The FBI recently raided John Bolton’s home over alleged mishandling of classified information, which is a bit ironic since Bolton is an unrepentant war-hawk who once criticized Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents himself. According to...

Come see me on tour in Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Appleton, Wisconsin, Rosemount, Illinois, Chicago, Louisville, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hermosa Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this?
B
Hello, Jimmy. This is former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.
A
Oh, hello again, Governor. How's the mayor election proceeding.
B
Jimmy? We are going gangbusters here at Cuomo for NYC headquarters. The energy here is contagious. It's truly amazing. Young, idealistic people, many of them young women just busting their humps for our vision of New York, working 18 hour days running back and forth, breasts and buttocks jiggling in the melee. It just. What was I talking about? Who was this again?
A
Governor, it's Jimmy Dore.
B
God damn it. You're the guy who records these phone calls and plays them on the Internet?
A
Yes. In fact, we're live right now.
B
Oh, God. And I just said that breast and buttock thing.
A
Yep.
B
While trying to put my lascivious past behind me. Fuck me. It's one giant disaster after another. I fucking hate it.
A
I thought your campaign was going well.
B
Not really. Not really. But we have two bold new strategies that are gonna nail that little weasel Zoron to the floor.
A
You don't like him, do you?
B
I hate him and I'm gonna break his fucking neck, I swear to fucking God.
A
Okay, settle down. What are the strategies?
B
The first step is to go absolutely batshit crazy on social media. And I mean me personally, like an uncle going through a divorce. Like you can tell there's something wrong. And all aimed at Zoron personally. And that's what I've been doing on Twitter. Some young people told me to do this and then started laughing.
A
I see.
B
I'm doing Meme Lord stuff, whatever that means. Something to do with memes, which are pictures. This is what I have been told. One I posted was like a boardroom proposal with a little cartoon guy saying, a mayor who has a job. Obviously aimed at notoriously unemployed piece of shit Zoran Kwame Mandan.
A
Okay, you know, this sounds sort of like when they attack Barack Obama for being a community organizer without much of a professional resume.
B
Right? Exactly. It is in that exact spirit. You're right, Jimmy.
A
And how did that work out?
B
Apples and oranges. Jimmy Obama had an African name with a Muslim middle name. Zoran has a Muslim name with an African middle name. Two very different situations. And let's be honest, this is New York. Muslims blew it the fuck up on 9 11. And everyone remembers. But that's strategy number three. We're saving that for last.
A
What's the second strategy?
B
Why, courting the support of Donald Trump, of course.
A
Are you serious?
B
Well, why wouldn't I be?
A
Because you're the Democratic candidate. He's a Republican president who was wildly unpopular with your party.
B
Jimmy, I'm in the political fight of my life. I simply cannot afford to suddenly start standing for something. It would ruin my brand. At the end of the day, Donald Trump is from New York City and a giant asshole. Jimmy, the asshole vote in the five boroughs is simply too big to ignore. I can't win without. And they are the one demographic group where Zoron is not leading in the polls. See that rice eating powder puff and want to beat him to death with hammers just like I do.
A
I'm sorry, Governor, please hold on, I'm getting another call. Hi, this is Jimmy Dorshaw. Jimmy speaking. Who is this?
B
Hey, this is Zorin Mandami. I feel like New York City should work for all New Yorkers. Wouldn't that be awesome?
A
Well, hello, Mr. Mondavi.
B
Well, well, well. Jimmy Dore and I were in a conversation and look who decided to stroll into the bullring. Hi, Governor. I saw some of your jabs you were taking at me on social media. At first I was like, oh, yeah, Twitter. I remember this place. Yes, I warned you there would be no holes barred. Sorry if what you saw hurt your little snowflake feelings. Yeah, okay. So, like, are you. Are you sort of, like, new to using the Internet? No. I have been using the Internet since it came out. Whenever. That was so long ago, I can't remember. Yeah, did your grandkids get you, like, an old person computer and get you, like, connected to the Internet and wi fi and all set up in your study or whatever? All right, you listen to me, you little shit. Also, you keep mentioning your dad all the time. Like no one my age knows who Mario Cuomo was. You keep my father's name out of your mouth, you fucking. I will rip your head off and down your windpipe. Wow. Okay. Well, this is, like, crazy. You don't know what crazy is. I see. You like to eat rice with your hands like an animal. Is that how you will eat your own shit off the floor after I beat it out of you? Zoran Kwame. Oh, my God. You're, like, insane, Jimmy. This is crazy.
A
Yeah, well, actually, I'm sorry, but I can't have actual threats like this on my.
B
Or else what? Or else what, Jimmy?
A
Or. Or else I hang up the phone.
B
Oh, Right, Yeah. Yeah. You do have that option, I suppose.
A
Yes, I most certainly do have that option.
B
Okay, well, just do me a favor and hang up on him, too. Okay. At least do that for me.
A
Not a problem. I don't want to listen to that voice any more than you do. We have to start the show. Good. Goodbye to both of you.
B
Bye. I know he was going to do that.
