The Jimmy Dore Show!
The Jimmy Dore Show!
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hey there, Jimmy.
This is none other than alt-right philosopher and online provocateur, St. Himmler.
Oh, hey there, St. Himmler.
How are you, buddy?
How is harassing people on the internet in the name of unbridled hate going?
Oh, glad you asked.
It's going awesome.
This past week alone, I got blocked on Twitter by Joan Walsh, Bill Crystal, and MetaWorld Peace.
Wow.
That's quite a mixed bag you have there.
Yeah, I know.
It's awesome.
Quite an accomplishment, if I do say so myself.
How is that accomplishing anything?
I don't get it.
Well, look, okay.
So if someone blocks you, it shows the world that you have gotten to them, that you have gotten their goat, essentially.
That sort of acknowledgement shows the bankruptcy of the left and of the traditional conservative movement.
They can't refute our arguments.
They don't respect free speech, so they just block us.
It's really the only tool they have left.
It's sort of like the panic button of a dying hegemony.
I see.
Okay, you know, I'm actually looking at your Twitter feed right here, and it looks like MetaWorld Peace, who is an African-American professional athlete, he blocked you after you tweeted a picture of Harambee at him with the caption, miss your cousin.
Yeah, that was a particularly solid burn.
It doesn't really look like you were trying to exchange ideas.
Looks like you're more just wanting to assault people with racism.
Race realism is an idea, Jimmy.
Don't be a cuck.
There should be no quarter for those who flee from dialogue.
Okay, I'll try not to be a cuck.
So it looks like your boy Trump is behind in the polls.
Doesn't look good for him.
Oh, Jimmy, Jimmy, you are so naive.
Really?
How so?
None of the alt-right really cares if Trump becomes president.
We have been able to use his campaign to our ends, which is what matters.
Whether he actually wins is immaterial to our plans or to his for that matter.
I mean, it's not as if Trump wins, we get automatically a whites only nation state, at least in the first term.
So how is his loss a win for you guys?
Well, I don't think it's a secret that Trump was going to parlay his campaigning into the basis of a new media empire where the alt-right will continue to garner a mainstream voice out of the Breitbart shadows into broadcast and cable television.
We're playing a freaking long game here, and the Trump campaign is just the beginning.
Trump has actually been perfect.
It required a person with literally no ideology other than ego to not issue our ideologies and allow them to thrive on his stage next to him, like Pepe the Frog.
He's always there.
He's always photoshopped in the Trump pen scenes representing us and race realism.
Is this why the KKK just officially endorsed Trump?
Well, that's a big who cares, in my opinion.
I mean, there are much more sophisticated voices to put forth race realism than the Kwangan.
Give me a break.
If anything, they drag us down, making us look like southern rednecks.
There's no place for the Klan's vision of white America for, say, self-hating Jews or homosexuals or those of us who simply are unable to grow facial hair.
And that's a big part of the alt-right.
Yes, it is.
What is the long game that you mentioned?
Well, the alt-right is not a monolithic group, but I can only speak for myself.
So I would say the reestablishment of white hegemony, if only the acknowledgement that the United States is a European white Christian nation and shall remain so.
Then the gradual rolling back of the democratic experiment, meaning the contraction of enfranchisement rather than its extension, and so having decisions made by a select few and not by those who, if I were on a stormfront.org chat group, that I would call mud races.
And also, in addition, a return to traditional values.
Traditional values?
Yes.
What does that mean?
Well, I think people know what that means generally.
I guess a lot of things, but I mean, if you were to press my arm, maybe choose one to try to, you know, I don't know.
Banning porn.
What?
Banning online pornography.
That's an alt-right thing?
Oh, absolutely.
Gavin McGinnis has been pushing his no-fat movement for some time now and rightly points out that porn viewing is toxic to male sexuality.
It erodes relationships.
Yeah, have you found this to be the case personally?
Well, you know what?
I will actually go a step further and say that it's toxic for women, too.
Porn creates an unrealistic expectation of what a human penis looks like.
Where there'll be black guys and other weird monster weirdos that they're using porn.
I see.
I'm serious.
I mean, the average American female, because of porn, is probably unaware that someone whose erect penis is four and three-quarters inches, let's say, just pulling the number out of the hair, is perhaps, yes, below average, but almost barely below average.
Like, statistically, insignificantly below average.
It's only way smaller than porn penis.
It's not regular PENIS.
So we need to ban that shit.
In fact, as a neo-papal monarchist in particular, I believe that women shouldn't even see a man's penis until after they're married to begin with, when it's too late to do anything about it or complain or bitch.
That's how it was for centuries and how it should be again.
But of course, we basically have to destroy feminism in order for this to happen.
I mean, obviously, for men to be men again and get married to virgins who don't know anything better, which is different.
That's why alt-right is so manly and masculine.
It's for real men, not cucks.
Only cucks are so unmasculine to be okay with their women having seen other men's sick.
So I'm a real man, no question, and I found an ideology, which will allow me to pursue being a man.
So, that shit, you can be a cock, so whatever.
I don't care.
Oh, guys are cut.
So, whatever.
I shouldn't even talk to you.
Lower my cock level.
Shut up.
Ah!
It's the Jimmy Dore show.
The show for safe.
It's on the top of your Queen.
There's a guy who found a lot of my feet.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Dore show.
I'm joined in the studio.
