Establishment media sucks.
Scott Horton
August lighting.
Misty Winston
So good luck. We can't afford fomenting this. Watch and see as his jack off the medium speeds and jumps the media him and hit some head on.
Jimmy Dore
It's the chimney door show. I saw a meme saying that Netanyahu said he had to preemptively bomb Iran so he could avoid a war he just started. And so everybody, everybody sees what's going on. They're bombing hospitals, they're bombing refugee camps, they're targeting children. Snipers are shooting them in the head left and right. They're doing this. They're occupying terror. Everything they're doing is against international law. Everything Israel is doing is against international law. And then as soon as somebody hits back at them, they cry victim.
Misty Winston
Guys, did you know it's. It's not okay to bomb hospitals again?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Misty Winston
Who knew? We're back. We're back, everybody. So in case you're just joining us, this is the Jimmy Dore show. I'm your guest host Misty Winston. Jimmy is back from his trip so he is joining us. But we're going to talk now about how it's it's not okay to bomb hospitals anymore. It's funny how that just kind of flips whenever it's convenient, right? So here's from BBC Israeli Hospital Hit by Iranian missile Strike A hospital in the Israeli town of Beersheba has been hit as Iran fired a barrage of missiles at the country. With the conflict between the two nations continuing into a seventh day, Iran said it had targeted a military site close to the Soroka hospital. And I'm sorry if I'm butchering these. It's very possible not the facility itself. Israel said 271 people were injured in strikes reported across the country. Meanwhile, Israel's military said it had targeted Iran's nuclear sites, including the quote unquote inactive Iraq Iraq heavy water reactor and Nantes facility. Israel said at least 24 people had been killed in the country since the start of the conflict. Iranian state media last updated its last updated its death toll on 15 June when it said 224 people had been killed. The Human Rights Activist News Agency, a Washington based human rights organization that has long tracked Iran, said that 639 people have been killed in Iran since Friday. Israel's deputy foreign affairs minister said Iran's hit on the Soroka hospital on Thursday was quote, unquote deliberate and quote unquote criminal. H Interesting. In a post on X, Shereen Haskell said that the site was the main medical center for Israel's entire Nege region. Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel would, quote, exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran. This guy. Israel also threatened Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with Defense Minister Israel Kat saying that Khomeini can no longer be allowed to exist, which is an insane statement to make. Katz told reporters Khomeini openly declares that he wants Israel destroyed. He personally gives the order to fire on hospitals. So just to put things in perspective, Israel bombed 36 hospitals in Gaza. I think it's maybe more than that. Pretty much all of the hospitals in Gaza. I think all of the hospitals in Gaza have been heavily damaged or destroyed. Israel bombed 40 hospitals in Lebanon and just this week Israel bombed three hospitals in Iran. But they don't like it when theirs are bombed, apparently.
Jimmy Dore
Jimmy, that's so. Yeah, rules for thee but not for. Yeah, I guess. Is that the saying? Is that how it goes?
Misty Winston
Rules for Thee and not for me or something. I don't know. Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So again, you see that Zionism and the defense of Israel's actions is based on supreme double standards, hypocrisy and lies. And so I think this story, maybe more than any other, reveals the bankruptcy of the rationale for Israel bombing Gaza. The host, every hospital in Gaza. Did you say 40 hospitals in Lebanon?
Misty Winston
Yes. Let me pull that back up for you.
Jimmy Dore
And of course they've bombed hospitals in Iran. So yes, this, this is what's called a cry bully. These, these are the most disgusting types of people, the most disgusting the types of arguments and you know, they should be rejected out. And, and so, I mean, again, I, I guess there's a silver lining here because everyone sees what's going on. You, yes, you have to be some kind of a super mental defective to not be able to see exactly what's happening. And so it's like, you know, it's like, it's like the preemptive war. It's like I saw a meme saying that Netanyahu said he had to preemptively bomb Iran so he could avoid a war he just started. And so everybody, everybody sees what's going on. They're bombing hospitals, they're bombing refugee camps, they're targeting children, Snipers are shooting them in the head left and right. They're doing this, they're occupying terror. Everything they're doing is against international law. Everything Israel's doing is against international law. And then as soon as somebody hits back at them, they cry victim. It's, it's, it's very stomach churning, to say the least. It's stomach churning. And you know, again, it just, if, if, if there was a, a way you could wreck their credibility, I can't think of a better way than to do what they're doing right now.
Misty Winston
And that's what I kind of love about this. And it's not just this, the hospital situation or whatever. It's been over the course of this ever since October 7th. I mean, the way that they lied repeatedly about 40 beheaded babies and all of the, the human shields and when in fact we've now, it's now been revealed that they use human shields and they are, they're, I don't know that there's anybody, anybody more gifted at accusing others of that which they are guilty of than Zionists, because that is what they've been doing this whole time. And I think what you just said, it's so important. People are now, because, because of social media, we are able to be shown that in real time. And I think that that has done such an amazing amount of opening of eyes that frankly, I think that there is no going back now. I think that I don't know if it'll be enough to save the people of Palestine. Obviously, so many are already dead. I don't know if it'll be enough to save Gaza, but I just don't think that there's any way that the Zionist project is going to be able to recover from this. They've been exposed so many times. We have a couple more tweets here. Europe is about to condemn Iran for bombing a military base next to a hospital. But when Israel did it, they were all for it. And the German FM said, we will not be ashamed to target civilians and hospitals as long as it ensures Israel's security. That's a wild statement.
Jimmy Dore
Wow. Wow. That is a wild statement.
Misty Winston
That's a wild statement.
Jimmy Dore
Max Blumenthal tweeted out. I don't know if you have this in the chamber.
Misty Winston
I don't think so.
Jimmy Dore
Israel. Israel's Channel 13 announced that, quote, the war cabinet, Israeli's war cabinet will have a meeting tonight. And, and it will take place in the new IDF fortified headquarters. And where is the IDF fortified headquarters?
Misty Winston
Of course it is.