A
Wow. You know what else I knew he was going to do? He's probably going to. I'm going to be in New York telling jokes at Rutherford, New Jersey, then Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Appleton, Wisconsin, Rosemont, Illinois, Chicago, Louisville, Fort Wayne, Hermosa Beach, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Go to Jimmy Dore.com for a link for tickets. That was hilarious, Mike. Nice job.
B
Oh, my God. I want to go to your New York show. Can I get, like, comp tickets?
A
Is that. No, you Zoloft. You're doing very well. You could buy it. You could buy a ticket. It's not. It's not. It's not pricey, okay? Just 35 bucks. Not a big deal.
B
Okay, Yeah, I did. Maybe, like, maybe.
A
Yeah. Okay. Maybe. No. No. Okay, I'll see you, Zoloft.
B
All right. I just thought it might be Praxis and Mutual.
A
Yeah. No.
B
Type thing.
A
No, no.
B
Praxis.
A
No. No. All right.
B
Oh, we're not. We're not doing Praxis.
A
No Process. Is that what you're saying?
B
Praxis.
A
Access.
B
It's. Praxis is the practical implementation of Marxist.
A
Oh, Praxis. Yeah.
B
I said Praxis.
A
Okay. Praxis. Okay. All right, well, we have to run. We got a lot of show to get to.
B
Okay. All right.
A
Okay, bye. Establishment media sucks.
C
August lighting.
A
So good luck. I can't afford why he's fomenting this. Watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hit some head on. It's the chimney door show. John Bolton, the warmongering walrus who has got Trump derangement syndrome, who was in Trump's first cabinet, he was in his first administration, and he accused Trump of mishandling classified documents. Isn't it interesting? The same time that Trump was accused of mishandling classified documents and the FBI raided his home, Joe Biden also had boxes of classified documents in his garage. And they didn't prosecute him. You know why? Because they said, well, a D.C. jury would never convict him, they'd feel sorry for him because he's demented. And so they did it. But the FBI tried to prosecute Trump over classified documents, and it Turns out they staged the crime scene, that it was all met. Just like Russiagate. It was manufactured. And so here we go. John Bolton has got. He had his house raided by the FBI Caspitel over the same kind of thing. But guess what, there's some more inside information we got from Steve Bannon's war room about how this all came together. Here's the thing you don't know. Let's play it.
C
I actually have an exclusive report on all of this that I even posted on Twitter yet came in just as I was coming in to get ready for the. The hit here. So this is what I'm getting. This is going to be a war room exclusive here from Human Events that CIA Director John Ratcliffe provided Cash patel access to U.S. intelligence that served as the basis for the warrant to raid Bolton's house. So this is basically what we were thinking about. And this is individual familiar is telling me this. They're saying Bolton disingenuously attacked Trump for mishandling classified information. It will go down as one of the most audacious and ironic acts of malice in political history. Bolton should have been throwing stones in his now raided glass house. And this was something, I think, Steve, you and I talked about it when John Bolton's book came out, that he was known for these yellow legal pads, that he would take notes during every single meeting that was going on when he was the national security adviser. And there were a lot of questions as to what exactly was the handling of those notes. Did those yellow legal pads make it home to him? And because there was a lot of information that was in there that also ended up in his book, which was publicized. And by the way, part of which was leaked to the New York Times even went back to my own reporting on this, part of which was leaked to the New York Times before it even came out in publication. So there's a lot of questions about who rel. Who leaked it in the first place. Was it leaked during that. During that period where they're supposed to be scrubbing it for classified. And these yellow legal pads, what information did he take? Because classified information, Here's a great example. So even if you don't have documents, if the information that you have written down on your documents is classified and you take your document home, that's still taking classified information out of a classified area, that's still taking out of the skip. So if you're in. If you're in a position like the Oval, if you're in the Situation Room, etcetera, You can't just take that home. And in fact, the information in your mind is still also classified. That's why you have a lifetime NDA. That's just the nature of classified information. So I know there's a lot of people who focus on documents. I'm certain there, I'm sure there's going to be documents that we're talking about here, but this is very clear. It's information that is classified, not a piece of paper.
