The Trump Department of Justice, headed by Pam Bondi, has announced it will not be releasing Jeffrey Epstein’s client list, in what appears to be a transparent coverup for powerful figures possibly implicated in Epstein’s sex trafficking...

Jimmy Dore
Hey, come see us on tour. Gonna be in Toronto, Red Bank, New Jersey, Northampton, Massachusetts, Concord, New Hampshire, Oxnard, California, Rutherford, New Jersey, New York, New York, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
Liam Neeson
James, this is Liam Neeson calling.
Jimmy Dore
Oh.
Liam Neeson
Or should I say fellow comedian Liam Neeson?
Jimmy Dore
Okay, look, we've been over this. L. Because you're starring in a Naked Gun reboot, it doesn't make you a comedian. You're an actor with comedy chops. Sure, but that's a lot different.
Liam Neeson
I look forward to you and I spending time together at the Friars Club, perhaps having a few Negronis.
Jimmy Dore
That's not really even still a thing anymore.
Liam Neeson
Perhaps we could roast one another. A roast battle?
Jimmy Dore
I don't think that would be a good idea.
Liam Neeson
I already have a few singers written. Here's one.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, thanks, but I'm not interested, Liam.
Liam Neeson
And Jimmy Dore is here tonight, which is strange, because this venue, the legendary Friars Club, is indoors. And as we all know, Jimmy Dore is an avid outdoorsman. A true naturalist. Zing.
Jimmy Dore
What? I don't get that at all, buddy.
Liam Neeson
All right, maybe that's not the one to start with.
Jimmy Dore
No, I mean, first of all, I'm not an avid outdoorsman at all, so the premise isn't even real.
Liam Neeson
Damn it. It's called suspension of disbelief. I shouldn't have to explain our shared comedy business to you.
Jimmy Dore
Liam, tell me why you really called, would you?
Liam Neeson
All right, Jimmy, these are dark times in the United States. Masked ICE agents are jumping out of vans and snatching people in the streets. Peter. Origin? In case you haven't noticed, I am a foreign origin.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, we know. Are you worried about getting iced, Liam Neeson?
Liam Neeson
Well, it bears pointing out that I am a naturalized citizen, but that doesn't seem to matter anymore. President Trump seems to be toying with the idea of somehow deporting even natural born citizens.
Jimmy Dore
Your beloved actor, Liam Neeson. I doubt ICE is going to jump you.
Liam Neeson
But what if I became a strident, outspoken opponent of Trump? A constant critic, speaking truth to power? Trump would have no choice but to deport me. And I suspect he would deal thusly with all his political enemies.
Jimmy Dore
What are you getting at here, Liam?
Liam Neeson
Let's say I was grounded up and thrown into one of these concentration camps, Liam. Let's just say what greater purpose could I serve in that situation? Jimmy, before I became a comedy impresario, I was one of the biggest box office action stars in the world. In movie after movie I faced impossible odds and bested my opponents, mastered my situation, and inspired the audiences.
Jimmy Dore
In movies.
Liam Neeson
That's. That's what I have, Jimmy. The power to inspire.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, in movies. Not in real life.
Liam Neeson
Jimmy, when you watch a movie, you see a series of scenes of me doing things. Well, I did those things in real life. They were simply captured on film.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, what about stunts? Did you have a stuntman?
Liam Neeson
Well, of course. I didn't want to get injured.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, brother.
Liam Neeson
Jimmy, I intend to get myself rounded up by ICE and taken to this new, notorious concentration camp in Florida known as Alligator Alcatraz. And I am going to escape to show my fellow Americans that Trump and his nefarious plans can be resisted.
Jimmy Dore
Liam, this is insane. I'm begging you not to do this. You don't know how to escape from a facility like this, and you'd most likely get shot attempting to do so.
Liam Neeson
Jimmy, don't be such a coward. This is almost identical to the plot of my 2013 thriller, Hunted down, where I lead a jailbreak out of Angola Prison in Louisiana. Or also swampy and rife with alligators.
Jimmy Dore
Yes, alligators that can kill you.
Liam Neeson
Timmy. Didn't you stay Hunted Down? I clearly evaded several of them at once. And in a later scene, I kill one with the Bowie knife after he ate my friend, old Poppy. Jimmy, I know what I'm doing.
Jimmy Dore
No, you don't know what you're doing. That was a movie.
Liam Neeson
Damn it, Jimmy. Of course the plan isn't perfect. No plan is. But I've made enough action films to know how to improvise when the plan goes awry. I've already started to assemble supplies that I will need.
Jimmy Dore
Supplies? Liam, do you think ICE is going to let you keep your supplies in their camp?
Liam Neeson
If they're hidden in my rectum, they will.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, all right. Don't you think they inspect up there?
Liam Neeson
Jimmy, I am a very tall man. I can get things further up than the average person.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, my God.
Liam Neeson
The wrench may pose a problem, though.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Liam, are you gonna die before you're gonna die before you even get arrested by ICE.
Liam Neeson
Well, what kind of a movie would that be? Yeah, I'm paying $10 to see Escape from Alligator, Alcatraz, Venom, Odeon. I expect a hero to make it all the way to act three.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, fine. Do whatever. Don't say I didn't warn you. Though.
Liam Neeson
I'm glad you did. The first act. During the inciting incident, the hero has to be warned of the stakes and the impossible nature of what he's about to undertake so by you warning me just now. You have done a great service to your country. It won't be forgotten. Farewell. Wish me luck. The luck of the Irish, which is the flavor of foreign person that I am. Goodbye, Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
Goodbye, Liam Neeson. Be safe. Establishment media sucks. August lighting so good luck.
Unknown
Bullshit.
Jimmy Dore
We can't afford why he's fomenting this. Watch and see as his jack go comedian speeds and jumps the medium and hit some head on. It's the chimmy door show. So spoiler alert. No Epstein files. But here's what Donald Trump said originally about them. Would you declassify the 911 files? Yeah. Would you declassify JFK files? Yeah, I did. I did a lot of it.
