Jimmy Dore
Come see us on tour in Rutherford, New Jersey, New York, New York, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Appleton, Wisconsin, Rosemont, Chicago, Louisville, Kentucky and Fort Wayne, Indiana. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy Dore. Who's this?
Andrew Cuomo
Hello, Jimmy, this is Andrew Cuomo.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. Thanks for calling in.
Andrew Cuomo
Jimmy. My days as a disgraced former governor are behind me. I am now a yet to be disgraced mayoral candidate for New York City. But either way, you're welcome.
Jimmy Dore
Well, how's your campaign going, buddy?
Andrew Cuomo
Jimmy, it couldn't be going any better. And I'll be honest with you, I'm having the time of my life. My fellow New Yorkers are the funniest, most vibrant, down to earth people in the world and it is such a joy to be able to meet them and talk with them about their hopes and and concerns. And I've been grabbing a little ass to you.
Jimmy Dore
Sure, sure. Hey, are you running up against any static with the voters since you're running independent?
Andrew Cuomo
Not really. New York voters aren't focused on party as much as who they consider to be real New Yorkers. And as a third generation Queens resident, I feel pretty secure in that regard. Even though I am not running as a Democrat.
Jimmy Dore
Because you were handily defeated in the primary by newcomer Zolof Mondavi.
Andrew Cuomo
Yes, that is why we all know that Jimmy. Yes, Mr. Mandani came around promising a lot of unrealistic freebies and that appealed to the very young demographic that came out the polls on primary day and did not reflect the city as a whole.
Jimmy Dore
Do you see him as your primary opponent?
Andrew Cuomo
Yes. I look forward to beating him in November after a very respectful campaign where we lay out our respective platforms in a very civil manner.
Jimmy Dore
Okay, okay.
Andrew Cuomo
And between you and me, I don't really think Mr. Mom knows what he's getting into when it comes to a New York City general election.
Jimmy Dore
Well, I guess we'll just have to see. Hold on, I got another call coming in. Jimmy Dore here. Jimmy Dore show speaking. Who's calling?
Andrew Cuomo
Hi, this is Zoran Mandani. It's nice to meet you.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, hello, Mr. Bondani. Thanks for calling the show.
Andrew Cuomo
I'm running for mayor of New York so that I can be mayor for all New Yorkers. Isn't that awesome? Oh, brother. Hi, Andrew. Oh. Oh, we're doing that. Okay.
Jimmy Dore
Hi, Zoran. How are you?
Andrew Cuomo
I'm doing awesome. Thanks so much for asking. So, like, how many TikTok followers do you have? Your campaign account? Right now we're up to 1.3 million. Zoron. I. I don't know that information off the top of my head. I'm. I'm sure I could find out for you. Oh, you gotta know that that's like the most important thing.
Jimmy Dore
Mr. Cuomo, looks like you're hovering around 7,800 followers on TikTok.
Andrew Cuomo
Oh, my God. I wouldn't want to know that either. No offense, but, like, that's a real small number of followers. Honestly, it might be better to just not have a TikTok. Okay, Zoron, let me ask you some questions. What kind of New Yorker would you say you are? How does being a New Yorker frame your identity? That's actually a really good question. So I was born in Uganda and came here when I was seven. So I'm an immigrant like so many other New Yorkers. My father came here to teach at Columbia. His area is colonial and post colonial structures, and we lived in the Lower east side of Manhattan. I was exposed to Marxist writers at a very young age, which made me a communist like so many other New Yorkers. And my mother always reminded me that I'm Ugandan and Indian and Muslim, but not American. That's what's so amazing about New York City. It's technically in America, but it's really an international city. It belongs to everyone. So I'm a citizen of the world, not an American. Okay, Zoran, I want you to understand, or actually, I don't want you to understand, is that on election day, the people who are going to come out to vote, the real New Yorkers, not the primary voters, the real people whom you have never seen or met or care about. These people are going to care way less about fucking TikTok than they are about the things that just came out of your mouth.
Jimmy Dore
What do you have to say to that, Mr. Bandani?
Andrew Cuomo
Please, call me Zoron.
Jimmy Dore
Jimmy.
Andrew Cuomo
I'd say that with all due respect, Andrew Cuomo's way of doing things is over. His conception of what New York City even is. It's like a dinosaur's. New York is a diverse international city full of young people who are beginning to question everything from how to fix food deserts to their own genital preferences.
Jimmy Dore
Jesus.
Andrew Cuomo
Frankly, our campaign speaks. Our campaign speaks to them, not Andrew's. Yeah, genital preferences. Okay. Zoran, do you realize the size of the Jewish population in this city? And do you know the chances of anyone who has sided with the Palestinians over the Israelis of becoming mayor of New York? Actually, I got more of the Jewish vote than you did.
Jimmy Dore
Wait, wait, is that true?
Andrew Cuomo
Yeah. The numbers are clear. Yes, Andrew, you got the older Zionist Jewish vote, but I got the younger vote. And soon the Jewish population via demographic change just won't be solidly Zionist anymore. Yet. Just another way. You are living in the past, Andrew. You little fucking prick. Now you listen to me. Do you know what your problem is? Not once in your privileged little life, your international three weddings around the world, having non job, having briefly a hip hop rapper life, have you ever had to deal with a fucking bull. And I could tell from your limp hand and your shifty eyes that have problems making eye contact that you've never been faced down by an alpha male. And that is going to change. And I look forward to seeing how a 33 year old quote unquote man deals with that for the first time in his life. Okay? Threatening vibes. It's giving aggression. It is giving aggression. You're right, Sauron. It gives aggression. And you were also right to hide behind that snarky limp wristed lingo of the pronoun parade that is your voting base because it's all you have. Actually, what our campaign has, Andrew, is. You know what? Just shut the fuck up. I don't even want to hear it anymore. Your ass is mine in November. Go whine to your fans about it, falafel breath. Jimmy, this call has become like insanely toxic. So for self care reasons, I'm gonna hang up. Sorry if that's a contra cont. Confront confrontal posture, but I can't do this emotional labor anymore.
Jimmy Dore
Emotional labor. Emotional labor and self care. He hung up. You scared him away, Governor.
