Episode Overview

This episode of The Jimmy Dore Show takes a deep dive into the recent ICE killings in Minneapolis, the government and media response, and the deeper motives behind federal immigration enforcement spectacles. The discussion also covers government lies, the expansion of the surveillance state, and how political dialectics keep Americans divided and distracted from oligarchic control. Notably, it challenges the official narrative around the killing of Alex Preddy—a VA nurse and legal gun owner—by ICE agents and spotlights the bipartisan nature of these abuses.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. ICE Killings: What Happened and Why?

• Jimmy opens with skepticism over ICE's official story regarding a man killed in St. Paul, questioning the real motives behind aggressive ICE behavior.
• Jimmy Dore (01:16):
  "You know, it's weird that some people just get absolutely weird about being barged in on in a military fashion and slammed to the ground. What a bunch of spoiled brats they are."
• Dave Smith and Glenn Greenwald discuss the defensive, often life-threatening responses that ordinary people would have toward masked, unidentified agents, highlighting the danger of paramilitary law enforcement tactics.

2. Who Benefits From Immigration Enforcement Spectacles?

• Jimmy asserts that if ICE was truly concerned about illegal immigration's impact on jobs, they would target employers—farms, construction, meatpacking—but they don't.
• He argues the current system serves oligarchs by pitting poor Americans against poor immigrants, preventing unity against the ruling class.
• Jimmy Dore (02:00):
  "It's not actually about enforcing immigration law...the Chamber of Commerce, the people who actually run the government, the corporations and the billionaires—the oligarchs—they want illegal immigrants here."

3. Generational Manipulation and The Reset

• Dave Smith reflects on generational disenfranchisement, suggesting "Generation Alpha" has been systematically conditioned for lower expectations (02:57).
• Dave Smith (03:31):
  "We're gonna die...no one gives a..."
• Jimmy and Dave connect this to divide-and-conquer strategies distracting from true sources of power.

4. Political Distraction & Surveillance Expansion

• The hosts posit that the spectacle of aggressive immigration enforcement is multi-purpose: it distracts from issues like Epstein files, cements a security state, and reframes dissent as terrorism.
• Jimmy Dore (04:48):
  "They're chasing people on public streets, making as big a spectacle as they can about it...it's about keeping the country divided...setting a pretense for the expansion of the security state."

5. Predictive Policing and Surveillance Tech

• Whitney Webb exposes Palantir and Carbine, private firms with deep intelligence and corporate ties, expanding predictive policing and dragnets beyond immigrants to all citizens.
• Whitney Webb (16:36):
  "[Palantir] are a massive contractor to essentially every U.S. intelligence agency...all that is intended to be used against people that are not illegal immigrants. It's meant to be an entire dragnet...a pipeline of people basically being sent to prison or...caught up in crimes that are very petty."
• The technology often fails and disproportionately targets low-income, minority neighborhoods (18:02).

6. Media, Influencers, and Manufactured Consent

• Dave Smith highlights the willingness of prominent influencers to echo official narratives for personal gain (20:36).

7. Challenging the Official Story: The Killing of Alex Preddy

• Jimmy meticulously contrasts official claims (that Preddy was a domestic terrorist who attacked police) with video evidence showing he was a VA nurse, legally armed, who tried to aid another protester and was killed after being disarmed by ICE agents.
• Jimmy Dore (23:39):
  "The point of this segment is to highlight how the government...is just blatantly lying about it."

8. Political Fallout and Bipartisan Skepticism

• Even Trump, his press secretary, and some GOP senators refuse to back Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller's narrative. Fox News reports concern about ICE credibility, and calls emerge for investigations into the killings and excessive force (34:53, 35:59).

9. Veterans Speak Out in Defense of Preddy

• Multiple veterans record a statement defending Preddy's character and condemning his killing.
• Veteran (39:57):
  "Let's call it what it is, the unwarranted killing of not just an American we swore to defend, but of a man who dedicated his life to our care. A life cut short by authoritarian brutality."

10. Accountability: ICE Leadership Removed, Agents Pulled Out

• Following public outcry and contradicting narratives, Trump fires the ICE official in charge during the shooting (Gregory Bovino) and announces ICE withdrawal from Minneapolis (43:12).

11. Legal & Political Repercussions

• Lawsuits are underway challenging ICE's occupation of Minnesota under the 10th Amendment, with some senators threatening to withhold DHS funding (47:39).
• The episode underscores bipartisan realization that ICE’s latest actions are both illegal and dangerous.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Jimmy Dore (10:09):
  "You're being played. They're doing this to distract you from them doing the opposite of what they campaigned on. Don't fall for it. They're not going after employed illegal immigrants. They're making a show to pretend that they are."

• Whitney Webb (16:36):
  "Palantir...are a massive contractor to essentially every U.S. intelligence agency...all that is intended to also be used against people that are not illegal immigrants. It's meant to be an entire dragnet of basically pre crime."

• Glenn Greenwald (27:46):
  "Is there anybody who even remotely believes that's what happened—that he showed up to inflict...to go massacre law enforcement?"

• Veteran Panel (39:57):
  "Let's call it what it is, the unwarranted killing of not just an American we swore to defend, but of a man who dedicated his life to our care."

• Dave Smith (36:34):
  "They want civil war. They all want civil war. That's what this is. Deliberately provoking a civil war."

Tone & Language

The episode is laced with Jimmy Dore's signature outrage and sarcasm, supported by guests willing to call out both Republican and Democratic complicity. The language is blunt, with frequent profanities and a raw skepticism toward government and media. The tone remains urgent, conspiratorial, combative, and committed to exposing what they see as state and corporate abuses.

Summary for New Listeners

If you missed this episode, here's the takeaway: Jimmy Dore and guests argue that the ICE killings in Minneapolis—particularly the case of VA nurse Alex Preddy—are emblematic of a broader agenda of division, distraction, and increasing surveillance. The spectacle of paramilitary-style immigration enforcement isn't about illegal immigration but is designed to pit ordinary Americans against one another, distract from deeper abuses (war, surveillance, oligarchy), expand the security state, and normalize repression. Both Democratic and Republican officials perpetuate these strategies, often lying blatantly when caught overstepping. This time, however, video evidence, veteran advocacy, and rare bipartisanship have forced a reversal: ICE leadership is ousted, and agents are being withdrawn, exposing the political and moral bankruptcy of the enforcement spectacle.

Qualifying credit required. Hey, come see me live on tour February 20th at Lansing, Michigan. February 21st in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. Establishment media sucks. August lighting so good luck. Bullshit.

[Dave Smith]

We can't afford why he's fomenting this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Watch and see as his jack golf comedian speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on. It's the chimmy door show. So breaking. Federal agents in St. Paul pursued a man who fled in a vehicle and struck multiple officers. One agent fired shots in defensive response before the suspect was taken into custody.