Unknown
Would you declassify the Epstein files?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. Yeah, I would. All right. I guess I would.
Unknown
I think that less so because, you.
Jimmy Dore
Know, you don't know. You don't want to affect people's lives.
Unknown
If it's phony stuff in there because it's a lot of phony stuff with that whole world.
Jimmy Dore
Well, Elon Musk says time to drop the really big bomb. Donald Trump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day. Mark this post for the future. The truth will come out. That's what Elon Musk said. Guess what? Breaking. President Trump's Department of Justice and FBI conclude Epstein had no client list and committed suicide. That's real. Remember when J.D. vance said this? Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring and then that guy died mysteriously in a jail and now we just don't talk about it. He said that in 2020. Well, guess what? Now. Now. Nope. Nothing to see here. Don't talk about it. Nothing to talk about. Nothing to see. Even though they've been talking about it for years and years now when they're in power. Nothing to see here Shows over. Go home, folks. President Trump, they had. They have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures kept a client. There's no evidence that he had a client list or was murdered. No evidence. According to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios, the administration is releasing a video. Get this. In both raw and enhanced versions that it says indicates no one entered the area at the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held that night. He died in 2019. The video supports a medical examiner's findings that Epstein died by suicide. The two he broke his own neck is what they're saying. Here's the video. Guess what? There's a minute missing from the video. Department of justice releases 10 hours of surveillance footage claiming no one entered Epstein's cell before his death. Weren't the cameras supposedly malfunctioning? That was the original story, that the cameras were malfunctioning. Now they're saying, no, we got the video. What, they magically work years later? So. But watch this, watch this. One minute is missing from the Epstein security photo. So watch this. So 11, 58, 57. And then it goes right to 12. It just jumps 11. Boom. The findings represent the first time Trump's administration has officially contradicted conspiracy theories about Epstein's activities and his death. Theories that have been pushed by the FBI's top two officials before Trump appointed them to the bureau. That be Dan Bongino and Cash Patel, social media influencers and activists. Cash Patel and Dan Bongino were among those in MAGA world who questioned the official version of how Epstein died. Patel and Bongino have since said Epstein killed himself. But it has become an article of faith online, especially on the right, that Epstein's crimes also implicated government officials, celebrities, business leaders, and that someone killed him to conceal that. That's not on the right. That's anybody with a thinking brain. What do you think Jeffrey Epstein was doing? He was running a blackmail operation. What do you think he was doing? Sex. Sex trafficking children. What do you think he was doing with the. With Prince Philip? Was that what his name was? Prince Philip? Which Prince was it that got in trouble? Yeah, hold on. The memo says no one else involved in the Epstein case will be charged. Epstein's associate, Maxwell is serving 20. What's that? Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew. Sorry. Prince Andrew for sex trafficking and related, of course. She's in jail for 20 years for sex trafficking people to no one. She's trafficked kids to no one. Who are the people she trafficked them to? That's what people want. According to the memo, investigators closely examined footage of Epstein's Manhattan prison cell between around 10:40pm on 8-9-20, when Epstein was locked in his cell, and around 6:30am the next day when he was found unresponsive or murdered. The footage, which was reviewed by Axios but couldn't be verified independently, showed no one entering the area. The administration said the FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color, and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and variability. Viewability. Investigators found no incriminating client lists, no credible evidence that Epstein's blackmailed prominent individuals and no evidence that could predict an investigation against uncharged third parties. The memo ads. So if you believe that, I've got a vaccine I'd like to sell you that stops transmission and contraction and will end the pandemic. If you believe any of that. They said for years there was no video. Now all of a sudden we got it. And, and I don't. I can't speak for the veracity of that Twitter video. I can't speak for the veracity of that, but that looks exactly like something they would do. Maga's media universe and some of its voices on Capitol Hill have expressed frustration with the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case. Since February, when Department of justice released a tranche of Epstein related files that were already publicly available, conservative figures panned the disclosure, saying it lacked new information. Remember this? Remember that? When they got these conservative media influencers and they gave them this dossier full of nothing, and they all celebrated as if they had gotten something. They didn't get anything. Representative Anna Paulina Luna says I nor the task force were given or reviewed the Epstein documents being released today. A New York Post story just revealed that the documents will simply be Epstein's phone book. This is not what we or the American people asked for. And a complete disappointment. Get us the information we asked for. Questions about whether Trump's name is in the government. Epstein files have persisted because they had been acquaintances who attended the same parties in the 1990s. Can I just show you? I want to get to the video. Bonjourno does a complete U turn on Epstein in 2023. He said this.
Unknown
Listen, that Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal. Please do not let that story go. Keep your eye on this. Katherine Rummler. I want you. We need to keep the heat on this case, folks. There are a lot of people who are knee deep in the Washington swamp who are not telling you the truth about serious allegations out there that Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing things they shouldn't have been doing. And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer Bill Clinton, all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein? Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore and nobody seems to want to talk about it outside of a few entrepreneurial media outlets saying, hey, this is a big deal. He killed himself. Again, you want me to. I've, I've, I've seen the whole file. He killed himself.
Jimmy Dore
Wow. What a switcheroo. Here's Kash Patel in March, Pam Bondi says the FBI has tens of thousands of Epstein videos in April. Patel says that they vanished in July. The Department of Justice says there's no client list, no names. Suicide, case closed. They had the tapes. Now they have amnesia. Let's watch again.
Unknown
Logical play out. If there was a video of some guy or gal committing felonies on an island and I'm in charge, don't you think you'd see it?
Tens of thousands of videos of Epstein with children or child porn, and there are hundreds of victims. And no one victim will ever get released. It's just the volume. And that's what they're going through right now. The FBI is diligently going.
