It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the up-minded, lily-livered lefties.
The kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say in charge of talking to TV again.
So sit back or sit up or keep driving.
Because it's the Jimmy Door show.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the show.
I am in studio, joined as always by Ben Zelovanski from Ben and Alex.tv and Paul Gilmartin from AskARepublican.com and the host of Dinner and a Movie on TPS.
And remember, he's not a real Republican.
And next to me is Robert Yasamura from Team Yasamura, Twittering at Team Yasamura.
Right?
Oh, yeah.
Okay, all right.
And so what's coming up on this?
Let me see your thumbs.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
There's been some Twitter.
He's been swelling.
Oh, my God.
Coming up on today's show, Sarah Palin came out and had some remarks about the shooting in Arizona, and it kind of rubbed people the wrong way.
So she went on Sean Hannity.
She went right back into the belly of the beast and faced that firing line from Sean Hannity.
And she said this.
I will continue to speak out.
They're not going to shut me up.
They're not going to shut you up or Rush or Mark Levin or Tea Party Patriots.
They can't make us sit down and shut up.
And if they ever were to succeed in doing that, then our republic will be destroyed.
She never made the destruction of the republic seem more appetizing.
Thank you very much.
And she did address blood libel.
I don't know how the heck they would know whether I did or didn't know the term blood libel.
I don't know.
Maybe it was because you misused it.
Okay, so we're going to investigate.
We're going to talk about her coming back on the Sean Hannity show.
She talked about the crosshairs.
We're going to go deep inside the interview.
Ben Zalivanski wanted me to talk about this.
You know, a Sarah Palin aide went on the Tammy Bruce show and said...
It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on the map.
Yeah, see, never, ever, ever.
And then Sarah Palin went on Sean Hannity and said...
Okay, so that kind of screws up their story.
We're going to get deep into that podcast.
And I just want to let you know how the Tammy Bruce podcast show, the Tammy Bruce podcast starts.
Welcome to the Tammy Bruce Show.
She's a chef with a gun and a microphone.
That's right.
That's right.
That was the show.
She went on to talk about the Arizona shooting.
Okay.
And it gets better from there.
David Frum was on, and David Frum is the man who coined the frame the axis of evil.
He was a speechwriter for George W. Bush, and he was a hundred hardball the other day, and he had a feeling about how the rhetoric is changing.
Well, I hope I'm not imagining this, but I do feel in the air a kind of gear shift that's taken place in the last week, and partly in response to this terrible tragedy in Tucson.
And I'm not a regular watcher of every episode of Glenn Beck, but my impression has been there's been a little bit more self-empowerment on that show recently and a little less paranoia.
Well, let's check.
Ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Others just make it for you.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so it seems like he has ratcheted down.
It went from just the paranoia, I think he ratcheted it down from all-encompassing to just overwhelming.
Yes, so that's great.
Couldn't tell, but was that the ambient sound of a bunker he was?
It certainly was.
Okay, so we're going to talk about that if we have time.
And the Republicans are repealing healthcare as we speak.
And the reason Louis Gomert says.
You need to understand how insidious this bill is.
This was written by smart people, hoping that there would only be a few things removed.
Yes, it is insidious.
Smart people do write some good bills.
Ricky Gervais got in trouble, and this was the kind of stuff he said at the Golden Club.
The next presenter is a true Hollywood icon.
In 10 of the biggest blockbusters of all time, he has shown his extraordinary acting versatility.
He has played a boxer and Rambo.
Please welcome Sylvester Stallone.
So it was that kind of stuff that's going to get you in hot water with the Golden Globes.
And we're going to talk to Jank Uger from The Young Turk stops by to talk about why his post at the Huffington Post got taken down.
That's right.
Oh, I know.
And Moron calls back in.
He bought Therese a couple of more things to help her make food.
That's coming up and a lot lot more on today's Jimmy Dore show.
But before we get to that, the president from China is in the country having a state dinner tonight.
So we're going to play a little bit we wrote when President Obama visited China a couple of months ago.
Say, buddy, I'm a correspondent with Fox News, and I'm here in China to get the scoop on Obama's visit.
Can you fill me in?
Why, certainly.
Yesterday, President Obama met with the President of China.
All right, President who?
Exactly.
Yes, he's the president.
Who's the president?
Certainly he is.
Who is?
Right, who's the president?
Look, just tell me, who is China's president?
Who is China's president?
That's what I'm asking you.
I don't know who.
Well, he's the president.
The vice president.
She was also there.
Who was there?
Yes, and so was she.
Who's the vice president?
No, she's the vice president.
Who's the president?
That's what I'm asking you.
All right, look, never mind that.
That was yesterday.
Today, Obama's meeting with China's prime minister.
When?
You just said today.
Right.
Today's when.
Yesterday was who?
I don't know who.
He's the president.
Who's the president?
Certainly.
Yesterday, Obama met with who, and today's when.
When he meets with who?
No, yesterday he met with who and she.
Who is she?
No, he isn't.
Who isn't?
Certainly he isn't.
Who is the president?
And she's the vice president.
And that was yesterday.
When?
That's today.
Who's today?
No, who was yesterday?
Why are you asking me?
That's what I'm asking you.
Now, look, look, our Fox viewers need to know.
Obama arrived here in China yesterday.
Now, who shook hands with him?
Certainly he did.
And so did she.
She did?
Certainly.
Who's she?
No, who's who?
She's she.
So she's a woman.
No, she's a man.
Who's a man?
Certainly he is.
And so is she.
She's a man?
Naturally.
Who is she?
No, who is who?
And she.
Don't say she's she.
But she is she.
Then who's who?
The president.
So when's the prime minister?
Exactly.
God, forget it.
I'm just going to make it up like we usually do.
I'm just going to make it up like we usually do.
Oh, special thanks to Benzelavansky and Alex Bloom.
For putting that together.
Oh, I was off the charts.
That's why I like to play it every couple of months, just to let people know.
Why not?
We have that in the vault, and that's going to go on the best of whatever we do.
But let's get down to business and talk about Sarah Palin.
Now, we all know the crosshairs controversy.
And there was a young lady.
Her name is Rebecca.
I'll get it.
I'll get it right.
Her name is Rebecca Mansour.
Rebecca Mansour.
She was an aide to Sarah Palin, worked at Sarah Pack and all that stuff.
