Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Jimmy, it's me, Liam Neeson.
I want you to listen very closely because I only have time to repeat this four or five times.
I'm not dead.
I repeat, I am not dead.
I'm not dead.
Okay, we understand you're not dead, Liam.
Why the concern?
Well, you know, there's been a lot of celebrity deaths lately.
Mary Tyler Moore, Mike Connors of Manics, the guy who invented the Red Solo Cup.
I just wanted to assure everyone that I'll keep pumping out predictably stale action thrillers for the next decade at least and making a crapload of money.
For as much as I care about the plight of the downtrodden, I don't want to be anywhere near you, fucks, when the shit really starts hitting the fun.
Well, thanks, Liam.
That's very nice of you.
Yes, Jimmy, for I have experienced the beautiful and calming love of God.
Yes, I heard you had a spiritual reawakening, but how do you reconcile all your violent movies with your religious beliefs?
Let's not forget that the Bible has a high body count.
But ultimately, it's about love, Jimmy.
While filming the mission, I played an 18th century Spanish Jesuit fighting to protect a remote native tribe from the brutal rule of Portugal.
It was there I experienced the beautiful and calming love of God.
Wow, really?
Yes.
And then I played a raccoon in the nut job.
I forgot the plot of that film.
Pixar, if you will, a forest where there is a dangerous shortage of nuts.
I play the character of Raccoon, who orders the surrounding forest creatures to search for said nuts.
This includes squirrels, who are very tricky and cannot be trusted.
Oh, I see.
And why would a raccoon care that much about nuts?
Aren't squirrels in charge of nuts?
Excellent point, Jimmy.
That makes it even more puzzling when Raccoon orders everyone to search for a legendary magical city.
What city is that?
The lost city of Natlantis.
The lost city of Nutlantis?
Yes, the lost city of Nutlantis.
It grossed $65 million.
So to get back to your new relationship with God.
In my youth, I used to sit on my porch at night with a curtain of eggs.
One by one, the raccoons would appear in the moonlight.
It was then that I would slowly start rolling my eggs at them.
They loved eating my eggs.
And eventually they grew to love me.
And I'd invite them into my home to sit on the couch with me and watch the prices right.
Wow, that sounds nice.
Then one day I saw them dragging the neighbor's baby up a tree.
I was crestfallen.
You'd rather eat a baby than my delicious eggs.
So I decided to strike up a relationship with Christ, and he became my brother.
Someone I could talk to and roll eggs to.
But the second heat's a baby.
I'm right out of that relationship.
Know what I mean?
Anyway, thank you for listening, Jimmy.
And remember, I'm not dead.
Okay.
I want a heart attack now.
It's the Jimmy Door Show.
The show for Lucky.
The kind of people that are on tearing down our nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper say...
It's hard to talk when you keep adding.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
I'm joined in the studio by Ebby Award-winning rider Jim Earl.
Hi, Jim.
Hi, Kremlin puppet.
It's hard to make jokes about Nordstrom dumping Ivanka's fashions when the DNC still insists on wearing the same shit-in grin that lost us the election.
It's true.
Huh?
It's funny because it's true.
Because it's true.
So the White House is saying that the media isn't covering terrorist attacks enough.
In one of their statements where they were upset about this, they misspelled attacker multiple times.
So they immediately issued a connection.
Do you know that Jeff Sessions, Senator Jeff Sessions?
Well, his middle name is Beauregard.
He was named after Jefferson Davis, the Confederate general.
Beauregard, also another Confederate general.
So he's got two Confederate general names in his so just naming your son Jefferson Beauregard.
It's a lot like if Adolf Hitler's mom named her son Jeff Sessions.
Did you know that this week, Republican Mark Walker of North Carolina said, quote, how far will the progressive movement go to try to intimidate us?
Notice, notice he didn't say the Democratic Party movement.
He said the progressive movement.
Keep that in mind.
Not a joke, but very insightful.
Hey, you know, Melania Trump is suing.
Melania Trump is suing a blogger because she claims he made it harder for her to, quote, boost her personal brand.
That's why she's suing, because the blogger made it hard for Melania to boost her personal brand.
Hey, if Melania really wanted to boost her personal brand, maybe her signature fragrances wouldn't consist of fear pee signature fragrance.
Chris Matthews, huh?
That guy is sharp as attack.
I love Chris Matthews.
And by love, I don't mean what you think.
But you know, it does take a special kind of journalist to let the phrase Bowling Green Massacre go by without saying anything.
Good for you, Chris Matthews.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
We're going to talk to economist Mark Blythe.
He's the guy who predicted Brexit.
He also predicted Trump.
Plus, we got phone calls from Mitt Romney.
Senator Bernie Sanders.
Liam Neeson's going to call in today.
Plus, a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore show.
Yay, all right.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Hey, Jimbo, this is Rick Perry again.
Oh, hey, Governor Perry.
Look, I'm kind of in the middle of...
I know you're doing a show right now.
Hey, everybody.
Yeah.
What can I do for you?
Well, Jimmy, I'm just...
About what?
The country's going to hell fast right now, buddy.
Not sure if you've noticed.
Energy!
Energy, Jimmy.
Hashtag excited about energy.
Being Secretary of Energy.
And Jimmy, I need your help and support to get the word out about energy.
Governor, what are you talking about?
I made up some special headbands, sweatbands, you know, for working out that say energy on them in big old Texas letters.
Okay.
Will you wear one in solidarity with me?
And end of energy.
I want to know what you're thinking.
Tell me what's on your mind.
Pure energy.
Huh?
What do you Look, Jimmy, when I was on Dancing with the Stars, which, by the way, made me more qualified to be Secretary of Energies and even being Governor of Texas, I realized the importance of energy, being fit, wellness.
The Department of Energy is not concerned with energy in the sense of...
Dragon ass.
Am I right?
Governor, I...
Oh, boy.
As well as an initiative to get people, young and old, fat and skinny, city mouse or town mouse, to go get out there and exercise.
Let's move.
Get some fresh air, energy.
Dance like everybody is watching.
Take some pain pills and wiggle around.
Stare directly into the face of a loving God.
Governor Perry, is this the President Trump mandate for his energy department?
I don't know, man.
To be honest, I don't think he really cares.
He hasn't told me much.
I don't really see him around.
Actually, I haven't seen him since they put me in here.
Where are you?
I don't know, man.
I came too, and the door's locked.
