Kurt Metzger (2:14)

Because they are without evidence. Just like I would say the drone parade is the evidence.

Jimmy Dore (2:19)

Yeah, I think that would be your evidence. The fact that there's a parade of drones over New Jersey and the military is not doing a fucking thing about it.

Kurt Metzger (2:28)

He made a Chris Christie hamburger joke. Is that what they meant by without evidence? You saw that? The picture of Chris Christie getting McDonald's by drone.

Jimmy Dore (2:38)

They posted while officials in New York and New Jersey, the focus of much of the frenzy, are frantically looking for answers. Hey, what? What did both the invading aliens and Orson Welles have in common?

Kurt Metzger (2:52)

What?

Jimmy Dore (2:53)

They both knew that if you're going to attack Earth, start with New Jersey.

Kurt Metzger (2:58)

Yeah, that's true.

Jimmy Dore (2:59)

At least back in 1938, you could pretty much start a stampede with a radio play. Of course now it's a real life video game to most guys and they just start going pew, pew, pew, pew, pew. Out of their backyard with live ammunition.

Kurt Metzger (3:13)

Well, somebody has to. The drones are taking over our skies. Jimmy, by the way, that big story that never happened, the Orson Welles panic. A couple people called the sheriff's office to ask if it was real and the sheriff said no, and they went about their business. The papers.

Jimmy Dore (3:27)

The papers made it into it because.

Kurt Metzger (3:29)

They didn't like radio.

Jimmy Dore (3:30)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (3:31)

Competition of the time.

Jimmy Dore (3:33)

That's so what. So like when you see the New York Times writing a hit piece on rumble or YouTube, it's the same thing. Back then they were trying to scare people away from radio.

Kurt Metzger (3:41)

The newspapers misinformation could panic you.

Jimmy Dore (3:44)

Yeah, I mean the average male in a New Jersey suburbs better armed than the. Than an invading alien anyway.

Kurt Metzger (3:52)

No, it's not like Texas with guns in Jersey. I'm from there. Texas and Tennessee. Oh, in Oak Ridge. That's where my friend lives. It's all. It's up and down the eastern seaboard. It's not just Jersey. I don't know why they just say Jersey all over Oak Ridge and Nashville.

Jimmy Dore (4:09)

So dozens of witnesses reported seeing drones in New Jersey in November and this month, including the residential areas, but also narrow military research and manufacturing facility. Get a load of that. Over railway stations and above one of Trump's golf courses. Since the reports proliferated online, more and more unidentified flying objects, also known as UFOs, have been spotted across the country. Across the country, as Kurt just said, drone sightings have been reported at a US military base in Germany. It's a worldwide alien invasion, so they don't know where it is. So watch this. There's so many things in the sky right now. All the ones over here. There's two behind here. There's two over there. Yeah, look. Oh my God. Look up in the sky. Something that it's flying in has lights on it. We must be under alien invasion. I mean, that technology to put lights on flying objects is at least hundreds of years in the future, am I right?

Kurt Metzger (5:18)

I mean, that's a lame one. There's better looking ones. The point is they're all different. So Scott has footage and he'll tell you about it because I'm seeing people go, these look like Ezekiel's wheel from the Book of Ezekiel. Like, you think they couldn't build that? Like they might have read Ezekiel as well and made a drone that looks like it.

Jimmy Dore (5:43)

Come on, Kurt. That's how the aliens blend in. By looking exactly like airliners flying into airports. Anyway, here's the people in Congress are going nuts. Watch this Chair recognize gentleman from Texas, Mr. Gonzalez. Thank you, Chairman. And you know, sometimes I feel like.

Kurt Metzger (5:59)

I'm in the twilight zone up here.

Jimmy Dore (6:01)

You're telling me we don't know what the hell these drones are in New Jersey are? So they said he's talking to guys from the FBI and they're telling cogs we don't know what these are.

Kurt Metzger (6:12)

Why is the FBI the ones handling.

Jimmy Dore (6:14)

Why wouldn't you call somebody at the faa? Why would you call somebody in the military? But here they are.

Representative (6:19)

Correct?

Jimmy Dore (6:21)

That's right. It's crazy. I mean, that's what. See, that's right. They don't know what they are.

Kurt Metzger (6:26)

You know what this is? It's drone. You weary sixth. They're allowing the drones to take a tour. And we're supposed to pretend it's a drone attack and an insurrection of drones.

Senator (6:38)

Crazy.

Jimmy Dore (6:38)

That's madness. That we don't know what these drones are or the Bureau is actively investigating. We don't know what these drones are. The same way we don't know who's on the Epstein flight list.

Kurt Metzger (6:50)

Also, you do know what they are. You just said they are drones. So you know what they are. Where did they come from is what you mean.

Jimmy Dore (6:56)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (6:57)

Well, I don't understand why you wouldn't.

Jimmy Dore (6:59)

Just shoot them down. Why wouldn't you shoot them down? Right? It's a foreign entity, right? Oh, I guess it's not foreign.

Kurt Metzger (7:09)

Some. Some. A little creepy. All people I know that know a guy. You know that knows a guy. Especially when people know Rogan. I heard three different stories of what it is, of why it's our thing. And I really don't care which one it is to me, like the very that we have to sit here wondering. Should tell you what a despicable place you live in.

Jimmy Dore (7:27)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (7:27)

That's insane. That's crazier than aliens. The fact that you have to J.J. abrams mystery box.

Jimmy Dore (7:33)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (7:34)

Watching Lost and it goes nowhere. That's what this shit is mentioned.

Jimmy Dore (7:38)

Just the unexplained sighting of drone activity over that part of New Jersey. We do not attribute that to an individual or a group yet we're investigating, but I don't have an answer of who's responsible for that of one or more people that are responsible for those drone flights. But we're actively investigating. So aware of those drone sightings that have been reported at this time we have no evidence. So this is the Pentagon spokesperson that.

Representative (8:12)

These activities are coming from a foreign entity or the work of an adversary.

Jimmy Dore (8:16)

She looks awful young to be. I mean maybe that's just because I'm all cast.

Kurt Metzger (8:21)

They're all cast, you know they're cast.

Jimmy Dore (8:24)

Yes. Representative Jeff Van Drew, who is a Republican from New Jersey was just on the air saying that Iran launched a mothership prime probably about a month ago that contains these drones and that that mother Iran lost a mother Iran.

Kurt Metzger (8:40)

I told you Mr. Farrakhan warned us the mothership would come to America.

Jimmy Dore (8:45)

The ship is off the coast of the east coast of the United States. Is there any truth to that? There is not, no. But there is truth to the fact that we do. We are trying to start a war with Iran at the behest of Israel and Benjamin Netanyahu. And this might. This. We're testing this out to see if this is good enough of a reason. It doesn't look like it.

Kurt Metzger (9:05)

Is there any truth that is called project you beam.

