The Jimmy Dore Show!
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Hey, Jimmy, how are you doing?
It's Mitt Romney.
Oh, hey, Mitt.
It's been a while.
Why are you calling?
Well, I'd just like to extend an offer to you.
What's the offer?
To use my considerable influence to help you in any way I can.
What do you mean?
Well, if there's anything you want to happen, I'm offering to give a speech about it, and that will make it happen.
I promise.
Well, how does that work, Mitt?
Well, okay.
What's something that you would like to happen?
Well, aside from ruining the lottery type stuff, I suppose I'd like to double my listenership this year.
That's something I'd like to see happen.
Oh, okay, perfect.
All right.
Now, watch this.
Hello, I'm former Governor Mitt Romney.
I'm here today with some grave concerns about the state of the listenership of the Jimmy Dore show.
The quality of Jimmy's program is such that it deserves an audience roughly twice its current size.
I strongly urge all of my fellow Americans to wise up and double the current listenership of this fantastic show.
Okay, there you go, Jimmy.
You're welcome.
No need to even send a fruit basket.
Eww.
What are you talking about?
Okay, just for the sake of argument, Mitt, I'm looking at my numbers here, and we've had the same number of subscribers as we did 30 seconds ago.
Well, of course, Jimmy, it's not going to happen immediately, but you will see your numbers double this year.
All because I gave that speech.
You didn't give a speech, Mitt.
You just said something out loud into the phone.
Well, that's all it takes.
Verbalizing something helps manifest positive outcomes.
What?
Oh, Jimmy, I've been getting into the secret.
I'm a little late to the party on that one.
I'm usually late to the party.
Unless they serve alcohol, then I usually don't show up at all.
The secret?
Yes, it's great.
You just think positive things out loud, and then they come through.
Okay, like what?
Like, what have you done recently?
Well, okay.
First of all, I wanted a new dog.
So I visualized it, and then I went out and bought a dog.
So, ta-da!
That one worked.
Then, I wanted my pot roast to come out better than it did last time.
Oh, yeah, I should mention that I've been doing a lot of cooking in my spare time.
Sort of new to the game, but getting all right at it.
Not sure if Anne would agree, but you know.
Anyway, I've been perfecting this pot roast recipe, and I manifested, and voila, it came out perfect.
Just so tender.
It didn't even need a knife.
And thirdly, I wanted Donald Trump to stop running for president.
So I gave a big speech about it.
And now he's, you know, he's not going to be president.
Bitt, that speech accomplished absolutely nothing.
Trump is still in the race.
Well, hold on.
It doesn't happen right away.
These larger manifestations take a little longer to manifest.
Polls are showing that his numbers actually went.
Yeah, but you can't really look at the numbers in that way.
Apparently, you did nothing but galvanize his anti-establishment base by sticking your nose in the middle.
How about I galvanize you, Buster?
Look, this stuff works.
I'm sure of it.
So just sit back and relax and watch the Trump campaign unravel, or at least fall apart at the convention.
Bitt, did you really think that simply giving an anti-Trump speech would have any effect on Trump?
That you could just utilize some hackneyed positive thinking principle and simply will his campaign out of existence?
The scorn of establishment Republicans is what Trump thrives on.
Your speech only breathed more oxygen into his campaign, and you trying to stop him is only going to gin up support even more.
Okay, look, I'm sorry, Jimmy, but it sounds like you're engaging in some magical thinking here.
Mitt!
What?
Come on, Mitt.
What?
What are you doing, Mitt?
I don't know.
You really don't, do you?
No.
This stuff isn't working at all.
To tell you the truth, that pot roast sucked.
And I accidentally bought a monitor lizard instead of a dog because I forgot my glasses.
I'm going to go.
They're not even the same genus.
And yeah, the Trump campaign is completely unscathed after my speech.
I'm starting to think this is the secret business.
It's just a load of hooey.
I'm going to have to ask one of the Mormon elders about it next time we're baptizing people who died in the Holocaust.
But you really don't want to see Trump nominated?
No.
I may be crazy, but I'm not insane.
I object to him for all the same reasons you do, and everybody else does.
He's a terrible man.
Well, at least we're on the same page for once.
Exactly.
I mean, he's so repugnant.
He's inadvertently creating this coalition of the reasonable.
Probably the biggest tent, so to speak, in recent political history.
And we need to join forces to fight him.
And how should we do that, Mitt?
Well, I don't know.
Clearly, I thought I could take a leadership role in this, but I just can't.
Why not, buddy?
Because he's a super rich guy like me.
I only know how to take down poor people and women and facts.
His armor is made out of the same material as my weapons.
And that material is the financial misfortune of the socio-economically marginalized.
I have no leverage, no upper hand.
I see, Mitt.
Yeah, you know what?
You're exactly right.
You just aren't the person to lead this crusade.
I know, I know.
Maybe McCain should step up.
He was in wars and stuff.
The only Republican leader nowadays who was.
Trump will look weak next to him.
McCain will say, I was tortured in Vietnam.
And Trump will say, I'm a bloated, richy-rich little pussy who never went to war.
Same could be said about you, Mitt.
Hey, I'm not bloated.
But Yeah, good point.
That's why I have to stay out of this from now on.
I'll work behind the scenes.
Maybe I'll just hire a bunch of you guys to write some sick Trump burns.
Make some memes and put them on the internet.
