Time Text
The Jimmy Dore show starts right now.
Last week, Mitt Romney blindsided President Obama in their first debate by denying all of his previous extremely unpopular positions.
In their place, Romney explained his new positions, which were much more popular and closer to Obama's positions, which makes sense because Obama was beating him.
Apparently, Romney's strategy for the rest of the campaign is to win over people who don't realize he's changed all of his positions, specifically to win them over.
While doing this, Romney hopes to hold on to the people who already like the other Romney's extremely unpopular positions, but will vote for whichever Romney can win.
Only after victory would Romney revert back to the extremely unpopular positions the people who voted for him would never have voted for if they'd known those were his positions.
The genius of this strategy is it doesn't require any integrity.
Plus, this is too complicated to explain to an undecided voter.
In an interview this week, Diane Sawyer asked Obama if he thought Romney was a liar.
Obama didn't take the bait because if he had, the news story would have been that Obama was so desperate he had resorted to telling the truth.
The importance of debates are probably exaggerated, especially right at this moment.
The vast majority of voters already know what they think.
Most of the people who complained about Obama's performance were going to vote for him anyway.
That's why they complained.
Romney's performance was designed not for the people who are already voting for him despite what he is, but for people who need to believe he is not what everybody else knows he is.
In any case, I still don't think he's going to win Ohio.
Thank you.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the up-minded, lowly-livered lapdies.
The kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you, T-Value.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dorm!
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's episode.
We got a full house.
Everybody's back.
Cross the glass for me.
Former writer for the Daily Show, hilarious comedian Steve Rosenfield.
Hey, Steve, how are you?
Good, Jimmy.
How are you tonight?
I'm doing good.
Good to hear your voice.
Next to him from Team Rasimura, hilarious comedian Robert Yasamura and resident Japanese fellow.
How are you?
Haro.
Hello.
Across the table, it's three-time Emmy Award-winning writer and host of the David Feldman Comedy Show.
It's David Feldman.
Hi, David.
I wish I could say it's great to be here, but I can't.
Okay, and on the phone we have from Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's Frank Connoff.
Hi, Frank.
How are you?
Hey, hey, hey.
Over to my right, the host of the popular comedy podcast where they interview all the top comedians.
It's Steph Samurano from Comedy and Everything Else.
Hi, Steph.
How are you?
Hola, Heiny.
Hola to you.
Now, let's do some jokes before we get to the show.
Hey, let's do some jokes before we get to what's coming up on today's show.
You know, Mitt Romney, they asked him about his equivocating.
They asked Mitt Romney, they asked him why he's equivocating about the imprecise ambiguity of his vague flip-flops.
And you know what he said?
Well, he refused to give specifics.
Ah, that's a nice joke.
We're making it work.
Paul Ryan, hey, he had a bad debate.
We're going to get to that, but he had a bad debate.
And right now, he's out looking to get a voucher for a good debate.
There you go.
Voucher joke makes it rares its head.
Hey, and if Paul Ryan doesn't work out as vice president, Romney says he's going to replace him with Dick Sargent.
That's funny.
And my favorite part of the debate, Paul Ryan talking foreign policy is a lot like Stevie Wonder talking about silent movies.
Okay.
So what's coming up on today's show?
We're going to look into what some of the real reasons Barack Obama had such a bad performance.
We'll hear from Al Gore and Barack Obama himself calls in three times to tell us why he had such a bad performance.
Plus, we're going to take a look at Jack Welch gave a tweet about the unemployment, which was based on nothing.
And he's challenged on it by Chris Matthews.
We're going to take apart that debate between those two.
Plus, Governor Chris Christie called in because he was the one who predicted, he predicted that Mitt Romney would do a game changer.
I have to say that I am very impressed by Chris Christie.
He said the day after the presidential debate, Romney would get a big bump in the polls, and he did.
It's almost as though Chris Christie is a clairvoyant.
A clairvoyant.
A clairvoyant.
Okay, so that's coming up.
We're going to talk to Sure.
I'm living on the west side of New York, of Manhattan, and I can see the Hudson River, and I can see New Jersey.
I have a beautiful view of New Jersey from my window, but Chris Christie keeps blocking it.
Oh, Frank, I can't wait for all the new Chris Christie jokes coming out.
So that's coming up.
Plus, we're going to hear it's time for Rip Torn's Hollywood drunk tank.
Oh, wow.
It's a show.
It's coming up later.
Plus, we talked to Jack Welch, and Jim Lair is going to tell us what happened to him.
That's coming up plus a lot, lot more on today's Jimmy Dore Show.
Jimmy, it's Mary Obama.
Man, I am so sorry about last week's debate.
I feel like I let you down, buddy.
How can I make it up to you?
You want to go to the newty bar?
I'll give you a fist full of fiber if you can just go to town.
And I promise not to talk so much in the champagne room this time.
Look, I know what you'd rather have as your social security, but I just don't see it happening, bro.
Let's go down to the girlie bar, huh?
Come on.
Big titties in your face.
Who doesn't like big titties in their face?
Okay.
I'm putting off my bono hot and triangles right now.
Here's what we're going.
Potent.
Okay, that was Barack Obama's time for another installment of Oh My God.
Frank, what's the most disgusting thing you've seen so far in New York?
The most disgusting thing I've seen.
Well, I don't know if a lot of people complained about me masturbating on 14th Street.
Yeah.
So, you know, I didn't see anything as bad as that.
And are the leaves changing?
Yeah, well, I guess, well, I don't know, because I was in Central Park yesterday, and they didn't seem like they were changing, but I think you got to go upstate to really see that stuff.
Well, in the village they refer to the leaves as pre-op right now hang on who wrote that you were frank i just wrote it okay that's a good joke uh i i was worried that i might end up living in a uh in a gay neighborhood but uh luckily i'm at the corner of uh christopher street and stonewall the absolute truth all right so here is uh the oh
God segment for today.
So this is Paul Brown.
He's the congressman from Georgia.
Paul Brown from congressman from Georgia.
And he was given a speech where, of course, he didn't think it was going to get out or it was being recorded.
And here's what he has to say about the Bible and the stuff that he was taught.
He's a scientist, by the way.
He said he's been, here we go.
I've come to understand that.