Andrew Cuomo
Jimmy. I'm gonna fucking kill him, Governor. With my bare fucking hand.
Jimmy Dore
Please don't kill him. I'm enjoying this way too much.
Andrew Cuomo
You want to know the truth? So am I. I haven't hated someone from the bottom of my burning soul like this in decades. It makes me feel alive. I'm so happy about this hatred that I have for this man. And I know if I lose, I'll hate him even more. If I win, I'll sort of forget about him and that I'll lose this wonderful feeling. I don't know what to do. I have a lot of thinking to do here, Jimmy. I better go. He called me a dinosaur. I love hating this little prick. I think I'm in love.
Zoran Mandani
Establishment media sucks August lighting so good luck bullshit we can't afford why fomenting.
Jimmy Dore
This watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the.
Zoran Mandani
Medium and hit some head on it's.
Jimmy Dore
The chimney door show. So you know how we said Oct. 7 that when Hamas attacked Israel that that was actually at least half engineered by Benjamin Netanyahu? Because he made sure that Hamas, which is the way more radical and militant group in Palestine, was the one that was funded over the plo, which were secular and not as militaristic. So he wanted to make sure Hamas was propped up so that they could always say we can't negotiate their terrorists. So he made sure they kept funding Hamas and not the plo. And so when the attack happened, where were they? The most surveilled place in the world is Gaza. And Israel didn't respond for hours and hours to the attacks.
Zoran Mandani
Tiny Israel, not a lot of distance to drive.
Jimmy Dore
That's a very tiny.
Zoran Mandani
Told the ravers to go ahead. It's totally cool to rave. Next.
Jimmy Dore
Go ahead. And that's right. Even though the security people warned the Israel military we shouldn't have this rave. They said go ahead with it because they wanted this to happen so they could use this as a pretext the October 7 attacks to go in and wipe out the people of Gaza and take over their land. That's what this was always about.
Zoran Mandani
Israelis know this by the way and but they'll hide it from you because they still want your money.
Jimmy Dore
So here Israel Exposed tweets out this video of this IDF soldier telling the truth about it. He says that we received orders from the Golani Brigade commander on October 7 to cancel all patrols along the Gaza border from 5:20am to 9:00am Israeli soldier testifies to the Knesset committee. So they were told to stand down and let's listen to it. So I'm just going to play this newsfist Happening TV got the English translation of this. So let's. You can turn this down and I'll just say it. So 6:30 in the morning on October 7th you're at the Outpost. For us, October 7th starts before 6:30, says this guy. I was a soldier in the mortar platoon of the Golani Brigade's 13th Battalion. At that night, myself, Yodam Sur, and Sergeant Tamar Ben Yehuda, may he rest in peace. The three of us were pulling an all nighter. On Sabbath and holidays, we let ourselves pull an all nighter until the dawn stand to. And you know, we in the mortar platoon have time to sleep until the next stand to. So at 5:20am we were sitting by the radio so as not to wake the radio operator. And my deputy battalion commander, who was also seriously injured and thank God he survived, suddenly gets on the radio with a strange message. All stations. I don't know why, I don't know how. Something along those lines. No patrol on the fence. And this was at 5:20 in the morning. All stations are to hold their positions. So in terms of ground forces, we don't have anything. Hang on, let me back this up. So in terms of ground forces and Orev, we don't have anything significant. The brigade issued a directive for our forces pending a situation assessment until 9am so they're given a. They're given a directive to stand down, don't go do your patrols. Why would they do that? Wait, I can't.
Zoran Mandani
There's a bunch of them saying it.
Jimmy Dore
What's that?
Zoran Mandani
There's a bunch of IDF saying this. When this happened, this is the most surveilled place on earth.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Zoran Mandani
How in the hell would this happen? It's all people from the IDF going, what is this?
Jimmy Dore
What exactly? So no vehicle is to approach Burma. I'll say it again, until nine in the morning, pending the situation assessment. No, no vehicle is to go down to Burma. We're in rare staging areas, a brigade level arrangement. I don't know exactly why, I don't ask too many questions. That's the directive. That's what we do a little before it all begins. And Tomer gives us this look, like what? And you know, we're simple soldiers, just combatants, not commanders or officers who can ask questions. So when they were given this directive to not do your patrol and stand down, they were looking at each other like what? But they're not officers, so they just have to follow orders. That's what he's saying. It's an order from the deputy. It's an order from the deputy deputy battalion chief, deputy battalion commander. We take orders and don't ask questions. A routine passing of an order and sure enough, an hour later, at 6:30am suddenly, sirens. I've been living with this since October 7th. That's what he says. And I was very afraid to talk about this. And when I got to the Knesset, which is like the Israeli Parliament, when I got to the Knesset, it was after a period when I asked some senior army officer what actually happened. And there were some who initially told me, listen, there was a sniper threat from Nukba on the fence, so we didn't want to send soldiers so they wouldn't get hit. So that's a lie. And then over time, it kind of dawned on me and I said, wait, if there's a sniper threat, how can it be that I. How about it be that I, who am only 200 meters from the fence? How can it be that I am only 200 meters from the fence, don't know that there's a threat? So if there really is a threat, I would be the first guy to know this. How? How can it be that my friends are fighting without a vest, so we should have bulletproof vests in their underwear and socks? And nobody knows that something. Hang on, I back it up. And nobody knows that something is happening. We're only 2 to 300 meters from the fence. And then that was on my mind again. And really I was suddenly invited to the Knesset. I felt that this was the real opportunity to open this subject and talk about it and to actually understand what happened there. And look, like you're saying to a lot of people it sounds strange and what actually happened there. And we're going back to this again. And I'll be honest, Hilla, he says, we. I've been living with this, some kind of hole in my brain since October 7th, that something in my heart feels to me that, listen, I don't know what was there. I want to understand what happened. Like, everyone, look, the deputy battalion commander wasn't a sniper threat because the deputy battalion commander says, I have no idea why. And. And a sniper threat happens many times. He says this in real time at 5, 20 in the morning. It's not like someone told him to say that he received an order without an explanation. And it's right. So we as soldiers, when we hear this thing, then of course we follow orders. It did sound a little strange to us. But soldiers in the field, and we've been on this line for almost half a year and a few losses here and there. You know, from a loss to October 7, there are cool losses. Yes, from breaches of order. Right? From breaches of order to a situation to events like those of October 7th, we're talking here about, you know, something that's surreal, that's very