And she went on the Tammy Bruce show and said this that it made our eyes bug out and all that stuff.
We never, ever, ever intended it to be gun sites.
It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on maps.
Well, it's a surveyor.
It's a surveyor symbol.
Yeah.
But then Sarah Palin came on, Sean Hannity, and said.
The graphic that was used was crosshairs, targeting the different districts.
And again, that's not original.
In fact, Democrats have been using it for years.
We never, ever, ever intended it to be gun sites.
Okay, so I don't.
So that happened.
I want to get deeper into that radio show.
Well, they never intended it to be gun sites.
It just, it just was.
It just was.
So now that's not going to get picked up by anybody.
That won't, if now, the reason, if that happened on the left, let's say that anybody, pick Barack Obama's aide, lied like that on somebody's podcast.
That would be played nonstop over and over.
It would show up on Katie Couric, Brian Williams, Diane Sawyer, Anderson Cooper.
It would be played non-stop.
And the reason why is because I told everybody last week that 90% of talk radio in America is conservative.
And that's why they never want to ever have the fairness doctrine back.
And that's why when they say the left is just as equally to blame as the right, it's why it's just statistically not.
It couldn't possibly be when the overwhelming talk on the radio is conservative.
Okay.
Well, I also think that people on the right has a much bigger payroll of people listening for this stuff, like doing opposition research, which is a big part of the reason why they was.
They're more motivated than the left.
Yeah, like who's going to who on the left is going to sit and listen to all these crackpot radio shows and podcasts looking for something like that?
You mean besides me?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Besides me, I don't know besides me.
I'm sure Jon Stewart's got a couple of guys, but he would deny that he's a liberal.
It is interesting to see how he is grouped by conservatives as a liberal, and he tries to pretend he's not part of it.
And boy, that's a tough.
I liked how Sarah Palin said, they're not going to shut me up.
The only thing you can really do to shut her up is give her the responsibility of running a state.
Paul Gilmartin, ladies and gentlemen, dinner in a movie.
That's the kind of stuff you're going to hear.
Yeah, tune in.
He's going to serve you.
In between cook and chicken.
That's right.
That's a hot play to shut up.
And so let's get to.
So before we go into the depths of the Tammy Bruce podcast, let's go ahead and play with Sarah Palin we're just referring to.
She said.
I will continue to speak out.
They're not going to shut me up.
They're not going to shut you up.
No, I think she confuses people wishing she would shut up, actually trying to shut her up.
Does it really count as news that Sarah Palin won't shut up?
Right.
No one blamed her for that.
No one blamed her for the shooting of Jared.
People said she was responsible for that.
Oh, that's not true.
There's lots of people that put the responsibility of that on her shoulders.
I think people were saying that she was responsible for irresponsible rhetoric.
I don't think anyone will.
Yeah, the stronghold that she's fighting is that I didn't call him up and tell him to shoot those people.
Yeah, no one said that.
Nobody ever said that.
Nobody ever said that.
But what people are saying is that she, from what I've heard, I've heard no one, even Paul Krugman and Cenk Uygur, said that she's not directly responsible for this.
But she is irresponsible in her rhetoric.
She uses gun metaphors all the time.
The irony is if she had been shooting the gun, nobody would have gotten hurt.
If you watched her show, she's like the worst shot in Alaska.
I did not see her.
I didn't want to see her shoot anything.
Okay, you wouldn't.
She lost stuff.
She was a lot of a lot of shooting high over things.
That's the episode I saw.
I actually suspect she could have shot it, but she chose not to for camera.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
That was going to be the title of my last special was going to be called Shooting High.
Anyway.
But let's remember how they used to talk about guns before this shooting.
This is how they used to talk about people being afraid of right-wing rhetoric being tied to violence.
Are we really still debating health care when a man brings a handgun to a church where the president is speaking?
Are we really still debating health care?
When a man brings a handgun to a church where the president is speaking?
Yes.
Yes, we are, Katie.
So that was from the Glenn Beck show.
That was how he used to talk about.
I would agree with him.
So why because somebody is bringing a handgun to the president speaking, why does that negate talking about health care?
Because they're not bringing the handgun because of their opinion about health care.
Right.
Handgun has nothing to do with healthcare.
Right.
They're bringing a handgun to intimidate people because they're upset that they lost the election.
And so they're trying to intimidate and scare people, just why there was 12 congresspeople's windows that were shot out the day after they passed health care.
Same kind of this, that kind of intimidation.
And, you know, there's a parallel to this in history.
The Weimar Republic, you know, when the Nazis took over, it was the same kind of thing.
They just, it was, you, you undermine and you delegitimize the other side.
And if they don't get on it and fight back, they're going to, and they lost to the Nazis, and that's what happened.
So they're going to set the Capitol on fire?
Like they.
And then blame it on the Jews.
And then blame it on the communists and the blood libel.
And so that's how they...
That had nothing to do with the situation.
Are you really still complaining about the Second Amendment?
The guy just had a legal handgun.
And it's happened a couple of times now.
And all the humanity, a gun!
Someone had a gun.
Let's listen.
It happened a couple of times already.
That people are bringing guns to healthcare debates.
Why would you do it?
Chris Matthews had a guy on who brought a gun, and he kept asking him, why would you do that?
And he kept saying, because it's my right.
And he goes, yeah, I know it's your right, but why would you do that?
And there's no answer to why you would do that.
The only reason why you bring a gun is because you want to intimidate people.
You want to scare people.
There's no other...
Yeah, you're really afraid somebody, another guy like you is going to show up.
Is that what you're afraid of?
That's such a teenager response.
Why did you get a mohawk?
Because it's my right.
That's fine.
You're 16.
You're not a grown man.
Okay, so let's go to this.
So Palin did address the blood libel thing.
Okay, so here's what she had to say about the blood libel.
I don't know how the heck they would know whether I did or didn't know the term blood libel.
Okay, again, it's because you misused it.
She goes, nobody's ever asked me.
She said, nobody's ever asked me.
How are they supposed to ask you?
You never go on any show.
You don't let anybody get near you.
You put a fence up around you.
You're living an igloo up and allow.
Are you kidding me?
Nobody on Hannity ever asked me about this.
Yeah, Sean.
How would they know?