Look, I got to go.
I'm doing a show.
Okay, chat soon.
Let's hear some energy, though.
Woo!
Guess what?
I was reading the HuffPo.
It hurts to read it these days, but I saw this article.
It said Pentagon reportedly failed to disclose up to thousands of airstrikes.
The Pentagon failed to disclose.
Isn't that funny?
We're bombing other countries and it's a secret, even to our own people.
Isn't that funny?
That's funny.
And it says the Pentagon has failed to disclose up to thousands of airstrikes the U.S. military carried out over several years in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan.
Thousands of airstrikes.
What the?
Thousands, not 10, not 20, not 100, not a thousand.
Thousands of airstrikes.
What?
In Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Why are there refugees that Trump is banning?
Oh, that's right.
Because as a country, we've been bombing them non-stop for the last 15, 16 years.
Non-stop bombing them.
Okay.
Last year, the United States carried out at least 456 airstrikes in Afghanistan that were not documented.
Almost 500 airstrikes.
Each one of those bombs got to cost a couple million dollars, right?
I'm going to guess.
I know a tomahawk.
I think a tomahawk costs like $2 million each.
So at $500, that's a billion dollars right there just in bombs, right?
I'm not a math surgeon, so if I did that wrong.
The incomplete data could go back to October 2001, according to the military.
You mean all the way back to when we started bombing Afghanistan?
They've been not reporting the stuff accurately.
That's weird.
The military is usually always so upfront.
Tom Brokaw, they gave him an award, so they love news and reporting and fact-finding.
The military.
Jesus Christ.
Just to keep in mind that the American government has been warmongering, killing people at the behest of oil companies in the military-industrial complex and Saudi Arabia for a long, long time, killing those people.
That's why we have refugees.
That's why they want to get the F out of their countries because we keep bombing them.
But everybody's upset if you ban them.
But nobody seemed to, there wasn't any protests when we were bombing them.
Still none.
Still none.
Oh, if only we could bomb them at the airport, then everyone would finally give a shit.
So the reason why I tell you that, just to keep in mind, that the government lies all the time about war, constantly lying.
This is not the good war.
We're not fighting Nazis.
We're going to other people's countries and bombing them.
Why?
At the behest of Saudi Arabia, at the behest of oil companies, at the behest of the military-industrial complex.
That's why.
Remember that video we showed you with General Wesley Clark when he said after 9-11, they already had a plan to invade all these countries.
Well, guess what?
We bombed them all.
So here, I want to bring this up because this is, it says House Armed Services Chair, the House Armed Services Chair says the U.S. needs missiles that can reach Iran and North Korea.
No kidding.
There's a weapon we don't have yet.
There's another weapon that you didn't know we needed.
Apparently, I guess having nuclear submarines with the power to blow up the whole world isn't enough.
You need another missile.
So Representative Mark Thornberry of Texas told reporters that the U.S. should expand, should expand its ballistic arsenal to include long-range missiles that could reach Iran and North Korea.
All those bases we have in Germany, and now we're going to Poland.
In Japan, we have bases, South Korea, all the bases we have, Saudi Arabia.
I guess none of those bases are good enough.
We need more military.
If you look at what's happening around the world, I would mention Iran and North Korea.
The importance of missiles defense is increasing.
Again, we always need to spend even more money.
So I'm sure he's not lying, even though I just showed you the story.
He's not saying we need to spend more money on schools or health care or roads, bridges, libraries, firemen, solar.
No, no, we got to develop a new bomb to kill people.
The worst way to spend money, the worst way to create jobs is to defense spending, by the way.
Actors around the world are building missiles that are harder to stop, he added.
So let's spend more money on other missiles of countries that are never going to invade us, ever.
Ever.
North Korea, never going to invade us.
Iran, never going to invade us.
What did we do?
We invaded Iraq right next door.
We killed everybody.
And we've been trying to knock off everybody in Syria, too.
We've just been doing it non-stop.
Afghanistan, same thing.
But we should be worried about them.
Iran's going to attack us.
So I'm going to look this up.
I'm going to look up how much money he took from defense contractors and if there's a missile building factory and see if Mark Thornberry has any, how many missiles they build in his district or how much money he's taken.
On Friday, the White House announced new Sanctions on Iran and put Tehran on notice after running a ballistic test.
So Iran ran a missile test.
We put them on notice because they ran a missile test in their own country.
We, by the way, have invaded the rest of the countries around them and are occupying them.
But it's okay, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria.
Don't worry about any of that.
You better watch that you're testing your own missile inside your own country.
Now, listen to this.
This is a report.
Get a little bit of military exercises get underway in Iran.
The Guardians of the Revolution, a branch of the armed forces, say the maneuver showed Tehran is prepared to confront the threat posed by what are described as humiliating sanctions imposed by the U.S. on Friday.
Tehran carried out a missile test on.
So the United States put more sanctions, and they call them humiliating sanctions.
So they're ramping up war.
Barack Obama, on his way out the door, was shooting at Iranian military boats on their way out the door.
So they're ramping up.
So again, what General Wesley Clark said seems to be holding out Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon.
January the 29th.
On a visit to Japan, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is clear.
This is the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the world.
And I think it is.
We literally invaded the country next door, killed half a million people, a million people.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Sharif took to Twitter to respond to allegations of aggression from former President Donald Trump.
He said that Iran would never use its weapons for anything other than defense, adding, let us see if any of those who complain can make that same statement.
No, they cannot.
No, they cannot say that they'll only use their missiles for defense.
Because we started a thing called preemption, the doctrine of preemptive war.
Meaning, I'm going to bomb you because I think you want to bomb me later.
You can't do that in your real life.
You can't just be walking down the street and punch some guy walk down.
What'd you do that for?
You looked like you were gonna hit me later.
Hello.
Hey, Jimmy, it's Mitt Romney.
Oh, hey, how's it going?
Oh, fantastic.
I'm here in Massachusetts.
I got some news for you.
The Patriots won the Super Bowl.
Yeah, I know, Mitt.
Oh, you do that already.
Yeah.
I didn't think the gays were watching football now.
Anyway, yeah, months of T-Boeing finally paid off.
T-Bowing.
People still do that?
Oh, yeah, sure they do, Jimmy.
And it's quite effective.
See, what we believe is that God channeled himself through T-Bow, but eventually had to stop.
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, you've seen that guy throw a football before.
Jesus did say blessed are the meek, but good God, that's got limits.