A
So I didn't know that. I didn't know that it was information that's classified and not a piece of paper. So. So him. Yeah, I didn't know about him taking the yellow pad and legal notes, copious notes, as they say. And so I was watching Stephen Gardner shows, but not my show a couple of times, and he said that he's heard that John Bolton has gotten a lot of money. He's got, he's gotten very wealthy recently, and nobody really knows where he's gotten that money from. And so the implication is that he was selling state, state secrets. Now, I don't know. Again, I can't verify the, the veracity of that accusation, but I wouldn't put anything past John Bolton, a guy who likes to overthrow governments and make people's lives miserable and slaughter people for kicks. Like, that's just his, that's just his M.O. so that was pretty interesting that it was the head of the CIA, Ratcliffe, who gave the information to Cash Patel. I wonder what that was. And that he, he used to take these notes on these yellow legal pads and you can't take that home. You can't do that. And it's just ironic that. And now people are, you see all over Twitter, that's the only social media I go on, and people are saying, like, my God, this is retribution. This is weaponization of the, like, where the f. Have you guys been for the last five years? This is what you're talking about. This is the problem. How about when Obama tapped every phone that. In Trump's campaign, What was that on a, on a BS thing where they had to get, they got, they had to lie to the FISA court so they could put a tap on Trump's phone and they still couldn't catch him doing a crime. What about when they did four cases of Lawfare again? How about when they tried to, when they raided Trump's house for the same thing? So, but it's only, it's only weaponization of the government when Donald Trump does it. Well, the problem here is that the Democrats open the door for Donald Trump to do this sort of thing. And you know, he never did, he never did lock up Hillary Clinton. He never investigated her, he never raided her home, he never went through her email server. He never did any of that stuff. And people were freaking out just because he threatened to do that during the campaign, but he didn't. And then, so four years go by, the Trump administration, he doesn't prosecute any of his political enemies, any of the people who were doing Russiagate, any of that stuff. And then all of a sudden, they kept nonstop doing it to him, making up the most ridiculous charges to try to make sure he could. So that was the weaponization. And they, I'm not the first, but they, the Democrats are the ones who open the door to this. And so now you don't. That's like a cry bully, right? You can. How dare you do what we've been doing to you for the last eight years. How dare you. And again, you don't have to like Trump to see that this is, this was a precedent and set by the Democrats. So I, and you know, John Bolton, he may be the one guy that, because the, if you have, because you have to try this case in Washington D.C. which is why they tried all those January six cases in D.C. because the vote, the voting pool or the jury pool is I think, somewhere around 80 or 90% Democrat. So the one guy, I think that they could get a conviction, conviction out in D.C. would be John Bolton that Trump is trying to prosecute. I mean, because Bolton's not a Democrat and Bolton is wildly hated by everybody. So I think that this might have some legs. I thought it was funny how people just came out. Well, not funny, but it was very telling and revealing how partisan people are and how Trump deranged they are when they were saying that this is just political retribution. Well, do you know what they're looking for? Do you know what the evidence is? Do you know what he's even being charged? You don't know anything about anything. All you see is that this happened, by the way, they raided everybody. All of Trump's lawyers, houses, they raided, they raided Trump's house in Mar a Lago, they raided Roger Stone at 3 in the morning. This is not. They set the precedents for this. They set the precedent for this. And so this is just, I don't know. There's got to be a term for what they're doing. I say it's a cry bully. But yeah, this. Talk about a double standard. Talk about hypocrisy. Talk about again, Trump derangement syndrome, never stopping. I think I thought everybody should be happy that somebody finally is going after John Bolton. John Bolton's been wildly and widely hated and despised since he was in the Bush administration. They used to, people used to boo him when he walked down the street. And so no kidding. I read police, I read the newspaper reports of that when he was in the Bush administration. So he's very hated. He never met a country he didn't want to overthrow and steal their natural resources. So I think that's, that was pretty interesting information. I hadn't heard any of that. And I, I hope he goes to jail so badly. I hope he goes to jail. And I bet he did whatever they're saying he did. I don't think they, they would raid. I really don't think that, that they might, but I don't think that they would, that they would raid his house unless they had something on him. Unlike the previous administration, who actually raided Trump's house and planted evidence, which is what they, they staged the crime scene. It was staged, which is why that case got dismissed. Staged by who? The FBI. And so now Trump is in charge of the FBI and they're going after John Bolton, who accused Trump of doing the exact thing he's being investigated for. Now, of course, he is. So fantastic. Hope he goes to jail. I hope everybody's enjoying it. So, you know, I mean, most of the Trump administration not enjoying, but I'm enjoying parts of it. And this would be. I'm not going to deny myself the joy just because I disagree with other things that Trump is doing. Just because Trump bombed Iran and is continuing to fund a genocide in Gaza. I'm not going to let that rob me of the joy of watching John Bolton's house get raided and him get prosecuted. That would be fat. If that guy ended up in jail. That would, it would be so worth a lot. I wouldn't say everything, but it would really. And make up for a lot this, it might even make up for the Epstein files. I don't know. I'm not saying it will, but it was just, it's really. That's. That guy has been, you know, a cancer on America since the, at least the Bush. And that's when I became aware of him. So now 25 years. So I would love to see something happen to that guy. I agree.
D
Jimmy. 100. You know, when I first, When I first heard Bolton's home was raided, I was like, oh, my God, you're kidding. Why would they raid Michael Bolton's home? Is this music? Then? I figured it out. I'm with you, Jim.

Listen. Hey, guess what? Israel did a double tap on a hospital. Do you know what a double tap is? It's when they bomb somebody and then people come to help the people they just bombed and killed, and then they bombed the rescue people. So Israel just did that again. And then. And. But there's a little twist in this. Benjamin Netanyahu made a nice tweet about it. But let's get to the story. Let's go to it.
D
All right. Israel hits Gaza hospital, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists.
