Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
No!
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hello, who's this?
Bernie Sanders, what can I do for you?
Jimmy, I would like to address the vast inequities that exist today in our land.
By all means, go ahead.
I want to say this to the American public here and now.
And get straight to the point, if I may.
The born 90% of my body currently controls more hair than the top 1% of my head.
Can we just admit that?
Sure, why not?
Thank you.
Jimmy, as president, I intend to address this inequality.
The problems we face do not come down from the heavens.
They are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.
That's been the theme of your candidacy, I know.
Air loss cannot only be stopped, it can be reversed.
Will I succeed?
I can't guarantee that.
But I can tell you that from a human point of view, it is better for a head of hair to show up than to give up.
Absolutely.
Are you shilling for the hair club for men?
Look, how long do you think I can keep counting on three buck donations from you losers?
I gotta think ahead.
Jimmy, half of you smokes can't afford rent anymore.
Can I finish my pitch, please?
Okay, fine.
We must have the will, Jimmy.
I can't stop hair loss alone.
I need your help, and I need the help of the American people.
Absolutely.
As you know, I'm very passionate about this subject, as I am about every subject.
For example, this morning I ate a toasted muffin that was out of this world.
There is simply no goddamn excuse for a bad muffin, Jimmy.
Enough is enough, you fuckface.
I agree.
Enough is enough.
Did you just call me a fuckface?
Calm down.
You know I've got your back.
So congratulations on the invite to the Vatican.
Oh, yes, I'm thrilled about it.
The Pope and I will like this.
No one can see what you're doing, Bernie.
Are you doing that thing where you cross two fingers to illustrate how close you are?
Kind of.
One finger's taking the crap on a solid gold toilet, and the other finger's being put in the camp while Herman Goering steals his belongings.
We disagree on some important issues, Jimmy.
Then why are you going?
To get the hell out of this country for a few days.
You people are pathetic.
I've spent all my life being on the right side of history, screaming about it, and nobody ever listens.
You can all go fuck yourself for all I care.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get to the airport.
I'm flying coach with 12 layovers.
I'm flying coach with 12 layovers.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
Up-minded, lowly-lovered lefties.
The kind of people that are...
Comments may be on tearing down our nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you, T-Value.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's show.
I'm joined in the studio for the Miserable Liberal.
It's our resident Latina, Steph Zamarano.
Hey, Steph, how are you?
Jimmy, I'm feeling the burn.
Oh, who is it?
Right next to her is our resident Japanese man, Robert Yasamura.
Hey, Robert.
Hi.
Oh, Hio.
Also here.
Hilarious comedian Hank Topson.
Hey, Jim, how are you?
Paid my taxes today.
Oh, no.
Hank's ahead of the game.
Bombs only.
All right.
So let's see what's into the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Hey, you know, Paul Ryan said he's not going to run for president.
He believes he could do more harm to America as a shitty obstructionist speaker, apparently.
Yes, he can.
Yes, he can.
You know, all this media talk about super delegates and brokered convention rules and committees really gets to the heart of the issues people really care about.
You know, the one thing no candidate can promise is that a good movie based on a DC comics character will happen during their administration.
Hey, did you hear the Pope?
The Pope's in the news.
The Pope's still against gay marriage, but tradition of closeted gay Catholics marrying members of the opposite sex will be allowed to continue.
That happens a lot.
That's why that's funny.
I saw that Rogue One trailer.
Good job.
Not a big deal.
Just hope the weather stays nice as I sit here on the sidewalk in front of the theater until December.
That's a Frank Conniff joke.
Yeah, it's definitely a Frank Conniff joke.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
We got phone calls from Robert Bernie Sanders calls in.
Robertson, Representative Peter King calls in.
Plus a lot lot more.
We're going to talk about today.
The Boston Globe pulled a funny about deportations.
We're also going to talk about, let's see, Bernie Sanders stops by a union strike, a picket line.
Isn't that nice?
We're also going to talk about voter suppression is happening in Wisconsin.
We're going to talk about that.
We might talk about PolitiFact fact-checking Bernie Sanders and then fails himself.
We're going to talk about that.
Hillary Clinton has a funny thing.
Oh, Bill O'Reilly talks about black guys with tattoos on their head.
And you know why?
Because he's not a racist.
And we're going to talk about that, plus a lot, lot more.
That's today at the Jimmy Dore Show.
So Bill O'Reilly got in trouble a little bit.
Not really.
By the way, Bill O'Reilly is one of my favorite paid racist agitators.
He said some racist stuff to Donald Trump.
By the way, Donald Trump didn't bite.
But it all comes down to this thing.
It's the meme that they push, the race baiters at Fox News push that what's wrong with the economy of inner cities, what's wrong with the economy of African Americans and minorities in this country, isn't systemic racism.
It's not that they weren't even allowed to vote up until a generation ago.
It's not that they're systematically put in prison at higher rates for the same crime.
It's not that.
It's not that we've criminalized a whole generation of black youth with stop and frisk.
It's not any of that stuff.
It's not any of that stuff.
It's not that their schools are the most poorly funded.
It's not that.
It's not the CIA bringing crack into the neighborhood.
It's not that.
It's not any of that.
What it is, here's what Bill O'Reilly will tell you why poor people are poor in America inner cities, ready?
And blacks.
They don't want a conversation.
They don't want to solve the problem.
These race hustlers make a big living and they get voted into office by portraying their constituents as victims.
And it's all your fault and it's my fault.
It's the rich people's fault.
