Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
This past week, somebody in Zephyr Hills, Florida won the Powerball jackpot worth $590 million.
This was the highest Powerball jackpot in history and the luckiest anyone's ever been in Zephyr Hills, Florida.
On checking the winning numbers that night, I was once again surprised that the winner was not me.
After all, I did buy a ticket.
Of course, the odds were one in 175 million or roughly the chances of me writing on a sitcom.
My father has often advised me to buy lottery tickets, and as financial strategies go, it's pretty much the Hail Mary pass.
Dad is basically saying, you know what, I'm completely out of decent suggestions.
The major attraction of winning the lottery is it has nothing to do with either virtue or hard work, much like life itself.
Nobody who wins the lottery deserves to.
That's what makes it fair.
Even winning the lottery may or may not be lucky.
Certainly it's not something I'd want to be famous for.
People would be nice to me for the wrong reason, which would make me miserable after a life spent trying to get people to like me for no reason.
Sadly, many lottery winners lose their entire fortunes to bad investments, scam artists, or helping others.
There's a lot to be said for not winning $590 million.
For one thing, you can still believe that all your troubles would be over if you only had $590 million.
Maybe it's just me, but I could not be friends with anybody worth more than, say, $50 million unless they really enjoyed constant angry sarcasm.
Of course, these are negative thoughts, and I realize that happiness can only come from feelings of contentment and gratitude.
But in lieu of that, I'm willing to settle for a lump sum payment of $27 million.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...up-minded, lowly-lovered lappies.
The kind of people that are...
Phil Bench may be on Tearing Down Our Nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you, TV.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Welcome to this week's episode.
I'm joined in the studio across the glass from me, hilarious comedian, former writer for the daily show.
It's Steve Rosenfield.
Hey, Steve, how are you?
Great, Jimmy, and it's great to be back.
Oh, again.
We were off last week.
We're back now.
Next to him, hilarious comedian from Team Yasamo.
Just as funny the second time.
It's Japanese man Robert Yasimura.
Hello, Robert.
How are you?
Ohio.
All right.
Across from him, the host of Comedy and Everything Else, it's our resident Latina, Steph Samorano.
Hi, Steph.
How are you?
Hello, Jimmy.
Good to be here.
All right, it's good to have you here.
Next to him, we saw that we're laughing like we're on drugs.
Okay, next to him, hilarious comedian, the author of Morning Remembrance, the funny obituaries of real dead people.
It's ham radios and Emmy Award-winning writer Jim Earl.
Hi, Jim.
How are you?
Hey, Jimmy, how are you doing?
I really want to know, honest.
I'm doing really good.
Come on, tell the truth.
I've been better.
How are you, man?
Don't hold back.
I'm not holding.
I've been better.
All right, whatever.
Who's on the phone?
On the phone, all the way from New York City from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and now the John Fuglesang show on current TV.
It's TV's Frank Frank Connet.
Hi, Frank.
How are you?
Come on there.
Okay.
Hey, I don't know if you guys saw, but Obama gave a big speech the other day.
He wants to close Gitmo.
Did you see that speech, Frank?
Yeah, I love what he said about closing Gitmo.
I just wish he was in some sort of position of power to make it happen.
Yeah, me too.
Someday he'll meet somebody who has some power to do something.
Hey, Anthony Ween.
Hey, Anthony Ween is back in the news.
Anthony Weiner, did you say, did you say Anthony Ween is back?
He's running for mayor of New York.
He's hit him with a mayor.
His name is Wiener.
Amen.
It's Wiener's writing today.
His name is Wiener, you guys.
Mayor Weiner.
His name is Weiner.
Is that LaGuardia?
No, that's Jay Leno.
Saying Wiener.
So anyway, did you know that?
So Anthony Wiener, he actually announced his campaign for mayor.
He released a YouTube video, and he said, if you're having a hard time watching the video, getting it to play, just watch the last scene of Boogie Nights.
Jimmy, I don't know if you heard, but there aren't going to be as many jokes about Wiener this time around because Fiorello Penis just ended the race.
You know, I hear Jay Leno drives a Wiener mobile.
He does.
He's got, I got kind of cars.
I got him all.
Frank actually wrote that Boogie Knights joke.
He's a great writer.
But Leo, Frank, I have to tell you I hate to do this on the air, but lately you've been using clichéd, hackneyed, overdone, out-of-date phrases in your jokes.
Oh, Jimmy, you did not just go there.
All right.
You should make him talk to the hand.
Hey, what's what's I he and then the wrist and then the wrist and then the elbow.
Okay, so what's what's coming up on today's show in the oh my god segment?
Are anti-gay people really hiding their own gay impulses?
The answer just may surprise you.
Or will it?
Plus, we're going to check in with Chris Matthews, who is that special breed of liberal who also hates unions, making him not a liberal.
Plus, the Beltway press has been getting the three scandals of the week completely wrong, and they get pushback from a very unlikely corporate tool on Sunday TV.
We'll play it for you.
Plus, we have a new game we're going to try out on today's show.
It's called I'm going to Play a Commercial, and you're going to guess what they're selling.
Plus, we're going to have phone calls from Luke Russert, Mitch McConnell, Bill O'Reilly, and Peggy Noonan, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
We'll be right back.
Time for another installment of Oh My God.
Okay, in today's Oh My God segment, you know Brian Fisher, friend of the show.
And here's how he feels about gays, by the way.
This is what he says about gays.
Time a homosexual exercises any sort of selectivity at all when it comes to intimate matters.
He is proving that it's a matter of choice.
Somebody's compelled to follow those impulses.
Now, it's interesting.
You know, I was struck by the phrase.
Now, anybody who says that being gay or homosexual impulses are a matter of choice is someone who's actively suppressing their own homosexual impulses, right?
There's no doubt about that, right?
So this guy's, as we used to say when I was a kid, he's as quiet as a $3 bill.
If we're a matter of choice, I mean, who would choose disco?
Is that a callback?
There you go.
There you go.
All right.
I remember when I was, you know, we all have to make that choice about being.
