This week, the Republican National Committee released the report of its task force assigned to examine what went wrong in the last election.
According to the report, the GOP must press for immigration reform, gay tolerance, and work harder for the votes of young people and minorities.
But the question remains, how to do all that and still be the party of an angry mob with pitchforks.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said focus groups described the GOP as narrow-minded, out of touch, and stuffy old men.
And those are the people that like them.
Indeed, this is a time of crisis for Republicans as a serious ideological battle rages between the party's two right wings.
Libertarian crackpots versus pragmatic sons of bitches.
Crucially, the report strongly favored immigration reform as the only way to slow down Hispanic production of what it called Democrat babies.
The party also needs to tone down its anti-gay rhetoric.
For example, Republicans can still oppose same-sex marriage while pointing out that gay men often make the best wedding planners.
The GOP is also launching a $10 million marketing campaign to encourage women, gays, and minorities to sell each other out.
Ha ha ha!
Good job.
I want to be here!
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
the show for the kind of people that are It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk when you keep adding.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Yeah!
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's episode.
I'm joining the studio, host of Comedy and Everything Else, our resident Latina, Steph Zamorano.
Hi, Steph.
How are you?
Oh, Jaime.
All right, great.
Across the glass from me, it's a former writer for The Daily Show and the author of the hilarious book, Morning Remembrance, Fake Obituaries of Real Dead People.
It's Ham Radio's Jim Earle.
Hi, Jimmy.
My brand-defining envelope-pushing comedy yields actionable iviation in a seamlessly seamless media ecosystem.
Okay, I don't know what that means, but it was funny.
I got to tell you, that was good stuff.
Next to him, a hilarious comedian from Team Yasimura, Robert Yassimura.
Hello, Robert.
Alahim.
Good to have you here.
Across from him, it's former writer for The Daily Show, hilarious comedian Steve Rosenfield.
Hey, Steve, how are you?
Good, Jimmy.
How are you doing?
I'm doing good.
Good rant.
Nice stuff.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We learned a lot about you today before the show started.
You've never bought bleach.
I've never bought bleach.
Buys a lot of pine fall, though.
I've never bleached clothes.
You've never been a heroin addict?
No.
Should I be?
Well, bleach, you got to really help.
You've got to clean it with bleach.
Oh, I didn't know that.
I felt dirtier talking to these guys because they have bleach and all kinds of, they know about bartender's friend.
I don't know about any of those.
Barkeeper's friend.
Okay.
What's the barkeep's friend?
Barkeeper's friend?
Just scouring kind of gel stuff.
It's really great.
Really?
And powder.
Use it on your all-clad wear and all kinds of stuff at home in the kitchen and the tub.
It works.
I like it.
Like magic.
I like the term all-clad wear.
I like that.
Okay, let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Did you hear gay marriage is in the news again?
Because Senator Saxby Chambliss, he's a Republican senator.
He came out and he said he can't support gay marriage because he said, quote, I'm not gay.
Translation, he's gay.
And by the way, Frank is not with us today.
He had a, yes, he had a special duty show business called, and so he had to.
So when, you know, there's a level of show business, and whatever he's doing right now trumps this level.
And I think he's actually pitching a television show.
I'm a little worried about Frank.
He might be out of touch with the youth culture.
When I was in college, his show was the hippest thing with the college kids.
But now, MTV just turned down his new idea.
It's called America's Next Reverse Mortgage Pitch Man.
He is out of time.
I think he might be a little out of touch.
Even that's too current a reference for Frank.
Hey, by the way, you guys, did you guys know it's the 10-year anniversary of the Iraq war?
Oh, yes, I did.
Yeah, huh?
Did you guys have a chance?
How did you guys celebrate?
As usual.
I jerked off.
Oh, nice.
Well, what I did is I found a bullshit excuse to beat up a weaker person who never attacked me.
Sure is.
You know, Donald Rumsfeld tweeted about the Iraq war anniversary.
Yeah, he actually celebrated that.
He tweeted, he celebrated.
He said, well, actually, I'm just impressed he can type with all that blood on his hands, aren't you?
Hey, did you guys check out CPAC?
I hear Sarah Palin's CPAC speech this year.
It was entitled, How to Stay Irrelevant in a World You Have No Influence In.
It worked.
I heard it was a big hit.
I heard her C is packed.
All those kids.
Her C is packed.
His earphones fell off.
Bat made my earphones fly off.
That's that joke.
I hear.
Reverse mortgage.
Okay, what's coming up on today's show?
We're going to talk about John Boehner.
Gets asked point blank if he had a gay kid, how would he feel about gay marriage?
The answer might surprise you.
Or will it?
We might never know.
Plus, we're going to talk about the 10-year anniversary with one of the guys who was a big pusher of the tenure of the Iraq war, who was on Martin Bashir from the Brookings Institute, by the way, ladies and gentlemen.
Also, we're going to talk about gun reform and it dying on the vine in the Senate.
And we're going to talk about the rape trial that CNN caught a lot of heat for by the way they covered it.
People thought they were maybe a little too nice to the rapists.
And we're also going to talk about CPAC had a bunch of little talks or what would you call them?
Seminars.
Seminars.
And the one we're going to talk about was called, quote, Trump the Race Card.
Are you tired of being called a racist when you know you're not one?
It was run by a black guy.
Okay, so we're going to talk about that.
Plus, a lot lot more.
That's today.
Oh, we got phone calls from John Boehner, Luke Russert, and B.B. Netanyahu calls in.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
We'll be right back.
Time for another installment of Oh My God.
Okay, on this week's Oh My God segment, we're not going to go to the crazies this time because it's, I know it's a little, but we're going to go right to Meet the Press and Chris Matthews, right?
So Meet the Press.
They had on David Gregory, who's Jewish, by the way.
He's not.
I'm sorry to hear that.
He's not a Catholic, but he did say that he was caught up in the I don't have a clip of it, but he did say that he was caught up in the excitement over the new Pope being he was all about it.
Yeah, I don't know how you could be Jewish and get excited about a new pope.
I don't know how you couldn't have cared less.
