The Jimmy Dore Show: "ISRAEL Are The Terrorists!" – Theo Von GOES OFF To Joe Rogan

Episode Date: April 6, 2026
Host: Jimmy Dore
Main Theme:
A candid, outraged dismantling of the U.S. political system's alliance with Israel, the bipartisan war machine, and the hypocrisy and corruption within both parties, as well as media and the culture at large. Central to the episode is the viral moment of comedian Theo Von’s critique (as echoed on Joe Rogan), which Jimmy frames as a bellwether for American dissatisfaction—especially regarding foreign wars and the Israel lobby.

---

Episode Overview

In this episode, Jimmy Dore and his co-hosts dive deep into current U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding Israel and ongoing wars in Iran and Lebanon, corruption and complicity among both Democrats and Republicans, and the hypocrisy of establishment media and Hollywood liberals. The conversations touch on viral discussions (including Theo Von's recent comments), the power of the Israel lobby (APAC and others), the Epstein files scandal, and the tanking popularity of President Trump during active military conflict. The tone is irreverent, profane, and aggressively critical of power—living up to Dore’s reputation as “outrageous and outraged.”

Overall Tone & Takeaways

• The episode is a rapid-fire, raw critique of bipartisan U.S. corruption—foreign policy, media manipulation, and political self-dealing—delivered with harsh humor, deep cynicism about electoral politics, and consistent calls for public outrage.
• Jimmy Dore and his crew present current events as symptoms of deep, systemic rot. They highlight that the American people’s real concerns—endless war, censorship, foreign lobbyists’ power—are ignored by both parties.
• Satirical bits and running in-jokes (e.g., “leave it there,” “pedal protector man”) blunt the heavy critique but reinforce how absurd the current political spectacle is.

Listen to This Episode If You...

• Want a breakdown of the intersection between war, politics, and media from a left-anti-establishment perspective
• Are interested in fresh, no-holds-barred criticism of the U.S.-Israel relationship and the bipartisan war consensus
• Appreciate irreverent, profanity-laden humor aimed at the powerful and at the media echo chamber

Summary Author’s Note:
If you’re disillusioned by the mainstream narrative and want unfiltered commentary diving into the intersections of power, propaganda, and popular awakening—Jimmy Dore delivers, with both fury and laughs. This episode’s core is the crumbling illusion of meaningful choice in U.S. politics, as underscored by America’s endless wars and hijacked democracy.

[Kurt]

August lighting.

[Jimmy Dore]

So good luck. Bullshit.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

We can't afford fomenting this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the medium

[Kurt]

and hits them head on.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's the chim. I don't know if you saw this, Kurt. Theo Vaughn was on. He's in Austin. I didn't know he was in Austin. I guess he's doing a gig or something. Anyway, he was on. He was on Joe Rogan's show and he says that this Theo Vaughn is Adam. Media says Theo Vaughn is a sign that Americans are waking up to the actual terrorists. Are. You want to hear it? Let's hear it. Here we go.

[Kurt]

What do you think is going to happen? You think we're going to be Okay.

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

I hope so. Of course. I don't know.

[Kurt]

Do you think about it?

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

I'm confused. I can't believe we went to this war. When we started bombing Iran, I was like, this can't be true.

[Kurt]

And what about Lebanon?

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

Now I know Israel's invaded Lebanon.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, yeah.

[Kurt]

And it's like, just fucking stop it. What do you need?

[Liberty Mutual Insurance Announcer]

Well, they're trying to.

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

Supposedly, they're trying to stop the terrorists.

[Kurt]

That's crazy, though, if you're the terrorist. You know what I'm saying?

[Jimmy Dore]

Like, if you want to stop them,

[Kurt]

stand in front of the mirror and start there. What do you think is,

[Jimmy Dore]

he's right. He's right. And you know, people will say, oh, well, he's an idiot, because him and Joe Rogan, they put, hey, our. Look what our choice was. Our choice was a demented Joe who started the Ukraine war and was funding a genocide right in front of our face.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

What difference would there be other you'd be locked down.

[Jimmy Dore]

And then we had a guy saying he was going to do the opposite, who actually had a track record of doing the opposite. Trump actually didn't start a new war. He did lots of horrible things as his first term, but he didn't start a new war. And he had J.D. vance telling him, said, telling us that this is stupid. Trump was constantly saying, how stupid. That's why he got elected twice. The first time and the second time was because he promised not to do this. And the first time he didn't do it. So there was so. And then it wasn't like, hey, you guys had FDR or John F. Kennedy or Trump, and you picked Trump. That wasn't our choices. Our choices were. Was a moron who was vowing to keep doing a genocide and keep doing a proxy war at the nuclear power called Russia and Ukraine. And we had someone saying they wouldn't. It's like when I was younger and Reagan ran against Mondale, and at the. Very famously, at their debate, Mondale said, we're both going to raise your taxes. I'm the one who's going to tell you he's going to lie. Well, if that's my choices, I'll go with the guy who's saying he's not. And that's why Donald Trump. Reagan wiped out Mondale. He won every state except one. And so the same thing here with, With Donald Trump, except Donald Trump actually had a track record of not of. Of doing what he said he was going to do, which was not start new wars. So this, this thing about, oh, oh, the Stupid idiots. Gullible. You thought the world's biggest liar, Donald Trump, was telling the truth. Well, I also knew that Kamala Harris was telling the truth when she said she was going to keep funding the genocide and keep funding the Ukraine war. So you didn't have. There were no good choices.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Is that even in the ballpark of saying Kamala Harris was the most qualified candidate ever to run and ran the best campaign ever run that cost $1 billion. And the only thing I can compare it to is the Tim and Eric billion dollar movie, which was an absurdist fantasy like, what. What are you assholes talking. Why are you still. How about this? As long as we all understand that there's never going to be more than two bad choices for us ever, except with gender, that the sky's the limit. With your gender, you can make up, but your political. You get one or the other. You get only one or the other. For every other thing in life, nobody thinks that's a problem.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, when. When people say that stuff about people, people who voted Trump or were sympathetic to him and their coverage of Trump, when they say things like, well, you're an idiot for believing Trump. There was no other alternative.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

That's what you're leaving out. The people who don't know if women have dicks, but the people that didn't want war.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. You're leaving out that the other choice was someone who mandated you take an experimental medical treatment, mandate it, or you lose your job or you can't go to school. The people who are censoring you for pointing out that that was crazy, that was authoritarian Nazi stuff, that that's what you. You were left with. That and the people who were giving us open borders or. Or. And doing wars and genocides, that was the. That was some kind of. That was the alternative. And you're an idiot there that you should be upset. Again, you should be upset.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

People with money that t. Like that.

