This episode centers on the controversial case of Tom Artrium Alexandrovich, an Israeli official accused of child predation in Las Vegas, and the involvement of interim U.S. Attorney Sigal Chadha in his subsequent release and return to Israel. Jimmy Dore explores claims of political favoritism, hypocrisy, and U.S.-Israeli relations, tying in current U.S. policy on Venezuela and broader critiques of political and judicial systems.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Tom Artrium Alexandrovich & The Las Vegas Child Predator Sting

• Background: Alexandrovich, identified as a deputy to Netanyahu and head of Israel's National Cyber Directorate, was caught in a two-week undercover Las Vegas sting targeting child predators. He was arrested after allegedly soliciting sex from a minor online (who was actually an undercover officer).
• Release and Controversy:
  • Alexandrovich was allowed to post bond and flee to Israel before seeing a judge.
  • State and federal officials, including interim U.S. Attorney Sigal Chadha, deflected blame on the release, with Chadha (an Israeli-born Trump appointee) accused of protecting Alexandrovich due to political motivations ([03:05]).
  • Dore highlights the loophole in Nevada law allowing accused individuals to post bail pre-arraignment, but criticizes Chadha for lying about her role and for failing to pursue extradition or justice ([10:06–11:49]).
  • Discussion on Israel's "right of return" policy and its frequent use as a haven for alleged American sex criminals ([17:14–19:08]).

“So that’s the maniac Trump appointed Israel first. As always. Israel born. Israel first.”
– Jimmy Dore [07:55]

“That is a false statement. A judge did not release him. That is not how that works. And I just explained to you how it works there. He got released before he ever saw a judge.”
– Jimmy Dore [16:08]

2. Sigal Chadha: Background and Political Views

• Political Appointments: Trump appointed Chadha as interim U.S. Attorney for Nevada; her controversial rise sidestepped typical Senate confirmation ([03:05]).
• Campaign Ad: Showcases her Israeli citizenship and strongly anti-Muslim, anti-left stances ([06:45]–[07:55]).
• Judicial Backlash: Over 100 judges publicly declared Chadha unfit for office ([09:05]).
• Deflection: Chadha falsely blamed local DAs and judges for Alexandrovich’s departure, despite Nevada’s automatic bail policies ([10:11–11:49]).

“She’s blaming other people. Have nothing to do with this process.”
– Jimmy Dore [11:03]

3. Media, Political, and Public Reaction

• Double Standards:
  • Candace Owens and Marjorie Taylor Greene both call out the U.S. for releasing Alexandrovich while blocking Palestinian children from entering the U.S. for medical care ([13:08–14:52]).
  • Dore: U.S. government, DOJ, and State Department show no outrage or real action, in contrast to cases involving far less powerful or less connected individuals ([16:12]).

“Would it be anti-Semitic to drag Netanyahu’s cyber executive director back to America and prosecute this piece of shit to the full extent of the law, and at the same time let Palestinian kids who had their limbs and bodies blown apart receive surgeries in America? Would that be anti-Semitic?”
– Marjorie Taylor Greene, as quoted by Jimmy Dore [14:43]

• Israel as a Haven for Sex Criminals:
  • Dore references CBS and Jerusalem Post reports about Israel being a haven for accused and convicted American pedophiles ([17:14–19:08]).
  • Connections drawn with Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, and high-ranking Israeli politicians, suggesting a pattern of protectionism.

4. Wide-reaching Critique of U.S. and Israeli Policy

• U.S.-Venezuela Relations:
  • Shift to discuss U.S. military escalation against Venezuela and comparison to the Epstein/Israel scandals ([23:14–25:49]).
  • Dore argues the Venezuela intervention is primarily about oil, not drugs or democracy, echoing Trump’s own campaign statements ([28:11–29:08]).
  • Noted bipartisan (Democrat and Republican) support for regime change in Venezuela ([31:16]).

“Trump, Mr. Peacemaker, is using the military to get to steal natural resources from another country for corporate America.”
– Jimmy Dore [28:35]

5. Ongoing Israeli-Palestinian Crisis

• Ceasefire Negotiations:
  • As Hamas accepts a ceasefire mediated by Qatar and Egypt, Dore points out Israel’s refusal, linking it to Netanyahu’s desire for continued war and land seizure in Gaza ([39:00–47:22]).
  • Dore and Ezra note mass Israeli protests against Netanyahu’s war policy and highlight hostages’ families’ reactions.

“Hamas again wants to give up half the hostages. They’re ready to accept the peace deal and a ceasefire for 60 days that Israel has already agreed to. But guess what? Now that Israel doesn’t want that.”
– Jimmy Dore [47:32]

6. Feel-good Segment Turned Indictment of Corporate America

• Meijer Supermarket Scandal:
  • Viral story about a disabled 16-year-old deli worker, James, arrested for eating discarded food due to hunger, after management waited for the value to exceed $110 ([50:09–57:08]).
  • Widespread condemnation of Meijer’s lack of compassion juxtaposed with their publicized charity donations.

“Imagine being this evil. Instead of talking to James, he’s watching him for months. And then when the throwaway food total up to $110, he had the 16 year old disabled kid arrested. I hope James sues the crap out of this manager. And Meijer. I hope so too.”
– Jimmy Dore [54:45]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments (with Timestamps)

• On U.S.-Israel Politicization of Justice:
  “[Sigal Chadha] thinks Netanyahu is too much of a pussy. Is that her message?”
  – Co-host Ezra [04:54]

• On U.S. Interventionism:
  “You know, when you’re trying to distract from funding a genocide, why not just steer into the skid, just start another war somewhere else.”
  – Jimmy Dore [25:18]

• On Corporate Cruelty:
  “This is a mirror held to a civilization that has inverted morality. In a healthy order, a community protects its weakest and youngest. … Instead, the full weight of a $15 billion corporation, security apparatus and police force was mobilized against him for $110 in food, food he needed just to endure his shifts.”
  – Read aloud by Jimmy Dore, quoting “Sightbringer” [57:10]

• On Recurrent Political Hypocrisy:
  "No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain."
  – Jimmy Dore [28:35]

Tone & Style

Outrageous, irreverent, aggressively critical of establishment politics, and laced with dark humor and sarcasm. Jimmy Dore and co-hosts provide context and background, interspersed with unfiltered commentary and audience asides.

---

Final Takeaways

Dore frames the Alexandrovich incident as emblematic of wider corruption and cronyism in the U.S. justice system, especially regarding U.S.-Israeli relations. From judicial appointments to selective outrage in human rights, he accuses both Democratic and Republican leadership of hypocrisy. Meanwhile, the tangential yet thematically-connected stories—ranging from Venezuela to the treatment of a disabled worker—underscore his central thesis: American political and corporate systems protect the powerful, punish the vulnerable, and routinely distort the public narrative for geo-political and economic gain.