It's Republicans' fault.
It's everybody's fault except what's going on.
And what's going on, as you know, is a dissolution of the family and you don't have proper supervision of children and they grow up with no skills and they can't read and speak and they have tattoos on their neck and they can't compete in a marketplace.
So that's Bill O'Reilly saying a lot.
He's saying a lot.
Let's break that down.
And there is the third in line to the president not stopping him going, what the f ⁇ is wrong with you?
So here, here he is.
So what Bill O'Reilly is saying, it's none of those things.
It's not that we're outsourcing the jobs that people used to have, that Nabisco and Oreo cookie and Chevy and Ford and General Electric and everyone is outsourcing jobs to even more desperate and even more poorer people in other parts of the world.
It's none of that.
It's not that.
It's not the for-profit prison.
And it's not that we're not investing in it.
It's not that.
It's that black people don't stay married.
By the way, here's a guy twice divorced.
Sure.
Just got his kids taken away from him.
The destruction of the family.
Destruction of the family.
To be fair, his kids don't have neck tattoos.
I'm just saying.
And of course, you know, all the black guys with neck tattoos.
You know, I don't know about you.
I know one black guy with a tattoo above the shoulders, and that's Mike Tyson.
No, no, no.
It's a scourge.
It's a scourge.
Oh, it's sure.
It's a scourge.
It's the scourge of black men with neck tattoos.
It is the Zika virus of our time.
So let's see if he has anything else to say.
That's what's going on.
But if you say that, you're a racist.
And if you say that, you're a racist.
You know why you're a racist?
Because you're a racist.
That's why.
Because you're overlooking all the other problems, and you're trying to find what is wrong with people with black skin.
I found it out.
They don't stay married.
Hey, you're divorced twice.
So what?
So what?
My kids got taken away from me.
I've been an abusive maniac to my wife.
So what?
So what?
My wife's begging a cop.
Who cares?
So what?
Not only does it make you a racist, it makes you the worst kind of racist who goes, I'm pretty sure I'm not a racist.
That's my favorite thing.
You know, if you tell the truth, again, this goes to, I've said this over the truth teller.
Racists don't think they're racists.
They think they just have the balls to tell the truth.
Now, Bill O'Reilly knows what he's saying is complete bull, right?
Because Bill O'Reilly not only has was direct, got a direct handout from the government.
He grew up in Levittown, which was financed by the government, giving loans.
They built the communities after World War II for the GIs coming back.
But guess what?
Blacks weren't allowed to live there.
They weren't allowed to get loans.
Your own house.
So blacks were redlined.
They were kept out.
In fact, it's been proven that the government said if you sell houses to them, we'll take your funding away.
So they kept black.
And Bill O'Reilly got to have one of those houses because he was a nice white guy without a tattoo on his head.
So here's the thing everyone's talking about.
So we'll fast forward.
Bill O'Reilly talking with Don Bill, what's his name?
Donald Trump.
Oh.
And it's something when you can outracis the biggest racists in the country.
So I guess that makes Bill O'Reilly the biggest racist.
Here we go.
He's trying to get Donald Trump to say some racist stuff.
And let's, it doesn't work.
Donald Trump doesn't fall for it.
With African-American youth, you have a 59% unemployment.
With people of prime age, it's much higher.
How are you going to get jobs for them?
And many of them are ill-educated and have tattoos on their foreheads.
And then, you know, how are you?
What?
They got tattoos on the, they got tattoos on their foreheads.
He's got, he's got more tattoos on their forehead.
Yeah.
That was it.
Mike Tyson is the only guy I know who has a tattoo on his face.
Actually, the only person I know with a tattoo on their forehead is Charles Manson.
Charles Manson is a white guy, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Pretty sure.
Yeah, you know, you know, all the black guys with tattoos on their foreheads, you got Manson, the guy from American History X. Who else?
That's it.
I'm out.
Just two white guys.
That's all I can do.
Maybe you watch an MSNBC prison documentary on the weekend.
Those are all still white guys with the tattoos as he prisoner guys.
A carney, a carney.
Usually a white carney.
But believe me, he's not racist.
He's not racist.
I mean, it's just one step removed from, you know, the Jews with the horns and whatnot.
Yeah.
What are you going to do with them?
You know, I love how he says that many of them are ill-educated.
You know, Trump, Trump, I love the ill-educated.
Okay, here we go.
He's got more to say.
And I hate to be generalized about it.
By the way, this is like a racist off.
True.
He hates to, by the way, he hates to be generalized.
I'm going to back that up because he hates to be, he hates to generalize.
I don't know if you heard him dare do that.
He just, he wouldn't dare.
In fact, if he does it, he would hate it.
But it's true.
If you look at all the educational statistics, how are you going to give jobs to people who aren't qualified for jobs?
We're going to bring jobs back.
We're going to have Apple computers made in this country.
Not just would you have to have skills to make Apple computers.
The educational system is what?
We will get the skills and we'll develop the skills.
We have an incredible population and they don't have the jobs.
Our good jobs are going to China.
They're going to Mexico.
Carry more challenges.
Well, wait a minute.
Carrier and Nabisco and Ford and every company you can name.
They're building in Mexico.
They're not here.
We have politicians that don't know what they're.
I got it, but don't you want to say something about the blacks?
Don't you want to say how bad they are?
You don't want to say, I got it.
I understand there's problems with the economy, but blacks have tattoos on their foreheads.
He's saying they're too stupid to have jobs.
So this is what he's saying, Hank.