All that stuff I was taught about evolution, embryology, Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of hell.
And it's lies to try to keep me and all the folks who are taught that from understanding that they need a savior.
Okay, now, could you make out what he's saying?
I wish I couldn't.
Yeah, he's saying that everything he's ever been taught about evolution, embryology, it's all been wrong because it's people trying to keep him from the understanding that they need a savior.
Hang on, he's got more to say.
You see, there are a lot of scientific data that I found out as a scientist that actually showed that this is really a young earth.
He said he's got a lot of data that he's found out as a scientist that proves this is really a young earth.
It has had work done.
He's a Christian scientist.
Little Botox along the San Andreas Fault.
The earth has had some.
It's deceptive.
Okay.
I don't believe that the earth is about 9,000 years old.
I believe it was created in six days as we know them.
That's what the Bible says.
And that's the reason is your congressman.
It's a major loon.
Yeah, he's the congressman.
Hang on.
He said, and he's saying, I hold the Holy Bible.
The Holy Bible as being the major direction to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C. And I will continue to do that.
So he said it's the major influence on how he votes in Washington, D.C. And he will continue to do that.
And he's a scientist.
He's on the science committee.
And he's on the science committee.
Oh!
Yes, he's on the science committee.
It's not a very good science committee.
He's also on the science committee.
You know who also is on that science committee is Representative Todd Akin.
Oh!
He's also on the science committee.
You going to be okay, Robert?
So, uh...
Are you kidding me?
Robert, he's testing out our first new stool, shaped like a fist.
Oh!
And how's that working out, Robert?
Oh, God!
Okay, so let's get...
Let's get...
So that's the...
That was...
And I'm guessing he's a Republican.
Yes, Representative Paul.
I don't think...
Do Democrats put up with that kind of stuff in their party?
Are they...
Do they put up with science deniers?
You never hear a Democrat talk like that.
You never hear a science denier...
Political science deniers.
Yes, they do.
They seem to do very poorly in the elections.
Um, that's all...
Frank wrote that.
By the way, if you...
Frank, you there?
This...
This guy shouldn't be...
In charge of...
He shouldn't be allowed to drive a car.
If you don't believe in the basic physics behind how your car works, you shouldn't get a car, let alone be a congressman.
Robert, I'm with you.
I'm with you.
I feel the outrage you feel.
Oh!
Well, what was his platform when he was running for office?
Hey, I think the world is flat.
I don't know.
For me?
He just...
You know...
He just believes in going by...
He just believes in going by the strict things of the way our founding fathers, the way they wrote it in the Bible.
go frank this has been oh my god oh my god the jimmy door show is available as a podcast for free on iTunes or for other ways to subscribe go to jimmydoorcomedy.com and while you're there you can listen to past episodes and you can comment on them too remember Jimmy spells his last name D-O-R-E JimmyDoorcomedy.com okay
so what was the bad performance what was it all about last week well here we got some uh Al Gore has an idea of what was behind Barack Obama's poor performance when you go to 5,000 feet exactly and you only have a few hours to adjust that's interesting I don't know maybe yeah maybe you know leave it to Al Gore to blame everything on climate change okay that's a very good joke and another joke about that go ahead Frank people are making fun of Al Gore for
that, but yet Romney wants the next debate to take place in the Swiss Alps.
So he could be near his money.
You know what, Frank?
That is true.
That actually, I was just in Indianapolis last week, and we had to change planes in Denver, and in between gates 36 and 37, I forgot how Social Security works.
Okay, so that was Al Gore's excuse.
You've heard Barack Obama's first excuse.
Here's actually Barack Obama.
Let's get right to his second excuse, because I'd like to hear it.
It's Barry again.
Secret Service says no go on the titty bar.
Still, I feel terrible.
I mean, I was just too polite during the debate.
Like, he kept lying about shit, and I just looked at him like, I'm glad you think that.
That woman motherfucker comes right back in my grill with the same ass liar.
And then I think I may have pressed him to drink for him.
You know, at one point, I almost reached over and gave Romney one of those Bush on Merkel macros.
I must be sitting down.
Okay, that's the second phone call from Barack Obama.
Okay, so let's get it.
Here's what Joe, here's what David Axelrod said was the problem.
And let's, the important part here, he's on Face the Nation.
So he was on Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer.
And I just want to say that I have faced the nation, and I found it lacking.
Okay?
So here's what David Axelrod had to say to Bob Schieffer about what was wrong with the performance.
And he kind of focuses on Mitt Romney's line.
But listen to Bob Schieffer's reaction.
Well, what happened was the president showed up with the intent of answering questions and having a discussion, an honest discussion about where we go as a country.
And Governor Romney showed up to deliver a performance.
And he delivered a very good performance.
It was completely unrooted in fact.
was completely unrooted in the positions he's taken before and he spent 90 minutes trying to undo two years of campaigning on that stage but he did it very well what are uh oh hang on i fucked up sorry god damn it i'd say that that's a pretty accurate assessment of it is i think That's how you win.
You know, a lot of people who listened to the debate, not watched it, but listened to it on the radio.
Sutton Nixon won.
Yeah.
And he's been dead for 18 years.
It was the same.
It was the same.
That's funny.
What happened was the president showed up with the intent of answering questions and having a discussion, an honest discussion about where we go as a country.
And Governor Romney showed up to deliver a performance, and he delivered a very good performance.
It was completely unrooted.
In fact, it was completely unrooted in the positions he's taken before.
And he spent 90 minutes trying to undo two years of campaigning on that stage, but he did it very well.
Are you saying that Governor Romney lied?
Are you saying that the incredulity in his voice?
It's like, hey, I want to say, hey, Bob Schaefer, guess what?
Yes, politicians lie.
That's not the Romney I know.
The Pope is Catholic and the bears shit in the woods.
He spent his entire life hosting Face the Nation.
And at the end of his life, he looks incredulous that a guy running for president might have laughed.
Hey, he's doing his best impression of my mother.
Are you reading those magazines?
Yes, Frank.
Jimmy, wait a minute.
Are you saying that?
Are you really saying that bears have digestive systems?
I am saying that.
Yes, I'm saying that.
Oh, well, I know, you know, that's a pretty reckless charge.
So now here's.