How do you make an Airbnb a picture? A vacation rental with a host who's showing you every room like you've never seen a house before. Now get rid of them.

[Jimmy Dore]

There you go.

[Comedian Alex]

No host ever. Now it's a vrbo. Make it a vrbo.

[Jimmy Dore]

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. Establishment media sucks. August lighting so good luck. Bullshit. We can't afford why he's fomenting this Watch and see as his jack golf the medium speeds and jumps the medium.

[Qatari Diplomat]

And hits him head on.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's the chimney door show Update Regarding the Israeli official who tried to have with a child in Vegas then fled to Israel after meeting with the nsa. The US Attorney General who released him in Israel is Israeli born Segal Chadha. Makes sense now, especially given the fact that Vegas was effectively built by the adels and gambling empire. The entire city is an Israeli operation. Lol to the guys who think what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in Vegas likely winds up stored in a file in Israel. Israel is the godforsaken country of blackmail, murder and child abuse. So we briefly covered this story already once. But there's another twist to the story. Las Vegas and undercover operations targeting child predators in the Las Vegas Valley over two weeks resulted in the arrest of eight individuals. According to so who were the individuals? Well, this guy right here, Tom Artrium Alexandrovich. He is a deputy to Benjamin Netanyahu. He's in charge of their cyber security. Okay, and so so and here he is. That's it.

[Co-host Ezra]

That guy.

[Jimmy Dore]

He's the exec Executive director of Israel's National Cyber Directorate.

[Co-host Ezra]

So make sure no young kids get through.

[Jimmy Dore]

So he got caught being a child predator in Las Vegas. He got. He thought he was talking to A real kid. And he wasn't. He was talking to a policeman online. And then. And then when he. Yeah, he got Chris Hansen. And so when he went to meet the kid, the cops arrested him.

[Co-host Ezra]

And then when Hansen said, you're free to go, he really was, you're free to go.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's the twist. So here's the acting US Attorney in Nevada who made sure he. Look, he got let go. She facilitated his letting go, although she tried to pretend she didn't. And who is she? Well, Trump appointed. Her name is Seagal Chadha Seagal Chada Seagal Chatta. He appointed her to the post of U.S. attorney for Nevada in March of 2025. She was then the interim U.S. attorney for Nevada, and she was supposed to be only last 120 days. That's how long you can appoint Someone an interim U.S. attorney. So. But the time limit was overridden when Chatta. She resigned early. That enabled Trump to reappoint her as acting U.S. attorney. She's not been confirmed by the Senate and she's a maniac. And I'm sure her rise to power. Anyway, this is what she tweeted out.

[Co-host Ezra]

She talking about Nevada.

[Jimmy Dore]

So open source said that the Beavis family shared this following message. In the past few hours, we have been shaken by the announcement from Hamas spokesman regarding the expected return of our Shiri, Ariel and Kiefer this Thursday as part of a hostage release process. She retweets that and says no statehood ever for these criminals. Oh, I'm sorry, worse animals. She says no statehood ever for these animals. Netanyahu needs to start acting like Churchill instead of Chamberlain and wipe Gaza off the map. That's the woman Trump appointed to be the acting U.S. attorney in charge of Nevada.

[Co-host Ezra]

Chatta for Nevada says Ezra. Yeah, she thinks Netanyahu is too much of a pussy. Is that her message?

[Jimmy Dore]

That's that. I guess that is her message.

[Co-host Ezra]

Okay, so she goes real hard on that issue, but I guess fairly lacks on luring a child over the Internet.

[Jimmy Dore]

Was this, by the way, is this. This. This the family, the Bibis. Is this the. That's not the family of Israeli mega pop star Justin Beavis, is it? It's not just I don't keep up with the kids and their music in their heritage these days. But is it. Maybe that's just levers. That's not Justin Beavis. No.

[Co-host Ezra]

Do you like Justin?

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's another one. There are 2 million terrorists in Gaza. Leary was in their homes and the children, even the children are part of this. So she's blaming the children. This is why it makes it okay to kill the children. It's not just those carrying rifles and wearing green headbands. The so called uninvolved civilians are not uninvolved at all.

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, you keep killing them, so that's true. They are involved.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. Well.

[Co-host Ezra]

Wow. Where'd she come from? The desert?

[Jimmy Dore]

She's from Israel. She's originally. No, she's. She was born in Israel.

[Co-host Ezra]

Yeah, which sounds like it.

[Jimmy Dore]

And so here's a video of her when she was. She was running for office. She was running for attorney in Nevada. She lost. Max Blumenthal caught this. She says the acting US Attorney who enabled the flight of accused Israeli child predator and cyber spy Tom Alexandrovich campaigned for Nevada Attorney General by boasting of her Israeli citizenship and pushing crass hatred of Muslims. Her campaign ad was called Israeli Born. Want to hear it?

[Sigal Chadha (via campaign ad)]

The radical left is burning down our country and attacking Jews in the streets. And Ilhan Omar is fanning the flame. I'm Sigal Chadha, an Israeli born lawyer running to be America's number one conservative attorney general. I'll stand up to Ilhan Omar and take her team to court for defunding our police, opening our borders, and teaching our kids to hate each other based on the color of their skin. I need your help. The left is pouring money into the seat so they can put more criminals on the street. Can you chip in $25 right now? If enough patriots come together, we'll be able to build a grassroots campaign necessary to stop Ilhan Omar in her traps. It's time that we put strong female lawyers like myself forward to make our case.

[Comedian Alex]

That was not a question.

[Sigal Chadha (via campaign ad)]

Thank you. She's going to hate it if this message goes viral. Thanks for your support and God bless America. My name is Seagal Chadha and I approve this message.

[Jimmy Dore]

So that's the maniac Trump appointed Israel first. As always. Israel born. Israel first.

[Co-host Ezra]

Is she so conservative she likes Israeli sex offenders? Go home.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's how conservative she is. She's upset that Ilhan Omar is defunding the police, which they didn't. That's all bunk. They, in fact, they refunded the police and added an extra $2 billion onto the police budget. So. And how bad of a. How bad of a person is she?

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, wait, wait, wait. Ilhan Omar is from where?

[Jimmy Dore]

Not Nevada. She's from Minnesota. So she's running against someone from Minnesota.

[Co-host Ezra]

Bringing up Ilhan Omar at.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right, well, that's just to get people who to hate on Them a Muslim or something. That's a. That's. That's called dog whistling. Right? So here, more than 100 judges say the U.S. attorney appointee Sigal Chatta is unfit for office. So a hundred. Over a hundred judges said that she was unfit. She was unfit to be. The 100 judges signed a letter. This is from the Society for the Rule of Law. Put that out.

