Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program, the Jimmy Door Show.
This week, Governor of Ohio John Kasich announced that he's running for president.
Let's remember what Jimmy Door show remembers about John Kasich.
Once he said this.
I don't read newspapers in the state of Ohio.
Very rarely do I read a newspaper.
Wow.
What was the question?
He puts a new twist on the old phrase, reading is fundamental.
Now it's reading is peripheral.
Come on, John.
Even Sarah Palin pretended to read newspapers.
But this does help explain why so many Republican ideals are more in line with comic books than newspapers.
Lucky for us, Governor Kasich has even more to say on this subject.
Just like I think former presidents have done in the past, reading newspapers does not give you an uplifting experience because it never really makes it clear that you want the Irish sweepstakes.
At time to time, people will send me articles and things I need to know about.
But I have found that my life's a lot better if I don't get aggravated by what I read in the newspaper.
Okay, let's hold our nose and unpack that, shall we?
Yes, that's true.
Several presidents have chosen not to read newspapers.
Several truly terrible presidents.
George Bush should not be your intellectual role model, John.
Reading newspapers does not give you an uplifting experience.
Wow, I never thought about it that way, John.
I thought a newspaper was there to report useful information that someone like me or say the governor of a state might find useful, if not crucial.
I didn't realize a newspaper was there to uplift me like a sermon or a Kate Hudson movie.
At times to time, people will send me articles and things I need to know about.
Really, time to time?
What do you do every day, John?
Don't you have a daily meeting with advisors?
Or are they also forbidden from delivering any actual factual information that might not uplift you?
Are most of your staff meetings about gossip and planning office birthday parties?
Do you understand what this guy just said, ladies and gentlemen?
He is one of the most powerful governors in the United States.
Said he receives his news in the same manner and frequency with which he gets links to puppy videos on YouTube.
I have found that my life's a lot better if I don't get aggravated by what I read in the newspaper.
And I'm sure the people of Ohio are grateful that your life is better.
I'm sure they're sitting around going, I'm out of work.
The schools are screwed.
I can't afford health care and organized labor just took its worst body blow in 100 years.
But the governor sure seems relaxed and easygoing.
Still, you got to admit, he makes it really tempting to be a Republican.
I mean, where else can you proclaim things that should be shameful and get rewarded for it?
This guy just proclaimed he doesn't read the news, and his base is probably cheering him.
Our last president thought the world was 6,000 years old, and he got elected twice.
Don't you wish you could do that?
I'm a chronic masturbator, and I'm afraid the monster might live in my closet.
Hey, here's a major position of power for you.
All right.
Okay.
All right.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk when you're teabagging.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
I love you.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's show.
I'm joined on the phone from New York City.
You know him, you love him from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
It's TV's Frank, Frank Connoff.
Hi, Frank.
Hello, there.
Yay, good to hear your voice.
In the studio with me, you know her from the blog The Miserable Liberal and the host of Comedy and Everything Else, it's our resident Latina, Steph Zamorano.
Hi, Steph.
Hello, Jimmy.
I'm a Mexican.
Yes.
Oh, you're Mexican?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm Irish.
I can't.
Also with us, comedian Michael Schertzer running the board.
Hi, Michael.
Hey, what's up, Jimmy?
Let's get to the junk before we get to the jokes.
You know, it's almost to the point where there are more videos of police harassing black people than there are episodes of Law and Order.
You know, it's funny, the Republicans turned on Donald Trump.
They finally all turned on him because, you know, a Republican who's okay with racism, homophobia, and misogyny, but not criticism of John McCain, is what they call a moderate.
A moderate, Frank.
A moderate lady.
First, John McCain, now Lindsey Graham.
Trump can make anybody look like a good guy.
Hey, Jimmy?
Yeah.
I was just watching Rachel Maddow, and she had a segment about how Chris Christie doesn't like Bruce Springsteen anymore.
Really?
And he was asked the quiz, who do you like better, Bon Jovi or Springsteen?
And he said, Bon Jove.
I'm so bad.
But what he really meant was Bon Bon Jove.
He's large.
He's a large man.
Is that a true story?
That is true, but she just showed it just now.
I don't know about you, Frank, but I admire the bravery of Donald Trump, who managed to elude capture by the Viet Cong by staying home and building shitty condos.
Very brave, man.
Very brave.
It turns out, you know what, I've always said New York City has the best pizza, the best bagels, and Trump is proof that they even have the best racists.
Is am I right?
It's true.
It's in the water, I think.
The GLP has turned on Trump because of his criticism of the war hero John McCain.
And, you know, at the next GOP debate, I hope the audience isn't so upset by Trump's McCain comments that they forget to boo a gay military vet.
It's true.
Remember that?
Did you hear President Obama?
Frank, did you hear that President Obama, President Obama is going to make a trip back to Kenya, and there's a lot of people who are upset.
There's a lot of anti-gay protesters that are going to protest him because Obama is pro-gay.
So when he goes back to Kenya, this is a true thing.
Anti-gay groups are setting up a demonstration by organizing 5,000 men to protest naked.
They're anti-gay and they're protesting naked.
Seriously, could they have thought of a gayer way to protest?
I don't think so.
They didn't want to organize a dick-sucking competition?
That would really stick it in his ass, wouldn't it?
Was there no way?
Frank, my question is, was there no way to set up a Mama Mia flash mob?
Well, you know, it's Obama protest and the biggest grinder meetup at.
Okay, what's coming up on today's show?
John Kashich announced his run for governor.
We're going to talk about it.
Plus, Wolf Blitzer talks to vice president in charge of Donald Trump Enterprises, and what he says just might surprise you.
Or will it?
Hey, Swift voting.
It's what all the kids are doing today.
Also, we're going to take a look at the Texas cop who decided to beat the crap out of a black lady for making an illegal lane change.
We're going to look into MSNBC's coverage of that.
Plus, we're also going to take a look at some white splaining from Ruth Marcus and the Black Lives Matter protest at Netroots.
Plus, a lot more.
We got, hey, we got phone calls today.
Harrison Ford calls in.
Lindsey Graham calls in.
Vince Vaughan calls in.
And Jeb Bush, Jeb Exclamation calls in.
That's all coming up today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
So we...
So we all saw what happened with Sandra Bland, right?
She's the young lady from Chicago.
She got a job in Texas.
She got pulled over in Texas for making an illegal for not signaling a lane change.
So right away, there's something wrong with this cop, right?
So the cop got up right on her ass.
She sees the cop.
So she pulls over to the right lane and let the cop go by her.
Well, the cop was just messing.
You know, have you ever coppered on your ass messing with you?
