You can come see me in Irvine this Sunday, October 19th. I'll be at the Improv in Irvine. Then we're going to Australia. Burbank, California, the day after Thanksgiving, Pottstown. And then guess what? We're gonna be January 11th in Waikiki at the Blue Note. See you there. Go to jimmy dore.com for link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
Mike Johnson
Hi, Jimmy. It's Speaker Mike Johnson.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, ha ha. Well, hello, Mr. Johnson. What's on your mind?
Mike Johnson
Well, we are still in the middle of this government shutdown brought to you as usual by your friendly neighborhood Democrats. So my hands are tied here as far as what I can do.
Jimmy Dore
You can bring the Epstein vote to the floor, maybe.
Mike Johnson
Like I said, my hands are tied. And until the Democrat party decides to be the adults in the room, we're not going to be able to see that vote or swear in these new members of Congress.
Jimmy Dore
But you could do both. You could literally. You literally can.
Mike Johnson
Not really. Not really.
Jimmy Dore
Okay.
Mike Johnson
Jimmy, we have bigger concerns than this Epstein, whatever it is. For example, I'd like to stand by my comments regarding the Super Bowl.
Jimmy Dore
What was that? I missed it.
Mike Johnson
Well, it has to do with the NFL's questionable choice for musical act for the super bowl halftime show. As everyone now knows, the NFL went with Bad Bunny. Are you familiar?
Jimmy Dore
No.
Mike Johnson
Well, when I heard Bad Bunny, my First thought was that they meant the little rascal who keeps getting into my wife's spice garden. But no, it turns out it's a Mexican.
Mel K
Ah.
Jimmy Dore
Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican artist, actually. I know that, Jimmy.
Mike Johnson
The point is, he's not American.
Jimmy Dore
Puerto Rico's part of America. You didn't know that?
Mike Johnson
Not really. Really? Let's not quibble here. He doesn't even sing in English, only in Spanish. And this choice was clearly intended to inflame Americans, conservatives and Christians.
Jimmy Dore
How is someone singing in Spanish unchristian?
Mike Johnson
Well, it just is. I mean, how can you effectively praise God if he can't understand what you're saying? Anyway, I was quoted. That's how I was quoted. And I stand by this quote that Mr. Bunny is not the correct choice for the super bowl because there's going to be a lot of young people watching. And I thought a much better choice would be Lee Greenwood or a role model like that.
Jimmy Dore
You thought Lee Greenwood would be a good choice to headline the super bowl halftime show?
Mike Johnson
Okay, well, now you're laughing just like everyone is laughing at me. And I don't understand why. Lee Greenwood is very popular with the young people. Much more so than this Bad Bunny character.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, why do you. This.
Mike Johnson
Lee Greenwood has been a part of many Donald Trump rallies. He's a real MAGA fixture, and everyone goes nuts for him when he appears. Even the young people at Trump rallies.
Jimmy Dore
I see. Okay. When Lee Greenwood has concerts or live musical performances, how many people under 60 are in attendance?
Mike Johnson
Well, I personally wouldn't know that. Those types of events start way too late for me and my wife.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, I guarantee. I guarantee you there are no young people there at all. Meanwhile, Bad Bunny is one of the top three streamed artists in the world, Mr. Speaker.
Mike Johnson
Well, I don't think that's a really fair way to gauge the popularity of a musical artist.
Jimmy Dore
Well, yes, no. Yes, it is. It's the main way, actually. And suggesting Lee Greenwood be the halftime act at a Super bowl may be the most culturally tone deaf thing I've heard a politician say in my lifetime.
Mike Johnson
Well, Lawrence Welk is no longer with us. Honestly, I don't see what other viable choices there are. Okay, My pastor is still undecided about rock and roll music, whether it's of the devil or not. Until that verdict comes in, I'm going to have to say no to those types of songs as well.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I bet you get made fun of a lot for your musical tastes alone. What else do people make fun of before?
Mike Johnson
Oh, Jimmy, the list Just goes on and on. If my colleagues were as intent on drafting legislation as they are on giving me the business for my various eccentricities, we'd get a lot more done around here, I can tell you that. For example, I eat Cream of Wheat and a canned peach half for every meal.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, God, every single meal.
Mike Johnson
I found it regulates the digestion nicely. And that way I don't have to waste time trying to decide what I want for a meal. Yeah, I know what's for lunch. The same thing that's always for lunch. I see my colleagues in the halls, hey, what sounds good? Where do you want to go? And it just strikes me as childish adults just giving into their whims, their desires, what they want. It shows sort of a low character.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, what else?
Mike Johnson
Apparently, the apps one has on their phone can be just knee slappingly hilarious.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, like what? Like what app?
Mike Johnson
Well, I have a lot of apps on my smartphone. I'm a bit of a tech geek, I'll admit. And one slipped on there called Grindr, I think it's pronounced. And one congressman got wind of that, and everybody had a grand old time.
Jimmy Dore
Mr. Speaker, do you know what Grindr is?
Mike Johnson
Well, of course I do. It's an app that tracks homosexuals and alerts you when one of them is in the vicinity so you can avoid them. It's a way to stay away from gay men, apparently. I'm told some people use it in a different way, but they're not using it correctly. I am.
Jimmy Dore
How did your colleagues figure out Grindr was on your phone?
Mike Johnson
Well, I was in a meeting and I forgot to turn my phone off, and it kept going, you know, beeping, and it was Grindr alerts. I guess there were a lot of homosexuals about that day. And someone saw my phone.
Jimmy Dore
Why were you getting alerts, though?
Mike Johnson
Homosexuals were in the vicinity. They were messaging me, telling me where they were, which bathrooms they were in, so that I wouldn't mistakenly go into one of those bathrooms where the gay men were.
