad toady who was paid by the Russians. We all know that. And anywho. So let's see what Cenk has to say. Totally unacceptable. Cenk says about Trump saying that he doesn't give an S about us. He only cares about Israel because they bribed him and very likely have blackmail on him. We I can't disagree with both those things. We need to have an American president, someone who cares about Americans instead of just super wealthy supporters of Israel. Well the problem with that Jenky, you're correct in theory. The problem with that is if someone was an American president interested in taking care of Americans, he would be killed like Charlie Kirk. They don't get there right and when so there you go. But anyway, good.

[Kurt]

It's a lot of Kabbalah school to get to the White House.

[Jimmy Dore]

A lot of club but Koabla Solid tweet by Cenk Uygur. Yeah, wouldn't it be great to have him back on his I would love to have him back on the show. I don't think he would come but

[Kurt]

I think hey, speaking of Chunk Uygur, whatever happened to the Uyghurs in China? Boy, is it amazing how all the conservatives never bring them up those muzzies up ever again. Remember we were so concerned for them.

[Jimmy Dore]

Vivek Pastrami when he came on our show he, he pretended to care like the that the Uyghurs. There's a million Uyghurs being starved in China. Yeah, well there's 2 million in in Palestine. Anyway, he's going to be phony anyway. He's going to be governor of Ohio now, so we just can't help stop electing criminals here. I like this cheeky. Hello cheeky. Jiki says Trump projection. He must be so relieved people are not talking about the Trump Epstein files so much now he must also be worried about the coming election to have started a necessary unilateral legal war that will end up costing Americans a trillion dollars. Let's remember what he said back in 2012. He said, I always said Barack Obama will attack Iran in some form prior to the election in 2011. He said Barack Obama will attack Iran in the not too distant future because it will help him win the I predict that President Obama will at some point attack Iran in order to save face. That was so three years in a row. He said that.

[Kurt]

Wow. That's what he would do if he were in.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's called projection. Yes. And so how many years away from a bomb is Iran away from a nuclear bomb? In 84, they said they were five to 10 years away. In 87, they said within a decade. In 89, they said 10 years or less. In 91, five to 10 years. 92, three to five. So it just keeps going. That's just. Within a decade. Five years.

[Kurt]

A few years.

[Jimmy Dore]

Months. 10. In 2005, they said months away. And then in 2010, they said a year away. 2011 through 2012, they said weeks away. 2014, near ready almost right now. Oh, and then 2015, back to two to three months.

[Kurt]

It never came out. I had an extra bib on and a fork and knife waiting for my 20.

[Jimmy Dore]

2023, they said days and weeks. And then 2025, they said days. And Trump is saying again. So that. This time it's different though. Right.

[Kurt]

I thought he. First of all, they. The first Top Gun Part two bombing run. We got. We got it.

[Jimmy Dore]

We got it. We've obliterated them. Then we. Unobliterated.

[Kurt]

Yeah. Well, listen, if it's any consolation, it's going to be way more than a trillion dollars. It's going to be the end of the dollar itself, and it's going to be that new. What do you call it? Central digital. Well, the reason Larry Ellison books.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Cbd. Central banking. Digital currency. Hey, they're. The king of England just said that. They're starting to implement that. He just said that while wearing a crown. I'm not kidding.

[Kurt]

While wearing new kings. If you went to the no Kings march, are you. That's. See, that's so absurdly stupid that I don't. I don't know how people don't believe in my control, because that is so. On the face of it, I get blm. Okay. That should have been the last thing you ever fell for. If you were falling for shit, that should have been the last one. After all the money went to some fat bitch in Hamas. You all should have known that that was a fake thing. Nope. I still want to march. I don't want to do real things, and I certainly don't want to talk about Zionism.

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't know if y' all saw this. When I say y', all, I mean people in the South. Now the end begins, says breaking news. Evangelical and Jewish religious leaders gathered today in South Florida to pray over a golden statue of President Donald Trump. It's called Don Colossus.

[Kurt]

Nice.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is idolatry. That needs to be both called out and condemned. Total preparation for the coming Antichrist. Flee this wicked. That's. This is. By the way, I thought this was AI when I saw it. This is not. This is.

[Kurt]

No, this is real.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is 100 real. Look, I'm not one for Bible hysterics, yes, but that looks very much like they are worshiping a golden calf. Yes, I mean, I'm just waiting for Charles. Charles Heston to smash the two tablets in disgust.