Jimmy Dore
That is safe from Iranian missiles after Defense Ministry was struck last night, which is no longer safe. The Itchlav Hospital is a military base. And so Max Blumenthal retweeted it saying Israel's terror chiefs have been hiding in a tunnel built beneath a hospital. That's the exact thing that Israel had been screaming that Hamas had done, which is why they flattened and bombed and killed every hospital inside Gaza. And of course, every accusation. Accusation they make is a confession. That's of course, that's what Israel's doing. And it's all, again, it's horrible. But there's still, there's silver lining is that they're so bad at this now that people, they've just been so used to getting away with just complete lies. Like that video we showed of Benjamin Netanyahu saying Iran's two weeks away from getting a nuclear bomb. He's been saying that since 1996. And so it's just, they just been so used to be able to lie with impunity that, you know, because not enough people were paying attention, but now people are paying attention because this is a genocide that's been live streamed in real time and we're on the brink of a world war. Right? And a lot of people say it's already started. And so now all eyes are on the Israeli lies and they're being exposed for just the most disgusting double standard. Cry, bully, liars, wars of aggression, a murderous regime that there possibly could be.
Misty Winston
Yes.
Jimmy Dore
And so that's the one silver lining, is that not only people in the United States, but people all over the world now, they have no sympathy for Israel. Israel used to have the world sympathy. It's gone and they've wrecked it. And so, and the big reason, one of the big reasons why Netanyahu is doing all this is because if he wasn't at war like this, he'd be going to prison. Because that's one thing, is one thing Israeli's government does is they put their corrupt leaders in prison and he's corrupt and they know it. And he would be in prison if there wasn't wars happening right now. And so that's another thing people are seeing.
Misty Winston
Yeah. And I think that that's caused a lot of people to ask a lot of questions surrounding October 7th and the whole situation. And I think that that's. Those are justifiable questions everybody should be willing to ask. Here's another one. When Israel bombed the first hospital in Gaza, the world wouldn't believe it. And Israel blamed a misfired rocket from Hamas. And that's what they've. Every time they, and they, in the past, they've been pretty good at this. Anytime something would happen, they, they used to be very good at managing the narrative. But again, I think that with social media and with people being able to report on this stuff in real time and debunk it within an hour of the, the lies coming out, I think that that's really changed the game. And frankly, they've just really overplayed their hand 100%. And they have overestimated. Yes, they've overestimated their ability to control the narrative this time around. So here's Jonathan Cook. Shocking. An Israeli hospital has been hit. But hang on a minute. Were Israeli soldiers being treated there or police officers or government officials? That should be fine. Then wasn't it Israel that created the precedent? Hospitals are legitimate targets for attack. And that's a great point. Israel created that precedent that if there is one person that they claim to be Hamas in a building, then it's okay to take out that entire building, regardless of any kind of collateral data damage or civilian casualties that might occur from that. So they've created that precedent. Not saying, I want hospitals to be bombed, that's terrible. But you know, the fact that Israel is trying to now pretend as if they're some kind of victim on this is just astonishing.
Jimmy Dore
So there have been such a murderous genocidal regime especially, especially way before October 7th, but especially since October 7th. And the world has seen what's actually happening. And all the lies that they have to tell to, to maintain Zionism and their. The Greater Israel project is, is that it's all over for them now. I, I really don't think there's any recovery. So they've gotten, it's got, they're so bad, their cry bullying is so stomach churning that they've turned people who are 100% anti war no matter what to actually cheer on the bombing of Tel Aviv.
Misty Winston
That's.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, that's how bad. People who are against war, no matter what, are saying that they're now publicly admitting that they feel they're cheering on the bombing of Tel Aviv. That's happening. I've seen it happen on social media. That's how bad it's gotten.
Misty Winston
Yeah. And I don't know if I'm necessarily cheering, but it does feel a little bit like watching a bully finally get popped in the nose. You know what I mean? Like, that's what it feels like. I don't, I don't necessarily feel good about. I don't. I mean civilian casualties suck, period, regardless. But watching Israel finally get a dose of its own medicine, I mean, it's a little bit like vindication, you know what I mean? Like, that sounds like a terrible thing and I hate to say it, like say it out loud, but I'm just being honest. That's a little bit how I felt. Like what you just described, I felt a little bit of that, like.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, so.
Misty Winston
You know what I mean?
Jimmy Dore
Yeah. So it's. So let's, let's go ahead, show what Caitlin Johnstone has to say.
Misty Winston
Yeah. So this is Caitlyn's tweet where we basically already covered this, where Israel cat said that the Supreme Leader can no longer exist. Here's another one where. Did you know Israel has bombed no less than three hospitals in Iran this week? We've already covered that. Direct hits, not blowback like today. Because the attack in Iran was not a direct attack on a hospital. There was a, Or I'm sorry, in Israel was not an attack on a, a direct attack on a hospital is the building beside of it. Because they like to hide their military bases, you know, behind human shields.
Jimmy Dore
Yes.
Misty Winston
Yeah. So Soroka is Israel's main hospital to evacuate IDF troops. It proudly displays this military helicopter poster with the Caption, Israel's medical Iron Dome by Israel's own rule, own rules of engagement in Gaza bombing a hospital to kill a wounded journalist, something they did. Soroka is a legitimate target. Insane, isn't it? Then why did you stay silent when Israel bombed every single hospital in Gaza? And that's the point, is exposing that level of hypocrisy. The BBC has an entire live blog this morning dedicated to verifying coverage of the Israeli hospital damaged in an Iranian state. Israel systematically destroyed Gaza's health care system. 94% of hospitals damaged or destroyed. Sorry, but where were their live blogs? And that's what's interesting, is that the media suddenly has discovered how to cover this. Again, here's Caitlyn again. Israel bombed an Iranian hospital just the other day. But if you do a search for it on Google right now, you'll only get news reports about Iran bombing an Israeli hospital. It's always interesting to see how the propaganda plays out. You can take a look here at the. This is always fun to do if you go and look at the way Israelis are killed, Palestinians die. Yes, it's very different how they cover those two situations. So it's always fun to that disparity. And then this is just an article from Caitlin Johnstone, who I adore. She does some of the best writing and it's called Bombing Hospitals is Bad Again, Israel is its. Israel and its Western allies are crying and rendering their garments about an Israeli hospital that was damaged in an Iranian missile strike. Western media outlets like the BBC and New York Times have suddenly remembered how to write headlines which assign blame to the attacker after deciding the hospitals getting bombed is a newsworthy event. Again, the Iranian attack didn't even kill anybody. And the damage to the hospitals reportedly reported, reportedly the result of a shock wave from a strike on a nearby Israeli military facility. That's right, the Israeli military was using the hospital for human shields. As always, every accusation is a confession. Israel, as we all know, bombs hospitals constantly. Israel bombed an Iranian hospital just the other day to almost no coverage from the Western press. Israel has attacked healthcare workers and healthcare facilities in Gaza around 700 times, according to the World Health Organization. And the IDF has repeatedly been documented entering the hospitals at attacks to destroy individual pieces of medical equipment. Israel, unlike Iran, is deliberately targeting healthcare facilities to make Gaza unlivable. Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz is now saying that because of the hospital strike, Iranian Ayatollah Ali Khamenei cannot continue to exist. Knowing what we know about Israel's track record, saying that people who bomb Hospitals should not be allowed to exist can only be interpreted as an extremely anti Semitic statement. I love her snark. She includes a tweet here about the BBC headlines and then she just continues that the only way that the US Wins a war with Iran easily, quickly and without massive losses is if it uses a nuclear weapon. This fact, combined with that Huckabee boast post comparing Trump to Truman in 1945 and Trump's evacuate to Iran and unconditional surrender statements makes me nervous. And the Americans are reportedly discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran already. And then she continues, it's just, basically just continuing to point out the hypocrisy. But yeah, I mean, that is interesting though that suddenly the mainstream press in the west has rediscovered their ability to report on these things for two years now.
