song about making mistakes.
Sometimes we all make mistakes.
Sometimes we catch the real tough break.
But here's a trick that I've been working on.
Just say oops and move on.
Ran out of gas now.
Or maybe you stepped on broken glass or tweeted your boner to a college girl.
Just say oops and move on.
Or maybe you're a movie star and you end up at a bar.
Next thing you know, you're getting blackout drunk and saying stuff about Jews.
Don't you even sweat it.
Have a gin and tonic and just try to forget it because it's all good.
You know the press can be a bitch sometimes.
Just say oops and move on.
Sometimes there's nothing else to do.
Besides, there might be people chasing you because you sold them a bunch of worthless stocks for 20 billion bucks.
Just say oops.
There's supposed to be something here.
Here we go.
Or spilled 100 million gallons of oil and fed up the world.
Don't you get morose.
Take a weekend yacht trip off the English coast because it's all good.
You know that life can be a bit sometimes.
Just say oops and move on.
Music.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the type of people that are...
...home bench maybe on Terry Downer Nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say...
It's hard to talk to you, Kei Dagi.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Welcome to this week's episode.
I'm joined in Studio B in Pasadena.
Oh, we have a new guest today on the show.
He's the host of Dream Tweets, the game show to go.
If you haven't heard it, you should.
It's Jonathan Corbett.
Hey, John, how are you?
Hi, Jimmy, doing well.
Oh, this is the greatest glasses and show business you got on today.
Next to him is the former writer for the Daily Show, hilarious comedian Steve Rosenfield.
How are you, Jimmy?
Good.
You got the brown on.
You're all ready for the spring.
And I have an email, by the way.
I have an email address.
I just want people to know that.
Oh, let's hear it.
I don't know if I should do this.
No, I don't think you should probably do that.
I don't want to brag because I don't have a podcast, but I do have an email.
Oh, that's right.
We all have our own shows.
If you get to know me, I will actually give it to you.
Okay.
Oh, I can't wait to get to know you better.
All right.
Why you got to hold that over my head?
Next to him from Dinner and a Movie on TVS and the Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast, chosen one of the best 10 podcasts of the year by the Onion AV Club.
It's Paul Gilmartin.
Hi, Paul.
How are you?
Hi, Jimmy.
Good to see you.
Thanks for coming in.
Thanks for bringing your top 10 ass over to my show.
I appreciate it.
I really appreciate you slumming like this with this show.
Okay, right now, what's coming up?
What's going on?
Well, Romney defeats Gingrich in Florida, right?
We all saw that.
And it was great.
A rich white douchebag was trounced by an even richer white douchebag.
Woo-hoo!
Reminds me of the ratings battle between Jersey Shore and the Kardashians, doesn't it?
And it turns out Trump actually supports Mitt Romney and has officially endorsed him as of today.
And now Romney has locked down the coveted lying racist scumbag boat.
Experts say this will have a huge impact on anyone pathetic enough to give a shit.
Okay.
And guess what?
Bob Schaefer of CBS News, the Venerable Bob Schaefer, sat down to interview the race baiter and carnival barker Donald Trump.
And we answer the question, why did respected newsman Bob Schaefer agree to interview Trump in the first place?
Answer coming up.
Hint, Face the Nation was celebrating ass week.
Okay.
I love their theme weeks.
We love it too.
Plus, Chris Matthews and Tony Perkins end up in the Oh My God segment.
And David Vitter gets mad about bringing up diapers and hookers on CNN.
Plus Rip Torn's Hollywood drunk tank.
Mitt Romney calls in to explain his gap.
And Paula Dean calls in.
That's this week on the Jimmy Door chip.
Time for another installment of Oh My God.
Okay, in this week's Oh My God segment, you know, one of our pet peeves on the show is the media's constant, insidious penchant for making false equivalencies between the left and the right, the conservatives, progressives.
And a few weeks ago, we took notice of such a stomach-turning habit that many news hosts have of pretending that bigotry and ignorance is just a difference of opinion and that we can all just be palsy with the ignorant and bigoted.
Like, you know, our good friend Chris Matthews likes to have on Tony Perkins.
I don't know if you don't, Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, the anti-science, pro-ignorance wing of the Christian coalition.
And they like to hide behind religion in order to push hatred and bigotry.
Isn't he rumored to be a closeted gay too?
And of course, anybody who hates the gays that much is closeted.
Sure.
And so is that the kind of guy you would call your friend, Paul?
Is that the kind of a guy?
Anti-science, erase pates, and hates the gays.
In public.
Like, that's not a thing he keeps to himself.
No, that's what I call a lover.
So here's how Chris Matthews introduced Tony Perkins a few weeks ago.
And we played this on the show, but it's good to play again to remember.
Tony Perkins is president of the Family Research Council.
Tony, old pal, thanks for joining us.
I hope you don't get in trouble for me calling you old pal, but you do come on the show quite regularly.
Okay, so there's Chris Matthews calling Tony Tony Perkins pro-ignorance, pro-bigot.
So, you know, and upset us, we talked about this.
And instead of reminding people the kind of ignorant bigot that Tony Perkins is, Chris Matthews calls him my old pal.
And instead of discrediting him, he validates him.
And so you're like, oh, come on, how bad is Tony Perkins?
He's just a Christian who hates gays.
So here he is from yesterday.
This is just from yesterday.
This is from February 1st.
So we played that last week on our show.
And then in the meantime, this is what Tony Perkins did just yesterday.
The Islamist and the homosexuals work out of the same playbook.
They know that if what they do and what they subscribe to is scrutinized, people will turn away from it.
So what they want to do is they want to marginalize and eventually silence anyone who challenges their ideology and their agenda.
Okay, so there's Tony Perkins.
That's the guy, I don't know what, Tony Perkins is president of the Family Research Council.
