Summary

Podcast Summary: The Jimmy Dore Show – "Jon Stewart DEFENDS Trump From Hysterical Democratic Critics!"

Release Date: February 12, 2025

In this provocative episode of The Jimmy Dore Show, host Jimmy Dore delves into the contentious relationship between former President Donald Trump and the Democratic Party, highlighting comedian Jon Stewart's unexpected defense of Trump amidst mounting political tensions. The episode navigates through satirical interactions, sharp political commentary, and critical analyses of media narratives, offering listeners a comprehensive exploration of the current American political landscape.

1. Satirical Call from "Andrew Cuomo" [01:19 – 07:51]

The episode opens with a humorous and exaggerated phone call from a character impersonating former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. In this parody segment, "Cuomo" boasts about defending Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against International Criminal Court (ICC) charges, labeling Netanyahu as a "war criminal" and expressing absurd ambitions to run for Mayor of New York City. This segment sets a satirical tone, mocking political figures and their controversial stances.

Notable Quote:

• "Isn't that something? Indeed. Well, I guess now people will see you for the slime ball." – Jimmy Dore ([03:03])

2. Jon Stewart's Critique of Democratic Rhetoric [08:36 – 17:31]

Transitioning from satire, Jimmy introduces Jon Stewart’s critical stance on the Democratic Party's tendency to label Trump as a fascist. Stewart argues that Democrats reflexively equate Trump’s actions to fascism without substantive evidence, urging for more nuanced critiques.

Key Points:

• Stewart's Argument: Democrats frequently call Trump a fascist, which dilutes the term's significance and undermines their credibility.
• Jimmy's Counterpoint: He supports Stewart’s observation, emphasizing that Democrats' overuse of "fascist" hampers their ability to identify genuine authoritarian threats.

Notable Quote:

• "The left cries ‘Hitler’ too much. So I'll give credit to Jon Stewart for at least saying this now." – Jimmy Dore ([17:31])

3. Democratic Overreach and Authoritarian Tendencies [17:32 – 29:03]

The discussion shifts to examining the Democratic Party's own potential overreach. Dore and his guests argue that Democratic policies under Biden, such as lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, mismanagement of federal agencies, and financial reallocations, exhibit authoritarian characteristics reminiscent of fascist tactics.

Key Points:

• Lockdowns and Economic Measures: Viewed as excessive control over personal freedoms and business operations.
• FEMA Funding: Criticism over FEMA reallocating disaster relief funds to house illegal immigrants, violating executive orders ([52:16]).
• Agency Firings: Democrats' dismissal of inspectors general and watchdogs is portrayed as undermining governmental transparency and accountability.

Notable Quote:

• "If you keep doing that, if Trump ever does something fascistic and Hitler-like, you won't have any credibility to call him." – Jimmy Dore ([17:31])

4. Elon Musk's Influence and Government Cost-Cutting Analogies [26:28 – 33:44]

Jimmy and his team draw parallels between Elon Musk’s cost-cutting strategies at Twitter and potential fiscal reforms in the federal government. They argue that Musk's approach—such as mass layoffs and zero-based budgeting—could be beneficial if applied to government operations, reducing waste and increasing efficiency.

Key Points:

• Twitter's Turnaround: Despite significant workforce reductions, Twitter’s profitability increased under Musk’s management.
• Government Reforms: Adopting similar tactics could lead to reduced government expenses and taxpayer savings.

Notable Quote:

• "If we apply that to the government, that means more taxpayers' savings and more money for us to keep in our pockets." – Jimmy Dore ([27:07])

5. Super Bowl Halftime Incident and Media Hypocrisy [38:05 – 44:46]

The episode covers a recent Super Bowl halftime show incident where a performer unfurled a Sudanese-Palestinian flag, resulting in his ejection and a lifetime ban from NFL stadiums. Dore criticizes the NFL and media for their overreactions and censorship, framing it as reflective of broader issues with free speech and governmental control.

Key Points:

• Performer’s Protest: The act is seen as a stand against Western imperialism and a call for solidarity with victims in Gaza and Sudan.
• NFL’s Response: Immediate banning and lack of transparency regarding charges are critiqued as heavy-handed.

Notable Quote:

• "He should be charged with the crime of exhibiting that he has a conscience." – Jimmy Dore ([43:34])

6. FEMA Funds and Disaster Relief Mismanagement [50:03 – 57:59]

Dore introduces allegations from Elon Musk and others about FEMA misallocating disaster relief funds to illegal immigrants instead of American citizens in urgent need, such as those in North Carolina waiting for propane to prevent freezing. This segment underscores perceived governmental inefficiencies and misprioritizations.

Key Points:

• Misallocation of Funds: $59 million sent to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants during disaster relief efforts.
• Public Outrage: Limited response from Democrats on mismanagement while focusing on other priorities.

Notable Quote:

• "Sending this money violated the law and it is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order." – Elon Musk through Jimmy Dore ([52:16])

7. Conclusion and Final Commentary [57:00 – End]

In the closing segments, Dore reiterates his stance on the necessity of auditing various government departments to ensure financial accountability and prevent misuse of funds. He criticizes both Democratic and Republican figures for their roles in perpetuating governmental inefficiencies and corruption.

Key Points:

• Government Audits: Emphasized as essential for transparency.
• Political Accountability: Calls out both parties for failing to address systemic issues effectively.

Notable Quote:

• "It's good to have an audit and it's good to get rid of USAID. It's good to have an audit of the Pentagon." – Jimmy Dore ([37:04])

[Andrew Cuomo]

Hello, Jimmy. This is Andrew Cuomo.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's never not up to something. He's always up to something. Oh, brother. Yeah. Well, why do you keep calling?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Why do I keep calling? Because I keep being in the news, but mainly I just love hearing the sound of your voice.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, fine. What's on your mind?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Well, Jimmy, it's been an interesting week for me because one of my international clients is visiting the country, which he does from time to time.

[Jimmy Dore]

And who might that be?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Well, that would be Benjamin Netanyahu, of course.

[Jimmy Dore]

Bibi Netanyahu is one of your clients?

[Andrew Cuomo]

In a sense, yes. I joined the legal team assembled by Alan Dershowitz, tasked with defending Mr. Netanyahu from the charges leveled against him by the ICC, the International Criminal Court. As you know, the ICC very anti semitically charged Mr. Netanyahu with war crimes, but what they really ended up doing was charging themselves with anti Semitism.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, brother.

[Andrew Cuomo]

That's right, Jimmy. Just when you think I can't get any slimier, I throw my lot in with the biggest war criminal of the 21st century. Isn't that something?