So if no one's ever asked you, well, your dream has come, your dream has come true because it's time to play.
Hey, do you know that thing your speechwriter told you to say on the Facebook posting?
Well, let's find out.
It was blood libel.
Take all the time you need.
What does it really mean, Sarah Palin?
Take all the time you need.
Keep taking time.
Blood libel, obviously, means being falsely accused of having blood on your hands.
And in this case, that's exactly what was going on.
Is that the truth?
Let's go to the judges on this one.
Is that what it means?
Nope, not even.
We asked you, and she didn't know.
That's not what blood libel means.
Blood libel means, that's not what it means.
That you have blood on your hands.
No, no, blood libel was when they would accuse Jews of killing young Christian kids and then using their blood and torturing them and then killing them and using their blood in ceremonies, religious ceremonies.
That's what a blood libel is.
And that's why it was extra gross that you said it, because the congresswoman is Jewish.
And, you know, if she really thought, really believed that it just meant, well, blood on your hands, that's a much more common expression to use than blood libel.
Blood libel.
And I guess that it just so happened that she picked an expression that has to do with persecution of Christians.
It's just a random accident that she would have picked that phrase.
Well, it is, I realize.
Because what it was used to, it was used actually to just blood libel was used to justify the killing of Jews.
So you go all these Jews.
By saying that Jews are persecuting Christians, they're victimizing Christians.
Yes.
Because as we all know, really, the most threatened minority in this country is the Christians.
Paul, go ahead.
I was just going to be honest and say I would have made the same mistake that she made.
Really?
Yeah.
Not knowing what blood libel was.
Yeah, but would you have chosen it for a speech, not knowing?
I mean, it's a very specific term.
No, but if somebody said, what does blood libel mean?
Oh, my answer would have been very close to hers.
Me too.
But the thing is, is I didn't choose to say it in a public forum responding to the shooting of a sitting U.S. Congresswoman.
And I wouldn't when people, if I would have first used it in a speech and then people accused me of not knowing what it meant, and then I gave the wrong definition, I wouldn't do it with my chest puffed up.
You know what I mean?
And my chin out.
That's right.
Obviously, a blood libel is this thing that I've had wrong.
That has become such a Republican thing since the Orang-Contra affair of like, I didn't know.
And Americans sit there going, oh, okay, we'll let you off the hook.
Like, no, the fact that they didn't know is as much of an indictment as anything else.
Like, if Reagan didn't know about Iran-Contra, that's.
I was incompetent.
That's your defense.
I was incompetent.
You just didn't know what he was doing, the president.
Well, that's what they, you know, that's been their excuse for everything.
You know, they, hey, we didn't see the economic thing come.
We didn't see 9-11.
Who could have predicted 9-11 that this would be right on the heels of massive deregulation?
Right, right.
Nobody predicted it.
Yes.
Except the people from Wall Street that were asking for it and then hedged against it.
Nobody could have predicted 9-11 except for all of our intelligence.
Yeah, which has been pointed out on this show numerous times that it was predicted by many people, including the CIA.
And now what it's turned into is not only did we not know, but we're not going to correct it.
We're going to dig in deeper because that's what she's doing here.
She says, I didn't know that my rhetoric, which includes tons of guns and violence, that is how she talks.
I didn't know it would incite a crazy person to do something violent.
Okay, which, by the way, any sane person would have known.
But, okay, let's take her at her word.
She didn't know that.
But she says, and I will not correct the behavior.
I absolutely will not.
She's like, this will not shut me up.
I had no idea finding a look-alike for that liberal, putting antlers on them and having them drink by a stream to the sound of gunshots would wind up inciting someone to be in my life.
I'm going to go into the Tammy Bruce show now.
She had her interview with Rebecca Mansour is her name.
And Ben and Kerb.
That's a bad last name.
Man.
Mansor.
I know.
Mansor.
Yeah, it sounds like a job and not a pleasant one.
I think we've all been mansoor a little bit, aren't we?
Sure.
Can we get the mansoor in on this?
Yeah.
Because it's a little achy.
So she went on the Tammy Bruce show, and that's when she said never, ever.
So let me just play a little bit of that, and we'll start.
I love how, here we go.
It's basically, we never, ever, ever intended it to be gun sites.
It was simply crosshairs like you'd see on YouTube.
Never stop three evers.
You know, we'll forgive you.
We didn't really intend it.
We'll maybe give you a pass, but ever, ever, ever.
Well, it is plausible that the people in the Sarah Palin campaign would not be familiar with the crosshairs.
Where would they have ever seen crosshairs?
Well, it's a surveyor.
It's a surveyor symbol.
Surveyor symbol.
Yeah.
And no, but I just want to say that.
Because the campaign's not run by gun lovers.
It's run by surveyors.
This graphic was done, you know, it was done not even in-house.
We had a professional who does political, you know, a political graphics artist who, you know, consultants do this for us.
And then, of course, you never saw it coming, right?
He snuck it onto our website.
Yeah, that's fine.
That's great.
And we had, we go, yeah, it's fine.
It's great.
That's what you just said.
I never even imagined or occurred to us that anybody would interpret it as violence because it's not.
And you know what?
And I'm seeing people, and it's really sad.
People actually accuse Governor Palin of this.
That's just, it's appalling.
It's insane.
It's just appalling and insane.
Yes.
It's appalling.
Gets better.
I just, I have no way.
I cannot even express how disgusting that is.
Well, you know, we learn about people, don't we?
Rebecca Mansour, we learn every day.
We learn about people, and more than anything else, we learn about ourselves and how we handle certain dynamics.
And Rebecca learned that when given a tough spot, she'll completely lie over and over and use emphasis ever, ever, ever, ever.
She's like the homophobe that beats on the gay guy and it gives him a boner.
Yes, that's it.
So we learned something.
How ironic.
She goes, well, we learned something about ourselves, didn't we?
And well, here it picks up a little.
I want to thank you, Rebecca, and certainly Governor Palin for remaining examples and Governor Palin's team of what is right and remaining steady and reminding people of a Christian, decent response to this.
And that's what I'm saying.
Which is to lie repeatedly over and over, take no responsibility and blame it off on everybody else.
Express no sympathy for the victims.
None at all.
And go on a show to talk about it that starts off by saying, she's got a gun and a microphone.
Okay, so she really ramps up.