Comedian hilarious writer Jim Earl is here.
Hi, Jim.
How are you?
Oh, I'm great.
Happy to be here.
Happy to have you.
Also here, comedian Rod Plicote.
Hi, Rod.
How are you?
Howdy, Jimmy.
Good.
Good to hear you.
Hey, good to hear you.
He's a red-hatted Italian person.
It happens every now and then.
It happens.
I've heard about this.
I didn't see it in The Godfather.
Also, here is Hag Thompson, comedian Hank Thompson.
Hi, Hank.
How are you?
Hey there.
I'm a white-headed German.
All right.
Skin skin colored is what I'm saying.
Yeah, skin colored.
Not like Julian Assange.
Yeah, he's white colored.
He's platinum.
Let's do some jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
I hope everybody had a fun Halloween.
I heard that this year, Hillary Clinton dressed up as a Democrat.
Come on.
Seeing that she fooled a lot of people.
Oh, she fooled at least half the Democratic Party.
That's for sure.
Hey, Anthony Weiner just checked himself into a sexual addiction clinic.
Doctor says he's going to receive daily treatments of methabone.
Get it?
You can't just go cold vagina off that stuff.
Am I right?
Come on.
It's country indicated.
Boom.
You know, this week, thousands of Facebook users around the country posted that they checked into the Standing Rock Reservation.
You know about that.
To show solidarity and confuse police surveillance officers.
Nice gesture.
But if you really want to confuse the police, ask them what the First Amendment is.
Just a message joke right there.
That's a good joke.
So now that you've all checked into Standing Rock on Facebook, who's holding?
Hey, according to the new Pew Research poll, did you know this?
91% of Republicans and 86% of Democrats have a bad view of the other party.
And you know what?
say, Mr. President, we cannot afford to have a mistrust gap.
That was my...
That's George C. Scott from Dr. Strangelove.
That's my impression.
Mr. President, we cannot afford to have a mine shaft cap.
I'm so happy for editing.
Hey, you know, Paul Ryan says he's already voted for Donald Trump, but he only did it in exchange for Donald's future vote to keep him on the island.
Get it?
Because he's a reality TV show.
That's all he does here.
Hey, Megan Kelly is negotiating with Fox News, demanding she get equal pay as Bill O'Reilly.
Oh, no, really?
Yeah, that's just true.
Hey, let's face it.
Megan Kelly does not deserve the same pay as Bill O'Reilly, as she is only 74% as stupid as he is.
That makes sense.
Hey, before we move into the meat of this show, I want to remind everybody in a few weeks, November 19th, that's a Saturday, 8 p.m., we're doing a live Jimmy Door show again at the improvisation, the improv in Hollywood on Melrose and Crescent Heights.
There's a link for tickets, tickets over at JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Tickets are only $10.
That's a great deal.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
There's a link for tickets.
That's Saturday, November 19th.
It's at the improv at Melrose and Crescent Heights in Hollywood.
We'll see you there.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
Check it out.
Turns out Hillary Clinton is not against meddling in foreign elections, even though she's super upset that someone's meddling in Americans' elections, America's elections.
Plus, we take a look at another Republican senator who wants to put a target on another politician.
Stupid.
Also, what's really happening in North Dakota?
Yep.
Plus, income inequality.
Is it inevitable or is it actually on purpose?
Plus, Bill O'Reilly calls in and a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
Thank you.
Thank you.
you So I don't know if you heard the news, but you know, those white militia guys who threatened police, took over federal property, all that stuff.
Well, turns out nothing's going to happen to them.
Nothing.
Nothing's going to happen to them.
They walk free at the same time.
Peaceful protesters in North Dakota are getting maced and strip searched and just broken boned.
And dogs are biting them.
But the nice white guys with guns who threaten police, nothing.
Freedom of speech.
And so I wonder how long it's going to take for the next one before they take over another piece of federal land.
I can't wait.
Because they have tanks in North Dakota.
Did they bring a tank to that?
They didn't bring anything.
They let them get their mail delivered.
They kept the electricity going.
I was just going to answer your question.
Did they bring anything?
Yeah, they brought them the government services that we all rely on.
Yes.
I couldn't believe it.
They literally brought them the mail.
They let them go into town.
They brought them electricity.
Yes.
I mean, if they have children, maybe you can argue they should.
Maybe, but I don't think there were kids at that place.
Yeah.
They would let them go into town to spread their message of insurrection.
Oh, you're out of ink?
Oh, sure.
We'll bring you some new printer stuff.
Thanks.
So this is from Democracy Now.
It says a federal jury in Oregon on Thursday acquitted anti-government militia leader Ammon and Ryan Bundy and five of their followers of conspiracy and weapons charges related.
They did both those things.
They conspired to take over and they did it with weapons.
And it's on video.
So this is just white privilege.
Mike Brown, he stole a couple of Swiss your sweets, so he got shot 10 times in the head in Ferguson by Darren Wilson.
So it goes on.
The stunning verdict shocked federal, shocked federal prosecutors.
Called the 41-day occupation of the Mauhur National Wildlife Refuge a lawless scheme to seize federal property by force, which is what it was.
There's no other way to do it.
I was going to say, like, that's pretty much, yeah, definitionally, that's not sugar-coated, or that's just there.
The occupation forced federal employees onto administrative leave, cost the federal government over $4 million.