Jimmy Dore
I. I see.
Mike Johnson
Yes, technology is very amazing. It has done a lot for me.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, well, then, hey, thanks for taking time to talk to us, Mr. Speaker.
Mike Johnson
My pleasure, Jimmy. Anytime. Oh, and if you talk to any Democrat congressmen, please tell them that we are ready for them to come around so we can get this government working for the American people again. You know what they say. Idle hands are the devil's playground.
Jimmy Dore
Establishment media sucks. August lighting, so good luck Bullshit we can't afford why fomenting this Watch and see. As his jack golf comedian Speeds and jumps the medium and hit some head on. It's the chimmy door show. The beauty of Donald Trump is that he'll often tell you a truth lined as a joke, and that's a gaffe. Well, first of all, you remember when Donald Trump tweeted this out. Sheldon Adelson is looking to give big dollars to Marco Rubio because he feels he can mold him into his perfect little puppet. I agree.
When was this?
That was from October 13, 2015. When Trump was running. When Trump was running against Marco Rubio for the Republican nomination. And he said that Sheldon Adelson was giving all this money to Marco Rubio so he could be his puppet. Well, now Sheldon Adelson is dead, but his widow is still alive and she gave Trump a couple hundred million dollars. So now he's the puppet. Right. First of all, I guess that's the reason why Rubio looks like he just got fisted. But anyway, Trump looks like he just got fisted. So listen to this and we'll talk about it at the end.
Donald Trump
Broken promises from many other American presidents, you know, that they kept promising. I never understood it until I got there. There was a lot of pressure put on these presidents. It was put on me, too, but I didn't yield to the pressure. But every president for decades said, we're going to do it. The difference is I kept my promise and officially recognized the capital of Israel and moved the American embassy to Jerusalem.
Jimmy Dore
He's pointing at his donor. He's pointing at Miriam Adelson. Ah. I did it for your money.
Donald Trump
Isn't that right, Miriam?
Mike Johnson
Yeah.
Donald Trump
Look at Miriam. She's back there.
Jimmy Dore
Stand up. Stand up. So this is the President of the United States of Israel describing how he does not want the world to know about his time on the island.
I hope that's what it is, Jimmy. I hope he's not just protecting Israel. He didn't even engage in that. Because that's worse.
Because that would be worse. It's for money. Here we go.
Donald Trump
Miriam and Sheldon would come into the office, they'd call me. It called me. I think. I think they had more trips to the White House than anybody else. I can't think of. Look at her sitting there so innocently. She got 60 billion in the bank. 60 billion. And she loves. And she. I think she's saying no more. And she loves Israel, but she loves it. And they would come in and her husband was a very aggressive man, but I loved him. He was a very aggressive, very supportive of me. And he'd call up, can I Come over and see you. I say, sheldon, I'm the President of the United States. It doesn't work that way. He'd come in window. But they were very responsible for so much, including getting me thinking about Golan Heights, which is probably one of the greatest things to ever happen.
Jimmy Dore
So there he is. Admitted he did the go, gave the Golan Heights to Israel because of his donors. That's who runs your foreign policy, ladies and gentlemen, wealthy Jewish donors.
Donald Trump
Miriam, stand up, please. She really is. I mean, she loves this country.
Jimmy Dore
And by this country, he means she loves this country.
Donald Trump
Her and her husband are so incredible. We miss him so dearly. But I actually asked her. I'm going to get her in trouble with this. But I actually asked her once, I said, so, Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel? She refused to answer. That means that might mean Israel, I must say.
Mike Johnson
Whoa.
Jimmy Dore
Whoa, wait a minute.
Violating so many rules set forth by the adl.
First of all, that's anti Semitic. To say that someone has a loyalty and loves Israel more than their own country. That is legit anti Semitism as we understand it. But what I think with Donald Trump, you know how Trump has a sneaky way of giving compliments while letting the cat out of the bag at the same time and revealing who the real manipulators are? I think that's what he's doing there.
Really?
Yeah, yeah. You can say he's crass and unsophisticated, but if you say he's stupid, that's only because you're stupid, because that's what that sounds like. And by the way, what does crass mean?
It means you blurt out the truth like an.
Yeah, so that's what it means. He's saying his own, his top donor, Miriam Adelson, loves Israel more than the United States. Now wait, Jimmy, let me just point.
Out in that documentary about BB Not a juhu, Bilbo, not a juhu. She's disgusted by the Netanyahu's corruption. Miriam Adelson, you could see her being interviewed by authorities and she is aghast at how corrupt the Netanyahu are. That bitch.
So this comes directly from the ihra, which is the International Holocaust remembrance association, accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide than to the interest of their own nations. That is considered anti Semitic.
And Glenn Greenwood, Jonathan Pollard, the spy.
Glenn Greenwood, he points this out. One irony of Trump's strong insinuation today about Mariam Adelson that she loves Israel more than the United States is a statement that is prohibited and subject to punishment as anti Semitism under the expanded IHRA hate speech rules that Trump forced American universities to adopt. Isn't that wild?
Yeah, I get why she's like that. Why is Mike Johnson like that?
Here is right, so here is from the ihra, which is the International Holocaust Remembrance Association. This is the list of stuff they say is antisemitic. Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools and workplace and the religious fair could, taking into account the overall context, could include but are not limited to calling for aiding or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion. So that means if you side with Palestinians, that is anti Semitic even though Palestinians Palestinians are legit Semites making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective such as especially but not exclusively the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media. It's getting harder and harder to say that's anti Semitic when a Zionist Jew just bought TikTok and 1/6 of all the media in the United States.
I know Barry Weiss is not that good of a journalist that she would be put in charge of cbs. I met her personally, I've spoken to her. Doesn't seem like somebody who would be put seems like a silly rich girl. And I'm being charitable to say that.
