Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
What's going right with America?
Well, with all that is at stake in this country, think about this.
We've had a peaceful transfer of power for over two centuries.
As we look around the world, we realize that that's really something.
Forgive me for sounding like Sarah Palin, but golly gee, Egypt didn't last through one term before the military ended their democratic experiment.
We've somehow managed 230 years of peaceful transfers of power.
That's 43 times.
We have remained committed to that principle, and the country is becoming more liberal and more progressive every day.
We're still filling up this country with immigrants, which, if history is any guide, can only be a good thing for America.
Yes, there are still a few death rattles of darker days that surface from time to time.
Minority voter suppression, race baiting, the banks that are too big to fail that continue to extract wealth from this country.
But we are now moving forward and we will get better.
Plus, we have better restaurants than most other places.
Let's just start with New York and San Francisco, which to the foodie appear to be cities set up just so we could eat at their amazing restaurants.
San Francisco alone boasts of 23 Michelin stars awarded inside the city limits.
That's 2.9 stars per 100,000 people.
As Ron Paul would say, not too shabby.
And Manhattan does even better by posting 4.2 Michelin stars per 100,000 people.
Sure, it's no Lyon, France, or Bergamo, Italy, but if it were, there'd be absolutely no reason to go to those places.
What else is right with America?
Well, America produced Bruce Springsteen.
If that was our only contribution to the music scene, we could hold our head high, but it doesn't even scratch the surface.
Americans don't just play music.
We invent music.
Americans invented jazz and blues and hip-hop.
Let that knowledge fester in the Pride Pod.
We produced Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles.
*laughter*
We invented stand-up comedy, which up until very recently was strictly an American phenomenon.
Think about that.
There are plenty of other countries with no stand-up comedians.
How sad for an entire nation to go through life not knowing how horrible their airline food is and how different guys are from girls.
But we don't have to worry about that because we are Americans and we have Bob Hope, Jerry Seinfeld, George Carlin, and Bill Hicks.
And that's some of what's right with America.
Thank you.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
Up-minded, lowly-livered lefties.
The kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say.
It's hard to talk to you guys.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
*outro music*
Joining me in the studio, hilarious comedian.
You know him from his HBO specials and his work in the big movies, including my favorite movie, Groundhog Day, and his own podcast.
Check it out overview.
It's the hilarious Rick Overton.
Hey, thanks for having me on.
Thanks for being here.
Across from him, our resident Latina and host of Comedy and Everything Else and the new blog, The Miserable Liberal, it's Steph Zamorano.
Hey, Steph.
Hi, Jimmy.
I just want everybody to know that I think logically.
Okay.
I think we will tell them that.
All right.
I'm the phone all the way from San Francisco.
Hilarious comedian and writer.
It's Mark Van Landuan.
Hey, Mark, how are you?
Hi, everybody.
Okay.
Also, all the way in New York City from Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's TV's Frank Frank Conniff.
Hi, Frank.
Hello there.
All right.
Let's do some jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Did you know, did you hear that the House Republicans managed to somehow manage to squeeze in getting one last thing not done before their summer break?
That's right.
They did not.
Well, as we go to air, they're still pretending they're going to do something about immigration.
It's like paying farmers to not grow crops.
Yeah.
We're paying the Republican Congress to not pass laws.
Republicans say Obama is pretending that they want to impeach him just so Obama can raise money.
And for that, he should be impeached.
Hey, by the way, a lot of news about people wanting to legalize pot.
The New York Times, very ballsy, came out for pot legalization about 25 years too late.
And yeah, after they saw the tide in America going, the New York Times like, hey, we better get on this to let people know that we're followers also.
Because life is stressful for pundits who oppose legalizing pot.
So it's lucky they can relax with a few drinks at the end of the day.
Hey, by the way, you guys, did you know the Sarah Palin channel has launched?
It's for people.
It's for people who feel an intellectual void because there's no snookie network.
Hey, did you hear that?
Michelle Bachman says gays want to prey on kids sexually.
She said that recently.
And GOP leaders are rushing to not condemn her in the strongest language possible.
By the way, there was a guy.
Did you hear about this in Times Square?
There was a guy dressed as Spider-Man.
That's the Jewish Spider-Man.
Mr. Spider-Man.
Mr. Spider-Man.
Mr. Spider-Man, a guy dressed as Spider-Man punched a cop in Times Square.
I predict Hollywood will film the original story of this incident at least twice.
Turns out they arrested, after the chase, they arrested the wrong Spider-Man in Times Square.
Ah, no kidding.
Yeah, the real one got away.
It's hard to tell them apart.
Hey, the GOP, by the way, G.O.P. Boehner and a GOP, they're filing a lawsuit against Obama.
Did you hear about that?
And that's great news if you hate it when Congress spends any time doing anything that might help anyone.
All right, we've got a lot coming up on today's show.
Americans are finally on...
I was just going to say to me, you know what the Jewish Spider-Man login is?
No, what's that?
With great power comes great irritability.
All right.
Coming up on today's show, Americans are finally understanding what being 100% supporter of Israel means.
We check it out.
Joe Scarborough and George Will go rogue and start speaking sense about America's immigration policy and our foreign policy in Israel.
And they get kicked right in the balls immediately For it.
We're going to cover that.
Plus, David Gregory, you didn't think he could get any worse, did you?
For shame, my friend.
He can get much worse.
And we're going to show it to you today.
Plus, Tucker Carlson.
It's opposite day, so he gets to explain things to us.
Let's see.
Plus, Bill O'Reilly calls Juan Williams by its last name, and he just has to sit there and take it.
Plus, phone calls from Benjamin Netanyahu, George Clooney, and Bill O'Reilly.
Plus, a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.

So I was watching Morning Joe Ball, and, you know, that's the liberal network MSNBC has liked to start off their programming day with three hours of right-wing talk supported by insiders, Wall Street hacks, and plagiarists.
So Joe Scarborough finally got a dose of reality about what it means to support Israel.
Because Israel, I don't know if you know, they're bombing civilians who don't have an Air Force.
They don't have weapons, the shield, they don't have the Iron Dome.
They don't even have bomb shelters.