Well, that's what this cop was doing.
So the cop pulls her over, and then the cop completely brutalized her.
He was looking to pick a fight.
She said the wrong thing.
So I don't want to play it again because it makes me uncomfortable.
The cop was totally out of line.
And his name is Officer Brian Ensignia.
Ensignia.
So he's a bully.
He likes to beat up women.
He's, again, he's just another example of the culture of policing in this car.
They're not there to serve you, and you better respect their authority.
You better respect their authority.
It's like we're living in East Germany.
Right.
Like everybody's afraid of the cops because they could kill you.
And this woman was afraid of the cops.
I'm actually going to play this because I want to point out something.
So what happened was he pulled her over, and according to them, he was just going to give her a warning.
Now, he already got her driver's license and registration.
He already went and ran her stuff.
He already knows she's not a criminal.
She doesn't have a record.
He goes back up to her car with the ticket already written out or a warning, whatever it was.
All he needs is for her to sign it.
So he walks up to the door and he starts causing trouble.
He starts trying to bait her into doing something.
Watch.
Okay, ma'am.
You okay?
So he walks up to her and he's just sitting there and he's just staring at her.
He's just standing at the car door and he's just staring at her.
And finally, he just goes, You okay?
Like this?
Like, who?
What's the matter with you?
Just ask her to sign the ticket and leave.
Sign the ticket and you leave, officer.
That's not what he's doing, is it?
Wait, no, you.
This is your job.
She goes, I'm waiting on you.
This is your job.
And then he says, well, you seem very irritated.
I am.
I really am, but I feel like this cat is what I'm getting typical.
I've been getting out of your way.
He was speeding up.
Tamil name.
So I move over and you stop me.
So she just explains to him.
She goes, well, you seem upset.
He goes, yeah, well, I was just minding my own business.
You came up behind me.
I got out of your way.
And then you pulled me over.
And that doesn't matter because you're going to write me a ticket anyway.
Yeah, I am a little irritated, but that doesn't stop you from giving me a ticket.
So that's it.
So he said, you look seem upset.
Well, anybody would, that's exactly what she feels.
You wouldn't feel that way, officer, if someone pulled you over for not signaling when a cop got on your ass.
She's giving you an honest answer.
By the way, it's okay.
You're supposed to de-escalate.
That's what you're taught.
You're taught to ignore if someone has a temper or a hot head.
That's what your training is.
You're supposed to deal.
You're not supposed to escalate.
You're not supposed to be a bully.
You're not supposed to bait her into doing that, which is what he's doing.
And here we go.
And let's be perfectly clear.
She's not.
She doesn't sound out of control.
She's not out of control.
No, no.
She's letting the cop know exactly what he's doing is ridiculous.
She's being very reasonable.
You shouldn't base your demeanor on Jake LaMada enraging Paul.
Right.
Okay.
Go ahead, hit me again.
Go ahead.
Hit me.
That's what this is.
Go ahead.
Tell me.
All right, ready?
So she just told he has she, so then there's this long pause.
Here, let me back it up a little bit.
So, yeah, I am a little irritated, but that doesn't stop you from giving me a ticket.
Oh, person.
Are you done?
Are you done?
He says.
That's not de-escalating.
That's not the, are you done?
You asked me what's wrong, and I told you.
Okay.
So now I'm doing you.
Okay.
Okay.
So now he's just standing there and he's trying to think to himself, what can I do to mess with her?
He lost the verbal altercations.
Yes, he lost the verb.
Yes, he didn't expect.
He didn't expect her to dress him.
He didn't expect her to dress him down like she just dressed him down.
She just said, hey, you know, I'm a grown-up and I know what you're doing is stupid.
And you know what you're doing is stupid.
So I'm just going to let you know I know it.
And I'm not going to respect you for doing something stupid.
Right.
And that's okay.
That's okay.
You can do that as a citizen.
That's okay.
And so here's what he does.
You mind putting out your cigarette, please.
You mind putting out your cigarette, please.
Do you mind?
He didn't say, he didn't say, I'm giving you a lawful order to put out your cigarette.
He said, do you mind?
Do you mind?
Can I ask you one question?
Does this guy seem like he's afraid for his life?
Oh, yeah, he's afraid for his terrified.
Oh, he's afraid of getting lung cancer, that's for sure.
He used the word please.
I'm in my car, but I have to put out my cigarette.
She says, I'm in my car.
Why do I have to put out my cigarette?
And he's like, Bam, I got her.
Now I can make her get out of the car and I can rough her up.
Bam, I got her.
She did something that I don't like.
And then he goes, He goes, Now, come on, get out of the car.
Immediately, he doesn't say, Okay, well, I'm placing you under arrest or I need you to get out of the car.
He doesn't say what it's for.
He just says, Get out of the car.
And she is rightfully afraid of a cop who wants her to get out of the car for a lane violation.
She's rightfully afraid of this guy, and she doesn't want to get out of her car, rightfully.
I don't want to step out of my car.
Step out of the car.
Stop the car.
No, you don't have the right.
Stand out of the car.
You do not have the right to do that.
I do have the right.
Now step out or I will remove you.
He's not telling her she's under arrest.
He's not doing anything.
He's just brutalizing her right now.
He's bullying her in the most aggressive, scary way possible.
This is a woman.
And this is a grown man with a gun.
And this can happen to anybody else.
And this can happen to anybody, especially if you're black.
She didn't tell him to F off.
She didn't swear at him.
No.
She didn't.
She didn't swear at him.
She didn't.
She threatened him.
Like he says, she's irritated, which is very understandable.
There's nothing threatening about anything that she's doing.
Or illegal.
Right.
Or illegal.
This woman is behaving as if she has rights.
Yes.
Yes.
Exactly.
So it escalates, and he pulls out his taser.
I don't want to play the rest of it.
And so now I'm watching Lawrence O'Donnell, and he has on someone who used to be a police auditor.
So this woman says this about that stop.
Now, I don't want to.
No, so here's what this Woman says.
The detention for the traffic stop was fine, but when the officer ordered her out of the car, the only way he could do that is if he had a reasonable suspicion that she was involved in criminal activity, which he did not, or if he had a concern for officer's safety, that she might be armed.
He did not, or that she were perhaps under the influence of alcohol, which he had no such belief.
So the only reason he ordered her out of the car, and this is critical to this entire incident, was because she gave him two answers to two questions that he asked, answers that he did not like.
The first one, are you okay?
You seem irritated.
So she responded.
The second was a question, not an order.
Do you mind, or would you mind putting out the cigarette?
And she declined to do so.
