Jimmy Dore
Hey, come see me on tour. I'll be in Levittown, New York, June 26th and 27th and Chicago September 18th to 20th. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. Establishment media sucks. August lighting, so good luck.
Donald Trump
Bullshit.
Jimmy Dore
We can't afford fomenting this. Watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on.
Donald Trump
It's the chimmy door.
Jimmy Dore
Trump admitted today the real reason why he ended the war. And it's what exactly. What we've been saying here at this show is that Trump doesn't have any cards to play, that Iran actually has all the cards to play because we found out how important the Strait of Hormuz was and the fact that they can control it whenever they feel like it. So here he is admitting it.
Donald Trump
I'm going to get bad press. I know that now. If I did the opposite, if I went out and continued to bomb them for another four, just bomb the hell out of them. I get bad press on that. No, there's nothing I can do. But what this does is it allows the ships to go. If we, if we keep bombing, those ships won't be going. And you're talking about 500, 600, $700 million a day. It's a lot of money. A lot of money. That's why the world is okay, it's liquid, it's fine. Also, we run out of reserves in about four weeks. You know, there are reserves all over the world. We would really run out and there'll be a time when you wouldn't be able to get it. And you want to see bedlam. So for all those so called geniuses that want to show me how smart they are, ask them why didn't they blow up General Soleimani? Ask that of the general and a couple of other people that I like very much. But boy, are they wrong. Go ahead. So how about you?
Jimmy Dore
So I want to get bad press.
Donald Trump
I know that now.
Jimmy Dore
So what he just admitted there was that Iran held all the cards and that the United States and other people are burning through their reserves of oil. And even the oil company executives were going public saying, hey, if you think gas prices are high now, in a few weeks they're going to spike even higher. Some people were saying $10 a gallon because they're burning through all the reserves of the oil that they had. And so Trump was forced to make a deal with Iran that's very favorable to Iran. That's the real reason. And, and, and so Trump just had do you think they had no idea that this was going to happen?
Misha
I mean, you know, first of all, it's not just their ability to close the Strait of Hormuz, which they did. And of course, once they closed it, the US Then blockaded it entirely, so there's been no oil running through. And their calculation there was by blockading it entirely, by not allowing Iran to pick and choose, okay, China can come through, they're paying us, we're going to choke off the Iranian economy, and they're going to be able. They're going to have to be forced to surrender because they're going to face economic collapse before they cause global economic collapse, and we're forced to surrender. And they miscalculated. It's not just closing a Strait of Hormuz, but also the Iranians demonstrated, from the American and Israeli perspective, a very alarming ability to destroy the energy and gas infrastructure of what we call our Persian Gulf allies, which are Arab dictators that we're in bed with. These countries are not even little, you know, countries. They're tiny little. I mean, I don't know if you've been been there, but like, you go to Doha or to Dubai, these are not countries. These are tiny little gas stations, basically. And Iran demonstrated in a very restrained way their ability to take out Qatari infrastructure, Jordanian infrastructure, Kuwaiti infrastructure, Saudi infrastructure. And had they unleashed the full force of the Iranian military, which they could have and would have done had there been escalation, you're talking about permanent damage to the global economy, well beyond what even the Strait of Hormuz and the closing of it has provided. And the only reason you haven't seen oil prices really spike, like to 150 a barrel or $200 a barrel, is because it's. Trump said, they've been draining the reserve, the oil reserves that are all over the world, and those are running out, and the Iranians were not going to surrender. And so once they got to that point, Trump was petrified of what he was about to unleash on the world. And he was basically forced, I don't want to say into surrendering, but into a posture that is. I can't think of a parallel, at least in my lifetime, where the United States started a war and then was forced to end it on such humiliating terms. Maybe Vietnam, you know, which wasn't really my lifetime, but, you know, shortly before that, you have to go back to Vietnam to have such a humiliating end to a war. And Trump's being very honest there. And I do think that's what happened.
Jimmy Dore
And I'm just glad that he finally, you know, woke up to reality, sobered up, so to speak, and he realized that this is. They don't have any hand, they have no cards. And that if they don't do this, it's going to be devastation economically, not just for the United States, but for the world. Iran knew this, he didn't. He's surrounded by Zionist neocon morons who don't care what happens to the United States because they're Israel first. So they couldn't care less. They only care about Israel. And do you think he's now woken up to that fact that he can't put Israel first anymore?
Misha
I think Trump knows that this war has been a gigantic failure and that it's now hanging around his neck like an albatross. And Trump is not exactly a person known for accepting responsibility for his failures. He books for other people to blame. And the reality is that Benjamin Yahoo. Came to Washington seven times in order to convince Trump to attack Iran. The very last time, they met in a situation room where Trump didn't even sit at the head of the table. But Benjamin Netanyahu presented with Mossad on the screen, a presentation to Iran, to Trump, convincing him that this would be like Venezuela, that all you have to do is go in and decapitate the Ayatollah, which they did on the first day, kill a bunch of their top generals and a couple of their nuclear scientists, and then the entire state would collapse. And then you just go in, appoint whoever you want, empower them, and they'll do your bidding, like the Venezuelan government is now at gunpoint doing in the United States. That did not happen. And it was very predictable that it would not happen, because Iran is not Venezuela. Iran is a gigantic country with intense and very valuable natural resources. And they've been preparing for this for the last 50 years. I mean, ever since the Iranian Revolution, 1979, United States and Europe and Israel have wanted that government gone and wanted to restore the tyranny, the Shah's tyranny, that was a puppet to United States and to. To. To European interests into Israel. And they've been. Everything they do is about planning how not to let that happen. And this is a very. Iranians are very smart, they're very highly educated country, and they're very formidable, and their geography gives them extreme advantages. So once Trump realized that he was sold a con job by Netanyahu and the Mossad and whoever else was in his ear, probably Marco Rubio and a lot of These other advisors, Pete Hep, assuring him that this would be quick and fast. And you go look at what Trump was saying at the beginning, telling the New York Times it's going to be two, three weeks, four weeks at the most. You know, promising everybody this would be done within a month or so. And then when it wasn't, and not only wasn't it, but the Iranians were showing they had far greater capability than anyone led Trump to believe that they had, I think he started looking around and getting angry at Israel and these neocons and these hawks who have led him into this war. And instead of accepting responsibility, he began to blame them. And that's why he's saying some remarkable things about Israel, like, hey, you know, they seem to not value any non Jewish human life. They're like blowing up entire apartment buildings in Lebanon, even though they're filled with innocent people. We should probably let the Al Qaeda guy that we put in charge of Syria go do the job because he would be more careful and precise in his use of violence than the Israelis are. And then saying things like, yeah, of course the Iranians should be able to have ballistic missiles. Everybody has ballistic missiles. Why can't they have ballistic missiles? So you see Trump really desperate to get out of this war, and the Iranians knew he was desperate to get out of this war. And it's their civilization they were defending and their country they were defending, and they didn't play around and they held out for a very good deal.