How could you be that's like being Catholic and being excited that they got a new leather cover for the Torah?
I don't even know if that's a thing.
Steve, you people are so gullible.
You'll follow anybody.
I love this Pope.
So he had on, David Gregory I had on Cardinal Francis George, the Archbishop of Chicago.
And well, he asked him a question.
Let's just get right.
Let's get right to it.
Here we go.
Here's his question.
But, Your Eminence, isn't that part of the struggle?
First of all, it kind of bothers me when a newsman refers to anybody as your eminence.
Like, is this an episode of Star Trek?
Because you have those sharp collars.
Are you kidding me?
You know, Cardinal George, he's the quiet one.
John, Cardinal John, he's got that.
He's the real creature.
Yes.
The wisecracking guy.
The wisecracking guy.
Cardinal Ringo is kind of dumb.
He was kind of dumb.
But they have longevity.
Right.
So here we go.
Here's his question.
But, Your Eminence, isn't that part of the story?
Why is he calling him your eminence?
That seems so insulting.
Your M ⁇ Ms?
Your Honor.
He's just really.
Your lordship.
Your M ⁇ Ms, right?
Your Snickers bar, your eminence.
So, Your Eminence isn't.
Eminem.
He keeps saying...
All right.
Defoe the Robot.
But Your Eminence, isn't that part of the struggle?
What you're speaking about is preaching from the Gospels.
So many Catholics in this country see that tension between church doctrine and their own life experience, their own consciences that are leading them in a different direction.
Whether there's a majority of Catholics in America who support gay marriage, those who call for a greater role for women in the church, who are less opposed to abortion or even contraception.
How does he resolve that tension?
Well, I'm not sure you can resolve it as a matter of principle.
All those issues weren't around 50 years ago.
What has happened to our culture that suddenly these become cultural imperatives?
So he just said that we're not going to resolve it.
Go to pound sand.
We're not going to resolve it.
We're going to keep subjugating women and being anti-gay until the cows come home.
So if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
You guys can keep asking us these questions.
It doesn't matter.
We've been raping children for thousands of years with impunity.
Do you think we care about gays?
It's like Darion Supriebus is in charge of the Catholics.
It's like, he looks a little like Ryan.
And listen to what he said, too, how he kind of dismisses it.
Let's listen to that again.
Dissolve it when it means it's a matter of principle.
All those issues weren't.
It's a matter of principle.
And we don't have any.
To subjugate women.
It's a matter of principle to subjugate women, is what he's saying.
And to hate gays, Robert.
Yeah.
Well, my favorite part is where he says, you know, those things didn't exist 50 years ago.
First of all, they did.
Second of all, are you saying all forward momentum for the church stopped 50 years ago?
Like, look, we, 50 years ago, we just stopped.
We're not going to deal with anything more.
We feel like we've done enough.
Just show up.
We'll give you the cracker.
We'll give you the wine.
We're going to coast like crazy now.
We're just going to coast.
Well, I think we're here.
Let's listen to him.
Around 50 years ago, what has happened to our culture that suddenly these become cultural imperatives?
So what he's saying is, hey, none of these, these weren't even questions 50 years ago, gay rights or subjugating women.
So, you know what?
Let's just forget about it.
It's a fad.
It's what he's that.
It's a passing fan.
That's exactly what he's saying.
Subjugating women.
It's just a fad.
I don't think anybody cares.
People who are upset about us being bigoted towards gays, that's just a passing fancy, man.
People are going to get back on the gay-hating bandwagon in a couple of decades.
To be fair, they were right about that when it came to the Holocaust.
That thing eventually went away.
It did blow over.
Yeah.
It did blow over.
Okay, he's got a little bit more to say.
And in history, when you take a look at the societies that come and go and countries come and go, when the chips are down, people will always go with their society, usually, not always.
And those that don't are the minority very often.
No, I don't know what he just said.
What is he talking about?
Did you know what he just said?
I didn't understand a word.
He just said, if you look over history, societies come and go, and when the chips are down, people go with their society.
Except some that are in the minority.
When the society's gone, how do they go with it?
No, what he's saying is that the vast majority of people will go with the culture that exists in the fleeting moment, the same way they would with a fashion.
But what he's suggesting is that Catholicism is forever.
That's what he is.
That's what he's saying.
You're right.
That's exactly what he's saying.
He's saying, hey, listen, the Catholic Church has been around for 2,000 years, longer than the Roman Empire, right?
Oh, by far.
And longer than any empires, right?
They've been around.
No, no.
Longer than the Roman Empire?
No, how long was Rome?
Oh, I'm sorry.
The true empire from the time of Caesar is only about 400 years ago.
I thought he meant before.
Yeah, that's not what I meant, Jim.
Okay, so.
Oh, Christ.
It starts already.
He's got a little bit of...
Yes.
And he's suggesting only the special people are the ones who stay true to hating gays and subjugating women.
Exactly.
There we go.
Wow.
What we want to do is to create a society through dialogue that isn't quite as much at odds with the gospel of Jesus Christ as it seems ours has become at times at least.
So he's saying that they're trying to create a society through dialogue that is more in line with the gospels of Jesus Christ.
You know how Jesus said, subjugate women and be bigoted towards gays.
Remember he said that?
Really, the best way to get that dialogue going is by ignoring the society in which you actually live.
And then really start the dialogue from there.
Nice.
Very nice, Robert.
He's got a little bit of a double.
They didn't even have dialogue when they were casting their votes for the Pope.
Yes, there's no dialogue.
There's no dialogue when they do that.
It's all in secret.
Right.
It's exactly right.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Again, however, the church is universal.
And so, you know, we have to stay with the entire church, and we have to stay with categories that aren't cultural.
Conservative and liberal are the categories you use.
You'll be using them today.
Our categories are what is true and what is false.
And then what's the evidence for that?
Yes, and what's true is that gays are inferior, immoral, and should be bigoted to be discriminated against.
And women are weak and are second-class citizens and should be subjugated and should have no say in the direction of the church.
And the evidence for that is a 2,000-year-old magic book.
Well, his name is Jesus, not Gisette.