[Jimmy Dore]

Isn't that something? Indeed. Well, I guess now people will see you for the slime ball. That you are right.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Actually, I'm leading in the polls.

[Jimmy Dore]

Excuse me?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Oh, haven't you heard? Jimmy Dore, I am currently the top polling candidate for the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City. The Big Apple, my hometown.

[Jimmy Dore]

But you haven't even announced your candidacy for mayor yet.

[Andrew Cuomo]

I know. Imagine how well I do if I actually run for mayor. And you know what? I think I just might run for mayor. And I may not get the endorsement of President Trump, which may not help that much in New York City, but I will have something much more valuable. The endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu in New York City. Good God, a BB endorsement? Jimmy, are you kidding me with that? I could get blown up to 200ft tall like ant man and sexually assault the Statue of Liberty and I'd still win by double digits. And off the record, I wouldn't mind it. I bet she's got a nice figure under all those.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh my God. Have you. Have you no shame, sir?

[Andrew Cuomo]

No, I don't, actually. You know, it's interesting. I've actually been studied by psychologists. I have a rare neurological disorder whereby I do not in fact experience the mental state that the rest of you call shame. A condition which only affects an estimated 7 out of 10 adult males in the population.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, since you lack the shame gene, I'll tell you myself, you should be ashamed.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Why? Because I am defending a man, a good man, from ICC charges that stem from antisemitism or that I am using that relationship for personal gain? Clearly and transparently manipulating the Jewish voters of New York to secure electoral support?

[Jimmy Dore]

All of that, actually.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Oh, I figured it would be just one yes. See, I really don't get the shame thing because of my disease.

[Jimmy Dore]

You think cozying up to Zionism is going to outweigh all your sexual assault allegations and how you mishandled Covid?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Jimmy, to quote in my new bestie, bb, don't be naive.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, geez.

[Andrew Cuomo]

How long do you think Americans memories are, let alone New Yorkers? Life here is so fast paced that we don't have time to contemplate something that happened at 11am These issues you speak of, you might as well be talking about prehistoric time.

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't really think so, Mr. Cuomo.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Jimmy, you may as well get used to calling me Mr. Mayor. Oh, no, I went yarmulke shopping yesterday with Bibi and he knows how to pick ones that really pop on the campaign trail. He's going to get the New York electorate all whipped up on my behalf.

[Jimmy Dore]

What do you think of Trump and Bibi's? Announcement yesterday regarding the future of the Gaza Strip.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Jimmy, if you would ask me three weeks ago if I thought a US takeover of Gaza followed by an American program of land development would be a good idea, I would have said, you're out of your mind. But now I think it's a fantastic idea.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. What changed?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Just soul searching. I agree with Trump and Bibi. It really is in everyone's best interest.

[Jimmy Dore]

Is it in the Gazan's best interest?

[Andrew Cuomo]

Yes, I think it is. If they are displaced from Palestine, forced to live in Egypt against their will, wander as refugees in the desert for, say, 40 years. Well, if past is prologue, maybe they'll get their own homeland someday.

[Jimmy Dore]

Really? And where would that be?

[Andrew Cuomo]

I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Maybe upstate somewhere. Hell, I was governor. I don't know what's up in some of those areas. I think a lot of it is empty.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, it's always nice to talk to a complete moral husk of a person. Thanks for your time, Mr. Cuomo. I've got to take a shower now.

[Andrew Cuomo]

Always a pleasure, my friend. Now, don't be a stranger. When I'm elected mayor of New York, I'm going to be calling you all the time. And I mean all the time.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's gonna be Mary. He's really good, my brother. Establishment media sucks. August lighting, so good luck. Bullshit. We can't afford why he's commenting this. Watch and see as his jack golf the medium, speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.

[Jon Stewart]

It's the chimney to your show.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Jon Stewart is once again playing heads on his flipping coin of his career these days. He's decided to tell you how crazy the Democrats are being in response to Trump's first two weeks in office.

[Kurt Metzger]

He noticed.

[Jimmy Dore]

Even Jon Stewart noticed. Isn't that amazing? Of course they're going to make him pay for doing this by, you know, doing real estate ads for Gaza with Ben Stiller. Hi, I'm Ben Stiller, and if there's one thing I know, it's that I'm no simple Jack when it comes to property investments. So it says. There's the head. Here's the headline from the rap. Jon Stewart defends Trump against fascist claims. What would you effing do? He says. So it has become fairly routine for Democrats to liken President Donald. This is from the rap from the President Trump's actions over the last week to fascism. They, of course, that's it. That's all fascist. He's doing fascism things. You mean the guy was elected to. Okay, you mean he's doing an audit? Fascist. Audits are fascists. And the Daily show host Jon Stewart, for one, is sick of it. He's sick of the Democrats calling Trump a fascist. The Comedy Central host went on to criticize the political left for yelling fascist, calling it almost a reflex. Almost.

[Kurt Metzger]

Almost.

[Jimmy Dore]

Almost. Stewart ended his opening monologue by telling Democrats to ask better questions than how dare he? The question should be, what are you learning from this? How would you use this power, the power that Trump's using? Powers. Use. Trump's using his power of the presidency, the power that he's given. Stewart said it's enough with the. He is a Hitler. Stop doing that. What would you effing do if you had the presidency? Okay, so. And first of all, John, that. They can't stop doing that. You know, the Democrats can't stop doing the how dare you? And they can't stop calling him a fascist. Secondly, you know what they would do if they had Trump's power? You watch them do it. They made everyone take experimental medical treatments. They locked us down. They closed people's businesses. They. They started. They ended a war in the worst way possible and started another war.

[Kurt Metzger]

They charged him with a felony for selling his house. The Jon Stewart way.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, that's right. So that's what they did. And then they prosecuted their political opponents. That's what they did when they had that power, that what would you do? That's what they did. You saw them do it over the last four years. You know damn well what they would do. They used the power of the FBI to sic 5,000 of their agents on a political movement, to disband it and discredit it and. And criminalize it. That's what they did. You know damn well what they would do.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, you know what they do? They would prize someone who never tells you what they actually think, like Kamala Harris. And look at someone who tells you what they think. Like they're the scum of the earth. That's what they would do. Like, they really admire Kamala never saying what she thinks.

[Mike McRae]

But this is the cycle we find ourselves in. First law of trouble dynamics. Every action is met with a very not equal overreaction.

[Nerkish]

These pardons are sick.

[Mike McRae]

They are offensive.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this is when. This is when Trump was giving out pardons. They were like, these are sick. Right. Remember that? But then when Biden did it, why, they weren't preemptive.