Jimmy Dore (9:08)

Honest to God. How old is this woman? Is she. She looks like she's 19 years old. Maybe that's just because I'm old now and everybody looks young to me.

Kurt Metzger (9:16)

That's a kid. Does everybody.

Jimmy Dore (9:18)

She looks like she just got out of college. Maybe I'm wrong, but shouldn't there be somebody expert here giving me. Here we go.

Representative (9:25)

Truth to that? There is no Iranian ship off the.

Jimmy Dore (9:27)

Coast of the United States and there's.

Representative (9:29)

No so called mothership launching drones towards the United States.

Jimmy Dore (9:33)

You know what I like about I smells to make. I can't. I'm not just talking about what people are wearing. If they're women.

Kurt Metzger (9:40)

Yeah.

Jimmy Dore (9:41)

So I. She's 36. Well, she looks fantastic.

Kurt Metzger (9:44)

She must moisturize because she must moisturize.

Jimmy Dore (9:48)

She's 36.

Kurt Metzger (9:50)

Yeah.

Jimmy Dore (9:51)

Okay.

Kurt Metzger (9:51)

So very young to be in charge of international.36 is to me a child. If you're doing this job, what do you like? That's very young. Okay, like that CEO got killed. Only 50. That's weird.

Jimmy Dore (10:03)

That's what I thought too. But anyway, states is the public at risk? Is public safety at risk? Are we concerned that there are nefarious intentions that could cause either national security or a public safety incident that would put Americans at risk. There is nothing that is known that would lead me to say that, but we just don't know.

Kurt Metzger (10:26)

And that's the.

Jimmy Dore (10:26)

Concerning.

Reporter (10:27)

What's the White House message to the people out there who are frustrated that there isn't any information out?

Jimmy Dore (10:32)

And obviously we hear them and we understand that. We are closely tracking this.

Senator (10:36)

We are.

Jimmy Dore (10:37)

We're closely tracking it, but we do. But we didn't send an Air Force F15 up to take a look at it again.

Kurt Metzger (10:45)

If you flew a drone, Jimmy Dore over Oak Ridge, the military base over there, or all the military that you would be shot down.

Jimmy Dore (10:50)

We shot. That's right.

Kurt Metzger (10:52)

And they would say something, ordering the.

Jimmy Dore (10:55)

Incidents that have been put forward and certainly made public.

Kurt Metzger (11:01)

And we have.

Jimmy Dore (11:01)

You know, the fact that she can't ever look up when she's answering a question. When someone.

Kurt Metzger (11:06)

I just was thinking that, I go, she's. You could see. She's like, is this almost over?

Jimmy Dore (11:11)

When someone can't look you in the eye, isn't that usually a sign that they're lying? Of course. She's always lying. I get that. And it's not just her. It's, you know, that's what respect agencies that I've already mentioned that are looking.

Representative (11:26)

Into this, working closely with folks on.

Jimmy Dore (11:28)

The ground, trying to get to the bottom of it.

Reporter (11:30)

I don't have anything more to share.

Jimmy Dore (11:32)

Beyond trying to get to the bottom of it. I don't need them working closely with people on the ground. That's the part that's the problem. They're not on the ground.

Kurt Metzger (11:38)

Are they closely working with people on the ground who would ask a question like that or ask for that as an answer to anything?

Jimmy Dore (11:45)

Are they working closely with people on the ground?

Kurt Metzger (11:48)

The sky people? You're not too high and mighty with your sky friends. The ground people, you look. What the fuck are you talking about?

Jimmy Dore (11:55)

So here is. This is a senator. I forget what. Let's watch. I'm sure his name will come up, but this is a senator, and he's kind of pissed off. Watch this.

Senator (12:03)

You know, this started as some questions, and now it's reached a point of almost insanity. You think about a United States.

Jimmy Dore (12:09)

So senator, he's from New Jersey. Oh, this is the senator from New Jersey, John Bramnick. And he's saying it's reached to the point of insanity. Wow.

Senator (12:19)

You know, this started as some questions, and now it's reached a point of almost insanity. You think about a United States Senator who has to go out with the local police to look for drones. That's where United States Senator is getting information. We had a briefing from the state police, the Colonel and the state police. He was frustrated. He had no idea where these drones are coming from. Not only did I call for a limited state of emergency and the FAA shutting down the airspace for drones, but also having the Department of Defense come in and answer questions. If the Department of Defense doesn't know where the origins are for these so called drones, then we're in trouble. We always thought that if there was something in the air the size of a car that the Department of Defense would know where it came from, what its origin was and what its purpose was. Now you have a United States Senator going out with the local police. What to look at for fireworks at night. That is scary.

Representative (13:06)

It is terrifying. Caitlin just reported the President elect Trump is calling for government transparency, which you are as well. He's saying maybe shoot them down if we don't get any more information. What is your reaction to that?

Jimmy Dore (13:15)

How about shoot them down first? Yeah, why would it, why would you not shoot them down? If the military doesn't know what it is, the state police doesn't know what it is, the FBI doesn't know what it is, but there's these car sized things flying around, you shoot them down.

Kurt Metzger (13:33)

They'Re safer than black teens around authority.

Jimmy Dore (13:36)

Right? No kidding.

Senator (13:39)

I would leave that up to the Department of Defense. But how can the Department of Defense not provide information to the public?

Jimmy Dore (13:44)

Look at Trump. Mystery drone sightings all over the country. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge? I don't think so. So that's the former President of the United States, the incoming President of the United States, the top of the executive brass saying that the government knows what's going on. Guess who else is saying that? I'm fucking saying that. I'm saying that too. Somebody inside the government knows.

Kurt Metzger (14:06)

Who on this earth? There's only two possibilities I see for anybody is I either don't care about the drones at all, or obviously they know what it is and they're just not going to tell you. Who would actually sit there and go, no, they don't know.

Jimmy Dore (14:20)

Is this some kind of like this is the next version of Russiagate to try to undermine the Trump administration in some way. Sixth drone, you weary. Sixth. See, even aliens are upset about Trump. You want aliens to invade elect Trump? Here we go.

Senator (14:36)

This is a shock to me. You know, I have a general belief in government, but this is taking me to the end of my belief that government is really being honest. Now, there's been some apparently top secret secret briefings, right. With congresspeople. Now they come out of that. And I heard Josh gottheimer come at the representative and he said, well, I'm not getting a lot of information, but I don't think it's a threat. So my guess is there is information, but they're holding it back. And now what you have is panic. Originally, some questions, now you have serious, serious concerns. And at the next point, somebody's going to do something stupid. So the Department of Defense has to come clean with the American public.

Representative (15:07)

So to your point, the FBI says they have no evidence of malicious activity or intent in these drone flights. What is it that they might not be telling us and why?

Jimmy Dore (15:13)

Hold on, hold on, hold on. So they said there's, there's no. How do they know what the intent is? Again, they're just making shit up.

