Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show!
Hey.
*phone rings*
Jimmy, Barry Obama.
Now, let me be clear.
I did not break the goddamn Veterans Administration.
Neither did General Weird Ethnic Name Guy either.
You crackers screwed the pooch on day one, okay?
Headline, 1818.
America passes the Veterans Pension Act.
No shit, 35 years after the end of the revolution, at a time when the average life expectancy was below fucking 40.
Boy, you white folks were really on top of that one.
You want to know more about how that vote went down?
You should ask McCain because he was there.
Then you people had a civil war, because half of you couldn't figure out that owning another human being might just be wrong a little bit.
Supposedly, we won that war.
But just for the record, what do we win?
Oh, boy.
We get to keep our population of ignorant racist jackasses.
My home.
Whatever would we do without them?
Guess what?
Those veterans didn't have a tiptoe through the tulips either, man.
They had a backlog of medical treatment.
And do you know what medicine was at that time?
Amputation and prayer, man.
My point is, we've been fucking these guys since the beginning.
Yeah.
And you really think this Congress is going to give the VA more money?
These people are so tight-fested, you'd swear they were keeping every penny in Lindsey Graham's asshole.
Oh, man, I can't believe you guys at the VA are fucking up with the no money we gave you.
You know what will fix all of this?
Socialize goddamn medicine.
Oh, yeah, the war crazies going in your head.
Why don't you go to the doctor like everybody else gets to?
Wouldn't that be nice?
Not having to fill out 75 forms just to get your wound trained and a couple of fucking Advil.
Makes the drone program look pretty good, huh?
Ain't no homeless drones trying to wash your windshield, are there?
Oh, that would be crazy, man.
Like a drone with a face at a cardboard sign saying, we'll work for food.
Man, I've got to send that shit into the New Yorker.
They love that stuff.
All right.
I just got myself into a better mood right there, Jimmy.
Smell you later.
Peace.
Peace.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say.
It's hard to talk to you, T-Galgie.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's show.
I'm joined from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
He's all the way in New York City.
It's TV's Frank, Frank Connoff.
Hey, Frank, how are you, buddy?
Hello there.
Yay.
And across the glass from me, the hosts of Comedy Everything Else are Resident Latina.
It's Steph Zamarado.
Hey, Steph, what's happening?
Ola, Jimmy.
All right, across from her, hilarious comedian from Team Yasamura.
It's Robert Yasamura.
Hey, Robert.
Hola, Jimmy.
All right.
That's a Japanese man single.
I like it.
How do you say hello in Japanese?
Ohio.
Ohio, that's right.
I always forget that.
Ohio.
All right.
And let's get to some of the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Gonna be heavy on Benghazi jokes this week because Republicans just said Benghazi for the 10,000th time, which means they get a free one.
Isn't that nice?
And, you know, some Republicans, Robert, are so upset about Benghazi that they're losing their erections in public restroom glory holes.
That's a good one, huh, Frank?
Yeah.
Yes.
Dido T partiers are criticizing Chelsea Clinton because she refuses to even consider naming her soon-to-be-born baby, Benghazi.
This is all true things.
These are all true.
And Republicans want to know why Obama refused to focus on Benghazi.
Instead, he focused on trivial crap like capturing Osama bin Laden.
Obama recently got he, you know, Obama, see if you can follow this joke.
Obama recently got a memo that said, quote, Republicans determined to care more about Benghazi than they ever cared about bin Laden being determined to attack inside the United States.
I think if you listen to this show, I think you get that joke.
Okay, and by the way, GOP leaders say that Obama, that to Obama, the White House is a foreign embassy since he wasn't born in the United States.
You know what I'm saying?
That's right.
And millions of America needs jobs.
They need health care.
They need affordable housing.
But the main thing that they should be concerned about is the fact that Susan Rice used the wrong talking points on Meet the Press two years ago.
Do you know that Batman and Superman, Batman versus Superman, that movie came out?
It's called Dawn of Justice.
You know what it originally titled?
Robert is originally titled, Shut Up and Give Us Your Money, fanboys.
And I hate to say this, but because of Pat Zajak's, oh, did you hear about Pat Zajak's awful remarks?
No.
I'm dying to hear the remarks.
So Pat Zajak tweeted, everybody who believes in global warming is a racist, right?
Isn't that what he said, Frank?
Or am I paraphrasing?
Yeah, basically, that's what he said.
Yeah, and so I hate to say this, but because of Pat Zajak's awful remarks, I'm no longer looking to game show hosts for moral guidance.
This is a true story.
Hey, by the way, this Tuesday night, this past Tuesday night, we had the big primary all over the country, and GOP primary voters had a tough choice, right?
They had to choose between horrible candidates and really fucking horrible candidates.
Guess who they chose?
The horrible candidates.
So what do we got coming up on today's show?
Elizabeth Hasselbeck, shortest interview ever when the cast says something she doesn't want to hear, plus gay football players kissing on TV.
You got to be a two-way street on that one.
We'll find out what I'm talking about.
And then we're also going to talk about global warming, climate change.
They're skeptical about it over on Fox News Sunday.
We check in with two of the right wing's biggest intellectuals, Charles Kraheimer and George Will.
Plus, oh, we got phone calls from Barack Obama.
We got a phone call from John Boehner.
We had another phone call from Barack Obama.
Plus the most world's most offended listener calls in, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
Benghazi.
The fragrance so captivating, they'll never want to let you go.
Benghazi, mysterious, preoccupying, infatuating.
Benghazi.
Watch them go from grasping for straws to grasping for you with a new scent that will drive right-wingers to distraction.
Benghazi.
Tonight, make something out of nothing and let that special someone finally get to the bottom of you with Benghazi.
*laughter* *laughter* *laughter*
Brad, once again, I have reason to repeat this basic truth.
You always have the option of saying nothing.
Just keep that in mind.
You don't ever, you always could say nothing.
All right.
And what am I talking about?
Well, a little while back, it came to light that there was a defensive lineman who played for the University of Missouri named Michael Sam.
What's the big deal?
Well, he was openly gay.
And, you know, because in this day and age, gay men also have the right to get debilitating brain trauma for high pay.
And so this was news because he was eligible for the NFL draft and he was the first outwardly gay guy to do this.
And so it was a big deal.
And by the way, for me, Whipty Frickin' Do, right?
As far as I'm concerned.
Anywho, he got drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals or Rams, sorry.
St. Louis Rams.
And upon hearing the news, he kissed his longtime boyfriend.