I think people are already doing that for free, Mitt.
Really?
What a bunch of suckers.
All right, Mitt.
I gotta go.
I need to go too.
I have to go as well.
All right, man.
It was good to talk to you.
Bye-bye.
Bye-bye.
It's the Jimmy Dore show.
The show for 11 lefties.
The kind of people that are.
Bill Benchmitt.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to T-Wales.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's show.
I am joined in the studio from the Miserable Liberal.
You know where Lover.
It's Steph Zemarano.
Hi, Steph Zamarano.
Hello, Jimmy Dore.
Hola.
Hola.
Are you still here?
I am still here.
Donald Trump has not deported you?
No, not yet.
Okay, let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Trump scored big wins again.
Trump scored big wins.
Unbelievable.
And so he is not leaving the race anytime soon.
So congratulations, MSNBC.
You know, some of the Republican primaries, they split the delegates, but Trump is winning all the states that are racist take all.
You know, I have a feeling that a future TV commercial vision.
I used to major in advertising in college.
I have a vision for a future TV commercial will be top off your next lynching, grossburning, and church bombing with a delicious Trump steak.
You know, Cruz has Republicans excited too.
He has them excited that they might be able to stop Trump with someone just as bad and maybe even worse.
Doesn't it seem like a president Ted Cruz would spend most of his time trying to bust Ferris Bueller for skipping school?
Hey, Bernie Sanders won in Michigan, so let's be happy for that.
Bernie said, you know, his Michigan victory adds a complex and interesting dimension to the presidential race.
So MSNBC is planning on increasing its drum coverage.
So yeah, so Bernie Sanders won in Michigan, and now just watch his supporters try and spin it into some kind of victory.
Typical.
So I don't know if you caught they had a Democratic debate in Miami.
It's what I like to call, welcome to another episode of either one of these candidates are way better than any of the a-holes running on the GOP line.
Hey, here's a tip.
If you don't start watching a debate until an hour after it started, it goes much faster.
You know, I don't know if you saw the Democratic debate, but the centerpiece was the Flintwater crisis.
But the GOP debate already covered this when they barely mentioned it in passing.
You know, Ted Cruz, you know, the less I know about him, the more I like him.
Voting for Ted Cruz or Donald Trump, that's like voting for the lesser of two weasels.
Hey, Nancy Reagan died.
And, you know, Nancy Reagan's body was lying in state.
And as a special tribute to the Reagan legacy, her back was turned every time a gay person filed by.
Wasn't that nice?
You know, today, in honor of the Reagan era, I'm going to watch Top Gun and then not give a shit about anyone but myself.
And finally, I just want to make this statement.
I've come to a realization about self-censorship.
Self-censorship is effing wrong.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
We got a phone call.
Bill O'Reilly calls in.
He's, well, we're going to talk about it.
I'm going to talk about how Donald Trump humiliated Bill O'Reilly.
We're going to talk about the slandered media coverage against Bernie Sanders.
Can you believe it?
They're for the establishment candidate.
So shocking.
Also, Tom Brokaw's got some thoughts about Nancy Reagan, and he reveals a lot more.
What could that be?
It just might surprise you.
Or will it?
Plus, a Trump protester gets punched in the face and the cops arrest the guy who got punched in the face.
Just another day in North Carolina.
Plus, a lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
you you you So I don't know if you heard Bill O'Reilly got his kids taken away from him because he's such a bad father.
Who knew?
Who knew family, Mr. Family Values is kind of a jagoff at home?
Who would have known that he's abusive and he's a rageaholic?
And so it turns out in court testimony, his own daughter testified that he saw Bill O'Reilly choke his mother, her mother, and kind of drag her down the steps.
That sits in court testimony.
Oh, no.
Anyway, so a lot of stuff like that.
Turns out there was also a Bill had this psychiatrist or psychologist.
He hired, he was supposed to spend time with his kids.
He hired someone else to spend time with his kids.
Let's just put it that way.
So it's all very funny.
So he gets his kids taken away.
His wife left him in 2011.
Now he can't even have his kids.
So everybody was saying that Bill O'Reilly, when he interviewed Donald Trump after the debate, was a little drunk.
Watch Donald Trump.
This is how Donald, this is how you, how Donald Trump puts fear into reporters.
Watch.
Because he goes right after the jugular.
He goes right after the Killey's heel of Bill O'Reilly.
Watch this.
At guys like me when I ask you the negative questions.
Well, I think you've become very negative.
I do think.
Yeah, me?
Yeah.
Why would I do that?
I don't know.
Who knows?
you'll have to ask your psychiatrist.
But I think you've become very...
Oh.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm reading into it a little, but it's like it was just in the news two days earlier, right, about the court-appointed psychologist.
And maybe you should ask yourself.
So he's already got him.
And you see how Bill over laughs at it, right?
Which just shows you there's a problem, right?
So let's watch Bill Overlaugh at it again.
Yeah.
Why would I do that?
I don't know.
Who knows?
You'll have to ask your psychiatrist.
But I think you've become very negative toward you?
Yeah.
You know, Marania.
Yeah, the better half.
It's true.
That is not even close.
So what he's doing there.
So Bill O'Reilly is still trying to do this hackneyed joke of, oh, look, your better half.
First of all, that's so condescending.
Anyway, second, oh, not even close, right?
It's just all pretend bull.
And, but what Bill, what Donald Trump's doing is, oh, look, you know my wife, right?
