Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program, the Jimmy Dore Show.
So, President Obama getting in a lot of trouble.
Let me see if I can get him on the phone.
He's having a hard time dealing with ISIS.
Let's see.
Hello, Brock.
I'm doing good.
How you doing, Jimmy?
Oh, okay.
I'm doing great, Mr. President.
Great that thanks for coming on the phone with us.
Listen, people are saying that you weren't really doing a good job because you said that you didn't have a strategy for dealing with ISIS.
Now, do you have a strategy?
Once again, can the world get off my dick for like five seconds here?
But you did say it, right?
You did say it.
Damn it.
You sound like my wife for Christ's sake.
I know I said it.
I'm a moron.
Happy now?
This isn't about me being happy or anything.
Listen, Barack, I'm not your wife, but Peter King has really, really been pouncing on you over this.
Hey, Peter King, what the fuck is your strategy for defeating Islamist terrorists?
We're in a darker suit.
But Brock, you did say you didn't have a strategy, but you do have a strategy, right?
You do have some kind of plans on how to deal with ISIS.
Yeah.
Does 115 airstrike sound like a plan?
Why don't you ask these ISIS pricks who are getting bombed?
What they think about our strategy.
Yeah, okay, I will.
But listen, is there anything else that you can do besides bombing them like that?
Oh, look at Mr. Informed over here doesn't know shit about what I'm doing on the Malays.
What?
I don't know shit about what you're doing.
Am I Mr. Informed in this situation?
What are you talking about?
What?
I called for $500 million in aid to be made available to moderate rebels fighting Syria.
Really?
I got rid of that asshole, Maliki.
Yes, that's right.
Encourage other Middle East countries to lend resources to the fight.
Well, I didn't know any of this.
You should let people know about this more often, buddy.
I should let people know that more often.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Sure, I bought a lot of know about it on my shows on the Pacifica Network and the Young Persian Network Online.
Burn.
Brock, I thought we were friends, buddy.
Oh, you can diss it out, but you can't take it.
On page 183 of your book.
Your country just says not into you.
Uh-huh.
Available now on Amazon.
Uh-huh, right?
You blame Chuck Todd for not informing people about Obamacare.
Yeah, that's right.
David Gregory for informing people that Iraq was a lie.
Correct.
But here, you are completely failing to inform the people what's happening and consequently fucking me and my ass.
Okay.
And it's my fault.
What a piece of shit you are, Jimmy Dore.
Whoa, Barack, I got to be honest.
When you talk like that, even though we're doing a sketch, it really hurts my feelings.
Dish it out.
I can't take it.
What do you mean when you say it?
What do you mean?
I was a Labor Day brunch on Martha's Vineyard.
And do you know who came up to me with tears in his eyes, Jimmy?
No, who?
Who?
Ben Stein.
Jimmy.
Little old Ben made me laugh and ferris Bueller Stein.
And I asked him what was wrong.
And all I could make out over the sobs was Jimmy Dore did it.
Okay.
Yeah, but Barack, do you know what Ben Stein said?
You don't see the effects of your word, Jimmy.
I do.
He said horrible things about Michael Brown, Barack.
That's why.
You suck, Jimmy.
How do you like that?
Bye.
Bye.
No, you can't just say I suck and call me a piece of shit and then leave.
Don't do that, Barack.
It's not nice.
Can't take it bye.
Okay, that was Mr. President.
We'll see you next time.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
Up-minded, lowly-lovered loffies.
The kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's much talking to T-Value.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's show.
I am joined in the studio to my right, hilarious comedian, and the new, she got a new blog called The Miserable Liberal, and she's the host of Comedy and Everything Else.
It's Steph Zemberano.
Hi, Steph.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Jimmy.
Yes.
You don't have anything in Spanish to say?
Hola.
Como staj.
You are a resident Latina.
We have to ethnic up this show.
All right.
Vamos a la playa.
Oh, very good.
I am going down to the Playa Del Rey.
Is that what that means?
That's pretty good.
All right.
So also on the phone from Mystery Science Theater 3000, it's TV's Frank Frank Coniff is with us.
Hi, Frank.
Hello there.
And everybody should catch Frank's podcast, Pothouse 90.
What's the newest episode called?
The newest episode is called Dracula has risen in the Paul.
There you go.
Check it out.
Pothouse 90.
Here's a link over at JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Also on the phone from San Francisco, a hilarious writer.
It's Mark Van Landuitt.
Hey, Mark, how are you?
Hi, everybody.
All right, let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Hey, you know, if you're in the mood to have a to have total effing morons get in touch with you, you know what you do?
You just post an anti-NRA pro-gun control tweet.
Bam.
You're going to get a lot of total effing morons.
Hey, shocking news.
I don't know if you heard about this.
Senator Gillibrand, the female Kirsten Gillibrand, she posts, she published a book talking about all the sexual harassment she gets and being even as a senator.
And shocking news, male senators make sexist remarks.
You know, we expect them to be polite when they pass bills that hurt working women.
Shouldn't they be nicer?
Speaking of which, Labor Day was last Monday.
And, you know, Labor Day is a tribute to the rights of the working class, or as Republicans call it, a National Day of Mourning.
Get it?
Get it?
Because they're not pro-worker.
No, they're not.
Hey, by the way, it is September, right?
It is September, which means that the GOP's new fall season of anti-black, anti-woman, anti-immigrant laws will be premiering soon.
Huh?
And isn't it weird?
By the way, Frank, you live in New York City, right?
I do.
And it's weird how year after year after year, Fashion Week manages to happen without you.
I know.
Completely ignore me.
I don't get it.
Fashion Week is like a comic-con, but with cosplay for rich assholes.
Yes.
Yes, yes.
Hey, by the way, the media wants to move past that by the end of the big, the big celebrity nude scandal.
They broke in, right, to the eye cloud, and they got nude pictures of what's her name?
Jennifer Lawrence.
Jennifer Lawrence.
And they said even Kate Upton.
And could there be anything more damaging to a young bikini model's career than salacious photos of her being posted On the internet?
I don't think so.
Yes, so, and the media wants to move past the celebrity nude photo scandal so it can go back to its normal everyday way of objectifying women.
I mean, honest to God.
I mean, so you get the jokes there.
I'm talking about, I'm outraged over the outrage.