Tony, old pal, thanks for joining us.
That's his old pal.
That's Tony's old pal.
Wow.
That's Chris's old pal.
How does he talk?
The Islamist And the homosexuals work out of the same playbook.
Okay, that's his old pal.
Anybody generally that says the homosexuals, you know what follows is not going to be smart or good.
You know, mock them all you want, but next time a gay suicide bomber hits, you won't be laughing so hard.
It's the same playbook.
By the time that over-the-top float explodes.
You know what it is?
I think it's he played Chris Matthews, obviously playing by the rules of keep your enemies closer.
Oh, maybe that's what it is.
That's why the guy that mugged me last week sleeps on my couch now.
Because I like to keep him close.
Hey, pal, that's my mugger.
Yeah, I hope you didn't get in trouble by sleeping on my couch.
So, yeah, Matthews is no dummy.
And they argue him out of the same plane book because I don't know.
If you saw, they don't show him any of the photos of the hijackers, the 9-11.
Three of them are wearing ashless chaps.
And so they are out of the same playbook.
You know, Perkins is right, Jimmy, because if there's anything worse than a terrorist, it's a bitchy, sarcastic terrorist.
Al Ghaida.
This has been, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so why waste any more time?
Let's get right to Mr. I'm Mitt.
I'm worth $150 or $200 million, depending.
He let us know what he's really worried about and what he's not worried about in American society today.
Ready?
I care about Americans.
I'm not concerned about the very poor.
We have a safety net there.
If it needs a repair, I'll fix it.
I'm not concerned about the very rich.
They're doing just fine.
I'm concerned about the very heart of America, the 90, 95% of Americans who right now are struggling.
And I'll continue to take that message across the nation.
All right.
I just know I said the last question, but I got to ask you.
You just said, I'm not concerned about the very poor because they have a safety net.
And I think there are lots of very poor Americans who are struggling who would say, that sounds odd.
Can you explain that?
Well, you had to finish the sentence, Soledad.
I said, I'm not concerned about the very poor that have a safety net, but if it has holes in it, I will repair them.
Got it.
Okay.
The challenge right now.
Okay, got it.
But you're not worried about them.
You took it to her, huh?
Wow, really?
Hey, you got to finish the sentence there.
I don't care about the poor, but for real.
Poor people are not Americans, I think is what he was saying.
I don't care about people with stage four cancer.
I'm concerned about people that just discover a lump.
That's who we really need to focus on.
People that are jumping to conclusions.
I don't know.
Yeah, call me a cynic, but if I had a net to repair, he just doesn't seem like the guy to go to for a net repair.
Safety net.
There's nothing safe about him, really.
You know what it is?
I think maybe he's like any fan of the circus knows it's more exciting without a net.
You know, that's probably.
He seems like a guy that might come in and just decide that net repair isn't profitable.
It's well, how do you make money on net repair?
I think Mitt has confused the safety net with a swimming pool and a sweet ride.
I think that's they.
They've got everything.
The way he says safety data, he makes it sound like a bouncy house.
It's not.
They've got a safety net.
What more could they want?
You mean they want a safety net and a glimmer of hope that they won't spend their entire lives in poverty?
Talk about greedy.
That's what I'm saying.
I'd like to hear a journalist say to him, give me three or four names of anybody you know that makes less than $50,000 a year.
Oh, my three mates.
And my ship.
Together they make 50%.
Anybody not employed by you that makes less than $50,000?
Sure, the Shushan guy down at the train station that I drive by.
Yeah, that would be a tough question for him, I imagine.
You know, come on, you guys, the poor do have it pretty good.
You know, the old saying, poverty is bliss.
Isn't that the old saying?
Right?
And when you've never had anything, you have no idea how much you're missing.
All the poor need to be happy is a fistful of cheese and daytime judge shows.
Now, that's living.
Right?
That's what Mitt's saying.
And you know what?
And if the cheese or judge shows start to unravel, Mitt's the guy to fix it.
Sure, he'll step right in with a hole for that safety net, that safety net of daytime judge shows and government cheese.
And that's what they can, they can also do the safety dance.
I love the idea.
Isn't YouTube it?
Isn't the plan then to let the people that are kind of poor become very poor, and then the safety net will catch them.
So you really don't have to do anything.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Why wouldn't you just try to make the middle class move them down to being very poor?
Right.
No worries.
Then you don't have to worry about them anymore.
Sure.
That's literally what he's saying.
He's saying, I don't worry about the very poor because they're doing great.
Because you know who makes out during a depression?
The very poor.
The very poor.
They make out like bandits.
They've been doing since 2007, 2008.
The very poor have really.
I don't know.
I went down at the homeless shelter.
They have silk pillows.
That's how well they're doing down there.
They have electric can openers for their dog food.
That's how well that they're doing.
I think Romney is hoping that the very poor will be too weak to vote.
But you know who isn't doing very well?
You know, who really needs our help?
It's the people who are a couple of notches on the economic ladder above the very poor.
They're hurting.
Yes, me and you.
So what would they, I think what would help us is if they took away some of our money so then we could be considered very poor.
And then we'd be skating along very nicely.
It's like a hammock.
At least.
Just like living in a hammock, that safety net.
It looks like a safety net, but it's swinging back and forth.
Yeah, I've seen a couple of those social safety nets behind a dumpster on Hollywood Boulevard.
Those guys sleeping in them really nice.
You know, at least the reporter pushed back a teensy bit before letting him just, again, spew that BS that the poor are doing swimmingly right now.
The poor, you know, we all know that the poor is doing great.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, the poor, the people who are really taking it on the chin.
It's a boom industry right now.
You want to get in, get in early.
I saw a guy in line for unemployment, and he was peering at the paperwork through a monocle.
Oh, yes.