So when Israel, when you bomb people that are defenseless, that's called murder.
I said it last week.
I said it the week before.
I'll keep saying it.
As long as Israel keeps murdering people who don't have an army, an Air Force, bomb shelters.
You know, if you send someone a text and tell them you're about to kill them, that doesn't make it okay.
Hey, guess what?
I said, or send her a text saying I was going to come rape anybody who was in the building.
There were some women there.
I raped them.
It's not my vote.
So this is what they do.
BB, Net, and Yahoo.
They think that, you know, if you come out because they're hiding their bombs, they say, oh, the Hamas has their rocket launchers inside schools and hospitals.
So what do we do?
We bomb the schools and hospitals.
Really?
You wouldn't send soldiers in there to go maybe get the guys with the bomb.
No, you just bomb the hospital.
That's called murder.
Okay.
That's not.
And by the way, Hamas doesn't have their missiles in the hospitals.
We're going to talk about it right now.
Here's Joe Scarborough.
He got a dose of the truth, and here he was on.
And here we go.
This is asinine.
This continued killing of women and children in a way that appears to be indiscriminate is asinine.
It is bad.
Of course, it's tragic for the Palestinian people.
It is bad for the Israeli people.
I mean, we will rue the day that this is happening every day and women and children are being seen.
Because you know what?
As much as we all hate Hamas, what is going to replace Hamas is going to be much worse.
It's going to be a radical Islamist group instead of just power-hungry, corrupt people that despise Israel.
This is such a nightmare that is unfolding.
And the biggest nightmare is that Hamas was on the run.
The Arab states hate Hamas.
And Israel has made them not only relevant again, but champions of the Palestinian people.
This tragedy just keeps unfolding and it keeps getting worse.
Well, I think the Israelis would quibble with the description of it as indiscriminate.
Okay, so before we get to Nicole Wallace, Jarl Scarborough is having an awakening of conscience, and that's always painful.
You know, it's a painful, growing experience, especially if you're a bonehead like Joe Scarborough.
So you could see the pain in it.
But at least, you know, they all agree that you should never kill innocent people because it looks bad.
Yeah, on camera.
Right?
Which everyone has now.
Which everyone has.
That's game-changing with all manners of abuse all around the world as no one doesn't have a production facility at their hip.
Right.
Exactly.
Right.
Yeah.
So Nicole Wallace, who's the she worked on Sarah Palin's campaign with John McCain.
She's a right-wing operative, right?
So she's on the panel with Joe Hardball or Morning Joe Ball.
And so she says this.
She says this.
She says, I think Israel would quibble with the description of it as indiscriminate killing.
No, no, she's right.
It is discriminate killing of civilians, women, and children.
They are very discriminating.
They know exactly who they're killing.
They're not being indiscriminate whatsoever.
When they dropped a bomb on that UN school that had a blue flag flying above it, that the UN called the Israel Army 17 times to tell them don't bomb this school, they bombed it anyway.
And when the UN called the Israeli army and said, let us get these people out of here before you bomb them, they said no.
And then they bombed them and killed 15 people, children, in the UN school.
So I guess what when he says, hey, why don't those so you watch on Meet the Press?
I saw Bibi Netanyahu say that those, you know, the people should be in safe places.
You mean like, I don't know, a UN school, a safe haven?
Maybe something like that they should get to?
Because there's nowhere else to go, Bibi.
You have a fence around the entire Gaza Strip and they are not allowed to have a Navy.
Okay, so they don't have a Navy.
They don't have an Air Force.
They don't have an army.
They don't have Marines.
They don't have bomb shelters.
They don't have anything.
And you bomb them on purpose.
That's murder.
And now it looks bad.
So Joe Scarborough and a couple other right-wingers are getting a little uncomfortable about it.
Does Bloomberg approve?
This is my question.
Does Bloomberg accuse?
I like Israel being, they're not indiscriminate killing.
Nicole Wallace wants you to know they're very discriminate about who they're killing.
So Israel on purpose bombed a UN safe haven school that was being used to house People who have been already displaced by the bombings, right?
So they have 150,000 people in Gaza who are already displaced because they've bombed and leveled neighborhoods with military weapons that you only use on the military field.
They're bombing neighborhoods with people who have no army, no Air Force, no Navy, no bomb shelters, all right?
So they killed 15 people seeking refuge in a safe haven school.
Israeli bombed it.
They bombed them.
The UN was on the phone pleading with the Israeli army to let the people have a leave the place before they bombed it.
Israel Army said, no, look it up.
I'm not kidding.
And then the worst piece of journalism I ever saw in my life happened.
David Gregory was interviewing a UN spokesperson who was in charge of that school that got bombed by Israel, the UN school with a blue flag.
And he had this to say to David Gregory about what the UN is and who they are.
They're not a military organization.
What are they?
We are not an organization.
I hope you will agree that as it's been accused is handing over weapons to Hamas.
We have behaved responsibly to protect our staff and to preserve our neutrality.
Okay, so he said we are neutral.
We don't take sides.
We help people.
We protect civilians.
Okay.
So David Gregory then does this.
Israel justifies their mental gymnastics for bombing a school and killing 15 children.
Is that, hey, Hamas, Hamas fired rockets from that school.
So we're going to bomb it.
So that's, to me, that's the equivalent because what B.B. Netanyahu says is that Hamas uses people to protect their bombs and Israel uses bombs to protect their people.
So that's demonizing Hamas, right?
Because they're horrible.
Look what they would do.
Use human shields to protect their bombs.
And Israel's answer to that is: fuck your human shields.
We're going to kill them.
We'll kill them innocent people.
So when a guy, you know how when a guy in a movie takes a hostage like out of a bank and he puts a knife to a woman's neck and walks out in front of all the cops, B.B. Netanyahu would just shoot the woman.
He would just start shooting her.
Oh, you're using a human shield?
We kill human shields.
That's what Benjamin Netanyahu would do, and he would do it in the name of God.
Well, the danger of doing anything in the name of God is your outclaws to do an atrocity.
Yes.
And also the danger of a right wing of any place on earth.
Hamas is a right wing of Palestine.
Netanyahu is a right wing of Israel.
