	The Jimmy Dore show starts right now.
	This week, Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration for Secretary of State.
	Once again, the Republicans have succeeded in keeping a black woman from getting a good job.
	After four years of failing to prove Obama was not qualified to be president, the Republicans score another victory in their war on competence.
	Rice was well aware that if she were nominated, Republicans would spend months investigating a cover-up of the attacks in Benghazi, and if there was no cover-up, they would take even longer.
	They desperately want to find corruption in an Obama appointee, being unable to find any in Obama himself.
	For Republicans, the last four years have been a frustrating period of waiting for the president to commit an impeachable offense.
	Unfortunately for them, the worst accusations against Obama have all come from Glenn Beck.
	The Republicans never did have a good reason to reject Susan Rice, but they did have lots of crappy ones.
	Eight years ago, they had no similar doubts about Condoleezza Rice, who never saw 9-11 coming, but you did see imaginary nuclear weapons.
	Obviously, it's not a foolproof system.
	Rice's withdrawal leaves Senator John Kerry as the favorite, which makes many Democrats suspicious that the entire Rice episode was a subterfuge to open a Senate seat.
	Could the Republicans be capable of such cynicism?
	Why did I waste my time phrasing that as a question?
	Coincidentally, GOP leaders seem pretty enthusiastic about Kerry.
	Apparently, they've forgiven him for lying about being a hero in Vietnam.
	Nice job.
	Thank you.
	Good job.
	It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
	The show for...
	Up-minded, lowly-lovered lefties.
	The kind of people that are...
	Comments maybe on Tearing Down Our Nation.
	It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
	It's hard to talk to you today guys.
	And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
	it's jimmy Hi, everybody.
	Welcome to this week's episode.
	I'm joined on the phone from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
	It's TV's Frank Frank Coniff.
	Hi, Frank.
	How are you?
	Hello there.
	Good to see you.
	Every week.
	And across the glass from me, it's former writer for The Daily Show, hilarious comedian Steve Rosenfield.
	Hey, Steve.
	Hey, Jimmy.
	Great to be back in town.
	It's good I didn't leave.
	You're looking good.
	Good to see you.
	Good to have you back, even though you never left.
	Okay.
	Next to him from Team Yasamura, it's hilarious comedian Robert Yasamura.
	How are you, Japanese man?
	is not to like.
	Hero.
	Now, Robert, where do you...
	Where do you shop for your clothes?
	Up at the Boys Department at Brooks Brothers.
	There you go.
	There you go.
	They know me in there.
	They walk in, I get a lolly.
	They call you son.
	Yeah.
	They always say thank you, Mr. Eddie's father.
	Across the table, it's our resident Latina, the host of Comedy and Everything Else.
	It's Steph Savorano.
	Hey, Steph, how are you?
	Muy Bien.
	Hola.
	And I just want to say, I love my unions.
	Yes, Steph, she's a member of a union, several unions.
	All right.
	So let's get to some jokes before we get to the jokes.
	So did you hear that finally, after all the Republican haranguing and demagoguing, Susan Rice has withdrawn her nomination?
	Oh.
	Frank, do you have any theories on why that is, Frank?
	Well, I think it's just that the Republican party, the party of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Condoleezza, they just placed a very high premium on confidence.
	So Paul McCartney, now what's the deal with Paul McCartney and Nirvana, Frank?
	What's going on?
	Are they playing with him?
	Paul McCartney at the Sandy Hurricane Sandy Benefit concert.
	He took Kurt Colbain's place in Nirvana, which I think the members of Nirvana would not approve of at all if they were still alive today.
	How could they do this?
	No, Frank, you and I, we have an affinity for food.
	We like food, and that's the beauty of Manhattan.
	I like that there's a couple of ice cream places in your neighborhood, right?
	There's that artisan ice cream place.
	What's their slogan?
	You remember what their slogan is, Frank?
	The artist in ice cream, their slogan is pretentious, it's never been so delicious.
	And then there's that other.
	Just across the street from my apartment is the place called the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop.
	How is it?
	It's pretty good.
	I would say it's more Jim J. Bulletgay than David Bowen.
	That's our ice cream jokes.
	Topical.
	Did you hear the big news from reality TV this week is Storage Wars, which I watch Storage Wars is turned out it was rigged.
	The one guy quit the show and suing them because it was rigged.
	Oh my God.
	And the whole, ironically, the whole scandal is based on a locker full of Herb Stemple memorabilia.
	Even Steve doesn't get that.
	No, that was KRP in Cincinnati, right?
	No.
	No, that's Herb Tarlick.
	Herb Stemple is from Shakespeare.
	Oh, yes, yes, yes, Chris.
	Oh, shh!
	Because it was rigged.
	Yeah, yeah, that's funny.
	Now, I'll put all the pieces together tomorrow.
	Okay.
	That would be pretty cool if Patty Duke was the one who blew the whistle on this one, too.
	Uh, did you hear...
	Hey, did you hear that Hillary Clinton that's announced today she has a stomach virus?
	Did you hear that, Frank?
	Yes, and right now, pundits are spending hours talking about how it will affect her digestive system in 2016.
	Okay, that's the joke.
	So now let's get to what's coming up on today's show.
	Well, we're going to talk about the Michigan state of Michigan passed a right-to-work vote.
	And hey, come on, let's be realistic.
	Does everybody need a living wage, really?
	Come on.
	We're going to talk about that.
	We're going to have the governor got a couple of clips from the glove.
	Kyle Rose, Kyle Rove, tells us what's really behind the right-to-work push.
	Then we're going to switch over to Morning Joe.
	And Morning Joe asked the question, what's wrong with right-to-work states?
	He gets a little carry away with his own BS.
	Plus, Krista Freelander, right?
	She's the head of Reuters International.
	And she's going to stop by to tell us what caused all the gridlock in the first term of Barack Obama's administration.
	She says it was because Barack Obama wasn't nice enough.
	This is true.
	We're going to talk about that.
	Plus, we're going to talk about the fiscal cliff and Tom Colburn.
	He's going to tell us why we can't lie to the American people, and then he's going to lie to the American people.
	And then we got a phone call today from who's calling him?
	Barack Obama calls in, plus Vince Vaughn, who's on a tour.
	He just announced he's working with Glenn Beck on some projects.
	So I called him up and we talked to him.
	That's coming up and a lot, lot more on today's Jimmy Gore Show.
	Thank you.
	Amen.
	Thank you.
	Samuel T. Cohen, inventor of the neutron bomb.
	Samuel Cohen, inventor of the neutron bomb, died in his home recently after straining for days on what he tragically dubbed my clam sausage ordinance.
	Paramedics were shocked to find his internal organs had completely disintegrated, leaving the surrounding skin remarkably intact.
	Cohen developed the neutron bomb in the 1950s at the request of the government, who needed a way to kill enemy troops without harming buildings housing the world's precious reserves of hula hoops.