[Kurt]

They reenacting the old. The Charlton Heston film.

[Jimmy Dore]

Remember that, by the way? Just relax. It's just gold paint over a 3D printed casting casing anyway.

[Kurt]

No.

[Jimmy Dore]

No way. No way would the real Antichrist settle for something like that. Come on. Yeah, but it does blow the whole Jewish rule of no idols out of the water completely. It does do that. Of course, Trump isn't even there for this. He's playing golf, you pathetic bunch of saps. But even more so, he's playing you. Let's watch this. This is real. That's a real thing. Everyone can hear. Okay, Sir.

[John Mark Burns]

Hello, everybody. I want to thank you so much.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's not even there.

[John Mark Burns]

Being there today, and more importantly, for what you did. The. The statue is beautiful. You know, I saw it during the weekend. We had a big PGA tournament with a great champion and all. Great champions, actually. But it was a great tournament. And I got to look at it very closely, and it's incredible. And I just want to thank you. I know it was done from love. And I want to thank Mark Burns, a pastor. He's a good pastor. He's a good man. I've known him a long time. He's been with me from the beginning. Right from the beginning. Maybe about two days later, right? Two days.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right.

[John Mark Burns]

Mr. President. He was right at the beginning. And I appreciate it. Mark, you're great and just really a good person. And I want to thank everybody there. I don't know. I hear there's a good crowd of people. But I want to thank you all, and I won't forget it. And we love you all, and the country's doing great, and Iran is not doing good because of us. They are naturally low at all, and good things are happening. And I just want to really give you my love. And I wish I could be there where we want to make sure everything's going perfect on the war fronts. I figure you. You can understand that. But we'll. We'll see you all around. I just want to. Again, it's Everybody is taking pictures of it. Everybody is. My people told me that it's unbelievable. All day long they're taking pictures. They stand up next to it and they have their picture taken. It really came out beautiful. I don't know what to expect. I just want to thank you all and we love you all and God bless America.

[Jimmy Dore]

God bless you, sir.

[Kurt]

We love you.

[Jimmy Dore]

We stand for you.

[Kurt]

Jenna just pointed out to me that's much like Nero's Colossus, the same kind of statue. Now, Nero, as you recall, remember what he did with Christians? He made a statue like that just when he got going on Christians in Rome. It's insane that a Christian pastor supposedly would call it a colossus.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Kurt]

And I mean, but it's to signal, you know, sun worship and blah, blah, blah. Seven mountains. Oh, I put it in the thing. He's nar. This guy, this. This Burns guy. So that's that fake Christianity. Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here it is. The pastor defends golden Trump statue from biblical backlash. The pastor behind a newly erected 22 foot golden statue of President Donald Trump at one of his Florida golf courses has defended the project, following criticism that the homage, or homage violates biblical prohibitions against worshiping false gods. John Mark Burns, an American evangelical minister and spiritual advisor to President Trump now,

[Kurt]

and black guy, you should point out, because that does matter.

[Jimmy Dore]

That does matter, that John Mark Burns is a spiritual advisor to the president, which of course means he's some kind of Satanist.

[Kurt]

He's a fucking faith leader.

[Jimmy Dore]

John Mark Burns in a spiritual. He led an unveiling ceremony at Trump National Doral Miami this week, joined by dozens of religious figures. He described. Do you show you. Do you see how most religious leaders are fakes and phonies?

[Kurt]

Most, yeah. Most, yeah. Burns didn't name this. Here's who named it. It's the dollar sign. Patriot Cryptocurrency Investors. A meme coin project. They originated and branded the project as Don Colossus. They paid sculptor Alan Cottrell to create it as a promotional stunt tribute to Trump. To Trump, an outspoken crypto supporter. The name was using their marketing from the beginning to hype the statue and their token. So there was a shitcoin attached to this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, my God.

[Kurt]

So the amounts of conjuration at work here are unbelievable. But the NAR7 mountain dominionism is that General Flynn's in that shit. TPUSA is lousy with them. That's who founds it. They're Satanists. But the whole thing is the seven mountains. We got to dominate the Mountain. So this signifies dominating the mountain of government. And pretty soon we get that central digital currency. It'll be financed, there'll be two mountains conquered. That's what they're signifying.

[Jimmy Dore]

He described the stat, the statue, as a celebration of life and powerful symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, courage, and the will to keep fighting for America. Now watch. Lightning won't hit that statue because it's not really gold, but it will. But it will strike Pastor Burns just because of the irony of his last name.

