12:06Now PlayingIn this segment, Jimmy says that the only way for Americans to regain control of their government and intelligence agencies is through a worker strike—railroad workers, port workers, UPS drivers, Amazon fulfillment workers, and grocery workers refusing to work for a week—to bring capitalism to its knees, but that union leaders must be willing to go to prison because these strikes will be criminalized. He contrasts this with "no kings" marches, which he says are “psyops" designed to funnel revolutionary energy back into the two-party system because they have no concrete demand—noting that when a giant protest lacks a demand, it is a setup.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson suggests that Russia's collapse in the 1990s and recovery under Putin offers a model for how societies can emerge from "totalitarian" systems, but warns that America must first pass through a "very dark time.” Jimmy concludes that those who voted for Biden or Harris have no moral superiority over Trump voters, pointing out that Democrats crushed a railroad strike, forced experimental medical treatments on workers, started a proxy war with a nuclear power, and funded a genocide—and that the only way to escape the oligarchy is for workers to rise up with a single demand: publicly funded elections.