So instead, he went with the safer bet and stuck with Tom Brady.
Gotcha.
Yeah, and it makes me sick to my stomach to see these heathen liberals hating on the Patriots because of their ties to Trump.
Those commercials celebrating the radical liberal agenda and tarnishing the beautiful person that is the NFL?
The NFL's a person, huh?
Yes, Jimmy, but that's not a recent thing.
See, it used to be a nonprofit, but now that it's a corporate organization, it's a person.
Okay.
Well, congratulations on your win, Mitt.
But sorry some of the commercials bummed you out.
Well, it took away from the integrity of the league, Jimmy.
Look at all the good the NFL does.
Do you know how much money they give to cancer research because of them teaming up with the wholesome organizations like Susan G. Komen?
Countless pennies on the dollar, Jimmy.
Just countless.
Right.
Not to mention, our kids need decent role models.
Do you want them to listen to Bernie Sanders insulting our president-elect?
Or do you want them to follow go-getters like Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger, Ray Rice, or my new pet sitter, Mike Vick?
I mean, the list goes on and on.
All great role models.
Good, decent, God-fearing millionaires giving each other brain damage.
Anyway, Jimmy, I gotta go.
Victory parades are happening.
I'm planning a citywide prayer circle.
That doesn't sound okay.
Oh, yeah, Jimmy.
It's okay now.
Trump's doing all kinds of great things for religious liberty.
The Mormon Tebrid Echo Choir had a long chat with him.
Are you down with the dab?
That in between the face painting and Adolph the crypto Nazi mime.
Mad at inauguration at Great Entertainment.
Wow.
I never thought I'd see the day.
It's a new America, Jimmy.
It's going to be prop aid on steroids by the time we're done.
Hallelujah.
Praise Jesus.
Go fuck yourself.
So the DNC is going through some machinations.
And what that means when I say machinations is that they're trying to figure out who the hell they are.
I think they know who they are, and who they are is a bunch of corporate cocksuckers.
And so they're trying to figure out how do we get people who don't like corporate cockhuckers to vote for us because we're not going to stop taking the corporate money.
We're not going to stop sucking the corporate car.
So how do we do?
What do we do?
What kind of trick do we have to pull?
How little can we do for workers, students, the poor, and still get their vote?
That seems to be what the DNC is doing.
Remember this, right?
So this question was at the DNC.
Another show of hands question.
Who here believes that the DNC did unfairly put its thumb on the scale during the 2016 primary?
That's a gotcha question.
I'm not going to answer it.
Thank you.
So that's a gotcha question.
That's how they, and nobody raised their hand.
It's a gotcha question.
You know, I gotcha question, something that's straightforward, that can't be spun.
That's a gotcha question.
They're not going to answer.
They're not going to answer the guy.
Boy, they...
What?
They're all like, they're like, and yeah, they swatted that question down like it was a progressive platform.
Are you kidding me?
So we all know that's the problem, right?
I mean, let's hear it again, because I love the show.
Who here believes that the DNC did unfairly put its thumb on the scale during the 2016 primary?
That's a gotcha question.
I'm not going to answer it.
Thank you.
So I saw two guys go, well, no, the question is really, hey, can you admit that you guys cheated so we can have free and fair elections going forward?
And they plead the fifth.
So that's what's wrong with the D. I mean, that's again, I know institutions are slow to change, but if you're completely freaking wiped out, completely wiped out, maybe you try to change a little.
So here's a guy.
His name is Sam Ronan.
He's from Ohio.
He's also running for DNC chair.
He's not wearing a suit or even a collared shirt.
And he wants to be DNC chair?
That does not, it doesn't sound like he's been taking enough corporate money.
I mean, that guy, he could have got that at Target, that shirt.
I mean, you can't be a DNC.
Anyway, here's what he had to say.
And this is what this has been making the rounds.
So I want to address it.
So let's listen to it.
Well, I got to say, Keith Ellison makes a very strong argument, and for the right reasons.
We do need to reach out together.
We do need to build those bridges because they were burned and they were burned deliberately.
Because so many of those people that are disenfranchised thought the primaries were rigged against them and their candidates.
And the fact of the matter is, it's true.
The Democratic Party has not been open to outsiders and new members in our entire history.
Well, okay, I guess.
Again, I don't want to be too nitpicky, but Keith Ellison is like, he should be like, yes, instead of, why be wishy-washy about the fucking truth?
This guy's not.
Want to bring those people back?
We need to prove to them that we're willing to open the doors.
Secondly, and most importantly, we have to have accountability.
If we're going to be Democrats, if we're going to be congressional leaders, if we're going to be secretaries of labor, and if we're going to be mayors, and we're going to call ourselves Democrats, we damn well better own up to that.
Because right now, we have senators.
There is no accountability.
Debbie Washerman Schultz get caught literally cheating, breaking the rules, being unethical, screwing over the progressive wing of her party, and the guy who's standing up for workers.
And what was the punishment?
She got a promotion.
She got to go work on Hillary Clinton's campaign.
She's still in no shame.
No embarrassment.
No accountability.
Nothing happened to Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Donna Brazil got caught cheating and everyone knows it.
And nothing happened to her.
She's still the head of the DNC right now.
Even just for optics, you would want to get rid of Donna Brazil.
That's how ensconced the corruption is in their brains that they don't understand that they should just do it.
What's the point of having her there?
How is that helping you, having someone who's repulsive to half the party who's a cheat, who's been publicly outed as a cheat and a liar?
What does the DNC get by keeping her?
She's already been revolted by her own staff.
So here, back to him.
Congressmen who called themselves Democrats who are rubber stamping Trump cabinet appointees.
And that is unacceptable.
Now, I might not have.
Not a lot of head shaking on that one.
Nobody's going, yeah, that's wrong.
And everybody's like, well, you know, we got to have a strategy.
Got to be pragmatic.
You got to vote for Ben Carson.
Enough cloud or all these different, you know, all these different people supporting me.
But what I do have.
Thank you, Keith.
Keith.
Team Ronin.
What I do have is conviction.
I was in the military too.
I know what a good leader looks like.
And I know that it's easy to say that we will fight against the opposition.
Everybody in this room is and has been doing that.
That goes without saying.
But the hard part, the truth, the reality is that we messed up as a party.
We need to own that, and we need to hold our fellow Democrats responsible.
As your DNC chairman, that's exactly what I would do.