Jimmy Dore
This is him talking about enriched uranium for energy. Now, that was a, that was one of the things they wanted to make sure they didn't have any uranium, and they couldn't do that. And Iran, as is demanding, as a condition of this peace deal, is that they get to use nuclear power for energy. And so here he is going to say he's going to capitulate. He's going to admit that he's capitulating on that right here. Let's.
Donald Trump
We've been pretty tough on that. You know, it's also, it is a little hard, though, when you say that somebody wants it, other people have it, other adjoining states have it, and you're not letting them have it for purposes of electricity and things like that. It's always a little tough. You have to use a little common sense, please.
Jimmy Dore
So there it is. I mean, again, so Iran, another big win for Iran, another big loss for the Trump administration. And their stated goals there is. They're going to, they're going to be allowed to, they're going to be allowed to have enriched uranium.
Misha
But Jimmy, it feels like. You know what it feels like? It feels like you're living in this insane world where you live under a government that just is completely mad and talking about the world in a completely unhinged way. And then suddenly, for whatever reason, you wake up and something breaks in the matrix. And the president who's leading this war based on these insane ideas suddenly just start sounding so reasonable, like he just, like his eyes opened and he understands everything. Of course the Iranians are entitled to have enriched uranium. There's this convention, this treaty that was signed called the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty in the 70s, which was a response to the concern that every country was going to start to proliferate and acquire nuclear weapons, which is an extremely unsafe world. And everybody was incentivized to create a framework where you would limit the number of states that had nuclear weapons. And the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty was the convention, the global convention that was created to do that. And every country except for India, Pakistan, South Sudan and Israel are signatories to the deal, and the Iranians are signatories. And one of the things that it says was a condition for evil signings was that the idea is that you can't get nuclear weapons, but nothing is ever going to infringe your right to use nuclear energy. So you can enrich uranium. You can use enriched uranium for nuclear energy. Even if you're an oil rich country, you may want to use nuclear energy because the more nuclear energy you use, the less oil you use, which means the more you can sell and generate revenue for your people and for your country. And so the Iranians have the same right of enriched uranium as every other country in the world. And the Iran deal was so perfect from the American perspective because the Iranians agreed to things that no other country in the world agreed to, which is we're going to accept limits on our enriched uranium of 3.67%, which is the maximum you need for enriched for energy. And in order to give you the confidence that we're abiding by that, we're going to allow very invasive inspections and surveillance regime to look at everything that we're doing inside our enrichment facilities. So, you know, we're not enriching toward a nuclear weapon. And had that protocol just remained in place, none of this would have ever happened. But Miriam Adelson and Netanyahu and the whole crew got Trump to nullify that, to withdraw from it in 2017. And now we're right back to a agreement that this time doesn't even provide those safeguards. That just has the Iranians promising them so they won't get nuclear weapons. So when Trump says, of course we can't ban the Iranians from enriching uranium for nuclear purposes, just like in another clip, I don't know if you have it, but I referenced him earlier. The idea was, oh, we're going to also force them to destroy their ballistic.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, here. Here it is. Let me play it for you.
Misha
This is amazing also, what he said.
Senator Ron Johnson
The press conference. You said you don't mind Iran having ballistic missiles. Can you elaborate on that? I want to make sure we understand.
Donald Trump
No, I want to. I'm saying that if other countries have them, it's a little bit unfair for them not to have some. A ballistic missile is not the same thing as what we're talking about. What we're. We talk nuclear, but if Saudi Arabia and Qatar and they all have some, I would say in relative proportion, I think it's okay. That's what I mean.
Jimmy Dore
There it is.
Misha
But, Jimmy, this. This is what I'm saying. I don't know what world I'm living in. I feel like I'm dreaming, and I'm gonna wake up tomorrow, he's gonna be back to be like, this is a terrorist state. We have to bomb the. Out of them and destroy their. Because this is so. This has been the point all along. Ballistic missiles are conventional weapons. That's what they use to bomb Israel when Israel attacks them. They're the deterrence that they use against Israeli aggression. Why is it in the interest of the United States to try and go to war to prevent Iran from having what every other country has with their conventional ballistic missiles? They're not a threat to the United States. Maybe they're a threat to Israel, although they're not really even a threat to Israel if Israel doesn't attack Iran. And then Trump suddenly wakes up, and he's like, why would I go to war to demand that Iran not have ballistic missiles? Everybody has ballistic missiles. And he's like, it's not fair to Iran. You know, we were talking about. Iran is like the devil, you know, for the last decade. And now suddenly he's like, it's really not fair to Iran. And it's true. It's not fair to Iran. It's just shocking to hear it coming out of his mouth.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, but, you know, they. They chant, death to America. They chant, Glenn, can you believe they chant?
Misha
That's scary. It's like. It's like. It's like Dave Rubin, inside the Jubilee Circle.

If you know anything about Syria, the people who are in charge of Syria, just as we predicted at this show in 2017, probably. And, and CNN then called me a conspiracy theorist for it was that if you get rid of Assad in Syria, the people are going to be in charge. Are going to be who? Al Qaeda and isis, because that's, and by the way, they were invented by the United States and Israel to do our dirty work for us. They're on our side. And in fact, the head, head chopper, the chief head chopper from Al Qaeda in Syria has been recently welcomed to the White House by Donald Trump and at Downing street in London. So we're totally, they're now just admitting it won the war.
