August Light and so good luck. Bullshit. We can't afford why he's fomenting this watch. So let's talk about snap. So that's the big thing. So, spoiler alert. Trump is going to fund snap, but not all the way, apparently. But here's what I think is interesting. This is what interests me about SNAP. SNAP is food stamps. So 29% of Americans are considered low income. And so that comes out to be 98 million people in America, or roughly around 30% of the population. 29, 30, let's round up to 30. So think about that. So in America, 98 million people are low income. In America, the richest country in the world, 100 million people, almost a third of the country is low income. Now, you also know that half the country can afford a $400 emergency. You know that, right? Okay. You also know that 70 to 80% of people in the United States live paycheck to paycheck. Again, this is what do you call the richest country the world has ever known? What do you call a system? It takes the richest country in the world, renders a third of its population low income, half of them unable to afford a $400 emergency, and 70 to 80% of them living paycheck to paycheck. What do you call that system? You call it a failed system. So to me, that's the bigger story here. It's also a big story that Trump was just going to let people not get their food stamps. And so, like when you say people, what you see a lot on social media is people say, oh, these are all immigrants, illegal immigrants, or these are all lazy people, or something like that. Even though we know since 1971, workers have been getting the shaft ever since the Powell memoir. So it used to be the more you produce, the more money you made. Well, workers are now producing this much and their pay had stayed flat. We all know that people can't afford houses, people can't afford their seniors, can't afford their medicine. We know this isn't because there are all of a sudden an explosion of lazy people in the country. After the Powell memo and the Powell memo is that corporations can run the country, which is what's happening. So SNAP serves 42 million people. So out of those 98 million people that are low income, 42 million of them, 42 million people get SNAP, get food stamps, or about 12% of the US population. Roughly 2/3 of those people are children. So two thirds. So two thirds, that's 67%, right? Is that's what two thirds is? 67% of the people getting food stamps, getting SNAP are children. You would think a society would make sure children got food. So what, what about. So roughly 2/3 of the people of those 42 million people, 2/3 of them are either children or adults over 60 or people who are disabled. So children, senior citizens and disabled people. Those that 2/3 of the people. Now, the rest of the people on there, lots of those people actually work. They just don't. In America, in the richest country in the world, they don't actually make enough money. They don't actually make enough money to pay for their food. So one third are working age adults. So 2/3 of the people getting food stamps, SNAP are not work workers. They're not working age people, their kids, their children or their senior citizens or disabled. Which leaves a third of them that get food stamps in America between 18 and 59 years old and employment among them varies, varies. And lots of them work. So, so Trump says he's going to partially fund snap. So they found two judges that said that the President has to fund the food stamps or the administration, the country. And so Trump's going to follow what the judges say. You know why? Because Trump isn't a king, he's not a dictator. He's a regular president like every other regular president who has to follow what the courts say. And guess what he's doing? He's going to follow what the courts say. Two federal judges ruled on Friday that the administration had to fund the 61 year old program and gave Trump until Monday, which was today, to submit a plan for how the US Department of Agriculture planned to distribute funds. So the USDA for some reason are the ones who distribute the money for food stamps that comes from the Department of Agriculture. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said in Monday's filing that the U.S. department of Agriculture and is complying with the court's order and will fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds today. The filing noted that the changes states have to implement to roll out reduced benefits could take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. So there's going to Be a delay in people getting their food stamps. That's what it sounds like to me. The Trump administration announced Monday that it plans to partially fund SNAP benefits. So, like, half for the rest of November. But it's unclear what will happen after that. Food banks have sounded the alarm on increased demand at a time when they're already strapped serving federal workers who haven't received a paycheck because of the government shutdown. Following the court order on Friday, Trump said it would be his honor to fund the food assistance program. In addition to the delay, the Trump administration also said it was $4 billion short of the expected $8 billion cost to fund SNAP for the month of November. Hey, I know you just gave $40 billion to Argentina. Maybe you give Argentina 36 billion, and then you take the other 4 billion from Argentina, you give it to your own people in America who. Who are hungry. Did I ever cross your mind? Isn't it amazing how you come up with $40 billion to send it to Argentina, but you can't come up with $4 billion to send to America? I've been saying this forever, and never was it more apparent than when they gave hundreds of billions of dollars to Ukraine while defunding our own country, which is what this is. So, in part because they are declining to tap, so they're not going to tap into an additional bucket, as ABC News puts it, an additional bucket of emergency funds held by the U.S. department of Agriculture, which runs SNAP. So they have the money there. They just don't want to tap into it. The Trump administration, okay, the legal fight center on the administration's position that it couldn't fund SNAP with contingency money during the government shutdown. So they have contingency money for this. But Trump's administration was saying, no, we can't tap that during a government shutdown. Judges disagreed, even though every previous administration, including Donald Trump in his first term, has used the contingency fund to fund snap. So let me read that to you again. Trump's administration said that it couldn't fund SNAP with contingency money during the government shutdown, even though every previous administration, including Trump in his first term, has done so. Okay. The administration determined that it can't fund SNAP using child nutrition funds, as doing so would wipe out that account. It instead, November SNAP benefits will be funded by the remaining 4.65 billion in contingency funds, which will cover 50% of eligible households. I have instructed our lawyers to ask the court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. Trump Post. So Trump is saying, okay, I've asked my lawyers figure out how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. That's what he's saying publicly. That's what Donald Trump is saying publicly.