I would offer those olive branches.
I would build those bridges.
I would give millennials, progressives, and Bernie Crats the opportunities, the resources, and the tools to succeed.
But I would also hold our members accountable.
Because if we don't, we lose what little credibility we have left.
And that is the fight we must win.
I agree with the young man.
Yes, there's no accountability.
The Democrats have morphed into the Republican Party.
They don't hold anybody accountable.
And if you try, they gaslight you.
There's nothing wrong.
We didn't do anything.
Did you put your thumb on the scale?
That's a gotcha question.
Worthless.
Worthless.
You know what they say?
If you ignore history, you're bound to win in 2018.
So there you go.
We played other things from DNC forums, and it's pathetic.
It's pathetic.
It's like the Republicans after they got wiped out when they were like, hey, we got to do an autopsy and their autopsy is, hey, let's do it.
Then they don't do anything.
The only thing is the Republicans were running up against an even more inept organization called the DNC.
Hey, I know we'll beat Republicans with Republicans who aren't as abrasive.
That's it.
So good for you, Sam Ronin.
Is that his name?
Sam Ronin.
The DNC needs someone with that kind of clarity and who can speak that plainly and honestly.
You got to beat Trump with something, and you can't beat Trump with gaslighting and fear-mongering, which is exactly what they tried, which is nothing.
That's what Republicans do.
Republicans gaslight and fear monger.
Oh, that's what the DNC does now, ever since the Democrats became Republicans.
Huh?
Yeah, it happened.
This is when I say thanks to everybody who thinks about the Jimmy Dore show.
When they buy something from Amazon.com, you know, we don't encourage anybody to shop on Amazon, but we say if you're going to shop at Amazon anyway, have some of that money go to a good progressive cause like the Jimmy Dore show.
It's real easy.
How does it work?
You go to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
You click on the Amazon box.
It's right on the front page.
It takes you to Amazon.
And then when you buy something, they send us money.
That's it.
Nothing to it.
Doesn't change the way you shop at Amazon and it doesn't cost you anything, but it's a big help to the show.
So thanks, everybody who does that.
And now let's get to the second half of the show.
Hello?
Hi.
This is former President of the United States, Barack Obama.
Am I speaking with the head of the household?
This isn't a household.
I'm in my studio.
Because we have some very attractive Caribbean timeshare properties we know you'd be interested in.
But this opportunity won't last for long.
So right now, press pound for more information.
You won't regret it.
Hello?
Yeah, I got a robo call from Barack Obama, and I want this to stop.
Thank you for calling Richard Branson Property today.
May I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking with?
You know who this is.
You just called me.
No worries.
Before we start, may I have your date of birth and the last four digits of your social.
Look, I don't want to start with you on anything.
I just want the robo calls to stop, please.
I understand your frustration.
Would you like to hold while I pull up your file?
I don't have a file with you.
Please don't worry.
Your satisfaction is important to us.
Let me take a moment to see what I can do for your situation.
Brock, I don't want to buy anything.
Take me off your call list.
I understand your frustration, James, may I put you on hold for a moment while I pull up your file and figure out what the difficulty is.
Hello?
Is anybody there?
Hi, James.
Are you still there?
I apologize for any inconvenience.
I know how frustrating this could be.
Jesus Christ.
But there's good news.
I was able to access your file.
What file?
Let's see.
I got your NSA file, your FBI file, your CIA file, your DHS file, and your thrush file.
Thrush?
Yes, the technological hierarchy for the removal of undesirables and the subjugation of humanity file.
A tandy corporation.
That's from an old TV show.
That's not real.
It's real now, fucker.
What?
Take my word for it.
Branson Caribbean Resorts is the perfect casual backwards baseball cap vacation spot for you and your whole family.
The perfect place to get away in the sun while the country's falling apart.
How can you be so laid back while all this is happening?
That's a good question, James.
May I please put you on hold while I crush your nuts and advice?
Look, I just want this to stop.
No worries.
Please allow me a few moments to pull up your account.
My account?
Our country's in the hands of a lunatic, Barack.
I understand your concern, James, but as you know, the United States of America is now spectrum.
You should be receiving a Bill of the Mail with brand new graphics.
Now, would you like to hear more about our timeshares?
No.
You're very welcome, Jimmy.
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Yeah.
Where's Hillary been?
She's busy writing a book of essays.
It should be out by the fall.
I mean, the fall of this country.
Just a little, I don't care, I'm not president anymore.
Humor.
Okay, bye.
You're very welcome.
Is there anything else I can help you with?
No.
Okay.
You have a wonderful day.
You'll be receiving a follow-up call asking how I did.
Give me a nice review or SEAL Team 6 will kill your family.
Bye.
Auf Wiedersehen.
*musique*
What are we going to talk about?
Well, it turns out the Democrats are desperate for Bernie Sanders' email list.
Now, if you know anything about Bernie Sanders, he showed all the other politicians that you don't have to take corporate money because that's the whole thing.
We can't show up to a knife fight with a spoon.
That's what the Democrats say.
Meaning, we have to take corporate money so we can have resources to fight back against the Republicans who have corporate money.
So we're going to take the corporate money to fight against those guys taking corporate money.
So you see how that doesn't work, right?
At all.
And Bernie showed them that's how it does.
You don't have to do that.
He showed that you're a chump if you have to take their money because if you just go right to the people, the people will fund you.
And that's what happened to him.
So this article on Mother Jones by Tim Murphy, sorry you have to work with that horrible Clara Jeffrey, Tim.
Sorry you have to work with her.
God, God damn, what a cognitive dissonance that she lives in, that cognitive dissonance bubble.
She's the editor of Mother Jones.
She should be editing Forbes.
That's where that I'm you.
Anyway, so let's get back to this story.
Sanders, who raised $218 million online from a record 2.8 million donors.
You know how Mother Jones has it, you know, they were invented so they could undermine progressives.
That's what that's what, so back to the story.
Sanders, who raised $218 million online from a record 2.8, a record, 2.8 million donors, rewrote the rules of email fundraising during his campaign by relentlessly courting small dollar donors, which, as we all remember, the average donation was $27.
Wait, I want some lemon.
$20?
Stop.
Wait up.
Wait, I need some lemon.
For many of those donors, Sanders, listen to this.
This is Keith.
Sanders was the first Democratic presidential candidate they had ever supported, or the first politician they had ever helped.