Guest/Commentator
So they won the war. I'll be, I'll be Vlad Davison of the Atlantic Council will. They won the war. Oh, that makes sense.
Jimmy Dore
So like every war since The World War II, the United States has lost the war on terror. And now we're and, and, but, but there never really was one because that was all a pretext to do the Greater Israel project. Just like 911 was the one event we needed for the United States to go on a killing spree across the Middle east, set it on fire, topple governments in aid of Israel. That's what this all was about. The war on terror is all about Israel and stealing oil. That's all it's ever been about. That's all it's ever, that's what Libya was about. That's what Iraq was about. That's what Syria was about. That's what Yemen is about. It's all about the same thing. Okay, Lebanon. So Donald Trump, is that the one thing that is going to screw up this deal because they want to decouple Iran from Hezbollah, which defends Lebanon from Israel? And so they want to, they want, and so Iran is not allowing a peace deal to happen unless Lebanon is part of it. And, and if Israel attacks Lebanon, Iran's going to attack Israel. And so Donald Trump knows this and he's pissed off about it because he really is desperate for this peace deal to work because the economy, they just about burned through, as we showed you in another segment, he admitted they've burned through all the reserve oil. There's no more reserve oil. It's going to be gone in just a few weeks. And that means gas prices would spike to $10 a gallon and there'll be a global depression. And so he's desperate for a peace deal with Iran and he knows Israel is bent on screwing it up. And so here's his big plan. His big plan to fix Lebanon and Hezbollah is that what, and by the way, what Israel wants to do in Lebanon is ethnically cleanse Lebanon of the Shia Muslims, the same Muslims that are in Iran. So that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to ethnic cleanse them, just like they wanted to. Just like they ethnically cleanse Gaza and the west bank of Palestinians, they're now moving on to Lebanon to do that.
Guest/Commentator
And Donald, Christians too, as well.
Jimmy Dore
And they're slaughtering Christians too. And that's the trick of these Zionists is to get Christians to fight Muslims. So we fight each other and they don't. And the Jews that the Zionists don't have to do any fighting themselves. So that's what this is all about. It's worked like a charm up until now. Now that the head, the chief head chopper from Al Qaeda is actually running Syria, people are starting to wake up a little bit to that and that we, we were right at this show in 2017 when we predicted it. So now here he is being upset that Israel is trying to screw up this peace deal. And listen to what he has his fix for it is, listen to this. What are the expectations for Israel? Can this deal survive if Israel attacks Lebanon? Can this deal survive if Israel attacks Lebanon? Can it. Because Iran has drawn, has said no, we, we, that needs to be part of the deal. Here's what he says it can.
Donald Trump
And you know, I consider that the minor war, the Iran's a big one, but we have that little pin prick out there that constantly rears its head, and that's Hezbollah. And you know, I was very responsible for Syria. And the man that's running Syria now is a person that I put there along with President Erdogan and some others. He's done an amazing job of pulling it together. He's not a boy Scout, but he's done an amazing job of pulling it together. And he is very good with Hezbollah, does not like them. And I'll tell you what, Israel's fighting Hezbollah too long and too many people are being killed. And you don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people in those apartment houses, and they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you. And I suggested to Israel to let Syria take care of Hezbollah, because, to be honest with you, I think they'd do a better job of doing it. And I didn't like Syria. I didn't like where.
Jimmy Dore
So two things there. He's finally saying, yeah, Israel is slaughtering lots of innocent people for no reason. He's saying it. That's big. Syria, do it now. He's saying, let this guy do it.
Guest/Commentator
Let ISIS do it.
Jimmy Dore
So this is the guy that the State Department, the United States, called the head terrorist, Mohammed Al Jawlani. He's now Trump's buddy.
Guest/Commentator
He's got a new name. And Trump is using the wisdom of Shlomo, that means Solomon Jimmy, to have this terrorist be Israel's broom one last time.
Jimmy Dore
So, so, so Trump isn't a friend to Hezbollah. He just doesn't want Israel to be slaughtering innocent people in Lebanon and screw up his peace deal because gas prices are going to go through the roof, and his whole presidency will be seen as the biggest failure in history, which it might already, but. So he wants to have Syria do it because they don't. Then there's no problem with Iran because that's got nothing to do with the United States and that's got nothing to do with Israel. So he wants this guy to go in and do it. They used to have a $10 million reward for his capture, but now that they've overthrown Syria, now he's. They, the United States. Donald Trump brags that he put this guy in charge of Syria, and it's like, hey, we didn't invent Al Qaeda for nothing. We want him to go do our slaughtering for us. And so that's what he just said. So two big things there. He's. He's admitting that Israel is not responding proportionately. They're not going after Hezbollah. They're going to ethnically cleanse Lebanon of the Shia Muslims, and they're slaughtering apartment buildings full of people, which is what they've been doing since October 7th. And just to let you know how real this is, this is back in 20. 2011. That looks like 2012 up there. 2012. Oh, so this is back from 2012. This is from the U.S. department of State. It's from Jake Sullivan at the State Department. He says, see the last item? Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria. Otherwise, things have basically turned out as expected. That is from 2012. The State Department been working with Al Qaeda's on our side in Syria.
Guest/Commentator
All right, let's have some pizza and shut the. Get this thing finished.
Jimmy Dore
So Donald Trump is on camera in front of the world saying, yeah, we're in bed with Al Qaeda. We want Al Qaeda to go in and kill Hezbollah in Lebanon instead of Israel. We're working with Al Qaeda. How do they still have Guantanamo Bay open then? What is that about? How do we still have a war on terror if we're working with the people who we claim are the terrorists? Griddle me. That Batman. So Trump, I was very responsible for Syria. And the man that's running Syria now is a person that I put there along with President Erdogan and some others. He's done an amazing job of pulling it together. He's not a boy scout, but he's done an amazing job of pulling it together. So Jelani now is. Is not a boy scout. He's just a terrorist. Okay. And he's also slaughtering Christians in Syria. Just the Alawites.
