The Jimmy Dore Show

Episode: Trump’s MOST CLOWNISH Press Conference Yet!
Date: April 8, 2026
Theme:
A sharp, irreverent takedown of Donald Trump’s latest press conference, scrutinizing the spin around a failed military operation in Iran, the media’s complicit framing, U.S. and Israeli covert activity, and how political and literal theft target the vulnerable. Plus, signature Jimmy Dore satirical detours.

---

Episode Overview

Jimmy Dore and his guest commentators dissect Donald Trump’s recent press conference, which attempted to spin a disastrous U.S. mission in Iran as a triumph. In trademark style, Jimmy skewers the administration’s jingoism, the media’s credulity, and the U.S. government’s actual record—from failed rescue operations to stoking unrest and even orchestrating regime change. The episode also unpacks U.S. and Israeli influence in Iranian protests, the weaponization of propaganda, and segues into parallels of literal property theft closer to home.

Tone: Outrageous, profane, biting, and satirical, blending serious critique with comedic asides.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Trump’s Clownish Press Conference and the Iran Military Disaster

• Press Conference Satire:

  • Jimmy opens by mocking Trump’s attempt to frame a failed military operation in Iran as a victory. He notes the dissonance between Trump’s pronouncements of “obliterating” Iran’s Air Force and the reality of a U.S. jet being shot down and expensive equipment abandoned and destroyed.
  • “Pretending getting a fighter jet shot down by a military that Trump said was completely decimated as a victory is pure clown show.” (15:12)

• On Trump’s Performative Bombast:

  • He calls out the wild hyperbole and shifting ultimatum deadlines, likening Trump’s attitude to a “sophomore class in covering your ass, like Pee Wee Herman saying he meant to crash his bike in front of the neighborhood kids.” (15:12)
  • Commentary on Trump using basic sayings like “needle in a haystack” and passing it as CIA code:
    • “Wow. Is that like secret code? CIA code? Is that what that is? Needle in a haystack? I’ve never heard this before. Pray tell, what does that mean?” (06:31)

• Ass-Kissing Fest:

  • Segments of the presser are played, featuring CIA Director John Radcliffe and Pete Hegseth offering effusive praise for Trump’s “courageous leadership.”
  • Jimmy ridicules the sycophancy: “It just turned into this ass kissing fest...” (12:27)

• Reality vs. Spin:

  • Cites reports showing the mission was a failed uranium heist, not a successful rescue.
  • Highlights reporting and expert analysis (Judge Napolitano, Larry Johnson) revealing the disastrous U.S. losses—multiple aircraft lost and the real possibility it was an unauthorized mission for nuclear material, not a humanitarian rescue. (18:44–23:36)

---

2. Propaganda, War, and the Reality of the Iran Operation

• The Propaganda Playbook:

  • Criticizes the U.S. and Israeli media's framing of Iranian protests as organic grassroots uprisings, when evidence and admissions show CIA and Mossad involvement in arming and inciting violence.
  • “Not one mainstream news outlet... even entertained the possibility that the Iranians were telling the truth; this was universally dismissed as Iranian propaganda.” (35:23)

• Trump’s Open Admission (33:49):

  • Trump, in a Fox News clip, openly admits the U.S. sent “a lot of guns” to Iranian protesters—intended to trigger regime change.
  • Jimmy responds incredulously, noting the hypocrisy, and likening it to how Americans would react if Iran was arming violent insurgents in the U.S.:
    • “Imagine... if Iran was sending the protesters who were shooting cops in the United States and burning down churches... How would we respond?” (34:28)

• Blowback and Immorality:

  • “The entire moral justification for doing anything we’re doing over there is completely out the window because we were the ones causing the riots... arming them.” (35:49)
  • Discusses how such manipulation is standard U.S. foreign policy, repeating in Libya, Syria, and now Iran.

---

3. Media Manipulation and Public Gullibility

• Media as War Propaganda Machine:

  • Jimmy points out that U.S. media never questions the “peaceful protesters” narrative as long as it fits the State Department script, drawing historical parallels to Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and more:
    • “And it is the thing that is sad, as Arnold points out, that people still fall for it.” (39:18)

• Projection and Confession:

  • “Everything they say is a projection and a confession.” (14:54)

---

4. Parallels: Theft, Power, and Injustice at Home

• From Geopolitical Theft to Deed Theft:

  • In typical Dore form, the conversation pivots to domestic injustices—specifically deed theft in New York, targeting black homeowners, compared to Israeli land theft in Palestine and Jewish networks engaging in property fraud.
  • “At least bank robbers have the decency to say exactly what they’re doing.” (49:22)

• Empathy for the Victims:

  • News clips and grassroots community voices illustrate the scope and impact: “We are pleading…to do right by black New Yorkers…” (44:20)
  • Parallels drawn between the disempowerment of targeted communities, exploitation of legal loopholes, and lack of effective recourse.

---

5. Satirical Interlude: Kevin Spacey Call-In

• Kevin Spacey (impersonated by Mike McRae):
  • Inserts absurdist humor and parallel narratives (alleged death in an airstrike, insurance lawsuits over his House of Cards firing) as a comic aside and a jab at celebrity and media culture. (54:18–59:35)
  • Satirical commentary about Trump’s “victory” in Iran: “The war has been a huge success so far, and they can even stop now and still proclaim victory. The Iranian regime is still more or less intact, the Straits of Hormuz are now closed to international shipping. This is a huge win for Trump, in my opinion.” (58:38)
  • Irony is front and center, “Of course not. But kissing his ass might be my only way back into making money in the States.” (59:01)

---

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Donald Trump’s bellicosity:

  • “If there’s one thing Donald Trump’s known for, his Disney-like optimism.” (02:05)

• On the press conference spin:

  • “This is a master class in making all your failures look like a secret plan… but that would require a master doing it. This is a sophomore class in covering your ass…” (15:12)

• Admission on U.S. role in Iran protests:

  • “[Trump] tells me, ‘We sent guns to the Iranian protesters, a lot of them.’” (32:15, 33:49)
  • “So the whole idea, the whole moral justification for doing anything we’re doing over there is completely out the window because we were the ones causing the riots.” (35:49)

• On media complacency:

  • “Which mainstream outlet globally questioned the peaceful protesters framing? Well, no, no mainstream outlet. We did it immediately here, of course.” (35:23)

• On ongoing gullibility:

  • “It’s mind-boggling to me that Americans are still so willing to hate on people who never did anything to them and believe the worst things about them, even though they’ve been shown for at least the last 25 years how unbelievably evil, bellicose—there’s that word again—our own government is…” (39:52)

• Satirical highlight:

  • “You know, you know they’re coming for your kidneys next, right?” (52:43)
  • “Please sue me so I can be in the news again.” (59:35)

Transcript

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, we'll be in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Burbank, California, that's on May 7th. That's a Saturday. Then we'll be in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, Spokane, tacoma. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for all those tickets. See you there. Establishment media sucks. All that slighting so good luck bullshit. We can't afford why he's fomenting this.