extreme, to think that one day we would get to this. To think you. Have you talked amongst yourselves? Since he's asked, he says, after it was published, so whoever was there, did you talk amongst yourselves, the rest of you? And he says, so of course we talked about it. We talked about it many times and we tried to look into it. And I told you what all sorts of military people told me. I thought many times about talking about it, not talking about it. And at some point I also started to deny my own logic. Wait, if they tell me there's no. There's no sniping, as you say, how is there a threat? If he said, I don't know why and how? And also, you know, I said, maybe, maybe, I don't know, maybe it was that. And suddenly the recording came out. You know, I have a responsibility here. I can't talk about something like that on television. And there are consequences to what I say. So suddenly this thing popped up and this recording was published. And what can I tell you? Like me, like you, like all the people of Israel, I want to understand what happened on October 7th. I lost many, many friends. I was seriously injured. Every day I meet with the families, with the parents, and really, you don't know how painful it is to handle it and support them. And people see me. Shalom. The ones who lifted the wounded, they don't know how many things I'm trying to do. I wake up to a war every day. I'm trying to reinvent myself, I'm trying to help these families. Every day is a war in itself. Also, fighting without a leg, you. Yes, the injury, exactly. And also to reinvent yourself, to move forward in life, not to dwell on this. So I guess he's missing a leg. You know, in the end, I was given my life. I also need to move on with my life. I can't stay stuck in the same place. I'm missing a leg. Poor me. I wanted. I want to understand what happened there. And suddenly this thing that came out, this statement, I don't know what statement he's talking about, it scares me. It scares me a lot. I hope we all have clearer answers later on and not to jump to conclusions and not to worry an entire country, but it is very important that there are unequivocal answers here. And whoever needs to pay a price should pay the price. So many murdered and kidnapped. It's something that I, as a soldier who served in The Gaza sector. I'm telling you, for every little thing we would do. Jump to the fence. Every little thing. They would jump to the fence. For every little thing. It scares me. It scares me to think what happened there. So he's saying so you could talk.
Zoran Mandani
Man's hole.
Jimmy Dore
What's that?
Zoran Mandani
Can I just fill this young man's hole in real quick? That came out wrong. But he said he has a hole in his brain thinking about it.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Zoran Mandani
So let me explain to this guy. Your leaders sacrificed your friends and your leg.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Zoran Mandani
Netanyahu wouldn't go to prison.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Zoran Mandani
Because then scumbags. And they don't care about you, and that's why they have you guarding a concentration camp. Except on the days when they tell you to stand down so you could be killed by the people from the concentration camp that they armed to make this happen.
Jimmy Dore
Yes, that's exactly right. So Benjamin Netanyahu made sure Hamas got armed, made sure they got money from Qatar, made sure that they were propped up instead of the plo, which was a lot, was less violent, not terrorists. And. And then they told you to stand down so that the. The people that they armed Hamas took, could then attack you and kill a bunch of your friends and people so they could use that to, A, keep Benjamin Netanyahu out of prison, and B, so they could then take over Gaza and steal all their land. That's what this is about. So you were lied to. Again. It's almost. It's not a complete false flag, but it's very close.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah, well, I. I mean, a false flag means what, they just attack the.
Jimmy Dore
So a false flag is when they. So it would be like if Israel attacked Israel and blamed it on Hamas, but it was actually Hamas, but they were funded by Israel and armed by Israel, and then they were allowed to make that attack because their orders came down to stand down.
Zoran Mandani
You know, in the war on terror, we would say they did it in the war on terror if Israel funded Hamas. Yeah, we would say Israel caused it. And we would freeze their bank accounts, I thought, for the war on terror.
Jimmy Dore
Right. So they use the same logic, why Iran is our enemy, because they are supposedly funding terror groups. Well, Israel funded Hamas, so we should cut off Israel. We should call. They should be responsible. So if we hold Iran responsible, we should hold them responsible. So let's. Let's see. I have another. So original pollywog says it seems like the leadership called the patrols to clear them out, which allowed the enemy to penetrate the border. You have to ask yourself, why would the leadership do this? Anyone with half a brain knows this was a Red flag event in any order in order to justify the genocide of Palestine and flatten their whole country. Anyone with half a brain, no, you could have a hole in your brain like this guy claims he has and you would know that this was a Red Flag event.
Zoran Mandani
A red flag?
Jimmy Dore
What's that?
Zoran Mandani
What's a red flag?
Jimmy Dore
I don't know. This never made sense to me. About October 7th. This guy says Israel has the most secure, most armed and the most high tech border surveillance system in the world. They can detect a bug approaching the border from five miles away. Yet Hamas with loud and slow paragliders slipped in without a problem. It's because that was a design. That plan was designed to let them slip in and to do this. That's why. So that's why that soldier is like, I don't know what happened. We were all looking. Why wouldn't. What when there's a sniper? Well, we would know. I'm right here. I would know. If there's a sniper, how do they know? They're not here. I'm here.
Zoran Mandani
And then the Hannibal directive took care of the hot. Because those cars didn't blow up from no hang glider guns.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Zoran Mandani
Okay, so there were way too many hostages taken for their liking because they would have tried to kill every last hostage before they let Hamas take them.
Jimmy Dore
That's right.
Zoran Mandani
And they're going to starve their own hostages to death now?
Jimmy Dore
Yes. What?
Zoran Mandani
Well, maybe he'll put it together one day, this case.
Jimmy Dore
So maybe that soldier will put it together. It sounds like he has put it together, but he doesn't want to, he says. I mean, I'm even doubting my own logic. Yeah, well, you shouldn't.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah, it's very strong programming, I bet.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, it is very strong. What's he going to do? He's not going to find any friends in Israel if he tells the truth about October 7th.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah, other victims of it will cover up because that's. They're even worse than Americans are. Well, in a way, to outsiders, insiders, they'll probably take a terrible vengeance on Netanyahu and then go on killing Palestinians. You know, here we don't even get that dignity of putting putting our corrupt leaders in prison. Israel does that part at least because they don't take kindly when you harm an Israeli. If you're Israeli. At least they have that level of something, I guess.

