Hello, everybody.
Welcome to this week's premium content.
We got phone calls from Chris Christie.
We got more stuff on the gay hates and their lack of consistent logic.
The gay hates in Arizona.
That's what we're talking about.
Plus, we got a lot more.
Let's get right to it, shall we?
Oh, you know what?
Before we do, by the way, if anyone wants to be a member of the live studio audience for a Jimmy Door show, or we might be doing other kind of live events with a live audience in Los Angeles.

That's the Jimmy Door Comedy Hotline.
Call us up.
Leave your name in your email.
We'll send you the information on how you can be in the audience of the live taping for the Jimmy Dore show.
If that interests you.
Okay, if it doesn't, ignore this.
Now let's get on to the rest of the premium.
All right.
Okay, so we're talking about the Arizona, it's okay to hate gays bill and discriminate against them.
And, you know, the big deal people are making about is that there were three senators in Arizona who supported the bill.
In fact, it was Bob Worsley, Adam Driggs, and Steve Pierce.
They supported the bill, yet they then, after they voted for the bill and supported it, they then sent a letter to the Governor Jen Brewer asking her to veto the bill that they just supported.
Isn't that where did they?
They were confused.
So yeah, they were confused.
Yes, they were confused, Steve.
So here is, so here is Steve Pierce, Senator Steve Pierce from Arizona, and he's going to explain what happened.
And so we made a mistake, and that's about all I can tell you is we went the wrong way.
I have to say, I admire you saying that.
It's extremely rare in politics that elected leaders utter those words, even though they make mistakes all the time.
Yes, and why do you think he's uttering those words right now, Chris Hayes?
Now, I love Chris Hayes, but you totally missed.
The reason why he's saying he made a mistake was because he got caught making this mistake.
Do you understand?
Do you understand that he was pandering to the worst elements of Arizona?
And then his donors got on his ass about it, his donor class, like the guys who want to see the Super Bowl and the guys who want to have conventions in Phoenix.
Those guys got on his ass.
And that's why he's saying, the guy just supported the bill twice, by the way.
They passed the same goddamn bill last year.
Did you know that?
And Jan Brewer vetoed it then.
They repass it again.
Well, this guy's just totally bullshitting about everything.
Here they ask him about, so that's why I'm saying no congratulations to that guy.
No congratulations.
Why would you, so it doesn't dawn on Chris Hayes, like, wait a minute, why would he be?
Why would this be the one time a politician is admitting his mistake?
I wonder why he would be doing that.
Why do you fucking think he's doing that?
Okay, so here he is to try to more explain why he did that.
When I voted on it, I did not look towards any kind of discrimination at all.
I didn't see that in there.
Yeah, he didn't see any discrimination in the bill that made it okay to discriminate against gays.
I didn't see it.
I didn't see it.
That guy went to Niagara Falls.
He didn't see any water.
Didn't see it.
He's just bullshitting.
Wow.
He's completely lying.
He goes on.
It gets even worse.
Play the next one.
And, you know, we were not sold on the bill in the very start.
Back three weeks ago, I went to different groups trying to get some support and say, I'm concerned about this.
What do you want to do?
Nobody really would say anything until we finally voted for it.
And then all hell broke loose.
And it's terrible.
And you can see what's been going on.
What is he talking about?
He just said, wait.
But they voted for it last year.
They had a whole year to read.
They had a whole year to realize the ramifications.
He goes, he goes, you know, I went around to all these groups and tried to get support for it.
And nobody would say anything.
There was testimony.
There were people speaking out about this, telling him exactly what the effects of this bill were going to be on the floor of the Arizona State Senate.
And he's coming out for their note.
I didn't.
Who knew?
Who knew?
Debates.
They must have gone back and forth.
All the points of view were aired at the time.
And if you didn't support it at the very, then why did you fucking vote for it if you didn't support it at the first anyway?
And you were blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
He's full of it.
He keeps going.
There's one more.
As the days went on after we voted, it was from constituents and the public and the outcry from it.
And, you know, I've been listening to this all day about the discrimination.
And there is none in my view.
And I don't, if there is, I'm totally against it.
So he's saying that there's no discrimination.
He's still saying to his mind, there's no discrimination in the bill.
Yet, he wants Jen Brewer to veto the thing he just supported two years in a row.