I remember when I was a kid, I was like, do I really want to watch Dance Fever with Danny Terrio?
Or do I want to go to prom?
What do I want to do?
You know, Jimmy, it's Moose and Squirrel, not Moose and Steve.
You know, Jimmy, it's L M N O P, not L M N O Steve.
That's right.
You know, Jimmy, it's Stone Cold Steve Austin, not Stone Cold Steve Steve.
You know, Jimmy, it's energy equals mass times the speed of mass squared.
Not energy equals mass times the speed of light, Steve.
I love these Steve jokes.
I love those Steve jokes.
So here, he's got a little bit more to say this.
319 there.
They glory in their shame.
In their shame.
Their gayness is the shame.
They glory in their shame.
They celebrate.
They honor.
They pride in things that ought to be matters of shame, humiliation, and embarrassment.
And when you have the president of the United States, this is what is significant about this.
The president of the United States out there honoring, celebrating sexual perversity.
This homosexuality is a perversion of God's design for human sexuality.
But now you have the president of the United States openly celebrating sexual deviancy.
So calling evil good and calling good evil.
It's like almost a milestone moment to have the president do this at a press conference to so openly, blatantly celebrate behavior, sexual behavior that we know is a perversion and a form of deviance in God's eyes.
Okay, so there is our friend Fisher.
And now he went on with Alan Combs.
He used to be the better half of Sean Hannity and Combs.
He was actually Sean Hannity's bottom.
You know how he makes his money now is that you can actually hire, he'll come to your house for a private party.
You can hire him to come to your house and cower in the corner.
He'll lose arguments.
Yes, and he'll lose arguments with anybody.
Except ultimate straw man.
Except here he is, and he's got this Brian Fisher on his show, and he asks him the question we all want asked.
God bless him, Alan Combs.
Go get him, Alan.
You also say, Brian, that because gays are selective when it comes to intimate matters, that proves that it's a matter of choice whether you're gay or straight.
So simply because you're selective who you might have sex with, because you choose within a particular gender who you're attracted to, that means you could be attracted to either gender?
No, it just demonstrates that people are not obligated to act on every sexual impulse that they experience.
Well, have you ever had a gay impulse?
Alan, I'm not going to talk about that.
No, I just thought that's exactly what a straight guy would say, right?
That's a guy.
Hey, have you ever gay?
The first thing a straight guy would say is, well, I'm not straight.
I just don't like gays.
But he would say, I'm straight.
I just don't.
I mean, I'm just wondering.
I'm not, Alan.
I'm not going to go there.
What does that mean?
I'm not going to go.
How is that in the bathhouse?
How is that a response to the question?
Have you ever had a gay?
You cut out the part.
He said, I'm not going to go there, girlfriend.
I mean, isn't that the, so when you say, I'm not going to go there, that is what you're saying is, yes, of course I've had gay impulses.
Because if I didn't, I would say I didn't.
Give it a rest.
It's a simple yes or no question.
We're not going to talk about it.
Because maybe if you've been able to overcome your gay impulses and you've been successful to do it, you could be a model for other people who you'd like to see act the same way.
The focus here, Alan, is that everybody experiences sexual impulses that if they acted on those impulses, it would destroy them.
Well, could you give me an example from your own life?
Like, what would be some of yours?
You've experienced them.
I have.
I've experienced them.
Every man, every woman has experienced certain sexual impulses that if they acted on them, if they conducted themselves by yielding to those impulses, would destroy them.
Ask Tiger Woods about that.
Yeah, you remember how Tiger Woods destroyed himself, right?
He's destroyed now.
I don't know if you noticed.
He doesn't have any girlfriends or money.
He's not winning tournaments.
He's destroyed.
Oh, I'm sorry.
He has all those things.
He's exactly the same guy he was, except he got rid of that old battle axe he was hanging around with.
Plus, he's straight, so it's completely irrelevant.
Yeah, go ahead, Frank.
Barely has 200 million in the bank.
Barely.
He barely has 200.
How is he going to keep warm?
He's hanging on.
How's he going to?
Where's he going to eat?
Oh, by the way, not for nothing.
I know a lot of gay guys, and yeah, they're destroyed.
They are destroyed in their really nice houses and pleasant lives.
I don't understand what...
What are you talking about?
Doogie Hauser seems pretty good.
He seems pretty tight.
I don't think I've ever had sexual impulses that would destroy the society or the culture or make me a deviant in some way.
I mean, I honestly don't think that's ever happened, even in your eyes.
So I'm surprised, but I wonder what impulses you're talking about.
If you've had them, I'd love to know what they are.
Well, the focus, Alan, is on sexual conduct, sexual behavior, not on sexual impulse.
That's what the focus is.
So you won't tell me whether you've yourself been able to overcome a gay impulse.
Alan, give it a rest.
Yeah.
How is that?
Again, how is that any kind of comeback to have you ever had a gay?
Give it.
I'm not convinced.
That's like I'm going to keep saying, just say yes and get it over with.
It makes it worse.
We're not talking about impulses.
What?
You should just know that you have destroyed our society if you've ever been nominated for a Tony Award.
Yes.
By the way, the gay impulse, worst selling a Suzu ever.
Yes, yes, that is not a good car.
The gay impulse.
You know, Jimmy, it's Abercrombie and Fitch, not Abercrombie and Steve.
Actually, it might be Abercrombie and Steve.
That might be the one that's actually.
So here, I was watching the, so this is going to fall inside the oh my God segment.
I was watching the Oklahoma, the tragedy with the tornado in Moore, Oklahoma.
So Wolf Blitzer went down there, and this is proof positive that Wolf Blitzer, A, not a newsman, not an actual journalist, and B, should never be left out of the studio to do news reporting.
So here he is talking to a woman who's holding her baby, and there's rubble all around them.
Everything's crushed, flattened, and she, but she didn't die, nor her baby.
And here goes Wolf Blitzer.
Here we go.
Thank you.
He's a sweet little guy.
Well, you're blessed.
Brian, your husband is blessed.
Andrews is blessed.
