Bill Maher Faceplants While Attacking Jimmy Dore & Joe Rogan!

Come see me on tour in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Atlanta,

Rally, North Carolina, Spokane, Tacoma, and Levitown, New York. Go to JimmyDore.com for a link for tickets. [MUSIC] Just to let you know what the overton window is.

“I think everyone knows what the overton window is.”

It's a very common phrase used almost exclusively in common, I mean, in politics. So the overton window is a concept in a political science, describing the range of ideas or policies that are considered acceptable, or mainstream within public opinion, at any given time.

Policies inside the window are seen as viable for politicians to support without risking their careers. Those outside it are viewed as two extreme radical and unthinkable. In short, the overton window explains why certain ideas suddenly become normal, while others remain taboo.

It's about the boundaries of acceptable debate shifting over time. For example, same-sex marriage, right? There was a time when you couldn't before that, and then there was a time you couldn't be against it. So the Eurovision window had shifted on that.

Marijuana legalization, once radical and unthinkable, now everybody's for it. Economic policies like a 70 to 90% top marginal rate were within the window, the overton window in the mid-20th century. But now you couldn't say that without sounding like a crazy Marxist communist fascist. COVID-era policies, things like widespread lockdowns or vaccine mandates.

“Those were once inside the overton window, now they're way outside of it, okay?”

And so why do I bring this up? Because Bill Maher, now he, I know he hates me. And I know it bothers him that I make fun of his stupid take sometimes. And the reason I know that is because the last two times ago when I did Joe Rogan, he was the next guest. And he wouldn't even come in the building until I had left the building.

He said his assistant in to scout to make sure I wasn't there. So we didn't have a confrontation or he didn't have to say hello to me or anything. But he sure doesn't against not in there either. Yes, okay. So just to let you know, it's nice to know that I bother Bill Maher and he's afraid to meet me.

But he's dumb enough to put me on a show, which is great advertising. I, again, it just, it just tickles me to no end that he put me on a show. But he was afraid to say by name, which even makes it better. So yeah, but he didn't say your name. He did, new rule and he didn't at the end at the end of, he did it like in the middle

of a rent where he's literally bragging about being dumb about stuff. Yes, it's to stuff we used to think I used to make fun of, uh, right wingers for like flat earthers and people didn't believe in evolution, stuff like a Muslim cleric, he would be insulting for saying it's foolishness to learn more when you already know all the stuff. As a thing, he would criticize it a Muslim.

But here he is, uh, he, it's the ultimate boomer take, right? It's the ultimate. So, so let's watch and, and about the three minute mark is going to come to me. Let's watch. Oh, sorry, stop making me no stuff.

I don't want to know. Did you know that the human brain actually has an actual finite storage capacity?

It's estimated to be about 2.5 million gigabytes.

Impressive, but not infinite. By the way, stop making me no stuff. I don't want to know. That sounds like a title of, that should be the title of Bill's podcast. Uh, club random sounds too much like he actually might learn some things.

I don't want to do that. Yeah. Please don't make me know. I don't want to know about dead kids and gods, uh, I hate kids. Also, I don't need to know if my hooker is a penis.

What are we getting married? Just blow me and go, okay? Okay. Okay. So here we go.

Uh-huh. Twice some time, you just gotta say, disc full. Now, these aren't horrible jokes, but just remember what these are all in aid of.

“These are in aid of defending ignorance about stuff you should know.”

Okay. Here we go. Stop shoving things down my brain. Couple of weeks ago on our overtime segment, one of my guests used the term, the overtime

window, which up until a year ago, I had heard only once every never.

The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window.

The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window. The overtime window.

Sorry, but I just couldn't hold my tongue anymore.

Well, the overtime window has opened up. You know about it. You know what that is? And I don't want to know what that is. Don't tell me.

Yeah. So if there's what the billmar is known for, it's his resistance to any new information of any kind. Even when the new information is decades old, which explains his audience. Okay. Here we go.

Yeah. I wasn't kidding. This isn't a bit. I really don't know what the overtime window is, and I really don't want to know. It's a really basic thing.

I just explained it at the top. Everybody who watches this show knows what it is. And it's so easy to understand people who watch CNN know what it is, because they use it on their all the time. Right.

And even if you think it's stupid, and I agree to annoying term that annoying people in round the lot. Keep going.

“I agree, but you should know about it so you understand the thing you don't like.”

Yeah. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't really sound like it. It may be the only thing that's still on my bucket list. I want to die, not knowing what the offensive win goal is. Now, maybe it's awesome, but it just seems like the kind of pedantic bullshit that triggers

me. So if you try to, so if you try to tell me I'm the street, I'll keep walking. And it's only on a plane, I'll jump out of real window. If you start to explain it to me, I'll stop you. If you write it, I won't read it.

I didn't order it. I didn't order it. You know what? Well, we didn't order the Iran War either, but that's what's for dinner now. Okay.

And I don't think I needed, because I'm a strong believer in the academic theory of it. I kind of get it. He kind of gets it, Kurt.

So basically, he rewards ignorance and comfort over uncomfortable knowledge, which, that's

“a network prerequisite, by the way, if you want to work anywhere close to that kind of”

money. Because the money is made in no small part from the propagation of greater lies. Okay. Here we go. I kind of get it.

