Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show!
The Jimmy Dore Show!
Hello.
Hi, this is Jimmy Dore.
This is the Jimmy Door show.
Hey there.
Hi, who's this?
Oh, you're not going to believe it.
Well, just try me.
I'll give you three guesses.
Okay, three guesses.
Well, let's see.
It's Tim Kane.
I couldn't wait.
Oh, hey, hey, Governor Kane.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, Buster.
Buster.
How are you?
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
I hate you.
Thank you.
How are you?
I'm fine, I suppose.
Welcome to the show, Tim.
I have to say, you sound a little different over the phone.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
Well, what did you want to talk about, Governor Kane?
I just wanted to talk with you, Jimmy Door.
Just rap a little, catch up, see what's going on.
All right, that sounds good.
And emphasis on talk with you, not at you.
Now, I'm going to ask you a question here.
All right, go ahead.
Are you with her?
What?
Are you with her?
Well, you know, it's a complicated question, Governor.
There's not really a She is the Democratic nominee, but at the same time, she's with her.
You know, the amount of horrible things she brings to the table is unprecedented.
Are you with her?
No.
No, I'm not with her at all.
Even if I do end up voting for her, I will never be with her.
How could you even think I'd be with her?
She's a corporatist, a neoliberal shill, a warmonger, a financial puppet.
She's everything progressive politics rails against.
No!
Hmm.
Hmm.
Well, that's too bad.
That's too bad.
Not really.
Jimmy, did you play sports growing up?
Yes, of course I did.
Yeah.
Do you remember what it's like to be part of a team?
How important that was to put aside petty differences and just listen to what the team captain and the coach had to say.
Do you remember that?
Okay, you know what?
Don't even with this bull.
I'm not falling for this.
This is just another Hillary campaign tactic that is basically guilting people into supporting Hillary instead of actually addressing the flaws in her record.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
No, we all have flaws.
No one is running from any flaws here.
Nobody, and no campaign is perfect.
Hillary readily admits her flaws.
For example, she sometimes works just too darn hard on behalf of the middle class and working families.
I have flaws too.
I have had multiple affairs.
Wait, what?
Oh, yeah, Jimmy.
I'll tell you, when you look like a man who would never ever cheat on his wife, it comes at you constantly.
And you just get away with it.
It's the darndest thing.
Wow.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm a Democrat.
And more importantly, I'm part of Hillary's team.
And we need you to be on this team too, Jimmy.
Sorry, Mr. Kane.
I know you're doing your unspoken role here, but I'm not part of any team.
And I never will be.
I'm more concerned with truth and finding out what is really going on than experiencing some sense of belonging.
Oh, but it feels so good.
Yeah, I know it does.
That's the problem.
When you let yourself be overcome by this mushy, I'm part of a movement kumbaya feeling, you tend to not ask the hard questions about a political candidate.
Hmm, you are a tough cookie.
Yeah.
Jimmy, would you like to go play a sport or a game with me?
Throw a ball back and forth, or maybe just head out to a field or a dale and just simply wrestle.
Dale.
Look, Governor Kane, with all due respect, you're not getting this.
You aren't going to be able to camp counselor me into supporting Hillary Clinton.
Are you with her yet?
No!
Of course not.
You want me to support her?
Then explain to me why she is touting the endorsement of Henry Kissinger, who is essentially a war criminal and directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people overseas, who represents a phase of American foreign policy that should be repudiated, not continued, as Hillary Clinton has seen fit to do.
Jimmy, Mr. Kissinger is a famous and powerful man.
Hillary welcomes the support of Mr. Kissinger.
He makes our team stronger.
Not with true liberals.
He doesn't.
And not by a long shot, pal.
This is very simple.
We're talking about people who do bad things.
It really doesn't get any less complicated than that.
Quit trying to make it sound like things are too complicated for us to understand.
That's another trick your team uses to excuse this sort of thing.
Jimmy, the world is a complicated place.
God damn it!
But one thing we can say for certain is that Hillary is good.
Hillary is the light.
She's tough and firm, but she doesn't do bad things.
She's a Democrat.
That means she does good things, no matter what she does.
Do you see?
Do you see?
Not really.
Jimmy, when I was a young man, I traveled on a mission trip to Central America to work with poor, disadvantaged Rural workers.
Those kind people took me in and treated me like one of their own.
I learned Spanish words like ocho and mercado.
I've never forgotten the warmth and love that those beautiful human beings shared with me.
Years later, most of those people were killed as an indirect result of United States foreign policy.
The exact same type of strongman supporting foreign policy that Hillary Clinton advocates and will continue to implement if elected president.
Now, the irony is not lost on me.
I have night terrors and sobbing fits.
And this cognitive dissonance more or less fuels my sex addiction problems.
But I realize that I am part of a team, Jimmy.
Team Hillary.
I'm with her.
And I fear no evil because I am with her.
With her for eternity.