Kurt Metzger (15:24)

Do you remember the Iranian drone that we sprayed jet fuel or spray jet on our drone?

Jimmy Dore (15:29)

Yes.

Kurt Metzger (15:30)

And the big deal, that was about one drone.

Jimmy Dore (15:32)

Yeah.

Kurt Metzger (15:33)

Like, and that drone that, that Trump didn't go to war over, which they were mad at him for in Iran. That's one drone. The skies are flooded over military bases with drones. So if that's a foreign entity, you would think they would be losing their mind like it was a Chinese balloon.

Jimmy Dore (15:49)

That's right.

Senator (15:51)

Well, no evidence that this is a threat. What does that mean? How does that help an average citizen and understand no evidence of a threat. You mean they didn't do anything sinister? Yet. Well, you know, yet, Yeah, I probably can make that statement. And I have no top secret clearance. Based on what I've seen so far looking out my window, it doesn't appear to be a threat to our country. Okay, why? Well, because I looked out the window. That's all I'm getting from the federal government. And every, every single person, Democrat or Republican, has been calling for the same thing. That's why I have some concern that there is something very secret going on. Because how did the people with the technology have no idea. Except it's not. If they're saying it's not a threat, it must be something going on that's real, real top secret.

Representative (16:27)

Senator, have you had this kind of discretion from the government before when you've asked them questions straight out?

Senator (16:32)

I've never seen anything go on this long. And why would the government allow the public to be so frustrated? Why would the. Why would the government allow a United States Senator be so frustrated. We heard this from both sides of the aisle. Now, that brings to me to the point that whatever these drones are doing, the government really doesn't want us to know. What that must mean is they're more concerned with us getting knowledge and being afraid of that information than having no knowledge and having all these questions. That's why I'm worried about it. It must be something going on that they can't tell us because they are so fearful of what the public's going to do when they hear what the drones are doing. There's no way the Department of Defense does not know what's going on. We have not heard. Have we heard. Heard one word from the Department of Defense. Zero.

Representative (17:08)

Unbelievable. And you are calling for a limited state of emergency and a ban on flying drones? Like you and I just talked about a moment ago. The FAA has already imposed no fly zones. The drones are still in the air. Nothing is being done. How would what you're calling for change the situation? Obviously, whoever is putting these drones in the air isn't really caring about these warnings.

Senator (17:23)

Well, I'm not sure about that because who's ever putting the drones in the air is not. They're not violating the law, technically. So if we put that in effect, we would see whether or not these individuals who are setting them up are bold enough to violate the law right now. Why should they stop assuming they're a private ent. I never would believe this is a private entity, but if so, why do we need. Let me ask you a question. Is there some reason we need drones that badly right now in the air when people are panicking? Shut them down. FAA should shut them down. Who are they helping? All they're doing is creating panic.

Representative (17:50)

I agree with you to that point. What do you want to tell your constituents, Senator?

Senator (17:54)

Continue to put pressure on. And it's not even state officials. I saw Larry Hogan said something the other day. This is the federal government that's not coming clean. And I'm not one of these conspiracy people. But if this continues, you're going to see conspiracy theories that in my judgment are create panic. So come clean now. Everyone on both sides of the aisle is asking for this. And I'll tell you something. The citizens deserve better.

Jimmy Dore (18:14)

So Michael Tracy said it would seem the primary hysteria to be worried about right now are elected officials chomping at the bit to attribute these drone sightings to the typical cast of scary foreign adversaries in hopes of whipping up a war fervor and or funding more Military industrial expenditure.

Kurt Metzger (18:33)

Yeah, Jimmy, that. Well, after watching that, you saw. I don't know if you saw, Tim Dillon tweeted, but I'll bet you it's probably something like this. And I think it was a joke that Tim tweeted, but there's some loose nuke that they're trying to scan for with the drones, you know, or something like that. There's some emergency thing where we got to find this thing.

Jimmy Dore (18:53)

Well, there's. You know what? There's going to be a debunking of that later in this.

Kurt Metzger (18:57)

Oh. Oh, thank God. I will be delighted to hear that. Debunked.

Jimmy Dore (19:02)

These are the Transformer aliens attacking us, the distractions. They're here to take our eyes off the ball. Right. And we get to shoot them down. Guess why? Because we paid for them.

Kurt Metzger (19:13)

Nobody shot one down, have they?

Jimmy Dore (19:15)

No, but apparently a comedy show with Steve Carell wasn't enough to get the Space Force budget they wanted. And here we go.

Pentagon Official (19:29)

And just remember, ladies and gentlemen, the feckless response to the Chinese Communist Party's spy balloon. When that thing traversed America and went off, there went over one very sensitive base, including the B2 bombers. Base after another, we did nothing except say, oh, it's a spy balloon.

Jimmy Dore (19:47)

Or is it.

Pentagon Official (19:47)

Or is it a weather balloon? I still can't get over that one. The elusive maneuvering of these drones, I would suggest, suggests a make.

Jimmy Dore (19:56)

Yes, that treacherous weather balloon warrants orbital global dominance. Yeah, because a regular United States Air Force pilot would certainly not dive at the opportunity to finally shoot at something. Come on.

Kurt Metzger (20:12)

I think he's underselling it, Jimmy. Because it didn't just traverse America. It traversed from mainland China.

Jimmy Dore (20:19)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (20:19)

Intentionally. Not because of the weather patterns that our own government leaders had. Probably was from that it went all the way across all our bases, which again, look like a Predator. Megan's law profile app, if you want to look up where our bases are. Nobody shot it down. It got all the way through. All the way to Billings, Montana. I don't know what sensitive shits there, but I'll be glad to tell the Chinese everything I know for $6. Fuck billings. And then. And it's just white, the size of a school bus and says China on it.

Pentagon Official (20:55)

Military power, sophistication. That begs the question whether they have been deployed to test our defense capabilities or worse, by violent dictatorships, perhaps. Maybe Russia or China or Iran or North Korea. I mean, they have the capability, and they certainly have the motive. The Pentagon has said the drones are not ours. I'VE written defense.

Jimmy Dore (21:20)

And what if the. When is the Pentagon ever lied? What? Have they ever lied?

Kurt Metzger (21:24)

Name one time. Name once, Jimmy. The ones the great Tony Clause had mentioned throughout history.

Jimmy Dore (21:32)

Every single work, every except. Except to start every single war they've lied and about. Left Afghanistan for 20 straight years. But other than that, Secretary Lloyd Austin.

Pentagon Official (21:44)

Asking the Pentagon to authorize the use of force to down one or more of these unmanned threats to uncover the.

Jimmy Dore (21:52)

Miss. How do you know it's unmanned?

Kurt Metzger (21:54)

Maybe they were womaned.

Jimmy Dore (21:56)

Maybe they.