The Overson window, it's something bad we don't want to pass through and Trump. Trump is just making it worse and I'm sure he is, but that's enough for me. I don't need to chase every one of your manufactured buzzwords down the rabbit hole. But rabbit hole is fine for him to use. No problem.

Which is joke. He's like, I learned rabbit hole. I'm not wearing this. What is getting out? Okay.

A couple of years ago, Joe Rogan and his guest, some guy, that's me. How did he, he's calling me by my, my confirmation name. I'm James Patrick, some guy, door. I thought he said some boy. Aha.

Yeah, I'm just some boy. He's that boy. Anyway, here we go. So there it is. I made it out of, so just by the way, this is from several years ago.

So don't think that this is hasn't been sticking in his crawl for a long time. And what is sticking in his crawl? Well, he's going to show you. Watch this. It took me to task for not knowing what done.

By the way, my show gets more viewers in a month than yours does. My show gets well over 33 million views a month.

“How many million views do you think Bill Marcho gets?”

Less than that. That's for sure.

And we don't never know because HBO never releases their numbers.

But anyway, just to let you know. Okay. And I definitely am jealous of his platform because his platform actually gets to influence policy and the discussion. But so does mine.

Here we go. I think it does influence. I think it's the advertisement for what the policy is going to be based on the guess. You're probably right about that, Kurt. But here we go.

The EF or MK Ultra was, it doesn't even know what the WF is like. He did that. He didn't even know where MK Ultra was. Okay, okay guys, WF is world economic forum with the billionaires meet every year and doubles.

Yes, I do know that.

ago.

You didn't know what, you didn't know that WF was a thing.

You didn't know about the Builder Berks. You thought that was awesome. Kind of crazy Alex Jones conspiracy stuff, which is why Joe Rogan, who is infinitely more popular than you, which is and said that on his own show and why the last time you were on his show, you had to beg him to come on your show to prop up the numbers and he kept

telling you no.

“I don't know if people remember that, but I do.”

He kept begging him. No, because Joe was like, I don't want to be on everybody talk. So he goes, no, you'll come out as my special guest. You don't want to be. He's like, no, I'm not doing like, come on, please Joe come on my show.

Joe said, no, and it's still bothering him, and it's still bothers him that I've made fun of him correctly for a long, long time. Okay. You don't support his real. And I don't support his real.

Okay. He doesn't even know what the WF is all about. He didn't even know what MK Ultra was. Now his audience is laughing because they also are ignorant of what MK Ultra actually is, and Bill Mars is going to try to pretend we try to dismiss it as something that happened

in the 60s, and as if the CIA would ever stop doing mind control. Anyway, here we go. Okay. All right.

“Guys, WF is world economic forum where the billionaires meet every year in Davos.”

Yes, I do know that. I just don't call it the W-E-F. That's what they call it. Guess who calls it that. The W-E-F.

What does he call it? The whole day before did you go to? What is that? I call it the Orgy I go to. I didn't know we had a name for it.

If I hear Joe Rogan say W-E-F, I just assume it's some form of professional wrestling organization. Which also gets bigger numbers than your show. Okay, so it's, this should be called the People Bill is annoyed and jealous of segment. But here we go.

And MK Ultra, okay, the old CIA program where they experimented with LSD, yes, I've read about it. I just don't use the decoder ring. So do you see all that right? He tries to dismiss it as solid that thing they did one time with LSD.

That's not what MK Ultra was. Okay. And he's trying to make it look like whoever talks about MK Ultra is a conspiracy theorist who uses wears tinfoil hats and decoder rings. That's what that.

That's what that is. Okay. Oh, okay.

Too bad he doesn't understand what actually MK Ultra is and that it never went away.

Because it explains why the media uses those hypnotic moron phrases that he hates. Yeah, he's going to get into, watch what he does after he's going to show mocking him or do you? So that's Bill Barr could I do a kick. The day was going to come when he put me on a show and the day came and there it is.

And God forbid he should ever become a better citizen. It's much easier being a smug, lazy, sofa, spud like his audiences, arrogance and ignorance, dancing, hand in hand without the dancing part because that's too much work. Okay. People.

I don't need to know stuff, but I do have a show where I talk about stuff. That's right. Yeah, if he had a huge no facts, it'd be one thing if you're a Jimmy Fallon playing Bear Pong. You're a guy who's bringing on editorial writers from the New York Times and Doug's

presidential candidates, people, everybody wants to come on your show because it's legacy media. And you don't care to know about stuff. That's who Bill Barr is and that's which is why he's still on the side of Israel and gets his ass handed to him by anybody who's normal and what comes on his show.

Like Glenn Greenwald and I'll show you that in a second.

But here, let's watch this. I don't feel like I need to know everything. I'm sure. No, you need to know most things that you are talking about especially a term that is currently been used in political speak for at least a decade.

Just because you have a politics show, that's the reason I would say that.

“Yeah, if you have a politics show, that's why you should know what the over-to-gwin position”

is. There's something I'd be like, keep it about fish, you know? Yeah. I was a better citizen. I would research all these things.

MK Ultra and cognitive offloading and astro-terfing and shittification and the shelling points. And I will. I promise I'll burn up on all of them. Not the fucking over-to-gwin position.

So, you hear his audience applaud like seals for ignorance.

Yay! They're clapping like seals and no wonder their opinions are all solidly locked around

decades old data because they're deliberately training the audience to never move on

and keep the old lies alive. Guess what Bill? That's MK Ultra. Yeah, well, should I not go to a four-year school to learn of what the over-to-gwin dough is?