Like, I still have my wife.
You don't have your wife.
He just brings up psychiatrists.
Then you know my wife, right?
And now watch what he does.
I'm going to get back to this.
And my boy, Eric.
I think I've been very fair.
And my boy Eric.
Bam, bam, Bam.
You see, my kids still want to be with me.
You still see I still have my wife.
You know, you had to psychiatrist take your kid away.
Bam, bam, bam.
Donald Trump is putting the fear of God into Bill O'Reilly.
You see it happening, right?
I'm not making this up.
Am I reading into this, Hank?
No, I think he's a master manipulator.
Master.
He knows where people's gillies' heels are.
He knows right where to go.
And that's what that was.
And you can tell he's really thinking this through because he's not making eye contact.
Right.
Trump needs the, it's too, it's too overwhelming to him to look into someone's humanity.
So he's staring off to the side, calculating, how can I fuck with Bill O'Reilly?
And you know that Bill O'Reilly's loving to do a stand-up interview with Trump because he's taller than him.
And that's how these guys think.
I'm telling you, you know, he's all excited.
Oh, I'm taller than Donald Trump.
Yay!
And you know what?
You know what bugs Donald Trump?
A short tie.
That he's not, yeah.
He's got the small hands, and now he's not as tall as Bill O'Reilly.
Yeah.
So does Donald Trump have his own style as far as this tie thing?
Because his tie seems to go down below his lying all the time.
I mean, it's his own tie.
It's a Donald Trump ties.
So let's see.
Now watch Bill.
Very fair.
You've been fair, but I think you get a little bit carried away with yourself, frankly.
Want to give you an example?
No, I'm not going to give you an example.
We're just finished the debate.
Come on.
Great reporting.
I mean, that's like something I would say.
Come on.
That's top journalism.
He sounds pretty hammered.
Pretty hammered.
Right?
That's what that is.
Come on.
Come on.
It just sounded weird.
It just sounded weird to me, right?
It doesn't sound like something you would say to someone if you're interviewing someone seriously.
That's supposed to be the next president of the United States, and that's how you're interviewing him.
Let's hear it again.
We just finished the debate, which I hear I just won based on all of the polls again.
I've won a lot of debates, but I really had a good time tonight.
All right.
When you are thinking.
All right.
That's it.
That's the end of the interview.
All right.
All right.
So I'm a little hammered.
All right.
All right.
So it's funny.
That is the meeting of the comovers.
You got to say that, right?
They're both hanging on with every by their fingernails.
They're hanging on to that hair.
And I say, good for them.
I'm hanging on to my hair.
I'm hanging on to my hair.
Hey, Jimmy.
What's up, you kale-kissing beat mole?
Hey, are my shoes over there?
Kidding.
Can't see on the down, Lowe.
Seriously, though, where are they?
They took them away.
You remember my Bonnie Bessie McDonald O'Flana Hannah Ann O'Reilly?
And my son, Connor, Aiden, Dylan, Daniel Sean, great-grandson of Glenn Gormley, Smirnwick, Neith Morrow, Thousand Oaks.
Where are they?
On the couch?
In the kitchen?
Where is everybody?
Hey, Jimmy, remember this?
Someone's in the kitchen with Dynu.
Someone's in the kitchen, I know.
Fee, fight, Philippi.
Oh, strong on it, old man, Zoe.
I guess that's politically incorrect now, right?
Yeah.
Well, let me mansplain a thing or two for you, Jew boy.
Bill O'Reilly is not for sale.
Okay, Dorrit.
You probably read that garbage my ex-daughter said about me under oath to a quarter-appointed forensic examiner that I choked a mom and dragged her down a staircase by her neck.
Let me get back to you on that.

Thank you.
So, Tom Broca, what hasn't been said about Tom Brokaw that hasn't been said about any corporate tool?
I like, you know, I like when the guys who bring me the news wear an ascot.
That's when you know you're getting the nitty-gritty.
And a pocket kerchief.
That's what I, you know, you see a pocket square and an ascot.
Like, oh, give me a truth bath.
So what's the voice?
What's the word on the street, Ascot?
So Tom Broca, so Nancy Reagan died.
Tom Brokaw was on MSNBC's Joe Ball, and he had this to say about a run-in with Nancy Reagan.
And I think it's very telling about the way journalists today, corporate journalists, view journalism.
So let's listen.
In 1966, when I just arrived at NBC, I was 26 years old, and I drew a lucky straw straw.
I started covering Ronald Reagan's campaign for governor.
And Nancy was kind of low visibility in those days.
And they were all concerned about could a Hollywood man become the governor.
And then, of course, I covered the first term and the second term and then the campaign for president.
And I got to know them well, but I was always a reporter, always a journalist, and they understood that.
When he first took office, I said something that was a little bit intemperate.
I said, you know, this whole business about him being a poor boy right after he got out of college, he had a really good job in Iowa, and he was a high-paid actor in Hollywood.
So Tom Brokaw just characterized him saying that, hey, Ronald Rorgan wasn't a poor boy when I got to college.
He was a high-paid actor.
He reported that Tom Brokaw is now characterizing his own reporting as intemperate, intemperate.
So he characterized his own, just that slight little pushback about Ronald Reagan not being poor, a poor kid when he got out of college.
And just that slight look.
He himself, Tom Brokaw, now describes that reporting he did, I don't know, 40 years ago as intemperate.