Right?
Oh, because he was a guy and he was a man.
He's a guy, not a gal.
And it's not Adam and Steve either.
Yes, it's Adam and Eve.
People would be looking up a dress onto that crucifix.
That wouldn't be good with it.
So that was David Gregory on Press to Meet with his eminence.
His Eminems.
His Eminems.
His EMMs.
So what he was actually just saying was that the church is universal, meaning that all these passing fads, they're going to go to the wayside, but we're steadfast, and we're going to continue subjugating women and hurting kids, torturing kids.
And we have a lot of money.
Okay.
So that's how we can keep it.
That's exactly right.
Eurenima, if I may ask another question.
Eurenima.
That's funny.
We should do that.
Okay, so now here comes a very strange clip.
This is keeping it the theme.
Now, if people think that I'm beating up on the Catholic Church, I'm not.
I'm just giving you the...
I'm giving you the other side that you're not seeing in the media, right?
because ever since they've been announcing the Pope was stepping down and we're going to get a new one, it's been non-stop smoke being blown up the Catholic Church's ass, and it's driving me crazy, even to the point where David Gregory said that I got caught up in it and I'm Jewish.
How is anybody excited about this?
It isn't.
You're appointing at best an old man.
I know.
We're not talking about like, you know, Van Halen getting back together.
You're not?
Or actually.
Van Halen getting back together.
Van Halen.
Well, talk about old men, but we're not talking about like something that's exciting in any meaningful way.
I couldn't agree with you more, Robert.
But Chris Matthew, here.
So this clip coming up, Chris Matthews has asked about the conservative nature of the church as influence on American public policy, particularly when it comes to gay marriage, right?
But instead of answering that question, he launches into a stream of consciousness rant about how conflicted he and other Catholics are in private over the matter of child rape and its continual systemic cover-up.
Well, listen.
Here we go.
But there is a real split on some of the issues that we are debating in America right now that are about social policy where the church, you know, Benedict was very doctrinaire on this and quite conservative on the issue of gay marriage, for example.
Yeah, I mean, there's, I can't say all this on television because there's what a lot of us go to church talk about a lot of it is something it really doesn't sound like.
Okay, I just want to stop it right there, Jim.
I saw it.
He's kind of making that that made your head snap back a little bit, didn't it?
He said, I can't talk about this.
I'm television.
What are you talking about on television?
Wow, wow, wow.
He's a media genius.
This man.
He's like Orson Welles behind the camera.
All the technical aspects of everything that's going on.
It doesn't sound right to talk about this on television news programs.
Yeah, this isn't the place to speak truth to power.
It's a place to sell prescription medications.
That's right, get real.
All right, he's getting a little bit more.
Here we go.
Right on television.
But there's always been a real suspicion.
Generally speaking, I want to play that again with the church.
I want to hear Chris Matthews say that one more time about how he shouldn't be talking about this on television.
I mean, I can't say all this on television because there's what a lot of us go to church talk about.
A lot of it is something that really doesn't sound right on television.
But there's always been a real suspicion, generally speaking, about the way the church handled this sexual abuse of altar boys.
And Governor Keeney was involved in trying to deal with that horrible thing.
But it was never dealt with quick enough.
I think speed is like Watergate.
You have to be there all those years when nothing was getting done.
And every time you drive by the vice president's house and watch.
Okay, now listen to this.
This is a crazy story that he tells right now.
He's going to tell a story about this guy who was raped by a priest who stood out in front of some church across the street from the vice president's house.
I didn't know the vice president had a house.
I thought he lived in the White House.
I guess not.
And I didn't even know that.
I always thought the vice president lived in the basement.
They all live in the same little nest.
I thought the vice president lived in the basement.
I swear to God, I did.
So isn't that funny?
I know.
It's so like a weird commune.
So I guess there was this guy who was raped by a priest who would stand out in front of this church across the street from the vice president's house with a sign every morning saying, hey, this guy raped me and nothing's being done about it.
So this is the story he's going to tell right now, okay?
And all right, there we go.
Getting done.
And every time you drive by the vice president's house in Washington here, across the street, which is the papal nunciature, is this guy standing on the corner who said he was a beautiful, and I believe it looking at him, who was abused by priests back when he was.
And he believes it looking at him.
You can tell a guy who had a errant penis stuck in him.
You can tell.
How can you tell by looking at a guy that it really?
Because he's still wearing his altar boy outfit.
With fishnets.
Okay.
All right, here we go.
I love this.
I can't love this more.
Here we go.
Sure.
Is this guy standing on the corner who said he was a, and I believe it, looking at him, who was abused by priests back when he was a kid?
Did he have a hole in the back of his pants?
What do you mean?
You believe it looking at him.
Okay, here we go.
This guy was on the corner every day I drove home on 34th and Mass.
Every single day he's out there with a sandwich board.
And I never once stopped to interview him, and I never once decided to make that a story on my new show.
It's not like I was a journalist.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
The only other problem was on the other side of the sandwich board.
It said, eat it, Fred.
I mean, what good could it have possibly done as a Catholic with Chris's journalistic reputation to speak up about pedophilia in the church?
I don't think so.
Nothing.
In an unrelated news, he also looked the other way when Cheney and Rumsfeld were raping Iraq.
So here we go.
He's got more a lot of rape.
He was there before 2000.
And all those years, the church was slow to act.
And I think that's slow.
So he's just said this guy with this sandwich board talking about rape in the church was there before 2000.
And Chris saw him every day on his way into church.
And he just mentions it now.
And he's just mentioning this now.
Hang on, here we go.
They were covering up more than just this.
That there are a lot of people with their own embarrassments.
Perhaps sexual, they didn't want to get out.
And every Catholic Church.
You think, Chris?
You think he thinks like this?
And they don't like talking about it.
Maybe I shouldn't have just now.
He thinks there were others.
Wait, wait, wait.
Let's listen to this.
Listen to how he again says he shouldn't be talking about it.
There are a lot of people with their own embarrassments.
Perhaps sexual, they didn't want to get out.
And every Catholic that goes to church thinks like this.