	Very important.
	Mr. Cohen was married twice.
	his first marriage ended in divorce in 1952 after his wife caught him in bed with Fat Man and Little Boy.
	laughter laughter You know, his bomb's main appeal was its lethal output of tiny neutral particles that can pass through buildings without notice.
	He dubbed these particles Walter Mondale's Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev called Cohen's invention the ultimate capitalist weapon built, quote, to kill a man in such a way that his suit will not be stained with blood in order to appropriate the suit, unquote.
	He then ruined the moment by banging his shoe on a table.
	In 1981, President Ronald Reagan ordered 700, ordered 700 neutron warheads built to oppose the Soviet Union, and even had several of them tested on his brain.
	Years later, President George H.W. Bush ordered the massive stockpile disarmed and stored safely inside his wife's cast iron womb.
	Cohen requested his body be mistakenly dropped on an Iraqi wedding celebration.
	Thank you very much.
	Emma Earl, nice job.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	Okay, so we know what's been going on in Michigan, right?
	So they passed the right to work state.
	So they brought on the governor, was on the television.
	He came on to talk about it.
	And let's just listen to this: it's Governor Snyder, Governor Snyder, right?
	It's funny because the most popular, the most famous Snyder that I can remember from my youth was Snyder from One Day at a Time.
	Sure.
	And he used to come by and fix stuff.
	And this guy comes by and breaks stuff.
	So here's what he had to say about it.
	Ready?
	Right to work is about the relationship between the union and workers.
	And this is about being pro-workers, giving workers the choice.
	If anything, this.
	Yes, it's about giving the workers the choice.
	Take it or leave it.
	That's the choices.
	That's the choice.
	Okay.
	He's got a little bit more to say.
	Giving workers the choice.
	If anything, this should encourage unions to be more responsive to workers.
	Oh, yeah.
	For example, they're going to be more responsive by waving goodbye to them.
	You know, I'd say it's the workers' fault anyway.
	They should have saved all the money they made in the 1930s.
	So here we are.
	And Governor, so he.
	Now workers will be able to accept gratuities while they're working.
	Yeah, yes.
	They can get tips.
	So the crazy thing, so right to work, what it does is it makes people who work at a place.
	So if say like you work at a company and the place wants to have a union, the way the law, labor laws work is that if 51% of the workers want to join a union, then it becomes what they call a closed shop, a union shop.
	Meaning if you want to work there, you don't necessarily have to join the union, but you do have to pay dues to the union.
	And most of the dues that you pay, in fact, go to the workings of the union, protecting workers, representing them when they're getting fired, bargaining for them collectively, stuff like that.
	Very small percentage of the money goes towards political, that's the whole thing.
	Why should I have to support a union, give my money to them, and they're going to take my money and give it to politicians that I don't agree with.
	So that's the whole big theory.
	But the theory is, so now the thing is, oh, you don't have to pay into a union.
	And then you'll just, you know, the union has to compete for the workers' dues.
	But the problem with that is that no one's going to pay for something they don't have to.
	And so that's pretty much effectively the end of the union when they do that.
	So here he goes on to talk even more about it's about economic development.
	We will get more and better jobs coming to Michigan because we're going to be more competitive.
	Yeah, Michigan's going to get all kinds of jobs like they have in China and for the same wages.
	A lot of jobs.
	Yeah, the new law is going to create more and better jobs in a growing field of Republican job elimination.
	It'll be a boomtown.
	Yes, Frank.
	You're leaving out the horrible effect.
	You know, what came out of unions, that awful thing that we all hate called the middle class.
	Oh, God.
	And the 40-day work week shackled me to that some more, damn unions.
	You know what nobody's mentioning here, Robert, is that the right to work law goes a long way towards protecting the rights of scabs.
	Well, here's what happens.
	They need protection, too.
	And this is what happened in the South is that they come in and the workers who join these non-union shops get benefits comparable to what the union gets.
	Right.
	Because the union creates competition and creates standards.
	Right.
	And so these people who did not sacrifice for those benefits get to reap all the benefits while giving the finger to the people who did.
	Yes, correct.
	So the thing is, it's not that.
	So he's trying to say that, you know, it's not that Republicans, you know, hate workers.
	They're just nostalgic for the labor conditions during the Taft administration.
	Who could blame them?
	Who could blame them, really?
	And so the whole idea that the BS that Snyder says, it comes right by the way, it comes right from Alec, Right.
	So that Alec, so that's what they wrote this bill.
	Alec wrote this bill.
	And so he fronts it by saying this is going to create more jobs.
	It's going to make the union more responsive.
	It's a great thing.
	It's a great thing.
	Yeah, and that's why you had to pass it during a lame duck session.
	Right.
	So here's so.
	Carl Rove, by the way, went on Fox News.
	Ironically, somebody who's not employed.
	Last year he went on and he kind of let the cat out of the bag on what right to work and getting rid of unions is all about.
	So here's, he'll explain to you what it's all about.
	They lost 612,000 union members in 2010 alone.
	Now, think about it.
	Every one of those 602,000 people had literally perhaps several hundred dollars worth of union dues going into the political coffers of their union to spend on politics.
	So yeah, you keep having a couple hundred thousand people each year.
	Half a million people leave the labor union movement every year.
	And pretty soon you start having crimp in the political budgets of these unions.
	It has a direct effect on the presidential election.
	Okay, so he just said, so if you can put a lower the participation of workers in unions, lower the union number, you lower union dues and you take money out of the political process.
	And that takes power and the voice away from working people and gives more power to the plutocrats who are now in control of things.
	So that's what he's saying.
	That's what this is really all about.
	And by the way, there are Republican strategists on his side who've said it even more explicitly, like, this is what we're trying to do.
	We are trying to take out one of the legs of the Democratic Party.
	Right.
	So what these guys don't like is these free marketers, and I'm holding quotes up when I say that.
	These free marketers, they're for anything except the free market when it comes to democracy.
	The more people who participate, the more people get to express their opinion, the worse is it off for them.
	And they try to suppress the vote and they try to suppress the union voice.
	They try to get rid of their union money in politics.
	So he's saying that the more and better jobs a BS is just a political smokescreen.
	So that's really, that's all he's saying.
	And we know it now.
	Okay.
	Well, and by the way, you know, the biggest, it's not like the car makers are going to become non-union shops.
	They will stay union shops.
	The majority of people, anybody who wants to work there still has to pay union dues.
	They pay slightly less.
	It's called financial core.
	No, they don't.
	That's called, no, Robert, because right to work gets rid of all that.
	Right to work, they don't have to pay anything.
	That's the problem.
	So now, even, but the UAW does have a contract for the next three years, and that will supersede this new law.
	So yes, you're correct about that.
	But after that three years, then it's over.
	So for the UAW.
	So I know that I think.
	How much more can they oppress the working class?