Guest/Commentator
Well, that should be a. Sweeten the pot for Israel, right?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that makes Israel happy be slaughtered. So I just thought that was a big piece of news that is not going to be reported. I'm sure the way it's supposed to be reported on the corporate news, on the legacy media, the establishment media, they're not going to report this the way it's supposed. They're not going to go, oh, yeah, by the way, that's Al Qaeda.
Guest/Commentator
John Stewart will go, hey, he said he's not a boy scout. And he'll make, like, a cute face and.
Donald Trump
Yes.
Guest/Commentator
And then show that wanted poster. You don't think Jon Stewart will be on top of it?
Jimmy Dore
I don't think. I think Jon Stewart shits the bed on most of these stories.
Guest/Commentator
When I bring this up to people, they go blank. No one has an answer for me. Every time I talk to someone with moron leanings, you know, yeah. I go, can you explain this to me? And they can't.
Jimmy Dore
They can't explain it.
Guest/Commentator
They go, well, they won the war. I've heard that three times now from shitbag Zionists. Wow, that's a strange attitude you have towards Muslim terrorists that as long as they win, it's cool.
Jimmy Dore
It's cool.
Guest/Commentator
I thought it was precisely the opposite.
Jimmy Dore
Those are the people who supposedly did 9 11. This is the guy, this is the guy who did, they supposedly did 911 that Trump now wants. We're working and by the way, ever since back in 20, 20, 12, we've got now unclassified documents that have been unclassified that show that they know that they've been working with them since at least. So that's, I don't know. That's eight. How many years is that? I can't, I'm not a mad. That's at almost 15 years, almost a decade and a half. On for officially, we've been working with Al Qaeda. For almost two decades now, we've been officially working with Al Qaeda. So what is the war on terror about then? Why is Guantanamo Bay still open? What, we're the terrorists? Like I've been telling people, Israel and the United States are the terrorists. And this just makes it, this just makes it official deal. We're the terrorists. So here is the second thing that's going to screw up the deal. It's basically, it's, it's a different version of the same deal. The deal is that part of the peace deal is Iran has demanded that Israel stop bombing Lebanon and get the hell out of there. Israel's not going to. And Trump keeps swearing at Benjamin Netanyahu, but that's not the same thing as taking away your military support from them, which is what would get Benjamin Netanyahu to stop in Lebanon. But Trump is not going to do that because Trump, for whatever reason, is completely controlled by Israel. Okay. And so here is J.D. vance on CBS and here's what he says the deal is. This is what this is all Iran has to do to get the peace deal.
Misha
You ready?
Jimmy Dore
Here it is. They say they're going to get $24 billion in frozen funds if they hit certain benchmarks. Is that true?
Ed Henry
Well, again, Ed, we're open to a lot of things that are on the table, but that $24 billion just doesn't appear anywhere in any of the texts that we've talked about with the Iranians. What we have said is that we're willing to talk about unfreezing assets, but a much, much bigger deal is unsanctioning their economy so long as they make the long term commitments on the nuclear program. So, you know, again, one of the things these hardliner elements in their country are going to do is make.
Jimmy Dore
So the deal is he's lying. The deal is, yes, they're going to get, they have $24 billion in American banks that was frozen by the United States and they want that money back. So the deal is half of it up front. We want half of that money, $12 billion up front. Plus there's a $300 billion fund to rebuild Iran from all the bombs we did. He's already admitted that they, that, that that's in the deal. But Trump, they're trying to pretend that we're not giving money to them like Barack Obama did. And so they can't admit that, but that is in the deal. And so he just said all they have to do, if you just heard him, what they have to do to get this deal is to commit to not doing a nuclear program, which they've already done time and time again. So he's right there. He said, that's the deal. Wanna hear it again? Let's hear it. I wanna. They say they're gonna get $24 billion in frozen funds if they hit certain benchmarks. Is that true?
Ed Henry
Well, again, Ed, we're open to a lot of things that are on the table, but that $24 billion just doesn't appear anywhere in any of the texts that we've talked about with the Iranians. What we have said is that we're willing to talk about unfreezing assets, but a much, much bigger deal is unsanctioning their economy. So so long as they make the long term commitments on the nuclear program,
Jimmy Dore
so, so all they have. So there he is saying all they have to do is make the long term commitment on their nuclear program, which they've done time and time again. So that means this is the done deal as far as Iran is concerned. That's, that's all that he said they needed. But then here he is, he goes on, is this Fox News or I don't know where this is. Good Morning America. And he moves the goalposts. He now says, listen. Well, let's listen in the agreement.
Ed Henry
But we'll be releasing the text this week. And what everybody will see is that Iran doesn't get a dime of money unless they perform their obligations. And the money that we're talking about is fundamentally sanctions relief. We're not giving them American money. Not a single dollar of American money will come go to Iran.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, but the $24 billion is Iran's money. So you see how he's trying to be clever there and say it's none of our American money. Yeah, it's their own money. That are in American banks. And he's trying to pretend like we're not going, we're not giving them American money. No one said, you're giving them American money.
Ed Henry
Okay, but what we are saying, George, is we're willing to give significant sanctions relief if the Iranians make the kind of long term commitments that are necessary to be a normal country to give up their nuclear weapons program to stop funding terrorist activities all over the Middle East.
Jimmy Dore
And so do you see? He just. So he's saying, stop supporting Hezbollah, stop supporting him. That's what he's. So he just moved the goalposts, which they will never do. So now that's a poison pill. As long as they stopped, if they stopped it. And then America just says, well, there's. They're doing terrorism stuff. Why? Because we said they were. So there is the poison pill.
Ed Henry
Just so you know, the really interesting things.
Jimmy Dore
So on one show he says all they have to do is commit to no nuclear bomb. Another show, oh, they have to commit to like not supporting Hezbollah, not supporting the Palestinians, not supporting the Houthis, not supporting. So that. So now they've just created a poison pill for this deal. But here, let's listen to this guy. And this is what they're talking. This is U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Michael Waltz. He tells Maria Bartiromo that any agreement with Iran will require strict verification measures and said that the Trump administration remains committed to ensuring Iran never obtains a nuclear. But let's listen to what else he says. Ambassador, what do you want to say about this most recent and biggest concern now? That Lebanon could become the spoiler to this broader agreement between the US And Iranian diplomatic efforts. We know that Hezbollah launched projectiles and drone attacks into northern Israel over the weekend. Israel responded with its own strikes in southern Lebanon and Beirut.
