Nick Fuentes (clip) (3:14)

The suffering and call it out. Turning Point USA makes $80 million per year. $80 million per year. You have millions of follow. You claim to be a Christian. You claim to be America First. You want to do a focus group. You have an obligation to call out what is happening in Israel and who is doing it. You have an obligation with your money, with your organization, your platform, your reach, as a Christian, as an American, to call out that we are supporting evil on behalf of a foreign government. That is the epitome of everything you are against as a patriot, as a Christian. And you defend it. You're not even silent. You defend it. And shame on you. I said that the other day. Charlie Kirk has his daughter running up to him on Fox and Friends and he posts the clip. And that is supposed to be public relations. Look at what a family man I am. Look at me with my daughter. You young Americans need to have kids. And I said this up the other night, but I'll say it again. It's a good thing your daughter was born here. Because if she was born there, if she was born in Beirut, if she was born in Syria, if she was born in Yemen, if she was born in Gaza, if she was born in Baghdad, if she was born in Herbal, if she was born in Iran, she could have gotten caught in the crossfire and gotten exploded into a million pieces by this country that you support for no good reason. So it's a good thing she was born here. Because if she was born in any other one of those countries filled with innocent people that are being murdered wouldn't have gone so hot. And that's not me being a bleeding heart liberal. That's me saying all of this is unnecessary. This is not good for anyone other than Israel. It is not good for the United States. It is not good for the people living there and has gone so far beyond the pale of what is considered reciprocal.

Jimmy Dore (5:21)

Okay, wow. First of all, Nick Fuentes, you know, when he's right, he's right, and he's Right. And I don't mean just right wing. I don't, I don't appreciate the language he's using for Charlie Kirk. I, you know, as a Christian myself, I don't know where that came out of nowhere, but that was really something. When I saw that, I didn't. First of all, maybe they already had a feud. Maybe they don't like. It sounds like they probably already don't like each other, but. Because, you know, Charlie Kirk is a Zionist and Nick Fuentes is the opposite by far of a Zionist and. But it's nice to see. So he's a conservative. Super duper conservative. He's Nick Fuentes super duper conservative, meaning he doesn't even believe in that. If race mixing through marriage. He thinks white people should marry white people and Hispanic people should marry Hispanic people and black people should. And you shouldn't mix it. It's bad for everybody. That's his, that's his view. Okay. I thought we all came from Africa, didn't. Isn't that where humanity originated? I don't know. I'm not a. Whatever the term for is for a person who knows about that stuff. I don't even know the term, but I do, I do know the term, but I can't think of it. Anyway, I thought there was some pretty strong fighting words. And, you know, I know a lot of people are suspicious of Nick Fuentes, right? So Tucker Carlson, Candace Owen, they said he was. I think they said he was a plant C. Maybe he was CIA. Did they say that? Correct me if I'm wrong in the chat, if that, that, that's. I think, I'm pretty sure they said something like that. Like that he was there to, to divide and conquer, to subvert. But I don't, I don't know about that. I know a lot of people like Wuhan in the, in the rumble, Rat says, I trust no influencer that magically comes out of nowhere to. And has a massive following overnight. Well, Nick didn't come out of nowhere. I mean, he's been around for a long time and then he got banned immediately from every platform. So whether you think he's compromised now or what, he certainly wasn't then. He certainly. He got back. He's just recently got let back on Twitter and now he's on some, some platform called Cozy, I think. Have you heard of that? I've never heard of it.

Mike McRae (7:52)

I haven't heard it. Is it. Yeah, I, Yeah, I haven't heard of it either. Is that paleontologist? Paleoanthropologist. That's the term you were thinking about.

Jimmy Dore (8:02)

Oh, okay. Thank you, Mike Papaleo. And that is, that's vat. That's value Added Simpson right there. Yes, it is. Yes, it is. So what is it called? The paleo Homophobe. I don't know. What is it again? Paleoanthropologist.

Mike McRae (8:19)

Paleoanthropologist, yes.

Jimmy Dore (8:21)

Okay. But yeah, Nick Fuentes. You know what, could you do me a favor? I, I, this, this might bother people, but I'd like to hear it again. Sure.

Nick Fuentes (clip) (8:35)

It's only the Republicans that support this. There is no other constituency in the world outside of Israel.

Jimmy Dore (8:41)

Pause. You know, he's right about that. When you think about, like, I didn't ever even thought about. I was like, wow, he's right. There's only. But when he says there's only. He says constituency, he means like voting people or regular civilians. Yeah, I mean, the media still. Right. So the media is still ubiquitous in apologizing. All the powerful in Europe, all the powerful in the uk. So the people in power are still supporting Israel. It's. But he's, he, but there isn't any grassroots constituency that supports Israel outside of the Republican Party. That's. Is that what he's saying? Is that what you hear when, when, when he says that?

Mike McRae (9:19)

Yes, that's what I hear.

Jimmy Dore (9:21)

Okay. I never even thought about it. So there, I mean, but I'm pretty sure the majority of Republicans no longer support Israel's genocide. They might support Israel. Maybe that's what he means also. But again, the Democratic politicians also support Israel. Babe, what was that?

Mike McRae (9:44)

That was Val Timson. Valued added right now.

Jimmy Dore (9:50)

Sounded like one of those old ringers on a bike.

Mike McRae (9:53)

Yes, yes. He was throwing a fit right now.

Jimmy Dore (9:56)

Is that a cat register? An old timey cat? Yes, it is. Yes, it is. What was that?

Mike McRae (10:02)

Mike was throwing the bell around the room.

Jimmy Dore (10:04)

Oh, that's what. That is, the bell. Anyway, so let's. Yeah, so, yeah, that's so. So the Republican Party, there's no other constituent. So when he says Republican, I would do. I wish I had him on the show so I could ask him, do you mean the Republican Party, meaning the, the leaders of the Republican Party? You mean the politicians? Do you mean the people who vote Republican? But anyway, let's keep going.