That's what those jokes are about.
By the way, Joan Rivers passed.
She's a friend of the show, guest of the show.
And by the way, at least finally, now her face can relax.
Am I right?
Am I right?
And by the way, Joan Rivers wouldn't hesitate to make a sick joke about the passing of Joan Rivers, which is why I said that and why we will all miss her.
Rest in peace, Joan Rivers.
Hey, by the way, I just heard a report that Eric Cantor, Eric Cantor, you know, he lost his seat in the primary this year to a Tea Party Republican, Eric Cantor, has just gotten a job working for Wall Street.
Wait a minute.
I thought he left Congress.
Hey!
It's weird that he got a job as a big shot on Wall Street, considering that Eric Cantor has zero experience working in banking or finance or anything like that.
Yeah.
I'm sure the $3.4 million the financial industry contributed to his campaign had nothing to do with anything.
No.
Had nothing.
Why would they hire him?
I don't get it.
I don't get why they would hire him.
Hey, by the way, Luke Russert is going to be a regular on Meet the Press.
Oh, boy.
That's right.
Going to be a regular on Meet the Press because any random person they could pull in off the street wasn't available.
Not available.
Hey, by the way, Duck, did you hear Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson's in the news again?
He made a comment on ISIS.
He said what they asked him, what do you think we should do with ISIS?
And Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson says, we got to convert them or kill them.
And now he's being sued by ISIS for plagiarizing their ideology.
Get it?
He's just like the thing he claims to hate books.
All right, coming up on today's show, we're going to talk about Barack Obama's no strategy in the Middle East.
Chris Hardball's freaking out about beheadings.
Plus, we got phone calls.
That's right.
Oh, by the way, libertarians, turns out, don't know what libertarian means.
We're going to talk about that.
Also, we got phone calls today from Luke Russert, Barack Obama, Rip Torn, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
That's today on the Jimmy Door show.
Woohoo!
you This portion of the Jimmy Door show brought to you by Johnson's Johnsons.
Need a better Johnson that is sure to please the ladies?
Try on a Johnson's Johnsons for size.
Oh, yeah, that'll do the trick.
Johnson's Johnsons.
They'll stop laughing and pointing and start yelping for more.

Remember, Jimmy spells his last name, D-O-R-E, jimmydorecomedy.com.
So guess what?
President Obama got in a lot of trouble, got a little hot water because he said he didn't have a strategy yet to deal with ISIS.
And, well, he got the hint and he realized that even though nobody ever yet so far has come up with a real plan to stamp out Islamist terrorists from the earth, President Obama knows he still needs to talk like he knows how to do that, right?
He figured that out when he first said he didn't know.
So here's what he said just the other day talking about ISIS.
Our objective is clear, and that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so that it's no longer a threat, not just to Iraq, but also the region and to the United States.
See, we just need to degrade them and destroy them, just like we did with the Al-Qaeda.
Remember how good that turned out?
Remember when we spent trillions of dollars to crush them?
So if we do to ISIS what we did to Al-Qaeda, then we should have a new, even more depraved group of violent psychopaths to deal with in no time at all, right?
So this is a good strategy.
This is a good strategy.
I don't know.
What do you guys think?
Jimmy, we need just one more decade of war in the Middle East, and we will be rid of all these militants.
Yes.
Exactly.
The question we've asked before on this show: how many more Muslims do we have to kill before these terrorists stop bothering us?
Why can't we rid the Middle East of all these pesky Muslims?
I mean, where do they keep coming from?
Where do they keep coming?
But then Barack Obama realized that what he had said was a little too strong, that we need to degrade and destroy ISIS.
So in the same press conference, he already started to backpedal.
Okay, ready?
So he went from, we need to destroy them to this.
We know that if we are joined by the international community, we can continue to shrink ISIL's sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities, to the point where it is a manageable problem.
Oh, so now he went from destroying them, now he just thinks they need a good manager.
That's what he's saying.
So maybe we get one of, maybe we get that manager that Governor Rick Snyder appointed to run Detroit.
I wonder if ISIS would finally get the message that we're really pissed off if we cut off their water.
Hey, before they get a good manager, I need a good manager.
That's right.
That's what it's not.
So he went from destroying them to get we should try to manage them to, again, this is we, how many more, how much more money do we have to spend in the Middle East fighting terrorists, right?
We just spent trillions.
We just spent $25 billion arming the Iraqi army.
And guess what?
Nothing had bubbled.
It all went away.
What we did was we spent those trillions of dollars creating this situation.
Yes.
I don't know.
The money went into.
Yes, so all that money we spent, the Iraq war, it turned into this.
This is the result of that.
Right.
And the thing that could have prevented this, maybe could have prevented this, is if when there was a drought in Syria and Syria put out a help call to the UN and to the world to help them with their drought, they said, no, we're not going to help you.
But we'll wait till there's complete unrest in your country over the drought and there's a civil war.
Then we'll start bombing you.
But we're not going to give You water or anything, but we will help start a breeding ground for ISIS, and we will create the borderless Middle East so we can have terrorists have their own state.
But should we help with the drought in Syria?
No, because that was the that's again, this is kind of the tip of the iceberg of global warming, right?
This is kind of like this is you could make the case that this was kind of fueled by global warming because this was fueled by a drought, which is never talked about in the news, never talked about, that that's how the Syrian problem started.
And then how did the Iraq problem start?
We started it.
We went and we killed Saddam Hussein and his sons, the only people that were able to keep Iraq together.
We got rid of them, and now this is what we have.
So, Anthony, General Anthony Zinni, it was on Meet the Press this past week.
Anthony Zinni, by the way, he's the special envoy for the United States to Israel and Palestine.
So, you know, he knows how to cool down a crisis.
So, here comes Anthony Zitti, and here's what he had to say: what we should do right now in the Middle East with ISIS.
And tell me if it doesn't sound eerily familiar to stuff we heard in 2002.
The boots on the ground question is always the toughest one.
I wish we were not so paranoid about boots on the ground.
We can't even define it.
There's going to have to be special operations forces.
There's going to have to be people that can call in and adjust air and fires and advisors to be with these units.
And very simply put, if you put two brigades on the ground right now of U.S. forces, they would push ISIS back into Syria in a heartbeat and probably take less time, less cost, and I think in the long run, fewer casualties overall.