[Kurt]

Oh, by the way, it's layered with symbolism. His fighting pose from, you know, after the ceremony, from Exodus to signal he's a servant of Israel. So to morons that still think that that was real. The shooting of his ear, which you'd have to be stupid to still believe this is commemorating when that's why the rabbis are there.

[John Mark Burns]

He's.

[Kurt]

It's Roman, Roman emperor stuff. It's the empire's going.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let me be very clear that we worship the Lord Jesus Christ and him alone.

[Kurt]

Who said that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Burns wrote that. The guy, the pastor.

[John Mark Burns]

Oh, great.

[Jimmy Dore]

But I'm doing my Trump. When approached for comment, Pastor Burns told Newsweek that the statue was a public symbol of gratitude from Americans who believe President Trump's leadership has helped strengthen this nation. It's unbelievable. All of the testers are unbelievable. The statue was unveiled amid broader criticism over the opponents, over what opponents describe as increasingly personality driven branding around Trump. Really?

[Kurt]

Oh, no. That was his whole branding, from branded

[Jimmy Dore]

bibles and sneakers to the recent renaming of parts of John F. Kennedy center for the Performing Arts. Oh, yeah, that's right. He did that. Remember that?

[Kurt]

Look, if he wasn't a Shabbos goy, he could rename this the United states of Trumpy McTrump and I'd be fine with that, you know. Yeah, he hasn't done anything good. Well, the tip thing, I'll give him that. And now this great statue.

[Jimmy Dore]

This the story of the glider gilded statue dubbed Don Colossus, which is the best name ever for anybody. Everybody believes it. Nobody can believe what a great name it is. Goes back before Trump's second inauguration in January of last year, according to reporting by the New York Times. Fake news. Fake news. The sculptor Alan Cottrill completed the project ahead of the ceremony, but it was then kept under wraps amid a payment dispute. Among a payment dispute involving the group of cryptocurrency entrepreneurs and Trump supporters who had funded it. Burns said the entire project was funded by 6,000 patriots. They're all wonderful people, great friends, great, great Patriots. Cattrill told AFP that he finally received the full payment in late April, after which the statue was installed at the golf course ahead of this week's unveiling. This was far more than a ribbon cutting. It was a moment of gratitude, honor and remembrance. Burns posted on X. Trump himself celebrated the event. Sharing an image. He celebrated it so much he didn't show up. Yeah. That's how much he celebrated it.

[Kurt]

Him speaking through the statue was somehow even more powerful.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. On Truth Social, he called it the re. It's the real deal, saying it was put there by Great American patriots.

[Kurt]

Come on, 6,000 patriots.

[Jimmy Dore]

There it is, the real deal. Gold at Doral Miami. Put there by Great American. There it is. You can't even see his diaper. That's the beauty of that. Maybe this is why everything about him is orange, because he's trying to dip himself in gold.

[Kurt]

Anyway, the name Donald means world ruler.

[Jimmy Dore]

Burns is a longtime supporter of Trump and sat on the president's Evangelical Executive Advisory Board during his first term in office. Polling shows that white evangelicals remain among Trump's strongest bases be I'm going to guess because of the most easily duped that they certainly are. A survey from Pew Research Center. Why would. Why would you not rename your name? Why would you call it Pew? Why don't you call it Stinky McFarts in late January, I would rather hear a poll from Stinky. If someone texted me and says, this is the stinky McFarts polling people, I would actually answer that poll.

[Kurt]

Do you know who's partially behind this? Dustin Stockton, the guy from We Build the Wall. Remember? Bannon was.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, he got caught. He got in trouble, right?

[Kurt]

Yeah. And that's who's with. It's all the same. So this is actually real dark shit from real creeps, without a doubt. And then this. This idiot pastor who will just do whatever he's told, like the golem he is.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. Survey from the Pew Research center in late January found that Trump's approval with the evangelical group was 69%, which means that 31% of even those people can't stand them. A more recent NPR PBS News Marist poll put this at 64%, down five points. That's so beautiful. That's. Anybody can believe it. It's 64%. It's crazy.

[Kurt]

My buddy who's an AI crypto degenerate in Puerto Rico told me Trump has some of the lowest scumbags of the industry surrounding him. Right. When he got in, he told me

[Jimmy Dore]

that about what Does Grok say Kurt, you have down here? Grok says something.

[Kurt]

Isn't it written on there?

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's what I got from Grok, but I should probably explain how I got Grok. You didn't write it down.