Jimmy Dore
So Jeffrey Epstein was running a sex trafficking ring to get blackmail. Apparently on nobody. Apparently on nobody. That's what they're trying to tell us now. And then he killed himself. He was already convicted of sexual sex crimes already once. And he got a. And he got a sweetheart deal where he spent a couple of weekends in prison and spent. And why did he get that sweetheart deal with the guy who prosecuted him said, I was told to give him this deal because Jeffrey Epstein was intelligence. And now the guys who are in charge of the FBI say, nope, nothing to see here. There's nothing to see. He didn't do anything. Jeffrey Epstein was just a dude. He didn't do anything. I like this. Elon Musk tweeted this out. Will we release the Epstein list? We just need more time. The Epstein list is on my desk. There is no Epstein list. That's what Elon Musk tweeted out. Here is Benny Johnson in February 2025. You say that the FBI. Well, let's. Let's watch it.
Unknown
You know, it's the same thing with Epstein's list. It's like, what the hell are these Republicans doing?
Jimmy Dore
Oh, I saw you give out.
Sam Tripoli
I saw you make news this morning about that. I got to get to that. You say that the FBI has Epstein's list. They're sitting on it. That doesn't seem like something you should do. You're protecting the world's foremost predator. That seems like an evil do, regardless of who may be embarrassed in the release of that list. Why is the FBI protecting the greatest pederast, the largest scale pederist in human history?
Unknown
Simple because of who's on that list. You don't think that Bill Gates is lobbying Congress night and day to prevent the disclosure of that list? And why is it that the Senate. You know, and good for Senator Blackburn to try to get it out but then Dick Turbin comes over the top and says, no, we're not going to release the names. I don't care about the list itself. But if released the names, right, what the hell are the House Republicans doing? They have the majority. You can't get the list. You're going to accept Dick Durbin's word or whoever that guy is as to who is on that list and who isn't and that it can and can't be released. Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are. We have an election coming up and we need to adjudicate this matter at the polls. God knows the FBI and DOJ aren't going to do anything. But how are you going to reward the FBI with a new headquarters building after their illegal surveillance on Donald Trump continues with a reauthorization of fisa and we can't even get basic documents out. This is why America hates Congress. And this is why I'm tired of the Republican majority saying they're going to get the job done and failing.
Jimmy Dore
I wish I would have led the. I should have led the story off with that video. That's them. That's them themselves saying these things. That's Pam Bondi, that's Cash Patel, that's Dan Bongino themselves saying those things. And now they're gonna, they're gonna pee on your leg and tell you it's raining. The Epstein client list went from sitting on Pam Bondi's desk to never existing. This is the most blatant cover up in history. The FBI is lying to protect the child rapist it should be going after. The government is so corrupt it can't even be trusted to hold pedophiles accountable. There it is. Pam Bondi, Jeffrey Epstein's client list sitting on my desk. FBI finds no Jeffrey Epstein client list. He did. It was a suicide. Nothing to see here. Donald Trump's assassination in Butler, Pennsylvania. Case closed. Was just one guy. Which one is lying? Why is Kash Patel denying the existence of Epstein island videos showing child sexual assault just days after Pam Bondi revealed? The FBI has thousands of hours of such footage involving Epstein and his clients to comb through before releasing again.

Jimmy Dore
I have been saying for years that it was suspicious that Epstein died the very night that the news report came out, initially naming Trump on the flight log. Now when Trump gets back in office, they close the case and say there is no client list. Here's Elon Musk. What's the time? Oh, look, it's. No one has been arrested o'. Clock again, the official Jeffrey Epstein pedophile arrest. Counter zero. Some people still standing by it. They don't care. This isn't insurrection. Barbie says. I'm not saying we need to move on from Epstein. I want to see accountability for everything. What I'm saying is that Epstein is not the end all, be all defining moment of the Trump presidency. Like people on air making it out to be so you can sell some more rage and make money. It's not the. That's. You could say that about anything. Things that you should be outraged about. People should be outraged about it. It's not the reason why I would support President Trump or not support President Trump. It's. It's important, but it's not. It's. It's. So is 100,000 other things. What I'm saying is that the perspective, nuance, patience and common sense need to make a comeback, and fast. Oh, okay, then let's talk about Israel. How's that? But we did get Pago. I know. It's not. Wait, sorry, that was someone else. And here it is. Paid influencers starting to push the just move on narrative over an issue they've been obsessing over. Now that the money is cleared, how much did the GOP pay for this post? So that's what Steve, Steve Bean says about that post. Alex Jones, Epstein files. This is from February 2025. Epstein files. Incoming. As Trump's massive moves against the deep state shatter the globalist infrastructure to make way for America first. Here it is. Buckle up. He tweeted this out. Buckle up, Hollywood.
Unknown
As most of you know, President Trump last night in a national television interview, said that the release of the Epstein files, JFK files, and others, is coming along well and will be out soon. They're obviously just redacting the names of any innocent people or informants or victims. But he said, look for the JFK thing, you know, to be even bigger. And I think it's clear, you know, the bad guys have hidden or destroyed. They've had all these years to do it. Comey and his daughter and the rest of them So I don't know how much we're gonna get there. But regardless, we have the UN running child human trafficking, we have DHS under Mayorkas and all of them and just all these giant cases, the CIA finders cases and all of it. And I'm saying focus on Epstein.
Jimmy Dore
That's important.
Unknown
It's catch people's imaginations. It's key. But everything else is important as well. That's why I did that hour and a half deep dive a few weeks ago with Ian Carroll that's right here on X and also at Man Video, where for an hour and a half we cover a wide spectrum of it and some of the huge documented cases, I mean of CIA giant child trafficking, sex rings, I mean, just massive MI6, the British royal family. But it is a big deal that this is coming out. We're 56 days. The Trump administration, they are moving very, very quickly. Or Trump's come out and said basically everything Biden did, it's not just the part is invalid. With the auto pin, he didn't know what he was signing. Most time he didn't sign it. Like a liquid natural gas deal. They've got a criminal investigation going of that. So they're moving very, very quickly on every front. They're dismantling the whole globalist system.
