The Jimmy Dore Show!
you Hello.
Mrs. Trump?
Who is this?
It's Jimmy Dore.
Okay.
And why are you a person making inside my phoneski?
Mrs. Trump, I'm a political comedian.
I'm like a, you know, funny reporter.
Oh, okay.
You funny?
Like clown?
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Okay.
Well, then we can make talk now.
Melania likes clowns.
So, Mrs. Trump, I guess I'll just jump right into it.
The speech you gave Monday night at the convention?
The one where everyone was making the look at me and with their ears.
Yeah, that one.
That was fun.
Now, just to be clear, who wrote that speech?
Melania wrote a speech.
You wrote that speech?
Of course.
I make all the words that come out of my speech hall.
Mrs. Trump, you'll forgive me, but your command of English makes me think you don't write your own speeches.
Yes, I command English.
I mean, if you don't write your own speech, it's okay.
Okay, Joe.
It would be normal for you under the circumstances to have several speech writers.
Sure.
Fine, buddy.
I'm saying everyone in professional politics has speech writers.
That's all I'm saying.
And everyone knows it.
There's no shame in it.
Right on, man.
So you can just admit you didn't write that speech.
The time right now is one o'clock.
What?
Mrs. Trump.
I write speech.
Okay, well, you know, you're on the hook for plagiarism then.
Hey, I'm not on the hook, fella.
You're on the hook.
Look, a large passage of your speech was almost identical, sentence to sentence, to Michelle Obama's speech to the Democratic Convention in 2008.
That makes sense, right?
Because Michelle and Melania are such same people.
Like we both have faces, right?
Mrs. Trump, with all due respect, you have nothing in common with Mrs. Obama.
We are both beautiful, strong black women, maybe.
No!
We both struggled together with our husbands in those early years there.
I have a question.
Have you ever said to your son, your word is your bond, or always treat people with respect?
How could I say that?
Mr. Donald dies all the time.
His word is not like a bond thing at all.
And treating people with respect?
No, they man.
Mr. Donald takes a poop on pretty much everybody.
The other day, he goes up to some guy he doesn't know and he's like, you're a son of a whore.
Put your mouth on my shoes and I'll give your money, your donkey.
Wait, Donald Trump did that?
Sure.
How could I tell little Baron to be nice to people when his papa is never around?
And then he shows up and he threatens to rape the money.
How can I say this?
But you did say that.
What?
Well, you said your parents taught you those things and you pass it along to your son.
What kind of crazy speech did I give, man?
Okay, Jimmy, I'm not going to lie to you.
Mr. Donald keeps me pretty drugged up, okay?
So I don't have to experience like all of them.
So sometimes I don't really know what's going on so much.
Mrs. Trump, my God, that's horrible.
Oh, you know, it's not so bad.
I get to fly in airplanes.
I get enough calories a day.
It's a pretty good life.
So what if I have to take all this volume all the time?
I mean, I bet there are starving Africa people who would love my volume and the old man sexy.
Mrs. Trump, it's not really my place, but why don't you divorce him?
Are you offering?
Because I'll make you the sexy with you all the time if you just don't drag me and let me wear clothes.
Um oh no.
What?
I've got to go to coming and I'm not supposed to have a fomski.
I'm sorry, my Jimmy, but I have to hide your voice back in my butthole now.
farewell.
We'll be right back.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the kind of people that are...
...the hellbent maybe on tearing down our nation.
It's hard to talk to K Value.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Duller.
It's Jimmy Duller.
Welcome, everybody, to this week's Jimmy Dore show.
A little bit of a different Jimmy Dore show this week.
Why is that, Jimmy?
Because we're on the road at the RNC convention in Cleveland.
It's tough to edit on the road, right?
So anyway, I'm going to tell you about what we've been doing this week.
And I just want to recap the RNC, okay?
So the first thing I want to cover is what happened on MSNBC.
This, you know, one of the big things I like to do here is criticize mainstream media.
That's kind of what this show really strives to do besides provide comedic views on our current events.
So this happened.
Maybe you heard about it.
Steve King, he's a congressman from Iowa, and we've made fun of him before on the show.
He's the one who said that Mexicans are coming over the border and they've got calves like cantaloupes.
Right?
Remember that?
Yes.
They didn't say something like they're 120 pounds and they got calves like cantaloupes because that's from carrying drugs.
That's what that was all about.
That's what he said that.
And, you know, I know I saw a few of them did have boobs like Kumquats, but other than that, I saw a guy with testicles like watermelons.
Zuckey and He's okay.
So anyway, so he was on with Chris Hayes, and they had a discussion.
There's a guy from the Atlantic, and he makes this point about the RNC.
If you're really optimistic, you can say this is the last time that old white people will command the Republican Party's attention, its platform, its public face.
Of course, I thought that was going to happen after 2012.
And I was, thanks to the good work of Congressman King, I was here now.
I think he'll still be around, though.
I think he'll be around.
But I'll tell you what.
In that hall today, that hall is wired.
That hall is wired by loud, unhappy, dissatisfied white people.
Any sign of rebellion is going to get shouted down or shouted down either, kindly or wanted.
But that's what's going to happen.
Okay, so that was Charles Pierce.
Now he's a very sane, straightforward talker, writer for The Atlantic.
And he's on Offen on MSNBC.
He's one of the bright spots on there, often speaking candidly about the serious issues of the day.
And so that's great to see that they bring him on.
Kudos to MSNBC and Chris Hayes for doing that.
Now, Steve King responds to that accusation that the RNC is, you know, the last, this is the last gasp of the white people being angry.
And so here's what Steve King says.
This whole seat people business, though, does get a little tired, Charlie.
I mean, I'm going to ask you to go back through history and figure out where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you're talking about.
Where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?
Than white people?