A
Isn't that weird? They. They remember the first time they bombed a hospital in. In Gaza. And it was a big. It was a big scandal for a couple of weeks. And Israel had to plant evidence that said that Hamas was operating out of that hospital. But they. They weren't. And so it was like almost an international scandal. And then they just went on to bomb every single hospital in Gaza. And nobody cared after that. Oh, people only cared about the first one. And so here we are. They found one more hospital in Gaza to bomb and they did it. So let's go.
D
Israel struck Nasser Hospital in the south of the Gaza Strip on Monday, killing at least 20 people, including five journalists who worked for Reuters, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and others. Cameraman Hussam Al Masri, a Reuters contractor, was killed near a live broadcasting position operated by Reuters on an upper floor just below the roof of the hospital in Khan Younis in an initial strike, Palestinian health officials said. Officials at the hospital and witnesses said Israel then struck the site a second time, killing other. Killing other journalists, as well as rescue workers and medics who had rushed to the scene to help the journalists killed, including Mariam Abou Daga, who freelanced for the Associated Press and other outlets. Mohammed Salama, who worked for Qatar based broadcaster Al Jazeera. Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist who worked with several news organizations, including occasionally contributing Reuters and Ahmed Abu Aiz.
A
Just, just imagine if this was Hamas doing this. Imagine if Hamas was bombing hospitals inside Israel. Imagine if they just, and they were killing journalists on the regular. Imagine if Hamas is doing that. I, I, I mean, the world would invade and, and kill Hamas, but that's not, It's Israel doing it. I mean, this is just a, the, these people are almost worse than Nazis. Could you be worse than Nazis? I don't know. Did Nazis on purpose bomb hospitals and kill journalists on purpose? Maybe, I guess, I don't know. There's nothing worse than what Israel's doing.
D
Right now and that President Trump continues to call them our ally.
A
I know, I know.
D
I can't even believe that. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office. Great. Said Israel deeply regretted what he called a tragic mishap. Israel valued the work of the journalists and medical staff, he said, adding that Israel's war was with Hamas. Israel's military, the Israel Defense Forces, acknowledged striking the area of Nassar hospital and said the Chief of the General of Staff had ordered an inquiry.
A
Oh, an inquiry.
D
What a relief.
A
Oh, they're going to investigate themselves. So the people bombing hospitals and killing journalists, they're going to do an inquiry on them, on themselves. It's fantastic, isn't it, boy?
D
It's just a mishap. Netanyahu goes on to say Israel deeply regrets the tragic mishap that occurred today at the Nasser hospital in Gaza.
A
It was an oopsie. It was an oopsie. You guys. Whoopsie daisy. Sorry. It was a mishap. We. We meant to bomb the hospital and then we. When we bombed it again, but it was a mishap. What. What kind of a mishap? When you bomb a hospital twice, that's not a mishap. Okay, keep going.
D
Israel values the work of journalists, medical staff and civilians. The military authorities are conducting a thorough investigation.
A
Oh, fantastic.
D
What a relief our war is with Hamas terrorists. Our just goals are defeating Hamas and bringing our hostages home.
A
Okay, so we all know that's not true. We all know that Benjamin Netanyahu, the last thing he wants is those hostages released, because if they did, then he wouldn't have a pretext to keep bombing hospitals and slaughtering and committing a genocide, which is what it is. And now there's. They're slaughtering Reuters journalists, AP journalists. I wonder when the news media is actually going to turn on this war or this genocide. I wonder when that's going to happen. Because you read the New York Times, you listen to cnn, they never call it a genocide, but. Okay, keep going.
D
The IDF regrets any harm to uninvolved individuals and does not target journalists as 100%.
A
100% target journalists.
D
The IDF acts to mitigate harm to uninvolved individuals as much as possible while maintaining the safety of IDF troops. It said.
A
You just did a double tap on how the f. You could say that you try to mitigate harm for uninvolved individuals when you're bombing a hospital. That is just. Ok, go ahead.
D
A Reuters spokesperson said in a statement. We are devastated to learn that cameraman Hussam Al Masri, a contractor for Reuters, was killed this morning in Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis in Gaza. Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance journalist whose work had been occasionally published by Reuters, was also killed. US President Trump expressed his displeasure when asked for a reaction. When did this happen? He asked.
A
I don't know. It's only been happening for the last two years. Every day. It's been happening every day for. When did this happen? Oh, really? Okay.
D
He asked. A report in the White House. I didn't know that. Well, I'm not happy about it. I don't want to see it. At the same time, we have to end that whole nightmare.
A
Okay, whatever that means.
D
The. Yeah, you can end it. End it.
A
You can end it right now. You could stop funding Israel.
D
Yeah, the entire world should stop funding Israel. The Palestinian Journalist Syndicate condemned Israel for the strike, saying it represented an open war against free media with the aim of terrorizing journalists and preventing them from fulfilling their professional duty of exposing its crimes to the world. The syndicate said more than 240 Palestinian journalists had been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza since the war started on October 7, 2023. Let me say that again. 240 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza since October 7, 2023. The world should be outraged. Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin said in a statement late on Monday that the military, in line with international law, was obligated to investigate. As always, we will present our findings as transparently as possible, he said. Israel has barred all foreign journalists from entering the Gaza Strip since the start of the war in 2023. Reporting from the territory throughout the war has been done by Palestinian journalists, many of whom have worked for the many years for international media organizations including wire services such as Reuters and the Associated Press. Jimmy Dore says, Whoops, we murdered a bunch of innocent people. Again.