Oh, yeah.
So, again, we can get this taken care of.
We're going to fix everything with 8,000 troops and bam, bam, problem solved.
Light footprint.
How come he forgot to say we'll be treated as liberators?
Yes, he should have said that.
He should have said that, why didn't he say we have to fight him over there to fight him over?
And then this would be over in two or three weeks, and that the war will pay for itself.
The war is going to pay for itself, and the insurgents are in their last throws.
Yes, but are we going to be able to still torture?
I think we should be able to torture.
I think we're going to be able to torture.
The good thing is, is fortunately, we have plenty of money to spend on all this.
Yes, fortunately.
It's fortunately.
Everything in America is all taken care of.
Everybody has enough infrastructure and everything.
Yeah, we have enough bridges and roads.
Sure, we have 40 kids in every classroom and every high school in America, and they have to share graduation gowns.
Meanwhile, we have tanks parked in Ferguson, Missouri, and trillions of dollars sitting in a hole called Iraq.
You know, Jimmy, in the lead up to the Iraq war, people would be on Fox News, and Sean Hennedy and those people would say, do you really think the world would be safe is safer with Saddam Hussein in power?
Do you really think?
Yes.
The world is safer.
And the answer we now know is yes.
Yes.
The world was safer with Saddam Hussein in power.
Yes, yes.
And by the way, Anthony Zinni, who just recommended 8,000 troops.
8,000, by the way, so it turns out, even though we spent trillions in the Iraq invasion and occupation, another 25 billion to train their army, none of that worked out the way we thought it would.
And yet, all it's going to take to fix everything right now is 8,000 troops.
That's all it's going to take.
There was success in the training is the course they taught in retreating really took with them.
Yeah, those guys really, high marks, everybody got straight A's on how to retreat and leave your uniform on the battlefield.
That really worked great.
Maybe they shouldn't teach that course anymore.
I don't know.
But Anthony's, now, if you remember the first Iraq war, NBC brought out a bunch of generals like Anthony Zinni, and they were giving us advice on what we should do in Iraq.
Like they all said we should go in and whatever, and we should, it should be, this will be an easy operation.
And turns out they were all on the take.
They were all being paid by defense contractors, which is a conflict of interest, which NBC never revealed.
And then when it did get revealed by someone else, Brian Williams never talked about it on his newscast.
Never been mentioned on NBC.
Never been mentioned.
So now, Anthony Zinni.
And just let me add too.
It's never been mentioned on NBC.
The New York Times reporter who wrote the article won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting that.
And it's never been talked about on NBC.
Never been mentioned.
I wonder if it's been mentioned on MSNBC.
I'm going to guess no.
But guess what?
Anthony Zinni, he's a little dirty, too.
We did a little checking.
Yeah, he's not only on the board of many military contracting companies, he is also a chairman of the Institute on Global Conflict.
And apparently he specializes in creating global conflicts.
I like how he says we can't even define boots on the ground.
Then he proceeds to define it.
Yes.
Exactly.
What the general was saying is that he has the full approval of General Electric's board of directors upstairs from the studio.
Yeah, that's exactly what I mean.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's also on the board of a puppy that makes boots.
Yeah.
So there you go.
All the trillions of dollars we spent in Iraq retraining their army, the billions of stuff they were not spending at home.
We have bridges falling down.
We're firing teachers, cops, occupy Wall Street, biggest income disparity, and says the Gilded Age.
But all we need is 8,000 more troops in the Middle East.
And we'll all be no time.
In no time.
Everything will be fixed, says the guy working for defense contractors on NBC.
I'm still thinking about what you said about the drought in Syria.
If only we married our want to bomb Syria with our want to give them water by just throwing water balloons at them.
Yes.
Why didn't we bomb them with water balloons?
would have been more helpful.
We'll be right back.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey, hello, is this Peter King, Peter?
Hey, Jimmy, this is Peter K. How are you?
I'm doing, I'm doing good, Peter.
How are you, buddy?
Nice to hear your voice.
I'm steamed like a bucket of friggin clams over here.
Really?
About what, buddy?
What are you steaming about?
ISIS, Jimmy.
Yeah.
ISIS, ISIL, whatever it is.
ISIS, ISIL.
ISID beat it, you raghead.
It's very troubling that you say that.
The worst nightmare, Jimmy.
What is?
The worst possible outcome.
Radicalized Muslims.
Shiadis marching across the Middle East unchallenged with radicalized Westerners flying back and forth to do terror here and in Europe.
Yeah, I know.
I know.
Did you hear the voice of the executioner guy in the video?
Yeah, I heard the guy's voice, yes.
Hey, he sounds just like Ali G. Yeah, he does.
He's a British guy going on holiday, Cutting people's fucking heads off on a desert.
Jesus Christ, what is this world coming to?
Scavenger all over.
I can't believe Obama did this to us.
What?
What?
It's Obama's fault, Jimmy.
Is Obama's fault?
How could that be?
Of course it is, you knucklehead.
How do you reckon that?
Well, first of all, I don't think it would be irresponsible of me or any right-wing politician, a pundit, to blithely imply that President Obama is on the side of the terrorists.
Wow, that's amazing.
Yet you think that wouldn't be irresponsible to say.
Really?
I know.
It's a wing pig, isn't it?
Yeah.
Pretty goddamn great.
Anyway, given his radical Islamist proclivities, it isn't that crazy to think that he laid the groundwork for this monstrosity over there.
How did he do that, Mr. Reed?
He pulled out forces out of Iraq and destabilized the region and left Iraq weak politically and militarily.
The perfect storm for this kind of thing.
These types of people did they were just waiting for us to leave so they could start the death march across the fertile croissant or whatever the fuck they call it.
They would have waited forever if they had to.
So you say our forces should be there forever?
No.
There should have been an exit strategy that didn't leave the Iraqi people high and dry.
It confronted ISIS head on.
But ISIS didn't exist in its current form when the exit strategy was concocted, Representative.
You know that.
Exactly, Jimmy.
Well, we should have seen it coming.
I don't understand this.
I don't understand what you're talking about.
How?
How could we?
Look, it's obvious to anyone that our invasion of Iraq so profoundly destabilized that region that in order to protect the fragile democracy we created, we would have had to stay there permanently or at least indefinitely.
That should have been taken into account in our exit strategy.