[Guest Commentator 1]

Watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the medium

[Jimmy Dore]

and hit some head on. It's the chimney door show. Donald Trump had a press conference today and it turns out it was all about trying to brag about some great military achievement. And it turns out that's a lie, probably. And also only Donald Trump could say that we obliterated their air force, then get a billion dollar jet shot down and then pretend like that's some kind of a victory. Wow, it's, it's great. It's quite a spin. It's good for him. He's still. But he's still spinning. So let's go to it. These are, it's, it was, it was pretty clownish. The whole, I mean, honest to God, Donald Trump, when I, if you. I was listening to the press conference at first because I came a little late, so I had it on fast speed and he sounded, you know, ridiculous, but he didn't sound drunk. But if you listen to it at regular speed, which I. So at some point it caught up and it started to go regular speed. Honest. He sounded, he sounded like a drunk guy would sound. This is the greatest. With just boom, obliterated. It's. He, it's okay. Okay. So anyway, let's start. Here we go. Let's start.

[Guest Commentator 2]

The entire country can be taken out in one night. And that night might be tomorrow night.

[Jimmy Dore]

If there's one thing Donald Trump's known for, his Disney like, optimism. And now a lot of people are also pointing to that, saying that, that he's threatening a nuclear war because you can't take out the country in one night with conventional weapons. So he's just wildly, wildly, wildly, even. Even I am shocked at Donald Trump's bellicose nature, put it that way. Siri, what is the definition of bellicose? I don't know what it is. Let's see, what's the definition of bellicose? Demonstrating aggression and willingness to fight. Okay. Yeah, I was right. I would, I would also put. Tinged with cray. His hair looks good though. I gotta say. His hair is looking good. Let's keep it going. The whole thing. I'm just gonna clip. So if you don't know what the thing, what the press conference was about. The press conference was about them trying to spin one of our pilots getting shot down and them launching a rescue operation and probably spending a billion dollars on it because they left behind 17 aircraft and they blew them up themselves and all this stuff. And it's unbelievable. Right? So, so that's what it was about. But as I'm going to show you in the next segment, there's a very likely good chance that this was not about saving a pilot, that this was a mission that they failed at. It's very likely that this was a mission to get some kind of the nuclear material that they claimed they were, that Iran has and that it was a disaster. That's more likely. I'm going to show you that in the next segment. But this segment, let's just look at the clown show of his press conference. And it turned into an ass kiss fest. Also Pete Hegseth, the CIA director. Okay, let's listen to this.

[Guest Commentator 2]

I'm going to introduce the head of the CIA and he is a man who is central casting.

[Kevin Spacey]

Okay.

[Guest Commentator 2]

If we cast a movie, he's going to play the head of the CIA. He's one of the few, John Radcliffe.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's. So they're using the central casting joke. So I'm expecting a check in the mail. Don't worry about it though. Okay. Here, here's another, here's another one. He's, he's actually, he's actually talking. So when here, let's listen.

[Guest Commentator 2]

But to have a contingency as opposed to having to wait two days, can you imagine right in the middle, this was central. This was. Right. You would call it central casting if you were doing a movie for location and probably.

[Jimmy Dore]

No, you wouldn't call it central casting. You would call that location scouting. So he's, he's talking about location scouting. He's not talking about casting. So just to let you know. Okay.

[Guest Commentator 2]

But to have a contingency as opposed to having to wait two days. Can you imagine right in the middle, this was central. This was. Right. You would call it central casting if you were doing a movie for location and probably the toughest area of Iran where we'd be sitting there. So these planes came in, those pilots came in so fast and so quick

[Jimmy Dore]

and got, they came in so fast and so quick they didn't even see the anti aircraft fire that took them down.

[Kevin Spacey]

Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

The CIA was very responsible. Oh, here it is. So watch again. It's just, you can't take any of these guys seriously anymore just because they're all hyperbole. He keeps giving deadlines, moving them back 48 hours. Another one. Move back. But watch this. Watch how he pretends like one of the oldest sayings in the world. He just invented let's. Or they just invented let's Listen.

[Guest Commentator 2]

The CIA was very responsible for finding this little speck. It's like they used an expression on one of the shows a general was talking about. It's like finding a needle in a haystack.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow. What? It just. That's. That's. Is that like secret code? CIA code? Is that what that is? Needle in a haystack? I've never heard this before. Pray tell. What does that mean? One of the generals said, let's listen.

[Guest Commentator 2]

The CIA was very responsible for finding this little speck. It's like they used an expression on one of the shows.

[Jimmy Dore]

On one of the shows. So he's talking Mark Levin or he's talking Sean Hannity. You know these shows. One of the shows. They used an expression on one of the shows. Listen to this. You ready? It's like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Boom. That. You know what? I never thought of it that way. Who came up with that saying? That is brilliant. That is absolutely brilliant. That's their code word. Is that a CIA code word? Hey, what's their code word for attack? 23 Skidoo. I'm not shenanigans. This. This literally made me laugh out loud when I was listening to it when he said this. At one of the shows, they use this term called needle in a haystack. You ever heard it?

[Guest Commentator 2]

The CIA was very responsible for finding this little speck. It's like they used an expression on one of the shows a general was talking about. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding this pilot and the CIA was unbelievable.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's weird that they use it on one of the shows. You know, one of these. One of these expressions that our great grandparents used to use all the time. Nobody would ever think to look there. Here's some more. This is Pete Hegseth. He's such an alpha male. He doesn't even know the meaning or pronunciation of the word impotent. Ready? Here we go.

[Pete Hegseth]

Under the constant threat of Iranian forces closing in, ultimately, it was an impotent Iranian.

[Jimmy Dore]

It was impotent. Oh, impotent. He couldn't get an Uber. I mean, up. He was so impotent. He had a. He couldn't get a Banar. Why couldn't he get a banar? I don't know. He's impotent.