Guest Commentator 2
Well, then it's as good as gold, Jimmy.
- [10:04]
Jimmy Dore
If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the court, it will be my honor to provide the funding. This means that no funds will remain for new SNAP applicants certified in November. Disaster assistance or a cushion against the potential catastrophic consequences of shutting down SNAP entirely. While the Trump administration could use additional funds from tariff revenue known as Section 32, Penn said the government declined to do so to save the money for child nutrition programs. So apparently we can't do both things. We can't fully fund child nutrition programs and we can't fully feed the 42 million people who need food assistance in the United States. We can't do that. But we can give a couple of hundred billion dollars to Ukraine. We can give, I don't know, it's over almost $40 billion now for Israel's slaughter of the Gazans. Argentina, we can give $40 billion to Argentina. All of this without debate, by the way. No debate on any of that money. So, by the way, this is how empires end. Just so you know, we're in late stage empire. Our empire is declining. We're continuing to run up debt. Not to help our people, not to actually fund stuff for American citizens. We're not getting high speed rail. We're not getting new schools or extra teachers. We're not getting infrastructure or, or health care. That's a for. We're not getting anything. We're not getting anything for this money. Money's going right into the pockets of weapons manufacturers or billionaires. So apparently we can't do both things in the richest country in the world. We can't fund child nutrition programs and we can't feed our hungry people. Amid this no win quandary. And upon further consideration, following the court's orders, USDA has determined that creating a shortfall in child nutrition program funds to fund one month of SNAP benefits is an unacceptable risk. We can't do both, apparently.
- [12:24]
Guest Commentator 2
Yeah, even consider you also can't risk not killing all the kids in Gaza to make Israel extra safe. But we can also starve. Yeah.
- [12:33]
Jimmy Dore
So even considering the procedural difficulties with delivering a partial November SNAP payment, because shifting $4 billion to America's snap population merely shifts the problem to millions of Americans. Low income children that receive their meals at school. So they're going to take away school lunches to pay for snap. That's what, that's what people are suggesting. They're saying we can't do both.
- [13:03]
Guest Commentator 2
Oh, I hope we don't go communists, Jimmy.
- [13:07]
Jimmy Dore
So we can't give school lunches to poor kids and we also can't give food stamps to poor people. We can't do both. No. But we can give $40 billion at the blink of an eye to Argentina. Why? Because one of Trump's donors has invested a lot of money in Argentina. And if Argentina goes belly up, he's going to lose billions of dollars.
- [13:30]
Guest Commentator 2
We can screw our whole beef industry here. The thing that you would think the Republicans would be real upset about saving.
- [13:38]
Jimmy Dore
So. That's exactly right. And the way we're. And we're also screwing over our cattle farmers and our soybean farmers to help Argentina. And.
- [13:49]
Guest Commentator 2
Remember that chainsaw, basically, he carved shit out of your.
- [13:53]
Jimmy Dore
That's right. So when, when you saw Malay and Elon Musk with this chainsaws on stage, what they were chainsawing was money that you should be getting, but instead they gave it to Argentina. That's what they were chainsawing. All this money that should be going to United States, American citizens, we're going to send it to Argentina. So I just want to let everybody. So I.
- [14:17]
Guest Commentator 2
Things aren't talking about it. It's very upsetting.