They're really sick of the left pointing out what they've been doing.
And she really goes on a round.
Kind of putrid, putrid, bizarre sickness of blaming people politically.
You know, many of us who are in our 40s have seen a hell of a lot.
And even a lot of people.
Not much of it has sunk in.
Was surprised by the reaction of the left.
And certainly.
She's seen a lot.
You know, like when a lame duck session of Congress impeached the president over oral sex.
Remember that?
Oh, but this is unbelievable.
Of the decent people that are out there, Sarah Palin is among them.
This rankly, disgusting finger pointing, which infects then everybody's environment.
So just for the record, finger pointing, bad, gun pointing, no problem.
Well done, Benzo.
And the main issue was with getting so many emails and such with people concerned about the governor and wondering, you know, how to handle these things.
Look, really, truly, the best advice is, in many ways, ignore it.
Sounds like what she's doing.
Yeah.
Is she referring to Palin when she says the governor?
Yes.
Really?
Yeah.
Two years.
You don't have to have a.
If you quit the job, you're still the governor.
I guess so.
I think we should maybe start calling her GovPalin.
Do you think people half the word?
You think people refer to Spiro Agner as vice president?
Yeah.
Maybe.
He's dead, probably.
These people now are finding the absurdity of this dynamic.
And I think, just like many other situations, as this kind of disgusting finger pointing about who's responsible when we already know that it's, you know, a nut who's been apparently a nut for years.
I don't know.
Yeah.
There's a nut responsible here.
More than one.
There definitely is.
There's definitely a nut responsible.
Okay, what happened to my thing?
So we're agreed that they didn't cause the shooting, but they're guilty of not owning up to the irresponsibility of putting crosshairs on people's faces.
Right.
And there is a lot of violence that can be directly connected, in fact.
Like that guy who went to shoot up the Tide Foundation, Dr. Tiller.
And there's many more examples.
Jenk is going to talk about it in the second half of the show when he, because he wrote a post that kind of detailed all that stuff, and they took it down from Huffington Post.
Because God forbid we have, you know, all opinions represented somewhere.
There's some opinions we're afraid of.
Why?
Because we're liberals.
I'm glad that Sarah Palin won't be silenced, but Jenk Uger will.
But Jenk Uger will be, yes.
Considering some of the stuff we've been seeing.
To know who it is, to know that it, frankly, I think it could have been anybody on that corner, any congressional representative, that it has nothing to do with the political dynamic in this country.
That a normal, nonviolent political frame.
We just went through a massive transition of power in Washington that the world still is trying to copy.
We've been still really the only ones who've been able to do it successfully for a quarter of a millennium.
Peaceful transfers of power.
Unless you lived in Latin America or the Middle East.
But she's talking about America.
Yeah.
So I got it.
So she's going, you know, we're setting the example.
We're peaceful here.
Does the left get any credit for that?
That they transferred, they just gave you power.
So they could, let's see if they get any credit for it.
And for those pointing fingers, the sickness, when we talk about the sickness of the left, use this as another example.
And for those of you who are classical liberals who've been hanging on by a thread, wondering what to do, this should be another example of how all of us can make our lives better by getting away from that and rejecting it.
That is it for this special podcast interview with Rebecca Mansoor.
Not speaking on behalf of Sarah Pack, but she does work for them and speaking personally because she is one of the more public people on Twitter and otherwise who is attached to the governor with some of the most just inexplicable bizarre accusations that make no sense at all.
Okay, let's go.
You know what?
It's just a bomb.
I put them all together and let's see how they sound.
Bizarre.
It's just inexplicable.
The sickness.
Rankly.
Disgusting.
I cannot even express how disgusting that is.
It's just obscene.
Disgusting finger-pointing.
Ugliness.
Shame.
Sickness.
Just stunning and shameful.
Putrid.
Putrid.
Really?
Well, you know, we learn about people, don't we?
It's insane.
If we're going to still call Sarah Palin governor, I think that we should address Martin Sheen as Mr. President.
I'm cool.
I'm cool.
It will be right.
You listen to the Jimmy Dorse show on Pacifica.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
*music*
Okay, welcome back to the Jimmy Dorse show.
I am in studio with Ben Zelavanski.
Yes.
Yes.
And I'm President Paul Gilmartin.
Yes.
And Robert Yasimura coming up on the second half of the show.
We're going to hear from Jim Hightower.
My interview with Jenk Euchre from the Young Turks talks about why his blog was taken down from the Huffington Post.
It was a little too risque for the Huffington Post.
And also, Moron calls in to let us know how he feels about the shooting and what he bought for Therese this week.
And then that's it.
Not nothing else.
That's how I say it.
That's what's coming up.
Right now, let's hear it from...
I'm going to be at GoBananas this week.
That's right, January 20th and 24th.
Go Bananas, where I always like to record my CDs, and I will be recording another one this weekend.
So Go Bananas in Cincinnati.
Go to gobananas.com.
Right now, Jim Hightower is going to let us know there's lots of American jobs.
They're just not in America.
By gollies, America is still an exporting powerhouse.
In fact, our corporate chieftains have made us number one in exporting America's most precious goods, our jobs, factories, technologies, and middle-class opportunities.
With unemployment and underemployment devastating millions of families in our country, perhaps you've assumed that U.S. corporations aren't hiring these days.
Nonsense.
They added 1.4 million jobs last year alone, overseas.
For example, more than half of Caterpillar's new hires in 2010 were in foreign countries.
Many more of this giant's jobs are headed offshore in the near future for Caterpillar, which was once an iconic American brand, has recently invested in three new plants in China.
It'll not only manufacture tractors and bulldozers there, but it'll also begin to ship its design work and technology development jobs to China.
Likewise, DuPont, once proud of its U.S. workforce, has slashed its number of American employees in recent years while increasing its Asia-Pacific workforce by more than half.
Indeed, DuPont no longer considers itself American.
We're a global player, sniffs its chief innovation officer.
Such homemade brands as Coca-Cola, Dell, and IBM are also among the multitude of corporations abandoning our shores and our middle class.
Of course, they still keep their well-appointed headquarters here so the corporation and top executives can continue enjoying all that America has to offer.
Calvin Coolidge once asserted that what's good for business is good for America.