Join us, Jimmy.
Be one with us.
Be with her, too.
There is no fear with her.
No pain.
It is warm and bathed with light here.
Are you with her?
Are you with her?
Absolutely not, Tim.
I'm not.
Goodbye, buddy.
Are you with her?
Are you with her?
Are you with her?
It's the Jimmy Dore show.
The show for Luffy.
The kind of people that are.
Phil Vance may be on tearing down our nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say...
It's hard to talk when you keep asking.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
*Dramatic music*
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
I'm joining the studio from the Miserable Liberal blog.
It's our resident Latina.
It's Steph Zamarado.
Hey, Steph, how are you?
I'm doing pretty good, Jimmy.
Robert Yasamura is off this week.
Also, a lot of other people still off this week.
So it's just Steph and me this week.
Let's get to some of the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Oh, but hey, guess what?
I want to remind everybody.
August 17th, we're doing a live Jimmy Door show at the Burbank Comedy Festival.
That's this Wednesday, August 17th.
That's a 5 p.m. show.
Free tickets for Jimmy Door's show listeners over at jimmydoorcomedy.com.
There's a link on the right-hand side of the page under upcoming shows.
That's the complimentary ticket link for this Wednesday, 5 p.m. in Burbank, California, a live Jimmy Door show.
I want to see you there.
Complimentary tickets over at JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Yes.
Let's get to them.
You know, there's an anti-Trump bias in the media.
There really is.
And it's reminiscent of when the papers during World War II blatantly favored Roosevelt over Hitler.
Very much like the anti-Trump bias right now.
You know, saying Trump doesn't have the temperament to be president, that's like saying John Wayne Gacy doesn't have the sensibility to be an artist.
Am I right?
Todd Wayne Gacy joke.
It's from the 70s.
He's a serial killer, though.
There's no shelf life on that.
Hey, look, here's my impression of Paul Ryan.
Hey, look, I don't agree with everything Charlie Manson says, but I still support him.
That's my pressure to Paul Ryan.
Hey, many of the artists on Obama's summer playlist.
You know, Obama has his summer playlist of music.
You know, many of those artists on Obama's summer playlist were also on Trump's never rent apartments to people of this color anytime of the year list.
That's a long, it's a log name for a list, but it is.
It's the Trump's never rent apartments to people of this color anytime of the year list.
There you go.
Hey, Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilts Booth.
Second Amendment people who also wanted to make America great again.
Keep that in mind.
Oh boy.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
We've got a lot coming up on today's show.
Who's going to call in later?
Reince Briebus is going to call in later.
You know, he's got a lot on his mind.
We're going to talk about today.
We're going to talk about Don Lemon literally calls a liar a liar on his show and reveals that CNN forces him to do a particular kind of bad journalism.
No kidding.
Plus, all the liberal journalists over on MSNBC are having a clavich.
They're covetching.
They're kvetching over Hillary Clinton's war record.
I'm not kidding.
It kind of goes off the rails.
I'm not kidding.
That plus a lot, lot more that's coming up today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
Jimmy Dore Show So by now, we've all heard that Donald Trump called for the murder of Hillary Clinton if she appoints a bad Supreme Court justice by gun.
Anyway, so we heard him say that, right?
So Don Lemon on CNN, you know, CNN brings on people, they bring in a couple legal experts to talk about it, and they bring in a Trump supporter, surrogate, to defend Trump because they pretend that's news.
That's not news.
That's just giving a platform to a liar and propaganda.
And guess what happens?
Don Lemon actually calls a liar a liar.
We've said this a million times.
They never do this in the news anymore.
They never call a liar a liar.
The closest they'll say something like, oh, he overreached.
That's what Tom Brokoff says when the politician lies.
He overreached.
So anyway, let's watch a little bit of it.
Here's what Donald Trump said.
Remember what he said?
Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment.
By the way, and if she gets to pick, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks.
Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.
So now they come back into the studio, and Don Lemon's going to put it to this guy, Trump surrogate.
Let's see what he says.
Explain to us people who don't understand and that you'd want to laugh at what he meant by that.
Don, the man, I think we all know, is running for president of the United States.
He probably has some data that one-issue voters, a lot of one-issue voters vote on the Second Amendment issue.
It's clear he's trying to motivate people to go out and vote based on the potential.
It's clear he's trying to motivate.
So this is them just bringing on a guy to lie, right?
And that's what a guy, and that's what he looks like when he's lying because he's his lie.
It's clear, he said.
Yeah, you know what?
This guy's name, by the way, Dan Bongino Bongino.
Bongierno means hello.
Bongino means I'm lying.
With a straight fat.
I love when people get indignant while they're lying on TV, too.
This is my favorite thing.
But what is horrible usually is that they never say they're lying.
But watch this.
Watch what happens.
For an open Supreme Court seat.
How that's clear to you, that was some kind of call to an open revolution and to start firing your weapons at public officials is utter absurdity.