[Mike McRae]

They are un American.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is one of the most egregious.

[Aaron Durham]

Despicable Acts in American history.

[Mike McRae]

This is Textbook Authoritarian Takeover 101. I knew I should have taken that class and not majored in submissive liberal crying 101.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they're talking about Trump giving pardons to the January 6th people. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

You hear what John said? The last thing I should have taken that. Instead of submissive liberal crying, which is like funny because it's true. He did take that. They all took it.

[Jimmy Dore]

He did take that hit.

[Mike McRae]

In submissive liberal crying 101. Is it an abusive part of power? I don't know, but that is his constitutional power. Again, for some reason, we have given presidents the power of a king and then we say, oh, by the way, look at that power. You're not going to get all that kingly and on us.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right?

[Nerkish]

That's part time host and occasional funny man Jon Stewart calling out Democrats and establishment media for their incessant hypocrisy and fear mongering about Donald Trump and the Republicans. Welcome to Nerk News. I'm nerkish and it looks like it's one of those rare times when the left goes so far, I know this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Isn'T nerd rotic, this is nerc news.

[Nerkish]

Even liberals like Jon Stewart are forced to point out their lies, which have been almost too many to count since the start of President Trump's second term. Here's Stewart slamming top Democrats in the media for doing the only thing they know how to try to terrify Americans into doing what they want them to.

[Mike McRae]

The return to 1600 Trapelvania Avenue was as disorienting and chaotic as I imagined. But then we had a weekend serenity now and we can finally catch our breath, begin to move forward with intentionality. Namaste. Friday night massacre. Late Friday night purge.

[Nerkish]

A chilling purge. The purge.

[Mike McRae]

Trump has ushered in the purge. I for one, will take full advantage. Although just in case I'm misinterpreting, what is this purge about exactly?

[Nerkish]

Breaking news.

[Mike McRae]

The mass firing of government agency watchdogs. Trump fired at least 17 inspectors general. No, he got rid of 17 inspectors general. That only leaves no one knows how many. I have no idea what Trump did violated the law. He can't just fire these people.

[Nerkish]

Title 5, Section 403 of the U.S.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

Code, federal law and inspector general may.

[Nerkish]

Be removed by the president.

[Kurt Metzger]

What?

[Mike McRae]

What's the purge? What's the matter? Why do I have an axe?

[Nerkish]

There is a specific law that requires notice, 30 days and a statement of reasons, substantive and detailed rationale.

[Mike McRae]

What? I'm sorry, what? Oh, apparently you can fire them, but you have to give them 30 days notice. Oh, so that's what we're upset about. No, you can do it, but not in that font.

[Nerkish]

That's Hitler's font, you know, just like Bill Maher. Stewart only seems to see the problems of big government when a member of the opposing party is holding office. I mean, kudos to him for acknowledging it. But the expansion of executive power has been something conservatives have been complaining about for decades. None of this should come as a surprise because it's no secret that Democrats have no impulse control and can't delay gratification. I mean, this wouldn't be the first time that they've done something for short term gain that later bit them in the butt when Republicans took power and wielded it against them.

[Mike McRae]

Look, we are facing a deluge of these executive actions, and certainly we must be prepared for those most vulnerable to the consequences of these actions. But the this is all fascist argument has become almost a reflex for the left. Donald Trump promised.

[Jimmy Dore]

Jon Stewart is just noticing this now. This would have been a great segment, I don't know, eight years ago. He's just noticing this now. Man, this would have been really timely in, I don't know, 2019. The Democrats cry Hitler too much. Kurt. Really? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. What?

[Jimmy Dore]

Jon Stewart's telling me this in February 2025. The Democrats cry Hitler too much. I didn't know that.

[Kurt Metzger]

Hey, do we have to call them Hitler a fascist? Because the Ukrainians are using the word Nazi and we don't want to mix them up with Hitler. I think, hey, he's a Nazi, not a fascist.

[Jimmy Dore]

I mean, how does Jon Stewart put all this together after hanging a medal on a legit Nazi?

[Kurt Metzger]

How do you not put it together? You mean.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, how do you not say, wow, Democrats are full of shit with the Nazi alarms.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. It doesn't dawn on you, like, look, that can happen to anybody. Somebody says, come to Disneyland, hanging metal on this Nazi and Mickey Mouse there, you don't know what you're doing. They cover his elbow with the Himmler tattoo. But then when you find out about it later, because people brought it up and I know it got back to.

[Jimmy Dore]

You, of course, got brought up on.

[Kurt Metzger]

Your, hey, you know what? Shut about Nazis forever. You fucking never bring up Nazis ever again after that.

[Jimmy Dore]

You know, to be a dictator on day one.

[Mike McRae]

And he's carried that forward through the entire week.

[Nerkish]

Five days into this administration, the abuse is already rampant.

[Mike McRae]

On a fascism scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being peak fascism. How would you rate Trump's first week? Mussolini to the Holocaust? You know, I would say it's not fascism. Do I not understand what fascism is? Republicans control the House, the Senate, the executive, and the judiciary. And just about every move that has been made till this point, we have granted them. Electorally, it's our fault. And the constant. Yeah, it's just our fault. And the constant drumbeat of encroaching fascism will erode the credibility we will need if. Hopefully if and not when it hits. But the truth is that for now, his most objectionable actions have taken place almost entirely within our designed democratic system. There was no authoritarian and run.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what he's saying is you're wrecking your credibility by calling Trump a fascist and Hitler all the time when he's just doing stuff that he's actually democratically elected to do, and he's using democracy. And if you keep doing that, if Trump ever does do something fascistic and Hitler like, you won't have any credibility to call him. You're good. So he's saying, you're the boy who cried wolf. So I'll give credit to Jon Stewart for at least saying this now. Just like, you know, Piers Morgan who now admits that he got Covid vaccines wrong. Right. I'll give them credit. Most people won't. Most people won't do what he's doing. So I'll give him credit. I'm gonna give him credit.

[Kurt Metzger]

What do you. What do you mean, if it get. He didn't say if Trump becomes fascist. He said if it gets to that. If it gets to that. You remember lockdowns and all, right? Mandatory experimental gene therapy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? That's just got to. That's it.

[Kurt Metzger]

Got to that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, that's what I tried to tell Cornel west when he's on the show. He goes, well, he's lying on purpose. We could get here. We know fascism could come if. What do you mean could come? You're living in it. You've been living through it. What are you talking about? They're censoring. They're censoring the leading doctors, the leading journalists, the leading scientists. They're censoring them. Hallmark of fascism. They're forcing experimental medical treatments. They're locking people in their house. You're living through it.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, also, it turns out USAID was paying for all the wokeness and everything that everyone hates.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Kurt Metzger]

That's so. That's the CIA. So it's called fascist. What is not fascist about that?