- [14:19]
Jimmy Dore
So, so this is, so this is the part that I don't see anybody talking about, that 98 million people are low income. 42 million people in America get food stamps. And two thirds of them, 67% of the people getting food stamps are children or elderly or disabled. And people hate those people. And then the rest of those people, the third of the people who are of working age, lots of those people actually work, but they don't make enough money to pay by food. So this is how empires end. Just so you know, this isn't about lazy people. This is about our country being fleeced by the billionaire class. That's really what this is about. This is. They got a. They got hundreds of billions to send at the drop of a dime to Ukraine because most of that money goes right into the pockets of billionaires and donors. They got over almost $40 billion they could send to Israel since the October 7th. Most of that money goes into the pockets of weapons manufacturers and billionaires. They can send $40 billion to Argentina because that money is going to go into the pockets of billionaire hedge fund people that prop up Donald Trump. Now you know the rest of the story. I hope you understand what this really means. This is, this isn't about Democrats are assholes and want to give money to illegal immig immigrants. This is about the empire ending. This is how empires end. And your money is not worth what it was five minutes ago, let alone what it was worth last year. So when the government keeps printing trillions of dollars and people don't get raises, what that means is the money that they're earning is worth less. So just like we've been telling you since we've been having gold advertisers on our show, the dollar is worth less and less every minute of the day. Why? Because the government keeps printing a trillion dollars every hundred days. And when there's more of something, it's less valuable. And so I've seen headlines that say the dollar is down 5% this year alone, which is like a 5% inflation. When you devalue the dollar, that's now you need more dollars to buy the same thing you did the day before. So this is, and, and, and, but by the way, the 1% getting wealthier and wealthier and wealthier, they're not working harder. The people who are working harder are the people who are on food stamps, the people who have two and three jobs. Those are the people who are working hard. I know lots of people like that. You know, you know you want to terrorize a billionaire, tell them that you're going to force them to work an eight hour shift at McDonald's. Okay, so there's your, there's your, there's what People don't want to tell you about what this SNAP thing means and that it, by the way, Joe Biden also cut 9 billion, I think, was it Obama or Joe Biden cut $9 billion from SNAP? So again, no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain. Barack Obama was not a socialist. Barack Obama was a tool of Wall street, in the military industrial complex and big pharma, which is why he gave us Mitt Romney care, which is why he took us from two wars to seven, which is why he bailed out the banks when he kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes. That's who. So this idea that, that Republicans tried to push that Barack Obama is a socialist, it's because they have to keep this game going that there's a left, right party, that there's left parties and right there isn't. We have two right wing parties, we have two corporate parties. I don't even like to call them right. They're two corporate parties. That's what it is. They all serve the same people. And which is why we end up fighting about bathrooms. And we're not fighting about funding Ukraine or fighting about funding Israel or fighting about funding Argentina are fighting about funding the thousand military bases the United States has around the world. So that's what we're fighting about. We're not fighting about people can't afford their health care insurance premiums, how their health insurance premiums are now bigger than their. Than their mortgages. And most people can't even afford a mortgage. So we're not talking about any of that. We're talking about bathrooms. We're talking about trans issues. What, what, what, what other stupid. We're talking about Now?

Cut the camera. They see us. Only pay for what you need@libertymutual.com Liberty Liberty Liberty, Liberty Savings. Very underwritten by Liberty Mutual Insurance company and affiliates. Excludes Massachusetts. So spoiler alert. The Trump tariff trade war with China ends up exactly the way it started before Liberation Day. Yay. Just so you know, everything is back to where it was before Trump started his tariff wars. Everything is. In fact, it might be even a little less because India got screwed up. So Trump cuts tariffs on China. After a truly great meeting with Xi, President Trump said Thursday that he would cut tariffs on imports from China, signaling that the highly anticipated summit here with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping had lowered the temperature in the trade war between the world's two largest economies. Trump said Chinese imports would now be subject to a 47% tariff, down 10 percentage points from the average rate before the meeting. Keep that in. I'm going to explain to you what this actually means. In exchange, Xi Jinping agreed to resume purchasing soybeans. Did you know they stopped buying soybeans which was screwing over American farmers liberation and to delay restrictions on rare earth minerals for a year. So we need those rare earth minerals that China has for war on China. For war on China. Trump said, granting that the United States a reprieve from controls that could jeopardize supply chains for cell phones, fighter jets and many other products. So China has a spy. So this whole idea that we were ever going to go to war with China is one of the craziest. First of all, they're a nuclear power. Secondly, they make all our stuff.

We couldn't win a war with Nigeria. Everyone, just so you know, just so you know, conclusive at best, right?
- [22:30]
Jimmy Dore
So our friend Arno Arnold, Arno Bertrand, he knows the United States press has not reporting this correctly. So he's got some inside information or some insight and we're going to share it with you. He says, perhaps unsurprisingly, I haven't seen many media outlets report accurately on the deal reached between Trump and Xi today, most forgetting to mention crucial aspects of it and almost all failing to contextualize the 47% tariff figure quoted by Trump. So they're not. So here's. Let's break it down. The United States is going to remove the so called 50% rule that it implemented in September for one year in exchange of which China will suspend its rare earth export controls for one year. Okay, so what does this mean? The removal of the 50% rule is absolutely key. Yet almost no media reported it only mentioning that China had agreed to suspend its rare earths exports controls for one year. So they only reported one part half of the deal, the part that China's doing. China's going to take off their restrictions on exporting rare earth minerals to the United States. That's the only part that got really reported in the United States. They didn't report that. We're also getting rid of the 50% rule. As a reminder, the 50% rule was the main reason why China retaliated with the rare earth export controls. It was a huge escalation by the United States as it effectively increased the number of Chinese companies on the entity list by 14 times from 1,400 companies to 20,000 companies, meaning 14 times more Chinese companies were cut off from the Western financial system, forbidden to use the United States dollar, etc. The US will drop its overall. So they got rid of that and now the US is going to drop its overall tariffs on China to 47%, meaning that China now benefits from 16% tariffs as part of the Liberation Day tariff policy. Me break that down for you. Of course Trump would mention the overall number to make it sound like he didn't cave on his Liberation Day tariffs. But when one looks into the details, China actually negotiated him down to approximately 16% on his liberation Day tariffs. Down from down from the initial 34% and way down from the 125% peak. So it's actually 16%. And they got the so called fentanyl tariff cut in half on top of that. How so? First of all, before Trump 2.0 even got inaugurated, tariffs on Chinese goods were already standing at a weighted average of 20.7% soon after taking office in February and March. So before Liberation day, Trump added 20% on top of that in the form of his so called fentanyl tariff. So before Liberation Day, the overall tariff on China was already 40%. Okay, all right. Then on Liberation Day Trump added a 34% reciprocal tariff on top of that. So it was 74% overall tariffs, which he again escalated to 125% by April 10 after China retaliated. This brought the peak to 145% just from Liberation Day and fentanyl tariffs alone, or 165% including the pre existing tariffs. The fact that the overall rate is now down to 47% Given the fact that the deal includes a 50% reduction on the fentanyl tariff, down from 20% to 10% means that China has now negotiated the Liberation Day tariffs down from 125% to 16%. Since 20% plus 10% fentanyl plus 16% liberation day is approximately equal to 47% overall tariffs. This means that when it comes to Liberation Day tariffs, China will stand roughly on par with the European Union.