Now, here it is right here.
I'll show it to you.
So there you go.
He's all happy.
Oh, look out.
The Espys and the Arthur Ash, the Arthur Ash Courage Award that he's receiving at the Espies.
We'll smashing him the cake in the face.
It's just, it's a good time all the way around.
So the ESPN guy didn't seem to have a problem with it, right?
He goes, oh, looks a good time all the way around.
I'm sure he saw behind the candelabra, right?
Like I did, which got me used to this kind of thing.
So I've seen many Lindsey Graham press conferences.
Yes, I've seen, sure.
So, ha.
So now, this didn't go over well with some Neanderthals in football because it turns out professional sports doesn't necessarily attract the most forward-thinking people in the world.
Go figure, a bunch of jocks might be a little Neanderthal about this.
In fact, the Miami Dolphins safety, Don Jones tweeted, Oh my God, and horrible in reference to that kiss that we just saw.
Old Miss Shooting Guard, a guy who plays basketball, tweeted some even more stupid stuff.
And the Fox News just had a field day trying to find out, trying to find backhanded, indirect ways to say, keep it to yourself, homo.
All right.
And well, to be fair, a lot of people didn't say anything like me, which is what you're supposed to do.
Because guess what?
Even if you're a bigot, you could still have the common decency to keep that bigotry inside, right?
Which is nice, which is nice.
And most people honestly either approved or didn't give an F about it at all, right?
But here is, there was a sports reporter for the New York Times when on the last word with Lawrence O'Donnell, who was being Ari Melbury was sitting in for him.
By the way, Melbourne, Ari, so the sports reporter for the New York.
Now, listen to, so he had a problem with this.
The sports reporter for the New York Times.
Black guy, New York Times, you think he would, I don't know, maybe have a historical perspective on how people have treated the marginalized in our society, how people used to feel about when, you know, when blacks started to intermarry with whites and did that.
So you might think that he would be sensitive to this.
Not so.
So watch this guy who he had a problem with it.
New York Times sports reporter had a problem with the gay guy kissing in 2014.
That innocent little kiss.
It wasn't like he was fisting him for F's sake.
Right, right.
He gave him a nice little kiss.
He rubbed some cake in his face.
It couldn't be more innocuous.
I've seen more kissing between guys on Saturday Night Live.
You know what I mean?
And also, if he started fisting him, it would actually be less gay than a lot of the things you see football players.
Yes, yes.
So here, so let's go.
Here's our first clip.
And what is this guy's name?
I'm going to find out this guy's name while we play the clip.
But let's listen to what's listen to how hard it is for him to say why he's bothered by this without sounding like what he is, right?
Being an ignorant, narrow-minded bigot.
I mean, that's a tough word to throw around.
But let's listen to what he has to say.
Here we go.
Yeah, it was a lot of kissing, no question.
I was in Radio City music hall when it happened.
And it was a stunning moment because, again, he had his big linebacker, you know, and his boyfriend kissing.
And I think it caught everybody off guard.
Now, people are like, well, what happened?
I'm not a big fan of that, even when it's like, you know, the guy and his fiancé.
I'm like, you know, okay, enough is enough.
Okay, I'm not sure.
Sure.
Sure.
You know how people go nuts when a guy kisses his wife on TV.
Remember when John Elway kissed his wife and Jim McMahon and somebody else from 30 years ago?
Remember all those people when they kissed him?
Guys always go nuts when they.
You imagine this guy at a wedding and like the cake moment happens.
He just indignantly stands up.
He's like, I don't need to see that.
Yeah.
How about how about get a room, ladies and gentlemen?
I'm sure it also bothers him when the cheerleaders are going around chicken their boobs and everything.
It's like, enough of this.
What is this?
A strip club?
I'm here for the sport and I don't want to see any kind of public displays of affection.
Go ahead, Frank.
When football players kiss their spouses, it might imply that there's fidelity happening.
You don't want that to ruin the image of sports people that we all have.
I just, no one, there's one time in the history of television did people remark about being uncomfortable with a guy kissing a woman.
And that was the 2000 Democratic Convention when Al Gore made a point to kiss Tipper Gore way too long because Bill Clinton had been caught getting a BJ from an intern.
That was the, that was, I'm going to show everybody that I'm having sex with my wife kiss, right?
And Turkey.
Al Gore, if you remember, he kissed her so much that Chipper actually ended up with a stain on her track.
And by the way, the Gores divorced Bill and Hillary still together.
So this guy's got more to say.
So this guy's got more to say.
I'm going to find out what this guy's name is.
I think it's Rowan.
Rodin.
It's William Rodin.
This is a barrier that's been broken.
We have to deal with it.
One thing I would say is this, however, that first of all, you just already said stuff.
By the way, this isn't the one thing.
You already said something stupid that even when a guy kisses a girl, I'm like, eh, what's wrong with you that you have a problem with people in committed relationships having public displays of affection?
Also, you have a problem with them kissing each other at the greatest moment of their life.
Yes.
The most natural response possible.
When they're with their spouse and they hear incredible news that it's going to change their life and you have a problem with them being excited about it and showing affection with their partner.
You know what?
I might be alone here, but I think they just should have high-fived.
Okay, he's got more to say.
By the way, he says, and, you know, this is out there now and we have to deal with it.
Yeah.
And I'm like, it's no, what you have to deal with is whatever is going on in your head.
You need to fix what's going on in your head.
They are not the problem.
Yes.
You know?
Exactly.
He's like, well, we got to deal with this crazy situation.
Also, you know, a few years ago, the New York Times made a big splash in a good way in that in their Sunday style section, in their wedding announcements, they started listing gay weddings.
Really?
Yes, they did that, and it was a great thing.
Although I just noticed the other day that I noticed in the listings, it says they are married but not kissing.
By the way, to be fair, the New York Times sports section is really shitty.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, is it?
I've never read it.
I've never read it.
I'm not a sports guy, but I know like people who are serious about sports.
They never like they'd read it, but it's always like who reads the paper anymore anyway.
All right, here we go.
Here we go.
When you are the first.
Okay, when you are the first, it can't be just a one-way street.
I mean, you have to expect to get pushback.
And there's going to be pushback.
And what you got to expect, like he's saying it, like, yeah, there's going to be pushback.
Yeah, from ignorant people who are uncomfortable with public displays of affection between same-sex people.
Now, you could be on.
Go ahead, Frank.
The article he wrote about it was titled Baby Got Pushback.