And they don't like talking about it.
Maybe I shouldn't have just now.
What?
What is he talking about?
Yes, Chris.
That's what this situation that was fostered by secrecy and sexual shame and the threat of whatever.
Yes, that's what we need, more secrecy.
That's what, you know what they say?
The best disinfectant is darkness.
Isn't that what they say?
You wouldn't know about that, Steve.
Because I don't buy bleach.
You don't buy bleach.
So here's Chris Matthews saying, and this guy was out there before the year 2000, and he was out there every day.
And just by looking at him, Chris could tell that this guy got raped by a priest.
And which is curious because during the Jerry Sandusky trial, Chris had this to say about media's responsibility with reporting pedophilia.
And will it surprise you?
The answer just might.
Or will it?
Here we go.
Here's Chris.
Journalism has to be respectful.
I understand that.
But for years, these cases of adult sexual abuse of children have been soft-pedaled in the media.
We've gotten used to words like molested without any idea what's being described.
There's been too much avoidance of what should have been described clearly.
The result has been an unintentional downplaying of the charges.
Perhaps, just perhaps, this has helped the perpetrators and those covering up for them escape the full public outrage and with it rebuke that finally occurred but didn't for so long in such cases.
I'm referring to my church here.
Like so many millions of others, I never got the picture in the early going.
I never understood what was going on in these cases of priests abusing older boys.
Wow.
He said he never didn't really know what was happening at first.
It took him a long time.
He couldn't wrap his mind around it.
Why, Chris?
Never could get my thinking around it properly because of the hesitant manner in which the cases and allegations were reported.
Chris, I don't know if you know, but you had a new show during this time, and you could have reported this because you just admitted that before the year 2000, you saw a guy with a sandwich board who was telling you that he was raped by a priest, yet somehow you didn't report it.
You never stopped the car to interview that guy.
You could just tell by cruising by with your journalistic eagle eye that this guy was telling the truth and you should ignore him.
Slow to act.
That's what he's saying.
Slow to act.
They weren't slow to act.
They didn't act.
I don't know if you've done, they haven't acted at all.
That's very slow.
That's very slow.
There's been no serious discussion about the problems of the church doctrine that created the perfect context for this kind of stuff to happen in the first place.
Like, I don't know, say shaming children about their sexuality in the first place.
Or how about let's not letting priests marry?
Maybe we should look into that.
No one's ever suggested we stop vesting priests with godlike authority.
And how about we examine the culture of secrecy and ritual inside the Catholic Church?
So none of that has happened.
And this is Chris talking about we talk about in secret.
We don't like to talk about it out loud because that might solve the problem.
This has been common knowledge ever since the first priest raping a kid altered boy joke, though.
And that's been, those have been generated for the last 100, 200 years.
How many when I've said, I tell this story all the time when I speak about this.
When I became a comedian from my first open mic over 20 years ago, at the first open mic, there must have been three guys doing predophile priest jokes.
Yeah, it was common knowledge then.
And it took at least 10 more years before it to start showing up in the press.
They weren't slow to act.
They acted just fine.
What they acted on was their impulse to cover it up even more.
Once again, Chris Matthews gets to the bottom of absolutely nothing.
This has been, oh my God.
Oh my God.

So on the line, we have Luke Russert.
Luke, Luke, how are you, buddy?
Joe, Jimmy.
Woohoo!
Luke, you sound like you're really partying it up.
What's going on?
Come on, Jimmy.
I'm a young guy, and I like to party down.
And this week is the 10th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq.
Woohoo!
Bro, I've been parting my ass off all week.
Luke, come on.
This is the anniversary of a horrible tragedy.
Is it really a cause for celebration?
Is it really?
Jimmy, this week is a commemoration of a great triumph.
A great triumph?
What would that great triumph be?
Exactly.
Yes, a triumph, the triumph of Meet the Press over ABC's This Week and CBS's Face the Nation.
My dad's show, Meet the Press.
Kicked those shows, asses in the ratings back during the Iraq war.
That was a golden time, dude.
My dad, Tim Russert, got all the cool interviews, like with Dick Cheney and stuff.
Yeah, Meet the Press, where Dick Cheney said that we were going to be greeted as the liberators, right?
Yeah, and you know what's cool?
Last night at the Georgetown Ooters, when they were setting up jello shots for me and David Gregory, I say, woo, when we throw these back, we will be treated as intoxicators.
Oh, fun anniversaries call for fun times, my friend.
Wait a minute.
You partied with David Gregory at a Hooters?
Hell yeah, man.
The Gregonator loves to get down on it, dude.
Didn't you see him breakdance with Karl Rove?
I did see that, and I haven't stopped vomiting ever since.
I feel you, bro.
At a certain point last night, I puked all over Chuck Todd.
David Gregory asked if I wanted him to call me a cab.
Did he call you a cab?
No, on account of he never found out because he doesn't ask follow-up questions.
I swear to God, I was puking and shitting at the same time.
Really, really?
You know, both sides do it.
When you're that drunk.
Both sides do.
Okay.
Luke, Luke, seriously, aren't you being a bit frivolous about a conflict that was based on false information that your dad, among many others, reported and that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people, American and Iraqi?
Dude, you are so harshing my buzz right now.
Look, I'm very proud of the fact that after my dad's reports on the Iraq war, he never had a single awkward moment at any dinner parties in Washington.
That is something I aspire to.
Dream.
I myself don't have many uncomfortable moments at DT parties.
Well, except for that one time, I asked Andrea Mitchell how she can possibly let Alan Greenspan get on top of her without ganging on her own spit.
Come on.
That's just my inquisitive repertorial nature.
Yes, great question.
Listen, Luke, don't you think the media dropped the ball 10 years ago?
I mean, don't you think the Belt Rape, the Beltway press enabled a rush to war, don't you think?
What's wrong with the rush to war?
It just means that we left out all the boring parts and got straight to the cool stuff.
It's like my broadcast journalism career.
I skipped over all the dollcrap, being an intern, getting coffee for producers, working as a stringer and learning the business bit by bit until I'm experienced enough to become a knowledgeable owner correspondent.