You know, and even what you have here, Jimmy, where it says the occupation forced federal, like the occupation, not the illegal behavior of how they have demanded that this is their property.
And they're going to be able to profit off of this property by what they sell as commerce, correct?
From the animals that they yes, this is all about them wanting a handout from the government.
That's what this is all about.
They don't pay what they're supposed to pay the Bureau of Land Management.
They want free.
In fact, they even encroached on Native American land.
So that's a, they don't give it.
These are just white guys with guns who get to do whatever they want.
They can cost the government $4 million.
They alarmed local residents, and it also angered the Paiote tribe, which is the treaty rights to the land that the militia occupied.
So they broke a treaty.
Also, the tribe says militia members mishandled tribal artifacts and bulldozed sacred sites.
Militia leaders Ammon and Ryan Bundy still face federal charges related to an armed standoff in Nevada from 2014.
I'm going to guess they're going to be found innocent.
So what is going to stop these guys from doing this again?
And then until they kill a cop, maybe or kill a couple of people?
So how long do these guys get to do this?
You mean these thugs?
Yeah.
Barack Obama called the black people who are being killed by cops in Baltimore.
He called them thugs when they finally spoke up, when their anger erupted over another unjustified killing.
Barack Obama couldn't call them thugs quick enough.
These guys, everybody's nice.
Oh, you know who the thugs are in Dakota?
The people from the government, the cops, because they're not doing that at the behest of the citizens.
They're doing that at the behest of oil companies and Wall Street bankers.
American citizens don't want those cops with tanks in North Dakota fucking over Native Americans water.
They don't want them to do that.
They're doing that at the behest of corporations.
They're doing it at the behest of the donors of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
You mean white people, the dominant culture, are still stealing land from Native Americans and abusing Native Americans.
Yes, that's what I mean.
What was good to see was all those reporters from CNN and MSNBC out there getting arrested because, oh, wait, none of them did.
None of them went there.
They're barely even talking about it.
But it's tough when you get paid millions of dollars by a corporation that wants this stuff to go through to actually tell the truth on their station.
Well, I mean, it's clear, like, if they had been Muslim, armed Muslim guys, same outcome.
They would have been let go.
They were Black Panthers.
Yeah, totally.
They wouldn't have been droned from the sky at about an hour number two.
They would have droned them from.
You're exactly right.
They would have been, we'll rebuild it.
They would have drove a tank up there.
They would have made it a monument to our defiance of terrorism.
Well, I finally saw something on the corporate media, and this was like in passing, where I think it was ABC.
They brought up, and I was like, wow, finally, they're actually talking about someone.
And all it was, and then, of course, I saw the report and I was just as discouraged once again because all was they were like, oh, some people are mad.
And then they showed a fire because they always try to make protesters look more like the violent ones.
Right.
They're the violent ones.
They always try to paint that picture.
They did the same thing during Occupy and they're doing it again.
And they've been doing it that way since the 60s because when you're a corporate media and you uphold the status quo, nothing's a bigger threat than any kind of social movement.
So you naturally marginalize.
So what these guys need most is an apology from Colin Kopernik for all the pain that he's caused them from all that kneeling he's doing before a football game.
That's an Obama quote for anybody who doesn't know.
That is an Obama quote saying that Kaepernick causes pain to soldiers.
These guys, though, those cops in North Dakota cracking the heads of peaceful protesters as we once again re-victimize the Native Americans.
Nope, that doesn't hurt the soldiers.
That's Barack Obama's America.
No Trump needed.
No Trump needed.
Hey, Americans are crazy about guns, aren't they?
Right?
You got to have guns.
There's more guns in America than people.
Check that out.
Let that sink in.
There's something like 300 million people in America, and I think there's a trillion guns.
That makes a lot of sense because the more guns around, the fewer people will be around.
Oh, there you go.
We got a little bit of a demonstrates the proof of concept.
And everybody lost their mind when Trump said about Second Amendment remedies for Hillary if she picks a bad judge for the Supreme Court.
So everybody freaked out.
Well, here is a senator from North Carolina caught on an open microphone saying something very similar about Hillary Clinton.
And you want to hear it?
Here we go.
The subject of Clinton and guns came up.
Nothing made me feel any better than I walked into a gun shop, I think, yesterday.
There was a copy of Rifleman on the counter.
He's got a picture of Hillary Clinton on the front.
I'm a little bit shocked at that.
Didn't have a bullseye on it.
Oh, bam!
Hey, we got wicked woo!
So that's that was Senator Richard Burr from the, by the way, he's from the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman.
He's the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and he's making jokes about assassination.
A lot of words in that.
He had to get to the punchline a little quicker, I feel like.
It was a lot of verbiage there.
That's Burr.
Get to it.
There's another guy named Burr that's way funnier than you, Richard.
Oh, his name is Bill Burr.
I wonder if there's any relation.
So, yeah, so Bill Burket could teach you how to tighten that up.
There's too much shit in the middle of that joke, is what Ron Blacone is saying.
Unlike Trump, the chairman of the Senate intelligence, that's how bad things are.
This is how bad things are have got in America.
He thinks it's okay to goof around like that.
He says, the comment I made was inappropriate, and I apologize for it.
So there you go.
He's a sorry.
He said that we should assassinate the next president of the United States.
Like these guys just say stuff like that.
Like, apparently, this is really your not fear.
He's joking around.
Come on.