Mike McRae (10:32)

You know, but I just want to say that it doesn't really matter, you know, it's, it's the military that is in support of this. It does. You know, when is our government in the last 75 years listened to the will of the people.

Jimmy Dore (10:43)

Well, it's not the mil. I don't think the military, I think the military has to do with. The President says, okay, yeah, it's the, it's, it's the Republican President. But it's both, it's, it's bipartisan support of the elect, elected politicians. But no, no doubt even Bernie Sanders, even Bernie Sanders is a cuck when it comes to Israel. So. Okay, let's keep going.

Nick Fuentes (clip) (11:06)

It is the Republicans that support this. Republicans that claim to be Christian, Republicans that claim to be compassionate Christians and America first and they support America's insurfment to Israel as they commit a genocide of women and children.

Jimmy Dore (11:26)

That's not right.

Nick Fuentes (clip) (11:29)

And that hypocrisy needs to be called out. And it's just not good enough. What we're getting Charlie Kirk and your focus group, Fuck you focus group. Why don't you focus on the suffering and call it out?

Jimmy Dore (11:41)

Was. Hey, why don't you focus on this? Right? I got something, I got something for you to focus on right here. Once you focus on this. Okay, keep going.

Nick Fuentes (clip) (11:54)

Turning Point USA makes $80 million per year. $80 million per year. You have millions of followers. You claim to be a Christian, you claim to be America First. You want to do a focus group, you have an obligation to call out what is happening in Israel and who is doing it. You have an obligation with your money, with your organization, your platform, your reach, as a Christian, as an American, to call out that we are supporting evil on behalf of a foreign government. That is the epitome of everything you are against as a patriot, as a Christian. And you defend it. You're not even silent. You defend it and shame on you. I said that the other day. Charlie Kirk has his daughter running up to him on Fox and Friends and he posts the clip and that is supposed to be public relations. Look at what a family man I am. Look at me with my daughter. You young Americans need to have kids. And I said this up the other night, but I'll say it again. It's a good thing your daughter was born here. Because if she was born there, if she was born in Beirut, if she was born in Syria, if she was born in Yemen, if she was born in Gaza, if she was born in Baghdad, if she was born in herbal, if she was born in Iran, she could have gotten caught in the crossfire and gotten exploded into a million pieces by this country that you support for no good reason. So it's a good thing she was born here. Because if she was born in any Other one of those countries filled with innocent people that are being murdered wouldn't have gone so hot.

Jimmy Dore (13:37)

And that's not so. I think what he's saying is, first of all, you know, he does have the gift of oratory, I'll tell you that. And he makes argument. And so what he's saying is the only. Really so. And I'm thinking about it now more, he's calling out Republican voters and people who are backers of the Republican Party who claim they're America first, like Charlie Kirk. He's calling them out. And yeah, I don't think there's, you know, in the polls, I don't think there's any Democrats that support this, but there are Republicans who, but there's no other like voting block anywhere in the world that supports this besides inside the Republican Party. I'm pretty sure that's what he means. And he's calling them out and you know, self described Christians, Charlie Kirk's a big self described Christian. And, and I think it's also a good point where he says, you know, you're not, you're not just quiet about it, you're vocally defending, which is something else. Right. But also at the same time, I'll give props to Charlie Kirk because he brought Dave Smith to his turning point, whatever you call that thing.

Mike McRae (14:40)

Oh, that event. Right.

Jimmy Dore (14:41)

Yeah. He let Dave Smith talk. He let him be. He also brought Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson had a different point of view. So I got to give props to, in a sense to Charlie Kirk for that. I mean, he's doing more than most and, but yeah, good, good on, I would say good on Nick Fuentes for calling out the Republican constituency, as he put it, for saying they're Christian and then being completely anti Christian. And I got your focus group right here. Let's map out this week's amazing destinations and travel tips. Honestly, Will, I didn't plan any trips, but I did switch to T Mobile with their new family freedom offer. That's not the itinerary we're following. Well, I'm departing from ATT and embarking on a new journey with T Mobile. They paid off my family's four phones up to $3200 and gave us four new phones. On the House.

Jimmy Dore (16:13)

Right, so this guy, Matt Miller, right here be the spokesperson for the State Department, meaning he was a propagandist for the government that was funding a genocide in Gaza. And now that he's no longer employed. He was doing. He was doing that job during the Biden administration. And now that he's no longer employed in the government, now he feels because he lied and lied and lied and said it's not a genocide, they're not targeting civilians, they're not targeting hospitals. They're not. But they're doing all that. They're not targeting journalists. They're doing. Israel's doing every horrible war crime you could possibly imagine. They're. They're raping their prisoners. They're anything. They're targeting children, shooting them in the head, shooting them in the groin. And so this guy was the guy who went out and apologized for all that. And he didn't apologize. He pretended it wasn't happening. And so now that he's no longer there, I guess he wants to redeem his soul. And now he's starting to say the truth, that it was actually Israel, that every time they were close to a peace deal, Israel was the one that screwed it up on purpose because the Israel doesn't want a peace deal, just like Israel doesn't want the hostages released because their plan is to take over Gaza and the west bank. Parts of Egypt, Syria, Iran, Iraq. They're not stopping. It's called the Greater Israel Project. Look it up. So, but the point of this story is now that he's not working for the government anymore, he's not. He feels like he could tell the truth. Let's go. Let's go to it.

Mike McRae (17:51)

All right, just go to the clip. Here we go.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (17:54)

Yeah, it's consistent with the pattern we saw for many months. They were always looking for ways to add conditions or make the terms more difficult. It's really our best chance to get a deal. Hamas, for the first time, really was feeling pressure to agree we were really close to a deal. And the prime minister added these new conditions around the Philadelphia quarter and around Netzerim.