You can't say that the a world Jewish conspiracy or Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other society institutions. Well they it certainly the Israel lobby controls our government. They brag about it. They brag that they win Every. They win 96% of the elections. They brag about it. What do you. So so people are seeing through this, right? So that's why calling someone an anti Semite doesn't have any sting anymore. People wear it as a badge of honor accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group or even for acts committed by non Jews. Denying because of us. Because what?
Because Hamas, you know you can kill all the Palestinian kids because of Hamas. Right. It's unfortunate. It's just war, right?
So yeah. So when they say real or imagined wrongdoing, like all those videos coming out of Gaza, they were just the imagination of a cell phone. So was it pretty safe to assume that it's illegal to accuse them of anything they are actually doing? Because nobody puts this much work into stopping a lie that's never happened all through history.
Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.
That's right. Here's another one. Denying the fact scope mechanisms, for example, gas chambers or intentionally of the genocide of the Jewish people. So you can't deny that they used gas chambers or that there was a genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of the National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II, the Holocaust. So you can't deny the Holocaust in any way, shape or form.
But I should deny others, Right?
But yeah, but you can deny other Holocausts, like how they denied the Armenian genocide and how they're absolutely do that. How they're denying the genocide right now that they're committing against the Palestinians. That's okay.
Genocide as defined by Jews, which a definition I agree with.
That's right. And the next one is accusing the Jews as a people or Israel as a state of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust. They would never exaggerate. I mean, everything they're saying is lies and contradictory, but they would never exaggerate about the Holocaust. That's.
I'm sure the early Zionists didn't have a plan to sacrifice any of their own people, because they don't do that now.
Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide than to the interests of their own nation. That's what Trump just did.
I'm accusing Larry Ellison of that right now on your show, Jimmy.
Okay.
I mean, he clearly is doing that.
He's clearly. Out loud, he says, they say, they admit this. The reason why they had to take over TikTok was so they could control the narrative for Israel and Zionism.
Because that works.
Again, this is all backfiring. They're so bad at this PR thing.
So piece of advice. Try being more pushy about it.
Yeah, try being more pushy. Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation. So they're saying they're holding Israel to a higher. So you can't hold Israel to a higher standard.
They're chosen even though they're chosen people, whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean at this point. Don't hold them to a chosen standard.
No, I don't. I don't hold a double standard, Kurt. I, of course also oppose the terrible Canadian genocide as well, where those treacherous Canucks are wiping out American jobs for comedy writers on sitcoms.
I condemn America. So, no, I'm not double standard. I've never voted or believed in democracy here.
And here's the final things that they say are anti Semitism using the symbols and images associated with classic anti Semitism like claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel to characterize Israel or Israelis.
Well, they are blowing up them churches now though. I mean, hey, the Jesus thing I can forgive because that was the whole plan that he dies. But this part, we have blown up Christian churches. It's weird to hear none of the Christians Zionists talking about it. They only talk about like Uganda, but they don't mention the Orthodox Christians being blown the fuck up in Syria and Israel.
I there isn't. Kurt, there isn't a GPS that could draw you a straighter line to who is actually guilty than these new regulations. If they were, if they were any less subtle, they could be a sketch on SNL for f sake.
The last one makes me mad because these people assholes telling you, yeah, this.
One holding Jews collectively responsible for actions.
I don't.
Of the state of Jews.
Zionists say that Jews are all Zionists.
That's right.
They're the ones. Nazis and Zionists say they're the same thing. Not me.
That's right. Guess who's. Guess who conflates Zionism with all Jewish people. Zionists and Nazis.
Guess who is in on it together and that you have a coin with a swastika and Zionist shit on the other side. Guess who collaborated.
Wow. So I'll be interested to see what happens to this segment. I'll be going to be interested to see what happens. Let's see, let's see if by the way, I'm not suicidal. I hope everybody in Israel knows that I'm not suicidal. I'm very happy. I'm looking forward to the next 30 years of my life. My father lived an extra 33 years. I'm really looking forward to that. My dad was healthy all the way to the end.
That's unusual for a cop.
Yeah, my dad, he didn't get.
Mel K
He.
Jimmy Dore
Of course he had anger and rage like a. Of a guy who was.
Mike Johnson
Like.
Jimmy Dore
He didn't dirty cop in the dirtiest city.
He was not a dirty. My dad was not a dirty cop. I was. Oh, I was hoping he would take a payoff.
So I was like that.
I'm getting sick and tired of drinking powdered milk over here. Would you take some money? Yeah, he didn't, he wouldn't do it. My dad was a straight arrow in that way. And I don't, I don't, I don't need your. I don't need your sarcasm, Misha. It was just a sarcastic hiccup. Yeah.

From Mount Hood to the bend under your desk, together we can do this. So your book is about taking back America? Well, the subtitle is Restoring power to the People, One citizen at a time. And I wanted to. So, you know, right after Trump was elected the first time, they had the Woman's march. Remember that? Because Trump was so anti women. Remember that? That he was the. Yeah, he was, you know, not that Joe Biden was credibly accused of rape.
Mel K
I know.
Jimmy Dore
And, but not that. But Donald Trump was anti woman. So they had a Woman's March, which was about absolutely nothing. There was no issue they wanted. There was. There was no policy they wanted enacted. There was nothing. It was a big not. And what it was was to show that America is divided. And they're doing it again, Mel. So there's the no Kings, no thrones, no crowns, no kings protests, which is going to be on October 18th. It says millions of us are rising again to show the world America has no kings and the power belonged to the people. And here's the map from their website. That's going to be all the no Kings rallies, which, by the way, funded by George Soros.