A
Sorry.
D
Aaron Matei the world's most evil army breaking a video documents a horrific Israeli crime targeting ambulance and to civil defense crews as they were rescuing victims and the wounded after Israel bomb Nasser medical complex in Khan Yunis. Among them was journalist Hossam Al Masri. Jeremy Corbyn Jeremy Corbyn Israel bombed a hospital. Rescue workers and reporters rushed to recover the dead and the wounded. Israel bombed the hospital again live on tv. Read that again. Our government's legacy will be its complicity in crimes against humanity. End all arms sales to Israel now. Abu Bakr Abed hey guys, I have double tap struck a hospital and killed 10 people. And I apologize for that after investigating myself and finding out I mistakenly did it.
A
Yeah, they mistakenly did it. Okay, go to the next slide.
D
This is propaganda, not journalism. Netanyahu says Israel regrets mishap at Gaza hospital Netanyahu says Israel regrets tragic mishap after Gaza reporters killed Benjamin Netanyahu reacts to Israeli strike on the hospital tragic mishap Benjamin Netanyahu says Israeli strike on Nasser hospital a tragic mishap Today Israel killed one of the journalists who wrote this story. Lord have mercy on these kids. I can't believe people to invoke God to justify supporting this malnourished kids.
A
So the guy who did that story about the malnourished kids, Israel targeted them and killed them because that's what they do. They're trying to kill the journalists on purpose because they don't want anybody report left to report on their crimes or which is why they won't let in international journalists.
D
Go ahead, Malnourished kids arrive daily at Gaza hospital as Netanyahu denies hunger. Richard Medhurst, Another voice gone. Fuck every Western journalist and outlet that runs cover for the sustained slaughter of press and media. You are unfit to call these people your colleagues.
A
Harper Next slide.
D
Breaking the physician Dr. Mohammed Al Habibi was killed by the Israeli army in the massacre at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Yunis, southern Gaza. Max Blumenthal says Israel is deliberately slaughtering the most courageous journalists alive for exposing the genocide to the world. It's past time for all pro Israel media professionals to be stigmatized, publicly shamed and confronted everywhere. They are, they are traitors to their profession.
A
Yep. Next slide.
D
Here's Netanyahu's top media propagandist justifying Israelis deliberate murder today of Mohammed Salama for taking a video of a major international news event. Israel's Hezbollah elite is not ashamed to flaunt their army's demonic slaughter of journalists.
A
In fact, they're proud. So there is. Six months ago, Al Jazeera photographer Muhammad Salama enthusiastically documented the morbid ceremony in which the bodies of the Bibis family and Oded Lipschitz were returned to Israel. This morning, he was eliminated in the IDF attack on Khan Yunis hospital. Wow. Go ahead.
D
Glenn Greenwald. Israel always feigns regret whenever powerful Western institutions are implicated in their indiscriminate slaughter. Like when they had to fake remorse over the murder of the world's central kitchen aid workers. But this is what Israel does daily in Gaza. And they regret nothing.
A
Nothing. They regret nothing.
D
Caitlin Johnstone it's anti Semitic blood libel to say Israel would bomb a hospital. Unless there's proof Israel did bomb the hospital, in which case the hospital was Hamas. Unless nobody's believing that the hospital was Hamas, in which case it was a tragic accident and Israel is looking into it.
A
Yeah. So even after they're killing their own journalists, they still, the Western media still does apologia for Israel. I mean, this is just the craziest. This is like, you know, if Reuters and, and, and the Western media was covering Auschwitz, they would just, they would say, oh, some more people died from famine. But they wouldn't say they were starved to death and killed. They would say, oh, they, you know, if they gassed them, they would say, oh, they had a lung condition. I mean, this is really, this is beyond, and I, I, Israel does not have a right to exist. Israel shouldn't exist. Israel is the satanic state in the world right now by far. They're bombing again. The, the people in Yemen, I'm sure They're probably bombing Syria again, and I'm sure they're ramping up to bomb Iran again. Israel is a satanic state, and that is not an overstatement. And the fact that they, and none of those Zionists are even religious, they hide behind religion and they, and they do it in the name of God and it's the most. And, but, you know, there it is, there's Trump. It just could not happen without Trump. And MAGA is not putting enough pressure on Trump to stop this. I'll tell you that. Not, not at all. Not even close.
D
Jimmy, do you think people really buy these apologies, these headlines that they say it's a tragic mishap? Do you think people are like, they're people like, oh, that was just a mistake.