Jimmy Dore
So he, he said that on March 17, 2025, he tweeted that out. And here he is July 7, breaking exclusive. TRUMP must demand that Pam Bondi clarify her reports of 14 terabytes of children being raped after the Department of Justice issued letters contradicting her claims. To clear the air of the Epstein firestorm. Roger Stone also calls on AG Pambandi to answer.
Unknown
Why would Pam Bondi say we got 14 terabytes and hundreds of new victims and put all that out? And you've also got the U.S. attorney and a bunch of others coming out and saying they've seen it, it's coming out. Why would they do all that and then now say, oh, actually there's nothing. And I get it, there's not an official. Here's my client list. He was talking to restaurants and lawnmowers and pool people and politicians and business. Obviously, most people that he's got numbers of aren't that. That's clear. The point is, is that why would they come out and say, we've got all this, we're going after them, they're going to be prosecuted. And then now 180 so fast.
That is a question that I think Pam Bondi has to answer. In other words, we have a discrepancy. I believe Cash Patel when he says we don't have anything, that's because it was destroyed. And as far as Epstein killing himself, Michael Baden, the New York City medical examiner, probably the single most respected pathologist in the country, inspected Epstein's body and said that the wounds, that the broken bones in his neck were completely inconsistent with him hanging himself. He also pointed out that he has conducted autopsies in a thousand hanging cases. We also know that David Shone, the criminal defense lawyer, was retained by Epstein and they agreed to a very sizable retainer on the Thursday before the Saturday that he allegedly killed himself. So who hires a new lawyer to head his criminal defense and then kills himself two days later?
Jimmy Dore
Great points by Roger Stone. So it's another sad day. No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain. And now that there, who knows is this. Was Elon Trump telling the truth about Was Elon Musk telling the truth about Trump being in the Epstein files? And that's why we're not finding it out. It's obvious to me that there's a cover up happening and it's coming from Cash Patel, Pam Bondi and Dan Bongino. And you know what? They that it be one thing if they didn't have a track record of screaming about this, but they have a track record of themselves, themselves screaming at the top of their lungs about this and imploring people to focus on this and not let it go. And then as soon as they get in a position to do something, they say, don't focus on it, let it go. So meet the new boss, same as the old boss. And there is a deep state. And Jeffrey Epstein was running a criminal sex trafficking organization and he has compromised a lot of powerful people and they're not allowed to go after them. And who has that evidence? And they're not just like, just like the Diddy case Scott came in and got fixed by the deep state, you know, James Comey's daughter. The same things happen. It's the same thing. This is the, this is above their pay grade. They can't, they can't do anything about this. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

Thanks for joining us. Good to see you.
Sam Tripoli
Love you guys. Thanks for having me, man.
Jimmy Dore
The reason why I wanted to have you on today was because Elon Musk is starting a new party, and he did it on this very unscientific poll. He said, Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two party, some would say uniparty system. Should we create the American party? And 65% of the people said yes. So. And I'm sure there are absolutely no bots created that voted on that. I'm sure that.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, the guy who owns the platform is putting out the tweet that says, everyone likes what you say.
Jimmy Dore
That confirms the thing he wants. Isn't that weird? Nothing wrong with that. There's nothing. It certainly passes the smell test, if you like the smell of.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, it's just like. Like, I don't know, man. We try this all the time, and then the other side gets elected. And I'm not saying that we don't need a third party, but voting seems to not get us anywhere.
Jimmy Dore
No, we can't.
Sam Tripoli
Biggest thing.
Jimmy Dore
No, we. Well, people who voted for Donald Trump that thought they were voting for the end of wars, and he is giving us a little bit less. Although he's still sending stuff to Ukraine. Munitions and money. And of course, what he's doing with Israel, Palestine is a legit genocide. He bombed Iran and he bombed the hell out of the Houthis again, even though as recent as 2024, he said, you don't have to do that.
Sam Tripoli
And he's made nice with the ISIS leader of Syria.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, that's right.
Sam Tripoli
Perfect Hebrew, by the way. How to.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, how.
Sam Tripoli
How awesome is that for Netanyahu?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, it's awesome.
Sam Tripoli
It works out perfect.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. So. So, yeah, the guy who they used to have a. A $10 million reward for because he was a terrorist, Trump is now calling a fine young man who's running Syria and he wants to be working with Israel. Isn't that interesting?
Sam Tripoli
Oh, yeah, Perfect. And just somehow this guy just wants to give up the land that works lines perfectly up with the Greater Israel Project. It's like, dude, how lucky are you? Yeah, so bad year now. It worked out.
Jimmy Dore
So Syria was another war for Israel, and that's Another thing people don't realize. So, Elon Musk, all I can say is finally America is going to have a party that isn't being controlled by the wealthy elite. A party for the people.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah. Come on.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. So he says he's going to. One way to execute on this would be a laser focus on just two or three Senate seats and eight to 10 House districts. Given the razor, the legislative margin, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people. Now, this is some. First of all, one small difference being that when he says he's going to laser focus on Senate seats, he will be using an actual laser.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, 100% from Starling. Yeah, 100%.
Jimmy Dore
No, I thought, just real quick, I thought this is what Bernie Sanders was going to do in 2016 because he had half the Democratic Party behind him, and I thought he was going to mobilize those people and. And we could have had some real power, but of course he didn't. Bernie is a fake and a phony and a cuck to power. And he only cares about fighting oligarchy when the Democrats aren't the ones in bed with the oligarchy, only Republicans. So, yeah, flying.