He's saying that they're too dumb to make Apple computers in the inner cities of America because they don't have the education the slaves in China have.
Right.
Apparently, the slaves in China, very well educated.
They still don't make any money because they have to put fences to keep them in.
Right?
This is what he's saying.
He's saying that the people in America aren't educated enough to do the jobs that used to be done here.
And now we're sending them.
So he's just saying, hey, they're sending all Nabisco, Ford, General Electric.
They're all sending the jobs out of the country.
Is it because the people in America don't have the skills?
Because they're sending them to less educated, poor people in other parts of the country.
But Bill O'Reilly says, no, they're doing that.
Nabisco, they're sending those jobs out of the country because the blacks have tattoos on their heads.
Well, I don't want to eat a cookie made by somebody who has a tattoo.
I don't.
I want to eat a cookie made by an elf in a tree.
No tattoos.
So let's see.
There's a little bit more to this.
I mean, if Donald Trump pushed back with the logical pushback, which is, well, are you for significant education reform in the black community?
Can we start actually getting the black community better educated?
Would you be okay?
Would you be cool with that?
I guarantee Bill O'Reilly would spin around and all of a sudden be like, wait a second.
I'm already spitting around thinking that Trump would ever propose such a thing.
I mean, if Trump said, hey, why don't we invest in an education in the inner cities?
O'Reilly would.
No, no, no, that's not what I'm saying.
That's not what I'm saying.
I'm saying you can't educate these people.
They're animals.
That's what he's really saying.
Exactly.
Because what he's saying is you can't do anything for them because they are from broken families.
And you can't have a good life if you're from a broken family.
You know, just ask Barack Obama.
You know, the president of the United States.
Just ask Bill O'Reilly.
Ask Bill O'Reilly's kids.
Oh, they're going to do it coming from a broken family.
Now, I guess they're not going to be able to get jobs, Bill O'Reilly's kids, and they're going to get tattoos on their forehead and they're not going to be able to get a job because they're from a broken family, just like black kids in the inner city.
Isn't that weird?
But it doesn't apply when it's Bill O'Reilly's family.
Just black kids in the inner city.
They need to stay married.
I mean, let's look at the breakdown of Donald Trump's families, all three of them.
Families.
Yeah.
He puts his name on all different types of families.
Bill O'Reilly's been married twice, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Let's see if he's got anything more to say.
But it's more challenging in the African American industry.
Look, when we drive up to Yankee Stadium, we go through Harlem.
All right.
It's more challenging for a poor child in Harlem without parental guidance.
So apparently there's just kids wandering all over Harlem with no parental guidance.
They live in gangs of kids in the basements of hotels.
There's no parents.
What the?
They're always out there playing stick ball and getting into whatnot.
Getting into whatnot with that.
And then they go and they trade Benny's after playing stickball.
Sure, them and their dog Petey.
Tom Fluori and hijinks.
So this is, again, again, he goes back to you can't, they're effectively defective because they come from broken families.
They don't have a mother and a father living with them.
So being raised by a grandparent or a single mom, that's no good.
Even though Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, both from broken families, they became president of the United States.
And by the way, Bill Clinton's still married.
Still on the one marriage bill.
Kept it together.
Somehow Bill O'Reilly was able to keep it together.
Barack Obama is still on his first marriage, Bill.
Isn't that funny?
So apparently.
Nancy was his second wife, right?
Nancy Reagan, Ronald Reagan's second wife.
So again, this all goes back to the black people are defective and you can't fix it because they won't stay married.
So no matter what we do for them, it's not going to fix it because they come from broken families.
They won't stay together.
They're such animals.
They can't stop banging outside of marriage and having kids.
Because, you know, they have the kids so they can get the welfare.
So that's all this.
That's all what this is.
That's Bill O'Reilly, what he's doing.
He's reinforcing every racist stereotype, BS meme from the right-wing.
It's the blacks.
They have the kids out of wedlock so they can get the government money.
And then their kids grow up as criminals.
They're all animals and criminals, even though they don't use drugs anymore than white kids do, except we put them in jail a lot more.
Let's see if there's anything more.
By the way, Harlem is gorgeous right now.
Bill Clinton has an office there.
Harlem, he did not go drive to Harlem and see all this poverty.
When this Bill drive through Harlem, A, B, he did go to Harlem one time.
Do you remember that?
It was a couple years ago.
He went with Al Sharpton, right?
It was a disaster.
They went to a black restaurant in Harlem, and I don't know if you remember what Bill O'Reilly's report back was.
He goes, hey, it was just like eating anywhere else.
Nobody was yelling, motherfucker.
Nobody was saying, get me a motherfucking iced tea.
This is what Bill O'Reilly reported back from Harlem.
Like, oh, my God, people are just running around yelling motherfucker in restaurants.
Yeah, it's almost like they're, I don't know, human beings, civilized in a city.
Yeah, he was stunned that they were well-behaved, regular.
He was stunned that they weren't animals.
So they have to report that on TV.
Hillary Clinton, by the way, two days ago on The View said that Megan Kelly, superb journalist.
So get ready for more compliments on Fox News journalism from Hillary Clinton for the next eight years.
If she becomes president, just get ready.
Let's see if there's any more of this.
Oh, no, that's hard than it is for some white kid out in Gordon City.
All right.
And you say you can bring jobs back, but if the kid isn't qualified to do the job and can't do the work, I mean, you got to get into the infrastructure of the African-American community.
You have any plan to do that?
You know, I've never thought I'd be in a position to be, get him, Donald.
