Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
This week, pre-enrollment began to sign up for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act.
On the first day, the federal website was visited by 2.8 million people, also known as Takers.
As expected, there were numerous glitches, which Republicans claim proves we must get rid of Obamacare.
By that logic, we should also get rid of computers.
Throughout the country, thousands of inquiries quickly overwhelm the system, but it was still more pleasant than going to the DMV to have your driver's license picture taken.
Here in California, there were also glitches, and some visitors to the website ended up with tickets to a Clippers game.
The success of Obamacare will greatly depend on young, healthy people buying insurance.
Though many of them may be too busy twerking.
Experts say Americans may yet warm up to the new law, except for those who hate Obama so much they will let themselves get sick and die just out of spite.
Not coincidentally this week, conservative lawmakers shut down the government in order to prevent millions of future voters from being grateful to a black man.
Republicans no longer discuss what to replace Obamacare with, except to say that Americans have nothing to worry about as long as they've accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show Music The show for safe.
it's hard to talk when you keep adding.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
He's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's episode.
I'm joined in the studio.
Cross the glass for me.
Guy who's going to not do jokes he's going to do on his own podcast.
Glad you got over it.
It's Ham Radio's Jim Earl.
Hey, Jim, how are you?
Hey, man, how you doing?
Hey, I heard you were kind of feeling some lousy a while ago.
How's your health?
I'm doing much more.
Oh, that's really great.
Glad to hear it.
Anyway, I'll be at Parter's Laugh Oven and Passaic all next week.
Come on by and see me, will you guys?
There's a raffle after the show.
Okay.
We will come by and see you.
Next to him, hilarious comedian, co-provider for the Daily Show, it's Steve Rosenfield.
Hey, Steve, how are you?
Great, Jimmy, to be back.
Great, Jimmy, to be back.
Now, that didn't come out right.
Were you at a sentence structure class?
I got nervous.
Hello, Jimmy.
It is great to be back.
Hey, Steve, great to be back.
Across from him, hilarious comedian and the host of Comedy and Everything Else, our resident Latina.
It's Steph Zamarano.
Hi, Steph.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Jimmy, and I'm pro-choice.
Oh, hey, Stephanie, great to be back.
Great to be back.
Next to her, hilarious comedian from Team Yasamura.
It's Robert Yasamura.
Hi, Robert.
How are you?
The better for your asking.
Oh, I thought you were going to say ass.
Hey, Robert Begg, agree to be back.
And let's do some jokes before we get to the jokes, all right?
Hey, Republicans are calling poor people deadbeats.
They're calling poor people deadbeats as they cast the checks they're still getting after shutting the government down.
Isn't that kind of interesting?
And Republicans are willing to let Americans become poorer based on the principles that Americans should be sicker.
See, because you got to know a lot of background to get that show.
I like that.
That's a nice principle.
Yeah.
Hey, maybe Republicans will agree not to shut the government down if everyone who gets Obamacare agrees to get sick and die anyway.
Yes.
Yeah.
There you go.
There you are.
Hey, we all made fun of Anthony Guiner.
We all did.
But there's no member of Congress ever publicly jerked off more than Ted Cruz did last week.
Am I right?
You are right.
Am I right?
Ted Cruz voted for cloture that he filibustered against this week.
Because he was so tired.
Yeah, he was.
But this weekend, he's going to start a hunger strike immediately before brunch.
Brunch, Jim.
I said brunch.
You know, clothe.
It's the funniest meal.
Brunch.
It is.
Cloture is the sound he makes when he jerks off.
Closure.
So I've been told that if the Republicans actually pass their legislative agenda, that the Hunger Games is going to be categorized as a documentary.
Yeah.
Hey, what?
Hey, by the way, I don't know if you guys saw, did anybody see the Emmys?
Did anybody see the Emmys?
We were off, but did you guys see the Emmys?
We were off.
No, I did not know.
Did you see the Emmys?
They did a tribute to Jonathan Winners.
Oh, nice.
And what a better way to pay tribute to a genius like Jonathan Winners than by not showing any clips of his work.
What?
Oh, really?
Yes.
And Jack Kluckman as well.
They didn't show any visitors.
They didn't even do a tribute to him.
What did they do?
Just like show their writing?
Are you kidding me?
You showed a picture of him in the long montage of other dead people.
You're kidding.
Jimmy Klugman from the odd couple?
But that stalker?
That glee guy who shot up with heroin and drank and died in his hotel room.
He got a big tribute.
He should.
He's young and pretty.
And he didn't accomplish much.
He got high.
But it's, you know why they gave him a tribute?
Because the people who are watching that show are still watching.
He's still currently watching.
He remembers, man.
Hey, also, I don't know if you heard about the Pope has been coming out saying a lot of compassionate and common sense things lately, and that has sent the Vatican Council into crisis lockdown mode.
Crisis lockdown mode, Jim.
Yeah, happy I'm back?
All right, what's coming up on today's show?
Well, Bill Crystal, a millionaire, went on Morning Joe and told poor people, don't worry about the government shutdown.
It's not going to affect him.
We check in with all the Republican congresspeople who are taking their paycheck.
Plus, we talk in, we got a behind the scenes look at Rand Paul's strategy session talk with Mitch McConnell.
This is actually true.
We actually do have a little bit behind the scenes from them.
Plus, we check in how Fox News is talking about Obamacare.
And plus, then Bernstein from Woodward and Bernstein talks about the GOP in straightforward language, and we figure out who is the smart guy in their team.
Plus, Jamie Diamond paid a $12 billion, the largest fine in history of Wall Street.
This week he negotiated with regulators, and the people at CNBC think that's just fantastic.
We're going to check in with them.
Plus, Wolf Blitzer interviews a young lady who was a Paralympian.