Jimmy Dore
You know, someone, someone say, you know, if, if the, if the Jews cover the me control the media, how come they're so anti Israel? I actually saw someone tweet that out as if they're not, as if they're not 100% pro Israel in the media in the United States, which they are. Just like this story reveals a hundredfold that they, they don't know how to report on hospitals when they're bombed by Israel, but they figure out how to do it when anybody else bombs it. And when someone else, when Israel kills somebody, those people die. But when someone kills an Israeli, they were killed. So yeah, so, you know, but you have to understand the media in the United States, those people are pre selected, right? To be, to be the, you know, the, the Chris Cuomos, the morons, the Fredos of the country and end up in the media. That's how that happens. You know, it's not, you don't get to be on TV or work in the U. S Media if you don't, if you say, yeah, I want to tell the truth about Zionism and Israel, you're, you're already pre screened. You'll never get to do a job interview at a corporate news outlet. That's over. Right. So that's how that works. But again, the silver lining is that everyone sees the disgusting animals that you have to be to prop up Zionism at this point and the State of Israel 100%.
Misty Winston
But it is, it is encouraging that people are starting to wake up to it.

This is going to be an interesting one. So Trump calls for special Prosecutor to investigate 2020 election quote Biden was grossly incompetent in the 2020 election was a total fraud. He added, I think we can all agree that Biden is grossly incompetent. And this is from just the news, if anybody wants to go check this out. President Donald Trump on Friday called for a special prosecutor to investigate election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. And then this is here from Donald Trump. Zero border crossings for the month. For the month for Trump versus 60,000 for sleepy crooked Joe Biden, a man who lost the 2020 presidential election by a landslide. Biden was grossly incompetent in the 2020 election was a total fraud. The evidence is massive and overwhelming. A special prosecutor must be appointed. This cannot be allowed to happen again in the United States of America. Let the work begin. What this crooked man and his corrupt cronies have done to our country in four years is grossly indescribable. Make America great again. His tweets are difficult to read, the way that he types them out. Trump's call for a special prosecutor comes in the wake of reports from the FBI that China had conspired to mass produce fake driver's licenses to carry out a massive fake ballot scheme in the 2020 election. Officials told Just the News that U.S. customs and Border Protection had captured nearly 20,000 fake driver's license in July of 2020. Those revelations have called into question the assertions from former FBI Director Christopher Ray that he knew of no interference plots ahead of the election. They have further reignited Trump's own claims of large scale election fraud in 2020 that he has said affected the results. So what do you think about this, Jimmy Door? We're gonna get a special prosecutor.
Jimmy Dore
I. I didn't. So if that, if that was reported in July of 2020, how come that didn't. How come nobody knows about it? How come we're just. How come we're just finding out about it now? And I remember. So one thing I've learned from doing my show is that when you're not allowed to Question something. There is some dark happening. Okay. And so 911 you're not allowed to question. We now know it was a lie at least about Building seven and you can't and you can't trust your line. So, so you that was. There's a lot going on in 911 that will never be told about or that were lied to about. You weren't allowed to question Seth Rich. Now we know that the FBI doesn't want to release his laptop for 65 years. So again, so you got that and that you weren't allowed to question this election. You weren't allowed to question the vaccine and you weren't allowed to question the COVID narrative. So and we found out through Covid that you were lied about everything. They lied about lockdowns, they lied about the virus, where it came from. They lied about funding the invention of it. They lied about herd immunity, natural immunity. They lied about testing for side effects. They like. They lied about. There wasn't a thing they didn't lie about when it came to Covid, but you weren't allowed to question it. Same thing with the, with this the 2020 election. They kicked, I remember when they kicked the hill that showed the rising. They kicked them off the air for YouTube did for a week because they just. They played a. A video of Donald Trump. I believe what they during fraction was they played a video of Donald Trump questioning the outcome of the 2020 election. You weren't allowed to question. That's the first time in my lifetime. You weren't allowed to question election. The Democrats questioned every election in my lifetime, including 2016. They screamed about it for four straight years at the top of their lungs, saying it was stolen by Russia. Hillary Clinton said that. Joe Biden said that. Jimmy Carter said it. Every and every news person said it at the top of their lungs. You weren't. But, but then you weren't allowed to question 2020's election. So that's when I knew there was something to do. So there's something there that. So if you go by my metrics, you know there's something there. I don't know what is there. Maybe it is this China thing. We now know that Joe Biden was lying. Him and Hunter were taking millions of dollars from China. So anyway, I bet there's something there and I hope they find out what it was.