	How much more can they take away from the middle class?
	Haven't we sacrificed enough?
	And if we don't have those unions, like I hear people frequently, they really don't understand what a union has provided.
	Like we're talking about the 40-hour work week.
	We're talking about child labor.
	You know, that we don't have that any longer.
	And we're talking about that I can have somebody collectively bargain my contract for me instead of me going in and begging for some money.
	And we all know that it's hard to go and ask somebody for money and then say, I deserve a raise.
	Well, it's impossible.
	A few points, though, to one of their major points to say makers that because of unions, children have a much harder job finding jobs.
	Nobody wants them.
	Yeah, because of unions, kids have a much harder time finding jobs with a much easier time finding the fire exits.
	But I could have got that out.
	Oh, it would have been a good joke.
	So I don't think I have to point it out to this audience that there's a direct correlation to the dwindling number of union members in our workforce and with income and prosperity for the middle class.
	So even if you don't have a union job, if there's unions in your sector of the marketplace in America economy, your wages will be higher.
	Your benefits will be better because there is a union there.
	And we all know.
	Okay, so we're going to get to even more of that.
	The whole thing is because he talks about choice, and what he's talking about is giving working people the choice to not have dreams anymore.
	Yes.
	So and that whole phrase, I know, Jimmy, but the whole phrase, right to work, it just sounds perfect.
	Yes, it's very Orwellian, right?
	It is very, very, yes, right.
	Yeah, that's that's like Hitler called Volkswagen the People's Car, and over it said freedom through work or something like that.
	Freedom through labor.
	So in Lansing, Michigan, right?
	So as they were inside, the plutocrats were inside the Capitol passing anti-worker legislation that is guaranteed to lower their wages.
	On the outside, there were people protesting.
	So Freedom Works decided Freedom Works decided to set up a tent right in the middle of it.
	And then guys like Stephen Crow and the NR.
	So there's guys like with NRA hats.
	So all of a sudden, right in the middle of all these union workers who are outside desperately protesting to try to save their way of life, there's these guys who are oppressing them, setting up a tent right in the middle of them and goading them, right?
	And like getting in their face.
	And Stephen Crowder is one of these guys getting in their face while it's happening.
	While the Plutocrats are inside, screwing them, it's actually happening.
	Outside, this guy's taunting them.
	Hey, you're screwing, you know.
	And so what actually happened was some of the guys from Freedom Works tore down their own tent and blamed it on the union guys.
	Oh, wow.
	Yes.
	So did you know that, Frank?
	I think I heard that.
	Yes.
	So I was listening to Tom Hartman reported today that there was an unbiased observer who was a worker, a local worker who on his lunchtime walked over and he saw this guy from Freedom Works taking the straps off the tent and making it implode.
	And he said it didn't fall over like a tree would fall over.
	It fell straight down like the buildings in 9-11 fell down.
	So that's how it fell down.
	Like somebody did it on purpose.
	And then they blamed it on the union guys.
	And then the Stephen Crowder, this guy also said this guy was not the way he described Stephen Crowder's actions that day, he goes, I didn't know who this guy was, but it was obvious this guy was looking for a fight and he wasn't going to leave till he got one.
	So that's, and it's funny that when the video of that fight starts, everyone's like, well, what led up to it?
	All of a sudden, you see this guy punch him, but you don't see what happened before.
	There's nothing.
	And you could tell something happened before, right?
	But they don't show you that part.
	So this Steven Crowder is a big coward.
	And he was like, this is, and he tweets this video out and he says, this is the most shocking video you'll see, the most shocking thing you'll see all day.
	And I tweeted back to him, the most shocking thing I saw all day was your indifference to the assault on working families in Michigan.
	Good point.
	Here.
	Yes.
	And you know, it's always great.
	Great comedy always comes when comedians side with the powerful people against the underdog.
	Yes.
	That's hilarious.
	Well, isn't that so?
	So what does Dennis Miller say, Frank, when people make that point to him?
	Or does he live in a bubble where nobody gets to make that point to him?
	That the bully doesn't need comedy.
	Do you know what I mean?
	Again, I've said it before on this show.
	Conservatives don't do comedy.
	They're the reason we need comedy in the first place.
	Exactly.
	So here is how Joe Scarborough Morning Joe handled it.
	And then to watch the videos.
	And I think we're going to see more, unfortunately, more of this going.
	So that's Harold Ford Jr., who is the bluest of blue dog Democrats.
	And he just said, unfortunately.
	The most ineffectual liberal ever.
	Ever, right.
	And so he says that, unfortunately, I think we're going to see more of these kind of videos where guys get punched in the mouth because they're actually assaulting, there's violence being committed on the economics of the middle class, right?
	So it's just, it's so it kind of is logical that actual violence, physical violence would come from that.
	Okay, just like, you know, how we have physically, every war is based on money.
	There's never been a war that wasn't based on money that I can remember.
	Okay.
	So here we go.
	By the way, why are you talking?
	What's that, Robert?
	The videos of union members punching the occasional provocateur.
	Right.
	It's not nearly as bad as seeing footage of the Ford company shooting workers, which they did.
	Which they did, right.
	So did the Carnegie.
	His steel factories also shot workers.
	So that stuff actually used to go on.
	And the reason why they get to call union thugs union thugs was because the owners of the businesses back when unions were first starting to organize in America would hire policemen to come in and shoot the workers.
	Right.
	So that's why they would.
	So they had no one to turn to.
	So they turned to the mafia.
	And that's how that happened.
	Okay.
	Here is what Joe Scarborough has to say about that video of Crowder of a union guy taking a swing at a mouthpiece for the plutocrats.
	Here's what he has to say about it.
	Well, what is it?
	I mean, what?
	I don't understand the video, the punching.
	I don't understand it.
	I'm not.
	He doesn't understand it.
	He doesn't understand that if someone's taunting you and is a mouthpiece for the people inside who are trying to wreck your way of living, that somehow you might get upset and take a swing at somebody.
	This guy almost takes a swing at people when they disagree with him on policy on a morning show.
	Are you kidding me?
	He rages like an alcoholic.
	So Harold Ford says when people feel threatened economically, things are going to happen.
	And Joe Scarborough says.
	It doesn't justify people punching people because they feel threatened economically.
	What justifies our Iraq invasion, Joe, that you were all behind?
	Does anything justify that?
	That you voted for.
	That you voted for.
	Does anything justify that, Joe?
	Because that was all about money.
	But apparently when a worker.
	I'm not trying to justify it.
	But unfortunately, conservatives go around punching people like that.
	It would have been the lead of every every newscast last night.
	Oh, yeah.
	If that would have been a list, a liberal getting punched.
	Remember how it was the lead of the news?
	Every newscast when in that Rand Paul rally, they kicked that woman in the head.
	Remember how?
	Oh, that's a bad example.
	Yeah.