I think Jake Tapper does, I mean, you know, doesn't. It doesn't matter if people buy it. No, I don't think anybody buys it. No, this, this isn't stopping. This isn't stopping because people like Donald Trump and the, that, it's not just Trump, it's our whole government, they're not, they're, they're, they're not going to stop doing this. And that's why we can't see the Epstein files, because our entire system is being run by a bunch of black, black male pedals. That's, that's the system we live in. Woo. America, home of the free, land of the brave. There we are, slaughtering the most vulnerable people in the world in a hospital. In a hospital. Wow. We all remember. The beauty of the Trump administration is he's bringing in an era of free speech. Do you remember this play?
E
In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again. On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and fragments.
A
So look at that. He's bringing in free speech, the free exchange of ideas. It's fantastic. Oh, wait a minute. Let's see what he said today. Go to the first clip. This is an executive order on flag burning. It charges your Attorney General.
E
Would you listen to this? This is very important. Flag burning all over the country. They're burning flags all over the world. They burn the American flag. And as you know, through a very sad court, I guess it was a 5 to 4 decision, they called it freedom of speech, but there's another reason which is perhaps much more important. It's called death. Because what happens when you burn a flag is the area goes crazy. If you have hundreds of people, they go crazy. You could do other things. You can burn this piece of paper. You can, and it's. But when you burn the American flag, it incites riots at levels that we've never seen before. People go crazy in a way, both ways. There are some that are going crazy for doing it. There are others that are angry, angry about them doing it.
A
People go crazy, really, when they see a flag on fire. You mean like Frankenstein from the 1930s movie Fire Bad? What is he talking about? Burning the American flag hasn't been a thing for, like, decades anyway. I don't see people across the country burning the American flag. That really hasn't been a thing for decades. That was just. This seems like another distraction from, you know, social media criticism he's getting or maybe another distraction from the Epstein files. But whatever it is, you know, just as blackrock is getting ready to raise everybody's utility rates this winter, you can't even burn the flag to stay warm. That's the. That's the problem there. So he couldn't leave it. It couldn't just make it illegal to burn the Israeli flag, which they just did, but couldn't forget about the American flag. This is just gotcha control. That's all that is. So, yeah, so now he's like, well, shit, we. We made it illegal to burn the Israeli flag. Oh, we got to do America, too. So that seems like what this is. This is the opposite again, of. The opposite of free speech. Because speech. Well, let's go to. Because burning the flag is speech. It's. You're. You're not upset that he's burning a piece of cloth. You're upset at the idea behind burning the flag. It's not the flag, it's the idea they're expressing. And so, just as Trump said in the first clip, that we're not going to stifle the free expression of American citizens. That's exactly what he's doing. So let's go ahead and read this. So it says the order the Republican president signed in the Oval Office acknowledged the court because the court, the Supreme Court had already ruled this in 1989. The Supreme Court already ruled on this in 1989 and said burning the speech, the American flag is speech, and it's protected by the First Amendment. And how ironic, again, Donald Trump saying one thing and doing the exact opposite. Hey, I'm. I'M going to get rid of all these protected classes of people, you know, like gays and lesbians and hate speech. We're getting rid of all that. Oh, except we're ringing in a new one. You can't. It's hate speech against Jews and Zionists and they're a protect, they need our protection. And so that was all garbage, right? He just came in, he got rid of the woke left, he brought in the woke like, right. And now here he is saying that free speech is here. And again, free speech is not here. And so let's read this. The order the Republican president signed in the Oval Office acknowledged the Supreme Court's 5 to 4 ruling in a case from Texas from 1989. But he said there is still room to prosecute flag burning if it is likely to incite imminent lawless action or amounts to fighting words. So in that case in 1989, the justice is ruled 5 to 4 that the First Amendment protects flag burning as legitimate as, as, as legitimate political expression. Though even Justice Anton Antonin Scalia, the most right wing conservative guy in the world, Antonin Scalia, the conservative icon who Trump has repeatedly praised, he was in the majority the 5 to 4 decision that said burning the flag is protected speech. Even that guy was on board. So now Trump is to the right of Antonin Scalia. Think about that. So Trump said Monday that burning the US Flag incites riots and level at levels we've never seen before. What are you talking, what are you talking about with some people going crazy over burning it? He didn't offer any examples. There's no examples. He didn't. He just said it. So the text of the executive order states that desecrating the American flag is uniquely offensive and provocative. So that's the old thing of I'm for free speech until you say something I don't like.
D
Right.
A
So that's what that is. I'm all for free speech, but until you say something that's offensive. Yeah. Guess what? Offensive speech is protected by the First Amendment. That's why we have the First Amendment. For speech you don't like, you don't need protection for speech you like. You need protection for speech that people find offensive.
D
But what about all those crazy people, Jimmy? What, they just go crazy after they see a flag burning? What about them?
A
Yeah. You mean the ones that he gave no examples of?
D
I haven't seen any examples. I haven't seen a flag burning for a while since like, what was it in June that we started to see flag burning? It hasn't happened any longer.