Misty Winston
Yeah, I mean, listen, I think all of our elections are garbage. I mean the Jimmy Carter center has said numerous times that we ranked dead last amongst western democracies for election integrity. I think our Elections are a joke. They always are a joke. To what extent? And to, like, who's involved and how corrupt is it? And what, like, all of that stuff, I think, is up for debate. But I think that there's no question our elections are garbage. And I honestly think that January 6th was very much intended to set a precedent that you cannot question or protest an election. They wanted to scare people. They don't want you to get into the streets after an election ever again. And I think that that's what the whole thing was really set up for, was so that people would now be afraid, moving forward to ever, ever, ever get in the streets on that level or to question on that level, an election ever again. And I think that that's.
Jimmy Dore
And the secondary purpose, or maybe the primary one. But you're. I agree with what you're saying. Their one other purpose was that they tried to make what they did to Bolsonaro. So in Brazil, if you don't know the same thing, they tried to pin the insurance, the quote, unquote, insurrection on Donald Trump, which would then make him ineligible to be able to be on a ballot. But they couldn't. They couldn't do that because he didn't do that. He didn't incite. And. But they did it to Bolsonaro in Brazil. It was the exact same playbook. And they charged him with trying to overthrow the government and inciting that, and so now he can't run for president. They tried to do that to Donald Trump, but it didn't work because Donald Trump didn't play along. And so those are the. Those are the two purposes of January 6th. Yeah. So it. And this again. And that's the. You know, I just go back to my interview I did with Cornell west, who was a hero of mine, and when he came out and he kept calling Donald Trump a fascist, but he wouldn't call Joe Biden a fascist, and he kept pretending. He kept pretending that if Donald Trump got elected that fascism would then come to America, as if he wasn't living under it. Again, he was completely out of touch. There's nothing more fascist than the government mandating you take an experimental medical treatment. That is Nazi stuff right there. And they did it. And apparently he didn't care about that. And January 6th and all the lawfare that they did to try to criminalize the exact thing they were accusing Donald Trump of doing, using. He was going to sic the Justice Department on his political enemies. They were currently doing that. And it was obvious to everybody. And if you can't stand up for Donald Trump when he's being prosecuted, politically motivated prosecutions against him, which is exactly what those were, then nobody's going to stand up for Cornel West, Nobody's going to stand up for Jill Stein, nobody. You have to stand up for the people you don't like. It's on principle. Just like free speech. You have to stand up for the speech you don't like on principle or else there's going to be nobody around to stand up for you. And that was a big letdown to me when I had Cornel west on the show because he was not only out of touch 100% with COVID 40% of Black owned businesses shut down during COVID didn't care. I never heard a peep about him screaming about that or about the workers or about their rights or about any of that stuff. And he didn't scare scream about the Justice Department going after a political enemy of the administration and which is exactly what they would do to him if he ever became a threat. And so the fact that a dumb jagoff like me has to explain that to a Harvard professor was demoralizing almost to me. It really crushed me. But anyway, here we are. And yeah, so let's see what happened. I cannot wait to see what happened with the 2020 election. I know there was something happening because you weren't allowed to question it.
Misty Winston
Yeah, I'm not sure we'll ever find out though, to be honest with you. And this, the timing of this is also a little weird to me because we know that Trump is under a lot of fire in particular from his base over the whole Israel, Iran thing. So is he doing this now just to kind of flick some crumbs, like give them a little bit of catnip over here so that they lay off of him over here? That's also possible. I'm not sure we'll ever. I mean, as you said earlier, we're never going to know about 9 11. We're never going to know the real truth about COVID We're never going to know the real truth about really anything. I mean, it is, it's, this is the kind of stuff that they do all the time. It's really just they want us chasing our tails and they want us kind of distracted away from anything that's important. So I'm not sure we'll ever get any answers. But I mean, listen, I would love to actually get a special prosecutor, a real one, like a non biased, objective perspective. We're. But I don't Think we're ever going to get that? Unfortunately, but we'll see. I mean, it's, it's just been announced, so there's really no way for us to judge how that's going to go until we get through it. So I am a little suspicious, though.
Jimmy Dore
You know, Russell Dobbler used to make the point that if Donald Trump is elected president, he has to rethink everything he thinks about the CIA. And I. Point taken, you know, because now after he's been elected, it may. I don't think we actually do have to rethink it because it seems like he was, he was, he's not working against the deep state. He's working with them when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein and the lies that the FBI is now telling, the same lies that Joe Biden told. Oh, there's nothing, nothing to see here. He killed himself. All that stuff right after years and years of the same people screaming. And then. So now that looks like Donald Trump is trying to figure he, he's bombing Yemen after he criticized bombing Yemen five minutes before he became president. Right. So. And then he's looks like he's gonna back up Israel with he. Look, this two weeks thing is very, it's very suspect. It looks like. Is he giving them enough time to do a false flag in America? Is that what this is all about? So it looks like he got on board with the deep state. It doesn't look like Donald Trump is actually fighting the deep state. And so, yeah, maybe you're right. I think, you know, when you mention it, this is probably just a distraction.
Misty Winston
Yeah, I think that's very likely. And unfortunately, really, if we're just being honest with ourselves, nobody who's actually going to fight the deep state will ever be allowed to become president. Not once, certainly not twice.
Jimmy Dore
Well, he closed that investigation into the Butler assassination attempt is super suspect. That.
Scott Horton
Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
So again, that's like, oh, so he's not working against the deep state, he's working with them. So that it makes me feel like, well, what, what, what is the real story about Butler? There's more to it than meets the eye. If Donald Trump doesn't want to know about. If you really want me to think that this was a Lee Harvey Oswald situation, I just, that's just not the case. So, yeah, so it's all very suspect. And Donald Trump seems to be working with the deep state and not against them. That's all.
Misty Winston
It's unfortunate. It's really important. I know a lot of his supporters really had hope that he was Going to be that guy. He's not, though. Yeah, I know you did.
Jimmy Dore
I didn't have. As I told Chris Hedges, I don't have faith, but I have hope.