It's a lot of work as you know. It is a lot of work. It's this very minor concept of being the view cage of the mind is. So, here, I just want to remind people, when Bill Mart does not bring on people who are smarter than him or have a critique of his stupidity.

And here's why. Here was the last time Glen Greenwell was ever invited on Bill Mart show and you tell

“me if you could, how is the over-to-gwin dough shifted?”

Here we go. It's not our fault what came out. We didn't go into Egypt. We wound up with a Muslim brother. We went to Egypt.

We were supporting and popping up, Mubarak for 30 years, even as we were cheering for all that Tahir Square demonstrators is that we were on their side. It was our government that kept Mubarak in power, just like we've done across the entire Muslim world.

And it's amazing for you to say that, look at all these Muslims, the minute you give them

a little bit of freedom they go wild and they start being all violent. How can you be a citizen of the United States, the country that has generated more violence and militarism in the world over the last five or six decades and say, look at those people over there, they are incredibly violent. We play a significant role in what has been happening in the Middle East because we've been

interfering in dominating that region in order to have access to the world. I wasn't talking about violence. I was talking about theocracy. That doesn't happen. Oh, really?

“Well, okay, that doesn't happen here, but at the same time Iran is an invading lots of other”

countries and occupying them for a decade, nor are fundamentalists, most countries the way the United States is. So, these things are interlinked because we are continuously interfering in that part of the world. So to say, it's not all our fault, but when you send your military for six state

straight decades into other countries to bomb them, kill their children and women and innocent men. And we want to talk about dictators. Yeah, you take responsibility for your actions and say, to the extent of that region, that religion goes back a thousand years before our revolution.

So I don't think we can take all the blame. I don't think we should. I think we should take a lot of it. And there's lots of bodies and corpses that have been piled up in the name of Christianity and Judaism as well, not recently.

You have heard of the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza for the last 50 years motivated and part-by extremist views of Judaism or the wars in Europe or the fact that there were generals in the United States saying we have to go in and they didn't destroy Iraq, a country of 26 million people because our God is bigger. Lots of religions, not just Islam, produced by a big one, quick point about Egypt.

Absolutely liberal view, that all religions are alike because it makes you feel good. No, it makes you feel good to say, our side is better. No, it makes you feel good when you lie around on your head and say, I'm a good person. How do I do that? You get to ignore the responsibility that your own government has for the violence and

instability in the world by saying, look, it's that primitive religion over there. That's to blame. All right. It's time for me. All right.

I've never had someone on who smart again.

It's always going to be Pablo Spewers, establishment hacks and people who are so neoconservative that they make me look like a lefty. That's what's on his show. And whenever someone who actually is on the left or actually is not a neocon comes on his show, they destroy him just like that.

Crystal Ball was able to destroy him on his own show, which is why he's not, which is why she hasn't been back on. Oh, I guess you're the most moral person in the world. Oh, look at me. I don't go to prostitutes constantly.

I guess I'm Mr. Morals. So these are the kind of people. This is who we had on that show. These were his other guests.

“So he could look like a progressive, hip, cool, sent, uh, lefty, but he's not, right?”

He's a neocon right wing Zionist, maniac. Bloodstained. See Jimmy, I hate the ought to see except for one. So here's the except for one. Here's the people who are on his show, Brett Stevens.

He's a Pulitzer Prize winning opinion calmness for the New York Times. And Gillian Tett, she's a columnist for the financial times. You want to know the last article that Brett Stevens just wrote for the New York Times? 20 years on, I don't regret supporting the Iraq War. That's the kind of people he brings on his show.

The other columnist says how bots could help revive democracy. These are the people he brings on his show. So he could look like the hip, smart, cool person because he has to bring on cretons and neocons. So he does, so he doesn't look like the Neanderthal he actually is. That's Bill Mares game, but Bill, thank you so much for putting me on your show.

And showing me talk about how dumb you are because you don't know what the W.E.F. is.

You don't know who actually runs the world because what you say is, well, I read the papers.

“That's why you're so ignorant and misinformed.”

You know, the people who read the paper, who don't read the papers are unenformed. People who do like you are misinformed.

He will always, he'll always quote, well, it's not in the papers.

I read the pad read three papers a day. I read the New York Times. Yeah, like Tyreek to watch, and that's what he thinks is news, ladies and gentlemen. Which is why he has a show on establishment TV because if he actually knew anything, he wouldn't have that show.

He'd be relegated to YouTube like we are and like Glenn Greenwald is and like the Grey Zone is and everybody else in between. What do you want to say? I don't know what bots are, okay, I just know they would help democracy. I like to bread Stephen's guy.

Why don't regret supporting the Iraq word 20 years later? Is the answer because you didn't lose a limb? Over it. Yeah, probably.

“So, thank you again, Bill Maw, we have to get, I wish I could talk about this all day.”

But let's, we have to go, we have a guest coming up. I don't have enough room in my brain, okay. Okay. I don't have enough room in my brain to understand why, oh, that by the way, that was video he did with Glenn Greenwald.

He goes, yeah, well, not lately we've been tracking up bot. Are you kidding? So that was right before, as real started doing a genocide. Well, it was about 10 years before. We're not lately.

He had a show complaining about how we were doing that back when he sounded like he knew something.