But how do you have an exit strategy incorporate the fact that we have to stay there forever?
You can't have both things.
Right?
God damn it, I'm trying to blame Obama here.
Why'd you give me such a hard time, you fucking dildo?
Why you got to ask these questions?
What?
You libs what you woulda, coulda, shoulda.
You're like the John QZ from Hades T comedies, lamenting the girl that got away.
And in this case, the girl represents any hope we had of mediated conflict in the Middle East to our benefit.
Well, I am a realist over here.
Okay.
And I say, good riddance, you stuck-up private school plaid skirt wearing snob.
Sorry, we weren't good enough for you.
I guess you'll just go to college and I'll work my blue-collar job in our hometown I couldn't get out of.
I'm confused about what I'm angry about right now.
Yeah, I don't have an ending.
Sorry about that, but we can take it.
We're taking in for a landing, I guess.
Yeah, I guess.
I guess.
Well, listen, Peter King, join us next week for another edition when Peter King tells us that it's Obama's fault.
Okay.
Damn it.
Peter King.
So guess what?
Meet the Press.
Meet the Press has been in the basement ever since Gregory, David Gregory took over.
And so NBC decided to fire David Handsome Guy Say Stuff Gregory.
And who did they decide to replace him with?
They're retooling right now.
Here's their new host.
Chuck Todd, Luke Russert, and Joe Scarborough.
Yes, their newest cast of out-of-touch, rich white guys to bring us corporate talking points every Sunday.
Yes, they went with Luke Russert to attract the youth viewer and Joe Scarborough to repel them.
And yes, of course, Luke Russert's going to appeal to the youth.
Right.
You know, if you're young and smart enough to be interested in politics, you definitely want your news served to you by a guy with less gravitas than Essie Cup.
So I don't know.
How do you feel about three?
I mean, this looks like a joke.
This looks like a sketch that they would do somewhere.
Hey, here's our new MSN, here's our new meet the press panel.
Three of the most out-of-touch white guys, who, by the way, all think alike.
They all think alike.
They couldn't get Torre to put on there.
They couldn't get a woman to put on there.
They couldn't get Rachel Maddow.
They couldn't get somebody who thinks differently.
Al Sharpton would have been more interesting.
He would have at least got better ratings.
Oh, I think you're wrong, Jimmy.
I think Chuck Todd is going to tear things up on this press.
I say, look out, Washington.
You never know how he's going to protect the status quo.
Chuck Todd is like an edgy David Gregory.
He's not going to let your talking points go unchallenged.
You just watch.
That's going to be one hot seat when Chuck Todd asks you questions.
Oh, yeah, Chuck Todd.
Imagine the viewing public will be electrified.
You know that guy who's been on NBC News for the last decade that you've never noticed before?
Yeah, that guy's going to turn Washington upside down.
That guy was the goatee.
Yes.
Yeah, you know, the guy who said it really wasn't his job to inform people what Obamacare was.
So if people didn't know anything about Obamacare, it was the president's fault and not the news reporter's fault who are supposed to inform the public.
You know, the people who turn on their TV and they turn to the channel you're on and they want to learn something about something.
And then after they turn it off, they're no more better informed about anything because you don't think it's your job to inform the people.
You think that it's President Obama's job to inform them on Obamacare.
And that's who Chuck Todd is.
And of course, it's fun to get outraged over him, but it's just one corporate talk.
I mean, it got worse.
I didn't know it could get worse than David Gregory.
They brought on three.
You know, when they fired Glenn Beck, they brought on five Glenn Becks.
They fired David Gregory.
They brought on three more, and one of them was a drinking problem.
And didn't they fire David Gregory because they also said he was too liberal?
Oh, sure.
And the news reports.
In the New York Post in the report, they said that, which is just ridiculous.
But when this announcement was made, it was weird.
David Gregory was looking in the mirror and he saw that he started to look like Edward Armoro in comparison.
Yeah.
And that's actually what makes me this whole thing is as much as we've made fun of David Gregory, he's not really the problem.
No, it's the whole culture at NBC News that encouraged him to be a tank and are having these other people who are no different from him.
And that's the one thing that's really haunting about Chuck Todd.
Chuck Todd is fairly smart.
He's very hip to the political process.
And we've heard him off the record.
You know, when McCain was babbling nonsense, he recognized it.
And yet when the cameras are on, he'll play along with it, even when they are outright lying and he knows it.
Do it just so he won't upset the establishment.
So you're talking.
They're saying what these politicians are saying, it insults his intelligence, but he's willing to report it and insult the intelligence of his audience.
So you're talking about that video clip we played on the show a couple of weeks ago where the cameras didn't know they were on.
Their mics were hot and they're waiting to go live on television.
They're at a press conference and Chuck Todd and a couple other news people were talking about how out of their mind crazy Jet John McCain was being over ISIS and Ukraine and everything else.
And they're all making fun of him.
And yet when the camera comes on, they're like, they give him gravitas, they give him respect.
And nobody, they don't ever say that.
They don't ever say, hey, discount this guy because he's a knucklehead.
They put him on their show and say, listen to him.
He has a valid point of view, which is, again, what I say was wrong with the mainstream media.
They pretend that neutrality is the same as objectivity.
You can be objective about a fact and have a reaction to a fact.
Like, hey, global warming is a fact, and maybe we should do something about it.
Being neutral is going, hey, global warming, is it a fact?
I don't know.
This guy says it's not.
That guy says it is.
Is it?
I don't know.
I'm neutral.
That's not being objective.
That's being brain dead.
That's not being a journalist.
But that's what they think journalism is: is being neutral.
Oh, look, this is what the guy on the right said.
This is what the guy on the left said.
What's the truth?
I guess we'll never know.
And so that's exactly what they're doing, and they're doing it all the time.
Well, it's also easier to do it like that.
You're just reporting the other side's press reports.
You know, if Luke Russert was a conscientious journalist, if he really did his job, it was obvious that he was striving to be a better reporter.
No one would be snarky that he's Tim Russert's kid.
No one would care.
No one would care.
But because he is just literally reporting what the two sides say, and that's it.
And his job is done.
This is, he is a demonstration not only that NBC is a nepotism mill, but of just what contemporary TV reporting is like.
Yes, anything to add to that, Frank?