[Jimmy Dore]

You should. You're correct. You're correct, Kurt, about that. But you should. Again, as I said in 2016 and 17 and ever since, that you should be, like me, upset at a system that made it so people were so desperate that they would vote for a guy like Donald Trump, who everybody knew was a con man, but that's how desperate they were because at least the con man was saying what they wanted to hear. And so either you vote for the thing you hate or you vote for the thing that might not turn out that way. So that's the same thing with Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale. You either vote for the thing you hate, a guy who's promising you something you hate, or a guy who's saying he won't do it. That and those are the only two choices you have.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

They're both owned by some kind of Luciferian oligarch at all times. So Reagan was a construct like a Taylor Swift of presidents. He was an actor.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

How preposterous it was that an actor was the president. And now it's standard. No one's not an actor.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's see. Is this the same, Let me see if this is a different video. Let me see. Is this the different video? Let's see.

[Kurt]

It's all just a cat and mouse game. People are like, we'll like the Democrats next time. It's like, but it's all the same shit has been happening forever. They haven't been helping anybody forever. They're letting fucking politicians slurp on kids. All of our fucking money goes to Israel and they're using to get to fucking genocide people. It's like everybody is scared out of their wits right now. It's like our religious leaders are afraid to speak out and it's like the, it's a time where it's like Satan is amongst us and our religious leaders are fucking talking about bullshit at the poll. It's just like what is going. I don't know man.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's all so he's right. People like, well the Democrats next time. Ok, ok. Theo Vaughn just said what most Americans feel but are too scared to say publicly. And the last line hit the hardest. It was never Republicans versus Democrat. It was always the same war machine, the same Israeli funding, same Epstein connected politicians just wearing different colored ties every four years. 3.8 billion to Israel annually under Obama, Bush, Trump, Biden, Trump again. Not once did the party change the check. Americans are finally realizing the ballot box has two options and both of them already work for the same people. When a comedian on a podcast speaks more truth than every senator combined, that tells you everything about the state of American democracy. I, I, that was well said by who said that? That was some somebody with a fake name. Well said fake name person. I like that. Democrat, Republican, not dumb enough to fall for it anymore.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

I mean who could still fall for this? Unless you're there's all your income comes from falling for it.

[Jimmy Dore]

How about everybody I know in Hollywood? Just about.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

That's why I just said all depends on falling for it. And Hollywood's just such a sack of place full of idiots and

[Jimmy Dore]

wrong with horror babies.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Well, what happens is then when a genocide happens, they can't talk anymore. They only raise their voices when it's time to trans a 5 year old. But when a literal Nazi genocide gets perpetrated in front of their dumb fake liberal face, what do they got to say about it?

[Jimmy Dore]

Nothing here. So Trey Grad says 100%. Watch this. If it doesn't piss you off, nothing will. Let's listen.

[Trey Grad]

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee APAC frequently writes legislation for Congress. The American Israel Education foundation spends millions of dollars annually on paid trips to Israel for members of Congress. They're constantly taking members of Congress to Israel for the purpose of influencing them. The Anti Defamation League ADL spends millions of dollars annually spying on Americans who are critical of Israel and uses massive amounts of money in smearing those people not deemed friendly to Israel. Mainstream media also promotes the Zionist agenda by accusing those on ADL lists as being anti Semitic. The International Fellowship of Christian and Jews uses a $100 million annual revenue stream to promote Israel Zionism among evangelical Christians. The Central Fund of Israel uses a $20 million revenue stream promoting Israeli settlements in Palestine for Israel. Founded by John Hagee, run by a Jewish American attorney from Tel Aviv, David Brogue. Its lobbying arm is called CUFI Action Fund, headed by Gary Bauer, uses a $7 million annual budget to lobby members of Congress on behalf of Zionist causes. Hagee himself has given more than $80 million to Zionist causes in Israel. And then if that's not enough in your spare time, you might want to check out the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Simon Weisenthal Center, Israel Project, Friends of Israeli Defense Forces, Women, Zionist Organizations of America, the Jewish Agency for Israel, American Friends of Lakud, American Israel Cooperative Enterprise, the Israel Allies foundation, the Jewish Policy Center, Leon and Harry Helmsley Charitable Trust, Jewish Council for Public Affairs, Zionist Organization of America, World Jewish Congress, Republican Jewish Coalition, National Jewish Democratic Council, center for Security Policy, Israeli American Council, etc. Etc. Etc. Etc. These are all lobbying groups for Zionist Israel in Washington D.C.

[Jimmy Dore]

okay, that should piss you off.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Why? Because people are so anti Semitic that they think it's a problem that a foreign country would control every other aspect of your life. What's the problem with that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, and I know you think it's hard to make jokes about this, but I do it and everybody tells me after the show. Wow, that was way funnier than I thought it was going to be. Yeah, well, I've been doing this for a little while.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

I know how to look at this dipshit. Theo Vaughn is right. Oh, And Joe Rogan. No, fuck you, dude. I know every moron Joe Rogan's compromised. You are so fucking stupid. Joe Rogan, the UFC announcer, that's his compromise. Not all the people you put faith in, you fucking pinhead. There's actually people that have. Have channels where, like, Joe Rogan's bad. Not the government, not your own party you fuck with. That's the problem is one UFC announcer. What a. What a collection of cows this country is. Who deserves every. Let's face it, they deserve it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Thomas Massie drops a bombshell saying, you know, Pam Bondi got fired. So she got fired. And Thomas Massie said that Pam Bondi was absolutely ready to release the Epstein files until an unknown person got to her and told her she better not. Somebody got to Pam Bondi really well.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Was it Brad Bondi?

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's watch.

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

I'm not satisfied until the survivors are satisfied. That's my benchmark. And obviously, you know, in my floor speech here in the House of Representatives, I said, men need to be. Perp walked in handcuffs to the jail. And until we see that here in this country, we've seen some of that in other countries, but until we see that here in this country, we don't have a system of justice that's working.

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you confident you will see that?

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

I don't know if we're Going to see it in this administration.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why do you say that?