Then Western civilization itself that's rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe, and the United States of America, and every place where the footprint of Christianity has settled away.
It's all of Western civilization.
What about Western civilization?
I don't want to sit here and argue.
What is that?
We're not going to argue the history of Western civilization.
Let me know.
So that was Chris Hayes.
There's a white racist spewing pretty clear racist garbage on his national news show that he gets paid millions of dollars to do every year.
So he gets paid, you know, over $100,000 a week.
I can't get over that to do an hour show a day.
And so somebody just spewed that.
Now, you think he would kind of shut down the show and just kind of attack that and kind of knock that down and kind of humiliate Steve King for being a racist and talk about how horrible it is that this guy's in government, that we bring him on our show, that he's allowed to say that stuff, that here we are denying, you know, trying to deny racism by using racism.
And by the way, there's a black woman sitting to his left, Chris Hayes, who he has already shushed a couple of times.
She wanted, he said, we're not going to debate the history of civilization here.
And she said, how about we debate the history of the United States?
And he shut her down.
And he shut her down so he could say this.
For the record, that if you're looking at the ledger of Western civilization, for every flourishing democracy, you have, you know, you've got Hitler and Stalin as well.
So there's a lot on both sides.
Okay, Congressman Steve King.
So his big point was he brings up Stalin and Hitler, by the way, smiling all the way.
So Chris Hayes at no point ever goes, well, that's pretty offensive.
And I'm pretty sure that's really blatantly racist.
Like, I don't even have to think about it.
And that's kind of ridiculous also because of all the things that other cultures have brought.
He says subcultures.
What are the other things subcultures have found?
Well, my friend Johnny Adirolla from the Young Turks did literally, he spent about five minutes looking up stuff.
Other cultures have, other subcultures, as Steve King says, have contributed to society.
By the way, I love how he says, he won't say white people.
He says Western and Eastern Europe and the United States, which, you know, of course, he means white people.
Again, that's the gutless racist, right?
So Steve King would be the gutless racist, afraid to actually say his racism.
He uses dog whistles, right?
So that's what that is.
And so let's, so here's the Johnny Idirola put this together.
Again, he said he took him about five minutes and he left a lot of stuff off.
So here I'm going to read from Johnny's list.
The Phoenicians gave us the first alphabet.
The Egyptians gave us paper, ink pens, makeup, written language.
Wow, written language.
That's kind of, I use that every day.
In fact, I'm using it right now.
The calendar, kind of important.
The Middle East gave us algebra.
China gave us gunpowder, the compass, printing, alcohol, paper currency, blast furnaces, belt drives, inoculation against diseases, oil wells, and negative numbers, right?
There was a time when that didn't exist, and then somebody had to invent it.
Isn't that interesting?
India, how about India?
In the year gave us ironworking and steel itself.
It also gave us microwave communications, which all satellites are based on right now.
They gave us the ruler.
They gave us shampoo.
They gave us cotton, cotton cultivation.
They gave us the Hindu numeric system, the concept of zero.
So let's go even further.
How about Latin and South America?
I don't want to leave out Latin in South America.
They gave us birth control, submarines, color TV, and mobile phones.
So that's just a very cursory, very quick.
It took my friend Johnny I to roll up five minutes to come up with that list, and he left a lot of stuff off.
And let me just say, between Steve King and uninterrupted Trump rallies, racists always have a free platform with Chris Hayes on MSNBC.
And why do I say that?
Because, well, let's go back.
And here's how Chris wraps up the segment.
Now, I'm not cutting out anything.
I'm going right back to where I left off.
All right.
So I'm not jumping around.
Here's Chris's last point about Stalin and watch how he wraps up.
He doesn't let the black woman speak.
He doesn't let the other white guy shout this guy down.
He spends a tenth of a second knocking down what Steve King says.
And he does it all with a smile on his face.
All right.
So keep that in mind.
He's smiling almost the whole time he's saying this.
Okay, here we go.
That if you're looking at the ledger of Western civilizations, for every flourishing democracy, you have, you know, you've got Hitler and Stalin as well.
So there's like that.
There's a lot on both sides on Christianity.
Okay, Congressman Steve King, they were hates the pioneers and agnosticism.
Congressman Steve Steve is investigating.
Oh, my goodness.
All right.
We're not going to learn in cable news.
We are not going to resolve the relative strengths of various strands of civilizational prowess.
And so what I will do is thank Congressman Steve King for coming.
Come back anytime.
Oh, my God.
So I don't know if you saw what happened.
So Chris Hayes throws out the Stalin Hitler thing.
And then Steve King responds to the Christian civilization.
And then the black woman says, I'm a Christian and I want to, and then Chris Hayes again shuts her down.
Let Steve King sit there and spew his racist garbage, and then he shuts down the black woman who wants to kind of give a counterpoint, wants to push back a little.
He stops her repeatedly.
And I love how he says, you know, contributed to what, you know, they've cons, first of all, Chris Hayes needs bigger glasses.
He can't see reprehensible racism when it happens right in front of him.
Thank you for laughing stuff.
You know, before seeing the Republican convention, I didn't realize how hard it is to be white.
Old white men don't get enough acknowledgement in our society.
Isn't that true?
$20 bill?
Don't ever change.
By the way, Steve King introduced an amendment to prevent Harriet Tubman, an abolitionist and woman suffrage hero, from being on the $20 bill in case anybody was wondering if Steve King is innocently naive about race.
Okay.
You know, there is something lovable about a white supremacist who talks about subgroups with a twinkle in his eye.
And I guess Steve King believes that the Dark Ages was caused by dark people, not by white people.
And he does sound almost as stupid as his brother Peter King.
Oh, come on, we're not related.
And let me just make this, let me just give you writing, astronomy, mathematics, agriculture, all developed in Asia.
And certainly Congressman King is a good Christian, right?