Elis Slotkin
Lot of the guys are also like wearing mom jeans and white sneaker on the weekends. Like these are good corn fed people who just want to help their country.
Jimmy Dore
Eating ballpark Frank well, eating their hot.
Elis Slotkin
Dogs or doing whatever and you know.
Jimmy Dore
Lying to the American people doing Russiagate. Concocting conspiracy theories to undermine your vote so your vote actually doesn't count. Lying us into another war to slaughter a million people for the betterment and the for, for the enrichment of their corporate overlords. You know those kind of mom Jean White sneaker guys. So this is a Democrat, Elis Slotkin. She's a politician and former intelligence analyst. She was elected in 2025 as a senator from Michigan. Slotkin she was formerly a CIA analyst and a Department of Defense official. Ending Isn't it nice they go from CIA into Congress. That couldn't be worse. So that's, that's the deep state. Okay. She was formerly a CIA analyst and a Department of Defense official ending her career in that field as the acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. And now she's a senator from Michigan. And now she goes on the number one propaganda show in late night, which is Stephen Colbert. And she tries to tell you that. Well, pro war senator Elisa Slotkin, who worked for the CIA on Iraq under George W. Bush, says CIA agents are just a bunch of trusty corn fed guys wearing mom jeans and white sneakers on weekends. This is the future of the Democrats.
Zoran Mandani
I bet you that's not her old job. I bet it's still her job. And the senator thing's a cover, don't you?
Jimmy Dore
I bet you're right. So, so sure. Sure they are. Do you remember when your mom would come home from work at the CIA and the silencer would still be really hot on her sniper rifle? Or how about in the middle of dinner and dad would get a phone call and his face would go blank and he would just become another person altogether. He would put on his coat and just leave. Those are the homespun memories I enjoy.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah, you said it's a complicated world and sometimes you have to do bad things.
Jimmy Dore
So here she is telling this to Stephen Colbert. Republicans, a lot of the people, sort of conspiratorially minded people out there like to think that some of the trouble the United States has is because of what they call the deep state. Right. Okay. And as a former I, I like that Stephen Colbert is just 100% pushing establishment talking points. You know, if you some people are conspiracy theories, think there's a deep state.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah, a leftist made that up. Peter Dale Scott, left wing Berkeley professor after Kennedy was murdered, he came up with that phrase. So no, right wingers didn't actually come up with that. I mean, I know Stephen doesn't know anything and he just Paris things, but.
Jimmy Dore
I'm just the history, so he's he. Boy, if there is nobody who does their job better for the establishment than Stephen Colbert, it is, it is unbelievable.
Zoran Mandani
Why is he fired?
Jimmy Dore
He's like. He's like Colin Powell at the UN holding up the vial of whatever he held up to get us to go to war with Iraq. That's what he is.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's legal. Smith Mundt means they can install a man to put propaganda on CBS late night that doesn't make any money mysteriously, but then suddenly has to be canceled once US aid money goes away.
Jimmy Dore
Is there, is there a deep state? What do they mean by deep state?
Elis Slotkin
Yeah, I just, I wish people.
Jimmy Dore
What do they mean by Stephen Colbert? I don't Know anything? I've only been doing a political show for 20 fucking years. I don't know anything. What does that mean, a deep state?
Zoran Mandani
There's one person you can trust to.
Jimmy Dore
Ask, it's someone from the deep state. Yeah, hey, why don't you ask Chris Christie where all the cheesecake went?
Zoran Mandani
Hey, get Netanyahu on to ask about if they're starving kids to death.
Elis Slotkin
Yeah, well, could understand that. A lot of the guys that I serve with, guys and gals at the CIA or at the Pentagon where I served, first of all, a lot of them are former military. So you know, if you can't be like pro military and then anti intelligence community and deep state.
Jimmy Dore
But yes, I can. Yeah, yeah, I can be. I can be pro soldier and not.
Zoran Mandani
That pro military either, to be honest with you. I like soldiers. I'll do uso. I'm not.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I'm definitely not pro military or Pentagon.
Zoran Mandani
Pentagon should rot in hell. The leaders of it should go to a bad place.
Elis Slotkin
A lot of the guys are also like wearing mom jeans and white sneakers on the weekends. Like these are good corn fed people who just want to help their country.
Jimmy Dore
Eating ballpark franks.
Elis Slotkin
Well, eating their hot dogs or doing.
Jimmy Dore
Whatever and you know, lying to the American people, doing Russiagate, concocting conspiracy theories to undermine your vote so your vote actually doesn't count. Lying us into another war to slaughter a million people for the betterment and for the enrichment of their corporate overlords. You know, those kind of mom Jean white sneaker guys, you know, that kind of thing.
Zoran Mandani
I thought they're so diverse now. She said corn fed.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I thought they were more diverse. I thought they were Hispanic. I thought they were Hispanic. I thought it was Hispanic lesbians with anxiety disorders. That's how I thought was at the CIA.
Zoran Mandani
Now late dinks, severe anxiety and personality.
Jimmy Dore
Issues and she's saying they're just regular guys. They're just out there trying to help America. That's all. They're not doing the bidding of the deep state or the WEF or the billionaire overlords that actually run this country.
Zoran Mandani
Obama wore mom jeans and he was a good man.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. They're not, they're not helping get coordinates so Israel can bomb people in Yemen and slaughter people in Gaza. They're not doing that.
Zoran Mandani
Are they wearing mom jeans from your mom they killed because that's the kind of pieces of shit that work at.
Jimmy Dore
The wearing mom jeans from the mom.
Zoran Mandani
They killed from the corpses of moms.
Elis Slotkin
All over this idea that there's some network of People that are running the world, it's just. It doesn't really match reality. And these people in the dead of night are doing things.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, nobody's running the world. According to her, nobody's running the world.
Zoran Mandani
They're always mad. They're always mad that they don't control the whole world and they openly think they should control the whole world. So I know that's something we need to correct with more intel. Fucks.
Jimmy Dore
We just have. We just have a thousand military bases around the world. We're not doing that to control the world.