Yeah, they're all, is this the 700 club, or am I watching CNN?
You're blessed, your husband's blessed, Brian's blessed.
We're all blessed.
And please send us a donation.
Here we go.
Brian, you like Brian, huh?
That's your dad.
We're happy you're here.
You guys did a great job.
And I guess you got to thank the Lord, right?
No.
Do you thank the Lord?
No.
For that second decision?
I'm actually an atheist.
Oh, you are?
No, you probably couldn't hear what she said, but she said, I'm actually an atheist.
So there's Wolf Blitzer, who, of course, believes in a magical God who bestows good fortune on random people for no obvious reason Because there's no other way he could explain his wealth, fame, and success.
Okay?
So, of course, he thinks that.
And now they let him out of the studio to go to Oklahoma, and he tries to pander to the people who he thinks are in the Bible Belt.
And he tries to go, Lord Jesus, you're blessed, and God and Jesus, and kneeling and praying and communion and all that stuff.
And he runs into the...
Yes, it was, Frank.
And unlucky for Wolf Blitzer, he runs into the one okie who's actually thought shit through.
And, you know, Frank, you made this point to me earlier that if, well, here, let's just play the rest of this clip.
All right.
Yeah, yeah.
We are here.
And, you know, I don't blame anybody for thanking the Lord.
Of course not.
Hey, all right.
She goes, I don't blame anybody for thanking the Lord.
So she's not a jerk.
So she's an atheist and she doesn't blame anybody for, and Wolf Blitzer goes, of course not.
Really, Wolf?
Because if God worked the way you just said God worked, if you really believe that there was a God who cares about you so much that he's going to intervene, that he cares about you personally, that he's going to intervene in the middle of a tornado to make sure that when everything else is being wrecked, that you don't die.
Why wouldn't God just intervene to stop the freaking tornado in the first place, Wolf?
Because your stupid superstition isn't true and it doesn't have any place on the goddamn news.
Jimmy, let me say in his defense that what he asked her was actually a tougher question than he's ever asked any politician.
Well, let me also say in his defense, to be fair, he's an idiot.
Yes, he shouldn't be held to a standard of anybody.
But here he is, Robert, and this is a good example why Wolf Blitzer is a horrible newsman.
Here he is talking to a total stranger, and he's supposed to be a reporter.
And for some reason, he starts talking about the blessings of the Lord.
And when she doesn't respond, he presses the issue.
How stupid is that?
He wants a concession out of her that there's a God.
I think, you know, it's exactly what we were saying.
It really does seem like pandering.
It's really him.
Feels like he's condescendingly thinking, oh, I'm in the heartland now.
These people automatically love the Lord, and I'm going to show them that I relate to them by asking him this question.
Why doesn't he ask that of everybody he ever interviewed?
Ever, right?
Oh, do you think God was, was it the, do you thank the Lord for making you president, President Bush?
Seeing that you actually lost the popular vote?
Did God intervene on your behalf?
Or was he busy saving somebody from a tornado he was letting kill eight-year-olds?
By the way, you wouldn't bring this up in conversation.
If you just met somebody.
Right.
You would not bring up their religion, your religion in conversation.
I mean, what if he were in Court d'Alene, Idaho?
What he was going to ask, hey, did you thank Hitler?
A lot of right-wing extremists in Idaho.
I know.
That's where they breed.
That's right.
That's right.
That's where they go to pray to their God.
Yeah.
Hitler.
And I think, in a way, she was standing there and she was thinking, you know what?
I've got nothing else to lose.
I'm going to let him know that I'm an atheist.
Yeah.
How about we blame God for the goddamn tornado?
How about that?
How about the Lord brought this tornado that just wiped out my whole city, you moron?
Where's your God now, Wolf?
She's actually much more gracious about it.
She's like, yes, you put me on the spot.
I'll answer truthfully.
But he didn't apologize.
He didn't say like, oh, wait, I put you on the spot.
Yes.
Sorry.
It's the dumbest thing I could have thought of saying.
Right.
Because he says it twice.
He's like, bless you?
He says blessed three times, and then he said the Lord three times.
Yeah.
And then she finally says, I'm an atheist.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
You should have just said, boy, you really got lucky.
Yeah.
How about that?
How about luck?
You didn't get killed.
You got lucky.
How about that?
Would have been true.
Here's the first question, though.
Who the F was the producer who let Wolf Blitzer go off the script?
Right.
That's my question.
I mean, somebody's getting fired.
That guy is right now.
I heard word.
Wait, hang on.
I'm getting word in my ear that that CNN producer is now in a Turkish prison.
I mean, the last time they let Wolf Blitzer go off script, he denied the Holocaust, for Christ's sake.
Come on.
This is Wolf Blitz.
You know, my God is an exploding tube of Prell Concentrate.
I believe all life originated from that.
Okay.
Reference to Prell.
Prel.
All right.
So we'll end it on that.
That's what we'll end that segment.
But, Jimmy, one more thing is that I think that was the ultimate example of someone using the Lord's name in vain.
LAUGHTER This has been, oh my God.
Oh my God.

Remember, Jimmy spells his last name, D-O-R-E, jimmydorecomedy.com.
So I talked about this.
We were off last week, but I did talk about this in the premium content.
So I'll talk about it now.
The three scandals that were happening this week, or last week, IRS, Benghazi, and the AP phone record scandal.
Of the three of those scandals, one, Obama has apologized for two of them.
Only one of them is an actual scandal, and it's the one Obama won't apologize for.
So the Benghazi, we all know that's not a scandal.
The IRS, not a scandal.
The only way it's a scandal, the IRS is a scandal, is if Barack Obama ordered the IRS to target right-wing organizations for audits.
He didn't do that.
The inspector general's report says this was not political.
This is what the IRS does.
Just like that, I claim a home office deduction on my income tax.
They flag that.
So now everybody who has home office and their tax returns gets a higher percentage of those people get audited because they know that those people who claim that stuff are more likely to have screw-ups on their taxes.
The same thing with the Tea Party.
They were trying to figure.
So they were getting a flood, a flood of applications for what they call 501, C4, C4s.