[Guest or caller (concerned about war)]

Because Pam Bondi has, you know, she's been so against this, I would say, from the beginning. But in the beginning, I think she earnestly was ready to release files. And then I think she wasn't in on the joke when they gave her those binders that had nothing in it. Then she found out she looked like a joke, and she shot off the angry letter to the FBI. But at some point, somebody got to Pam Bondi and said, it's your job to cover this up.

[Jimmy Dore]

Whoa, whoa.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Who got the donkey bong? Gino.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right. I don't think he. I don't think he needed any getting to do, you know?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Yeah, he seems like he was a fraud the whole time to me.

[Jimmy Dore]

And by the way, here's those. You remember the box? You remember that? There it is.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh. In my wonderful music video Shabbos, like the Goy, directed by me, starring Cash Patel and Dan Bongino. There's a great scene of these binders.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, who. Who got. Who got to Pam Bondi? I'm going to say, based on her eye makeup, I think it's Erica Kirk. Or as I refer to her, Lucille Ball. You know what I'm saying? That's it. There you go. Well, so that's. So. So that. That's his theory. Okay, so my theory. Here's another theory about why she really got fired. Okay, so it's a. This is Candace Owen. She. Owens as she. I was watching her last night. Check this out. I didn't even put this together. I live in California. Eric Swalwell is Democrat leading for the new governor. Let's listen to what she says.

[Candace Owens]

And actually that the reason that Trump fired her is because he's upset with her, because he believes that she is the one that tipped off Eric Swalwell regarding an investigation into his relationship. You know, he was dating the Chinese spy girl. And so apparently FBI was sort of preparing a bunch of documents relating to his relationship with Christine Fang. And she. Trump believes that she intervened and tipped him off, and he was angry with her. So it's like, you're not loyal to me. Even though she's like, hey, you know, I kind of backed you up on Jeffrey Epstein. But you know how Trump is. You're in or you're out. And if you don't worship the ground he walks on and do everything he says, then you got to go. So Trump needs a better dog, essentially. And she is sleazy, obviously. And so I don't know why he shocked. You're all sleazy. The whole everybody is sleazy post Epstein. But don't, don't get excited, guys. It certainly is not related to Trump doing the right thing. Don't be confused and think that he did the right thing and realize that they fumbled the Epstein ball, even though that's how they're going to want to play it to the public. Because the other part sounds much more petty. And that's why it's buried deep in all the articles about what happened with Eric Swalwell. So I want you guys to know that everything is still tremendously fake and gay and we are being ruled by elites, people who deem themselves to be elites, but are actually kind of just deranged and disgusting.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what do you make?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Pronounce the name that way, Jimmy. Eric Swallows.

[Jimmy Dore]

It sounds like she's Eric Swallow. And that's how I say it. Yeah, it's Eric Swalwell swallows.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

I believe, if I'm not mistaken, we

[Jimmy Dore]

get to blow them away. So what do you. What do you make of that, Kurt? That the reason why. So. So Trump. She's saying Trump is as positioning this or presenting this as her fumbling the Epstein files. But the real cause is that he found out she gave a heads up to Eric Swalwell, who's the Democrat running for governor in California, because he was. He was legit dating a Chinese spy. So he had a honey pot and she gave him a heads up on that. They were investigating that. Trump finds out and that's why he got rid of her.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

What do you mean it's believable? I don't know. I know Pam Bondi and her brother Brad. Bondi was dirty from the start. I have no idea why Trump put her in there in the. Well, I do know to cover it up in the first. So she did her job with Epstein. You know, no one can say she didn't do a job of covering that up.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's her statement. She put out a statement. You want to hear her statement? I'll read it to you. Says over the next month, I will be working tirelessly to transition the office of Attorney General to the Amazing Todd Bland. Are this is everybody magician. Does everybody work for TP USA now? Yes.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

The Amazing Todd. That's great.

[Jimmy Dore]

The Amazing Todd Blanche. Yeah. And wow. He's gonna. He's gonna make this Statue of Liberty. He's not gonna make the Statue of Liberty disappear. He's just gonna make the liberties it enshrines disappear.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Make those binders disappear.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's going to be the statue of previously understood liberties. Anyway, the attorney General to the amazing Todd Blombaugh. I just can't even get. I can't.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

It's amazing.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's amazing. I can't get over this. The amazing Todd Blanche, before moving to an important private sector role I am thrilled about is the only fans and where I will continue fighting for President Trump and his and this administration. Leading President Trump's historic and highly successful efforts to make America safer and more secure has been the honor of a lifetime and easily the most consequential first year of the Department of Justice in American history. Since February 2025, we have secured the lowest murder rate in 125 years. Secured first ever terrorism convictions against members of Antifa.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Shut up.

[Jimmy Dore]

She had her domestic and transnational. Antifa is a CIA op or FBI. It's a deep state op. Antifa. If you think that's real, there's real

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

fruit loops in it. But that's what Patriot front. I mean, there's almost no real fruit loop. That's almost all cops. Yeah, they probably have a little more civvies than Patriot Front.

[Jimmy Dore]

Shattered domestic and transnational gangs across the country, taken custody of more than 90 key cartel figures, and won 24 favorable rulings at the Supreme Court. I mean, eternally, I remain eternally grateful for the trust that President Trump placed in me. Whoo.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Is that I will continue fighting for Trump. So right there, you're supposed to fight for us, you dumb dingbat.

[Jimmy Dore]

You know, I heard rumors that Trump referred to his penis as trust, and so maybe that's what she's referring to, that he placed his trust inside her and he places. Trump placed it in me. Make America safe again.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

It's Israel. Place it in all of them. I mean, it's such a joke to blame it on one or the other. We're not. None of them control the country. Nobody runs the country that you vote

[Jimmy Dore]

for, you know, Jimmy.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

But is it me?

[Jimmy Dore]

But is it. Doesn't Pam Bondi actually make Erica Kirk, like, look like a good person? Yes, I would say that. That's the. That's the beauty.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

They're neck and neck, though, I'll tell you that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oi.

[Shopify Announcer]

I don't want any trouble.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Do you see my great idea for Erica Kirk? That she gets Drew Ski's makeup guy and then apologize to herself.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes, she should. Yes, she should do that. Wow.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

People don't hire me like they should, and then they look like fools.