[Dave Smith]

Is that what happened?

[Jimmy Dore]

I don't know exactly what happened. You know, it's weird that some people just get absolutely weird about being barged in on in a military fashion and slammed to the ground. What a bunch of spoiled brats they are.

[Dave Smith]

Jimmy, I'd be executed. I would never let a mask guy in an unmarked Subaru tell me shit. I would get violent.

[Glenn Greenwald]

I would be killed.

[Dave Smith]

I would hit my gas and I wouldn't turn the wheels away. I know myself. And that's what's so upsetting about this.

[Jimmy Dore]

I. Kurt, I hear you. I don't think I would ever pull over or give any quarter to a guy in an unmarked car with a mask on. I would.

[Dave Smith]

You defend mass cops? You are such an imbecile parrot. I don't even know. I don't think you can be reasoned with. So you should have already known that was off on the start.

[Jimmy Dore]

So what I said was, it seems clear that what ICE is doing, it's not actually about enforcing immigration law. If they wanted to do that, they would go to farms, construction sites, meatpacking facilities, hotels. They would arrest the guy who hired the illegals. They would have to do that maybe one or two times and it would be on the news and that would be the end of the illegal immigrants being hired here. But they don't do that because this is not about getting illegal immigrants away from taking your jobs. Why? Because the Chamber of Commerce, the people who actually run the government, the corporations and the billionaires the oligarchs, they want them here. They want illegal immigration, immigrants working jobs here. They want that. And so then they can have poor people fighting even poorer, more desperate people. So we don't come together to fight against the oligarchs who are screwing all of us.

[Dave Smith]

Jimmy, do you see the genius of the plan, though? Because. So the millennials that all hated the boomers and got into identity politics because they're as stupid as their parents. That's. You only need a few generations to go before you can rewrite everything. So the Generation Alpha are going to have no expectations. That's what the reset is. The reset is, is lower your expectations to eating, I don't know, meat and having fuel and energy. And guess what? Generation Alpha doesn't expect shit. They don't expect health care. They don't expect.

[Jimmy Dore]

They don't expect to be able to hold, to buy a house. And they don't.

[Dave Smith]

We're gonna die. We're old, we're gonna die, and no one gives a. And the millennials are occupied with their gender. And there's. So it's. It's brilliant. And meanwhile, if you notice, the people in charge live to be 108 for some fucking.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Dave Smith]

They breed you like dogs, so. And they train you like dogs.

[Jimmy Dore]

So let me get back to this. I. I said so. Because if they were. If this was really about enforcing immigration, they'd go to construction sites, meatpacking facilities, hotels, farms, they'd arrest the guy who hired all those people, and that would be the end of it. But they're not doing that. What they're doing is they're chasing people on public streets, making as big a spectacle as they can about it. So what is it really about? Well, distract people, including much of their own base, from the fact that they're covering up the Epstein files and covering for pedo traffickers while implementing. Banning, censorship and DEI for Jewish students on college campuses. So they're going. They're going against everything they campaigned on. Is it about keeping the country divided? Since the Left Right were coming together to oppose Israel and Zionism and all the wars generated by both, Is it about setting a pretense for the expansion of the security state and getting us used to calling American citizens terrorists so the state can take away our rights and execute anyone dissenting that they deem a terrorists? I think it's all those things.

[Dave Smith]

I think you nailed every single one of them, Jimmy. I would blather People the same exact thing, but not as well.

[Jimmy Dore]

And here and so it's because it's not about. This isn't about. If you really wanted to get illegal immigrants out of our country who are taking away American jobs and driving down our wages, this. You wouldn't be in broad daylight having masked men and unmarked cars shooting American citizens.

[Dave Smith]

Well, I mean, we already know this is that. Like, we already know this is that because way back when, when they turned off immigration at the border with no wall, they wasted your time fighting about a wall. Yeah, it turns out you don't need a wall.

[Jimmy Dore]

You don't need a wall.

[Dave Smith]

You just need the government to want to do what they're to do something.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here's Sam Tripoli back in 2023. He was on Joe Rogan show, friend of the show tramp Sam Tripoli. And. And he.

[Dave Smith]

I'm head of Turning Point Sam Tripoli, by the way.

[Jimmy Dore]

What's that?

[Dave Smith]

I'm the. I'm the chairman of Turning Point Sam Tripoli.

[Jimmy Dore]

So here he is. Listen to what he predicted in 2023.

We're in the Bolshevik war right now, bro. And right now, what's coming up is the. All the pride stuff is going to be okay. So I had this woman come on my podcast. Her name's Mel K. She goes, I've been talking some people in the intelligence, and they go, this gay pride stuff is going away. And the next thing, you're going to see our immigration riots. This is going to be right around the. The next election. So hand to God, we do this episode. Next day, Starbucks is like, we're banning all the pride stuff. And now you start seeing these little. They're putting little breadcrumbs out, man. Little breadcrumbs. Oh, I saw this one thing in Chicago. Oh, yeah. Illegal immigrants are upset about where they're staying. And these illegal immigrants who speak no English are holding up perfectly written English signs saying, we're tired of how we're being treated. And now you're starting to see this over and over again, Eric. So everyone's always like, when. When all these Republican governors are, like, sending these. These immigrants all over the country, it's like, yeah, you're showing those Democrats, bro. They're moving assets. I know it sounds crazy, but that is 100. What is.

[Dave Smith]

What do you mean they're moving assets?

[Whitney Webb]

What do you mean, dude?

[Jimmy Dore]

These guys coming into the country, bro, have you seen them? A lot of them are Chinese, and a lot of them are military Russian people. And I'm telling you, they're moving. And this is what's going to be right around 2024 election, immigration riots, people going nuts. And it as.

As.

Listen to this and you'll start seeing all the little breadcrumbs. I'm telling you, that's what they want you to think.

You're buying it.

Oh, I thought assets, bro. They're moving. Moving ass. What do you mean?

Like military people?

Dude, study the Bolshevik war. It is happening in real time. 100. But I just wanted to get that out to everybody because I'm trying to warn people. This is what's next.

It's kind of amazing.

[Dave Smith]

Well, here's a fun fact, Jimmy. Do you know the rainbow flag is actually the Noah Hyde flag? Did you know that?

[Jimmy Dore]

No.

[Dave Smith]

Did you know that? And that's why it ended the LGBT thing. So the rainbow was in the Bible. God's promise to Noah not to use a flood or something again. That's what that is. So Noahide law, which I only learned of being on the show, I'd never heard of that. The Sharia law of that, it comes from that. It's actually a supremacist ideology. And that's what the rainbow flag is. And if you look it up, you'll find several Zionist groups that are. That use the rainbow. That's what it really is. And that's what we're under.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. So when I posted that, people posted back. Here's one of them. When I posted. What are they doing? If they really wanted to do that, they would go to farms. They would go. When I. And so this guy says they have. They are everywhere. And even though I have agreed with you on a lot of things, this is not one of them. I voted for this. It could have been done better. But Democrats want to use it as a tactic. They love it when someone dies. How do I know this? Because they don't shed any tears unless it will help them politically. So again, he wants to immediately make it a left right. It's not a left right issue, you guys. This is not.