So he said, you got to expect pushback, meaning he's trying to say, so I'm excusing all the negative stuff that people have said to this guy and all the discrimination that people are hurling on him because you have to expect it.
So he seems to be saying that, but then he won't say it.
Because when you ask him, is that what you're saying?
He'll go, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Watch.
Let's keep going.
What kind of pushback do you have to say?
What we saw on Twitter.
Now, that was ignorant pushback.
Wow, that was ignorant pushback.
Okay, what other kind of pushback is there?
Where is the enlightened pushback?
Is there some kind of intellectual forward-thinking pushback that happened against the same-sex couple?
The intellectual homophobes are not on Twitter.
Yeah, yes, yeah.
They're on Facebook, right?
Where do they go?
Maybe they're on Reddit.
All right, here we go.
They're actually on all over your Facebook.
Gilbert, he said, did you get it?
They're out all over your Facebook.
Come on.
All right, here we go.
But I think we have the same problem about racism in this country.
And it's interesting that as we speak now, we have two dynamic things going on.
In the NBA, they're dealing with racism.
The NFL is now dealing with sexuality.
And I think that to deal with things openly, there has to be an open back-and-forward dialogue.
Tolerance can't just work one way.
It can't just be one way that anybody who speaks out.
Now, I think you can speak out of certain, if you speak out of ignorance, you can say that.
But I think that people, this cannot turn into like a Gestapo-type situation where if you express a discomfort with something, then you're cast as a homophobe and you're fined by the league.
I think that there has to be a...
I just want to say the first thing.
So, you know, if you express discomfort with same-sex couples expressing in pretty innocuous display of affection in the height of the greatest moment of their life, that you have to expect that that's okay, right?
That's what he's saying, right?
Is this what he's saying?
He thinks that they're...
It's one of my things that infuriates me.
Like, well, there's a discussion going on, which is one of the most BS things that ever happens.
And what he's claiming is that there's a discussion going on between people who have no intellectual position whatsoever.
They just have a gut-visceral bigotry.
And he thinks that that is a position enough to engage in a dialogue.
No, it's not.
I know.
He is talking out his ass.
Yeah.
Well, here's what he's doing, right?
He says there has to be a two-way street, right?
So, yeah, the one way on the street goes like this.
Hi, I'm gay, and I'd like the same rights as everybody else, including sharing celebrations with my lover in public, like everyone else has done forever.
So there's that one way.
And then the other way, this is the way he's talking about that you have to, and that the other side goes, yeah, gays creep me out.
So please change your behavior around me.
And please don't afford yourself the same privileges of affection in public that I allow myself.
That's the other way, right?
So there's the one way saying I want to be treated equally.
And there's the other way saying, you creep me out.
Please shame yourself and keep it inside.
That's what that's the, what two-way street.
And he's saying, well, it can't be ignorant.
What other kind of street is there going against gay people being treated exactly the same way everybody else is treated?
What other way is there?
Well, let's see.
Here he is.
He's going to try and explain it.
And it's funny to watch this guy trip all over himself.
And there is Ari Melber and Jonathan, whatever that other guy's name is, who I can never remember, but trying to push back without calling the guy a moron, right?
And you see this happening, but they want to go, you're just being bigoted moron.
Like, old man, don't you get it?
What's that?
He just said something that just struck me as so ridiculous is he said tolerance isn't a one-way street.
What?
Yes, it is.
Yes.
So yes, that's exactly who did that was Tucker Carlson.
Tucko Carl.
Yeah, the Klan should.
That's actually a big Republican talking point lately of those laws that they've had to pass in Arizona.
Like, you have to be tolerant to religious people who are intolerant.
You're hurting their freedom to take rights away from other people, and you're being bigoted by going against the bigots.
I mean, that's the common argument now.
That is their comment, which is, you could say the same thing against the Klan.
Hey, why don't you have a little tolerance towards the Klan, like Robert just said?
It's like, yeah, the Klan should get their say people crossburning.
They're just expressing themselves.
I mean, so imagine if instead of a gay person, this was a black guy kissing a white woman, which would have been just as controversial 20 to 30 years ago as this is now.
Sure.
Right?
Kissing a white guy.
I mean, they wouldn't even have blacks in the league up until a couple of, right, 40, 50 years ago.
Well, because there was a little bit of pushback, and you have to expect that.
You have to expect a little pushback.
So he goes on to try to explain.
I understand.
And by the way, I understand like the first time you see two grown men, especially macho-looking men, kissing each other and do that.
It's like, oh, it might make you feel a little awkward inside because it's different.
It might even be jarring a little bit.
It's instinctively, like, and this has been studied.
Like, if your heterosexual has never been exposed to that, it's instinctively upsetting.
You know, and that's fine, but don't put an intellectual patina of righteousness around it.
Like, if you're uncomfortable, you can say, I'm not.
I mean, but don't think you're right.
But a lot of white people had the same reaction when they would see a black guy kiss a white woman.
They were like, oh, that is heaven.
First time I ever saw two guys kissing.
I'll admit it was very disturbing.
And I was so disturbed, I actually asked the other guy Whitney to stop collating me.
That's how disturbed I was.
So here he goes, tries to make some more bad points about why it's okay that.
Here we go.
Saying is he's supposed to be silent, that he's supposed to stand silently by and let people know.
This is what I said.
No, I didn't say that.
I didn't say that.
I said that you have to let the other people say a bunch of horrible, bigoted stuff towards him.
And then, and that, I don't know what I'm trying to say.
I'm just talking now.
He's just talking.
He's just saying, he's not.
He doesn't know what he's trying to say.
He's just saying it's not fair to call a bigot a bigot.
Yes, that's what he's saying.
Bigotry has to be a two-way street.
It has to be a national back-and-forward discourse.
It can't just be.
What is this discourse he's looking for?
People who are creeped out by gay people and people who are gay.
This is the discourse he wants there.
And none of these guys will call.
They're doing it in such a nice way.
Hey, pretend that he's doing exactly what he's doing.
He obviously is a new invitee to MSNBC, so we can hear him on all the other shows, too.
So they start respecting each other.
Yes.
Because they're going to be playing ball together, I guess.
Here we go.
A one-way thing that if anybody expresses discomfort, then they're cast as a home call.
Bill, let me let me ask you.
Yes, the definition of a homophobe would be someone who has an instinctual fear of what's happening in front of them is a homophobe.
Is a homophobe.
And matter of fact, it's the most accurate way of describing them.
Yes.
That's not the thought police, you goddamn moron.
Yes, exactly.