Based on that, he ordered her out of the car.
And in my view, that was entirely unlawful, improper, so that everything that happened thereafter was unlawful.
So it was illegal 100%.
And this guy's a maniac.
And by the way, I have the affidavit that this guy wrote.
Here's the affidavit.
It says this.
This is unbelievable.
He says, I had Bland exit the vehicle to further conduct a safe traffic investigation.
Bland became combative and uncooperative.
Numerous commands were given to Bland ordering her to exit the vehicle.
No, first of all, that's a lie.
So that's a false affidavit.
He should be in jail because he didn't ask her to exit the vehicle to further conduct a safe traffic.
Jimmy, I just want to point out that they really cracked down on him.
He's behind the desk getting a salary.
Yeah, he's still on, he's still being paid.
So that's a lie.
He didn't ask her to exit.
He didn't say, I need you to exit because so I can have you sign this.
He was going to have her sign it right there.
He's standing there next to her door for how long?
It wasn't, he didn't feel unsafe standing in the street next to her car.
This was he wanted her out of the car because he was going to arrest her.
And then he lies on this affidavit that says, I had Bland exit the vehicle to further.
He didn't do that.
That's not what he said.
Put out your cigarette.
And she didn't.
And then he said, get out of the car.
He didn't say, I need you to come out of the car so I can safely have you sign this ticket over here, please.
And really, how many times have you ever gotten out of the car to sign a ticket?
Never.
Also, he didn't have her exit.
He ripped her out.
He ripped her out of the car.
Like against her will.
She was trying to call her a lawyer.
He says Bland was removed to the car, but she became so then he just goes on.
So he starts his affidavit from where he asked her to exit the car.
He skips all that other stuff.
So that's not what happened.
And he lied.
So that's a lie.
But you know what?
It doesn't sound as good to say she was disrespectful, so I had to choke a bitch.
So I'm, you're right, Michael.
So I'm watching the next program that came out after Lawrence O'Donnell was all in with Chris Hayes.
Now, Chris Hayes used to be my second favorite guy over there, right?
At MSNBC.
And I don't know what's going on with his show.
And I'm sure if I knew Chris Hayes personally, he would be godfather of my kid if I had one, and we'd all be go bowling and we'd be great friends, right?
But I don't know him.
And I expect better out of him, right?
That's what I'm saying.
So here's what happened.
He calls this, he's got Adam Reese, who's a MSNBC reporter, who went down to Texas.
He visited the jail facilities.
And it seems like he's reading from a press release from the sheriff or the jail person because listen to his report.
She was brought in on that Friday afternoon.
The sheriff said that she was argumentative and combative, which you can see in the video from the dash cam.
So the cop, the reporter just said, which you can see.
He didn't question that or push back against it.
Apparently, he saw a different video than you and I just saw.
He was actually looking at it with the eyes of a Texas State trooper.
Yes.
Because the cop is being argumentated.
Yet the cop was...
She's being irritated and she's not obviously not happy with what's going on, but she's not, you know, she's not being argumentative.
No.
No, right.
So if I'm Clive Bundy with a gun.
Right.
I'm okay.
You're okay.
You're not argumentative.
No, but if you're a black woman with no power to fight back, then you're being argumentative.
What a piece of crap this guy is.
There was a story recently about a white guy who had guns on him.
He was reaching for the guns.
The cops managed to apprehend him without shooting him.
Okay, so there's, here we go.
Listen to this guy's report.
Yeah, the traffic stop.
And for that reason, they classified her as a high-risk inmate.
So they put her in that cell by herself so she would be protected and also several women in a cell across the hall so they would be protected.
Oh, really?
Because people need to be protected from this woman.
This is what this reporter on MSNBC is saying.
Now, we just, I just played you the clip.
Anyway, we're going to keep going.
We're going to keep moving.
It's like he's reading from a police report or a PR statement from the sheriff here.
And this is what Chris Hayes, listen to Chris Hayes pushback against this reporter.
Adam, a lot of people are watching that dash cam video and feel that the officer in question escalated things.
Obviously, she was not happy with being pulled over.
Is that officer, independent of what happened three years later, that stop that we see there?
So that's how Chris pushed back.
A lot of people feel the exact opposite of what you're saying.
What is wrong with you?
Is that a trooper, I believe it is?
Is he being investigated?
So is that, so that's his question.
Not like, you know, we all saw the tape and I'm going to have to disagree with the reporting on this one.
He didn't say that.
He didn't say, you know, everyone universally disagrees with you.
He didn't, you know who else disagreed with that reporter?
Including the Walter Connor Sheriff's Office, who have acknowledged that the trooper violated state rules.
They said the trooper violated procedures and the department's courtesy policy during the traffic stop.
He's been placed on administrative leave, they said.
So it gets worse, right?
So here's what's – One, violating procedure.
Apparently, he didn't tell her exactly how this would go, the whole process of being pulled over, and also courtesy protocol.
So he's so this reporter, again, is making it sound like, yeah, they're being nitpicky against the cop, but it's all cool.
He just didn't follow some, he didn't cross a T or dot an I. That's what they're making it sound like.
Instead of, he brutalized a woman for no reason for after a failure to change Lane's violation.
There's a possibility, Chris, this whole thing could be a typographical error.
There's more to this.
I just want to tell you, Chris, I've watched the video several times.
It's 52 minutes long.
It actually starts out.
He pulls over another motorist.
It's a student, and he gives that person a warning.
Okay, guess what?
That's not part of the video then, because that doesn't have anything to do with this.
You mean it's irrelevant information?
You mean an irrelevant traffic stop from someone else?
Why do you think they showed you that, Mr. Reporter?
Why do you think they showed the cop pulling over someone else and nothing bad happening in that exchange?
What you're talking about was Act 3 of another story.
Yeah, that was Act 3 of another story.
This is Act 1 of this story.
And here we go.
This reporter, Adam Reese is his name.
This is unbelievable.
He was going to give her a warning.
She might not have understood that she was going to get a warning.
So, did you hear what he said?
The person, the first video that they showed was of him pulling over a student driver, and he gave him a warning.
He was also going to give her a warning.
You know why?
Because the cop's such a great guy.
He's a good guy.
He pulled her over for Noel's signal on a lane change, and he's just going to give her a warning.
He's such a good guy.
So he's just like perennially wasting people's time.
Perennially wasting warnings.
He's like pulling them over.
And then he's like, oh, actually, you know what?
I'm going to give you a warning.
So this guy is trying to make the cop out to be the Boy Scout in this situation instead of the creep criminal that he is and a liar on his affidavit, by the way, and a brutalizer of women in general.