Mel K
Yes.
Jimmy Dore
And here's. Here's what they say it is. The no Kings protests are a series of nationwide demonstrations in the United States, primarily organized in 2025, to oppose perceived authoritarian actions by President Donald Trump's second administration. The first major wave occurred on June 14, dubbed no Kings Day and coinciding with Trump's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it's all about. Organizers framed it as a defense of democracy, really. So after the Democrats had no primary, after they sued to get third parties off the ballot, now they're the ones standing up for democracy. Isn't that, isn't that wild? Because they're not for democracy. So, and I just want to show you. And it says a second wave, no Kings 2, which is the one coming up on the 18th, is scheduled for October 18th. Building on the initial momentum amid ongoing government shutdown debates and the criticisms of Trump's policies. Protests emphasize peacefully assembly de escalating training, blah, blah, blah. So. But conservatives have labeled it AstroTurf, top down orchestrated rather than grassroots, which it is.
Mel K
Yes.
Jimmy Dore
Which it is easily. This is not the words. And a bunch of workers got together. There's a bunch of George Soros funded and NGOs and the ACLU, which has turned to complete crap since 2016, and they won't stand up.
Mel K
Arabella Partners, the Tides Funds. I mean, all these funds, they are all funds. But the problem is that most people aren't realizing they want to collapse America from within. The goal is Agenda 2030. That's the whole goal of all of this. These people are being used like they've been used throughout history every single time. They don't know what they're marching for. And you said that about the aclu. But at the same time, a lot of the unions have been fully infiltrated by. Yes, it's really, it's really internationally infiltrated. And they are using their organization apparatuses. I mean, you and I probably pay for a couple of the same unions. Everything that they're, they stand for is ridiculous and against anything, I believe. And at the same time, that's all the unions, particularly the teachers unions, are very infiltrated and they have nothing to do with teaching anymore. They have to do with endless revolution. This is endless revolution. It's a color revolution. And I am, I am fearful because many of us that watch the criminality of invasions and regime change all these years, particularly mine, my, I think the worst of the worst was beyond Iraq, Libya, which we had no business going into. But if you look back to what was going on there, the National Endowment for Democracy, USAID, all these different groups, all these NGOs, a lot of them also open society. Soros were creating a lot of chaos on the ground. The same model they're using here, the same they used everywhere they did regime change. And then next thing you know what is happening is that the CIA and people like Victoria Nuland and you know, Hillary Clinton and other people, they're there kind of manipulating who's going to take over after they depose Gaddafi, who should never have been ousted. But what people don't know is they created enough chaos to do something that Samantha Power and I believe George Soros also, he wrote a document in the 90s called the NATO World Order. And if you read that, it's very scary to think that we think NATO is a defensive force for good. I actually think it's the international bankers military at this point.
Jimmy Dore
You are correct about that.
Mel K
Yeah. But I will tell you that the goal, I believe is to create as much chaos and division, get towards the point of secession of California and a couple other states to call Trump an insurrectionist and a king if he tries to crack down on that. And at the same time they use something to go into those countries called the responsibility to Protect under the United Nations. Responsibility to protect. They can supersede the government of any country, which they did in many, including Libya, because the government is not protecting the people sufficiently to in line with the UN Human Rights Treaty. And they can override the government and go in on an uninvited. This would be naito to override the government and take peace into the hands of themselves. So that is the responsibility to protect. And Samantha Power, who caused much damage to this world in my opinion, was going around promoting this idea. So for me, what I think they want is they want America on fire, so damaged, so down so many riots and to get to a point where there is a vote about the United States being uncontrollable and violent and on the, on the collapse, like cusp of collapse, and then have an international intervention, I can see no other reason to go this route because of course World War 3 is necessary for Agenda 2030. I just think it's been planned for a very long time.
Jimmy Dore
So the thing just. I just want to back up. So I'm, I'm very pro union, but I also agree with you that the unions have been infiltrated and probably a lot of it has to do with the fact that Obama repealed the Smith Mundt act, which means that the United States government, meaning the CIA and the FBI and the NSA are able to propagandize our own country, our own citizens, which was illegal up until Barack Obama repealed the Smith Monk Act. And, and what that means is people don't realize is that they're. So that means the CIA, the FBI, they can infiltrate unions in Americ, they can now infiltrate school boards, they can infiltrate NGOs, they can infiltrate anybody now because it's legal for them to do that kind of stuff and propagandize their own people. And I think that's what this, no kings. These protests are all about. Because they're not about anything. They keep pretending they're standing up for democracy and it's whole. The whole thing is called no kings. As if. Because they keep saying Trump is acting like a king and he's acting like a dictator. Well, right now we have a government shutdown, Mel. And why do we have a government shutdown? Because the Democrats are using their leverage under the Constitution. And so if Trump was actually a dictator and a king, he would just open the government up and do whatever he wants, but he can't because there's actually a system of checks and balances in the United States. We have three co. Equal, separate branches of government. Right? The executive, the legislature, and the judicial. They all separate co equal. So they have. So there are two other bodies of the government checking Donald Trump right now, the court system and the legislature, which, that's why the government is shut down right now. Because in fact, Trump does not have dictatorial powers. He does not have the power of a king. And that's why these, this is all propaganda. I have no problem with people getting a rally to oppose Donald Trump. I have a problem with the lies that they're organized under the fact that Donald Trump is a dictator or Donald Trump is a king. And this marches for absolutely nothing. How about you have a march to end the wars and invest that money back in America. How about you have a march for Medicare for all? Because people are losing their healthcare now under the great big bill and their premiums are about to double. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is screaming about it. The most right wing conservative in the Congress. And so this march is about nothing. This march is about dividing America. And that's how the establishment keeps control. They keep us hating half of the country.