It isn't.
And it's really, I think, important to draw the distinction between the nation itself and its right wing.
Yes.
Because there is a peace movement there.
Oh, no, no.
Israelis being arrested who aren't going to get any press at all.
No press.
You're right.
They're Orthodox Jews are saying enough already.
There's people that are that are like, and we only need our own nation as the model to see how the media will bury the other stories.
Why wouldn't their right-wing media do exactly the same thing there?
They're following each other's models.
Yes.
Would they learn from us and their Rick is absolutely right?
There are thousands and thousands of Israelis that came out to protest the bombings of Gaza.
The Likud government is not all of Israel.
And by the same token, Hamas is not Gaza.
Yes.
But they will bomb Gaza in the name of coming after Hamas.
That's like saying, hey, we want to bomb the Republicans, so we're going to drop bombs on Dallas, right?
Because there are a lot of Republicans that live there, but there's a lot of Democrats living.
It doesn't matter.
That's their problem.
So here's how David Gregory.
Now, watch what David Gregory does to this guy from the UN who he has on interviewing him about Israel bombing their UN school.
Mr. Gunnis, the Israeli government has released videotape within the past hour.
It was posted on YouTube.
NBC News has not independently verified the Israelis saying, I realize you cannot see this video, but our audience can, and I'm going to describe it to you.
So I'm going to tell you what David Gregory's doing right here.
David Gregory has this guy on who's, by the way, they bombed eight UN schools in Gaza.
So this is not the only one.
So this is what this part of what they're doing is Bibi Netanyahu is bombing schools, UN safe havens.
They're bombing them on purpose, right?
So in the middle of interviewing this guy by remote, David Gregory then shows a video.
He says that Israel has released on YouTube a black and white grainy video showing rockets being launched out of that UN school.
David Gregory says this has not been verified by NBC, but I'm going to play it anyway.
Anyway, they released it less than an hour ago.
Yeah, less than an hour ago, the NBC had not verified the video.
He played it anyway and says this to go ahead.
Jimmy, I subscribe to Israel's YouTube channel, and it's usually just cat videos.
So that put it a little surprising.
So here we go.
Here we go.
The Israelis say, and I realize you cannot see this video, but our audience can, and I'm going to describe it to you.
The guy he's interviewing can't even see the video.
Yet he's still going to, and this is important.
This isn't a sports show.
This is about killing children in Gaza.
And he shows a video from the Israeli that he says shows that the Israelis are okay in doing it.
Here we go.
courts to show rockets being fired from a UN school.
Is this accurate?
Could this be happening without the UN's knowledge?
That would only bolster the prime minister's point that, in fact, Hamas is using civilians, using the United Nations even, in a kind of propaganda war.
So David Gregory decides to be the mouthpiece of murderers who are killing children in UN safe havens in the Gaza Strip, an occupied territory, an open-air prison, the biggest one in history.
They're bombing an open-air prison, okay?
And David Gregory decides, hey, isn't it okay?
Because Israel just released this video on YouTube that said it's okay.
I know you can't see it and you can't ever respond to it, but I just thought that I would do this to kind of kneecap your entire argument here and let people at home think it's okay what Israel's doing.
That's exactly what David Gregory did.
And here's how the guy responds.
Look, to be fair to me, to bring me on a live program and expect me to comment live on air on pictures I haven't actually seen.
I think anyone looking at this program would agree that that's really unfair.
I mean, if I can see it, I'd happily comment on it.
But can I make the point that we have said that all sides have to respect the inviolability of UN compounds?
And that's both sides.
So if this is what you say it is, we would strongly condemn it.
And, you know, we're a humanitarian organization.
You know, we're not an organization with an army.
We have moral force.
We have the force of international law.
And we have the principles of humanitarianism to protect us.
But that's it.
And, you know, that's why we had a UN-protected school with a blue flag on top of it.
The Israeli army had been notified of its location.
And let me also tell you, we spent hours on the phone begging, pleading with the Israeli army to allow civilians out on that terrible day.
And in the end, we did not get a green light.
UNRWA was not vouchsafed that.
And the results, the consequences, those tragic consequences revolts the world.
And I think quite rightly said.
So, David Gregory, he's probably going to apologize right now for doing that horribly amateur journalistic thing that's that's almost criminal journalism that's as much criminal you could be as a journalist right that's Jimmy uh David Gregory does horrible journalism every week on his show it's a constant thing but this this stands out in terms of his horrible journalism this is David Gregory Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club fan yeah this is yeah
Yeah, this is definitely the pinnacle of his masterpiece.
All-time pinnacle masterpiece classic of him being awful.
No, this is going to go in the time capsule.
This is going in the vault.
It's because, according to David Gregory, sure, Israel bombed a U.N. school, but it's okay because there's this unverified video on YouTube.
Right?
That makes it okay, right?
That makes it okay.
Keep in mind that David Gregory is on the air for less than an hour every week.
He has all week to prep Meet the Press, and the show still stinks.
Yes.
With all the resources of Meet the Press, NBC, and General Electric, David Gregory couldn't verify this video that he put on television anyway?
They should call it Press the Meat.
Yes.
Because he's just jerking off the whole time.
So here comes that David Gregory will apologize to the guy for doing that show and that unverified video.
Mr. Gunn, it's just to be clear.
I'm fully aware you cannot see the video.
I was not trying to put you in an unfair position.
But you did.
But you did, and you're horrible.
The video the audience can see, we cannot verify, but again...
But again, I'm going to keep showing it, and I'm going to give you some more right-wing talking points from the Likud party.
It's simply to ask your response to what the Israeli government claims is in fact rockets being fired from those facilities, and to ask you if you are aware of them.
I think your position is clear, and I thank you for your time this morning.
Yes.
Slam it in reverse and get out of that.
So I wanted to show the video twice, and I wanted to repeat the right-wing B.B. Netanyahu's talking points twice.
wanted to repeat them twice right in your face and i'm not going to apologize for it but then he had to come on later because people went crazy immediately and he had to come back on by the end of the show and say this in an endnote to an earlier conversation about gaza we asked as you will recall a u.
spokesman about this video which israel claims israel claims showed rockets being fired by hamas from a un school in gaza this is uh shot by the israeli government uh and that's their claim the u.
has reviewed it tells us that they have confirmed in their view the video does not show rockets being fired from a unadministrated school in gaza so this is a back and forth that we are not able to say it's not a back and forth you piece of it's not a back and forth they bombed a school with the u.
blue flag on the top.