He told the truth about a myth of Ronald Reagan, and now he himself refers to an intemperate.
Why is this important?
Because we'll listen to the rest of the story.
Nancy really didn't like me saying that.
So I got a call immediately from Shim Baker and the others and saying, stay away from the White House for a while.
And I said, well, I'm not going to back off.
And they said, no, we understand, but just stay away.
The president doesn't care about it.
But Nancy is really out of tear about you.
About two months later, I got this call, and they said, you're going to be invited to a state dinner.
You have to figure out what you're going to say to Nancy in the receiving line.
I said, okay.
So I go down to the state dinner.
Meredith is with me.
We're in the receiving line.
And Meredith keeps saying, have you figured out what you're going to say yet?
And I kept saying, no, I haven't figured it out yet.
And I get right up to her.
And I said, Nancy, back to square one, just like that.
This is the photograph of that moment.
Wow.
It arrived the next day, this photograph, with the inscription, Dear Tom, back to square one.
Love Nancy.
That was so typical of her.
She put it away in a hurry.
She didn't want to have an ongoing feud with me.
And it was kind of the beginning of a different level of a relationship.
So that's Tom Brokaw.
He's telling a heartwarming story of how he was punished by accidentally committing an act of journalism.
He's bragging that Nancy Reagan intimidated members of the press for telling the truth and that he was the one who was intimidated.
This is what he's telling you right now.
Tom Bro, by the way, Tom Brokaw, the pioneer of access journalism.
If you wonder how Luke Russert happened, it's because Tom Brokaw is his real father.
He was told, get this.
So listen to that story.
He told us a small truth about Ronald Reagan.
And by what was that truth?
That Reagan was never a poor boy.
In fact, Reagan was one of the few men of his time to attend college.
And then after college, he did radio.
He became a B actor in Hollywood.
He was the head of the Screen Actors Guild, naming names during the House on Un-American Activities Committee, Witch Hunts.
Ronald Reagan named names.
He then became a representative for General Electric, going around their plants, giving pep talks and gold watches to retiring salesmen.
Yes.
Yes.
Not to mention his spokesperson jobs for cigarette companies.
And let me just say this.
Republicans claim to hate celebrities and think they shouldn't be political and they should just shut up and sing.
You hear that a lot from conservatives, right?
Oh, you're a musician.
Just shut up and sing.
I don't want to hear you talk about politics.
Point of fact, you can't shut up and sing at the same time.
And yet, Republicans also prove they're crazy for celebrities, right?
They love Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, George Murphy, Sonny Bono, Donald Trump.
Mark my words.
We will live to see a governor Victoria Jackson in my lifetime.
So there's Tom Brokaw admitting that because he did a little bit of journalism, that he wasn't allowed.
He didn't go to the White House for two months.
He stayed away from the White House.
Yeah, he's like, I'm not going to back off.
No, no.
But the nice lady said something to him.
So of course he immediately kowtowed and became their best friend.
And yeah, yes.
Because he took a nice picture.
And the fact that he's showing off this frame photo of his sycophancy, which is what this is, right?
To the people in power he's supposed to be keeping in check.
This tells you everything that's wrong with today's TV news reporters.
He's afraid to offend the wife of a politician that he's telling the truth about.
He's afraid.
Oh my God, I did something intemperate.
I told the truth about Ronald Reagan, and now I'm going to stay away from the White House for a little while.
He's admitting it.
And then, look, she gave me a picture.
She framed it back to square one.
And then we had a whole new meaning of, did you hear him at the end?
We had a whole new relationship, meaning I was nice to them.
I never reported anything that they didn't want me to report anymore because look how crazy she went.
He's admitting all this.
This is a photo of my journalistic integrity evaporating.
And he looks back on it fondly.
This is a story.
This is a beautiful story.
And they all gasped.
When he showed the picture, oh.
You're right.
It's such a beautiful story of deference that he even got choked up when he showed it.
Yes.
Yes.
He's saying, oh, look how great the...
What she did was, hey, assistant, get that photo.
Can you scroll this on it and send it to him?
I'm sure she was outside the hobby lobby and they open it.
She's putting it together.
She's all, oh, geez.
What frame's the one I should use?
It's nice to see Tom Brokaw after Nancy Reagan said that their relationship was back to square one.
Tom Brokaw also took his journalism back to square one.
You know, why isn't Tom Brokaw, just be honest?
The only reason he really liked Nancy Reagan is because her name didn't have any L's in it.
*laughter*
Okay, here it is.
All allegations against me in these circumstances are 100% false.
Oh, sure, I may have allegedly grabbed her by the neck, but that was only to toss her down the elevator shaft.
Uh-oh, big news there, right?
Lamestreamy's going to jump all over that confession.
Phil O'Reilly's house has an elevator.
Never apologize for your success, Jimmy Thor.
over.
Beep.
you you You've heard me say it before.
I got tired of standing in a drugstore trying to find an employee to come over to open a plexiglass box so I can do a little shopping.
That always took forever, but I don't do that anymore.
What do I do?
I go to Harry's.com and it takes about 30 seconds.
You can order your, you can order some razors right there.
And guess what?
If you use the promo code Jimmy, if you go to Harry's.com and use the promo code Jimmy, they're going to give you $5 off your first order.

They're going to give you three five-blade German engineered razors, and they're going to give you a handle and shaving cream for the special price of $10.