So by the way, this is right after we heard Lawrence O'Donnell break it down.
Chris Hayes comes out with this guy.
Go ahead.
So is the protocol meant to say, I'm going to drag you out of your car.
I'm going to force you to the ground.
I'm going to pound your head in the ground.
And then I'm going to imprison you for three days.
You'll end up dead.
Three days she was in prison for an illegal lane change.
All right, hang on.
There's a little bit more to this reporter.
Listen to it.
He says to her.
Listen, he gives that person a warning.
He was going to give her a warning.
She might not have understood that she was going to get a warning.
And I listened to it.
He says to her 15 times, get out of the car.
MSNBC reporter Adam Reese, thanks so much.
That's where Chris Hayes leaves it, Frank.
That's where Chris saves that cop, that reporter going, he told her 15 times.
What the F is wrong with that guy?
He's wagging his finger in that girl's face on the news.
And Chris Hayes lets it happen on his own show.
And by the way, he didn't say, I need you to step out of the car.
And what for?
He just immediately asked her, would you mind putting out your cigarette?
She says no.
He goes, get out of the car.
He went from put out your cigarette to, I will light you up.
Get out of the car.
Get out of the car.
He doesn't go, okay, I need you to get out of the car now.
Why?
He didn't inform her.
She's, and she's legitimately afraid because bad things happen when maniac cops like this guy get a hold of you and you don't have a way to defend yourself.
And Chris Hayes lets that garbage go on his show.
Chris Hayes should be apologizing for that for a long time.
But you know what?
I don't know if he can fit it in between apologies to Bill O'Reilly and Reince Priebus.
Exactly.
Or between showing an unedited Donald Trump interview.
Yeah.
That takes up three quarters of his show.
Joining us on the phone right now is actor Harrison Ford.
Harrison?
Yes.
Thank you.
Jimmy.
Yeah.
Jimmy's not here.
Listen, Harrison, you called me.
This is the Jimmy Dore show.
Oh, Jimmy Dore.
Right.
Sorry about that.
I got sort of cheat and showing on you.
Okay.
Harrison, have you been smoking pot?
That's a ridiculous question.
Of course, I've been smoking pot.
Okay.
Well, great.
So how are you doing?
Oh, pretty good.
I just wrapped a new Star Wars movie.
Really?
That's exciting.
Yeah, it sure is.
Did you see the trailer for it?
No.
That's really awesome.
And when I showed Han Solo with Chewy, I got goosebumps.
I didn't know that Han Solo was a character in this film.
It's really great.
Wait, wait.
You didn't know that Han Solo was a character in the new Star Wars movie?
No, I didn't.
I sort of associate him with the old Star Wars movies.
So it's pretty amazing to watch the trailer and see that he's in this film.
But why would you not know that?
I mean, you filmed the movie and you play Han.
You filmed the movie and you play Han Solo.
So why would seeing yourself in the trailer be a surprise to you?
What are you saying?
I'm saying you're Han Solo.
What?
You're Han Solo.
Hell, you're right, man.
I'm really baked right now.
I totally sleep.
Yeah, I remember now.
This will be my third Star Wars movie.
No, actually, episode seven will be your fourth Star Wars movie.
I don't think so.
Jimmy, I know a little bit more about Star Wars than you do.
I went to a comic con recently, and the last thing I expected was to run into Star Wars fans, but I did.
And they are very knowledgeable and told me all about it.
Apparently, it takes place in space or something like that.
Harrison, I know you smoke a lot of pot and your memory's faulty, but trust me, as of right now, you've been in four Star Wars movies.
Nope, sorry, three.
There was the first Star Wars, and I did a sequel, Star Wars and the Temple of Doom.
And then there's this new one.
So that's three.
What?
Yeah, what about no?
What about Return of the Jedi?
Weren't you in that Star Wars movie?
The one with the flying monkeys.
Wookiees.
I think they're called Wookies.
Oh, yeah, you're correct.
I was totally in that.
I played the talking raccoon, right?
You know, I got no idea what you're talking about, and I don't even want to argue with you about this.
Cool, I understand.
Say, do you have any cookies?
We have the munchies something on.
Harrison, you're talking to me on the phone.
I thought this was a political comedy show.
So even if I could.
Harrison, you're talking to me on the phone.
So even if I had cookies, I couldn't even give them to you.
Oh, you know what?
You're right.
That is heavy, man.
There are so many layers to the concept you just laid on me.
Harrison, if it's okay, I'd like to ask you about the Han Solo prequel that they're making about your character as a young man.
Oh, yeah, I'm definitely starring in that one as well.
I don't think so, Harrison.
From what I'm hearing, this movie is about young Han Solo.
Your point?
I can play this character.
As you see me when I portrayed Branch Ricky, he was like 70, and I totally pulled it off.
So that proves I can play younger character.
Well, Harrison Ford, I'd like to thank you for joining us on the Jimmy Dore show.
Jimmy's not here, man.
Remember when we did that, Vic?
That was the comedy bit.
Yeah.
That was so funny, man.
Oh, fuck me.
Okay, Harrison Ford, ladies and gentlemen.
So I wanted to make sure everybody knew this story.
We all know Donald Trump is doing well in the polls.
In fact, he's almost doubled Jeb Bush's poll numbers.
We're going to talk about that coming up in the second half.
But a lot of people don't know this.
About two months ago, I noticed Donald Trump started using our Amazon.com link when he bought stuff for his hair.
Yeah, he uses, I also use it when I buy stuff from my hair.
I buy stuff from my hair through Amazon.
And I don't know.
He's creaming them in the polls.
So is there a connection between using the Jimmy Door show Amazon link when he buys stuff from Amazon and creaming the rest of the Republican field?
I think so.
So thanks to everybody.
The next time, hey, not encouraging you to use Amazon, but if you're going to buy something from Amazon, why not have some of the money go to a good cause?
Swing by JimmyDoorComedies.com.
You click on our Amazon box on the front page, and then when you buy something, they send us money.
It's just that simple.
All right.
Thanks for everybody who does that, especially Donald Trump.
Now let's get back to the second half.
Welcome back to the Jimmy Doer show.
Coming up in the second half, we got phone calls from Vince Vaughan, Lindsey Graham, Jeb Bush.
We're going to talk about the double standard when it comes to bashing someone's war record.
But right now, let's go to our phone call from Lindsey Graham.
You know, Donald Trump gave everybody Lindsey Graham's personal phone number.
And anyway, so let's get to that phone call with Lindsey right now.
Go away, leave me alone.
Hello?
Just go away.
Don't call me anymore.