The UN was on the phone for hours with the Israeli army begging them to let the civilians leave before they bombed it.
And they didn't.
And they murdered people.
That's not a back and forth.
You don't deserve to have a show.
You should be put in jail.
You're dancing with war criminals.
Yeah, I got every bad thing in the world.
I wish upon you, David Gregory.
You're the worst piece.
You're the worst person today, by far the worst person.
By the way, I want to show you.
I like how David Gregory wanted there to be no confusion for the UN representative that this crappy show with shoddy standards of journalism.
I don't want any confusion that this is just a crappy show with shoddy journalism.
You get that, right?
This is a crappy show with shoddy journalism.
I don't want you to be confused.
I wasn't coming at you.
We're just bad.
We're horrible.
Okay, so here's that same guy from the UN.
He was being interviewed.
Now, you're not going to be able to see this in the studio, but on YouTube, you'll be able to see this.
He was being interviewed, and he ends his interview.
We can only hear his side of it, and then he breaks down.
So here is that same guy doing a different interview, and here is some of the...
He's an actual human being, and so this kind of affects him.
He has a human emotion, and here it is.
The rights of Palestinians, even their children, are wholesale denied, and it's appalling.
So now the other person interviewing him is saying, thank you for coming on.
We appreciate your time, and he starts to cry.
Thank you very much, and he says, my pleasure.
My pleasure.
My pleasure, and then the interview's over, but the camera's still going, and the guy just breaks down.
This is that UN guy talking to David Gregory.
That's just Chris Gunnett.
I didn't see this.
And that's why David Gregory has a special place in hell booked out just for him.
It's over for him now.
There's enough other things that have compiled against him, and he alienated his own base trying to get out.
It's like one of those bad panic moves when a comedian's dying, and then he says the one worst thing, hoping that'll get him out.
It's made things even worse.
He just did that part.
So this is his retirement plan.
He's out now after this.
Everything is a sad shadow version.
I disagree.
I think he's going to have a long life at NBC.
You know, meet the press.
Maybe an embarrassment, but at least it's an embarrassment that's consistent.
Hey, it's a rip-roaring funny show today, huh?
Really funny stuff.
Hey, it's tough stuff to talk about, and even comedians are human beings too, and we have feelings.
Yeah, I get a little riled up.
You know, people are like, Jimmy, you get a little angry on today's show about Gaza.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I usually save my anger for important things like sporting events and Hollywood award shows.
So guess what?
Benjamin Netanyahu calls in in the second half.

Please call me Bibi.
Isn't it terrible what's going on?
Yes, Bibi, it's horrible.
This is a human tragedy.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
The airline's suspending all flights from Israel.
That's the tragedy?
How can little Mikey visit Uncle Jaime and Flora now?
Thanks, Obama.
That's not the tragedy.
Okay, first of all, I just want to ask you some questions specifically about Israel's invasion of Gaza.
Don't call it an invasion.
It's such an ugly word.
Call it an incursion.
A what?
A weekend excursion.
You know, fun for the entire family.
With the death toll in the Gaza at a thousand, don't you think Israel's actions are looking disproportionate to any threats?
Seems proportionate to me, too.
You insult my sister, I kill your mother.
Then I kill your sister.
That just continues a cycle of violence.
Yeah.
Look, Jimmy, we can't stand by and let our citizens be threatened by crazy people with weapons.
This is not America.
It looks like the Likud government is going to completely go overboard, right?
They're enacting collective punishment over the entire people of Gaza.
We are doing everything we can to avoid civilian deaths, except avoiding actually killing civilians.
You're violating international law.
Jimmy, we are not monsters.
We warn Palestinians when we are going to bomb.
We send them texts.
When what do you text them?
I bomb you with a heart over the eye.
You know, that makes it seem worse, I think.
Oh, so it would be better if we didn't warn them.
We tweet them, we send them Facebook alerts.
I'll tell you one thing: every time I call somebody on the phone, they plot from their plans.
Yeah, I can imagine why.
I tell the people of Gaza, leave.
Don't stay because Hamas tells you to.
Take a vacation, go see the pyramids.
They can't.
They're blockaded from all sides, BB.
You know that.
Carnival cruise ships are nice this time.
If you go on Royal Caribbean international cruises, don't eat the pineapple.
You'll have a boy shake the entire trip.
You don't think it's an imbalance of force against the people without military or economic power?
Don't blame Israel.
This is all Hamas's fault.
It's their fault that we're murdering them.
They're forcing us to do it.
That doesn't sound right.
Israel has the right to protect itself.
The fact that after weeks of intensive combat, Israel has suffered three civilian deaths shows you what kind of threat we're under.
Don't you think you're risking the support of the American people when they see the horrifying images coming out of Gaza?
No way.
I've been on more American media than Ryan Secret.
All week I've been answering impudent questions from the people who play journalists on TV.
As long as America keeps giving us money so we can buy your weapons, I'm happy.
Prime Minister, the killing has to stop.
Whatever point you're trying to make to the Palestinian people, I think you made it.
You sound strangely antagonistic to Israel's truck.
What you Americans don't understand is that Israel's enemies are America's enemies.
That's not a reason to terrorize an entire people.
You know what you are, Jimmy Dore?
You're a self-loathing Gentile.
No, I'm not.
Self-loathing Gentile.
Prime Minister, please.
Self-loathing Gentile.
That's what you are.
What's that?
Oh, the ceasefire is over.
Time to get back to doing what I do best.
I tell you, it makes me feel like a young man again.
We've been speaking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Suck my shalom, boy, boy.
Okay, baby, Netanyahu.
Netanyahu.

Thank you.
Even though I do not get paid during my two months off from work, I'm still enjoying my summer vacation.