	Nothing outrages Joe Scarborough more than the suffering of another rich white guy.
	When is somebody going to stand up?
	Go ahead.
	He defended Dick Cheney when he shot a guy in the face.
	When is somebody going to stand up for conservative white men's rights to crush labor unions?
	Come on.
	I can't believe those union thugs.
	Their job security is taken away and they actually get pissed off about it?
	What?
	Can someone explain this to me?
	It's not like anything important is at stake.
	Yeah.
	I love that fact that pretend, oh, if this was a liberal, that fake somehow conservatives don't get a fair shake in the media.
	That canard.
	Joe.
	They are the media.
	Joe.
	Joe.
	You know what?
	I'm so upset with your conservative rantings in the morning.
	I'm going to turn on the liberal morning news show.
	Oh, that's right.
	There isn't one.
	That's right.
	Because if I want to watch the morning news shows, I get a conservative news show like yours, or I can turn on another conservative news show on Fox, or I can turn on the corporate media of CNN.
	And, hey, my question, Frank, is why did it take so long to start punching for people to start punching Fox News reporters?
	That's my question.
	I know.
	They had a lot of patience.
	If you've seen Steve Crowder's comedy videos, he really is.
	It's shocking that he wasn't punched for that yet.
	You know, on the other hand, Joe Scarborough practically begs to get punched in the face every morning, and it never happens.
	Not even once.
	So here Joe Scarborough needs to explain to him why it's wrong to undermine unions.
	I believe, I've said it on the show time and time again, unions after World War II helped create a strong, vibrant middle class.
	We talked to Steve Ratner about jobs coming back to America at $14, $15, $16 an hour.
	We don't celebrate that.
	I'm glad they're here instead of China.
	But, heck, if we had an economy that would support $30 an hour jobs, I'd be for that.
	Better than the CEO.
	So he said, so he goes, you know, jobs are coming back to America, manufacturing jobs, $14, $15, $16 an hour.
	And we don't celebrate that.
	I'm glad to have them here instead of China.
	He said, but if there were, if our economy could support $30 an hour jobs, that would be great.
	But it can't.
	So I guess we shouldn't do anything to try to fix that problem.
	We'll have to live on $13 an hour.
	That's Joe Scarborough.
	Hey, so that's just the way it is.
	Let's pretend like this isn't a problem affecting our whole country.
	Let's pretend that this is an individual problem happening to individual workers and not try to develop a national strategy to help bring back our middle class, Joe.
	So here's what Joe goes on to say about that.
	If we had an economy that would support $30 an hour jobs, I'd be for that.
	Better than a CEO, you know, destroying a company and then getting a $200 million payout.
	He says it's better.
	Did you hear what he said?
	It's better.
	Better that workers getting $30 an hour than a CEO destroying a company and getting a $200 million golden parachute.
	He says that he's upset about that.
	Unfortunately, all the policies and politicians he's ever supported have enabled that sort of system to take place, Joe.
	So the time for you to say something about it was when you were actually in Congress and could have done something.
	Or maybe now when you have a TV show, you could maybe say something about it.
	Instead of wash your hands and go, oh, nothing we can do.
	He goes on.
	All that said, what is wrong with a state allowing an American to work where he or she wants to work without having to be compelled to pay union dues?
	okay i'm gonna have to explain it to joe scarborough here he goes because and i will straighten out Joe Scarborough, right after the break.
	But this is the Jimmy Door show.
	We'll be right back in one minute.
	For the podcast listeners, which is you guys, my favorite listeners, I want to say, hey, thanks for supporting the show, right?
	How does the show happen?
	Through you guys, the support from you guys.
	And what's the way I can support your show without costing me money, Jimmy?
	Oh, here it is.
	You use our Amazon.com link.
	The next time you want to buy something from Amazon.com, especially during this holiday season, you don't go straight to Amazon.com.
	You go to jimmydoorcomedy.com.
	You click on that amazon.com box on the right-hand side, and that takes you to Amazon.com.
	And then when you buy something, they give us some money.
	It doesn't cost you anything.
	It doesn't change the way you shop at Amazon.
	And it really helps support the show.
	And you don't have to go to my website every time.
	You just go one time, you click on the Amazon.com box.
	And then when you get to Amazon, you bookmark that page.
	So the next time you want to go, you just go back to your bookmark, which is already hooked up, and then make sure that we get our money.
	It really works.
	It really helps support the show.
	It's the easiest way to help support the show.
	And I just want to say thanks to everybody.
	Of course, if you make your donations over at JimmyDoorComedy.com, we send you a CD or a DVD, and we're getting premium content available.
	I got my man Adam Hart on the case.
	And so thank you very much during the holiday season for taking care of us and supporting the Jimmy Door show.
	You're doing the right thing, and it's an easy way to do it.
	Plus, we have our pro flowers promotion this week.
	I'll tell you about that at the end of the show.
	But if you like, everybody likes flowers.
	So here's a way you can send flowers, get a deal on it, and help support the show.
	I'll tell you about it at the end of the show.
	But now let's get back to round two of the Jimmy Door show.
	It spells the end of unions and for collective bargaining rights of workers, which is what made a standard of living possible for the middle class.
	So if we don't have collective bargaining anymore, then everybody who doesn't have a college education in America is going to be working at Walmart and McDonald's wages.
	And our economy will be in the crapper because money is now concentrated in fewer hands, which slows down our economy.
	It hurts everyone, Joe.
	That's why this is a bad idea.
	In fact, a study, an exhaustive study by economist Lonnie K. Stevens at Hofstra University, found that states that have enacted right-to-work laws reported no increase in business startups and no increase of the rates of employment or wages.
	Personal income in right-to-work states are lower than those states that aren't right-to-work states.
	And only proprietors' incomes are higher in right-to-work states.
	Meaning, in short, right-to-work laws simply redistribute income from workers to the owners.
	That's all it does.
	It's socialism, but the other way.
	But it's the other way, right?
	So one of the people go, so Joe's, why should I have to pay into it?
	Because that's one of the remedies we've learned that works in America, Joe, to have strong unions.
	That's one of the remedies to make sure that workers share in the profits.
	And if you get rid of work unions, you're going to get rid of the middle class in America.
	And then we're going to have an income, we're going to have an economy like India or China, rich and poor.
	There's no middle class, which I was always taught growing up, Joe, in traditional America.
	That's what made America America.
	That's why everybody wanted to move here was because of our amazing middle class and how people got to share in the wealth.
	And what made that possible was unions.
	Go ahead, Frank.
	Yeah, somewhere along the way, the idea of, you know, of pursuing the American dream went from just having a stable middle class life where you could send your kids to college and have a house and have a certain amount of stability.
	That Republicans like threw that dream away a long time ago.
	And now it's like your dream has to be to become a billionaire.
	And if you're not a billionaire, then you're just going to be poor and too bad you didn't pull yourself up by your bootstraps and become Donald Trump.