And the problem.
70,000 applications.
70,000.
So what they did was they were like, okay, so if you put Tea Party in your name, we're going to flag it and we're going to put extra scrutiny on you just to make sure that you are complying with the law.
The problem is the real scandal here is, Jim, none of them are complying with the law, yet they all got approved for tax-free status, right?
Not one person got turned down.
Not one of those right-wing organizations, those Tea Party organizations, got turned down for tax-exempt status, and they all should have because the IRS is misapplying the law.
There's supposed to be a social welfare organization, which is ironic that these right-wing Tea Party groups have to file under what's called a social welfare organization because, you know, they hate social welfare.
So the law says that if you're going to be a 501c4, that you have to exclusively do all the work you do for social welfare.
The IRS in 1959 then changed the language on their own to mean primarily do social welfare from exclusively to primarily.
I hope this isn't too hard to follow.
But to be a 501 C4, that means that you don't have to pay taxes, but you're supposed to be doing all your work for social.
You're not supposed to be asking.
No, no, that's incorrect.
100% of your work has to be social welfare.
But the IRS changed the language unilaterally, which they're not allowed to do.
And they did this back in 1959.
Right.
So they changed it from exclusively social welfare to primarily social welfare, which, as you said, Robert means 51%.
So technically, all of them are illegal.
The IRS approved all of them.
And the only way it would be a scandal anyway is if Barack Obama ordered it, the Inspector General's report showed that not only did Barack Obama not order it, but nobody at the IRS was doing this for political reasons.
So there's no scandal.
Of course, the news media completely gets this whole wrong.
Have you guys gotten this right on the John Fuglesang show, Frank?
I believe we have.
Okay, so John Fuglesang and Lawrence O'Donnell are the only two people anywhere in the press that I've seen get this right.
501c4s, which, by the way, I mean, there's nothing in Citizens United that says that these groups are guaranteed tax-exempt status.
Correct.
Okay.
Citizens United, I actually agree with as a decision because it's a free speech decision, but they never said in it that these guys should get tax-exempt status.
But what happened was there's an assumption that they should.
And so no one said, oh, well, the IRS is going to get overwhelmed by this particular application process, which, by the way, none of them had to do.
Right.
There were 70,000 organizations that apply for tax-exempt status that didn't have to apply for it.
They could have just essentially functioned as they could have just submitted as a tax-exempt organization, is what you're saying.
Right.
Without going through this process, and they were saying it was taking us so long to get approved because there were 70,000 of you applying.
That's why it was taking so long.
And by the way, there was none of those organizations by, again, let me just restate: none of them were denied their tax-exempt status.
But there were progressive organizations at the same time being denied their tax-exempt status.
And the point being that the people, like, for instance, Crossroads, that Karl Rove organization, Crossroads, Crossroads GPS.
They are tax-exempt.
We all know that everything they're doing is political, yet they still get taxed.
That's because the IRS is misapplying that law.
They changed the statute on their own.
And that's the scandal here, Frank.
There is an IRS scandal, but it's not, it's not what they're talking about.
Yes, exactly.
There is a scandal, but it's not that one.
There is a scandal, but it's not that one.
Joining us today is NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent Luke Russer.
Luke, as always, thanks for stopping by, buddy.
Hey, Jimmy, quite an exciting time we were living in, would you not say?
What with all the Obama scandals and whatnot?
You're excited by the scandals, Luke Hospital.
Oh, come on, Jimmy.
Thanks to these scandals, we're living in the golden age of both sides do it.
And as I've pointed out many times on the show, both sides do it.
All right, explain.
What do you mean exactly when you say that?
Well, okay.
Here's what I mean.
George W. Bush fails to read a memo.
Marks bin Laden determined the attack inside the U.S. And over 3,000 Americans were killed on 9-11, 2001.
Then, on 9-11, 2012, under Obama's watch, four Americans are killed in a tragic riot over season Benghazi.
It's totally equivalent.
Both sides do it.
Luke, I'm not quite sure that's the same thing, buddy.
Like, that's not even close to.
Okay, how about this?
Boost and Cheney fabricate information that leads the nation into a war of choice, resulting in thousands of more needless deaths, making the world a much more dangerous place.
Then, under Obama, some mid-level workers at the IRS target the Tea Party.
See, the same thing happened in both administrations.
Both sides do it.
Luke, what you're saying is insane.
I'm just going to tell you right now.
Who's there?
Both sides do it.
Okay.
All right.
I think we already did that, Jeff.
Yeah, listen.
What I want to ask you is the scandal about the Obama administration spying on journals at the AP.
What do you think about that?
The Obama administration.
I'm going to give Obama a pass on that one.
What?
What?
You're giving him.
I don't want people to get it.
Scandal fatigue.
As a journalist, I'm going to focus on the scandals that matter.
But of all the scandals, Luke, this is the one that personally affects reporters.
It has been deeply troubling implications about the future of the freedom of the press in America.
This is the one you're supposed to care about, Luke.
It affects you.
And that affects me how.
I really want to see your point, Jimmy.
Okay, I wanted to ask you about David Gregory's interview with Peggy Noonan anyway.
Can we talk about that, please?
Jimmy, I'm sorry, but I will not talk about Peggy Noonan.
What?
Because I do not like to talk about my former girlfriend.
You went out with Peggy Noonan.
Is that what I'm supposed to be?
Yeah, we used to meet at the Watergate every afternoon.
I called it my noon and nooner.
I just can't picture you two together.
I really can't picture you two together.
Honestly, God.
Well, here's the thing, Jimmy.
I was first introduced to Peggy by my dad, Jim Rossert, and I have this weird fetish where I can't get sexually excited for a woman unless I'm only with her because of nepotism.
Wow, Luke.
Let me just say, wow.
I'll say it again.
Wow.
But I've recently discovered that I can get it on with any lady as long as there are two of them.
Oh, so what you're saying is you're super into three ways, Luke?
You better believe it.
There's nothing better than when there's one lady on the left, one lady on my right, and both sides do me.