She was a gold medalist at the 2012 Paralympics as a swimmer.
She's been disbarred from competing because the committee says she's not disabled enough.
This is true story.
That's ridiculous.
This is true story.
So they think she had a leg up or something.
Nice.
Plus, we got phone calls from John Boehner.
The Pope calls in.
Ron Paul calls in.
And Governor Rick Perry.
Plus a lot lot more.
today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
*Dramatic music*
Okay, so we all know what's happening with the debt.
You don't need me to inform you what's happening with the continuing resolution or with what Ted Gruce, Ted Cruz's phony filibuster.
And it did seem, I went and checked NBC, Nightly News with Brian Williams to check to see how they were.
They reported the first day of the government shutdown.
And of course, they didn't do the job they should have done, but they did a better job than I expected them to.
They actually told people what was causing this.
And what is causing this is they broke it down.
A sliver of Tea Party Republicans, these 80 guys who signed this thing, this letter, sent it to John Boehner saying we want to shut down the government if they don't.
So that happened, right?
So NBC did break it down.
They did say it's caused by these people.
And I couldn't, my head spun around.
I couldn't believe it that they were actually telling people what happened.
So you don't need me to.
So my point is the listeners of this show don't need me to explain.
Everybody knows what's going on.
The thing that I find the most interesting is that they don't have a plan to get out.
That's the thing that's interesting, is that John Boehner has no plan to get out.
He didn't have a plan to get out when he got into this, but he's screwed.
He can't corral his caucus.
Watch your mouth.
So that's the only interesting, I think those are the interesting things.
The other interesting thing to say about this whole debacle is that, of course, the Democrats are in a position that even if they win this, they lose this.
So it's a lose-lose for the Democrats because the amount of money that the Democrats want to fund the government is the sequester number.
So we're living under the sequest.
Remember how they said the sequester is horrible?
We can't because it cuts too much money from social programs.
Well, we're living under.
That's happening now.
So people are, that's actually affecting people.
So even if the Republicans let go of the stipulation that they want to screw over Obamacare a little bit in order for them to pass this budget or a continuing resolution, which is funding the government, even if the Democrats say no and the Republicans cave on that part, the Republicans still win because we're still playing by their budget numbers.
So this was, again, a bad negotiation by Barack Obama, led us to this place where it's a lose-lose for the Democrats and a win-win for the Republicans.
So that's the only part that isn't being reported as much, I think, as it should.
I did see it be reported, but not as much as it should.
So let's just go.
So I was Morning Joe.
Okay, you know, I like to watch Morning Joe.
It's because you get a good look at the mainstream, the conventional wisdom of the day, and you get to see a hole get poked in it because he'll often bring on someone like Sam Stein, which he brings on here, or, you know, somebody who actually is going to tell you the truth about something.
So what Sam Stein did the night before the government shut down was that he went through all the local papers from across the country and he read them to see if they were reporting any of the effects of the government shutdown, who it would affect.
He found out that not only in Arkansas alone, 80,000 people are going to lose their nutritional assistance.
80,000 people, nutritional assistance.
That's stuff like formula for babies.
That's wick.
That's for your baby.
That's Head Start.
That's pre-K.
Everybody's losing that stuff.
So they showed another young black girl who's going to college who won't be able to go to college now because she doesn't have Head Start.
So she has to stay home with her kid.
Her kid, who's four, can't go to Head Start while she goes to college because they're canceled.
So it's a lot of, so it really impacts the poor the hardest.
Well, it's a good thing these people aren't going to be allowed to vote in the next election.
That's convenient.
So it really impacts the poor the most.
And I'm sure the Republicans' calculation is those people are voting for Barack Obama anyway, or voting Democrat anyway.
So here's Bill Crystal.
Bill Crystal, okay, if you don't know, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, a big Republican, wrong about everything.
But he says everything in a very nice way.
The way he talks, it's like he's Mr. Rogers.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Bill Crystal.
So Bill Crystal, if you don't know who he is, Google him.
Look at a picture of his face.
And tell me if I'm the only one who was also creeped out by the fact that Bill Crystal is always smiling like he's hosting a children's show.
Do you know what I'm saying?
He is.
He's doing very well, though, Jimmy.
That must be why.
He is doing very well.
You mean financially he's doing very well.
Yes, yes.
And when he says hateful things, he still has that effing smile on his face.
It's that one that says, here, I'll play a little bit.
Here's what he said about this.
Here's what he had to say about the shutdown.
And first he says something reasonable, and then he says something horrible.
Shut down.
Yes, I mean, if I were a dictator of the Republican Party, it's probably I would have said this is a little too steep a hill.
It's maybe imprudent, but I don't think it's the end of the world.
Let's see what happens.
So he said if he was the dictator of the Republican Party, he would say, let's not do this.
But since we did it, it's not the end of the, it's not the end of the world.
Let's hear we go.
Imprudent, but I don't think it's the end of the world.
Let's see what happens before we start blaming people.
I don't think the world's coming to an end.
I mean, I think that's the idea that this is.
So he doesn't, so that's what he says.
I don't think the world's coming to an end.
Come on, this isn't a big deal.
Come on.
What's the big deal?
So then Sam Stein from the Huffington Post breaks in and says this to him.
A little reality.
Yeah, basically.
I mean, I just, the idea that this is not the end of the world and that they're funding the three most important agencies.
I mean, it's maybe in your world, it's not the end of the world, but I've spent the last six hours last night just surveying local news stories about this.
I mean, 85,000 people are losing nutritional assistance in Arkansas.
That's not inside the Beltway.
That's in Arkansas.
13 Head Start programs are closing in Connecticut.
That's not inside the Beltway.
So for these people who are affected by these cuts, it is sort of comparable to the end of the world.