Jimmy Dore (18:33)

Oh, so we were really close to a deal. And then it turns out Israel kept moving the goal posts and mucking up the deal because they don't want. So it just I, I guess I'm showing you this because this guy is so disgusting. He, he does look like a vampire and he does look like he, this is evil. And so the whole time he was lying. He knew the truth and he wouldn't tell anybody the truth. He kept lying on the behalf of a genocidal naz. Satanic government that was slaughtering innocent people. And now he's no longer in place. So now he's like, oh, no, I'm going to tell you the truth. Okay, let's go to the next slide.

Mike McRae (19:14)

You know, I just would say, like, step down. You don't believe in these things. You don't support it. Step down from your office.

Jimmy Dore (19:20)

Right.

Mike McRae (19:20)

Former State Department press secretary Matt Miller tries to whitewash his covering up of Israelis Israel's war crimes in Gaza on a podcast. He now admits that yes, they did occur. The very thing he denied for a year as he was an official.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (19:35)

You have this site where Hamas is hiding inside a school. Other militants are hiding inside a school. Those individuals are legitimate targets, but at the same time they're embedded near civilians. Israel has a right to try and target those civilians. Gaza has been such a horrific situation for so long. It's not productive to call on Israel to stand down on anyone. Military tactic, the effect of that war was crushing. Crushing. To look at what was happening to children every day in that war, then.

Jimmy Dore (20:04)

I had to lie. Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Criminal Court can all find compelling evidence of war.

Cindy Friedman (20:13)

Crimes by Israel and the United States.

Jimmy Dore (20:15)

With its enormous powers of intelligence and.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (20:19)

Direct contact with Israel, can't find those. I would say that different organizations have different burdens, different responsibilities, and we take ours very seriously and are taking these assessments very seriously and are. Want to finish?

Jimmy Dore (20:30)

Can I just say, he said, oh, it's crushing. It was crushing to see those children being slaughtered. Wasn't crushed. It wasn't that crushing. Because you put out a happy face and you went out and lied about it. So what, what part of him looks crushed right there? Does any part of him look crushed? He doesn't look crushed at all. Yeah, it was crushing. But then, you know, I just shake it off and go out in the microphone and I would lie to everybody about it and I would, I would run cover for the people slaughtering children. But I was crushed. I was really crushed. What if you were crushed? You wouldn't be able to do that job. You wouldn't be able to lie anymore. You would actually have integrity and character. And you went up to that microphone, you would say, yeah, we should Stop funding this genocide. And I know I'm going to lose my job saying it, but he doesn't. He's evil. All right. Keep going.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (21:18)

As soon as possible. But it's important that we get them right. Gaza has been such a horrific situation for so long.

Rosemary Bottom (21:23)

Don't you.

Jimmy Dore (21:23)

And I've been lying for it. And I've been. It's been such a horrific situation for so long. And I, you know, I like. He acts like he's not part of it. No, dude, you're part of it. You're part of that evil organization that has been systematically genociding the most vulnerable people in the world right now. He acts like it happened. Like he wasn't. He didn't have any responsibility. Of course he did. He could have done something about it. He did it. Keep going.

Rosemary Bottom (21:48)

Something that the State Department should consider launching an intrusted determination on. Given that you also said in your NSM report that it is possible that there may have been violations.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (22:03)

So we do have processes ongoing to look at whether there have been violations.

Mike McRae (22:09)

Violations of international humanitarian laws, whether they've been humanitarian.

Jimmy Dore (22:14)

Really, whether there has been. Okay, I'm not going to speak to.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (22:19)

That in specific, but that's why the President says the answer to that question is uncertain, is because we don't know the answer. To look at what was happening to children every day in that war.

Rosemary Bottom (22:27)

So despite these assessments, you think there is no change in the US Policy to continue providing arms to Israel?

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (22:36)

There is no change in our policy. As you know, we paused one shipment. We have not. But. But we have not changed our overall policy and we will continue to support Israel's security. Gaza has been such a horrific situation for so long. We have always made clear that we are committed to the defense of Israel. We will continue to support the defense of Israel. I think it is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes. He wouldn't have said that at the podium. Yeah, look, because when you're at the podium. Podium, you're not expressing your personal opinion. You're expressing the conclusions of the United States government. The United States government has had not concluded they've committed war crime. Still have not concluded that. But your personal view is they have.

Microsoft Protester (23:13)

Well, so.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (23:14)

And they were.

Jimmy Dore (23:14)

While you were there.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (23:15)

But here's here.

Jimmy Dore (23:16)

Yes, yes. But I'm. No, I wasn't going to say anything and risk my job or risk future employment in the. In this industry. I'm not going to. Yeah, I mean, I knew they were doing it, but it's my job to lie. That's what he said. He's basically just said, yeah, I know they were doing it, but it's not. It's my job to lie because the government gives me a lie to say and then I say the lie. That's my job. What kind of a Cretan is that? I don't understand how these people, honestly, honest to God, I don't know how people like that live with themselves. I really, I hope they have nightmares. I hope they have horrible things that happen to them because of the guilt that they feel. I really do. I can't wish enough bad things on a guy like this. Keep going. Is that it? Is that the end of that video?

Mike McRae (23:59)

Yeah, I think that's the end of that, yes. Let's go to the next thing. A drop site report Former State Department spokesperson Matt Miller recalled Secretary of State Blinken warning Israel's war cabinet early in the war, Israel risked endless insurgency without a plan for Gaza future. Netanyahu reportedly replied, you're right, we are going to be fighting this war for decades to come. A new Channel 13 expose features former US officials admitting Netanyahu repeatedly derailed ceasefire and captive release agreements. They say Washington considered publicly blaming him but feared Hamas would harden its stance if US Israel division appeared up. Key Details US Frustration with Netanyahu Netanyahu Miller said the Biden administration wanted to declare Bibi completely intransigent in transient but held back worrying Hamas would pull away from talks. Sabotage during rafah talks in 20 we.