But there's no discrimination in it.
And I made a mistake, but she should veto it.
But there's nothing wrong with it.
But at the end of the day, there's discrimination, though they're wrong.
There isn't.
But people think there is.
So that's why he changed his mind.
Yeah, so the reason why I bring that up is because he's getting credit from everybody, even people like Chris Hayes saying, hey, congratulations for admitting you made a mistake.
And that's not what he's doing.
He's just covering his ass.
That's all.
He's not admitting a mistake.
He doesn't think it was a mistake.
The only mistake was that he crossed his donors.
That's the only mistake he made.
But is it the point that he asked for it to be vetoed?
Because in essence, it didn't discriminate.
Ultimately.
No, no, he, I don't, he's, he, well, my point is.
Please pass it.
That's not what he's saying.
I know that, but ultimately, that's really what he's saying.
It's not discriminatory enough.
He is admitting he made a mistake, but he's not taking responsibility.
He's not admitting what the mistake was.
He's saying, like, and that's what he's getting points from the right, from the left, for getting on the appropriate side of this issue.
After.
And sort of admitting that his vote was a mistake.
But he is not...
They shouldn't be because they're not giving him...
Right.
For the vote he made in the first place, for his responsibilities to read bills before he votes on them, to understand them before he votes on them.
He's not taking responsibility for anything.
In matter of fact, that's one of the most mushmouth things I've ever heard.
I couldn't understand what you're saying.
Me neither.
It was like, you know, I watched this interview with Chris Hayes.
Chris Hayes had him on for, I don't know, seven or eight minutes, and he kept just re-asking questions like, so what did you think the bill did?
And then he would just talk mushmouth like that.
So I don't know what I went around to get somebody.
I went.
You know, I didn't really feel good about it, but nobody said anything.
So I just, ah, fuck it, I voted.
And he's like, I wasn't sold on the bill at first.
I wasn't sold on the bill at first anyway.
Well, then why didn't you fuck a vote for it?
Two years in a row.
Why did you go around looking for support for it?
So that's why I brought that up.
I think he's playing both sides.
Oh, you think he is?
Yes.
Exactly.
So that's why I brought that up because these guys who asked the governor to veto it are getting way too much credit from the press, all sides of the press for doing that.
And what they really did was just cover their ass.
Now, I'm definitely not a libertarian, except when it comes to pot and hookers.
Crimes in which only the only victims are anxiety and my boner.
Come on, who's with me, people?
Other than that, I'm definitely not a deregulate everything kind of guy.
That being said, if you're ever hanging out with someone and they for real say there ought to be a law, well, that person is a grade A fucking moron.
Because it was precisely that sort of reactionary thinking that led to the Arizona permission to be a douchebag law that Jen Brewer vetoed this week.
See, there has been exactly one serious case concerning this matter.
A wedding photographer who refused to photograph a lesbian commitment ceremony.
Now, let's be clear, these photographers are either a right-wing plant or total assholes because FYI, all they had to do was say, hey, we're busy or we don't want the job.
But clearly, what they said was, hey, lesbians, your love is wrong and ugly.
It was a dick move, and they got what they deserved, which was a court decision of discrimination, which was upheld by the New Mexico Supreme Court.
The right, either waiting for something like this or reacting to it like jackals, not only introduced legislation into Arizona's legislature, but at least nine other states as well.
One incident, one incident, and we get 10 pieces of legislation.
There ought to be a law?
No, there ought not be a law.
Laws are supposed to be reserved for actual widespread issues that can't be easily resolved by, say, a photographer getting on the phone and saying, hey, sorry I was such a dick to you.
Good luck with your scissoring or whatever it is you people do.
Meanwhile, across the country, North Carolina has a situation where not only there ought to be a law, there actually are several laws which were bent and manipulated, resulting in one of the worst domestic environmental disasters in history.
Highly toxic ponds of coal ash have been leaking into groundwater for years in North Carolina, which is flat out illegal, but unprofitable to amend.
Oh, and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources for certain knew about these coal ash leaks.
Citizen Environmental Group sued Duke Energy on at least two different occasions, but the DENR interfered and slow walked the process.
Well, wouldn't you know it?
On February 2nd, a coal ash pond broke and spilled about 35,000 tons of coal ash into the Dan River.