So, oh, Bernie Sanders does that thing all politicians claim to do, but he actually did it, which is the most valuable thing you can have as a politician, the ability to draw new people into your party.
He expands the party.
He brought people who weren't involved in politics.
They got involved in politics because of him.
And he was the first one they'd ever cared about.
And now they're like, oh, you got those people?
Former Labor Secretary Tom Perez, a frontrunner in the election for Democratic National Committee chair, said he wants to get ready for this?
Quote, to learn from Senator Sanders about how he did it.
Oh, it's a fucking Rubik's Cube.
How do you wait a minute?
You didn't take any corporate money.
You told the people what the actual problem was, and you had bold solutions to their problems.
I don't, what's the secret?
I don't get it.
It's a mystery.
It's a mystery.
You mean you didn't, you're not corrupted, and you're going to actually put legislation in place that helps people in a big way.
How does this work?
I don't get it.
I really would need to learn from Senator Sanders about how he did it.
How did he do it?
Because I thought, get in bed with Wall Street, you hang out with billionaires, you go to fundraisers, you go kill a baby with David Brock, and then you lose.
That's how we do it.
How did he do it?
Democrats have made no secret they covered Sanders' list, which Sanders controls through his Senate campaign and the political nonprofit he founded, our revolution.
Our revolution won't be giving over the list, said Jeff Weaver, the group's president.
And who was Sanders' presidential campaign manager?
Sanders, for his part, has mostly stayed quiet about the future of the list, which one Democratic consultant referred to as precious.
They keep thinking it's the list, says Becky Bond, who, as a senior advisor to Sanders, helped build the candidate's national organizing operation.
It's so crazy.
It's like someone who buys a $12,000 bicycle and thinks they can win the tour de France.
Yet it's not the list.
It's not.
It's not like there's something magical about Bernie's email list, said Michael Whitney.
The thing that differentiates Bernie's, meaning his email list, from any other email list has been that there is a message of people being in this together.
That's his message, that we're in this together.
We're together against them.
Whereas the usual Democratic message is, we're with them too, and then you help us fight some of them.
And there was a message of empowerment.
Sanders needed small donors because he was campaigning against the politics of big money.
And supporters opened up their wallets in response to his assault on the well-heeled corporate and political establishment.
His fundraising pitch and policy platform were in sync in a way that most campaigns can't match.
So his fundraising pitch was, it's us against them.
And his policy platform actually coincided with that.
It was actually for the little guy against them.
Meanwhile, a lot of Democrats, Barack Obama, most of the corporate Democrats, they know the language of liberalism and populism, but their policies don't match up at all.
Barack Obama says that we have to respect the Constitution, and then he repeals habeas corpus, tortures private manning, cracks the head of peaceful protesters.
He says we got to strengthen unions, and then he doesn't give them card check.
So they know the words.
They know how to make you feel good because people vote on emotions.
And Barack Obama was great at that, to give you a good feeling of emotion, but the policies never wound up.
They never matched up with those emotions.
Whereas Bernie Sanders actually did.
So his fundraising pitch and his policy platforms were in sync in a way that most campaigns can't match.
Detaching Sanders' list from his message, Sanders' backers argue, would diminish what made it so valuable.
Yes, it would.
If I get a fucking email from Ted Cruz, it's not going to help.
Hey, I got your email from Senator Sanders.
I'm Ted Cruz.
Can you help me out?
No.
If you send me a thing saying that you're going to be helping out Corey Booker or any of those other corporate jaguars, no, it doesn't help.
If the DNC, if I get this email from the DNC and the chairperson of the DNC is Tom Perez, doesn't help.
I'm repelled by you.
Sorry, I'm going to the Democratic Socialists or the Greens.
And you're going to get primaried by the Justice Democrats.
How about that?
Bernie Sanders' list isn't an ATM machine, and just handing it over to the DNC might raise a little bit of money, but it won't produce a fraction of what it's capable of, says Tim Tagoris, who was Sanders' digital fundraising director for the campaign.
They still need to figure out the pin.
So you have, again, so you have access to these progressives, but you're not a progressive and you don't represent them and they know it, so it's not going to freaking work unless you actually are progressive.
Democrats often treat their email lists as chicken little.
The sky is falling.
Try to con money out of people.
Whereas Bernie took steps to actually bring people together and have messaging that they were a part of it and treat people with respect, Whitney says.
Boy, the Democrats, their emails do try to scare the shit.
I'm on their list, right?
So I get the emails.
Oh, boy.
As an example of what he and other Sanders supporters are afraid of, he points to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the Driple C, which peppers its email list at the end of each month with passive-aggressive, quote, final notice emails, warning them that their membership in the party will expire if they don't donate immediately.
I've gotten those.
It's crazy that they do that.
They do it.
They're straight up lying to people to get money, says Melissa Byrne, the digital director for Sanders' New Hampshire primary campaign, who was now running for vice chair of the DNC.
The recent fundraising success of the ACLU, which raised more than $25 million over three days after, they raised $25 million like that.
So they raised $25 million over three in three days after President Donald Trump announced his travel ban.
That speaks to the success an established organization can have in the Trump era, meaning the ACLU.
So if you're a progressive organization and you actually are going to push back against stuff, you can get funding.
Again, you don't need to go buy a knife.
You can use the spoon if the spoon is being held by millions of people.
As Helen Hong said, maybe he turns it into a grapefruit spoon and we stab you.
So the point is you can do this.
You don't need to keep saying that stupid thing that Tom Perez keeps saying that we can't bring a spoon to a knife fight.
No, you go to a knife fight with a knife not funded by the guy you're trying to kill.
You go with a knife funded by millions of small donors.
That's what gives it power.
That's a bad analogy, by the way, to knife a spoon to a knife fight.
As one former Sanders digital staffer jokes in an email noting that Sanders via email appeals had raised, get this, more money directly for Democratic candidates than any other politician in 2016.
So that's the guy that's not even a Democrat.
He's not even a Democrat.
Raised more money directly for Democrats than anyone else.
Maybe the DNC should turn their list over to Bernie.
Yeah.
So here we are, the DNC, they have no idea what they're doing.
They still die.
I still got to take...
And then we win.
You don't win by being inauthentic.
You don't win by pretending that you're progressive when you're actually not at all.
You don't win by alienating half your base, the future of your party, all the people under 35 years old.
You don't win by gaslighting.
That's what Republicans do.
Republicans gaslight and intimidate voter shame.