Zoran Mandani
Oh, we still don't have Russia's stuff and all of China's stuff. So I guess the battle's not finished.
Elis Slotkin
Protect this country and make sure things don't blow up here. And for me, the way that Trump.
Jimmy Dore
So let's keep in mind, the intelligence community completely concocted Russiagate. That was not to keep America safe, that was to undermine your vote, undermine an election, undermine democracy, and to slander a sitting president to render him useless. That's what that was all about. So this idea that they're there trying to protect America and Trump is still the bad guy. She's saying Trump is still the bad guy, not the people who concocted Russiagate and framed a sitting American president as a traitor to our country to undermine your vote is.
Elis Slotkin
Going after them is just. It's particularly. First of all, it's nasty. Second of all, it's completely counter to our interests to be demoralizing the people that are protecting.
Jimmy Dore
Oh, so Trump is going after the good people at the CIA and the FBI. That's the way. That's the problem. Of course.
Zoran Mandani
Demoralized. You should be happy you're not thrown into a pit. And I thought Trump was your vengeance out there on these people, but they're still on tv.
Jimmy Dore
Well, let's.
Zoran Mandani
Where's my vengeance? Why isn't Robert De Niro in a camp like he was afraid of?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I thought they were. Everybody's going to end up in a camp. Remember that? Everybody's going to be in a camp.
Zoran Mandani
Trump's still on their team at the end of the day, and he don't want to fully alienate him.
Jimmy Dore
Bill Maher is not going to be able to have a show. Remember that? Because Robert De Niro said, you're not going to be able to have a show. I'm going to be in prison. What. Whatever happened to that? So here, I just want to show you this for context. So here is Claire Danes and she starts to let the cat out of the bag that she was working on this TV show and she was working with people from the CIA and she found out that the CIA was partnering up with journalists.
Zoran Mandani
Right.
Jimmy Dore
To undermine Donald Trump. And as soon as she starts to say that Stephen Colbert as the tool of the establishment he is, he definitely has a. He cuts her off. Remember this? Let's watch.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah. By the way, the show was an Israeli show of propaganda for Israelis to make them cool with the awful shit Israel does. And so we imported it here and she starred in it.
Jimmy Dore
What was the name of the show?
Zoran Mandani
I don't know.
Jimmy Dore
Doesn't matter.
Zoran Mandani
Bullshit.
Jimmy Dore
Here we go. Okay, so now one of the things that you do. Do you do this every season where you go get to spend some time with some actual spies?
F
Oh, we do. It's like the coolest part of my job.
Jimmy Dore
Who sets that up? Who calls the CIA and goes, we just like to come in and hang out with you guys. Yeah.
F
So Henry Burmell, who is one of our founding fathers of Homeland, one of our writers, passed away a number of years ago, but his dad was in the CIA and his cousin was a mentee of his father's and was also in the CIA. A very accomplished person there. And he recently retired. But end his retirement, he curates this week long spy camp for us producers and writers and.
Jimmy Dore
Really?
F
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Is it like, you know.
Andrew Cuomo
Yeah.
F
So we park ourselves in a club in Georgetown and talk to like real spooks and you know, people in the intelligence community and the State Department and journalists and people who really, what do.
Jimmy Dore
They tell you that like, what's the most surprising thing that they've told you about their jobs or something you would need to know for.
F
Well, every year it's different.
Jimmy Dore
Right.
F
We've been at it for a while and, and the climate has been, has changed. But this year it was all about, you know, the distrust between the administration and the intelligence world and, and the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists which usually they're start.
Jimmy Dore
Shooting this this season. Did you see him? Oh, he two hands. Ha. And ha. Don't tell people that there's a thing called the mockingbird media. And it's still happening because that's what she just part of it and Colbert's part of it.
Zoran Mandani
Her face is the best she knows.
Jimmy Dore
Like I think I just screwed up.
Zoran Mandani
And then he's like, he's like, oh.
Jimmy Dore
My God, this is going to be a vacant look. He says this is going to be a scandal. Everybody's going to know that there's a Mockingbird Media, meaning that the intelligence community is partnering up with journalists to undermine the President of the United States. That's what she just said. So guess what? The CIA and the FBI do not work for the President. They're supposed to. The President's supposed to. They're supposed to work for him. But what she just revealed is that they don't work for the President. Just like Chuck Schumer revealed when he said Trump shouldn't screw around and be mean to the intelligence community because they've got six ways this Sunday to get back at you. And what that revealed from Chuck Schumer was that the intelligence community, meaning the FBI and the CIA, do not work for the President. And the President better watch his ass because they'll come for him. So if they don't work for the President, who do they work for? That's called the deep state. They don't work for you. You don't get a vote in this. This is the permanent state, the deep state. The establishment. The people who wanted the Iraq war twice. The people who wanted afgh for 20 years. The people who wanted to flood the inner cities in America with crack cocaine and then explode the prison population. The same people who wanted to do Syria and Libya and Ukraine. The same people.
Zoran Mandani
The same people who work. That Stephen Colbert is an asset of. Obviously.
Jimmy Dore
Obviously, he's an asset now. Did you see that? What that is. So she's letting you know that the CIA is teaming up with journalists to undermine the President of the United States. And he had to cut. Look at that. His hand, this hand. That is red alert. Red alert.
Zoran Mandani
For him to react like that. It's like, did he get a call beforehand? Don't let this dingbat blather about how journalists work for the CIA now because he looks like. Oh, that was the one thing you weren't supposed to say. Did he have it on his mind the whole time while she was talking?
Jimmy Dore
Let's watch this again, because this is. This is. Oh, I don't know.
F
And the intelligence community was suddenly kind of allying itself with journalists, which.
Zoran Mandani
Is great. Oh, luckily, a Stephen Colbert crowd is not going to notice that or think about it twice.
Jimmy Dore
No. But here's Scott Adams. Trump is lying to you about the Epstein files for your greater good. Remember this when he said this.
G
How many of you know that there's something called the CIA? Have you heard of it?
Zoran Mandani
No.