That seems like a good deal, right?
That's a three-year anniversary special.
They're offering you three different five-blade German-engineered razors with a handle and shaving cream for the special price of $10.
All right.
Okay.
So also, if you go over to Harry's.com, use the promo code Jimmy.

Music.
Welcome back to the second half of the Jimmy Door show.
We got a lot coming up in the second half.
We're going to hear some more from Bill O'Reilly.
Mayor Bloomberg calls in.
But right now, let's get back to the studio where I'm joined by comedian Hank Thompson and from the miserable liberal blog.
It's Steph Samurano, and we're going to be talking about the latest sellouts in the Democratic Party to become neoliberals and work for corporate America against the interest of the people.
*music*
Now, if you don't know who Howard Dean is, Howard Dean was the Bernie Sanders of the 2004 Democratic primary, right?
So he was the progressive.
He used to often say, I'm from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party.
I was like, wow, because the Democrats had become such corporatists under Bill Clinton and Al Gore.
And then Hillary Clinton became a senator and voted for the Iraq war and couldn't, her whole mission was to find Republican things that she could get put into legislation.
I'm not kidding.
So Howard Dean was like the antidote to that.
He was like what Bernie Sanders is now.
He was the guy coming back telling you that it's your country and we're going to be against war.
He was the anti-war candidate.
That was Howard Dean.
And Howard Dean said this.
He said this back then.
If you want young people to vote in this country and if you want the 50% of adults over 30 to vote in this country that don't vote, that do not vote in today's election, then we had better stand for something because that's why they're not voting.
That was Howard Dean in 2003.
Now, let's remember what happened in Vermont, where Howard Dean is from.
He's a super delegate for the Democrats.
What are super delegates?
So when George McGovern won the Democratic primary in 1972 to run against Richard Nixon, and then he lost in the worst landslide in American history, the Democrats got scared.
They didn't want that to happen again.
They didn't want a progressive to ever get control of their party again and be the nominee.
So they put in all these rules.
One of them is that there's going to be super delegates.
There's regular delegates when people vote in Democratic primaries, then you get delegates.
But there's also these appointed delegates like Howard Dean, because he's a big shot in the Democratic Party.
He gets a vote.
He gets a super delegate vote.
I've seen some stats that say one super delegate vote is worth 10,000 regular person votes.
So it's very undemocratic.
It was designed to crush progressives.
And even the primary schedule is put together to crush progressive candidates.
That's why a lot of the southern states vote first and stuff like that.
So the party wants a centrist.
They want a corporatist.
They don't want a wild lefty to take control.
They don't want a liberal to take over the liberal party, right?
So they put in all these rules.
One of them is super delegates, and it's worked.
So now Howard Dean is a super delegate, and he's from Vermont.
Now, you look in Vermont, Bernie Sanders won Vermont 86% to 13%.
Hillary Clinton wasn't even a viable candidate, meaning she gets zero delegates in Vermont.
Look at that.
86% to 13%, 16 delegates to zero, 86% to 13%.
That's amazing in Vermont.
Turns out, Howard Dean, the super delegate from Vermont, was talking about how he's not going to give his superdelegate vote to Bernie Sanders, even though Bernie Sanders won with over eight out of 10 voters in his own state.
In fact, a woman tweeted to him: Governor Howard Dean, your super delegate vote goes to Hillary no matter what way to represent the people.
Bernie Sanders will make a great pres in spite of you.
Howard Dean then tweeted back: super delegates don't represent people.
I'm not elected by anyone.
I'll do what I think is right for the country.
And you can just substitute Howard Dean for country.
I'll do what I think is right for Howard Dean because that's what he's doing.
So what happened to Howard Dean is that he became an insurance lobbyist.
What?
Yes.
He's working for a big law firm and he works in the public policy wing of the law, which is code word for lobbying, right?
Also, you know who works?
He's working side by side with Newt Gingrich in that same firm.
So yes, so he's done a lot.
So he's also done lobbying work for the pharmaceuticals.
This is Howard Dean, the guy who was supposed to be the rebel in 2004.
Well, they kicked that rebelness right out of him.
They made him the chair of the DNC, so they took him under their wing.
They're like, oh, we'll make you the chair of the DNC.
We're going to give you some corporate lobby money.
How does that feel?
Corporate lobby money.
You like that?
Yum, yum, right, Howard Dean?
And Howard Dean was like, yeah, I got my mind right.
I got my mind right, boss, because he is no longer the upstart that the establishment Democratic Party has to squash like they did.
He's no longer the guy.
He's part of them now.
He's taking the money.
He's tweeting out, I am not representing anyone.
He's bragging that a representative of the Democratic Party doesn't represent anybody.
He's bragging about it.
Doesn't that sound a little bit gross and antithetical, suppressing the will of the people in favor of the will of super elite members of a party?
That sounds, I don't know, antithetical to being a Democrat and to democracy in general.
So I tweeted that out.
This same tweet, I tweeted, and I just said, holy fuck.
That was the only tweet.
I retweeted Howard Dean's tweet and I said, holy fuck.
And guess what he did to me?
He blocked me.
What?
Howard Dean blocked me for retweeting his tweet and saying, holy fuck.
That's all I did.
He blocked me immediately because the last thing he wants to hear is from a non-bought, non-corporate news guy telling him the truth about who he is because who he is is a sellout.