Senator Graham.
Who is this speaking?
This is Jimmy Dore.
Jimmy, it's you.
Sorry for raising my voice.
I haven't told you yet, but I'm going to get a number change.
Oh, how are you doing, Senator Graham?
Senator Graham, isn't that a little formal?
Call me Lindsey.
Jimmy, call me Lindsay Thursday Friday.
Okay.
Okay, Senator.
You know, I heard you making comments about Donald Trump in the media.
That man is a jackass.
He's a big old ticket.
He's played a grit that don't hold their heat.
Buttermilk biscuit without the butter.
Is it true you wanted Trump to get you on Fox and Friends?
Why did you need Donald Trump to get you on Fox and Friends?
I have always depended on the kindness of hotel managers.
Trump also publicly disparaged Senator John McCain.
What he said about Johnny was just horrible.
I'm so, so, so, so, so, so upset.
I am damned angry.
Push my mouth, baby Jesus.
Mercy.
You sound upset.
I've been crying under my blanket all night.
My Dorothy and Toto blanket.
Trump did make the point that you're polling at about 0%, and you may not even be on the debate stage.
Do you have any chance of becoming president?
I'm just as happy being on the bottom of the ticket.
Okay.
All right.
Listen, you've been speaking out against the Iranian nuclear agreement, too.
It's the worst thing that ever happened since the Emancipation Proclamation.
Listen, Lindsay, the Iranian deal allows us to monitor Iran's nuclear activity and inspect their military stockpiles.
Isn't that better than what we have going on right now or before?
It's not enough just to inspect their missiles.
You have to penetrate deep into their arsenal.
You have to grab their weapons, maintain intense eye contact, as you tell them to stop being bad boys.
Okay, listen, I don't see how diplomatic negotiations are bad.
Please, Timmy, I hate it when we argue.
Why do I have a turtleneck on in summer?
Oh, right.
I'm not wearing one.
Okay.
Senator, I guess I should let you go.
Would you rather be talking to Rick Perry?
No, no, no, no.
Are you thinking about Rick Perry right now?
I wasn't thinking about anything except.
I'm sorry, I'm not Rick Perry.
Maybe you're bored with an old-fashioned sing like me.
He's disco-tech and I'm Cabaret.
He's ABBA and I'm Ethel Murman.
Okay, no, Senator, I accept for you for who you are.
Oh, do you really mean that, sweet Jimmy?
Of course I do.
Aren't you as sweet as molasses?
Speaking of molasses, I'm late for my colonic.
Bye, y'all.
Use my new contact info.
I will, Senator.
I'm the South will rise at noon on Granda.
Okay, Lindsay Graham.

So I don't know if you've been enjoying the hypocrisy of the Republicans being outraged at someone attacking a veteran as much as I have.
But first, let's listen to Jeb Bush get all upset that Donald Trump attacked John McCain's war record.
This is a legitimate hero that has served his country in lots of ways.
And Mr. Trump knows that.
He should just apologize.
I think we'll probably move it on to the next thing.
Next week, there'll be another one of these.
So that's Jeb Bush.
Frank, do you remember the guy?
Do you remember the guy who was trying back in 2000 who was trying to win the Republican primary in South Carolina?
So he told racist white Christians in South Carolina that John McCain had a black baby.
I believe that that was a man named Carl Rowe who was working for a man named George W. Bush.
Yeah, right?
Remember that?
And then remember that he was the same guy who swift voted John Kerry's Purple Heart Service?
Turns out his brother is really upset when people Do that to Republicans.
So that's called phony outrage, what Jeb Bush did.
He would just as soon piss in a veteran's mouth if he thought it would help him win South Carolina.
Yeah, he'd be R. Kelly to win South Carolina.
Yes, he would be R. Kelly to win South Carolina.
And the thing that I don't, the thing that bothers me is that the universal condemnation of Donald Trump coming after John McCain.
But everyone has amnesia about what happened during 2004.
It was barely 11 years ago.
It was when the only Democratic war hero in my life was the nominee for president, and they completely attacked his record.
John Kerry won the Silver Star for bravery.
He got three purple hearts.
And this is what Bob Dole said about him.
The three purple hearts are never bled that I know of.
I mean, they're all superficial wounds.
So that, did you hear that, Frank?
Yeah, but you know what, Jimmy?
To be fair, play the tapes of all the Republicans who condemned him for saying that.
No, come on.
Play those.
Remember all the Republicans who condemned him for saying nobody.
So Donald Trump is only doing exactly.
He didn't even do as bad as what Bob Dole did.
And they're all calling Donald Trump a buffoon for doing that.
I'm sorry, but that's right out of the Republican playbook.
Are you kidding me?
And every cable news network had segments where the Swiftboat people were treated as respected guests.
Yes, of course they were.
Bob Dole was treated as a respected guest.
He went on and Swiftboated him.
And listen to this.
So as they're talking about this, it's driving me nuts to watch the TV news and them completely ignore the fact that this was done on a much bigger and worse scale by George Bush.
And the whole goddamn party did it.
And it was a months-long campaign involving TV commercials and TV appearances.
In fact, Frank, you're right.
That's a good point because it was on the radio and it was on the TV commercial.
So TV stations sold ad.
They made money off of people besmirching a war hero's record who was running for president.
TV stations made a lot of money off of that.
They didn't go, no, we're not going to run this.
They ran it.
And so did radio stations because they're all owned by right-wingers.
And nobody cares.
There's no such thing as bad taste when a Republican does it to someone else.
But when it's done to a Republican, the corporate media goes crazy.
And they pretend that the Republicans didn't do it before.
Here's Dana Bash on State of the Union with Jake Tapper.
Listen to this.
You know, historically, you just don't go there.
You don't go there against any veteran.
You certainly don't go there against somebody who was, you know, effectively, you know, in a box for five years.
And, you know, Don McCain can't even lift his arms.
He was tortured.
Because he was tortured and because his bones didn't heal right after his plane crashed.
Having said that.
If he was a Democrat, it would be okay.
Right.
And don't forget, it's not just John Kerry, Max Cleland.
Yes.
The senator from Georgia, who they did a commercial where his face morphed into Osama bin Laden.
Yes, they did.
The guy who lost three limbs.
Two legs and an arm fighting for our country.
And they said that he's a sympathizer with Osama bin Laden.
Right.
So it's actually, I'm sorry, Dana Bash.
There's lots of precedents.
There's a lot of precedents to that and a lot of precedents.
And nobody would bring this up.
And then Jake Tapper actually did bring this up.
He had an anonymous Republican on.
I don't know who never saw.