G
If you know that there's a CIA and you have not been railing to completely eliminate them from our system, then you've Already bought into the idea that your government can lie to you. So don't act like you're all, you're all above it. We're not above it. I wake up knowing that my country has a CIA and that their job is to not tell the truth. I mean, it's built into the job. And I don't expect them to tell me the truth, but I do, I do expect them to keep me safe. So, you know, they're not going to be perfect and there'll be some corruption that gets into every system. But if you trust Trump to handle the country's interests first, then you should also trust him to know when to lie to you and that when that's in your best interest or the best interest of the country as a whole.
Jimmy Dore
So that is called adult child of an alcoholic justifying abuse. That's what that is. Oh, daddy. It was our fault. He beat us. So he's doing it for our own good. They're lying to us for our own good. So you're talking about that. Those that Stephen Colbert covering for the CIA joining with Mockingbird media journalists to undermine President Trump. That's good.
Zoran Mandani
Trump does nothing.
Jimmy Dore
And this idea, what a childish idea that the CIA lies to you to keep you safe, that the CIA is there to keep us safe. Nothing has made us less safe than the CIA starting wars and overthrowing democracies all across the globe. Nothing has made us less safe than our war with Russia through Ukraine, the saber rattling with China, the millions of wars that they've started and millions of people they've killed in the Middle east, creating terrorists that hate us and want to do damage. Nothing the CIA is not. So this idea that they're there to keep us safe is such a childlike version that he has to cling to because he likes Trump, because Trump was nice to him.
Zoran Mandani
Office guy when he goes for the good of the country. The people who had their kids trafficked or grabbed up by the despicable CIA, are they not part of the country? Oh, I'm not the country. Just you are because you got money, prick. So he tells the truth in the beginning. If you're not railing against the CIA. I am.
Jimmy Dore
Well, I am.
Zoran Mandani
Then you're an asshole to be mad about this. Well, this is a good speech. To not believe in America anymore from Scott Adams.
Jimmy Dore
Yes. Don't. Nobody should trust their government or their president or their intelligence communities to tell them the truth. But somehow you should still believe in.
Zoran Mandani
America even though Sam Harris level.
Jimmy Dore
This is Sam Harris level delusion. Yeah. So I just can't picture Norbert on Epstein Island. But maybe that's my glitch, huh?
Zoran Mandani
Not Norbert. Norbert, Dilbert, not Norbert. I mean, Eddie Murphy's the nerd.
Jimmy Dore
I'm sorry, Dilbert.
Zoran Mandani
Can all picture that.
Jimmy Dore
I can't picture Richard Dilbert. Yeah, wrong guy. So James Kroger says the CIA is not a band of benevolent protectors. It exists for one reason. It provides the billionaire owners of our government with a secret control organization that they use. One, to control politicians and two, to control the information spaces citizens turn to, just like they just did with Stephen Colbert. And most importantly, to cheat, I. E. Break every legal, moral law in secret to protect our elites from the threat of democracy. That is the efforts of workers to organize themselves politically, both overseas and domestically. That's what they're there for. Also, through their use of both carrots and sticks, they infiltrate almost every level of society. Most of their most important assets are found in corporate boardrooms, government agencies, Hollywood and celebrity social circles. Their message to all these special people, the CIA exists for them. They've been so successful in their efforts that the senior elected leaders in Congress are afraid to cross them. I'll remember once when Chuck Schumer said they've got six ways to Sunday to get back at the President of the United States if the President criticizes them. America's democracy was always shaky before the CIA was created, but it was effectively replaced by an increasingly tyrannical oligarchy in the years since they invented the CIA. So, Stephen Colbert. What a wow.
Zoran Mandani
And I bet Scott Adams thinks he's against Stephen Colbert. Well, not on the vaccine thing, of course. That's the only thing. He doesn't care that the CIA might kill you or all, I mean, I don't know, begin with the experiments they do on American citizens, but he was all for an experimental vaccine being forced on you. And then what turned out. I mean, I'm sure it has to do with his condition now, by the way, but when it turned out that way, he goes, well, you won. No, nobody won, dipshit. You get experimented on by your Mengele CIA here. What a. What an unbelievable cognitive dissonance. Because he thinks he's part of the elites and I don't think he understands he's not, or else they would include him in not to get the real shot.
Jimmy Dore
So in other words, I don't know what they're. I don't know what this guy's talking about. How they, they infiltrate Hollywood and, and they could control information spaces. I mean, I saw a movie on Netflix and I know shows on Amazon and they say the CIA is always underfunded and trying to do the right thing. That's what they say. So he got rid of all the DEI for LGBTQ and people of the color and, and race and blacks and Hispanics. He got rid of all that DEI and he just replaced it with a new DEI called Jewish People. So get this. This is some more Trump betraying MAGA and becoming Israel first instead of America first. US is going to link $1.9 billion in state disaster funds to Israel boycott stance. So if a state. He doesn't want to buy stuff from Israel and they do a boycott of Israel products because they're committing a genocide. Donald Trump's federal government is going to deny you disaster funds. U.S. states and cities that boycott Israel companies will be denied federal aid for natural disaster preparedness. The Trump administration has announced tying routine federal funding to its political stance.
Zoran Mandani
Is there any states that are currently threatening to do that at all, by the way?
Jimmy Dore
The federal. I think there is the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The FEMA stated in grant notices posted on Friday that states must follow its terms and conditions. This is the most. So now Israel is like a DEI hire for the Trump administration. That's what this is. And they're horrible. But you have to treat them better than you treat everybody else. You can. You can boycott America. You can boycott American products. You can boycott. States can boycott. Remember when they were boycotting Florida? Remember California was boycotting Florida? Remember that? You can do that. You just can't boycott another country because Donald Trump is not America first.
Zoran Mandani
I have to say, that was pretty anti Semitic to boycott Florida. That's as close to Israel as it gets.
Jimmy Dore
That's. That's pretty bad. Those conditions require. You're going to boycott Florida. Those conditions require they certify that. Oh, it's so humid down there. Those conditions require that they certify that they will not sever commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies to qualify for funding.
Zoran Mandani
Even if they traffic your kids don't.