Now the Democrats do it.
Why?
Because they're Republicans ever since Bill Clinton.
People don't believe this.
People still having a hard time.
Your stupid thing isn't going to help you.
The email list from Bernie Sanders not going to help you.
Ring ring.
Hello.
Jimmy, hey, what's happening?
Is this Ted Cruz?
Hell yeah, sweaty Teddy.
That's what all the ladies say to me after I'm done bagging them.
Ted, are you okay?
Yeah, bro.
I'm awesome.
Are you still like being you?
Ted, you're drunk, aren't you?
No, man.
No, Jimmy.
I just had two or 12 cocktails.
What are you drinking?
Mike's hard lemonade.
That's not surprising.
What?
Nothing.
No, come on, man.
I'm celebrating something.
Really?
What are you celebrating, Ted?
What do you mean when I celebrate?
I just kicked Bernie Sanders ass in the CNN debate.
Actually, more people are saying Bernie won.
Fake news says what?
What?
I got you, bitch.
Very funny, Ted.
No, man, I won.
Anyone saying otherwise, that's fake news.
That's the spirit.
He was all like, I think healthcare is all right.
Wah, wah, wah.
And I was like, yeah, well, you're old.
Yeah, he took it.
I don't think you ever said that, although it would have been no less insightful than the responses you did make.
Why, thank you, Jimmy.
Right.
You're welcome.
That was definitely a compliment.
Jimmy, this is it for me, man.
I've got the heat.
That's what you say in Hollywood, right?
I'm in heat.
Well, you wouldn't say you're in heat.
That isn't exactly right.
I'm in heat.
You're just jealous Because I know the Hollywood lingo.
You thought only you knew.
You caught me.
Look, Jimmy, I'm on the roll.
And this is a new level for me.
I'm running in 2020.
Cool.
Good for you, Ted.
Can I count on your endorsement?
Absolutely not.
Ah, this is bull.
Whatever, man.
I got my people behind me.
We're kidding in a White House in 2-0-2-0.
See, Jimmy, I got planning to do.
Okay, bye, Ted.
Ted Cruz!
Ted Cruz!
Very glad to have joining us today this political scientist of international political economy from Brown University.
He's best known for his critique of austerity and the book Austerity: The History of a Bad Idea.
It's Mark Blythe.
Mark, thanks so much for taking time to talk with us today.
How are you?
I'm doing fine, all things considered.
So let's just talk about the United States first because, you know, Greece and Europe and what's happening, I want to talk about that too.
But first, I've been making the case on my show that Donald Trump just puts the ugly face on government that we've been doing all along, and that Barack Obama put a lot of people to sleep for all the ugly stuff he did, including economically, not only bombing the Middle East non-stop.
Foreign policy becomes drone whack-a-mole.
It's unbelievable.
So he's been bombing these people, creating refugees, and then when the refugees get here, Trump stops them, and everybody's like, you can't stop them, but they don't mind if Barack Obama caused them.
Think about the fact that the people caught in the airports and the travel ban were Iraqis who risked their lives to help us as translators.
I mean, you know, where's the equity in that one?
Absolutely.
And that and that was happening back when the Arab Spring started back in 2011, Barack Obama stopped.
Yes, so that's the way it's like Barack Obama for the left to get upset at his policies of bombing, that he would actually literally have to bomb them at the airports in America, and then they might get pissed off about it.
No, the one that gets me with Obama with this one is like, oh, but he had this Republican Congress and like he couldn't get anything done and it was so unfair.
He knew that going in.
That's a constant, not a variable.
If you know that's the gig, you go in and you fight.
How many times did Reagan go on television to get above the parapets and get over Congress?
I think it was seven times.
How many times did Barack do it?
Remember when he made his defining speech of the generation about inequality?
And then they focus grouped it and it disappeared?
Yeah, absolutely.
So inequality keeps growing.
And Barack Obama comes in and was Ralph Nader correct?
Is Bernie Sanders correct?
Do we have one party economically in America?
I think we do, but I think what's happening with Republicans now is absolutely fascinating in this regard.
Because what Bannon represents and what Trump represents, the sort of neo-nationalist split in the Republican Party, is a profoundly anti-globalist, anti-consensus movement.
And what they tapped into, which was already there, the simmering well of discontent when the blue wall fell down because the Democrats didn't even think it was appropriate to go and visit their own core supporters until it was too late.
What they tapped into was a bunch of people who have seen the reality of having their community's assets stripped, have been sold down out, and then having politician after politician, both left and right, come to them for 25 years and say, vote for me, jobs, vote for me, better future.
And every day and every week and every year, more people on myth, lower wages, more stress in the community, right?
More crappy roads, more crappy schools.
And finally, they just say, you know, I figured this out.
You're all liars.
And along comes Trump, and Trump actually says, you know what, this trade stuff's really to you guys.
And you're like, yeah, oh my God, he actually just said that?
Did he just say that?
Because we've been saying that for years, right?
Yeah, and you know what else?
It's these are making out like bandits, the Wall Street guys, the whole lot.
They're the ones that could bail out.
Where's your bailout?
Oh my God, he sounds like Bernie Sanders.
So you've got this movement in the Republican Party.
Now, whether they do anything about it for working people is an entirely different thing.
But they've tapped into that and they have broken that consensus wide open.
So the interesting Obama was very much the guy for change who basically maintained the status quo.
And what you've got now is the guy who's running the party that is meant to be the status quo and he's busting up status quo seven ways to Sunday in some truly destructive ways, but he's not a consensus player.
How did we get here?
Did it all start with Reagan?
Because we had income inequality like this during the Gilded Age.
And then Teddy Roosevelt came along and did the antitrust.
Barack Obama wouldn't even enforce antitrust laws.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
I mean, think about things like Uber and Amazon and all the rest of it.
I mean, Uber is basically a giant jobs destruction machine for retail.
You know, that's what Amazon does, right?
I mean, Uber is essentially a monopoly play for every taxi market, undercutting every taxi system that's there.
And then once they finally push everybody out of the market, become monopoly players.
I mean, this is exactly what antitrust was written for.
To get back to the question, though, like, let's pick it up.
So I've got a short way of telling this story.
Hopefully, it makes sense to people.
So look, here's the deal.
Back in the 1940s, you've come off of fighting fascism and you've got the Soviet Union there occupying half of Europe.
And the capitalist classes of the West go, we nearly died.