Guest Commentator 2
So.
- [27:11]
Jimmy Dore
And South Korea, which are both at 15%. The US will suspend its hostile actions on China's ships and shipbuilding industry, in exchange for which China will also suspend its retaliatory measures. So I don't need to go into that. Here's some other parts of the deal. Soybeans China mentioned that both sides reached consensus on expanding agricultural products trade, while Trump mentioned that China will buy tremendous amounts of soybeans, which will all probably mean that China agreed to resume buying US giant soybeans which they had stopped buying as a retaliatory measure, as leverage in this trade war. Fentanyl. Both sides who agreed on an anti drug cooperation regarding fentanyl, which is language that pretty boilerplate than US China discussion. So nothing new there. Here's the one thing I don't get. It says China mentioned that they agreed to properly resolve the TikTok issue. I thought it was resolved because it got bought by a Zionist Jewish guy.
- [28:15]
Guest Commentator 2
Maybe that's how it was resolved.
- [28:18]
Jimmy Dore
All in all, I would say that the key feature of this deal is the reciprocity and almost religious balance in every aspect. Each concession matched by the other, each suspension mirrored. It shows we're now dealing with peer competitors who can effectively keep each other in check. So what he's saying is that from my way I read it is that this is a mutually beneficial deal with exactly the same stuff happening on each side.
- [28:47]
Guest Commentator 2
So you got us less of a deal than we had before.
- [28:50]
Jimmy Dore
So. So we're not allowed. So we are not able to squeeze China because China can squeeze us right back. So what we ended up with is a fair trade deal to both sides.
- [29:00]
Guest Commentator 2
Ooh, I hope a new cold war is coming. That'd be fine.
- [29:03]
Jimmy Dore
You can see how immensely things have changed if you contrast this deal with Trump's so called phase one agreement from his first term with its unilateral Chinese commitments to buy American products and enact structural reforms to rebalance trade with the United States, warning it would vigilantly monitor Chinese compliance. All from an era when the United States could still essentially dictate terms. None of that unequal framework survived. So we used to have, in Trump's first term, we had an unequal trade framework with China. None of that has survived this new deal because China's more powerful now and we are less powerful. And so none of that. The unequal framework survives here. Instead of Washington trying to reform China based on our interests, all it can now do is learn to coexist with China. So we used to be able to dictate policy to China. That's all over now. They are an equal co, equal partner. And he said, get this. He one more thing. He says I was actually wrong in my post below on the new tariffs on China after the Trump Xi Jinping deal because it looks like Trump lied with his 47% overall tariffs figure. The White House fact check, the White House fact sheet that was just released confirms that the reciprocal tariff, meaning the Liberation Day tariff applied to China is now just 10%, the lowest applicable rate that I think only Singapore and the UK benefited from to date. So they've gotten a sweeter deal. And when you pair this with the reduction of 10% of the so called fentanyl tariff, it effectively means that China's overall tariff rate is back to exactly where things stood before Liberation Day. So. So this was all for effing nothing. So Trump went through all this drama just to end up right where he was in late March.
- [31:21]
Guest Commentator 2
Well, that's where you're wrong, because Israel's almost done killing them kids now.