That was my opic enough, but today's narcissistic CEOs are even more self-serving, declaring that what's good for business is good for business.
America be damned.
This is Jim Haitar saying, if we're to have a united society, America cannot tolerate such raw selfishness by the privileged few.
We can have a plutocracy or a democracy, but not both.
Listening to him is like the sad episode of New Heart.
It really is.
You know what?
But I do like to be bummed out in a folksy voice.
We should do every time he bumps us out, we do a shot.
Yeah.
How about that?
Okay, now, as promised, Jenk Euchre sat down with me early this morning, actually.
I had to get out of bed to do this.
And so here we are.
All right, I'm speaking with the one and the only, the host of the Young Turks online, and you've seen his face all over MSNBC.
He often fills in for my favorite show, Dylan the Dylan Radigan Show on MSNBC.
He's with us right now.
Jenk Uger is here.
Hi, Jenk.
How are you?
Great, Jimmy.
How are you doing?
All right.
Well, we've been talking this week about the Jared Lofner shooting and if it should be connected to the right-wing talking heads and all the vitriol.
Now, you wrote a blog on the Huffington Post where you often post a lot of blogs, and they took it down.
And can you tell me what was so controversial in your blog that made them take it down?
Not a damn thing.
Okay, well, thanks for calling it.
Talk to you later, buddy.
All right.
Well, they claim that it was controversial to say that the atmosphere of violence created by right-wing talk show hosts might have contributed to the Lofner and other shootings.
And as to how it did.
For example, you had the guy in Tennessee who shot up the church because it was liberal.
He had books by Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly.
You had Byron Williams who went and shot or tried to shoot everybody at the Tides Foundation, but got in a shootout with the cops instead.
He said he was inspired by Glenn Beck.
And the list goes on and on.
There are dozens of examples.
And Lofner was into right-wing ideology called the sovereign citizens movement, I believe.
That's what it certainly looks like.
Mother Jones had a terrific article on that.
He's obviously anti-government.
And I'm not saying we ban their speech.
I'm not, you know, there's absurd arguments like that.
I'm not saying any of that.
I'm just saying, hey, they should be a little bit more responsible when Glenn Beck, for example, says that he wants to choke the life out of Michael Moore.
That's borderline illegal.
So I think making that connection is perfectly valid and non-controversial in the extreme.
And furthermore, now almost everyone agrees with me.
But back then, when I was the first one to say it, apparently that was a little too controversial for Hoving and Boston.
And so they have, now you just, you put a lot of stuff in there.
Let me just back up.
Now, the Tides Foundation, that guy who was going to shoot it up, he said he directly became aware of it because of Glenn Beck.
Was that true?
Absolutely.
Two separate interviews.
He says, now, look, every once in a while, Glenn will tell us not to do violence, but he took that as a nod and a wink, like that he actually wanted him to do the violence.
And he said, look, it keeps telling us to take matters into our own hands.
So I did.
Loaded up the car with a long gun, I believe, and a handgun, and then fired about 200 bullets at the cops when they pulled him over.
And I think he even had some body armor on, didn't he?
Yeah, he did.
That's why he survived.
Okay, so now you wrote about this kind of stuff, and you made these kind of connections.
And I read your blog, and you weren't saying that these guys, they're directly responsible.
You were saying this is irresponsible rhetoric.
This has been happening before.
There has been direct causal relationships in the past.
You know, how it doesn't even get brought up, Jenk, is what blows my mind.
That, you know, when I watch Brian Williams or Katie Couric, and they don't even mention Dr. Tiller, they don't even mention the Tides Foundation guy.
They don't even mention that stuff.
And if people could just remember what they did to Shirley Sherrod and what they did to the Acorn, I mean, that is what's happening constantly on the right wing.
And what people don't realize is that they'll always, Jenk, you probably share my disdain for the false equivalency of when people say, well, you know, people on the left use a lot of vitriol too.
Well, the difference is that 90% of all talk radio is conservative right-wing talk.
And that's why it's not equal.
Right, Jimmy.
I mean, so there's a lot of factors there, right?
Why do they go for this false neutrality?
One, they're scared to death that they're going to be called liberals.
They've been called liberals for 30 years, even though there are no such thing.
And so they are enormously hesitant of ever bringing their audience the truth, no matter which side it lies on.
If the Democrats are more guilty of something, which happens quite often, you should call that out too.
But they can't.
They can't call anything out.
They're so paralyzed by this idea that they have to be neutral.
It's as, you know, I bring up this analogy often about sports.
It says the sports reporters had to be neutral.
And they say, okay, the Lakers want to, you know, by 55 points against the Cavaliers, but they can't report that.
Instead, they have to report the Cavaliers and the Lakers both played a great game.
It makes no sense, but it makes sense in this twisted political world.
And obviously, look, another part of it is a lot of these organizations are corporate entities, and they don't want political controversy because if the Republicans get in charge, there usually is consequences, right?
And it might be some things we see and some things we don't see, and it's not a conspiracy.
It's just simply they think, all right, well, those guys weren't on our side, so when it comes time to hand out contracts, well, we're going to hand out the contracts with other guys and not those guys.
I mean, this is politics, right?
And this is among the many reasons why they are everything even, no matter what the reality is.
That's a clear example in this case.
Because I'm not saying, for example, that the right-wing talk show hosts and left-wing talk shows should never use imagery that reminds people of violence or war, et cetera, or shootings even.
I mean, some people might say that.
I'm not saying it.
Because, look, people talk about going to war, destroying the other side.
That kind of hyperbole happens all the time.
That's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about very specifically when, for example, Rush Limbaugh says, don't kill all the liberals.
Leave two behind on every college campus.
Meaning, kill almost all of them.
When Ann Coulter says we should kill John Walker Lind, who was captured in Afghanistan, to set an example to the liberals that they could be next so we can intimidate them.
All I'm asking is something very, very simple.
Stop telling people to kill people with Guns or otherwise.
And the left almost never does that.
To call that even is absurd.
Well, that's the, they'll always pull.
And even when I'm watching MSNBC, I was watching Chris Matthews, and he had some people on, some lefties on, and they have, I swear to God, the example they gave, he says, you know what, it happens on the left, too, where a lot of environmentalists look at Ted Kaczynski as a hero.
As if Ted Kaczynski.
I swear to God, it happened on Chris Matthews' show.