And if you are a parent who has a teenager with their hormonal mood changes and lack of problem-solving skills, You can understand that teaching over 180 teenagers Monday through Friday just might kill you.
The most challenging part of teaching is preparing kids for tests.
You know how important standardized tests are, right?
They're not.
How often do you go to parties and start talking about your SAT scores?
And if you're grown up and still touting your SAT score, you need an intervention to help you become a more interesting person.
Tests only test a narrow window of critical thinking skills and ultimately undermines the importance of educating our children.
Something, unfortunately, our Secretary of Education, Arnie Duncan, does not understand.
And don't get me started on Race to the Top or Common Core Tests.
That's right.
Once again, these new Fangled tests will reward those who have access and penalize those who come from impoverished communities.
Go figure.
Why Obama selected this windbag is beyond me.
Arnie Duncan has no teaching experience.
If he does, they keep it a secret.
In 1992, childhood friend and investment banker John W. Rogers Jr. appointed Duncan director of the Aerial Education Initiative, a program mentoring children at one of the city's worst performing elementary schools.
And guess what happened next?
After the school closed in 96, Duncan and Rogers were instrumental in reopening it as a charter school.
And then in 99, Duncan was appointed deputy chief of staff for former Chicago public schools, I guess because he was so successful in Chicago.
And now he's our country's secretary of education because he has absolutely no experience.
Question.
If Arnie Duncan has no real practical pedagogical experience, why is he the Secretary of Education?
A, because he's a corporatist tool.
B, he can undermine the country's confidence in public education and vilify the union so he can do what he does best in education to close more schools and privatize, privatize, privatize.
C, all of the above.
After everything has been said and tested, I give Secretary of Corporate Education a big fucking S. Great job.
So I watched Fox and Friends recently.
I don't recommend it.
You know how Fox and Friends is supposed to have this feel like it's just three normal people getting together to chat about current events over coffee.
I think that's actually what it is.
I mean, I've watched quite a few of these clips, and I got to say, most restaurant scenes from Sex in the City feel closer to real political discussions.
Honestly, Fox and Friends, it's like limbaugh for dummies, except the dummies are the hosts.
So it's more like dummies for dummies.
Dummies for dummies, yeah.
Staring into a mirror in your dressing room.
And here's so here is Tucker Carlson, by the way.
He was, I guess he guest hosts or hosts the Fox and Friends and Friends sometimes when Steve Doocy's out getting this.
He's their weekend host.
Oh, he's the weekend host.
Oh, when Steve Doocy's out getting his hair reblonded.
And so, by the way, Tucker Carlson, he's dropped the bow tie.
So he's gone from being that douchebag in the bow tie to the douchebag in a regular tie, which is nice.
And I know Tucker Carlson's not the brightest bulb in the bulb thing.
And because he has a penchant for not understanding things at the top of his lungs and being very indignant at the same time.
Like when his brain told his mouth to say that tolerance means the opposite of what it means.
Do you remember this?
Well, it's pretty simple.
I mean, if you want to have a gay wedding, fine, go ahead.
If I don't want to bake you a cake for your gay wedding, that's okay too, or should be.
That's called tolerance.
No, that's called bigotry.
Sorry.
Thanks for playing Tucker Carlson.
I'm sorry.
I got a funny feeling.
I got a funny feeling as soon as he goes, okay, good show, everybody, today.
And he goes into a special room they have for him where he has an MMA dummy with his face put on it.
And he beats the hell out of that thing and then cries and starts making out with it and then he's okay again.
I could only hope.
I could only hope.
That's quite a picture.
I like how your mind works.
Yeah, that guy, he's sitting on a lot of something to have those.
He's playing it too straight.
Maybe this bow tie will make them think I'm not a mass murderer with stinky bodies in my freezer.
It didn't work.
People still thought that.
You're trying too hard to look normal, man.
Now, Rick, since there are about, you know, since there are thousands of eight-year-olds in crisis coming across our border, it's making it very politically inconvenient for right-wing hypocrites and xenophobes to live up to our American ideals of being, you know, here, our humbled masses, bring you to our shores.
We're going to take care of you, as it says in the Statue of Liberty.
Whatever.
That was said a long time ago.
Said a long time ago.
So here goes Tucker Carlson.
Look at the logic pretzels they do, the mind-bending gymnastics they have to do, the politics of convenience.
Because now, to be against these eight-year-old kids fleeing violence in Central America, Tucker Carlson has to advocate against the Statue of Liberty and the idea that the United States is a Christian nation.
Let's start off with the liberal on the Fox and Friends and Friends.
The woman who I'm liking more and more, her name is Kirsten.
I forget her last name, but she says this about what's happening with the Republicans handling this border crisis.
By the way, her name is Kirsten Powers.
Her name is Kirsten Powers.
And she's the smart normal person that shows up on Fox News every once in a while.
And here she has some startling statistics about how Americans feel about the border crisis.
53% of Americans believe that Americans do not have a moral obligation to offer asylum to people who come to the U.S. to escape violence or political persecution in their home country.
Okay, so 53% of Americans don't think America has a responsibility to take care of people fleeing horrific violence or political persecution in their own country.
America is the opposite of that.
We're supposed to be that place.
Come here.
It's ironic considering the fact that businesses that consider themselves Republicans rely highly on illegal labor to take care of certain functions for them so that they can run at their budgetary level.
And as we're going to find out later in this segment, Rick, turns out the states with the most immigration tend to have the best economies.
So we're going to find that out later.
So here we go.
So she makes the correct point, this Kirsten Powers.
Here we go.
Called hawkishness.
So here we go.
Let's start it off from the top because she's got some good information.
53% of Americans believe that Americans do not have a moral obligation to offer asylum to people who come to the U.S. to escape violence or political persecution in their home country.
This is called hawkishness.
That's not hawkishness.
That's un-American.
Yes, that is un-American.
That's not being hawkish.
That's not conservative.
That's un-American.
America, we open up our borders to take in immigrants who are fleeing political persecution or any horrific conditions in their own country.
There's a time limit.
As they did for my near-doll, no-good Irish ancestors.
Yes, that's right.
So listen how Tucker Carlson responds to this, ready?
Un-American.
So you're saying that the United States has an obligation.