[Jimmy Dore]

Come see me in Salt Lake city. Las Vegas, Nevada, May 7 It's a Thursday special show in Burbank, California. Tickets going fast and then we're going to be in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, Spokane and Tacoma. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. So Massie Thomas Massie destroyed Don Bongino or Dan Mangino. So here's what Dan Bongino he tweets this out I'm frequently disappointed in politicians, but Tom Massie defied the odds in my unfortunate experiences with him as he surpassed my lowest expectations. This Zero pretends to be a principal defender of liberty, but in the real world he supports Third World Tyranny. Here are the receipts from a phone call I had with this Zero offering him a briefing on multiple investigations he was inserting himself into into by publicly commenting on them. Rather than affording the subjects of their cases their constitutional right to due process, Massie chose we wave off the briefings and litigated on Twitter for clicks notice. I tried to call him back, but he wasn't interested in facts. It also of note that I never heard a single word from Massie during the process we engaged in to release the Epstein case docs. This process played out in media everywhere. And yet Massey never reached out. Not once. It's almost as if he wants to be a moron, as if ignorance is bliss for him. I'm horrified. I once believed this guy was authentic. And there's this he shows you these things, but turns out, guess what? By the way, Thomas Massie supports third World Tyranny. I support First World Tyranny. Trump takes away all our rights and charges you more at the gas pump. That's First World Tyranny, huh?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Third World Tyranny was my old punk band he's he's referring to.

[Jimmy Dore]

So we're just going to leave it there? It's going to leave it there, folks, and leave it there. But guess what Dan Bongino got. He got Community noted on it. You want to hear what the Community note? It says the screenshots recycled the same November 2025 phone logs, a 10 minute call plus a missed follow up. They show contact occurred but do not refute the January 6th pipe bomb whistleblower letter on mishandling retaliation of Massey's staff threat claims Bonjourno left the FBI in January 2026. Well, here Thomas Massie replies. He says, dan, in your first call, which I think is the first and last occasion you and I ever spoke, you seemed upset that I had received and had released FBI whistleblower information about the pipe bomb investigation. I informed you that your staff had threatened to criminally investigate my staff as retribution against me for pipe bomb or Epstein activity. 3. You threatened to personally finance a defamation suit against reporters on behalf of a subject. Perhaps it was also a veiled threat to sue me. You said those depositions aren't going to fund. Aren't going to fund for the people involved, I guess aren't going to be fun for the people involved or something like that. In any case, Deputy FBI Director should be financing civil lawsuits against reporters covering cases the FBI is working on. Number four. You said you were going to call every agent in and get to the bottom of the whistleblower issue. 5. You offered me a briefing, but I was going to be tied up until at least 6pm on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. So I asked how late I could get to the briefing and you said you were going to leave the office at 5pm 5. I asked you a few questions on the call and your answers indicated to me that you were perhaps less informed than me on some of the issues or you were going to be less than forthcoming. A few hours after the call, I received and released new FBI whistleblower information regarding the All Hands meeting which matched what you told me in number four above. Related to concerns that the meeting was called to out the whistleblowers. Whoa. Wow. What do you mean that. No, he was. They wanted to. So they wanted to reveal to the public who the whistleblowers were. That's what that means.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Whoa. Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Your second attempted call was the evening I achieved 218 signatures on the Epstein discharge petition. And I had been busy thwarting Mike Johnson's last ditch effort to derail the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Not sure why. Your call logs show 1:36am you called me in the evening, maybe 8ish note. My staff also had the unfortunate pleasure of receiving numerous late night calls on signal from FBI staff telling them there were absolutely nothing in the Epstein case and I should back off. So Bonjourno responds. He says, of course none of what you just vomited out is even remotely close to what happened. But you know that you were offered an update on the case and you waved it off to continue BSing people on X. You were clear about that on the phone. You're a grifter and a fraud. And you know it says dad, do you remember Caster says that the pie

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Doe to the guy who got the Epstein Transparency act passed.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? He's grifting, you know, to get a bigger congressional salary. What are you talking about? He's Grifting. He's that. Do you remember I informed you that your staff had threatened my staff? Careful, there are receipts for this. And then Dan Bongino goes silent.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

So after Leave it there, dad, he

[Jimmy Dore]

leaves it there after he said so Bonjourno's kind of overdoing it with the hyperbole. I think he's really blowing it. And without wearing his leather bear outfit, too. Wow.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Donkey bong.

[Jimmy Dore]

So brave, so bold. So he. He got way ratioed, right?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

I bet.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Bongino got like 9,000 likes when. When? Here's Massey. 18,000. So he doubled it.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Nice.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's a Bon Journo's own thread. I. Bongino is. He looks like the kind of guy who likes a good spanking. So maybe he enjoyed that spanking. I don't know. Dan Bongino promises to take down Thomas Massie by supporting APAC funded candidate El Ed Galren and says Massie is the biggest fraud of his lifetime. He asked, who does he think this works with? Who does? Like, you lost it, Dan. It's over for you. The only people who still want to talk to you are the kind of people you don't want to be around their mental cases. Okay. Or they're being paid to have an opinion. Like cat turd. Okay, let's listen.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

People even hate Kamala as much as Dan now, right?

[Jimmy Dore]

I know after she lost, they didn't

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

hate her the way I. Everyone hates Dan.

[Jimmy Dore]

So now here's a new video. It's called welcome to two minutes of Projection, starring Dan Bongino.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Let's do it.

[Jimmy Dore]

So everything he says here, he's saying about himself.

[Dan Bongino]

I tell you something. I have never been as disappointed in a human being in politics as I am in Tom Massie. I largely stayed out of that race and made too many comments on it. There's a people in Kentucky who choose who they want if they want Tom Massey. I'm not a resident of that district. I live in Florida. You pick who you want. Got his opponent coming on in just a little bit, about an hour last some questions about some issues that matter to you. Constitutional carry, Iran, NATO. However, when I got up there in that position, I could not believe what a fraud this guy was.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ah.

[Dan Bongino]

I mean, like an epic level fraud. Whatever you.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, you know, when I was covering up the Epstein files and lying about Epstein killing himself in prison because I saw the files, even though I wouldn't release the files, that proved to me so, you know, I was just making it up, and I was lying and covering up for the PDF files who run the country. Oh, that's when I found out Thomas Massie was a fraud.

[Dan Bongino]

Okay, think of this guy. I'm telling you, I have no dog in the fight. I supported him. He is an absolute fraud. Fraud.