[Kurt]

Oh, okay. It's an occult idol in seven mountains. Nar theology. The government mountain must be conquered. Trump is their Cyrus figure, the pagan king God uses to restore the kingdom, erecting a giant golden image of the political messiah on his own property. It's a ritual declaration. This mountain now belongs to us. The golden calf. Parallels are there, but it's. It's the same pattern as The Alice Bailey 7 Rays, which comes out of theosophy. So basically, they're signaling to all the like. So people in the New York Times who are like, oh, this is bad, but they're not going to bring up the massive Israel problem leading to this. Obviously, Trump's just signaling with that thing that everything's going according to plan and he's going to be the guy doing this stuff because they're all vying to be the guy and they didn't want him to get to be the guy with the golden statue. You know, like, Hillary wanted to be the guy with the golden statue.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, okay. Burns went on to reject comparisons between Don Colossus and the golden calf Kurt, of the book of Exodus, the story in which the Israelites, after being led out of Egypt by Moses, crafted a golden calf to worship as they awaited his return for 40 days and nights. Upon returning from Mount Sinai, Moses destroyed the golden calf. And the episode has since become an enduring piece of biblical imagery associated with spiritual betrayal and the worship of graven images and false gods. I would think it's craven.

[Kurt]

This was graven means you engraved an image.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I got you. So it is graven. This was not idol worship. This was an honor. This was gratitude. This was patriotism at its finest. Come on, everybody.

[Kurt]

Yeah, it's closer to Nero's Colossus in terms of statue size. And Nero, as you know, is the guy that used Christians to light up his parties. He would. He would cruise by and light him on fire, and all the guests would see them burning. No, you know, six, six, six, six was the Nero Gamatri and all that,

[Jimmy Dore]

you know, so 616. This is not idol worship. We have Katy Perry for that. Come on, folks, am I right?

[Kurt]

A bunch of great idols, but this is like the real. That's the solar phallic. There's so many things it symbolizes, and it's a signal to all the Rest of the. The rest of the cult, I guess you could say.

[Jimmy Dore]

So make America godly says praying over versus praying too. Big difference. Oh, really?

[Kurt]

I think you should get into.

[Jimmy Dore]

I think it's about. I think you should look up. Praying on the gullible. I think you should look up.

[Kurt]

You're not supposed to be doing that at all in the Bible. And praying over a golden idol of any kind, I assure you, is not. Now, make America godly again, I'm gonna guess is some fake Zionist shill account. And as you know, they don't really fundamentally understand what Christianity is, and that's why it's this war crap.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. Hey, want to hear my jokes about this? I just think I wrote a new joke about the Pew Research Center. I think I'm gonna put that in my ass.

[Kurt]

You.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so does everybody else outside of the United States or wherever, you know, in Greece and the uk do they see this as a complete blunder by Donald Trump and that he was led by the nose by Benjamin Netanyahu into this?

[British Political Commentator]

That is the overwhelming view in London. Every part of the British political class thinks it. It's all across the media here. It's the thing that people are talking about to each other when they discuss the war, I mean, people who are not members of the political class and elite, that this is a catastrophic mistake, that Trump was talked into this by Netanyahu, that he didn't consult widely, that he didn't discuss it with the Europeans, that the Europeans could have actually warned him in advance. I mean, all the indications that the war was going to happen were out there, but they didn't. But anyway, the point is Trump blundered into this. He made assumptions based on what Netanyahu told him, that this was going to be a walkover, that Iran would collapse like a house of cards. He didn't expect the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't understand the full implications of this, and now he stopped.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so do you think that Trump is actually compromised by Israel in some way? That either they have blackmail on him or his kids or his wife, or somehow they got him? Because it doesn't make any sense what he's doing, especially him attacking Iran when his whole first term was about non interventionism. That's how he got elected and that's how he ran. He put Tulsi Gabbard and J.D. vance in his cabinet, which were anti interventionists. He spoke about it, how the biggest blunders was our Middle east wars. And then he goes and does it and Marco Rubio let the cat out of the bag when he said that, oh, we had to do it because Israel was going to attack them and we were afraid they were going to attack us back. So is the sentiment where you are that, yes, Donald Trump is compromised or what do you think?