[Pete Hegseth]

Ready Here under the constant threat of Iranian forces closing in. Ultimately, it was an impotent Iranian threat. And today, as the CIA director mentioned, Iran's military. And we know this. Is embarrassed and humiliated. And they should be.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes, they are embarrassed and humiliated that they shot down one of our jets, even though you claimed that we have decimated their air force, that we own the skies. You mean that kind of thing. By the way. Don't. Don't think this is what they're saying. It is this. I'm pretty sure this was not a mission to save that guy, but here we go. So here is the. Is this the CIA guy? Is this Radcliffe? I'm not even sure. Let's watch.

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

Mr. President, I've had the privilege.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

This is of seeing you act with political courage in the best interest of the United States up close on a daily basis. And I'm grateful that this successful mission has given the American people a window into that as well. The Secretary and Chairman will tell you that our service members confidence is boosted by a commander in Chief who has their back the same way they have yours.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow. Well, if any one person you want to have your back, it's somebody who has pals with Jeffrey Epstein, if you know what I'm saying. Am I right? Come on. And be sure to get your completely untested confidence booster before you go into the field. This shows that that is him.

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

Mr. President, I've had the privilege.

[Jimmy Dore]

Privilege?

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

Of seeing you act with political courage in the best interest of the United States. Up close on it.

[Jimmy Dore]

You know. The courage to send other people to fight a war when you were Mr. The Ferment King, when it was your term to serve. You know that kind of courage. The kind of courage to bomb a country that has no ability to attack us back. That kind of courage. Total courage. The courage to start an unwinnable war. That kind of courage.

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

Daily basis. And I'm grateful that this successful mission has given the American people window into that as well. The Secretary and Chairman will tell you that our service members confidence is boosted by a commander in chief who has their back the same way they have yours. And I know that the confidence of CIA's officers is boosted by the knowledge that their work is informing a President who's not afraid to make the hardest decisions when the stakes are highest. And to the American people, your confidence should be boosted by knowing that the security of the nation is in the hands of a president who's willing to take on problems that have confounded both sides of the political aisle for nearly half a century. It is an honor to serve under a leader who just proved that.

[Jimmy Dore]

You know the problem that's confounded political leaders for half a century? You know the problem of Iran not attacking us. You mean that a problem? The problem of Iran never starting a war. You mean that kind of problem? Yeah, that is a problem. Yeah. You know how we overthrew their government and installed an oppressive dictator who tortured his own people? Yeah, that kind of problem. Yeah.

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

You can believe him when he says, no matter what, we will leave no one behind. We will come for you. Thank you.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. I remember when he was running for president the first time, he said he didn't like soldiers who got captured. Remember that? Oh, yeah. Yeah. They're losers. Back to Petey. Good old Petey. Mr. Impotent. Here we go.

[Pete Hegseth]

But make no mistake about it, none of this would have been possible without the courageous leadership and ironclad determination of President Donald J.

[Jimmy Dore]

So it just turned into like this ass kissing fest, right? With Radcliffe and him. So Radcliffe, he started it, and then Pete Hegseth, he continued it. It just turned into one big ass kiss fest.

[Pete Hegseth]

But make no mistake about it, none of this would have been possible without the courageous leadership and ironclad determination of President Donald J. Trump. From the moment our airmen went down, President Trump made it clear, we will leave no one behind. The first mission, the first of two, was an audacious daylight thunder run right up the middle, was authorized in less than two hours from that pilot going down when we knew where he was. And it was authorized in the middle of the night because anybody that's worked for this man knows he's up in the middle of the night. Authorized immediately, without hesitation, audaciously, the President demanded rapid, decisive action. He backed our military with the full weight of his resolve, refusing to let enemy propaganda or tactical setbacks deter us. His leadership ensured that every lethal and non lethal resource was brought to bear, that our forces had the authorities and the support they needed to succeed. When the President says he has the backs of our war fighters, he means it. And it means a great deal. And it's a big difference on the battlefield. President Trump understands that peace through strength is not a slogan. It is a doctrine that saves American lives. His unwavering commitment to rebuilding our military and restoring the warrior spirit has paid dividends in missions just like this one under his command. America projects power with confidence and brings our people home with Victory. And that continues today, by the way, per the president's direction. Today will be the largest volume of strikes since day one of this operation. Tomorrow even more than today. And then Iran has a choice. Choose wisely because this president does not play around.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they're seriously trying to convince us that the same effort is going to be given to foot soldiers as the highly trained national media figure fighter pilot. I mean, our military leaders hold those guys, the foot soldiers, in the same high regard that the Ukrainian military leaders hold theirs. That's what I'm thinking. And they're going to hope that we forget all this because of the multimillion dollar plane just got shot down moments into the conflict. This is. Okay, so here's, here's Trump on negotiations with Iran. Our messaging on the war has moved from the war is coming to an end to war going to be bombing Iran to the stone ages.

[News Reporter]

And we've heard a range of those question. So are you.

[Jimmy Dore]

So which is it?

[News Reporter]

Are you winding this down?

[Jimmy Dore]

Are you?

[Guest Commentator 2]

I can't tell you. I don't know.

[Jimmy Dore]

I can't.

[Guest Commentator 2]

It depends what they do. This is a critical period. They have a period of, well, till tomorrow at 8 o'.

[Kevin Spacey]

Clock.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay. So I was going to say this is a master class and making all your failures look like a secret plan because that's what this is. But that would require a master doing it. This is a sophomore class and covering your ass like Pee Wee Herman saying he meant to crash his bike in front of the neighborhood kids. That's kind of what this is. So that's what I said. Pretending getting a fighter jet shot down by a military that Trump said was completely decimated as a victory is pure clown show. Iran is humiliated. Everything they say is a projection and a confession. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show is you become a premium member.