[Co-host Ezra]

And I bet there's some pro Israel judges on that list of 100 judges, you know?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Co-host Ezra]

It's the law.

[Jimmy Dore]

Here's. Here she is again. A lib. So here she is, trying to lie about what happened. She says a liberal district attorney and state court judge in Nevada failed to require an alleged child molester to surrender his passport, which allowed him to flee our country. The attorney general just called me outraged, and she called the FBI director, Kash Patel. The individual who fled our country should have had his passport seized by the state authorities. He must be returned immediately to face justice. Well, if she's really outraged, Pam Bondi, why didn't she make a tweet about it? Why didn't. Or cash Patel. Why aren't they upset? Remember how the guy who threw the subway sandwich at that cop? They call it the deep state. And they tweeted out the video. They couldn't talk about it enough. Where is their outrage over this Israeli Benjamin Netanyahu deputy being allowed to go back to Israel, the home of pedophiles in the world, by the way. Why is. Why isn't she. No, that's.

[Co-host Ezra]

She. She didn't let him go. I thought she's responsible for him being able to be like, this is very strange.

[Jimmy Dore]

She. She know she was. So that's a lie. Because what happens in Nevada is that you get to post bond before you even see a judge. So that she did. He didn't even see a judge. The judge couldn't take his passport away because he got released because of the system they have in Nevada where he can post bond without seeing a judge first, which is exactly what he did. So interim.

[Co-host Ezra]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, let me just read this.

[Co-host Ezra]

Rachel Wolfson's dad, who works here, one of the comics. That's her dad, Wolfson.

[Jimmy Dore]

Oh, really?

[Co-host Ezra]

Yes.

[Jimmy Dore]

Interim U.S. attorney for Nevada, Segal Chatta blamed Wolfson and a state court judge for failing to require Alexandrovich to return his passport after posting bail. However, neither had anything to do with the process. So she's blaming other people. Have nothing to do with this process. The judge and this guy Wolfson, who's.

[Co-host Ezra]

Also Jewish, by the way. You're trying to pin it on another Jew. That's pretty messy.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's not good. The justice court sets the standard bail schedule and the process to bail out of that point post arrest does not involve the district attorney's office nor any judge. Alexandrovich did not appear before a judge and posted bond before his state entitled probable cause hearing and before prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against him. Thus no judge could put any added restrictions on his release. He was just arrested and charged.

[Co-host Ezra]

Oh well, just a sex crime with a child. Why would you. Why would he not?

[Jimmy Dore]

While a judge later reviewed the bail, there was no physical hearing and the judge had no mechanism to add further restrictions.

[Co-host Ezra]

Not even like a slot, like a lever he could pull.

[Jimmy Dore]

So get this. So just, just know that it's your American taxpayer money that he used to bond out of that jail. Just so you know that.

[Co-host Ezra]

Oh man, does Ilhan Omar at least hate it.

[Jimmy Dore]

And now here's U.S. attorney Nevada. So this is her. She released this she says. Last week Tom Artium Alexandrovich was arrested in Nevada Internet crimes against children joint operation. He was booked into the Henderson detention facility. This important multi agency operation targeted child predators who preyed upon the most vulnerable members of our communities. As a result of the operation the Clark County District Attorney's office is handling the prosecution. Wait a minute. Why? That seems weird.

[Co-host Ezra]

Well the entire thing has been bizarre from start. Right from the start of this.

[Jimmy Dore]

Candace Owens says this. She's got some good insights. She says. She says. Update Regarding the Israeli official who tried to have with a child in Vegas then fled to Israel after meeting with the nsa. The US Attorney General who released him in his Israeli born Segal Chadha makes sense now, especially given the fact that Vegas was effectively built by the Adels and gambling empire. The entire city is an Israeli operation. Lol. To the guys who think what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in Vegas likely winds up stored in a file in Israel. Israel is the godforsaken country of blackmail, murder and child abuse. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene is upset about this. She said two recent decisions made by the State Department both involve children. We need to be the America that allows war torn children to come here for life saving surgeries. And the America that never releases a foreign child sex predator that our great LEOs caught. But in this circumstance LEOs are law enforcement officers. But in this circumstance those war torn children are from Gaza. There's children from Gaza who have missing limbs. And so they were supposed to come to the United States and get prosthetics prosthetic arms and legs. They canceled their visas. Who did that? The State Department. Yeah, that's Trump's State Department. Canceled their visas to come get prosthetics here. But this circumstances. Those war torn children are from Gaza and this foreign child predator is from Israel and works directly for Netanyahu. Let me guess. Would it be anti Semitic to drag Netanyahu cyber executive director back to America and prosecute this piece of it to the full extent of the law, and at the same time let Palestinian kids who had their limbs and bodies blown apart receive surgeries in America? Would that be anti Semitic? This is Marjorie Taylor Greener. This is her going right at the Trump administration. I know. Going right at them.

[Co-host Ezra]

You'd have thought the Trump administration was a French first lady with a dick the way she's going at them.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Las Vegas was effectively built by the Adelson gambling empire. The entire city is an early operation. You're telling me that Bugsy Siegel was Jewish? Come on. Next thing you're going to tell me is that Bob Odenkirk is a goy. Oh, grab him by the pussycat.

[Co-host Ezra]

I had to grab. Yeah, the cat.

[Jimmy Dore]

My special will be out this Saturday. It will be dropped on YouTube, rumble, Facebook, everywhere on this Saturday. So here the State Department put out this says, the State Department is aware that Tom Atrium Alexandrovich, an Israeli citizen, was arrested in Las Vegas and given a court date for charges related to soliciting sex electronically from a minor. He did not claim diplomatic immunity and was released by a state judge pending a court date. Any claims that the US Government intervened are false. Well, that's. That. That is a false statement. A judge did not release him. That is not how that works. And I just explained to you how it works there. He got released before he ever saw a judge.

[Co-host Ezra]

I mean, so they're lying coming, right?

[Jimmy Dore]

Right.

[Co-host Ezra]

Blakely, that coming?

[Jimmy Dore]

I am. Blakely says it's also quite strange how chill you guys are about this. So you'll melt down after a student wearing a khafifa, but over a student wearing a khafifa. But this guy is an alleged pedo caught by local law enforcement and then got away. And you guys are just like, listen, we didn't have anything to do with it. Where's the concern? Man, this is revealing. Yeah, they're not outraged at the State Department. They're not saying, we're demanding extradition for that guy back to the United States to face these charges. They're not upset. There's no.