No one said that, Dan.
No one said that.
No one said that.
No one said that, Dan.
And if he wanted people to go out and vote, why not just say, go out and vote?
The Supreme Court depends on it.
Listen, the Second Amendment depends on it.
Why say something like that if that's not what he meant?
As someone who's running for leader of the free world, shouldn't he be as clear in his words as possible?
Go ahead.
Don, do you want me to answer that question?
Listen, we can disagree about how imprudent he worded that, but to suggest that he was calling to violence means to me that you came into this with the idea that Donald Trump was calling to violence.
Let me make the case afterwards.
You didn't come into this with a clear and open mind.
Listen, I endorsed Cruz in the primary campaign.
I'm not a Trump surrogate.
I'm supporting a view.
Yeah, what you're saying right now makes yeah, he just sounds like a guy who he's not as Trump.
He's not just like lie after lie, right?
Which is awesome.
Usually, but this guy's not being paid.
Usually CNN pays guys to come out and lie like this on their news shows.
As far as I know, this guy's not being paid.
So normally CNN pays for this kind of insight, but now they're getting it for free.
So you think they'd be happy?
Here we go.
No sense.
I'm sitting at home.
I'm watching Donald Trump.
I have two ears and I have two eyes and I can see the reactions of the people behind me.
And I'm not, we're not stupid.
Every single person you have on this panel.
We're very smart people.
David Gergen, I was respected.
Hang on, can you let me finish?
David Gergen, who's respected.
So now this guy just keeps talking because what he wants to have happen is he wants Don Lemon to cut him off because he knows he looks like a jerk and he knows that this tape is going to haunt him for the rest of his life.
And so now he's going to try and make the most out of it.
And he's going to try and get Don Lemon to cut him off and make it look like he was treated unfairly on CNN.
Well, so it happens.
By people on both sides.
By Republicans and by Democrats who've worked for Republicans and Democrats, who has worked for a president, who's had an assassination attempt, who's lived in presidents who's been assassinated, knew exactly what Donald Trump is saying.
And we're supposed to be stupid enough not to understand that and should believe the spin coming from the surrogates and for people like you.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
It doesn't make it.
So I haven't seen someone do that in a long time.
When was the last time you saw a news guy say, you should be ashamed of yourself to come on a news show and try to peddle that stuff?
That's beneath us.
It's insulting to our intelligence.
That's what he's saying.
This is beneath.
This is beneath a news show, which is weird because it's not.
Like Doc, like I said, they normally pay people to come on and say stuff just as dumb as that.
Okay.
They pay science deniers to come on their channel.
So let's want to say something?
No, no, it's fascinating.
This is very rare.
And for what, I don't know why Don Lemon thinks it's okay for him.
And they must have got a directive.
It's okay to now call out Trump people.
But no one else.
Specifically when he says murder Hillary Clinton.
That it's okay to tell the truth.
You can allow a little truth into this discussion.
Yeah.
Don, frankly, I'm ashamed that you're talking to me as if I'm a child when 12 years of my life.
No, you're treating me as a child because you're telling me what I'm learning.
So you were learning here and you're sitting here on television lying to the American people.
You don't know crap about this, Don.
You're a TV guy.
I was a secret.
So he just told the news guy, you don't know shit about this.
So he said crap, though.
For some reason, you can say crap on TV, but not shit.
I don't know why.
I don't know why that is, but it is.
So he just told Don, he's trying to get under Don.
You don't know.
What do you know?
I know every the guy who's a joke, right?
I don't know.
He was in the Secret Service, this guy, before he decided to make a joke of himself and become a maniac, which he is.
Hang on, here we go.
Service agent.
Now cut off my mic.
Do what you want.
I'm not going to cut off your mic.
I'm going to tell you that you're sitting here and you're lying to the American people.
You're lying to the American people.
And you know that you're lying to the American people.
I'm lying.
Dan Bodge.
Right.
Okay.
There you go.
I haven't.
What dimension did you find that in?
This wasn't Earth.
So why does Don Lemon think that's okay?
Like, that's not okay on CNN to call a liar a liar, especially somebody from the Trump campaign, which they're paying two people right now to come on CNN and lie for the Trump campaign, Jeffrey Lords and Corey Lewandowski, who was also being paid by CNN at the same time he was being paid by the Trump campaign, which is crazy unethical that they're doing that.
So you can't, that's not news.
I don't know what that is.
That's, you know, that's infotainment.
That's not news.
And so the fact that Don Lemon now says, you know, shame on you for lying like this.
You guys, your own news network pays Corey Lewandowski.
Your own news network pays Jeffrey Lord.
Your own news network does this, right?
They normally, the only difference between this and a regular interview with a Trump supporter on CNN is that this guy's not being paid yet.
So I don't know what else to say about that, except it's good to see Don Lemon do that.
I mean, kudos to Don Lemon for doing that.