So now there's lots of credible reporting that this was not a mission to save that guy. That this was what what it was. It's now becoming clear that what happened in southern Iran was a botched operation carried out by the Trump regime. This was not about rescuing a pilot. So there's, there's some video of all the. These are American planes and they say we blew them up ourselves because the sand was too wet and they couldn't take off and we didn't want to leave them our technology. So this is what victory looks like. Just to let you know, this is what winning looks like. But this, it wasn't a rescue operation. It was a failed uranium heist. That's what, that's what people are saying. Well, what I say, Jackson, maybe they were rescuing uranium. You ever think about that? You don't have to be so negative. Breaking. According to an informed US military source, not one but four M86s Little Bird helicopters had to be abandoned and destroyed at the landing site, along with two C130 Hercules. That's according to ABC News. During the operation, two MQ9 Reaper drones were also shot down. And then guess what they found. They found a Mossad agent's ID card breaking the ID card of a Major Amanda M. Rider of the U.S. air Force. No, I'm sorry, U.S. air Force. Sorry, not Mossad. U.S. air Force was found at the C130 destruction site. Her B2 residency permit from Israel was also found. Wow. What do you think about that? So this, this, you know what this reminds me of, by the way? This reminds me of Jimmy Carter. Remember when Jimmy Carter tried to rescue the hostages back in 1979 in Iran and then they all. Yeah, that's what that reminds me of. Oh, we didn't know the sand would get in our helicopter engines. That's what they said. And Trump said today we didn't. The sand was too wet or it was too soft or something. He, he was all over the place. But a lot of people are reporting that this was actually a mission that failed. Let's listen. Behind closed doors, Donald Trump is reportedly

[News Reporter]

weighing a bold and risky option.

[Jimmy Dore]

According to reports, the President is considering

[News Analyst]

a mission to go inside Iran and

[Jimmy Dore]

attempt to take control of nearly 400 kg of uranium. If such a plan were to be

[News Reporter]

executed, American forces would have to enter

[News Analyst]

hostile territory and, and stay there for several days.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, is it a good sign when the news is reporting your secret plan? Is that really a good sign? I would have to say no. Here is. This is from Judge Napolitano Show Judging Freedom podcast. And this is what, this is what people in the know seem to be

[Judge Napolitano]

saying the threats of an operation against nuclear enriched uranium that was supposedly held by the Iran. Obviously there was. Over the weekend, we've seen some failure of an operation to take place. It started off with an F15 coming down on Friday, on Thursday night. By Friday, it was geolocated. The F15 shoot down was near Isfahan. What was it doing near Isfahan? An F15 with apparently very senior crew on board, a colonel. Anyway, then the attempt to rescue it clearly went wrong and it was ambushed and it has led to many aircraft being destroyed. And what seems to have happened is there was an attempt to sort of do two operations together. The extrication of the crew of the F15 and then what Trump has always been seeking, which was in, boom, out operation, that by Saturday morning they will have come back after having entered into the tunnels at Isfahan, where grossly the former head of the IEA say the at least half, maybe a bit more than half of the 60% is sitting in a tunnel waiting to be taken. And it was, you know, the operation, the Maduro type operation that Trump has been seeking was supposed to take place. In the end, it's ended with a whole litany of aircraft that have been destroyed. C130 Hercules aircraft, Airbus, also, a number of these small helicopters have also been destroyed. And so that has failed. It's now very clearly the Iranians can see exactly how the United States was planning special forces operation to seize uranium and they countered it and they ambushed the forces at the time. And that operation is now over. I don't think it can be restarted. It was not popular within the Pentagon in the first place. Trump had been warned against it and has now ended disastrously. There are lots of details of these operations that are not quite clear yet. But the fact that it has been a catastrophe in terms of an attempt to, do, you know, a quick special forces operation like in Venezuela, in one evening out the next day, this was going to happen. They were going to Isfahan. They were just near to Isfahan when they were attacked. They originally landed on an airfield. If you look at the geography of Isfahan, it is completely desert with mountains around it. I mean, there's nothing growing at all. It was a very barren place anyway. It was the site of a disaster. And so now we're back to where we were with Trump saying, well, now you have an ultimatum. There are only a few hours left.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's not the only one saying it. Here's former CIA officer Larry Johnson saying the same thing. Let's listen. By the way, what I don't get is we already destroyed all the Uranium. The first time we won the war. What. What happened? Didn't we do that, didn't we do that back in June? That's what I thought. So basically this rescue operation is a combination of Desert Storm and Wag the Dog. Okay, let's, here's a, here's this former CIA guy.

[Larry Johnson]

Look, the story we've been given, it's a lie on several fronts. The. What this, what that F15 was doing up in that area, what was its mission? I think it was involved in preparation for a ground attack on the Natanz nuclear reactor. And the, when, when, when the plane went down, the number of assets that one of the pilots was picked up immediately. But the other one, they couldn't find him. There's now information online, which I've been assured is accurate, that this pilot was. He apparently hit the ground five miles north and west of the point where he was rescued. He. He climbed, he basically did escape and evasion to get to the top of that mountain to be exfield. Now, now here's where, here's where it really gets strange. It doesn't. You know, the explanations don't make sense. There at that site, there were two C130 aircraft. Those are fixed wing aircraft with four propellers. The Joint Special Operations Command, JSOC, they have.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's what they're saying. That sounds like a failed attempt to either grab their uranium or to bomb some kind of nuclear plant. That's what it looks like. I think I, I'm gonna go with this. I'm gonna go with the ex Mr. CA guy. So the Pentagon says zero deaths. A C130 with no ejection seats exploded midair. Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson isn't buying any of it. A C130 on fire, crashed into the ground. No ejection seats. No one walked away from that. He says the rescue of one downed pilot cost at least five aircraft. The Pentagon's explanation? They destroyed the C130s themselves. The tankers from weeks ago, mid air collision. Every loss gets a convenient story that avoids one admission. Iran can still shoot back. All of this after Trump declared Iranian air defenses completely obliterated. Larry says the lies are off the chart. Let me do one more. Four days ago the Washington Post reported that Trump and the US Military are considering to build an airport inside Iran, seize the enriched uranium and take it out with a transport aircraft. This is exactly what happened. And they used the pilot rescuing claim to cover it. They actually tried this but failed. That sounds more like it. That sounds more like it. And here is what Iran says. Americans, they bomb their own soldiers. You want to hear it? Here it is.

[News Reporter]

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful, we have granted you a clear victory. Following the laughable attempts by America's terrorist army to conduct search and rescue operations for their downed fighter pilot, several enemy aircraft entered our beloved nation of Iran on the morning of April 16th. By God's grace, and with the vigilance and readiness of Islam's warriors in our armed forces. Using electronic warfare, advanced air defense systems, a ground based mosaic defence strategy, and establishing a military and security perimeter, several of These aircraft, including two C130 military transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters, were struck and forced to make emergency landings in an area south of Isfahan. After our heroic Iranian warriors completed the siege of the enemy, the humiliated foe was forced to heavily bomb their own downed aircraft, equipment, commanders and soldiers to prevent the disgrace of President Trump and the hollow facade of their army. The ignorant president, trapped in the war and aggression he started, and the incompetent, cowardly generals of America's terrorist defeated army have clearly understood that any aggression, ground operation or infiltration at any point in Iran will be met with decisive and humiliating defeat by the power of divine soldiers, the iron fists of our warriors and armed forces, the heroic Basij, and the brave and courageous nation of this land. The disgrace of the trapped president and America's defeated army cannot be repaired through word games, media warfare and psychological operations. There is no doubt that all these victories and proud achievements of Iran have been under the special grace and favor of Almighty God. And we are certain that the divine promise will be fulfilled in the final victory of truth over falsehood. And victory comes only from Allah, the Almighty, the all wise.