Come on, get him, Donald.
Yeah, come on.
He's making me cheer for Donald Trump.
I'm cheering for Trump right now.
Let's see what Trump.
You got to get into the infrastructure.
It's like they've a broken culture.
Their mind is broken.
That's what Bill O'Reilly is saying.
Their mind is broken.
It's not that we incarcerate them at higher rates for the Senate.
It's not that we've outsourced every job.
It's got nothing to do that he wouldn't allow, weren't allowed to vote for until a generation ago.
And now when they try to vote, we suppress their vote all across the goddamn country.
You know, the kind of programs he's talking about are things like forced marriage, essentially, like, if I'm not kidding, like, if you leave a marriage, we'll give you less in benefits or whatever.
Right.
Like, he's talking about programs like that, but that basically are social engineering of the worst kind.
Right.
He's saying, say, stay in an abusive marriage and we'll give you a little bit more money.
Right.
Like, if we said that to Bill O'Reilly's wife, hey, stay with that guy who's abusive to you and we'll give you more money.
That's the kind of social engineering he wants to do.
And by the way, his wife wouldn't put up with it either.
His wife wouldn't put up with it.
His wife was like, I'm pretty sure it's economically better for me to stay in this marriage.
Guess what?
I'm out of this marriage.
So let's hear what Donald Trump's comeback is.
Well, it is true, and it's about education.
So there we have it.
There's nothing you can do.
Blacks, and you got to get into the infrastructure of the black culture.
You know, they keep getting divorced.
I know I'm divorced and you're divorced three times.
Listen.
We got to get into the infrastructure of white Americans.
Let's fix the family.
We don't have to get into the infrastructure because we're white and our infrastructure is working just fine.
And, you know, that's what the black community needs most is an out-of-touch millionaire who's ghostwritten several books and has been a TV host for 30 years to figure out what's wrong with their infrastructure.
Yes.
Who knows?
Truly the philosopher king for that particular fiefdom.
When will he bring his wisdom?
You know, the guy who doesn't realize that Harlem apartments are million-dollar apartments.
That's the guy I want.
The guy who still thinks that the Bowery is dangerous.
Bill O'Reilly isn't even, talk about not qualifying.
He's not even qualified to be a good racist.
Oh.
Jimmy Daws, this is Bill O'Reilly.
Hey, Bill, how you doing?
Tripping the light fantastic, as always.
How are you good, sir?
I don't even know what that means, but I'm doing really well.
The show's really taking off.
We're adding thousands of subscribers every day, and we're getting ready to start our Indiegogo campaign.
And we're picking up lots of people are becoming aware of the show.
So we're really happy.
Well, I must say that it sounds like your foray into broadcast media, albeit on the internet, has borne some fruit.
For once, and I can't believe I'm doing this.
I'm going to say you're not a pinhead.
Well, thanks, Bill.
And I have to say, you sound better than I've heard you in years.
You mean I'm not drunk?
Right.
Yeah, we're not doing that anymore.
Okay.
Listen, Jimbo, the reason I called was to say that you're not a pinhead and then turn around and call you a pinhead.
Why?
What did I do now, Bill?
Don't play coy with me.
I heard you and your little liberal morning zoo, your little zoo crew down there in Hollywood, harping and gutter sniping about me regarding my interview with Donald Trump.
Yes, Bill, you said some really outrageous things in the interview that have many people riled up.
Well, how did your interview go?
What interview?
Your interview with Donald Trump.
How'd it go?
Bill, you know I didn't have an interview.
I know that I know you didn't interview Donald Trump, Mr. New Media, because you don't get the big gets like me.
So who are you to criticize me who's engaging in actual journalism when you're interviewing Bozo the liberal clown or just telling a homeless man he's beautiful or whatever it is you do on your show?
Our show is designed to be a watchdog for people just like you, Bill.
Yes, large media figures who are messing everything up.
Right, right, right.
My point is, however, who are you to criticize my interview?
Because the implication from you is always that you would have done a better job somehow.
Who's to say if you were in the hot seat that you had Mr. Trump as a guest, that you yourself would have said something horribly racist?
Well, I'm not a racist, Bill, so I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be an issue.
Ah, look at you.
So naive.
You're naive.
A babe in the woods.
Jimmy, the truth of the matter is that you never know whether or not you are a racist until you have three giant television cameras pointed at your face and you start talking to millions of people.
Okay, I don't see how that works exactly.
But speaking of, Bill, these comments you made, they were really offensive.
What?
What do you mean what?
These comments you made about African Americans.
Look, whatever I may have said about the blacks was just some realistic talk.
I say things the way they are.
The people who don't like it maybe need to look in the mirror.
Bill, you said basically that black men are unemployable because they have no skills and have tattoos on their foreheads.
So?
So how can you justify that?
I mean, not only is that offensive in its tone, it's just simply incorrect.
What do you mean it's incorrect?
Look, I can only draw my conclusions based on things I personally see on a regular basis.
Oh, really?
As opposed to actual numbers and facts and statistics, stuff like that?
Look, Boy, you never know what kind of pencil neck has cooked those things up in a skillet, all those numbers.
If I wanted rice a roni, I'd send favor to the grocery store.
What?
Look, when I come into work and I spend all day here at the studio, between when my town car drops me off and picks me up, I'm here at a giant TV studio.
A lot of people work here.
There's all sorts of jobs.
There's people like me who are on-camera talent.
Then there are people who point the cameras at me.
There are the headphone-wearing guys.