That is the actual.
That's like Webster's coming out and saying, this is what you just did.
Yes.
By the definition of what you did.
Yeah.
So here he's going to try one more.
You're going to bring in Jackie Robinson into this discussion.
There we go.
Your question, and I think it was an important question, is does he have to take it?
All I'm saying is that when you are a pioneer, whether you're Jackie Robinson, when you're a pioneer, there's a certain responsibility that's going to come with being a pioneer.
There's a certain weight that you've got to carry.
Right.
He's not saying anything right now.
He's just making, he's saying, so if you're a pioneer, there's a weight that, yeah, no one's claiming.
But that's why you never saw David Crockett kiss another guy.
Because he was a pioneer.
But what so he's so he's now trying to conflate two different things.
People being uncomfortable with a gay guy kissing another guy.
He's conflating that with, hey, if you're going to do this, there's going to be a bunch of jerks out there and ignoramuses are going to come at you.
You have to expect that.
Expecting there to be ignoramuses and excusing and saying it's okay that there's ignoramuses because it's a two-way street.
Those are two totally different things.
And of course, he's trying to conflate them.
And of course, they're not going to catch him on it.
the gay pioneer of that era was Jack gay.
Rob.
Rob.
Hey, everybody.
Guess what I got on the phone?
I've got joining me on the phone right now is the President of the United States.
Wow.
That's right.
I got President of the United States, Mr. B-Rock B. Ho Obama.
Hello, Mr. Obama.
Mr. President, are you there?
Thank you, Jimmy.
I'm glad you feel that way.
I appreciate your support.
Mr. President, I didn't say anything about supporting you.
I just told the audience that you were my guest today.
That's all I did.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Since this is public radio, I just reflexively assumed you were blowing smoke up my ass.
No, no, no.
Actually, I just wanted to talk to you about net neutrality.
Well, I'm glad you're in favor of my stance on it.
Well, I'm not in favor of your stance on it.
In fact, I want to know exactly where you stand on it right now.
Go easy, Jimmy.
I don't need this shit.
Anytime I want, I can go on MSNBC getting an ego massage with a happy ending.
Yeah, Mr. President.
Have you heard MSNBC's new slogan?
Barack Obama.
We love him long time.
Okay.
No, I hadn't heard that.
But I did want to ask you about the fact that you came out very strongly in favor of net neutrality when you were campaigning in 2007.
Yet now your support of it's very, very tepid.
2007.
Who says it that way?
Me.
Anyway, that's not true, Jimmy.
My support of net neutrality is as strong as ever.
It's just that my strong support of it is now on a different tier with a slower dial-up speed.
Whereas my understanding of the needs of giant telecommunications corporations and big media companies is in a high-speed fast lane with instant access to the whole office.
Okay, listen.
You know, Mr. President, this reminds me of your treatment of Wall Street, to be honest.
It sounds like once again, gigantic conglomerates have you in their pocket.
I was never in the pocket of Wall Street, Jimmy.
Don't let the fact that I was covered with Jamie Diamond Lent for several years give you the wrong impression.
Yeah, well, there was a time when I thought you might be the kind of president who spoke truth to power.
Do you know that, Mr. President?
But I am, Jimmy.
I'm just given the powerful more power.
So there's more power for me to speak power to.
That doesn't even make.
I know.
That's funny to you, right?
That makes sense, President.
No, that doesn't really make sense.
But not really.
Yeah, here you've left.
That does not really make sense, Mr. President.
Jimmy, could you please be a little less two-shaped and a little more touring?
You mean Ture from MSNBC?
Yeah, that motherfucker is throwing the tank for me.
He supported my drone strike program.
Even I was like, are you kidding me?
I mean, if I'm watching MSNBC in the middle of the day, I'm expecting a handjob, but this was ridiculous.
Listen, I'm sorry, Mr. President, but as you might expect, net neutrality is a very important topic to me here.
And if you continue to waffle on this issue, I'm going to be very vocal in my criticism of you.
You got it?
Fine, Jimmy.
I don't mind that at all.
Especially since in about a year or two, your bandwidth is going to be so weak, the people in the same room as you aren't going to be able to hear your podcast.
Well, thanks for joining us, Mr. President.
I'm guessing you won't be doing any more of these independent podcasts like this in the future, will you?
Are you kidding?
Right after I'm done here, I'm going to be a guest on my favorite quirky off-beat podcast.
Well, what's that called?
WTF with Timothy Geidner.
Okay.
All right, President Obama.
Thank you very much.
I voted for that guy.
Me too.
We're up against a break.
We'll be right back in one minute.

We appreciate everybody who does.
All right, let's get back to the show.
All right.
Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Jimmy Dore Show.
We got a lot coming up in the second half.
Phone calls from Chris Christie and John Boehner.
I'm joining the studio on the phone from New York City and Mystery Science Theater 3000.
It's TV's Frank Frank Connock joins us.
Plus, in the studio, the host of Comedy and Everything Else, our resident Latina Steph Zamarano, also from Team Yasamuri, a hilarious comedian Robert Yasamura joins us.
And right now, let's get back to the studio where we're going to talk about climate change and the views of climate change by two of the biggest intellectuals on the right, Charles Kraudheimer and George Will.
Okay, let's get back to the studio.
Okay, so now I'm just going to talk about, I was watching Fox News Sunday.
They were talking about climate change.
And, well, let me just say this.
I have to read this because it's hard to remember.
Thanks to the corporation, thanks to the contraptions of digital and automated mechanisms transmitting to a satellite in orbit around the planet that broadcast the stationary centers that decode binary data into pictures and sound on a screen.
Thanks to that, I get to see people like George Will tell me not to trust science.
So it's funny because right-wingers believe that God gave man dominion over the earth, just not Earth's climate, apparently.
So here, let's start off.
I'll turn on Fox News because the White House came out with a big 800-page study saying that the effects of global warming are happening now.
We're feeling them now, and we're to a tipping point where we can't reverse it because the western shelf of the Antarctic has been breaking off and there's no turning back from that.
Like that's going to melt and it's going to rise to sea level and you can't stop that.
So you just have to prepare for it.
Right.
And of course, you don't have to prepare for anything over at Fox News, right?
Because they're still basking in the glory of the Romney presidential victory.
Okay, so here is Charles Krautheimer.
By the way, these are the intellects.
These are the big brains on the right, okay?
Charles Krautheimer, real-life Frankenstein's monster.
Here we go.
Here's Charles Krautheimer.