[Jimmy Dore]

What is not fascist about that? You're right. And so, I mean, Jon Stewart is. He's a nice guy who got bitten by a werewolf. That's what it seems like. And he's like your trusted and true friend, except for that one day a month. And this is it. He's turning on his shitlib friends again.

[Kurt Metzger]

Submissive. He's a submissive liberal. That's what that joke at the top was, and it's true. And they're all submissive liberals. And for the last 10 years, they've been like, man, you toxic. You got to be more submissive to nonsense and be like, well, I'm guilty as a man. All that bullshit. And liberal dipshits just went all in on that. Most of them are bigger predators than anybody on the right, too, by the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Way, man, he's right that the Democrats do. They are just crybabies and they suck actual fighting. They were culturally designed to make everyone who isn't exactly like them hate them.

[Kurt Metzger]

If you can't see that, you're a human psyop when you're like that, your hair is an ugly color and you're a gender blob and you're unpleasant to be around, you don't see they made you into a bioweapon on purpose to get more control.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Jon Stewart's got more to say. He's doing a good job. I've got to give it to him.

[Mike McRae]

No royal edicts. This happened to us as designed.

[Nerkish]

I've got to admit that it is a little funny how the party that claimed to love and protect democracy can't seem to handle the system working as intended. I mean, it's just like Stewart pointed out, despite all their hysterics about Trump being a threat to democracy, it was their beloved system that got him elected and allowed him to wield so much power. Which puts Democrats in a weird situation where they need to crap or get off the pot. Because at the end of the day, it's either Stewart is right and the system is healthy and working as intended, or it's so flawed and has been from its inception that its own mechanisms led to its inevitable downfall. Which raises the question of why use the system in the first place? And call me crazy, but I think based on everything they've been expressing, Democrats are going to lean towards choosing the latter. But let me know what you think. Which direction will the left move in the next four years? Will they drop the act reluctantly, accept that our system of government is fine, or once and for all, admit that they Want to scrap the whole thing entirely.

[Jimmy Dore]

So great job by Nerk News. Whatever Nerk means, but I think he did. Yes. I mean, the Democrats, they have to stop with. Did you know. Did you know that Donald Trump eats ham for breakfast? You know who else did? Hitler.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. You know, the Nazis were really good on cruelty to animals. Like, you know, in a way that's worse considering their human treatment. But you don't like cruelty to the animals, right? Like, we don't throw that concept away because Hitler said, be nice to.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Kurt Metzger]

You can still be nice to dogs.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, I have a feeling that the reason why most shit lives rescue animals is because animals can't tell you what it's like living in a house with them every day.

[Kurt Metzger]

I agree. It's like Entourage. You see a lot of, like, old crazy actors do it. They get a dog, and it's like turtle in their entourage.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, Stalin liked his tea hot too. So does Trump.

[Kurt Metzger]

That's adjacent to fascism. Note for Nurkish, you could shadow yourself in the thing all you want, but I'm gonna spot you from your voice and ears and hair in when I see you. Do you know what I mean? You're not really hiding your identity that well. Like, I know I'm gonna hear that voice and see the ears and hair. And I'm just saying, like, you know, maybe get so.

[Jimmy Dore]

So even Jon Stewart cannot bite his tongue with the reaction to Trump's first two weeks. Even Donald, even John Stewart can.

[Kurt Metzger]

Or look into what's really going on with Such as the deporting of the sex slaves that were allowed to come in because of scumbag Democrats. Why don't you do a little research, John? The thing they tell you not to do because you're the guy. You're the middle car of the human centipede of news to shit libs. They're the caboose. So why don't you attach your lips to just a little bit better of an ass and digest that information for your viewers. You know.

[Jimmy Dore]

I. I just can't get over that Democrats won't stop watching corporate news, and they won't stop being so. They'll never get. They'll never stop being propagandized.

[Kurt Metzger]

Remember the thing of. I just want to hear something. Just tell me something bad about Trump. I just want to hear some bad about Trump.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Yes. I remember comedians getting on stage saying that.

[Kurt Metzger]

There you go. There's the driving force. Why would anyone. Unless the thing they're addicted to is so specific, like the nectar they need is someone saying Trump's bad.

[Jimmy Dore]

I saw.

[Kurt Metzger]

And you become addicted with, like Diet Coke.

[Jimmy Dore]

I saw comedians that I enjoy and like and respect get on stage when Trump got elected and talk about how they like to turn on msnbc. Just tell me something bad about Trump. I don't care what it is. You know what? That immediately get some dick. You know what that immediately made me think of was George Orwell's five minutes of hate. That's. That's what that is. That's exactly what that is for.

[Kurt Metzger]

They said how they repress your sexual energy so it could be put towards the five minute hate. Yeah, that's a big part of it. Not getting no dick. So you could sit there and be mad. And when they tell you to hate.

[Jimmy Dore]

Good on Jon Stewart. This today. Today. He's the good werewolf today.

[Kurt Metzger]

Hey, you know what? Candace Owens, who I was not a fan of before I become a big fan, I watched her look into stuff.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Kurt Metzger]

That's all I ask. Look into it. And then I want to hear that you learn something new and I can learn something. I already know this. Jon Stewart was this stuff from, like, when I first met you, we were saying, you know what I mean? Like, okay, cool. The Daily Show. So you're only, what, 10 years behind the eight ball on this.

[Jimmy Dore]

I know.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well, that's good, honey. I guess I'll treat you like a special student.

The people posing right now, people who are for the Ukraine war are the establishment. That would be the New York Times, the Washington Post, the news media. And so they've been running hit pieces on Elon Musk's doge, which to me is right now auditing the federal government and finding where everybody's outraged about something except the Democrats. They're not outraged about any of that spending. They're not outraged at the CIA. They're defending it. And so here's the New York Times did a hit piece and this guy debunks them. So is this Jeffrey Mead, I think is his name. They're trying to shape the public's perception to think that Elon Musk and Doge are. What they're doing is bad. And so let's just watch this.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

All right? Let's debunk the New York Times.

[Aaron Durham]

If you want to understand what Elon Musk is doing now to the federal government, all you have to do is look at what he did at Twitter in October.