He's just having fun, right?
Good old boy.
How many of our presidents have been shot, right?
So you got Kennedy, they killed Bobby Kennedy, they killed Martin Luther King, Malcolm Epps.
They shot at Gerald Ford.
They shot Ronald Reagan.
Who else has been killed recently?
I mean, there's always, oh, it's Gabby Giffords, right?
That kind of, that crap with Sarah Palin was doing that with the bullseyes on the pictures.
And for F's sake, Gabby Giffords, and you're still making that joke?
I can make that joke because I'm a jackass comedian who hasn't run for office.
But you really can't.
I mean, like, you're not even supposed to do that.
Regular people would get investigated as they should, but people in positions of leadership and power.
He's in the Senate.
And he's chairman of McCaffrey.
That's insane.
A guy with power.
By the way, you are also have a target.
Right.
Like, you could, you're doing that to yourself.
Like, he doesn't realize you're making it unsafe for everyone when you do that.
Everyone in your position, I mean, not my position, your position.
So, uh, well, the only way to stop a bad president with a nuclear arsenal is a good guy with a gun.
Right?
Isn't that how that saying goes?
I think that's the, that should be the new saying.
I mean, a bad president with a judge appointment you disagreed with.
Mark specifically.
Okay.
Figured it out.
Way to go.
We've heard Hillary Clinton's campaign and all the horrible in-the-tank lefty journals scream about Russia messing with our elections.
Chris Hayes didn't even want to talk about the WikiLeak emails because he said, well, obviously this is someone wanting to influence our elections and they're having that influence if we blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Boy, Chris really gets, He really gets nervous about revealing information about the powerful.
He really does.
Well, I love when the corporate media, just going on that, like when the corporate media gets off on the whole, like, they want us to talk about WikiLeaks.
Russia wants us to talk about this.
I was like, oh, we were so focused on issues before.
We had such quality discourse prior to this that, man, Russia really threw it off.
This is such a distraction from being outraged over Grab a Pussy.
Someone, they got a audio of Hillary Clinton talking about interfering in a foreign election.
So all this stuff about the Democrats are victims of a Hillary Clinton literally said she's going to have a military response to the cyber hacking, even though our spies do it all the time.
The NSA all the time hacks other countries' emails and inserts themselves in their elections.
What did we just do to Iraq?
We just overthrew their government in Iraq, in Libya.
We're trying to overthrow the government in Syria.
We overthrew the government in Iran, which is why we got theocracy there.
We do this stuff all the time.
Well, recently, here's Hillary Clinton on audio talking about an election in Palestine because don't forget, they are outraged.
She wants a military response to the fact that she says Russia hacked the DNC's emails, which there's no proof of that.
Here's her talking about a Palestinian election.
Let's see if let's listen, shall we?
I do not think we should have pushed for an election in the Palestinian territory.
I think that was a baby's hate.
And if we were to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.
Okay, I'll decipher that for you.
Let's go.
Let's go through it slower.
Okay, let's listen to what she's saying.
I do not think we should have pushed for an election in Palestinians.
She says, I do not think we should have pushed for an election in Palestine.
So she didn't want the Palestinians having an election.
I don't think we should have had an election because as soon as they vote, they're going to pick someone who's not a puppet of us.
And we only want other people to have democracy when it favors us.
She goes on even further and says this.
She said, I think that was a big mistake.
To let the Palestinians have democracy, actually express themselves at the ballot box is a big mistake.
You know, we're supposed to be the exporters of democracy.
We're supposed to be the exporters of human rights.
We're supposed to export our values, but those aren't our values anymore.
Our values are serving money and power.
And that's what Hillary Clinton is all about.
And here she goes a little bit further.
We're going to push for an election.
Then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win.
And if we were going to push for an election, then we should have did something to determine who was going to win.
Wait a minute.
She's going to have a muscle.
She's going to have a military response to Russia hacking her emails at the DMs.
There she is right there.
So whenever a politician feigns outrage that someone's emails got hacked or something right there.
I'm telling you, people in government, whenever they say something, you just have to automatically go, they're lying until proven otherwise.
And here we go.
Hillary Clinton feigning outrage over it's all bull because here she can't wait to control other people's elections.
And don't forget that America's been trying to control other people's elections forever.
What did she do in Honduras?
She overthrew a democratically elected government there.
She, whoa, in favor of order, right-wing strongman.
So the United States does that all the time.
We overthrow democratically elected governments to install a puppet who's friendly to a corporation in America.
That's what our military does.
That's what we're doing in Syria.
This is all about money.
This is all about fossil fuels.
This has nothing to do with exporting democracy or saving people or helping anyone.
This has got to do with money and fossil fuels and power.
I just thought that was great.
Here's Hillary Clinton revealing that she only pays fealty to democracy.
She does not really a big fan of it.
And people need to, you know, Ron was just talking about Placona's here, and he was just making the point of how hard it is to vote in California before the election day, you know, early voting.
Yeah, early voting is not easy in this state, which was very surprising to me.
What do you have to do to early vote in California?
It's an early vote in California.
It's open two weekends, and both weekends I happen to be out of town.
And to go to vote during the week, you have to go to the main office in Norwalk, which is not the easiest place to get to from most parts of Los Angeles.
And yeah, you got to show up there between eight and five to get your vote in, which, you know, I lived in Tennessee prior to this, and early voting is much easier there.