And I want to have the facts to back that up.
When Mitt Romney's on with Bob Schieffer, it's called Too Face.
It's a little pun that I did for Frank.
Nice.
Very, very funny.
Frank, did you like that?
Yes, I did enjoy that very much.
Do you miss me?
I do.
By the way, did Bob Schaefer?
I listened to all the fact checkers almost immediately after the thing, after the debate, and they were saying, well, this is wrong and this is wrong and this is wrong.
Did Schieffer not?
Apparently not, Robert.
Senior journalist, Bob Schieffer.
They made a hole.
The issue is not whether Romney lied, but whether Axelrod was going to say that he lied, because it always comes down to you're going to say that they lied.
Yeah, that's them saying that they lied, which is the point.
That's the news.
And we've talked about this before.
It's so hard for a journalist to call out a lie when it's a lie.
Tom Brokhog used the term overreach over and over.
And, you know, I've made the point that, yes, that's what people, when they look to their newsmen, they say, please soft pedal the facts.
That's what they say.
And, you know, so they won't.
And my other theory is that if they did start actually saying the word lie when someone lied, they would have to say it every day, all day, and it wouldn't mean anything.
So maybe that's why they don't do it.
So, but here is Bob Schaefer's been giving, he had a half-hour show.
He was the only guy who had a half-hour morning show, but they extended it recently and they gave him an extra.
He's doing so good, they gave him an extra half hour.
He has a full hour to talk about.
You know why it was only a half hour?
For years, everybody thought it was an hour.
Really?
That's only a half hour.
Boy, you do a great job of making this seem a lot longer.
So let's see what he did with the extra half hour of time to talk about this.
Here's how he introduced the show last Sunday.
Today on Face the Nation, what a difference a debate makes.
The president's top strategist, David Axelrod, is with us this morning.
We'll ask him about it.
And we'll hear from conservative columnist John Fund and Michael Gerson of the Washington Post.
Analysis from our own Nora O'Donnell and John Vickers.
Okay, so that sounds pretty good so far.
So it's the first half hour.
Okay, like a regular show.
Now let's get into the second half hour.
This is the extra half hour.
Then, with the baseball postseason underway and Washington's team headed to the playoffs for the first time in 79 years, we'll talk baseball with the Dodgers legendary Tommy LaSorda.
Tony LaRussa, manager of last year's world champion St. Louis Cardinals, Jane Levy, who literally wrote the book on Mickey Mantle, and Peter Gammons of the MLB Network.
It's Vanderup from Face the Nation.
Oh, thank God that Bob Schaefer is going to cover sports because ESPN 46 is going to be off the air for five minutes later today.
And I didn't want to make sure I got it in.
Go ahead.
No, I don't blame him because anybody who watches Face the Nation, sometimes it gets a little too inside baseball.
Wait a minute.
So he had Tommy LaSorda and the woman who wrote the book about Mickey Mail.
Then did they get you talking about whether Johnson was Lippy Goldwater or not?
See, this is they're talking about old baseball news, is what you're saying, Frank.
That's the joke there.
I want to let you know David Feldman didn't laugh at it.
Didn't laugh.
That was funny.
I had trouble hearing you.
Can I just say that Barack Obama gave another excuse of why he was bad at the debate?
And he was on Tom Joyner's news show, Tom Joyner's morning radio show.
He's doing morning zoo shows now, Barack Obama.
He won't sit down with Sam Stein from the Huffington Post, but he's going to talk to Tom Joyner for three hours.
And he said it was because he was too polite.
He was being too polite.
And if you keep, after you correct somebody so many times, it gets repetitive, as opposed to.
You know, the only pundit who said Obama did well was Emily Post.
That's great.
Now tell me why that's funny.
Emily Post wrote the book on manners.
Oh, that's what I thought.
Okay.
And he used the right fork when he was eating Crow.
Nice.
Not funny, but nice.
Barack Obama was smart.
It was smart.
But frankly, Barack Obama said he was being too polite.
Yeah, mind you, he did have all the answers to Romney's lies and distortions.
He just didn't think bringing them up at a debate was the right time.
He said he didn't want to keep saying, what you're saying isn't true.
So instead, he said, I'm sure Governor Romney cares as much as I do about saving Social Security.
That's almost the same thing.
That's exactly what he did.
I didn't want to be repetitive.
I decided to be half-assed and dull.
Didn't you hear at the end of the debate when Obama said, Governor Romney, I plan to write you a very strongly worded letter.
As a married man, I can relate to Barack Obama.
How so, David?
Because it was like arguing with my wife.
How so?
That, you know, Romney would say, you raise taxes on the middle class.
And I'd say, no, I didn't.
And then Romney would say, you're sleeping with my sister.
And I'd say, what are you talking about?
She needed a ride.
It was just all over the place.
It was like a marital spat.
You're saying that the next presidential debate will be like makeup sex.
I hope so.
It's always better.
I just think that Barack was trying to throw Romney off.
He was expecting Barack to be good.
So it was a very, really weird.
And he went the other way with it.
Yeah, Barack was, he didn't want to look arrogant, so he decided to look like he didn't know how to debate.
It just, you know, he wasn't arrogant.
No, he was doing a dopa-dope.
This is what Ali was afraid to do.
The dopa-dope.
The dopa-dope.
We're having a moment of silence for that joke.
That was a great joke.
Oh, that's good stuff.
Okay, you know, guess what?
Barack Obama called in one more time.
He called in three times.
Oh, wow.
Can you believe it?
Here's his third time.
He's going to let me know what happened.
Jimmy, you don't want to be bullshit.
I have a bad thing.
I came in flapping, and no amount of thruster was going to do it.
All right, it happened.
You know what I got to do?
I got to grow, Parr.
Get back in my bedroom and break the phone.
I'm a rock booking Obama, man.
Leader of the free world.
This plumbing works, my brother.
When I'm done with that next debate, that guy's weird underwear is going to be torn open, and he won't be able to walk for a week.
Do you hear me wrong, man?
You better kick your horsey Waskabar because he won't be of any use to any woman ever again when I'm finished with you.
Wait, am I still talking about the debate?
He's a genius.
He is a fucking genius.
Robert Robert Rossenberg wrote those calls.
Thank you for that.