- [31:25]
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. And just to let you know, this is from the White House. There it is. The current 10% reciprocal tariff will remain in. So there it is. They're admitting it's 10%, not 16. This is an interesting precedent that's been set. Companies that went so companies that went through the effort. So a lot of companies tried to shift their manufacturing from China to, like, India because of Trump's big trade war with China, and now they're regretting it as China ends up with lower tariffs than India. The New York Times has a piece on a guy who did just that, just like thousands of other companies. And he laments that the time he had spent on building up, all the time he spent on building up production in India, at least for the time being. He said, I'm not going to spend any more energy trying to get out of China, meaning I'm going to keep manufacturing in China. I'm going to stop trying to move it to India, because now China has lower tariffs than India. And here it is. Will Trump's tariff deal tilt the playing field back towards China? For Travis McMaster, the general manager of Cocoon USA, an outdoor and travel brand, ordering products from his foreign suppliers, this year has been a lot like gambling. After reading the news of a trade truce between the United States and China last week, McMaster was relieved to have finally gotten a win. He estimated that President Trump's decision to lower tariffs on Chinese products would save him roughly $30,000 in tariff costs on a shipment the company has coming in from China this week, enough to perhaps hire another seasonal employee in the small Washington town where Cocoon is based. But the tariff deal came with a downside. Cocoon had begun shifting some production to India this spring to avoid the high tariffs on China. But in the past few months, Trump has raised tariffs on India by 50% while dropping tariffs on Cocoon's Chinese goods to 30%, scrambling the company's plans. But Mr. McMaster lamented the time he had spent on building up production in India, at least for the time being. I'm not going to spend any more energy trying to get out of China. The piece also quotes Sean Stein, the president of the US China Business Council, who said that that from what he's seeing on the ground, companies don't want to relocate out of China anymore because of the instability and unpredictability of where tariffs might land in other markets and because there is simply no other place in the world with the manufacturing ecosystem and cost efficiencies that you get in China. All in all, Trump is managing the rather ironic feat of convincing companies that China is actually the safe, stable choice. So after all of this, what the effect of what Trump did with these tariffs is actually convince all the companies of the world that China is actually the safest place to do your manufacturing.
- [34:36]
Guest Commentator 2
Yeah, that's that they're not always at.
- [34:37]
Jimmy Dore
War and they're not always. That's right. And here Apple had moved a lot of its manufacturing to India because of this, and now they're finding out they're getting screwed. They're going to have to pay a higher tariff and their taxes are cost. Taxes in India are costing them way more money than it would have cost them in China. So now you know that. So that's the whole story. So everything ended up exactly where it was, except India gets screwed, Apple gets screwed other companies, and now Trump has convinced the world that China is the safest and best place to do your manufacturing. Isn't that ironic? Yes. The answer is yes. So the whole point of all these tariffs was to bring manufacturing back to the United States and reinvigorate our middle class and manufacturing base here in the United States. Well, that's not. That didn't happen. I was, I was willing to see how it played out. I don't know anything about international tariffs and how they work. Nope, nope. Turns out nobody does. And so now it turns out that that's not bringing manufacturing back to the United States. That's what it seems like to me. You have something different, Let me know in the comments. So Cash Patel got caught using the FBI jet to fly and see his girlfriend. I don't know if you know this Kash Patel.

In the aftermath of the wrestling match debacle, the FBI has pulled the jet cash Patel frequently uses from flight tracking databases.
- [37:47]
Guest Commentator 2
Oh, good.
- [37:52]
Jimmy Dore
There you go. Here is. Here's what our friend James Lee has to say about this. Let's watch.

Maybe we got Cash all wrong, right? He's just being a good boyfriend. Okay? These disgusting and baseless attacks against Alexis, a true patriot and a woman I'm proud to call my partner in life, are beyond pathetic. She is a rock solid conservative, a country music sensation who has done more for this nation than Most will in 10 lifetimes. I'm so blessed that she is in my life now. That was in response to Cash being exposed for using a $60 million private jet to go on dates with Alexis, which, of course, he's doing it for love. And yes, once again, he did in fact call his girlfriend a country music sensation. Sensation for all of her smash singles and her massive following.
- [38:44]
Jimmy Dore
Which country? That's my question.
- [38:49]
Guest Commentator 1
Ok. Others, on the other hand, are claiming that she is a you know what? Which has pissed a lot of powerful.
- [38:56]
Jimmy Dore
People off as Israeli honeypot. That's what. That's what other people are alleging.
- [39:02]
Guest Commentator 1
I mean, I don't know where they could have gotten that idea from, other than the fact that she is literally working for an actual foreign spy. It also doesn't help that she's going around saying things like, quote, there are additional sleeper cells that are preparing to launch attacks all across the United States. Like, how would she know this information, you know? Anyway, Cash has now fired the official who supervised the FBI's aviation units for exposing him. You know, of course he has to defend her honor. Quote, A top FBI official with 27 years standing has reportedly been fired by the Bureau after its director, Kash Patel, became enraged by Presto's reported revealing that he used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend sing the national anthem at a wrestling match. Quote Dear FBI employees, I'm sorry the government isn't funded, so you won't be getting a paycheck. Luckily, that doesn't stop real American freestyle wrestling. So I flew the FBI jet to State College, Pennsylvania to hang out with my chick and then flew her home to Nashville where she lives.
- [40:02]
Jimmy Dore
Cat. So remember in 2023, here's what Cash Patel used to say about FBI Chris Wray using had using the planes ready.
- [40:17]
Cash Patel (voice actor impersonation)
And I'm not saying take all their funding. I'm not the defund everything guy. I'm just saying Chris Wray doesn't need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacation. Maybe we ground that plane.