Pentagon Official (22:00)

Bring them down over the ocean, over an area where there's no population. Bring them down and find out who's doing it. Knowing that drone warfare has radically changed war fighting in Ukraine and Russia, the Middle east and elsewhere. This is not the time to trivialize or dismiss the threat.

Jimmy Dore (22:18)

Okay, you know what, Jimmy? Oh, I just read that you have to. You need an FAA license to fly a drone. And the penalties for flying can be serious. $27,500 for failing to register a drone. Up to $250,000 for flying an unregistered drone.

Kurt Metzger (22:38)

Also flying it over any military base. I'm pretty sure there's laws about that.

Jimmy Dore (22:42)

And then you. Why wouldn't they shoot it down? Hey, you know, we have a national defense system, but if a foreign enemy wants to fly, you know, aircraft over our military bases, we don't do anything about it. What?

Kurt Metzger (22:57)

Oh, my God. Do you think the chick from Secret Service is in charge of the drone defense?

Jimmy Dore (23:02)

Maybe. Maybe.

Kurt Metzger (23:07)

It'S like a Kimberly cheadle joint.

Jimmy Dore (23:12)

An FBI official has said that the agency has received 5,000 tips through a hotline and that less than 100 of those were deemed worthy of further investigative activity. So about 100. A Department of Homeland Security official said there is no evidence of a threat to. So here's what Michael Shellenberger says. He says the government insists drones aren't violating restricted airspaces over military bases, but they have, frequently for years. And now the Air Force admits drones invaded the airspace over its Wright Patterson base in Ohio on Friday night. From what? Drone incursion closed Wright Patterson Air Force Base's airspace Friday night. It's the latest. Is the. Is the latest installation to deal with the mysterious drones. There it is.

Kurt Metzger (24:08)

Oh, man. It's like the trouble with dribbles from Star Trek.

Jimmy Dore (24:13)

He says the airspace was blocked for around four hours late Friday night into early Sunday.

Kurt Metzger (24:19)

Oh, the drones are mating and making more drones. How are we going to clean them off this base?

Jimmy Dore (24:23)

And the story notes that it is not notable that the one Spotted over Wright Patterson, as with the other US military installations, were seen by trained observers that are equipped with high end gear to maintain security and to discriminate between friend and foe. What? So these aren't just yahoos in their car or their backyard. These are trained observers equipped with high end gear to maintain security and discriminate between a threat and a not threat.

Kurt Metzger (24:59)

So it is Iran.

Jimmy Dore (25:01)

Can anyone think of other instances in U.S. history when the senior U.S. officials, including Cabinet members, have so openly denied what military based commanders are telling the public?

Kurt Metzger (25:15)

Well Jimmy, here's. I know what this. Yeah, this is debunked that you told me, but it sounds like a lot of a big play acting like hey tell us what it is and they can't because they're searching for a loose nuke or whatever the fuck.

Jimmy Dore (25:26)

So here's Biden's officials in his cabinet Mayorkas and Kirby said we have not seen drones penetrate restricted airspace. Except that the military saying that they have. There are no reported or confirmed drone sightings in any restricted airspace. Of course they have been. So he's saying when? When that has the cabinet senior U. S officials, including cabinet members, so openly denied what the military is saying?

Kurt Metzger (25:58)

Do the people that do this propaganda not understand that when your credibility is gone you can't pull off this kind of horseshit and you're going to get a lot of apathy and anger at you and that's it.

Jimmy Dore (26:09)

Hey federal officials, looks like you're in a pinch. Need a way out. Say it was AI that took over the drones, but you'll have it under control again soon. That's right. AI to the rescue once again. It's the new devil made me do it. He goes out he asked chatgpt Instances where senior US officials, including cabinet members have publicly denied claims made by military commanders are relatively rare but not unprecedented historically. Such situations often arise during periods of heightened public scrutiny, security concerns or potential pressure. Here are a few notable examples. UFO encounters and military reports from 1940s and 50s during the early years of UFO sightings, such as the events in Roswell in 1947, high ranking military and government officials, including the US Air Force, frequently dismissed reports as weather balloons or experimental aircraft. This contradicted accounts from local military personnel who initially described the incidents as involving unidentified objects. The dissonance created decades of the dissidents created decades of skepticisms about the government's transparency. Hey, actual aliens. I say you get down here soon so you could clear your name because these guys are making you look like a bunch of Amateurs. Number two, Vietnam War body count strategy. Senior officials in Washington, including Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, often issued optimistic public assessments of U.S. military success in Vietnam, focusing on enemy body counts as a measure of progress. These claims were sometimes contradicted by on the ground commanders who reported significant challenges and questioned their accuracy. Number three, Iraq war and weapons of mass destruction. In the lead up to the 2003 Iraq invasion, senior officials, including Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld and Secretary of State Colin Powell publicly asserted that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction. After the invasion, military personnel on the ground reported that no such weapons were found. Number four, Afghanistan withdrawal. In 2021, during the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, senior officials, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, often painted a more controlled picture of the evacuation efforts. This contradicted reports from military commanders and service members who described a far more chaotic and dangerous situation. In each of these cases, the discrepancies between government statements and reports from military personnel reflected broader tensions between the public messaging and realities of complex or politically sensitive situations. They often led to increased distrust and scrutiny of official narratives. No kidding, Jimmy.

Kurt Metzger (28:50)

I just got texted by my buddy. The Zero Hedge article that it's the invasion is just in time for Congress to reauthorize Orwellian law. I haven't read it yet, but okay, I assume they were like, we need more drone control and it's probably going to extend in some bizarre way.

Jimmy Dore (29:07)

So here's the guy Rogan tweeted out. This guy's. This guy's saying he thinks it's loose nukes, right?

Kurt Metzger (29:15)

Yeah.

Jimmy Dore (29:16)

And so Schellenberger says there is zero evidence of loose nukes. The behavior of the government is not what it would be if there were. And what they're searching for them in military bases. The theory not only lacks evidence, all the evidence is against it. That's according to Schellenberger. He's saying. So this guy said that he's on the know, he's on the inside. He's the CEO of a drone manufacturing company. He has government contracts. And his. And he thought is that the drones are looking for loose nukes. But Schellenberger points out you'd be looking for loose nukes over military bases. That doesn't make any sense. Okay. Or gas leaks. He said, okay, Colin Rugg says, just in. So that's the guy. And then that's it. So all I gotta say is, by the way, the nukes aren't loose. They're probably in Israel. How about that?

Kurt Metzger (30:19)

Loose nukes was actually the name of.

Jimmy Dore (30:22)

My old podcast that whenever someone tells you that, you must be afraid of what's what is upcoming, but they don't give you the details. They're manufacturing a panic, and that's what it sounds like they're doing.

Kurt Metzger (30:34)

Wait, Jimmy. Okay, when you say loose nukes, I think of like, someone's loose pit bull is on the run. So I don't go, oh, no, a loose pit bull. I go, whose dog is this? So whose loose nukes is it? Why isn't that part of the propaganda? Right. Whose loose nuke is it? That's the main question I would have.