It's way easier.
Most, like about half the polling places are open, so you're going to find one at least relatively close to you any day of the week.
So I have a theory about that.
I want to hear it.
Okay, my theory is Russia.
Of course.
People need to understand that they don't want you to vote in America.
I'm sure there's an audio tape somewhere of Hillary Clinton talking about suppressing the vote in America because they did that in the primary.
They didn't want independents voting in American primaries.
That's why they closed all the polling places.
That's why they knocked all those people off the voting rolls.
That's why they have closed primaries.
That's why the corporate media was super honest about who was in the lead.
That's why the corporate media lied to you constantly about super delegates and the whole thing.
So American politics, the system is designed to suppress the vote, to make you feel powerless, to make you disinterested.
That's why half the country doesn't vote.
And people are still pissed off at people voting for an environmentalist who's not corrupted.
But instead of going after half the country that doesn't vote, you're angry at the people who are the most interested and the most informed.
So here, right here, we show right now the person they're voting for, not interested in democracy at all.
Super hope you're enjoying today's episode because I'm here to tell you about Harry's.

I'm not kidding.
Hey, in America, oil is more important than water.
We all know that.
I'm here with Hank Thompson, Ron Placone, Steph Zamorano.
You know what's going on in North Dakota, right?
So there's a bunch of Wall Street banks financing some oil companies that want to build a pipeline that's going to pollute the Missouri River, which is where the natives get all their water from.
By the way, it's the longest river in America.
They're going to pollute it.
And by the way, they're going over Native American lands that is rightfully theirs by a treaty.
So it doesn't look good, right?
So if you're a white guy and you have guns and you take over some federal land, nothing happens to you.
Nothing.
In fact, they even send your mail to you.
But if you are actually standing up against it, by the way, these cops, they're not out there at the behest of their citizens.
These cops are out there at the behest of the donors to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Wall Street and the fossil fuel companies.
That's why they're there.
The people don't want them there.
In fact, there was some sheriff from Wisconsin sent his people there, his cops there, and the people from the town said, fuck you, bring those people back.
We don't want our cops going cracking the heads of peaceful protesters in another state at the behest of corporations.
According to Think Progress, on Thursday, 141 people were arrested after armed law enforcement from at least six different freaking states used sirens, pepper spray, and beanbag shots, declare a protest, a protest camp on private land.
Yeah, but they can go and destroy their burial ground, which I'm sure is private land.
On private land, on private land, the cops just, we're just going to come in and beat the F out of you.
I'm private land where the Dakota Access, a developing company, is building the 1,172-mile pipeline.
The North Dakota National Guard and the company's private security were also involved.
Oh, so they bring out some higher cops.
Just assholes.
Yeah, that's a scary company's private security.
Company's private security.
I've seen that a couple times.
They just get to hire thugs.
Injuries were reported on both sides.
Oh, brother.
On both sides.
You mean the guys who are wearing uniforms and bulletproof with a twist their ankle?
At both sides.
While activists said several protesters suffered broken bones, all of the protesters have been bailed out thanks to an anonymous donor who paid $2.5 million, Ron.
Wow.
$2.5 million for their release late Saturday news story.
That's super scary because that will incentivize more arrests.
Yes.
Because that money just gets fed into the yeah, now they got $2 million to go hire more cops.
Right.
You're implying our justice system is corrupted by money?
I mean, I never.
I never could imagine that.
No.
Dude, I just want to say how troubling this is.
You see all these men police force in universities.
Do you see what they're armed with?
Do you see these long bats that they have in their hands that they're ready to brutalize somebody?
And they're peaceful protesters.
And if America allows this to continue, you're next.
These cops are huge pussies, just so you know, in case you're not sure.
Guys who are actual tough guys don't become cops.
Guys who want to feel like tough guys become cops.
I can only be a tough guy with a bunch of other guys around me and immunity from prosecution.
And I need a gun.
And it takes one of these cops to cross the line and stand with these Native Americans.
None of them will.
None of these cops will cross the line and stand with the Native Americans because that would take courage.
Actual courage.
Cops do not have actual courage.
Just, again, we just need to wipe our minds clean of what cops are.
Cops are hired thugs.
Do you think these guys join because they're out there trying to make their community better?
They're out in the middle of nowhere beating the fuck out of people at the behest of corporations.
No respect to them.
And most likely they infiltrated the protesters.
Of course they did.
That's the first thing cops do is they send someone into in with the protesters to make the protesters look bad.
Of course, that's the first thing they do.
Protesters dispute the claims of authorities, including the report of the alleged shooting.
Some news outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, said protesters remained peaceful during Thursday's guy.
So I'm going to go with the LA Times over the lying cops, the guys who get paid to beat the fuck out of protesters, peaceful protesters in America.
Those guys, those mouth-breathing, brain-dead thugs who get a kick out of it.
That's why they're cops.
You wouldn't be out there if you weren't enjoying it.
If you're out there, this is horrible.
You would leave.
And by the way, the authorities are on the wrong side of this issue.
They're always on the wrong side.
Of course.
And why are all these cops from other states get to go crack?
I've never, what is this?
North Dakota has in turn used the 1996 Emergency Management Assistance Compact, which allows states to send law enforcement and other employees when a governor declares a state of emergency.
So there's a state of emergency.
In fairness, North Dakota is a pretty boring place.
