So if you were the antiwar person you should have voted for Trump and
the republicans, that's what this means.
If you're pro war you vote for Joe Biden and the democrats?
>> I was trying to save abortion that's why I'm voting for.
>> [LAUGH] >> Wow,
that laugh at the end seemed genuine.
That was Jimmy Dore endorsing Donald Trump as the anti war
option if he ends up running for reelection I guess.
Which is fascinating because I remember the Trump presidency rather clearly.
I remember his foreign policy rather clearly and
we'll get to Biden in just a minute.
But before we do, let's just refresh Jimmy Dore's short memory
span with who Donald Trump really was.
When it came to foreign policy during his first term in office.
>> The american military dropped the mother of all bombs literally
that's its name.
The bomb dropped today on an ISIS tunnel complex in Afghanistan is the most
powerful non nuclear explosion ever in warfare.
After the bombing, president trump suggested the weapons use.
It says a lot about his administration.
>> We have the greatest military in the world and they've done a job as usual.
So we have given them total authorization.
>> So if you were the antiwar person, you should have voted for Trump and
the republicans.
>> President trump is giving the CIA significantly more authority in carrying
out drone strikes.
>> The strike killing Soleimani was a major escalation in the Trump
administration's maximum pressure campaign on Iran.
Up until now that campaign largely relied on crippling economic sanctions.
So how do we get from economic pressure to military might.
>> Donald trump has wielded his power of veto this time to block a resolution.
Which aimed to end us military assistance to the Saudi coalition fighting
Iran backed rebels in Yemen.
>> So if you were the antiwar person you should have voted for Trump and
the republicans.
>> The president pulls me aside on at least a couple occasions and suggests.
That maybe we have the US military shoot missiles into Mexico.
>> Shoot missiles into Mexico for what?
>> He would say to to go after the cartels.
>> The anti war president, by the way that video that we put together.
Also didn't include the fact that the Trump administration attempted coups in
Venezuela on multiple occasions.
Luckily Trump and his administration was insanely incompetent and
they failed in doing those coups.
But that's who Donald Trump was.
I remember very clearly how terrible he was in foreign policy.
Just because he had rhetoric indicating that he wanted to pull troops or
withdraw troops.
Doesn't mean that he actually succeeded or really wanted those things.
In fact he has more negative marks on his foreign policy record than positive marks.
And we'll get to Biden in a minute but Jake, I don't know maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe Trump is the peace president that we all need.
>> Yeah. Remember when he said we're not only going
to kill the terrorists but we're gonna kill their families.
And by the way he followed through on that,
a significant rise in civilian deaths.
Under Donald Trump's bombings of foreign countries than even under Obama.
And Obama was pretty terrible at it.
So trump came in and started killing civilians at a much higher rate.
Bombing all over the world and Jimmy thinks that's the anti war candidate.
>> In fact the trump administration stopped reporting on the number
of civilian deaths that came as a result of the drone strikes, okay.
>> Now tell me that you become a right winger and
your entire audience is right wing.
And you get paid by the right wing without telling me that.
So trump is anti war.
Look you wanna criticize democratic party, there's plenty to criticize but
you also should be by the way correct on all the facts.
For example as we transition to Biden, who did get us out of Afghanistan?
Right, Biden did.
>> Okay, so what sparked that comment?
That expert commentary from the intelligent Jimmy Dore,
the fact that Biden has decided to deploy hundreds of troops to Somalia.
Which I think that's a totally fine thing to criticize him on.
I would criticize him on that.
But to ignore Trump's foreign policy and
make him out to be the peace president is unbelievably dishonest.
But he is speaking to a right wing audience.
And so I'm not surprised by it at all.
Now just to give you some details on what's going down in Somalia.
The US will reposition US forces in East Africa and
move to restore the US Military presence in Somalia.
In consultation with the Somali government.
The official told reporters on Monday.
The official also said under 500 troops will be sent back into the country but
declined to provide a precise number.
He emphasized however that the pentagon will not be restoring the full
contingent of operators present in Somalia.
Before the previous administration's withdrawal which was about 750
military personnel.
In early 2020 by the way Trump did withdraw the 750
military personnel from Somalia.
But again you can't just cherry pick what you like to make your argument.
You gotta take a step back and look at the individuals foreign policy as a whole.
And to cherry pick and
point to Somalia as an example of Trump being a peace president is insane.
By the way, going back to the reporting on what Biden is doing with Somalia.
They give a little bit of background in regard to Trump.
Trump's decision in December of 2020 to withdraw the US personnel from Somalia.
Was part of a broader effort in the waning days of his administration to pull back US
involvement in global conflicts.
Including Afghanistan and Iraq.
But the Biden administration believes that Al-Shabaab remains a notable priority.
Given the threat it poses and
that a persistent US presence there will be necessary to counter the group.
It's just more of this war on terrorism garbage.
And you know the more the US military intervenes or
gets involved in these conflicts.
The more we hear about new insurgent groups, new terrorist groups.
It's a never ending cycle.
So I don't believe the administration at all that they're like in there to root out
terrorism.
It never works.
It's a waste of time.
>> So we speak to a smart audience, so we tell you things
that are easy to comprehend if you've got a reasonable level of intelligence.
So you say for example Obama did drone strikes that were reprehensible
because it killed a lot of civilians.
In fact that he did drone strikes against american citizens.
They were extrajudicial killings.
We lost a lot of members paying members when we said that.
You know why we said because it was true and
no one in the mainstream media was saying.
Because they were protecting Obama,
they love Obama because of how establishment he is.