Yesterday, there's another video on this channel.
He admitted that they're often pressured to make false equivalencies as journalists.
That if someone on one side of the aisle says something crazy, they're pressured to find something equally crazy and say it's all equal.
And he's saying you can't do this with Trump.
And now today, he's calling Trump surrogates liars on air and said you should be ashamed of yourself, which is what they should be doing all the time on the news.
But they don't.
You know what?
Like what Chris, so how come Don Lemon has the presence of mind to say that to this guy?
But Chris Hayes didn't have the presence of mind to say it to Representative Steve King from Iowa when he was on his show and said all that racist crap about subcultures and only white people contributing to our society.
Remember that?
Chris Hayes laughed it off and said, and he turned to him and said, you're welcome back anytime.
Don Lemon taking a different tack here.
Don Lemon standing up, doing what journalists should be doing all the time.
When someone uses your news platform to spew BS and lies, you're supposed to call them on it.
You're not supposed to thank them and invite them back because you devalue your news program.
Because now people turn on your news program and sometimes people are lying and sometimes people are telling the truth and you're not going to tell them when is which.
Don Lemon just did.
That is unbelievable.
I look forward to listening to Don Lemon's new podcast because he's going to be out of a job.
I think it's safe to say Don Lemon's lost access to Dan Bongino.
I think he has lost access to Dan Bongino.
No.
Ha ha ha.
No.
You *music* Have you heard the big news, everyone?
Senator from Maine, Susan Collins, is not going to vote for Trump.
Yes, Susan Collins, the Republican senator from Maine, has emerged from a hole and is shocked to discover the Republican nominee is an asshole.
Whew, this is big news because Susan Collins has a reputation for being a level-headed, reasonable member of a right-wing dog whistling racist political party.
So for her to do this is a big deal, right?
She's breaking with her party by siding with basic human decency.
It's a real, really sticking her neck out there, wouldn't you say, Hank?
So she's doing this.
She's breaking with Donald.
She's not going to endorse Donald Trump.
Well, first of all, there are three incidents that she says that went into this decision.
The three incidents in particular have led me to an inescapable conclusion that Mr. Trump lacks the temperament, self-discipline, and judgment required to be president.
And what was the first one?
The first was his mocking of reporter with disabilities, a shocking display that did not receive the scrutiny it deserved.
That happened last year.
I'm pretty sure that happened last year when he did that, right?
When he mocked that reporter?
Yeah, that was early.
It was early in the campaign he did that.
I want to say August.
He did that in October, maybe.
The second one was Mr. Trump's repeated insistence that Gonzalo Curiel, a federal judge born and raised in Indiana, could not rule fairly in a case involving Trump University because of his Mexican heritage.
That's more recent.
That's just like in the last month or two that happened.
That was springtime racism.
Yeah, that's springtime.
Flowers and the leaves are coming out.
Here she goes on.
This is from her op-ed that she wrote.
She goes on to say, for Mr. Trump to insist that Judge Curiel would be biased because of his ethnicity demonstrated a profound lack of respect, not only for the judge, but also for our constitutional separation of powers, the very foundation of our form of government.
What was the third thing?
The third thing was Donald Trump's criticism of grieving parents of the Army captain Humayun Khan, who was killed in Iraq.
It is inconceivable that anyone, much less a presidential candidate, would attack two gold star parents.
Rather than honoring their sacrifice and recognizing their pain, Mr. Trump disparaged the religion of the family of an American hero.
And once again, he proved incapable of apologizing, of saying he was wrong.
And that's Senator Susan Collins' three big reasons why she decided in August.
In August, now that his poll numbers are in the crapper, that she's going to take a moral stand.
You know, this was a timely, this was a timely and brave statement, Hank.
A timely and brave statement of political ethics.
If it was written six months ago, but it wasn't.
Now, yeah, you know what she did?
This isn't because of Susan Collins' morality, and she just couldn't, she couldn't cotton to this kind of a nominee.
This is because she did a little internal polling and she realized that this Trump guy is dragging everybody down.
So now it's time to cut your losses.
This isn't about her being a big person.
She's a politician in the Republican Party.
She's very happy with the Southern strategy, with dog whistles, with stopping government, with not giving a Supreme Court nominee, even a hearing for a whole year.
She's okay with all of that.
Supply-side economics.
By the way.
Well, and also for a Muslim family to prove that they deserve to be respected, they literally have to sacrifice their son.
Their son, their firstborn.
So all that stuff he said about Muslims, so when he said that Mexicans were rapists and crip, that was that wasn't enough.
When he said that stuff about John McCain, he liked soldiers who aren't captured.
Nah, I'll let that.
That didn't bother her.
The fact that he said he saw all those Muslims cheering at 9-11 didn't exist.
Ah, that, that, that, that, that, that, none of that.
She had to wait all the way till August, August 8th, before she was like, you know what, I just can't cotton to this.