I watched TV news 25 hours a day.
I never saw this Republican.
I never heard of him.
This is the guy Jake Tapper decides to bring this up to.
And here's what he says.
Bob Dole went on to later kind of walk those comments back a little.
But is there a double standard here?
So he played Bob Dole.
He played Bob Dole saying that, which I was shocked.
I was like, yeah, it was cheering.
Thank you, Jake Tapper.
I wish you had a real Republican on who someone knew.
Our Republicans, they say there's no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably.
Well, unless you're a Democrat.
So he says it.
And by the way, he says it in the week.
Did you hear how he said it?
Yeah, he said, and where's the tape of Bob Dole walking those comments back?
I don't think that exists.
Yeah, I never saw that tape of him walking those comments.
But did you hear how mealy-mouthed he kind of put it?
Well, unless you're a Democrat.
He doesn't go, you guys are doing the exact same thing.
You don't think we're going to catch you on this hypocrisy?
That's the question you should have asked.
You don't think we're going to catch you on this hypocrisy?
What you did was way worse.
But that's not how he says it.
How does he say it?
Is there a double standard here?
I don't know.
Is there?
I can't tell if there is.
I don't know if there's a, Michael, I can't tell if there's a double standard because you guys did way worse, but it was a Democrat.
So I don't know if that qualifies.
He does that hipster thing where his inflection implies that everything's a question.
Yes.
Is that a question?
Is that a question?
Are you asking or telling?
Okay.
Kind of walk those comments back a little, but is there a double standard here?
Are Republicans, they say there's no place in our party or our country for comments that disparage those who have served honorably?
Well, unless you're a Democrat.
Could you be weaker?
You know, he's afraid he's going to get in trouble because we have to remember that when CNN is putting together a news broadcast, they are thinking 100% about ratings.
That's all they're thinking about.
And they think that they're still trying to get moderate Republicans to watch them.
They're still trying to be that place.
We're in the center.
We're not biased.
Come to us for straight news.
So that's what this is.
He can't offend Republicans.
You can offend Democrats all day, by the way.
And Democrats do it to their base.
The media does it to the Democrats.
Everybody does it to the liberals.
Nobody respects them.
They don't fear them.
Nobody respects them.
Everyone craps on them, condescends to them.
But conservatives, you got to be, they're very touchy.
They're very touchy.
And let's listen to this guy's response, by the way.
Here's the no-name Republican.
And let's see what he has to say about the hypocrisy of them.
You don't criticize anybody's service.
You know, someone that's willing to go overseas, put their lives in harm's way in order for all of us to sleep well at night.
You don't disparage that.
I don't care what party you're at.
And that was it.
That's it.
That's how he got out of it.
Yeah, yeah, but we're saying you guys did that.
Yeah, you've done it often.
You've done it.
Yeah, you do it.
You do it on a grand scale.
You get the media involved.
You have million-dollar ad buys.
You know, as mealy-mouthed as Jake Tapper was bringing that up, I was surprised he even brought it up at all.
Yeah, the fact that he brought it up at all was that this would be a slam-dunk case of catching people in hypocrisy if the media was worth a damn.
But they're not.
And he brings it up.
You know what that would be more honest is if Jake Tapper said, hey, if I ask you about Republican hypocrisy on this, will you still come back on my show?
Because I really don't want you to not come back on my show ever again.
Yep, you're exactly right.
So then He must have got a talking toot from somebody at CNN and saying, hey, you don't want to offend the right-wingers, buddy.
You can quit defending people.
And he's like, yeah, but I got to bring it up.
And they're like, bring it up, but don't mention it.
Well, how do you do that?
Here's how he brings it up.
This is the next day.
So the next day, this is how he mentions.
He's going to do the same story.
This is on Monday.
And here's how Jake Tapper covers it.
Let's be frank here.
It's not as if this is the first time.
So he's going to be frank.
He's going to be frank, Frank.
Okay, good.
Let's be frank here.
It's not as if this is the first time a veteran who entered politics saw his valorous record to be smirched as a campaign tactic.
With Neri, a complaint from some of those who are bellowing the loudest today.
Can you tell me?
I need a hit of acid in a math book to figure out what he just said.
Are you kidding me?
Can I get a protractor and a sentence diagrammer in here?
What did he just say?
Could you hear how he put that?
Listen to this.
Let's be frank here.
When someone says, let's be frank, you know what's going to happen as they are going to now pollute the wording of anything they're about to say.
And that's what Jake Tapper does.
It's not as if this is the first time a veteran who entered politics saw his valorous record to be smirched as a campaign tactic.
Yeah, you mean like in 2004 when the retired Republican Party did it and George Bush did it and Karl Rove did it.
And then when they did it to Max Clemey, are you going to mention that?
How are you going to mention it?
With Nary, a complaint.
Neri, a complaint from some of those who are bellowing the loudest.
Some of those who were, nobody even knows what you said, Jake.
And I guess that's the point.
Because he can point to this clip and say, look, I covered it without really covering it.
Because that certainly isn't going to piss off anybody who's on the right, who's watching that news.
And then he didn't bring it up.
That was it.
That was it.
That was all he said about it for the whole newscast.
That was it.
And this is a TV show.
They have an archive.
They could show tons of clips of the Republicans' hypocrisy on this.
But, you know, they could show all their Swift vote clips.
They don't want anybody to see those because the reporters and the journalists are complicit in all this.
Yes, they are, Frank.
They didn't stand up back then.
And guess what?
You remember during the convention when they all wore purple band-aids?
Right.
They were all wearing purple band-aids.
They were mocking John Kerry.
They're mocking, like, oh, he had a, he had like, he had just like a flesh wound.
Like, oh, he's got, he got a scratch, and they gave him three purple hearts.
But everybody is denouncing Trump for this, even Rick Perry.
Now, Rick Perry has, this is the great thing about Rick Perry.
He learns, right?
So remember, he had three things he couldn't remember?
So now he's smart.
And watch what he does now.
If Donald Trump does not apologize to John McCain, do you feel that that disqualifies him as a legitimate presidential candidate?
And as the commander-in-chief of this country in one word.
Yes.
One.
One word.
Yes.
That's it.
He holds up his finger.
He says in one word.
Yes.
So that's it.
He has to go three words.
He has to go two items three.
Oops.
Did he call himself commander-in-chief of this country?
No, no, him.
He said, and he would be disqualified as commander.
That's what he meant, that Donald Trump would be disgusting.
Because this whole thing, it isn't some minor thing that's not a big deal, like calling all Mexicans rapists.
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Which they didn't, you know, nobody made a big deal.