State of emergency run peaceful protesters.
Yeah, no, that's an emergency.
Peaceful protesters.
Absolutely ridiculous.
The government is deploying people to oppress the protesters.
They're barely deploying anybody to go help the people in Detroit with water.
But Flint.
Yes.
Yeah.
So what she's saying is, oh, the government snaps into action when you're trying to stop polluting water.
But when the water is already polluted and you have lead-poisoned kids, the government is like, I don't know, we don't know what to do.
Who do we beat up?
Are there any black people or brown people we can beat the crap out of?
That's what we do.
We're the government.
No, you just need to get clean water there.
No ideas.
Can't help you.
So that's a great point that Steph made.
Oh, the government, they can unlimited resources when they have to go stomp on some peaceful protesters at the behest of polluters.
But when people are being polluted, no answer.
Nothing.
Zip.
Nothing.
We're going to study it.
We'll study it for a while.
You don't want to send some cops over there to crack the heads of the government officials in Flint?
No.
You don't want to mace anybody in the government at Flint?
You guys don't want to go stun gun or use a water cannon or nothing on the governor?
No.
Do you want to go put anybody in a cage in Flint and the government and strip search them after poisoning everybody in Flint?
No.
No.
How about in North Dakota?
Oh, yeah, we're going to do all those things and more.
Anybody tries to get in the way of a corporation, especially a fossil fuel corporation that's being funded by Wall Street, they're going to find out what's coming.
A handful of states responded to the call, but at least one Wisconsin Sheriff Department received pushback from the community and brought it.
We did a story on that.
We covered that.
Wisconsin sheriffs, also a liar, lied about the violence of the protesters.
We all know the people who are violent at peaceful protests are cops.
I'm going to guess the people showing up with clubs, pepper spray, and guns and riot gear would be the ones starting the trouble.
The pipeline is yet to receive, yet to receive federal permits to cross the Missouri River.
And while the Obama administration has asked the company to halt construction within 20 miles of the easement as it reviews the permits, the company has declined the request.
So Barack Obama requested pretty please.
They said, and Barack Obama wants, I'm powerless.
I'm just the president.
We're going to go start a war with Russia.
But I can't stop anything happening in North Dakota.
But I'm going to go bomb Aleppo.
We can't do anything in North Dakota.
My hands are tied.
That's a Clinton Wall Street approach, right?
Ask nicely.
Yeah.
Play nicely, guys.
Cut it out.
All right.
Yeah, that's like, cut it out.
According to one of the people who were protesting, she said, we were caged in dog kennels, sat on the floor, and we were marked with numbers, said Floris Whitebull.
As she wiped tears from her face, she said the cages were placed in the garage at the Morton County Sheriff's Department.
Now, I know during Occupy Wall Street in Los Angeles, the cops brought everybody into a parking garage, made them kneel until they passed out.
A lot of them defecated on themselves, peed on themselves, and then they sued those cops.
By the way, the cops like doing that to people.
They get a kick out of it.
That's why they're cops.
That's why they do that.
If it bothered them, they wouldn't do it.
They do it because they like it.
Get that through your head.
Those people who were abused by the cops during Occupy Wall Street in Los Angeles sued, they won $3 million.
Guess what happened to those cops?
Nothing.
Guess what?
They're doing it again to anybody they feel like because they don't have that money doesn't come out of their pension.
That money doesn't come out of their pocket.
That money comes out of your pocket.
That's why cops are allowed to do this with impunity from coast to coast.
And they do it.
We live in a police state in America.
We're already under surveillance.
They already took away hebe as corpus.
No Trump needed.
Well, hey, some of those cops might have some consequences.
They might have to spend a couple days on paid leave.
We don't know.
None of them did.
Here is somebody, a Facebook post, somebody with the number on them.
My friends and relatives, I'm okay, so to speak.
I was arrested yesterday.
What I saw, felt, and heard was unreal.
I'm proud of my people.
We stood together.
People did their best to protect one another unarmed.
After we were arrested, we were dehumanized.
We were given a number.
They trucked us by busloads to Morton County.
We were held in dog kennels.
There were tarps to cover the two that women were put in.
We sat and laid on the cold cement.
Standing rock, we're the first called out to be shipped out to Fargo.
I have so much to say right now, but I just want to let you know I'm okay and we will not stop.
There's the numbers they're putting on people.
So that's what the government's doing in your name.
So again, when you see a cop, thank him.
Thank him.
Thank him.
Thank him for being hired goons because that's all they are.
And that's all these cops are.
And we need a total revolution in policing in America.
I mean, a total revolution in America.
Our government's corrupt.
These guys are doing this with the blessing of the government.
The government is doing this.
And Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton pretend like they're freaking powerless.
Why?
Because they're puppets.
They are puppets, corrupt puppets.

Hey, guess what?
I was reading this article by Dean Baker over at the Institute for New Economic Thinking.
He says inequality is as a policy, selective trade protection favors high earners.
So you get how when they set up these trade deals, they don't put any protections or safety nets in for the workers in our country that they're going to screw over.
But they do put protections in for white-collar workers.
He says offshoring manufacturing may have hurt many working people in America, but professionals and intellectual property have been robustly protected.
Globalization and technology are routinely cited as drivers of inequality over the last four decades.
While the relative importance of these causes is disputed, both are often viewed as natural and inevitable products of the working of the economy rather than as outcomes of deliberate policy.