And we all know, you know, it's funny, too, because she has set what integrity she's showing.
You know, after being in office through the Bush-Cheney era, it was a hard decision for Susan Collins to choose country over party because it's obvious she's never done it before.
Yeah, let's remember she was a senator during the Bush-Cheney era.
She was okay with that stuff.
So, you know, at this rate, at this rate, sometime this century, we're going to find out what Susan Collins' opinion is of the Dred Scott case.
So people, Hank, do you agree with me?
Like people bending over backwards to say what a courageous thing Susan Collins, oh, she's got in tech.
She won't take.
It's got nothing to do with integrity.
It's got to do with her polling that shows that the poll numbers on racism, xenophobia, and bigotry not doing well.
Yeah, it looks like leadership to people in the bubble because they know that this wave is coming and who are going to be the first waves to break.
That's sort of why they're going, whoa, she's really on the front forefront of this.
She's actually sticking her neck out here.
But no, she waited until it was completely safe to where it's always simple.
Yes.
It's always his presence and her support for him would cost her more than not.
Yes.
It's that simple.
And it's gotten to the point so much that he's now harming her.
So she's bailing.
Well, she finally sees the Donald Trump train wreck that is coming, and she's decided to take the bus.

Now let's get back to the second half of the show.
Do not freak out.
Hey, it's official.
Nine out of 10 war criminals officially endorse Hillary Clinton.
The latest, John Negroponte.
Who's John Negroponte?
Well, under Reagan, he created a staging grounds in South America for dictators, torture regimes, government kidnapping rings, and death squads.
Well, this November, he's voting for Hillary Clinton.
That's right.
In Clinton's recent press release, Negro Ponte proclaimed Hillary, quote, has the leadership qualities that Negro Ponte thinks is needed for the presidency.
Yeah, that's what we're afraid of.
That's a Hillary Clinton press release.
She's touting John Negroponte, who is the worst of the worst.
And guess what?
You know, it's funny that lefties want Donald Trump to disavow David Duke, but I don't hear too many liberals calling for her to disavow Negra Ponte and the 50 other neocon war warmongers that endorsed her recently.
William Chris, Bill Crystal.
They're all coming.
They're all coming around.
So guess what?
So I'm watching on the Chris Hayes show, and there was a gag of liberals who freaking just figured out and momently pulled their head out of their asses, and they've noticed that their candidate is endorsed by warmongers.
So here's Chris Hayes talking about this latest endorsement and all the trouble that's been going on.
Now, let's remember that Chris Hayes wagged his finger at Susan Sarandon.
He's on with Joan Walsh.
We're going to talk about this.
Let's get to it.
Here we go.
I mean, at one level, right, you, you know, we're trying to win.
You want as many people as possible.
At another level, there is this move among the most hawkish, neoconservative elements of the conservative foreign policy community, the Max Boots, the folks who were Robert Kagan.
Now, John Negroponte, whose history in South America is just death squads all over Central America.
Literally enabling death squads is a horrible person.
How does that, how should, how should Clinton supporters, liberals, war skeptics feel about that?
I think people should.
You know what, Chris?
You had somebody who told you how you should feel about that on your show a few months ago.
Her name was Susan Sarandon, and you called her crazy.
Remember that?
Remember that you wagged your finger.
What are you?
What are you nuts, crazy?
What are you going to do?
You had someone who was just as exasperated as you are right now on your show, and you dismissed her, marginalized her, and called her nuts.
And so did everybody else sitting at this table, by the way.
Now, John Negroponte, whose history in South America is just death squads all over Central America.
Literally enabling death squads.
Is a horrible person.
How does that, how should, how should Clinton supporters, liberals, war skeptics feel about that?
I think people should speak out.
I mean, the thing that Charlie Pierce, the point he made, is that they sent out a statement about it.
There are two different...
Joan Wall.
Chris Hayes, how should liberals react to this?
Joan Walsh, people should speak out.
Hey, guess what?
We did speak out about it, Joan, and you called us Bernie bros.
And you call us sexists and misogynists.
And you did the most underhand, creepiest, most.
That's what you did.
And when a real liberal came along with a clean record who wasn't a warmonger or in bed with them, what'd you do?
You crapped all over him and you smeared them.
And you called him a sexist.
You called me a sexist.
You called Jen Uger a sexist.
Chris Hayes called Susan Saran.
Hey, what are you crazy?
And now, but it's okay now that you, so now all of a sudden you all got your head out of your ass.
What was it that woke you up finally?
What was it?
Are you going to apologize now?
Are you going to apologize to everybody else and Susan Sarandon?
And Katie Helper?
Remember when you told Katie Helper?
I don't know what you're going through, Katie, but I hope you get over it.
What are you going through, Joan?
Joan, what are you going through?
I hope you get over it.
I hope you get over it.
This is what happens when you dismiss criticism of your favorite candidate as sexism.