[Jimmy Dore]

So you're telling me he's going to. What do you do at Twitter? You're telling me he's going to make everything way better, but still not as good as it should be. And Israel still going to have too much say because that's what he did with Twitter. He made it way better than it was, not as good as it could be, but still Israel has way too much slave. You mean that? Is that what he's going to do? Okay, let's watch 2022. Elon Musk bought Twitter for $44 billion and molded it in his own image.

[Aaron Durham]

He focused on mass layoffs, on reducing real estate footprint, and on pushing employees to resign so that he could cut back on payroll and real estate costs.

[Jimmy Dore]

Now he's taking those same tactics to the US Government.

[Aaron Durham]

Just look at the email that the federal government recently sent to its workers offering them a buyout to leave the government.

[Jimmy Dore]

It echoed a similar message that Elon Musk sent to Twitter employees in November 2022 with the exact same subject line.

[Aaron Durham]

Musk uses a approach to his businesses called zero based budgeting. He's now started to use that tactic in government and say basically government spending needs to come down to zero and line items need to be added back one at a time.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I don't get what this girl is saying exactly. Is she. Is, is she for or against Elon? Because can you say something bad he did? Yet everything she's saying, stop kicking, kissing his ass and saying all the good thing. Zero based budgeting. Oh, no. Are we about to lose our amazing no audits for the Pentagon system? Is that what you mean? How will $2 trillion turn up missing every 10 years? I. I don't know. Okay, here we go. And some of the same people that Elon Musk used during his Twitter takeover are now being deployed to help cut costs at the federal level. So it's worth asking, how successful were Elon Musk's tactics in reducing costs at Twitter while he's cut costs in slashing Back budgets in reducing headcount by around 80% of people. Corresponding revenue has also gone down. So he cut. He cut their workforce by 80% and Twitter got better. I haven't noticed any lag time in my Twittering. And he cut eight. So there was a, I guess a bloated bureaucracy over there, not enough people. So maybe he got rid of a lot of the people monitoring my pronoun usage.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, those people. Remember, they complained.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I remember that people would get kicked out for dead. Naming people. You get kicked off or using a wrong pronoun, misgendering someone. So I get. Was that 80% of the people that he got rid of? I don't know. So hang on, watch. I watch how they try to make this into a bad thing. Watch this.

[Aaron Durham]

Its valuation per investors has declined significantly from the 44 billion that Musk paid for the company in 2022. And what happened to those who were late?

[Jimmy Dore]

So. So what she's saying is he paid 44 billion for it and now it's not worth 44 billion anymore. It's worth less than that. But what is the profit margin? Let's find out.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

Very selective with their information. And the goal is to push a certain narrative to get you to think that what Elon is doing with the government is bad. But they say, hey, you know, if you want to see what he's doing with the government, just look at what he did with Twitter when he took it over. So yes, he cut a bunch of staff that was unnecessary and he cut unnecessary cost down. If we apply that to the government, that means more taxpayers savings and more money for us to get our government out of debt. But that's not it. All they told you is that revenues have decreased. So let's go back specifically to what he said.

[Jimmy Dore]

Budgets. In reducing headcount by around 80% of people, corresponding revenue has also gone down.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

Notice how he didn't say corresponding profit has also went down. Because it hasn't. Notice how he also didn't tell you that there was an advertising coup against X. A bunch of platforms stopped advertising on there to hurt the platform since Elon took it over.

[Jimmy Dore]

And as we found out from Mike Benz that that's a typical CIA strategy. Deep State usais is to try to target advertisers. And that's how you silence a voice you don't want heard. So they don't want free speech on Twitter, so they targeted their advertisers. That's exactly what they did.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, is that what the monopolies are for? So that you can't have free commerce and you know, you're already controlled by getting advertisers, which is bad enough. Yes, but we're gonna take them away.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. So that's exactly what, that's what they did to Zuckerberg at Facebook. And it worked. And the reason it worked because Zuckerberg isn't smart enough to figure out a way around his advertisers. And number two, Elon Musk, as Mike Benz told us, is a three digit billionaire as opposed to Zuckerberg, who's only a two digit billionaire. So he was able to withstand that onslaught a lot better than Zuckerberg. He didn't stand it at all. He just, he folded over. In 2019, Zuckerberg was saying, hey, Facebook is censoring too much. And then the deep state said, you better censor even more. And he was like, okay, because they, because they did an advertising thing on him and he lost something like $40 billion. So he immediately rolled over. Well, Musk didn't do that. Musk then started charging people $8 to go and even more to be premium members and things like that. And so he found other ways to subsidize that business and make it even more profitable. Anyway, I'll let this guy, he can.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

Tell you, but let's go back to profit. He didn't say anything about profit or EBITDA. Let's read this. Start at the bottom paragraph. In 2021, Twitter reported adjusted EBITDA of about $682 million and about 5 billion in revenue. That was the last full year before Elon took the company private. Now let's go to the top. X reported to investors 2024 adjusted earnings basically adjusted EBITDA, right, of about $1.25 billion and an annual revenue of $2.7 billion. Investors said that that was a better picture than they had expected and that X's finances hit an inflection point a few months before the election. So even with advertisers working against Elon, the company now has less revenue but produces more profit. And mind you, Twitter was a very, very, very left leaning company. Over 96% of political donations from Twitter employees went to Democrats. It was a very left leaning company. It was run by the left. So Elon took that company over, removed all the unnecessary pieces and removed the people that would be harmful to the platform, dealt with advertisers trying to destroy his platform and still turned it around. Now it has more features than ever and is more profitable than it was when he took it over with less revenue. And like she said in the beginning.

[Aaron Durham]

If you want to understand what Elon Musk is doing now to the federal government, all you have to do is look at what he did at Twitter.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh yeah, because Twitter's totally failing. Not like blue sky or mastodon or threads. Yeah, Twitter lost a lot of blue haired furries wearing diapers. Ok, now we may lose our federal diaper furries. Oh my God. Hang on. He's got more to say.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

Now let's think about it. He cut the expenses at Twitter, which would mean he would cut the expenses for the federal government, meaning they would require less tax revenue from you and I. He then made Twitter much more profitable. If he makes the federal government much more profitable, that means more excess to pay off our debts and then more excess to provide services for the American people. Twitter has greatly benefited from Elon Musk and our federal government will do the same. The less expenses our government has, the less tax revenue they need to collect from you and I. The less tax revenue you and I pay, the more money we get to keep in our pockets. And the more profitable the government is, the more they can reinvest back into the American people rather than just paying debts. Do not listen to these news outlets. Elon and Doge are doing exactly what we need.