Mel K
Yes. And it's all by design. There's. None of this is new. And, and like you said before, I really think we have to come to terms with what exactly the CIA and the State Department have been doing since the murder of jfk. What we have to realize is that every single thing that has happened since we were forced to accept the Warren Report back then has basically been the people within our government that commit crimes and those that cover them up for them are promoted over and over. The rot is so deep and frankly it is insidious. And as I fully believe that the Patriot act to be completely unconstitutional and now they keep building on it and building on it. But what people don't realize, the Patriot act wasn't written about 9 11. The Patriot act was written actually proposed first under Hillary care and then again under Clinton. And then the worst thing I think probably we can link a lot of this to is the project for New American Century and there are, you know, full world control through military strength mixed with the whole Brzezinski grand chessboard. And here we are. I frankly think, Jimmy, that the American taxpayers are debt of $37 trillion is because the American taxpayers have been lied to, looted and betrayed by our own for decades upon decades. The Wall street and the military industrial complex and the international banks are all the same. The CIA I think was created to protect them under the guise of us. And when his brother John Foster Dulles and and Alan Dulles were the State Department and the CIA, I think it went off the rails. And frankly that is where I think we have the biggest problem is the intelligence agencies that we don't know don't work for us. They work to continue the control of that international banking cartel that is still under immunity to this day.
Jimmy Dore
I agree with everything you say. I just want to give you one more. This is again from the no Kings website. It says in June millions of everyday Americans from every walk of life peacefully took to the streets and declared with one voice no Kings. The world saw. It's almost hilarious. It's the world saw the power of the people and the President Trump's attempt to coronation collapse under the strength of a movement rising against his abuses of power. Well then why do you need another rally if it collapsed already? It already collapsed. But they're still saying he's a king and a dictator. Now he's doubling down, sending militarized agents into our communities, silencing voters and handing billion. How is he silencing voters and hand and handing Bill, let's read the finish reading and handing billionaire giveaways while families struggle. This is being. This is funded by billionaires. This whole thing, I know this is as if, as if billionaires are only on one side of the aisle. They all. They fund both sides of the aisle and then they work together behind the scenes. We all know this. They have a shared agenda. This isn't just politics. It's democracy versus dictatorship versus dictatorship. And together we're choosing democracy. Okay, let's remember there was no democracy. The Democrats haven't Had a real primary since 2012. Right, right. Or I don't know, I mean 2008.
Mel K
Because yeah, I don't even think that. Yeah, I think 2008 things went totally haywire. And also, you know, this whole thing about democracy, we're not a democracy because the founders when they were writing the Federalist Papers obviously said that they would not want a democracy because they wouldn't want 51% to rule over 49% if that 51% were degenerate evil, you know? You know, so we are not a democracy. We also have. Every state has their own constitution as well. And me, the reason I wrote Americans Anonymous, which is actually a recovery book, a 12 step recovery plan, is a. Our country is as sick as its secrets and we need transparency on basically everything that we want to know at this point. And, and more than that, I really believe that local action because we have been infiltrated. See how you put up that map of indivisible and that's all the no kings things and all of that. Yes, that map that is infiltration in local communities all over this country. And it's funded by the same people funding this that are also behind the 17 sustainable development goals, the fourth industrial revolution, the agenda 2030. All the things that we're dealing with on a global scale are in a local communities all over this country. What we really need is the American people to start to have oversight in their own backyards is to start pulling out the NGOs, looking at the no bid contracts, looking at who's coming in, what is sustainable development, where is all of this track and trace surveillance coming from? And like you said before, and this is the most important part is the global public private partnership which of course includes blackrock at the top. Right now, signified by the elevation of, of Larry Fink to the top of the World Economic Forum is that almost every public pension in America, in every state, including the biggest one in California, is invested through BlackRock into the next phase. Well, they're all for the global public infrastructure. They're all for full track and trace surveillance. They're all for basically tokenizing natural resources to the point that we will own nothing and be happy and also not be able to go into nature unless we're allowed. And then they need all of this to build the Skynet. What do they need? A tremendous amount of water and energy on our soil in these giant data centers. So we're all paying for our own demise, whether it's through the United States paying for an entire Cold War on Communism, which has no defined enemy, or a second war on terrorism that has no defined enemy, or the current situation, which is the great reset. And again we paid for the whole Marshall plan, the U.S. taxpayers, the whole euro, the whole creation of the EU. That's all money that was funneled out of U.S. taxpayer dollars through USAID through the Reconstruction funds. And believe me, they want World War III in Europe because they're losing, they're broke, they're losing their power. And the reason we had World War I and World War II, I'm fully convinced is to consolidate power after because the real bankers money comes in the reconstruction after war. So I mean we all have to get together and realize that we should not be fighting another war, let alone another war in England and Europe that is, that is, is really at the end of the day about reconstruction and, and pushing Agenda 2030 so that by 2030 they say well, everything is a disaster. Get your digital id, get on the global public infrastructure because it's impossible to look at Oracle and Palantir and Musk and all of this and not realize they all have deals with the eu, they all have deals with China, they all have deals with Israel, they all have deals with Russia. This is, this is a global public private partnership and international banking war on all of us. So I mean where do you then they have these events that they all pay for so that America doesn't notice.
Jimmy Dore
I, you know, it's, it to me it's so, it's such a red flag. It's so obvious that just like the Women's March in 2016, now these no Kings rallies are about absolute, absolutely nothing. Wouldn't it be great if they were actually hey, let's get corporate money out of our government. Maybe they could have like some kind of legislative agenda, something that they're demanding. They're demanding nothing. They don't want anything anti lobbying.
Mel K
Why not just ban lobbying?
Jimmy Dore
How about that?