And in fact, so here's my tweet.
And I even, so I took a screenshot.
I got a screenshot of his tweet and I posted it.
And I said, here is the retweet that had me saying, holy fuck, and made Governor Howard Dean immediately block me.
Not kidding.
So then somebody tweeted to that.
This guy named John Amenta tweeted, here's another person I used to follow and admire, but just like Paul Krugman, he has shown his establishment codes.
Howard Dean then retweets that tweet with me in it and says, John, you could show some tolerance for people who don't share your opinions.
Disagreement doesn't mean we are sellouts.
Yeah, this isn't a disagreement.
This is us telling you what you're doing.
This isn't a matter of opinion, Howard Dean.
It's not a matter of opinion that you're a lobbyist, right?
That you're working against the people in favor of corporations and that you sold out and you got your mind right.
That's not debatable.
Even though you deny you're a lobbyist, he denies it over and over and over that he's a lobbyist.
He denies it.
He is.
He's working for that law firm that has the public policy wing.
And so I'm calling him a lobbyist.
And if I'm lying, I'll tell Governor Howard Dean, why don't you sue me?
You fucking lobbyist.
Sell out.
You can block me on Twitter, but you can't block me in the world.
Look, we're still doing the story about you.
And a lot of people are going to see this.
I'm going to post this to Twitter.
Turns out that Howard Dean, even though he's a super delegate, he's also a super dick.
I think that's what SD stands for.
He's also super delicate.
Oh, this turns out the super delegate is super delicate and a super dick.
Okay.
So here's what Natalie Coast Watson said to him after he said disagreement doesn't mean we're our sellouts.
I do not have to tolerate the theft of my nation's democratic process by elites entitled to extra votes.
He responded to that.
So far, Hillary Rodham Clinton has 4.2 million votes.
Bernie has 2.6 million, yet the race is close.
Is that theft?
So he resorts to nonsensical arguments that don't talk about the issue we're talking about.
That's what he's left with.
This is the kind of bullshit a completely bought sellout is worth.
By the way, Howard Dean's brother working for Bernie Sanders.
I don't know if he's working for him.
When I was in Iowa at Bernie Sanders headquarters, you know who was sitting right there in the same headquarters?
Howard Dean's brother.
Billy.
Howard.
I don't know what his name is.
Howard Dean's brother was there.
I was introduced to him as Howard Dean's brother.
Isn't that something?
So this is what he's left with.
And you want to know he constantly says he's not a lobbyist.
First of all, how sad is this?
This is sad.
This guy used to be a hero to me.
It'd be like if Bernie Sanders decided to start taking money from corporations, but you know, he's not going to.
You know how he's not going to do it.
So here is who Howard Dean is.
He's a senior advisor in public policy and regulation practice at Denton's.
So they're a huge lobbying firm.
He focuses on health care and energy issues, as well as providing expertise derived from his extensive experience in public office.
So this is all the perks he gives to a corporation who wants to use him.
Look, I was in public office.
He's a recognized thought leader in healthcare reform.
Governor Dean works with clients to navigate complicated regulations and political challenges in both the private and public sectors.
Isn't that through partnering with business, industry, and community interests, he is at the forefront of promoting high quality and affordable health care while supporting innovation, meaning he's now against single payer.
That's right.
And now he's promoting BS policies that fill the pockets of big pharma and screw over regular people who are sick.
That's what Howard Dean's, the doctor, is now working to screw over sick people.
That's what Howard Dean, the doctor, is.
And I don't care how many times you block me on Twitter.
I'm still going to do YouTube videos about it, about what a sellout you are and what a liar you are when you sell people you're not lobbying because you are lobbying.
And this is what's wrong with the Democratic Party, Howard.
People are sick and tired of corporate stooges like you who will sell out your soul, your integrity, and your spine to the highest corporate bidder.
And you'll sell the country down the shitter.
And we're sick of it, Howard.
And that's why I'm making this video.
And that's why I'm going to tweet it at you every day for a year.
And guess how many people are going to see it?
And guess how many people already know that you're a sellout?
We're going to find out.
We here at the Jimmy Door show are experiencing some Schardenfreud over Bill O'Reilly, Mr. Family Values, Mr. Upstanding Christian, who got divorced.
And now the court ordered his kids be taken away from him because of the testimony his kids talked about, all his physical domestic abuse.
And, well, he's been leaving me messages.
He's drunk, and he keeps calling me.
So it looks good.
Here's another one of his messages.
I've been working on the railroad all the live long day.
Not racist, Jimmy.
And as per ipso facto, ergo, domestic abuse is not domestic abuse.
We all know that the phrase domestic abuse is just typical liberal code speak for hitting women and children and stuff like that.
Fuck, that sounded so much better in my head.
Look, no one can say I don't respect women.
Take my mother, for example.
She had an ass like two ferrets fighting in a bag.
Come on.
Jimmy, Jimmy James.
James.
James Morrison Morrison.
Whether it be George Dupree took great care of his mother though he was only three.
Your Honor, I rest my case.
Never surrender, Jimmy.
I will fight them on the beaches.
That judge was not a good adjudicator.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to get seriously chubbed up and slap my clackers.
No spin there, dickhead.

So Donald Trump has been having some raucous rallies lately.
Kind of like they look more like a KKK meeting than they do an actual political thing.
Whenever there's a protester, he yells at the people in the crowd to get him out.