[Jimmy Dore]

So now that was translated by AI. So I think that's maybe why they got the, that date. It says the day. April 16, 1405. So I think that, that, that, that's most likely what happened. But of course, you know, this is, this could very well be Iranian war propaganda as well. All right, so you got to always take that with a grain of salt. What someone like that says they do their war propaganda, we do our war propaganda. So I wouldn't put too much faith into what this guy's saying, but, but I would put faith into what, what this guy said, and I would put faith into what that guy said. Look, but, and that's a pretty good take too, by Megatron. Nicely done. But let's just, let's just take a look at this. Here's Donald Trump, we got to win so much.

[Guest Commentator 2]

You may even get tired of winning. And you say, please, please.

[Guest Commentator 1]

It's too much winning.

[Guest Commentator 2]

We can't take it anymore, Mr. President.

[Guest Commentator 1]

It's too much.

[Guest Commentator 2]

And I'll say, no, it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to win more. We're going to win more. We're going to win.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's what winning looks like. This is what winning looks like. Ladies and gentlemen, the straight of Hormuz is closed. We, all of our. We're losing, what, 17, 17 Air Force planes, and it's two. Two C130s. They're shooting down our fighter jets. We gotta bomb our own equipment just to get the hell out of there. It's. That doesn't look good. Not good. Not good, as Donald Trump would say. So just to let you know that the, Just to let you know that the entire propaganda around, the entire story around the Iran protests and the people are rising up against their regime. Remember those stories on that. And then Iran is slaughtering their own people. Remember that? Oh, we got. They don't care about. They're killing. They're slaughtering their protesters. We're gonna have to go do something about that. And, you know, if there's, if there's one group of people that Trump really cares about, it's protesters. And so that recently. And so we, as, as this was happening, we were telling you this is war propaganda, that the Mossad and the United States actually instigated these riots or protests inside of Iran. And the reason why there was violence and the Iranian government was shooting people, it was because the Mossad in the United States armed those protesters. They instigated the protests, and then they armed them, and they started shooting Iranian cops. They started blowing up and burning down mosques. And so that's what happened. That's the real story. That's not the story you're going to hear in the media. But remember when the New York Times recently admitted this was true? Right. So again, another conspiracy proven true, that it wasn't a spontaneous uprising. It weren't spontaneous riots. And the reason why the Iranian government was shooting some of the protesters was because they were being armed by Mossad. That. There it is. New York Times has essentially confirmed that Israel played a role in stimulating the violent regime change. Riots that left around 3,000 dead in Iran. Not 30,000, not 80,000, around 3,000 on January 8 and 9. But which were marketed in the west as pro democracy protests. That's not what they were. They were the same thing the United States does All over the place. They take a bunch of money, they take a bunch of weapons, they find people inside of a country, they give them the money, they give them the weapons and they say go nuts and destabilize the country. Well, we did it, we tried to do that in Iran in January. But the thing is, now Trump is admitting it. This is the. Let's, let's listen. This is from. This is on Fox News. Let's listen now. The President also provided new details on what happened earlier this year as the Iranian regime took to the streets and slaughtered. What the President tells me is 45,000 civilians in the. Okay, well, that's just a made up, that's just made up number. It was 3,000 as. Who are you going to believe, Max Blumenthal? Are you going to believe the, the war propaganda by Donald Trump own country

[Pete Hegseth]

after that took place?

[Jimmy Dore]

President Trump told me the United States sent guns to the Iranian protesters. He tells me we sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds. And the President says he thinks the Kurds kept them. He went on to say, we sent

[Pete Hegseth]

guns to the protesters, a lot of them.

[Jimmy Dore]

So we now have, we have now had Israel, Trump and Scott Besant, the Secretary treasury, openly admit two things about the Iran war. US Sanctions policies targeted civilians to instigate economic protests, which is what those were. The Mossad and the CIA funneled guns and had on the ground operatives stirring up violence. Even Israeli media confirmed during the protests that foreign elements are arming the protesters in Iran with live weapons. Ok, so just so you know that. Which means the Iranian government wasn't lying when they said the violent protesters were backed by us and Israel. So is he admitting that the protests that resulted in the loss of life were staged by the CIA? I think that's what he unwittingly admitted. Where are the 40,000 dead Iranian crowd right now? Where are they? So the protest was an act of provocation and the Iranian government was right to deal with it as that. Yes, yes. In fact, if you want to see Trump admit it, but with his own mouth, here it is. Here's Donald Trump. This was yesterday at the Easter Island. I like that tie he's got on, by the way. It's a nice tie. Here we go.

[Guest Commentator 2]