A
By the time somebody is actually burning the American flag, it's in response to violence that the US has already been putting on everybody else. I think America has reached the point where it's not even ironic symbolism to burn the American flag anymore. So let's. In a statement. It is a statement of contempt, hostility, and violence against our nation. Trump says, the clearest possible expression of opposition to the political union that preserves our rights, liberty, and security. Burning this representation of America may incite violence and riot. Okay, well, let's wait till it does, because I don't. I can't point to one instance where burning the flag incited violence or a riot hasn't happened. The order also calls that attorney general to prioritize enforcement to the fullest extent possible of criminal and civil laws against flag burning that cause harm unrelated to the first amendment. Okay, well, you know, here's the. The irony is that I remember when this was in the court in 1989, I remembered I was starting comedy, and people used to say, you know, you should. You should shed a tear of joy when you see someone burning the flag, because that's how free we are, because we have freedom other countries don't have. We get. That's. You are. That is political speech. That is free speech. You are. You are expressing an idea that other people find offensive. And guess what? That's protected under the Supreme Court, under the Constitution. And that's not me saying that. That's Antonin Scalia saying that. The former Supreme Court justice. So Trump said the court that ruled that the flag burning is constitutionally protected was a very sad court. He said, and by the way, Mr. President, burning flags don't start riots. You know what does start riots? Feds. Feds start riots. Federal agent provocateurs start riots. And you know, I know that because I've seen it on video. That's how I know it. And he said. I like how he says. It was a very sad chord. I like happy courts. Hey, I'm gonna give you the electric chair. Wow. Thanks, your honor. Best seat in the house. That's the spirit. Why can't every death row perp be positive like you? Actually, the perp is going to get both positive and negative, if you know what I'm talking about. If you know anything about it. He's. Trump said. Trump said. I guess it was a 5 to 4 decision. They called it freedom of speech. The president said, but there's. There's another important. There's another reason which is perhaps much more important. It's called debt.
D
Oh.
A
Because what it. So if you have hundreds of people, they go crazy again. He doesn't have any examples of people going crazy of this ever inciting a riot ever. Let's go to the next slide. Oh, that's it. Yep, that's it. Okay, so play this again. Go ahead, play that again.
E
In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again. On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship. No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas. And Frank.
A
So to me, that's like Trump is just kind of telling a joke there. He's like doing some improv. He's not lying, he's doing improv. He's winging it off the cuff. Okay, give me a premise. Give him a premise, give him a punchline. He'll take care of the rest. Hey, but if you want to see someone inside a riot, you should come see me do stand up comedy in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Chicago, Appleton, Wisconsin, Fort Wayne, Indiana and Louisville. Go to Jimmy Doordak. Oh, but also going to be guess who else we're going to be? Hermosa beach and where's the other one?
D
Sacramento, San Francisco and San francisco.

Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. So again, this is another big letdown by Donald Trump going against exactly what he claims to be for. If you're for the First Amendment, if you're for the Constitution, if you're on the side of Antonin Scalia, you understand that burning the flag is an expression of political speech. Because if you're not upset that they're burning clothes, you're upset at what the intent is of that person. He said it's offensive. He's saying he's like undermining his own case. It's offensive. Yeah, it's supposed to be offensive. That's why people are doing it. They want to offend people. And offensive speech is protected. So I guess I'm never going to get anybody on the Trump administration on my show. I saw Tulsi Gabbard went on Megan Frickin Kelly show today, so. Yes, but they won't come on our show anymore. Isn't that something?
D
That's good. They don't want to come on our show. They don't want to come on our show. They want to go on everybody else's show. That's complicit with what they're doing throughout the world.
A
Exactly. Right there. They don't mind being challenged by CNN or MSNBC or Fox News because they're only going to challenge them in a corporate way. They're afraid of actual challenges from shows like mine. And so, you know, they all used to come on my show. Jay Bhattacharya came on my show, RFK came on my show to be a regular on our show. Now none of them, they won't touch us with a ten foot pole. And I take that as a badge of honor actually, because Trump is effing up right now and in big ways left and right. And it's not hard to point it out. And I'm sure there's lots of MAGA who understand this and they understand that what, first it was illegal to burn the Israeli flag. Now it's, and you, it's just, it's an unbelievable kind of 180 Trump is doing on free speech. It's like, yeah, it's up for free speech. We like, just like the Democrats, just like the liberals, just like the woke left. They're for, they're for speech. They like, just like Trump. Isn't it funny? No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain. So this is a story that's near and dear to my heart because I've been on the forefront of calling out the COVID scam, which is exactly what it was. Covid was never deadly for people under 59 years old. It had a 0.003% infection fatality rate it as even Bill Gates after he cashed in his Pfizer stock said that it wasn't deadly. It was like the flu and it affected most of the elderly. But still today in 2025, they are fining restaurants that didn't go along with the scamdemic. And it's what it was, a scam. Debic. And so let's go to this story. The court upholds nearly a $1 million fine against a restaurant that ignored the pandemic indoor dining ban. And they should have because you know who was ignoring the indoor dining ban at the same time? I don't know. How about Governor Gavin Newsom? He's, he's, he's got the whole world. He's got his cops out arresting people for surfing at the beach while he's indoors, no masks on, doing indoor dining at the French Laundry. Remember that picture? Everybody saw that. So now they're coming still in 2025, they're still coming after restaurants. Let's go to this story.