And I understand that, you know, it's great to wait it out and to negotiate from a better platform with more power and the debt ceiling and all that.
But those two weeks that you waited out are consequential for a whole number of people, not just in the agencies that the Republicans want funded, but many, many agencies beyond that.
And I think we tend to lose that perspective when we have these types of conversations.
Okay, so Sam Stein kind of straightens him out.
Well, what a relief that Sam Stein came to the table with that information, to be exacting with how many thousands of people were going to be out of this additional aid.
I think it's...
I mean, he knew what the question was going to be, and he came armed for bear.
And it doesn't sound like he had to do a lot of research to get there.
Oh, once again, a liberal tries to make hungry people into actual flesh and blood human beings instead of the vague nagging abstractions that Bill Kristol knows they really are.
Right?
Hey, look, if people go without food, it's only because Obama didn't do the right thing and deny people medical care.
You can't have both, Jimmy.
You can't.
You cannot have both.
But did you like how Bill Kristol, I like how he said it.
I don't think anyone's going to starve because of the shutdown.
Oh, he says that in that Fred Rogers, aren't you adorable sort of way?
Bill Kristol.
That's Bill Kristol.
So he comes back, by the way.
Bill Kristo comes back.
So after Sam Stein gives him a dressing down, Bill Kristol comes back with this.
Look, I think if there are genuine human emergencies, the Republican House should move to fund those relevant programs.
But the entire federal government.
He goes, look, if they're genuine human.
He just told you a litany of them in Arkansas.
He just said 80,000 people in Arkansas are going to lose their day.
He just told you.
He just told you an emergency that is being ignored.
The Republican House isn't going to vote on that anyway.
They don't give a shit about them.
They're not going to vote piecemeal to fund all the projects they don't want funded.
And Bill Kristol knows they're not going to fund those programs.
And second, here we go.
He's got more to say.
Chief of staff at the Education Department.
I had to designate the essential employees when we shut down.
So he's telling a humorous anecdote about when he was the deputy secretary of the education department under Reagan.
So this is a humorous anecdote that dovetails in with what's happening right here.
to fund those relevant programs, but the entire federal government...
I had to designate the essential employees when we shut down.
And we designated, I joke to Bill Bedder, who was my boss.
We just designated, say that no one at the education department is essential and all out of state.
No, that's not true.
That's too flip because there are people who depend on education funds.
I understand that before I get lectured by Sam, but the truth is there are series.
There are parts of the people who are really.
So he tells a hilarious story about when he had to fire a bunch of people at the education department.
None of them are essential.
Isn't this funny?
He thought it was essential.
This is hilarious.
Everybody's not essential.
Fire everyone.
No Christmas.
It's great.
I'm rich.
So that's what he keeps going.
It's good that he was in charge of a department that he didn't care about.
That he didn't care about.
That he's the perfect man for the job who doesn't think anybody should actually be there.
That's what I'm saying.
There are urgent in parts that are not.
The Republican House can move on cases of genuine human emergency.
But a one or two week shutdown is not going to be the end of the world.
And if you can't go into the Smithsonian.
Unless you're on nutritional assistance.
There's a really notable thing.
Honestly, even if you're on nutritional assistance from the federal government, you know, localities can help out.
Churches can help out.
I believe that no one is going to starve in Arkansas because of the shutdown.
I'm really.
Okay, so.
That's what begging is for.
Yes.
Well, I look how he goes, hey, local municipalities can help out.
Churches can help out.
Bill Kristol, ignoring the fact that if they were helping out, we wouldn't need the federal program.
That's why there's a federal program, you idiot.
It's not like there's a bunch of churches in every community in America that isn't already at their charity capacity.
Everybody's sitting around going, no, we don't do any charity work because the government does it all now.
And we just wait.
We keep our charity work in reserve, waiting for in case there's a government shutdown once every 15 years.
And then we ratchet up the charity.
Okay, I'm confused.
Don't I pay taxes so these programs are available to people that need these programs?
Yes.
Isn't that where my tax paying money is supposed to go?
Yes.
And when he said something in the fact about your localities will be helping out and the churches will be helping out.
Yes.
Isn't the bottom line like, no, the government should be helping out.
That's what they're meant to do.
Right.
See, what he's trying to do is disguise his horrible public policy as accepting reality of a government shutdown.
He likes that these programs aren't funded.
He doesn't think poor people need help from the government.
He thinks that should be the purview of churches and local municipalities.
He doesn't think the federal government should be in this bed.
That's what he's not saying.
But that is the truth, right?
And so that's why he goes, oh, that's how they all think.
These rich millionaires who are completely out of touch, have always went out of touch.
Let them eat cake is what he's saying.
Oh, nobody's going to starve in America.
He has no idea what it's like to be poor in America.
Sandstein just pointed that out to him, and he completely ignored everything Sam Stein just said.
Completely, he goes, well, if there's a real, I just told you about a real emergency.
On one hand, he's got, you know, he does have a point.
You know, if the Catholic Church sold like one half of its $8 billion in assets and distributed it to the poor.
You know, for Bill Kristol, Jim, I don't think that the thought of poor people starving, that's not an argument against the shutdown for him.
That's more like icing on the cake for him.
Don't you think?
I think it's like, oh, and we get, and there's going to be some poor people who don't eat.
Fantastic.
You know, there is a silver lining to this whole government shutdown saying your ass cam is still up and running, right?
Yes.
24 hours.
Yes.
24-7.
And local municipalities are in worse shape than the federal government.
And we should say that they're more partisan.
You know, a lot of states, for example, have refused Medicaid expansion.
They will not have Medicaid come the first of the year because they were so partisan, they turned it down from the federal government as a condition of Obamacare.