Jimmy Dore (30:53)

Right. So as Trump says, the government's hiding something. And even that New Jersey senator, the senator from New Jersey says the government's not telling us. So they're trying to create a panic for something.

Kurt Metzger (31:09)

No, they don't want people to panic. That's why they can't tell us.

Jimmy Dore (31:13)

Yeah, if I wanted to hate if we panic.

Kurt Metzger (31:16)

Like, it's not the ultimate form of control that works every single fucking time.

Jimmy Dore (31:22)

If I wanted to be led along pointlessly forever with nonsense, I would ask Kamala Harris a question. Okay. All right. So there. There we covered it. I was trying not to cover this story, but there I finally covered it.

Kurt Metzger (31:38)

Yeah, we were droning on and on about it. Some would say yes.

Jimmy Dore (31:42)

Trump was suing ABC for $15 million or I don't know how much, but they're going to pay him 15 million. So they give 15 million to the presidential library and a million for his attorney fees. And Stephanopoulos has to apologize for the false claims he made. Can we get another article on how only the corporate media can be trusted? Wow. The news. The news is so shocking that wherever Rob Reiner has relocated to, it's going to make him pack up and move again. What's Going on. Okay, so I want to. This is what George Nuffalopoulos got in trouble for. He kept. First of all, he was hectoring a woman who's a rape victim, saying using her rape victim status against her for supporting Donald Trump, someone who has not been convicted of rape. But this guy, George Nuffalopagus, lied on behalf of his. Credibly accused multiple times Bill Clinton of sexual assault and rape by Juanita Broderick. Credibly accused many times. They paid off one woman, Paula Jones, I think they gave her almost $1 million. And who was the guy doing it? They had a war room set up to attack any woman who said something about Bill Clinton. That's how often it was happening. And he was out in front of it. So here's, here's the, this, this turned everybody's stomach here at the show anyway. Yep. Watch what he does to her.

Reporter (34:06)

I still get judged for it today.

George Stephanopoulos (34:07)

Asking you a very simple question.

Reporter (34:08)

And I answered, you're shaming me for my political choice.

George Stephanopoulos (34:11)

I'm ask a question about why you endorse someone who's been found liable for rape.

Jimmy Dore (34:16)

Oh, so that's the lie. He wasn't found liable for rape. So that's the lie. He was. By the way, they had the most corrupt judge in the whole country presiding over that in New York. So that this woman, Gene Carroll, who I'm convinced is making it up. They had. Looks like she's making it up. They literally had to change the law so that she could sue him because it had way past statutory time limits. They had to. They passed the law in the legislature of New York State that then it was, it was. They gave it some kind of name, like, oh, we give a one time. You can go back and accuse somebody or something that happened. So they're saying this happened in the 90s. The woman never said anything until right when Donald Trump's about to win the presidency again some 30 years later. And anyway, so that's what this is about. And so he keeps saying, so that was the lie. He wasn't found liable for rape in a court. He wasn't.

Reporter (35:19)

Was not a criminal court.

Jimmy Dore (35:21)

This was, this was a civil court. It was a civil court.

Reporter (35:23)

And by the way, she talked about the judgment and what she was going to do with all that money, and I find that offensive. I'm asking you about a rape victim who's been shamed for years now because of her rape. You're trying to shame me again by asking me this question.

George Stephanopoulos (35:36)

You've repeated that again.

Reporter (35:38)

I Think it's offensive as a woman.

Jimmy Dore (35:40)

I mean, this is a guy who repeatedly attacked women on behalf of Bill Clinton, who's been credibly accused of rape, but he didn't have the government doing lawfare against him because Bill Clinton went wrong with the war machine and Wall Street.

Reporter (35:54)

I find her. I find it offensive. I'm asking my political choices. I've endorsed the man that I believe is best for our country. It's not Joe Bide. And you looked at the dueling rallies yesterday in Georgia Lake. And Riley's family was with Donald Trump. They weren't with Joe Biden. The same guy yesterday that apologized for calling her killer an illegal who wasn't illegal. And here you are trying to shame a rape victim. I find it disgusting.

George Stephanopoulos (36:17)

I mean, you keep saying I'm shaming you. There's nothing.

Reporter (36:19)

You are. The question it is, what else do.

George Stephanopoulos (36:21)

You think you're doing, Presidential candidate?

Jimmy Dore (36:23)

What else do you think you're doing? That kush. You're using her rape victim status against her. That's exactly what you're doing.

Kurt Metzger (36:29)

And also bringing up a fake rape to do it.

Jimmy Dore (36:31)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (36:32)

One that's fake as hell.

Reporter (36:35)

You're asking a rape victim.

George Stephanopoulos (36:38)

And there's no question about that. And you were. You've courageously talked about it.

Reporter (36:42)

Because I've been raped. I think that's just.

George Stephanopoulos (36:44)

No, I'm questioning your political choices because you're shaming me.

Jimmy Dore (36:46)

You're trying to.

George Stephanopoulos (36:47)

Someone who's been found liable for rape. Actually, I'm not trying to.

Jimmy Dore (36:50)

You are. That's exactly.

George Stephanopoulos (36:51)

You're not answering the question.

Reporter (36:52)

I think it's disgusting.

George Stephanopoulos (36:54)

Well, you're welcome to say that, but you also have to answer the question, why are you supporting someone who's been found liable for rape?

Reporter (37:00)

I just answered your question.

George Stephanopoulos (37:01)

What is the answer?

Reporter (37:01)

He was not. He was not found guilty in a civil. In a criminal court of law. It was a civil. It was sexual abuse. It wasn't actually rape, by the way. And E. Jean Carroll joked about all the money she's going to get and made a mockery out of this case. And I think that's offensive. There's a reason why women don't come forward. And when you have someone who says that they're raped and they make a mockery out of this civil court judgment, it's offensive to other women. It makes it harder for other women to come forward when another woman has made a mockery of it.

George Stephanopoulos (37:31)

You said women don't come forward because they are afraid. They are Afraid.

Reporter (37:34)

They're judged and shamed by those who are shocked. You're trying to shame me this morning.

George Stephanopoulos (37:38)

They are afraid to come forward, as you said, because they are defamed by those who commit the rape. That's what Donald Trump has been found guilty of doing.

Reporter (37:45)

He defended himself over that and denies that it ever happened. But he was not found guilty in a criminal court of law.

Kurt Metzger (37:53)

He worked for Bill Clinton, this guy Bill Clinton.

Jimmy Dore (37:56)

It's like if he worked for Jeffrey Epstein and he's sitting there trying to shame a rape victim. It was unbelievable. That just shows you who George Nefanopoulos is. So ABC agreed to pay $15 million to Donald Trump's presidential library to settle the defamation. And for everybody who's laughing at the idea of a Donald Trump library, just picture the Joe Biden library. It's going to, you know what, you walk in and there's just going to be post it notes everywhere reminding Joe Biden where he is.