And I was like, yeah, that's right.
You know how Rush Limbaugh and Ted Kaczynski are equal.
You know how Sean Hannity and Glenn Bill.
Go ahead.
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
There's just this enormous effort to whitewash this now.
And, you know, now progressives are largely in my camp where they say, well, obviously there's a difference between the two different sides.
And obviously, if you keep egging people on, it might have consequences.
Let me just give you a quick example of that.
Now you see there's a rash of people setting themselves on fire in North Africa, right?
Now, why are they doing that?
Because they saw the example of the guy in Tunisia.
He did it.
It worked in the sense of creating a revolution in Tunisia and deposing the leader, etc.
They saw his example and they copied it, right?
Now, here in America, nobody lights themselves on fire because the example they're given is go grab your guns and do something about it.
And it happens in dozens of cases and in every, nearly every single case.
I say nearly just to cover myself, but I think it's actually literally in every single case.
It's been a right-winger taking a gun and shooting at either liberals, Democrats, or the government.
To call the unabomber liberal is absurd.
Now they're calling Lofner.
I saw Palin.
I saw so many others calling him a liberal, which is insanity.
They shot a Democrat in the head.
And because I know that's, but they, and they call him a pothead, too, which I guess, I don't know if you know this, but Republicans and conservatives never smoke pot, apparently.
Yeah.
I love the excuses they use.
Well, he's an atheist, or he smokes pot, or there was a book by Karl Marx, so he must be a liberal.
Ignore where he writes, I believe in these crazy gold conspiracies.
I believe in this sovereign movement.
I hate the government.
I hate this Democrat.
And I plan to do a political assassination of him or her, I should say.
Now we got the whitewashing of the media, where I've seen dozens of examples where they claim the Associated Press just wrote one yesterday where this was not a political shooting.
Are you kidding me?
He shot a politician in the head and called it an assassination.
I mean, that's, but you know what, Jimmy, this all does me a great service because that allows the Young Turks to become the largest online news show in the world and to get 23 million views a month because the other people, the other media, just will not deliver the truth to you.
They just won't.
And so, great, we do.
We get the audience.
And you do deliver it, and that's why I think everybody, including myself, is a fan of your show.
And, you know, we just heard Comcast is buying NBC.
You know, you brought up your shows online and how popular it is online.
And do you see any effects?
My knee-jerk reaction is to be afraid of this.
But do you think that the internet kind of, as they say, levels the playing field, and that's why we can allow all these big, huge mergers?
Well, it levels the playing field, of course, until they capture the internet.
Right.
And that's part of the concern here.
Look, I disagree with Comcast's position on net neutrality.
That's well known.
And I hope to God they don't win on that issue, although Barack Obama and his administration has already conceded, which is their favorite hobby.
And I'm very, very concerned about that.
As far as the merger is concerned and NBC, that's a different issue.
And honestly, I don't have a great opinion on it.
It's not that I'm shying away from it.
Oh, you know, I'll give you one take on it.
And it's not pro in that sense.
The FCC says, well, don't worry, we've got some restrictions here on Comcast and NBC until you read that they are voluntary and expire in a couple of years.
Come on.
Come on, right?
But outside of that, I have no idea if it's going to turn out to be better or worse for NBC, better or worse for the American people.
That's really hard to tell.
I can't see any way it would be better.
I can see lots of ways it would be worse.
Think about this, Jimmy.
One quick thing on it.
That's a little pro merger, right?
Okay.
And take this with a grain of salt.
I'll announce my bias.
Obviously, I work at MSNBC at this point, right?
But they were owned by GE.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
I know.
I'm talking about corporate influence, et cetera, dealings with the government.
GE had it all.
So now it goes to Comcast.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess maybe it is a little better.
GE's a defense contractor and a bank that got TARP funds.
So yeah, the fact that any truth kind of seeps out of that place is pretty remarkable.
I mean, before I let you go, let me ask you, why do you think my theory, people on my show know my theories about why General Electric allows MSNBC to happen?
What are your theories?
On why MSNBC is allowed to exist.
Yes.
And they've created this bastion of truth-telling and et cetera on cable news, which previously seemed unimaginable.
Yes.
Well, honestly, I have a pretty good sense of how it happened.
And I think it happened organically.
Oberman just simply couldn't take it anymore.
And he did his special comment on it.
This is pretty well documented.
You have to give him and his producers a world of credit and management for allowing it on air, you know, which at the time was risky.
And it worked, you know, and it got great ratings.
And then he did it again.
And then the show got great ratings.
And, you know, management understands numbers.
And so if you get great ratings and you bring in more revenue, well, all of a sudden, you're in the ballgame.
Right.
And still, and then until what they're saying on MSNBC starts to hurt their corporate bottom line, they'll let them keep saying it.
But as soon as it does, right?
Well, let's see.
All right.
This is my guest, Jenk Uger from the Young Turks Online.
You can check him out there.
You can hear him on Sirius.
You'll catch him on MSNBC.
Jenkins, thanks very much for being our guest.
Thank you, Jimmy.
Really appreciate it.
Okay, buddy.
Hey, I'll talk to you later, pal.
All right.
Thanks very much.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Okay, big thanks to Jenk Uger for taking time out to talk to us on the Jimmy Door show.
And you can always check out Jenk at theyoungturks.com.
And he's frequently on MSNBC.
Oh, yeah.
Sure, sure.
He's always hosting for Dylan Radigan.
The show.
It's amazing what he can, they'll let Dylan Radigan say on MSNBC, like the truth, you know, because, well, now it's owned by Comcast, but MSNBC used to be owned by General Electric, which is a defense contractor and one of the biggest banks in America.
So they also bring good things to life.
They sure do.
It evens out.
And they take TARP funds.
So bringing good things to life through TARP funds.
Wouldn't it be great just if For Symmetry Comcast started making nuclear triggers too?
They can't even make a DVR that works.
I wanted to...
They make a bomb that actually says it's going to be there at a certain time and then shows up a week later.
Paul Gilmart, ladies and gentlemen.
We get the Comcast.
That is some good joke, right?
okay.
So before we get to the Ricky Gervais and talking about, because we had a little couple extra minutes and we're going to talk about that.
Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes.
What did I want to just remind people of that?