And when they kicked him off ABC, he got his mind right and he'll never say anything honest

about Muslims. He'll never say anything honest about what's happening in Israel, Palestine, the greater Israel project. A religion except one religion for some reason and it's funny, it's because religion causes all the violence.

Is it Israel? Is it Israel? Which one? There's their whole justification for Israel's existence. Is it the Bible?

But it keeps the Jews safe for y'all to admit that. Hey, you know, here's another great way you can help support the show. You should become a premium member. We give you a couple of hours of premium bonus content every week and it's a great way to help support the show.

have been damaged in the Iranian strikes, making up the majority of U.S. positions in the Middle East. The first they came out, right? And I'm going to show you the video they put out in a second. Glenn says there's now good journalism on the major destruction imposed by Iran on most

regional U.S. military bases using sophisticated and precise weapons. But again, those, whose understanding of the Iran war comes from Fox and the White House and Trump influencers have no idea this is happening.

So it took, it took about 60 days for CNN to actually report this and here's what they

reported and I want to get your reaction to this. Camp Gearing, Kuwait, American soldiers enjoying it karaoke night at one of the biggest U.S. military hubs in the Gulf. That was then this is now a once-bussling American micro city in the desert, nerdy empty and heavily damaged after a week's long barrage of Iranian missiles and drones.

One of many U.S. military facilities in the oil rich Arabian Peninsula targeted by Iran even as the U.S. and Israel pummeled the Islamic Republic's large arsenal.

“So what impact have Iran's strikes had on America's footprint in the Middle East?”

A CNN investigation found evidence of unprecedented destruction. We can reveal that strikes damaged at least 16 U.S. installations across eight countries. According to our analysis and sourcing, that's the majority of American military positions in the region and some of them are virtually unusable now. A U.S. source familiar with the situation told us that they'd never seen anything like

this at American bases, that these were rapid, targeted strikes using its technology, Iran's main targets, multi-million dollar aircraft, like this Boeing E3 century, which gave the U.S. a huge amount of visibility over the Gulf. It's out of production, and in today's money, it's worth nearly half a billion dollars. Critical communications equipment.

Look at these giant golf balls. They're known as ray domes, and they protect satellite dishes vital for data transmission.

the war. And crucially, radar systems.

“Highly sophisticated, expansive, difficult to replace, and critical to air defense.”

A second U.S. source, this one a congressional aid familiar with damage assessments, described

these as the most cost-effective of the targets. Our radar systems, they said, are our most extensive and our most limited resource in the region. For U.S. allies in the region, there's a dilemma. In some ways, Iran's show of force makes the U.S. presence in the region even more necessary

to Gulf security. But there's a new reality here, which is that U.S. military installations previously seen as formidable fortresses have turned into sitting targets. As a Saudi source told me, the war has shown Saudi Arabia that's the U.S.'s longest-standing Arab ally that the alliance with the U.S. cannot be exclusive, and it is not, in their

words, impregnable. To get a sense of just how vulnerable U.S. facilities have become, have a look at this. It's the war room at Hottar's Eladeid Air Base. The theater command and control hub for U.S. air power across 21 nations. Struck not just once, but twice, and according to a U.S. source causing significant damage.

The base had been largely evacuated at this point, and no casualties were reported.

Iran's visibility over its targets has never been clear.

In 2024, according to the Financial Times, Tehran secretly acquired a Chinese satellite, known as the TE-O-1B, a massive upgrade from its own satellites. That means that Tehran went from looking at images of this quality to this. This is the first time America has fought an adversary with satellites that capture high-res imagery, almost as detailed as its own.

As the scale of the damage comes into focus, many will wonder whether America's presence once a protective shield in the Middle East has turned into its Achilles heel. Let me just get your reaction to this.

My reaction is that, of course, the military lied about this, and that this was tried.

They tried to cover it up, and it works because the news media in the United States is owned by the military industrial complex in the banks, which you'll do all the wars.

“But anyway, what is your reaction to this report that came out 60 days too late?”

Well, Jimmy, it's, see, Ron's fault, he's a country, right in the middle of all East US military bases. I mean, let's face it, you know. I mean, if the president was not told that the Iranians were going to hit our bases if we attacked. He ought to, you know, to get a new arms forces advisors. If it was not told that the Iranians would close the straight-up for moves, well, he's flying blind. I made a big mistake, or if I'm playing logic to all this before the war started.

And I, every reason that, oh my god, they have to know the closer straight. They have to know that these, these bases are, are vulnerable, so they, they won't attack you, Ron. How wrong I, yeah, how wrong I was. And, you know, I could be right again. But I think maybe, maybe we're okay for the next couple of weeks for two reasons. Putin has weighed in very heavily an hour and a half with the president just a couple of days ago.