Sam Tripoli
Fighting the oligarchy, flying private planes everywhere you go.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Sam Tripoli
That works out. The close thing we had to this was the Tea Party there for a short time. And it did. It did for a very short time. Pull the Republican Party kind of a little bit more to the right. That's about it. But if you're going to have lobbying, you're going to. If you're going to have lobbying and not have any term limits, you're never going to fix anything.
Jimmy Dore
So when, when the Tea Party came along was at the same time of Occupy Wall street came along. So the response to the government bailing out the banks that had just crashed our economy while pocketing all the money and never having to pay it back and wrecking people's 401ks that they worked for their whole life. The response to that was on the right, there was the Tea Party, and on the left, there was Occupy Wall Street. Well, so both of those got completely infiltrated. And what happened was that. But also they then started to emphasize racism, sexism, white national phobia, homophobia, all that stuff exploded in the national press. That's all they talked about all day long. And so that was a way to divide America. So America was coming together. The Tea Party and the Occupy were both against what we did. When the bailout of Wall street when they crashed our economy after they repealed Glass Steagall under Bill Clinton. So, so we were coming together and they found a way to split us apart again. And that's exactly what they did. And so Elon Musk is trying to do this, which I'm all for it actually. I don't think it will do what he want, what people want it to do. But. Well, let's, let's, let's see what people hear some people's reactions. How many foreigners and bots participate in this poll as way to go clandestine says we already did that. It's called maga. So the people who are part of the MAGA movement.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Thought they were part of a third party movement inside the Republican Party because the most of the Republican. But there was a never Trumpers, right. That was the, the Lincoln project. And all those people who were, were big in the Republican Party like who said they would never vote for Donald Trump, you know those people. So they thought that that was like their own rebellion, their own third party inside of it. But it turns out, especially with this last bill that it's the exact. So what, what I was saying before was people thought that they voted for free speech. They didn't get free speech 100%. They got another protected class of people and it's called people who support Israel. So you can't. And he started to kick people out of the country who were here legally following all the rules and for their speech, which is the exact opposite of what free speech.
Sam Tripoli
And what they really do is get you to accept some, some, some Marxist stuff against people you don't like and the minute you accept it, they turn around and do it to you.
Jimmy Dore
That's exactly right.
Sam Tripoli
You know, so everyone's like, yeah, get rid of these, get rid of these foreigners who are here illegally, ok. And what they're just going to start to do, eventually start black bagging Americans. It's just inevitable. And here's the whole thing like this no Kings thing and this Tesla protest is the greatest example of the power of propaganda. Because if you study who showed up to these protests, okay. Especially the Elon Musk protest, it was all 55 and up white people who are the only people watching cnn. That's right, MSNBC right now.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Sam Tripoli
So if you study no Kings real quick, go ahead. You know, people, people gave me a lot of crap for some of the posts I put up being like super dramatic. But I was like, don't go to no Kings. This is a setup. And what you and it wasn't what people thought it was. And everyone's like, oh, it was nothing. Well, I go, is it nothing because it just didn't work the way they want to? Or was it nothing because enough people like us are saying this is a setup. The Walmart air is the one funding everything. So in deep in east la, gang leaders were like, no one in the neighborhood goes to these protests. So I do think it was working. And if you study how they operate, you know, BLM was for black people, January 6th is for white people. And no kings were for Latinos. And they just work every demographic because if you look at countries that overthrow their governments, they tend to be ethnocentric. They're all of the same ethno ethnic group. And America, what they've done to us is divide and conquer us on almost every single issue. Even getting you the flip flop, you had the, you know, California, we have the my body, my choice people. And it's a foundation of, of this super progressive government. Until comes to the Jack scene. I don't know what I can say on here, but until it comes to the shot. And then they flipped on that real quick, right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Sam Tripoli
Then you add, then you had the right. That was the anti censorship and anti cancer culture until it comes to Israel. And then they flip right there on that.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Sam Tripoli
This whole thing, especially with the, with the, the Epstein files, it's all to get you to not know if you're coming or going. It's a demoralization campaign.
Jimmy Dore
But well said. So here's some. Mila Joy says Democrats voted yes in that poll because it would destroy the gop. That's what she's saying.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, I agree with that.
Jimmy Dore
I think what we actually do is. I think what we actually do is make the Republican Party the American party and work day and night to remove every rhino piece, piece of shit from our party. The whole problem with the GOP is 85% of them are actually warmongering, money laundering Democrats. Well, they're just establishment. So the Democrat and Republicans are the establishment. So it's not that they're Democrats, it's that they're just establishment politicians. That's the problem.
Sam Tripoli
Who look at video, who look at war like a video game. That's right, show. And they'll never go fight it ever in their life. Never. Not one person from their bloodline will ever see this war that they thirst for. And you have a couple states right now who are enacting term limits. We got, you know, it's like, why Is there. Why can't I only go like a couple years or a couple terms in LA as the mayor? But I. And as a center and congressman, I can go decades and decades and decades.
Jimmy Dore
You can only be president for two terms. You can be. Yeah. You can be there for 50 years. Like Mitch McConnell and Barbara Eins, all of them.
Liam Neeson
So.
Jimmy Dore
But let me. I keep stopping this point. So people thought they voted for free speech. They didn't get it. People thought they voted for less military spending. Trump is exploding the Pentagon budget and at the same time he's cutting people's healthcare. Medicaid.
Sam Tripoli
Unbelievable.
Jimmy Dore
Which he said he wouldn't do. Which they are doing. They're doing that. And it's been warned against by people, by like, Steve Bannon came on this show and said, there's a lot of MAGA on Medicaid. Don't do this. So. But they're doing it and they're doing it under the guise of, we're just cutting illegal immigrants. I'm sure they are, but that. It's, that's not what, that's not all they're cutting. Okay.