Hey, Charles, could you start us off with some 10-year-old talking points that have been debunked a million times about climate change on a news show?
Could you start us off with that?
Let's see if he can.
What they tell you is that you should be scared about what's happening today.
Of course, if it's very cold in the winter, they blame it here in the Northeast.
They blame it on global warming.
But the report it says says that global warming makes summers hotter and winters are generally shorter and warmer.
Any scientific theory that explains everything explains nothing.
And no matter what happens in climate, which is unpleasant, the word for that is weather, it's attributed to global warming.
I mean, if we continue global warming up here in the Northeast, we're going to freeze to death.
It's like he's not even just being ignorant.
He's doing hack comedy now.
It's like, oh, if this global war keeps going, we're going to freeze ourselves.
So that's the intellectual on the right talking about climate change, throwing out three or four completely already debunked straw men and canards that we've all done.
It's like he goes on like, you've never heard the refutations to these ridiculous things you're saying.
You don't understand the difference between climate and weather.
He doesn't, he's still doing that.
So what he's doing is trying to purposely confuse their viewers.
They have done studies.
The more you watch Fox News, the dumber you are.
The less you believe in science.
And you wonder why?
Here it is.
Here's their brain trust right here, George Will and Charles Krauheimer.
And so he goes on.
He's got more to say.
But the most important element is what McConnell was talking about.
The negligible gain.
Assume they are right about global warming.
Assume that it is all caused by man.
The United States has reduced carbon emissions since 2006 more than any other country on Earth.
We are right now at 1992 levels, according to the International Energy Agency.
And yet, carbon emissions have gone up globally.
Why?
We don't control the emissions of the other 96% of humanity, especially China and India.
As we dismantle the coal plants in our country, China and India together are adding one coal-fired plant every week.
The net effect is to ship the U.S. coal energy generating industry from here to India and China.
It will have zero effect.
If we could have a pact with other countries in which everybody would reduce their emissions, I would sign on.
In the absence of it, all that we're doing is committing economic suicide in the name of do-goodism that will not do an iota of good.
Yeah, see, he's here to tell us that global warming science is utter BS, but I'd sign on to a pact to, you know, international pact to control carbon emissions.
Of course, sure, sure.
Even though it's complete bullet BS, I would still sign on to a pact.
But I like how he also says, yeah, it'll be economic suicide if we switch to an economy of renewable energy as opposed to the actual suicide of CO2 created climate change.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know, you want to avoid the economic suicide in favor of an actual suicide that's going to kill everybody and the planet and raise the oceans.
Yeah, why should we do the right thing if no one else is?
What a deal.
Yeah, he's like saying, no, hey, you know what?
I'm not going to stop smoking crack if my brother doesn't stop smoking crack.
Why should we stop doing something bad if the rest of the world wants to?
To changing our economy to renewable energy, it's a win-win.
There's no downside.
Charles Krautheimer sounds like he's been sucking on the tailpite of a Chevy for a little while too long.
Am I right?
Yeah.
Well, and by the way, it's a tremendous investment in our future.
I mean, in terms of infrastructure, because this is the way of the future, it has to be the way of the future.
I mean, this is really like him standing by in like 1930s saying, I don't see why we need a freeway system.
That's right.
That's right.
Why we need a free.
Hey, you know what, Frank?
The air is unbreathable and we all have skin cancer, but guess what?
Business is great.
Exactly.
We want to be prosperous so that we can afford to buy the cool motorcycles and leather jackets for the post-apocalyptic world we're going to be living in.
It's like Krautheimer, he's in his usual state of a confused mind.
He would sign an international pact, but in the meantime, we should do nothing.
If we spent an entire lifetime of inhaling toxic carbon pollution, we would all think and sound like a wheezing Charles Krautheimer too.
So let's just keep that in mind.
All right.
Global warming, I think global warming has melted his soul.
Yes.
You know, we were asked to sign on to the Kyoto Protocols.
We were asked to show leadership in that.
Yeah, leadership.
And if we had, I would guarantee a lot of other countries would be much more willing to look at those, look at those issues.
But until we, who are the only nation who can really afford to start looking at those protocols readily, until we do, no one else is going to.
Also, what is his idea of economic suicide?
I guess it's not going to war with two countries that didn't attack us in the first place.
And it's not allowing banks to have all these subprime mortgages that put people underwater and send our economy crashing.
None of that.
He didn't speak out against any of that, which was actual economic suicide.
He's talking about this as hypothetically.
He's the last person that you should go to for advice on anything, especially this topic.
Well, I'm telling you, this is, here's the other intellectual on the right, George Will.
Okay.
Now, even though, Frank, George Will wears glasses and looks like he doesn't get laid, he's still not a scientist.
Okay?
He's just an old guy.
He's just an old guy who watches too much baseball.
All right.
And here's living proof of it.
Here he goes talking about climate change.
Ready, George?
After Katrina, I was really interested when they said this is a harbinger of increased hurricane activity, which since then has plummeted.
Now, Mr. Holdren, who introduced this report, has his own record of very interesting failed forecasts, not to mention Al Gore, who in 2008 said by 2013, for those of you keeping score at home, that's last year, the ice cap on the North Pole would be gone.
It's not.
Now.
See, Al Gore was wrong about the polar ice cap, so you could dismiss all the science and let's keep going.
Thank you very much.
You found a way to get to dismiss an entire field of science research because you don't like Al Gore.
You know, I don't believe, I don't subscribe to the theory of global warming and climate change because Al Gore.
How about because that's what the settled science is?
How about that?
How do you watch 10,000-year-old glaciers falling apart?
And it's visible.
Isn't George Will a 10,000-year-old glacier?
Yeah.
That's called weather.
Turns out, Frank, it's harder to sound smart while denying science than I thought it was.
It's really hard to sound smart.
These guys are literally science deniers.
It's going to get better.
Here we go.
George Will has even more to say about this.
Say, well, what about this report?
There is a sociology of science.
Scientists are not saints in white laboratories, Smox.
They've got interests like everybody else.
If you want a tenure-track position, don't question the reigning orthodoxy on climate change.
If you want money from the biggest source of direct research in this country, the federal government, don't question its orthodoxy.
Yes, that's right.
Science is one big conspiracy theory, according to George Will.
Damn it.
And you can't get money.
Where are you going to get money to do your climate research that says climate change is BS?
It's not like the oil companies, the most wealthiest corporations in the history of mankind, would fund that for you.
No, no, no.
All the scientists don't want any of that oil money.