Kurt Metzger (38:25)

It's going to be in Ukraine too, so you're probably not going to see it.

Jimmy Dore (38:29)

And so this is just strictly to humiliate them because they could have easily been told to spend that money at the tables in Vegas. And by the way, George, look at snuffle up against. All of a sudden his Twitter account deleted.

Kurt Metzger (38:40)

George.

Jimmy Dore (38:44)

Oops. He must have sat on his phone accidentally and but deleted his account. I wonder if his account got raped. ABC News has agreed to pay $15 million towards Donald Trump's presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit over anchor George Stephanopoulos's inaccurate honor assertion that the President elect had been found civilly liable for raping writer Eugene Carroll should have said adjudicated. This was another. It was another law fair. And I'm going to show you who the judge was in this case.

Kurt Metzger (39:17)

The story came from Law and Order.

Jimmy Dore (39:19)

For the record, as part of the settlement made public Saturday, ABC News posted an editor's note to its website expressing regret over Stephanopoulos statements. They're going to pay $1 million for his legal fees, too. Here it is. Editor's note. ABC News and George Nuffle up against regret statements regarding President J. Trump's Donald J. Trump's made during an interview by George Nuffle up against with Representative Nancy Mace at ABC's this Week on March 10, 2024. So. And nobody actually regrets their comments? He doesn't. What he regrets is that his comments blew up in his face like a gag exploding cigar. He's sorry that their bullshit got caught. Caught, called out.

Kurt Metzger (40:05)

He thought he was doing his job.

Jimmy Dore (40:07)

And this is. And he and George Nuffle up against is operating in a world where even someone who is supposed to tell the truth, no matter what, you know, like a news reporter, is now publicly shamed for having an opinion that goes against the script. So right under your nose, you're watching somebody openly be the opposite of everything they're supposed to be. And if you see it often enough, you burn out and you stop caring that this, this is going to continue to happen. You know, that's how these things keep happening.

Kurt Metzger (40:42)

Look, that'd be fine if people burnt out and stopped caring. But what gets at me is people getting really moralizing and self righteous.

Jimmy Dore (40:50)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (40:50)

They didn't listen.

Jimmy Dore (40:51)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (40:52)

Go tune out if you want, but don't come at me with morals with something. George Stephanopoulos. Are you joking?

Jimmy Dore (41:00)

During a live this Week interview. REPRESENTATIVE Neither verdict, so neither verdict involved the finding of rape as defined under New York law. In the first of the lawsuits to go to trial, Trump was found liable last year of sexually abusing and defaming Carol. A jury ordered him to pay $5 million. Okay. In January, at a second trial at federal court in Manhattan, Trump was found liable in addition to for defaming her. And they had to share. He had to pay $83 million. Trump's appealing both those right and well.

Kurt Metzger (41:36)

I could be wrong, but I don't think he was found. What I'm liable for was saying she wasn't his type. And then they showed pictures of Marla Maples and his older wife and they're all blonde. So that was like the thing that hinged on I don't remember him ever. So please say adjudicated.

Jimmy Dore (41:51)

She's a formal advice columnist. She went public in 2019 memoir with her allegation that Trump raped her in the mid-90s. She couldn't remember the date it happened. Shouldn't that be at a Bergdorf Gerdman? That's a luxury Manhattan department store across the street from Trump Tower. After they crossed paths in an entrance.

Kurt Metzger (42:12)

They allow that at that fancy store. Did you know that?

Jimmy Dore (42:15)

Yeah.

Kurt Metzger (42:15)

Just let you do that at Bergdorf Goodman. No one would even.

Jimmy Dore (42:19)

Trump denied her claim, saying he didn't know her and never ran into her at the store after she'd agreed to help Trump shop for a gift for a woman. Carol. That's what according to her. She testified that he pushed her against the dressing room wall, stamped his mouth onto hers, yanked down her tights and shoved his hand and then his penis inside her while she struggled against him and she didn't tell anybody. She didn't yell. She didn't tell anybody. She just walked 2016.

Kurt Metzger (42:46)

She didn't bring it up.

Jimmy Dore (42:47)

She didn't bring it up in 2016. Didn't bring it up. She finally need him to get. To get her off of her and. And then she fled.

Kurt Metzger (42:58)

Yeah. It wasn't until Reid Hoffman paid for the whole thing.

Jimmy Dore (43:01)

That's right. In upholding the $5 million judgment in the first trial, the US District Judge Lewis Kaplan. Keep that in mind. He's probably the most corrupt judge in the whole country. And I'm going to show you why in a second. That, that. You see the. Have you seen the judges? They got to preside over his case.

Kurt Metzger (43:19)

His cases, they look like supernatural creatures.

Jimmy Dore (43:24)

They are beyond mental cases.

Kurt Metzger (43:27)

Well, I like the one Biden just pardoned. The Cash for Kids.

Jimmy Dore (43:30)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (43:30)

Great job.

Jimmy Dore (43:32)

So. I can't believe we didn't cover that today. He wrote that the unanimous verdict was almost entirely in favor of Carol, except that the jury concluded she had failed to prove that Trump raped her within the narrow technical meaning of that particular law. Okay. Kaplan, who presided over both of the same judge for both that woman's lawsuits against him, the same judge. I wonder why they did that. Said the definition of rape was state Friday under New York law. Rape finding. Okay. The judge said the verdict did not mean that Carol failed to prove that Mr. Trump raped her. As many people commonly understand the word rape, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that. This is what this guy's saying. So here's the actual thing. U.S. district Court of Southern District E. Jean Carroll versus Donald Trump. This is what they call it, says the verdict form. Did Ms. Carroll prove by a preponderance of evidence that Mr. Trump raped her? No. There it is.

Kurt Metzger (44:32)

Which is very narrow. Like you had to actually have done it, you know.

Jimmy Dore (44:36)

And so that judge who presided over this case, which was another sham case, just like January 6th, just like the Fannie Willis one. Just like the one.

Kurt Metzger (44:47)

Letitia James, the other guy. Yeah, they're all the Soros lawyers.

Jimmy Dore (44:52)

So more that. So this is from the International association of Democratic lawyers. More than 200 lawyers filed a judicial complaint against that judge. Judge Louis A cafe.

Kurt Metzger (45:03)

That's the guy. This Donziger judge.

Jimmy Dore (45:05)

Over abusive targeting of human rights advocate Stephen Donziger. Now I've showed you Stephen Donziger. We had him on the show because he won a court settlement against an oil company. And then the oil company got corrupt judges like this to go after Cap after Donzinger. And it's so much so that get this, there was a complaint signed by 37 different organizations representing 500,000 lawyers worldwide. Details shocking violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct by a US Judge and long running Chevron retaliation campaign.

Kurt Metzger (45:44)

Wait till crystal ball hears about this. Because she was a big champion of Donzinger, was she not?