Out in the streets. They will be immediately shot. They don't have guns. You know, we sent some guns, but the group that was supposed to give, which I said would happen to my people, I said it, I called it. Exactly. We sent guns, a lot of guns. They were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back against these thugs. You know what happened? The people that they sent them to kept them because they said, what a beautiful gun. I think I'll keep it. So, so I'm very upset with a certain group of people and they're going to pay a big price for that. But the Iranian people will fight back as soon as they know they're not going to be shot and as soon as they can get weapons.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, that's not, that's not happening. The Iranian people, they're, they're out in the streets showing a solidarity every night, even while we bomb them. So that's actually what's happening. Imagine if somebody was bombing our country. Could you imagine people would be like, yes, keep bombing our country because we don't like our governments. As much as the Democrats and Rachel Maddow and Liz Cheney hate Donald Trump, I don't even think they would be cheering on, bombing our own country to get a regime change in the United States. Some Curtis factions are responding to the remarks from President Trump. We did not receive any weapons during the time of the demonstrations in Iran. That's the PDKI representative to the USA told Fox News. Fox also reached out to additional Kurdish parties for comment. So sounds like Trump's making this up. It's incredible that Trump would admit to this because the Iran killed peaceful protesters narrative was pretty much the only moral fig leaf the pro war camp could still hide behind. In effect, he's confirming, no, I assure you, my war is 100% indefensible, zero moral basis whatsoever. That's basically what he's saying. It's also yet another immensely depressing illustration of the extent to which we're still all manipulated by the media. Which mainstream outlet globally questioned the peaceful protesters framing? Well, no, no mainstream outlet. We did it immediately here, of course. Other places in the gray zone. Max Blumenthal. Which mainstream outlet globally? None. The Iranian government kept saying this wasn't true, but which outlet even entertained the possibility that they, that the Iranians were telling the truth? I can't think of one. And he goes on, not one, not one mainstream news outlet. As far as I could see, this was universally dismissed as Iranian propaganda. As is sadly, almost always the case. The media just ran the US State Department script. The Iranian regime is massacring innocent civilians for wanting freedom. Remember, that's what George Bush and Dick Cheney used to say when they wanted to go into, they hate us for our freedom. Really. Maybe they hate us because we've been overthrowing their governments, installing puppet Dictators that oppress their people. You think maybe that's why. Maybe that's why they hate us, because we're propping up a genocidal regime in Israel. You think maybe that's why they. You think maybe because we did an occupation of Afghanistan for 20 years, you think maybe that's it? How about we overthrew their government in Iran in 1953 and then installed the Shah of Iran, who was a horrible, brutal dictator? Maybe that's why the re the ridiculously cartoonish narrative that women just want to show their hair and get killed for that. Except we now have the President of the United States confirming that the protesters were in fact sent a lot of guns, making them actual US Armed insurgents. Imagine if you lived. Imagine if Iran. If we found out that there were protesters who were shooting cops in the United States, they were burning down churches in the United States. Imagine if Iran was sending. We found out they were sending the protesters who were shooting cops in the United States and burning down churches. Imagine if we found out Iran sent them the guns to do it. Imagine that. How would we respond? Imagine that. Except now we have the President of the United States confirming that the protesters were in fact sent a lot of guns. Hopefully it finally shames the media into doing the bare minimum that is their actual job. Treat Western government claims with the same skepticism they reflexively apply to official enemies. But I'm not holding my breath. I'm not holding my breath either. The US media is 100% Zionist, captured and also captured by our own State Department and our own military industrial complex, as is msnbc. They're called Ms. Now, which stands for multiple Sclerosis Now. So, yeah, so there it is. Uh, we already covered that. The New York Times admitted it. We already covered that. Israel actually admitted it. But now we are covering that. Donald Trump is saying it out loud in front of cameras, into microphones. So the whole idea, the whole moral justification for doing anything we're doing over there is completely out the window because we were the ones causing the riots. We were the ones instigating them, and then we were the ones arming them. Imagine. I just can't just. Just imagine for a second if, if that was reversed, that there were armed protests in the United States, shooting cops, burning churches down, and we found out Iran was setting. But just imagine that. Do you think that would make us want to go, oh, yeah, thanks. Thanks for helping overthrow our government? No. So the idea that Iran wants us. People of Iran want us to do this is sophomore at best and just a Clown show. It's just war propaganda. And it is the thing that is sad, as Arnold points out, that people still fall for it. What do you. When are people going to stop falling for this? They, they. I thought it was over with Iraq. I thought there when we said that Saddam Hussein was a threat and he could send a nuclear bomb towards our way and he's got weapons of mass destruction and we found out that was all lies. I thought that was the end of it. But it wasn't because Barack Obama went and did it to Libya. Oh, oh, Gaddafis. He's slaughtering his own people. We, we have to go save them. I thought it would be over then or same thing with Syria. Oh, Assad is slaughtering his own people. We have to go save them. And the way we save them is we, we, we b backed Al Qaeda and now Al Qaeda is in charge of Syria. That's how we saved them. I thought that would be over. It's not. I thought it would be over when people would saw this genocide in Gaza that we supported, funded and made possible. And all the lies that we said surrounding that, you know, the, the head, the, the beheaded babies and all the grapes that happened on October 7th and all that stuff, it's not. It's amazing how well it still works, how people are still so willing to accept this kind of propaganda. It's, it's, it's mind boggling to me that Americans are still so willing to hate on people who never did anything to them and believe the worst things about them, even though they've been shown for at least the last 25 years how unbelievably evil. Bellicose. There's that word again. Our own government is and how they, how everything they say about war with the Middle east countries is just a lie. I don't know if you guys remember, this was a very famous video that went wrong and this is a, an Israeli stealing land from a Palestinian. And he's basically saying if, if I don't do it, somebody else will. Let's see. Jakob, you know this is not your house. Yes, but if I go, you don't go back. So what's the problem? Why are you yelling at me?

[John Radcliffe (CIA Director)]

I didn't do this.

[Jimmy Dore]

I didn't do this. It's easy to yell at me, but I didn't do this. You are stealing my house and if I don't steal it, someone else is going to steal it. No, no one, no one is allowed to steal. So he's like, ah, if I don't steal it. Somebody else is gonna steal it.

[Guest Commentator 3]

She called him by name. They're neighbors.

[Jimmy Dore]

They know each other.

[Guest Commentator 3]

What a piece of garbage this guy is. So you gotta talk to your neighbor by the name of Yaakov. You know, it's my house. You're still, oh, someone's gonna steal your house. I wonder where terrorism comes from.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's what they do. All that's. That's just the regular M.O. can you imagine that? Somebody coming and stealing your house and trying to. Anyway, so breaking Jews in Manhattan are stealing homes of black people through deed theft. Let's look. This is real. Oh, this is.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Well, who? The kabad people or the. Who is it? What, like. Is it like a Lakewood, New Jersey, community of hayseeds?

[Jimmy Dore]

So let's watch.

[News Analyst]

Deed theft, where homeowners are essentially tricked out of their properties, has been a pervasive problem for a few years now. And now this group is rallying outside the governor's office demanding that she do something about it.

[Jimmy Dore]

My father and I worked really hard. We scraped and we saved and we purchased our home legally and legitimately.

[News Analyst]

Rachel Cyprian was shaking mad as she spoke with us outside the governor's office about the devastating impact of her 15 year fight to reclaim ownership of her Brooklyn home following deed theft.

[Jimmy Dore]

It leads to homelessness, it leads to depression, it leads to all sorts of failures. Here we are, black people in this country now for over 400 years, and we're constantly starting from square one.

[News Analyst]

Deed theft is when a property's title is transferred away from the rightful owner, generally due to deceptive or predatory tactics. Frequently the targets are seniors and communities of color.

[Jimmy Dore]

What do we want?