[Dave Smith]

They're together on Israel always, aren't they?

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right. So they won't waste their time. Oh, and your code pink people are frauds, in my opinion. I've called out code again. Again, you're making this about everything that it isn't.

[Glenn Greenwald]

How about this?

[Jimmy Dore]

How about that? How about that? But don't talk about. I'm talking about what is the point of what ICE is doing and why aren't they doing the thing you would expect them to do if they were really right? They are not Democrats. They are Marxist communists, antifa and an assortment of monsters out to destroy the American dream for the rest of us. You talk about people having to disrupt people's lives when they protest. Come live in Minnesota with the insane left, then F this state. F you Democrats, liberals and left progressives and every other party worshiping morons that love lawlessness and chaos.

[Dave Smith]

That's your party, idiot. And by the way, that's the dialectic. He is a victim of the dialectic. That's what commies do, that he pretends to hate. But that's why they do it. They. They get you riled up against the other side. That's called the dialectic.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right. So I say you're being played. They're doing this to distract you from them doing the opposite of what they campaigned on. Don't fall for it. They're not going after employed illegal immigrants. They're making a show to pretend that they are. Don't keep falling for it. That's exactly right. So the more you fall into the Republicans are good and the Democrats are bad, or the Democrats are good and the Republican. That's exactly what they want, and you're falling for it. They're now killing people who are using the Second Amendment. They're lying about the people they're killing. They've lied about that guy that he went there to do a maximum damage. He never pulled his gun. He didn't. In fact, they took his gun away from him and then they executed him. And then they said he was a terrorist because he showed up to a protest with a gun. Well, as we've shown you over and over, that's exactly what right wingers do. They show up to state capitols during COVID with long guns to protest lockdowns. Kyle Rittenhouse had a long gun at a protest. It's okay to bring a gun to a protest in America because it's a constitutional protected activity. And now they're. Now you're saying people who just because of their constitutional protected activity, they should be killed. So again, you're getting caught up in somehow Donald Trump, who's lied about every promise he made to you. They're not going after the illegal immigrants who are taking your jobs.

[Dave Smith]

FYI, you're taking it like a Democrat.

[Jimmy Dore]

They're not doing that. And you're taking it like a Democrat bitch. When they said Joe Biden wasn't demented and they went along. You're doing it now, too. They didn't get rid of censorship, they installed more censorship. They didn't get rid of dei. They installed more dei they didn't end the wars. They're funding genocides. They're bombing Iran. They're still funding. They're not getting rid of the deficit. They're not doing Doge for the Pentagon. They're exploding the deficit. Exploding it. Here's what they.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Hang on.

[Jimmy Dore]

Not only did they not do Doge for the Pentagon, they're going to give those an extra trillion dollars without any. Because they can't even tell where the money's going now. They're. So this idea that this is to. They're not. They didn't reveal the Epstein list. They're covering up for the pedos. They're covering up for I. For Israel and the Mossad. They are the deep state. So this idea. So this. Exactly. What. And they're doing this to distract you from all that and to keep us fighting each other. And this guy fell for it 100%. Lake and Sandy, you're falling for it 100%. And you're letting your hatred for lefties make you go along with people breaking the Constitution.

[Dave Smith]

Listen, I understand hatred for lefties. I thought he died. There were no one left. But sooner or later, even an idiot has to dawn on him. The game that's running on him is called an OODA loop. It's go, observe, Orient, decide, act. It comes from the Air Force. It's fifth generational warfare. They. They decide the faster you do that, the more likely you win, as long as it's faster than the enemy. So they're just throwing out bullshit really fast. That's their plan. And it works on some. On a majority of idiots. But that's why it's so, like, confused and, like, clumsy, because they just have to do it fast. It doesn't have to be good.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? And here's what the Free Thinkers Project says. They are also distracting from the fact that they are letting in record numbers of visa applicants right now.

[Dave Smith]

That's exactly right.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right now, Trump is letting in 600,000 Chinese students, which they all said before they were spies. And. And I.

[Dave Smith]

That's our enemy.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's. That's our enemy. And that all those college students are coming here to steal secrets.

[Dave Smith]

Oh, did you not read that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Not only that, but they're doing the H1B visa, bringing in people to take more American jobs because they're cheaper.

[Dave Smith]

They're bringing only Fans in on H1BS, Jimmy. They're even taking those jobs.

[Jimmy Dore]

They are also distracting from the fact they are letting in record numbers of visa applicants, which will continue to depress wages for American workers. On behalf of tech companies and multinational corporations. They create a spectacle on one hand to keep people divided and distracted while faithfully executing their Uni Party agenda on the other.

[Dave Smith]

The society of spectacle is the term. And the term that these globalists have is called the wilderness of the mind. They made that up way back when they made up stupid fucking climate change. And the idea is to keep you wandering around not knowing shit. And it works.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I think this administration is far less concerned with rounding up farm workers who really aren't causing any problems, and is instead targeting known dangerous criminals who are more likely to be found in cities preying upon people like Epstein, you.

[Dave Smith]

Moral run like Epstein, you absolutely.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, so. So you're telling me they ran on a platform? If you want to come here illegally and take our jobs, but don't assault anyone, then you're welcome in. Come on. Is that the pretzel you're bending yourself into to explain this? Yes, that's the pretzel.

[Dave Smith]

Well, I mean, in fairness, yes, that's the pretzel account. Seattle extremist. Shut up. That's some bot.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's probably a bot.

[Dave Smith]

Like, look at that stupid name and no face on it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? That's probably a bot being funded by ICE to say stuff like that. Yeah, no, they're cool with illegal immigrants taking our jobs if you're just not criminal. Oh, really? Is that what they said? That's not what they said. They did the exact opposite.

[Dave Smith]

All the economy hurting immigrants, they kept idiots.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Dave Smith]

The only people they're killing are citizens who are legally armed, apparently, you morons.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's what. And of course, they're setting up their own Gestapo. They're set. Why would they pour in all this money into ICE all of a sudden? Why would they do this? And why would they have. And so they're doing. They're ramping up the surveillance state through Palantir. You're all being what happens when the.

[Dave Smith]

Dems get back in geniuses, right? When the Democrats come back in. Just how Obama set up Trump. Obama set Trump up to be able to do this shit. And Trump's gonna set up the next maniac, because who's really in charge is Larry Ellison. Then he serves God knows what.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's what Whitney Webb said about this ramp up.

[Dave Smith]

I didn't want to believe her, but she was right.