There are the clipboard ladies and all sorts of other jobs.
And you know what?
Barely any blacks.
So what this says to me is there are a lot of jobs here, and very few black people have them.
Therefore, ergo, black people must simply lack the skills to perform the jobs necessary to run the Fox News studios of New York City.
There's simply no other explanation.
At one time, I was thinking that very thought, being driven back to Connecticut, and I was looking out the window, and I saw a black guy with a tattoo on his forehead.
And there it is.
There you go.
These blacks have forehead tattoos.
Personal responsibility.
It dovetailed perfectly with my trademark on-air philosophy.
So the next time I quote, I steered a conversation about jobs and job growth to how blacks aren't going to be able to get jobs with all these forehead tattoos.
And my older shit viewers got to enjoy a little scooby snack of racism in the middle of an interview with Donald Trump.
That's why I'm a titan of my industry and why you have no place to criticize me.
Wow.
That is truly unbelievable.
Believe it, Bonehead.
I mean, you just walked us through how a dumb, thoughtless person develops racist thoughts, but you cloaked it somehow as how a journalist develops a worldview.
Amazing.
And I make a fuck ton of money doing it.
Jesus.
And you want to know a secret?
You know, actually, I'm not sure I do.
My producers demand this of me because it sustains ratings.
Before we had Trump on, right before that, a headphone guy and a clipboard lady came up to me and told me that it had been 2.4 hours since something blatantly racist had been said on Fox News, which was 20 minutes longer than the optimal racism cycle that our bean counters have all figured out.
And if we waited until the Trump interview was over, that would put us at three hours, which is when we start losing viewers to fast fishing.
So it's up to me as a company man to say something in the middle of a Trump interview about how blacks are fucking animals.
And you know what?
I did it.
I did my job as a journalist and an American.
You're making me literally sick.
Well, go watch some homeless woman's feet.
Sure, that'll help you keep your cookies down.
I'm going to go have lobster for lunch.
I'll talk to you later, Johnny Internet.
Oh, it's so good to hear from Bill O'Reilly.
This is usually the spot when I thank people for using our Amazon.com link, but guess what?
We've launched our Indiegogo campaign because the Jimmy Door show is expanding.
You know, we've added video to the show, so we're over at youtube.com/slash the Jimmy Door show, and it's growing like crazy.
We're adding about a thousand subscribers a day.

Okay.
Now we got a lot coming up in the second half.
We got phone calls from Peter King, and we're going to talk about politi facts, not actually full of facts and a lot more.
Now let's get back to the studio.
We'll see you next time.
So, So we all know that the right wing has been trying to suppress the vote of minorities because they've because they vote for Democrats.
And so there can't be anything less American than trying to take the vote away from people because your ideas don't connect enough with people.
So you try to take the vote away from them so that you could get power without actually representing the will of the people.
It's the opposite of what America is about.
It's the antithesis of America.
America was founded on racism.
But it's the antithesis of the idea of one man, one vote in America.
Yeah, it took us a while to get there.
But so, in fact, the thing is that they don't do this.
They don't hide this.
They do it right out in the open.
That's the thing, right?
So they're not, it's not like, hey, what?
We're not suppressing the vote.
We're just so, because here's from 2011 in Pennsylvania.
Here's a state senator, and here's what he has to say about voter ID laws.
Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania.
Done.
And he's proud of himself.
They applaud him.
We passed voter ID, which is going to allow Mitt Romney to win the state, but didn't.
He didn't win anyway, even with them suppressing the vote.
So it's like, hey, we took the vote away from a bunch of our citizens.
And they all applauded.
Subverting democracy.
Done.
Hey, there's a bunch of people living in our state who won't be able to vote.
Yeah!
Elected officials.
Only elected by some of us, though, right?
So they're doing this out in the open all over the place.
And you know what's weird is I don't hear Barack Obama screaming about it every day.
I don't hear Loretta Lynch screaming about it every day.
I don't hear anybody screaming about it ever.
Actually, Barack Obama came out with a very, very strong statement today about shoe.
Today he came out.
Really?
So he is on top of it.
It's only been going on for eight freaking years.
True.
He's really on top of it.
He's really on top of it.
I've heard Hillary pay lip service to it, too.
So here is, yes.
So here is, so Wisconsin, ever since Scott Walker got in, Wisconsin, they have a voter ID law could block 300,000 registered voters from the polls.
300,000.
One of the country's toughest voting restrictions takes effect for the April 5th primary.
So like, who gets stopped from voting?
Who gets stopped from voting in Wisconsin?
Well, let's put, for instance, there's a guy named Johnny Randall.
He's a 75-year-old, 74-year-old African-American resident of Milwaukee.
He moved to Wisconsin from Mississippi in 2011.
The same year, the state legislature passed a law requiring a government-issued photo ID to cast a ballot.
So he came from Mississippi, moves to Wisconsin.
Wisconsin now has racist voting laws.
Randall, with the help of his daughter, petitioned the DMV to issue him a free ID for voting because he could not afford to pay for his Mississippi birth certificate.
After voting without incident in the formerly Jim Crow South, he was disenfranchised when he moved to the North.
Stories like Randall's are why the Wisconsin Supreme Court dubbed the voter ID law a de facto poll tax.
And it was blocked in state and federal court until a panel of Republican-appointed judges reinstated the measure in 2014.
Jeez.
Others blocked from the polls include a man born in a concentration camp in Germany who lost his birth certificate in a fire.