Who needs that crap?
Yeah.
I went straight from being some guy's son to being on TV every day.
I'll tell you, man, if you're going to have a career, nepotism is totally the way to go.
I don't know why anyone would do it any other way.
Okay, I don't either, Luke.
Hey, Luke, thanks for joining us today.
You're a very nice guy, but you're completely useless at your job.
Did you know that?
Yes, you're right, Jimmy.
I'm going to get my own show soon.
Thanks for the pep talk, my brother.
Okay, that was Luke Russert joining us.
Thank you, Luke.
Wow.
Wow, that was fun.
Did you enjoy Luke Russert?
Thank you very much, or you're welcome.
I don't know which one.
Either way.

I'll let you know about the premium content at the end of the show, okay?
But I just want to let everybody know nothing makes me feel better than people becoming premium members or using our Amazon.com link.
The only thing that makes me feel better than that might be my new dog, Brownie.
We got a new dog.
We went to the SBCABCD, and we got a little miniature pincher/slash chihuahua.
And I didn't think a dog could be this cute or adorable.
And he is.
We got really lucky.
He's a great dog.
So if I sound calmer and happier, it's because I have a little bundle of joy in my life.
Okay.
My wife picks good ones.
She picked a good doggie.
Okay, now let's get back to the second half of the show.
We've got a lot of stuff coming up in the second half.
We've got calls from Benjamin Netanyahu, John Boehner, and even more.
Here we go.
So I don't know if you heard, but Senator Rob Portman, by the way, a new Washington Post poll found that the support for same-sex marriage is at historic highs.
In fact, 58% of Americans back the right from gays and lesbians to marry, compared with only 36% who believe they should be banned.
So that's a pretty big majority, right?
That's almost six out of 10 people are in fact a big majority, right?
If you got six out of 10 votes, you can be considered a landslide in an election.
But his eminence would think it was just a fad.
But guess how many, yes, your MMs would think it was just a fad, this gay marriage thing.
But guess how many Republican senators are pro-gay marriage?
Just one.
One.
Portman.
Would be one.
And the guy's name is Ron Portman.
Rob.
Rob, I'm sorry.
Rob Portman.
And in fact, let me get back to the study.
Did you know that a complete 81% young voters, 81% of young voters support same-sex marriage, and 58% of overall voters support it.
And only one Republican senator, and that guy's name is Rob Portman.
And the reason why Rob Portman is for gay marriage is because his son came out as a gay guy two years ago.
Yes, two years ago.
So it only took him two years.
John Boehner went on this week with Martha Radish and Radishes.
And Martha Radish is asked, she put this question to John Boner like this.
Listen, Rob's a great friend and a longtime ally.
And I appreciate that he's decided to change his views on this.
But I believe that marriage is a union of a man and a woman.
Hey, listen, Rob Portman and I are good friends, but as a Republican, I firmly believe that having a gay child is something that happens to someone else.
Surveys prove that.
I love my Republican gay friend, her son who's not dead yet.
I mean, if I changed my mind on a position just because it was based on complete horseshit, why would I keep saying that cutting taxes creates jobs in the first place?
Why would I do that?
Listen, there's a big difference between Rob Portman and myself.
I don't have to worry about Rob Portman's son hating my guts.
Couldn't care less.
All right, here we go.
He's got a little bit more to say.
Can you imagine yourself in a situation where you reversed your decision, as Portman has, on gay marriage, if a child of yours or someone you love told you they were gay?
So now if your kid turned out to be gay, Johnny, would you hate him?
Would you hate him?
I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman.
It's what I grew up with.
It's what I believe.
Yeah, and what do you think I am?
I'm the speaker of the house, not the mayor of Provincetown.
My son is not gay, and neither is the other guys in the tanning booth yet.
Look, it's what I grew up with.
Like racism.
I see no reason to change.
Why would you ever change?
Ever.
Here we go.
It's what my church teaches me.
My church is never wrong.
When has the church ever been wrong about anything?
Here we go.
I believe it's what my church teaches me.
And I can't imagine that position would ever change.
Yeah, listen, Rob Portman can say whatever he likes about gay marriage, but I'm not about to turn my back on the millions of Americans who are grossed out by it.
I like the there's a flaw in the premise of the question is when she goes, Can you imagine?
Stop there.
Can you imagine?
John Boehner cannot imagine anything.
It is only what is in front of him that is being dealt with.
This must have been what it was like to be around in the 60s and watch everybody hang those Dixie Crats and whatever hanging on to segregation now, segregation too much.
Like, no, it's moving forward.
You guys really can't see where this is going very quickly.
But I think that the lesson here is that John Boehner could never love anybody enough to think something else through.
Which I would believe.
I don't know.
You loosen up him up with some cigarettes and red wine.
Yes.
I'll fold him or anything.
And then his position is just, I believe.
That's it.
I believe.
That is what I think.
We have to move on from that.
I just believe this.
It's what I was raised like.
I believe it.
It's what I've been told.
Therefore, it's good public policy.
That's right.
*music*
Hey, let me get your thoughts on something.
What the fuckabelle is Rob Portman thinking?
I mean, we've all got gay kids.
Hell, I got two of my secret family in Canada.
Lindsey Graham and this Romanian lover have gone Madonna style and adopted gay kids from six cabinets.
We keep that shit quiet.
You know what I'm saying?
Because the home of money don't pay my bills, my brother.
You think David Geffen and Elton John are chopping at the cock to hold a fundraiser for me?
Of course they're not.
By the way, I hear that a Geffen John fundraiser is like Sodom and Gamara with pile-driving dance music.
Just beautiful, oily men walking around offering canopies and cock it's like the opposite of a Republican fundraiser.
All speeches of country music and clothed unoiled people.
I led to a thing at the Heritage Foundation the other day where there was a guy actually pulling teeth.
I mean, come on.
Look, man, the Republican Party has two groups that get at the far to piss off.
The evil wealthy and the incredibly ignorant.
And I'll tell you, the incredibly ignorant think that obos are like old school witches who are constantly consorting with Satan and having butt sex.