[Jimmy Dore]

And Chris Hench too, right?

[Whitney Webb]

But Palantir, you know, also works extensively now in the private sector as well. They're a major AI engine for Wall street banks, for example. And they have different programs that are sold to different entities, but ultimately they are a massive contractor to essentially every U.S. intelligence agency. And that includes DHS and ICE, which a lot of the reporting, critical reporting on Palantir focuses on their contracts with ICE specifically. But all of that is intended to also be used against people that are not illegal immigrants. It's meant to be an entire dragnet of basically pre crime. And Palantir, in concordance with Poindexter's ambitions has been a major piloter of pre crime technology in the United States. I think they began doing that in New Orleans initially. They call it predictive policing is the term that, that they use. But a lot of other companies have attempted to also get in on this. One of the most notorious being PredPol, that was a partnership, I believe with UCLA and LAPD or something to that effect. And they're notoriously in accurate and they're almost always piloted in low income minority neighborhoods. In essence, what happens because the accuracy rate is so low is that you're creating this pipeline of people basically being sent to prison or you know, being caught up in crimes that are very petty. But I mean, you're just sending police to all these areas in a relatively, you know, discriminatory way.

[Jimmy Dore]

And then so, so it's kind of like how they did stop and frisk in New York, which by the way stopped and frisked 95% innocent people. So what they're, but they're now they're doing is they're making it tech and they're pointing it at you. Yeah, so they're doing it to everybody now.

[Dave Smith]

Stop and frisk in New York. And I remember people being for this and I couldn't believe it because I know if I was just being stopped for no reason, I would get real mad about that because I'm late a lot, you know, and it turns out. Okay, but they're catching gun crimes, right? They're catching guns. No, they actually found guns less than before they started doing stop and frisk less. So what's the point of this? Oh, it was pot busts. Now pots legal. But that was them draining resources of people with weed. And I saw it on my block all the time. Cops tackling weed dealers.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay, ready? Here's what she says.

[Whitney Webb]

And in some of these areas where Palantir ended up leaving, another Peter Thiel backed up entity called Carbine also has a predictive policing component, but has been sort of taking over 9911 emergency call systems throughout the United States, which is, you know, generally at the county level. But this is a company that, that wasn't just found, you know, funded by Peter Thiel. It was funded by Jeffrey Epstein and was led for a significant amount of time by Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister as well, and has sort of expanded outwards. So a lot of Poindexter's ambitions, unfortunately have been coming true at a really rapid pace.

[Jimmy Dore]

So go ahead, turn Kurt up.

[Dave Smith]

I didn't know that part, that it was Epstein. And that's news.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so that. And now. So there you go.

[Dave Smith]

What's the name of the company one more time so we could hear carbine. And they control 91 1. So if you go help, I'm trapped with Jeffrey Epstein and they're going to do something. It's all taken care of.

[Jimmy Dore]

So. So stop for a second. Stop getting caught up in the news cycle and think about why are they. Why would they do it this way? Why would they do it this way? And why aren't they actually going after the people taking Americans jobs? Well, it's to. It's all those reasons we just said in this video. All those reasons. It's a district definitely to keep you distracted from the things that they are doing and are not doing. And it's to keep us fighting each other. And it's to set the groundwork for this surveillance state that is now pointed at you.

[Dave Smith]

By the way, any influencer that you see who's not saying the right thing on this, I promise you, I'm actually personally shocked as a pretty cynical guy at the amount of these people who literally will tell you to your face, I'll say whatever makes my. Makes me money. I mean, like a lot of them, Jimmy, a lot of them, you don't.

[Jimmy Dore]

Have to tell me. I know who they are.

[Dave Smith]

But I mean, where they. Some of them will deny it, but I'm just shocked at people that would say it out loud. And I'm like, what? Why would you say that to me?

So the point of this segment is to highlight how the government, no matter how you feel about that shooting in Minneapolis, that how the government is just blatantly lying about it. So that's the point of this. So here's Stephen Miller. He said a domestic terrorist tried to assassinate federal law enforcement. And this is your. So that guy, we all saw the video and I'm going to show you a shortened version of it. But the guy wasn't attacking the ice. He was standing there filming them. And then he tried to help a lady up who was pushed out in the snow and pepper sprayed. And then they attacked him, they disarmed him, and then they executed him. They took his gun away, which he had legally. So when he says a terrorist tried to assassinate. No, if he actually showed up at that protest, had his gun out and then actually started shooting it, then that would be true. But that is the exact opposite of what happened. He was legally, according to the Constitution and state law in Minnesota, carrying a gun legally. He never pulled it out. He never pointed it at a cop, never did anything. In fact, the cops went over to him, took the gun out of him, and then they shot him. So the point of this segment and which I got the idea for this watching my friend Glenn Greenwald's show was that they're just li. So you should be upset that they're lying. Like, why do you, why is it okay that the government lie? It's not okay. You should be upset. Should be upset when Joe Biden does it and Kamala Harris do it. You should be upset when Kristi Noem and Donald Trump and J.D. vance do it. And Stephen Miller. So here's another one. Here's Kristi Noem. Kristi Noem's new definition of domestic terrorism being a legal gun owner near federal agents. Alex Preddy had a permit, no criminal record, and he was an ICU nurse at the Veterans Administration. They killed him first. Now they're redefining your rights to justify it. Let's listen.

[Kristi Noem]

Yes, the White House has labeled the man who was killed in Minnesota as a domestic terrorist. Is that something you agree with? And have you seen any evidence to. When you perpetuate violence against a government because of ideological reasons and for reasons to resist and perpetuate violence, that is the definition of domestic terrorism. This individual who came with weapons and ammunition to stop a law enforcement operation of federal law enforcement officers committed an act of domestic terrorism. That's the facts.

[Jimmy Dore]

So according to Kristi Noem, the Constitution is now an act of terrorism because the constitution allowed that guy to show up there with a gun. And as we've showed you before, right wingers have traditionally showed up to peaceful protests carrying open carrying guns like they did during COVID when they would go and protest lockdowns in front of state capitols and they'd have these big long guns and it was legal and everybody supported this. Now she's saying just the act of you having a legal gun makes you able to be shot by the. She's pretending that they're attacked. That so. So the point of this video is, is to show you how they're lying. And they have to lie because if they don't lie, it'll. The mask will be pulled off and you'll see who they really are. They're the terrorists. They're killing law abiding, constitutional abiding citizens right now. And trying to say that following the constitution makes you a terrorist. That's what she just said. Here's what Glenn Green Greenwald. He breaks it down.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Watch as she describes them.

[Kristi Noem]

Meter, semi, automatic, handgun. The officers attempted to disarm them.

[Jimmy Dore]

So he. What he's doing is showing you what's happening and her describing it and how they don't fit together.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Watch as she describes them.