[Co-host Ezra]

I'M surprised they're not going. You're still talking about that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah.

[Co-host Ezra]

That's typical thing for Israeli pedophiles, is it not? What are you even talking about that for?

[Jimmy Dore]

I like this, like this Subway sandwich. That's what Trump's. Trump's attorney general does. Oh, Israeli head of cybersecurity banging kids. No problem.

[Co-host Ezra]

Now, are we sure the Deep State is not a new kind of sandwiches Subway. And that's why they were using maybe Deep state turkey on whole wheat.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hoagie Clayton Morris says why allow him to return to Israel, which is a haven for pedos and sex criminals? 90% of all sex crime cases in Israel result in no indictments. And here's. It's from the Jerusalem Post. Israel needs to stop being a haven for criminals. That's from the Jerusalem Post. And here's from CBS News.

[Sigal Chadha (via campaign ad)]

A CBS News investigation has uncovered a loophole that allows accused and convicted American pedophiles to escape justice by moving to Israel. So Ian Lee has been following this for more than a year and he traveled to Israel for this investigation. He worked with a group that tracks people accused of sex crimes, which estimates dozens of Americans have used this loophole.

[Jimmy Dore]

So, so why don't we close that loophole? Of course not. Of course we're not gonna. And those people go unprosecuted once they get to Israel. That's why they go there. Because if you're Jewish, you have a thing called the right of return, which means if you're a Jew, you have the right to go to Israel and demand citizenship. And that's exactly what they do. And they get it. Just so somebody tweeted this out. I thought this was interesting. A former Israeli prime minister visited Epstein dozens of times in a four year period and this wasn't investigated. Between 2013 and 2017, Iud Barak, former Israeli Prime Minister, visited Jeffrey Epstein approximately 30 times at Epstein's Florida and New York estates. He flew with Epstein on his private aircraft, accompanied by his wife and an Israeli security guard. In 2015, he entered into a business deal with Epstein to fund an Israeli startup. And by December, he began visiting Epstein monthly for nearly a year. And there he is.

[Co-host Ezra]

Nice.

[Jimmy Dore]

There's Barack. Entering the home of Jeffrey Epstein. January 2016, he had to know if.

[Co-host Ezra]

Prince Andrew's a better friend than him. Do you like Prince Andrew better than me? Am I your best friend or not?

[Jimmy Dore]

So Israel French just texted me that.

[Co-host Ezra]

The Philippines are full. Full. That's why they gotta send it to Israel.

[Jimmy Dore]

So this. So, yeah, so this is not only is Trump not releasing the Epstein files and calling you a weakling stupid if you want them released, even though everybody in his cabinet ran on releasing them, not only is he protecting that pedo ring, which he is, that's what, that's what he's doing. And he's protecting Israel by doing so. Now he's letting pedos just go free, not demanding they be extradited back to the United States. Not just let him free. Yeah, and that was, that was all arranged because that guy is an Israeli diplomat and Trump has that tool of Israel appointed as the Nevada U.S. attorney. So that's what's really happening here. And they're lying to you at every turn. The State Department lied that Chatta, the U.S. attorney for Nevada, she lied to you. They're all lying about this. What happened is Israel as a pedo working for Netanyahu. He got caught in a pedo sting and then they allowed him to go back to Israel. Nothing's ever going to happen.

[Co-host Ezra]

In fact, why does this happen so much? Also, why would you send Laura Loomer and Narco Rubio to block the kids with no legs from getting legs? Like it's not enough that they can't have legs. You're going to have Laura Loomers awful face for them to look at and frighten them away from the border.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, if you want something good to look at, you can come look at me in Rutherford, New Jersey, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Appleton, Rosemont, Chicago, Louisville, Fort Wayne, Hermosa Beach, Sacramento and San Francisco. Go to jimmy dore.com for a link for tickets. So this is another one of those. I wonder, I Wonder why Marty McCarry, the head of the FDA, canceled his appearance on our show. Were they afraid we were going to ask him stuff about. I don't know what he was afraid we're going to. I wasn't going to ask him about this, but they, they love to go on CNN and msnbc, but they don't, they won't. They don't want to come on independent news unless it's, you know, somebody easy.

[Co-host Ezra]

If they go on it, then it's not independent. Yeah, it's so big that they think it's going to help them. You know, these idiots go on Rogan and then they think they're going to do great and Rogan lets them talk and everybody hates them after they're done. Cash Patel went on like he was going to tamper that Epstein thing down.

[Co-host Ezra]

Mother and father never married and I'm ashamed.

[Jimmy Dore]

And they've been tried and you know the United States has been trying to they over they did get, they did Coup Venezuela in 2002 I think but then got Chavez I think it was got right, right back in power. And so they've been trying and why it's because there's oil underneath Venezuela and Venezuela has more oil than Saudi Arabia. And that's what this is about.

[Co-host Ezra]

And the Koch brothers built them refineries a long time ago. They even get to use Specialized Venezuela oil refinery.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right. The Koch brothers built Specialized because the oil under Venezuela is heavy crude, not light sweet crude which comes from Saudi. So it's heavy crude. So it takes extra refining. And so the Koch brothers built these refineries right. On the Gulf of Mexico in the United States or the Gulf of America.

[Co-host Ezra]

Yes, I was going to Correct.

[Jimmy Dore]

And, and, and then Venezuela said, well, we're going to charge you more for the oil. And they were like, what? We're going to try and throw overthrow you. And that's what they've been doing ever since. They've been trying to overthrow them. And this is just more of it. But this, they're doing this now also. There's several reasons, but this is also another Epstein distraction. They're trying to do everything they can to distract you from Epstein. Everything. Everything in the, in the pot in there. The US Is prepared to use every element of American power to halt drug flows. So now they're saying Venezuela is exporting drugs. By the way, fun fact. Did you know that all it takes for you to be standing on value, all it takes for you to be considered a illegitimate leader of a country is for your country to have a lot of natural resources? That's all it takes. It's good.

[Co-host Ezra]

Some freedom.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. It's a good thing America came along and strained you out. Yeah. Suddenly now the drug flow out of Venezuela is a problem. You know, when you're trying to distract from funding a genocide, why not just steer into the skid, just start another war somewhere else. That's what this is.

[Co-host Ezra]

But Venezuela is not on our border. Those drugs that they're flowing up must go through a lot of other places on the way to America, don't they? That's the point where the drugs have to be stopped at Venezuela.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right. So Trump has mobilized three destroyers and 4,000 Marines going towards Venezuela right now. So that's what Trump's doing. Mr. Peace. Mr. No war is going to go try to overthrow with the military another sovereign nation that is not a threat to the United States.