Both sides do me.
Okay, that's.
Wow, wow.
All right, that's great.
Luke Russert, I want to thank you for joining me on the show today.
I appreciate you.
Thank you, Jimmy.
And you have yourself an awesome Memorial Day.
Oh, well, I will.
You do the same right back at you.
You know, Jimmy, Memorial Day is the day we set aside to honor our fallen veterans who've served so bravely.
Yeah, I know.
I know that.
You see, that's the type of helpful informational tidbit that a journalist like myself always has handy.
Oh, and one other thing: when two nations go to war, there's one fact you can't deny.
What's that?
Both sides do it.
Okay.
Luke Russert, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you, Luke.
You know what, though?
Both sides do do it.
That's the thing.
Hey, that was the inimitable Mike McRae as Luke Russert is written by Frank Conniff.
And this is the time when I let you know that this show is made possible by the generous support of our listeners.
That would be you, the person listening.
And what the easy is, there's two ways.
There's actually a lot of ways to support the show.
The best way is to use our Amazon.com link or to become a premium member.
How do I, the Amazon thing, you know how to do that?
Do I have to tell you?
There's an Amazon link at the front of JimmyDoorComedy.com.
So the next time you want to buy something from Amazon, just go there, click on it.
It takes you to Amazon.com.
And then when you buy something, they send us money.
It's just that easy, and that really helps support the show.
You don't have to go to our page every time you buy something from Amazon.
You just go one time, and when it takes you to Amazon.com, you bookmark that page.
And then the next time you go, you just go to your bookmark.
Next time you go to Amazon.com.
And then every time you spend something, they send us money.
It really does work.
It really does help support the show.
It's not insignificant.
It's very significant.
So thanks everybody who's done that, who's taken advantage of the Amazon.com link thing at the front page of JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Plus, the other way is you can become a premium member.
What's that, Jimmy?
Well, we do like an extra 30 to 40 minutes every week.
This week we got Bill O'Reilly, drunk Bill O'Reilly, three of those calls in the premium.
We're going to do our, turns out we're going to do our guess what this commercial is happens in the premium content.
We couldn't fit it into the regular show this week.
There's a lot of stuff we couldn't fit.
The Peggy Noonan call is coming up.
Couldn't fit that in.
So there's a lot of stuff happening.
And oh, also the guy who wrote Tuesdays with Maury, we got to take him apart.
He was interviewed.
He wrote a new book called Have a Little Faith.
And we kind of rip him apart in the premium content.
So how do you do that?
You go to JimmyDoorComedy.com and you click on how to become a premium member.
It's $5 a month.
It's nothing.
And then we send you extra content, an extra 30, 40 minutes every week.
Isn't that nice?
So go do that.
Thanks for supporting the show.
Here's the second half.
There's another example of a journalist getting it wrong.
So this was written in the Wall Street Journal.
So here is Kimberly Strassel.
Here's what she wrote in the Wall Street Journal, right?
In the Wall Street Journal.
This is what she wrote.
Okay, here we go.
She says the media and Congress are sleuthing for some hint that Mr. Obama picked up the phone and sick the tax dogs on his enemies.
It's not how things work at post-Watergate Washington.
Mr. Obama didn't need to pick up the phone.
All he needed to do is exactly what he did do in full view for three years, publicly suggest that conservative political groups were engaged in nefarious deeds, publicly call out by name political opponents whom he'd like to see haroused and publicly have his party pressure the IRS to take action.
See, so what she's saying is that, of course, President Obama didn't pick up the phone and call the IRS.
He didn't have to.
He just kind of, you know, said things, and the people at the IRS picked up on his cues, She said that it was all a dog whistle.
That President Obama, that that's what the scandal is, is that Obama put out a dog whistle that inspired the IRS to do this.
See, well, but that's written in the Wall Street Journal, and they might not have any proof, but fortunately for them, they don't need any, apparently.
Apparently, you can just make stuff up.
So what she's saying.
So what she saw, and by the way, the key piece of information here is that the guy who was running the IRS when this happened was a guy named Schuler or Shulman.
Shulman.
Shulman, who was a George Bush appointee.
So this is a guy who's a Bush appointee running the IRS.
And somehow he's doing the dirty work for Barack Obama, and he's keeping it secret.
Somehow.
He is really incompetent if he's helping Obama.
Talking about those dog whistles don't work with other organizations like the FDA or the Justice Department, you know, really prosecute BP.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Everything, you know?
But it just works with the IRS, I guess.
Well, the point that she's making, and again, this is in the Wall Street Journal, the point she's making is that Obama's already guilty of being president.
That's really it.
Guilty as charged.
He's the president.
He's wrong.
This lady shouldn't write for boys' life, let alone Wall Street Journal.
Correct, Robert.
So here's the thing.
So the guy who was in charge of the IRS at the time is a guy named Shulman, right?
So here he is last April.
This guy was testifying in front of Congress last year, right?
Last April.
So I'm talking about April of 2012.
Yeah, you're right.
Thanks.
April 2012.
And he was asked if they were doing this.
Here's the guy.
Here's the chairman of the committee asking him if you are targeting Tea Party organizations.
There's been some recent press allegations that the IRS is targeting certain Tea Party groups across the country, requesting what have been described as owners' document requests, delaying approval for approval for approval for tax exempt status.
Can you give us assurances that the IRS is not targeting particular groups based on political leanings?
Just let me start by saying yes.
I can give you assurances.
As you know, we pride ourselves on being a non-political, non-partisan organization.
There's absolutely no targeting.
Okay, so that was the guy lying, saying they weren't targeting them when they were targeting them.
So that's the guy who's responsible.
And that's the guy who also lied to Congress about it.
So what happened?
Obama fired his successor.
What's the problem?
I mean, Obama proved he was serious about punishing those people responsible by firing the guy who wasn't responsible.
So by the way, Chris Matthews, I happened to see him right after Obama made that announcement.
And that was an example of Chris Matthews talking about how great Obama's leadership is.
Yes, because he fired somebody.