D
A Washington State restaurant that ignored a 2020 state COVID 19 pandemic order must pay a fine of $936,000 18,000 per day for each day it remained in operation while the state emergency order banning indoor dining was in place, an appeals court has ruled. The ban, imposed in late 2020 by Washington Governor Jay Inslee, went into effect following a jump in cases and hospitalizations. In response, the owner of Stuffy's two Restaurant Bud and Glenda Dueling ignored the order, resulting in financial punishment. The fine was levied by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, which the duelings say they cannot pay. Meanwhile, the Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals did not have their back, refusing to weigh in after saying they don't have the authority to deal with the constitutional matters. A Superior Court judge upheld the decision. Despite providing tax returns showing that it operated at a loss in 2020 and received a PP loan. The court ruled that the duelings have not provided evidence that their company cannot pay the fines.
A
Wow.
D
Dueling has not demonstrated that is unable to do so.
A
What this means is your government is are the criminals. So that judge is a criminal, that governor of Washington state is a criminal. The whole goddamn system, they're all criminals. And the people who are standing up for freedom and liberty are the people who are running that restaurant. All right, keep going.
D
Dueling has not demonstrated that it's unable to pay the fine or that the fine is excessive, judge Rebecca Glasgow wrote for a unanimous panel of the U.S. court of Appeals of the Washington judges that considered the case. There is nothing in the record about what savings or assets Dueling had, glasgow Glassow continued, adding, Dueling had ample opportunities to provide additional documentation, deposition, testimony to support a contestion that it was unable to pay the fine and it did not do so. In December 5, 2020 Facebook post, the dueling said that they had made the decision to resume indoor dining. It has come down to the point where we shut our doors after today and call it quits after 32 years of probably serving the community. Or we fight. We have made the decision over closing that we are fighting. If we go down, at least our employees will be able to have a better chance at having a better holiday season. This is not just about us as the owners struggling. This about Stuffy's family. A report from the Nation's this is from Grok oh, Grok says a report.
A
For the so the question is how many restaurants permanently closed during the pandemic?
D
Report from the National Restaurant Association Based on survey conducted from November 17th to the 30th, 2020, estimated 110,000 eating and drinking establishments, or about 17% of the industry, had either permanently or long term closed as of December 1, 2020. Data Essential, a food service research firm, reported in March 2021 that 79,438 restaurants, or 10.2% of the 778, 807 restaurants operating at the start of the pandemic had permanently closed.
A
And Donald Trump is not going to step in and try to help these people because he's still touting his operation warp speed and his vaccine that didn't stop transmission or contraction and didn't do anything they said it did. He's, he won't even admit that the COVID was a scam. So there's nobody to help these people. I hope they appeal to the Supreme Court. I hope that that could happen again. We're ruled by criminals. So that whole, that whole justice system in Washington state are criminals. And the people who, and they're prosecuting the people who aren't again. It's, you know, it's like when I had Cornel west on the show and I showed him 41% of black owned businesses permanently closed during COVID and he didn't say damn thing about those workers. He couldn't give a shit. And because it takes actual courage to do something like that, to go against his shit lib and his ivory tower employment, he wouldn't do anything that's going to risk that. And so here we are. Here we are. The criminals run everything because the people who are supposed to stand up during COVID and say something didn't have the balls to say anything. Didn't have integrity, didn't have the spine. And still to this day, nobody said, you think, you think Cornel west is going to come out and start screaming about the, how this injustice over Covid? No, he's not going to say anything. Nobody's going to say anything. Maybe Tim Robbins. I'm going to say something. Max Blumenthal say something. I'm going to guess probably nobody else. It's disgusting. And if you like to hear my Covid jokes, which will, you know, turn this round upside down, you, you come see me in Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, or in Chicago. You come see me in South Bend, Appleton, Wisconsin. Not South Bend, Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hamilton, Wisconsin. Formosa Beach, Sacramento, San Francisco. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. I mean, I'm not ever going to get over, I think about it every day about how this happened. And people still pretend like fascism is a thing that's going to be brought in by Donald Trump. We live people living through fascism for a long time. And there's nothing more Nazi like than. Than shutting down people's businesses over a scam. There's nothing more not Nazi like than demolishing people's living, smashing them, doing a controlled demolition of our economy for what? For profit for Big Pharma. That's what this was all about. This was always about profit for big Pharma. And then they censored people telling the truth about COVID And they still do. And I just can't believe all the people that I used to look up to, which I no longer do and I have disdain for as comedians, politicians, journalists, activists, people that don't give a shit about this. You would think, you know, 100,000 workers got fired in New York alone for not taking a mandated experimental medical treatment that didn't do what they said it did. And where are the people standing up for those workers? Where's Cornel west screaming, he never said a damn thing about it. Still isn't saying a damn thing about it. So all those people who were your heroes aren't. All the people who are my heroes are not. And it still comes down to people like Joe Rogan and me to say something about it.