You know, it's not really a safety net.
It's more of a filthy blanket.
You know, just to be accurate about it.
If you're a little bit more of a little bit of a lot of poor people sitting by the bus with no, they're not really trying to catch the bus.
They're waiting to die.
Steve, with that uplifting comedy of Steve Rosenfield, ladies and gentlemen.
You know, I painted a picture there.
I got it.
I love it.
You're welcome.
Theater of the mind.
So the whole thing was, and the reason why Mitt Romney is going to be our, not ours, but the Republican nominee is because inside the Republican Party, they've been saying things like, well, we have to, we can't have Newt Gingrich be our nominee because if it's Newt Gingrich, then the whole race is going to be about Newt Gingrich, and we need to make this about Barack Obama.
So if Mitt Romney's our nominee, somehow then it's going to be about, because he doesn't have three wives and all that stuff.
He didn't work for Fannie Mae, but he says stuff like this all the time.
Yeah, he's making the first George Bush look like a social worker.
And he's making the second Bush look articulate.

Okay, so Bob Schieffer sat down with Donald Trump.
And I can only imagine that he did that because they threatened him to sit down with Donald Trump.
Bob Schaefer, kind of a real newsman.
I don't understand.
A throwback.
Yeah, a throwback.
But he actually, he's very modern in this interview because he couldn't give a care.
He doesn't follow up.
He doesn't follow up anything.
Here he sits down with Donald Trump, Donald Trump, he sits down with Donald Trump.
This is from last week.
And why?
Why does anybody need to hear from Donald Trump?
Why does anyone need to hear from Donald?
Why don't we ask Drew Kerry what he thinks?
Why isn't he holding press conferences?
He owns a reality show, too.
It's just unbelievable.
So here's what he'd love to be the president, but here's why he can't be president.
You ready?
I would be precluded.
And, you know, sadly, I'm precluded from running now because of the show.
If I didn't have the show, I probably would have maybe just kept going because I was doing well, as you know, as leading in the polls.
Okay.
Wow.
I didn't realize that mess on top of his head is delusion.
Yes, it certainly is.
It's starting to grow.
And first of all, he wasn't in the top of the polls.
He loves to say that.
That wasn't true.
But it's nice to know that he would love to fix our economy and save our country.
But, you know, he's got a reality show to do.
Yes.
You know, priorities.
But he still might run for president on nights and weekends.
So if he can work it in.
Fingers crossed.
Fingers crossed.
Trump's.
Harry Truman almost wasn't president because he was pitching his sitcom.
Yeah, well, he was up for the Colgate hour.
Almost changed the course of history.
I do think Trump is right, though.
He can better serve the people as an A-hole TV host much better than as an A-hole president, don't you think?
Yeah.
Okay, so, I mean, thank God the ratings on the apprentice were good enough to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
I mean, we kind of dodged a bullet there, don't you think?
Thanks, right?
So thanks, everybody.
This close to being president.
So here's a bullet more like a cure.
He could have fixed it.
Here's what Donald Trump said he would concentrate on if he was president.
Making this country great again.
We're really not great any longer.
When was the last time you saw a major bridge being built in this country, a great highway?
We don't do anything anymore.
I go to China and I see bridges being built all over.
I see, I mean, and China's the least of it.
You go to some of the OPEC nations, you go and take a look at what they're doing.
I mean, their roads are paved in gold.
Our roads are potholed and messed up, and our bridges are falling down.
So we really have to get this country going again.
So am I out of my mind?
But did he just recommend that we do the New Deal?
Yeah.
That's the New Deal.
The New Deal.
And socialists.
Yes.
And in the next paragraph, he'll probably say that we need to cut taxes.
I love the fantasy world that Republicans live in, that they want to get back to these glory days, but they don't want to pay for it.
Right.
Like it's going to come from...
Right.
Do you want to hear?
It's like there's this delusion that they think if we deregulate businesses more, that's going to pay for bridges.
It's not.
No?
What if we cut taxes?
Won't that raise money?
We deregulate, cut taxes.
What if we outsource some jobs?
Won't that help our economy?
No, none of this is helping.
We need to build a wall through Mexico, the border with Mexico.
Oh, that'd help.
That'll help our economy, right?
And ban gay marriage.
Maybe probably build some bridges.
You know how many jobs that would create?
Banning gay marriages?
Come on.
Not to mention flag burning.
Oh, okay.
So here, so Bob Schieffer actually does follow up that little bit right there.
He asks them, how are you going to pay for it?
Where would you get the money for all this, Mr. Trump?
Money for what?
For a building.
You've been talking about it for 10 minutes.
That's what you just said.
Money for what, Bob?
For what?
My mind wandered.
Oh, bridges and roads?
Does that take money?
Here we go.
I was busy in my mind gold plating the White House.
Okay, here we go.
Bridges and roads.
Well, you have to get the country back.
You have to start rebuilding this country instead of Afghanistan, instead of Iraq.
Iraq did not knock down the World Trade Center.
I'm a person that believes strongly in the military.
I want to build up the military.
We need a military more than we ever have because unfortunately, many parts of the world truly hate us.
Okay, we have a budget deficit.
Let's try to remember what the question was.
Right.
We have a budget deficit.
So the money isn't coming from money that we're already spending that we don't have.
So how are we going to pay for all your roads and bridges?
That's the question.
Bigger military.
Yes, he keeps going.
But we have to know where the target is.
And when we invest $1.5 trillion in Iraq and give, essentially, we're going to be handing Iraq over to Iran because eventually they're just going to walk in and take it because it's there for the taking.
They have the second largest oil reserves in the world.
So he's saying that we shouldn't have gone into Iraq because we've got to know what the target is.
We shouldn't have gone in there.
But wait, still the question, what's the question, Paul?
Do you remember?