Sam Tripoli
It's gonna affect Americans. And this is our biggest problem with our government. It's like we get wined and dined during the election, told everything we want to do. It's like when guys court women, they say whatever they gotta do to get to where they want to go. And that's why women go crazy, because they're like, you lied to me. You said all these sweet nothings and then you totally lied about. It's the same thing with voting, right? You just. They tell us anything we want to hear. Once we elect them in, they completely abandon us. And that's why we need to get like a no confidence vote going on in this country. You see it in Britain where like after like a year, they're like, you lied to us. You're out in with a new guy. And I think we need stuff like that. We need to be able to go, hey, man, this isn't going the way you promised us. You're out. Let's have a new election.
Jimmy Dore
So it doesn't seem like we're going to. We're. It's. I said this, these exact words to someone at a comedy club the other night. I was talking to Tom Rhodes and I said, yeah, it doesn't look like we're going to be able to vote our way out of this. Tom. It said, no matter what you vote for, you get John McCain. Is that the old saying goes?
Sam Tripoli
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
No matter who you vote for. You get John McCain State and you get the permanent state. And Trump is just in bed with a different section of the permanent state, which the Epstein file thing reveals. And him closing down the investigation into his own assassination attempt also. So he's just in bed with a different faction of the deep state.
Sam Tripoli
But there are cartels. They are. And they just, they're just warring cartels. And when cartels need to work with each other, they work with each other. And when they don't, they put on the theater and they fight over territory. Because the President of the United States is kind of like mayor of Chicago, which is notorious for being completely corrupt.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. Right.
Sam Tripoli
And all you want to do is deceit, so you hand out the contracts to your people instead of them handing out the contracts to their people. And most likely Trump now represents the extremely corrupt New York City real estate people. That's who got into Washington. They're like, why should we just run New York City? Let's just go run Washington. He's just a crime boss. I've been saying this forever. He's a crime boss. And, and he's a different cartel. He's just a different cartel than the George Bush death cult that had everybody since Reagan all the way up to Obama and then Biden.
Jimmy Dore
I said it was the last. I said this. Viva Frey, friend of the show, said, if you want to know how a multi party system works, look at Canada. Do you want America to become Canada? If the system is broken, more of a broken system isn't going to fix it. That's kind of a good, kind of a good point. Do it. The fact that so many influencers are replying to this post with the pre written pro swamp talking points within seconds only proves your point. America needs a libertarian conservative party that stands for Americans, not foreign regimes. I think there already is a party. It's called the Libertarian Party.
Sam Tripoli
I totally agree on that as well. I think the biggest problem we got right now is these elites don't fear us at all. They have zero fear of us. If you study history, they eventually the people get tired of it and they take out the leadership. And I'm not calling for anything, but I'm saying that's what history is and there's no history. What was the last person that ever got tried for a crime? Was it during the Iran Contra affair and they threw what's his face under the bus. And he was the only one who went to jail.
Jimmy Dore
Oliver North. Yeah.
Sam Tripoli
Nobody else.
Jimmy Dore
And then he got really punished by a job on Fox News making millions of dollars Anyway, about taking away our guns. The red headed libertarian says. I say this as a libertarian. Third parties fail in America. The unit party designed it that way. Following ro Perot, a third party candidate needs 15% in five unit party polls just to get into the debate. That said, we know infiltration is effective as the Democrat party is overrun with communists at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to read that there was going to be a diddy party on the ticket. He's a. I mean, he's a liberalitarian kind of. Oil prices will finally go way down, if you know what I'm talking about. Here it is. So here he did it. This is the Federal Election Commission statement of organization, American Party. There it is. And who's running it for him? He's got the CFO of Tesla Musk's American party filing names Tesla CFO Vob Danesia as Treasurer triggers H1B party backlash. Now you remember it said nobody, okay, nobody is saying that the American Party needs a leader with a name like Brad Langley or anything like that. But you got to ease us into this.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, we gotta be able to spell it.
Jimmy Dore
Don't just spit on the subject and then jam us in there. I mean, anyway, so that's the guy. So if you remember what happened with the H1B visas, Trump again ran on, you know, American workers prioritizing American workers. And then Trump flipped along with Elon Musk and said, no, we got to bring in H1B visa people. Why? Because they can pay them less. That's the whole reason. That's the whole reason. There's already, there's already a visa program for workers who have special skills that it is uncovered on that. You don't need the H1B for that. The H1B is just so they can come in and undercut American workers. That's all that is. And Trump went along with it and so did Elon Musk. And that's what I keep saying. You can't vote your way out of this. You can't vote your way out of this 100%.
Sam Tripoli
What happens is they pay them less money, which means they can't live a proper life. So they have to all clump together to survive. And then you start building these like kind of pockets of foreign culture and you see it all the time. So nobody ever integrates anymore. So they don't become. They're just Indians living in America. They're not. They're American because they're here, but they're not being integrated into our culture. And if I hear another person tell me when it whether whatever the job is that Americans don't want to do it. They talk about a lot about agriculture. Americans don't want to do that. Yesterday when I went through that is such a fat ass. Because I'm a fat ass. The guy handed me a bag at the drive thru was 55 years old. Okay? People want to work.
Jimmy Dore
So that. I've heard that argument too, Sam, and that is such a bullshit argument that these are jobs Americans won't do. You're so full of shit. Yeah, 100% Americans have been farmers since the beginning of this country. Americans have worked in meatpacking facilities. Americans have worked construction. American have worked lawn maintenance. Americans have worked every job, every dirt. You know, Mike Rowe used to have that show dirty Jobs. Those are all Americans. They'll get out of here.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, 100%.
Jimmy Dore
There's some job out there that Americans aren't willing to do if you pay them a living wage. Of course they are. They don't want to go work for a sub living wage. That's the whole deal. But that's why they have open borders. And that's the whole point of that.