Misty Winston
Yeah. I think it's hard to not. You want people. I'm a cynic. I get called out for it a lot. People say I'm a black pillar. And I. I think that that's probably a little bit true. Obviously, I wouldn't do what I do. I wouldn't have done what I did for all the years I did for Assange if I didn't have a tiny bit of hope in my otherwise cold, dead heart. But it's. It's difficult to look around and see the way that things have been playing out and not be very cynical. So I had zero hope for Donald Trump, and I know that a lot of people did. And I get it. Like, I understand we're in. Looking around and watching the way that things are playing out, watching the chaos that's unfolding around us, watching a genocide being live streamed to us every single day for nearly two years now. It's a lot. And I think everybody really wishes that there was somebody who was coming to save us, but there just isn't. We're gonna have to save ourselves. I think so. I think that that's really what we need to wrap our heads around. And we really. We need to stop letting them divide us because we need each other. We all have a common enemy.
Jimmy Dore
We certainly do. And we really do. And it's the people who actually run the country. Yeah.
Misty Winston
And the system that's designed to kill us all. I mean, that's. We need to. We need to come to. We can have our differences of opinion. We can argue, we can have those debates. That's all fine, well and good. There's. There's issues that we need to have very nuanced conversations about, but we can't even begin to deal with that stuff until we deal with the system that's designed to kill us all. So that's. I really wish that people would stop letting them divide us in that way so that we can come together and figure out how the hell we fix this thing. If it's even possible. We may be well beyond the point of no return.
Jimmy Dore
So I, you know, I have lots of MAGA come out to my shows. I have lots of those same type of people in the UK and Ireland that came out, and they're not on board for. Certainly not on board for Israel or Zionism or for crackdowns on free speech. They're not for any of that stuff. So it's a, it's a, I, I feel like it's a sliver of his, his base. It's not his base. It's a sliver of it.
Misty Winston
I agree. I 100 agree. And it especially we've seen recently a lot of right wing influencer types are. And we're going to talk about that a little bit later. But there he stopped. He's really starting to get some pushback. I'm not sure, and I don't think, I'm not sure that he really cares at all about what his base wants or thinks. But we are at least seeing them push back, which, I mean, if we're just being objectively fair here, that's more than you can say for most liberals. Most liberals never do not care. Yeah.
Jimmy Dore
Never put the tan suit, Jimmy.
Misty Winston
Just a tan suit.
Jimmy Dore
That's the only, that's the only thing. Yeah. They want, they won't even, I live in, I live in Los Angeles. They won't even criticize the government when they let the city burn down and there's no water in the fire hydrants and they drain a, a reservoir right above Pacific Palisades before the fire season. They have no, no, no criticism whatsoever. None of them even from comedians. They, they're like, what? Oh, there's nothing they could do. So, yeah, there's, again, this is, there's more, way more pushback from MAGA than I've ever seen in at least in the last 15 years from Democrats for sure.
Misty Winston
There's no question about that. Which is, I mean, just depressing on every level. But it is what it is. And I will, I mean, just to give that contingent of the MAGA crowd credit, we are starting to see them, many of them. It's not just a handful here and there. I'm seeing it pretty extensively across social media. So I mean, that's great. I'm glad that they aren't because they get a lot of crap for being a cult. And I do think that there is that contingent that's very cultish. But there, there is some pushback, which as we said, is more than we can say for some.
Jimmy Dore
I mean, look at, look at Marjorie Taylor Greene, look at Matt Gaetz, look at Tucker Carlson, look at Steve Bannon. They're all pushing back Candace Owens, Dave Smith. That's right.
Misty Winston
There's a bunch of them big name people who, I mean, Dave Smith went on Breaking Points and actually apologized for ever supporting Donald Trump and for encouraging other people to vote for him. So that's. I don't think I've ever seen a liberal do that.
Jimmy Dore
No.
Misty Winston
No, ever.
Jimmy Dore
So we were left with Pramila Jayapel giving an aoc. Didn't they give Joe Biden an A plus?
Misty Winston
Yes.
Jimmy Dore
After he crushed a union strike. And after they wouldn't use their leverage for. To get a vote on medic Medicare, they wouldn't use leverage for anything. So, yeah, they're. They're worse than worthless. Yes, that's right. So. So tip of the hat to the people in MAGA who are sticking to their principles.
Misty Winston
Yeah, for sure. And I think Pramila, Jay Paul actually even came out and said that fighting for Medicare for all or fighting for force the vote would kill the movement.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah.
Misty Winston
On her own bill.
Jimmy Dore
Fighting for something you want. Yeah. If you fight for the bill that I wrote, that will hurt it. They're just charlatans.
Misty Winston
Yes. It's fascinating.
Jimmy Dore
Now we have some breaking news, right? That we do.
Misty Winston
We do have some very breaking news right now. Just maybe about an hour ago or so. Judge orders release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE detention. So this is very interesting. It says a federal judge in New Jersey has ordered the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro Palestinian activist and Columbia University graduate from immigration detention, where he has been held since March due to his involvement in campus protest. Khalil has not been charged with any crime, leading to debates over free speech versus national security. The ruling has elicited a broad spectrum of public opinion, reflecting the ongoing tension between these two core values. What do you think about this, J.D.
Jimmy Dore
So this is not what anybody who voted for Donald Trump thought they were voting for. They thought that they were voting for an immigration border crackdown and to deport illegal people who were here illegally and who were criminals. We wanted to start. They wanted to start with people who are illegal criminals. That. Which is what Donald Trump campaigned on. And instead he went to the people who nobody wants deported, people who are here doing the right thing, following the rules, adding to our culture, being brilliant students and speaking out and. Right. And so what he's doing is punishing people for speech. So he, when he got inaugurated, he started off with the saying, the era of free speech is here. And of course, he meant he was getting rid of the censorship that came along from the left. Censorship about COVID and censorship about protected classes of, Of. Of different races and the LGBTQ and trans and all that, and calling everything racism and sexism, which was a positive, I thought, in a lot of ways was a positive. And. But he just Replaced it with this new subset of a protected class of people which he says are Jewish people. But it's not because most of the Jews I know are not on board for what he's doing. They're not on board for his allegiance to Israel. They're not on board. Board with the slaughter of children in Gaza, and they're not on board with the Zionism. So really it's a protected class of a certain group of Jews which are Zionists. And, and so now he's deporting people or trying to people for thought crimes, which is the exact opposite of what people thought they were voting for. And so it's a real, it's a betrayal of maga. And it's not maga. It's what we call miga, which is make Israel great again. That's what this is all about. You know, a country of 10 million people is, is, it's, this is called, this is the definition of the tail wagging the dog. And instead of us dictating to a client state, which is what Israel is, and they couldn't do anything without our support and help, it's the exact opposite is happening. And MAG is not on board with this. I mean, that certainly people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson. This is not what. These are people he's deporting and imprisoning people who should be the last people he should take a look at. He decided to go after them first, not because anybody in the United States wanted him to do that, but because his, his owners wanted him to do that. And who do. I mean, Miriam Adelson, Benjamin Netanyahu in the APAC lobby. So that's where we are. It's, it's disgusting. Nobody's for this. Nobody's for this. I mean, there's, there's a handful of people, maybe Jordan Peterson, but he's Canadian, and Ben Shapiro, and his, and his allegiance is lied to Israel. He's a Israel first over the, over the United States. And so this is not what anybody voted for. This is the mirror of, of what we thought we were getting rid of with the left censorship. But, but here we are. What do you say, Misty?