In which he warned, look, this would be completely unacceptable. If you continue on this, this road, particularly if you put ground troops in there, completely unacceptable. The Russians words are, are the strongest you can use in diplomatic discourse. And number two, if Trump wants to go to China, which he does, you know, what's a 10 days away? He's not going to go to China if he resumes this attack on, you know, there are firefights today,

“but I don't think the ceasefire has completely dissipated or ended. And I think that we may be”

safe for another two weeks, but that applies logic to Trump. And that's a big mistake as I learned right at the beginning before the attack on February 20th. Let me hit one of the things Jimmy that most people say, oh my god, there was no plan. There was no real, you know, no strategy. What all of you? Well, yeah, that was a strategy. Do whatever, baby, Netanyahu, who tells you to do? I mean, it was explained by our Secretary of State, Slash, Statial Security Advisor, Furio, when he said,

and I quote, that he has really told us they were going to attack Iran. And we thought that they were probably retaliated against us. And so we preemptively moved against them so that when they retaliated against us, we wouldn't suffer such terrible losses. Hello, Joe Kent, what did he say? He said, there was no imminent threat. It was he's rallies. Both it is real and our guide,

I admire his courage. So if Americans are wondering what the strategy and there is no strategy

because it's a knee jerk reaction to what Netanyahu sort of started. And I'm sure that it was prearranged, but he forced the Trump's hand. And it's going to come to a no good end as the Chinese would say, unless somebody like maybe the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would talk some sense into Trump. This is a guy, and this is kind of a hopeful note. Tony Agilar. I don't know if you've been to this yet. We know we've had him on our show for sure. Yeah. Well, just a couple of days ago,

he said, I know, I know you're in a pain. I work with him every day. He's the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. Right. Yeah. He said, you know, there was one instance where Trump issued a truth social tweak and said, uh, we're leaving. We're pulling out a Syria right now. And then he was going to send the Secretary of Defense into Syria to talk to the rest of us who were there in that one of those bases. And now, he couldn't come. So Trump came himself

and there's sort of a council of war around the table, all two star three star generals, and then Jeron Kane, one star. Now, by pre arrangement, Tony, Tony Agilar and Jeron Kane had decided we'll look. You know, we got to make sure the president knows what's going to happen if we just pull out of there. Okay. People get killed. A lot of us, a lot of our troops and billions of dollars worth of. So they had a little plan and it was in Jeron Kane's pocket. So after all these guys said,

yes, sir, sounds like a great idea. Kane pipes up and says, Mr. President, we know that you want to get out as quickly as possible. There's another way of doing this. We're really less than these casualties and the loss of material. And actually I have a little, and the president says, "Oh, I like to hear about that." So he drags you out this pre-arranged little sketch and he said, "You know, this week we could hear that you know, just give us a couple of my wicks and we won't

suffer many casualties." What's your name, Kane? And he says, "Yeah, what's your first name?"

"Rason." You mean, like, "Rason that you eat?" No, I'm a fighter pilot. "Rason Kane!" Oh, man, did that impress Trump? Next thing, you know, Kane had a beautiful

“to be, you know, to honest here. At Andrew's Air Force Base appears with a maga hat on, you know?”

Talk about sealing your fate. He's promoted from a one star. It's that's point two with three star. He's taken out of the national guard into the regular Air Force, given another star. And all of a sudden, bending the rules, he becomes chairman of the Joyce Caesar's staff.

I always thought that was highly irregular and probably bad. But we have this example where he

stood up and said to the president, "Look, we could do better. We could do a better plan in this." So Tony agrees that this is a ray of hope that he knows by personal experience being there for a whole year with General Kane and seeing him face up with all these two stars or three subsides. Oh, outstanding idea. Way faced up to them. So I'm hopeful that he and the, and the military, the Admiral Hooron's send-com and his subordinate commands have to know how perilous this would

be if they landed troops or even if they continued to stay in war. So with the losses that were

“already accepted or suffered because of the bases, if you're ready to ask. I think Trump will”

help him puff and I'm in a minority here. I think he'll help him puff. But if he wants to go to China and if he hits the Russian warning, the Russian warning was very strong. It's about a fact Russian took the initiative and called him. That's rare. Usually when they talk Trump initiates the conversation and why for an hour and a half and the readout was very strong saying, "Look, we warned the president that his Russians won the president that this would be a very,

very bad idea, very dangerous, not only to Iran, but to its neighbors." Oh, by the way, we're a neighbor. That is a little hesitancy between us, but we're a neighbor. We worry about Iran. So that business puts the completely unacceptable phraseology persuades me that Trump is going to have

“to take this seriously. Just as he did, you may remember this, Jimmy. And I'm top of last year.”

Remember, as Aliski was coming and Trump was saying, "We're going to give him Tomahawk's

So what happens? Well, three days later, Putin calls Trump. He says, "Now, this is really not a

good idea. Really, really not a good idea." Tomahawk's and he hangs up two and a half hours that time, okay? And what happens? So let's he comes in next day, 17th October, and Trump says, "Sorry, but we really need those Tomahawk's all by ourselves." We're running short, so we're not going to get any Tomahawk's. Now, that's a precedent for what I hope is going to be going to obtain right now. Putin took the initiative one and a half hours this time, pretty tough, read out of what he said,

and then they were, you know, sweeteners, like, "Oh, we really admire Malania, your wife,

your good wife, who I said, does such good work at putting displaced children and so forth together."

And by the way, a way to go dodging that bullet, another bullet, and you know, so there were nice little things tucked in there. That's called diplomacy and diplomacy specifically targeted to a guy like, well, to a narcissist, like Trump. They have a pretty decent relationship. The last thing I'll say is that they said, "We did agree on Ukraine." We both, we all agree that the Europeans are the fly-in-the-ointment, and of course, Zelensky is the worst in

their supporting him. So you have the US and the Russians agreeing that Zelensky is the fly-in-the-ointment and the Europeans supporting him. So, you know, these are realities. We used to read this, because I used to read this stuff really carefully, and from the Soviet side and from the Russian side, I could discern these differences and make some sense out of them. Try to analyze or try

“to apply rules of logic to Trump is a fool's errand. That's why I thought that there would be this war.”