Mel K
Legalized bribery. We can all agree on that.
Jimmy Dore
That, we can all agree on that. Yet it's funny that the no Kings rallies and Mark, they don't have not one of those demands. It's not to get corporate money out. It's not to get billionaires out from running our politicians. It's not to curtail lobbyists. It's not nothing there. It's about absolutely nothing.
Mel K
And what a waste.
Jimmy Dore
Except, except splitting up the country. And again I'm all for you got people protesting whoever's in government, I'm all for it, but this is top down funded. This is not grassroots and this is about nothing, because if it was grassroots, they people would have a demand, people would want something and. Yeah, and it's not about that. You're doing great work, Mel. I really appreciate you coming on and talking it. What else did we not get to that? Do you want to talk about anything?
Mel K
Well, I just really want to say that, you know, America is the last stand. You know, they don't. They're not after America, they're after the world. And we have to start talking very seriously about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights when it comes to cyberspace and surveillance, because I am pretty sure that the global public infrastructure that has been built over decades and went like on steroids during the auto pen presidency, I'm pretty sure that that's global. And even if we get back our borders on the, on the realm of the earth, that is not the future. And I really think that we have to start asking questions about where are our boundaries and our national sovereignty when it comes to surveillance in cyberspace. And I've been really digging into that because I don't see any. And they're about to make it mandatory in the EU to have a digital track and trace surveillance ID with biometrics. And then they're not going to let Americans, oddly enough, go into EU without it. Well then are we being forced on the global public infrastructure that Bill Gates and the Rockefellers and the UN built without our knowledge and our consent, like Obama signing us onto Agenda 2030? I just think we have to start asking where is our Constitution and our Bill of Rights when it comes to that? That is really important that people start understanding they can, they can end our country and our sovereignty in cyberspace and we wouldn't even know. It's.
Jimmy Dore
Can you tell people quickly what is Agenda 2030? Where does it come from? What it's about?
Mel K
Okay, well, it was First Agenda 21, but what it really is about is the capturing of all natural resources on planet Earth into the hands of the small group that I call the International Banking Cartel and the global Public Private Partnership, which is the multinational corporations and the multinational law firms that work with them. So the end goal of Agenda 2030 is to have every human being on planet Earth track traced and surveilled from birth to death. But that also includes all natural resources, all animals, all plants, everything. Anthony Russo years ago did an interview with some of the Rockefellers and they talked about it all the way back in the 70s and frankly, everything from globe, the whole global climate, global pandemics, global wars, all of that is pushing an agenda of ending nation states. Essentially, Agenda 2030 is the end of all nation states for a regionalized government of different groups that are above our countries, like Davos, Bilderberg, Council of Foreign Relations, Chatham House. It's all been built, and frankly, what they need is to get everyone locked into the global public infrastructure and then there's no freedom. Freedom. As Oracle's head that is building the skynet in America said, basically, we will all be on our best behavior because everything will be watched. And it is Big Brother on steroids. And it is all about the concentration of wealth in the hands of those that have basically. I mean, a lot of people wonder, did we win the revolution if they infiltrated us through the Federal Reserve? Well, it's that on steroids. And we will not get out of a technocratic, totalitarian, track and trace, surveillance global system if we don't fight it now.
Jimmy Dore
And, you know, I've made the point before that Barack Obama was the perfect person to shield the banks from being broken up after the 2008 crash, because if it was John McCain, people would have risen up and demanded it, but it was Barack Obama. So he silenced the natural constituency that wanted that to happen. And now, now Donald Trump is. His constituency, is completely against the surveillance state, yet he's ushering in more of a surveillance state through Palantir, through his buddy Larry Ellison that you just talked about. The head of oracle wants us surveilled 24.7by AI. And so everybody will be on their best behavior. So would you agree with that assessment that Donald Trump is the perfect person because he'll silence a lot of the natural opposition to the expansion of the surveillance state? Nobody's screaming about it right now, which if Kamala Harris was doing this, they would be, but Donald Trump is doing it, so they. They're silenced.
Mike Johnson
Right?
Mel K
Well, there are a lot of people very, very upset, particularly when he had his meeting and had Zuckerberg on one side and Gates on the other side. And I think a lot of people that really fought, I think, well, in my world, it was less fighting for Donald Trump and more fighting for. I believe that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are already, you know, gone, basically. And I felt that if, if they had one more term, the globalists that control Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and all them, that this country would no longer exist. So I think we have a small window. And it's not about Trump, it's about the people. But as for the surveillance state, it is unacceptable. And frankly, every person in America that is on a public pension, whether it's CalPERS or Florida or New York, your money is going through BlackRock to fund this full track and trace surveillance agenda 2030 because of that. And I really don't understand how there has not been an investigation into the growth from 1988 to now of the power of BlackRock and Vanguard. And as far as America, they are running our country. They were all embedded in the Obama administration, the Trump administration and the auto pen administration. We still don't really know who is running it. But I do know that an international banking group is funding everything from what's happening in America on the ground to what's happening in Ukraine to what's happening in Israel to what's happening in Africa. This is, these are not separate groups. They are an entity that we can see if we look at the different tentacles of it. And the American people should not stand for it in any way. And you can start by questioning your state for having their money be invested in the demise of America through digital surveillance. Which is exactly what but Larry Fink is presiding over at the World Economic Forum.
Jimmy Dore
Mel K. Thanks for coming on. This has been fantastic. You really, you're a real fire brand. I love talking to you. That's the book. It's America. Anonymous by Mel K. Check it out. And we look forward to your next book very much.
Mel K
I will be back. I can't wait. It's going to be eye opening. I think it'll be freeing to everyone. I'm not so sure that that we lost that the Nazis lost World War II.