[Co-host Ezra]

And by the way, they won't win.

[Jimmy Dore]

We won't win and we're not. No, no, no.

[Co-host Ezra]

It's like, what are you doing?

[Jimmy Dore]

So here's somebody did a little report on this.

[Political Commentator]

The Trump administration is now openly threatening to invade Venezuela and there are already warships and marines on the way. Listen to what Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt had to say about it.

[Comedian Alex]

What I will say with respect to Venezuela, President Trump has been very clear and consistent. He's prepared to use every element American power to stop drugs from flying into our country and to bring those responsible to justice. The Maduro regime is not. The legitimate government of Venezuela is a Narco terror cartel Maduro is. The view of this administration is not a legitimate president. He's a fugitive hen of this cartel who has been indicted in the United States for trafficking drugs into the country. With that, I will leave you all and we will see you later, if not tomorrow. And I look forward to taking more questions. Thank you.

[Political Commentator]

Thanks, Caroline. Thanks for threatening to invade a sovereign nation that never attacked us, Caroline.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, and she sounds like she's using those drugs that she says are coming out of Venezuela. I don't know if you got. There's more.

[Co-host Ezra]

I'm going to leave it at that.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, leave it at that.

[Political Commentator]

The media's so pathetic. And what an absurd justification for invading a country. Did you know that the more U.S. troops that have been sent to Colombia, the more that narco trafficking has increased? And that's because the US doesn't care about narco trafficking. They're mad that Venezuela has a socialist government, which means Western corporations can't pillage all of their oil. Trump has even said that himself. He's explicitly said that he wants to go in and get all of Venezuela's oil. Like, how could anyone believe that the US Wants to send troops to the country with the largest oil reserves in the entire world for freedom and democracy or to stop narco trafficking? We know what you did in Iraq. You can't fool us with this anymore. And you know what'll happen if the US military topples the Venezuelan government? It'll create a whole bunch of Venezuelan refugees and they'll come right here to America, where Trump and his friends will scapegoat them for all of our economic problems. These people create immigrants and then they blame them for everything. Hands off Venezuela, you scumbags.

[Jimmy Dore]

So just. Just to remind you that Trump actually did say that he was going to steal the oil. Remember this? Watch this. This. When was this from? This is from a campaign rally in the fall of 2024.

[Donald Trump]

How about we're buying oil from Venezuela? When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over. We would have gotten all that oil. It would have been right next door.

[Jimmy Dore]

We would have taken over Venezuela. We would have gotten all their oil. Yeah, it's right. That's what this is all about. Trump, Mr. Peacemaker, is using the military to get to steal natural resources from another country for corporate America. Just no matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.

[Co-host Ezra]

Remember when the stupid sanction on Russia that made our gas go up? That genius move of oil sanctions that hurt us, so they went and had to Beg Maduro for oil.

[Jimmy Dore]

Remember that? Remember that? I remember that.

[Co-host Ezra]

Oh, it was about to collapse. Juan Guaido, the guy that moved back there, if it's so bad that makes no sense and gets beaten up by people in restaurants that just live there because they hate his guts. And we had to blow this guy for oil just a couple years ago.

[Jimmy Dore]

Just a couple of years ago. That's a Good point, Kurt. US sends three warships toward the coast of Venezuela. Maduro mobilizes 4.5 militia members. 4.5 million militia members. Three AGS. US AG's guided missile destroyers are set to arrive off Venezuela's coast within 24 hours, part of the Trump administration's effort to counter threats from Latin American drug cartels. Okay, he already told us what the real deal is when he was campaigning in 2024. This is because he wants to steal their oil.

[Co-host Ezra]

Venezuela is below Colombia. Right? I didn't. I'm not making that up. Colombia is above Venezuela on the map, so you would probably go to Colombia first. Oh, that's right. Sean Ryan and all kinds of great Navy SEAL podcasts come out of dealing drugs in Columbia.

[Jimmy Dore]

As per Reuters, the deployed American ships are the USS who cares what the name are? The US military had also previously announced on August 22 that air and naval forces would be deployed to the Caribbean with more than 4,000 sailors and marines. As the Trump administration shows increased increasing willingness to use military force to combat drug trafficking in Latin America. That's not what this is. They're not combating drug trafficking. These military assets are to operate in international waters and international airspaces across several months. Uh. Oh, okay. The mobilization of the US Military assets follows Washington's recent decision to increase the bounty on Maduro's capture, doubling it to an unprecedented US$50 million. Last week, attorney General Pam Bondi announced the seizure of assets worth US$700 million from the Venezuelan head of state. So this is the same stuff they do all the time. This is. Does anybody?

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, when Trump announced Juan Guaido the rightful ruler of Venezuela, that's the one spot Nancy Pelosi wasn't getting up and tearing his speech apart. Yeah, they were all bipartisan together on that stupid shit.

[Jimmy Dore]

Well, I'm going to tell you, World War 3, 4, and 5 are going to happen before there's an official release of the Epstein files or anything. In an official statement published on Tuesday, the Venezuelan government says the Bolivar Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela observes with total clarity the desperation of the United States administration, which resorts to threats and defamation against our Country. Washington's accusation that Venezuela is involved in drug trafficking reveals their lack of credibility and the failure of its policies and in the region.

[Co-host Ezra]

I can't argue with that.

[Jimmy Dore]

In response to the increased US military presence in the Caribbean, President Maduro announced a plan to mobilize 4.5 million militia members across the country. This would be part of a plan of peace with militias that would be prepared, active and armed, the leader said on live television. Maduro then further urged his political base to mobilize into rural and industrial militias rifles and missiles for the rural forces to defend Venezuela's territory, sovereignty and peace, he claimed. Speaking to allies at a political event on Monday evening, Maduro affirmed to defend sovereignty. Our seas, our skies and our lands are defended by us, liberated by us, guarded and patrolled by us. No empire will come to touch the sacred soil of Venezuela, nor should it touch the sacred soil of South America. No empire in the world. He did not mention the US ship deployments. The leader did, however, question the presence of US military bases in Colombia, which he qualified as an humiliation to the history of independ in the region. There are approximately 76 U.S. military bases in Latin America. But according to the U.S. department of. 76 U.S. military bases can't stop the.

[Co-host Ezra]

Drug flow with them.

[Jimmy Dore]

Bases in Latin America, that's weird.

[Co-host Ezra]

They got to go further south.

[Jimmy Dore]

But according to the US Department of State, the US provides security assistance to Colombia to promote the country's stability and security. Really? That's what they're doing.

[Co-host Ezra]

Amazing job, guys. Amazing, amazing, amazing work. You should do great in Venezuela. That's going to work out great.