[Jimmy Dore]

He, he's honest. I've never seen a case where a guy would be talking to a mirror more than this. Ok, here we go.

[Dan Bongino]

Decided to do some money bomb thing and just completely BSing people about my record there. Just lying to your face. I tried multiple times to get this guy to come over to give him a briefing on a case he kept bloviating about on Twitter, causing a serious problem, by the way. And I thought he believed in due process. Supposedly a libertarian wants to try a case on X and he didn't do it. I was there from March until January of this year. You know how many times he came over to visit and asked about these cases? Despite multiple offers cases, he kept bloving about what we could have actually told him. Zero. And there's nothing he's going to tell you. All of his BS responses, his fake community notes, it's all a distraction from the fact that he doesn't want to admit that he was offered a detailed briefing within certain parameters on these matters. He's bloviating about on X in order to attack President Trump and others. And due process could have cleared it up for him right away and he just didn't want to do it because he preferred to be stupid. Nothing will change that. He'll try to distract you with his razzle dazzle, his bot army. Like we haven't been through this before. You think you're the first time we've, that we've, you know, entered into a primary and supported a candidate and had other people come in with the bots and the bullshit? What do you think? Like newbies at this? I promise I'll far outlast you.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, with his current rating numbers, he couldn't outlast a cigarette. How about that?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Outlast him at what? What do you do? Monkey.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? I don't know. What, what do you, what do you outlast? What, you mean you're going to keep doing your podcast?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Leave it there. Leaving it there.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's leave it there. James says, I find it quite, quite interesting that Mangino went silent and stopped replying to this thread as soon as Thomas Massey advised him that there were receipts. And, and why are members of the FBI threatening a member of Congress? I do not like that at all. You need to answer Bongino. Well, he didn't, he didn't answer. Oh, hey, look, pedal. It's pedal protector Dan Mangino.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Nice. Oh, leave it there. Come on, leave it there.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's leave it. Look, Superman was the protector of the common folk, ok? And that's just too many people to deal with. The elites want a superhero that only really looks out for a small handful of well to do people. Like private security, but with a cool outfit. That's what Dan Mangino is. Look down at the ground. It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's pedal protector man. He can't leap a building in a single bound. He's not faster than a speeding bullet and he can give him a half assed kung fu moves in a small area. And that's good enough for us. It's Dan Mangino. Okay. All right, we got to go to our guest, Ben Swan. Yeah, there's, there was a comedian in Chicago when I started, his name was Ken Swan. And so I often slip when I'm talking about Ben Swan and say Ken Swan. Ken Swan, very. By the way, Ken Swan was very funny. He, he goes, you know, I'm originally from Indiana. We have the, we have the lottery there. You only have to name five numbers. He goes, so we had the big rollover last month. That was comedian Ken Swan. Very funny. Remember when we told you that Iran said, hey, guess what? If the United States tech companies are. If the United States is using these tech companies technology to bomb us and terrorize our country, that makes them a legitimate target and we're going to hit him. Well, guess what? They did the jokes for it. Yeah. Iran says it hit Oracle facilities in the uae. Oh no, not Oracle.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh no.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh no. Iran. Stop.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh, I hope Barry Weiss will report on this crime against Larry Ellison's family.

[Jimmy Dore]

Me too. We'll see what Matt Taibbi has to say about this. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claims it has targeted an Oracle data center in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. According to Iranian state media, the alleged strikes comes only two days after Iran threatened to begin striking American tech giants it deemed to be assisting America in Israeli military operations. In a list reported widely by Iranian state media, Oracle was explicitly named. Other companies on the list include Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Tesla, Nvidia, Boeing, IBM and Cisco. Kid was a friend of mine. So, so what Iran is really doing is they're threatening us with a good time. That's what's really happening. Oracle has ongoing cloud and AI partnerships with the Department of Defense. The tech giants. Billionaire founder and chairman Larry Ellison, the guy who just bought CBS and Paramount, and Warner Brothers, also has strong ties to the Israeli government. UAE's Ministry of Interior shared on Twitter that the nation's air Defenses had engaged five ballistic missiles and 35 drones originating from Iran on Wednesday, April 1, and 19 ballistic missiles and 26 drones on Thursday, April 2.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

How to go?

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, it certainly appears like Iran is making every effort to prove that they are actually on our side. And when I say our side, I don't mean the military elites, Kurt, but the ones who pay every single bill of theirs with our hard earned tax dollars, if you know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm talking about.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

I never thought the day would come where I would be like, wow, Iran is making some great points. I never thought that, Joe.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, Iran is already keeping more promises than Trump. The Iranian state media reports do not specify when the alleged attack occurred, and Emirati forces have yet to independently confirm any successful strike on Dubai. That doesn't necessarily mean there have been no strikes. A Belling cat. Oh,

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

we stand with you.

[Jimmy Dore]

We stand. We. We stand with. We stand for you. The Bellingcat. So whenever you see Bellingcat, that's the CIA. Okay, that's something. That's their pretend independent news outlet. It's just the CIA. So, CIA investigation published on Thursday claimed that in the past month, UAE has downplayed damage, mischaracterize interceptions, and in some instances not acknowledge successful Iranian drone strikes on the country. The IRGC also said its forces had targeted an Amazon facility in Bahrain. Oh, no, not Amazon.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh, I've got packages coming.

[Jimmy Dore]

It looks like somebody's not going to be receiving their fleece lined onesies on time.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

How did you know that was my package?

[Jimmy Dore]

Amazon's gonna have to start making a lot of return orders now. That's what I'm saying. Hey, I'm returning this item because it's mostly incinerated, but it's still in its original packaging. So. Though no damage was re reported on Thursday, the Bahrain Ministry of Interior did report dealing with a fire. Oh. In a facility of a company as a result of the Iranian aggression.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Amazon's Cloud Services division, aws. That's. Is that stand for Amazon Web Service? Is that what AWS stands for? Amazon's Cloud Services Division, AWS did not confirm if it was its facilities in the Gulf nation that were hit, but an anonymously sourced Financial Times report from Wednesday identified it as such. Probably just another laundry room fire, am I right? Kurt, is that what you think that is?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Like, the Lincoln?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I think that actually turned out to be the Ford. The Gerald Ford that got. Had that fire. I think I misreported that as the Lincoln, but it was a. Oh, I think so. That. This does remind me of that fire on the USS Ford that didn't cause any damage, but they have to go home right now.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

They just got to go.