Oh, what David Frum said at the beginning of the show is that he felt there was a change in the rhetoric.
Well, I hope I'm not imagining this, but I do feel in the air a kind of gear shift that's taken place in the last week, and partly in response to this terrible tragedy in Tucson.
And I'm not a regular watcher of every episode of Glenn Beck, but my impression has been there's been a little bit more self-empowerment on that show recently and a little less paranoia.
Okay, so this is from yesterday.
So then, so there's that.
I just want to play this, and this is from yesterday, and this will be fun for us to listen to.
You know how China treats its own countrymen.
It's women, it's children.
Do you think they're going to treat us any different because we're America when we become a deadbeat borrower?
We're playing footsie with these guys.
And honestly, it's like going to a bank of Sicily.
Oh, Sicily, it's great.
I was over there.
It's wonderful.
Yeah, isn't Sicily run by mobsters?
I'm just saying.
When we go bankrupt, the Bank of Sicily will come for their money.
It's about Ana.
It's about the family.
You know what I mean?
They don't care about you.
They will take your assets.
And we will owe them.
Unless we'd like to dishonor ourselves.
Okay, so I think he has ratcheted down the paranoia.
You know what I love with my paranoid ramblings is bad stand-up comedy voices.
There's really pairing.
They're coming for you.
China's going to come and take your stuff because Barack Obama keeps taking your money and giving it to poor black people and spending it on health care.
That is the story.
That's the narrative.
And China's going to come and they're going to take your stuff.
China's going to come.
Did he say once we become indebted to China?
We become a deadbeat nation.
A deadbeat.
Yeah, I hope that doesn't start to happen.
We've hardly borrowed anything from China as near as I can tell.
Right.
It's great.
It's a success of capitalism.
You know, we're a bunch of caps.
I've said it before.
I like to say it again.
We're a bunch of capitalists borrowing money from communists so we can bring democracy to a bunch of Muslims who don't even want it.
I would like to give billions of dollars to Glenn Beck as an experiment just to see if he goes Michael Jackson, Howard Hughes crazy.
Because he's on his way to that kind of experience.
He can still function in his daily life, but he is approaching Michael Jackson, Howard Hughes crazy.
Well, I think that he's blown past it in other regards.
Like, you know, they were crazier than him in certain ways.
He's certainly crazier than them in other ways.
And we really don't know what he's doing with his urine.
Yeah, actually, Howard Hughes and Michael Jackson made nice products at some point in their lives.
That's where there's a difference.
They made something useful.
That's a good thoughts on us.
You know what I mean?
So Ricky Gervais got in a lot of trouble.
You guys missed it.
We only have a couple of seconds.
Let me pick a clip and I'll play it.
Oh, here's how he ended the show.
Here's how he ended the show.
Ready?
Thank you very much.
That's about it.
Well done.
Justice there.
Thanks to everyone in the room for being good sports.
Thanks to NBC.
Thanks to Hollywood Farm Press.
Thank you for watching at home.
And thank you to God for making me an atheist.
Thank you.
Now, the thing I love about it the most was that almost every time Ricky Gervais came out to speak on the Golden Globes, everyone was talking in the house, and you could totally hear them.
And then when the camera pulls away from when he's ending the show, people literally stood up with their backs to him, shaking hands, talking.
No one gives a crap about Ricky Gervais outstate, which is funny.
And he took a lot of heat because he made fun of everyone he introduced.
He made fun of Robert Downey Jr. and he made fun of Robert Downey Jr.
Well, let me see.
I think I might just have that.
I love this next presenter.
He's so cool.
He's the star of Iron Man.
Two girls and a guy.
Wonder boys.
Sorry, these porn films.
Kiss, kiss, bang, bang.
Bofinger.
Really?
Up the Academy.
Come on.
He has done all those films, but many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail.
Please welcome Robert Downey Jr.
So that's how he got introduced at the Golden Globes.
And everybody was like, oh my God.
And then Robert Downey Jr. came out and said, wow, there's a really mean vibe happening tonight with an undertone of sinister undertone.
And he was, I think, makes for a really good vibe.
And people applauded that were kind of, but, you know, of course, the Hepcats were digging it.
At first.
We're somehow a room full of creative professionals.
Nobody thought to take a shot at Ricky Gervais' unassailable movie career.
Yes.
Yes.
Nobody.
The invention of lying, which looked bad just on the guide.
I was like, wow, that's the moral.
And then Ghost Town, which is great because it's rare that a movie's title also describes all the theaters that it's playing on.
Oh, hang on.
Tuesday's moron's calling.
Hang on.
Hey, it's Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hey, Jimmy, how you doing?
It's moron.
Hey, Moron, what's going on, buddy?
Ah, Jimmy, you know me.
I'm a good American.
I'm easily manipulated by the corporate media to vote against my own economic interest.
And I'm easily tricked into blaming my problems on other working people with even less wealth than me.
But the thing that does give me comfort, Jim, is that my Lord Jesus the Christ hates exactly the same people I do.
Boy, that's nice to know, right?
You bet you're very comforting to know you're on the same side as the Lord.
So what's on your mind this week, Moron?
Well, I've been following the Arizona tragedy.
Oh, yeah.
Now, just because of this Arizona shooting, now the Democrats want to take everybody's guns away.
I don't hear anybody calling for gun control, moron.
They just want to take the clips.
Yeah, they want to take the clips and they want to say...
Huh?
And then he had to reload.
I mean, why would you need...
Yeah, 30.
Jim, 30 bullets.
Yes, 30 bullets, Moron.
In the clip, but that's the whole deal.
Why do you need 30 bullets in one?
Well, maybe in Arizona.
In Arizona, what?
Well, they need it.
If somebody breaks into your house.
What, 30 people break in?
It's usually one guy.
Well, what?
What if what?
Yeah, what if you miss him a lot?
Then you got extras.
Okay, buddy.
Look, Kim, what that Congress lady really needed was just some security.
What?
She would have had some security or some people would have had more guns.
There was a good person with a gun, and then they would have shot that guy quicker.
Well, there was people with guns.
Oh, there was.
Yes, there were people.
But what happened?
What happened was they almost shot the wrong person.
Yeah, that's what...
Sigh.
*sigh*
And then someone came around the corner and saw him standing there with the gun in his hand and thought he was the shooter and almost shot him.