We nearly lost everything.
So this time around, we need to make sure one thing happens.
We can't just squeeze labor for profits.
We basically have to discipline capital to make sure that they invest at home.
We need to keep the barriers on capital so that banks can't just move money around to make money and cause disruptions.
And we created a kind of what was called an embedded liberal economy rather than a sort of open liberal economy.
And that created this big middle class of high wage growth.
And what it meant with firms was you had cola contracts, strong unions, strong businesses.
And that meant that you had a kind of partnership in growth.
Now, the reason business went along with this is because they didn't really have an alternative.
And what it forced them to do was to innovate rather than just squeeze labor.
Now, the problem with this system was over a 30-year period.
And there was a Polish economist called Mikel Kalecki who saw this in 1943 and wrote about it.
And he literally predicted the 1970s.
An incredible little piece.
Again, I can send you a copy of it on the website.
It's seven pages long.
And he says, here's your problem.
If you constantly try and target full employment as the policy goal, you're going to end up dragging even low wages higher and higher.
And the only way businesses can respond is by pushing prices up and up.
So if wages go up, prices go up, wages go up, you're going to end up with inflation.
And inflation kills capital because ultimately it's a tax on investment.
If you're expecting a 5% rate of return, you've got a 7% inflation.
You might as well shut the shop now.
That was the 1970s.
So to get rid of the inflation, we jack up interest rates, we open up capital markets, we deregulate the banks, we globalize production, we do all this stuff.
And what happens is, beginning in about 73, but accelerating in 1980, productivity and wages used to move exactly together.
And now productivity does this and wages does this.
And that's the gap.
Now, where's all that cash going to?
It's going to the corporates.
It's going to the top.
It's going to the banks.
This is the beginning of the inequality skew.
But here's the thing.
What are we targeting now?
What we target now is price stability.
All the stuff about independent central banks and inflation is the worst thing possible.
Because that's a way of guarding the real returns on profits.
So you run this out for 30 years and you end up with a very weird world.
It's the opposite of the 70s.
It's one where no matter how much money you dump into the system, there's no inflation.
And it's one where you don't have to play nice to labor because if they ask for a pay rise, you can ship their job abroad.
And you can't really augment their jobs with capital and improve them because 80% of them are in the service sector.
How do you give a hairdresser automation?
Do they have a giant pair of electric shares, right?
What does it do, right?
How do you automate home health care?
How do you automate elder care?
You don't.
So you've got a lot of low productivity sectors.
All of this is coming together at a time when, to make ends meet, because taxes have been cut, public goods aren't being produced.
What happens?
People have taken on boatloads of personal debt and their wages aren't rising.
There's no inflation to eat away the value of the debts.
The creditors are knocking on the door.
They're financially stressed.
And the parties like the Democrats, the mainstream Democrats have the temerity in the Simone to come out and say, everything's fine.
We are protecting Baracks Obama's legacy.
And quite rightly, 50 million people go, hang on a minute.
The majority of American workers earn less than $22 an hour.
What do you mean everything's fine?
Now we find out that 94% of jobs created since 2008 are part-time contract agency, irregular, and usually have no benefits.
And you wonder why people are pissed.
So I don't believe all word mainstream Democrats say.
I couldn't be.
Yeah, I couldn't.
You know, here's what I tell people, and it's even liberal, lefty news people, commentators, and it makes their head explode when I say, well, what do you call a system that takes the richest country the face of the earth has ever seen, the United States, and renders half its population poor or in poverty.
What do you call that system?
That's a failed system.
And that's why we need a revolution, which is what Bernie was calling for.
And they go, where are you getting these facts?
Half the country's poor.
I don't know.
Google it.
So I'll give you a better one.
Not even a better one, but I'll give you one that I like to pull out, right?
So who votes?
Young people or old people?
Old people.
Now, we have to take care of our seniors.
The one thing the Republicans and the Democrats care about, we have to take care of our seniors, right?
What's the poverty rate of seniors in the United States?
It goes from a low of 4% to a high of about 9%.
What's the poverty rate of millennials?
20 to 25%.
What society shorts its young to feed its old?
This one, because they're the ones who vote.
They vote twice as much.
Let me give you my favorite little one just now.
The last thing that Congress did under the old administration that everybody joined together in a big group hug was a thing called the Cancer Moonshot.
And it's a good thing.
Joe Biden's son died of a terrible brain disease, blastoma, and they got together and they found $6.2 billion to fast-track new therapies and do a cancer thing and all the rest of it.
Now, just think about this for a minute, right?
$6.2 billion.
Congress has what's called an offset rule.
And that means unless you're raising new revenues, if you want to spend that money, you've got to take it from somewhere else.
You know where they took it from?
No.
Preventative care.
Now, who gets cancer?
Old people.
Who benefits from preventative care?
Millennials, particularly millennials in poverty.
So as well as all the rest of the stuff that's going on of the rich, the poor, the creditors, the debtor, we've actually got the young eating the old's lunch.
Or sorry, the other way around, the old eating the young's lunch.
And the old are the ones who vote en masse.
And the majority of Trump's supporters were boomers.
You say that democracy is an asset insurance for the rich.
What does that mean?
This one became a hashtag at one point.
The Hamptons is not a defensible position.
So if you go out to East Hampton and Southampton and Northampton or whatever the hell they're called on Long Island, it's where all the hedge fund guys live and the billionaires and all the rest of it, right?
It's very nice, like huge houses, ridiculous.
But it's all low-lying beaches, right?
And it's on a peninsula.
So ultimately, when they come with the pitchforks, there's nowhere to go.
It is not a defensible position.
Democracy is asset insurance because if you pay enough to redistribute from the enormous stack of wealth that you have to stop everybody else picking up the pitchforks, you get to live in the big castle at the end of Long Island.
But if you all start to skimp on the payments and hide it in tax havens and declare every time that somebody wants to raise a tax to be an assault against liberty, then you're asking for it.
That's why democracy is an asset insurance and we've been skimping on the payments.
Well, it doesn't sound good.
I was going to ask you.
So doesn't that, does that kind of trump everything, climate change, in a sense?
Yeah, of course it does.
And that's why we never talk about it or pay attention to it because human brains are just not equipped to deal with this.
It's just on a scale that we can't deal with, right?
Imagine an iceberg moving at 0.003 miles an hour towards the sea.
No, I can't.
That's really hard, right?
Imagine a quadrillion tons of water.