No, I know they're not.
Hell, the only thing that's going to bring home prices back for the break is an army of successful gay men and their relentless pursuit of sidewalk dining.
But I am walking a fine line here, and I don't need Bartman talking about how much he loves his bull-smoking son.
If we can't hate gays, then the whole charade is up, man.
We won't be able to serve our corporate masters, and our 401ks won't be worth the load of gay spooge.
Why am I telling you this?
These are inside-the-head thoughts.
Ah, stupid Boehner.
Stupid Bohner.
All right.
Well, live it alert.
All right.
This is John Bader reminding you that get up, get up, get up, get up, get down.
Eric Cantor is a joke in your town.

Let's talk about the 10-year anniversary of the Iraq war.
Now, if you were watching television, the television news people, they had on a bunch of people coming on to talk about the 10-year anniversary.
By the way, what's the traditional gift for that?
Is it C4?
Crow?
Is it bronze or C4?
Go ahead.
I bought a yellow cake for the anniversary.
Sorry it took so long for me to say that.
This is Michael O'Hanlon from the Brookings Institute.
Traditionally, a very liberal think tank.
Traditionally, a left-leaning think tank.
I wouldn't say it very lit.
I would say left-leaning.
And the reason I say that is because I would say the biggest issue of this generation, which would be the Iraq war, they were wrong on.
So they had on this guy, Michael O'Hanlon, who was a big cheerleader for the Iraq war when it first happened from the Brookings Institute.
And he bought all that garbage.
And so they asked him about, hey, looking back, what do you think about the, what are your thoughts?
And here's what he says.
You know, I'm not a huge fan of most of the folks from the Bush administration myself, but I do think that someone like Dick Cheney did not fundamentally seek to expand American influence, you know, imperialistically or go for big oil profits for his companies.
No, this guy's a professional.
He works at a think tank.
He's paid to think.
And this is what he thought.
I don't think Dick Cheney was trying to get any oil.
Wow.
This turns out I got the, I think I know who's in the running for world's shittiest detective.
I think it might be Michael O'Hanlon.
Here we go.
He's got more to say.
I think he was genuinely worried about what someone like Saddam is saying to do in power.
Who knew what Saddam Hussein would do in power?
He'd only been president of Iraq for 24 years.
He was a wild card.
Yes.
And it was just a coincidence that Cheney was employed by Halliburton, which just happened to get all the oil contracts.
It's got nothing to do with the what Saddam Hussein would do with the weapons that Cheney gave him.
Well, Cheney was genuinely worried, Robert, that Saddam Hussein would use those imaginary nuclear weapons of his to start an imaginary war, so we beat him to it.
That's what our images are.
Imaginary war.
Okay, so I'm going to go on a limb here and say Cheney's fears were probably overblown since Iraq had no nuclear bombs, just thousands of insurgents trying to kill us.
Okay, so here's he goes on.
He's got more to say, this guy.
He made the wrong call.
You could say his fears were overblown.
And I certainly do not agree with the way he talked about his concerns to the American people.
So you don't like the way he talked about the threat.
You mean that he lied about the threat, and you're against that, but his heart was in the right place.
Is that what you're saying?
That's what he's saying.
Okay, he goes on.
was a hyping of the threat and a willingness to associate Saddam with 9-11, which was never justifiable.
But I think that Cheney was motivated by a certain fear of what Saddam could do to that neighborhood, as opposed to...
So he was a coward and a liar who led us into a feudal disaster.
But it was a completely legitimate feudal disaster, according to this guy.
He was scared.
Because he was scared.
He really was afraid of him.
He was really scared.
The reason I'm playing this is because you hear a lot of people saying this, right?
Especially on the right.
This guy's on the left, and he's saying it.
Hey, you know, it's the best information.
That is a lie.
We now know that they lied so we can start a war because they wanted to take out Saddam Hussein since the first Gulf War.
This was all they never thought that they had the weapons anyway.
They knew they didn't.
They were just like, what's the best lie we can use to sell?
We all know this is true now.
Wilkinson, the Colin Powell's chief of staff, has said this, that they just lied.
They made stuff up.
It was get Iraq.
It had nothing to do with Afghanistan.
There weren't any good targets in Afghanistan.
So my point is that this guy still gets paid at a liberal think tank, and he couldn't be a worse thinker.
It's like, how come I can't get that job?
Obviously, you don't have to know your ass from a hole in the ground to be able to work at this think tank.
I sent him my ass from the hole in the ground.
Could I get that job?
I sent this guy an email.
I'm like, I would just like to ask you, like, you really, really, the worst detective in the history of detectives, is no one else's outrage at this guy but me?
I think they have to defend their crummy decisions and analyses at the time, or else they're totally illegitimate, right?
They have to say, well, we're still, well, we didn't know.
Yeah.
Rather than, boy, was I full of crap.
And they go, I should give my pay back for those years.
I should get back all my pay because I totally screwed up.
I feel terrible.
And he's still, this guy is such a good thinker that he still thinks that Dick Cheney was on the up and up.
These guys were on the up and up.
No, just describing him, just using the word genuinely.
Yeah, genuine at all.
Genuine.
And we talked about this on the premium content last week about that documentary on Dick Cheney and about how the guy who made the documentary said, you know, I really, you know, Dick Cheney was certain that you can't be weak in these situations.
And he was certain that you have to go to...
He didn't have convictions that Saddam was a threat.
He wasn't trying to save people's lives in America.
He was just wanting to invade Iraq to fill the pockets of his crony capitalist friends.
This is all this is about.
Did anybody disagree with what I said?
Well, can I say two things?
Sure.
This is like Iran-Contra, where it's like, if he honestly was sincere in his beliefs, then he's grossly incompetent.
Okay, and the other thing that for some reason no one is saying is Dick Cheney was never commander-in-chief.
He was not supposed to be leading us to war at all.
He was supposed to be sitting as president of the Senate, and that's it.
Ceremonial position.
Yeah.
I mean, no one wants to say that, by the way, the entire construct of this presidency was a violation of the Constitution.