[Kristi Noem]

Meter, semi, automatic, handgun. The officers attack.

[Jimmy Dore]

So the officers came up to him. He was standing there with his phone, not his gun with his phone. And the cops approached him. They attacked him. He didn't attack the cops. And that's the exact opposite of what she's saying.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Watch as she describes them.

[Kristi Noem]

Semi, automatic, handgun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's not what happened. They didn't even know he had a gun on him until he got on the ground. They approached him for doing a constitutionally legal filming of the cops. That's in the constitution. You can do that.

[Kristi Noem]

But the armed suspect reacted violently. Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow officers around him. An agent fired defensive shots. Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject, but he was pronounced dead.

[Glenn Greenwald]

All right, here's another one with Christine.

[Kristi Noem]

Fearing for his life and for the lives of his fellow.

[Glenn Greenwald]

And it goes on a little bit longer here. And again, we just watched that. He didn't go up to them violently. He didn't go up to them with a gun or with any attempt to hit them. In fact, the first altercation physically between them was when the ICE agent sprayed him in the face while he was trying to help A woman who they had pushed on the ground. And again, you can say people shouldn't shove protest with guns. Even though a staple of right wing protest, especially during the COVID era, was showing up not just with pistols hidden, but with huge AR15s displayed. They entered the Michigan State Capitol twice, a protest lockdowns. They confronted security and other Capitol police who were there. Nobody gunned them down on the ground at all. If you take a gun to a protest, it means that somehow you're intending to do violence. That was something Christine Ohm said yesterday as well in a press conference, which was people who want to protest take signs, they don't take guns. Even though right wing protests across America have very flamboyantly displayed guns for a very long time. So here is what her claim is in a little bit more of an elaborated form.

[Kristi Noem]

Officers around him, an agent, fired defensive shots. Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds. He also had no id. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Again, whatever your views are on ice deportations. And what happened here does. Is there anybody who even remotely believes that's what happened, that he showed up to inflict basically to go massacre law enforcement? And it's particularly bizarre to watch conservatives who have long heralded the second Amendment as one of our most cherished rights, basically saying that if you're carrying a gun, even if you don't brandish it, even if you don't pull it out, even if you don't try and use it, it's just the, the presence of the gun itself, even though you're legally carrying it, somehow means that you are so suspect, so likely to engage in violence that it then becomes permissible to shoot you. What happens to the second Amendment if that's the new standard? And a lot of conservative officials were making that argument, oh, if you have a gun, even if you don't use it, even if you're not pulling it out, even if you're not brandishing it, even you're not trying to use it, just the fact that you have a gun in the eyes of law enforcement can make you dangerous. If, if you're not complying. What happened to the, the whole decades long conservative view that we have the right to carry arms, that it doesn't mean that we're threats to the state, that one of the main reasons to carry arms is to guard against government tyranny and excessive force and violence and authoritarianism by the government.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's a. Here's one more video of him.

[Glenn Greenwald]

I just want to remind you, by.

[Jimmy Dore]

The way, what a big liar that Christy Gnome is.

[Glenn Greenwald]

This might seem like a small example in the scheme of what we're discussing, but this is what I want to focus on, government lying and the unflinching and unapologetic way that they continuously do it. And obviously it's not unique to the Trump administration. I spent many years documenting all sorts of government lies, big and small. But it's still something we always ought to object to because of how dangerous that is, how eroding of trust that is of the population in the government. You need trust and credibility if you're gonna put armed agents on the street of the United States. And this is the sort of thing that just destroys it. Being able to watch videos and contrast it with what government officials are telling you and seeing the absolute contrast between the truth and what they're saying. Remember Christine wrote a book in 2024 filled with lies, one of which was that she met Kim Jong Un because she was trying to establish herself as this national figure, saying, I've stared down the little dictators around the world. I remember that time I met Kim Jong Un and I sat across the table and it turns out Christine never met Kim Jong. The whole thing was a complete lie, a whole. Just a fabrication that was in her book. And she went on Face the Nation, cbs, Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan. Margaret Brennan, who asked her about this. And she was incapable of admitting that what she said was false. All she had to do was say, yes, I did say that. I misremembered it. It was put in by somebody else. She just couldn't watch what happens here. This is. This is a pathological liar. Somebody who just lies without having it even bother them. Without even being an out of the ordinary experience.

[Kristi Noem]

Some world leaders and one specific one quote. I remember when I met with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. I'm sure he underestimated me, having no clue about my experience staring down little tyrants. Been a children's pastor after all. Did you meet Kim Jong Un? You know, as soon as this was brought to my attention, I certainly made some changes and looked at this.

[Glenn Greenwald]

The question was, did you meet Kim Jong Un? A very simple question like, no, I didn't. And here's why. It ended up in the book anyhow, and we're taking it out because we care about. No, she just can't answer it. Listen to this, this passage.

[Kristi Noem]

And I've met with many, many world leaders. I've traveled around the world. As soon as it was brought to my attention, we went forward and have made some edits. So I'm glad that this book is being released in a couple of days and that those edits will be in place place and that people will, will have the updated version. So you did not meet with Kim Jong Un. That's what you're saying?

[Glenn Greenwald]

Okay, that's a second opportunity to say yes, that's what I'm saying. I did not meet with Kim Jong Un and watch what happens.

[Kristi Noem]

Instead, I met with many, many world leaders. Many world leaders.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Imagine just in your everyday life, you, you say to somebody, hey, you told me that you met with Jack Jones, but I asked Jack Jones and other people and turned out you never met with Jack Jones. Did you meet with Jack Jones? And the person just can't say, ah, you know what? No, I didn't. I misremembered. I thought I had. Instead they're like, I met with many, many people, many, many people in my life. And once this was brought to my attention, we move forward and I'm really happy that everyone's going to get to hear what I have to say. I know, but I'm asking, did you ever meet Jack Jones?

[Jimmy Dore]

You didn't, right?

[Glenn Greenwald]

And the person looks at you and says, in my life, I have met. And they just won't answer. And obviously you're gonna walk away saying, this person has an extremely tenuous relationship to the truth. An extreme ease about lying. Like no nervousness, just ordinary lying that they've obviously done throughout their life and just do when they wake up. That's what this looks like to me.

[Kristi Noem]

Traveled around the world, I think I've talked extensively in this book about my time serving in Congress, my time as governor before governor, some of the travels that I've had. I'm not going to talk about my specific meetings with world leaders. I'm just not going to do that. This anecdote shouldn't have been in the book. And as soon as it was brought to my attention, I made sure that that was adjusted.