Jimmy Dore
Even if they. The requirement applies to at least 1.9 billion that states rely on to cover search and rescue equipment, emergency manager staff salaries, and backup power systems, among other expenses. According to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by Reuters, the requirement is the Trump administration's latest effort to use federal funding to promote its views on Israel. The Department of Homeland Security. So he's forcing colleges to do DEI for Jewish people. He's forcing them or you don't get. So he got rid of all the DEI for LGBTQ and people of the color and race and blacks and Hispanics. He got rid of all that DEI and he just replaced it with a new DEI called Jewish People.
Zoran Mandani
About time.
Jimmy Dore
And this requirement is the Trump administration's latest effort to use federal funding to promote its view. So could you imagine if the Democrat did that? Like we're going to. If you don't hire more DEI people at your college, we're going to cut your funding.
Zoran Mandani
You imagine that's what they did the last time. They just switched out people.
Jimmy Dore
The Department of Homeland Security, that agency that oversees fema, in April said that boycotting Israel is prohibited for states and cities receiving its grant funds. The Israeli requirement takes aim at bds, the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement designed to put economic pressure on Israel to end its occupation of Palestinian territor. The campaign supporters grew more vocal in 2023 after Hamas attacked southern Israel and Israel invaded Gaza in response. They did more than invade Gaza. They had already invaded Gaza. They were occupying it. DHS will enforce all anti discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which it expressly grounded in anti Semitism. A spokesperson for the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem said the requirement is largely symbolic at at least 34 states have already have anti BDS laws or policies. Oh, so yeah, what, the state's already beat him to it.
Zoran Mandani
That's not understand why it would even be necessary.
Jimmy Dore
The BDS movement did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The American Jewish Committee supports the Trump administration's policy. No kidding. The AJC is the advocacy group that supports Israel. Under one of the grant notices posted on Friday. FEMA will require major cities to agree to the Israel policy to receive a cut of $553 million set aside to prevent terrorism in dense areas. New York is due to receive 92.2 million for the program, the most of all the recipients. Allocations are based on the agency's analysis of relative risk of terrorism. So this is. So you know what this is? This is the cutoff Zoloft Mondavi in New York.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah. Is that they're paying him. Not.
Jimmy Dore
So that's what this is. So it looks like Zoloft Van Daabi, who is anti Israel, is going to win in New York and he'll probably. And he'll probably be all on board for a BDS to do a boycott on Israeli companies. So that's what this is about. This is about stopping him from doing that. But guess what? Sagar and Jetty found This out. The Trump administration's decision to withhold disaster relief funds is even more insane than I thought. It extends a ban on disaster funds from our tax dollars to anyone who refuses to deal with Israeli companies. So here, and he points it out, it says discriminatory prohibited boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations or otherwise limiting commercial relations, specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel, or authorized by, licensed or organized under the laws of Israel to do business.
Zoran Mandani
So this is like when Great Britain forced China to buy opium from them. Except instead of getting some sweet opium, we just do what Israel says. We don't even get a good opium high.
Jimmy Dore
Ironically, FEMA declares that anyone who accepts these grant funds agrees. They do not and will not, during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote dei, deia or discriminatory equity ideology. That's the irony is that you can't do your regular dei. But Trump has a whole new set of DEI for Jews or Israelis. I'll put it Israel. It's not Jews, it's Israelis.
Zoran Mandani
Diversity equity, Israelis, yes.
Jimmy Dore
Glenn Greenwald says even worse about this Trump policy that bans disaster relief funds to any American state or city. Boycotting Israel. It only applies to Israel. They can boycott France, Peru, United Arab Emirates or South Korea or even other American states and still get those funds. They just can't boycott Israel.
Zoran Mandani
Oh, if Rogan doesn't have Bibi Netanyahu on, will Texas lose their FEMA funds?
Jimmy Dore
Glenn Greenwald goes on to say when Andrew Cuomo was governor of New York, he ordered state employees to boycott both Indiana and North Carolina due to their gender bathroom laws. But then he also banned contracts to anybody boycotting Israel. So you can boycott United States or US States, you just not this one foreign country. Isn't that amazing? You can boycott another United States state. You can't boycott a foreign country.
Zoran Mandani
Hey, does Israel have a lot of trans bathrooms? I bet they don.
Jimmy Dore
I bet they don't. Jake Shield says, hey maga, are you going to try to defend this? Are you ready to admit that Epstein has him effing kids? Instead of releasing the Epstein files, he's going to cut off American aid during disasters. I'm sure the FEMA money will be sent to Israel. It's time to admit we are occupied. I admit it, Jake. Donald Trump never will. I think lots of MAGA actually does admit that. That Trump is Israel first and not America first. Jack Merkinson says telling people you will have to be killed in a hurricane because of Israel. Is definitely going to make them like Israel more.
Zoran Mandani
I disagree. I think they should be more pushy.
Jimmy Dore
Here is Joey says part of Trump help. Do you support Israel?
Zoran Mandani
Oh, I thought they were deporting her for writing a college paper against Israel.
Jimmy Dore
That's funny. But here's the latest from Sager. He says, okay, after speaking with folks, here's what's going on. An original guidance from the Department of Homeland Security explicitly stated that federal disaster funding was barred from states that allowed boycotts of Israel. The White House then changed this explicit language after widespread outcry. But the Department of Homeland Security tweet makes it clear the administration reserves the right to deny these funds on BDS grounds based on the Anti Boycott Act. They still might do it. They're just not saying it out loud right now.
Zoran Mandani
Is this like a plot to make everybody hate Israel? To get like, are they running out of anti Semitism?
Jimmy Dore
Is that what the problem is? Can you imagine that your state gets denied disaster funds because of Israel and you think this is going to help Israel?
Zoran Mandani
And I don't even know how my state will be boycotting Israel by not dealing with some Israeli company.
Jimmy Dore
So Homeland Security tweeted this out. There is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current nofo. No states have lost funding and no new conditions have been imposed. FEMA grants remain governed by existing law and policy and not political litmus tests. Ha ha ha. DHS will enforce all anti discriminatory laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement. So they just contradicted themselves here. So what they're saying is we're not writing a new law. We're going to just do this under the old law. So we're going to deny you disaster funds if we feel like it because of Israel.