Well, he's, Tim Russia, Luke Russert has also never, that I know of, actually broken a story.
Never.
Never broken a story ever.
In his daily work that I've seen of him on MSNBC, he is doing something that anyone can do that doesn't all you need is a computer to look at what people are saying on websites and then just repeat it on the air.
And that's all he does.
And I don't think, you know, I don't think Luke Russert will ever live up to his father.
In other words, I never think he'll be as overrated as his father.
And boy, was he overrated.
Boy, was I mean, we all overrated.
Frank, what did Dick Cheney say about going on Meet the Press?
Dick Cheney's press, head of his press department said this is a quote.
This is a good format for us where we can control the message.
Control the message.

Guess what we're going to kick off the second half with our talk we had with Luke Russert?
That's right.
He calls in and we talk to him all about what's happening at Meet the Press.
What else?
Who else calls in later on the show?
Well, we talk about John McCain.
Coming up, we got Joan Rivers.
We talk to her.
We revisit our interview with Joan Rivers.
Plus, Arnold Schwarzenegger calls in.
Have you heard he's back in the news?
And it's not in a good way.
So he calls in.
All right, so let's get back to the studio where I'm joined by everybody that you already know.
And Luke Russert's calling right now.
Joining us right now is MSNBC correspondent.
And this is big news.
The soon-to-be regular Meet the Press panelist, Luke Russert.
I guess congratulations are in order, Luke.
Thank you, Jimmy.
At last, my struggle is over.
My two or three years of hard work has finally paid off.
Really, Luke?
Would you really describe what you do as hard work, buddy?
Jimmy, I can honestly say that being an MSNBC news reporter has been the hardest job I've ever had.
Luke, guess what?
It's the only job you've ever had, buddy.
Yeah, but I put in my eight hours just like any other hardworking American.
Really, Luke, you put in eight hours a day at MSNBC.
A day?
I mean, eight hours a week.
Yeah.
Jimmy, are there really people who work eight hours a day?
Maybe in Bangladesh, but I've never heard of that happening here in America.
Dude.
Okay, Luke, with all due respect, you're a bit out of touch, buddy.
Do you really think you're qualified to be the host of Meet the Press or on it?
It's not about being qualified, Jimmy.
It's more to do with the fact that it's my turn.
I mean, come on.
It's about time things start going my way.
I've been stuck in this basic cable ghetto long enough.
I need to get away from the low-life riffraffs like Ronan Farrow, Two-Ray, and Crystal Ball.
That's a real name, you know?
Yeah, I know Crystal Ball.
That's her real name.
I know that.
Do you know what Crystal Ball stripper name is?
No, I don't.
What is it, Luke?
Peggy Noonan.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah, Luke.
Luke, that is.
Yeah, that's interesting, Luke.
But do you expect us to believe that you've had it tough at all in your life?
Oh, hell yes, dude.
I carry a heavy load, man.
Really?
You carry a heavy load.
Could you please explain that to us?
I almost pulled my back out the other day when I tried lifting the silver platter that everything in life has been handed to me on.
That thing is heavy, bro.
But listen, Luke.
Good thing I lift.
Yeah, good thing you lift.
But there's the point, Luke.
Don't you see that you're only where you are because of your father, right?
You're only there because your father was Tim Russert.
Jimmy, my dad, Tim Russert, to the grave, six feet under, right?
Yeah, he's dead.
He's buried in the grave.
Well, that means he'll soon be closer to Meet the Press.
Why?
Because I'm going to help run the show into the ground.
Okay, I guess that makes sense.
But Jimmy, I'm not going to pretend that I can live up to the legacy of my dad.
I just don't have the skills to misinform the public on the same level that he did.
Yeah.
But I take my new job very seriously.
Really?
You take your job seriously?
How are you going to prepare for Meet the Press this Sunday, Luke?
I'm just going to wing it.
A few minutes before we air, I'll look at my iPhone and see what's in the news.
But, Jimmy, here's where I'll display my real broadcasting chops.
Because even though I'll be putting that mobile device back in my pocket, I'll still be photographing it in.
Yeah.
Ring rings is there.
The news.
Wow, that is impressive, Luke.
But I understand that you usually go to church on Sunday.
Won't your new schedule doing the news on Sunday affect your church schedule on Sunday?
Actually, I'm not welcome in church anymore.
What?
You're not welcome in church.
Why not, Luke?
Well, in his sermons and priests, he's always talking about the love of God and all his good works.
Right.
But then I point out that Satan represents an equivalent view on the opposite side of the spectrum.
Luke, are you telling me that you've managed to bring false equivalency even into the realm of religion?
You did that, Luke.
Both sides do it, Jimmy.
Both sides do it.
Luke Russert, I really appreciate you taking time and joining us.
New host of Meet the Press.
Both sides do it.
Hey, look, I got to go get the gym, bro.
You're going to hit the gym?
Why?
Later.
Hey, you know what the secret to a good workout is?
What is the secret, Luke?
Making sure you're doing the same way on each side of your body.
Both sides pump it.
Both sides work it.
That's how you do curls, bro.
Yes.
Okay.
Luke, thank you very much.
Exactly.
Yes, thank you very much, Luke.
I appreciate both sides.
Do do it.
Luke Russert.

So I don't know if you heard, but the ISIS, they're beheading a lot of foreign journalists, right?
And in an attempt to terrorize us, to make us crazy and start to make decisions out of fear, right?
That's what terrorism is.
They want you to make decisions out of fear, which is the worst place to make decisions.
Turns out, Chris Hardball's been freaking out over this just like the terrorists want him to.
And he had a guy on.
Here's what he's talking about.
He can't get over.
Well, here, let's listen to him.
And what do you do to stop the beheadings?
He's like, what do we do to stop the beheadings?
The guy tells him, can't do anything.
You can't.
Well, you mean this president's going to sit there in the Oval Office and go to bed every night knowing that the next day, the next Wednesday, the next whatever, there's going to be another beheading.
He's this side.
How do you stop them from doing what they're doing?
Is my question.
Is there no way to stop them?
Chris, again, this is a bad thing that they behead a journalist, you know, but this is exactly what they want you to freak.
We got to stop that.
What do we do?
How do we got to be a little bit, you don't stop.
So now he just starts to start crapping his pants for absolutely no reason.
He starts making up other crazy scenarios.