Let's talk about Frank Conniff.
Frank Conniff is a genius.
That's great.
That was good.
This plumbing works.
You wrote that?
Boy, have you ever thought of switching sides and coming over to my show?
Okay, before we move on, the second half of the show, we've got a lot of stuff coming up, but I got to play one more phone call because Jim Lair, actually, I gave me a phone call.
I wanted to ask him about, because here's the day, but what did you have to say about Jim Lair's debate performance?
I thought he sucked.
Yeah, it wasn't good.
I thought he was serious.
I was glad they want to cut funding for the PBS.
After that.
After that performance.
Well, he's saying now, if you haven't heard what, have you heard his excuse?
Hang on, let me go.
His performance was so lackluster.
He's going to be the new host of Prairie Home Companion.
He's defending himself now.
He was saying that it was his job to get out of the way.
That's what Jim Lehrer was saying.
It's my job to get out of the way.
I want that job.
And he said it was good that they, once Mitt Romney talked over him, then Barack engaged me goes.
And then I realized, hey, they're actually talking.
And this has never happened at a debate before.
So I thought it was really groundbreaking.
So he's really putting a spin on this.
And so I actually got him.
I called him up, and this is what he had to say.
Joining me now is the moderator of this past week's debate, veteran newsman Jim Laird.
Mr. Lair, how are you doing?
I'm doing fine, Jimmy.
I've been getting a bit too much attention from iTaste, so I decided to lay low and hide where no one can find me.
Where's that, Mr. Lair?
My PBS show.
You've gotten a lot of criticism for your performance at the debate.
You've been hearing it, right?
Well, that's just it, Jimmy.
I'm sick of performing like a trained SEAL for people.
I don't have to be on all the time.
Well, you certainly weren't on during the debate, Jim.
My technique when I moderate a debate is to get out of the candidate's way.
In other words, you don't say much?
No, I mean, I literally got out of their way.
I left the stage about 15 minutes in and didn't return until the wrap-up.
What were you for most of the debate, Jim?
Oh, I went to a nearby clinic and got collagen injections for the bags under my eyes.
It takes a lot of work to keep that big and coffee like that all the time, you know.
I did, you know, I didn't know that, buddy.
But, you know, a lot of people were displeased with the job you did, Jim.
And some are saying it's time for you to actually retire.
Retire?
Yeah.
Hell, I retired years ago.
Have you ever watched the news hour?
Don't look like a guy who's actually showed up for work since 1981.
Well, you know, now that you mentioned it, I get it.
If you want to make it as a broadcast network journalist, there's one essential tip I can give you.
What's that, Jim?
Learn to sleep with your eyes open.
Okay.
The Washington anchors who go on TV in a state of consciousness are the ones who don't last.
But the professional walking dead like me, Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson, Tom Brokaw, we go on and on and on.
We're like the Energizer Bunny, except without the energy or the integrity or any curiosity about anything outside of our soothing seven-figure beltway bubble.
I'm getting relaxed just thinking about it.
Oh, it sounds like you're about ready for a nap, Jim.
Well, yes, you're right.
I am due to begin taping my nightly news show in a minute.
I better get going, Jimmy.
Thanks for joining us, Mr. Lair.
Lick my rich white taint, you cold-smoking douche.
Okay, that's Jim Blair.
Okay, that was Jim Lair.
And we're up against a break coming up on the next half hour.
We're going to talk about Jack Welch's tweet, the vice presidential debate.
We're going to hear from Rip Torn.
And I want to remind everybody who's listening to the show.
If you're in the Los Angeles area, you know, we do shows around Los Angeles all the time.
And our next show, get this.
It's going to be the Saturday before the election.
We're doing the big stand-up election pre-election show at the improv in Hollywood on Melrose and Crescent Heights in the main room.
That's Saturday night, November 3rd.
Two shows, 8 and 10.
It's the big stand-up show.
The pre-election stand-up show at the improv.
I'll be headlining that show.
David Feldman will be on that show, plus a lot of other people that you know and love.
But most importantly, I'll be there.
That's November 3rd.
It's the Saturday before, the Saturday before the election.
And there's a link for tickets at my website, JimmyDoorComedy.com.
And you spell my last name, D-O-R-E.
There's links.
There's a link for tickets right there.
Tickets very affordable.
Okay, this is the Jimmy Dore show.
We're up against a break.
We'll be right back in one minute.

So that we'll talk a little bit about there's another way to help support the show with the Sherry Strawberries.
We'll talk about it later.
Okay, but right now, let's get back to more fun funny with the Jimmy Dore show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome back to the Jimmy Door Show.
Coming up, I'm sitting in the studio.
I'm joined by former writer from The Daily Show.
It's Steve Rosenfield, hilarious comedian Robert Yasimura, former writer for Bill Maher and the Daily Show, and three-time Emmy Award-winning writer.
It's David.
I almost said it's David Feldman, ladies and gentlemen.
And on the phone.
Jimmy, I'd like to say how great it is to see you.
It's great to see you too, David.
I'd like to say that.
I know.
Also, on the phone.
I would like to say it.
On the phone from Mystery Science.
I have to speak the truth.
When I look at you, David, I see I'm reminded of things that never were.
On the phone from Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's TV's Frank, Frank Conniff.
And next to me, the host of the popular comedy podcast, Comedy and Everything Else, it's our resident Latina, Steph Zamarano.
What's coming up on the second half of the Jimmy Dore show?
We're going to talk about Jack Welch and his crazy tweet and the way he talked about it with Chris Matthews.
Plus, the vice presidential debate happened, and we're going to talk about that and Rip Torn's Hollywood drunk take.
All right, now let's talk about Jack Welch.
So Jack Welch put out a tweet, right?
So the unemployment numbers have been steadily falling for months, right?
So 8.6 to 8.4 to 8.2.
So they were at 8.2, right?
And now they dropped to 7.8%.
It got under 8%.
It's lower.
The unemployment rate is now officially lower than when Barack Obama took office, which is kind of amazing considering that he's only been ever able to implement half measures.
The new job figures came out, right, from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which you can't mess with, by the way.
You can't mess with impossible.
Nixon tried to get with those.
Nobody can get to those numbers, right?
Those are all, they're all put together the same way.