How are we going to pay for the bridges?
Okay.
And why didn't we take some of the oil?
Why didn't we take it?
And, you know, I say that, and a lot of people say, oh, that's terrible.
And a lot of people say, gee, that's very smart.
You know, it's interesting.
When we first went to Iraq, smart people said, oh, we're there for the oil.
Unfortunately, we weren't there for the oil.
We were there for nobody knows why.
Unfortunately, we weren't there for the oil.
Unfortunately, we were there.
We didn't kill people to bring the price of gas down.
Unfortunately, we weren't there for the oil.
We actually went there.
Why do we go there?
Who knows?
Hopefully, it wasn't to defend our country.
I hope that's not what that stupid reason was.
You know, it's like you go to the store, you're wandering around, you forget what you were there for, you kill several thousand people.
Anyway, halfway home, you're like, avocados!
The oil!
My wife is going to kill me!
I forgot to get the oil.
Okay, he's got more.
We're there.
And now it's blowing up right in front of your eyes.
So Iran will take over Iraq and they'll take over these massive oil reserves.
And it's a very sad thing.
And what I did say, and I said very strongly, a lot of people agree with me, and I guess some people don't.
But while we were there, we should have taken oil.
And we should have taken care of the families where you have lost soldiers, great, great young people that are gone, or they lost their arms, or they lost their legs, or they had worse happen to them.
But Paul, what's the question?
How are we going to pay for the bridges?
Okay, still he's still answering that question.
Here we go.
And I actually said each family would get $3 million, $4 million, or $5 million, which, by the way, is peanuts compared to the kind of numbers you're talking about.
And nobody picked up the mantle, and I never understood it.
I never understood it.
There's so many things this country, I mean, you look at Gaddafi and Libya and how the rebels come in.
And by the way, that whole thing is just blowing up right now.
We go and spend billions of dollars.
Why didn't we say we'll do it?
They were being routed, Bob.
You know that.
They were being routed.
They came to us.
They wanted help.
Why didn't we say, we're going to give you help?
We want 50% of your oil.
They would have said, whatever you want, boom.
Instead, we just say, oh, we'll help you.
Now, we don't even know who they are and that they've taken over the country.
And now it's blowing up also.
We miss so many great and easy decisions.
So our country is mired in debt.
We borrow money from China to pay for all sorts of things.
You know, the biggest beneficiary of Afghanistan is China because they're taking the minerals out of Afghanistan.
We're taking nothing out.
So.
So he's okay, so what was the question, Paul?
How are we going to pay for the bridges?
So he says, pay for the bridges by invading other countries and stealing their natural resources.
You know how many problems we could solve if we just plundered Canada?
Yeah.
They're right there.
I saw a woman being physically accosted by a man one time in a parking lot, and I was about to break it up, but I had to have her show me the contents of her purse first.
Come on, she'd give it to you.
She'd go, Sherry, you could have anything that's in my purse.
This guy's trying to steal my purse.
I'm asking for his 50%.
So Donald Trump, the way to pay for infrastructure and to get our economy going is you start illegal wars, invade other countries that haven't attacked us, kill their people, and steal their resources, and boom, you got your potholes filled.
It's just that easy.
Long way to go to fix a road.
And Bob Schieffer said it's nothing back to him after that.
I think he's awake.
Could he have done?
Could he have done a worse job?
He forgot his own question.
I literally, if I was there, the only thing I could think to say would be, Are you high?
He doesn't push back, doesn't say anything.
Bob Schaefer just lets him just lets him go.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
Anybody?
Well, he probably realizes, like you said before, he doesn't want to be there.
Right.
He probably realizes, how am I sitting across decades in the business?
I've interviewed presidents and I'm talking to Donald Trump again.
Again, this idiot, this moron.
But it was like, well, Bob, you know, maybe you get on your game and you take him apart.
Why wouldn't you take him apart?
Go ahead.
You can take him apart, Bob.
Everybody will be happy.
Maybe he felt that he wasn't worth it.
He didn't even go, so this is the new deal you're proposing.
He doesn't, you know what I mean?
Let's watch Donald Trump flip around a little bit.
You know the old adage about, you know, when you're arguing with a narcissistic douchebag.
No.
No, what is the old adage?
The old adage about arguing with a drunk.
What is it?
That's what I was going for.
Somebody watching wouldn't be able to tell who was who.
Oh, right, right, right.
Just two people screaming.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're right.
But it didn't work as a joke.
Okay, we'll cut that out.
Thank you.
So I'm here with Mitt Romney.
Now, Mitt, you're in a bit of a pickle again.
You did it.
You did it again.
Now, you said you don't worry about the very poor, but you worry about people who have more money than them.
Now, do you understand why that didn't make sense to a lot of people?
Well, yes, yes.
Now, listen, Jimmy.
I can't worry about everybody.
So I will worry about most everybody.
You know, the 95% in the middle, but not the very poor.
I'm talking poor, Jimmy.
I'm talking, get away from me, poor.
You stink.
Funny.
Mitt, that sounds horrible.
Well, then, why are you laughing?
Well, okay.
Maybe it's not something horrible.
But it is.
Listen, it is a Republican primary.
It's time to feed the animals.
Get them going.
It's really, that's really horrible.
Hey, no, no, fair.
Nuda's out there race baiting like he's Lee Atwater at CPAC.
I'm a moderate.
Race doesn't matter to me.
So whether you are black or white, yellow, or even worse, I don't care.
If you're poor, I hate you.
Mitt, come on.
I don't see.
I don't see race.
I see the things that make us truly human and separate us from the animals.
Bank statements and portfolios.
And when I say animals, I mean poor people of every race, color, and creed.
Go to hell.
Do not meet.
Oh, my God.
I thought a poor person came near me.
My whole system seeks up.