So, would you agree with the SISO of this on Twitter today? So, just going back to CNN's coverage of what Iran did at the start of the war? This is what it looked like all the United States bases. I don't know, you know, the goal of Iran to put their country right in the middle of all our military bases. But this is what looked like after they've wiped out most of it. That's pretty accurate. Would you agree or no? Well, yeah. That's what happened. And, you know,

the deal here, Jimmy, is that CNN reporting out of Israel has been great, right? No. Has the been any? No. Why? Because it's censored, okay? What's happening as a result of the hypersonic missiles that Iran has shot already into Israel? And what should Israel expect with the sort of the big supply of such missiles that Iran could use? I think the Russians and the Chinese are leaning hard on the Iranians. Look, don't obliterate

pardon the word Israel just now. They could resort to the Samsung option. They could say in dire straits that they could actually do it without even asking in the US. So, let's attempt this thing down. Save those missiles for a while. See if we could talk some sense into Trump because if Trump does finally lean on the Israelis, then there's some chance the Israelis, even in

“dire straits will not do the worst. That's what I think they're really concerned about,”

that Netanyahu would resort to using some of those nuclear weapons. Well, here's how bad of a beating the United States took militarily at the beginning of the war and the cost to our supply and to our bases. Present value and repair replacement costs based on 25-year outlies.

It's going to cost us $44-74 billion to fix the stuff that they blew up. This is one of

16 bomb bases that and Patriot losses not included. Plenty of unknowns in assumptions, Qatar infrastructure, but not runway that it's known. It's going to take $24-34 billion and five years to rebuild. Also, equipment, $20-40 billion, five to eight years to rebuild, classified NSA and our NROCA ground systems unknown. Total Qatar in USA 44-77 billion dollars and ten years to rebuild. Bottom line, guests emit a trillion dollars for all of those 16 bases

“and by the way, they ain't getting rebuilt. So that's how bad it was. And of course,”

headset and Trump and his administration did not want this publicized. They don't want people to know

cards. The cards are all held by Iran. Are they not? Yeah, they've got a straight. That's right.

They've got a straight and Trump's got a pair of juices. Yeah, so I don't want to play this for you. This is David Pine. He's the deputy executive director for the task force on national and homeland security. And here he's going to talk about the, because I see a lot of people on Twitter and a lot of people all everywhere who are supporting Trump in this war. They keep saying that Iran is done. They're out of missiles. They got nothing. We wiped them out. We Trump says we

wiped them out militarily. Well, listen to what David Pine has to say. Well, we've heard about 13 U.S. ahead of 19 U.S. military bases in the region have been destroyed or rendered unusable.

“I think that's likely accurate. So the cost three billed those would run into the several billion”

if not tens of billions of dollars. And that would take years to rebuild. How could that have happened?

I mean, you know, a lot of people now saying they have a new founder's back for general gain to have the one team's stuff. I mean, that's a 13 bases destroyed and rendered unusable. Aren't you shocked? I'm not shocked at all. I mean, those bases were located, you know, pretty close to Iran. Iran is as a tremendous, you know, it's essentially a missile regional power, even super power. They have a vast number of missiles, likely greater number of missiles

even than the United States as in terms of ballistic missiles and cruise missiles. And heavy combat drones, certainly the U.S. has a lot of light to medium, shorter range drones. We have superiority over Iran in that area. But, you know, they have some of the best combat, large combat drones

“in the world. And they were able to, you know, destroy some more bases using, using combat drones”

because the U.S. you know, drone defense capabilities are, you know, not what they should have been. And the U.S. prioritized the air missile defense for Israel rather than our goal allies. So we showed that the U.S. military guarantee over our goal allies was really, you know, very shot and not reliable. So do you agree with that statement that Israel that Iran has plenty of missiles left that they haven't used? And that it's a, it's a, we totally screwed up.

Yes. I mean, it's really pretty clear. The America people don't know this. I just hope Trump knows this because the Iranians have an inexhaustible supply of these missiles. They create them, they produce them themselves underneath mountains for God's sake. And, and so unless people come to their senses, the Iranians have the capability of sinking a carrier. I don't think they want to do that. And that would force Trump's hand. Now, the vessel

answer on expenditures, of course, is no problem. Well, borrow that from the Chinese. No more. And the dollar is going down. And gasoline is going up. And all kinds of things are breaking out. There are no more oil shipments to Europe for God's sake. There haven't been

“for five days. That's how long it takes for an oil shipment. So things are pretty bad.”

Whether Trump will wise up and say, well, this was a really good idea or not. I hope he does in time. But as I say, I've been really lousy in predicting what Trump can do. I think I know what the Russians are going to do if they're pushed beyond their patience.