And actually, I remember he had Howard Fleyman on, and they were both talking about that the scandals were over.
Obama is just proving how great he is, and there's nothing to worry about anymore.
And the most important thing about this whole crisis, Frank, is that the guy who was head of the IRS, when they were supposedly targeting conservatives, he was a Republican who was appointed by George Bush.
So kind of unlikely that a Bush appointee would be doing the dirty work for Obama.
But here is the White House spokesman, this guy, Daniel Pfeiffer.
They sent out to the Sunday shows last Sunday to make that very point that I just made twice, that, hey, the guy in charge was a Bush appointee.
So this is all null and void.
Plus, the Inspector General's report said that this wasn't political.
Those are the two big pieces of information that aren't really being reported hardly at all.
So here's a guy.
So here's the Daniel Pfeiffer who goes on meet the press to make that very point very weakly.
Very weakly.
Here he is making that point.
The head of the IRS when this happened was actually a Bush appointee because the IRS appointments extend beyond one presidency.
And two.
That's it.
The guy who was ahead of the IRS was push appointed because they extended.
Number two, what?
Could you gloss over it more, Captain?
Gloss over stuff?
Are you kidding me?
Here's him making that point, which he should have screamed at the top of his lungs and said really slowly.
Here's how he does say it.
The head of the IRS when this happened was actually a Bush appointee because the IRS appointments extend beyond one presidency.
And two, the acting commissioner was a career civil servant.
The other question is, should Congress?
And of course, David Gregory just keeps going.
Like, whatever.
I don't know what you just said.
I'm going to start asking my next question.
So, again.
It doesn't fit in with my narrative, so we're going to keep going.
Yes, of course.
So, the two big things you have to remember, I'll say it for the third time.
Bush appointee in charge of the IRS.
The inspector general said it wasn't political.
And of course, when the Barack Obama spokesperson goes on TV, he almost never says that.
And when he does, he says it in very harsh tones because he's trying not to piss anybody off because that's worked so well for Barack Obama so far.
The reasonable guy.
Yes, be soft-spoken.
And when you do mention it, do it hurried.
Do it in a very hurried way.
He's looking at his watch.
He's thinking about lunch.
So then they bring on Mitch McConnell.
So David Gregory brings on Mitch McConnell, and he dug, get this.
David Gregory dug up, I don't know, David, but he dug up a piece of videotape of Mitch McConnell from 25 years ago.
This is him on C-SPAN talking about, now this is confusing, so we won't confuse you about it, but he's talking about 501c4s and how they're being abused and how they need more scrutiny by the IRS.
Here he is 25 years ago.
There are restrictions now on the kinds of activities that, for example, the 501, C3, and 4 organizations, charitable organizations, can engage in that are being abused, not just by people on the right, but most of the so-called charitable organizations who are involved in political activity in this country who are,
in my judgment, involved in arguable violations of their tax-free status and violations of the campaign laws happen to big groups on the left.
So that is a problem.
So Mitch McConnell, 25 years ago, realizing this is a big problem, and we should look into this more.
Okay, so then David Gregory takes that information and says, well, if you think that, should we do something about it?
Out of all of this, do you see more tax reform that addresses whether any of these groups should be tax exempt?
It's nowhere that you had to go back 25 years to find a quote.
That's his comeback.
You had to go back 25 years.
We all know that the statute of limitations on hypocrisy ends at 15 years.
There is a statute.
So that's what he says.
So that's what he said 25 years ago.
What do you say?
If you go back that far, you would see that I like Flock of Seagulls.
Let's just reply.
So here's what he says.
Now, so 25 years ago, you agreed that we should scrutinize the.
What do you say now, Mitch McConnell?
I was wrong 25 years ago.
I've been right for the last two decades.
Okay, so it takes a big man to admit he was wrong about something when he was actually right about it.
Isn't that kind of hilarious?
So now he's saying.
The minute after he finished filming that C-SPAN clip, the minute he left the studio, he actually changed his mind about it.
It's weird.
He immediately did.
And just to clarify, Mitch McConnell now thinks that questionable activity on the part of tax-free groups is awesome.
The fact that the Crossroads organization is tax-exempt because they're considered a social welfare organization is insane.
That's BS.
Yes.
That's the scandal.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's calling in.
Hello, Senator.
Hi, Jebby.
This is Mitch McConnell.
How are you doing?
I got your number from John Boehner.
He gave it to me when we were sitting around making fun of Jews and playing Yahtzee.
So, but did you see the Beat the Press last summer?
Did you see that, Jimmy?
Yeah, I saw you on Meet the Press.
I nailed it.
What?
I said I nailed it.
No, I wouldn't say you nailed it.
I think David.
That stooge.
David Gregory thought he'd be a journalist for once in his corporate life by shoving young Mitch McConnell in my face.
Yeah, he did.
I got an Asian wife at home who grills me harder on whether I took my fiber today or not.
You know, but it does seem that you did see the issue for what it was 25 years ago, and you realize that 501c4s were a problem that deserved more scrutiny from the IRS.
It seemed like you felt that way 25 years ago, right?
Hey, look.
What?
Look, Mitch, young Mitch.
I was a crazy man.
He didn't know that corporations could dump unlimited amounts of secret tax-free cash into these things.
Young Mitch just thought 501c4s or some of a kind of cabal of hippie groups of communism or curing titty cancer or something like that.
Yeah, but David Gregory, he did kind of, he kind of outed you with that fill.
He showed you to be a hypocrite.
Let me make something very clear.
Okay, right.
David Gregory, you are my bitch.
I don't think so.
You come on a call.
You throw me to the softballs, I tell you to throw.
Okay, you little whore.
He is a whore.
I'm Mitch fucking McConnell.
Okay, I got it.
I made my bones when you were self-healing up chubby girls at theater club.
Okay, I don't know why you got to bring chubby girls into this.
Mitch McConnell, I should have been investigated on ethics charges more times than you've taken a dump.
Okay, that's not necessary.
They can't touch me.
They can't.
They can't touch me.
No, no.
So what do you got to say to David Gregory?
Anything?