Like, what if they start grabbing hikers?
Listen to what he says.
But that's not the problem.
There's all kinds of journalists.
There's probably missionaries over there strangling hikers.
There's a lot of Americans they could get their hands on.
What is he talking about?
There's a lot of missionaries over there.
They're strangling hikers.
What is he talking about?
Are the missionaries strangling the hikers?
People are not letting the whole turmoil in the Mideast stop their hiking.
Stop their what?
Their hiking trip.
Yes, people are still hiking over in the borderless region of Syria and Iraq.
People are still, there's a lot of good land up there to hike.
You get a good hike in.
You're a camping character, and you got a nice hike in, and then there's like a Starbucks at the end of the trail.
And Chris Matthews thinks we should go to war to protect all the hikers.
That's what this is about.
So this guy, so now the guy lays out the reality of the situation in a very sober, dispassionate tone, the kind we need here.
And listen to what.
True, but this is this broader problem with kidnapping and what's our response to kidnapping.
European governments pay huge ransoms up to $10 million per prisoner.
The U.S. and the Brits, we don't pay these ransoms.
Okay, so that's what that's the deal.
European countries pay ransom to these guys when they kidnap people.
The United States, we decided we don't do that.
We don't negotiate with terrorists.
We're not going to give you a ransom.
So this is what happens.
And if you're a journalist in a war area with terrorists like this, this is the chance you take.
So here's, and now watch, so that's pretty dispassionate.
That's pretty real, right?
That's a guy giving you some sober analysis of the situation.
Here's Chris Matthews.
We seem to accept that if you fall into this situation, you know, you die.
I don't know if you're getting at my point.
There's a nationalistic reaction.
This country's been attacked.
It's not a criminal act by one group of people against a couple of our people.
It's an attack on our country.
How can the president stop this attack on our country?
This humiliation, this taunting of him and our country by beheading people on national international television.
They're sending us pictures of this.
Chris, if you could freak out more about people sending the pictures of the beheading, I'd like to see it.
I mean, could he be more out of his mind right now?
In response to the beheadings, the only person who talks like he doesn't have a head is Chris Matthews.
Yes, yes, exactly right.
Very well put.
I just don't understand why he keeps saying that he's being humiliated.
Humiliated.
Exactly.
That's a good point, Steph.
That's why I've originally got this clip because he keeps saying we're being humiliated.
What?
I'm not humiliated.
You know, so his point is, let's go in and bomb them and kill a lot of innocent people.
And that'll save face.
Because we're being humiliated.
Because I don't feel humiliated.
Do you feel humiliated, Frank?
No, I mean, I feel, I just feel that this group is evil and they're doing a horrible thing.
But as we learned 10 years ago, the answer is not to invade the country and start a war.
That just makes things worse.
Right.
The fact that Obama might be thinking about things and trying to figure out what the best thing to do is and that it's going to take a little time.
I'm more reassured by that than if he was just doing what John McCain and Chris Matthews want him to do.
Well, let's go to some more sober analysis.
Here's John McCain, and I'm going to play his introduction, too.
He was on, I think, with Megan Kelly.
He was on Fox News.
And so just listen, she introduces him, and here we go.
It's going to be fun.
Senator John McCain joins us.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening.
ISIS, what are we going to do about it?
Kill him.
Okay, there you go.
Wow, that's that kind of sober, rational, thought-out kind of strategy I was looking for from an ex-veteran who's been wrong about every foreign policy decision in his life.
That was really in-depth, and I look forward to seeing John McCain on Tough Dynasty.
So he's out with Greta Fan Sustern.
Let's hear it again.
Here it comes one more time.
Ready?
Senator John McCain joins us.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening.
Isis, what are we going to do about it?
Kill him.
I can't believe that he didn't win the presidency.
No kidding.
I really regret not voting for him.
Yeah, I can't believe that's what we need.
Another guy who just makes knee-jerk reactions from the gut about invading other countries.
Good for him, huh?
Because that didn't get us into a bad pickle.
Oh, except this is the pickle we got in because of that stuff.
And there's never been a war that John McCain hasn't been interested in going to.
Go ahead.
And if you're concerned with the safety of the world and you want an intelligent perspective on how to make the world safe, why wouldn't you bring in the man who thought that Sarah Palin was qualified to be president of the United States?
Yeah, this was the guy who said, hey, if I can't do it, please let Sarah Palin run the country.
Yes.
And yet he's on every TV show to this day.
Every TV show wants his opinion.
America has got hubris.
Do you now?
When you were a young man, as a comedian, now, when I see somebody who I feel is better than me, I know how that makes me feel inside.
Did you ever, did you ever see someone who you felt was better than you?
And how did that make you feel?
Yeah, all one.
Now, that's a good question.
All the time, all the time, you'll see people that are just wonderful.
And you go, oh, shh.
Damn it.
Why didn't I think of that?
Why didn't I think of that?
There's a lot of that goes on.
And does it make you want to be, does it make you want to be better, Correct?
It pushes you.
Oh, I think it pushes you tremendously.
You say, well, I didn't think of that.
It was stupid.
Am I getting lazy?
Right.
And that joke was just sitting there.
How come I didn't think of that?
Yeah, exactly.
And I'll tell you what's even worse.
When you go to see somebody, you're doing the same joke, and you know they will never think you were doing the same joke.
But you say, I say just about the same thing.
And they go, yeah, right.
Stealing from me all, you bitch.
Now, you don't even accused of being a steal, a thief, right?
Oh, never.
No, no, no.
Great pride.
I came in a generation where the writers are suddenly becoming the performers.
Woody Allen started out as a writer.
I was really a writer before I became a comedian.
Jake Cabot, Richard Pryor, all of us were all.
So we had great pride in that we wrote our own things.
And never, never, would you think?
Meanwhile, comics would come in that were established and would watch us while we were in the village and would steal ourselves.
Really?
So, you know, there's great pride in saying, I thought of this.
This is mine.
Now, let me ask you a question about, you know, your comedy is abrasive in a funny way, you know, in a way that's provocative and it's supposed to, and I like that.
Now, how do you balance your need to try to please the audience with doing what you want?
Well, pleasing the audience is making the audience laugh.
That's your goal.
That's who you are.
And so if they're not laughing, I always call it kill your babies.