What are you talking about, right?
We just can't deal with that.
And also, the notion that the externalities that we produce by our own actions, consuming, breathing, walking around, doing our stuff, is actually destroying our children's future.
It's just an incredibly hard ask for people to just take that on full boar.
So we're all in denial.
We're like smokers who always pretend that somebody else is the guy who gets cancer.
So we just don't take it seriously.
So to me, it's like, that's a great analogy.
What I say is, you know, we're a bunch of adult children of alcoholics in America.
We don't get mad at the alcoholic or the guy screwing us.
We get mad at the guy who points out that there's a guy screwing us.
Yeah, that's good.
I like that one.
It's a good one, Jimmy.
Definitely.
But, you know, let me give you some optimism on this one because, you know, it's not as bad as it seems.
It doesn't have to be as bad as it seems.
First of all, a lot of these policies are driven basically by the boomer generation.
They're the only generation in human history that's managed to increase its consumption all the way through the life cycle.
They've cut taxes on themselves all the way through their lives.
Now they're terrified of death taxes, death panels, and they're going to spend 20% of GDP trying to live forever in the last six weeks of life.
That's a problem.
Well, you know, society evolves one funeral at a time.
And millennials now outnumber them, but millennials don't vote.
So message number one, millennials out there, stop being silly.
Get out, get organized, and get real with your politics.
Then actually demand change.
Congress won't listen to you because once the other guys are gone, you're the only people left.
It has to happen that way.
Second one, technologically, the only way we're really going to deal with climate change is not through intergovernmental agreements with 200 governments, half of which are going to cheat.
It's got to be technology.
And there are technologies out there and batteries that are coming online.
There's some really amazing stuff whereby now you can basically build a house and you put a roof on it.
It costs exactly the same as a normal roof.
It's entirely solar.
We're a couple of years away from wall-size batteries where you could be 60% off-grid any standard house that you would build.
We just need the investment.
And we need the investment in green tech.
Now, if we don't do it, if we have the climate change government in denial here, then who's going to do this?
It's going to be the Germans.
The Germans have already signed up to something called the Energy Venda, the Energy Change.
They have the Mittelstand, this incredible engineering complex.
They know that if they crack green tech, usable green tech, they will sell it to the rest of the world for 100 years.
And they'll be able to sell it to the Chinese who will take it to scale because their air is already unbreathable.
So that's the axis where it's all going to happen.
And we're going to basically take our heads out of our proverbial backsides eight to 10 years from now and go, oh, shit, turns out all this stuff's real.
Somebody should have done something about it, right?
Kids of Alcoholics response, right?
And at that point, we'll need to buy it from the Chinese and the Germans.
Whereas we could be demanding investment now, getting our companies ahead on us, creating jobs with this, and dealing with the greatest existential threat that's out there.
Yeah, so instead of investing in green energy, I voted for the candidate who had a Green New Deal.
So I feel proud of myself about that because you're saying that that's a great way to get out of this.
I agree.
And we're going to pass it.
We're going to let it go.
And, you know, it's a falling down of the media.
You know, we don't have really an independent news media anymore.
It's owned by the people they're supposed to be investigating.
You know, even MSNBC, which is owned by Comcast, they never tell you.
That company is voted one of the worst companies for workers in the world every year.
And we got a bunch of liberal talking heads taking $30,000 a day not to ever mention that.
Can I give you my favorite Comcast moment?
Sure.
I lived in Baltimore, and it was when they were bringing in high-speed internet, and it totally wasn't high-speed internet.
So I had some guy basically being paid two bucks of a minimum wage who was the technician who was coming out to fix this, who just asked me every time, have you reset your modem?
I'm like, yes, I have, right?
It's a total disaster.
So eventually I canceled the service.
I got a phone call from a woman at Comcast.
She goes, Is there anything that we can do to make you come back to Comcast today?
And I paused for a minute and said, yes, the resignation and ritual suicide of the entire senior management team.
And she started cracking up laughing.
And I'm saying, I'm sorry.
I hope this call isn't being recorded.
She goes, oh, it is.
It'll probably cost me my job, but it's worth it.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah!
*clap clap clap clap* *BEEP* *POP* *POP*
Who in the name of Tudor Salad on Rye is this?
Senator Sanders, it's Jimmy Dore.
Oh, hey, Jimmy, my old supporter.
How are you?
I'm doing well.
Thanks for asking.
You've gotten a little controversial, haven't you?
Well, what are you talking about?
I hear things.
Well, you know, I'm just trying to hold the Democratic Party accountable to progressive ideas.
That's all.
Huh?
Good luck with that one.
If you pull that one off, do me a favor and make me an iPhone with a battery life that's worth a shit.
Yeah, I'll see what I can do.
What have you been up to, Senator?
Well, as you may know, I just did a CNN town haul with that lying gas bag, Ted Cruz.
Oh, that's right.
I saw that.
Yeah, I'm out there trying to make the case for saving Obamacare or salvage what I can of it.
And trying to catch Cruz and all of his bullshit was exhausting.
But I tried my best.
Later, I said, Hey, Jake Tapper, since I'm doing your job, you want me to go to the grocery store for you while I'm at it?
Let me change your oil.
Got any thank you notes you need written?
You shond up.
Hey, there's a lot more to that Bernie Sanders phone call.
Why would I do a bad impression after that?
There's a lot more to that.
You know, there is.
But we don't have time in today's podcast.
I mean, we do, but we put it in the premium.
So that's how you can hear it.
And how do you get the premium?
You go to JimmyDoorComedy.com, click premium.
It's $5 a month.
If you pay for the whole year at once, we give you a month for free.
So it's not even $5.
And it's a great way to support the show.
Hey, our next live Jimmy Door show is February 20th, but that date is already sold out.
And our next one, it's March 4th.
We're doing a 50, it's a small, the improv lab.
So it's going to be an intimate show.
So there's only 50 tickets.
So they're going to go fast.
So go to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
There's a link for tickets right there.
And then I think there's one more date in March.
So go over to there, JimmyDoorComedy.com.
We'd love seeing everybody at the live shows.
Okay, today's show was produced by Mark Van Landuit and written by Ron Placone, Mark Van Landuit, Jim Earle, Robert Gasamura, Mike McRae, and Frank Conniff, and Paul Kozlowski.
All the voices today performed by the one and the only Mike McRae who can be found at mikemcray.com.
That's it for this week.