A woman who lost use of her hands but could not use her daughter as power of attorney at the DMV.
Another person who lost the right to vote.
How about a 90-year-old veteran of Iwo Jima who could not vote with his veterans ID?
What?
This is according to the nation.
Yes.
Holy cow.
So you think the Republicans would go, oh, that's bad.
I mean, I want to suppress the vote, but not veterans, not people who've, come on, not someone who lost their hands.
They don't give a shit.
They don't care.
Well, what's worse is their constituency doesn't care.
And what's worse is their constituency doesn't care.
By the way, neither does the media because they don't make a big deal out of this.
So here is a state senator who is a real, not, I've seen, we've talked about him on this show before.
He's a horrible human being.
And he got caught accidentally telling the truth.
When you get in trouble in politics, when you accidentally tell the truth.
And here he is going to tell the truth about voter IDs.
Ready?
Well, I think Hillary Clinton is about the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever put up.
And now we have Photo ID.
And I think Photo ID is going to make a little bit of a difference as well.
Whoa.
He just admitted.
He just admitted that voter ID is going to suppress the vote.
It's going to allow, because they're saying, hey, how is a Republican going to win Wisconsin in the presidential number?
Hillary Clinton's weak.
Plus, we're suppressing a lot of the vote.
We're not allowing a lot of our citizens to vote anymore.
That's how we're winning.
I mean, he said it to a news person with a camera on.
He just said it.
Glenn Grothman.
Glenn Grothman is his name.
Just said it.
Accidentally told the truth.
And I'm sure he's going to be forced out of a job and pilloried for, oh, no, nothing.
Nothing.
No one gives a crap.
It's fine.
We suppress the vote in America of poor people and black people and minorities in general.
And young people.
And the casualness of it, too, shows you.
Yeah, it's casual.
Did I see it again?
Yeah, let's watch it again.
Well, I think Hillary Clinton is about the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever put up.
And now we have Photo ID.
and I think photo ID is going to make a little bit of a difference as well.
It affects in 2012, African American voters in Wisconsin were 1.7 times as likely as white voters to lack a driver's license or a photo state photo ID.
So they're almost two times as likely as whites to lack a driver's license or a state photo ID.
And Latino voters were 2.6 times as likely as white voters to lack such ID.
More than 60% of the people who requested a photo ID for voting from the DMV have been black or Hispanic.
Well, all you need to know about photo ID as far as who it helps is who wants it.
Right.
The Republicans.
Democrats don't push for this stuff.
Right.
Well, and what the Republicans claim is that there's, you know, voter fraud on the part of the Democrats when the incidence of voter fraud is predominantly actually Republican voter fraud.
The opposite is actually have.
So it's funny you bring up voter fraud because this law also targets students.
Student IDs for most public and private universities and colleges are not accepted because they don't contain signatures or a two-year expiration date.
The standard student ID at only three of the University of Wisconsin's 13 four-year schools and at seven of the state's 23 private colleges can be used as a voter ID.
So only three out of the 13 colleges, state colleges, their voter IDs are acceptable.
And only seven out of the 23 private colleges' state IDs are acceptable.
So the majority of college kids aren't able to vote in Wisconsin.
And you say, but wait a minute, why would they want to suppress the votes of college kids?
Aren't there a lot of college Republicans?
Yes, but the majority of college kids vote Democratic.
So they don't care if they suppress college Republicans' votes too, because they're going to suppress more Democrats.
So they don't care if they disenfranchise even their own voter.
We take the way vote away from you.
I don't care.
We're going to take the vote away from more of my enemy.
There's still a net positive to them.
Net positive.
So Robert's point about this is to your point about where the real voter fraud is.
This is from the nation.
The defendants could not point to a single instance of known voter impersonation occurring in Wisconsin at any time in the recent past, wrote Judge Lynn Edelman of the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin.
It is absolutely clear that Act 23 will prevent more legitimate votes from being cast than fraudulent votes.
It is clear that the exact opposite of what they're claiming is going to happen.
And it's clear, of course, we all know that.
We just saw the guy admit it on television.
We don't know exactly what this is about.
And it's happening out in the open.
But you know who's the bad person?
Is that 50-year-old kid with a joint in his pocket?
That guy's a jerk.
That guy's a jerk.
But these people who are literally doing the most un-American thing you can do, take the vote away from people.
By the way, the other thing, the other element that we're not talking about right here is that all of these states that are suppressing the vote are trying to destroy early voting, vote by mail, absentee voting, all kinds of votes.
All the things that would allow, say, a student who lives out away from their district to vote, or which might allow an elderly person who's infirmed, who can't make it to the polls.
All those things that would allow for those people to vote as well are all also under deep, deep threat.
Weekend voting, national holiday elections, things that would empower people.
You remember Barack Obama pushing for a national holiday for voting, right?
No, I don't think I ever remember him bringing that up.
The current Democrats are such spineless pussies.
And this is proof of it.
The Republicans will, in public, in the light of day on a Sunday afternoon, walk into a television camera and say, we're suppressing the vote of our opponents.
And Barack Obama won't stand up and say, we need to make sure everybody can vote.
He won't do that.
He won't say, let's have a national holiday for voting.
For God's sake, it's about time.
He won't do that.
None of them do that.
The Democrats don't, they're not Democrats.
Say, you know, Will, Bernie Sanders will do that.
Let me just, Wisconsin had historically run elections better than almost anywhere in the country with consistently high voter turnout and reforms like Election Day registration in place since the 70s.