Sam Tripoli
They had some either meatpacking industry place that either it was that or a farm. And they basically ice had raided it. They took almost all the workers. The next day there was a line around the block of Americans trying to get jobs. They'll work.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. So that I've heard people say that. And those are people who don't know what they're talking about. Elon. Musk companies have received at least $38 billion in U.S. government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits over 20 years. That's per the Washington Post analysis from February 2025 breakdown. SpaceX has gotten 22.5 billion Tesla 11.4 billion. Figures may be higher due to classified deals. So, you know, you forget that Musk is perhaps one of the most powerful military contractors in history.
Sam Tripoli
And we think he's gonna save us.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's right. The nerds, then the tech geeks think that they're gonna be spared from digital dystopia.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah, man, it's absolutely nuts. And it's everything. I don't know how to stop it. I, I think bringing up awareness is it. But nobody's come to save you. You gotta save yourself. And you got to kind of change from the inside. That's how you're an example to others. And it's, it's the Internet took our eye off of Local. The Internet made us start looking at all these national. We stopped reading local newspapers. We stopped seeing what was happening in our local school boards and city councils, and we focused all on the national. And reality is, you can do change on your local level. That's where you can make the change. And we got to start focusing on that way more.
Jimmy Dore
And let's remind people of what his actual beliefs are. Assault rifles should be minimum. Require a special permit where the recipient is extremely well vetted, to be more precise. I mean, any semiautomatic gun with supersonic ammo and a large magazine. So he's for that. He says, exactly. A carbon tax. He's for a carbon tax. Did you know that? Elon Musk is for a carbon tax to correct the unprecedented externality market will do. So he's for a carbon tax. And why do you think that is? Because he makes fucking electric cars.
Sam Tripoli
Yup. 100.
Jimmy Dore
Why do you think he's for a carbon tax? Okay. Also, he says, as a reminder, I'm in favor of universal basic income.
Sam Tripoli
That is the death of art. It's the death of art. When you start to. Everyone's on the government tip. And you look at California, the number one employer is the US Government.
Jimmy Dore
In fact, in California. In California, are you including defense contractors in that?
Sam Tripoli
I'm including all of them. Facebook, all that stuff. They are the. Are the. And just the government. Government. Whether it's the college institutions, they're the number one employer in California.
Jimmy Dore
So Victoria Brown says to Elon, as a reminder, you are a billionaire who underpays his workers. Maybe sit this one out.
Sam Tripoli
That's fire. That's fire.
Jimmy Dore
So he also says, I think essential services, including health care, should be taken care of by the government or meaning the taxpayers. I'm for Medicare for All. 100%.
Sam Tripoli
100%. Like, it's actually ridiculous because you have no one that can counter basically, them rigging the system and making you pay that much. Whether it's your doctor, they get kickbacks on that. The insurance company. Everyone's making money off this. You need to have a counter to that. And I'm okay. You know, they're always talking about certain things running at a loss. I'm fine with health care running at a loss. I would rather go in debt because of health care than into war.
Jimmy Dore
That's right. And I know a lot of people like Jimmy. The same people who did Covid will be running your health care then. No. The same people who did Covid are running your health care now.
Sam Tripoli
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
100. Who do you think runs your health care now? Do you think they put in vaccine mandates because Joe Biden woke up and thought it was a good idea or because he was fucking told to by his owners, which are Big Pharma and the Wall street bankers? Those are the people who told him to do this. Yeah. Those are the people who are running your health care now. Those are the people who have an economic incentive to stop you from getting medical treatment when you're sick. And guess what? They do it now.
Sam Tripoli
And the people off of our sickness.
Jimmy Dore
The people who, who are the most happy with their health care are the people on Medicare because there isn't a capitalist in between you and your doctor trying to deny you service because they make more money if they deny you service. Somebody in the government doesn't make more money if they deny you service, but somebody at the health insurance company does. And somebody at Big Pharma makes more money when they get the government to not negotiate their drug prices.
Sam Tripoli
Yes. Yes.
Jimmy Dore
Like every other country in the goddamn world.
Sam Tripoli
All right, Ian Carroll did something about how there's these drugs out there that cause hair loss. And right next to those drugs are her medicine for hair loss. And they're owned by the same company.
Jimmy Dore
He says, the reason I'm in America, along with so many. So remember when he did this? So this is the H1B visa thing. So he's trying to say that H1B visas is a good thing, which it's not. And then he told people, take a. If you're not for it, take a big step back and F yourself in the face. I will go to war on this issue. The likes which you cannot possibly comprehend. So anybody who can F themselves in his own face is not going to be spending any time on social media because they're too busy fucking their own faces. Hey, where have you been all day? I just been effing my own face. Oh, you got a little something on your collar.
Sam Tripoli
They're not going to be on Twitter. They're going to be on only fans.
Jimmy Dore
So here, here's Trump's. Trump's response. Here's what he said. Starting a third party. I think it's ridiculous to start a third party. We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it's always been a two party system. And I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked. So he can have fun with it, but I think it's ridiculous. So do you Think. Why do you think Elon's doing this? Do you think Trump is saying that it's because he cut his. He got a tax break for having an electric vehicle. Trump. And the big, beautiful bill cuts that out. So that's a lot of money. That's not gonna go to Tesla, But Elon says it's because of the big, beautiful bill and they're exploding the deficit. What do you think it is, Sam?
Sam Tripoli
I think he didn't get a return on all the money he gave him. I mean, he gave him, what, a hundred mil, 200 mil? And he just basically out now, and it's not even like one year in. I think he's upset about that. He might be upset that he didn't get the contract that Palantir got. You know, he's all about the trans agenda as well and transhumanism agenda and collecting all the data. That's really what Twitter's about, is collecting your data. He's losing money on that. And he might be pissed that the contracts went to Palantir and did go to him when he gave him all that money. It has to do with the power and money. It has less to do with making America great. I mean, if you look at IBM, right? IBM is a giant tech company. They're just laying off 9,000Americans to give them the H1B visa people, which is less money, right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Sam Tripoli
And are you telling me the people at IBM aren't smart enough to do those jobs? I mean, it's just ridiculous.