He's a good Christian and a follower of Jesus.
You know, Jesus, that nice white guy from Western Europe.
Remember when Jesus was born in England?
Remember that when that happened?
Remember, I think, was it England or Norway?
I'm pretty sure with some Western civilization, Steve King, you know, I sleep peacefully at night knowing there are morons like Steve King in our government, don't you?
So there you go.
And I just got to say, that may be one of the most reprehensible things that I've ever seen a news host do.
So April Ryan, by the way, is the black woman's name, and she was really chomping at the bit to push back against Steve King.
Chris Hayes stops her twice, all the while giggling, all the while giggling.
And I think that's the part that really grosses me out.
Now, Chris Hayes, he did, I'll give him a little credit.
He came on Twitter.
I didn't see his, he came on Twitter and he did apologize.
Really?
He did.
Well, he said it wasn't my best moment.
And he said that he got, it was, he, he rushed to a break and was giggling mostly out of being uncomfortable.
And he said it wasn't my finest moment.
And so I just tweeted back to him and I said, I said, do you ever get angered into being angry?
Or do you always get uncomfortable into dismissing gross racism on your show?
Of course, he didn't respond to it, but you and I both know that he does listen to our show because he told Jank Uger that.
So we know that.
So that's okay.
Good for Chris to acknowledge that he did something wrong, but oh my God, that's just the way they report.
And I started to think about it.
Have I ever seen Chris Hayes get angry about anything?
All the horrible things he has to report on, all the lies from politicians, the fact that his own news station that he works for that pays him millions of dollars a year to sit there and talk to us, that his own news station is giving a platform to this racist Donald Trump, not fact-checking him.
First of all, they shouldn't even be airing his speeches, but they air them live and unedited.
They let it air.
Donald Trump's kids speak live and unedited, and they never fact-check.
Like, you should, I would like to see Chris Goodilla angry instead of giggly uncomfortable.
And so this was gross.
I don't know how you feel about it, but that was pretty gross.
And that's what's wrong with mainstream news media, right?
There's Chris Hayes banking.
And he turns to Steve King, and he doesn't go, wow, you're a horrible racist.
And that was disgusting.
And wow, I really wish you wouldn't say that stuff.
And it really is a bad day for America that you have a position of power.
Like he would never say that.
You know what he did say?
Hey, thanks for coming back out.
You're welcome back anytime.
Steve King, you're always a friend.
Giggly, giggly, giggly.
What the F is wrong with him?
What is wrong with his brain that a guy just spews the most offensive in front of a black person, by the way?
Does it in front of a black person?
You don't let the black person respond.
And then you turn and with the biggest smile in the world, you say, thank you for coming on.
Shake his hand, and you're always welcome back.
No, I don't know about you, but that good job, Chris Hayes.
Fantastic.
It just goes to show you anybody.
And he's an Emmy Award winner, by the way.
So it just goes to show you news reporting, not that hard.
And everybody thinks, and by the way, Chris Hayes, one of the better ones people say, oh, he's good.
Oh, he's good.
And that's what's wrong.
Oh, my, if that's what's wrong.
I mean, if that's what's considered good, it happened right in front of his own face.
He's wearing glasses.
You think he would be able to see it.
So we spent some time, Steph and I, going around outside the convention hall into the streets where people are protesting.
And I've got a great video of kind of a real tense situation of what the cops did.
And, you know, there's not much audio to it.
So I really, it's all kind of visual.
So I did make a video of it.
And it's up at the Jimmy Dore show YouTube page.
So go check that out.
That's youtube.com slash the Jimmy Dore show.
So there's some great videos up of what we saw, how the cops were handling protesters.
And turned out it was pretty frightening.
It was pretty frightening to see how they were trying to be military.
They were trying to do military maneuvers.
And I'm not kidding.
And so you have to go see that video.
But Steph was out and she ran into a delegate.
And so we have some of that audio right here that she got.
Now, Steph, I want you to, you were out walking around.
There was a, you saw a delegate from California, a Republican delegate.
And was he a black guy?
Yes.
So he's a black guy.
And let's just go one of just.
James Space, James Spencer.
So it's a Republican delegate, a Republican delegate from California, James Spencer.
And let's listen a little bit.
Now, this is a guy who's, again, supposed to be interested in politics, supposed to know what's going on, at least in, and here's what happened.
Let me just say that I was just walking down the street where they're all doing interviews out there.
And so I just walked up in the middle of this interview to this guy because he seemed like he was chatty.
So I was like, okay, let's see what this guy has to say.
I didn't come to Italy and Italy and say, hey, I'm a minority.
Hey, I'm a black guy from America.
I need some benefits, baby.
And y'all better start putting everything in English so I can read it.
Matter of fact, I'm going to bring all my family over too.
Y'all better take care of us and provide us with all things that we need.
So now this sounds like your standard run-of-the-mill kind of, I don't like immigrants coming here wanting everything.
Immigrants want come here.
They want it.
So that's what this sounds like, right?
So you're demonizing, again, people who want to experience the American dream.
They want to come to America.
And again, it's, I'm angry at people with no money and no power.
That's who he's angry at, which is kind of like that's the refrain of the Republican Party or conservatives for sure.
Here we go.
This is America.
Be strong for the young people.
Don't ever let nobody say you're a bad country.
I remember every morning when I went to school, we placed allegiance to the flag.
Every morning.
This is the greatest thing.
So that's why we're the greatest country because when he was a kid, every morning they would pledge allegiance to the flag.
Greatest country.
So that's that.
That was a great reason.
Nobody wants to leave this country.
Everybody's dying to get in this country.
You hear about it every day.
People come in.
Cargo shits in China.
People come out right across the dancing.
People trying to swim.
Swim.
If this country's so bad, why are they coming here?
You know why most people want to come to America?