- [40:30]
Guest Commentator 2
Now. I need it because I'm in the Brahmin cast. My mom really has to believe I'm not gay, so I really got to sell this mistress thing.
- [40:39]
Jimmy Dore
This is. Of course there's a video of him saying condemning the thing he's doing right now. Of course there's a video of him condemning the very thing he's got caught doing. Let's listen again.
- [40:54]
Cash Patel (voice actor impersonation)
And I'm not saying take all their funding. I'm not the defund everything guy. I'm just saying Chris Wray doesn't need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacation. Maybe we ground that plane 15,000 every time it takes off.
- [41:06]
Jimmy Dore
Just a thought.
- [41:07]
Guest Commentator 2
Minimum.
- [41:09]
Jimmy Dore
Just a thought. Just a thought. Alexis Wilkins, Kash Patel Update. So Cash Patel's celebutant actress girlfriend has recently claimed on Instagram that quote, I do not work for a spy. I make content for their platform. Get it? She doesn't work for them. She just does work for them. Quality hairsplitting. But let's examine this non spy claim further, shall we? So the spy in question is Marissa Street. So if you don't know, this is Kash Patel, that's his girlfriend and she works for Pragerus. Prageru is run by Israeli spy. The spy in question is Marissa street, the CEO of PragerU. Marissa is absolutely a spy as she moved to Israel, joined the IDF and worked in the Military Intelligence Unit 8200, which is similar to the US's NSA. What Marissa knows and what other Jews know, but perhaps count on you Gentiles not knowing is that Marissa has sworn an oath to give her life in defense of Israel. So that's who she works for.
- [42:29]
Guest Commentator 2
Wow. She'd do every anything for Israel then.
- [42:32]
Jimmy Dore
So here it is, Stan United PragerU Unit 8200. She's the CEO of PragerU. And she moved to Israel, joined the IDF and has pledged to die. Pledged her life in defense of Israel. Israel Defense hears the oath. I hereby swear to devote all my strength and even the sacrifice, my life to defense and war for the sake of my people and my homeland, for the freedom of Israel and the redemption of Zion. I swear and obligate myself on my word of honor to remain loyal to the state of Israel, its laws and its legitimate administration, and to devote all my strength and even to sacrifice my life in the defense of the homeland and the freedom of Israel. So that's.
- [43:25]
Guest Commentator 2
We could trust these people to work in important places and do things right.
- [43:28]
Jimmy Dore
But they're not worried about Prager U. They're worried about TikTok.
- [43:31]
Guest Commentator 2
Yeah.
- [43:33]
Jimmy Dore
So modern Israel soldiers swear Masada shall not fall again. By tradition, some inductees to the Israeli Defense Forces take their oath of loyalty to the Jewish state on top of Masada, and the oath ends with Masada shall not fall again. Okay. All right. And to be clear, we're not talking about the owner of the Laugh Factory, Jamie Masada. It's a different Masada. So Alexis really wants you to know that she doesn't work for. Not works for Prager U. She announced on all her socials. Prageru contributor. Prager, you contributor.
- [44:15]
Guest Commentator 2
Nice.
- [44:17]
Jimmy Dore
She doesn't work for. She works. Does. Works for. Yes. Alexis does not work for an Israeli spy. No. Yes, Alexis does work for an Israeli spy, But that's not the only spy in this story. No? No. Enter Congressman Abe Hamada of Arizona. He's a former captain in the US Military's intelligence corps. Alexis is his press secretary, even though he represents Arizona and she lives in Tennessee. I wonder, does Alexis work for him or does she just do work for him? Isn't that weird? I think that's weird.
- [45:07]
Guest Commentator 2
By the way, I don't understand the distinction at all here. It sounds like bullshit. I'm just going to say for the record, if work does work for works.
- [45:13]
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, well, she's trying. That's her trying to split hairs. That's what we're making fun of, Kurt. The thing, you know, that. That nobody understands. That's what we're making fun of. But Wait, there's more. Why is Alexa Wilkins even on our radar? Well, it's because she dates Cash Patel, the director of the FBI. So that's a third intelligence operative, if you're counting at home. Note how they met at a Reawaken America event.
- [45:39]
Guest Commentator 2
The fuck is that?
- [45:40]
Jimmy Dore
I don't know. Look that up. What is a Reawaken America event? And finally, Alexis insists that we should take a message from what she posts about and what she does not post about. Okay, Ms. Wilkins, let's just take a look at what you're not posting about. So she says here, she says, the things that I post about, I think the things that I post about and don't post about should be telling. Well, guess what she doesn't post about Epstein.
- [46:13]
Guest Commentator 2
Yeah.
- [46:17]
Jimmy Dore
So there you go.
- [46:18]
Narrator/Researcher
The Reawaken American Tour is a series of conservative Christian nationalist events that have been held across the United States since 2021. The tour is organized by former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
- [46:30]
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
- [46:30]
Narrator/Researcher
And an Oklahoma entrepreneur named.
- [46:32]
Guest Commentator 2
That is so sinister.