Now you're stuck with her.
This is what we've been saying, you knucklehead.
Joan Walsh, suddenly noticing her nominee has waged wars on brown skinned people halfway across the globe.
You know what, Joan?
When you suddenly realize that your candidate has waged war on brown people all around the globe, you know what that is?
When you realize it now, that's white privilege.
That you didn't notice it before.
But now you notice it.
That's white privilege.
Joan Walsh is a self-proclaimed feminist who trolls feminists that think war is not good for women.
I've seen it happen on Twitter.
Here we go.
Keep Moore's Mortars.
Believe me, you're not going to believe all the criticisms that Chris Hayes and his panel level at Hillary Clinton right now.
You remember the person that we were criticizing in the same exact way?
And they were wagging their finger at us, telling us we're crazy and misogynist and we're sexists and we're pie in the sky and we're fairy dusters and wallet.
And we were damaging Hillary.
That was the last, the last thing was we were damaging Hillary.
This whole panel is going to sit here and damage Hillary for the whole segment.
Are you ready?
And what makes it gross is that they're all the same people who've been wagging their finger at people like me.
What's going on here?
Anyone, it's a free country.
Anyone who wants to endorse her is free to endorse her.
It's a unilateral thing.
You can't control it.
50 national security experts.
The Times writes about it.
It's positive for some people, negative for others.
When the campaign chooses to send out a statement, which sort of, which that sort of, which touts the endorsement of someone like John Negroponte, I think the left is right to scream about it.
Oh, now we have permission from Joan Walsh.
Now I can criticize her for being a warmonger, and you're not going to call me a message.
Joan Walsh says it's okay now because it upsets her finally.
Finally, she got her head out of her ass long enough to realize that her nominee is horrible, a horrible Walmart.
It gets worse.
Wait, wait, it gets worse.
Here we go.
Yeah, I mean, theoretically, right?
I mean, she's come from the State Department.
There should be people on her staff who say, John Negroponte.
Exactly.
Is this a guy who's suburban women that are thinking, I'm not going to vote for the endorsement.
I think you've got to weigh these things.
You know, I mean, frankly, I mean, the thing that I think there's a danger for Clinton here is that it raises.
Clinton did not exactly distinguish herself in the wake of the 2009 Honduras coup either, frankly.
Do you hear what Sam Cedar's bringing up?
They're bringing up everything.
Now they're bringing up Negroponte.
They're bringing up now Honduras that only the leftiest of lefty people have been ever talking about her role in that.
And now she's saying this is bad because of Negroponte, you know, because he organized death squads or what have you.
This might look bad.
This might make people, oh, yeah, Honduras and Negroponte.
And so with a guy like John Negroponte, it's very hard not to make that type of connection.
They should get on the ball.
This is an unforced error at best.
Sam Cedar is 100% right there.
You know what else is an unforced error?
You know what else is an unforced error?
Iraq, Honduras, Libya, Syria, the Patriot Act, the TPP, NAFTA, Glass-Steagall, Keystone Pipeline, fracking, deportations, and making Hillary Clinton the nominee also an unforced error.
It's like, I swear to God, it's like these liberals are just waking up, like, oh, my God, she's horrible.
Yes.
Here we go.
There's more.
Yeah, and I also think there's a deeper question, right?
I mean, which is that the sort of what the foreign policy direction of this all looks like.
I mean, when you look at.
So now Chris is going to get worried about foreign policy.
Hey, I never thought about this before.
It turns out Hillary Clinton, watch domestic policy.
Those stakes are so nailed in the ground in some ways, right?
I mean, like, just the composition of what Congress will be, the Senate, the House, the platform, the promises, the constituency groups, all that stuff is sort of there holding it together, right?
She can't suddenly be like, I'm going to build a wall.
And it's what she believes.
It's what I believe she believes.
So it's not a stretch for her.
Foreign policy is.
So Chris Hayes just said, you know, domestically, her hands are kind of tied.
There's lots of groups invested in the status quo, and it's hard to get things done internally, domestically.
It's a bigger, there's lots of groups that know everything about what's happening.
But now he's going to say, but foreign policy-wise, she can do whatever she wants.
And here he's going to say that.
Russia invades Ukraine tomorrow, you know, on day one of the presidency.
Right.
That's when the president is at its most powerful, and who knows?
And who knows?
He's like, it's like the first time this idea ever entered his mind.
You know, if Russia decides to invade Ukraine, she's the president, and she's listening to Negroponte and Kissinger and Bill Kristol.
Yeah, you never thought about that before, Chris.
What do you think Susan Saranda was saying to you, you $6 million knucklehead?
What do you think she was saying to you when you were dismissing her, you smug moron?
What do you think she was saying?
What do you think we all have been saying?
And now he's like, oh my God, Hillary Clinton is a freaking warmonger.
Look who she's cozy.
First day on the job, Chris, didn't they see any of this coming?