So guess what China now is blocking in folks blocking statute for the first time. China's

Ministry of Commerce has for the first time activated its 2021 blocking rules, ordering all ordering all Chinese firms and individuals not to comply with the US sanctions targeting five independent Chinese oil refineries accused of purchasing Iranian crude. So our power to sanction people around the world is just about going the way now. Oh, cancel cultures ending from America to do cancel culture of people. Yes, because of this stupid

war, here we go. Beijing called the US measures imposed under two executive orders and unjustified an improper use of extra territorial law. The move puts multinational companies operating in both markets and direct legal conflict compliance with the US sanctions now risks violating Chinese law. And vice versa, global banks and firms with dollar exposure face secondary sanctions risk if they continue dealing with the affected refineries. Analyst described the order as a

significant step towards competing legal frameworks for global trade accelerating the path to potential economic decoupling between the two powers. China has blocked US sanctions against

Iran. China's Commerce Ministry said it had issued a prohibition order, stipulating that the

“sanctions shall not be recognized enforced or complied with calling the order a move to safeguard”

national sovereignty security and developmental interests. China is now powerful enough to declare

US sanctions null and void and openly declare that it won't comply with them. Well, the biggest economy in the world just gave the middle finger to US sanctions. The US is quickly finding out there is a new superpower this century and its measures of unilateral bullying no longer are powerful enough to contain China. The global order has changed. China is now rejecting all US sanctions on Iranian oil and says it won't comply. That's a direct refusal to follow the rules

that Washington built its power on sanctions work on force and obedience. And when major

economies stop recognizing them, that entire system disintegrates. Less compliance, less leverage,

less control, less power, less influence. That this is what a global shift actually looks like. The end of an empire and the beginning of something new. Bricks is rising and acting independently.

“Remember, that's Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. Is that what that is?”

While the US struggles to enforce the rules, it's once dictated without question. We now live in a world where an American sanction is not came over. This isn't the world many of us were born into. It's something quite different. And here's our no Bertrand. He says,

"What China just did with the blocking statutes against US extraterritorial sanctions sets

quite a major precedent, probably the financial equivalent of what happened with rare earth's last year in the sense that this is China taking a major step to push back against US hostile measure as opposed to taking it on the chin. It's a little complex, but to start with what many people ignore and will probably be surprised by is that by and large Chinese companies and financial

“institutions have largely complied with extraterritorial US sanctions? It's not surprising.”

What do we're trading with them? What triggered it is not new sanctions by the US, but recent efforts under the so-called Operation Economic Fury to dramatically ramp up enforcement of existing sanctions on Iran. The US notably issued at the end of April alerts to financial institutions worldwide including China on the sanctions risks associated with independent tea pot oil refineries in China, primarily in Shangdong Province, given their continued role in importing and refining Iranian crude oil.

Even more importantly, they also specifically went after Hengji Petrochemical Dilan, one of China's largest private refineries with 400,000 barrels per day capacity and a parent company, the Hengji group, that's a fortune global 500 company. In effect, what the US extraterritorial sanctions mean is that Hengji and all the other Chinese teapot oil refineries being targeted is cut off from the dollar system and any bank, insure or trading partner anywhere in the world

including in China that deals with them risks being cut off too, which is obviously a major hostile move by the United States against China and of course Iran. Except that China this time around is not having it. Since 2021, they've had regulations measures to prevent the improper extraterritorial application of foreign laws and measures that gives the Chinese government power to formally prohibit compliance with foreign sanctions and that since this April are also

extraterritorial in nature. In effect, what these regulations and their April a denim says is that if you comply with US extraterritorial sanctions by cutting off a Chinese company, you are violating Chinese law. Any entity, Chinese are foreign that refuses to deal with a sanctioned Chinese company because Washington told them to they can be sued in Chinese courts, find by mothcom and since April placed on a malicious entity list with asset freezes and trade

restrictions. Oh, that's new, that's fun. So in a nutshell, on one side, you have the US saying cut them off or we cut you off and now China says, well, if you do cut us off, we're going to be

theoretical. They've never actually been applied, but yesterday China's mothcom made it crystal clear

“of this time as different. They used a statement with a triple negative saying the US sanctions”

shall not be recognized, shall not be enforced and shall not be complied with. So in effect, you now have companies that are in the middle of this. For instance, financial institutions serving Hengli caught in quite a bind face US or Chinese hostility. It's a no win. They need to choose a camp on this. concretely speaking, given that the overwhelming majority of companies affected are operating inside China, they'll obviously choose the China side. The real question

therefore is is the United States ready to act on its threat and cut off Chinese banks or other

institutions that keep servicing these refineries because that probably means sanctioning major

Chinese financial institutions, which is a whole different level of escalation. The moment

“the United States designates a major Chinese bank for dealing with Hengli, this stops being”

about Iranian oil and becomes a direct financial confrontation between the two largest economies on Earth, which is a much bigger deal with probable consequences for the entire global financial system. Here's the last slide on this, or will the United States back off? Meaning China would have effectively called their bluff, showing that extraterritorial sanctions are a lot of bark, but not a lot of bite. We'll know in the next couple of weeks, I guess. One thing is sure, though,

whatever happens with these refineries, the broader damage is done, trying to use to extend

remarkable goodwill on sanctions compliance, voluntarily cooperating with extraterritorial sanctions inside its own borders, and though it had no legal obligation to respect them, that goodwill has been spent. And from a U.S. standpoint, a China with less goodwill via and vis-a-vis the U.S. financial hegemony is undoubtedly a far bigger issue than a few teapot refineries buying Iranian oil. So we talked about yesterday how Russia now says they're

going to be selling their oil in Chinese one, not U.S. dollars anymore, holy shit. And now we have China saying a few, and your U.S. back to reserve currency and your sanctions. So this red war could not be going worse for Donald Trump in the United States, more importantly, for the United States, because it's because we're not the reserve currency of the world anymore, which it seems is going away, our economy crashes. And that's thanks to Donald Trump and Israel

starting a war of choice for the greater Israel project. Gosh, I wonder if a kindly billionaire will suddenly unveil some new source of energy once that happens, Jimmy. And a new source of money, and a new thing based on how much energy you use in that your money in blah, blah, blah,