So that's kind of like the ultimate straw man.
Well, this country's so bad.
Nobody says this country's so bad.
People say there are problems with this country we want to fix.
That's what you're supposed to do.
That's why we have a government to make sure things, when problems come up, we fix them and make things better for people.
You know, like Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, things like that, right?
Those are the kind of things.
You know, so when things come up, we try to fix it.
And so then he puts up this huge straw man.
And now watch how many times when Steph starts to ask him questions back, watch how many times he changes the subject, deflects, and moves the goalposts, right?
Watch.
It's the classic, horrible, underhanded debating tactic.
So here we go.
You want the benefits.
That's it.
Most people don't want to be American citizens.
That's where we have a problem.
They want to be American citizens.
They just want a green car, get the same beneficiary.
So this is, again, demonizing the people with no money and no power.
They don't want to become a citizen.
They just want the benefits.
It's just one, and especially from a black guy who this is the same tactic used against black people who have been the victims of institutional racism since the country began, right?
And we get new examples of it still happening every day today.
And this guy, so he takes that horrible, inaccurate, and race-baiting criticism of poor black people that conservatives always wing at them, that they don't want to, they just want the benefits, they want the goodies Obama's going to give them, and they don't want to work.
He's doing it now and he's applying that to so anybody who's poorer and has no power, that's who they're angry at.
I know, I have a brother like that.
He's so angry at, oh, he's saying, you know, who caused the stock market crash?
Poor people who bought too many houses they couldn't afford.
That's what my brother says.
And I was like, I know, I know.
I knew it had to be people with no money and no power.
I knew it had to be.
It couldn't be billionaires on Wall Street.
It had to be somebody with no money and no power who was to blame for the crash of our economy.
So that's what this guy's doing.
So let's get to the part where you start asking questions.
One thing you don't have to do is vote.
But if I vote on any issue and you've got a green card, guess what?
You still get the same benefits, right?
The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.
This is America.
Why are you poor?
Why are you poor?
Because we need jobs.
No, no.
Well, then, guess what?
Who gave the jobs away?
They went away.
They went across to other countries out of our country.
Like I said, what did Donald Trump just tell you?
Tell me.
You got what?
Dumb leaders.
So he just started out by saying you shouldn't be poor in America.
And Steph makes the point: well, our jobs were sent overseas to even poorer, more desperate people in other countries.
And then he's twice by, see, you got to have better leaders.
So he just completely ignored his point that you shouldn't be poor in America.
And now he's saying, well, we got bad leaders, and that's why we don't have jobs.
So totally undercutting his argument.
So I don't know how of use this conversation is, but I think it is really exactly.
This is like the typical, typical Republican voter that I'm finding.
This is be the typical.
So that's why this is worth showing and worth listening to.
So we'll just show you this one conversation with this one guy, and you don't have to hear the rest of them.
Dumb leaders.
That's like, I don't know your name, but you own a company.
Stephan.
Stephanie, you got five kids work for you doing media stuff.
I sure do.
Okay, now you're doing some media stuff.
Now I come to you.
Hey, Stephanie, how much you pay your kids?
I'm paying them $20 an hour.
Well, Stephanie, I can bring you 10 people that work for five.
But they're Americans and I love them.
No, no, no, no.
See, they're what's up.
These are your leaders, though.
They're saying, oh, because I gave you some money.
I'm one of your big clients, media, and I call you.
So do we need regulations?
No, we don't need regulations.
We've got to enforce the laws on the books now.
So he's just spewing talking points he's heard on right-wing talk radio.
Tis what it seems like to me.
And he's heard in the right-wing news bubble.
He's just spewing things that they aren't really connected to what he's saying or to his argument.
He just and he keeps changing the subject, moving the goalposts.
Now, what if the guy said I could get you those workers, five workers said $5 an hour?
Well, wouldn't everyone who owns he expected Steph to say, of course I would take $5.
No, we wouldn't.
You don't have to.
You can share the profits.
Everybody can make money.
It's okay.
If you have a money-making venture, it's only morally correct, ethically correct to share the profits and the fruits of that to share it with the people who generate it.

Now, let's get back to the second half of the show.
Welcome back to the second half of the Jimmy Doer show.
We got a lot coming up in the second half.
We're going to hear my interviews with people on the floor of the convention, the Republican delegates on the floor, actually.
And we're also going to hear some of, we're going to take a look at some of the speeches.
But right now, let's get back to Steph's conversation with a Republican delegate from California and all the stuff he doesn't know about what's happening in the world.
So this is your classic Republican voter, this guy who just knows right-wing talking points to repeat, but they don't really connect with anything and he doesn't even understand what they mean.
There's a little bit more to this.
What would be one of the laws that we'd need to enforce so Donald Trump doesn't send his Thai company elsewhere?
It's like he just said he's going to bring the jobs back and he admitted it.
Why did he wait until he became as a nominee?
He atones for his mistakes.
Most people don't even say hello, the emails don't know.
Oh, the emails don't know.
Oh, wipe them off.
So I don't know if you know.
So I don't know if I don't know if you noticed how he just changed the subject.
So she was asking about, well, Donald Trump sends all our jobs over to China to make his ties.
And he was saying we just need to enforce because Steph is like, well, do we need regulation to make sure people don't send jobs overseas so we can have them here for our workers, the people who want to work?
And he said, no, we just need to enforce the regulations on the books, which is another talking point, which is what they usually use about gun control.
That's what they say about gun control.
We don't need no new gun laws.
We just need to enforce the gun laws that are on the books.
That's what they say.
And he's misapplying it now to this other argument about offshoring jobs and then giving tax credits to the companies that offshore them and guys like Donald Trump doing that.
Like the guy, he's upset about us sending jobs overseas.
He's supporting the guy who currently sends jobs overseas, right?
So you kind of got him there.