None of you guys, none of you saw this coming.
None of you.
And the people who did, you called pie in the sky, you called them instincts are more on the, you know, you know, you know, go to war.
So now they shift from that to him saying, you know, her instincts are more to go to war.
Hillary Clinton.
He didn't want to say warmonger.
So he's like, her instincts are, he's, look, he saw him looking, searching for the word, and he goes, to go to war.
And Chris says interventionists, which is a very Orwellian way to say warmonger.
Her instincts are interventionists.
What a watered-down word for a warmonger.
Her instincts are to bomb people she doesn't know.
And I hope I'm not going to sound sexist when I say this.
We'll let you know.
It's always a good way to start.
Keep going.
Please continue.
As the first, as the first woman president, will she be under pressure either self-imposed or from the question?
Self-imposed particularly, I think, is in some ways the most important in that way, right?
Like the conception of, and clearly it was something they thought about a lot in 2008.
That's why she didn't, you know, reportedly why she never apologized for her Iraq vote in 2008.
So let me just break down what they just said.
He's just saying, he just said that, oh, she doesn't want to seem weak.
Women don't want to seem weak.
So her internal criticism of herself, her pressure on herself to be strong is, and then she said, that's why she never apologized for her Iraq war vote in 2008.
This was talked about.
Two that I really don't want to drop is the Kissinger endorsement, which everyone keeps floating.
And I mean, again, I'm not going to say, you know, it's almost midnight.
I will not go through the Kissinger record, but again, you could read a bunch about go to my website.
She's odious.
And first, let me just say this.
So he's acting, again, disgusted about this, like surprised about all this.
And then Kissinger, and that she's touting stuff like that.
You don't get to act surprised about it, Chris.
That's the thing.
Nobody is allowed to act surprised.
Even after Bernie Sanders showed up, Hillary was bragging about being Kissinger's favorite daughter.
And you didn't say anything about it.
These are liberal frauds, okay?
That's what this is right now.
It's like the first day of the campaign to Chris Hayes.
He has no idea.
As if there wasn't half the Democratic Party screaming this at him For the whole campaign since last August.
And now they're like, hey, you know, now that I think about it, this is really horrible.
Horrible.
And again, it's just, you know, the Kissinger thing says to me also, we keep talking about like, well, who's going to be held responsible?
And people, what are people?
Rap Hayes is going to be after the Trump thing.
And it's like, well, wait a second.
Wait a second.
Henry Kissinger, if he's going to be welcome in open arms, I'm like, hey, we got the husband.
What that says is no one will be accountable for Trump.
Were the people that backed him were the people that went along with all his odious things?
Because if it's in the same cycle, we're saying, so think about what Chris Hayes just said.
I've been asking the same question about, wow, the Republicans who are now getting on board behind Donald Trump and supporting this should be ostracized from polite society forever.
There should be a price to pay for this for backing this fascist, the guy, there should be a price to pay.
So what Chris Hayes just pointed out accurately is that there is going to be no price to pay.
If she's in bed with people like Negro Ponte and Henry Kissinger, there will be no, how can you now turn and try to hold people accountable for supporting you're in bed with people Donald Trump never committed a war crime far as we know worst he did is he offshore he offshored his tide manufacturing so you can't now get mad at someone supporting him when you're in bed with Henry Kissinger that's what Chris Hayes just said so
So there will be no accountability for any of this.
Why?
Because they're horrible people who are running our country.
The establishment is messed up.
Chris Hayes is just coming to figure this out.
Because when Bernie people were yelling that, it didn't get through the $6 million he has stuffed into his ear holes.
Think about how much money that is a week.
He's arguably a Democratic Richard Nixon.
I actually don't.
He just called her a Democratic Richard Nixon and nobody said anything.
Joan Walsh didn't go, oh, you Bernie bros, white privilege.
How dare you?
They just let him say it on television.
He just called Hillary Clinton Richard Nixon.
And nobody said anything.
So apparently we weren't crazy.
It's not that Hillary Clinton is embracing Henry Kissinger and John Negroponte.
It's that those guys are embracing Hillary Clinton.
And it's nice to see the liberal elite, Chris Hayes and Joan Walsh, get caught totally blindsided that their candidate of choice is horrible.
And it's scary to think about what she might do.
They're scared.
Chris Hayes is scared.
Russia invades the Ukraine.
Holy crap.
Way to go.
Way to go.
It's nice to know that when a real liberal showed up, you guys smeared him.
Nice to know.
Way to go.
You fake liberals.
Hello, Republican Party here.
Don't forget to catch Star Trek Beyond Now in theaters.
In this third installment, they go to space again.
God damn it.
Okay.
Hi, is this Reince Priebus?
Yeah, it's Reince Priebus.
Who's this?
Hey, Reince.
Jimmy Dore.
How are you, buddy?
How do you think I am, Jimmy?