Zoran Mandani
That's what, that's what they're saying you're allowed to have. I can boycott whoever I want?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I'm talking about I get to hate anybody I want. I get to. I get to speak hate against anybody I want. I get to boycott anybody I want. I get to hate and boycott anybody I want. Why? Because I'm a grown ass man and I'm not a slave and I'm free and you want to control my thoughts and my buying behavior. You can't do that. I'm a grown ass man. I get to not buy from someone if I don't want to and I get to hate those people.
Andrew Cuomo
Time.
Jimmy Dore
I get to hate anyone and anything I want. That's what it's called, being free. I'm not a. You don't get to control my thoughts. You don't get to have mind control over me, and you don't get to make it illegal for me to have a thought of hatred.
Zoran Mandani
And I can have a machete if I want, Jimmy.
Jimmy Dore
So they're trying to say, hey, we're not at. We're not actually doing this. But then they say we actually are doing this.
Zoran Mandani
Yeah. Shouldn't let Laura Loomer do their tweeting.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Zoran Mandani
Or Larry Loomer, if you believe some people.
Jimmy Dore
So it's all. So this is only making people hate Israel more. This is the exact. So this is the exact opposite thing. Just, you know how all the DEI stuff created backlash against those people getting the dei. This is. This is the same thing.
Zoran Mandani
Well, you know what? Don't worry about me and the worthless non Jews who might be upset. We're nothing. But you're losing all the. The new generation of kids. That's what they're freaking out about. The kids aren't listening to Bubby and Zadie no more about Israel. That's really the main fear. That's why they have to use the master of the universe controls. Is that fucking creep said so eloquently. We're the masters of the universe. All these old scumbag, probably not even real Jews, probably like Frankish, Satan Jews. They're mad that they're losing control of the kids. And it's not China that did it with TikTok. Larry Ellison owns TikTok. So don't blame China.

Podcast Summary: The Jimmy Dore Show
Episode Title: “We Were ORDERED To Stand Down On October 7th!” -Says IDF Soldier
Host: Jimmy Dore
Release Date: August 6, 2025
The episode begins with a brief promotional segment for Jimmy Dore's upcoming tour dates across various cities, highlighting his commitment to engaging with his audience directly. Shortly after, a call comes in purportedly from Andrew Cuomo, the former Governor of New York, but it's revealed that the caller is actually Zoran Mandani impersonating Cuomo. This sets the tone for a series of heated and confrontational exchanges throughout the episode.
Notable Quote:
[00:47] Andrew Cuomo: "My days as a disgraced former governor are behind me. I am now a yet to be disgraced mayoral candidate for New York City."
Initially, Jimmy Dore engages in what appears to be a standard interview with Andrew Cuomo, discussing Cuomo's mayoral campaign and his stance outside the Democratic Party. However, shortly after, Zoran Mandani interrupts, taking over the conversation with aggressive and controversial statements. This impersonation highlights the show's tendency to challenge and confront political figures, whether real or fabricated.
Notable Quotes:
[02:16] Andrew Cuomo (Mandani): "Mr. Mandani came around promising a lot of unrealistic freebies and that appealed to the very young demographic..."
[05:02] Zoran Mandani: "Your ass is mine in November. Go whine to your fans about it, falafel breath."
A significant portion of the episode focuses on the events of October 7th, where Hamas attacked Israel. Jimmy Dore references a video featuring an IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) soldier who claims that orders were given to stand down patrols during the attack. This testimony is used to suggest possible negligence or premeditation in the events leading to the attack.
Notable Quotes:
[11:40] IDF Soldier Testimony: "We received orders... to cancel all patrols along the Gaza border from 5:20am to 9:00am."
[12:15] IDF Soldier Testimony: "Why would they do that?... They were looking at each other like what?"
The conversation takes a conspiratorial turn as Zoran Mandani introduces theories about the CIA, deep state, and their alleged influence over American politics and media. He suggests that the intelligence community collaborates with journalists to undermine political figures, specifically targeting President Trump. This segment intertwines with Jimmy Dore's own critiques of establishment politics and media bias.
Notable Quotes:
[33:03] Jimmy Dore: "So that is called adult child of an alcoholic justifying abuse... The intelligence community is partnering up with journalists to undermine President Trump."
[39:41] Jimmy Dore: "The CIA exists for them. They've been so successful in their efforts that the senior elected leaders in Congress are afraid to cross them."
The episode delves into the topic of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies, specifically focusing on the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel. Jimmy Dore discusses recent policies from the Trump administration that link federal disaster funding to states' stances on Israel, portraying it as an attempt to coerce states into supporting pro-Israel measures. The conversation critiques the selective application of DEI principles and accuses the administration of using federal funds as political leverage.
Notable Quotes:
[49:40] Zoran Mandani: "Diversity equity, Israelis, yes."
[54:44] Jimmy Dore: "Now, Honduras declares that anyone who accepts these grant funds agrees. They do not and will not, during the term of this financial assistance award, operate any programs that advance or promote DEI, DEIA or discriminatory equity ideology."
Jimmy Dore criticizes mainstream media outlets and personalities, including Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher, accusing them of being tools for establishment propaganda. He references historical and fictional instances to illustrate his point about media manipulation and the dissemination of biased information.
Notable Quotes:
[36:41] Jimmy Dore: "Don't tell people that there's a thing called the mockingbird media. And it's still happening because that's what she just part of it and Colbert's part of it."
[43:48] Jimmy Dore: "Nothing has made us less safe than the CIA starting wars and overthrowing democracies all across the globe."
As the episode progresses towards its conclusion, the confrontational dynamic between Jimmy Dore and Zoran Mandani intensifies. The discussion becomes increasingly fragmented, mixing humorous elements with ongoing political critiques. The episode wraps up with more promotional content, urging listeners to become premium members for additional content.
Notable Quotes:
[58:18] Jimmy Dore: "I get to hate anyone and anything I want. That's what it's called, being free. I'm not a slave and I'm free."
[60:50] Jimmy Dore: "Don't freak out. Do not freak out, Freak out, freak out, freak out."
This episode of "The Jimmy Dore Show" is marked by intense political discourse, blending genuine critiques with provocative conspiracy theories. The interaction between Jimmy Dore and the impersonated Andrew Cuomo serves as a platform for discussing broader themes such as media manipulation, government policies on DEI and BDS, and the role of intelligence agencies in shaping political narratives.