[Jimmy Dore]

Did you. Did you just shit your pants? No, I just remembered something, and I have to go home right now. The war. The war has been devastating the broader region for 34 days. Oh, I wonder why they didn't say 33. Like the. Anyway, the Human Rights Activists News Agency estimates 1606 civilian fatalities in Iran alone, including at least 244 children. Along with Iran, Israeli forces have also been striking Lebanon, where local officials report the death toll of 1345 people. Okay. In a televised address to the nation on Wednesday night, Trump threatened to strike Iranian infrastructure. And on Thursday, he celebrated the destruction of a bridge, claiming there would be much more to follow. In his speech on Wednesday night, the President also vowed to take Iran back to the Stone Ages. So I guess it's not about liberating their women, huh?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Yeah, it's not about sending girls to school. The Stone Age.

[CNN Reporter]

We stand for you

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

now. In the Stone Age. Did they eat kids and grape them? Because that's where we live.

[Jimmy Dore]

In his speech on Wednesday night, the President also vowed to take Iran back to the Stone Ages over the next two or three weeks. Trump has recently suggested that American military strikes will cease within the next two or three weeks as negotiations allegedly continue. But Iranian officials have denied most of his claim. They're not negotiating.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

It's up to Lloyd's of London if this is real.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's face it, let's all pray they don't go after ebay because, you know. You know, they're really dodgy about returns. That's all I'm saying.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

As a woman that makes her own jewelry, you know, that affects me the most. As a gal in the city making her own jewelry, you know that I'm worried.

[Jimmy Dore]

So breaking Iran sent a chilling warning to attack massive $30. $30 billion Stargate AI data center in the UAE. Oh, now that. That's some real damage, that. With that, Iran already announced and attacked Amazon and Oracle data centers and Bahrain and Dubai in two days. Life lesson. Never take Iranian threats lightly, never jokes

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

on them, because a lot of those AI data centers are a scam anyway.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. So. So let's listen to the IRGC Spokesperson. Should the USA proceed with its threats that Trump made in his speech concerning Iran's power plant facilities, the following retaliatory measures shall be promptly enacted. All power plants, energy infrastructure, and information and communication technology of the Zionist regime. All similar companies within the region that have American shareholders shall face complete and utter annihilation. Now, they've already annihilated our 13 military bases there. They already sent the, the, the, one of our aircraft carriers home. They already shot, they just shot down one of our jets. So they're not messing around these. They're not messing. And they've closed the Strait of Hormuz. And so now they're gonna. They're not messing. Let's keep going. So there it is. There's the. Dear God. You mean they're going after the water, Stealing energy, draining humanity, corralling data centers.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh, no.

[Jimmy Dore]

So again. Oh, here. There's more to this. Stargate. That's it. That's what they're targeting. A 1 GW AI data center project designed to be the largest AI computing cluster outside the United States with 200 megafaut Faso in part Stargate partnership with top tier American companies. There they are. Oh, there's that guy.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

No, yeah, he's not creepy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, Altman, there's the Microsoft. There's. Which, which one is that? Oh, I missed it.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

David Solomon of something.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Anyway, so Iran's not messing around and I think, yeah, if anything could get Trump to end this war, it's if them pummeling their data centers and screwing up all our tech companies and the

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

insurance thing in Hormuz. And I like this background picture of the stages of growing a beard.

[Jimmy Dore]

Trump's poll numbers are tanking, but you know he's going to put a positive spin on it. I had the absolute, I had the best absolute hundred percent collapse in popularity that any prince. Nobody's ever seen anything like.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

It was a terrific collapse.

[Jimmy Dore]

I even beat Joe Biden's collapse. And he can't even find a zipper because he put his pants on backwards again.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

He wears his underwear on the outside of his pants and he can't.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here it is. This is from Interactive Polls national poll by UMass Amherst. President Trump approval rating 33%.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

But 100% of MAGA likes him. And because Trump is MAGA, that's how he got the 100%.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this is his lowest approval in either term. Did you know that, Kurt? Lowest approval in either term. Trump's net approval on key issues. Ready. Immigration minus 25 jobs minus 31 tariffs minus 36. Inflation minus 47, even though Trump keeps saying there is no inflation. U.S. military against Iran approved, 29% disapproved, 54%. And that's at the start of the war. It only goes down from there. When they started the Iraq war, I think George Bush had somewhere near 80% approval.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Maybe that's right, he did.

[Jimmy Dore]

And Trump only has 29%.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

No one ever thought you could start World War Three this way.

[Jimmy Dore]

What's that?

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

No one thought you could start World War Three this way after promising not to start World War Three. But we did it.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Trump's job approval rating, percent approved. So in March it was 33 approved, 62 disapprove. Oh, that was. No, wait, let's. Let's go this way. So In April of 2020, 25, he had a 44% approval, 51 disapprove. July he had 38 approve and 56 disapprove. And now he's down to 33 approved, 62 disapproved. It's the lowest. And watch this. It could seem.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Are you sure it's not the IQs of the people that approve?

[Jimmy Dore]

So what now you remember CNN did the fake poll where they said he had 100% support from Maga? Well, I guess they had to correct the ship because watch this cost.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

Take a look here. Take a look at Donald Trump's overall net approval rating. This is the lowest of his term, the lowest of his second term. We're talking about minus 17 points, 17 points underwater. And unlike in Donald Trump's first term, in which he was negative basically throughout his entire term, Trump actually started off in positive territory here in his second term, but now he's at the lowest point of his second term. But there's an even bigger comparison to be made. Okay, so obviously Trump was elected once back in 2016, then he took a four year break. And then of course, he's serving his second term and it's his second presidency. So I went back and I looked at all of the presidents at this point in a presidency.

[Jimmy Dore]

All of them.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

All of them at this point in a presidency. And guess what? Donald Trump is the lowest ever. The lowest ever at this point in a presidency. Lower than Joe Biden, lower than Jimmy Carter, lower than Ronald Reagan. He's lower than all of them. All of them at this point in a presidency. You know, you can make any sort of swimming comparison you want. Maybe you want to make a comparison with a diver like Greg Louganis. Maybe you want to make a swimming comparison. Michael Phelps. Maybe if you're me, like an old Jewish soul. You want to make a comparison with Mark Spitz?