[Jimmy Dore]

So again, I'm not saying that Elon Musk is a panacea or that either is Doge or what? I'm saying that it's good to have an audit of the federal government and it's good to get rid of usaid. And if you're against getting rid of usaid, then you're a puppet and you're a propagandized tool of the the deep state. Congratulations. You sound.

[Kurt Metzger]

There's no such thing.

[Jimmy Dore]

You sound just as dumb as Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer. Congratulations. You sound just as dumb as Demented Joe. Thank. Congratulations. You sound just like Morning Joe. Congratulations. You sound like Joy Ann Reid. Go ahead.

[Kurt Metzger]

I wouldn't say you sound as smart as them. Because they know they're lying to you.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Kurt Metzger]

So like, that's a good deal. Dumber than even Maxine Waters.

[Jimmy Dore]

I was at the Comedy Magic Club down in Hermosa beach on Saturday and people were comedians, you know, they're. Turns out they're just as susceptible to propaganda as everybody. Just look at what happened during COVID you know, So a lot of the same people who are telling people to don't do your own research doing Covid are not going along with the propaganda right now. About Doge. They, they were going, hey, Jimmy, this usaid, that's just a CIA thing, right? And I'm like, yeah. And I would explain it to him. And I explained how they do coups and I would explain how they use their money, their soft power to help corporations in the United States, but not necessarily help the people of that country and stuff like that. And so, and they're like, yeah, yeah, that's what I figured. So I don't think this propaganda push is really, it's only hitting with the Harris voters. Right. If you were dumb enough to vote with.

[Kurt Metzger]

Twitter didn't go downhill. The only way Twitter went downhill was people they don't like got to talk again to a certain degree. Not even like free speech, just mildly freer speech, which is an improvement for sure. That's really the secret of the success of Twitter. Let people talk.

[T-Mobile Advertiser]

But, but, all right, let's debunk the New York Times.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hang on. But she's a young person, Kurt. Young people wouldn't lie about the future that they're supposed to be a part of. I mean, no amount of money could make them lie. Right? I mean, a young dumb, she's young, so she dumb. A young person who's anti doze. That's like a drummer who's into a he's anti panel van. You know what I mean? They insist on driving in their own smart car with their set of drums in a separate Uber following along.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. All these young reporters at New York Times are cast like that idiot from the BBC misinformation brigade.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep.

[Kurt Metzger]

They don't know anything. They're just willing to be complete puppets. They're usually from a rich family. They've been trained to be suck ups from birth.

[Jimmy Dore]

And I'm, I'm not saying that the money that they save with USAID or without one, any other other audits is going to come back to us or they're going to actually use to pay off the debt. I, I, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that it's good to have an audit and it's good to get rid of usaid. It's good to have an audit of the Pentagon. It's good to have an audit of the Treasury Department. It's good to have an audit of usaid. It's good to know where our money's going and what it's actually being spent on so we could find out, hey, is the government actually funding en masse propaganda news outlets around the world and in our own country? The answer to that Would be. Yes.

[Kurt Metzger]

And that's the least evil thing they fund. And that's pretty bad.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, and that's pretty bad.

[Kurt Metzger]

Hey, remember when they couldn't find the $2 trillion, but we never could audit look into it because 911 happened like right after.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, right. The next day, in fact. The next day.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, they blew up their records in that one building.

[Jimmy Dore]

The Secretary of Defense said, oh, we can't comp for $2 trillion. The next day, 911 happens, and son of a gun, one of the planes went right into the office where they were doing all the accounting. So I guess we'll never know where that $2 trillion went.

[Kurt Metzger]

Wow. Damn you. And also, thank you, terrorists.

[Jimmy Dore]

What? First of all, what an amazing pilot. That pilot, that terrorist pilot who never officially ever even knew how to land a plane and did a maneuver that most seasoned pilots said they couldn't have pulled off. So that guy must have been a real savant when it came to piloting jumbo jets. Am I right?

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, you're dumb enough to leave his passport lying around in the airport. Yeah, we're not burned in the fire.

[Jimmy Dore]

And it certainly. It certainly wasn't being controlled remotely. That would never do that. A man performing during the Kendrick Lamar halftime concert at the super bowl unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and finally tackled and was removed by security.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, thank God.

[Jimmy Dore]

The NFL confirmed that the individual is going to be banned for life from all NFL stadiums. The good news is the man can still watch games from outside the stadium, where the NFL will control his access to food and water. While the US Government sends bombs to drop on the man's house.

[Kurt Metzger]

He'S been displaced from the stadium.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here it is. Here's how it happened. Good for him. Good for him. Bold. Good for him. And alone. I wonder if the security thinks he's part of the show. Oh. Oh, now they got him. Oh, now they got him. Oh, men in suits. Not even in football uniforms. Right. Men in suits. Had to tackle them. That's another. More suits. Different kind of tackle. And then he just suits and he just collapses. Like a baby when you're trying to pick up a baby. That's a smart. I like that move. Seems like people are cheering on. Yeah, yeah. We can't play the music for copyright. Right, right. So thank God for those courageous security people protecting me from my own conscience and having to look at what my tax dollars helped perpetrate. I don't want to see that kind of guilt trip while I'm watching men brutally smash into Each other for sport.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well, I don't want to see it during a rap concert. Especially while Kendrick is saying, turn the TV off.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's what he was saying. Right?

[Kurt Metzger]

It's hard to hear because I think he insisted on not lip syncing, which doesn't work in that setting. And I just imagine doing that stupid dance while someone's being tackled by security. Like, I would never be able to keep my concentration.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's a story about it. Super bowl halftime performer detained after unfurling suit. So he was one of the performers. Oh, good for him. Yeah, bold. Good for him.

[Kurt Metzger]

What's the Sudan part? I don't really get it.

[Jimmy Dore]

We will explain it to you in a second. It's coming up. It's in this segment. A performer in Kendrick Lamar's super bowl halftime show was detained late Sunday after showing a Sudanese Palestinian flag on the field. The NFL confirmed to the Associated Press that the individual will be banned for life, but they could still bomb his house. But how did he become. The only interesting part of the halftime show is that.

[Kurt Metzger]

That's really. It really was the only interesting part. Like, Kendrick Lamar is a good rapper, but like, he's such a bought. He's the same as Drake, the guy he hates. They got him dressed up with a crown of thorns like Jesus, just like they did with Kanye years ago. Now Kanye's crazy. And 10 years from now, Kendrick will be selling swastika T shirts and gibbering nonsense.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's interesting how they don't want to give the name of the guy. Isn't it? They're usually anxious to give it out. Yeah.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. That is weird.