[Glenn Greenwald]

So I'm not going to talk about my meetings with world leaders. It's too delicate, it's too sensitive. I operated, this is in 2024, when she was a member of Congress, that I'm not going to talk about my meeting. You're the one who wrote in the book about your meeting with World Leaders, you're. The whole reason why it's a discussion is because you said, I met with Kim Jong Un and I stared him down and that little ran away with his tail between his legs. That's how tough I am. The whole thing was a complete lie. And instead of just admitting it, she's like, I'm not gonna. My meetings with world leaders are extremely sensitive and confidential. So these are the kinds of people we're dealing with now. I think what bothered a lot of people. I know what bothered me the most is that, okay, it's normal for the government to come out and defend ICE agents in a case like this. I think responsible government officials say things like we're wait for the investigation. It seems like they acted in self defense. You know, they have very difficult job. There's whatever that I think is all within the realm of what's reasonable, even expected. But they are now instantly like instinctively and falsely maligning the people, the American citizens who their agents kill by making up wild stories about them that are so blatantly false. Here is Greg Bovino, who is a senior ICE official. He's in charge of the administration's ICE operations in Minneapolis. Here's what he said in his press conference.

[Jimmy Dore]

The suspect also had two loaded magazines and no accessible id. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Same thing that Christine Ohm said. I mean, if he had wanted that, he would have pulled his gun out when he saw a gathering of ICE agents and gone over and just shot as many as he could.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, it's so Blake, what was he waiting for? If he really wanted to do, can inflict the maximum amount of damage, why did he not take his gun out ever? That's what you would do. You would show up and you'd start shooting them. You wouldn't start filming them with your camera.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Not what he was doing. It's so. They also said the same thing about Renee Good. Which again, to me it looked like, as I said from the beginning, she was trying to pull away from those officers. She didn't try and hit an officer. She actually turned her wheel to the right exactly as you would do if you were trying to get away from them. But okay, I understand people saw that differently. But then they went and called her a domestic terrorist. Made the same claims about her that she showed up there that day to try and do as much harm as possible to as many federal agents as she could. Called her a domestic terrorist as well. Obviously an absolute lie. That's not who she was. That's not what she was there for.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here is the press conference of Trump's press secretary talking about this, and she refuses to. So. But they're not defending this shooting. So Trump isn't defending this shooting. In fact, he's smart when he talks about it. He pivots to the Ilhan Omar and the Somalian fraud that they say they uncovered, which just shows that that Nick Smiley guy was a plant. But anyway, so that's what. So watch her. She doesn't really. So Trump's press secretary, and thus Trump, refuses to endorse the false accusations that Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller disgustingly launched against Alex Peretti, that he was a domestic terrorist. Let's watch.

[Kristi Noem]

Secretary Noem said Alex Preddy committed an act of domestic terrorism. Stephen Miller label Preddy a domestic terrorist. Does the president agree with them? Look, as I've said, I have not heard the President characterize Mr. Freddy in that way. However, I have heard the president say he wants to let the facts and the investigation lead itself.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they're not buying it. So Trump's own White House isn't buying what Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, that ass wipe at the press conference in Minneapolis is saying. Nobody believes them. Nobody's backing them up. Here's. Here's what. In fact, here's. I got this from do Dissonance. It's Fox News GOP Senator Cassidy breaks with Trump over deadly shooting by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis. He says the events in Minneapolis are incredibly disturbing. The credibility of ICE and DHS are at stake. There must be a full joint federal and state investigation. We can trust the American people with the truth. Hmm. So this is so Trump, his press secretary, this Republican senator. They're not backing Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem's version of what happened there because there's video of it. And we all saw that the ICE agent literally disarmed a guy and then killed him.

[Kristi Noem]

Aid to the subject, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The suspect also had two magazines with ammunition in them that held dozens of rounds. He also had no id. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived at the scene to inflict maximum damage on individuals and to kill law enforcement.

[Jimmy Dore]

So nobody's buying this. Nobody's buying this.

[George Clooney]

What the did you just do? What the did you just do? What the.

[Jimmy Dore]

There's still a lot we don't know about.

[Dave Smith]

They want civil war. They all want civil war. That's what this is. Deliberately provoking a civil war. They're trying to do Everything. And if they don't get one, they're going to keep doing more of this.

[Jimmy Dore]

So I think it's the setup there, there's a lot. I think it's a distract. But we're going to get to do a whole segment about what exactly is the purpose of this. I mean, ICE going and terrorizing cities. We're going to figure, we're going to find out, we're going to talk about it, but not right now. Here's what David Smith says. Dave Smith says, I am an immigration restrictionist. I believe that we have the right to remove any and all people who entered our country illegally. Also, ICE is out of effing control. A bunch of pussies drunk on power going around intentionally escalating violent interactions and intimidating U.S. citizens. They create these tragic situations. And after this gigantic show of force, they won't deport a fraction of the illegals who entered under Biden. This is simply not worth it. So there you go. Dave Smith, who was a Trumper, he told everybody to vote for Trump, and he's for immigration and getting people out who are here illegally. He's not for this. So he's not for this. Trump isn't for it, his press secretary's not for it, and now GOP senators are not for it. So they're losing. Just about everybody is. My point is they're losing. Just.

[Dave Smith]

This is crazy. I'm like paranoid now from watching this. This is worse than the Dems.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they murder a US Citizen, and then they have to lie about them. And we see them lying about them. And Trump knows they're lying about them. That's why he's not backing them. His press secretary knows they're lying about them. That's why. And the GOP senator knows they're lying about him, which is why he's calling for an investigation. And here is a veteran and here's what he has to say about these people lying. After killing Preddy Already Trump and his.

[George Clooney]

Goons are trying to destroy Alex Preddy's.

[Jimmy Dore]

Reputation with bullshit accusations. Actually, Trump isn't doing that. But anyway. But the people around him are.

[George Clooney]

My name is Frederick Pogue. I was a corporal in the United States Marine Corps Reserves.

[Jimmy Dore]

Matt Gordon, Sergeant, United States Marine Corps. I was in from 2002 to 2011.

[George Clooney]

And I am a patient at the.

[Jimmy Dore]

Syracuse VA. Anthony Robinson, E5, United States Marine Corps.

[George Clooney]

My name is Curtis Register. I was a major in the United States Marine Corps serving from 2011, 2021. The Manchester VA system and its nurses helped save My life.

[Kristi Noem]

Kristen Cravens Hutton, United States Army.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Corporal David Hutton, Sergeant First Class, retired Army.

[Kristi Noem]

Melissa Corrigan, United States Navy, Petty Officer second Class. I want to talk about Alex Preddy.

[Jimmy Dore]

The man shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis this morning. He was a nurse with the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

[George Clooney]

Alex took pride in taking care of his veterans.

[Jimmy Dore]

All of us are gutted by his death.

[Kristi Noem]

Whether you knew Alex Preddy or not, every veteran who knows VA nurses should be outraged by his killing.

[George Clooney]

And that's why we as veterans must.

[Jimmy Dore]

Speak up, because already Trump and his goons are trying to destroy Alex Preddy's reputation with accusations. White House aide Stephen Miller is trying to smear Alex Preddy as a Dominican domestic terrorist.