Putting on fire is a day drinking.
So, Reince, are you having a hard time reigning in your nominee, Donald Trump?
That's one way to put it.
See that guy using suction cups to Mission Impossible his way up to Trump Tower yesterday?
Yeah, I did.
I saw that.
I thought that was pretty cool.
Yeah, that was a true supporter.
Really?
That wasn't a protester.
That was a guy who liked Donald Trump.
That should tell you something about the base that we're dealing with.
Bunch of insane frogmen.
Fuck.
Right.
It's on my shoulders to try to corral this shit.
You know.
He said he would pivot, Jimmy.
He said he would pivot.
He didn't pivot.
Reince, I actually am starting to feel a little bit.
He didn't pivot.
Reince, you know, I'm actually.
Reince, I actually am starting to feel sorry for you a little bit.
No kidding.
You know.
Well, geez, thanks, Jimmy.
That means a lot.
Not.
At what point would you, are you going to take back your endorsement or how are you going to work this?
Well, my hands are tied in that department.
Yeah.
Jimmy, I can't take back the endorsement.
He is the Republican nominee.
We've got a shit show Republican convention to prove it.
It's all caught on tape.
Unfortunately.
But I read that you were threatening that you were going to take away the RNC's funds and focus and put it down balance.
Yeah.
That's basically the one strategy that we have left.
We told Trump, look, man, if you don't rein it in with all this crazy shit you're saying and all this crap you're doing to chin up your psycho followers, we're going to have no choice.
We're going to have to financially de-emphasize the campaign of the president and, you know, move some of that financial firepower further down ticket.
You know, we've got a lot of congressional and Senate candidates coming up, you know.
They're also, we've got to get that in there, too.
Like who?
Well, there's a lot of great candidates that the Republican Party is fielding, especially for Congress.
In Kentucky's 23rd district, we've got Scooter McNabb.
We've got a first-time politician, and he's got some great ideas about having guns in daycare.
That's something that he's running on.
You also have Barbara McCluskey.
uh-huh she's from what is where she from alaska no she's over in Utah oh yeah Utah and she is talking about outlawing saying the word Abortion out loud.
That's her platform, and it's a bold, new, conservative idea.
That's what the Republican Party needs to be about, is bold, new conservative ideas.
Wow, that sounds pretty radical, actually.
I'm not really conservative, but I guess your hands are bold.
Bold is what you know, and they may not necessarily be with everyone in the Republican Party, how they feel, but it's those are the people that we need to fund their campaigns now if Donald Trump stops saying crazy things.
At least they're not calling for an assassination of their opponent.
Actually, we do have someone, Randall Cobb in Tennessee, actually is saying that.
But at least he has the at least he has the wherewithal to literally say it, not just hint at it like Trump did.
Well, listen, Rines, I, um, it seems like he's a bold conservative voice.
He's putting out flyers with pictures of his Democrat opponent with a bullseye over her face saying, shoot this woman if you see her with a gun.
And it's a bold conservative idea.
And so you think that it's better off focusing on those type of candidates down ballot than Donald Trump?
Yes, yes, I do.
I think because, yeah.
Well, it's not, honestly, though.
I don't know.
Yeah, I know that sounds stupid, too.
There's really nowhere for me to turn here.
Yeah, I know those candidates.
Here I am saying this: the guy at the top's too crazy, so we'll go down.
It gets crazier the further down you go.
I know, this is your party now.
We got a guy running for a state office in Louisiana who is a gun.
We're actually running a gun for state senator Louisiana.
I mean, I long for the days of simple behind-the-scenes race baiting like Lee Atwater.
Yeah, those days, it seems like it's over.
It's all out in front and center right now.
There's no hiding.
Yeah, they, yeah, it was great.
They denigrate blacks and they put on shades and sing blues music and stuff.
It was such a great just theater.
We lost what I grew up on.
I loved it.
Say it again.
I thought it was going to be like that when I was running the party.
Now it's just this shit show.
This asshole who won't pivot or listen to me or take me serious.
All right.
Well, good luck, Ryance.
Do you mind if we check in?
It seems like every day something crazier happened.
Like, just yesterday, he said that ISIS was founded by Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Yeah, I mean, why can't he just stick to the traditional Republican pocket points that she literally killed Americans in Benghazi?
I mean, we've been hammering this for years.
Why does she have to go off script and say crazy lies or new crazy lies when we have some right on a planet for him to look at and take?
I mean, we're a party here for Christ's sake.
We're supposed to function as a unit.
Here you guys lose can and goddamn it.
God damn it.
All right, Rines.
Well, my heart goes out to you, buddy.
We'll check in with you next time.
God damn it.
You're supposed to pivot.
You said he was going to fucking pivot.
Lying, non-pivoting, motherfucker.
God damn it.
City fucking pyramid.
Pyramid.
Damn it, you said you pivot.
State your pyramid for rights.
It appeared with me right.