They're going where the real money is.
I guess grants.
Windmills?
That sweet, sweet grant money.
Sweet, sweet grant money.
Can I just say for the record, if you're a scientist, if you're a climatologist, if you're a geologist, if you're any of those things, there are jobs in the private sector with the oil companies that pay chemicals and pay extraordinary amounts of money.
They would give you anything you wanted to get.
And what you're talking about right there is the 2% of scientists who have said that the climate change isn't real.
I'm just assuming that all of those are just people, scientists who are working on behalf of giants.
George Will, are you there, Frank?
Yes.
George Will is saying, literally saying, that science can't be trusted because they're all conspiracy.
They're all in cahoots, which this is the most insidious thing he could do to his viewers because now he's telling them, don't trust science.
Don't trust intellects.
I know that when I was a kid, everyone I knew who just was interested in making a lot of money and becoming millionaires, they all became scientists.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
According to George, yes.
And by the way, if you're keeping score with what Al Gore said about the North Pole, never mind what Al Gore said about the North Pole, because right now the South Pole is the one that's breaking apart.
And also, you know what?
It occurs to me, too, for George Will to talk about these scientists will say anything because they want to keep their paychecks.
They want to keep their money coming in.
This is coming from a guy who was on Fox News, and he was saying exactly what Roger Ailes wants to hear to keep him on as a funded.
He is exactly what he is criticizing.
And so he's basically saying that climate scientists are doing science not because it's, you know, peer-reviewed, and it's been tested and questioned.
And this is the, we've all come.
No, he's saying that they're just doing that out of peer pressure.
That's right.
Out of peer pressure.
At universities, Frank, when you see a little guy being pushed around in the hallway, those are just climate scientists peer pressuring someone into believing in climate change.
You see those guys with the pocket protectors and the poindexter glasses pushing the other kids around?
That's the peer pressure he's talking about.
When Albert Einstein came up with E equals MC squared, he was just being really commercial.
Yeah.
Well, he, watch this.
Charles Krautheimer is going to respond to the fact that 97% of all climate scientists.
And by the way, let me just make this point.
There is no debate.
The people go, oh, you have to debate climate.
They're pretending that there's a debate going on.
It's like Sherry Shepard trying to debate if the Earth is round or not.
There is no debate over climate scientists.
The debate has taken place.
It took place between climate scientists.
That's the thing about George Krautheimer and George Will.
Neither climate scientists.
You need to bring a climate scientist on, and he'll tell you what the science is.
There is no debate.
The debate has taken place.
So whenever someone tries to debate you about climate science in your life, what you say to them is they go, yeah, you know, 3% of the carbon emission, whatever statistic that they pull out of their ass.
What you say.
So what you say to them when they pull some statistic out of their ass and that you can't refute it, you go, I'm not debating climate science with you, just like I don't debate evolution with people with creationists.
The science is settled.
Climate scientists have had this debate.
The debate is over.
You're not a scientist.
I'm not a scientist.
They've debated this.
It's over.
You're pretending that there's a debate.
There is no debate.
Go ahead, Frank.
Well, I was just going to say that despite what you're saying, anytime CNN or Sunday shows like Misa Press do a segment on climate science, they always have a debate about it.
Yes.
That's always how they present it.
They have Bill Nye supporting science, and they have another guy in favor of superstition.
And they treat it as an equal debate.
Yeah, that is the big problem.
And if they gave equal time to how many people believed evil either thing, that you'd have 97 climate scientists who explain the science of climate change, and then you'd have three guys on who don't get it.
So it would be 97 minutes like he had a hundred-minute show.
97 minutes would be those guys explaining the real science, and three minutes would be a couple of nutjobs, right?
Be Donald Trump, George Will, and Charles Krautheimer.
That would be your three of the hundred.
So look, I have one more clip.
Here's Charles.
By the way, and that to me, this is the most insidious thing they do is when they have these people who tune into Fox and they make them distrust science.
They're making them distrust that they're making it sound like it's a conspiracy.
Yes.
And but to be fair, if you sat down and listened to their conspiracy theory and really think it's a conspiracy, you don't deserve to live.
Well, to be fair, Robert, Fox News viewers are in the early stages of senile dementia.
Right.
So they don't remember that.
They must find Fox News very comforting because it affirms all of their beliefs from 60 years ago.
Yes, yes, yes.
So the Fox News viewers don't remember that Charles Krautheimer and George Will have been wrong about everything for their entire life.
Their main problem is the rising of the water levels in their adult diaphragm.
Yes, yes.
You know, George Will still thinks that talkies are just a passing fancy.
So here we go.
Here's Charles Krautheimer, and he's got a few closing things to say.
99% of physicists were convinced that space and time are fixed until Einstein, working at a patent office, wrote a paper in which he showed that they are not.
So you can never, ever trust science.
You can never, how do you, why do you, why do you trust?
I think I say Einstein's wrong.
Einstein was wrong.
How could you say Einstein, like he was wrong?
But Einstein, and I may be wrong about this because I don't follow this that much, but I'm guessing that the reason Einstein ended up being so famous and having such credibility in the world is because the majority of scientists agreed with his conclusions.
Yes.
And by the way, Newton before him, he had ample empirical evidence that backed up what he was saying to that point.
So did Einstein.
But science is evolutionary.
It changes over time.
We improve upon it constantly.
Yes.
I don't buy it.
I don't buy it.
I mean, to say that because Newtonian physics, which by the way, still works, was replaced largely by the general theory of relativity is not an argument against science.
It is just him displaying his own ignorance of what he's talking about.
Purposeful ignorance.
He's trying to confuse people.
Charles Krautheimer knows better.
Everything that this is what I'm saying.
Like Charles Krautheimer is a blatant liar.
He knows better.
He knows the.
They know better.
And it's like I just said there.
They want to keep their six-figure salaries on Fox News.
They're just saying what they think Fox News wants to hear.
Want to hear.
And they're total whores.
Yes.
And not for nothing.
Physics and biology.
Physics and climate science are very different sciences.
Yes.
And to say that the general theory of relativity replacing Newtonian physics is the equivalent of a purely empirical science like this is outrageous.
It is an apples and orange comparison.
Well, I mean, it's, I mean, it's just one outrageous thing.
This whole segment's outrageous.
So here we go.
He's got more to say.
I'm not impressed by numbers.
I'm not impressed by consensus.
What does impress you?
Conspiracy theories, conjecture, the opposite of science.
Is that what impresses you?
Money and Jesus.