Jimmy Dore (24:59)

Wanted to say it was Benjamin Netanyahu. We wanted to say it, but we thought then, you know, if we said that then Hamas wouldn't negotiate anyway. That is the craziest Keep going right.

Mike McRae (25:09)

Hamas to accept a six week ceasefire to prevent Israel's Rafah's invasion Netanyahu publicly vowed to attack Rafah whether there was a ceasefire or not, undermining leverage boxing in the prime minister. In May 24, Biden revealed details of a hostage deal hours after Netanyahu signed off, aiming to lock him in. Miller said Israel then leaked claims that Biden's plan didn't match what Netanyahu had agreed the Philadelphia corridor demand. By July 24, Hamas had responded positively to a US brokered proposal. Israel delayed nearly a month, with Netanyahu suddenly demanding troops remain along Gaza's border with Egypt. U.S. officials called this the most damaging shift, killing momentum for a deal waiting for Trump. Hamakor reported another major delay in late 24 when Netanyahu shelved a Shin Bet breakthrough proposal to stall until Donald Trump Returned to the White House. Okay. Fighting for decades. Matt Miller told Hamakor that Blinken early in the war warned Israel's war cabinet without a day after planning they would be stuck in an insurgency in Gaza, instability in the west bank and block the normalization with Arab states. According to Miller, Netanyahu responded, you're right, we are going to be fighting this war for decades. That's the way it's been. That's the way it's going to be. Netanyahu has long claimed Hamas was the sole obstacle in the hostage negotiations. The Channel 13 report shows US officials privately saw the opposite, that Netanyahu repeatedly added new conditions, delaying agreements, even as captives lives were at stake. Omar Manu why is Matt Miller getting second thoughts after the change of administration? Why didn't he raise his voice when he was the spokesperson?

Jimmy Dore (27:00)

Isn't it weird that everybody says, you know, you just read that Netanyahu repeatedly added new conditions, delaying agreements even as captives lives were at stake. Everybody knew this. Everybody. So the U.S. government knew it was Netanyahu stopping the release of the hostages and bring a peace deal. Matt Miller knew that it was Netanyahu. The Israeli people know it's Netanyahu. That's why there were 3 million people in the streets a week ago protesting against Netanyahu's war, which is what they called it, because they know he doesn't want to end this war. A, because if he does, he goes to jail and two, that's never what he wanted. He, he wants to wipe them out. He doesn't care if the, if the hostages die. In fact, he would be happy if they did. Isn't it weird that everybody knows that? The people in Israel know that, the Israel newspapers know that. The United States government knows that. Matt Miller knows that. Drop site knows that. Now we, everybody's known it forever and still it just keeps going on. Because Donald Trump is a cuck to Israel. Donald Trump has no spine whatsoever and he's covering for a pedo ring that, that has blackmailed the Western world. That's what Donald Trump is doing right now.

Mike McRae (28:13)

And I want to know why Miller is now able to say this. What's it for him? Why is it okay for him to say this right now?

Jimmy Dore (28:21)

Because he's trying to distance himself from the evil he did. That's what this is.

Mike McRae (28:27)

All right, this clip might be a little soft.

Jimmy Dore (28:29)

Just so you know, your belief, your position is, or the administration's belief and position is that the destruction that was wrought in Gaza by Israel is what did this. And that your support of what the Israelis did is what brought Hamas.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (28:48)

No, that's not what I, what I meant at all. What I mean was the destruction of Hamas's capabilities. Now, along the way, same time as.

Jimmy Dore (28:55)

There was the destruction of Hamas capabilities, there was also the destruction of huge amounts.

Matt Miller (former State Department spokesperson) (28:59)

But I don't think Hamas cares about the destruction of civilians. I don't think they care about the destruction. We absolutely do. It's why I've been trying to get this ceasefire all along. But I don't think that is a calculation that is as in any meaningful way entered into Hamas's thinking. Especially when you look at the fact that Sinwar himself said that it is the mass loss of civilian life inside Gaza that he thought would strengthen Hamas's position. So, no, I don't think it was the loss of civilian life that has led Hamas to.

Jimmy Dore (29:26)

So do you hear what he's saying? He's saying that it's Hamas that want their own civilians to die. It's Hamas they want, right? Not Benjamin Netanyahu who doesn't give a. About those hostages, doesn't care at all. It's not the Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli government and the IDF, which slaughtered their own citizens on October, was October 7. It was they, they, they killed probably more people than Hamas did in the attack of their own citizens. It's called the Hannibal Directive. We've talked about it on the show. It's just, it's just unbelievable. So that's the kind of garbage Matt Miller was doing. That's the kind of garbage blaming Hamas, covering for genocide, covering for Satanists, covering for the most evil regime on the planet maybe in the history of the world is Israel right now. There's nothing more, there's nothing more evil than what they've done. What they're doing is what maybe is just as evil as guys like Matt Miller who lied for him and they knew they were lying. He knew. And I don't know why that interviewer didn't confront him harder. Like, so you knew the truth and you knew the government wanted to tell, wanted you to tell a lie, so you just told the lie and you covered for genocide or kind of a person does that so nobody will ask him again and he won't go anywhere where someone will ask him that question. And I like what, you know, what Max Blumenthal says is that it's time to confront these people, these people everywhere. And the Western journalists who keep doing the COVID for Netanyahu in Israel. I can't take it. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