Jimmy Dore
I agree with you. That's such a great point. That's right.
Mel K
And I think we have to start redefining exactly what that means. And if we do, we might actually be able to free ourselves. Finally. World War II might still be going on.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
I've been here in Washington all week and I've been been at my office, I've been in the Capitol. There's two things I couldn't find this week. I couldn't find anywhere the Epstein files. And also couldn't find the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry that got wiped out in 2015 with Obamacare.
Jimmy Dore
Marjorie Taylor Greene is on a tear. And when I say a tear I mean she's telling the truth and she doesn't care if it hurts her own party. You want to hear some of this? Listen to this.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
And I'm so disgusted with Washington D.C. i hate politics. The two party system is extremely broken. It is failing all of us. And when I look at, you know, here goes another hundred billion dollars to Ukraine or $30 billion to Israel, but yet nobody can afford health insurance premiums. And then I'm getting yelled at by Republican, my Republican colleagues for saying that out loud. I'm like, this. This is insane.
Jimmy Dore
Now you see why she's the craziest woman in Congress. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Realizing that the right and the left are two wings of the same predatory raptor bird. Isn't that amazing? And, you know, sending that money to Ukraine, it doesn't. It helps some of us, just not most of us. It helps the people, the bankers and the military industrial complex, the weapons manufacturers, stuff like that. It helps BlackRock. People like that. It just doesn't help most of us. Just like most things, just like BlackRock, Black Lives Matter. Black rock lives matter. That's it. Black, black.
You get it?
You get it. Here she is holding colada tweets out. Representative just went nuclear on Republicans over the Epstein files. Let's hear what she has to say.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Everyone, everyone that voted for Trump, Vance, everyone was like, release the Epstein files, right? This is not even an argument. It's not even debatable. It's not. It's not being a traitor to the President to sign my name on a Thomas Massie discharge petition to release the Epstein files. No, no, no, no. I'm. I am staying true to what we've always said. There needs to be transparency. But the things that have shocked me this past week, and I was thinking about it this morning, I was like, you know, I've been here in Washington all week and I've been. Been at my office, I've been in the Capitol. There's two things I couldn't find this week. I couldn't find anywhere the Epstein files, and also couldn't find the Republican plan to fix the absolutely destroyed health insurance industry that got wiped out in 2015 with Obamacare. Those are the two things I can't find. And when Republicans. And I'm criticizing also Congress big time. I'm really grateful to a lot of the things the President is doing, but I'm really upset with the direction Congress is going to. But when we are not doing anything to address the cost of living, we aren't doing anything about Blackstone buying up houses where people, most young people can't find a house and they're having to compete in bidding wars, and we're not doing anything about health insurance premiums, then for the love of God, what are we doing?
Jimmy Dore
Boy, what a crazy broad that is, huh? Wow, she is just a woo. A wing nut, huh?
I can't stand her. Jimmy, listen to that crazy shit she said.
Here she is doing what Bernie Sanders and AOC will never do while their party is in power. Criticize their party for not having a.
Mel K
Plan.
Jimmy Dore
For people's health care. No plan, she says. Where's the Republican plan to make health care affordable? Where's the Republican plan to make housing affordable? To stop BlackRock from buying up. And billionaire, by the way, and Chinese billionaires too, from buying up property in the United States to make it unaffordable. And they sit empty, by the way. So the built, the billionaires buy the housing and they sit empty and all it does is drive up the price of housing in the United States. And there's no plan to help make housing affordable for America. None. Where's the plan? Where's the plan to make health care affordable? It's nowhere. In fact, they're doing the exact opposite right now. The government, Trump's administration, is cutting Medicaid and Medicare and subsidies to help people afford health insurance. They're cutting it all. And guess who that affects? It affects maga. And those people are going to feel it. And Marjorie Taylor Greene knows that. They say some people's premiums are going to double next year if they get rid of those subsidies. So why is she the only one saying this stuff? Right? Why isn't Bernie. So Bernie Sanders didn't talk about two things during Joe Biden's presidency. One was the public option, which Joe Biden ran on and Barack Obama ran on. Barack Obama ran on the public option. So did Joe Biden. So that is now 15 years of running on the public option, and nobody mentioned it when he was president the whole time. And Bernie Sanders never mentioned Medicare for all when Joe Biden was president. Never mentioned it at all. And now here's Marjorie Taylor Greene bucking her own party. Someone who I'm told is supposed to be crazy. She's the worst and the worst. And here she is talking about issues that actually matter to Americans. Healthcare costs and housing costs and also the Epstein files that matters to people because that shows you that your government is being blackmailed, that we're actually being run by a group of blackmailed pedos in our government.
I mean, it should be obvious here when almost. So what is it like one vote away from it coming out? They don't want to reopen.
No, they got it. So they did. They're not. So. So Mike Johnson won't bring the Congress into session because Thomas Massie has the extra vote he needed. So now they have a vote. They have the enough members to vote to force the administration to release the Epstein files. And so that's why he won't bring them into session.
Do you see his Grindr messages got leaked.
Yeah.
Mike Johnson.
Yeah, we just did a video about it. We did a. Mike. Mike McCray did a. I just dropped it today. Here's the.
I mean, we don't know if it's real, but, like, what is hard to believe about any part of it?
It's. The headline is the bizarre Mike. Speaker Johnson's bizarre reason for having a gay dating app on his phone. He said it was just so he knew where the homosexuals were and he could stay away from them. That's what he said at our phone call.
Sounds like Mike McCray said it.
Mel K
Jimmy, I don't know if you know the penalty in California. So, like, if you're 30 and you don't have health care, you don't, you.
Jimmy Dore
Know, you didn't pay for it. You have to pay a fine. Yeah. You pay $900 or.