Senator Ron Johnson
Where do we stand here?
Michael Waltz
Well, I think two things, Maria. Number one, we will always support Israel's right to defend itself. And Hezbollah continues to attack neighborhoods, schools, to launch rockets indiscriminately into Israel, unlike Israel. But importantly for the.
Jimmy Dore
Let's remember the first thing we did when we attacked Iran was we blew up a girls school. We triple tapped it. We killed all the girls, and then when the ambulance shows up, we killed them. And then when the parents showed up, we killed them
Michael Waltz
first time and again, under, under this president, his leadership, the Lebanese government is sitting down in the room with the Israelis and really taking important steps to finally rid Lebanon of the cancer that is Hezbollah.
Jimmy Dore
So he says, Hezbollah. So Lebanon, the government has to get rid of the cancer that is Hezbollah. You know, Hezbollah has probably 50, 60 seats in their government. Did you know that? Did you know that? It's like one and a. One and a half million people they represent in Lebanon. It's the Shia Muslims. So they're trying to ethnically cleanse Lebanon of the Shia Muslims, which are also Iranian Muslims. They're Shia, correct?
Misha
Correct.
Jimmy Dore
Look that up, Misha. I'm 100% on that. And he calls them a cancer. You mean. I don't know, is it 1.2 million people they represent. They have something like 60 seats in their government. That's the. So that's, that's what this is. He calls them a cancer.
Misha
You mean.
Jimmy Dore
You mean the people of the, of the country. And so that's what they're. They're trying to do. They're trying to ethnically cleanse that. And Israel wants to take over part of Lebanon because it's part of the Greater Israel Project. So you have to call those people a cancer that you have to kill.
Michael Waltz
The Iranians are trying to link the two. We are delinking the two and trying to. And doing everything we can to support Israel's right to defend itself.
Jimmy Dore
But so. And we want to delink the two. Yeah, I know. Because Israel's going to keep wiping out the Shia Muslims in Lebanon. We're trying to delink the two. They want to link them
Michael Waltz
and also move forward with a diplomatic process so that we can hopefully see peace in the region. And, oh, by the way, Syria is an incredibly important component of this as well. And Iran is now out of Syria, too.
Misha
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
You know who's not out of Syria? Israel. Israel now controls a big swath of. Of Syria because that's also part of the Greater Israel Project. And why is Iran out of Syria? Because now Al Qaeda runs it. The. The not Shia Muslims, but the Sunni Muslims. That's why. Because now we got Al Qaeda running Syria, as we said would happen in 20, 2017 on this show, that if they get rid of Assad, Al Qaeda and ISIS are going to take over the country. What to. I always thought that was worse than Assad, but apparently not. They all love it. Now the United States loves ISIS and loves Al Qaeda. Did you know that? Did you know that? So, yeah, now. Oh, look, we got Iran out of Syria. Yeah. And we put in Al Qaeda. Do you see how he leaves that part out? And so does she. And here's. Here's what? Here, now here's Ben Gavir. They're not stopping. He's. He's speaking in Hebrew or. And. But I'll tell you what he says. Our dear Prime Minister, the era of endless rounds of fighting is over. Not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not from Iran. I demand that the Prime Minister allow IDF soldiers to continue defending themselves and the state of Israel. We must continue to demolish homes in southern Lebanon. Homes. So do you remember that that guy said, oh, Lebanon's attacking neighborhoods and home. He just said we have to continue to demolish homes. They want to wipe out the Shia Muslims, ethnically cleanse Lebanon of the Shia Muslims and then take over their land, which is why they're demolishing homes and why they're also spraying their farmland with glyphosate to kill everything. They want to ethnically cleanse Lebanon just like they did Gaza. We must continue to demolish homes in southern Lebanon. We must continue to displace residents in southern Lebanon. They've already displaced like a million people already. We must continue to eliminate Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon. You know, Hezbollah, the people that are defending the Shia Muslims, of course you got to call them terrorists, not Israel. But I think the world now knows that Israel is the cancer. The world now knows that Israel are the terrorists and we support them and we're also the terrorists. Every drone or missile, every projected fired at us. We must respond to an unequivocal. And yes, we must, and yes, respond without delay. So that's, so that's Benjamin. He's getting, he's not going to be allowed, even if he wanted to, to stop bombing Lebanon because everybody, even the, even the quote unquote lefties in Israel want Benjamin Netanyahu to keep bombing Lebanon because they all support the Greater Israel Project. It's a sick society. Israel is a sick, warped, demented society. 80% of the people there think they should be doing more to wipe out the Palestinians. It's a sick, demented society. They've been indoctrinated into this Greater Israel Project. None of them descendants of Abraham, most all of them from Eastern Europe. All these Zionists, they're all, they're all atheists anyway. And, but they say God promised them that land 3,000 years ago anyway. All right, so that's the problem. So there's your problem. There's J.D. vance completely moving the goal posts, poison pilling it. And this is, and these are the people they're not going to stop. We must keep wiping out Shia Muslims in, in Lebanon. That's what that we keep bombing homes. He just said it. He said it. We need to keep bombing homes. And they're spraying all their farmland with poison glyphosate which, which Trump and Bobby Kennedy just gave a shield to Bayer doing to. To our own people. We're poisoning our own people in the United States at the BE and and RFK and Trump just gave them a shield to do so. So speaking of cancer, here's one of the leading cancer researchers in the world every heralded before he started talking about COVID and the link to cancer. I don't know, how do you pronounce his last name? Angus Doglish, he said professor emeritus of Oncology City St George's University of London. He's written over 500 papers that have been submitted and published in medical journals about all things from HIVs linked to cancer, all things related to cancer. And here's what he had to say.