I'm just saying, Mr. David Gregory.
Mitch McConnell saying, if you come after me again, you better be ready to kill me, Gregory.
Really?
You're throwing down.
Dr. Jimmy, this is Mitch McConnell.
I gotta tell you, man.
And Boehner was right.
Calling your anti-machine is like a high colonic.
It's like a high colonic from my thinking parts.
This isn't the machine.
I'm actually talking to you.
It's a good friend of soul.
No, but I'm talking.
This isn't my machine.
Also, I shot Markle Luther King in Memphis.
That's another weight off.
Wow, you're really opening up.
Mitch McConnell saying, Jimmy, you are Dr. Feel Good, my friend.
Okay.
Now I feel a little gay for you.
Oh, goddammit.
I got to go.
Okay, that was okay.
That was Mitch McConnell, ladies and gentlemen.
Okay, did you enjoy the Mitch McConnell call?
I hope you did.
Right now, here's one more easy, fun way that doesn't cost you anything to help support the Jimmy Door show.

All right.
Thanks for your support.
Now let's get back to the rest of the show.
Now let's get back to the rest of the show.
So here is more horrible journalism that was shown on NBC's Meet the Press with David Gregory.
And the important thing, the interesting thing here is Peggy Noonan is just as horrible as ever.
She just tells one lie after another.
She just makes one false accusation after another.
But normally David Gregory just lets them go and then he just asks another question.
But this time, for whatever reason, he decided to push back.
And so let's listen.
Here we go.
First, he reads what Peggy Noonan wrote in the Wall Street Journal, and here's what he has to say about it.
We are in the midst, you write, of the worst Washington scandal.
Hang on, let me get this back.
Here we go.
We are in the midst, you write, of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate.
The reputation of the Obama White House has among conservatives gone from sketchy to sinister and among liberals from unsatisfying to dangerous.
No one likes what they're seeing, the IRS and AP scandals who left the administration's credibility deeply, probably are irretrievably damaged.
They don't look jerky now.
They look dirty.
The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone.
Okay, well, first of all, let me just say when I want objective commentary about President Obama, I listen to somebody who wrote the shit Reagan used to say.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
So that, so that's what she said about it, right?
Oh, it's horrible.
This is the worst in Watergate, blah, blah, blah.
And guess who steps up and actually says the obvious?
Here we go.
I have to say, Peggy, what you don't talk about here is an administration for a man that you worked for who led the Iran-Cantras Contra scandal where they ran a secret war and lied to Congress and all the rest.
Overstatement here?
Hey, I guess somebody didn't get invited to the spring party at Peggy Noonan's house.
He is BS about it.
Yes, he is upset.
Hey, hey, guess what?
You don't think Luke Russer texted me to let me know there was a party?
Awkward.
So, Peggy, aren't you the last person in the world to talk, seeing that you worked for Reagan, a guy who ran a secret war and lied to Congress?
And here is Peggy Noonan.
She brushes it off like water off a duck's ass, and she just keeps going.
Let's listen.
I don't think so.
No, of course she doesn't think so, David.
Here's why.
Because otherwise, I'm a complete fraud and my life's works an appalling shame.
Of course, I don't think so.
Here we go.
I don't think so.
I think this is what is going on now: all three of these scandals makes a cluster that implies some very bad things.
Yes, yes.
When you put all these three scandals together, you get three phony scandals all mixed up together, and that makes them seem worse.
And I and a cluster.
And what these scandals say about the Obama White House is that we're still pretty annoyed that Romney lost.
Not happy about it.
And if you see, if you could see, you can't see because this is the radio, but she makes that super sincere, serious face, like she squints her eyes, and she actually somehow pulls her nose up like the planet of apes, you know, like she got the nose going, and she's she's kind of making that overly sincere face.
Like it's this kind of cluster that makes it worse.
Like she's really farted face.
That's exactly what it is.
You were right, right?
So here she goes on.
So now let's watch the master BSer having been debunked by David Gregory in real time.
Yes, that's right.
None other than David Gregory debunked somebody in real time.
You know, that's like, I don't know.
That's like Kenny G telling someone they're a bad jazz musician.
Yes, yes, yes.
So here she goes.
She continues on as if she hasn't been debunked.
And then she deftly changes the subject to more fertile and safe ground only to have the Gomer pile of journalists stick it to her again.
So here we go.
Watch how she tries to change the.
It's watered off a duck's ass again, and then she tries to change the situation.
And about its ability to, at certain dramatic points, do the right thing.
And I got to tell you, everyone can argue about which of these things is most upsetting.
But this IRS thing is something.
So she just switched.
She just switched the subject.
So David debunked her twice, said this.
She goes, you know what, though?
But let's talk about this other thing.
And here she goes.
Something I've never seen in my lifetime.
She goes, I've never seen anything like this in my life.
But this IRS thing is something I've never seen in my lifetime.
It is the revenue gathering arm of the U.S. government.
Peggy, go wait a second.
After political Richard Nixon specifically directed people to investigate to audit people.
I mean, of course, we've seen it in our lifetime.
This is so broad.
Yeah.
She just keeps going.
She just keeps.
He took, come on, Peggy.
He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but.
So now everything she said, every point she's made has been debunked.
It's a lie.
That's false.
That's phony.
That doesn't make any sense.
It's like, and David Gregory's the one doing it to her, right?
It's like Dudley Moore just rejected your jump shot.
It's unbelievable.
So she just keeps going.
It's understood, but come on.
So here she goes.
And so here she knows, she's going to talk about the Justice Department and that Barack Obama should have been more on Eric Holder.
And here's David Gregory does it again.
Is he president or not?
I mean, ultimately, these are executive agencies which are proving so deeply problematic.
But again, you cannot mean the Justice Department.
You cannot mean the Justice Department.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Oh, I do mean the Justice Department.
So she's saying that the president should have more control over the Justice Department.
And David Gregory says, you can't mean that.
And she goes, I'm not sure what you mean.
Meaning, what the hell is going on here, David Gregory?
How many times are you going to debunk me on national television?
I have family watching.