[Kristi Noem]

I am enraged by the death of Alex Peretti. Let's call it what it is, the unwarranted killing of not just an American.

[Glenn Greenwald]

We swore to defend, but of a.

[George Clooney]

Man who dedicated his life to our care.

[Kristi Noem]

A life cut short by authoritarian brutality.

[Jimmy Dore]

To every veteran.

[Glenn Greenwald]

To every American.

[Jimmy Dore]

Don't let Trump and Miller dishonor the life of Alex Preddy and his service to America's veterans. They took his life, Wife. Don't let them take his name. So there you go. So there are veterans standing up for this guy because this guy had dedicated his life to taking care of veterans and he was doing his Second Amendment constitutionally protected right of legally carrying a firearm. They took his firearm. It'd be one thing if he pointed the firearm at him and they killed him, that nobody would have a problem with that. Everybody, like, yeah, well, that's what you get for pointing a gun at. He didn't do that. He was legally carrying. They took the gun away from him and then they executed him. And why? Because these guys have less training than a barber. These guys. You get it takes more training to be a cashier at Target than it does to be an ICE agent. That's most likely why. And we're going to talk about it in the next segment. What exactly is this all about? Why is ICE really doing this? Civil War? What's the point of it? We're going to talk about that. This guy was the head of ICE in Minneapolis. And let's listen. He said this about the recent shooting. Had two loaded magazines and no accessible id. This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement. So they're talking about a Veteran Affairs ICU nurse who they just executed after they took his gun away from him. Then they killed him. He never pulled his gun. And so this Is such a lie by the government and law enforcement that now people are scrambling. This is such a lie.

[Dave Smith]

They're putting out fake videos of the guy, and it's coming from ice. I guarantee it. Somebody sent it to me. Somebody, you know, and it was a fake version. The guy who got killed, it wasn't the same guy. They put out a video of some other piece of shit, and they're trying to muddy the water because they know what they did.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this guy is. That's such a lie, and this is such a horrible thing that they killed an ICU nurse who was not threatening anybody, and they took his gun away and he was legally carrying it. They took it away and then killed him. He didn't pull it on the cops, didn't do that. He was just filming them with the phone. They killed. They take his gun away, they kill him, and then they lie and say, oh, he was showing up to do maximum damage. Really, he didn't do any damage. A guy who showed up with a gun and to do maximum damage, you think he would have done some. He didn't do any because he never pulled his gun. In fact, the ICE cops took his gun away from him and then they killed him. So that guy is lying, and everybody now knows he's lying. And so guess what? Trump fired him.

[Dave Smith]

Oh, Trump's not backing it up. So, hey, imbeciles that were telling me this is good what they're doing. Your boy Trump? Don't think so.

[Jimmy Dore]

So he just fired him. Bovino. That guy's name. Is Bovino. Removed from his role as U.S. border Patrol commander at large, the Atlantic reports. Let's listen. Gregory Bovino has been removed from his role as the commander at large for the U.S. border Patrol and will return to his former job in California, where he is expected to retire soon. The Atlantic reported on Monday, citing Homeland Security official and two people with knowledge of the change. The United States Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Earlier on Monday, Trump and Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz each struck a conciliatory tone after a private phone call about immigration enforcement, a sign the two sides were seeking a way to end their standoff over a deportation drive that has claimed the lives of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. He's expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, which is, if you're watching this video, probably that means. Today, federal officials told NBC News Border Patrol plans to reduce the number of its agents in the city sometime this week. So they're getting rid of so ICE is taking their. They're leaving this week.

[Dave Smith]

That dumb bitch. Oh, she's DHS.

[Jimmy Dore]

President Donald Trump, who said his administration is reviewing everything about the shooting, is sending border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight to manage the ICE operations on the ground. An impeachment resolution against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has grown to more than 100 co sponsors in the House. In the wake of Preddy's killing, a number of Democratic senators have also said they would not vote for an appropriation bill that includes funding for the Department of Homeland Security, raising the possibility of another government shutdown. We'll be right back with more of this story after a brief message from our sponsor. Hey. For decades, our dietary guidelines have pushed low fat, low salt, eat less. While the food supply is filled with chemicals, seed oils and Ultra processed junk, RFK Jr just released new dietary guidelines and it's a major shift. For the first time, the federal government's openly calling out the real driver of chronic disease, ultra processed food. These guidelines pull America back to real food while warning against the foods that that are destroying us. Because real damage isn't always visible. The problem is the damage underneath. Inflammation, blood sugar instability, hormone disruption and metabolic dysfunction. And RFK isn't chasing a diet trend. He eats like someone who understands your gut controls your whole system, mainly meat.

[Dave Smith]

And then fermented vegetable, anything fermented. So a lot of kimchi and all kinds of fermented vegetables. And it's really, really, I would say it's dramatically changed my, you know, everything.

[Jimmy Dore]

The only issue is that it's not easy to eat kimchi every day. And now you can get all the benefits of kimchi in a convenient daily capsule with Kimchi one.

And here from the Guardian, some federal agents to leave Minneapolis on Tuesday. So if you're watching this as a video after my live stream, that means today. So they're leaving. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Free said he spoke with President Donald Trump today, asserting that some federal agents will begin leaving the area tomorrow. They may be and I will continue pushing for the rest involved in this operation to go, whoa. So he talked. So they talked to Trump. And Trump is like, okay, I'm firing the guy who was in charge when this shooting happened and the guy who lied about the shooting. And I'm also going to take my ICE agents out of Minneapolis. We're going to start doing it right now.

[Dave Smith]