[Jimmy Dore]

Let's just remember, mind you, one more time, what this is all about.

[Donald Trump]

How about we're buying oil from Venezuela. When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over. We would have gotten all that oil. It would have been right next door.

[Jimmy Dore]

We would have got. So they. So that's why you put economic sanctions on Venezuela, to try to collapse their economy so their government collapses. And so then we could go in, install a puppet like Juan Guaido who's friendly to American corporations, and then we could steal their oil and their natural resources. That's what this is all about.

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, it'll be funny if this government, if our government collapses before any of these governments they are trying to collapse. I mean, I won't enjoy it because I live here, but I could see how you'd laugh.

[Jimmy Dore]

Do you remember when they tried to coup the government in Venezuela just a couple of years ago and send our best and they. And they. And when Trump was president and they. They tried to pretend that Juan Guaido was the real legitimate president of Venezuela, even though when he. When Juan Guaido goes to a restaurant in Venezuela, the citizens beat the crap out of him. He can't go out.

[Co-host Ezra]

Why would he move back there?

[Jimmy Dore]

So this is from Al Jazeera. This is from May 7, 2020. A coup attempt was allegedly foiled in Venezuela. The two US citizens have been arrested by Maduro's government and a Florida security company has claimed responsibility for the incursion. Those are my guys. This is real. Here we go.

[Co-host Ezra]

Piglets.

[Jimmy Dore]

So we don't. We know what happened.

[Co-host Ezra]

Hello.

[Jimmy Dore]

We know what happened. Pelosi claps as Trump calls Nicolas Maduro a socialist dictator before giving a standing ovation as he introduces failed fascist coup leader Juan Guaido. The bipartisan agenda to topple socialism and destabilize the region in the name of big oil interests is on full display. Let's watch.

[Donald Trump]

This is leading a 59 nation diplomatic coalition against the socialist dictator of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro. Maduro is an illegitimate ruler, a tyrant who brutalizes his people. But Maduro's grip on tyranny will be smashed and broken. Here this evening is a very brave man who carries with him the hopes, dreams and aspirations of all Venezuelans. Joining us in the gallery is the true and legitimate President of Venezuela, Juan Guaido. Mr. President, please take this message back to your.

[Jimmy Dore]

There it is.

[Co-host Ezra]

Carries the hopes and dreams of the surviving Koch brothers.

[Jimmy Dore]

I like. As he's sending the military into cities and arresting people, homeless people and kick. He's. He's claiming Maduro is a guy who's a brutal dictator and a tyrant to his own people. Brutalizes his own people. As Trump puts 45. Yeah.

[Co-host Ezra]

Why don't we invade England if we're worried about shit like that?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. And by the way, we're never going to defeat Venezuela. How do I know? Because we haven't done it for 80 years, you know?

[Co-host Ezra]

Name the wars you won. Don't say Grenada. I'm not counting it.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, Name a war we won.

[Co-host Ezra]

That's something, isn't it? To have a military industrial complex and then never win a war ever the fuck again. There's nothing wrong with that, right? I'm sure that's not the problem.

[Jimmy Dore]

It's been announced that Hamas has accepted a peace deal, a ceasefire deal anyway. But I guess we're waiting for Israel. I don't know. Did Charlie Brown eventually learn not to kick the ball while Lucy was Holding it, trusting Israel to keep their promise about a ceasefire is like trusting them about anything else. I wouldn't trust a BJ from an intern in the White House. But you know, then again, I didn't marry Hillary Clinton, so my mind is intact. Anyway, let's listen to. Here's the announcement. This is the guy from Qatar.

[Qatari Diplomat]

We have a positive response from Hamas. That positive response, according to what we know, is almost all that was agreed before by Israel in previous iterations of these talks. We are yet to receive a response from the Israeli side, so we cannot make any claims that a breakthrough has been made. But we do believe it is a positive point. When we have a positive response from Hamas over the agreement that was there on the table since a couple of months ago. It is within the confines of the Witkoff plan, which you mentioned. And you're absolutely right, it's a continuation of that process. Obviously in the details, like the devil lies, there are a lot of things that have been discussed, but it's almost identical to that plan.

[Jimmy Dore]

So they got a plan that Israel had agreed to previously and Hamas has accepted those terms. And what are the terms? It said that it accepted a ceasefire proposal presented by Qatar and Egypt, which comes as Israel is planning a massive escalation that involves forcibly displacing more than 1 million Palestinians from Gaza City and sending them south. Hamas, along with the Palestinian factions relayed their acceptance of the proposal put forward yesterday by the Qatari and Egyptian leaders. Hamas said in a statement. According to the Arab diplomat speaking to the Times of Israel, the deal would involve the release of 10 living Israeli captives and a 60 day truce during which the two sides would be expected to engage in negotiations for a long term ceasefire. The Times report said that Israel has received the proposal. But Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared to dismiss the news and signaled he still planned to go ahead with the escalation in Gaza. Because Benjamin Netanyahu does not want an end to this war. And it's not a war, it's a genocide or an ethnic cleansing either, which once one sounds a little nicer. And he this has been the plan all along. He doesn't want those hostages back because if all the hostages got released he would lose his pretext to keep going in slaughtering Palestinians and taking over more of land in Gaza. So that's other Israeli officials outright. I mean, of course Israel hasn't accepted this yet because it's counter to everything that they want. Could that be why they haven't accepted it if they already wanted those hostages back, those hostages would already be back. But they do not want those hostages back. The hostages are only useful in print, not in person. They say what they saw when they get the mic. You they can't have that. So they don't want the hostages getting released, saying, yeah, we were treated well. Well, everything's great. We should end this war. They don't want that. Other Israeli officials rejected the idea of a deal with Hamas. We only fight to win and under no circumstances to stop halfway with a partial deal that abandons half of the hostages and could lead to ending the war and defeat, said Israeli Finance Minister Bazal El Smutrich. Israel Defense Minister Israel Katz said that he's got a great deli that Hamas was willing to discuss a deal for the release of hostages only because of its fear that we seriously intend to conquer Gaza City. Israeli National Security Minister Itmar Ben GVIR wrote on Twitter that Netanyahu has no mandate to pursue a partial deal. President Trump has backed Israel's plans to escalate its genocidal war, claiming in a post on Truth Social on Monday that the only way to free the Israeli captives and Gaza is if Hamas is confronted and destroyed. And when he says that Hamas has to be confronted and destroyed, they mean everyone, everywhere, right? Because anyone who's against this war, they consider Hamas. They're just starting out locally before they spread to everywhere else in the world, which they all already already planned to do. They've always planned that. That was always their plan. Here's Trump's true social post. We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed. The sooner this takes place, the better the chance of success will be. Remember, I was there's just as many Hamas today as there was when the war started. You know why? Because when you kill more Palestinians, it radicalizes more Palestinians and they want to fight against you. So they join Hamas. Remember, I was the one who negotiated and got hundreds of hostages freed and released into Israel and America. I was the one who ended six wars in just six months. Really? What? Which war? I know he did. The Armenia, Azerbaijan. He doesn't get credit for that. I give him credit for that. I don't know of another war they stopped. Do you know of another war they stopped? I don't know. Was it the Syrian war because they let Al Qaeda take over? You mean like that? I was the one who ended 6, 4, 6 I. I was the one who obliterated Iran's nuclear facilities. Play to win or don't play at all. That's what? That's what Trump had to say. In light of the news of Hamas is accepting a ceasefire proposal. The family members of Israeli Israelis held in Gaza are ramping up their pressure on Netanyahu to reach a deal. Remember, like almost over 2 million people just got done protesting Netanyahu, protesting for him to end this war and get those hostages back. They know he doesn't want them back. They know it's Netanyahu that's standing in the way of getting the hostages released and ending the war. They know this. They was 500,000 people alone in Tel Aviv protested him. There have been significant protests. That's it. That's what I'm talking about right there. You see it? I'm talking about it. And so we demand that Netanyahu immediately conduct continuous negotiations for the release of all the hostages from Gaza. Said hostage and missing families. For him. The people stand with the hostages. The people will bring the hostages back. The people will not allow the Prime Minister to sabotage another deal. Well, talk about working with anybody for good, because those Israeli people, that's the perfect example of having to work with people who are doing everything for the wrong reason, but they're still accidentally doing the right thing. So I'm on board with the Israeli people on this. Breaking. Israel says it has no choice but to increase its bombing of Gaza City after disturbing reports that Hamas has agreed to the latest ceasefire proposal. Yep, that's pretty much how they roll. Here is, here's some of reaction following Hamas's approval of the ceasefire framework. Here we go.