This guy who gets paid to sit around and think about stuff has been thinking about this for 10 years, and this is the best he has to offer.
He's been thinking about this for 10 years.
If I spent 10 years thinking about something, I wouldn't be this good at missing the point.
He has failed.
So they bring on, so then this is on the same news show.
So thank God.
This is on MSNBC, by the way.
They bring this guy on, an MSNBC, because I guess that even MSNBC has to tell you the BS half of the story before they tell you the real side of the story.
They have to say, hey, see, this is the fake story that people tell you.
And now they bring on Jeremy Scahill from the nation to tell you the truth about what was actually happening.
At Saddam's most brutal, he was considered an ally of the United States.
Reagan's administration lifted him from the list of state sponsors of terror, then sold him weapons that he in turn then used on Iraqi Kurds.
Donald Rumsfeld met with Saddam Hussein and gave him a pair of cowboy spurs as a gift from Ronald Reagan.
I saw them when I went to the Saddam Museum in Baghdad a few months before the war started.
I mean, these guys came to power.
The neocons came to power with an agenda for regime change in Iraq, and on 9-11, they were salivating.
General Hugh Shelton, who was chair of the Joint Chiefs at the time, told me that Rumsfeld, Wolfwitz, all of these guys just started Iraq, Iraq, Iraq immediately at the first meeting after 9-11.
And, you know, the fact is that these guys had a mission to try to redraw the maps of the Middle East.
That's a fact.
And Dick Cheney did not invent the idea of the executive branch being a dictatorship when it comes to foreign policy in America.
Fortunately, President Obama has continued some of the things that Cheney and Rumsfeld and these guys laid the groundwork for earlier.
But my God, I mean, Cheney headed up Halliburton for the 1990s.
He had oil on the mind all the time.
And the irony is the U.S. isn't winning the oil in Iraq.
Those guys failed at their own game, the neocons.
They didn't even get the oil.
Notice he never even once mentioned Bush.
Right.
Because Bush is just this hapless idiot sitting there taking orders from Rumsfeld.
Yes, and Cheney.
Yeah, just a hapless idiot.
Up until about, I guess, 2005.
But all these guys, like Bush and Rumsfeld and Cheney, they all were in the military, right?
No, no, none of them turns out.
Oh, George Bush was.
He was in that champagne division.
Yeah, but he wasn't like to go out of the carriage.
And how many deferments did Cheney get?
Cheney got five deferments because he said he had better things to do than fighting that war.
And, you know, it's not like he's John Kerry who went to Vietnam but got shot in the ass running away.
Okay, so that was so, I just thought that was interesting because we've been hearing all that crap all this week from these and people are and they're just still employed.
They're still as big to fail.
All the pundits and politicians who told us 10 years ago that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, they've all been punished with higher salaries and more airtime.
Sounds like show business.
Where's Paul Wolfowitz?
Because he went and worked for the World Bank.
Yes, he was the head of the World Bank.
There's no wrong answers in this.
There's no way you say it's okay.
That's hilarious.
That's a great way to put it.
All right.
Next time I go to the World Bank, I'm going to steal one of their pants.
Bastards.
So remember how we were told that gun reform must happen?
Gun reform, we can't sandy hook.
We got to stand up.
But what did Barack Obama say it's going to take?
It will take commitment and compromise.
And most of all, it will take courage.
So that means it's not going to happen, right?
That's not going to happen.
It takes courage.
It's not going to happen.
In fact, the Senate bill that was supposed to lead to ban assault weapons like we had banned for 10 years, not going to happen after they killed 26-year-olds.
Not going to get it.
Here's Harry Reid came out, and why are we going to get it, Harry?
Here's Harry Reid talking.
Right now, her amendment, using the most optimistic numbers, has less than 40 votes.
That's not 60.
Wow, see, Harry, hey, Harry Reid's not going to let the perfect be the enemy of surrendering without a fight.
That's a good joke, Jim.
That is a good joke.
I remember writing that earlier today.
I started defending Harry Reid on that.
It was 40 votes.
It's pathetic.
I mean, why even try with that?
It's just idiotic.
I say you take it to a vote and you make those people stand up.
So here's what can't go on the record.
That's exactly right, Robert.
All right, Robert, you have a point.
Let me play this.
Hang on.
Put something on the floor that won't succeed.
I want something that will succeed.
So he's saying that I don't have the votes.
Why should I bring it up?
Well, it turns out, since he said this, they are going to bring it up for a vote, but it's an amendment.
So people will be on the record.
So I think that's good.
But I think it's, you know, this is Harry Reid.
That's what integrity is.
You drag your feet on gun reform when your own father blew his head off.
That's what he's got nostalgic about bullets.
Okay, if you'd like to hear the rest of our discussion about gun control and Harry Reid, get the podcast of the Jimmy Doer show.
You can get it for free at iTunes or at my website, JimmyDoorComedy.com.
And now moving on, Barack Obama's taking his first trip to Israel, and we've got Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone.
Guess what I have on the phone, you guys?
I have Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Benjamin, Prime Minister, Mr. Prime Minister, I really appreciate you taking time off and joining us today.
Jimmy, please call me BB.
Okay, I will.
Hey.
Did you hear that HBO canceled enlightened?
What the fuck?
You know, I'm not really into...
I'm sure Laura Dern will land on her feet like she always does.
Okay, okay.
Anyway, did you hear our president is over there visiting you right now?
Did you know that?
He's over there?
Oh, yes.
You don't sound excited at all about that.
It's like when my uncle Murray comes over for the sailor.
Jeez, I don't like him.
Can this not be over sooner?
I was a supporter of Mitt Romney.
I would prefer he were here instead right now.
Now, there is a man who would know how to visit the Holy Land.
Really?
Are you saying that Barack is bad at visiting the Holy Land?
Oh, it sucks.
He's too rational.
When people like Mitt Romney or these evangelicals come here, they get overwhelmed by history and shit.
They say things like, I can't believe I'm walking in the footsteps of Jeebus.
They get wobbly and malleable in the punny.
And that's when I know I can talk them into bombing Iran when they're weak like that.
I get it.
Okay.