Jimmy Dore (45:49)

Yeah, but of course she won't. She'll ignore this part. Chevron and Kaplan targeted Donzinger after he helped indigenous peoples win a landmark $9.5 billion judgment against Chevron in 2011 for dumping oil and waste on Amazon. In the Amazon. So Kaplan was the judge who did this. And 500,000 lawyers worldwide called what he did shocking violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct.

Kurt Metzger (46:15)

This isn't new. It's what's new. And so that's how they Trump people had like Republicans who love the cops. Had to see how the cops.

Jimmy Dore (46:21)

Yeah. And so they. So now. So this is how corrupt your government is. They had to get that, had to find the most corrupt lawyer in the country to preside over both of those things because both of those trials were corrupt. They had to literally have the state legislator in New York, let's completely change the law so she could bring this lawsuit. And they did it just so they could get Donald Trump and keep him from all these law fair things. And again, you don't have to like Donald Trump, you don't have to be a Trump fan to see what this means. If they could do this to a former president and a billionaire who was a darling of the establishment liberal media for decades and decades, if they could do this to him, they'll do it to Bernie Sanders or they'll do it to Cornel West. They'll do it to you. They'll do it to anybody. They'll do it to anybody who stands up against the establishment. And that's why this is important.

Kurt Metzger (47:14)

Smallest of ways, you could be 95% establishment like the first Trump term.

Jimmy Dore (47:18)

That's right.

Kurt Metzger (47:19)

That's not good enough. You gotta be a full on robotoid.

Jimmy Dore (47:23)

And now Trump is also gonna sue 60 Minutes over the Harrison. He's got a $10 billion lawsuit. The network aired two different responses from the Vice president responding to a question about the war between Israel and Hamas. So after this, I'm really looking forward to seeing how Trump's lawsuit against CBS turns out. So he's got it. And I just want to, I want to show you how Trump. This guy is such a lying bitch. He's such A. That's why he worked for Clinton and that's why. And he's such a corrupt piece of shit that Donald Trump can have the moral high ground and expose him without even trying. What? This is from earlier this year. Watch this.

George Stephanopoulos (48:01)

And going back to last June, is there anything you regret? Oh, absolutely. I'd love to have done certain things over. But you can't. You can't. But that's true in life. I'd love to have done in life certain things over, I guess. And you would have two. Give me one. You would have loved not to have contributed to the Clinton foundation as an example. There are things that you. You wish you didn't do. Okay. You came very close to the edge. You would have loved to have had that decision over again.

Jimmy Dore (48:27)

Wow. It's like watching a bug walk into a Venus fly trap.

Kurt Metzger (48:32)

Yeah. That's George sniffle up against. Hey, Jimmy, remember when we reported how they changed the law to this Trump thing?

Jimmy Dore (48:38)

Yes.

Kurt Metzger (48:38)

Okay. For one year you can bring up stuff.

Jimmy Dore (48:41)

One year.

Kurt Metzger (48:43)

But then I guess forever hold your rape inside. Don't bring it up again. That's how they got diddy. All these other people inadvertently got caught up in that one year thing.

Jimmy Dore (48:53)

Oh, no kidding.

Kurt Metzger (48:54)

Yeah.

Jimmy Dore (48:55)

So here's George Stephanopoulos. He disclosed that he gave 75 grand to the Clinton foundation while covering the Clintons for ABC News. He had to apologize for that. This is real.

Kurt Metzger (49:06)

Should they be paying him?

Jimmy Dore (49:08)

Right. They see you would think, what kind.

Kurt Metzger (49:11)

Of punk are you? They should be paying you to be doing this propaganda.

Jimmy Dore (49:16)

ABC News chief anchor George Stephanopoulos has given 75 grand to the Clinton foundation in recent years. Charitable contributions that he did not publicly disclose while reporting on the Clintons or their nonprofit organization. The On Media blog has learned must.

Kurt Metzger (49:33)

Be some tax thing.

Jimmy Dore (49:35)

So. So why would he do that? You're right. They should be paying him. So he obviously wanted. He wanted. But he's either some kind of tax thing or he wanted a favor from Hillary Clinton.

Kurt Metzger (49:47)

Oh, that's how you get Clinton wishes.

Jimmy Dore (49:49)

Yeah. So, wow. This is him when he was lying for when Bill Clinton. They literally had a war room and they would attack anyone because they knew there were going to be a dozen women at least come out of the woodwork to accuse Bill Clinton of sexual harassment. This is before the Internet and they did. And one of them had credible claims of a rape. And here's how. Governor Clinton has a character problem. But I take it that your line.

Senator (50:21)

Of counterattack is that it's un. Well, I mean, he has not denied.

Jimmy Dore (50:27)

That he has engaged in marital infidelity.

George Stephanopoulos (50:29)

Bill Clinton's passed his character tests throughout his life and throughout this campaign. And he's shown it through his commitments to real fights and what he's going to do.

Jimmy Dore (50:37)

His eyes are so shift. That's so shift. You see his eyes going back and forth. I'm not a body language expert, but I know what my gut tells me, and my gut tells me that guy's a shifty liar. Can you start it again? Governor Clinton has a character problem, but I take it that your line of.

Senator (50:54)

Clinton has no character.

Jimmy Dore (50:55)

Line of counterattack is that it's un.

Senator (50:57)

Well, I mean, he is.

Jimmy Dore (50:59)

He has not denied that he has engaged in marital infidelity. Yeah, that. But that's not what this is even about. Nobody cares he cheated on his wife. People care.

Kurt Metzger (51:08)

Obviously he does. They have an arrangement.

Jimmy Dore (51:10)

Yeah, obviously. They. The Clintons had an arrangement for a long time. We can go out and bang women and she would look the other way.

Kurt Metzger (51:16)

She's his. They're both beards of each other. Yes, that's called being high class.

Jimmy Dore (51:21)

And. But look at that. Look at. Look. Look at that. But what we're talking about is when he was accused of assaulting women. And if these were credible, not. Not fake, like the one that Anna Kaparian did against me where she flashed her genitalia to the entire newsroom and then got mad and then tried to shut me up by blackmailing me.

Kurt Metzger (51:42)

She tried to do it. So you can't talk about how Aaron Mate is not a Russian ass.

Jimmy Dore (51:47)

That's what it was about.

Kurt Metzger (51:48)

She didn't make a real accusation. She actually. Moronically.

Jimmy Dore (51:51)

Moronically.

Kurt Metzger (51:52)

To threaten you threaten?

Jimmy Dore (51:54)

Yes.

Kurt Metzger (51:55)

This experience of her flashing her employees. Yeah, of her flashing employees. I will tell everyone how I flash my employees if you don't stop saying that was a lie. That's unbelievable.