[CNN Reporter]

Either way, he is very much.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

He is very much Woodrow Wilson.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Woodrow Wilson's second term. He kept us out of the war. What were you saying about Trump? He didn't start any new wars. He was the perfect vehicle for these assholes to get World War three going. He kept us.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

They have. What? They're not creative. They use the same old plots they've always used. World War I is the same thing. Oh, we got this guy saying we won't go to war, and look at what happened. And now it's time for a repeat.

[Jimmy Dore]

So another huge win. Iran war drops Trump's net approval to -17 points. This renders him the most unpopular US president at this point in his term in modern history. More food for thought from the outlet. Iraq war net approval plus 56. Iran war net approval minus 28.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Boy, that's weird. It's almost like all that money AIPAC spends doesn't really change hearts and minds. Much like our invasions of other countries on behalf of Israel, we can't really change hearts and minds because people could smell bullshit.

[Jimmy Dore]

So it's. He beats Biden's historic low, beats Bush's historic low, beats Carter's historic low, beats Reagan's historic low. Whoa, he's winning.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

It's not incompetence. This is on purpose. If you think this isn't on purpose, I don't know how. Because you heard Trump talk already and you know he already knows exactly what the problem was. That's how he got elected pointing it out.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's watch.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Now. He's the exact opposite.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's watch. Here's a little more from cnn.

[CNN Reporter]

This is no April Fool's joke. This is a disaster. All these numbers are a disaster for President Trump. I mean, let's just talk about inflation, which is the name of the game, okay? Highest disapprovals on this, on inflation. About this time in a presidency, whenever you have Joe Biden and Jimmy Carter on the board and you're matching them or slightly exceeding them when it comes to inflation, you know it's bad. Look at this. 72%. And our latest CNN poll say they disapprove of the president on inflation. Joe Biden, an average of polls at this point, his presidency, 68%. And Jimmy Carter, whose presidency, just like Joe Biden's, was absolutely wrecked by inflation, was at 66% about at this point in his presidency back in 1978, Donald Trump even Worse than they are. So you see it here. And the one word is or phrase I might say is, oh my goodness gracious, what a disaster.

[Harriet (CNN Analyst)]

Just what's so interesting here is inflation

[Jimmy Dore]

was way, way higher.

[CNN Reporter]

Yes.

[Harriet (CNN Analyst)]

So they just right now voters don't like what the President is doing on it, even if it isn't as high as it was at these other times. What about gas prices?

[CNN Reporter]

What about gas prices prices, which of course is part of this inflation picture only, making this number climb ever higher. How about disapprove on gas prices? Okay, disapproveal ratings on gas prices? Biden's worst number, his worst number in any poll I could find was 72% disapprove of Joe Biden on gas prices. Donald Trump right now in Our CNN poll, 76%. 76%. Three in four Americans disapprove of the way that Donald Trump is handling gas prices. And again, the gas prices were higher during Biden. But the increase has been so dramatic under the last month under Donald Trump. We're talking about an increase of about a dollar. It's the highest increase that we've seen since at least 1991 in terms of raw dollars. No wonder this number is so high. He is beating or doing even worse than Joe Biden was on gas prices, which of course was such a major issue.

[Harriet (CNN Analyst)]

So talk about his disapproval on the economy. Put it in historical perspective.

[CNN Reporter]

Okay, so you see the gas prices here, disaster. You see the inflation here, disaster. How about the economy? You know, you mentioned it was the worst in terms of the approval rating for Donald Trump in any poll we've conducted. How about highest disapprovals on the economy about this point in term two, look at this. These are the worst in our poll, 69% disapprove of Donald Trump on the economy. For George W. Bush, it was 57% in terms of the average. Barack Obama, 56%. Donald Trump is crushing him on a metric you don't want to be crushing anybody on, which is disapproval rate against gains on the economy. He's double digit squares. I was looking at some other polling data also above the 57 to 56%. The worst of all time at this point in term Number two, it's the economy dragging Trump down, being of course accelerated by inflation being so bad and of course the gas prices just adding up. It's like a pancake tower and you're just reaching the top. And this is not a tower you want to climb.

[Harriet (CNN Analyst)]

One of the things you deal with when you deal with economic sentiment is how people feel Things are going to be. So what are the prediction markets saying about where they see inflation go?

[CNN Reporter]

Yeah, where do the, where does the cashier prediction market say that we're going on? Inflation chance CPI year over year is above 4% in any month in 2026, 64%. That would be the for the first time since 2023. So the inflation tower that we're going up, it seems like there are more steps on a stairway. Certainly not to heaven. More like hell if you're the president, United States States.

[Liberty Mutual Insurance Announcer]

Yeah.

[Harriet (CNN Analyst)]

I mean the White House certainly doesn't want the predictions to be right about this. That's clear, Harriet. And thank you very much.

[Political Analyst or Commentator]

Thank you, my friend.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

So Larry Ellison, so known cnn. That's where that MAGA poll came from.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, that's exactly right.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

That's why they're not mentioning Israel causing this problem.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so that's right. And so now let's watch CNN's resident masturbator.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Oh, he's back.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. And here's what he has to say.

[CNN Reporter]

But it is a new low.

[Sarah (CNN Analyst)]

Well, as you know, as you noted, if the economy is the top issue for Americans and used to be a strong suit of Donald Trump's and he is at a record low on that, that becomes a problem. You noted his overall approval in our poll, 35%. Just look over time, Sarah, you say the change, there hasn't been much change since last October. He has been consistently at this low point for quite some time now. That's what's giving Republicans on Capitol Hill who are up for reelection this year, a little bit of heart palpitation. If you look at his approval by party, you also see that his biggest drop is among Republicans. So we are seeing some slippage among the president's own partisans. He's now at 80% approval among Republicans. In January, that was 87%. He's down at 26% approval with independents, Sarah.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's three out of four of independents disapprove of him.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Do you think it hard to do with him not doing the things he said and doing the exact opposite around those times?

[Jimmy Dore]

It could have something that also will

[Sarah (CNN Analyst)]

give a lot of worry to Republicans on Capitol Hill.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, so it doesn't look good for the Republicans, which is why they have a record number of Republican senators and congressmen resigning before the midterms. Some people are predicting that Donald Trump will be forced to resign by the party. They'll say, hey, look, they got the votes to impeach you. They got the votes in the Senate. And you Got to resign.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

And then you, J.D. vance, to go. I never like this. And then the new puppet.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's the game, Kurt. Yep. And then. So that'll be J.D. vance. He'll come in and end the war and he'll be the new guy and a technocrat puppet. But he. He is a. I'm gonna guess he is a everything Whitney Webb said he would be. A technocrat puppet and a liar.