Stinky McStinkerson.
Mitt.
I don't need them.
I'm focusing on the 95% in the middle and try to taunt them into thinking I'm going to help them.
Well, first of all, you're wrong about the numbers, Bitt.
The very conservative numbers say that not just a few percent of the people are very poor, but 14% of the population in America actually lives below the poverty line.
Well, that's great news.
Even more people do not have to give a shit about.
Fantastic.
I'm going to go have a glass of sparkling cider to celebrate.
Okay, Bitt.
I appreciate it.
Thanks for taking it.
Hey, we let the dogs out.
Remember that?
Yes, I do.
I don't care about race.
I'm just like you, Jimmy.
Okay, thanks, Bitt.
You got it, Buster.

And coming up on the second half of today's show, we're taking a look at this Southern strategy as delivered from Newt Gingrich.
That's right.
Plus, we have a phone call from Paula Dean.
Yes, Paula Dean calls in two weeks in a row.
She's got something to say.
You know, she was on a cruise ship and there was a picture of her eating a triple cheeseburger, which I say more power to her, but she calls in to talk about it.
Also, Rip Torn's Hollywood drunk tank coming up on the second half of the show.
You know, Madonna has been tapped to do the halftime at the Super Bowl, and Rip's got a little bit something to say about that.
But right now, we're up against a break, and this is the Jimmy Doerr show on Pacific.
Hello, podcast listeners.
As you know, as you will, first of all, how about it for the show this week?
How about it for the show?
Okay.
Second of all, you know, this show is made possible only because we have listeners who support the show.

For instance, we have, if you've never heard of Sherry's Berries, well, I have.
We used to give, I give them away as gifts to people.
One time, Jimmy Schubert was a guest on my other show, the Common Everything Else podcast.
And as a thank you, he sent me Sherry's Berries, and I was thrilled.
These berries are the biggest berries you're ever going to eat.
They're one of the biggest ones I've ever seen.
And they come covered in chocolates.
They come covered in white chocolate.
I like the white chocolate ones better.
I don't know why.
And we have a great deal.
So if you like berries, you get those, you get them for someone for Valentine's Day.
Whoever you get them for, they will be thrilled.
Steph, are you thrilled when they show up at their house?
They are unbelievable.
They're not just good, they're huge.
Okay, so there, I'm done selling.
But that's, I wouldn't say that if it wasn't true.
So, here's the deal we have: you go to berries.com, B-E-R-R-I-E-S.
You click on the microphone in the upper right-hand corner and you type in Jimmy D. And here's the deal: here is the deal.

Okay, guess what's coming up?
A phone call from Paula Dean kicks off the second half of today's show.
Enjoy it.
And thank you from the bottom of our heart for supporting the show.
Hey, welcome back to the Jimmy Door show.
I'm joined in studio from the host of Dream Tweet.
It's Jonathan Corbett.
Next to him, former writer for the Daily Show, hilarious comedian Steve Rosenfield.
And next to him, it's my old pal from Chicago, host of Dinner in a Movie on TBS and Mental Illness Happy Hour Podcast.
It's Paul Gilmart and Apollo.
Jimmy.
Okay, so what's coming up on the second half of the show?
Well, we're going to have, it's Rip Torrance Drunk Take, Hollywood Drunk Tank, and he's going to cover all the topics.
You know what it's like.
It's coming.
We're also going to talk about David Vitter went on CNN, and he doesn't like talking about prostitutes or diapers.
And the Southern strategy is in full force in the Newt Gingrich camp.
We're going to take a look at it.
Hey, hey, it's just a little race baiting to get some votes in the South.
What's the big deal?
But right now, Paula Dean called in again, and she had something to say.
Hey, Jimmy, it's Paula Dean, your favorite Southern cooking lady.
I can't believe all the flag I'm getting over the cold diabetes debacle.
I got diagnosed with diabetes.
I made a deal with diabetes company.
And you know what?
I'm doing fine.
There ain't nothing wrong with me.
Ain't nothing.
Ain't nothing I can do differently before.
It is true.
You sure?
You sure?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I've been slipping in and out of a diabetic or as we call it in the South, the sugar slate.
Anyway.
Everyone's coming down on me because they caught me in the big old cheeseburger on a cruise ship.
You got spurs sometimes.
Sometimes spurs involves three patties and bees.
Oh, and I swear to God, Wilfred Bramley keeps calling me yelling at me about diabetes.
I just can't stain it.
Anyway, I'm going to go.
I know, probably don't.
Today's my cheat day.
I'm going to cheat.
Cheat.
They're going to cheat like a motherfucker.
You hear me?
You heard me?
That's how I do.
All right, Jimmy.
Take care, baby.
Okay.
That was Paula Dean.
You know, she did.
She unfortunately got caught.
She was on a cruise ship, and there was a picture circulating her eating this huge giant cheeseburger and everything.
So, yeah, it's her cheat day.
That's her body, you know.
Let her do what she's doing.
It's her cheat.
And you know, I have to say, I tried her recipe for amputator salad.
And it's just rich.
Just carefree.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Okay, you know, Newt Gingrich, let's get back to.
So let's talk about the Southern strategy.
So you know what the Southern strategy is, right?
It started in the 60s with Nixon when they passed the civil rights legislation.
Lyndon Johnson Famously said, We're signing away the South because he knew that the Republicans would then race bait, get all the whiteys over in their party, and the blacks would gravitate towards the Democrats.
And that's exactly what happened.
And they instituted the Southern Strategy, which is appealing to whites, to certain whites, prejudices and fears of the black man, right?
And to get them to vote Republican.
And it's been admitted to just by about every person who's instituted it.
Lee Atwater had a deathbed confession said he apologized for using the Southern Strategy in the Dukakis campaign.