And nobody ever complained about the numbers when they were in the 8%, 9%, 10%.
So what happened was on Thursday, was it Thursday they came out with that?
No, on Friday, they came out with a statistic that the unemployment rate is now 7.8.
Jack Welch, then Drake Welch, former CEO of General Electric, war profiteer, and a man who dumped PCBs into the Hudson.
Never cleaned it up.
And never cleaned it up, never cleaned it up.
He tweeted unbelievable job numbers.
These Chicago guys will do anything.
Can't debate, so change numbers.
Let me just say, if Obama could...
At least a million two.
I find that very suspicious.
I find those numbers probably are inflated.
This is that interesting.
If Obama could change the unemployment number that easily, why didn't he just make it 5.6% unemployment and totally slam dunk the election?
I mean, he's so dumb, Obama, that he forgot to rig the unemployment numbers before the 2010 election.
What an idiot.
He would only wait.
And Jack Welch proves he's not just, it's not just homeless people on the street corners who have paranoid delusions.
It's also former CEOs of major corporations.
You know, if the Chicago guys were any more cold-blooded, they'd be Jack Welch.
Let me put it that way.
Okay.
When I think of Chicago boys, I think of Milton Friedman and all the followers of Hayek who tanked our economy.
Right.
The guys who implemented this trickle-down economy and just the idea that he says the Chicago guys will do anything.
Unlike Mitt Romney, who only lied about all his previous positions so he could win the debate.
Other than that.
In Jack Welch's defense, when he speaks of the Chicago boys, he means Peter Cetera.
I actually don't get that.
Okay.
Peter Siter.
Really?
Peter Sotera was the last lead singer of Chicago, and he was also a founding member.
Yes, he was a singer.
Peter Sitera and his sister, Et, etc.
Oh, she was in the king and I. All right, so here is Jack Welch, and he's being confronted by Chris Matthews.
These Chicago guys will do anything, so they change the numbers.
What evidence do you have that they got to the BOS?
Chicago guys got to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Jimmied these numbers by 0.3%, as you put it.
Jimmy.
I have no evidence to prove that.
I just raised the question.
Yeah, he's just raising questions, you know, in the form of a declarative sentence.
You know, that's the way all the kids are doing it today.
Hey, Jack, I've got a question for you.
You're an asshole.
That's my question.
Can you answer it?
So they changed the number.
You're asserting here in your tweet that you put out at 8.35 this morning, five minutes after the report came out.
Did you talk to any economists or any people in the national income accounting world that understood how these numbers were put together before you accused these Chicago guys of changing the numbers?
The answer to that question is no.
He didn't talk to anybody before.
So they put out this report at like 7:30 in the morning.
Jack Welch tweets at 7.35.
These numbers are rigged.
So Chris Matthews, did you do any research in those five minutes?
Did you talk to anybody?
And here's his answer.
Chris, I know that these numbers are gathered by a series of wild assumptions.
Unlike my tweet, which was based on nothing.
Unlike that, yes.
In his defense, though, I just want to say when he says Chicago guys, he's talking about Richard Gere and A. Zellweger and the chick who's married to Michael Douglas.
In his defense.
Well, in his defense, I'm sure Jack's frustrated.
I mean, Romney's all ready to save the economy, and the economy improves just despite him.
Okay, he's got some.
Go ahead.
In his defense, it's been hard to get rid of the Chicago guys ever since Elliot Nash left the board.
Wild assumptions.
Maybe they weren't right at 8.5.
Maybe they weren't right at 8.4.
But it seems coincidental that one month before the election, they would end up at 7.8.
Yeah, it seems coincidental.
It does.
You know what doesn't seem coincidental that when there's good economic news that might help the president, you kind of try to shit on it and try to that that's not coincidental.
Is that a coinky dink, Jack Welch?
Would that be a voice like that?
Can you imagine?
He ran General Electric.
you imagine getting a call from him when he when he yelled at you that must have people I think he should be promoted to colonel elector.
He's got more to say.
We'll do anything.
So they changed the numbers.
Do you want to take that back?
No, this is an assertion that there was Jimmy with these numbers.
There was corruption here.
An infiltration or getting to the...
You're talking about the president of the United States playing with the Bureau of Behavioral Statistics numbers.
This is Nixon stuff.
This is what Nixon did back in the old days.
He accused him of doing this.
Chris, don't lose it now.
I like that.
I like that.
Chris Matthews accurately describing exactly what he's doing.
You're doing Nixoni.
Hey, don't lose it now, Chris.
Chris, cut it out.
Why are you accurately describing what I'm doing?
Yeah, that's that.
Okay, so he's got more to say.
So you assert as of now, five o'clock this afternoon.
These Chicago guys will do anything.
They can't debate.
So they change.
I said what they did.
I said that they'd do anything.
He didn't say what they did.
I just said they do anything.
You know what?
It's a real profile encourage from Jack Welch today, huh?
Talk about standing behind your tweet.
This guy, how could this, this is a CEO behavior?
What a weasel.
I mean, this is the guy they see as a titan of capitalism, and this guy's getting taken apart by Chris.
He can't even, he wasn't have the integrity to either A, stand for his tweet or B, or take it back.
140 characters.
So he won't stand behind 140 characters worth of information that he put out into the world.
Well, he won't take it back, the tweet, but what he won't, what he will do is then kind of obfuscate for 15 minutes about it.
Okay, he's got more to say.
Hang on.
Speaking of 140 characters, Frank Connopp's one-man show, Silverado, premieres at UCV Friday in New York.
And you should all catch it.
It's fantastic.
They've been calling Mitt Romney a liar, a falsehood, for the last 48 hours after the debate.
Okay.
Okay, so I don't know what that has to do with anything.
He just threw that in there.
I think that Jack Welsh on Twitter was just trying to get as many followers as Chris Hardwick.
Okay, there's more.
Do you want to take it back, Jack?
But you don't have any independent evidence.
You didn't get any evidence between the nine, the time the numbers came out this morning at 8.30 and 8.35 when you tweeted.
You didn't use that five minutes to gather any actual information or evidence.
Nobody was corruption these numbers.
But Chris, I tweeted last night that I predicted that'd be at 7.9.
So that's his answer to the question, did you get any Ed Martin?