What do you think of that?
I don't believe you.
What do you mean you don't believe me?
Jim, if there was another guy with a gun there, they would have just shot the guy.
Moron, I'm telling you, there was a guy with a gun there, and he almost shot the wrong guy.
Impossible.
What?
How impossible?
Everyone knows the more guns there are, the more safer you are.
How do you figure that?
Just common sense, Jim.
What was that?
Oh, that's my watch phone.
Your watch phone?
Yeah, I got a watch phone.
What is a watch?
A watch phone.
Yeah, it's a watch and a phone.
Well, you have a phone, right?
And it has a watch on it.
Yeah.
Right, yeah, I had to say.
Okay, but I just don't see it.
All you have to do is put it in your SIM card.
It's just like Dick Tracy.
Why would you even want something like that?
I don't see it.
It's convenient and it's cool.
It's convenient.
What is it convenient for?
You know, jogging.
Oh, you do a lot of jogging, do you, Moron?
No.
Well, I don't see how that's convenient then.
What do you mean you don't see how it's convenient?
I mean, don't you don't you have to just hold the phone up to your ear then and look like a knucklehead?
No, Jim, it comes with headphones.
So then I don't understand how that's still convenient.
Jim, instead of having a phone in your pocket or in your purse or in your coat or where is it, it's right on your wrist.
And you just stick your headphones in and then you can talk.
That actually sounds actually convenient, actually.
You should get one, Jim.
And once you do, I bet you find yourself wearing a lot more short sleeves, if you know what I mean.
It's not working!
I'm sorry.
What's not working, Moron?
I got her a bloomin' onion maker.
Because everybody loves a bloomin' onion.
And what's the problem, buddy?
Yeah, it's great.
It makes bloomin' onions, and it said it works right in your kitchen, right on your stove.
It doesn't?
You need a deep fryer.
I don't have a deep fryer.
So what's so what's Terese doing?
She's trying to fry him up in the pan.
And how's that working out, Moron?
I'm not too good.
This is horrible!
What kind of moron are you?
Therese?
We don't have a deep fryer.
I know.
Therese, how was I supposed to know?
I'm trying to do something.
Oh, I'm wrong, Paul.
What kind of moron are you to find something?
To retreat.
You're going to need a detroit for me.
I'll make it happen, detroit.
No, we don't have a deep fry.
I'll make it up to you.
Now, I'll get you.
I got you something.
What?
I got your foam fetti.
Really, moron.
Well, what's foam fetti, moron?
Oh, foam fetti is great.
It's like a thing like a craft.
Craft?
I don't know.
You decorate stuff with it.
You create, decorate something fun.
You can hear it crackle and feel it crinkle while you mold it, squeeze it, roll it, and bounce it.
Well, what do you make with the depth?
You can make animals, animal shapes, boats, flowers, all sorts of cool creations.
Just use your imagination, Jim.
So it's a craft, like with glue and stuff.
Yeah, it dries by itself so you can keep it and display all of your creations.
Very proud of it.
Well, I don't get, does it, does it adhesive or how does it?
It's just a paper, cardboard, unfinished wood, so you can use it to create sculptures.
You can decorate personal items.
I made a monkey and decorated a flower pot.
Wow, a flower pot.
Sounds really nice, Terese.
I bet you're happy with the foam fettie.
That's my watch phone.
Let me just answer.
Ah, damn it.
Spilled my coat.
Were you holding your drink in your watch phone hand, Moron?
I told you that foam watch was stupid.
Now you've got a cold of your pants.
All right, Jim.
I gotta go.
My pants are all wet.
You never listen to me.
Now you've got to go everywhere.
What are they going to do with you?
This is terrible.
Eddie, if I got to go with that fire idea, you just, you know, I try to do something nice.
I got you, foam fetti.
Okay, that was another Tuesdays with Moron.
Thanks, Moron, for calling in.
And that is our show for today.
I hope you guys...
Oh, well, we still have two minutes, though.
Let's talk about things we can make with foam fetti.
Oh, foam fetti.
Talk about that.
Where do you find all these things?
I just, you know, I'm interested.
I watch a lot of infomercials.
Is it true that it sticks to unfinished wood?
It does stick to unfinished wood.
It sticks to everything.
Paper, unfinished wood, even plastic.
Who doesn't have a bunch of unfinished wood around their house?
I do.
I certainly have a lot of unfinished women.
My whole garage is full of it.
Are you kidding?
We just cut down our tree.
We did a lot of pruning.
Oh, there you go.
Any, I'm sorry, you guys.
You didn't do a lot of pruning.
You had someone come in and do a lot of pruning.
Oh, we tried to stimulate the economy.
Sure.
Do pruning.
Oh, you did it?
Yeah.
You want to see my hands?
My hands.
No, I'd like to see your papers.
How about that?
That's what I'd like to see.
Oh, by the way, and then Robert Teniro got in trouble at the Golden Globes.
Can I show you why Robert Robert Teniro got in trouble?
Because it was really heartfelt the way he was given his speech.
So they were giving him a big award, and so it was like a Lifetime Achievement Award or whatever.
And so he goes up and he obviously hadn't even once read the speech he was about to give.
So I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but don't wait.
They skipped ahead with my thank you for this extraordinary honor.
I was very, very moved and gratified when you made the announcement two months ago.
Thank this is the biggest deal ever in my life.
Okay, whatever.
And I'm really, really, really special.
Okay.
I was very moved and gratified two months ago, but now I'm pretty much over it.
Wow.
So here's where he got in trouble.
Here's where you got.
I'm sorry more members of the foreign press aren't with us tonight, but many of them were deported right before the show.
Along with most of the waiters.
Okay, wait, hang on.
Hang on.
Listen, you kind of stepped on it.
Let's listen.
Tonight, but many of them were deported right before the show.
Along with most of the waiters.
And how do you update them?
So that was kind of a saver, but he said that most of the foreign press were deported before the show, along with the waiters.
People are like, oh, don't say that.
Like, I don't know why people, why would you do that anyway?
Whoa, wait a minute.
Come on.
Okay, listen.
We're up against the clock.
Thanks, everybody, for listening.
I want to thank everybody who helps make this show possible.
Steph Samurano, Ben Salavanski, Robert Yasamura, Paul Gilmartin, Stan Stankos.