- [46:34]
Narrator/Researcher
These events.
- [46:34]
Guest Commentator 2
Oh, my God.
- [46:35]
Narrator/Researcher
These events typically feature speakers who promote a mix of conservative Christianity, political messaging, election denial, and conspiracy theories, including those about COVID 19, vaccines and globalists. The tour serves Rally election denial, spiritual steroids for Christianity.
- [46:51]
Jimmy Dore
Where did you read that? Wikipedia.
- [46:53]
Narrator/Researcher
This is AI overview on Google.
- [46:55]
Jimmy Dore
Oh, okay.
- [46:56]
Guest Commentator 2
Election denial. I deny all the elections, by the way. Okay, number two. No, that's not what they do. That's that seven mountains weirdo Christian nationalist dominion. You know, Dominionism, it's called. Yeah, and what these psychopaths in this weird cult think is that they have to install Christ's kingdom on Earth themselves. Well, it's. It's actually very Zionist, actually, what it sounds like.
- [47:21]
Jimmy Dore
So now you know the rest of the Cash Patel story. His girlfriend is an intelligent op and who has pledged her loyalty to Israel. And there you go. Okay? And he takes his pro. He takes the FBI jet to wrestling matches to see his country music star girlfriend. Isn't that amazing? He referred to her as a country music sensation. Which country?
- [47:56]
Guest Commentator 2
Listen, Pete Hegseth. I'm sure Pete Hegseth fucks you. Don't know who he's fucking. Why do we even know about her? Well, because he needed a beard. Cash Patel is why I think. I don't think he does anything with her. He goes to those events to make a show. Like the fact that people are saying he flies out there to see her. This is good cover that he's not gay. And that's probably the service, you know, he gives the information still he just doesn't want to, you know, the honey.
- [48:18]
Jimmy Dore
Now, how. How do. What makes you think he's gay?
- [48:21]
Guest Commentator 2
So way back when, when I did Alex Jones show last time, I forget whose name it is, it was right. They go, yeah, well, from what I. What we get from like guests they say is he's gay. I thought it was ridiculous. Because that's such a lame thing to hide, isn't it?
- [48:35]
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Who hides that they're gay in this day and age? Right?
- [48:38]
Guest Commentator 2
Well, it turns out a lot of people. Turns out quite a lot of people. A shocking amount. Remember the day all of rap was gay this whole time? We just found out from the Diddy trial. We just now found that out. So psychopaths who'd like to maintain control and want to not have that suit. So this whole thing's for show. I. I still believe it as soon as. Oh, and that other FBI agent, what's his name? Try to get that guy I sent you, the thing, he went over that, talking about it. Cash Patel moved in with. Why is he flying out to see her? She's on the East Coast. Shouldn't Catch Patel be on the east coast with his girlfriend? No, he lives with a dude in Vegas named Muldoon, an old rich donor. That's Cash's residence. He lives with a guy, he got the rules changed so he could live with the guy. That's all facts. So you tell me if that sounds like not a gay guy to you. Oh, I kind of guess he. Yeah, he's. Please. You don't live with a man 247 as a straight guy. If you got this superstar, hot girlfriend and live a thousand miles away from her and have to take a private jet so you can make her stupid wrestling event to put on a good show for your dingbat mother, I guess.
- [49:46]
Jimmy Dore
You hear that, Chris? Perfect. Okay. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
- [50:03]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Hey, Jim Jam, this is your non favorite, George Clooney, calling the Clunes friend of the show.
- [50:10]
Jimmy Dore
George Clooney. So, so good to hear from you, George. What's on your mind, buddy?
- [50:15]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Well, Jimmy, I hate to do it, but once more I'm calling into your show to defend myself. Last time it was to defend myself from comments from that crackhead Hunter Biden. And now you may have read in the news that I am hopping mad. Jimmy. Here's the corrected headline. I'm furious.
- [50:34]
Jimmy Dore
About what?
- [50:37]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
As you may be aware, the long awaited posthumous memoir from the late Virginia Giuffre entitled Nobody's Girl has been released. And to my shock, and astonishment. There is a salacious tidbit in that book that involves yours truly.
- [50:52]
Jimmy Dore
Oh, no, George, are you serious?
- [50:55]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Don't worry. It has nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein per se. Thank God. But I still don't like it. According to Ms. Giuffre. Ghislaine. Can't anyone have a normal name in this story? Ghislaine Maxwell bragged that in the past she performed a sex act on me in the bathroom at a party.
- [51:17]
Jimmy Dore
Wow. At least that's not illegal.
- [51:22]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Anything involving that woman should be illegal. But that's not the point. It never happened. Jimmy, I've made it very clear that I've never even met Ms. Maxwell before. I cannot deny this vociferously enough. And I'm ready to sue.
- [51:38]
Jimmy Dore
Since. Since it had nothing to do with Epstein's crime. Is it really a big deal?
- [51:45]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Jimmy, I don't want to be associated with these filthy people in any way. It's gross. They're gross. The claim is gross. And quite frankly, I don't want the world thinking I behave like that.