“but you're just going to go there. So that's what Curtis talking about is a central digital”

currency, a banking digital currency that has restrictions on how much energy you could use, how much gas you could use, how much natural gas you could, how much electricity you could use, and then they shut down your bank account if you reach your limit. That's what Curtis talking about. And that's coming. That's what they want to do. That's the hope that's the big point of central of CBDCs. That's the hope point. Yeah, the intentional destruction of America

by all your leaders, because that's been the goals to get rid of America as a power for quite some time. By people that are in here, these are all multinational corporations and oligarchs that don't give you shit about your dumb country from. They don't get it in their way. Yeah, and so now they've got to find a good way to demolish it. And by the way, fuck you. That's right. That's their message to you. Go fuck yourself. So this is Donald Trump citing

with the with Israel and thinking he's siding with the global billionaires, but as Curtis said, they don't care about you and they're going to screw you and you're getting your it's going to get away where if you're upset about inflation, which people are if you're upset about the rising gas prices, if you're upset about it's only getting worse unless Donald Trump immediately stops his mania of a war and sanctioning. I don't think he's going to because he's got now his presidency is

just about over believing they're going to impeach him because they're going to lose the midterms.

oh, he's gone. I think they're going to I think he's going to be the useful tool of Israel. Then they're going to bring in everyone's going to go we need a change and they're going to fall for it. Again, they're going to fall for like this person's not going to do the same exact thing. They've all John McCain does into every goddamn time. And then that person's going to finish what Israel wants.

“And that's how it works. And so Jim, how do we get out of this? Who do we vote for? You can't vote”

your way out of this? What has to happen is something like all the railroad workers not show up for work for a couple of days and shut that because that's the backbone of capitalism in America. And they have to have a demand and demand has to be you get all the money out of politics. We have publicly funded campaigns, which saves everybody trillions and trillions and trillions of dollars. And we had people say, oh, we can't afford publicly. We can't afford to have billionaires

completely financing our campaigns, which means they aren't we don't live in a democracy. You know, we live in an oligarchy. This isn't hard. And so this isn't hard. So what we need is for all the railroad workers not to show up, all the port workers not to show up for work and they have to have a demand.

Now the problem is the leaders of those unions are easily easily compromised. That's the problem.

And when Joe Biden came in and in the Democrats and they squashed the railroad strike that was about to happen a couple of years ago, they should have struck anyway. They didn't because they have

“weak leadership at their unions. So that's what we need to have a couple of union leaders”

willing to go to prison and become martyrs and then become the leaders of the country. That's what we need to have happened. We need to follow like, look, look, look, what this to handful of truckers did in Canada and that freak them out and shut down their country. That's what we need to do here. We need to have truckers. We need to have railroad workers. We need to have port workers. We need to have ammo off. But if all the Amazon workers and

UPS drivers didn't go to work one day, this is what we need. It's only going to get worse. All the, we need all the Indians pretending to be AI to not come into work also. So that's, that's what, that's where we're at and it's going to, it's only going to get worse. Wait to you feel squeeze a little bit. Then make up your mind. I mean, have the country after country right now, Kurt can't afford a $500 emergency.

That's the 80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck. Well, they didn't choose prosperity Jimmy and like Hamas, I consider them Hamas as for being poor myself. Now they, now they lost their health care subsidies. Now they can't, their kids can't afford

houses. They're a star, they're stuck with the, with the student debt that they can never get rid of.

It's a, we have had an oligarchy running this country that hates Americans. And it becomes a military. And so it's going to become even more evident to people.

“And hopefully that's the only thing that I'm telling you, that's the only thing. So when you hear”

people say general strike, this is a version of it. I don't think you'll ever get a general strike. But I think you can get railroad workers, you can get, but you need strong union leadership. And so it probably won't happen. But that's the only thing that could save us. It's not saying that's going to happen. I'm not saying it's easy to do. I'm saying it's the exact opposite. It's super hard to do. But we need people in the street to

shut it down and take control. And they have to have a demand. You know, you had these no kings rallies. There was no demand. You, the, the women's march, the no kings route. There's no demand. That's all performative. That's, that meant nothing. Absolutely nothing. So what you need is to have those kind of things that actually shut down cities. And you have to have a demand. And that demand has to be all money out of politics, public financing of, of, of elections. That's the only thing.

Will that happen? I don't think it will. But I'm telling you, that's the only way out of this. And if you have a better idea and how to get out, you're not going to vote your way out of this. We got one guy Thomas Massey and Kentucky was standing up to the APEC lobby and Marjorie Taylor Green quit. And that's it. You don't have a real country. Look, they don't have a real country.

I don't know what, we, there's no such thing as that. It's feudalism. It's always been feudalism.

It's what the oligarchy wants. Pretty soon, it's going to be AI governance. And you're going to subscribe to a government. The more money you have in nicer government. That's what they want. Yeah.