Misty Winston
Well, I mean, I agree with you. I think that this is, and you know, I'm a free speech activist. This is kind of, you know, what gets my, gets me fired up the most. And it's very frustrating to watch Trump essentially just become Biden. But as you said, the mirror image. I mean, we, we, we're not allowed to talk about COVID freely. You can say the R word on Twitter.
Scott Horton
But we can't.
Misty Winston
But you can't criticize Israel. Yeah, I know, right? It's like such a huge victory. We're all really so much more free on that front. So. Yeah, I mean, it's a very frustrating thing to watch, but it's also, to me, it's very frustrating because I thought that this was very obvious. Donald Trump has never really been all that shy about who he is. He was never. I mean, this is a guy who had Julian Assange arrested. This is the guy who spied on Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy. This is the guy that plotted to assassinate Julian Assange. So this is not. He was never a free speech warrior. And he was able to convince some people that he was somehow the free speech guy. Elon was able to convince people that he was a free speech guy. To me, it was readily apparent that that was never the case. And so I'm very glad that this judge has ordered him to be released. He has a young family. I think he has a newborn son, in fact. So I'm very happy for him that he's able to return home to his family. There is a. Did you want to play this video, Jimmy? We do this video just to give.
Jimmy Dore
People a little bit of background of what happen and let's play this video.
Misty Winston
Yeah. This is from mom, Donnie, who's running obviously right now, currently. So this is a video. It just tells a little bit about the story.
G
A bright young man comes to the US to study. He meets the love of his life. She's from the Midwest. They settle down, get married, and are about to start a family. That's a story that could describe so many New Yorkers across the city. Three months ago today, right here in this lobby, this was Mahmoud Khalil, his wife Noor, and their soon to be born child.
Misty Winston
Okay, he's not resisting. He's giving me his food. Okay, he's not resisting.
G
Mahmoud was born to Palestinian parents in a refugee camp in Syria. Noor was born in Michigan. On March 8, Mahmoud was forcibly abducted by ICE agents who had followed him home. His wife asked the most basic questions.
Jimmy Dore
Can we get your name? Name?
Misty Winston
We don't give her name.
G
What was he charged with? Where were they taking him? But she received no answers. ICE claims Mahmoud tried to flee, but footage shows he clearly did not. Days later, it was finally revealed that Mahmoud had been taken to a jail in rural Louisiana, where he's been held for three months in perilous conditions. He was only recently granted a brief visitation with his wife, Noor, and their newborn son Sundin, whose birth he could not witness. Mahmoud is a permanent resident, the same legal status that more than 600,000 New Yorkers have today and that I once had myself. But he has been denied basic constitutional rights and detained simply for political speech. Mahmoud Khalil, like thousands of other New Yorkers, was standing up for Palestinian human rights, and for that, he was threatened. But when he shared concerns about his safety with Columbia University, they did nothing to stand in ISIS way. Mahmoud is a New Yorker, just like you and me. There has been no accountability for his abduction, his total denial of rights, and for Columbia University and this city's failure to protect him. New York is a sanctuary city, but Eric Adams has allowed ICE to operate in our neighborhoods and on our campuses with impunity. This is a moment to speak in one voice for the First Amendment and to free Mahmoud.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, I think we, I think certainly you and I agree on the free speech aspect of this. And it's, you know, Donald Trump came in with a mandate and he's blowing it. He's, he's, he's blowing it. He's blowing it on free speech. This is the opposite of free speech. This is, you're, you're using the full power of the government to go after people for thought crimes. That's what this is. And people tried to say that, oh well, he was, you know, leading violent protests. He didn't, there, he's not, he hasn't been charged with a crime. He didn't, there was nothing. He was a mediator. He was trying to bring peace. He was a peacemaker. And so, so all those crazy charges were just that they were made up, they were manufactured. And this is a thought crime. And if you're true maga, meaning you make America great again, you're for free speech. And they're like, well, free speech, people say free speech is just for American citizens. Well, he was a legal resident. He's following the rules. And by the way, free speech isn't a gift that we give to people we like. It isn't something we try to hoard just for American citizens. Free speech is a value that comes from God. It doesn't come from the Constitution, it comes from God. The Constitution just recognizes that and it promises that the government won't interfere with that God given right of free speech. So if you actually believe in the Constitution and you are a religious and you believe in free speech, you would be against this. Because free speech, again, isn't something we try to hoard for Just American citizens. It's a value we try to spread around the world to everybody. Just like we try to spread democracy around the world. We want to spread free speech around the world and bring it to everybody. It's not. It's not a prize that we hoard for ourselves.
Misty Winston
Yeah, well, and it's also not just for people that we agree with. Right. I mean, forget the American citizen, non American citizen. I think a lot of people that's. It's very frustrating for me because I feel like, in my experience, people. People are all for free speech unless it's somebody that they don't agree with, and then suddenly they lose their principles very quickly. And that's very annoying to me. And also, you mentioned that they, you know, smeared him as saying he was, you know, organizing these violent protests. And I just want to appeal to MAGA and the Right on this issue because that's the same thing that they said about January Sixers. That's the same exact thing. That's the same exact thing. And that's exactly what they do. Anytime that there is somebody who's stepping over the boundaries or who. Who's speaking out of turn or who's going against the narrative, they will SM you with any and everything that they can. And it's very frustrating to watch. I mean, it happens all the time. January Sixers. I stood up for January Sixers. I'm standing up for pro Palestinian protesters because I see the way that the exact same tactics are used against both groups. And it's just very frustrating that there.