You say it three times in three different shows.
And if they don't laugh, you think, okay, not funny.
I mean, the whole thing is you want the audience to have a good time and you want to have a good time with them.
So it's very easy to say if something doesn't work, you don't think it's funny.
Move on.
But, you know, as somebody who, your kind of comedy, you know, like where you're trying, you're always pushing forward and pushing the envelope of comedy.
You're going to ruffle a lot of feathers that way, correct?
That I don't care about.
I think at least 2% of every audience should be offenders because that means you're on the edge.
That means you're talking about things that are making them edgy.
And if they're talking about edgy subjects, that's what people laugh at.
Nobody really laughs.
Oh, what a nice day, and it's a pretty day, and I love my dog.
That ain't funny.
It's a crappy day, and my dog just bit the old lady, and they're going to sue me.
Now we've got something to start talking.
No.
*Mario plays*
So I don't know if people are aware of this, but reports are coming out now that Maria Shriver, that's right, Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife, who he cheated on and had a baby with their maid, turns out she was also cheating on him at the same time.
Did you hear about this?
Did you guys hear about this?
I did not.
I did not know about it.
Turns out Maria Shriver was having an affair.
Guess with who?
Matthew Dowd.
What?
Yes.
And pretty, and guess what?
They were flaunting it, like right out in front of him.
Like they didn't keep.
Go ahead.
Matthew Dowd, he's like the Washington.
Is he like the Washington?
Yeah, he used to work in the Bush administration.
Matthew Dowd, bald head.
He's on like ABC this year.
All the time he's on with George Snuffle Up against his show all the time.
I know.
So I'm going to call Arnold.
I don't want to ask him about this.
Right?
Okay.
Hello.
Hello, Arnold.
Is this Arnold?
Jimmy Dwar.
Yes.
This is Arnold.
Hey, Arnold.
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
How are you doing, buddy?
It's good to hear your voice.
Not good.
What's the matter, pal?
My wife was cheating on me.
Yeah, I know that.
With my campaign employee.
Yeah, I know, I know.
Wow, right?
Yeah, that she is whack.
Yeah, it's whack.
It doesn't look good, right?
For shizzles.
The chunky is cricket.
What are you?
What are you for shizzles, Craig?
What are you saying?
I don't understand.
My use of innocent slang is as outdated as my movies.
Yes, okay.
Wow.
How could this happen to me?
But Arnold, she was doing the exact same thing that you were doing, right?
Am I wrong about this?
What?
She was deadly into quite a lot of maids.
No, no, no.
You were both having extramarital affairs.
That's what I'm saying.
Jimmy Dora, this is what rich people do.
We have open marriages and we fucked a hired help.
You know, from what I heard, from what I heard, your campaign employee and your wife really didn't make any effort to keep their affair a secret.
Is that true?
I know.
I totally got off on it.
What?
What?
This is what I'm worried about.
What?
The public cannot know that I'm into cuckolding.
Really?
You're into cuckolding?
Really?
You're into that, Ronald Schwarzenegger?
I see it in the corner, and I promise not to touch.
You would point and laugh at my tiny testicles.
Yeah.
How many times do I have to tell him it's because my automases are so big?
It's an African illusion.
That's why your testicles are snacked.
That's because of the steroids.
Okay, okay.
You know, I'm surprised that you were able to keep this secret for so many years.
Didn't Maria, didn't she stand by your side while you were trying to get re-elected as governor?
And she also defended you when you were accused of groping staff.
Staffords?
Sounds like a political marriage.
We had an agreement.
Maggie, you wouldn't talk about my love child, and I wouldn't talk about her bulimia.
Okay.
Wasn't that guy your wife was cheating with, a political strategist for George Bush?
Yes, I knew he'd fuck the country, but I didn't marry fuck my wife.
You could use that one.
Okay, I will.
I will.
I will.
Maybe, but listen.
Maybe the revelation.
Listen, maybe.
I will use that one.
I will use it.
Maybe the revelation surprised my wife will even things out with the public before more of my bastards call out to do woodwork.
Before your bastards crawl out of the button.
Listen, so you're planning on being a running man again?
Is that what you're saying?
Jimmy Dora, you think I'm a figure of derision to be impersonated by 1980s hack comedians.
Yes.
This is my life.
Yes.
This is my life.
Listen, I'm not trying to upset you, but what about the child you had with your housekeeper?
I write big checks, so I don't have to play weaker daddy.
Oh, really?
Really?
I was abusing my power over a subordinate.
No.
I was the victim.
She overpowered me.
You know, Arnold, I don't believe she overpowered you.
I don't believe that.
She was hard to trot, you know.
She would bring extra towels and these sorts of things.
I don't understand.
Extra towels.
What is that?
What?
Then one day she came to me.
She pointed at a big belly.
I said, maybe it's a tumor.
She said, historic tumor.
History tumor.
It's a baby.
But, Arnold, that is your son.
Even if you had him with a person who cleans your house, that kid is still your son, right?
When I saw the boy for the first time, he came up to me.
It was like I was looking into a mirror.
Uh-huh.
I was looking at my own self as a child.
Then he reached out with his little hand and put it on my hand.
I looked into his eyes and said, No archercife.
No autographs.
Are you kidding me?
That's horrible, Arnold.
That is horrible.
Oh, okay.
Listen, I that's okay, Jimmy Dora.
I need to go pump some iron.
You're still lifting weights?
Really?
No, my toilet is packed up.
Too much Venus needs.
You could use that one on your podcast.
Okay, I will use that one.
Thank you, Arnold Schwarzenegger, ladies and gentlemen.
So I don't want to pat myself on the back.
I mean, I want to pat myself on the back right now because Huffington Post today, headline in the Huffington Post, let me read it to you.
Ferguson Chief lied about why he released robbery tape report says.
Yes, do you remember when the police chief, the Ferguson police chief, I said, this guy, why is he so nervous?
Why is he scratching his head?
Like, you know, how the Italian mobsters always say, well, when a guy's lying, he has a tell.
So you have a thing you do.
You touch your nose or you blink or whatever.
So that guy was, he could not stop touching his face and his head when he was releasing the videotape of, or the so-called strong arm robbery videotape.
Still unclear what that videotape shows, but it's clear that he was lying.
And I knew he was lying.