So the chances are that there are a lot of local municipalities that are even more hateful towards the poor and not less.
Yes.
It's just, there is no better example of how of an out-of-touch royalty.
You know, Bill Crick.
Churches.
Yeah, people can go to churches.
We're talking about government policies here.
And he's telling people who are hungry to go get a sandwich where God lives.
That's what he's telling people to do.
Hey, you know what else?
Hey, if you're out of Head Start and pre-K funding, you can go over to the indoor playground at McDonald's, I guess.
That's what his next advice is.
It's he loves this.
Bill Crystal loved this.
I guaranteed you last night his wife got fucked better than she has since 1956.
I'm telling you right now.
That's why he was smiling.
Yes, this is why he's a church.
And plus, let's remember that to Republicans, the shutdown on the government, it gives them a glimpse of a utopian future in which the government doesn't do anything for anybody.
That's their idea.
Yes.
Yes.
And a two-week shutdown, Bill Crystal's right, it's not the end of the world.
The end of the world would be if Republicans got blamed for this and then couldn't win back the Senate.
That would be the end of the thing.
They're worried about it.
So Bernstein's sitting there right now from Woodward.
What's Carl Bernstein, right?
And so here he jumps in.
He couldn't wait and he jumped in and said this to Bill Crystal.
We're glad we're going to open up the churches and synagogues for the homeless of America Because of this kind of act.
I think now we're down to what this is about and the difference between inside the beltway argument and mechanics and real principles.
This is an act of irresponsibility on such a scale.
And it goes to the heart of what our politics have become.
And incidentally, I'll give you an awful lot about what the Democrats have done in Congress.
But I think it's time to once again reevaluate the Obama presidency and to look at it as a halting mechanism for this demagogic flavor.
I mean, I think we've got to hear it.
So Bernstein steps in and says, oh, it's great.
All the churches are going to start opening up their doors now to all the homeless and hungry people.
That's what's going to happen right now.
Just left and right.
People poking holes in his stupid ridiculousness.
And he doesn't care.
Bill Crystal doesn't care.
He's just sitting there.
He's doing this in plain view.
A millionaire sitting on television talking about screw the poor.
Other people will take care.
And he doesn't care.
Like that, just like that's just such bad manners, right?
Would you be seen doing that?
It's you talk about punching downward.
Well, he's been rewarded for it.
Yes.
No, you're right.
All these people have.
This country, the citizens reward.
He has no shame.
It's like you don't have any shade.
That doesn't make you feel afterward sitting there, the richest guy in the room talking about how poor people are going to be okay.
That's one of the perks of being Bill Crystal is that you don't have to care.
You don't have to care.
You don't have to respect even Bernstein.
No, the richest guy in the room sitting there telling how the poor people are going to have it okay.
And how many poor people don't mind the richest guy in the room saying things like that because they all believe they're going to be rich like him someday.
Hey, I never got ever got a job from a poor person.
I never got hired by a poor guy.
You ever heard those idiots?
You ever hear those morons, those blue-collar Republicans?
I never got a hardware.
I never got it.
Oh, shit.
Well, that Sam Stein goes on that show gives me hope.
Like that he has like this, he's a voice of reason on it.
And then when Bill Crystal said, are you lecturing me?
Yeah, I'm going to get lectured by Sam because I'm not lecturing you.
I'm telling you the facts.
He did a little research.
He did a little journalism.
He went and looked through local newspapers from across coast to coast to find out what the effects of the shutdown was on local communities.
And he found out some effects.
80,000 people do nutritional assistance.
And he's perfectly fine throwing these programs.
He's fine getting rid of the programs.
In addition, he was doubling down to get rid of education.
Yes.
That's the next.
That's right.
And he tells to help take the edge off his I want to starve the poor people.
He tells a story about how he wanted to defund their education, too.
*laughter*
Jimmy, John Boehner.
I have not taken a dump in a week.
All week, Louie Gobert has been walking through the halls with a visible erection.
Jimmy, I think I may have broken the country.
In the words of Rick Perry, oops.
We all know what happened to Rick Perry, don't we?
That guy is the Richard Grieco of national politics.
Yes, I've been drinking things for asking Jimbo.
Mistake one.
I got rid of earmarks.
The axle grease of congressional politics.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
No more park barrel politics, I said.
What I should have said was stick your thumbs up your ass right now and get comfortable because ain't nothing getting done.
Mistake number two.
Vilifying the black man's healthcare thingy.
Politically, a winner.
But how was I to know the insane minions of the Koch brothers would work themselves into a Rwandan machete frenzy?
I thought they'd eventually figure out it's a Republican lie in the first fucking place.
So it turns out most of those guys can't read.
Can't read.
Mistake last.
Saying I wouldn't bring anything up for a vote which did not have the support of the majority of the majority.
Sounded great at the time.
Had the words majority and majority.
Semantic winner.
Well, it turns out the majority of the majority is total batshit.
The chair of their caucus is Michelle the Beard Bachman.
What does that tell you?
These fuckers aren't scared of anything, man.
I just saw Joe Wilson and Pete Sessions throwing lawn darts at each other and giggling.
Now I am so fucked.
I throw this thing for an up or down vote, and the shutdown ends, but they'll stray me up by my ball.
You heard me.
If I stand firm on the defunded mamacare thing, well, the GOP might as well start calling Hillary Madam President right now.
Either way, I will be eating the lion's share of this particular poop sandwich.
And yes, somehow I'll get out of this.
Because I'm Boehner, baby.
In the meantime, I got to go acting dignit over nothing.
Ciao.
Very nice.

It was very sweet.
It made me feel very nice.
It turned out it wasn't a heart attack as they feared.
It was it might be a hiatal hernia.
Whatever that is.