Ken Melman, closeted gay Republican chairman, also apologized for using the Southern Strategy.
And Richard Steele, the latest African-American chairman of the Republican Party, also had apologized for using the Southern Strategy.
So we know what that is, and we know it's happening.
Well, guess what?
It's happening again, right?
Newt Gingrich is walking around saying black kids and poor people need to learn how to work and calling our first black president the foodstaff president.
And then when he gets called on it, he acts like it's just an honest, factual analysis of the current economic situation.
Oh, sure.
And remember, we all remember what happened to Juan Williams.
You know, the black guy paid $3 million a year to make Fox News look less racist.
You remember what happened when he asked Newt Gingrich to stop degrading, demonizing, and insulting blacks with hate-filled rhetoric?
Remember what happened?
He got booed by the audience.
A room full of white people booed him, right?
And then immediately after, I didn't play this on the show, but immediately after that South Carolina debate where Juan Williams got booed for asking Newt to stop race baiting, this is what Newt Gingrich had to say about Juan Williams.
The right to pursue happiness, in my judgment, implies pursuit or activity, which implies the work ethic.
And I had a very interesting dialogue Monday night in Myrtle Beach with Juan Williams about the idea of work, which seemed to Juan Williams to be a strange, distant concept.
Something worthy of study in an academic environment, but certainly not something to be subjected to young people.
Because he's black.
Because he's black.
Juan Williams, I don't know if you know this, Newt.
Juan Williams actually has a job.
You know who he works for?
Fox News.
He's employed by Fox News.
He has been employed by Fox News.
And insinuating that he doesn't know anything about work, that would be called the Southern Strategy.
That's what that is.
That's known as race baiting.
And he did it again.
So here he was after the Florida.
So that was after the South Carolina primary.
Here he is after the Florida primary.
Ready?
And I'll tell you up front: I'm not going to compete with Obama in singing because I'm not running for entertainer in chief.
I'm running for president.
And I would say to him now, Mr. President, you cannot sing your way past the disaster of your presidency.
Now.
Okay, so there you have it.
You know what I like?
He goes to the old, hey, it's the black minstrel dancing minstrel guy.
Uh-huh.
So even though, you know, Newt Mitt Romney just the other day sang the whole America the beautiful on stage to awkwardly in front of a room full of whiteys, he doesn't bring up Mitt Romney singing.
It's only the president, Barack Obama, because he's black and he's an entertainer and blah, blah, blah.
And so it never stops with the race baiting.
So it just keeps going.
So then finally, Rachel Maddow, so Newt Gingrich's spokesperson, his old chairman, Kev's campaign, is now leading his super PAC, was on with Rachel Maddow, and she asks him the question that's on everybody's mind.
When Mr. Gingrich talked tonight about the president as an entertainer-in-chief, as somebody who ought to stop singing and deal with the real problems of the country, coming on the heels of him calling him a food stamp president, I hear racially coded language there.
I hear Mr. Gingrich trying to appeal to southern white conservatives who may be responding to essentially racially biased, coded language about the president that's designed to call on the resentment of African-American achievement in this country.
Am I wrong to see it that way?
Okay, so you asked the question.
Who did she say that to?
So this is the spokesperson for the Roman.
He's leading, he's handling Newt Gingrich's super PAC.
I see.
And he's his former campaign chairman.
Okay.
Okay.
So good guy.
So a good guy.
Yeah.
It's baloney.
And, you know, MSNBC ought to get off this race baiting kick.
If you want to talk about race baiting, you want to talk about.
MSNBC ought to get off their race baiting.
Well-known race baiters, not Newt Gingrich.
MSNBC known as race baiters.
They are the race baiters.
The Republican Party was started by Abraham Lincoln.
We fought a civil rights.
The last good one.
They love to say that, right?
They peaked early with Lincoln.
Six of the ninth planks in 1856 platform were civil rights platforms to start as a civil rights party.
If you go back.
You know what?
Well, you got to go back 100 years.
150.
150 years.
You know, and the Catholic Church started as a child protection agency, too.
I don't know if you know that.
That's how we all started.
B.S. And then he just tries to ignore history with that thing I just talked about, how in the 60s with the Southern Strategy, Nixon, just ignoring all of it.
Just try, can't we go back 150 years?
And that's how I'm going to make my argument.
You know, even then, they were doing the same thing to Frederick Slamdunk Douglas.
Painting him.
Even then, it's always been their history.
I'm sorry.
Don't forget, if you missed any part of today's show and you want to hear any of those phone calls again or any of the things we talked about, there's always a podcast of the Jimmy Door show available for free at iTunes.
Or you can go to JimmyDoorComedy.com and listen to the episodes for free.
Or you can download them for free.
Plus, there's lots of other videos and things to watch and see.
And oh, we always love it when you comment on something over at JimmyDoorComedy.com and you spell my last name, D-O-R-E.
And right now, let's get back to the show.
And we're trying to figure out what is going to come of the Southern Strategy.
So do you see an end?
Does anybody here see an end to the race bait?
I mean, the Southern Strategy still works in America.
You're never going to get black votes.
So the point is to try to get as many white votes.
But it works less and less each year, I believe.
As America becomes less racist and less homophobic, certainly still homophobic and racist, but as it becomes less each year, the Southern Strategy, I think, will work less and less.
He's appealing to, yes, a large segment of people, but compared to the rest of the United States, it's fringe.
It's not enough to get elected.
And they're also becoming poorer, which is the reason why it's working less and less, and that they're looking around and realizing that, you know, exactly.
They cheer for it every two to four years.
They take minorities in front of us, and then they cut our jobs.
Yeah.
And maybe they're catching on.
And there's a war going on between their hatred, the fear of the unknown, and their own livelihood, which I think maybe, you know, hopefully they're coming around to realizing that you would hope that race baiting would turn off at least as many people as it attracts.