Mel K
And then get this. So let's say I'm.
Jimmy Dore
I have a poor family.
Mel K
Like, I grew up poor.
Jimmy Dore
Our family. I remember when we finally got healthcare and we couldn't believe it. I drank powdered milk till I was in, like, fifth grade at least.
Mel K
And so they said $450 per dependent child under 18 is your fine as well. I mean, that's a lot of money. $450. That's a lot of money. And your kid still doesn't have health care.
Jimmy Dore
How do you better off putting a fake name at the emergency room? Currently for a lot of conditions you're better off not using. Even if you have that shitty insurance with the $40,000 copay, you're probably better off putting a fake name in the emergency room.
Here is Marjorie Taylor Greene saying she's felt more pressure on Epstein petition than any other issue.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
You know, my signature is on that discharge petition.
Jimmy Dore
And so she's. She signed the discharge position petition, Kurt. So there's 200 now. There's. I guess there's enough. What do you need? 218. He's got him. He's got 218 people signing the discharge petition to reveal the Epstein files. And that's why Mike Johnson won't bring Congress back into session, because he doesn't want to have that vote.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
There has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I'm pretty much shocked by it. I can't imagine. I've never understood how this is an issue. I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years old, that's pretty black and white. Seems like everyone should agree that this is the information that should be released.
Jimmy Dore
National security.
Look, she looks like Katy Perry after. After a boost. The Georgia representative, meaning her, is one of only four Republican House members to sign a discharge petition that would force a vote on the full release of the Epstein case files. Green continues to be a staunch backer of the president, but she has repeatedly broken her with her party during his second term on both the Epstein files and foreign policy issues. And now health care, housing, she. And jobs. She has previously stated getting a lot of pushback from the White House over supporting a discharge petition.
Why would that harm Israel at a time when they need help the most?
So you remember those, Remember the pictures of Trump at the, at the. I think it was Clinton's kid's wedding. And they're all like, they're all hanging out with each other. Yeah, they're loving each other. And I thought that was at Trump's wedding. Maybe that was Trump's wedding.
At the end of the day, he's going to protect his class, which includes the Clintons.
I hate to tell Marjorie Taylor Greene, but if you are ever friends with Hillary Clinton, anything anyone ever does from that point on is suspect. Doesn't matter if you're pretending to be enemies now.
So, I mean, maybe you got a secret plan I don't know about, but I don't know about it. So I'm gonna call you out, you know.
So good on Marjorie Taylor Greene. Doing good work. Okay.
By the way, she never said the thing. They wrote that book, Jewish Space Lasers. Never said that. That's not a thing she ever said. Is that amazing? She talked about, like them pseng and she mentioned the Rothschilds, who by the way, are despicable, a despicable family. And so then somebody, they, they pin that on her. This insane smear of a thing she never said.

Episode: Trump Launches Antisemitic Attack Against His Top Jew Donor!
Date: October 15, 2025
Host: Jimmy Dore
Guests/Characters: Mel K, Mike Johnson (impression by Mike McRae), Marjorie Taylor Greene (impression), Donald Trump (impression), et al.
This episode of The Jimmy Dore Show centers on Donald Trump’s recent comments about his top Jewish donor, Miriam Adelson, and explores how these remarks intersect with accusations of antisemitism, influence over U.S. foreign policy, and the broader political hypocrisy surrounding Israel, lobbyists, and establishment politics. In addition, the episode delves into the nature of astroturfed protests (the “No Kings” movement), government surveillance, union co-optation, and bipartisan corruption. The tone is characteristic of Dore’s comedic, irreverent, but seriously oppositional stance.
Jimmy Dore [12:04]: “So there he is. Admitted he did the go, gave the Golan Heights to Israel because of his donors. That's who runs your foreign policy, ladies and gentlemen, wealthy Jewish donors.”
Jimmy Dore [12:58]: “First of all, that's anti Semitic. To say that someone has a loyalty and loves Israel more than their own country. That is legit anti Semitism as we understand it. But what I think with Donald Trump, you know how Trump has a sneaky way of giving compliments while letting the cat out of the bag at the same time and revealing who the real manipulators are? I think that's what he's doing there.”
[14:27] Citing Glenn Greenwald: “One irony of Trump's strong insinuation today about Mariam Adelson that she loves Israel more than the United States is a statement that is prohibited and subject to punishment as anti Semitism under the expanded IHRA hate speech rules that Trump forced American universities to adopt.”
Jimmy Dore [16:24]: “It certainly the Israel lobby controls our government. They brag about it. They brag that they win... 96% of the elections. They brag about it.”
Co-host [18:11]: “But yeah, you can deny other Holocausts, like how they denied the Armenian genocide and how they're absolutely do that... how they're denying the genocide right now that they're committing against the Palestinians. That's okay.”
On Grindr and Congressional Absurdity
On Protest Astroturfing
On "Jewish Space Lasers" Smear
Donald Trump’s open acknowledgment of donor power and “dual loyalty” in U.S. foreign policy, specifically regarding Israel and the Adelsons, sparks a wide-ranging conversation about antisemitism, hypocrisy in establishment definitions, the meaninglessness of astroturfed protests, and the unchecked power of global banks and surveillance capitalism. Marjorie Taylor Greene is held up—ironically—as an accidental voice of reason for her willingness to criticize her own party, especially on issues like housing and health care, making pointed contrast with the silence of progressive Democrats. Dore and guests ultimately argue that both wings of the political class are complicit in maintaining a corrupt, undemocratic system, while public energy is diffused by meaningless, top-down activism.
For listeners: This episode offers a provocative, irreverent, and comprehensive critique of politics, media, money, and protest in America, with a blend of humor and seriousness that is uniquely Jimmy Dore’s style.