[Al Jazeera Reporter]

Well, let's get into what exactly is on the table. A source has told Al Jazeera that this proposal would be a 60 day pause in the fighting that would eventually lead to talks for ending the war. And as part of this deal, half of the Israeli captives still held in Gaza would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners. Unclear, though, just how many Palestinian detainees would be released as part of the deal. But it's worth mentioning that the previous agreement that was on the table, the so called Witkoff proposal, was something the Israelis had said they had previously said yes to. However, there was no indication from the Israelis that they were willing to end the war. And that stance has only hardened in recent weeks and months. But we have just heard from Israel's Defense Minister who said that Hamas is willing to come back to the negotiating table only because Israel has now greenlit the plans to occupy and take over Gaza City in the north. So there are a lot of moving parts here. But mediators have been scrambling for months to Try and get both sides to agree to some sort of framework where ultimately there could be this temporary pause in the fighting. But as. As part of that pause, on day one, there would be talks for ultimately ending the fighting in Gaza.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, how about this? How about Israelis, how about Israel releases all the Palestinian children you have in Israel prisons? I mean, if you, if you support the imprisonment of children, you're not just a piece of shit. You are a shit sculpture. By the way, here are the six wars that Trump's claiming. He ended the opposite. And Armenia, which I gave him credit for. He did that. It was actually a great piece of negotiation that they did. Cambodia and Thailand. He's taking credit for that. Israel and Iran. Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. India and Pakistan. Oh, yeah, I forgot about India and Pakistan. Egypt and Ethiopia didn't hear about that. And Serbia and Kosovo didn't hear about that.

[Co-host Ezra]

What?

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah. So he stays. So he Sundays. He's ended six wars already, so maybe.

[Co-host Ezra]

He has, just not the ones I heard of.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yeah, Israel, Guess what. Israel military is calling up 60,000 reservists as it prepares for Gaza City ethnic cleansing campaign. So they're ramping up the war. Nothing's going to stop them. Not. Not peace negotiations, not humanitarian efforts. They're like a harvesting machine. They do not recognize you. So that's it. So Hamas again wants to give up half the hostages. They're ready to accept the peace deal and a ceasefire for 60 days that Israel has already agreed to. But guess what? Now that Israel doesn't want that. No, we're going into Gaza City, we're ethnically cleansing it. They're taking over Gaza in the west bank, ladies and gentlemen, this is not stopping. Unless an international force gets together and militarily invades Gaza to stop Israel from doing this, nothing is going to stop them. Hamas can release all the hostages right now. In fact, they should, just to call their bluff, they should just to go. What? They're just giving them a reason. So why does. Why? I. If I was advising Hamas, which obviously I'm not, I would say, go ahead, release them all. What. What more could they do to you? They're already doing it. Your. Your hostages are zero leverage.

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, also the hostages don't want to be killed themselves because, as you know, Israel kills their own hostages.

[Jimmy Dore]

That's right.

[Co-host Ezra]

Or they beat them into silence if they weren't mistreated enough.

[Jimmy Dore]

What are they getting out of the hostages? They're really not, because Netanyahu doesn't want them back. So do the thing. Netanyahu doesn't want give them the hostages back, so now he doesn't have any pretext for doing any of the things he's doing. Take it away. I. I do think this is a bit of a blunder on Hamas's part, but you know what? What do I know? Well, good for Hamas, bad for Israel. Israel's not going to accept this. They're going to keep going. They. They got 60,000 reservists. They're taking over. It's all over. Look up the Greater Israel project, because that's what this is. So here's a real feel good story. This guy's disabled. Guy works at Meyer's Deli. He was eating food out of the trash that they were going to throw away. The man fired him. The manager noticed he was eating food out of the trash that they were throwing away. And what did he do? Had him arrested. Yeah, had the guy arrested.

[Co-host Ezra]

The right thing.

[Jimmy Dore]

I feel so much safer knowing that disabled deli workers are no longer skimming sustenance from the garbage. A place that throws out thousands of dollars worth of food every day. And this was tweeted out by Right Angle Network. Americans are calling for a boycott of the retailer Meyer after body cam footage revealed that a $15 billion corporation had a 16 year old disabled deli worker named James arrested for taking $110 in food over three months to get through his shifts. Wait, but he wasn't. He was taking the food they were throwing out. That's the. That's the part. So we have James here.

[Comedian Alex]

Who's James?

[Jimmy Dore]

Right here. Right here. Okay. He is. He works in our deli department. Okay. And we found out that he's just been taking like, orders of chicken and fruit cups and stuff like that for 110. Yep. All right, what is wrong? Like, first of all, why wouldn't you just fire the kid? Why would you. A 16 year old kid, you're gonna have him arrested even if he was stealing food right out of the deli? You just fire him, have him arrested. But he wasn't eating food right out of the deli. He was eating food out of the can where they were throwing the food out. What's your question, Kurt?