You would hope that that would be the case.
But then what are they going to do?
I mean, so people who vote Republican, they go, yeah, I know that a lot of our party's racist.
I get it that our leaders have to pander to them.
Do they consciously say that?
Or do they pretend like this guy just did with Ray Bo Matt Allen?
I think some consciously do it.
Do you know?
Jimmy, tell me this.
How many elections have you won in South Carolina?
So maybe you're not the guy to ask.
So I am not the guy to ask.
Let me ask you, Paul Paul, do you know any Republicans that are you considered friends?
Yeah.
Me too, right?
So what do you think they think to themselves?
I don't think they would vote for Newt Gingrich.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Mitt Romney, though?
Yeah.
Okay.
Mitt Romney.
Let the dogs out.
All right.
Here we go.
All right.
Let's move on.
David Vitter, ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know if you know who David Vitter is.
David Vitter is a family values white-ring Christian senator from Louisiana.
So where's his hypocrisy?
Is he gay or well?
He was caught.
His name showed up on the phone list for Washington Madam.
Okay, there we go.
There's always some skeleton.
Oh, yeah.
So he's super Christian, super family values.
He's super horny.
Super horny.
And he got, turns out, not only was he seeing prostitutes, but the details came out somehow.
You know what the details are, right, Steve, of David Vitter and his prostitute?
He wore a diaper while he was being.
He liked to have the prostitutes dress him up in a diaper.
Now, I don't do that to shame anyone.
I like a diaper, too, sometimes.
You know, sometimes I'm lazy.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes I don't.
I've got a long plane flight.
Well, we've all been one once.
You know, sometimes I'm having sex with my wife.
I don't want to get out of bed.
You know what I mean?
I'm like, honey, just get the diaper.
Can we just get the diaper?
So that's David Vitter, ladies and gentlemen.
So he was on with, I think, Soledad O'Brien on CNN.
We're going to find out real quick who it was.
So he's on CNN, and here she is asking him a question, and let's just see how he handles it.
I'm going to do a right turn here.
I know you are a professional politician, and I know you go on TV a lot.
And I know coming on TV with me today, you had to know that this question was coming.
So it is awkward for me to even ask it, but I got it.
And I think you know where I'm going with this.
Newt Gingrich.
I don't, but go ahead.
Okay, so here I go.
Newt Gingrich has been suffering some heat over his cheating on his first wife, cheating on his second wife with his third wife.
And you have also suffered heat in your political career as well, back in 2007, admitting to having made some calls to an alleged prostitution operation.
You did very well when you ran for re-election in 2010.
In fact, if I look at the numbers, I think you trounced your opponent by, what, 19 points or something like that?
You seem to manage that baggage very well.
I want you to weigh in on Newt Gingrich's baggage and handling that baggage and what it is like for a politician who has some serious baggage trying to be elected.
Ashley, the good news is in America, it's not up to CNN.
It's up to the American people and it's up to voters.
That was the case in my election in 2010.
That's going to be the case in this presidential election.
And I think the voters are going to look carefully at all sorts of issues.
But my guess is what concerns them now is this horrible, horrible economy and their future and their struggles around the kitchen table.
Well, I appreciate that you say it's not up to CNN, but good dodge, though, right there.
He dodges the question, kind of puts it back on her.
Like, you're kind of a jerk.
You're a jerk.
I might be wearing a diaper right now, but you're a jerk.
Okay, here we go.
I like to say we're the messenger here, and one of the messages that you gave was this quotation about your incident.
And you said this was a very serious sin in my past for which I am, of course, completely responsible.
And that's why I bring it to you, not so that CNN can dictate how voters will vote, but so that we can take your message, including that one, which was kind of an embarrassing thing to have to admit to, as Newt Gingrich has had to admit to some very embarrassing things, and allow the voters to take those messages.
Bang.
She comes right back in.
Oh, by the way, you said you were 100% responsible right in your face, David.
And who's doing this interview?
Ashley Banfield.
I think it's Ashley Banfield.
Oh, she's doing it wow.
Right, Ashley, sure.
Okay.
You're personally doing, in my opinion, outdoing out King, but go for it.
John Gingrich.
I'm not trying to outdo anyone, sir.
I am trying to hold you.
So he tries to make the, you know, remember when Newt Gingrich beat up on John King for asking him about his wife, which is a completely legitimate question to ask a guy who impeached a guy for cheating on his wife.
So he's trying to do that.
Again, shoot the messenger.
Shoot the messenger.
It's not about me and my hypocrisy.
I hold you accountable for the things you did.
And I also said that you beat your opponent by 19 points, which is a pretty nice thing to say.
What I'm asking you is, can you compare the difficulties that you struggled with to what Newt Gingrich is struggling with?
No, I can't.
And that's that.
Again, I think the great news is in America is it's going to be up to the voters.
And the voters are looking at a lot of issues.
They're looking at the backgrounds of all of the candidates.
But I think ultimately what they're most concerned about as they try to figure out how to pay their monthly bills is this horrible economy, how we come out of it.
But again, that's going to be for them to decide.
Is that how that works?
You know, it turns out even David Vitter gets pissed off when you try to compare him to Newt Gingrich.
How dare you?
You know, it's funny.
He seems surprisingly unprepared for questions about being a sleazeball, considering he's an expert.
He is an expert at being a sleazeball.
And that's the worst kind of gotcha question to ask a guy who got caught wearing diapers with prostitutes about the time he got caught wearing diapers with prostitutes.
Just like CNN to focus on the negative.
What about all the times he didn't wear a diaper when being pleasured by a prostitute?
He never gets any credit for that.
When are they going to realize that there is a karma involved when you begin the dialogue of assigning morality to people's sexuality when you open that door by saying, you know, the gays are going to hell or whatever?