Jimmy Dore (52:09)

But you met and that. And she sent me a DM to try saying you're gonna. You've been running your mouth. Well, that's gonna end because now I'm gonna accuse you of sexual harassment. What? Because I was telling the truth about them lying about Aaron Mate, saying he's being paid by the Russians and paid by Assad. That's what the young turks were doing. They were smearing an anti war journalist. And to get me to shut up and stop defending him, she tried to blackmail me. It didn't work. And that's right. Also, she was my boss work.

Kurt Metzger (52:39)

If the boss. Dude. If you were showing dick knack around the office and someone said hey, nice newspants to you. The very idea that you would threaten them is so insane.

Jimmy Dore (52:50)

I know.

Kurt Metzger (52:51)

And so, like, that's why I believe her, that she just now figured out whatever she figured out.

Jimmy Dore (52:55)

All right.

Kurt Metzger (52:56)

Cenk was lying the whole time.

Jimmy Dore (52:57)

Let's watch this again. Bill Clinton has a character problem. But I take it that your line of. Line of counterattack is that it's un.

Senator (53:05)

Well, I mean, he is.

Jimmy Dore (53:06)

He has not denied that he has engaged in marital infidelity.

George Stephanopoulos (53:10)

Bill Clinton's passes character tests throughout his life.

Jimmy Dore (53:13)

Where did he take that character test? On Epstein Island?

Kurt Metzger (53:16)

No, Rhodes. He's a Rhodes scholar. Cecil Rhodes. The founder of apartheid.

George Stephanopoulos (53:20)

And throughout this campaign, and he's shown it through his commitments to real fights. And what he's going to do in this campaign is focus on what's important to the American people, on the jobs and the education. That's what the American people care about. Why are you supporting someone who's been found liable for rape? Well, actually, what you're doing is defending a man who's been found liable for rape. I don't understand how you can do that.

Jimmy Dore (53:38)

Clear.

George Stephanopoulos (53:38)

You're comfortable with Donald Trump being found liable for rape.

Kurt Metzger (53:42)

Do you hear how he said the phrase intentionally over and over again? Which is how you do. You try to put propaganda out. You repeat that same stupid fucking phrase, and it's not true. Because that's why he had to pay that absolutely untrue statement that he said at least three times to embed it in the subconscious of the viewer, which they take classes in how to do that. That's just how. That's why you get a media coach.

Jimmy Dore (54:08)

So here American Values tweets out this video. It says, watch Clinton insider exposes how big Pharma silences critics. Big corporations hired people like me to implement the playbook. RFK Jr. Is their latest target. They've determined. They're determined to keep him out of Washington, DC. The same tactics are used against Elon Musk, Joe Rogan and Tulsi Gabbard. Same. And they did the same thing to Ralph Nader. Let's watch this video. Here we go. Powerful corporations and partners in the media have a playbook they use on you when you beat them too much and in areas you can cost them real money. Pharma was apparently beyond reproach. And when Bobby questioned them, his adoring press turned faster than the weather in Texas.

RFK Jr. (54:54)

What generally happens with people like me is when we're done with the trench warfare of campaigns, which is low paying and grueling, work. Big corporations hire people like me to come inside and implement the playbook. And here's the way the playbook works. First, they attack you broadly and they question your facts. They say you're lying, and it's ferocious. But if you keep on moving after that, they move on to character assassination. They take on who you are as a person. They dig up everything bad in your past and leak it to the press. If you had a fender bender, you're a reckless driver. If you paid a bill late, you're a deadbeat. And so on and so on. Every part of your life goes under their microscope. They try to embarrass you. They try to make you say, this fight isn't worth what it's costing me, and you quit. But if that doesn't stop you, and it stops most people, but it didn't stop Bobby, they say you're a liar. If liar doesn't work. They say you're an anti Semite and a racist. Crazy or kook or crank or nut job are their mainstays. That's their nuclear option. Because if they can get everyone to dismiss you as a wacko nut job, everything you say is suspect. And then they can get back to selling whatever thing it is you said might not be safe. And here's the thing. It works, like, damn near 100% of the time, it works. If all the publications and TV shows you trust tell you someone's a crazy person, they must be a crazy person, right? This is New York Magazine in 1995. This is New York Magazine in 2023. This is Vanity Fair in 2006. This is Vanity Fair Fair in 2023. This is Rolling Stone in 1992. This is Rolling Stone in 2023. Standing up to them exacts a real cost, and that's why they do it.

Jimmy Dore (56:38)

I lost the relationships that I built over maybe 50 years of life. I had close friends who just told.

Senator (56:47)

Me they couldn't be my friend anymore.

Kurt Metzger (56:51)

So now that you know the Playbook.

Jimmy Dore (56:53)

You can recognize it and decide for yourself. Visit AV24.org playbook to learn more. So all I can say is I'm glad I'm not that brave. And, well, I mean, now that you know the. They did do that to me, actually, but not as bad as him, but, yeah, they did that. I've had all the smear pieces written about me.

Kurt Metzger (57:15)

I've had it happen to me before I even met you. I've had this happen to me. This is. It always struck me all this stuff was like, what am I running for office. Why am I being trash? As if there's a campaign trying to dig up dirt on me, like, I don't have to be elected to my job. I just do my job. But he just said that's what it is. That's called the Playbook. Sounds worse than the Putin playbook.

Jimmy Dore (57:38)

I've had people I've known all my life, people I've known in comedy for 30 years won't talk to me anymore, slander me on social media, on the regular, smear me, won't. Won't ever have a conversation with me about anything. But they will go on. They will go on social media and slander me in the most disgusting ways.

Kurt Metzger (57:58)

Well, what? On Facebook. That is disgusting. Who goes on Facebook?

Jimmy Dore (58:02)

On Facebook, that is disgusting. So now that you know the Playbook, is Sheryl Hines the greatest woman on earth? Well, second greatest. And so anyway, it's just.

Kurt Metzger (58:23)

I thought the greatest woman on earth was that trans health official who looks like Mitch McConnell in drag.

Jimmy Dore (58:28)

Yeah. Imagine what they would do to RFK if you actually went after Israel.

Kurt Metzger (58:34)

I mean, they're calling him anti Semitic and the guy is pro Israel. I would say to a fault.

Jimmy Dore (58:46)

The problem is that the worst criminals in the world are the ones who own the prison. Yeah. So that's the Playbook. That's what happened to Bobby Kennedy. That's what happens to everybody. That's what happened to Julian Assange. That's what happened to Russell Brand. They did a similar thing to me. But I'm not going to compare what happened to me to what happened to Russell or what happened to Bobby. But it happened. It happened to Kurt. It happened. I was threatening the Democratic Party's reason for people to stay in the Democratic Party, the Progressive Caucus. And I was exposing them as frauds as I exposed. And it was real. And they didn't know what to do. AOC accused me of stochastic violence for suggesting her plan. For suggesting her plan that you got.

Kurt Metzger (59:46)

Her inspiring plan that you liked and had her on as a result.