Get him out!
Get him out!
He literally yells.
Imagine Barack Obama scraping like that.
Get out!
Get him out!
Remember how Barack Obama was the angry black man.
He had to be worried.
Donald Trump, get out!
Got him!
He literally does that.
He's told people that, go ahead, punch him.
I'll pay for your illegal bills.
Don't worry about it.
Protesters.
To the point where he was giving a speech at one rally, he had the Secret Service go out and remove 20 black, but I don't know how many.
There was like 20 or 30, they said, black protesters.
They weren't doing anything.
They were just there at the rally.
Haven't done anything.
He told the Secret Service, go get rid of those black people, and they did.
So that's now the Secret Service is now doing the racist deeds.
They're the toadies of a racist, right?
Hey, go get rid of them.
And if you see anybody else who looks Mexican or something, throw them out too.
Any Muslims, get them out.
Get everybody out.
Just leave the white people for me.
This is what's happening at a Trump rally.
And, you know, we see them beating the crap out of people.
So he told them to throw one protester out when he was like 10 below zero and said, take his coat.
Do you remember that?
He said all this.
So this happened just the other day in Fayetteville, Fayetteville.
And you'll see they're leading out one protester.
They're going to lead this protester out.
Now, watch this guy in the, there's a guy in the, this guy's going to come over and sucker punch him.
Oh, did you see that?
Oh, my God.
Yeah, let's watch that again.
You want to see that again?
So watch him.
Watch he's going to come over and sucker punch him.
So this guy's getting thrown out.
There's a couple of now.
There's cops right there.
There's cops right behind him.
This guy comes over, punches him.
There's cops right there.
They see it.
They do nothing to that guy.
They do nothing to that guy.
You know what they do do?
They tackle the guy who was punched.
I don't know how many cops are jumping on him.
Three, four, four cops, jump on that guy and cuff him.
Yeah.
Did nothing to the guy.
The guy who punched him, his name is John McGraw, 78 years old.
John McGraw.
This is Donald Trump's rallies.
All right.
So this guy, by the way, he's been arrested, finally.
They didn't arrest him at the thing.
In fact, all those police around.
Why would that be around rappers?
Why would they arrest him?
In fact, here.
It's a shocking moment as a Trump supporter.
Boom, an elbow right to the face.
Watch from a different angle.
The protester never sees it coming.
He's rusted to the ground by deputies.
The guy who smacked him goes right back to his seat.
Goes right back to his seat.
Cops all around.
There's two cops saw exactly what happened.
Exactly.
Did nothing to this guy.
He goes back to his seat and they're all giggling.
Look at them all laughing about how he just smacked that black guy.
Did you like the event?
He ran out of life.
Yeah?
What'd you like about it?
Knocking hell out of that big mouth.
We don't know who he is, but we know he's not acting like an American.
So he deserved it.
Everything I have it.
What was that?
Yes, he deserved it.
The next time we see him, we might have to kill him.
We don't.
So that's John McGraw of Linden, North Carolina.
And he's been charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct.
That's insane.
The one thought I'm having is he'll be dead soon.
And we'll be rid of, you know, people like him die off.
There's no talking to that guy.
There's no reasoning with someone who thinks it's okay to do that.
That's worth celebrating.
Bragging about it to a reporter afterwards.
It's just, it's just stuff like that is just hard to talk about.
I mean, no, it is pretty, it's appalling.
Yeah.
And that he's articulating, he's pretending that this is so American, his behavior.
Right.
I mean, I guess it is.
I guess it is pretty American that we brutalize other people because they don't have the same color of our skin.
Right, right.
That works on global scales and on the micro scale like this.
So, you know, we've seen women beat up at the Donald Trump rallies.
We're seeing young men beat up at the Donald Trump.
It's appalling.
It's embarrassing.
It's horrible.
So Ronald Trump has last month in Iowa at a rally, he said, if you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them.
Would you seriously just knock the hell?
I promise you, I'll pay for your legal fees.
And this is the result of what happens, right?
And this is in Fayetteville, North Carolina, North Carolina, not Arkansas.
It's in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
So Mr. McGraw is going to be defended by the money of Donald Trump, right?
So apparently, Donald Trump was going to pay for this guy's.
So that's John McGraw.
That's what's happening at Trump rallies.
I'm watching CNN.
This is the kind of informed commentary you get from CNN.
They bring on this maniac who just a week ago was telling us that the KKK was a progressive.
They're lefties, the KKK, ready?
So here we are.
Listen to what they have to say at CNN about this.
David, number one, there's no place for violence, period, in the American political system, right?
And now, here comes a big excuse for violence, right?
Remember, there's no place for it.
No place for it.
I should think it'd be wrong.
Here we go.
Unfortunately, the American left has a very, very long and detailed history of doing exactly this.
But that's not a problem.
No, we're not.
What?
Why is he on TV?
The left has a long history of doing this.
So you realize that this guy gets most of his history lessons from Trump University.
That's what this has come from.
So this guy's name is Jeffrey Lords.
He was the guy who last week said the KKK was a liberal terrorist group.
Yeah.
This is Jeffrey Lord.
To Van Jones.
Yes.
Right.
This is that guy.
We did a videotape about him.
He's got more crazy stuff to say.
No, that is what we're talking about.
That is what we're talking about.
That's fine.
We are talking about people who show up at rallies, Donald Trump or whatever.