[Co-host Ezra]

It's not that we know they pay him like he's a manager, but this is some kinky thing, right? He needed the food.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes.

[Co-host Ezra]

Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes. And this is the manager doing this. James, do you have anything on you need to be aware of? Don't reach for it. If you do, don't reach for it. If you Do. Okay, so I have a Sharpie and a box cutter in this pocket. All I have in this pocket is my phone and my earbuds. And then in my back pocket I have my wallet. You want to stand up for me?

[Political Commentator]

Okay.

[Jimmy Dore]

All right. Just go ahead and put your hand in the wall for me.

[Comedian Alex]

Let me just.

[Jimmy Dore]

I'm just going to take everything out. We'll get it, get it with it. And.

[Al Jazeera Reporter]

And how unfritening this kid is.

[Jimmy Dore]

Right? It's disgusting. Well, if he's got a box cutter, he might hijack that office and fly to into a building. So these are the, these are the people there in management of yours, like the box that's not my property or anything. And they're all sitting there witnessing this kid.

[Donald Trump]

Yeah.

[Jimmy Dore]

That is.

[Al Jazeera Reporter]

An advocate for this kid right now.

[Jimmy Dore]

Anything in your shoes or anything like that? Nope. 16 year old. You can put your palms together. Put your palms together. Palms together. Palms together. No, they're. They're putting him in handcuffs. Yes, this.

[Co-host Ezra]

So wait, so where. Where's he live?

[Jimmy Dore]

So I don't know where this happened, but where's the where? So Andrew tweets out, where's the compassion? Where's the humanity? According to reports, the 16 year old Meyer Deli worker James arrested for stealing $110 worth of food from a throwaway bin. That's not stealing, by the way. Was this. That's not stealing. Was described as having special needs and walked to and from work. At the Seven Hills, Ohio store. He reportedly took small amounts of discarded food like fruit cups and chicken over months to eat during shifts. Meyer's decision to wait until the theft reached a chargeable amount before involving police rather than addressing it earlier sparked significant backlash for lacking compassion, especially given James circumstance.

[Co-host Ezra]

So they did a sting on a slow kid that eats out of the trash.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yes. So the manager knew he was doing this and they waited for it to amount to $110 so they could charge him.

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, some of these mentally disabled are very clever. You have to trick them, you know.

[Jimmy Dore]

Wow.

[Co-host Ezra]

Get away with what? So what town is this that the cops have time to come and put somebody in handcuffs for that? Where are the cops? Where I live, there's all kinds of.

[Jimmy Dore]

So why. Why did. So I like what sad dad says. Sad dad says. Meyer could have just spoken with him after the first time they noticed that he did this, but instead they decided it was better to let him continue doing it until it met some sort of quota. Shame on you, Meyer. I shop there at least twice a week. I will be passing by going forward.

[Co-host Ezra]

And that is remarkably strange that like I'm still trying to understand how that could be real.

[Jimmy Dore]

That sting.

[Co-host Ezra]

You had a sting operation.

[Jimmy Dore]

And there's the. That's the guy. Imagine being this evil. Instead of talking to James, he's watching him for months. And then when the throwaway food total up to $110, he had the 16 year old disabled kid arrested. I hope James sues the crap out of this manager. And Meyer. I hope so too.

[Co-host Ezra]

Yeah. Who would think such a handsome man could be so ugly?

[Jimmy Dore]

He looks like the perfect central casting douche boss. That's what he looks like.

[Co-host Ezra]

He looks like a guy that also eats out of the trash, if I'm being quite honest.

[Jimmy Dore]

Hey, give me a guy with a bitter mustache, a pot belly and control issues.

[Co-host Ezra]

Like aren't there other people that are like the cops? Go, what? You know, this is. We have real job. We're cops.

[Jimmy Dore]

Boy, look at this. Look at the shitstorm titty boy has stirred up over here. Gentlemen. Gentlemen. My eyes are up here. Get this. Meijer announced on March 24th of last year that they donated $2 million to 30 of our food bank partners across the midw. Surprise gift that will help them feed more families and individuals facing food insecurity.

[Co-host Ezra]

Yeah. Don't do it. It's a trap. Don't take that food. Families.

[Jimmy Dore]

Don't do it. They're gonna. They're gonna get you a restaurant.

[Co-host Ezra]

That's how they lure you in. That's Myers old drink.

[Jimmy Dore]

So Starcasm says. So you donated $2 million in food but you couldn't show any compassion to one of your employees, a 16 year old kid with special needs. You wouldn't take that donation.

[Co-host Ezra]

Wouldn't.

[Jimmy Dore]

Why wouldn't you take care of them?

[Co-host Ezra]

Well, because that donation is probably some bullshit tax break fucking fake thing. It went to your food bank partners. What the fuck does that mean?

He was so Dwight says he was taking trash to eat trash. These effing people called the cops on him. Nah, smells like discrimination. And wanted to get rid of him one way or another instead of seeing he needs help. They chose to support a corporation that wouldn't care if they died on the job.

[Co-host Ezra]

You know, if you caught it, it's that big a deal. Okay? And I work places where I don't know why, but that was like a big deal. So right then and there you go, hey, if you do it again, you're fired. You tell me this guy built a file up a thing that you could have easily Made him not do yes. Or fired him right then.

[Jimmy Dore]

They could have just fired him the first time.

[Co-host Ezra]

I want to see if he leads to a bigger fish.

[Jimmy Dore]

Yep. So Sightbringer says this is a mirror held to a civilization that has inverted morality. In a healthy order, a community protects its weakest and youngest. The disabled teenager who's trying to survive on scraps of food. That is the very definition of someone society should guard. Instead, the full weight of a $15 billion corporation, security apparatus and police force was mobilized against him for $110 in food, food he needed just to endure his shifts. That inversion is this scarf cut. Theft upward is normalized. Theft downward is criminalized. CEOs loot billions through wage suppression, buybacks and rent extraction with impunity. But a starving kid taking a sandwich triggers handcuffs. This is not rule of law. It's rule of hierarchy. Law as a weapon against those without power. Well said.

[Co-host Ezra]

I agree with that. Except for I don't think that kid was starving. But even if you just want snacks, still too much and they're wrong. Even if he's just eating it to eat it. Because ain't nobody in that picture look like they're starving.

[Jimmy Dore]

Nobody.

[Co-host Ezra]

That looked like fake Zionist propaganda to say Palestine's okay.

[Jimmy Dore]