Professor Angus Dalgleish
Evidence on this I'd just like to point out that I have done as you say. I've been in cancer immunotherapy. I've been in cancer immunotherapy for over three decades and I have made big advances in the treatment of cancer with immunotherapy. So this sets the scene that I then I became aware in early 22 of my patients who've been stable for years, mainly melanoma patients. They'd had several different types of immunotherapy and in six weeks I saw six patients relapse with melanoma. They'd been stable for three to 18 years. They felt well, apart from the relapse and being investigative, I asked what was the thing that was common. And the thing that was common is they all received a booster vaccine from their general practitioners. Now, I know that these cancers are totally controlled by the T cell response. So I immediately suspected the T cell response was being perturbated by the cancer. And initial investigations showed that this was likely to be true. However, there was then a paper published by some doctors in Madrid which I quote, the paper is called the evidence of exhausted lymphocytes after the third anti SARS Covid 2 vaccine dose in cancer patients. I mean, this was absolutely staggering that they showed across hundreds of patients that you get this T cell suppression. Hard on the heels of this were then numerous reports that following the booster vaccine, we were getting igg immunoglobulins switching. So you converted the immune system from being aggressive fighting invaders to one of toleration. So therefore the immune system was tolerating the cancer. And this was the reason we've been starting to see it. However, it is important at this stage to say that we Were getting reports after I first reported this of other cancers. And my initial observation that this is all due to T cell suppression started to fade into perspective that other actors were at work with the vaccine, as it were. Colorectal cancer was being reported by my patients, by my fellow surgeons, as reporting as presenting late stage four, not stage one or two, and early in patients in their 20s and 30s and 40s in a way that we have not seen before. And then in my own practice, as I was looking for patients who'd had other cancers, I noticed that they too had had booster vaccines. And I list them in my report. They go from everything from the common cancers, from breast, prostate, et cetera, and all the way through to some really unexpected ones, including glioma and more recently, haematological malignancies. Now, looking at the literature as to why this could be, and I'm involved in two big publications, one's been accepted prior to changes. And this shows that there are remarkable at least a dozen mechanisms where messenger RNA can insert into the DNA and activate oncogenes. And more importantly, especially the long term, they can suppress the suppressor networks, which means if a cancer is starting to evolve, it would normally be maintained, controlled, and this mechanism is being prevented. And the number of people who've shown this is quite enormous. So as an oncologist who I started to see that it's not only my patients now, it's people I know really well who are going, going down with cancer and they're going down more aggressively and the treatment is not working nearly as well. And I'm used to people saying, oh, there's no evidence of cancer's increasing and that there's anything to do with the vaccine. But I can assure you from the patients that I have seen that many have seen a dozen doctors before, not one of them has ever asked the vaccine history. So of course they see no evidence. And my full detailed research into messenger RNA vaccines, and I was on the scientific board of a company claimed to be the messenger RNA vaccine company for five years and left eight years ago. So I know a lot more than the average clinician and myself and others feel that there is no way you can control this technology and it's used for future.
Jimmy Dore
So there he is telling you the mechanism of how the MRNA vaccine suppresses your own body's immune system, your T cells, and it makes it tolerate cancer, which is why people are showing up with what they call turbo cancers. All of a sudden, people in their 20s, 30s and 40s showing up with stage four cancer. And that's what. And so they'll say, oh, there's no such thing as turbo cancer. But of course, again, this is not a quack. This is not a fringe do. These are the leading doctors in the world telling you this? And of course, they're being suppressed and discredited. And now there's been a move to make all the vaccines MRNA based. Have you heard about that?
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, it should concern you. It's being used in veterinary medicine as well. I think that's the whole purpose of this thing. This MRNA platform can be such a profitable platform. You can, you know, bring out a new variety almost overnight. So they really wanted to use this. But as this, you know, oncologist pointed out, he'd been involved in research with mRNA, it never succeeded. It just never worked. They couldn't control it. And so they never used it in cancers, even though that might have pretty promising use right there. No, they wanted to be able to give it to billions of people, and that's exactly what they did. But again, what he's talking about is overwhelming evidence, which isn't proof. Again, they're playing word games. Just like going back to, you know, what our. What our study uncovered. I think most Americans would think the FDA's job was to, again, search for those needs in the haystack, look for unusual things that are cropping up out of their algorithms, you know, safety signals that they could warn doctors about, that they could inform the public about. But that's not what the FDA did. They basically relied on definitive proof. Unless we can definitively prove that this is causing that, we're not. We're not going to warn the American public. Because, Jimmy, we can't create vaccine hesitancy. We certainly don't want to give any reason to the FDA not to approve this. First of all, just general approval, and then for children, and then for really young children, because Biden wanted to mandate this to the military. He couldn't do without approval. So again, if you look at the timeline, that's how I do my investigations. You look at the timeline. This is so obvious and is so outrageous, which is why you hear this passion in my voice. And so it drives me nuts that the media is completely ignoring this. But no, there is overwhelming evidence. It was in Vayers. It's across the board. And the doctor, he didn't show, Dr. Adira, he's the one that wrote the study. Looking at 300 cases showing that plausible mechanism. He's being destroyed. All of a sudden you got these trolls on pub here they call it pub smear. That are going back to research he published 10 years ago and just nitpicking it, which if he wants the research to stand, he's got to respond to all this stuff. They're just tormenting the guy. And that's the other part of that hearing was, okay, here are the plasma mechanisms and here's the corruption of science and scientific research and scientific publication. It's a real problem. We need to return integrity science, which science doesn't have it anymore.
Jimmy Dore
So rfk, that was one of the things he promised that we were going to get back to evidence based science in our medical journals. Now we know that the medical journals are corrupt. Just as corrupt as Dr. Fauci, just as corrupt as Tony Collins, just as corrupt as the news agencies are because they all take the big pharma money. How come that isn't happening?