	So screw you.
	I also think they want to say that, you know, if you look and you compare the right-to-work states and they go, well, look how low our unemployment rates are.
	But that doesn't mean that the people are being that they're rising above poverty level in those states.
	And then, and, you know, when Joe Scarborough talks about our economy can't handle a $30 an hour wage, I think that's a straw man argument.
	It's not the economy that's going to pay.
	It's actually the billion-dollar profiting corporation that's going to pay, like Walmart.
	Right, no.
	Aren't they making $16.9 billion profit every year?
	You're telling me they can't afford to pay their employees a livable wage, including health care?
	So Costco proves that their business model at Walmart is wrong, is a fraud.
	All that is taking all the profits to the top.
	And so that hurts our economy.
	We know that the economy does better with 100 people making $1,000 than one guy making $1 million.
	We all know that.
	The guy can't buy 1,000 cars.
	So we all know this, right?
	So it demand economy.
	It's what FDR did.
	It's what Keynes said.
	It's you put money in the pocket of working people.
	That creates demand.
	That's called stimulus spending.
	That creates demand in the economy.
	And that's what creates strong economies.
	This whole thing, the stock market is back to record levels.
	We have corporations making record profits, sitting on record amounts of money.
	You know why?
	Because there is no demand.
	They're still not hiring because there is no demand in the economy because people who do get jobs get $12 and $13 an hour jobs and there's no demand created in the economy.
	And that will drive the economy into the ground because it's so there is not going to be disposable income on the part of what used to be the middle class.
	Go ahead, Frank.
	I thought that the reason they were sitting on all that money was because of the uncertainty of having a socialist like Tim Geithner.
	Right.
	Working for Obama.
	And if Hondi Romney and the Republicans have got elected, that uncertainty would have gone away and they would have started putting that money into the economy.
	So Joe Scarborough has a couple of more queries.
	Here he is asking Harold Ford something.
	Say again, can somebody, I need somebody to explain to me because I know there are a lot of hardworking union people out there that might think I'm anti-union.
	I'm not.
	Yes.
	No, no, I'm just for right to work, which decimates unions.
	And he pretends he doesn't have this information at his fingertips.
	Here he goes.
	As I said, unions built the middle class of America.
	And if I got to choose between a CEO making lots of money and the money getting spread around in the free market system, I'll take the money getting spread around.
	Although I've never voted that way in Congress, I never pushed a bill that would help that.
	I've never done anything that would help that except give lip service to it at this very moment.
	And it sounds like, Joe, it sounds like you're advocating socialism, spreading the wealth around, which is exactly what unions do.
	This is a guy who was a congressman, and he's going, hey, could somebody explain this whole union thing to me?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I just read the sports section.
	Exactly.
	He's the host of a news show.
	He used to be a congressman, and he doesn't get right to work.
	And what's the matter?
	Is he in a union?
	And he's in the union, by the way.
	He's in a union, absolutely.
	Yes, right.
	But am I anti-union?
	Yes.
	Is somebody anti-union for saying Harold Ford LSQ?
	I should be able to work where I want to work and pay union dues if I want to pay union dues.
	Is that a demonstrably anti-union position or is that just supporting freedom?
	That's just supporting freedom, Frank.
	Once again, Scarborough displays the moral courage needed to stand up for the rich and powerful.
	So it just must be depressing for him to come into work every day at MSNBC, where all these people are getting union benefits and are protected by unions.
	It must be so depressing for them to be living under that fascist state.
	How could they, yes, you know, think about that.
	He's saying that.
	Why doesn't he go to E and work?
	He's surrounded by union people.
	Yeah, not a contract there.
	Yeah, go do your show over at E. Or okay, here, here.
	So I'm going to.
	All right, for Chelsea Lacey.
	So here, let's listen to the.
	Here's here.
	I didn't play this, but here's Harold Ford's response to what Joe said.
	Ready?
	A demonstrably anti-union position, or is that just supporting freedom?
	I think it's supporting freedom.
	Wow!
	Oh my God.
	That's a Democrat, ladies and gentlemen.
	And you wonder why our system is broken.
	You wonder why you working people are going under.
	He really is a weasel.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Yeah.
	That's him.
	That was.
	They put him on it.
	Harold Ford on in the morning because people are eating milk toast for breakfast.
	Somebody should have punched him.
	Fearing retribution from boss man Scarborough, Harold Ford folds like a lawn chair.
	Proving the need for a union for talk show guests on Morning Joe.
	It's kind of ironic, right?
	Oh, man.
	Barack Obama called me.
	Oh.
	Jimmy Door.
	Guess who, my brother?
	It's two-term President Marack Hussein Obama.
	Yeah, Daddy's going to go back to using his middle name because I don't got to run for public office ever again, motherfucker.
	Fox News could accuse me of being the secret Muslim forever.
	Come over Trump and go looking for my birth certificate like it was the Holy Grail.
	And those two interracial porns I did in the late 80s conservatus because Sheriff Swinger Dick just got punched the second hole on his lifetime sandwich car.
	So I'm feeling all good and shit.
	Not going to this budget negotiation with that stiff Boehner.
	Man, the stick of that guy's butt is so deep, I can't believe it doesn't explode out the top of his head like in a Cronenberg picture.
	I bet his kids hate the fuck out of him.
	So I walk in and Boehner's all like, what do you propose, Mr. President?
	And I'm like, why?
	Have you not seen the TV, white boy?
	He's just staring at me with those dead eyes, man.
	Boehner up close is an unsettling man on camera.
	He's got those tiny blue eyes that seem all steely and resolute.
	Dude, up close, it's like staring into the abyss.
	I'm telling you, if someone told me Boehner died 10 years ago, no part of me would be surprised.
	Okay, so we're going to do this dance, right?
	So I lay out my plan, and he's all, well, that's just not going to fly, Mr. President.
	We simply won't accept new taxes.
	Oh, so that's the way you want to play it.
	Okay, I just got elected with a mandate after spending more than a year saying I want to raise taxes on the top 2% every fucking day and twice on Sunday.
	Do you want to step up to this like a big man?
	Did you not get the memo?
	I could bend the sky over my desk and go Adner Luima on him from a bunch of nervous staffers.
	I don't know who the fuck that is.
	Who am I?
	Dennis Miller, who runs this shit.
	By the way, what is this guy's problem?
	Seriously, secret Muslim?
	If anything, I'm a secret Republican.
	I'm willing to sell out every aging American ever to get the tax equivalent of steam off piss.
	And they're all like, you're a socialist.
	These people have got to figure out the difference between socialist and black.
	Okay, I'm fine.
	This is happening.
	We know I'm going to win.
	I just got to wait it out.
	Like a Zen Mandingo.
	Yeah, you feel that?
	All right.
	I'm Howdy 5,000.