Okay, so now the point of this story is that workers at Microsoft are now protesting Microsoft over their support of Israel during this genocide. That's the point of this story. But I'm going to tell you why they're doing it first and then I'll show you a video of them doing it. So you see, Microsoft is storing. If. Go to the first slide. Microsoft is storing Israeli intelligence trove used to attack Palestinians. The tech giant developed a customized version of its cloud platform for Israelis. Unit 8200, which is housing audio files of millions of calls by Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. A joint investigation reveals. But come on, don't worry. I think you look at the guy. You can trust Dr. Evil, can't you? I mean, let me just say, wait one second here. I cannot believe that Bill Gates, who has been to Epstein island more times than I have been to the bathroom with, would be capable of anything like this serious accusation. Okay, let's go to the next slide. The Israeli army's elite cyber warfare unit is using Microsoft's cloud servers to store masses of intelligence on Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza. Information that has been used to plan deadly airstrikes and shape military operations and investigation by Plus972 magazine. Local call and the Guardian can reveal what kind of A name is Plus 972 Magazine. That's what I, that's what I find the most interesting about that. What, what is, what is it?

Mike McRae (33:19)

What does it stand for?

Jimmy Dore (33:21)

I don't know what it stands for. Plus 972. I don't know. I guess we should have again, should have looked into it before the show. And, and by the way, if the, if it doesn't have naked pictures of Jennifer Lawrence, I'm not interested. I don't care what. Anyway, so unit 8200 roughly equivalent in function to the US National Security Agency. The NSA has transferred audio files of millions of calls by Palestinians in the occupied territories onto Microsoft's cloud computing platform, Azure. I think that's how you pronounce it. Azure. Operationalizing. Think about that. That's a real word. Operationalizing. That's a word. Operationalizing. What is like that sounds like a word I would make up. Are you operationalizing it anyway? Operationalizing what is likely one of the world's largest and most intrusive collective collections of surveillance data over a single population. This according to interviews with 11 Microsoft and Israeli intelligence sources, in addition to a cash of leaked internal Microsoft documents obtained by the Guardian. So I guess Azure is like the Palantir of Microsoft. Is that what that is?

Mike McRae (34:48)

By the way, Jimmy, 972 equals the country code for Israel and Palestine.

Jimmy Dore (34:54)

Oh, that's like their. Their area code, I guess.

Mike McRae (34:58)

Their country code they have.

Jimmy Dore (35:00)

Okay, okay, go to the next slide. In a meeting at Microsoft's headquarters in Seattle in late 2021, the then head of Unit 8200, Yosi Sariel, or Sariel, won the support of the tech giant CEO Satya Nadella. Are you kidding me? Satya Nadella, not to be confused with her cousin Satya Nutella, who makes the best crepes. So they won the support of tech giant CEO Satya Nadella to develop a customized and segregated area within Azure that has facilitated the army's mass surveillance project. Really? Are you telling me they. They even have segregation within their own companies? It's. It's really bad over there. Okay, let's go to seven. According to the sources, Sariel Nutella approached Microsoft because the scope of Israel's intelligence on millions of Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza is so vast it cannot be stored on military servers alone? Think about that. And so you're telling me this unbelievable surveillance state that Israel has amassed is somehow was unaware that Hamas was about to attack on October 7th and they couldn't respond for hours and hours? Okay, so what we've been saying since the get go, this was funded by Israel, this was allowed to happen by Israel, and probably encouraged by Israel because they wanted this to happen. All right, let's go. So now here's the protest part. So this is from the Guardian. Microsoft workers occupy headquarters in protest against companies ties to Israel military. By the way, how do you know what. What you are doing is going to overwhelm and ultimately crush you when stuff like this starts happening. But anyway, here's Microsoft workers occupy headquarters in protest against military ties to Israel. So let's go. Dozens of Microsoft employees occupied the company's east campus in Redmond I think it's funny that, like Apple, they call it a campus. And Microsoft, isn't it funny they act like they're at college when they're actually the rulers of the universe and they're the techno feudalists. Anyway, dozens of Microsoft employees occupied the company's east campus in Redmond, West Washington, to protest against what they say is the use of its software by the Israeli military to carry out operations in Gaza. What? I like how they have to. What they say, like, you're not you. Really? The guardian isn't sure on this. What they say isn't that funny?

Rosemary Bottom (37:50)

They say.

Jimmy Dore (37:53)