Doesn't matter.
So thanks everybody for being nice.

Welcome back to the Jimmy Door show.
We've got some great stuff coming up in the second half.
Phone call from Rick Perry, Governor Rick Perry calls in.
Plus, we have a morning remembrance, hilarious obituary of a real dead person from Jim Earl.
Let's get back to the studio where I'm joined by two former writers for the daily show, Steve Rosenfield and Jim Earl.
Steph Zamarano, the host of Comedy and Everything Else, hilarious comedian Robert Yasamura.
And we're talking about Obamacare, how it was perceived in the media and elsewhere.
So let's get back to the studio right now.
Here's how they were covering.
I was watching, because Elizabeth Hasselbeck now was over at Fox News.
That's such a landed on her feet.
I was worried.
That had to be such a tough transition for her.
I wonder where she gets her talking point.
Now there's no one there to correct her.
There's no one there.
So we have to rely on Brian Kilmead to correct her.
Brian Kilmead.
Okay, so here's who's the blonde guy?
Deve Doocy.
So Steve Doocy, very aptly named.
And here's what he was saying about Obamacare.
Here we go.
Here we go.
All you have to do is look at the polls.
The Affordable Care Act, while it is law of the land, it is wildly unpopular in this country.
And so a lot of people go, well, you know what?
The Tea Party wang of the Republican Party that they're holding the rest of the Congress hostage.
You know what?
Those people, many of them were elected to absolutely, you know, they campaigned on.
If you send me to Washington, I will do everything I can to defund or delay it.
Okay, so there's Steve Doocy making the case, right?
That's the talking point that these people already.
Brian Kilmead steps in.
Brian Kilmead, this is the other guy.
This is the so here we go.
Yeah, you say it's unpopular, and over 50% of the country doesn't seem to want it.
But 8 million more people voted for it because Mitt Romney would have been president if they were election last time was not about Obama.
But he talked all over.
So Brian Kilmead comes in to Steve Ducey.
He says, you say it's not popular, but 8 million people more voted for him than Mitt Romney.
It's like when Brian Kilmead has to correct you, when he corrects, that's like Michelle Bachman correcting your grammar.
You know, you need a meeting with someone.
You need some therapy.
So he goes on to he keeps correcting Steve Doocy.
It doesn't stop there.
Yeah, they're talking about binders and right, but they elected Mitt Romney.
He would have repealed it.
And on top of that, too, if this thing is so bad and is so unorganized, as we're seeing this morning, it is, why not let it start?
Because then you could get the Senate if you're a Republican, and maybe you have a shot at the White House if you're a Republican, and you can begin to unwind it.
But right now, it's been flooded with the lockdown information.
Right, I mean it.
There you go.
Brian Killmey.
He's like, hey, so either way, this doesn't make any sense.
Why would you shut down the government to defund something that you know is horrible that people will hate?
And then you'll all get control of government in two years.
And then you can get rid of it.
That's why they were in a panic to stop it on October 1st, because that's when it was going to start.
Because that's when it was going to start, and people are going to love it, and they're screwed.
Well, and it's going to start no matter what.
I mean, it was already, it's funded.
It's already started.
It's mandatory funding.
Yeah.
It's already funded.
So if I apply now for health care in January, I'll be able to get it.
Possibly.
It's kicks in in January.
Right.
How many people want that and need that?
Many people.
They're going to hate it.
I mean, this is not, this is the most pointless endeavor because the Republicans, it'll either fail.
No matter what they do, Obamacare will succeed or fail on its own merits.
The ship left.
Yes.
So this is a complete waste of time.
So here is Senator Rand Paul and Mitch McConnell.
We're bumping into each other off camera.
Mitch McConnell's still hooked up with a microphone in the Capitol Rotunda.
And so I'm going to play this and listen to what Rand Paul.
This is Rand Paul comes over to Mitch McConnell and does a little strategizing about what to do about this shutdown.
And let's listen.
Let's listen to what he says.
I'm all wired up here.
I just didn't see an end.
I just go over and over again.
We're willing to compromise.
We're willing to negotiate.
I don't think they poll tested.
We won't negotiate.
I think it's awful for them to say that over and over again.
So he comes over to Mitch McConnell's talking right into a microphone.
And McConnell tells him I'm wired.
You're wired up here.
And he comes over, starts talking.
He goes, I just keep saying we're willing to negotiate over and over and over.
I just keep saying it.
Even though he knows it's not true, they're not willing to negotiate.
And he goes, then he thinks they're saying that they're not willing to go.
He goes, I think it's a loser for him.
This is what he's, it's all politics.
It has nothing to do with anything.
Here we go.
Keith says a little bit more.
And I just came back from the two-hour meeting with him.
And that was basically the same view, probably if it was.
Well, I think if we keep saying we wanted to defund it, we fought for that.
But now we're willing to compromise.
I think they can't.
I think, well, I know we don't want to be here, but we're going to win this, I think.
So there he is.
He goes, I know we don't want to be here, but we're going to win this.
We just keep saying we're willing to compromise.
I hope I'm not being recorded when I say this.
We're going to win.
We just keep saying that.
We just keep saying it.
It's almost weird to hear what you know is being said.
You know.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Well, it's like reading their minds.
I'm surprised, though, that, but there's no evidence to back up what he's saying.
You know, people know that this isn't, even though the Democrats are saying we're not going to negotiate, they know what that means now.
He's wrong on this one.
Yeah, he's ignoring polling.
Well, how can he physically?
Again, people who have an opinion about this, their opinion is Republicans are responsible.
Half the Republicans think that.
Half the Republicans want it.
That's the thing you can't get away from.
If this went to a straight up and down vote, it would pass.
It would be done.
The CR would pass.