	POTUS is going to take a Schwitz and smoke a doobie.
	I'll have to lock my douchebag.
	Okay.
	Barack Obama.
	Hey, I want to let everybody know that the next big stand-up show, you know, we do our stand-up shows over at the Hollywood Improv now, and we did the last one sold out two shows.
	So the next one's going to be January 5th.
	That's the Saturday after New Year's.
	It's a Saturday, 8 p.m. show.
	So we'll see you there.
	There's a link at jimmydoorcomedy.com.
	So keep it in mind.
	It's the Saturday after New Year's at 8 p.m.
	The big stand-up show.
	I'll let you know about the lineup next week.
	Okay, back to the show.
	Krista Freelander, I don't know if you're familiar with who she is, Frank, but she is the head of Reuters International.
	And I love the show that Fred Armiston does about her, Freelander.
	So we miss you, Frank.
	So she's that, so she's the head.
	So she's the head of Reuters International, right?
	So she went on with Ezra Klein the other night.
	So we all remember the gridlock that happened in the first term of Barack Obama's administration.
	It was because they had decided to not pass any legislation and try to their number one goal, Mitch McConnell stated, was to make sure Barack Obama doesn't have a second term.
	Their goal wasn't governing.
	Their goal wasn't to fix the economy.
	Their goal wasn't to do anything to help people.
	Their goal was to get rid of Barack Obama.
	It was all political gamesmanship.
	And they had an unprecedented amount of filibusters, which is why they're talking.
	So we all know that happened.
	So here's what Krista Friedlander said, though, what was the real problem.
	Ready?
	Since the election, despite the hostility, despite the feeling of somewhat patrol on the part of the White House, he's been going to business group after business group, having business leaders over to the White House.
	Is that paying any dividends?
	Are people sort of, is there any calming of those passions because of that diplomacy, Tor?
	Sure.
	I think it really matters.
	And, you know, business people, believe it or not, are human beings too, and they like to be paid attention to.
	They especially like to be paid attention to by the president.
	So, yeah, I think it makes a big difference.
	And I do actually think the president is partly to blame for that extreme hostility in his first term because he didn't do some of the basic, you know, meet and greet stuff that actually is the job of a political leader.
	Yes.
	So even though Barack Obama gave the bankers trillions of dollars in interest-free money, bailed them out while he didn't bail out the homeowners, and nobody was not only didn't go to jail, but didn't even get investigated.
	And it turns out they got everything that you would think the bankers wanted.
	But what they really wanted was love.
	Yes, yes.
	Who knew?
	So what she is saying.
	Go ahead, Frank.
	secret ingredient of love is missing from Obama.
	Yeah, that's the problem.
	So that's the problem.
	So business leaders and the Republicans decided that because Barack Obama didn't give them enough attention and didn't kiss their ass enough that they decided to not do anything good for the country because their ego didn't get stroked and he didn't invite them to prom.
	Are you kidding me?
	Doesn't that undermine Krista Freelander's argument that businessmen are people too?
	Yes.
	That whole idea, they're people too.
	Yes.
	So what she's saying, you know, and the idea that the entire American economy has to suck the dicks of these Wall Street megalomaniacs who spend their lunch hours at strip clubs and have turned investment banking into gambling with other casinos with other people's money.
	And now the president has to get down on a knee and kiss their ass so they'll do what's right for America.
	And Krista Friedlander doesn't think that there's a problem with that because she wants to get invited to all their parties.
	She's making a similar case that Laureen Dowd makes in her column that the big problem with Obama, he doesn't send enough thank you notes to people.
	Yes.
	By the way, during the whole health care debate in his first term, you know, we all saw the tape of Obama going and meeting with Republicans and answering all of their questions and try to accommodate all of them and speaking very reasonably to all of them.
	And there's tape of this, and yet these people still portray him as this unreasonable, aloof guy.
	You know, the bankers, Frank, they're human beings, too, and they have all the traits you'd expect in human beings.
	Greed, selfishness, arrogance, dishonesty, and not to mention treachery.
	They're just human.
	They're just human beings.
	And they're petulant, and they're going to act in their own self-interest.
	The rest of the world be damned.
	You know what?
	She's like, how come we're not focusing on how lowly Mr. Potter is?
	You know, George Bailey should have really did a little more gladhanding with Mr. Potter.
	I was watching George Snuffle Up Agissa, and he had on Tom Colburn, and they're talking about.
	First of all, I just want to make everybody know when someone says that Medicare is going bankrupt or Medicaid is going bankrupt or Social Security is going bankrupt, that's a sure sign that that guy is full of hot air, meaning BS, because they're not going bankrupt, right?
	Medicare, we either choose to fund it or we don't.
	Medicare is not going bankrupt.
	What's causing the cost of Medicare to rise is not Medicare.
	What's making Medicare's costs right is the cost of health care.
	The cost of health care in America is going through the roof, and so Medicare is also going through the roof.
	It's not the other way around.
	Medicare isn't driving up health care costs.
	Healthcare costs is driving up the cost of Medicare.
	And people have that backwards.
	So they go, we have to cut Medicare.
	No, we have to get our handle on how to handle health care costs in America.
	And nobody talks about that.
	But when they say, oh, it's going bankrupt, it's not going bankrupt.
	We either choose to fund it or we don't.
	Nobody ever says the Pentagon's going bankrupt.
	Oh, really?
	The Pentagon's not what was that Afghan war?
	It's still in the black?
	Really?
	Are we still turning a profit over there?
	It's all the government.
	It's all the government.
	Yeah, it's all money that we choose to spend or not.
	Nobody ever says the Iraq war isn't turning a profit anymore.
	The Iraq war went bankrupt.
	Don't you hear that?
	We can't afford it.
	It went bankrupt.
	No one ever said that.
	You know, but come on.
	The Afghanistan war and some things you do for profit, but other things you do for love.
	So here's Tom Coburn.
	Now, who is Tom Coburn, to refresh myself?
	Tom Coburn, senator from Oklahoma.
	Okay.
	Always a good sign.
	And he's an Okie.
	Right.
	So he's one of these guys who likes to pretend he's a grown-up.
	Okay.
	He's one of those guys like, you can't.
	So here, well, you'll see what I'm talking about.
	Here's what he has to say.
	Playing the game, George.
	You can't continue to lie to the American people.
	But let's try anyway.
	Here goes.
	So here he goes.
	So what's the problem?
	Or we can actually be absolutely honest with the American people and say.
	You know, when someone says we've got to be honest with the American people, that's like the guy saying, hey, I'm not a racist butt.
	Right?
	So, okay, here he goes.
	Here's his honesty coming.
	Ready?
	Big, big truth.
	Medicare's going bankrupt.
	Social Security bankrupt.
	Disability will be bankrupt in two years.
	Social Security Trust Fund will be bankrupt in five years.
	Social Security Total will be bankrupt in probably 16, 17 years.