Oh, that's right.
Money and superstition.
That's what impresses Charles Krautheimer.
There we go.
When I was a psychiatrist, I participated in consensus conferences on how to define depression and mania.
These are things that people negotiate in the way you would negotiate a bill because the science is unstable.
Because in the case of climate, the models are changeable.
Okay, that's not how climate science happens.
People don't get in a room and debate it like they do the DSM, whatever that thing.
DSM5.
This is not how climate science happens, okay?
I'm not going to take time to break it down for you.
Okay, so I don't want to get too into the weeds on this, but that's not how they do it.
Again, he's just lying.
Charles Krautheimer is pretending like science is politics and it's not, even though he wants it to be.
Okay, here we go.
Because climate is so complicated.
The idea that we who have trouble forecasting what's going to happen on Saturday in the climate could no, that's weather.
That's not the climate.
Okay, so you know, and by the way, he knows the difference.
Still lying.
Still, could he be a more horrible human being?
Could there be anything More important than climate science right now.
So, you know, thanks to science, most forecasts about what the weather is going to be like on Saturday are usually pretty amazingly accurate.
Pretty accurate.
And by the way, in 1976, they predicted exactly what's going on.
I remember watching television and them saying the sea levels are going to rise.
This is what's going to happen if things continue.
It's been accurate.
Again, they're just pretending that there's a debate.
They're pretending that this, where are we going?
Pretend to be predicting what's going to happen in 30, 40 years is absurd.
And you always see that no matter what happens, whether it's a flood or it's a drought, whether it's one that's warming or cooling, it's always a result of what is ultimately what we're talking about here.
Human sin with pollution of carbon.
It's the oldest superstition around.
It was in the Old Testament.
It's in the rain dance of Native Americans.
If you sin, the skies will not cooperate.
This is quite superstitious, and I'm waiting for science which doesn't declare itself definitive, but is otherwise convincing.
It's a straw man argument.
That's not what anybody's saying.
That's not what anyone's saying.
Of course, it's a straw.
So let me just sum up here, Robert.
According to Fox News and George, this is the intellectuals on the right.
Do you heard?
They can't even make a decent argument.
They would get kicked out of debate school, both these guys.
This is their intellects on the right.
To sum up, climate change isn't happening.
If climate change is happening, it isn't man-made.
If climate change is man-made, America shouldn't do anything about it because other countries won't do anything about it.
We should continue to use finite resources like oil, coal, and gas because we'll always have the Middle East and pollution is awesome.
Five, Al Gore.
Six, corporate profits are more important than breathable air and drinkable water.
Seven, science is just a conspiracy.
Eight, 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong.
And nine, it's been really cold in the Northeast lately.
So this is what the conservative intellectuals think.
So now you know why conservative dummies think the same thing.
Yeah.
So Chris Christie, I don't know if you guys know what's happening in New Jersey.
Oh, yeah.
So there's a couple of things happening that are pretty interesting.
The first thing is that Chris Christie decided what made him famous as a politician, what made him the darling of the donor class, was that he was able to reform the New Jersey pension system.
And by reform, what he did was he cut the pensions that the people were promised, the workers, the state workers.
He cut them by 30% and made them pay 25% more.
And they said, hey, listen, we'll do this if you guarantee that you will start making the state payments into the pension fund, even at this lower amount, because the past governors didn't do that.
There's been this big shortfall in the pension fund because the state, the past governors, weren't paying what they were supposed to pay into the pension fund by law.
They weren't doing it.
Chris Christie made his political reputation by going all over New Jersey, shaming those former, his former governors, his predecessors, by saying those guys screwed you.
They didn't pay into pen.
I'm going to reform it and I'm going to do it honestly.
So he guaranteed he would pay, not doing it.
He decided that recently he, because he cut the taxes for the wealthiest people in New Jersey and corporate taxes.
And guess what happens when you do that?
There's an $800 billion shortfall in his budget, which he's going to take out of the pensions.
So he's screwing over the pens.
The thing that made him famous made him a viable national candidate.
He's going back on.
Okay, so that's happening.
The other thing that happened was they came out with a gun.
They have these new smart guns, Frank, where it only, it takes like your fingerprint kind of a thing where it'll only work if the owner is holding the gun.
It's called a wristband is the current one.
There's a couple of things.
Yeah, so you have to have a wristband on.
They do make a fingerprint one.
It's not marketed in the United States yet.
So here's the thing.
So they have these smart guns now.
No one has sold, no one's selling them anywhere in America yet.
And the reason why in New Jersey, there's a law that says once these smart guns, this technology becomes available and they're being sold, that every gun sold in New Jersey has to be one of these smart guns.
That's the law.
Now, the people in the state have said, hey, guess what?
Turns out that's a bad law.
And we're willing to change that law because they see the problem with it, right?
So, which is essentially that the NRA has threatened violence against people for even suggesting that they would sell these smart games.
Yes, so even so anybody in the country trying to sell a smart gun is getting unbelievably harassed, not only by the NRA, but other citizens who belong to the NRA.
There was a guy, a gun dealer in Maryland, wanted to sell it.
He goes, you know what?
You're doing the same thing.
You're saying that I can't sell a certain gun just like the people who are against guns are doing.
You're hypocrites.
Oh, did they come down on that guy?
And he released a web video doing a maya call.
But hey, I'm sorry.
I'm not going to sell those guns.
He got his ass handed to him.
So that's exactly what happened.
So I caught, so Chris Christie, I called Chris Christie.
We had a little bit of a conversation about a couple of those things.
By the way, Timmy, have you also heard about what Chris Christie has been doing in social media lately?
No, in social media, what's Chris Christie been doing?
He's getting into corn beef hashtag activism.
He's a large bad.
He is a large bad, Frank.
Okay, here's my conversation with Governor Chris Christie.
Ruffo's body shop.
Oh, hang on.
Hang on.
Here it is.
So I called him up.
I called him up.
Listen to how he answers the phone.
It's kind of interesting.
Ruffo's body shop.
Governor?
Who's this?
It's Jimmy Dore.
Timmy, how the fuck are you?
Why did you just answer the phone that way?
Well, for tax reasons, as far as you know, I work at this body shop.
Yeah, you do what you got to do.
Sure, sure.
Listen, listen, I wanted to talk to you about this controversy that's happening in New Jersey right now.
Why do you want to talk to me about New Jersey?
Because you're the governor.
You know, New Jersey pretty much governs itself.
They just come in on Fridays to do the books and shit.
That does not sound good, Governor.