And what does he do?
Hey, well, Benghazi.
He immediately does Benghazi.
Immediately does Benghazi.
So this is a nice look inside the mind of a conservative.
Should we play any more of that?
You know, I just wanted to conclude with the idea that I asked him again about a livable wage.
And he goes, what do you think is a livable wage?
What do you think is a livable wage?
And like, you know, I'm saying, you know, I can afford to live in California.
And he says, ask me what a livable wage is.
And he goes, a million dollars.
That's a livable wage.
Okay.
And his point, his point was nonsense.
That guy's a delegate.
So just so you know, that guy is a delegate.
He's supposed to be the informed guy.
He's there to choose.
I mean, you have to run to be a delegate.
You have to get elected to be a delegate.
You have to then take the trip to Ohio.
You have to pay for your own hotel.
You have to buy your food.
You have to buy your plane ticket.
You have to take off work.
And doesn't know a damn thing.
Doesn't bother to know a damn thing because they stay in the right-wing news bubble.
They never challenge themselves to think outside.
And anybody who dares to tell the truth inside that right-wing news bubble gets immediately ostracized, like David Frum, right?
So David Frum, he was the speechwriter for George Bush who came up with the term axis of evil.
That's David Frum.
He started telling the truth about the Republican Party a couple of years ago, and they got rid of him.
Okay, just so you know, he lost his job at his right-wing think tank.
He was ostracized and made fun of.
And so that's what you, that's the reward they give you in the conservative movement for telling the truth.
And that's, and this is, by the way, so this delegate is the result of 20 years of foxification of the Republican Party and 40 years of Republicans telling them you can't listen to the news media.
They're lying.
They're liberal, even though they're all owned by six corporations.
Somehow they're liberal.
They're owned by the biggest corporations in the world.
Somehow they're liberal.
So that's 40 years of them saying that the news media, you can't trust them, don't listen to the news, except ours, except us, except Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity and Mark Levin and Rosh Limbaugh and Rush Limbaugh too.
So that you can listen to them, but don't listen to.
And by the way, also their anti-intellectualism, right?
They've been on an anti-intellectual since I can't, since I've been alive.
The Republicans, they demean higher education.
You can't listen to the professors.
It's all an agenda.
It's all liberal, universal.
They poo-poo.
I mean, you heard Rick Santorum say, President Obama said he wants everyone to go to college.
What a snob.
So by the way, that's from a guy who has a master's.
That was Rick Santorum.
So this is the result.
So this interview, this little interview Steph did with this Republican delegate is this is the result of 40 years of them demonizing intellectualism, demonizing news, facts, information, science.
How about they don't even listen?
Don't listen to scientists, by the way.
That's another big thing.
So that after 20 years of don't listen to scientists, literally, don't listen to science.
Scientists are liars.
The scientific method is all corrupted.
This is their bad, has been their message.
And this is the result.
I just, you know, this is, I'm just saying, this is the kind of thing you don't hear from Brian Williams.
It's the kind of thing you don't hear from Scott Pelley or David Muir.
Who are those people, Jimmy?
See, you don't even know those people are, right?
Those are the mainstream news, Lester Holt.
They're not going to say it that way.
They're not going to frame it that way.
They're not going to tell you how we got here.
They're not even going to tell you how crazy that guy is, even if they air something like that on their airwaves.
So thanks.
Great job, Steph Zamorano, for giving us a peek inside the conservative brain.
It is a dark place.
So that was one delegate from California.
I went on the floor and we talked to a lot of Republican delegates.
Now, keep in mind, these are supposed to be very informed people.
They're interested in politics.
They became delegates.
You're going to be surprised at how little they know about what's actually happening right now.
Just keep in mind that the unemployment rate has been around 5%, 6% for a while.
Barack Obama is half the deficit.
He's dropped over 30,000 bombs on ISIS.
He's drone-bombed over seven different Muslim countries.
And so keep all that in mind.
I lay a little bit of a trap for these people.
I say, hey, what if Trump got the unemployment down to 5% or 6%?
And watch their, and they were like, oh, that would be great.
Well, it's already there and they have no idea.
So I do this over and over.
I'm going to splice together a bunch of those interviews and I keep making fun of Wolf Blitzer.
But just enjoy this, Chin.
All right.
So we're just going to go on the floor.
I'm going to talk to delegates.
That's what I was told to do.
Oh, look, there's Wolf Blitzer.
God bless Wolf Blitzer.
He looks great.
He looks fantastic, huh?
He looks like he's been dead for about five years.
So I'm asking delegates what they would consider a successful Trump presidency.
And I have a couple of metrics.
So, like, let's say, if he got the unemployment down to, say, 5%, would you consider that at a...
That would be an awesome president to create the jobs.
And he said he's going to create jobs.
And he's done that before.
So he's got a track record, so I do believe in him on that.
Okay.
And so what if, like, say, if the deficit, people are upset about the deficit, obviously, Obama's spending.
What if, let's say Donald Trump was able to cut the deficit in half in his first four years?
Would you say that's a big deal?
That's a huge deal.
To cut that in half, that would be, that would be unreal.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I think, again, I think cutting it even a small percentage would be successful after what we've been dealing with, but I think he's going to exceed those expectations.
Barack Obama keeps blowing up the deficit.
Yes.
So, of course, Obama has cut the deficit in half.
Not the dead.
But the deficit that he was handed, right?
So that's been halved.
He's also gotten the unemployment down to around 5%.
We're asking the delegates what they would consider a successful Trump presidency, say, four years out.
Now, economically, let's say he got the unemployment down to like 5% or 6%.
Would that be good?
Oh, that would be awesome.
That would be awesome.
I think anywhere better than right now would be successful.
And I think he will exceed expectations.
So I think anywhere we're at right now will go above and beyond.
We just need it to get down.