It's like, wow, what did so I thought he was just nervous because he was lying.
Well, I was kind of on it.
The real reason he was lying was because there were no quote-unquote sunshine requests.
He said, the reason I'm releasing this video, because I have to, because there's so many sunshine requests.
So he was releasing that video, not because he had to.
Turns out there were no quote-unquote sunshine requests.
He was doing that just to concoct a false narrative to cover up for his officer who shot an unarmed kid who was jaywalking.
So why would you do all that stuff?
Why was he so nervous?
Why did he lie about why he had to release that quote-unquote strong arm robbery videotape?
Because he's lying.
He's lying.
So that's why he was so nervous.
I feel very proud of myself on the show.
We knew he was lying.
And so now it's been confirmed.
And, you know, now I want to see that guy answer some questions.
You know, that police chief was out there every day, twice a day, sometimes, sometimes three times a day, giving press conferences in Ferguson.
And then all of a sudden, on that day, Friday, when he was releasing the bogus videotape, well, it was an actual videotape, but it didn't have anything to do with the shooting.
And he was trying to muddy the waters, confuse not only the reporters, but everybody.
And so, but he was so nervous.
I'm like, why all of a sudden he's been in front of the press for five or six days every day.
All of a sudden, today he's nervous.
Well, now we know why he was nervous.
Now I can't wait to see, is there going to be a reporter somewhere that gets a microphone in his face or a camera in his face?
He is the police chief.
He can't be hiding, right?
The police chief can't go into hiding.
You're the police chief.
So I can't wait to see that interview of, hey, why did you lie to us about why you can?
Well, because I was trying to concoct a story.
I was trying to concoct a false narrative that would indict Michael Brown's character and that would make it okay that our officer shot an unarmed guy.
And he did it in plain view, in plain sight.
He did it with the whole world watching him.
That's how brazen and criminal the Ferguson Police Department is.
They're so brazen and criminal that they'll do criminality with every eye in the world on them.
I mean, that's why those guys would point guns at people that were filming them and go, I'm going to fucking kill you.
They don't care.
Those guys did not care.
Those guys wouldn't give their names to reporters.
They crack reporters' head.
Reporter, a guy who was his reporter, cracked his head into a glass door.
You're not moving fast enough.
What is this?
Are we in prison?
I don't even think they can do that to you.
Anyway, so again, I can't wait to see a camera.
He is the police chief of Ferguson.
There should be a news camera in his face somewhere.
There's got to be a news person somewhere in the St. Louis area, somewhere, that wants to ask that guy why he lied.
We all know that the iCloud got hacked, Jennifer Lawrence's nude photos, Kate Upton's nude photos, right?
A bunch of other pretty Hollywood starlets, nude photos have been leaked.
Rip Torn, by the way, he left me a message.
Apparently, he's been looking at them, those pictures, and he's getting a little, I don't know, a little too worked up over it.
Well, here it is.
Here's his message.
Hey, Jimmy, this is your old buddy Rip Torn calling to check in with you.
Sorry about a Hollywood drug tag update in a while.
I've been sort of busy over the past week.
Sorry, let me replace my ice pack.
That's better.
I don't know if it's been a week necessarily.
Maybe just a few days.
I've kind of lost track of time, to be honest with you.
Boy, he's really.
You know, the whole celebrity nude leak picture thing happened.
I've been busy.
I've been very busy since that started.
I don't know if it's day or night anymore.
To be honest with you, I'm sort of astonished at things that I'm still capable of achieving.
That way.
Well, it hasn't been easy.
Had to make sure that I was hydrated.
My vitamin levels were sufficient.
Electrolytes.
A lot of electrolyte.
And there's so many oyster cells on my floor.
It looks like there's a Martha's Vineyard driveway going through my house.
Okay, well, there's a lot more to that Rip Torn phone call.
He gets into a shame spy role that he describes in detail to us, which is hilarious.
Plus, we didn't have time to get to the libertarian.
It turns out libertarians don't know what libertarian means or anything about it.
Isn't that funny?
So we talk about libertarians and the premium content this week.
We hear Rip Torn, and you hear the rest of our Joan Rivers interview.
All right.
So there's a lot of stuff happening over in the premium content this week.
It's a great one.
And how do I get the premium content, Jimmy?
Well, you go to JimmyDoorComedy.com, you click on premium, you make your $5 donation a month.
That's all it is, $5 a month, which is nothing.
People tell me we should charge $10.
And I said, well, we'll see.
Right now, it's still $5.
It's been $5 since we started.
It's the price of a cup of coffee that costs $5.
I think it's a nickel a week.
I'm not a math surgeon, but it's not a lot of money, and you're helping support the show.
And I know some people are stealing it, but you know what?
Since we're progressive, lefty liberals, limp lily, liver-lily lefties, limp-minded, I don't know however Lou Dobbs refers to us.
So I say go ahead.
But everybody else who makes their donation to help support the show, that's the important thing.
So thank you very much for doing that.
And thanks to everybody who thinks of us when they shop at Amazon.
Okay, that's it for this week.
Remember, by the way, Don Quixote has submitted, you know, Don Quixote does those great political cartoons.
All the illustrations that are in the book, Your Country's Just Not That Into You, were done by the extremely talented Don Quixote.
And he sent me a he sent me a Luke Russert, both sides do it, BDSI.
Both, wait a minute, BDSI, BSDI, both sides do it.
That's it.
Okay.
So it's going to, that's going to, thanks to everybody else who sent in their ideas for that t-shirt.
Now I just have to find a guy who makes t-shirts.
I remember someone contacted me a few years ago about making t-shirts, and we never did it because this is not my strength.
The joke, the joke side of all this, that's really my strength, right?
Or the thing I'm most comfortable doing.
So all the other stuff, the business end, the putting this together, the technical end, it's really, I really need an executive producer to do all this stuff for me because it's like metal on metal to me.
Anyway, who cares, Jimmy?
Anyway, thanks to everybody who supports the show.
And thanks for it.
And if you can help support, please tell everybody about the show.
Thanks for spreading the word.
Okay, today's show was written.
That's right.
It was written by Mike McRae, Frank Conniff, Robert Yasimura, Paul Kozlowski, and Steph Zemarano.
All the voices, of course, performed by the one and only the inimitable Mike McRae, who can be found at mikemcrae.com.