What?
I got other things, okay?
I'm focused on being president over here.
Governor, I'm pretty sure you're not even going to get the nomination.
Timmy, come on.
What?
Come on.
Come on, Nazi.
What are you talking About Nazi!
What?
Come on.
Why do you keep saying that?
Come on.
Have you seen the cover field of candidates?
Rand Paul, Rick Perry, Jim Bush.
It's like an episode of The Bachelorette Idiot Edition.
I see what you're saying.
I'm pretty sure I can walk out of the state house with a pre-adolescent boy stuck to my penis and still get the nomination.
Governor, the bridge scandal.
It really doesn't seem like it's going to go away.
So what?
People like that kind of thing.
They want a president who can break a few kneecapes.
Like, let's say this Putin character pulls a little something on my watch.
Maybe all of a sudden our bridge to Russia has several lane closures.
Okay, look, Governor, I wanted to talk to you about this gun thing that's going on in your state.
What?
What guns?
I don't know the bottle guns.
No, Governor, this German company developed a smart gun.
Smart, smart how?
Well, basically, only the owner can fire the gun.
Whoa, hey, that's like real futuristic type stuff, eh?
Yeah, but the NRA and the gun owners of America are against it.
What?
Why?
Who doesn't want a gun with magical abilities?
It just doesn't make sense.
Well, there's a law in New Jersey that as soon as the technology is available, gun stores can only sell smart guns.
And so the gun lobbyists are afraid that if smart guns start selling, then they won't be able to get any other.
Ah, for Christ's sake.
But your attorney general said she repealed that provision of the law if the gun lobby would just let dealers sell these smart guns.
She did.
Good for her.
But the NRA isn't budging.
And now, on the other side, the Brady campaign is suing New Jersey for not issuing reports on smart gun technology as stipulated by the law.
Ah, biscuits and corn.
Governor?
Ah, Chicaso.
I need this shit like I need more actual shit.
What exactly do you see as the problem here?
The bumpin' hour with their guns and the talking and the talking.
The guns.
They're the electrified asshole of modern politics.
You say guns are okay, and it's not enough for these people.
You gotta say everyone could carry a rocket launcher into a maternity ward or something.
And then it almost get a little freaked out because you're the old duh.
You try to backtrack a little and all of a sudden Wade La Pierre kills your dog and leaves his head in the front of the mailbox.
How much more of a gun guy do they want me to be?
I mean, I saw Solonzo and McCroskey right in the middle of Luis's Ristorante.
That wasn't you.
I'm pretty sure it was me, Jimmy.
That's from the Godfather.
Nah, I gotta go.
Because evidently, I have to wade my fat Italian ass in the middle of this gun's Poco Merna.
Now, Governor, I wanted to talk to you about you not funding the pension reform that you promised to fund.
You know, that was your crowning achievement, was your pension reform.
You made your name on pension reform.
You berated your predecessors as liars and charlatans because they failed to pay into the pensions.
And now you who promised that you fixed it and you asked the public sector workers to pay 25% more for their pensions, and then they would reserve 30% less, but on the promise that you would fully fund this and you would agree to pay.
So they agreed to pay more to get less.
Yeah, and I promised that I would guarantee to the fund it.
now I'm not fucking father then well That's despicable.
That's beautiful.
It makes you a double crosser.
That makes you a liar.
That makes you an asshole.
All of which I take is a badge of honor.
Thank you very much.
What do you talk?
How?
What you don't realize is I've already screwed over union workers.
If people like it, but I do that anyway.
And union workers hate me anyways.
And the union workers who do already like me and already do vote for me are so fucking stupid that this won't chase their minds about me either.
God bless those dumb fucks.
Really?
Thanks for telling me about this, Jimmy.
You're a good boy.
I'm going to send you a fur coat and an Asian girl.
Really, Governor.
Too late.
It's done.
No back seats.
Okay, that was Governor.
Governor Chris Christie.
Thank you very much.
Wow.
Thank you.
Hey, how did you like today's show?
It's an hour and five minutes.
We did a little extra.
You know, they say don't do that.
They say give them a little less, make people want more, all that stuff.
But I don't want to cut anything out of the shows because we have a lot of content.
Plus, we've got a lot of content coming up in the premium content.
We got the world's most offended or easily offended listener calls in in the premium content, plus a little John Boehner.
We didn't get to John Boehner on the show today.
Here's a little bit of it.
Jimmy, John Boehner here.
I just want to give a message to all my colleagues out there in the tea party.
Suck my tanks.
Pennsylvania, bam.
Idaho, bam.
Georgia, double bam.
Hell, you guys couldn't even defeat Mitch McConnell.
That guy doesn't even know where he is half the time.
All you had to do was ask him what time it is, and he would have had a total meltdown.
In Oregon, you lost to a girl who stalks her boyfriend.
Seriously, you couldn't defeat her, you know, like with a candidate who doesn't stalk people.
Okay, so there's that.
Plus, there's the Elizabeth Hasselbeck, the shortest interview ever on Fox News.
Oh, I really wanted to get to that in the podcast, but that goes in the premium.
Okay, it's amazing.
She brings it on this guy to talk about marijuana and the NFL.
Sean Stuckey is his name, a former NFL star.
And he has, first of all, he has a lot of bona fides to speak about drug addiction.
And he was a high school teacher, and he has lots of addiction in his family.
And he's very intelligent, and he speaks pretty clearly on it.
And he gets to say one thing about marijuana and Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
Anyway, it's so funny.
She cuts him off.
Ends the sex.
Shortest segment I think I've ever seen on television interviewed.
Anyway, so that's in the premium content.
Plus, Dick and Liz Cheney went on the Fox News Sunday to talk about her new book.
And they talked about President Obama being weak.
And it's so funny that Cheney's going to now make me laugh so there's all that in the premium content this weekend and how do you get that you go to jimmydoorcomedy.com you click on donate and you become a $5 a month don't that's it five dollar I can't believe it's not five dollars a week it's five dollars a month that's nothing it's ten that's like ten cents a week and then that gives you access to all the old premium content also okay so we're not trying to we're just trying to provide some
uh steph's rant she had a great rant this week so that's coming up at the end but before we get there i want to say thanks to uh sean james give him a shout out the guy who takes care of our computer and he can fix your computer over the internet and the way you get a hold of him is send him an email at machelp at seanjames.com that's machelp at seanjames.com he spells sean s-h-a-u-n okay that's it for this week and remember it if you'd like to become a member of our live studio