So. So say what you want. Let's. Let's say what you want about the employees of Microsoft. But these are smart people and they know what they know there's going to be trials coming and they want to be on the other side of it. Now, that's what I'm thinking. That's. That's a. That's a message for the rest of you. By the way, people smarter than you are now bowing out this instant. Okay, go to the next slide. Less than a week after the company said it was launching an independent investigation into the use of its Azure software, current and former staff occupied a space they declared the free zone, holding placards that read joined the Worker Intifada, no Labor for Genocide and martyred Palestinian Children's Plaza. Wow, they're not messing around. And sure, homemade placards against the most sophisticated technology in the world. It's like throwing stones at tanks, but that's nice try. Okay, so here we go. The protest organized by no Azure for Genocide group has demanded Microsoft divest from Israel. Earlier this year, employee Joe Lopez interrupted a speech by CEO Satya Natella. There it is again. Nadella. Is that what by saying Nadella, not to be confused with her other cousin, Sabra, Nadella, who pairs well with pretzel sticks. Anyway, at the annual SO demonstrator Hosam Nasser said on Tuesday that he. That they had decided to escalate their actions because there had been no adequate response from Microsoft. And no, Microsoft is not a nickname for Bill Gates penis. The point is. But of course, this demonstrator said that. He's a terrorist. He's a terrorist. All right, next slide. He felt personally motivated to speak out more vigorously after the Israeli Defense Forces, the idf, carried out the targeted killing of the high profile Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al Sharif, one of the five members of the media who was killed earlier this month in the operation. Of course they killed him. He's a Terrorist. Next slide. This from drop side. Breaking. Microsoft employees and other demonstrators with the no Aur for Apartheid movement are currently occupying the office of company president Brad Smith. Workers say they have reestablished a liberated zone inside Microsoft's Executive Building 34, renaming it the I can't even my obed building in honor of Palestinian software engineer killed in the Israeli in an Israeli strike. Did you ever think you you live to see the day where there is a liberated zone within the offices of Microsoft? I thought for sure they were going to be enslaved the entire time. But look, they got themselves. Okay, let's go to the next slide. Bloomberg reported earlier today that Microsoft has spent the past year trying to crush employee dissent over its ties to Israel war on Gaza, including enlisting the FBI, working with police and censoring internal posts mentioning Gaza. Holy effing f. Wow. So the company has suspended and fired workers who spoke out while employees have continued to stage disruptions from mass emails to sit ins and viral protests. The employee led movement is protesting Microsoft profiting from an and enabling Israelis atrocities in Palestine through its Azure cloud and AI tools. Despite repression, workers say they won't stop. We won't stop to get to the top until Microsoft cuts its ties to the Israeli military. You realize that none of this is on a moral basis. This is just about them saving their ass. They. I don't know. Maybe not. You know what? I'm going to give them compliments. They're doing something. Yeah. According to the organizer's statement, today's action included deploying noisemakers in an atrium. Really? Noisemakers? These people are so disruptive. I like, I, I like the quiet hum of a 2,000 pound bomb. Anyway, they use. No, they use noise makers in the atrium, unfurling banners and delivering a people's court summons to Brad Smith. Their demands include cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to the genocide and for starvation reparations for Palestinians and ending workplace discrimination. Good luck on that. Reparations. Well, let's go to the video. Let's actually check out the video here. Microsoft, you can hide.

Nick Fuentes (clip) (42:47)

We charge you with genocide. We charge you with genocide.

Microsoft Protester (42:52)

We are here today not because we want to be here. It's because we need to be here. Every day, every week are dying. We've lost Anas Al Sharif. We've lost Hossam Shabbat. We've lost Rifat Alarir. Who else can we lose? Who else can we afford to lose in this moment? Brad Smith is the face of human rights at Microsoft. And yet Microsoft, every day continues to abet this genocide. Every Palestinian phone call in the past few years has been stored on Microsoft servers. That is a disgusting grace that is untenable. There is no way to justify that. Every time we have come with these problems, people have dragged their feet. Microsoft has dragged their feet. Satya has dragged his feet.

Jimmy Dore (43:44)

Shame.

Microsoft Protester (43:45)

Brad has dragged his feet.

Jimmy Dore (43:47)

Shame.

Microsoft Protester (43:48)

Has dragged his feet.

Jimmy Dore (43:49)

Shame.

Microsoft Protester (43:51)

Satya met with the head of Unit 8200, and that led to this plan to store Palestinian phone calls on Microsoft servers. What happens as a result is that every phone call is recorded. It is transcribed from Arabic, it is translated and used in targeting for anything that the Israeli military would like to do. That is a shame. Shame we spend any longer waiting around waiting for Microsoft to do what it has to do.

Jimmy Dore (44:36)

That's right.

Microsoft Protester (44:36)

The power is with the people. The people know what is right. The people know that.

Jimmy Dore (44:41)

Can you pause for a second? Can you pause?

Mike McRae (44:45)

It's paused.

Jimmy Dore (44:47)

Can you. Can you. Can you believe that people at Microsoft don't have better audio? Microsoft Teams. What is. This is unbelievable. How bad it is. This is. They're the tech giants, and this is their. They're not. They're not good at live streaming, I'll tell you that. Okay, so there it is. And you know what? What I have to say is, where's their careerism? I fear for the younger generation. This is. This is not a way to get ahead. I'm telling you that. No way to get ahead at Microsoft by doing stuff like this. I also think it's funny that they. If you go back to slides. Go back one. One slide if you can, please, where it says their demands include cutting ties. Yep.

Mike McRae (45:33)

Their demands include cutting ties with Israel, calling for an end to the genocide.

Jimmy Dore (45:36)

Genocide. And for starvation, reparations for Palestinians and ending workplace discrimination. You know, there was that one guy at the meeting who insisted they tag that on the end. Right. Oh, and also, free parking for middle management. How about that? Shut up. Shut up, Walden. All right, so tip of the hat to Microsoft workers. All right? They're doing. I don't want to make fun of them. I did a little bit because of their bad audio, but, you know, they're not professional protesters, so there was. They don't really have the oomph you would like, but I glad. I'm glad they're doing. They're actually risking their jobs to do that. So tip of the hat for those guys doing that when they're doing that inside Microsoft. This. I don't know. Is this the beginning of the end for Israel? Or is this the middle of the end? Or are we close to the end of the end from Israel? I don't know. I don't think the end's not going to come again until. But it doesn't matter because it's the, it's the power class. It's the powerful that don't. Nobody's for this anymore. Right. The whole world is against Israel. The majority of, overwhelming majority of Americans are for it, are against Israel. Even the, even the majority of Republicans are now turned on Israel. So, and I think there's parallel protests that Google and Amazon, that's for user for me, says in the chat. So when, when all the tech. So again, I would like to think that this makes a difference and maybe it does. I think it does make a difference. How big of a difference? I don't know. But again, it's, it's the power. It's the, it's the powerful. Until they feel like it's not worth it for them anymore because apparently Donald Trump and you know, Keir Starmer and all the people in Germany and Ursula Van, they all feel it's still worth it to them. It's still the cost benefit is still in the favor of supporting Israel than standing up against them. So. And until the powerful feel like it's not worth it for them, that the, the cost is greater, the price is greater than what it's worth, this will keep going. So we have to figure out a way to make it like, I really believe that there's a good chance Kamala Harris lost the race over this. Right. So you think she would have, you think other politicians would take note of that? But we'll see what happens. I can't wait for the next election cycle. Tip of the hat to Microsoft workers. Good for you saying something. Stand it up. So guess what? More good private equity news. Private equity is on the move. They're taking over hospitals and you know, private equity, they're the people who took care of the Cracker Barrel logo. They're the ones that make doors fly off of airplanes. Yeah, that's what private equity. They're good. They're the ones that when they take over utilities, they have power outages, rolling blackouts, your rates go up 800% like they did here in California. Now they're taking over hospitals. Play that video. Okay.