[Jimmy Dore]

So the New Orleans Police Department also said authorities were working to determine applicable charges. New Orleans Police Department said the statement to Hill that the individual detained, an adult black male, was ejected from the stadium after the incident. How's he going to find out what happened during the game?

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. Do you get to hear the song ended?

[Jimmy Dore]

No arrest. No summons was issued. Really? They don't want to arrest them and the individual is not going to be identified. Isn't that interesting? Is it? Because they don't want that guy being interviewed? Because if they identified him and arrested him, if he arrested him, that's public record. So everyone would know who he is and then he would be going around everybody's podcast doing interviews.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

And that's the last thing they want.

[Kurt Metzger]

Right.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they didn't charge him. The individual stood on a prop car used in the performance and unfurled a combination flag with the word Sudan and Gaza written on it. The NFL told the AP that the performer hid the flag during the beginning of the show and revealed it late in the performance. No one involved in the production knew of his plans. The performance continued without a major disruption, unfortunately, because the performance was boring. This legend has been identified. Oh, here he is. That's him. That's the legend.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, I can't say that.

[Jimmy Dore]

I can't. I don't know how to say his name. Everybody just calls him Buster. The performer who raised a dual Sudanese Palestinian flag during Kendrick Lamar. He has no regrets about the stunt, which exposed a massive security failure for a major event attended by the US President. So that's his name. Zul Carney. And Tamboo confirmed that he unfurled the banner emblazoned with the word Sudan and Gaza in New Orleans on Sunday as a message of solidarity to the victims of those conflicts. Good for him. He has been banned from the NFL stadium he's seen by many. He says he was hired as a participant in the show and was part of the super bowl preparations over the previous two weeks, raising questions over the extent of the vetting process. He should be charged with the crime of exhibiting that he has a conscience. Is that. I think that's a crime also, I'm.

[Kurt Metzger]

Sure it violates some kind of anti BDS law, which I think are just. Just laws to boycott or divest from Israel investment.

[Jimmy Dore]

You are charged with the crime of demonstrating your conscience during an event concocted by the ancient Romans to make you love war and authority and also give you brain damage. If you could hear it, the funny we can't play. But the funniest part was how long it took the guys in the booth to figure out that that was the wrong color flag for the show. Hey, that one guy's really not staying with the dance routine. He says he deliberately unfurled his flag at the same time other banners were displayed as part of Lamar's set and that the celebrated rapper knew nothing. That made quiet. That may quieten. That's not a word that made quiet. Speculations on social media that Nantumbu's protest was sanctioned by organizers of the halftime show and that the protest was effectively an inside job. It wasn't a part of the plan. Okay, it wasn't. We get it. But here's this guy to tell you about the Sudan. You ready for this guy? Watch this.

[I]

Look, in case you couldn't tell, I'm British, and so I don't really care about the super bowl, but I do have to say that this Guy really piqued my interest. The man who, during Kendrick Lamar's performance, held up a flag with Sudan, Gaza on it and was later tackled by security. And I think that this is a very important act because people should realize how interconnected what's happened in Gaza over the last 16 months and the horrors of Sudan really are. Now, in case you didn't know what's happening in Sudan since about 2021, one of the most horrifying militias in the world, known as the Rapid Support Forces, has been waging a brutal campaign of horrors that I really can't even detail in this video. And the reason that they've been able to do this is because they are backed by one of America and the West's key allies in the Middle east, the United Arab Emirates. Now, the UAE always tries to deny their involvement in what's happening in Sudan, but their fingerprints are all over it. In fact, they've even been caught smuggling weapons disguised as humanitarian aid to the rsf. And the reasons that they are doing this are multiple. First of all, they like the mercenaries that they're able to get from Sudan. They deployed them against the Yemeni people in the 2010s, and they love the amount of gold that they can extract from Sudan. And finally, they think hemedity will make a great leader for the Sudanese people because like Sisi, who, who they propped up in Egypt, this guy will enforce political quietism and quite likely will normalize relations with Israel. And this is the part of the reason that the Sudanese and the Palestinian struggle are so deeply intertwined. People need to realize that forces like the United Arab Emirates in the Middle east are just as bad as Israel. They are key to Israel being able to do what it does because this is a country which is deciding who will rule the Middle East. In 2011, they launched a counter revolution to ensure that the Middle east didn't get democracy and might appoint leaders who wouldn't be interested in the American worldview for the region. That's why they helped to depose of Mohammed Morsi in Egypt. And so to this brave man who risked so much, kudos to you. And I hope he makes more people realize the interconnectedness of the Sudanese and the Palestinian struggle against Western imperialism.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's, that's what the Sudanese thing has to do.

[Kurt Metzger]

So that's a good point. Because people, you know, you really hear UAE come up. I mean, I regularly bring up trash in the Saudis, in Israel and Pakistan, whatever, but uae, it doesn't come up that much unless they're not allowing rainbow flag shirts at the soccer game.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so you can say whatever you want about the Saudis, but I'll tell you this. They know how to make a durable passport. They could withstand plane crashes, building collapses.

[Kurt Metzger]

They don't make passports like that no more.

[Jimmy Dore]

They don't make passports like that anymore. So here's a guy. Here's a guy who spent five years in a foxhole in Da Nang. We thought it'd be funny if we replaced everyone in his apartment complex with Viet Cong. Now let's watch the fun as he goes to pay his rent, my good friend from Milwaukee's hilarious comedy bit. If you're wondering why your favorite athletes remain silent, or worse, published Israeli propaganda, listen to what happened when Dwight Howard tweeted.

[Andrew Cuomo]

He.

[Jimmy Dore]

All he did was tweet free Palestine. Watch what happens.

[Jon Stewart]

So I tweet free Palestine. Less than 10 minutes after I tweet that, I get a call from the commissioner of the NBA.

[Jimmy Dore]

Stop it.

[Jon Stewart]

Agents. People, like, working with my foundation at the time, Texas, you gotta erase this tweet. You gotta take this down. You're gonna get it. I'm like, what did I do that was so bad?

[Jimmy Dore]

Can somebody explain to me?

[Jon Stewart]

Yeah, can somebody explain? You know, and it was just like. Because I went against the grain, I said something that people didn't like, and I, you know, now, not. People didn't like, they didn't like. So now it's like I gotta stand on what I believe and how I feel and not go back on it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Jon Stewart]

And when you're in the league, you be in that place where if I say too much, if I say something, I may not get a job no more.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's that 70 of people that's out the league that got you.