[Guest Commentator 1]

Deed theft. And when do we want it?

[Jimmy Dore]

Now.

[News Analyst]

Now Brooklyn city Councilman Chiyo Se is pressing the governor to put a moratorium on evictions where there's a deed theft case pending or being investigated. We are pleading to the governor, to the head of the state, to do right by all of us, to do right by black New Yorkers, and to do your job. During the moratorium. Chi oce and other elected leaders are demanding legislative fixes like more support for homeowners in eviction court, special investigative units inside district attorney's offices, a public database of shell companies associated with deed theft, and more. In response, a spokeswoman for the governor's office did not mention an immediate moratorium, but said the governor has taken a number of steps to push back against deed theft. Quote, no New Yorker should be cheated out of the opportunity to keep their home. Which is why Governor Hochul has proposed $40 million in her state budget for the homeowner protection program and why she has led the way in enacting strong protections to empower homeowners and crack down on illegal deed. But advocates say they will press on for more reform and that immediate moratorium now.

[Jimmy Dore]

Moratorium now.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Governor Hochul, it is now at your door.

[Pete Hegseth]

What are you going to do to

[Jimmy Dore]

keep black families in their home? That's it. That's all I want to hear about.

[News Analyst]

Between 2014 and 2023, there have been roughly 3,500 complaints of deed theft in New York City alone. So we will continue following these proposals and continue to follow up with the governor's office and councilman's office as this moves forward. In midtown, Henry Rossoff picks 11 news.

[Jimmy Dore]

So is new York being governed by pizza rat now or is so wait,

[Guest Commentator 3]

how do we know that it was the Jewish community and this is not just blood libel that was doing this, Jimmy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, let's watch. So I got this video. This is an is Israeli man tries to seize a house in New York City like it's the West Bank. Let's watch. You want to watch? Here's a little bit. Here's a little short clip.

[Guest Commentator 1]

These guys are trying to scam my boy out his property. Look, it's the second time he came around talking about he's trying to get him.

[News Reporter]

I came to do inspection of the house.

[Guest Commentator 1]

Ain't no inspection. You don't own the house. Get out of here. You don't own nothing. They get court ordered.

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Guest Commentator 1]

Get out of here. Fake ass pull order. Look at this ass scam. This guy been here for years. Get out of here, bro. Get out of here. He's born here. Get out of here. When they call the cops. You came. The cops came. They did nothing. Get out of here, yo. Oh, yeah, I don't know if you know this guy trying to scam. We not playing over here. We not playing. We don't give a about that little fake ass hat. We knock his hat off. We not playing. You heard me. We not playing. I understand. I'm trying to play. I'm trying to get him getting the out of here before he get himself hurt out here. You heard? We don't give a about that hat. Yeah, we don't give a about that hat. We're not

[Guest Commentator 3]

a self control on that black guy's part because for a guy to stand there in that pose while he tries to steal your house and. And the guy only has something to say about your hat. That's it. That's a lot of self control.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, I think that apartment was promised to him 2000 years ago. I don't know if you know, probably. So that's. And. And you wonder. You wonder why anti Semitism might be finding a rebirth. You wonder why. And I know Jews who don't go along with this kind of garbage. Most of the Jews I know don't go along with this.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Most of them don't like this dude.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this.

[Guest Commentator 3]

So that's. Yeah. There's a coalition though. Much the way Britain drew those fake lines around Iraq and everything thing as colonialists. The Zionists did that around Jews because Jews are not this guy. They're not all this guy. So it's kind of unfair to have them all lumped in with people do like this.

[Jimmy Dore]

But that's such a. That's such a sexy look, isn't it?

[Guest Commentator 3]

That such a. I was going to say he. He really is wearing the hell out of those slacks.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, don't you think they should update their. Their garb at least a little or something? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe I'm worried about the wrong thing. You didn't like the Blues Brothers, but let me just. Deed theft is also known as home title theft or deed fraud. It's a form of real estate fraud where someone illegally transfers the ownership, the title or deed of a property to themselves or a third party without the rightful owner's knowledge or consent. The goal is usually to extract the home's equity by selling it, taking out loans or mortgages against it, renting it out, or using it in other schemes before disappearing. It's a serious crime involving forgery, identity theft and falsification of public records. Though the forged deed itself is typically invalid in court, resolving it can still be costly, right, time consuming and disruptive for victims. Wow. That even. They didn't even bother calling it eminent domain anymore. They just come out and say they're stealing it. At least bank robbers have the decency to say exactly what they're doing.

[Guest Commentator 3]

I got to give it to that Jewish guy. Had a lot of chutzpah to show up like that with a fake deed. I mean, and stand there like this. I think I could have your house.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, I know. So here's the typical steps in how deed theft works. Deed theft schemes often follow a similar pattern. Exploiting public property records and weaknesses in identity verification. Targeting a property Fraudsters look for vulnerable homes such as second or vacation homes, rental properties, vacant or unoccupied houses, properties owned by elderly Deceased or absentee owners, often those with clear title and substantial equity, no outstanding mortgage. They pull basic details from public records, from tax assessments, property listings or online sources. 2. Gathering personal information. Scammers collect the owner's details through public records, social media, data breaches, dark web or phishing or mail theft. Key info includes full name, Social Security number, date of birth and sometimes signatures. This enables identity impersonation. They also create forged documents using the stolen info. They prepare fake transfer documents, commonly quick claim deeds, which transfers interest without warranties and are easy to forge. Warranty of grant deeds. They forge the owner's signature, create fake IDs, for example driver's licenses, Social Security cards, and may use a dishonest notary or fake notary stamp to make it look legitimate. In some cases, they impersonate the owner or claim to represent them. They also the fake deed is filed with the county recorder's office, register of deeds or equivalent local authority. Once recorded, it creates the appearance of a legitimate ownership transfer in public records. This step can happen quickly and often goes unnoticed initially, especially for absentee owners with ownership on record. The fraudsters can then sell the property, sometimes to unwitting buyers via all cash deals to take out mortgages, home equity loans or lines of credit against it, rent it out or collect payments and use it for money laundering or as collateral and other schemes. When loans go unpaid, the real owner may face foreclosure notices, liens and eviction attempts. Victims often discover the issue only when bills stop arriving, strange mail appears or they try to sell or refinance.