No, Chris, I predicted it's that's some of the most nonsensical thing I've ever heard.
Here it is.
But you don't have any independent evidence.
You didn't get any evidence between the nine the time the numbers came out this morning at 8.30 and 835 when you tweeted.
You didn't use that five minutes to gather any actual information or evidence to a corruption these numbers.
By Chris, I tweeted last night that I predicted that'd be at 7.9.
And the Chicago guys made it 7.8 just to piss you off.
What is he talking about?
So if you predicted it would be 7.9, it comes in one-tenth of a percent lower, and you all of a sudden thinks it's that what he's saying doesn't make sense to me.
Does it make sense to anybody?
I think Chris Matthews took his tweet out of context.
You know, say what you want about Jack Welch, but he did some really good work, has had a lollipop guilt.
Yes, he did.
He's got more to say.
Okay.
And why did you make that prediction?
Because I guess that's what would happen a month before the election.
So you guessed that the Chicago guys would do this.
But he's not saying they did it, but he guessed that they would do it.
Yeah, I'm not saying they did it.
I just tweeted that they did it.
I predicted they would do it.
I'm standing by what I said, but I'm not saying they did.
But I'm standing by what I said, but I'm not saying that they said it.
And some of the real screwballs out there are following the bands you're leading.
And the band you put together today was that there's corruption here that the Chicago people, meaning the guys around President Obama, got to the BOS and manipulated the number.
Stop it now.
Yeah, Chris, stop it now.
I'm sick and tired of you explaining what I did.
It's bothering me.
Would you please stop it?
It's like Jack.
Soma Dodge, stop this.
You mean it's a coincidence?
Or do you mean you have evidence that there was corruption here?
There's no evidence of corruption.
None whatsoever.
Okay, so these Chicago guys had nothing to do with the number coming out.
I don't know that.
Ah, see?
See what he does there?
Isn't that exactly what they tell little kids you're not allowed to do?
You're not allowed to point the finger at someone unless you're willing to stand behind what you're pointing the finger at.
I mean, that is the most gutless thing.
That is the weaseliest thing I think I've ever seen.
Oh, so here's the part where they have to tell each other how much they like each other.
Yeah, ready?
On the face of it, we don't have this GGDP.
I love you, but you can't get this.
I think you're a great, brilliant businessman in some ways.
In fact, I do wish you were in charge of my stock options these days because you made a lot of money for us here.
You're great.
I love you.
And you didn't pay taxes.
And we didn't pay taxes.
We polluted the Hudson.
We didn't have to pay for that.
We all made money.
I love you, Jack.
You're a great guy.
You're a lion prick, too.
Here we go.
Okay, so let's wrap it up with one more from Jack Welch.
There is no evidence of corruption.
None whatsoever.
None whatsoever.
So you want to take back that tweet then, Jack?
Do you want to take back the charge?
No, I don't know.
There was corruption here.
I don't want to take back one word in that tweet.
Yeah, I just want to keep saying this stuff that is unmitigated bullshit and keep repeating it.
And so hopefully the right wing starts to believe it.
That's all that is.
Right, Frankie, anything to say before I play?
He was just giving Fox news and the right wing a talking point.
He said that.
He was the first one.
And then suddenly it became a thing that they were all doing.
It's the world of bullshit that we live in now.
So there's this parallel universe that the right wing sets up.
And so no matter what happens in reality, they have this alternate reality.
So like when Ann Coulter comes on TV and they say, hey, your book's full of lies and falsehoods.
And she says, no, it's all footnoted.
What she cites are right-wing websites and talk shows on the right.
And she'll cite something Sean Hannity said.
So there aren't real, you know, they're just bogus.
Well, the thing is, is Jack Welsh wasn't just on Chris Matthews.
He was on a ton of TV shows that day saying the same thing.
And he's being a total crackpot, and yet he's being given a forum by anyone, any show he wants to go on.
He can go on.
And say it.
I can guarantee you he's going to be on the meet the press panel as a real respected pundit.
His respectability among these people is not going to go down one bit.
Not one bit.
It won't be diminished.
He's not going to, he'll still be invited to every party on Malfus Vineyard next summer.
So here I actually called Jack Welch.
I got him a phone call because I had some stuff to say to him.
We're joined now by former CEO of General Electric.
It's Jack Welch.
Hey, Jack, thanks for joining us, buddy.
Jimmy, I have no idea where you are.
I have no idea why I'm here.
Thank you for having me.
Mr. Welch, I'd like to.
Please call me Jack.
Really?
No.
Of course.
Jack Welch, the most important man that ever lived.
Call me, Mr. Welcher.
Get the fuck out of my automatic.
Sorry, I just wanted to ask you about your statement that the better-than-expected job numbers were cooked by Obama's team in Chicago.
Get them right there!
And if you ever saw that T quarterly reports when I was there, you have no doubt that I knew something about cooking, Jimmy.
Wait, you're saying that the earnings report when you ran GE were fabricated?
I never said that!
I don't know how dare you make reckless cards without any proof!
But isn't that what you just did when you said the jobs report was fake?
Why?
Because I'm Jack Welch!
I'm too rich to be warned.
What?
You're too real kind of bull.
Don't lose it now, Jimmy.
You lose it.
Don't lose it.
You're losing it.
I'm not losing it, buddy.
I'm just asking you straight questions.
Don't lose it, Jimmy.
He's starting to remind me of Donald Trump.
Trump?
He's a douchebag.
That whole Obama was born in America thing.
I came up with this.
We were all public.
I mean, the Dubos Conference.
And I said something about, how Obama must be a foreigner because, well, come on.
He's good.
And the next day, on the view, Trump played with it.
And he never acknowledged that it was my best.
So I did this job report truth that they got gave me before Captain Comova could steal it.
Don't lose it, Jimmy.
Don't lose it.
Mr. Welsh, I know you're super wealthy and you don't have to answer to anybody, but don't you have any qualms about any of the awful things you've done?
Hey, Jimmy, I hate me.
I'm just a regular Catholic.
You know it, and I know that one day I'm gonna have to meet my naked.
And I pray every night that when that time comes, the good Lord will forgive me for my transgression.
Your transgression, you mean being a war profiteer and dishonest businessman?