So Wisconsin had a great election system, high voter turnout.
That all changed when Scott Walker and the Republican legislature took over the state in 2011.
And let me just say this.
So when Scott Walker goes on television, do you think the reporters hold his feet to the fire?
How do you not bring this up every time you interview Scott Walker?
You still suppressing the vote of poor people in your state?
So when he goes on with George Snuffelopagus, you think George Snuffled says, wow, you're horrible.
You're suppressing the vote of the people in your own state.
You got elected and now you're taking the vote away from people?
No, and Democrats don't even say that.
Democrats don't even hardly bring it up.
So let me just conclude with this.
This is from a Republican.
It's just, I think, sad when a political party, my political party, has so lost faith in its ideas that it's pouring all of its energy into election mechanics.
Said Republican state senator Dale Schutz, shirt, shiltz, a rare dissenter.
He said this in 2014: quote, we should be pitching as political parties our ideas for improving things in the future rather than mucking around in the mechanics and making it more confrontational at our voting sites and trying to suppress the vote.
So they know what they're doing and they don't care.
So the party of racism is also the party of voter suppression, and the national press will treat it like both sides do it.
But everyone's the same.
They're just equal.
One side isn't evil or more evil than the other side.
No, no one's doing any of the other way.
And we can't call anyone a liar.
Go ahead.
I don't see a lot of Democrats trying to suppress the Nouveau Rich white vote.
I really don't.
I don't either, Robert.
I don't either.
But man, we really got to suppress the Klan vote.
And they pretend that they're putting out the scourge of voter fraud.
They have to so easily trot out that phrase as if it's an epidemic all over the country where people are showing up and pretending to be somebody else.
And it's happened in single digits.
Single digits for single digits.
0.06% is a conservative estimate.
Yeah, it's extremely the number of voter fraud incidents.
But compared to the number of people that Jimmy's just been saying, it's like, how this doesn't count as a crime against humanity.
So how this isn't people aren't, this is like a crime they're doing, but they're doing it in the legislature.
So they're just making it legal.
Like the way they made legal bribery okay for politicians.
Now this is legal.
It's to suppress the vote to go against the Constitution to do a thing that should be illegal.
Voter fraud, this is legalizing voter fraud, but in the other way.
So in theory, we all like PolitiFact.
In theory, we like people fact-checking stuff that's being said in the news by politicians and newsmakers and what have you.
That's a great idea.
PolitiFact, not really the best.
They need a fact checker.
We need a politi fact fact checker.
And that's what we're going to do right now.
So, you know, Bernie Sanders.
So they tried to, Bernie Sanders wants to send everybody to college tuition-free, which I've explained on this show before.
It could happen easily in America.
Could we afford it?
Yes.
Without blinking, we could afford it in America.
Okay.
So I've heard the number $60 billion.
That's what it would cost tuition-free colleges in America.
Some people say $75 billion.
It's $60, $70 billion, somewhere around there.
Okay.
PolitiFact decided to fact-check Bernie Sanders on that.
Bernie Sanders says Wall Street tax would pay for his free tuition plan.
So here's what PolitiFact says.
They say Sanders estimates that his plan to make undergraduate tuition at public colleges and universities would cost about $75 billion annually.
Based on his proposed College for All Act, the federal government would fund two-thirds, two-thirds would fund two-thirds of that cost using a tax on Wall Street trading.
But participating states would have to kick in the remaining costs.
So according to PolitiFact, Bernie Sanders' tax on Wall Street will fund two-thirds of that $75 billion.
I disagree about those numbers.
So do some other people, but we'll just go with PolitiFact.
I mean, I think the numbers are more favorable to Bernie's position.
But so Bernie says that it'll cover, they say it'll cover two-thirds.
Here's what the nonpartisan tax policy center analyzed Sanders' plan and put the yearly revenue from the Wall Street tax at around $50 billion to $60 billion.
Much more modest, but still enough to cover.
So Bernie Sanders says he'll raise, he says he could possibly raise $300 billion from his Walmart, from his Wall Street tax.
But here we are, we're going to settle on $75.
They say that nonpartisan tax policies say $50 to $60 billion.
But they are inherently a conservative organization in the sense that they undercore.
Right.
So, okay.
So, by the way, $60, so here we go.
Then they say, this is PolitiFact.
Then they say Sanders' $75 billion proposal is a federal matching program, meaning the Wall Street speculation tax would cover two-thirds of the costs.
They said it again, two-thirds of the costs.
States would be required to pick up the tab for the remaining one-third.
So one-third of this cost, according to PolitiFact, would be funded by the states, two-thirds funded by the federal tax on Wall Street.
There is some question if some states would participate in the program.
Recently, states have refused to be part of Medicaid expansion under a more generous style of cost sharing.
So they're saying, hey, some of the states might turn down the federal money for free college, just like they turned down the federal money for Medicaid, the free federal money for Medicaid.
A lot of Republicans, on principle, pandering to their base, turn down health care for the poorest people in their state, which everyone knows is economically a bad idea, and it's morally a horrible thing to do.
And bad economics.
I'll say that twice.
One more.
I got one more for you.
Sanders, so here's what they conclude.
So they just said, by their own admission, PolitiFact says that Bernie Sanders' plan will cover two-thirds.
Two-thirds.
Here's what they conclude.
Sanders has a point that his proposed Wall Street tax would cover part of the plan, but he left out the significant state contribution.
And it's not a sure thing that every state would join in.
So we rate his claim mostly false.
Wait a second.
Aren't states already?