Jimmy Dore
It's.
Misty Winston
Jimmy, there's no consistency of principle. There's no consistency, consistency of principle at all.
Jimmy Dore
Well, that's exactly right. So you need protection for speech that you hate, not for speech that you like. And so you can hate Palestinians, you could hate Hamas, you could hate what they have to say. But if you love free speech, you have to love free speech more than you hate them. I grew up in Chicago, where Nazis would march every year through Skokie, which was a Jewish community filled with the Holocaust survivors. And guess what? They allowed them to march because the Holocaust survivors in Skokie loved free speech more than they hated Nazis. And they understand that if they can take it away from them, they can take it away from everybody. So you either have to be all in or not. And so, yeah, again, you don't have to agree with this guy, but you don't have to agree with the Palestinian protesters. You have to agree with any of it, but you have to agree that this was a misuse of justice. This is the last thing that, this is a thought crime and this is the last thing we wanted Donald Trump to do. And he's blowing it. It, he's blowing his, his mandate.
Misty Winston
Yeah. I'm not even sure that he cares though, to be honest with you. So I'm very glad that Mahmoud is now free and home with his family. Hopefully there will be some sort of retribution or. I'm not really sure. Probably not. We know that there probably won't be. But that is some breaking news that we did have. So we wanted to bring that to you right off the top of the show because I think that just came out about an hour ago. So.
Jimmy Dore
Yeah, good news.
Misty Winston
It's good to have good news every once in a while, right? It's very rare. It's rare, but it's nice. So. Okay. And I actually want to talk to you about Trump. And if you're just now tuning in, welcome to the Jimmy Dore Show. I am your guest host, Misty Winston. Jimmy's here as well. He's back from his trip. We're here with Scott Horton. And I wanted to ask you about Trump's waffling because over the past couple of weeks we have seen him flip flop from negotiating to demanding total surrender and literally posting terroristic threats on Truth Social where he's, you know, threatening the life of the supreme leader and all of this stuff. I mean, literal terroristic threats. And now we've gone back back to, we have two weeks for negotiations. So what is that about? Is he just, is this smoke and mirrors? Is he trying to bait, is he giving them time for a false flag? What is happening with all of this waffling back and forth?
Scott Horton
I really don't know. I mean, he's treating it as though it's some trivial matter that he can just play around with, like it's some argument about the budget with the Democrats or some kind of thing like that. But I'll tell you the very worst one, and we have a story about this on Antiwar.com today by Dave Decamp is about how there was a report that said that the White House has ruled out the use of atomic bunker buster bombs because they don't need them. They've decided that they're confident that Even if Israel's 20,000 pound bunker buster bombs can't do the trick, that America's £30,000 deep earth penetrators will be able to do the job and so they won't need to use atomic weapons. And then the White House issued a statement refuting that and saying that's wrong and that in fact all options still remain on the table. Now, crazy, I don't believe that they're going to use nuclear weapons. And I'm not trying to panic people into drop it, quitting their job and moving out to the country and this kind of thing. But I am saying that that is absolute terrorism beyond belief. To have a nuclear weapons state, the originator and signatory to the non proliferation treaty, threatening a non nuclear weapons state, signatory to the non proliferation treaty with a nuclear first strike, when they are not threatening us in any way, they're not doing anything to us. We're only talking about whether our bombs are bad enough to get deep enough to blow up some centrifuges that they actually have the right to under that very same non proliferation treaty that he would dare to, even not directly. Trump himself didn't say this, but his White House did. For them to re raise after a story debunks it and to reaffirm the potential use of nuclear weapons in this war is absolutely criminal, is absolutely terrorism. And especially on top of, as you say, warning the entire population of 10 million people of the capital city of Tehran to flee the city. And this is absolutely outrageous behavior. Trump should immediately be impeached and removed from office for this. And I'm not playing about that. And I think probably you guys are at least somewhat sympathetic to my idea that I hate the Democrats so much right now they might as well burn Waco yesterday. And I was. I've rooted for Donald Trump three times. I've never voted for him, I never could because of Israel, because of this issue. I know better. But I have rooted for him to destroy his enemies and especially in the Democratic Party so badly. And so, you know, I'm not quite Dave Smith where I went out and pulled the lever for the guy. But man, don't anyone confuse me with Michael Moore or some liberal sympathetic to the ruling regime on the left right now in or any like political sense like that. This is good and evil. This is right and wrong. This is black and white, simple as fact. It is criminal behavior to start an aggressive war against a country's not even threatening us that in fact had not broken out and made the attempt to create a nuclear weapons capability in their country which would not be a legitimate casus belly for us to attack them anyway way, which by the way, you know, Harry Truman knew that the Soviet Union was making nuclear weapons. He didn't launch a preemptive war against the Soviet Union, which then Again, Truman was a common. He was surrounded by commies, so who knows? But then LBJ didn't launch a aggressive war against Mao Tse Tung, and he was the center left liberal and he didn't invade China to prevent them from acquiring nuclear weapons. And Mao Zedong is the most violent and destructive man who ever lived in the entire history of the world.
Jimmy Dore
World.
Scott Horton
He's Stalin plus Hitler combined. And LBJ didn't say, well, anything is worth it to keep atom bombs away from him. In fact, Maui even said, hey, even if I get in a nuclear war and I lose a few million people, well, I got a few million more. He was like that. He was an absolute madman. The most violent and destructive person who ever lived. And America didn't launch a preemptive war against him. But it's crazy to do this to the Ayatollah, who. The Ayatollah is a horrible leader if you live there. None of the three of us would ever want to live in Iran. But he's always been, I won't say extremely, but I would say mostly cautious in foreign policy. When George W. Bush handed him Baghdad on a silver platter, he accepted it. Okay, that much is true. But does that make him a threat to the United States of America? Absolutely.
Misty Winston
Absolutely not. No, I agree with that 100%. Bringing it up to current day, and now we're in the situation where we have a lot of people saying, oh, we can't trust Iran. Well, duh, I mean, you can't trust anybody. But we also can't trust Israel. And we saw this week CNN released a montage of Netanyahu fear mongering about this issue. And he's been doing it for a couple of decades. We can play that really quickly. It's very brief, just so that I know they played it on the show earlier, but let's just get an idea. This is over the course of decades of Netanyahu fear mongering about Iran.