- [51:57]
Jimmy Dore
Oh, no.
- [52:00]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
No, Jimmy, don't get me wrong. I was a ladies man before I was married. No stranger to the horizontal mambo, but I was a gentleman about it. No bathroom hookups. You flirt over martini. Undo the tuxedo tie. Ask her out on a date. Take her somewhere special. Make sure there's a connection. Arrange for something quirky to happen in our presence. Like a strolling musician. Walk down the sidewalk, arm and arm, looking in store windows, giggling. You know, Hallmark Channel vibes. And if all that goes right, then sure. Blow job time. Knock yourself out. Blow away. But none of this low rent bathroom shit next to a toilet. What are you, a philistine?
- [52:43]
Jimmy Dore
Gotcha.
- [52:46]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
And of course, this is less important, but Ms. Maxwell isn't exactly my type. I need the face card, you know what I mean? And the short hair doesn't work for daddy. I'm going to need some locks. Hair, not salmon, but sure, that too.
- [52:59]
Jimmy Dore
Fair enough.
- [53:01]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
And between you and me, Jimmy, it's just us guys here, right? You know, some men are like, well, who cares what she looks like if she's just going down on you? I don't know, I kind of need her to be hot, you know what I mean? I don't know if it's. If it's the idea of it or what, but if she's an uggo literally doesn't work. You know what I'm saying?
- [53:34]
Jimmy Dore
Loud and clear, George. Hard and clear.
- [53:36]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
You know what I mean? You know what I'M saying. You know what I mean? Anyway, the whole thing. Anyway, the whole thing is a lie. I just want everyone to know that. Flat out lie, which, let's be honest, isn't really surprising.
- [53:54]
Jimmy Dore
Wait, what do you mean? Well, you know, pretend I don't. George.
- [54:01]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
The late Ms. Giuffre wasn't exactly liable.
- [54:06]
Jimmy Dore
What are you saying, George Clooney.
- [54:09]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
This bathroom blowjob tall tale also appeared in her first memoir.
- [54:14]
Jimmy Dore
What first memoir?
- [54:17]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
In 2011, she wrote a memoir entitled the Billionaire Playboys Club about her time in the Epstein syndicate, spilling dirt about dozens of famous and wealthy men. She shopped it around for years, but it was never sold or published. But in 2019, the manuscript was entered into evidence and her lawyers were forced to admit the memoir was, quote, a fictionalized account that she wrote as a, quote, therapeutic exercise to unearth her trauma as an act of empowerment.
- [54:47]
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
- [54:50]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
And even though in a deposition, she had to retract accusations made in that memoir against specific men, much like she later retracted her very detailed accusations against Alan Dershowitz, this newly published memoir contains a lot of material, almost verbatim lifted from this older, fictionalized memoir.
- [55:08]
Jimmy Dore
That doesn't mean these things didn't happen.
- [55:10]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Just Lane Maxwell blowing me. Sure as shit didn't happen, I can tell you that much. Earlier this year, Ms. Giuffre got into a minor fender bender, which didn't even require police response, and she posted a fake bruise photo of herself on Instagram saying that she was in a major car wreck and the doctors gave her a week to live. None of that was true, baby.
- [55:32]
Jimmy Dore
Yes, George, she did suffer from mental illness throughout her life.
- [55:37]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
Yes. In this case, a mental illness that made her claim something terrible happened to her when it didn't. Did she have that mental illness when she wrote a memoir claiming I did something disgusting?
- [55:47]
Jimmy Dore
So what, you're. You're saying the whole Epstein thing is a hoax?
- [55:53]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
No, of course not. Everyone involved in that should be in prison. No doubt Jeffrey Epstein was clearly running a criminal enterprise. But I'm repeating what others have noted, that the late Ms. Giuffre was not a reliable source, but these publishers put out her memoirs anyway using living people's names like mine.
- [56:09]
Jimmy Dore
I see.
- [56:11]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
If someone with such massive credibility problems said that you did something disgusting, wouldn't you point out their credibility problems?
- [56:18]
Jimmy Dore
I suppose I would.
- [56:20]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
That's all that's going on here, baby. And now I have to sue and get a retraction, because until that happens, my gazelle like wife Amal refuses to touch my John Thomas.
- [56:39]
Jimmy Dore
Really?
- [56:41]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
She said, george, if there is even a chance that that thing has been in that lizard woman's mouth, I'm never touching it again. Put it away and keep it away. I'm dying here, Jimmy.
- [56:51]
Jimmy Dore
Oh, no.
- [56:54]
George Clooney (voice actor impersonation)
So me and my blue balls are lawyered up and loaded for bear. The good Lord has never created an entity, living or dead, powerful enough to prevent George Clooney from getting laid. It's going to be the court case of the century. Chemo sabe. I'll give you front row seats, old buddy. We still need to hang out sometime. But not now. I'm not feeling myself. That reminds me, it's time for my afternoon ice bath. Catch you on the flip flop, baby. Don't go changing on me. Clunes out.