Jimmy Dore
It is ridiculous. And that. So, again, you can't vote your way out of this, folks. You thought you were voting for a guy who was America first. He's not. He's corporations first. It's not about you. And that's every president. That's every president in my lifetime. I'm not picking on Donald Trump. I'm showing you there's no way to vote your way out of this.
Sam Tripoli
Kim Iverson, who does great work, is like, I'm voting straight Democrat now. I'm like, well, you voted straight Republican because of what the Democrats did. And anybody. You're hearing a lot of this from these progressive comics who are friends of mine, but they're all like, hey, hey, hey, Trump guys. You know, you own this. This is all on you. I'm like, what do you think? Kamala Harris would be doing the exact same thing. The difference between her press conference about the Iran bombing and Trump's. Trump's is all closeted people. And Kamalas would be just like, blm, feminists and trans standing be higher. That's the only difference between those two. They would all be doing the exact same thing.
Jimmy Dore
So I'm saddened. Here's Trump's a longer boy. He just. Could someone teach him how to put it in paragraphs? I'm saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely off the rails, essentially becoming a train wreck over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a third party. Despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States. The system seems not designed for them. Yeah, why don't. So why don't you try to fix the system to make it so we can have more? So he's just like, no, it's good. Status quo is good. That's what Donald Trump is saying. The status quo is good. Everybody hates the two party system, but it's good because it serves him. The one thing third parties are good for is the creation of complete and total disruption and chaos. And we have enough of that with the radical left Democrats who have lost their confidence in their minds Republicans. He also wants to get rid of Thomas Massie. So keep so he's also too radical for Donald Trump. Keep that in mind. Republicans on the other hand are smooth running machine that just passed the biggest bill of its kind in history of the country. It is a great bill, but unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous electronic vehicle mandate which would have forced everyone to buy an electric car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want. Gasoline powered hybrids which are doing very well or new technologies as they come out. No more EV mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV mandate. It was every speech I made and in every conversation I had, he said he had no problems with that. I was very surprised. Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA. And while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was. Also I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon who was in the space business run NASA when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life. My number one charge is to protect the American public. Okay, you campaign on a lot of other stuff. He complained a lot of other shit. You've totally reneged, complain On. Yeah. Not bombing Yemen. You campaigned on free speech. You campaigned on a lot. Not cutting Medicaid. There's a lot of stuff you campaign on, by the way. Putting American workers first. That's why. And then you flipped that with H1B visa. So it's, it's. Again, he's flipping out. That's why I keep saying you can't vote your way out of this. And when is someone like Bernie Sanders or even AOC, AOC has like something like 13 million Twitter followers. What has she ever asked her Twitter followers to actually do anything? When has she ever asked them to get in the streets and shut something down? And never. Never. And they never will.
Sam Tripoli
So the crazy thing is that he, he's talking about how this guy was a lifelong Democrat. Guess what? Trump. You were a lifelong Democrat.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, Trump was a life.
Sam Tripoli
Guess who else was? Rfk, junior Elon. All of them. You just.
Jimmy Dore
Tulsi.
Sam Tripoli
Tulsi. They're all like time Democrats. And then they switch that because stuff was going crazy. He goes in there, just causes disruption and chaos. Guess what? That's what we want. Yeah, I want disruption and I want chaos because the system sucks. And it's not for the people. It's full of oligarchies. Okay. I mean, have you heard, like, people who are gluten, have problem with gluten. They go to other countries, they can eat the bread there because it doesn't.
Jimmy Dore
Have so much glyphosate.
Sam Tripoli
Why is everybody here over? Well, they make you think everybody here is overweight. But why is everybody overweight? Well, because we're working more. It's harder for us to get a nice meal. So we eat this fast food stuff that's got all these chemicals in it that is the. Make us dumb and fat so we can't participate in the political process. That's it. It's all about smokescreens. It's all about diverting our focus from what's happening in Washington, D.C. and how the Federal Reserve is funding everything you hate in the world, everything you hate through usaid. All that stuff is all. They don't want you paying attention to that.
Jimmy Dore
And they're not, by the way, they're not stopping that usaid, they're just folding it into the State Department or the Pentagon so that don't get your hopes up either about that. Oh, by the way, Trump said he was going to and Elon said they're going to audit the Pentagon. They didn't do it.
Sam Tripoli
None of it.
Jimmy Dore
They didn't do it. I Thought they were going to go to Fort Knox and find our gold. Remember? They were going to. Where is our gold? Where's the, where's the, the, the. The Epstein files? Where's the jfk? Where's all that stuff?
Sam Tripoli
Yeah. You know, I feel bad for Ghislaine Maxwell. She's in prison for nothing.
Jimmy Dore
Half. For absolutely nothing. In absolutely nothing, she really in prison.
Sam Tripoli
Oh, that's there. Now you're getting into my world.
Jimmy Dore
So that's all about. Well, that's what I've been saying. Sam over here is like, is, how do we do we. Is there proof that she's actually even in prison?
Sam Tripoli
Just some weird like looking through a whole kind of right.
Jimmy Dore
Does she offer? Does she show up once a month at the prison so she can punch in her time card? I mean, I don't know.
Sam Tripoli
I've always said that about these super big political criminals that get busted by the government and get sent to Denver to the supermax, that we'll never see them again. You're like, how do we even know they're there? I mean, if you say the Timothy McVeigh case, like, oh my God, it's so nuts. Like it's just like his whole funeral, no one got to watch the execution.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Sam Tripoli
No one knew like what car he was in. No one. They have one picture of it and then like, if you really want conspiratorial, there's videos about this one politician in Washington D.C. who looks exactly like him. It's very weird, you know, and just. It's all sorcery, dude. It's all sorcery. It's all energy manipulation to get you to not know if you're coming or going.