Anyone who's suffering around the world has a right to come here and be supportive of you and break the law.
Hey, have you ever been to the Statue of Law?
I'm sorry, this is how we're going to be able to do it.
I like the Statue of Lord, but I love that you're putting it in coin.
So she says to him correctly, have you ever been to the Statue of Liberty?
And he says, oh, I love the Statue of Liberty.
But he's lying because he doesn't.
Because what it says on the Statue of Liberty is, keep ancient lands, your storied pomp, cries she, meaning the Statue of Liberty, Lady Liberty.
Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp, with silent lips.
Give me your tired, you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
That's what she said.
The people that you consider the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send them to the United States.
Right, your pomposity, leave that there.
Leave that there.
Send that you're tired, you're poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, the tempest tossed to me.
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.
That's what Lady Liberty says to the world.
And that's what it says on the Statue of Liberty.
And so now Tucker Carlson.
Like a lot of ladies, she should just keep her yaps shut.
And so now Tucker, so now Tucker Carlson.
So now Tucker Carlson has to go against what's written on the Statue of Liberty to justify his hate for Central American kids, eight-year-olds fleeing violence that was kind of co-created by the United States drug policy.
So now he's, again, I love it, right?
He gets everything upside down and backwards.
If you ever want to know how something isn't, ask Tucker Carlson.
Here he goes.
So you're saying, for example, there's been a war for 20 years.
I'm saying every Congolese has a moral right to come here.
You have a moral obligation to pay for it.
So he says, so what if the Congo has been a country?
It's been a war for 20 years.
If everybody from the Congo wants to come here, we have to pay for them.
First of all, yeah, that's what's going to happen.
The people in the Congo are going to leave going to get in a ship or a plane.
Yeah, that's exactly what's going to happen.
They're going to dig a tunnel.
But then when that same kind of question was put back to Tucker Carlson, she asked like the same kind of logic.
She says, I don't think that Jewish people who are fleeing pogroms should have been allowed in Tara.
Oh, come on now.
That's just completely silly.
Why are we just a child?
We have no law.
No, I'm very against letting people flee for God.
I'm not here to engage on that.
He goes, that's completely.
So he says, so if everybody from Chad wants to come here, we have to take care of them.
She goes, well, when the Jews wanted to come, shouldn't we have taken the Jews when they were fleeing Hitler?
And he goes, that's just silly.
And that's silly, Rick, because it blows his stupid argument out of the water.
Yeah, well, though, they were white now.
We're talking about the white ones are okay.
Why don't you?
They'll assimilate.
That's right, exactly.
They're white.
Jews fleeing a pogrom resulted in a delightful musical Fiddler on the Roof.
No, it's a whole different thing.
Yeah, that's right.
This is a delightful music.
So she asks, so she asks.
I'm sorry, say again.
Nothing.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Okay.
So she, no, so she asks him about the Jews.
Hey, okay, well, I'll use your logic.
What about the Jews?
No, I can't.
We can't.
So then she asks him about, let me see, if I can find the thing where she asks.
I have a moral obligation to share my earnings and my country with people I've never met because they are suffering.
I am absolutely.
Okay, have you read the Bible?
This is not a theocracy.
No, no, no.
This is not country.
It's not a corporate Christian country.
What does that mean?
You don't have any obligation to do that.
No, we aren't characteristic.
See, that's what I love about Tucker Carlson.
He doesn't feel a need to be consistent.
When it's cool to be Christian, it helps his argument.
He's a Christian.
What he's not, this isn't a theocracy.
He's a Christian.
What he wants to deny gays their equal rights.
And it's not a theocracy.
What he wants to deny eight-year-olds fleeing drug violence asylum in America.
That straight shooter, Tucker Carlson.
But they don't have a moral right to American tax dollars and physical asylum in the United States.
So that's it.
So the eight-year-olds who are, and I guess the Jews who are fleeing Hitler, they don't have a right to our tax dollar.
So this is all about somehow about someone else is needy.
And as a good Christian nation, we slam the door in their face, right?
That's exactly what Tucker Carlson is saying.
Well, they get to overtalk any guest they disagree with in a way that has never been seen in the history of journalism anywhere other than in their purvey.
Right, right?
Yes?
But all those people did it legally.
So now the other woman on the Fox panel starts yelling, legal, they did it legally.
Okay, now let me just explain this to people.
This is not immigration.
These eight-year-old kids coming across the border fleeing drug violence in Central America, that's not immigration.
That's called they're seeking asylum.
Asylum is different from immigration.
They're seeking asylum.
There's different rules.
So now we have rules.
We have laws that we have to use when these kids come here seeking asylum.
Those who are established with President Bush.
Those who are established, yes, and they don't want to use the law anymore because they're brown kids and we don't like them.
They're brown kids and we don't like them.
Let's get rid of them.
That's exactly.
So they got.
So, you know, Tucker Carlson is talking about these kids have a more, do they have a moral right to come to our country?
But it's not their morality.
It's about our morality.
When they show up on our doorstep, what are we going to do?
You know?
Yeah, well, what Tucker Carlson wants to do is send them back.
That they don't deserve our money.
It's all about him saving his money.
And I think Jesus will say that when he dies and goes to meet his maker, Jesus says, hey, listen, you didn't give me money to those creeps from Central America, did you?
All right, good.
Come on in.
That was a test.
I was testing.
I was testing you to see if you knew not to give money to those creeps from Central America.
You know, these weird smiling people on Fox News with their deformed morality, they always bring up Ronald Reagan.
But remember, back in those days, Republicans were cool about immigrants coming from Cuba.
America used to welcome defectors from Russia, artists and writers, because that is the point of America, to give freedom for the people.
This is just being fueled by this lowly meanness in their character.
Yes.
About seeing, you know, these brown-skinned children.
and they get panicked by that.
So Arizona botched an execution the other day.
Yeah, I was surprised, too.
I figured after Oklahoma, it would probably be Florida who really fucked up.
But no, it was Arizona.
Evidently, the administration of drugs and the drugs themselves left the prisoner alive for almost two hours after the beginning of the execution, which seems bizarre to me given the fact that I'm pretty sure I could kill someone pretty good with a cocktail of heroin and Windex.