[British Political Commentator]

Many people think this, many people talk about this in London. Again, it's a widely discussed topic. There is very little evidence behind it in the sense that, you know, we don't have any concrete information. There's no photos that have appeared or documents that have appeared which directly prove that Trump has been blackmailed or manipulated in that kind of way. What I would say myself is that I think that there was, there may be some element of this. I mean, I think it's quite possible that there is. Trump has had a long, complicated career. It's possible something like that happened. I am guessing that if people have pressure points to put on him, it is more likely to be money than anything else. With Donald Trump, in other words, he's been bankrupt several times, he's had to raise loans in all sorts of ways. It may be that he has borrowed money in the past from various people and that they're sort of calling in, if you like, the moral checks from that, if you want to say it that way. But I think there's something else at play which should never be overlooked, and that is Trump's sheer vanity and grandiosity. Here comes Netanyahu. He tells him, look, let's attack Iran now. It's going to be easy. We've already done all the hard work. We've already knocked them around many, many times. Syria has gone. Lebanon. Hezbollah is a shadow of what it was. So join us, Help us defeat the Iranians now, and then you will be the great president, the famous president, the president who finally defeated the Iranians, who avenged the hostages that were, were taken in the embassy in 1979, who ended the nuclear enrichment and all the nuclear bomb and all that talk. And I think Trump finds that kind of talk irresistible, and I suspect that that played a very, very big role in what happened.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, in a sense, you know, he would get his, you know, he would get his head on Mount Rushmore. In a sense, this would be the thing that all. Yeah, okay. Yeah, go ahead.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

No, I also think there's an element with this Trump White House. I don't know if you guys sense it, but this second term of Trump's is very profit driven. It seems like his first term, you didn't see all of the trading and all These things that were going on during his first term. Of course, you can make the argument that he was completely occupied with the whole Russiagate stuff, but I just get the sense that in this term, the Trump team and those around Trump are focused on just making big bucks. That's just the sense that I get of it. And a lot of the decisions that they make, they treat it like a real estate deal. They treat it like some sort of business deal. Every decision they're making is some sort of business deal, some sort of real estate deal, there's some sort of profit motive behind it. And, and I think this is really, really screwing things up, because you can't engage diplomacy and foreign policy as if it's. As if it's a real estate transaction. But, but there's a lot of trading and profits that is driving this, this second term of, of Trump's, and he seems to like it. I think Trump actually enjoys this aspect of, of his presidency.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's. I'm 100% with you on there. That's exactly. You know, that's what really gets him going, is when he can make money and seem like a business genius. And, you know, I mean, Jared Kushner has no official position in the United States government. And one of the reasons was, was because, you know, everybody was making a stink about how he made billions of dollars setting up deals with the Saudis. And so Trump was like, yeah, okay, we're not going to put. And then there, there he is, him and his real estate partner. And of course, they're acting as, as agents of Israel. They're, they're not acting in the interest of the United States, because if they were, they would have got a peace deal, but they're acting in the interest of Israel. That, that's pretty. Is that clear to you? It's clear to me.

[Kurt]

Yeah.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

I mean, one of the big questions that I have with, with his, his negotiating team, his envoys is who are these guys? I mean, you know, I could understand Witkoff, I guess, during the whole Ukraine thing. Okay, I'm appointing a special envoy. It's going to be Steve Witkoff. I trust him. He's my buddy, my real estate buddy, whatever. Okay, I got past that. Understood. But then Kushner joined the Ukraine negotiating team. Just out of the blue, he just showed up, and now he's the lead. And he was the lead negotiator in Gaza. He's also now the lead negotiator for.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

For.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

For Iran, and he has no position. And where is the Secretary of State in all of this. He's hanging out with Trump at an MMA event and he's watching mixed martial arts, and he's just hanging out. He's.

[Jimmy Dore]

He doesn't deal with.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

With Iran, he doesn't deal with. With Ukraine. What is he doing? No one knows what.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

What.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

What Rubio is. Is there for. He's the Secretary of State and he's also the NSA guy.

[British Political Commentator]

So.

[Unknown Trump Associate]

Rubio holds two big positions. People forget that since Mike Waltz was. Was put as ambassador of. Of the U.S. of the U.S. to the United nations because he was involved with. With the whole spying with Netanyahu and all of that stuff. Rubio took over his position and they haven't found a replacement at all.