I mean, he isn't he aren't states already basically paying for state university programs?
There is tuition at state universities.
This is what we're talking about.
There are already, so he's saying making it tuition-free.
They just admitted, by the way, their numbers are not correct.
So they're taking the lower number from the tax policy, the nonpartisan tax policy.
They're taking the 50.
So if you take the $60 billion from the nonpartisan tax policy center, if you take that number, that's 80%.
$60 billion is 80% of $75 billion.
So if you take the numbers from the tax policy center, Bernie Sanders' plan covers 80% of the tuition for colleges nationwide.
80%, if you take that number.
What did PolitiFact say?
Mostly false.
Mostly.
Not a third false.
Not 20% false.
Not mostly true, which is what it is.
It's overwhelmingly true.
So what they're saying is because there's a bunch of redneck governors who are asking Bernie Sanders is a liar.
That's what they're saying because there might be some southern governors who won't want to participate in this program.
Bernie Sanders is a liar.
So there you go.
PolitiFact, not so facty.
It's like political, polito-wish.
We wish it was mostly false, but it turns out we could send everybody to college in America very easily.
But our polito wish is that that's not true because somehow we've been beaten down in this country to think that liberalism doesn't work, even though the rest of the world is proving it to us on a daily basis that it works.
Denmark is proving it the happiest country in the world.
Look at our other Denmark video.
They make $20 an hour working at McDonald's.
You know why?
Strong unions, great economy, happiest country in the world.
PolitiFact.
This is Jimmy.
Jesus Christ, Jimmy, you gotta help me.
Congressman King?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jimmy, he's here.
Who's here?
Donald fucking Trump, that's who.
He's at your house?
Oh, St. Stephen, no.
If that asshole was in my house, I would have shot him dead by now and I'd be hollering standard ground to my lawyer while coming buckets out of my garage.
I'm sorry, Congressman King.
Where is Donald Trump exactly?
He's on Long Island, and that is too close.
Congressman.
I'm serious, Jimmy.
You can feel his gross presence.
It's like all of a sudden, all of Long Island smells like bullsweat and drack on noir.
Where exactly is Mr. Trump?
He's doing a rally or some shit out there with Pachogi.
Pachogi?
Yeah, every other town out here has some friggin Indian name or something.
If you've ever been to him, it's entirely possible Pachogi translates up to place of hairspray and teen pregnancy.
And where exactly is Pachogi relative to you?
What am I, Rand McNally over here?
It's freaking down there on the North Shore somewhere.
It's like a terminal moraine.
What?
What's a terminal moraine?
It's some geology thing.
It means shit flows downhill is what it means.
Anyway, he's having a goddamn rally down there.
And as I understand it, this is kind of a sensitive place for a Trump rally.
Oh, sure.
A couple of years back, some kids went out and beat a Colombian fella to death.
Because they were like, hey, I don't want to press one for English.
By the way, if you've ever been to Pachogi, you know this is the closest thing to an idea to ever come out of that ass town.
So they're still recovering from an anti-immigrant hate crime.
And Donald Trump is going there to spew all of his anti-immigrant hate rhetoric.
Well, to be fair, if what you're selling is idiot juice, you go where the idiots are.
So let me ask you, Congressman, if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, will you support him?
I will support him in the sense that I will assassinate him, then suicide by cop.
Oh my God, Congressman, that's terrible.
Look, Jimmy, I am not going to have the biggest wang on the planet running my country.
Wow, Congressman, you really hate Donald Trump, huh?
Jimmy, I endorse Ted Cruz.
You know what that was like?
It was like having gay sex with a fat dead guy, then sticking around the cuddle.
I've heard color an oscopies have felt better than endorsing that fucking troll.
And mind you, I get my calling oscarpies from a guy named Todd out of the back of his van.
Well, I know I've asked you this before, but why don't you break ranks?
Are we having this conversation again?
I'm not voting for abroad.
You got me?
Look, I don't like her, but I can't see why you wouldn't like Secretary Hillary Clinton.
She's basically a moderate Republican.
I am not voting for a girl.
That is that I have spoken.
But why, Congressman?
Why wouldn't you vote for a woman?
Because we're going to have some crisis and she's going to start menstruating all over the place.
And then everyone in the cabinet is going to have to talk to her through the bathroom door.
Congress, do you actually know any women?
Enough to say hello.
What about your wife?
Oh, you mean what's her name?
Yeah, she's around here someplace.
We're not real big on, you know, exchanging information with one another.
Maybe we want to watch TV together in silence-type marriages.
Well, what about Bernie Sanders?
Oh, yeah.
You mean the Jew who doesn't hate Muslims?
I mean, what the hell is that?
Sure, I'm going to endorse a guy who doesn't give his full-throated support to Israel at every turn because I really don't want to get re-elected in Long Island, where all the OJs live, if you know what I mean.
I'm just saying, Congressman.
I am not voting for a man who's running on a hemp can save the world platform or whatever.
Well, then I guess you're really stuck.
Mission, I gotta go, Jimmy.
Okay, Congressman.
Yeah, it's one of those lesser Catholic holidays today.
The feast of the Immaculate Sacred Molestation.
I don't know.
Anyway, we gotta have dinner and then kill a goat or something.
Well, thanks for the call, Congressman.
Sure.
Hey, wife.
Yeah, yeah.
I know you have a name.
Look, where are my feasting pants?
Well, I can't very well go to a feast just wearing regular slacks, can I?
God damn that, Mike McRae.
Am I right?