[Guest Commentator 3]

So yeah, these areas they're talking about, I was looking up is tripled deed theft since in the last couple of years. And the areas here's how we know that it's orthodox Zionists doing it is because those areas are where they would do that Bed Stuy, Bushwick. All the places that were getting gentrified when I was living there, like Bushwick. So that those are all the. I gotta say, you know, when I live in Bushwick, my landlord that I had Alan, who was orthodox Jew, was a very fair, not kind of scumbag guy, and he had the curlicues and shit. But things really kicked up a notch, haven't they? And I'm surprised with mom dummy, the Muslim communist in office.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, oh, yeah, he's definitely a communist. Sure. So you know they're coming for your kidneys next, right?

[Guest Commentator 3]

You know, you know, that's a thing that's been an ongoing problem in New York. And Amy Shanker comic almost got her I'm not making this up. Organs stolen. Two strange women wearing UPS outfits and a guy in the background chasing her. And it sounded unbelievable. I looked it up. During the pandemic, they had a rash of organ thefts in New York. Well, some made up. That's real.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wasn't there a string? Why does the number 19. 19 rabbis got caught organ trafficking in New Jersey. Right.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Okay, so I think that's Lakewood from by where I'm from. And I think it was even like grow. Yeah, it was definitely organ theft.

[Jimmy Dore]

And even a mayor was involved of some small town in Lakewood. Is that it? Lakewood.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Oh, I'm almost positive it's Lakewood.

[Judge Napolitano]

And that's.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Remember Cars for Kids commercial 1-877-cars- for kids.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Guest Commentator 3]

And you'd be like, why would a kid have a car? Well, that was chabad. That's a chabad community. You know, like the Moonies of Jews.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, okay. So there you go. It's not just in Israel. I really.

[Guest Commentator 3]

Well, it's in so Bed Stuy. That's where you probably get away with stuff like that. But I'm curious, like who is doing that the most? Who are big real estate type people? That. It's not black people stealing. It's not the Muslims doing it, is it?

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

[Kevin Spacey]

Hello, Jimmy Dore, this is Kevin Spacey.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ah, disgraced actor Kevin Spacey, acquaintance of the show. Thanks for calling.

[Kevin Spacey]

You're welcome.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, to what do we owe this pleasure, sir?

[Kevin Spacey]

Well, Jimmy, I just wanted to call your show because you've always been so generous to me and giving me access to your audience. And no other news outlet will have me on or even take a message from me.

[Jimmy Dore]

What did you want to convey to my audience exactly?

[Kevin Spacey]

To dispel these ridiculous rumors about my death, of course.

[Jimmy Dore]

What rumors? I haven't heard anything about the rumors that you are unfortunately not true.

[Kevin Spacey]

Very funny. As I'm sure everyone is aware at the beginning of this current war with Iran, a rumor started to circulate on social media that I had been killed in an airstrike on Tel Aviv. I'm happy to report that no such thing occurred and I was safely inside a bomb shelter.

[Jimmy Dore]

I thought only Jewish Israelis were allowed in the bomb shelters.

[Kevin Spacey]

Turns out they make exceptions for world famous Israelophilic sex crime refugee.

[Jimmy Dore]

Ah, thank goodness.

[Kevin Spacey]

I know, right? Anyway, I'm alive. So this was all fake news?

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't think it was any kind of news at all. Actually. This is the first I've even hearing about it.

[Kevin Spacey]

Jimmy, this was extensively reported upon and debunked by the Hindustan Times over three weeks ago. Jimmy, you should really expand your horizons when it comes to your news sources.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, hey, I'll add them to the list. What else is going on with you, Kevin Spacey?

[Kevin Spacey]

Oh, the usual. Just settled a few civil cases out of court.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, let me guess. Sex abuse cases?

[Kevin Spacey]

How did you know that? Kreskin? How did you know?

[Jimmy Dore]

Just call it a hunch.

[Kevin Spacey]

Well, as you probably know, or should, I have defeated all my accusers in court up to now. However, my lawyer warned these three bitter little twinks might actually have a case. Oh, well, happily, I had a much more satisfying day in court a few weeks ago.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, really? What was that?

[Kevin Spacey]

Jimmy, do you remember how in 2017, I was accused by various people of sexual misconduct and fired from the hit Netflix show House of Cards?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, of course. But what does all this have to do with living in Israel now during the war with Iran?

[Kevin Spacey]

I'm getting to that. Okay, so by firing me and pulling the plug on the season, the production company MRC lost $100 million.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow.

[Kevin Spacey]

Good. I said, hope it hurts.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow.

[Kevin Spacey]

But then they sued their insurance company, saying they should have been compensated fully because their insurance policy for House of Cards included a clause covering debilitating illness of a primary actor.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, okay.

[Kevin Spacey]

All right, well, the same people who fired me all of a sudden claim that I had an illness. Sex addiction, and that was why they had to end the show. So the insurance company should pay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, my God.

[Kevin Spacey]

I know. Shameful. But luckily, I was called to the stand by the defense. Oh, and Jimmy, revenge is sweet. Sex addiction, I said. Never heard of her. Sure, I went to rehab. It was for some knee shit or some shit. And besides, for that clause to be met, I would have to be having so much sex that it interfered with production, which was unfortunately not the case.

[Jimmy Dore]

I see.

[Kevin Spacey]

And a few days ago, the jury returned a verdict of fuck you to the people who fired me and ruined my life. Glad I could return the favor.

[Jimmy Dore]

Fellas, I hate to say it, but that is kind of awesome in a way.

[Kevin Spacey]

Thank you. And the best part was, since it was a legal battle between a Hollywood production company and a Hollywood insurance company, no matter which way it went, my Israeli benefactors would be happy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, weren't you going to get back to the Iran war topic?

[Kevin Spacey]

I was lying. I mean, okay, I guess, whatever. The war has been a huge success so far, and they can even stop now and still proclaim victory. The Iranian regime is still more or less intact, the Straits of Hormuz are now closed to international shipping. This is a huge win for Trump, in my opinion.

[Jimmy Dore]

Do you really think that?

[Kevin Spacey]

Of course not. But kissing his ass might be my only way back into making money in the States.

[Jimmy Dore]

I thought you liked it over there.

[Kevin Spacey]

Are you kidding? Yeah. Oh, I love having shekels sarcastically thrown at me while singing across the sea in a tiny cabaret stage. I love it. Also, there are bombs here sometimes. Awesome. Dude, it rocks. Seriously, get me the fuck out of here.

[Jimmy Dore]

I want to come home. Okay, well, best of luck with that, Kevin Spacey, but we got a. We got a show to do. Take care. Goodbye.

[Kevin Spacey]