They're not.
When are they going to learn to just keep their mouth shut because karma has a way of coming and biting them on the ass?
In addition to it just being wrong.
And also, I'd love to know who's the guy he beat by 19 points and how crappy is that?
Was he a child molester and the other guy?
No kidding, right?
I mean, that's got to be.
They couldn't run a Democrat who could have at least tied him.
I mean, that's the thing.
You know, Vitter was hoping that CNN reporters' memory were going to be just as poor as the people who voted him back into office.
I'd like to thank my opponent, John Wayne Bobbitt.
Great campaign.
Okay, let's go.
You know what?
And right now we just have enough time left over to go to our rant.
Dave, you have one ready for this week?
Well, not really a good one, but I do think that this Romney thing is very exciting, and I'm really enjoying this, and I feel good about it.
I was worried that Romney would be too good.
But no, I think he's turning out to be perfect.
He's good for our side.
I think he's going to be wonderful.
And I'm really enjoying watching him.
When you say good for our side, you mean.
Let me the Democratic side.
I'm an Obama voter, unlike you.
Yeah.
And I think that he cannot not say the wrong thing.
And I think it's going to be very funny, and I think it's going to be terrific.
I agree with you.
I was worried about that, too.
I was worried that Mitt Romney might make it a boring race.
He might hit all the, you know, dot all the I's and cross all the T's.
But he's got a couple of W's in there, some Z's.
Nobody likes him.
I wish Congress and Obama were on our side, but sadly, they're really not.
You know, they are in words, but when it comes right down to legislating, it's like they still keep letting corporations get away with whatever they want.
Hey, you know, so he hired the head of the Monsanto to be the head of the FDA.
Paul, you have anything to say about that?
It's sickening.
If you look at the history of what big agriculture has done with genetic engineering and patents and screwing over poor farmers all around the world, it's shameful.
The price manipulation that they've engaged in, it's not good for Americans or for farmers.
And Barack Obama appointed this guy.
Yes.
Barack Obama appointed this guy.
Let me get this straight.
Barack Obama appointed this guy.
That's right.
And it doesn't surprise me.
You know, I've given up on Barack Obama.
You know what I say?
I say, hey, at least it's a Democrat selling out our country.
Right?
At least it's a Democrat selling out our country.
Here's my rant.
My rant is from, well, I guess my rant is coming from today.
You know, I like that show, left, right, and center.
And I guess I like it for Robert Scheer mostly and to get angry at the other people on the show.
So we took Krista Freeland a task a couple weeks ago, and she said something that I thought really bared repeating.
She made an observation that I think strikes at the heart of a lot of the discomfort and the agita that has been experienced on the left over Barack Obama's way he's been governing.
She said, you know, that she makes the observation that the first three years, the first two years of his administration, the government was run by the Democrats.
And even since then, they own the Senate and the presidency, two-thirds of the government.
And yet, well, here's what she has to say.
If you look at the actual policy debate in the United States, the policies which have been passed by a government controlled by the Democrats for the first two years, they are remarkably right-wing compared to the overall global discourse.
I mean, I was really struck by a piece in the Wall Street Journal today, which celebrated the fact that America was again a wonderful place for manufacturing.
And the starting point for the excellence of America as an environment for manufacturing is that Caterpillar pays its Canadian workers more than it pays its American workers and is telling its Canadian workers they have to take a 50% pay cut to be in line with America.
Astonishing to me that America would be proud of paying its workers less than Canada.
I mean, I'm Canadian.
I thought you guys used to be proud of being richer than us.
Okay, that's what Krista Freeland has heard on Left, Right, Center.
It's too sad to even comment on that.
She hits him right on the head.
She hits the nail right on the head.
And we'll, oh, okay.
And here comes somebody, somebody say something that makes me laugh.
Rip Torn called in.
Well, actually, it's time for Rip Torn's Hollywood drunk tank.
Gather around the radio, kiddies, because Daddy's got his rocks glass and it's ready to dish.
I know what's up.
Actress Cynthia Nixon of Sex in the City Shame said recently that she chose to be a lesbian rather than acknowledging it to be her inherent sexual orientation.
The LBGT community, especially the L's and G's, are up in arms at this public contradiction of the party line.
I say settle down, folks to police.
I can personally attest her claims.
One time in an HBO mixer in 1998, I approached Miss Nixon after about 17 starts of sober.
I suggested we sneak into Bernie Brillstein's office and get to know each other better underneath his lotion credenza.
She looked at me with disgust and says, I think it's time for me to start experimenting with homosexuality.
I said, that's what I'm going for because I thought you were Ziggy Stardust.
Elsewhere, and who gives a shit, Bill, the feud between Elton John and Madonna is getting hotter than a closet full of burning polyester peacock suits.
You see, Liberace Jr. got his Justin Bieber toupee all twisted because she beat him for best song at the Golden Globes.
Poor sweetie.
Yes, you heard that correctly.
Elton John is that sensitive.

I spent a fortune on that Bernie Palpin nude suit.

To me, Moore overdosed on whippets, the most laughably juvenile drug imaginable.
Did you think that would somehow magically make you younger?
I stay young by eating buggers and putting unicorn stickers on my topper keeper.
Give me a break.
Ladies, take a page from a Redgrave or a Miran.
You can age gracefully.
You just have to put some elbow grease into it, baby.
And don't worry, at about age 55, your elbow starts secreting a grease-like substance.
Feel free to use that.
The future can be a bright, graceful, plastic surgery-free existence.
For heaven's sake, just look at Susan Saranton, but not too closely.
All right, kitties, this is Rip Torn.
reminding you that celebrities, they're just like you, except drunk and beautiful.
Okay, another like it is.
I know what's up.