So what they're saying, what he's saying, is that people go, yeah, globalization and technology.
Sure, you know, that's going to cause inequality.
Globalization, there's going to be more.
Yeah, people are going to lose jobs, but there's going to be winners and losers and all that stuff.
So what they're saying is that people have accepted that, yeah, that's just the way it happens with when you have globalization and technology.
Those unions shouldn't have been so greedy.
They wanted those fair wages and vacation times.
They're so greedy.
Yes, that is.
But what Dean Baker is saying is that, no, that inequality that's generated from globalization and technology, that's on purpose.
That's that deliberate policy outcome.
That's not just a natural outcome.
That's that whole, I go back to people like to say free market and as if the markets were invented in some other universe and they organically grew.
Markets are invented by people with money.
They're to set up rules to protect themselves.
That's what markets are.
Markets don't just all of a sudden appear in nature.
They weren't handed down by Jesus Christ.
Markets are invented and markets are just rules.
Okay.
And you can have a policy that favors workers and decreases inequality, or you can have policy that screws workers and favors inequality.
And that's what he's saying.
No, we have these trade deals that are specifically rigged to heighten inequality and income.
Both the course of globalization and the distribution of rewards from technological innovation are very much the result of policy.
Insofar as they have led to greater inequality, this has been the result of conscious policy choices.
So when Barack Obama gets up there and says, well, we have to, we have to, we can't pretend that we don't live in a global world.
We can't just close our borders.
Invisible hand, Brock Order.
Yeah, but then he gives you a false choice.
You can't close your borders.
Then he only offers you one alternative, the TPP.
There's a different alternative.
Better trade deals.
How about better?
You don't have to Sell out your own sovereignty, your own workers, to a race to the bottom to send good jobs to poor people in an even more desperate situation.
Those are the only two options Barack Obama and the political class are offering us.
And as he's showing you, that's a conscious choice to do trade deals that increase inequality.
That's what he's saying.
The trade deals put U.S. manufacturing workers in direct competition with their much lower paid counterparts in the developing world, and they take advantage of lower labor costs and then ship their products back to the United States.
So that's what happened with NAFTA.
So NAFTA is supposed to go free trade.
What it really did was it used to be tariffs for products coming in from Mexico.
So now what the United States would do is they would, then they would still build stuff in America.
They would still do farming in America.
They still all the stuff in America.
Now they got rid of those.
So now factory farmers go to Mexico and they grow all the stuff and they just re-import it.
They use cheaper labor, all that stuff.
All the manufacturers, when they go to Mexico, they use cheaper labor and then they re-import the products over the without any tariffs, without anything.
They just take what we used to make here and used to be made by a person with a good job.
We take that job, turn it into a shitty job, export it to a poor country, and then we take the same product we used to make here.
We just re-import it at a lower price.
Who does that help?
Only the owner of the company.
That only helps the owners of the company.
It hurts the workers.
It hurts our economy because now the workers have less money to spend in the economy.
See, do you get how this is what he's talking about?
And he goes on, the predicted and actual result of this pattern of trade has been a lower wages for manufacturing workers, non-college educated workers more generally, as displaced manufacturing workers crowd into other sectors of the economy.
So that's predicted from these trade deals.
They predict lower wages for manufacturing workers and non-college educated workers.
They know this.
Look at this.
Guess who they do protect?
Doctors.
They don't have to compete like manufacturing workers do.
He said it is impossible for foreign-trained physicians to practice in the United States unless they have completed a residency program in the United States.
The number of residency slots in turn is strictly limited as the number of slots open for foreign.
So he's saying we protect our medical, our doctors.
They don't have to compete with people studying.
They don't have to do that.
We protect our doctors.
In fact, he says, while this is a quite blatantly protectionist restriction, it has persisted largely unquestioned through a long process of trade liberalization that has radically reduced or eliminated most of the barriers on trade goods.
The result is that doctors in the United States earn an average of more than a quarter million dollars a year.
That's five grand a week, average.
They earn a quarter million dollars a year.
That is more than twice as much as their counterparts in other wealthy countries.
So yeah, we're paying twice as much for our health care in America because the doctors get paid twice as much.
The drugs cost twice as much.
The hospital stays caught.
Everything costs twice as much in America medically because that's the way it's been rigged.
The economy has been rigged.
The laws of the free market have been written by people who are rigging it in favor of some people and at the detriment of other people.
This cost, doing this for doctors, costs the country roughly $100 billion a year in higher medical bills compared to a situation in which U.S. doctors receive the same pay as doctors elsewhere.
Economists, including trade economists, have largely chosen to ignore the barriers that sustain high professional pay at enormous economic cost.
So all these guys who put together all these, that's what he's saying.
Everybody's ignoring this.
He's the first person I've heard talk about this.
Have you heard this talked about before?
No, not really.
And I think something we should point out too, a common misconception that the general person makes often is they think, oh, well, that's because we're so much, our doctors get paid more because they're better.
No.
And then they're like, well, in other countries, no, in other countries, doctors still, they're making a great living.
Yes.
And you know what else they do?
Doctors in Canada still make a great living.
Yeah, and you know what those doctors don't have?
They don't have a ton of debt from med school.
So there's kind of an equilibrium here.
They also have paperwork ease, meaning like if you have a national health service like Britain, I and Canada, eh?