So I thought that was pretty interesting.
And that's the thing.
Boehner might, once it comes to the debt ceiling crisis, which is coming quickly, he may have to, and he said he probably will send it for a while.
Okay, we have to cut it down.
I have to wrap it up.
What?
Go ahead.
No, no, I only was.
Why won't they do the up-and-down vote again?
Because he's married himself to the hastard.
Oh, okay, that's it.
Okay.
Because he's married himself to he will not bring anything to the floor that does not have to be a matter of time.
Right.
The hassle rule means that, yeah, the majority of the Republicans have to be in favor of it.
Even though, let's say, 100 of them are, that's not enough.
He needs to get a majority, which I think would be 108 of them or 107.
How many Republicans are there?
No, there's 232 Republicans, so you need 114 or 16, something like that.
So if he only gets 100, that's not enough.
So he's not going to bring up the thing.
*music*
And now a reading from the book Morning Remembrance.
Fake funny obituaries of real dead people by Jim Earle.
Cal Worthington, circus performer.
Is Cal Worthington in his burial spot?
Cal Worthington, the legendary four dealer who once boasted he'd eat a bug if he bought a car, is now getting eaten by bugs after buying the farm.
Born in 1920, Worthington grew up in stark poverty of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl with no one to confide in but his dog Sand.
Things got so bad during the Depression that young Worthington had to quit school and help support his family by selling babies to hobos during World War II.
He flew 29 missions over Germany in a 1941 B-17 Flying Fortress.
You know, a lot of times Boeing would register and sell at B-17, and for some reason the deal wouldn't go through.
And now they're stuck with a used plane, but it's only got a few miles on it.
Look at it, check it.
Here's a dandy little bomber that'll sell for about half of what it's worth new.
This is where your friends are.
After the war, Worthington built a cult following into the biggest used car dealership west of the Mississippi with his weird collection of freaky circus animals posing as pets.
But to anyone south of the Mason-Dixon line, it was just another Tuesday.
Cause of death has not yet been determined, though experts speculate he may have been suffering from feline AIDS.
All those tigers used to play around with and roll around with the feline AIDS.
Okay.
His ad campaigns were so popular, the phrase go see Cal became part of the vocabulary of every Southern Californian.
And once they read the full lease agreement, so did the phrase, go see a lawyer.
In 1979, Worthington was worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
It was at this point he decided to divorce his wife, Barbara, and trade her in for a newer model with bigger headlights.
You can find Cal Worthington's memorial off the 405 Freeway.
2850 Bell Flora Boulevard in Long Beach.
All he asks is that you see his grave first.
Come on down.
It's just a big old giant friendly supermarket of death.
He's got acres and acres and acres and acres of death.
Caskets open till midnight every night.
See you here.

So now let's check in with the Republicans who are going to take their pay, even though their staff isn't going to get paid.
Nobody else is getting paid in government except the, who's this guy?
Oh, it's Mike Lee, junior Republican from Utah.
So here's Mike Lee, junior Republican senator from Utah.
Here's what he says.
I've seen a list of dozens of senators and congressmen who decided they're not going to take any pay during the shutdown.
Do you have any plans to do something like that?
I don't.
You will continue to.
No, he doesn't say he hasn't any plans.
Wow.
He doesn't have any plans to not take his pay and pay.
Here we go.
To be paid, right?
I'm working.
I'll continue to be paid.
What about staffers?
I understand that congressional staffers likely won't be paid during this period.
Is that correct?
Yeah, it's not yet clear how long this is going to last, but we're going on to a smaller crew.
We'll have a narrower staff than we have had in the past during a shutdown.
So some people would look at that and say, okay, 800,000 federal employees are being told they're not going to get paid.
But yet lawmakers, the guys who are kind of controlling the purse strings, still continue to get paid.
They see a disconnect there.
What do you think?
Well, the point is when lawmakers are in session, when lawmakers are working, they are considered essential.
They're not considered expendable, and you don't want the lawmakers influenced in their decision-making by whether or not they're going to get their paycheck.
Yeah, yeah.
He wants he wants.
Yes, he doesn't want to be unduly influenced by people telling him he's a selfish prick.
That's right.
Does not want that.
Yes, and he should be paid.
I get his point that he should be paid because he's staying on the job during this crisis, the crisis which he worked so hard to bring about.
Give the man some credit.
Yes.
And the thing is, he knew this question was coming.
You can tell he knew this question was coming, but at no point did he think, hey, maybe while explaining my position on this matter, I should express some sympathy for the federal employees that are getting F'd over right now.
But he didn't.
You know, here's what he says at the end.
You want them to come to consensus.
You want them to get the government funded.
You want that to be on the basis on the merits of the decisions and not on the basis of something else.
I mean, you could almost take one for the team, right?
I mean, and decide that, you know, like a bunch of these other senators and congressmen, that, you know, maybe you'd do the same.
I mean, nobody in the Utah delegation is doing it.
Do you think that it would speak to those employees that are trying to make their mortgages that, hey, we're on the same side?
Or do you think, do you think people are going to look at this and say, that doesn't seem quite fair to us?
Yeah, I understand the point, and I've answered the question.
So I've seen a list of dozens of people.
Yes, yes, yes.
I see your point.
And can I just say, this is Mike Lee, who ran on less government, right?
That's his whole thing.
He runs on less government and has actively tried to not govern at all since they got in.
And he says with a straight face that he ought to be paid because he's essential personnel.
There's some deep irony there.
There's deep irony there.
Well, he also has to pay a lot of tithes to the Holy Father in Utah.
So he's got to take that money.
I wonder how the conservative, non-essential employee feels now.
Like, Are they more convicted to their GOP and Tea Party than ever now that they don't have a job?