Oh, look, there's Wolf Blitzer.
Let's say Donald Trump dropped, say, 30,000 bombs in Muslim countries in a year.
Would that be considered like a muscular approach?
Has he dropped any at all?
Barack Obama?
He dropped some.
He's dropped some.
It would be successful if he did that, yes.
Let's say, for instance, Donald Trump dropped like 30,000 bombs on ISIS in one year.
That'd be a good start, right?
That would be an excellent start.
Where they keep telling that Barack Obama is afraid to drop bombs on terrorists, yet we know he dropped around 30,000 in 2015 alone.
He's dropped drone bombs seven different Muslim countries.
So also we've gotten that.
So it's funny to see that they don't know actually what's actually happening.
Not funny.
It's predictable, right?
Because we know scientifically that if the Fox News, the conservative news bubble, if you watch Fox News, the longer you do, the less informed you become.
That's been proven.
Oh, look, there's Wolf Blitzer.
Now, nuclear-free Iran is a big deal.
Now, if Trump was able to keep Iran nuclear-free, would you consider that a success?
Oh, sure.
Nuclear-free, absolutely.
His prosecution of the war on terror, what would you like to see?
That isn't currently being done by this administration.
I can't say anything specific.
I just know that if he says something, that he's going to mean it and he's going to do it.
He's not going to be vague with his friends.
And so if he draws a line in the sand, you know, he's going to mean it.
Oh, look, it's that sheriff guy.
That's that sheriff guy.
Wow, what would be a good question to ask that guy?
Do you know what Uncle Tom is?
Oh, right behind me is Sheriff Joe Arpyle.
Okay, it's not him.
But it looks just like, do people ever tell you that you look like a younger, better-looking Joe Arpaio?
No.
But I accept that, Confident.
Thanks for talking with us.
All right.
So you see what I'm talking about, right?
When you meet these people, many of them, they're good-hearted people.
He's a Christian.
He wants to help people.
I just don't understand.
Anyway, okay.
What is your thoughts on Barack Obama?
Failed presidency.
Oh, look, there's Wolf Blitzer.
Okay, so now you all saw Trump's speech.
It was over.
It was 75 minutes long.
It was him screaming.
It had no whimsy that he normally has or humor or goofiness.
I don't know, humor, but goofiness or looseness.
It was, man, that was a right-wing fascist all the way.
It felt like I was watching a bad movie about a right-wing strongman, except I wasn't watching a movie.
It was actually happening, and there were a room full of Americans, a hall full, a stadium full of Americans cheering it on, which means about half the country's cheering it on, which is really scary.
But let's get to some of the other speeches, shall we?
Now, the RNC, but I just want to play a little recap from the first night.
Now, this was put together by Rolling Stone, and we'll go through it, right?
So this is from the first, I mean, what you're going to notice if you've been watching the RNC is that it's a hate fest.
And what do I mean by a hate fest?
I mean that they're not united in their love for Donald Trump because they're not.
But what they are united in in their hatred for Hillary Clinton.
And so you notice many speakers, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, didn't barely even mention Donald Trump's name.
Donald Trump's name didn't even get mentioned in their speeches, and they were talking about conservative principles and conservative ideas.
And of course, Ted Cruz didn't even endorse him, wouldn't even endorse him, right?
Which the one decent thing Ted Cruz has ever done in his life was to have the courage to stand up there and not endorse Donald Trump, which a lot of people say was self-serving on his part, which is why he was able to do it, which is what I think too.
So here's that's what it is.
The Republicans are united in their hatred for Hillary Clinton, and they hate her.
And what the ironic thing, I'll just say it, is that a lot of the Democrats are united in their hatred for Donald Trump.
And I think that's just the worst way to vote out of hatred.
And so here I'm going to, here's the little recap of the first night that Rolling Stone put together, and we'll talk about it.
Benghazi was about opportunities.
Opportunities taken when we defied the stand down orders and opportunities squandered when Hillary failed to protect her people on the ground.
Okay, that was Mark Geis and John Tierden.
Those were two soldiers from the Benghazi attack, right?
So they fought valiantly during that attack.
And so they were, and then they used their valor to come back and blame it all on Hillary Clinton and say that, you know, and by the way, that went on for like a half an hour.
Yes.
For a half hour, there were two guys in jeans with their thromber in their pocket, and they were up there.
And this is what's called stolen valor, in my opinion, because they're using their valor to prop up Donald Trump, who let's remember, Donald Trump said his own personal Vietnam was when he stayed home from going to Vietnam and fought sexually transmitted diseases.
He said that was my own personal Vietnam.
And while he didn't go to Vietnam because he had bone spurs, he was also a star athlete at the same time.
So Donald Trump is just, you know, he's, that's stolen.
And then these guys couldn't wait to jump on stage to prop him up, these soldiers, right?
So it's the grossest form of manipulation.
And they just want, they literally went through what they did in that firefight.
Them retelling what happened, I think, took longer than the attack during Benghazi.
And again, let's remember Benghazi investigated, I think, nine times now, all by Republicans, and they've come up with Bupkiss.
Bupkiss, do you remember how stupid Trey Gowdy looked at the last, where they grilled Hillary Clinton for 12 hours straight.
You know, by the eighth hour, I started to want to defend Hillary Clinton.
So this is there's absolutely devoid of policy at the Republican National Convention, devoid.
And now I'm not able to watch the news coverage as much.
I like to watch the news coverage to see how, but I can't because I'm actually there covering it, right?
So I'm on the floor interviewing delegates.
And then when I'm not, I come back to the studio at the YouTube studios, and then I broadcast what's happening as I comment on the speeches that are being made that night.
So I'm not watching other people's coverage.
I'm actually covering it.
So I don't know how they're covering it, but do you think that's what they said?