Scott Horton
And their nuclear headline for attaining this.
H
Goal is getting extremely close. And Iran, by the way, is also outpacing Iraq in the development of ballistic missile systems that they hope will reach the eastern seaboard of the United States within 15 years. By next spring at most, by next summer, at current enrichment rates, they will have finished the medium enrichment and move on to the final stage.
Jimmy Dore
Stage.
H
From there, it's only a few months, possibly a few weeks, before they get enough enriched uranium for the first bomb. The foremost sponsor of global terrorism could be weeks away from having enough enriched uranium for an entire arsenal of nuclear Weapons that would place a militant Islamic terror regime weeks away from having the fissile material for an entire arsenal of nuclear bombs. If not stopped, Iran could produce a nuclear weapon in a very short time. It could be a year, it could be within a few months, less than a year.
Misty Winston
It could be tomorrow, it could be today, 30 seconds from now. I mean, he's been saying this for decades, and it is astonishing to me that this is so effective on people. But it is. I mean, fear is a very powerful, powerful manipulator. But what I think is so, I mean, just insane is that US Intelligence has been saying for years now, Scott, that there is no evidence, there's no evidence that Iran is seeking to create a nuclear weapon, including as recently as just March, when Tulsi Gabbard said as much in testimony in front of the Senate. We also have that clip. It's very brief. I'll play it quickly. The continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.
Jimmy Dore
And Supreme Leader, Leader Khamenei has not.
Misty Winston
Authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. The IC continues to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. So there you have it, Scott. What has changed since March, my friend? What has changed in the past, whatever it is, 90 days that suddenly we need to be. Thank you. Thank you.
Scott Horton
Only, only, only Donald Trump's deadline expired, and apparently he. That deadline really was apparently his promise to Netanyahu that if we can't get the deal that we want in this amount of time. And as we all knew, the question came down to the demand for a total cessation of all enrichment capability inside Iran or not, which the Ayatollah was never going to give into, and everybody knew it. And the question was whether Donald Trump was going to compromise or not on that and figure out about some kind of way to, you know, compromise. They talked about maybe a consortium, even with the Saudis or whatever, but find a way for both sides to save face and get back in the thing. And Trump just decided that, nope, he was going to go ahead and let. Go ahead. And, and I would encourage your, your audience all to just listen very carefully to the way they talk about this. They just say, oh, well, we can't let them get a nuclear weapon. This is what George W. Bush called shorthanding it. And that's when you just imply a bunch of lies and hope that people just infer them. Oh, yeah, I guess it sounded like he was just saying that they were about to get a nuke if we didn't do this, he didn't actually say that. He couldn't, he couldn't possibly explain how that's true. Right. And when he was.
Jimmy Dore
Well.
Misty Winston
And what's crazy about it, Scott, what's crazy about it is who are we to decide who gets to have a nuclear weapon and who doesn't? I mean, it is, it's crazy that we think that the world's policemen, that we get to, you know, this is a deterrent for other countries. We saw what happened to Gaddafi and Libya. We, I mean, I mean, we saw, we've seen the way that the United States conducts itself. And so the idea that the United States gets to tell people how and what they're allowed to have when we're the only ones that have actually used nuclear weapons, we're the only country on earth that's actually done that.
Jimmy Dore
So it's.
Misty Winston
It's just crazy to me. So I wanted to ask you, what do you think this means for Tulsi? Because many are calling for her to resign. I saw Dave Smith has been calling for her to resign. And she's proven over the years that, frankly, there aren't many issues she isn't willing to sit on both sides of. But she has to be under enormous pressure right now because this is something that there's statements from her going back years and years and years. In fact, when she ran for president against Donald Trump, this was something that she called him out on. So what do you think that this looks like for Tulsi Gabbard right now?
Scott Horton
I really don't know. I mean, this is always the problem that, that good and evil people have in government. They all think they're good, and they all think that everything would be worse if they weren't there. I've known a lot of good guys who stayed in the army for years and participated in battles that they wish they hadn't been in, but they couldn't bear leaving their guys behind. And with Jimmy in charge, Are you not this Jimmy? Sorry, I always use Jimmy as a name for a funny example. But just with, you know, leave Robert in charge of my group. No way. That guy's loose cannon or whatever you say, I got to stay to do the best I can. And the thing they all rationalize that way, all with power are afraid to lose it. Right. And so, I mean, put yourself in her position. You could still tell Trump a lot of truth about a lot of things if you stay. And you, I mean, hey, Dni, talk about the ear of the king. You could, yeah, you, you might not have won this fight, but you still got some. I gotta say, I'm a half a mind either way. Obviously there's a principal stand for her to take, but what if she can talk him out of the next stupid thing that he might do? It's a real dilemma for her, you know what I mean? But, yeah, I think I, I think what's really important and, and people are, I guess, are finding this very obvious. When Trump says, well, I don't care what she says.
Misty Winston
Yes.
Scott Horton
I mean, what he's really, he's not even bothering to give us. George W. Bush saying, well, the intelligence community says it's so dangerous and I have to do this. He's saying, the intelligence community says it's not. I don't care. And y' all, we don't care.
Misty Winston
I don't care what you have to say.
Scott Horton
George W. Bush's, yeah, In W. Bush's memoir, you know, he cites a conversation with his Royal Majesty King Abdullah over there, His Highness in Saudi, rather than Netanyahu or Ehud Olmert or something, but he still complains that, well, the CIA said that they didn't have a military program, so how was I supposed to attack him if my own intelligence agency say that they're not doing anything? Well, here Donald Trump is going far beyond where W. Bush felt completely hemmed in when the CIA was unwilling to lie for him in 2007 and 8. He said, well, okay, I guess the game is up if the CIA won't lie for me. I can't just start a war when the CIA is telling everyone I'm lying, right? And then, oh, here we are. Here we are with Donald J. Trump. Mr. No new wars, right?
Misty Winston
Mr. Peace. The peace president, Scott. He's the peace president. That's what I've been told anyway. He's the peace candidate.