[Jimmy Dore]

I actually did forget about that. Thanks for reminding me about that. I thought Rubio was just a payback to Miriam Adelson. That's why he got appointed. That's what. That was, what I always thought. And that, you know, he always wanted Cuba, and now they're getting it. They're doing Cuba. They're blockading it and, you know, doing collective punishment on them for absolutely nothing. And nobody seems to care except Russia. Russia is helping them. They send oil. And. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Hey, Jimmy. This is Vice President J.D. vance.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hello, Mr. Vice President. Good to hear from you.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Well, it's always a pleasure to talk to you too, Jimmy. I thoroughly enjoy the opportunities we have to converse and exchange ideas in a civil manner.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why are you talking like that?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm practicing.

[Jimmy Dore]

For what?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Well, pretty soon, Donald Trump is going on his big visit to China, the first since 2017. It's a whole big profile deal, but that means I'll be the man of the house while he's gone and the house in question is being the white. Therefore, I'm practicing being all stately and

[Jimmy Dore]

presidential like Donald Trump is.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Exactly. So go ahead and ask me anything.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. Tell me more about this China trip.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Jimmy, I'm glad you asked that question. President Trump has ardently asserted that you

[Jimmy Dore]

don't need to talk like that that way with me.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Oh, okay. Jimmy, it's gonna be fucking crazy, dude. Trump is demanding so much shit. The Chinese are gonna be like, you crazy round eye, you go home now.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, is that so?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Well, not that last part. That was just me being racist. But yeah, you see, Trump has decided to blame our shitty ass fucking economy on China, our trade deficit with them. That way he can fix the problem the only way he knows how. Brow beating someone into accepting some sort of a deal like with Iran, perfect example, because it absolutely did not work and now everyone is worse off for it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

But this is going to go even worse because China, more than anyone else, understands and knows how to deal with Donald Trump.

[Jimmy Dore]

How so?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Well, think about it. China had kings and emperors for 3,000 years. There were definitely some unhinged despots mixed in there. So they have a very old handbook on how to deal with individuals like Trump with little dragons drawn in the margin. And they got him figured out. They know that he can be controlled with flattery. Yeah, the last time he went there, they threw a military parade in his honor. And he still talks about that like an autistic 4 year old who saw a train. He saw that and literally said, I want that for my birthday. And I am not kidding. So China knows if they go even bigger this time, throw them like a world's fair or whatever with dragons and fireworks. Shen Yun, Chinese acrobat. A night sky drone, depiction of Trump riding a panda to heaven, then he's gonna cave on every single demand they make.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ah, I see.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

AI. Well, the Chinese are super smart. Maybe they actually are the ones who should be in charge of it. Taiwan. Consider it yours, babe. Purchasing US Agricultural products only if you're hungry. And all because they let them use silverware instead of chopsticks at the state dinner. Didn't even have to do that awkward thing where you ask, I'm sorry, could I have a knife and fork? I'm just old thumbs with these things.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh. Oh, no.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

You know how we wanted to secure $1 trillion of Chinese investment in the U.S. well, I'm going to let you in on a secret. Once you get to a certain level, any amount of money sounds huge. So China will whiff on the trill, but Trump will brag about securing $950 million of foreign investment. Massive win. Huge win.

[Jimmy Dore]

Sneaky.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Oh, tell me about the sneakiest. But whatever. While he's getting snow jobbed in the Orient, I will be extremely statesmanlike here in D.C. i'll be running the show, making sure the trains run on time and making sure those darn aids are doing work and not constantly gambling on their phones. Geez, I swear, a bunch of addicts.

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you looking forward to having this responsibility?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Not really. Not really. I kind of like doing nothing, to be completely honest with you. And no cap. I wish it were me going to China. I would love to go. I think China's super cool.

[Jimmy Dore]

Is that so?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

Oh, yeah, dude. I think dragons are super neat. Did you know that in China, A dragon is a symbol of good luck, not like a scary monster. Like, they are here. And that feels right to me. That seems like what a dragon should be.

[Jimmy Dore]

Uh huh.

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

China is way cooler than India. India sucks. Usha drags me there sometimes to go see her family and I hate it. It's miserable there. You get there and everyone's just dumping trash and rivers and taking shits wherever they like. Like, well, I hope I get out of here without cholera. J.

[Jimmy Dore]

What do. What do. What do dragons represent in India?

[Vice President J.D. Vance]

They don't even have dragons. That's how much India sucks. Dude. They have like, elephants. And I'm like, those already exist. Elephants represent elephants, you morons. Okay, well, I should probably go. We just insulted a billion people. That's a little rich even for my blood. I said good things about China, though, so it should really even itself out. Always a pleasure, Jimmy. And then, until next time, Nihau Ma.