Do you think, oh, wow, the Republican convention completely devoid of policy and they're all united in hatred.
It's a hate rally.
You know that they didn't do that.
And you know that they didn't talk about the stolen valor and that what are these two guys doing there and that this is an ugly gross manipulation, which all that stuff is.
And there's way more gross.
Actually, could it get worse than that?
Using by the using veterans who were in a firefight to not only trash the Secretary of State at the time, who all the nine investigations proved had nothing to do with it, or that they're using it to prop up a draft dodger like Donald Trump, who also disparaged veterans who were captured in war.
That's the thing.
You think veterans would be like, hey, you know, that's a bridge too far.
He came after our fallen brothers who were captured or killed.
So if Donald Trump doesn't like people who are captured, he must really not like soldiers who get killed, right?
Because that's even worse.
And so it just goes to show you the emptiness of not only the Republican Party, but people who use their patriotism in their service.
You know, McGovern wouldn't even mention his service in World War II when he ran.
Yeah, that was the thing.
They kept telling him, use it, use it.
And he didn't, he said that that's not what, because that's not what real war heroes do.
They're not proud of killing people.
And so that's just gross to use that kind of thing to prop up a political, I think.
And so here, let's go.
There's some more that from that night.
I use hashtag never Hillary.
That was Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
He was the head of, he used to be the head of the intelligence.
Can you believe that?
He would be held intelligence.
This guy gave a speech that was so rambling and repetitive, and people were streaming out of the hall.
And he was doing the hashtag Hillary's a crazy.
You know, it's just gross to see a guy from the military's doing stuff like this.
Let's go on.
That's what I use.
For all of this.
Now, this is Pat Smith.
She's a mother of a Benghazi victim.
And what Trump likes to do, what I saw at his Anaheim rally when I went to his Anaheim rally, is that they kicked it off.
I told you this.
They kicked off his rally by having women mothers of murdered children who were killed by illegal immigrants or undocumented immigrants.
That's how they started the rally.
Mothers on stage crying and blaming undocumented immigrants for the murder of their kids.
That could not be, that's the worst, most gross manipulation.
And some of them were crying.
So at the convention, they bring on a mother of a soldier who was killed in Benghazi, Benghazi, to use, and this is tragedy porn.
By the way, they talked about Benghazi.
It seemed like all night.
And it was just tragedy porn.
That's what we nicknamed it, right?
Those two soldiers talking about it.
It was just tragic.
And then this woman comes on and listened to it.
For all of this grief, for all of the cynicism the tragedy in Benghazi has brought upon America, I blame Hillary Clinton.
And then the crowd goes wild.
And of course, everyone sympathizes with that woman.
You have to, right?
Her son was killed in a battle.
Her son is dead now.
That's horrible.
Of course, her heart is ripped out.
And then, of course, they use that in the most disgusting way possible.
And that's just, I don't know if there's, there's, they hit new lows.
The Republicans find the ways to hit new lows.
So here, let's keep going.
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.
There's no.
So that was the chant that the Lieutenant General was encouraging.
Lock her up.
That's Lieutenant General.
That's right.
Lock her up.
And now here comes Mayor, race baiter in chief, Rudy Giuliani.
There's no black America.
There's no white America.
There is just America.
So now I don't know if you know Rudy Giuliani, one of the biggest racist race baiters in America.
We covered how the cop from the John Jay College referred to him as poisoning race relations beyond repair in New York City.
He said that Rudolph Giuliani never talked to black people.
He talked at them.
And here he is stealing a line from Barack Obama.
Here's a guy who's law and order and he can't help but thieve, steals a line from the current president.
That's Barack Obama's line.
So, okay, so that's just the irony of this, right?
So they have this, they have this guy come on, Rudy Giuliani, to tell us that we're all together.
There is no black America.
There's no white America.
There's just America.
You know, Jimmy, I interviewed a couple people and several people said Rudy Giuliani's speech was the best one that night.
They loved him.
Yeah, because it was fact-free.
It was fact-free and full of emotional pleas to hatred of Hillary Clinton.
And also that thing right there, which was ignore Black Lives Matter, that that's not a real thing.
Black people aren't persecuted in this.
There's no discrimination in America.
And if you say that, you're just being that I'm going to be not politically correct and tell it how it is.
Blacks are just whining.
That's what this is.
And that's Rudy Giuliani, racist in chief.
We cannot go down this road anymore.
We need to stop.
We need Donald Trump to fix this.
So that was Scott Bayo.
And who would know better?
Yes.
I mean, I wish he would run for president because then everybody would know who's in charge.
That's right.
Charles would be in charge.
So that is pretty Scott Bayo.
They had a lot of C Hollywood celebrities there, right?
So it was Scott Bayo was there, Antonio Salbato Jr.
They had some soap stars, soap stars there, soap opera stars.
They had some soap opera stars there.
And it was really a line of C celebrities.
There was more Hollywood celebrities, though, I got to say speaking than I bet you guarantee that you're going to be at the Democratic convention.
We'll see.
We should do a count, and I will.
So let's get to a couple of other wrong things that happened that night.
Okay, so here's Chris Christie.
So they bring Chris Christie on.
Now, pause for a second.
Now, just days ahead of Chris Christie's speech, a former aide of his had pled guilty, pleads guilty.
He pledged in a bribery case.
So it was David Sampson, former aide to Chris Christie, and involved in the Bridgegate scandal.
He pled guilty to corruption and bribery.
So just days ahead of the speech.
And here's Chris Christie's speech.
Hillary Clinton has a failure for ruining Libya and creating a nest for terrorist activity by ISIS.
Answer me now.
Is she guilty or not guilty?
So now let's figure it out.
Let's decide.
Hillary Clinton, as an apologist for an al-Qaeda affiliate in Nigeria, resulting in the capture of innocent young women.
Is she guilty or not guilty?