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory was employed by Duke Energy for 28 years.
The secretary who Pat McCrory appointed to head the DENR, John Scavaria, is, among other things, an advocate for the completely discredited belief that fossil fuels are infinite.
Both McCrory and Scavara were and are both heavy advocates for there ought to be a law if it gets in the way of making money, but seriously, fuck the queers.
My point here is this.
The Republican legislative agenda could not be a more irrational state of total bullshit if it tried.
And I shouldn't have to say this for it to be obvious to fucking everyone.
Hello, is this Governor Chris Christie?
Sure, who's this?
It's Jimmy.
About time you called.
The county clerk of Hoboken, his passport needs a new stamp in it.
What?
Our pigeon has cancer at a navel.
He needs a new cage.
What are you talking about?
Jack and Jill go up a hill.
Only one comes down.
You get me?
Governor, I don't understand a word of what you're saying.
Wait, Jimmy, are you calling from a secure line?
No, I'm calling from a recording studio.
I don't know nothing.
You're on the air right now.
Wait, is this Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kibble and Bits?
This is Jimmy Doar of the Jimmy Door show.
All right.
I foggy with the Mamsie-Pamsy level soul.
Who did you think this was?
I thought you were some other Jimmy.
A Jimmy that does business I need doing.
Well, I wanted to ask some questions about your business.
Never ask me about my business, Jimmy, though.
But I just wanted to...
But, Governor, enough.
Okay.
That's just what time you can ask me.
I'm still curious about your friend David Wildstein.
I don't know nothing.
Well, you created a job for him with no official responsibilities, but he didn't have to submit a resume.
He didn't have any competition for the position.
Look, Copper, I don't say nothing until I talk to my lawyer.
And you gave him a salary of over $150,000 a year.
Jimmy, did you know that I'm not just Sicilian?
I'm also part-Irish.
Which accounts for my discipline, managerial skills, and my total lack of self-destructive tendencies.
Why are you telling me this?
I asked you about David Wildstein.
Like I said, I'm partly Irish.
To get anything done, I need some Jews around me.
Oh, okay.
Uh-huh.
You understand me, don't you, Jimmy Doll?
Well, I also need smart Japanese.
Lension door.
I don't care what you ask me.
I ain't stepping down for being a big boss, and you could go fuck yourself.
All right, Governor, calm down.
I was just asking some questions.
I know, I gotta set it down.
It's amazing how thin-skinned I am, considering how much skin I have.
Governor Christie, with all the new evidence coming to light, I think there's a real possibility that you might face some jail time.
That resident jail big enough to hold me.
All right, you might be right about that.
I gotta scram.
I need to supervise a stock side study, another sidewalk study.
What do you really mean?
After that, I'm doing a pasta prima era study and then a glazed donut study and a pistachio cannoli study.
Line of studies.
And a saltwater taffy study and a smoke duck algrotten study.
And after that, a roasted habk study.
Okay, he's got a lot of studying to do.
Thank you for talking with us, the soon-to-be indicted governor, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
Go study Amara.
Okay, I hope you enjoyed the premium content this week.
Thanks again for your patience.
I know it dropped a day late.
Things have technical things.
When they go wrong, I don't know what to do about them.
I have to always ask someone to help me.
Anyway, we've had a lot of, but we've switched studios to a new studio now, which is why the audio seems not as right as it should be.
But it's going, it's getting better every week.
And we're going to be changing the microphone.
So I'm getting, I'm buying new microphones.
We're taping the show inside of a TV studio now.
So it's not set up for audio like the radio station was.
Anyway, I don't know if this is interesting to anyone except me.
So I'll stop telling you about it.
But just to let you know that the audio will continue to improve.
And we're doing our very best.
And we appreciate your patience.
And thanks for listening to the show.
And also, big thanks for being a premium donator.
That is the way we support the show here.
You know, we get a couple of pennies from Amazon.
We get a couple of pennies from the Pro Flowers and the Sherry's Berries.
But the main support for the show is you people, the people who want more show.
It's the premium donors.
So big thanks from the bottom of our hearts.
And the app is here next week.
Isn't that exciting?
And we'll let you know how to get it on the podcast.
And woof, thank God.
Okay.
All right.