No!
I mean giving Jay Leono the tonight show!
Oh, that's right.
You were the CEO of GE and GEO and NBC when all that stuff went down.
And I asked my police for absolution, Jimmy.
But he had just watched the Jay Walking segment, Jimmy.
Well, Jack Leach, I really appreciate you taking time out and talking with us, you know, or screaming at the top of your listening to your speaker voice.
I appreciate it.
Be my asshole, you tadboggling shitbag.

Okay, so we're back.
I'm joined in studio by Steve Rosenfield, Robert Yasimura, David Feldman.
We have Frank Conniff on the phone, and Steph Zamarano from Comedy and Everything Else is with us.
And let's talk about the vice presidential debate.
I think Biden kicked his ass.
I think it was nice to see somebody who had some passion and who would be dismissive when someone says something that was worthy of being dismissed.
So here, I'm going to give you real quick.
I watched Fox News, and here's what they had to say about it.
Here's what Joe Trippy said.
Joe Trippy, you remember Joe Trippy?
Howard Dean's.
Howard Dean's campaign manager.
But I don't know about the likability of that smirking and some of the.
But I don't know about the likability of that smirking and some of the and how he sort of overdid.
I think it was condescending.
I found it condescending and overdone.
So he found Joe Biden to be condescending.
Joe Trippy, the guy who ran Howard Dean, found Joe Biden to be condescending.
Can you believe that?
Okay, so I can believe he's getting a paycheck from Fox.
Yeah.
And it's also really something that, you know, he managed Howard Dean's campaign, and Howard Dean was vilified for something really stupid when he supposedly screamed, which he didn't really do, and it was no big deal, but a huge deal of it was made in the media.
And now he's doing the same thing.
Now that he's on the other side of the table, he's doing the, yes, he's doing the exact same thing that Joe Biden, pretending that something is a gaffe that isn't a gaffe.
Yes.
Yes, it was not a gaff.
Okay, so here's another guy named Steve Hayes.
So he was asked on Fox News here.
There was a moment.
I've been talking about the demeanor.
There was a moment at the very end, maybe when most voters weren't paying as close attention.
Paul Ryan started his closing statement and gave what I thought was a very sincere thank you to Martha Raddix, to the crowd, and to Joe Biden.
And when he thanked Joe Biden, Biden was smirking.
And I just thought that came across as very disrespectful and sort of symbolic of the way that Joe Biden handled the rest of the night.
Okay, no, I remember that moment.
Do you guys remember that moment?
So when he said that, when he said, I really want to sincerely thank you, Mr. Biden, for this debate, I thought that was the, I immediately tweeted totally believable, because it was the most unbelievable thing he had said all night.
I didn't believe it for a second.
I thought it was kind of funny almost because he laid it on so extra thick, Paul Ryan.
It's like, hey, thanks, be nice.
Hey, thanks for the debate.
But don't pretend that you genuinely appreciate him showing up to try to clean your clock.
Well, the idea that Biden was being really condescending to this guy who was lying constantly.
Constantly, yes.
You know, it just seems like it's okay to lie to the American public as long as you have manners.
Yes, you have to be dignified about lying and bending me over.
I mean, here's Greta Fan Sustern.
Here's her take on it.
Ryan was respectful.
He said, thanks, Joe, at the end.
He was polite, respectful.
So Ryan's all respectful.
And that's what matters to conservatives.
You can show the proper deference to authority.
But the smiles, the sneers, and the my friend stuff, I was surprised.
It made Vice President Joe Biden, someone who I typically like, I thought he was very unlikable.
I thought he was, I was surprised that I didn't like him.
That's such a lot of horseshit because Biden was great and they're latching on to some superficial stuff.
You know, I couldn't agree with you guys.
By the way, the Democratic Party is not the same party where the Oklahoma governor put her finger in the face of the president.
Right.
Arizona, Arizona.
Teresa Brewer.
Right.
Oh, no, the Oklahoma governor wouldn't even meet with her.
So here's Chris Wallace.
Here's how he saw the debate tonight.
Few minutes.
I don't believe that I have ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful of the other as Biden was to Paul Ryan tonight.
And that's what it was.
You can talk about the smirks, the smiles, the head shaking, the mugging.
It was openly contemptuous and disrespectful.
And it wasn't just the facial gestures.
It was also the words.
Listen, he's upset about the words.
It's typical of bullies.
And by the way, it's okay if it were the other way around.
They would be saying, oh, Ryan was forceful.
Yes.
He was in command.
Yes.
And Biden seemed weak and ineffectual.
It's typical bullying.
That's exactly what they would have said about Obama last week if he'd been more aggressive.
He said He wasn't respectful to Romney.
That's what they would have said.
Yes, but it'll be better.
Well, here's what he said.
Listen to the words he's upset about.
Just as well, the words.
In the course of the night, he dismissed various arguments by Ryan as malarkey.
Oh, my God.
Malarkey.
Malaki.
Bunch of stuff.
Bunch of stuff.
This is great.
He said bunch of stuff.
I don't know what these guys are talking about.
That also is somehow bad to Chris Wallace.
Let's hear it again all in a row, ready?
He dismissed various arguments by Ryan as malarkey.
Bunch of stuff.
I don't know what these guys are talking about.
Loose talk and bluster.
Can you say stuff on TV?
Can you say stuff?
I believe that.
What have we come to?
Bluster.
He was upset that he used the word bluster.
What are these guys talking about?
Obama was crucified for not being tough enough.
And then Biden, who cleans his clock, gets criticized for this.
That's ridiculous.
That's pretty odd.
People like to say that Chris Wallace, he's a real newsman over there.
He's the real newsman.
Yeah, because every once in a while, he will take the crazies and put them back into the barn.
Every once in a while, he'll do that.
But this is just as crazy as anything that anybody's ever said.
That is the party line.
That is the Fox News party line.
Did you see that?
He had to find.
But it's not just his jet, the words.
He said malarkey and stuff.
You know, and they're not outraged about the factually incorrect information that Ryan is spewing.
You know, they're just upset about malarkey.
They're upset about malarkey, literally.
But you know what?
I will say in the defense that, you know, they said that he that Biden did too much mugging.
And, you know, even Ed Wynn thought he was doing too much.