Start Patel be prisoned.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. For his part, Trump said that lots of progress is being made and that his conversation with Mayor Freehouse was good. Frey is slated to meet with Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Tuesday to discuss next steps. According to the mayor, Minneapolis will continue to cooperate with state and local law enforcement on real criminal investigations, but we will not participate in unconstitutional arrests of our neighbors or enforce federal immigration law. Violent criminals should be held accountable based on the crimes they commit, not based on where they are from. CNN is reporting that Border Patrol official Gregory Bevino's access to his social media accounts was suspended. The move comes after Bovino responded to posts about the fatal shooting of a 37 year old Alex Preddy over the weekend, accusing Preddy of assaulting immigration agents before he was shot dead. He did not assault them, Bovino claims. Claims has not been supported by videos of the killing. On Saturday, an official for the Department of Homeland Security that Bovino has not been removed from his duties after reports saying otherwise. Oh, really? A federal court in Minneapolis heard arguments on Monday on whether the Trump administration deployment of 3,000 immigration agents in Minnesota has crossed the line from law enforcement into unconstitutional occupation. Hours later, Kate Menendez, The Biden appointed U.S. district Judge overseeing the case, ordered the federal government to respond to the assertion that the Trump administration so called Operation Metro Surge Enforcement campaign was intended to punish plaintiffs for adopting sanctuary laws and policies. She gave the Trump administration lawyers until Wednesday evening to respond, suggesting a ruling was not imminent. The extraordinary legal question Centers on the 10th Amendment, which reserves to the states all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government in the Constitution. The lawyers from Minnesota and the cities in Minneapolis and St. Paul claim in their suit that Operation Metro Surge has become so intrusive and dangerous that it amounts to an illegal occupation of the state. So that's the big news right now. Trump, they're firing the head. He's going to be sent to California to retire and they're getting their ICE agents out of Minneapolis starting Tuesday. So that's the big news there. We already showed you that Republican senators are wanting to have hearings over what ICE is doing. We also showed you that Donald Trump is not supporting the story that Kristi Noem is telling about what happened in Minneapolis with that shooting of that ICU nurse. And neither is his press secretary supporting the version of what Kristi Noem said or what that Bovino guy said. Trump is not backing that up. In fact, he's doing the opposite. He's talking with the mayor, he's talking with the governor. They're coming to a meeting. He's taking. He's firing that guy, and he's taken Ice out. So that's what it looks like. That's what it looks like. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?

[George Clooney]

Bonjour, mon ami. It's your old buddy George Clooney. The Clunes.

[Jimmy Dore]

Friend of the show. Clooney. How are you, George?

[George Clooney]

Or should I say Le Clunes? Jimmy. Thanks for asking. I am doing fantastique.

[Jimmy Dore]

What's with all the French talk, George?

[George Clooney]

Jimmy, baby, haven't you heard? My gazelle like wife, Amal and I have graciously been granted French citizenship.

[Jimmy Dore]

What?

[George Clooney]

As you know, we have homes all around the world, but our primary residence is in France because we decided to raise our children here. Tres bien.

[Jimmy Dore]

No kidding. Wow. How interesting.

[George Clooney]

Yeah, it's true. Yes, Jimmy, I. Oh, by the way, have you heard about Timothy Busfield? Jesus Christ. More like dirty something. Anyway, we thought rural France would be a more normal place to raise children than Hollywood.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, well, okay. What exactly is your reasoning there, Jimmy?

[George Clooney]

It's no secret that kids of celebrities who grow up in Hollywood are up rich, they're famous for no reason, and they don't really have to work.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's a recipe for disaster.

[George Clooney]

Sakura Blue. And what a disaster it can be. They only have a handful of options. Either the kids are Nepo babies and become successful actors themselves, or they become a white rapper, a trans child, a drug addict who ODs, or a family annihilator. Right.

[Jimmy Dore]

Okay.

[George Clooney]

It's never like, hey, you hear about Nick Nolte's kid? Yeah. He became a civil engineer and works at Caldot now, studying traffic patterns.

[Jimmy Dore]

This is true.

[George Clooney]

So we wanted the opposite environment for our rugrats. Rural France, baby. Paparazzi is essentially illegal here. The French don't give a shit about fame. We can reside here in the country completely anonymously, no one bothering me. No one even really recognized me. Going to town for baguettes and wine, simple exchange of pleasantries, and I'm back home.

[Jimmy Dore]

Sounds nice.

[George Clooney]

It really is, Jimmy. Really, really is. George, I'm losing my fucking mind out here. Jimmy, help me.

[Jimmy Dore]

I thought so. What do you mean?

[George Clooney]

There's no action here, Jimmy. There's no party, no nothing. No one recognizes George Clooney. What kind of a hellscape is this? I'm walking around this empty mansion in a tuxedo with a tie undone and a martini glass just in case some sort of a fantasmic ghost party breaks out.

[Jimmy Dore]

What do you want me to do?

[George Clooney]

Come out here, man, Hang out. I'll fly you guys out on my jet.

[Jimmy Dore]

I can't, George. I got work to do.

[George Clooney]

Tried to get my buddies to move out here with me, but Brad Pitt has kids that he's busy not raising. And Matt Damon can't live anywhere they don't have Dunkin Donuts. He said France has pretty good coffee and pastries. And he called me the F word. Slur. I can't be here by myself.

[Jimmy Dore]

Jimmy, I don't know what to tell you.

[George Clooney]

At our house in London, it's always a party. At our villa In Italy, trust me, I am recognized. That entire boot is filled to the brim with star fuckers. It's obscene. Even in our place in Kentucky, near my parents, I'm a hometown boy done good. But here in France, Jimmy, I didn't really know what complete anonymity would feel like. And I hate it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Maybe there's a therapy for it.

[George Clooney]

There should be a goddamn movie star, for Christ's sakes. No one caring that I'm famous. It's unnatural, like I'm in an episode of the Twilight Zone. It's a nightmare I'm not waking up from.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, do your wife and children like it there?

[George Clooney]

Huh? Yeah, sure. I mean, I don't know. I haven't asked them. I assume so. Why wouldn't they? They're not the famous ones.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, what are you gonna do?

[George Clooney]

I don't know. I gotta leave. I gotta get back to Hollywood and get some fresh air. Go to the pool at the Chateau Marmont or something. At least for a weekend. Meet Don Cheadle in Vegas or some.

[Jimmy Dore]

Come on back, baby.

[George Clooney]

I can't believe I missed the Golden Globe so I could sit here in a drafty castle and eat quiche with my family. What was I thinking? I could have been sitting there with DiCaprio watching Bill Maher lose best comedy.

[Jimmy Dore]

Special to Ricky Gervais wins again. It always does.

[George Clooney]

Okay, that's it. I'm packing my and heading to Marseille. International it. I'll take the red eye. Jimmy, thanks again. I really appreciate it.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm not exactly sure what I did.

[George Clooney]

Neither am I. But what matters is that I was on the phone with you when I decided to leave my family. And I won't forget that. Thank you, my friend.

[Jimmy Dore]

You are welcome.

[George Clooney]

Oh, we still need to catch that drink sometime. That needs to happen. Yeah, probably not on this trip though. I'm kind of booked up socially.

[Jimmy Dore]

But you just decided to take this trip 30 seconds ago, George.

[George Clooney]

You know how it is, baby. Hollywood. Don't go changing on me, stranger. Au revoir. Must you die.

As a growing family, my husband and I love game night. Especially when it's Wayfair edition.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's do it.

[Glenn Greenwald]

You gotta name as many Wayfair furniture.

[Dave Smith]

And decor categories as you can.

[Glenn Greenwald]

Ready?

[Dave Smith]

Go.

[Kristi Noem]

Sofas, barstools, beds, ottomans, outdoor seating, bookshelves, kitchen tables, garden sheds, mid century modern lamps.

[Jimmy Dore]

Time. Nice.

[Dave Smith]

You got nine out of ten.

[Jimmy Dore]

A lot. Not too bad.