	So we got to fix that problem that's going to happen in 16 or 17 years when Tom Colburn is 90.
	That's the problem he wants to fix now.
	Sure, he's not going to play that political game, but he is willing to scare the crap out of people unnecessarily to make them do what he wants.
	And I like how he, and it's, what's the joke, Frank?
	I love the way he talks about it.
	Like, we need to fix these by dismantling them.
	Right.
	Well, here, you want to hear his idea how we fix it?
	Here's how he says we fix it.
	Ready?
	Aim, George.
	You can't continue to lie to the American people.
	Yes, you can.
	We need to fix it.
	And the way to fix it is to control the cost.
	So the way we fix it is we control the cost of health care across the board.
	Oh, I like that idea.
	We try to get our medical costs in America on par with the rest of the industrialized nations instead of what it is right now.
	We pay double.
	Maybe we put in some cost controls with pharmaceuticals and with hospital.
	Maybe we do something like that.
	Is that what you're going to say?
	Let's see if that's what he says.
	That's how you fix it.
	American people.
	We need to fix it.
	And the way to fix it is to control the costs.
	And the way to control the cost is to have more individual participation.
	Okay, so when he says individual participation, that's a technical term for elderly people get to choose between food or medicine.
	That's what he means by individual.
	We need to increase individual participation.
	That means we need to increase the amount of money old and sick people and poor people pay.
	That's what his increased.
	So he's going to give it to you straight and use Orwellian speak to hide what he really wants to do, which is cut medical care for old people.
	And also, poor people can be more proactive by dying sooner.
	That'd help.
	Yes, please die sooner.
	That's what's going to...
	It's supposed to lower the cost of insurance.
	And he voted against it pretty much before he was even born.
	Well, you know, you have to readjust the safety net.
	You know, if you're going to get us out of this hole, you're going to have to dump a lot of poor people into it, basically, is what he's saying.
	Throw them overboard.
	We're going to have to readjust the safety net so it has a hole big enough for all the poor people in the country to fall through.
	Individual.
	Right?
	So he's got a little bit more to say.
	And there's a lot of ways to do that, but you can't play the game and hide.
	Medicare and Social Security and Medicaid, if those aren't fixed, if we're not honest about how to fix them, and the fact that, yes, everybody in this country will have to participate in some discomfort.
	So when he says that to fix Medicare and Social Security, everybody will have to participate in some discomfort, except, you know, for the people who don't really need Medicare or Social Security.
	They don't have to participate in the discomfort at all.
	They're going to be slapped with an imperceptible 2% increase in their marginal tax rates, which will affect their lifestyle zero.
	Okay.
	By the way, what is galling about listening to this is that he has that thing that Republicans do where they make it sound like, hey, I'm just calling a spade a spade.
	You know, it's not common sense.
	It's not right.
	He's saying, he's making it sound like what I'm saying is the hard medicine is whatever.
	It's the same thing that happened with Ryan, where everybody's like, oh, he's so brave.
	So brave.
	Say it.
	And it's like, no, what he's saying is wrong.
	Right.
	He's not brave.
	It's not.
	So, Robert, what you're saying is what I picked up and what Steve picked up when we watched this clip is that he tries to sell his obvious BS by framing it as a harsh truth.
	That's what he's doing.
	Scolding.
	Hey, I've got to give it to you straight.
	You guys don't want to see the truth.
	The truth is that we can't afford to have old people have retirement or medical care in America.
	That's just the plain truth.
	We can't afford it.
	That's what he's trying to say.
	I'm a straight shooter.
	We need slavery back.
	I'm a straight shooter.
	Okay, so I will sat down.
	I got Vince Vaughan on the phone to kind of explain what's been going on.
	And he wasn't coherent the whole time, but let's see what happens.
	All right, let's do this.
	You know what?
	How about let's actually achieve what we came out here to do?
	So I'm talking with Vince Vaughn.
	Vince, I noticed you're going on tour with Glenn Beck.
	Now, I knew you were a conservative, but you know, Glenn Beck's not conservative.
	He's crazy.
	Well, first of all, let me just say it's an honor to be on your show, Jimmy Door.
	I've always been out here for 20 years and I've never been able to get on public radio.
	This is a great opportunity for me.
	It's a real career builder.
	I'm very excited about it.
	No, can you tell me some of the things before we even get to Glenn Beck?
	You say you're a conservative.
	What makes you a conservative?
	I would describe myself more as a libertarian, actually.
	Thank you for doing your research, but that's how I would portray myself.
	Oh, so you're a libertarian.
	I'm not a Republican.
	Oh, okay.
	But you're doing something with Glenn Beck, who is by far.
	Glenn Beck is an independent thinker like I am.
	I don't think Glenn Beck would necessarily identify himself as a Republican.
	Okay, but he's crazy.
	Don't you?
	He's an independent thinker.
	So what?
	Independent thinking.
	So you don't find him to be crazy at all, like when he was accused the president of being a racist.
	Frenzy, why would you call the man crazy?
	He's written books.
	You know, he's, yeah, do you call someone crazy?
	He's had a successful career, started on Fox News.
	Now he's got his own news channel, like the media pimp he is.
	He's big pimping.
	He's got his own the blaze.
	Who doesn't love the blaze?
	He actually started on headline news.
	That's right.
	He was CNN, Fox News.
	This guy's had a huge career, and you think he's crazy?
	People who are crazy don't have those kinds of careers.
	So, so, Vince, what is this to what are you going to be doing with it?
	I mean, I don't understand.
	First of all, what makes you a conservative or a libertarian?
	I'm a libertarian.
	I believe in liberty.
	The root word of libertarian is liberty.
	Well, everybody who doesn't like liberty, Jimmy Door.
	Who doesn't like it?
	Who doesn't want to take a little liberty and rub it in their skin?
	Okay.
	Like a clipman or a cream.
	Yeah, but I mean, we're all everybody loves liberty.
	That's what I think you're the straw man you're fighting against.
	It just seems crazy you're hooking up.
	I'll take the shit out of that straw man.
	Yeah, but it's you know, Glenn Beck's I'm six foot five.
	I beat up a straw man in a bar fight last night.
	He's not a libertarian, Glenn Beck.
	He's crazy.
	He's legitimately nuts.
	And, you know, anyway, so it's just, it just seems like there could have been somebody better for you to hook up with.
	Like who?
	Who would be a better person?
	Somewhere in the established media, somewhere the left-wing media, somebody in other medias that I don't care for.
	First of all, there's no such thing as left-wing media.
	And second of all.
	Oh, there's no such thing as left-wing.
	What do you mean?
	No, well, MSNBC even is owned by MSNBC.
	It's basically, I think that Al Jazeera and Communist China came together and said, their media came together, let's have sex in the back seat of a Volkswagen van.
	And that's where MSNBC came from.