Like, how do you go back to a job that they said you're expendable right now?
And sure, it might screw things up.
Steph, I don't know.
I don't know.
And the fact that these guys don't feel shame.
You know, it's like Tay's taking the money.
He's being told that's horrible.
Do you understand how this looks?
And he's like, hey, look, I don't give.
I couldn't care less.
If I were capable of feeling shame, would I be shutting down the government to prevent people from going to the doctor?
No, I wouldn't.
Look at what you're dealing with.
I'm a monster.
I don't think his conservative underlings are going to make the connection.
Just like tea partiers don't make the connection.
Right, Medicare is part of the government health plan.
Yes.
So here's another guy.
Here's another guy.
He was on with Carol Costello, and I forget this guy's name, but he's a Republican congressman, and here's what he had to say to Carol Costello.
Time.
Are you accepting your paycheck?
I am.
You know, I'm here at my duty station.
He's at his duty station.
Duty.
He's at his duty station.
So in case the boat starts sinking, you got to get your life vest.
And he's at his duty station.
He said duty.
Is that a nautical term?
I think it is.
Duty station.
Yes, it's duty.
Trying to keep the government open.
We've produced no less than four different scenarios and plans that Harry Reid and the Senate Democrats, along with the president, have all rejected.
So as long as I'm at my duty station, as long as I'm going to take my paycheck.
I think it seems the wrong way.
You know how angry, angry.
A lot of people are across the country that lawmakers are choosing to keep their paychecks.
They said, why should you keep your paychecks when government workers can't receive theirs because you're actually not doing your job?
Okay, so that's Carol Costello.
Wow.
She's able to repeat a conventional wisdom talking point.
I like it.
When it's appropriate, here it is.
And here's what he says.
Well, first of all, every time the government shut down in the past, government workers, when they came back, got back pay.
And furthermore, even the lawmakers who are saying they won't get paid have to get paid under the Constitution.
So the best they're doing is holding their pay at the clerk's desk.
So why wouldn't you hold your pay at the clerk's desk then?
You know, it's a symbol.
Because I want it now, no.
Right, exactly.
Exactly.
So why don't you hold your pay like so many other lawmakers are doing?
Well, I'm very fortunate and lucky that Kathy and I both donate a lot to charity.
And we'll continue to do so.
It sends the wrong message.
I'm very privileged to give a lot of money to charity.
Don't want to send the wrong message.
Don't want to send the wrong message by not taking your check.
He wants to send the right message.
That's why he's taking the check while nobody else gets theirs because he's sending the right message.
And that message is he doesn't give a shit what people think.
He's greedy.
Yes.
And he's hypocritical.
I'm not going to get a message that I'm not doing my job.
In fact, we are doing our job.
And we're fighting on behalf of people.
We're fighting to get rid of, like I said before, one of the most insidious laws ever developed by man.
Okay, well, let's talk about that.
Okay, so it's one of the most insidious laws by men.
Which, by the way, if this is such a horrible law, of course, everybody has heard this point before.
I'll repeat it on my show.
Why not let it go into effect?
And then you guys take back the Congress, the Senate in 2014, and the White House in 2016.
The insidious thing about it is everyone's going to like it.
Everyone's going to love it.
That's right.
That's how insidious it is.
That's exactly how it's city.
Here's another Republican congressional congressperson, Renee Lee.
Renee, are you going to take your money?
The thing of it is, is I need my paycheck.
She needs her paycheck.
Unlike all the rest of the people who work in government or the people who depend on the government for WIC or for nutritional assistance or veterans who reply on the government for physical therapy and emotional counseling.
They can't get any of that now.
Well, they're not at their duty desk.
They're not at their duty stations.
They're not at their duty stations, Jim.
The thing of it is, is I need my paycheck.
That's the bottom line.
I want to buy things.
I need my material girl.
I want to give you guys an example of what a narcissist sounds like who's unaware.
I have a personality.
I'm narcissistic to the point where it's a personality disorder.
It's not just like an annoying personality tick.
This is the override.
For her to be a public person, a representative, and to not know how this sounds.
The thing of it is, is I need my paycheck.
That's the bottom line.
And I understand that maybe there are some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that's admirable.
I'm not in that position.
I'm not admirable.
Yeah.
See, I'm not admirable.
I'm not a good person.
That's admirable.
I'm not admirable.
I'm Renee Lee.
I love money.
Yeah, so you're right, Jim, if they were paying...
That's the whole thing, right?
And other people would say, no, we just have to open dialogue with them so we can understand them better.
I don't need to understand dumb people who vote against their own interests.
I understand them.
They're dumb.
And they vote against their own interests, and they're easily manipulated, and they're weak-minded, and they're usually overly religious, which teaches all those things.
And this is exactly the kind of explanations that evangelicals, stars give.
Robert Tilden, what are you doing with all that money?
Why do you need more money?
Well, you know, these prayer cloths cost a lot.
What are you doing for people?
What do you mean, what am I doing for people?
I'm giving them, anointing them with this worthless water that I send in bottles out there.
Get your prayer towel.
Can you sign in for $15?
I'll give you a prayer towel.
Why can't you use some of those millions, Mr. Tilton, to help the poor or something?
Well, you know, I have expenses.
Hi, Governor Perry.
Thanks for taking time out for us today.
I appreciate it.
I'm confused.
No, it's okay.
Don't be confused.
Listen, you were talking about the Obamacare.
I mean, like, always.
I know.
It's okay.
I'm going to help you.
I'm going to explain this to you.
So, Governor Perry, you were given a speech in New Jersey, of all places, a couple days ago.
Oh, no, I've never been there.
No, no, you've been there.
And I mean before.
Yeah.
So you said this about Obamacare.
You said it is this health care law.