And Joe Biden handed it to him numerous times, but my favorite time was when he pointed out to Ryan that, in fact, didn't he write him two letters requesting?
Requesting stimulus funds.
Yes, that was great.
That was great.
Yeah, those are.
My favorite part, too.
So that's the debate.
We'll get more into it.
Two Irish Catholic guys going.
They took it outside afterwards.
Oh, man.
In the parking lot.
Yeah, if Martha Raditz had any balls, she would say, tell me what you think of your opponent's sister.
I'd like to see two Irish Catholic guys debating each other's sisters and see where we went with that.
And she did great.
I thought she was.
She was fantastic.
She actually did do a problem.
She did follow-up questions and held Ryan accountable for his.
Is that an answer?
Go ahead, Frank.
But I didn't like a couple of her questions, like, you know, asking about their, how does your faith affect yourself?
I thought the abortion thing was great because it forced Ryan to say, I'm pro-life, and, you know, women who'd hate that.
So that was, which, like, Obama didn't get to say that last week.
So I thought that was great.
Well, you know what?
When you forced.
He got forced to say that Romney favors abortion in the case of rape and incest.
Yes.
And that's important.
Yes, that is important.
That is important.
Okay, so I think the debate is...
I think that this, you know, that's the Southern strategy.
Yes.
Because they're all incest victims.
So, Frank, are you there?
The Southern strategy to prevent abortions.
The Southern strategy is fucking someone in the ass.
Wow.
In the South, in the South.
You know what?
But I also was, I was really happy that Joe Biden would look in the camera and talk directly to seniors.
Yes, very good.
Listen, folks.
I love what he does.
Listen to me, folks.
Are you out there?
Yes.
All right?
I love that.
So I guess it's a win.
And then, of course, the right wing is going to create their own parallel universe like they like to.
So, you know what?
I think they're going to really get their clock cleaned on this election.
I think guys like Joe Walsh, who's running against Hammy Duckworth, he's a teabagger.
I think a lot of the teabaggers are going to end up losing, even though they re when they did win, it was a census year and they re-gerrymandered so they can keep their seats.
I think that a lot of the teabaggers are going to end up losing, and we're going to see a little bit more of a sane party after Barack Obama wins this election again.
I think we will see.
They're going to have to be forced to work together.
Well, you know, this might be a little bit finger-crossing, but I think Barack Obama can shame them into working.
He's been able to win a couple of battles recently.
I don't know if you've noticed.
Okay, tough battles.
But guess what time it is, Rick?
Are you recording?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, I think we'll record it.
You're going to fuck this up, Archie.
You fucking high motherfucker.
You're not going to end up recording any of this if you put your ticket up.
But shut up.
We're starting.
It's time for Rick Torn's Hollywood drunk tag.
Well, are you ready to go?
Yes, rolling tape.
Say the thing.
I know what's up.
Gather out, sweetie.
It's just daddy drunk and ready to dish.
Saying so.
Fabled Hollywood micro couple, Danny DeVito and Rhea Sorlman have called it quits after 32 years of marriage.
The entertainment world is shocked.
And understandably so.
Ask any physicist.
Usually, to break the bonds of two things that small, you need a hadron collider.
That seems to be amicable.
Rhea reportedly wanted to spend more time with her new project, fronting a Roddy James Dio tribute house band at Circus Circus on the Las Vegas Press, as well as insulting Shelly Log into a mirror.
Danny looks forward to focusing on his project of drinking profusely.
In fact, I better hurry this up.
He's on the way over right now.
We're going to work some Love and Fellows pretty hard.
And then he's going to try and climb inside of my navel.
At least that's what past history would indicate.
Anything for a buddy on the skin.
Scandal at Buckingham Palace.
The British royals are all a titter about telephoto lens gate, which incidentally is also a London neighborhood near the Docklands.
Several weeks ago, an Irish newspaper published stopless photos of Kate Middleton, and that the entire nation was shocked by the sight of breasts without green veins or freckles.
Good God, perhaps they were right to conquer us.
And as if that weren't insult enough, a Danish newspaper published the bottomless pics from the same role and didn't even have the decency to put a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad over her mouth.
Praise be upon him.
That's it.
But this is too far.
We commoners have no right to gaze upon that mystical gateway through which the future kings of England will be teleported into this dimension.
I admit I have a personal affinity For the royal family.
Back in the 60s, when I was doing a run at the old Vic, Oliver Reed and I became chummy with Prince Philip.
One weekend, he invited us up to Balmoral Palace in Scotland for a boys' retreat.
Turns out that for the Royals secretly hit all the exiled SS officers they were pals with.
A few of them were mad scientists working on all sorts of weapons experiments.
That's where I had an early beta version of what became known as the Jaegermeister.
They didn't have the kinks worked out yet, so we all got fucked up on this mangale juice.
Grabbed some thermite flamethrowers and started terrorizing the Scottish Highlands and Jeeps and motorcycles.
Everyone blacked out.
No one remembers exactly what happened.
Apparently, I burned an entire sheep farm to a crisp.
And they found Oliver the next day naked, painted blue, and beached on one of the Shetland Islands.
Bunch of crazy krauts.
And that's where Velcro comes from.
Happy baby to you.
Happy baby to you.
And that music meets it's time for Rip Thorn's birthday rum cake.
Emily Day Chanetto from Bones is 36 today.
Her biggest regret in life is on strangling younger sister Zoe before she can become a talentless dough-eyed sprite adored by emotionally uncentered men, thereby eclipsing her own fame.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda.
Joan Cuzak is 50 and just as creepy as ever.
Or wait, they might be thinking of a mad diploma.
I always get those two confused.
And finally, Daryl Hall of Harlan Oates is 66 years old.
Hard to believe.
The godfather of Blue-Eyed Soul will be celebrating the way he does every year, baking John Oates into a giant layer cake.
And whoever gets the slice with John in it gets an impromptu doo-op serenade from the best-selling pop two of all time.
Then they slice Oates' throat and hang him upside down as a sacrifice to save some of his blood so they can clone and regrow him in time to do it all over again next year.
Happy birthday, Daryl Hall.
This is Rip Thorne saying celebrities are just like you and me, except drunk and fucking beautiful.