To provoke.
To provoke.
They are in search of violence.
That's what their objective is.
They're in search of violence.
And God stammered, they found it.
Yeah.
They found some violent MFers over at a Trump rally ready to beat the crap out of anybody.
You want to find violence?
You go to a white racist Trump rally.
Go to a white race.
The only thing that could make this clip worthwhile, if John McGraw walked right up to him and punched him in the face.
It's fine, but what do you think the 1968 Democratic Convention was all about?
I don't know.
It was about a police riot where the Chicago police force started cracking the heads of peaceful protesters.
That's what this is all about.
That's what the 68 convention was about.
Chicago police were humiliated for the way they handled it, and they started chanting the whole world is watching.
That's where that chant comes from.
The whole world is watching, watching a police riot.
This is the kind of informed commentary.
CNN is like, well, you don't have to switch over to Fox to get totally crazy, backcrap, crazy stuff.
Said the opposite, black is white, in is out, up is down kind of news reporting.
We'll give it to you right here on CNN.
Right here, we'll give it.
Come on.
Hang on.
He's got more.
All these different examples.
History, David.
Why can't Trump stand up and say, look, you can be passionate?
I love you, my supporters.
I thank you.
But we can't hit anyone at rallies.
He has.
He said, go cry for the money.
After decades of seeing this kind of stuff.
That is a decade.
A decade.
But that is not even.
David, were you calling on the public?
Were you calling on Barack Obama to denounce the Black Panthers?
What?
Remember all those Black Panther rallys.
Remember when Barack Obama was giving speeches and Black Panthers started beating the crap out of white people?
What?
This is the stuff.
So it's like we're watching Fox News.
So this is Fox News now, but it's called CNN.
And I bet you don't know this, but one of the N's in CNN stands for news.
And the other one stands for not.
Yeah, cable not news.
Cable not news, CNN.
There's more.
If you show me an incident like that video of someone getting sucker punches, you know what?
They were voting people at polling places.
And I don't recall you or anyone not getting him to denounce the Black Panthers.
It's a complete double based on political power.
That is not the same thing as getting cold cocked.
That's a terrible video.
Of course, of course.
Of course, but what I'm saying is there are people who go to these rallies with the deliberate intent of provoking people.
Yes, and those people are called Donald Trump.
Exactly.
Who do you think goes to these rallies trying to provoke people?
Knock the hell out of them.
Knock the crap out of them.
I'll pay your legal bills.
That's who's provoking the people.
That's who's doing it.
Thank God CNN is bringing us all these different points of view on ignorance.
No, it's not fine, David.
No, and therein lies the problem.
That's doubtless why that guy's so it's okay to hate protesters.
Okay, I'm done with that guy.
There was another panel on CNN that talked about this exact topic.
You ready for this guy?
Should Mr. Trump denounce the violence of his rallies?
Okay, well, first, that guy's 78 and throwing a punch like that.
That reminds me of the Buzz Aldrincliffe.
I mean, at his age, we must say that that is very, very interesting.
I'm not going to him.
Look, I will.
What?
So, oh, it's very that guy's 78.
It's very, very interesting.
We must have to say that's very interesting.
And you'll be like, that's not interesting.
Hold on.
Hold on.
We must say.
By the way, this is Trump spokesperson, right?
The Trump rallies.
Liberals come and they're getting chaos, interrupting 10 or 15 times when you don't see conservative.
See, liberals come and they create chaos, and then, you know, we beat the crap out of them.
That's how you're supposed to handle it.
Let's go into Hillary Clinton and freak out at her rallies.
It's a lack of respect that liberals have for freedom of speech.
Lack of respect for freedom of speech.
Let's just break that down for a second.
So they come there to protest, which is the freedom of speech Americans most value is your freedom to protest.
They go there to protest.
They beat the crap out of them and have them thrown out.
They're like, hey, why are you guys against free speech?
So again, black is white, up is down, in and out.
It's CNN.
It's CNN.
It's not really news.
It doesn't even have to be tethered to reality.
It doesn't have to even make sense.
We're going to put it on and we're going to pay these people to come on.
It's CNN.
Who cares?
And a 78-year-old guy, which Donald Trump is not in control of.
He's a very powerful man, but he can't control a 78-year-old man who's at that age.
That looks like good exercise.
Oh, that's.
Thanks, CNN.
Thanks for.
I was wondering.
I think, CNN, we're turning over every rock to find another ignorant moron underneath it.
And we're going to put him in a suit and put him on TV.
It's CNN!
There's a lot more to our discussion about the way CNN's handling the Trump violence, but we don't have time to get to it in today's radio show.
But you can hear the whole thing if you get a podcast of today's show.
You know what else is we don't have time to get to?
Is we actually talked to Bill O'Reilly about his interview with Donald Trump and how Donald Trump owned him.
Here's a little bit of that.
Hey, Bill.
Yes.
No, a lot of people said that you were drunk when you were interviewing Bill O'Donald Trump after that debate.
That is slander.
And I would know I'm drunk now.
So you can hear the rest of that Bill O'Reilly call, the rest of our chat about the Trump punchy facey, and there's always a lot more in the premium content.
It's the personal Jibby in the premium content.
And how do you, it's only $5 a month, right?
That's less than the price of a cup of coffee that costs five bucks.
I think it's a dime a week.
I'm not a math surgeon.