And by the way, Trump's birtherism campaign, which we all know about, was conducted in the media.
No one in the Republican Party criticized him for that.
And the night that Trump was at the White House Correspondence Center at the height of his birtherism, that was the night that Obama made fun of him, while at the same time, Steel Team 6 was capturing Osama bin Laden.
I don't know if you remember that weekend, but.
Yes.
But that night, Trump was at the White House Correspondence Center at the height of his blatantly racist birther campaign.
And he was at the White House Correspondence Center because he was a guest of the Washington Post.
Of the Washington Post.
He was a guest.
Wow.
And let me tell you something.
What I like about what Donald Trump is doing, Frank, is that what he's inadvertently doing, he's just playing high school politics.
He wants to embarrass people and be a bully and make fun of people who aren't nice to him.
What he's also doing is he's revealing how surly and ugly and gross and corrupt politics is in America when he gives out, hey, this guy used to call me to help get him up.
The Clintons came to my wedding.
So this guy, who's the grossest, creepiest guy they say he is, they're all in bed with them.
Mitt Romney had a press conference when he ran when Trump endorsed him for president in 2012.
He had to call a press conference for it.
That's how much they love Donald Trump.
By the way, he's leading in the polls.
He's 10.
He's got double the polls than Jeb Bush does.
And it's not because people don't know who Jeb Bush is.
What I love is that he's inadvertently revealing that all these people used to come licking his boots, trying to get money.
So he was actually the guy pulling the strings in the background before.
And these are the kind of guys who are pulling the strings in the background.
Guys like Donald Trump, guys who, this is who really controls these guys.
And he shows how weak these guys are.
Lindsey Graham has to call.
Can you help me get on Fox and Friends?
Yeah, it was a total power play.
But it was so beautiful.
And that's what's really, he's really revealing, you know, he's the monster Fox News made.
He really is.
I saw that as a headline somewhere.
He's the monster.
He's the Frankenstein.
And he's the quintessential.
He's what people, he's what the right-wingers were hoping Chris Christie was going to be.
Right.
You know what I think?
I really do believe this.
Just off of the photo with the Clintons at Trump's wedding, I think they're in collusion together.
That the Clintons have him running to do this to make the Republicans look bad?
That's because he is.
I wouldn't doubt it.
He is wiping the GOP out with all of this.
He is penetrating everybody.
Yeah, I don't believe that it's a plot and that it's all planned by the Democrats, but it might as well be.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hi there, Jimmy.
This is Governor Jeb Bush.
How the heck are you?
Oh, hey, Governor.
I'm doing well.
How about yourself?
What are you up to?
Oh, you know, Jimmy just still sort of in the process of dusting off the old Bush family political machine, seeing if the old rascal can still tick.
Uh-huh.
You know, and checking the gears and the oil level and whatnot, you know.
For other families, I guess it would be akin to an old grandfather clock that's lovingly handed down from generation to generation.
But for us Bushes, it's, you know, a giant political machine.
Right.
Good analogy, I guess.
But we do have a rather sizable collection of handsome antique clocks in our family as well, also, to be clear.
Okay, Governor, listen, I wanted to ask you about your comments regarding Donald Trump.
Oh, yeah, that crazy bird.
He's really taking A lot of the spotlight these days, isn't he?
Yeah, he is.
Damn near, damn near all of it, really.
Yeah, you're offended by his comments regarding John McCain, right?
Well, Jimmy, I don't think it's too much of a controversial statement to say that John McCain is just simply a war hero for crying out loud.
I mean, no matter what you may or may not agree with regarding his politics, that kind of divisive language for Mr. Trump is just beyond the pale and not constructive to the Republican Party.
I mean, a pretty solid plank on our platform is that we applaud and appreciate the service of all Americans who've put their lives on the line for freedom.
Oh, really?
All of them?
Absolutely, Jimmy.
Even John Kerry?
Even John.
Okay, wait, hold up.
What's happening right now?
What's happening is I'm calling you out for your 2005 letter, applauding the efforts of servicemen who were involved in the swift voting of then-candidate John Kerry.
No, in that letter, I was thanking a man for his service.
That's it.
But also, specifically his quote, willingness to stand up to John Kerry, which at the time meant questioning Kerry's competence and bravery as a soldier.
Oh, okay.
Look.
Kind of got that one.
I kind of got you on that one, didn't I?
No, no, you haven't.
Not yet.
I'm figuring this out.
Right.
Okay, got it.
Check this out.
The veterans against Kerry, the fact that they called Kerry out for what he did in Vietnam, that to them was a virtual extension of their military service.
See?
Crafting the narrative of their service, which included calling Kerry an anti-war coward, is in itself a part of their service.
So me praising the Swiftboat gentleman for going after Kerry back in 04 is technically included under the umbrella of thanking people for their service.
Yeah, give me a break, Jeb exclamation.
I'll tell you what, Jimmy, thanking people for their service is like the Swiss Army knife of American politics.
It can be used to do so many things.
All sorts of, you know, crappy sentiments could be expressed using that little trick.
Like, hey, I'm just thanking service.
What did I do?
Looks like that old Bush political machine's up and running, huh, Jeb?
Oh, Jimmy, is it ever?
But, you know, this sort of trickery and backpedaling is just part of the deal when you have a blowhard bozo like Trump taking all the oxygen out of the room.
Are you worried that he is way ahead in the polls above all of you guys?
No, not at all, Jimmy.
I'm more worried about the long-term damage he's going to be doing to the party and the overall tone he'll be setting for 2016.
But he's not going to be in the race long.
Yeah, really?
What makes you so certain?
Well, he'll get bored of campaigning, first of all.
He'll find another shiny object that he wants to destroy down the line and just stop showing up, probably.
You know, there's a Nikki Minaj Taylor Swift dust up on Twitter is probably getting his attention at the moment.
Okay.
Also, that hair is dooming him.
Oh, yeah, everybody makes fun of that como for sure.
But is that really going to be a political deal?
Oh, for sure, Jimmy.
One big gust of wind and candidacy is over.
You notice he hasn't campaigned in Chicago yet.
We Bushes never lose our hair.
And that's something I think, you know, that we're all very proud of.
Bush 2016, bring the wind.
Okay, I don't think an accident of genetics is going to factor into who wins the nomination, Governor.
Accident?
Jimmy, no offense, but you are being a little naive.
Really?
How so?
Look, Jimmy, my grandfather, Prescott Bush, made a deal with an interdimensional Babylonian demon named Bezarov during the science of the 1920s.
You know, the occult was really popular with wealthy wasps back then.