	No, actually, what happened was a big defense contractor came together with a media company and corporation, and they decided to make MSNBC.
	So that's what that is.
	Well, that sounds like a hot, that sounds like some hot action.
	I would be behind that.
	I wish more defense contractors would be telling people about the news.
	So, well, that's so Vince.
	That's the problem.
	I'm a libertarian, but I believe in a strong defense.
	I believe that America should be the most powerful country in the world.
	I believe that America should be a six-foot-five bully who starts bar fighting.
	Okay, Vince.
	So, but what do you do?
	It said that you're going to be touring with Glenn Beck.
	Glenn Beck isn't a libertarian.
	He's crazy.
	I think you've said that several times now.
	I think you've established the fact that you think Glenn Beck is crazy.
	I do.
	I do.
	This phone call, I was like, I wonder if Jimmy Dorr thinks Glenn Beck is crazy.
	Now that you've said it, 18 to 25 comments, I thought it would be a good idea.
	Oh, wow.
	I'm getting the full dose of Vince Vaughan pushing money.
	So, Vince, what is it that makes you answer, sweetheart?
	So, what is it that makes you a libertarian versus a liberal?
	Well, liberals, I don't have the liberals have agendas.
	That's what a liberal is.
	They want to control other people's lives.
	I don't want people controlling my life.
	When I wake up in the morning and have a little coffee and maybe a little egg, I don't know.
	Maybe some waffles.
	I want to have the rest of my day be something that I want to do.
	I don't want people telling me what kind of guns I can't have.
	I don't know why people tell me to wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle around.
	You don't think motorcycle helmet laws are a good thing?
	I don't think anyone should be telling me what to put on my head.
	I don't think you want anyone telling you to put on your head, Jimmy Dorr.
	Well, if I want to get out of there, the government says everyone has to wear like a big Carmen Miranda fruit hat all over the fucking place.
	Well, that happens.
	I'll deal with it.
	But until then, I think, you know, it's slippery soap.
	Slippery slope.
	You start with the helmets and then you got to wear the banana.
	So you can't tell me what you're going to be doing on tour with Glenn Beck.
	I don't even.
	We don't know.
	We'll see what's happened.
	We're going to go across the country.
	We're going to see when, you know, find some chicks.
	I don't know what's going to happen.
	It's going to be exciting, though, because I'm famous and he's famous.
	Okay.
	All right.
	And I'm a libertarian, and he's an independent thinker.
	Okay.
	Gonna find some answers.
	What do you, what did you find those answers?
	We'll call you up and we'll inform you, Jimmy Dorr, on your show exclusively what those answers are.
	okay.
	I appreciate that.
	Can you tell me what do you think Glenn Beck meant when he called the president who is a product of a black father and a white mother?
	He called him a racist who hates white people or the white culture.
	Can you understand?
	Can you explain that to me?
	And aren't you embarrassed?
	I think it's self-explanatory.
	I think I need to explain that.
	That's a very clear sense.
	Yeah, I know, but do you agree with that?
	And aren't you embarrassed to be associating yourself with someone who says something like that?
	Well, of course, President Obama is a racist.
	He's not white, or at least he's not completely white.
	That means he's racist against white people.
	Have you ever met a black person that wasn't racist against white people?
	Yeah, to be honestly.
	You know, I can't see it.
	Have you ever met a black person who's not racist against white people?
	I can't see into a man's heart, but I'd have to agree with you.
	Most black guys are racist.
	I got you, Jimmy Dore.
	I got to cut that out.
	Okay, so, well, Vince, so you can't tell.
	So what are you guys going to be doing when you tour?
	I mean, come and see.
	Have you ever seen Chris Rock's action?
	Yes.
	You're a comedian.
	I don't get a warm, fuzzy feeling about white people when I watch those actions.
	Okay.
	So what are you?
	But what are you going to be doing on tour with Glenn Beck?
	I mean, can you tell me?
	Actually, no, because I don't really know that much about what is going on.
	We're not going on tour.
	We're starting a reality show where we find the next big documentary filmmaker.
	Oh, really?
	Okay.
	Who himself or herself will be a dedicated thinker and a truth fighter, like we are.
	Okay.
	That's like Glenn Beck and I got together.
	We want to find the truth.
	We want to think independently.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	And I mean, independent of everyone else on it.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	All right, Vince.
	I appreciate you taking time to talk with us.
	And we'll check back in with you after you.
	Thank you very much.
	You're a prince of a man, Jimmy Doran.
	Do you know this?
	You're a prince of a man.
	Don't let anyone ever tell you differently.
	And we're going to find out.
	I look forward to checking in with you to see how it goes along the way.
	Your collaboration with Glenn Beck.
	It's going to be fantastic.
	And you, Jimmy Dorn, don't take any crap from anybody.
	Crap from public radio.
	Don't take any crap from the young Turks.
	Okay.
	Don't let them turk you down when you pay whatever you get paid over there.
	Too late.
	Don't take any shit from your co-hosts, your Frank Conniffs, Robert Yasimers, Paul Gil Martins, if he ever fucking comes by anymore.
	Who else?
	Steve Rosenfield?
	Don't take any shit from them.
	You're beautiful, baby.
	I appreciate that.
	Steve Rosen.
	Yeah.
	But actually, your wife, you probably should do what she says.
	Oh, boy.
	Tough day.
	Tough day today.
	Thanks for doing this impression.
	Wait, are we still on the phone call?
	It sounds like a weird way to end it.
	There was no clear ending to this.
	I'm still your character.
	I don't know what you're doing.
	Vince, I appreciate it.
	Thank you for taking time to.
	Is it okay if we check in with you along the way to see how your collaboration with Glenn Beck is going?
	Absolutely.
	I applaud it.
	Please keep in touch.
	but right now I have to go cause I'm going to go date rape some teenagers.
	Okay.
	Oh, my mind is wandering.
	God damn it.
	Hey, you know what?
	Why don't you try to focus on the Jimmy Dore show because you're Jimmy Dore?
	Seems to me that would be a good idea of something you might want to do.
	I'm trying.
	Okay, Vince, I appreciate it.
	Thanks for your always a gentleman.
	If nothing else, you're a gentleman and a smooth talker who I love to listen to talk.
	And we'll check in with you down the line, see how your collaboration with Glenn Beck is going.
	That sounds like a great idea.
	You and I will never speak again, fuckface.
	Goodbye, Vince.
	Okay, that was Vince Fawn.
	Oh, what a gift.
	Is there anything Mike McCrae can't do?
	Now he does Vince Vaughan.
	He also did Barack Obama in a call written by Robert Yasamura today.
	And I want to thank everybody who helped write the show today.
	Steve Rosenfield, Frank Conniff, Steph Samurano, Robert Yasamura, Mark Van Landewitt, and Jim Earl, by the way, who did his morning remembrance earlier, which you can pick up a copy of that book over at jimerl.com.