Cindy Friedman (48:47)

Steward bought 37 hospitals around the country and more than 450 hospitals nationwide have been taken over by private equity, as well as nursing homes, emergency rooms, doctor's practices and air ambulances. One analysis finds that Private equity investors spent more than $200 billion on health care acquisitions in 2021 alone, and 1 trillion over the past decade.

Jimmy Dore (49:15)

Wow.

Rosemary Bottom (49:15)

It's a real problem.

Cindy Friedman (49:16)

And that problem, says Cindy Friedman, private.

Rosemary Bottom (49:19)

Equity is a complete opposite of the delivery of health care.

Cindy Friedman (49:25)

State Senator Friedman has been trying to rein in private equity in Massachusetts through legislation.

Rosemary Bottom (49:32)

Make money, leave, make it however you want, make it for people who are invested in making money. And then you've got health care, which is all about delivering care to people. The cost is not the first thing. The delivery care is the first thing. And those two things do not mesh.

Cindy Friedman (49:52)

But they are now joined at the hip. Says economist Rosemary Bottom.

Rosemary Bottom (49:56)

We're seeing a rise in financialization and the role of unregulated financial actors in Main street companies because of the deregulation of the financial industry that took place over decades.

Jimmy Dore (50:13)

Wow. So again, if you think that private equity. So again, this is. I know a lot of people don't want to hear this. I'm not an expert on Karl Marx, but I know he did say that, you know, capitalism eventually eats itself, meaning it just, it just keeps buying and acquiring things. And then there's only three companies. So that's where we're at. Basically, in this country, you've got, there's three companies that own everything, BlackRock, Vanguard and Blackstone. And so that's why there's no competition. And the way they make more money is they cut your services. And this is a big problem. You don't want to go to a hospital that's owned by a private equity firm. So they try to figure out, oh, you have eight nurses on staff at the emergency room, let's cut it down to five because we can make more money. You know, you have these kind of, let's cut, they cut everything. And that's why people are frustrated. They're overworked at hospitals. But let's go through this, go through this article.

Mike McRae (51:15)

All right. Common dreams. New Senate report details how private equity devastates hospital systems. Private equity comes in, squeeze the life out of hospitals and doctor's offices and leaves patients and communities in the lurch, says a report from Senator Chris Murphy. A US Senator on Wednesday released a report that detailed how private equity firms have ruined the hospitals in his home state and across the country. Murphy documented what happened when three Connecticut hospitals, Waterbury Hospital, Rockville General and Manchester Memorial, were bought by Prospect Medical Holdings, a private equity backed health care firm. Health care firm, really? Interviews conducted with staff members of these hospitals told a consistent story about how Prospect cut corners in nearly every conceivable aspect and worsened the care patients received at the hospitals.

Jimmy Dore (52:04)

Well, whichever. All I'm going to say is whichever corners you cut, leave the hospital jello alone because it's the only thing edible on that plate, okay?

Mike McRae (52:15)

Ramona, an operating room assistant at Waterbury Hospital cited in the report, explained how Prospect went to extreme lengths to avoid spending money. She explained to Murphy that Prospect at one point stopped paying vendors, which resulted in supplies eventually growing so scarce patients were sometimes left on an operating table while staff scrambled to find the necessary equipment. Staff members eventually started buying supplies themselves, with some even going so far as to buy food for their patients to ensure they did not go hungry. A nurse named Ann Marie, who has worked at Manchester Memorial for over three decades, told Murphy's staff that it was only through the dedication, the staff members, that her hospital was able to continue functioning at all. You know, I'm very fortunate where I work that we still care and. And patients can't believe what a good job we do, despite all the obstacles and hurdles we've been given, she said. We will show up every day and we're committed to our communities. Thankfully, Prospect didn't just skimp on buying supplies for the hospitals, but also on maintaining the buildings themselves. A unit secretary at Waterbury Hospital named Carmen told Murphy's staff of two instances where the ceiling at the building literally fell down. Two years for. Due to two years, years of neglect, we were lucky enough that the patient had already been discharged. Where it fell, it would have missed the stretcher and patient, she said. At the first instance. The other time it fell in the trauma room, it was only on top of the computers. So we called maintenance and they came and fixed it. Putting a little hose where the water is and putting buckets to catch the water. It happened a lot.

Jimmy Dore (54:02)

Well, I got to tell you, I think it's. I think it's important in a trauma room to have ongoing traumas from structural collapse. Right? I mean. I mean, that's what the sign says. It says trauma room. It's like it. Like a neighborhood haunted house on Halloween.

Mike McRae (54:16)

Get used to it. The deterioration of parents care at Waterbury became obvious in 2019, when the report noted that it recorded the highest rates of patient readmission in the state. Things got even worse for the hospitals when Leonard Green and Partners, the private equity firm that at the time owned Prospect, decided to sell the land where the hospitals reside to a real estate investment firm that then leased the land back at high rates. The final blow came when Leonard Green Sold off its stake in Prospect, which the report says left nothing but debt and destruction in in its wake after.

Jimmy Dore (54:56)

The only thing worse than destruction, debt and destruction. Okay.