The immediate issue is maintaining the appearance of humanity in the execution process.
Yeah, we're going to carefully and conscientiously murder someone, but we're going to not be savages about it.
Truth be told, the guillotine is still the most humane method of execution.
But if we executed people that way, we couldn't pretend we were just performing some sort of involuntary sleep study.
People might be surprised to learn that I'm not actually morally against the death penalty per se.
There are plenty of people who deserve to die.
I have a running list on my wall if you want to see it.
And yes, Glenn, my fifth grade bully, you made the fucking list.
But at the end of the day, capital punishment is just terrible policy.
That is, its drawbacks grossly outweigh any possible benefits.
First of all, it's fucking expensive.
It costs $90,000 more per inmate per year to keep them on death row versus life without parole.
Capital punishment creates additional costs to the California justice and penal system per year of roughly $137 million per year.
The immediate commutation of all California death row inmates would immediately save the state $170 million and $5 billion over the next 20 years.
I'm just saying if we stopped killing people, maybe we could all buy a boat or something.
Secondly, the death penalty does not deter crime in the slightest.
No cause link has ever been made between crime statistics and the death penalty, which is sort of a testimony to the optimism of Americans if you really think about it.
Hey, if you do this thing, you might get executed for it.
You know what?
I feel pretty good about my chances.
And stabbing.
The death penalty also takes forever because of appeals and that pesky constitution.
The end result being that you're not really executing the same guy or gal who committed the crime in the first place.
I mean, imagine if you were held responsible for the shit you did in your early 20s.
People constantly hassling about you, about your one-time devotion to the Spice Girls and all they represent.
Finally, and let's get real on this one.
Try as we might, we're really shitty at the justice thing.
I mean, don't get me wrong, we're no North Korea, but we still get plenty wrong.
According to the Innocence Project, there have been 317 exonerations since 1989 for new DNA evidence.
That's a small sample.
What about all the people who are convicted through just a plain shitty system, like the West Memphis 3 or the case of Ronald Kitchen, who was tortured by the Chicago Police Department into making a false confession?
I'm just saying, we as a nation have definitely executed innocent people.
And maybe the best way to avoid that in the future is by not executing people anymore.
Because it's kind of the ultimate no backseas situation.
Nice job.
Sorry.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hey, Jimmy, this is George Clooney.
How are you doing?
Hey, George Clooney.
Good to talk to you.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
It's good to talk to you.
Is this really George Clooney?
What's going on?
Yeah, what's going on?
I had a feeling you'd be happy to hear from me.
Yes, I'm very happy.
Hey, what's up, buddy?
This is such a surprise.
Hey, I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
Where are you going to buddy?
Hey, I'm ready to go.
I'm just out of my mind.
I can't believe you called me.
I really can't believe you called me.
Well, a friend of mine gave me a copy of your book.
Oh, America's America's Just Not That Into You, that book, George Clooney?
That one.
Yeah.
I read it.
It was fantastic.
And I've been catching up on your podcast and just want to let you know.
I think you're great, and I'm a big fan now.
Oh, wow.
Well, George, thank you very much, buddy.
Yeah, you're a real, you know, fresh, progressive voice on the scene.
I think you should be heard more and more than you're being heard now.
You know, George, not going to argue with you on that one, buddy.
I agree with you 100%.
So as you know, me, you know, myself, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, a few other guys were kind of in the forefront of progressive activism, or at least it's public face in Los Angeles.
Okay, all right.
Uh-huh.
That entails speaking out on issues, making high-profile videos about war, raising money for Obama at high-dower functions, charity balls, etc.
Real black tie shit, you know.
Yeah, yeah, right, right.
Real black tie stuff.
I know what you guys do.
Yeah.
It's nice.
The lifestyle of a high-profile Hollywood liberal.
It's fun.
I'm not going to lie.
It's fun.
Yeah, I bet you're having a great time.
I bet it is fun.
And I guess what I'm saying is that we'd like to invite you into our fold.
Your progressive bona fides are impressive.
You seem like a cool guy, like you'd fit in.
You know, you'd hang.
Not everybody would.
I mean, I'm not making this thing called a Jamie Kilstein.
You have your own tuxedo.
What?
What?
Huh?
Hey, don't worry about it.
You know what?
I'll send my guy over tomorrow and have you all fitted up.
Wow, this is all happening so fast.
Well, what do I have to do, Mr. Clooney?
Oh, not much.
You know, just go to Vegas with us every now and again.
Help us make progressive commercials, I guess.
My part of screenplay, speak truth to power, you know, progressive Hollywood shit.
And you get to partake of our lifestyle, which is not too shabby, not going to lie.
Wow.
Sounds great.
I think I can handle that, buddy.
Well, great, Jimmy.
You start tomorrow, 11:30 a.m. sharp.
Oh, and one more thing I should probably warn you about.
You got to warn me about what, buddy?
Me and the guys.
You know, we got kind of a thing for practical jokes, you know, pranks.
Really?
Practical jokes.
Sounds a little sophomoric, don't you think?
What?
Come on.
Don't be a stick in the mud.
It's fun.
So, watch your back, Jimmy.
What kind of pranks are you talking about here, George?
Please.
Ah, you know, just crazy pranks and stunts.
Like what?
Like, you know, for example, when you're out of town and at home, me and Damon, you know, will sneak into your house and bang your wife.
What?
What?
Or, you know, waterboard your dog or something.
Something fun.
What?
You're going to torture my dog?
It's not a prank.
It's not torture if it's a dog.
Yeah, if it's a person, that's a war crime.
It is my firm belief that that is not who we are as Americans.
And screwing my wife, George, I have news for you.
Screwing my wife is not a practical joke, my friend.
You know who's going to thank you the most is DiCaprio.
Why is that?
Leo was getting the worst out of it for most.
Doesn't want to kick that model, Bar Raffaelli.
Me and Brad sneak into their place and Eiffel Tower, his model girlfriend.
Eiffel Tower.
What is that?
What is Eiffel Tower?
That's when she's going down on one guy and the other guy's doing it from behind and they high-five each other over her back.