So if you have a single payer system, it cuts out on paperwork.
Yeah, huge.
Which also saves money on staff, too, because we have this whole insurance industry processing thing, and everything has a whole bunch of different rules that are constantly changing for each patient.
And it's a nightmare.
I've been friends with some doctors back when I was in Chicago.
And he just hated it.
He raged at the insurance companies because of all the stupid paperwork.
They have to spend all their time on the phones with insurance companies trying to get treatment okayed for their patients.
Right.
It's almost instead of just treating the patient.
It's almost like the people who make all the money get to write all the rules.
It's almost like that.
Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial impediment impacts on U.S. government policy.
Really?
It's almost what you said.
It's almost like the people with all the money get to make all the rules.
Exactly what he said.
There it is.
While average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.
The structuring of trade and rules on IP are two important ways in which policy has been designed to redistribute income upward over the last four decades.
There are many other ways in which the market has been structured to disadvantage those at the middle and bottom of the income distribution, perhaps most notably macroeconomic policies that result in high unemployment.
While tax and transfer policies that reduce poverty and inequality may be desirable, we should also be aware of the ways in which policy has been designed to increase inequality.
So what he's saying is, yeah, it's nice to have government policies that try to mitigate inequality, meaning taxing people and providing some welfare or providing free school or whatever.
Those are desirable.
It would be better to have an economy.
Well, he goes on, he says, it is much easier to have an economic system that just produces more equality.
So you don't have to go and remedy the inequality of your economic system with government welfare.
So just have a better economic system.
He's saying we could just do that.
We could just set up our trade deals that actually have a, that reduce income inequality.
We could just do that, but we're not.
What we've decided to do is have economic policy and trade policies that massively increase income inequality by protecting certain classes of people, like the owner class and the rich doctors and things like that, and screw over everybody else.
So I would say we need to have better trade.
So in a sense, you know, when Donald Trump says that we have shitty trade deals, he is correct.
But his idea is that we're going to, he's going to hire some American businessmen to go, that's, who's been negotiating those deals now?
American businessmen who have no loyalty to America except to their corporation.
If they can screw over American workers and make more money in Bangladesh, that's exactly what they do.
We already Have American business making our trade policy.
That's where Donald Trump is 100% wrong.
We already have great business guys.
They're doing it all at the behest of business.
Certainly not at the behest of Americans.
Yeah, well, and we have a setup that is just so strategically flawed where it's so obvious because over the past 40 years, as this author indicated, he uses that mark.
Over the past 40 years, we've become pretty much a completely service-based economy.
And now we don't have a population that can afford the services anymore because the middle class has been gutted.
People still tweet at me and send me emails.
Where are you getting this from that half the country's poor?
Because half the country in America is poor or in poverty.
Google, half the country is poor or in poverty.
Just Google that.
I have to tell grown-ups, go Google it.
People are like, Where are you getting this from?
Google it.
This isn't a secret information.
This isn't hidden.
Not only is it not hidden, that this is by design by our economic elite.
They've designed it this way.
Hello.
Jimmy, they're after me.
Bill, Bill O'Reilly, is this you?
Yes, it is I, Bill O'Reilly, TV host, author, and military historian, recently honored for my commitment to the U.S. Armed Forces.
But didn't you spend most of the Vietnam War on deferment at Maris College in England?
Their football team was murdered, Jimmy.
I still have the bone spurs to prove it.
Yeah, okay, but how did you commit yourself to the U.S. Armed Forces, Bill?
Well, for one thing, by avoiding it all my life.
Historians calculate that if I'd actually served in Vietnam, that war would have lasted as long as our current war, which is really stupid when you think about it.
Well, when you put it that way, yes.
They're coming for me, Jimmy.
The women's.
Who are the women's?
I'm not at liberty to divulge the name of any of the persons I've signed a settlement with for something that never happened.
However, I can give you the initials of one of them, MK.
My La Kunis?
No.
Michael Keaton?
No, you idiot.
Margot Kidder?
Getting called.
Martin Luther King.
Okay, Warmer.
Bill, you got me.
I give up.
Megan Kelly.
She wants my salary.
Her ratings are skyrocketing.
She wants what I'm getting.
And that's wrong for some reason.
And why is that?
I deserve more than she's getting because I have sexual seniority.
Read your holy Bible.
You see, man created a woman by taking one of his ribs and leaving it for three days in the bathroom with some moly towels.
Proving.
So that's why you don't think Megan Kelly deserves the same money as you?
I'm pointing my pen at you right now, Door.
You can't see me, but if you could see me, it'd be easy if you were in New York because my good friend Ray Kelly installed 3,000 cameras around Manhattan.
You'd see a man slyly cocking his head while pointing a pen in your direction.
You know what that means.
What?
In your face with inescapable no-spin truth, asparagus breath.
Bill, are you drunk again?
Hell no.
I'm just a little high.
On what?
Alcohol, you puts.
It's a lot different than being drunk.
You see, I have my chef, New York Archbishop Cardinal Timothy Dolan, distill all the water from a case of Jack Daniels.
Separate the medicine, old Nutracoodles, and then solidify the end product in one of those Ronco 5 tray electric food dehydrators.
Follow me?
No.
And then I smoke it.
Wait a minute.
You're smoking solid alcohol?
I have a prescription.
No, wait a second.
That's a Pink Berry coupon.