So she's real.
She goes, I don't know what you mean.
Meaning, like, this never happens.
Why are you doing this?
So here's what, and here's what he says back to her.
Can't have the President of the United States telling the Attorney General.
Isn't that what Watergate was in part about?
That there were directions of people to be fired.
That we can't have that kind of political interference, right?
I'm not even sure what you mean.
You can't tell the Attorney General not to investigate something or to investigate something.
That's the law.
Fine.
You and your law.
Fine.
Fine.
Okay, fine.
So everything I'm saying is completely ridiculous.
But the biggest question then becomes, Why do you keep inviting me on your show if everything I'm saying is false and wrong?
What do I possibly have to offer?
But they keep inviting them on.
Now, let's watch.
Let's watch David Gregory.
He turns to Bob Woodward, who also, as it turns out, is a huge gas bag full of BS.
He's Mr. Conventional Wisdom.
Frank, I didn't know this about him until recently.
Like, he's horrible.
Bob Woodward is horrible.
So here's what Bob Woodward has to say about the AP scandal.
And let's watch David Gray.
Again, Barney Fife is arresting you.
Here we go.
Well, I think you have to kind of step back and say, what's the theory of governing here?
And the theory is, it seems, oh, there are investigations of the IRS, so we can't interfere.
There is this leak investigation of the AP, so we can't get involved.
Oh, there is an investigation of Benghazi, so we're not responsible.
The president and the executive branch need to govern on a daily basis, and you can't purchase immunity.
You can't conflate all those things, Bob.
Come on, you can.
No, you can't.
You can't say that it's okay for the president to tell the Attorney General in a criminal matter, what are you doing?
No.
Okay, so you can.
Who are you?
And what have you done with David Gregory?
What is going on here?
Do you have the clip of Woodward blaming Benghazi on John Belushi?
No, but I'm going to get that.
So here's David Gregory.
Not only is he asking a follow-up question, but he's contradicting him twice in real time.
He's going, you can't conflate all those things.
Yes, you can.
No, you can't.
So somebody really didn't get invited to a party.
Frank, what do you make of this?
I think that's a really good theory, Jimmy.
The previous Friday night, Peggy Noonan and Bob Woodward got together for drinks at a Georgetown bar, and they didn't tell David Gregory about it, and he's really pissed.
And he drove by and he saw their cars out front.
Yeah, he saw their cars, and they told him that they weren't doing it, and he was totally smobbed.
And now it's payback time.
Yeah, and now he's like, okay, you guys want to play like that?
Well, guess what?
I'm going to act like a journalist on Sunday.
So let's listen.
Now listen to how Bob Woodward.
So anyway, I don't even understand what Bob Woodward is.
I have no idea.
I'm trying to say.
You are completely correct, Robert.
I have no idea what Bob Woodward's trying to say.
And that's why David Gregory keeps going.
What are you talking about?
He literally says, what are you saying?
Here, let's listen to what he says.
Let's listen to this.
This is pretty sweet.
Let's listen.
The president and the executive branch need to govern on a daily basis, and you can't purchase immunity.
You can't conflate all those things, Bob.
Come on, you can.
No, you can't.
You can't say that it's okay for the president to tell the Attorney General in a criminal matter, what are you doing?
No, but there is a policy issue here.
Do you issue this broad-based subpoena on reporters?
Right, but the president can't interfere with that.
No, no, but there needs.
No, no.
No, no.
Listen, here's how Bob Woodward just kind of slinks off.
Listen, no, he goes, the president can't order that.
And here's what he says.
The president can't interfere with that.
No, no, but there, you need to have a policy set down, and there is proper communication between the Attorney General and the White House counsel on matters like this.
Is he crazy?
Shut up.
Shut up.
He's got nothing.
Clarification is, was Bob Woodward Robert Redford or Dustin Hoffman?
He was Robert Redford.
Of course.
Of course.
Who makes a point of view?
But he's nothing like Robert Redford.
Just a reminder, what are the three branches of government?
The executive, the legislative, and the judicial.
Not the executive legislative.
And the Steve.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm on the phone with Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan.
Hi, hi, Peggy.
Hello, Jimmy.
Hi, Peggy.
How are you doing?
It's nice to have you on the show.
I'm very, very concerned about this.
About the so-called scandals everybody's talking about?
Is that what you're concerned about?
About being on your show.
But I truly believe it's much, much too late to do anything about it now.
Peggy, what are you talking about?
Peggy, I saw you on Meet the Press last Sunday.
I got to tell you, I think David Gregory really took you to the woodshed.
He really gave you the watch for.
Understood, understood, understood.
Okay, okay.
Okay, you were going on and on about how this IRS thing was unprecedented in your lifetime.
And David Gregory pointed out how Richard Nixon did something far worse in targeting his enemies for the IRS audits.
And that was certainly well within our lifetime, right?
Understood, Jimmy.
Understood.
And yet I feel in my heart that what President Obama has done is very, very, very bad thing.
Possibly the worst thing that any president has ever done in recent history and possibly in the history of mankind.
Hey, you know what?
We didn't have time to get to the rest of that call, the Peggy Noonan call, but you can hear the rest of it.
It's going to be on the premium content.
It only costs five bucks a month.
That's a little bit more than a dollar a week.
I'm not a maths surgeon, but I'm pretty sure that's right where it is, like a dollar.
So guess what else is going to be in the premium content this week?
We're going to have a Bill O'Reilly drunk Bill O'Reilly calls in four times.
You want to hear the first one?
Here's the first one.
BEEP BROAR HAHAHAHAHAHA Bore.
Bore.
Hey, you big h-hole.
I dare you to say this Huffington post-tongue twister five times while getting paid for your blog.
Side boob, baby bomb, side boo, baby bomb.
Side boob, baby bump, side bumpy, blumpy, bumpy son of a fucking bitch.
It's just that kind of quality entertainment you're going to find in this week's premium content.
Plus, we're going to do those commercials.
I play the commercials from this week's NBC's Meet the Press, and we cast what they're selling.
It's a more fun game than you think.