So anyway, that's what we did.
And we took a picture of him and sent it to Leo's phone.
He got violently yelled and they had to stop filming for a few days in the field position.
But you got over it, of course.
You know, you people sound sick, and I don't want any part of your little club, okay?
You know who goes overboard sometimes?
It's Don Cheadle.
Yeah, one time he's got his hands.
Oh, I did this.
He got his hands on a treadmill.
What?
He's homeless guys.
He killed them and he decapitated them, lighting their severed heads on fire.
And then just launching them into Dodgers Stadium while a game was going on.
He was like, hey, Cloney, check out this frank.
And, you know, I said, I don't really think this thing qualifies as a practical joke, per se.
Unhinged human being.
Like, Donnie, baby, you're scared of daddy over here.
Oh, my, oh, my God, George.
Yeah.
And things got really scared there for a minute.
John C. Riley was walking around nearby, and Sheadle was in his murderous frenzy.
And, you know, Johnny looks like a homeless guy.
He's got that weird character actor look to him.
She'll distinguish him for a second, almost cut his head off.
You know, look, I appreciate the call, but you know what?
Stay away from me and my family.
Would you please?
What?
You're not a progressive all of a sudden.
You know, I'm a progressive.
What are you talking about?
You know, that's all we are.
Just some progressive gentlemen and tuxedos speaking truth to power and pulling pranks and stunts and gags and boners.
Wow.
Hey, listen, you know, whatever, George.
You don't really, whatever.
I can't believe you're turning down this opportunity, to be honest with you, Jimmy.
You realize the magnitude of a limousine liberal lifestyle you're shooting.
You know what?
I don't think it's worth it, George.
I really don't.
I don't think you get it, Jimmy.
I have a yacht that can fly with a harem in it.
Wow.
Wow.
You can harem in your yacht.
Okay.
I have a steampunk sex robot that can cook Cuscan.
Okay.
All right.
You're freaking me out now, George.
Okay.
You know, you had your chance.
We're still going to come bang your wife.
No, you're not going to come bang my wife.
No, you're not.
You still live over there.
I'll call the police.
I'll call the police.
Okay, gotta go.
Hey, one more thing.
Here's David Feldman's number.
No, I don't have David.
Well, actually, I do have his number.
You want it?
All right.
Hey, everybody.
Guess what?
That is the show.
Turns out we turn it into a funny show.
A lot of horrible stuff to talk about.
Robert Yasimura making the death penalty horrible, horror funny.
So that's what we do here.
We do our best.
I hope you appreciate it.
And I just want to end by saying that a lot of people, I think, mistake my position that somehow I'm pro-Hamas.
Okay.
I'm not.
I'm not pro-Hamas.
In fact, a lot of the Palestinians aren't even pro-Hamas.
Okay.
So I'm just so you know.
Okay.
So I just want to get that point across.
And guess what?
The premium content is jam-packed this week.
And what's in there?
Well, we're finally going to get to the George Will talking like a human being and then getting kicked in the balls immediately for it by the right wing and Bill O'Reilly.
And then Bill O'Reilly calls in to talk about it.
And he had one of those scenes again where he demeans Juan Williams, talks down to him and talks to him like a boss talks to you.
He speaks to him in his last name.
All right, Williams.
He does that thing.
And then Juan Williams has to tell him how much he loves him before.
Anyway, so anyway, here is, by the way, here's a little bit of that phone call from Bill O'Reilly.
Hey, by the way, picked up your book the other day.
Really good stuff.
Luke Rossard is such a faggot.
About time somebody took him down.
We take you down.
So there's a lot more in the premium content.
The whole Bill O'Reilly call.
It's a classic this week.
Also, there's about, I think, about 20, 30 minutes of content plus the Bill O'Reilly call this week.
So get the, how do you get the premium content, Jimmy?
You go to JimmyDoorComedy.com, you click on premium, you make your $5 a month donation.
It's like nothing.
And then that gives you access to all the premium content every week.
And by the way, I know we don't have the most high-tech system for the premium content.
So there are ways to get around it.
I don't think there are people who aren't paying, who are getting it, or who paid once and then stopped and all that.
Hey, that's up to you.
You know, I'm, we put this show out because we're progressives and I'm a comedian and it's what I like to talk about.
And the fact that people like it enough to listen is really flattering and it's thrilling because I love doing this.
And so, you know, we're supposed to be like-minded.
And, you know, I think people donate because they want to help support the show.
It's not necessarily, you know, a big charge or whatever, but it's just a way to help support the show and fund it.
And so I would, and if you can't afford it, then that's okay.
Go ahead and steal it.
Okay.
That's how I feel.
But everybody who makes their donations and keeps making their donations, even after they know they don't have to, I appreciate it.
So thank you very much for being a donator and making this show happen.
And, you know, it's just, again, it's thrilling from the bottom of my heart.
This is one of the few, I never thought I'd like doing something as much as stand-up, and I still don't.
But this is a close second.
This is right up there.
Okay.
So I want to say thanks to everybody who wrote for this week's show.
It was fantastic.
I will start with Mike McRae, Frank Conniff, Mark Van Landuitt, Paul Kozlowski, Robert Yasimura, and Steph Zamorano.
Of course, all the voices today performed by the one and only Mike McRae, who can be found at mikemcray.com.
And big thanks to my buddy, Rick Overton, the hilarious Rick Overton, for sitting in with us today.
You can check out his podcast.
I highly recommend it.
I was a guest on there.
It's called Overview.
Hey, thanks for buying the book, and I'll see you August 28th at Romans in Pasadena.
I'm doing a book signing there.
So if you got the book, you want me to sign it, or if you just want to come out and see me, August 28th, there's a link over at the website, JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Plus, you go over there.
You can watch me on KCAL9.
I was on KCAL9, and I was on with our good friend the Tom Hartman show, the big picture.
I was on with him.
I got clips over there at JimmyDoorComedy.com.
You can check those out, okay?
All right.
That's it for this week.
Thanks for listening.
You got a bonus.
Look, we're all way over.
You almost got an extra 10 minutes this week.
That's great.
That's great for everybody.
All right.
That's it for this week.