[Jon Stewart]

Gotta hold my tongue.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, well, that's. That's why the whole system is slavery right there. Whole system, slavery. Get paid a lot. You still slave. Watch your mouth, slave. That's everybody. Everybody whose job can be taken away for saying a truthful thing.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep. And you know the problem with saying free Palestine to a Zionist is that they think it means that all the land is now free to take, like, a swag bag.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, thanks, thanks. Don't mind if I do.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm just kidding. They don't say thanks.

[Kurt Metzger]

No thanks. No tip. Yeah. Free passage just sounds like. No. Oh, yeah. It's hours to take.

[Jimmy Dore]

Come see us on tour in Dallas, Austin, Baltimore, Hartford, Connecticut. Syracuse, New York, Atlantic City, Levittown. Co host. And Providence, Rhode Island. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for the link for the cheapest tickets. Doge just found out. Even after that Biden administration had assured us that they were not giving FEMA money to migrants, illegal immigrants. Turns out as the election neared. Cringe. John Pierre assured Americans that no FEMA funds were being diverted to illegals.

[Kurt Metzger]

Lock her up.

[Jimmy Dore]

Today Elon exposed that FEMA is still sending taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants. Just last week having sent $59 million to illegals for luxury hotels. No, I don't care what Elon Musk's motives was to expose that. I want to know that. I want to know that.

[Kurt Metzger]

Show me Hillary's emails. If Russia, if Putin himself personally texts me Hillary's secrets, I want to see that. What his motives are. I'm going to tell everyone.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right. So here's Cringe, cringe. Jean Pereira. So disaster relief. This is a falsehood. Disaster relief funds used on immigrants illegally.

[Kurt Metzger]

In the US the fact is no money is being diverted from responses and.

[Jimmy Dore]

It'S, and it's appropriate that she's wearing a gangster suit from the 30s because she's a gangster. That's the fact. So that's the fact. Well, this is what Doge, this is what Elon Musk says. The Doge team just discovered that FEMA sent $59 million last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal immigrants. Sending this money violated the law and it is in gross insubordination to the President's executive order. That money is meant for American disaster release and instead is relief and is instead being spent on high end hotels for illegal immigrants. A clawback demand will be made today to recoup those funds.

[Kurt Metzger]

I remember that story. I remember us covering, maybe not an exact video, but they were doing a little weasel word thing. They're like, nothing has been allocated for illegal immigrants. Yeah, we know, sweetie. They took the money for American disaster relief and gave it to that. That's all that means.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right?

[Kurt Metzger]

So that's why she's confidently going, no money was set aside for that. We stole it from another thing that was not supposed to be that. That's really what happened.

[Jimmy Dore]

He. So he retweeted Western Lensman and he said, yes, that was a huge lie by the Biden administration. The lie that that way they weren't doing that. Funds were diverted for almost every part of the, from almost every part of the federal government to maximize the number of illegal immigrants in America. There also appear to be significant funds siphoned from Social Security to pay for illegal immigrants.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, that's why they don't want him seeing.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's why they don't want him to see it.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, that's why Social Security. We can't. It's not going to work for too much longer because we've been stealing at.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, so here is a video from Aaron Durham of so When Hunt. So Matt Van Swell says. So when hundreds of people were waiting in lines for propane in western North Carolina so they wouldn't freeze to death. We were sending $59 million to luxury hotels in New York City for illegal immigrants. Make it make sense. And so watch. So here's the. There's the line for people in North Carolina in line to get propane so they don't freeze the dead. That's just for propane. That's the line. Just for propane.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah. This is on purpose. They wanted you. This to happen to you. They wanted this to happen.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is on purpose.

[Kurt Metzger]

Make it make sense. On purpose. They're trying to ruin your lives and destroy you. That's what. What it is. That is to get heat, buddy.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's so they can get heat. Oh, my God. This is the line. No, it's not their house. They're just here to get some.

[Kurt Metzger]

Some heat, buddy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, is it going around? It goes around.

[Kurt Metzger]

It goes around.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, I don't even see the.

[Kurt Metzger]

Yeah, so those Deep State judges could get cute, but when you see something like that, if it comes to blows, those judges ain't the ones are going to win. Look how many people they screwed. You think those people are going to be mad that Trump dismantles the Deep State? They're not.

[Jimmy Dore]

Black people in Chicago are happy about what Trump's doing. Just so you know.

[Kurt Metzger]

Never seen anything like it in my life.

[Jimmy Dore]

Black people in Chicago are happy about it. They're like, you got $50 million for illegal immigrants. I'm a citizen. I've been paying taxes my whole life. Never made. Where's the money for our community? You guys are shutting down schools in our communities. This guy is the at FEMA underscore cam because I want to thank Doge team for making me aware of this. Effective yesterday, these payments have all been suspended from fema. Personnel will be held accountable that proposed Ray proposed community notes. I haven't seen the community note. Oh, they told us FEMA had no money for Americans on Maui, no money for Americans in East Palestine, Ohio, no money for Americans in western North Carolina. But FEMA had an extra $1 billion to spend on illegal immigrants. What? I don't know where he gets that 1 billion money from doubt. But Elon retweets him and says under Biden, FEMA took money away from Americans in need of disaster relief and spent it on five star hotels for illegal immigrants. Pure evil.

[Kurt Metzger]

Well, I mean, is it as evil when they tested an experimental gene therapy bioweapon on you? Mandatory. I mean, what did you expect them to do? They tried to kill you with it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Meanwhile, there's Chuck Schumer screaming about the money that they're cutting from usaid. But not screaming about North Carolina. Zero outrage for that. They've got outrage over there. There she is. Also screaming about the money they're cutting from usaid. Zero outrage for not giving. For fixing California or being ready to fight a fire.

[Kurt Metzger]

The one Somali's boo.

[Jimmy Dore]

I love the people. Yeah, Somalis boo. Her in her own district.

[Kurt Metzger]

Part of the cabal. They're all part of the international cabal. And that's what it is. It's called the Deep State and shadow government.

[Jimmy Dore]

0. 0 outrage for Hawaii and Lahaina.

[Kurt Metzger]

Oh, Maxine Waters, that genius. You hear what she said? He want to use our money to go to Mars, but we want to spend it in DC. What a genius.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Kurt Metzger]

She thinks he wants spending it on Mars.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is really happening.

[Kurt Metzger]

Hey, there's only morons and senile people running your party entirely. And then the Republicans that like you, they're also senile. Is that dawning on anyone yet? I think it has because of how badly Kamala lost that election. But yeah, no, the Deep State is going to try to. They're going to try to hook their claws in and stay. So I hope there's. I hope Trump came in with extra plans. I really do.