If this health care law is forced upon this country, the young men and women in this audience are the ones who are really going to pay the price.
And that, I will suggest to you, reaches to the point of being a felony toward them and their future.
No, I just want to ask you, how is giving them health insurance a felony?
Because now three.
It's a felony.
It's a horrible Chris like the worst crime.
I don't know if you know a lot about the law.
Yeah, I guess.
I don't.
There's like misdemeanors.
Yes.
Those are like little things like pee and where you shouldn't.
And then felonies.
They're way serious crimes.
Yeah.
So how.
And this is what this is that Obamacare is a crime against the law.
Yeah, I see it.
But how, for instance, how is there's over 3 million kids who are now able to stay on their parents insurance until they're 25 because i know can you believe that horrible crime no that doesn't sound like a crime it's the worst thing the government has ever done it's not to say that it i think you might be being a little over the top what i'm crying think about
all these young people.
What about them?
Being forced to be covered, have insurance.
Yeah, how is...
I mean, this is...
It would be the only...
This is as bad as if the government went to every young man and woman in the country and set off a nuclear bomb inside their mouth.
I think you're being a little...
It may be even worse than that.
I think you might be being a little...
And I'm not exaggerating.
I think you might be being a little over the top.
Listen, 30...
I'm being reserved about it.
Yeah, I don't think so.
So now...
Yep.
What about kids who have pre-existing conditions?
Is that also...
You see that as some kind of a crime to offer?
It breaks my heart thinking about that.
That they're going to offer kids with pre-existing conditions coverage now?
Yes.
That breaks your heart?
Because it ruins the American future for...
What would you rather have...
If you were a little kid, what would you rather have to be covered by insurance in a country that's going to be burning?
Or, you know, not get insurance and not get cured, but knowing that the American dream will survive for future generations?
I would probably...
Because Obamacare has been reversed.
I don't think you know what the word felony means or what a criminal act is.
That's my guess.
Oh, I know that stuff.
Yeah.
Because offering someone health insurance and then...
Vocabulary was one of my strengths as governor.
Yeah.
I don't think that that's a crime to people.
But I guess we'll...
That law is a crime.
Yeah.
I guess we'll have to...
What about the 30 million people who are going to have insurance now overall?
Oh, please stop.
Stop listing these horrible things.
I'm having problems keeping it together.
That's like a capital crime.
That's...
This law might have to be executed.
Okay, Governor.
You don't...
We're going to have to send this law on down to Huntsville.
Yeah, I know.
And put them in the old shocky chair.
Yeah.
I just don't understand how things...
You know, you don't understand the difference between a metaphor and reality and the way people talk about things.
A metaphor is like an anagram, right?
No, you don't understand.
Listen, Governor Perry, I appreciate you taking time out to talk to us and try to clear up what you said.
Time out from what?
I don't do shit.
I don't do shit.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I'm here with Steve Skrovan, hilarious comedian, writer from Everybody Loves Raymond.
He's also the director of The Unreasonable Man, which was a documentary about Ralph Nader, which I saw and loved.
Thank you.
That was a great project.
Thanks for doing that.
And he's also a board member of Public Citizen, which is not Citizens United, which I often mistake those words.
It's kind of the opposite of Citizens United.
Yes, it is the opposite.
Tell people what Public Citizen is, Steve.
Public Citizen is the consumer advocacy group, legendary, over 40 years old, that was founded by Ralph Nader.
He's no longer affiliated with it, but their work continues, and they basically are the main bulwark against corporate power in our country and kind of defending democracy over a wide range of issues, whether it's watchdogging Congress, whether it's watchdogging health issues, getting drugs off the market, dangerous drugs off the market, leaving the good ones.
We like to leave the good ones.
We like the good ones.
The good ones, yes.
So Public Citizen is a big deal.
They do a lot of good work on behalf of citizens, not corporations.
Exactly.
We don't take any corporate funding, and we're having a benefit out here in L.A. called Stand Up for Main Street, which you've been involved with from the beginning.
Now, if any of you have been there the last couple of years, it's a great show, and it's in a great venue.
What's the venue this year?
Same venue as last year.
It's the WGA Theater on 135 North Doheny or South Doheny.
One of those Dohenys.
It's right there, Wilshire and Doheny.
You can't miss it.
Wilshire and Doheny.
People know where that is.
Yes.
That's got to be south.
I think it's south, yes.
It's got to be south Doheny.
It is south, yeah.

Thank you, buddy.
All right.
Bye-bye.
So we on the phone, we have Pope Francis Berloni Lomli, and he excommunicated a priest recently who was advocating for the gays to be accepted and for women to be in the clergy.
And you excommunicated that person, Pope.
Is that true?
I love the way it's a communicate.
I don't understand how excommunication works.
That seems like the opposite of what Jesus came here to tell people.
Didn't Jesus Christianity that you can always be forgiven?
Isn't that the whole if you're not able to go through the Catholic Church?
What does that even mean?
Excommunicating.
Like we're not, Jesus doesn't want to talk to you because he's so mad at you.
Is that what excommunication means?
It means that you are no longer able to access the sacraments of the Catholic Church.
Oh, that's what it means.
So what are they going to do?
Which is not a good news for your eternal soul.
So do they have a security guards with a list and pictures of people's faces to see if you're coming in to take part in a sacrament?
If you sneak in and take a sacrament without anyone knowing that it doesn't count.
You see?
Oh, is that what?
So you and God have worked it out that it doesn't count.
Yes.
It doesn't count.
That's so crazy.
But for example, it's the same as if you have not been baptized in the Roman Catholic Church and it starts showing up and taking sacraments.
Yeah.
Those sacraments do not count to your salvation because you're not even properly a member of the body of the church.
is not copacalicade.