Senator Ron Johnson
Because he is up against powerful forces. He's being sabotaged and undermined within his own agency. Again, I issued a friendly subpoena in HHS under Biden. We got nothing in response to my 78 letters. Oversight letters. When Bobby came into to HHS, we issued a friendly subpoena to force these actors in the agencies to give us documents. They didn't give us documents. Finally he got so disgusted, no, turn it over. So they dumped 11 million pages on us. That wasn't to be helpful to us. That was to overwhelm us so we couldn't find the needles in the haystack. My staff's just really good. But to this day, I believe Bobby Kennedy is being undermined. Sabotage within, you know, the actors within these agencies. But also with big Pharma, these, these folks are powerful. They know how to destroy people. They know how to destroy people's careers. That's what they're doing. Dr. Al DeHear right now. That's what they do with Dr. McCulloch and Pierre Corey. You know, the people who testified before my hearings, they have their lives upended and their careers destroyed. Fortunately, a lot of them kind of come out on the back end of that and they've rebuilt their careers telling the truth. But again, Bobby Kennedy is up against powerful forces. We all are. The only weapon we have, Jimmy, is we have the truth. And we have to believe the truth has its own power.
Jimmy Dore
How discouraged are you now? Just about government in general. When you see that something as important, as important as our health and a rollout of a novel vaccine is completely lied about, corrupted. And then when you do discover it and you have somebody as powerful as you A sitting senator, one of the most powerful, 50 people in the whole country presenting it, it gets completely ignored. I mean, you have to be, you have to feel depressed a little bit about this. No.
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, I sprang out of the Tea Party movement, so I'm not a fan of government to begin with. I mean, nor were our founders. You know, we need some government but need to be limited. Because if there's a one word definition of government, it's power. As Lord Acton properly pointed out, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. So no, this doesn't surprise me. I would say I'm shocked at the depth and the level of corruption, but no, this just, this doesn't discourage me. This just fires me up, this outrages me. I attended an event for a premiere of the Duty to Disobey. You know, the harm caused to the finest among us, the members of the military. How they had their, you know, the ones that are, I really feel sorry for the ones who potentially died or had the serious adverse events, but the ones who were just discharged, I mean, same thing with firefighters. I mean all these people that were discerning that had skepticism, which by the way is a one word definition of science, is skepticism that refused take the jabs. They lost their careers. Whether it's in the military, firefighters, nurses, doctors. Again, people's lives have been destroyed, not just the adverse events, but pushing up against these powerful forces and they're still in place and they're just as powerful.
Jimmy Dore
I'm very pessimistic that any of this good work is going to come to anything. Do you think that this will come to anything?
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, I'm on your show, okay? It is getting, no, I mean it is getting wider, you know, more widely known. So we, you know, those of us who are doing this, we just have to keep pushing the truth. You know the beauty of it? Just like Bobby Kennedy, you know the story of him getting involved in vaccines, right? Environmental lawyer, giving, giving talks. And these moms would show up with, you know, vaccine injured kids. And I mean he didn't want to touch me with a 10 foot pole because he knew how dangerous it was until one mom showed up on a step with stack full of signs, said, I'm not leaving until you read this. To Bobby Kennedy's credit, he read it and he couldn't close his eyes, he couldn't turn his back. And Jimmy, that's what I'm finding for all the, you know, people who I shouldn't call my daughter was graduated from John Hopkins, you know, absolutely pro vaxxed and she read Dissolving Illusions. Her eyes were opened. So once your eyes are open to this, once you have met the injection or the vaccine injured, you can't turn your back on them. I wasn't going to run for a third term but, but I met Brianne Dressen, I met the injection injured, I hugged people whose man, whose child was killed by these injections. You can't turn your backs on people like that and you can't close your eyes. So that's what we've got going for us. Once people see the truth, unless they have such cognitive distances that just can. And a lot of people are like that, but an awful lot their eyes are open, they're not going to close them.
Jimmy Dore
Jeffrey Sachs wrote an open letter to the Chancellor Mertz of Germany because he's fearing, well, he's fearing a war of Europe. I don't understand what's going on in Europe. It's that again, just like in America, the people don't want this. But the leaders, they all want a war to the point where they're, you know, they're, they're doing austerity and ramping up their war machine so they can get ready for war. Well, here's what he says. He says the past days have brought a dangerous acceleration that should focus every European mind. Both capital and now under sustained. Both capitals, meaning Kiev and Moscow are under sustained attacks. Ukrainian long range drones have struck deep into Moscow, including civilian sites. Russian missiles and drone strikes against Kiev have greatly intensified. Ukrainian drones have crossed into the airspace of the Baltic states, raising the immediate prospect of an incident that could pull Europe directly into war. A horrific Ukrainian strike on a boys school in Lugansk has further eroded what little remains of restraint. And on May 25, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, acting on instructions from President Putin, formally notified the United States Secretary of State that the Russian armed forces are now launching systematic and sustained strikes on facilities and decision making centers in Kiev. And the Russian Foreign Ministry has advised that the United States and other countries ensure the evacuation of their diplomatic personnel and other citizens from the capital of Ukraine. The message is the prologue to a major escalation. And so here's just. He was asked why he wrote this letter and here's his response.
Senator Ron Johnson
Well, I published it because Europe is in a, a very, very distorted and dangerous state of mind gearing up for war with Russia. It's a kind of fervent Russia hatred that is completely irrational and that is completely counter to the historical truths.
Jimmy Dore
Germany, okay, so we won't go there, but so he's saying we're on the precipice of Europe having an all out war with Russia. Do you agree with that? And what would be the ramifications of that?