[Kurt's Friend (possibly co-host or guest)]

Just like she's been born out correct many times, hasn't she? I didn't want to believe Whitney Webb. She turned out to be correct.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep. Hey, this is jimmy. Who's this?

[Cash Patel]

What's up? Dude, it's cash patel. Oh, shoot. What?

[Jimmy Dore]

FBI Director Cash Patel. So nice to hear from you. What have you been up to?

[Cash Patel]

Ah, you know me, dude. Rounding up the honeys and confiscating illicit money.

[Jimmy Dore]

I see. Well, somebody has to do it.

[Cash Patel]

Absolutely. Dude, are you kidding? Enforcing the law while at the same time absorbing a constant pulse of female desire. I'm uniquely qualified.

[Jimmy Dore]

Brohim, I hear you have had quite a week this week.

[Cash Patel]

Quite the week indeed. Quite the week Indeed.

[Jimmy Dore]

Dude, hold up.

[Cash Patel]

28, 29, 30 seconds. Fuck yeah. Fuckity fuck, fuck. FBI. D's nuts. Blowjob. Oh, shit. What?

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, settle down, please. Tell us. Tell us what? About this week of yours.

[Cash Patel]

So, Jimmy, I was a victim of a document leak.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Cash Patel]

Me, FBI Director Cash Patel. By Iran state actors or proxies using hackers. And said hackers were able to obtain emails and photographs of mine, personal information, so on and so forth. So there it is. All my personal shit. It's just out there, dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

This must feel violating. Is it embarrassing to go through something like this?

[Cash Patel]

Not at all, dude. Not for me.

[Jimmy Dore]

Because you have super thick skin?

[Cash Patel]

No, because people already knew that I was boring as shit in real life. And the leaked information only validated that the pictures were of me sniffing cigars, smoking cigars, as if to say, hey, remember how in the 90s cigars were a supermanly thing? Is that still happening?

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Cash Patel]

Pictures of me sitting in expensive cars that I don't own. Pictures of me with celebrities that I beg them for me next to famous landmarks, just me taking selfies, no one else.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I see.

[Cash Patel]

Once again, showing what everybody already knew. Despite all the shit talking. I'm 5 foot 4 and a half, have no friends and have the voice of a trans man. There was literally nothing embarrassing or incriminating in those leaks at all. Probably only 1% of adult American males could say that if the same shit happened to them. Which in its own way is embarrassing as shit, but just personally, not politically.

[Jimmy Dore]

And then another source pointed to a potential account belonging to you on a porn site.

[Cash Patel]

Yeah, that was my account on X Videos. Shocker, Jimmy. Sometimes I watch porn and masturbate. To set porn. I know that sounds insane, but I've heard maybe there's, like, two or three other guys in the world who do that, too.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, point taken.

[Cash Patel]

But at the end of the day, this was a league, dude. From an enemy combatant. It was a cyber attack on me personally, so in a way, it felt kind of cool. Technically, I am in the war. Part of the war has to do with me, which is pretty sick. I'm a war fighter, dude. Don't even step.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, Well, thank you for your service.

[Cash Patel]

Thank you, dude. That means a lot to me, actually. So, needless to say, we could not let this act of aggression go unanswered. It was imperative that we retaliate and

[Jimmy Dore]

swiftly against Iran Or.

[Candace Owens]

Or.

[Jimmy Dore]

Or its pri. Or its proxies.

[Cash Patel]

Ideally, yes. But in a humiliating turn of events, we proved unable to breach their firewalls. Yet another indicator that this war is going absolutely horribly. Something we need to obscure from the public.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what target did you retaliate against?

[Cash Patel]

Kristi Noem's husband.

[Jimmy Dore]

I know about this. That was you. You hacked into his phone.

[Cash Patel]

We already had it, dude. Of course, it was usually. But we have all that shit on everybody. We just sit on it until we need it. We're the FBI, dude. We are still the House of J. Edgar built.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ah, I see.

[Cash Patel]

Which accomplished several things with one blow showing how awesome I am at this. Namely, one, people forgot all about me with shades on and a convertible. Two, distracted from our ability to hack Iran back. And three, threw a former Trump loyalist and her entire family under the bus. Politics of personal destruction, son.

[Jimmy Dore]

And you did destroy them.

[Cash Patel]

Oh, for sure, dude. There is no coming back from that plastic titty shit. No, ironically, J. Edgar would have been way into this, but, yeah, you are out of the conservative club if you get caught with that perv shit. They're all into it, dude, for sure. But you cannot get caught. You can't happen. And he took pics of himself like that, dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

I know.

[Cash Patel]

And put them in the cloud.

[Jimmy Dore]

I know.

[Cash Patel]

Couldn't enjoy himself in the mirror alone. These freaks can't help themselves, dude. It kills me. Me looking at vanilla ass evil Ovia vids on X videos. Probably doesn't seem so up now, does it?

[Jimmy Dore]

Probably not.

[Cash Patel]

What I want to know is where did he keep those huge plastic titties? Like where? In the house where his wife or his kids couldn't find them. Like, did he have to disguise them? Like, what if a dog got them and thought it was a chew toy? Dude, they'd have to shoot that little too. Oh, my God. I'm gonna investigate. That's my next case. Where do you hide them titties, brah?

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, sounds good.

[Cash Patel]

So basically I took my only my very own non perverted sex scandal document leak and replaced it with the most perverted sex scandal leak in recent memory. Unless they got actual FBI docs alongside that other shit, which I doubt, I'm fucking golden, dude. I'm taking Randy and them to the Arlington Cheesecake Factory and getting that good, good, stupid, fucked up dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right. All right. You sure they didn't get any FBI emails?

[Cash Patel]

I mean, I doubt it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why do you doubt it?

[Cash Patel]

Because that would be so fucking bad that my brain can't even conceive of it. So I have to say that it could not have happened.

[Jimmy Dore]

Huh. Well, I'm sure you're right. Well, we gotta go. Bye, Director Patel.

[Cash Patel]

Wait, wait, hold up, dude. What do you mean? This is not clutch.