So, Hillary Clinton, putting big government spending financed by the Chinese ahead of good paying jobs for middle-class Americans.
Is she guilty or not guilty?
So we must ask this question.
Hillary Clinton, as an awful judge of the character of a dictator and butcher in the Middle East, is she guilty or not guilty?
So let's ask it.
Hillary Clinton, as an in-ept negotiator of the worst nuclear arms deal in American history, is she guilty or not guilty?
So once again, we need to ask as a flawed evaluator of dictators and failed strategists who has permitted Russia back in as a major player in the Middle East.
Is Hillary Clinton guilty or not guilty?
So let's ask the question.
Hillary Clinton, as a coddler of the brutal Castro Brothers and betrayer of the family of foreign fallen state trooper Werner Foster and his family, is she guilty or not guilty?
So as to Hillary Clinton, the charge of putting herself ahead of America, guilty or not guilty in Iran and Russia and Cuba.
And here at home for risking America's secrets to keep her own and lying to cover it all up.
So there you go.
That was Chris Christie.
That was all his guilties.
He was the one.
It was the big idea to have Chris Christie, whose former aide just pled guilty and they just set the date for the Bridgegate trial that's just starting September 7th of this year.
He was the one to come out to say Hillary Clinton was a criminal.
I mean, could they pick more flawed messengers at this thing?
That's who they picked to deliver that message.
Race, we're not black or white America.
We're not a black America.
We're not a white American.
Rudolph Giuliani, one of the bigger racists there.
And then to talk about someone else is a criminal, they bring on probably one of the big, the guy whose aide just pled guilty.
There's a trial for his bridgegate starting at September 7th.
Again, it's that black is white, up is down, in is out.
And I just, it kills me to not be able to see how the mainstream news media is covering this because you know it's not correctly.
You know they're not saying the things that they should be saying.
So let's go to Ted Cruz.
So what happened with Ted Cruz, everybody?
So Ted Cruz was set to speak.
I have no idea why Donald Trump would allow Ted Cruz to speak.
By the way, Ted Cruz wanted John Kasich to be his vice president.
This also came out.
They offered it to John Kasich.
And when Trump's campaign advisor offered the vice presidency to John Kasich, this is true.
They said, hey, look, that, you know, Donald Trump thinks his vice president should handle foreign policy and domestic policy.
Meaning, Trump doesn't want to be president.
He just wants to, you know, be important, feel important, and get attention.
He's not really interested in governing.
And we know that.
We know he's not interested in governing.
So John Kasich turned it down.
No thanks.
That came out.
That really came out that he wanted his vice president to do that.
So also, why would you let Ted Cruz speak?
He hadn't endorsed you.
You knew he wasn't going to endorse him.
So here's what Ted Cruz.
So it got so bad during Ted.
The only thing that was kind of nice was that the Republicans hear a room full of Republicans booing Ted Cruz because he wouldn't endorse her.
Here's a little bit of it.
So they're screaming during his speech.
I don't know if you can make it out.
They're screaming, endorse Trump, endorse Trump.
Oh my God, that's all the time we have for today's podcast.
I wish we had more time.
But you know what?
I'm going to do something.
There's a lot more to that, the Ted Cruz thing, obviously.
I'm going to put it in this week's premium.
You know, we're doing the premium a little bit different than we normally used to do it.
So the premium used to be like other stuff we didn't get to, but now we have all fresh stuff in the podcast that doesn't go up on YouTube.
It doesn't go anywhere.
The only place you can get our premium content is through the premium content, right?
So we usually have a couple, at least one sketch in each premium, sometimes two comedy sketches, and then we hit a couple of topics.
It's me, Mark Van Landuit, Steph, sometimes.
And we hit a couple of topics in the news, what's on our mind.
And it's a little more free-flowing.
So if you want to get a hold of the premium podcast, it's really easy, and it doesn't cost you hardly anything.
You just go over to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
You click on join premium.
You make your donation.
It's $5 a month.
$5 a month?
I think that you can spend that on a Frappuccino.
I don't know.
I never had one.
But anyway, what do you do?
You go over to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
You click join premium, make your donation.
If you pay for the whole year at once, we give you a month free.
He couldn't even get until it's less than $5 a month.
Less.
So go over there and do that.
And it's a great way to help support the show.
In fact, it's that and the Amazon.
Those are great ways to help support the Jimmy Door show.
Okay, guess what?
I'll see you in August 17th.
That's right, August 17th.
That's a Wednesday, 5 p.m.
It's going to be a live Jimmy Door show taping.
They're going to be surprise guests.
Surprise.
Ooh, you're going to go, wow, that guy's on the show.
I didn't know that.
Anyway, so that's going to happen.
And I have a link up over at JimmyDoorComedy.com.
They sent me three links.
One of them is for half-price tickets, one's for full price, and one is for comp tickets.
So I just put up the comp ticket link.
So Go over there right now.
And until they tell me to take it down, I'm going to keep it up.
So go over to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
You click on the link there, and I'll see you August 17th at 5 p.m. in Burbank at the Flappers Comedy Club.
We're doing a live Jimmy Door show.
Let's see you there.
Okay, so we'll see you then.
That's it for this week.
Today's show was written by Robert Yasamura.
That's right, Mark Van Landuit, Steph Zamarano, and all the voices today performed by the one and the only, the miserable liberal Steph Zamarano.
And that's it for this week.
Until next week, this is Jimmy Door saying you be the best you can be.
Oh, I'm going to be, by the way, I am going to be at the Philly for the DNC, and we're going to try to drop a couple extra premiums just to keep you up to date.
Okay?
We're getting the hang of how to do a convention.
There's a lot to it.
We're getting the hang of it.
All right.
Until next week, this is Jimmy Dorsey, and you be the best you can be, and I'll keep being me.