Jeffrey Sachs
Well, the ramifications of course would be catastrophic. Remember you know, all the war industry after the breakup of the Soviet Union. I think Colin Powell made a statement, you know, I can't build a military based on the threat from Cuba and jihadists. So they needed a new enemy. It became Russia. And that's. I was there by the way, Jimmy, I was, I covered the revolutions in Eastern Europe and I covered the unification of Germany. And there were very clear promises made to Gorbachev not to extend NATO beyond the borders of a unified Germany. I was in the room when Hans Dietrich Genscher made those promises and James Baker made that promise. Well then of course the arms industry, I was a few years ago was in Poland and there's a billboards from Raytheon all over the place. Well, they knew that if they could manufacture an enemy in Russia then all of the Eastern bloc countries would have to reconfigure their military equipment to be NATO compatible. That was billions and billions in profits. And then you had this myth of the unipolar world. We're the only ones who. I'm talking about the American empire. We can do whatever we want. Russia's a failed state, it doesn't matter. And so they did expand NATO which was opposed by Gorbachev, opposed by Yeltsin and of course opposed by Putin. And there is, Sachs references this, but there is historical drama in that Russia was invaded three times through Ukraine, Napoleon, the First World War and the Wehrmacht in the Second World War. And there's actually through WikiLeaks Burns who became the CIA director but before was the ambassador to Moscow that when we can read that memo in the WikiLeaks he said it doesn't matter the political persuasion of anyone within Russia turning Ukraine into a NATO ally is absolutely unacceptable within Russian society. But again we didn't, we didn't read with the hubris. And then of course the financial incentives we baited Putin into the Ukraine. I'm not defending what Putin did, but I'm telling you that he was baited and provoked and there were numerous messages out of Moscow to stop and we didn't. And so the war industry create, you know, Gorbachev wanted to join NATO.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, so did Putin.
Jeffrey Sachs
And so did Putin. That's right, that's right. I mean that's the tragic. And after 9 11, they wanted to Offer all sorts of help because they've had all sorts of, you know, terrorist attacks by Chechen separatists, etc. So that's the tragedy. But we couldn't allow that. We had to. In order to continue this massive infusion of money into the war industry, you had to create an enemy. And so we did. And, and that's, I think that's what they're doing. That's what you're seeing.
Jimmy Dore
And so the Europeans are now just as owned by the war machine as the United States politicians.
Jeffrey Sachs
Well, I would say the Germans in particular, because, you know, they've really ramped up their military. German militarism is not a new phenomenon. And if you, I mean, we didn't even get into the repression against people who speak up for Palestine.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
Jeffrey Sachs
When you have the grandchildren of Nazis running around arresting American Jews who denounce German Jews who denounce the genocide, I mean, that's where we are. And Germany would like to become again, a military powerhouse within Europe, which is not a good idea. And this is a really good way to do it. And that's what we're seeing. So there's been a remilitarization of German society in the last few years. Russia becomes the mechanism by which it's justified.
Jimmy Dore
And this is why Germany didn't put up a bigger stink when the United States blew up Nord Stream Pipeline, even though it did serious damage to their economy and they had to pay much higher rates for energy, was because they could. They wanted to keep Russia as the bad guy, not the United States.
Jeffrey Sachs
So they, you can't, you can't build, you know, or divert state resources to the military unless there's, you can manufacture a threat.
Jimmy Dore
And that's all this is, right? It's just again, I just go back to the mindless, empty headed people that I'm surrounded by in Hollywood who think they're on their side of God and morality because they put a Ukraine flag in their profile. They have no idea what they're actually doing is, is participating in their own demise. Yeah, and they don't.
Jeffrey Sachs
Jimmy, look, they don't even know who they are. Celebrities. You know, having been around a few of them, they, that dividing line between their fictional Persona and their, their self erodes. That's what I found. I mean, I don't like them. I live on the East Coast. I mean, not that Princeton's a great place, but at least I don't have to deal with those types. I have to deal with academics. It might be worse.
Jimmy Dore
Well, I guess fingers crossed, maybe, hopefully we won't have a European war with Russia. Hopefully Trump will sign this ceasefire and we'll come to hopefully all this. Fingers crossed. I don't know.

Host: Jimmy Dore
Guests: Misha, Glenn Greenwald (referenced), Senator Ron Johnson, Professor Angus Dalgleish, Jeffrey Sachs
Date: June 19, 2026
This episode dives deeply into recent geo-political developments between the U.S., Iran, Israel, and the wider Middle East, with a particular focus on former President Trump's public admissions regarding his administration's retreat from war with Iran. The conversation also explores the impact of U.S. foreign policy in Syria, the function of Hezbollah in Lebanon, institutional corruption within the U.S. and Western governments, and a segment on emerging concerns regarding mRNA vaccines and cancer risk, featuring Senator Ron Johnson and Professor Angus Dalgleish. The tone is critical, irreverent, skeptical of establishment narratives, and highly engaged with current events.
[00:33–01:53] Jimmy Dore plays clips of Donald Trump admitting that economic realities — particularly oil passage through the Strait of Hormuz and global oil reserves — forced the U.S. to make a deal with Iran.
[01:54–02:36] Dore highlights that even oil executives said prices would spike, forcing Trump’s hand.
[02:36–04:55] (Misha expands):
[08:47–09:33]
[09:51–12:32]
[00:56, Donald Trump]:
"If we keep bombing, those ships won't be going...you're talking about $500, 600, $700 million a day..."
[04:34, Misha]:
"[Vietnam]...wasn’t really my lifetime, but... you have to go back to Vietnam to have such a humiliating end to a war. And Trump's being very honest there."
[09:15, Donald Trump]:
"Other adjoining states have it, and you're not letting them have it for purposes of electricity...You have to use a little common sense, please."
[13:06, Misha]:
"Why would I go to war to demand that Iran not have ballistic missiles? Everybody has ballistic missiles...It's just shocking to hear it coming out of his mouth."
[18:52, Donald Trump]:
"You don't have to knock down an apartment house every time you're looking for somebody, because there are a lot of people...and they're not all Hezbollah, that I can tell you."
[29:07, Jimmy Dore]:
"So he just moved the goalposts...So now that's a poison pill."
[39:05, Professor Angus Dalgleish]:
"[They] converted the immune system from being aggressive fighting invaders to one of toleration...so the immune system was tolerating the cancer..."
[43:09, Senator Ron Johnson]:
"The FDA did not want to warn the American public. Because, Jimmy, we can't create vaccine hesitancy."
[52:35, Jeffrey Sachs]:
"Europe is in a...dangerous state of mind gearing up for war with Russia. It's a kind of fervent Russia hatred..."
For listeners who want in-depth discussion about U.S. foreign policy blunders, the interplay of Israel and American politics, the shifting rhetoric around Iran, and sharp skepticism toward the official COVID/vaccine narrative, this episode delivers a wide-ranging and provocative critique.