That neither he nor none of his progeny would ever grow bald.
He knew the importance of this.
He really, really had foresight into where the political landscape was going at the time.
What in God's name are you talking about, Jeb exclamation?
Well, you have to understand that just before that, women got the right to vote in this country.
And he knew that good hair was going to have is going to be a political must going forward.
No more of these, you know, character actor, Paul Giamatti-looking gentlemen like our founding fathers were ever going to be president ever again.
That's just silly, Governor.
Is it?
Yeah.
Since women have had the right to vote, only one completely bald man has been elected president, and that was Dwight Eisenhower.
He literally had to defeat the Nazis to overcome his handicap.
Donald Trump doesn't quite have a similar resume to that.
So, you know, let's be frank.
Yeah, I hate to say this, but I think I see your point on that.
But also, you know, I'm afraid to ask, but what did your grandfather have to concede to the Babylonian God in exchange for a perpetual line of Brillo heads?
I don't think you really want to know.
Let's just not worry about that one.
No, no, I really want to know.
Well, Jimmy, let's think about it.
Where is Babylon today?
Where are its ruins?
Governor, this is Jimmy Doerr.
I don't know stuff like that.
Iraq, Jimmy, Central Iraq.
Oh, okay, Babylon.
Yeah, so there's this ancient prophecy that if the desert surrounding the ruins of the Temple of Bezaroth are seeded with enough blood and treasure, then he will once again take physical form and conquer the world through fire.
And the idea is if we, the Bushes, make that happen, then the Bush family gets to be his satraps or deputies on earth.
I mean, I know this just sounds bananas.
And Gramps may have been all hopped up on absinthe, but Aleister Crowley assured him that this Bezaroth character was the real deal.
And he had, in fact, spoken to that entity before himself.
So we've just been playing it safe by making Iraq a perpetual death zone.
And hey, so far, so good.
I mean, I'm looking at my hairbrush right now.
I don't see a single follicle.
Okay.
You people are pure evil.
Jesus Christ.
No, Jimmy, Bezaroff.
Anyway, that's what all the Iraq stuff has really been about, just between you and me.
And this is why I'm not really worried about Donald Trump.
Okay, wow, Governor, I think I can safely say this is the strangest conversation I've ever had.
Yeah, well, you know, point taken, I didn't really know what I was going to write about when I sat down to write this this afternoon, but I feel it was a real constructive dialogue, and we covered some really important topics.
Okay, that was Jeb Bush exclamation.
Hey, look at that.
Today's show.
A couple minutes longer.
We'll give you a little bonus.
You know what else is a little bonus?
Vince Vaughn called in this week.
Hey, again, what's going on?
Why do you fucking keep calling me?
I don't know how I fit into your show.
Vince, you're my favorite.
What is the, what the fuck?
And it only gets better from there.
We ask him about what's the deal with True Detective, and now he's taking the criticism that he's the guy screwing everything up.
We also ask him about Donald Trump.
Of course, he's a fan of Donald Trump, but he gives us some good reasons.
Vince Vaughn's got a lot of hilarious stuff to say.
Plus, we didn't get to it on today's show.
Donald Trump has an executive vice president in charge of Trump Industries who went on with Wolf Blitzer.
And he sounds just like Donald Trump, but like even a little dumber and a little Guido-y more.
Is that a term?
Guido-y?
Wolf Blitzer asked the guy if he thought Donald Trump giving out Lindsey Graham's personal cell phone number was inappropriate.
First of all, I thought it was hilarious.
Wolf, not clear if it's inappropriate or not, has to ask confirmation.
And here's what Donald Trump's executive vice president said.
You know, I didn't see him do that.
I'm here as you in New York.
The spokesperson didn't hear it.
He was the only person in the country.
Didn't see it.
Didn't happen.
Didn't see it.
You didn't hear about this?
Well, let me get you on the phone.
Another guy that doesn't read his face.
Well, that guy ended up talking to Wolf Blitzer for about six more minutes and we break it down and it gets even funnier.
How do I hear all that?
How do I hear the Donald Trump executive vice president?
How do I hear Vince Vaughan?

Thanks for listening and thanks for spreading the word about the Jimmy Door show.
People write me.
They say, hey, I turned on my brother to you.
I turned on this.
Thank you for doing that.
I appreciate it.
That's what we need.
We need word of mouth, right?
Because I don't have any Exxon money like Chuck Todd does to help get the word out.
Hey, by the way, turns out MSNBC going to take a hard right turn.
They're going to go to the right.
You know what?
There's a lot to be said about why MSNBC fails.
And it fails because for some reason, they think people love to watch Keith Olberman, right?
Because he's a great broadcaster.
But then they thought, oh, liberals like really nerdy, uncharismatic people.
No, that's not true.
You know, I like Chris Hayes, not the most charismatic fella.
I like Steve Karnaki, not the most charismatic fella.
So, of course, it's a big corporation.
They're going straight into going corporate.
They're just bringing Chuck Todd over.
Chuck Todd.
Oh, boy.
Who you know is a secret Republican.
I don't know how secret it is, by the way.
Not secret.
So that's what we need.
We need a guy in support of the status quo as our lead journalist, political reporter in America.
Okay, so I don't know how I got off on that tangent, but we'll see you at the premium content.
And today's show was written by Mike McRae, Frank Conniff, Michael Schertzer, Robert Yasimura, Mark Van Landuitt, and Steph Zamarano.
All the voices today performed by the one and the only, the inimitable Mike McRae, who can be found at mikemcray.com.
And hey, it was great to see everybody out at that Bernie Sanders fundraiser.
I've done shows for Barack Obama fundraiser.
I've done all these other, these lefty fundraisers before.
And no crowd could hold a candle to a Bernie Sanders crowd.
No crowd could hold a candle to a Bernie Sanders crowd.
That was fantastic.
So thanks to Rick Macias for putting that together.
And, you know, we got rained out.
We're in the middle of the biggest drought in the history of California.
So they organized a fundraiser for Bernie Sanders, and it was going to be outside.
And it's rained all day and night.
So they had that scramble at the last minute.
They got it moved inside to another venue.
Anyway, it all worked out.
That's an exciting story about rain.
And by the way, I referred to Ruth Marcus's white splaining of that thing.
I got that whole thing came from this website called Crooks and Liars.
I love to go to Crooks and Liars.
They're great.
And that was the headline they had on Ruth Marcus.
So I don't want anybody to write in, hey, you know, the Crooks and Liars called it that too.
So I just let you know I love Crooks and Liars.
I go there all the time.
And that was from them.
They do a great job.
Okay, so that's it for this week.