Mike McRae (55:01)

After Leonard Green's exit, Rockville Hospital was losing so much money, they cut all but emergency and outpatient mental health services without the required state authorization, leaving many patients with no full service hospital nearby. The report stated. Prospect itself filed for bankruptcy earlier this year. And the fate of all three hospitals is now in the hands of a bankruptcy judge in Texas. Murphy's report also emphasized that the story of the private equity stripping hospitals from part is not unique to a state. The story of these three Connecticut hospitals is playing out in health care systems all over the country. Private equity comes in, squeezes the life out of the hospitals and doctors offices and then leaves patients and communities in the lurch. Wall street apes comes in. Private equity firms have found a new target in America hospitals. 460 plus American hospitals are now owned by private equity firms. Just in the last few years, they've already managed to load in an estimated 50 hospitals up with debt, forcing their bankruptcies and closures.

Jimmy Dore (56:06)

So they're doing to hospitals what private equity did to Red Lobster.

Mike McRae (56:11)

Yep.

Jimmy Dore (56:12)

What they did to Bed Bath and Beyond. That's what they're doing. That's what they do. They load them. I don't understand how it works, how you take a thriving, successful company and then you somehow load it up with debt and then bankrupt it and everybody else gets rich, except, you know, the people. There's a handful of private equity people get rich and everybody else gets poorer. And in this situation, nobody gets the health care. 50 hospitals have been bankrupted and closed already. I mean there's, I'm pretty sure our population is increasing. We need more hospitals, not less. But keep going.

Mike McRae (56:45)

Just in the last few years, they've managed to load, okay, bankruptcy and closures. One private equity firm bought a hospital in Pennsylvania just two years after buying Crozier Health. Prospect took out 1.1 billion loan and then sent nearly half of it straight to their investors while Crozier continued to suffer. Okay, so I'm getting it. So they're taking out loans from these businesses. That's ultimately what they're doing. They're taking loans out to bankrupt them. It's fundamentally extractive, even among private equity industry folks. It's controversial way to generate a return on investment because it adds absolutely no value to the company in question. Private equity firms often use leveraged buyouts, loading acquired hospitals with debt to finance purchase. I don't know why? That's not illegal.

Jimmy Dore (57:35)

This, it's not illegal because those people doing that are the ones who bribe the politicians that allow a system that have them be able to do this.

Mike McRae (57:44)

That's why this debt, combined with strategies like sale leaseback deals, selling hospital real estate and leasing it back to the hospital at high rates can strain hospital finances. Here's another example of it. Stewart Healthcare, previously owned by Cerberus Capital Management, sold its real estate to Medical Properties MPT, incurring 350400 million in annual rent contributing to its 2024 bankruptcy. The hospital owned the land. Private equity buys the land and sells it to their own company. Then they lease the land back to the hospital at hundreds of millions of dollars per month. They take out massive loans and pay their private equity executives hundreds of millions of dollars each. The hospital goes bankrupt and closes. Last month the woman arrived at a hospital with her barely breathing baby, only discover the hospital had closed. Why? The hospital owner diverted millions to private equity investors instead of investing in health care. Now patients and workers are paying the price. Daniela Gabor on top of it Apollo, the private equity firm that's been killing Americans in its hospitals, is getting subsidies loans from the American government so it can continue to kill Americans in its hospitals. The company was particularly active in the weeks after Trump launched his trade offensive on Many of the U.S. largest economic partners in early April. Chief executive Mark Rowan in May told investors that Apollo had raised to raise capital and invest as markets slid. A large portion of these inflows came through so called funding agreements in which Apollo's insurance subsidiary Athene, raises capital from federal home loan banks in the U.S. apollo on Tuesday disclosed it had raised 11.7 billion through the arrangement in the second quarter, a record amount for the company.

Jimmy Dore (59:35)

So again, private private equity is not your friend. Private equity is here to hollow out the country while it puts money in their pockets. It's like if the military industrial complex owned your hospitals. So we just did a story. The last video was about private equity buying utilities. And we all know what happens when private equity buys utilities. Your rates go through the roof. You have less power. People have rolling blackouts and traffic lights don't work. Schools lose power. Hospital everybody loses power. And this is what's happening now with the hospitals. And if you think this Congress is going to do anything to curtail it, I think you've got another thing coming because they're all owned by these people. This is the donor class, the people who can, who can bankrupt a hospital and pocket hundreds of millions of dollars doing it. It's the perversion of capitalism. But that's where we're living. That's what, that's is where it ends up. And they say the best medicine is laughter. And if you'd like to get some of that my medicine, come see me in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Chicago, Hamilton, Wisconsin, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky. Or maybe you see me in Hermosa Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. I don't know what it's going to take to stop this private equity takeover of our entire western world because that's what's happening and I don't know how much. I mean, health care in America is already a joke. We already pay 100% more than the rest of the western world for way worse results. So again, Medicare for all get private equity out of hospitals. Hospitals should be nonprofit organizations. This is crazy what's going on. But none of that's going to happen because your government's completely corrupt. I don't mean a little corrupt. I don't mean corrupt like somebody, a congressman gets their kid a job. I mean that they, when they get together at a session of Congress, they're not doing the bidding of workers or students or regular citizens or sick people or the elderly. They're doing the bidding of private equity. They're doing the bidding of the donor class, the billionaires that are bankrupting the hospitals. Bankrupting. Look how they almost bankrupted Bud Light Cracker Barrel. Look what they did. So now doors are flying off of airplanes. That's so we have to stop this. I don't know how to stop it. You would think our politicians would be responsive to their people, but of course they're responsive to their donors. That's what, that's what that. That's the system we live in. They're responsive to their donors. Screw you and your health care. There's a donors that's got to make a couple of billion dollars and then I'm going to get a job working for that donor when I get out of politics. That's what this is all about.