And we call that Eric holder for saying,
no we don't need a judicial permission if we target an American abroad.
That is an insane ideology and that is terrible.
It doesn't matter if it's a republican or a democrat doing it.
Okay so then trump gets in office and he's worse.
He does more drone strikes, kills more civilians, acts more extra judicially and
we gave you all those examples.
But there's tons more,
I mean that example of killing Soleimani that risk a massive war with Iran.
And by the way, you wanna know why he did it,
because Sheldon Adelson was his top donor and gave him over $100 million.
And he had a list of demands moved the capital of Israel by the way,
make sure that unions are not allowed to organize in his casinos.
Get rid of a corruption charge for the things he did in Macau, but
one of the list of demands will start a war with Iran.
And so Trump does his best by killing their top general to start and
provoke a war.
And then you go to Russia.
They asked him now, how about Russia was going?
I wouldn't have done it under my watch because it would have been so
tough on them.
Jimmy, what is so tough on that mean? He would have done the same things that
he's always talking about bombings.
The mother of all bombs and we're so tough and we're gonna do military and military.
Okay.
Maybe he wouldn't have done it to Russia again for
the same economic interest that he didn't do anything about Saudi Arabia.
He says, I like making money from Saudis.
I like money making money from Adelson and the Russians etcetera,
to call him anti war though is preposterously fake and false.
But that's what Jimmy does now, he's such a pathetic figure.
But if you think, but Jake and and maybe he's just an idiot and
he got it all mixed up and remember he doesn't read anything.
>> I mean look, he might be because he avoided Trump's stories like it was
the plague during the Trump administration.
All he did was focus on democrats and criticizing them, that's it.
>> It's not an accident.
He's sitting there trying to help the republican party in every single way while
pretending to be a progressive.
It's the oldest grift, Dave Rubin did this so long ago, Jimmy,
you're a re tread to unfunny.
So called comedians who always have the same like one trick pony,
that's that's all they are.
So just I wanna go to the last clip here.
This is where he talks about Ron DeSantis, just so you think,
he didn't just make an honest mistake about Trump.
Because he loves trump so much and he thinks he's so anti war.
Now watch him for late Ron DeSantis.
>> And so now look they give a right winger like DeSantis
who should be repulsive to people who are on the left.
Now they make him attractive and how are they doing it?
What's he says?
>> But clearly our entire principles that the country was founded on,
you cannot have a ministry of truth in this country.
And so let's get real here,
let's make sure that we're doing things to benefit Floridians and Americans.
But we're not gonna let Biden get away with this one.
So we'll be fighting back.
>> If you're for free speech and and civil rights and
liberties, who are you going to vote for?
This guy or Joe Biden?
Tough call though, isn't it?
>> So what he's referring to there, Ron DeSantis was in that
press conference being critical of Joe Biden and the DHS.
Rolling out a disinformation department, essentially,
which we were critical of as well on this show.
We think it's a bad idea.
But if you think Ron DeSantis is a free speech politician, you would be mistaken.
In fact, one of the latest moves that Ron DeSantis made.
Was to ban demonstrators from being able to demonstrate in residential areas.
To basically prevent protesters from protesting in front of the homes of
various people in positions of power.
Like politicians and judges and things like that.
Real free speech.
>> Okay.
He said they make Ron DeSantis look attractive.
No Jimmy.
It's not they, it's you who's trying to make Ron DeSantis look attractive.
If you leave out the part where he's now talking about
banning protesters on public sidewalks.
And you leave out the part where he's in favor of a law in Florida that says you're
not allowed to criticize Israel.
Otherwise you lose government contracts and
you paint him as a freedom of speech hero when he's the exact opposite.
You are trying to make him look attractive.
And there's a reason why you're doing that because now your main job is to fill
eight republicans all day long.
I hope you're having fun.
Guys there's nothing wrong with criticizing Biden or
Obama or the democrats.
We do it all day long.
But when you hide the problems of the republican party and
you falsely try to make them look great like heroes.
Like anti war heroes and freedom of speech heroes.
When you know for a fact that that's not true,
that's lying to your audience on purpose for money like a whore.
>> In fact one final thing I'll say about this.
Jimmy Dore argued that Biden is worse than Trump
because Biden's administration has a DHS.
That includes something now known as the disinformation board again were critical
of that as well.
But then he said that biden is worse because of that reason.
And compared Biden to Trump declaring or
wanting to declare martial law to squash protesters in front of the White House.
He thought that doing that, declaring martial law would have been far less.
It would be better than what Biden is doing now with the disinformation.
>> Martial law brings imperialism to America ,military rule.
Look I'd call him an idiot except he's not,
he's lying on purpose every single day.
He just told you to vote for Trump.
Trump said I don't care who won the goddamn election.
He's basically declared that he hates democracy and
that he would have put himself in charge.
Even though he knows for a fact he lost the election.
And he was considering doing military rule in America and Jimmy says, vote for him,
he's the one who is in favor of democracy.
He's the anti war, he's the one on the left.
Look, I don't know who I feel more sorry for,
the fact that he's reduced himself to this pathetic creature.
Who makes money off this grift or
his audience who believes obvious lies, for God's sake.
Look up a fact.
Okay, look up any facts.
He's obviously lying to you for
the eight people who think they're on the left that are still there.
98% of his audiences, right wing and they love it like, left winger, Jimmy Dore.
Left winger, Glenn Greenwald, left winger, Dave Rubin, they all agree with us.
[LAUGH] There's like Schmucks left like, the left is for
Donald Trump and Rhonda Santis, if you say so, you guys are.