But Obama is just sacheting around like he's in a new neighborhood or something.
Totally unfazed.
We took him to float in the Dead Sea.
Usually an intensely spiritual experience.
But he just put on his Ray-Bans, and that's for a pina colada.
This is the Holy Land, motherfucker, not sandals.
Oh, Prime Minister.
You know, you might actually, you might have to actually win him over with convincing arguments to your questionable policies, right?
Did you ever think of that?
Of course.
You American liberals, to you, Israel is the bad guy.
Palestine is the good guy.
No, no, I don't think we're saying that there's a good guy or a bad guy.
Israel's the good guy.
We're the good guy.
Yeah.
There should be no confusion.
We're not saying.
As we all know from science fiction movies, the good guys are always the one who boast about having an iron doll.
You have to admit, that does sound a little scary.
Well, yes.
Fun fact.
All IDF military infrastructure projects are named after Motorhead albums.
I can't wait to see Hamas tremble in their boots when we release Orgasmatron.
Hey, look, Prime Minister, no one is saying the Israelis are bad guys, but don't you think that there may be some justified criticism of your policies with regard to the occupied territories?
I mean, didn't you recently authorize settlement on a region called E1, which is the last strip of land that could possibly connect the Palestinian territories, thereby destroying all hope for a viable two-state solution?
On the surface of the ground, yes.
What is that?
What do you mean on the surface?
What do you mean on the surface of the ground?
Jimmy, you need to broaden your mind.
Okay.
All of this rhetoric assumes that space is planar.
We are working on something called the Z-axis solution.
What?
There are habitable regions underground as well.
The occupied territories are riddled with networks of cozy subterranean caverns that are very cool during our hot summers.
Don't you see?
Israelis can have the surface, and the Arabs can lead us into a new golden age of cave paintings.
As long as they try to keep the noise down on Shabbos, everybody wins.
Case closed on to Iran.
Okay, here we go.
On top of it.
Do not be glimpsed, Jimmy Door.
Iran poses an existential threat to the Jewish state.
Hey, look, no one wants Iran to get a nuclear weapon, but you just can't.
But nothing.
We need to act immediately to prevent it.
And by we, I mean you.
Ahmadinejad himself says he wants to wipe Israel off the map.
Well, actually, what he said was they wanted to erase Israel from the pages of history.
Oh.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Well, what do you mean?
Do you know what that means?
No, I don't.
What does that mean?
It's not a nuclear bomb.
Iran is working on a time machine.
I don't.
We have to stop Iran from acquiring a time machine.
What?
And Iran with the time machine capabilities is a ticking time bomb machine.
Time Holocaust.
What are you talking about?
We have to stop it.
You and me, Jimmy.
But isn't there a time travel paradox happening here?
If Iran develops a time machine sometime in the future, doesn't that mean that they already could have gone back in time and done whatever nefarious plan you worried about?
Oh, my God, you're right.
Yes.
Worse than I thought.
Okay, Jimmy, I better go.
I have to go outside and make sure Israel is still there.
Okay.
I might be out of a job.
Do you think David Feldman could hook me up as a staff writer somewhere?
You know, as one of the tribe.
Definitely not.
He doesn't hook anybody up.
Baby, go bye-bye.
LAUGHTER Whoever wrote that, I salute you.
Okay, the voice of Benjamin Netanyahu, performed and written by the inimitable Mike McRae, who can be found at mikemcrae.com.
He also did Luke Russard and John Boehner on today's show, the multi-talented Mike McRae.
All right.
I'm going to let you know about the premium content on this week's premium content.
CNN covered the Steubenville, Ohio rape case, and a lot of people felt they were a little too pro-rapist.
We definitely take a decision.
We come down on the side of that.
Plus, we continue our gun debate with Harry Reid, and we have a lot of laughy-laughies covered up by that.
Plus, plus CPAC happened again, and they had literally had a seminar entitled Trump the Race Card.
Are you tired of being called a racist when you know you're not one?
Now, if you're tired of being called a racist, you're a racist.
And guess what?
During the seminar, a racist actually stands up and spouts some racist stuff.
So we're going to talk about that.
We have the audio to play from that too on the premium content.
Plus a lot.
Plus, Jim Earl from he reads from his Morning Remembrance, right?
It's a funny obituary of a real dead person.
And you can get that book, which is hilarious, at jimearl.com.
It's Morning Remembrance.
We read from it all the time on the show.
If you've heard the show, you know it, and you'll love it.

You know, we started the show from nothing, and now we have a bunch of people, thousands of people who listen and enjoy the show.
So it's tens of thousands of people.
How about that?
Okay, so thanks again for listening, for getting the premium content.
Any questions, send me a, you shoot me an email at jimmydoor at earthlink.net.
Today's show was written.
Couldn't do it without the writers.
Frank Conniff wrote that Luke Russard sketch.
Robert Yasimura wrote the John Boehner sketch.
All right.
I also like to thank Jim Earl, Steph Samurano, and Mark Van Landuit for helping out writing the show today.
And that's it for this week.
All right.
Make sure you stop by JimmyDoorComedy.com and check out the Jimmy Dore show on the web.
People say it's a TV show.
It's a web series.
I'm not sure what the proper nomenclature is, but Ben Mankowitz from Turner Classic Movie sits in with me.
We play video clips and make fun of him.
And it's great.
Ben Mankowitz, much funnier than I thought he was.
He's hilarious.
So I love having him on the show.
So check out those videos over at Jimmy DoreComedy.com.
All right.
They're fun.
Don't you like to see me?
All right.
That's it for this week.
Until next week.
Oh, I also want to say thanks to the gentleman who helped make this podcast available, Sean James, who helped me out again this week, had a problem with the computer.
Sean James, and if you have a problem with your Macintosh, he can help fix it right over the internet.
You send him an email at SeanJames at MacHelp.
No, no, no, the other way, at MacHelp at SeanJames.com.
Maybe it would be better if there was a phone number, right?
Because if your computer doesn't work, how do you send him an email?
I don't know.
Well, you know what?
I'm going to bring that up to Sean and we'll talk about it.
