Time Text
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hey, Jimbo, it's Rick Perry.
Hey, Secretary Perry, how are you?
Man, I'm as scared as a pole cat on a catapult on a Sunday afternoon.
I ain't gonna lie, man.
Why?
What's wrong?
Climate change.
That's what's wrong, man.
Oh, yeah, climate change.
It's very scary, Rick.
Are you just getting hip to this?
No, actually not.
I've been as hip as Earth, Wind, and Fire to that for a long time.
Thank you very much.
Well, what's this urgency then?
It's Trump, man.
My boss.
Yeah.
He's about to pull out of the Paris Climate Accords.
And he means it, man.
He ain't bluffing.
I've seen it in his beady eyes, Jimbo.
His eyes.
I've seen them.
I have to, Mr. Secretary.
I'm surprised to hear what someone would call climate change alarmism from the likes of you.
Oh, hell, Jimmy.
I'll fess up.
I mean, I can't lie no more.
My daddy taught me to always tell the truth after 25 years of dissembling and obfuscating.
Global warming is real as shit.
And we all know it.
We've always known it.
All us Texas oil assholes have known it for decades.
And it's going to fry this bitch to a crisp if we don't get our took us in gear.
And I mean, Pronto.
Oh, wow.
This climate agreement is the last ditch hope we have to at least mitigate its effects.
The Pentagon knows it.
The energy industry knows it.
Homeland Security knows it.
Even that televangelist lady with the pink hair knows it.
Well, Secretary Perry, why have all these forces, these conservative forces, lied about it for so long?
I mean, we could have been taking steps in the 90s for crying out loud, but global warming was smeared as a hoax or bad science by the likes of you for years.
I don't know.
Politics and making money and shit.
Why?
It's hard, man.
All these juicy plums.
Really?
Just brazen self-interest.
As cynical as I am, even I find that hard to swallow.
I mean, the fate of the planet?
Jimmy, how many miles you got on your car?
I don't know, about 80,000, I think.
Why?
Have you replaced your timing belt yet?
What?
You're supposed to replace your timing belt after about 60,000 miles.
Have you done that?
No.
Why not?
I don't know.
I just haven't gotten around to it.
Also, that's like 300 bucks, I think.
Right, but do you realize that a ruptured timing belt is catastrophic for your car?
Like, if it blows, your whole engine is fucked.
And it will cost way more than $300 to get everything back in order.
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
Well, it's like that.
What?
That's my analogy.
That's why we haven't done anything about global warming.
Are you kidding me?
That's what you think it's like?
Yeah, man.
We just didn't want to deal with it until we had to.
I mean, you understand.
You haven't replaced your timing belt yet.
Yeah, but I'm not going to.
But I'm not going on the news and telling the American people that timing belts are fake and money-making plot concocted by Al Gore.
Well, yeah, that'd be insane, man.
You look crazy if you did that.
That's nuts.
I mean, Al Gore made up timing belts.
Come on, dude.
Look, the point is now we got to get Trump on board with this shit.
Me and Rex Tillerson, former head of Exxon, are trying to grease up his balls over this, but he won't budge because all these other weirdos in his ear, like this Bannon fella, they literally just want to see the world burn.
I guess the way he sees it, he gets to watch Jews die or something.
There's a real psycho-cult of death over in that wing of the offices over there.
Rick, Rick, listen to me.
You have to get him to stay in.
I know, dude.
But he won't focus on shit.
He's preoccupied with Kathy Griffin right now.
He can't think about nothing else.
Good lord.
Seriously.
Yeah, you know, he gets distracted by movies real easily.
So sometimes we let him watch one, and he's all pliable afterwards because he feels all fuzzy and whatnot.
Okay.
So last night, me and Rex were like, okay, we'll let him watch pulp fiction in the screening room.
That's one of his favorites.
That'll let him forget about Kathy Griffin.
And afterwards, maybe me and Rex doll can talk him into preserving the earth.
Good plan.
Yeah, I thought so too.
But guess what?
What?
Kathy Griffin is fucking in pulp fiction.
Did you remember that?
What?
I didn't either.
We're watching with him, and all of a sudden, it's like, goddammit, that red-headed bitch shows up in the street scene, and he gets all pissed off all over again.
Oh, no.
I don't know what the hell to do, man.
We're thinking about getting a hypnotist to sneak into his room while he's sleeping and plant ideas in his head lacking in inception.
Right.
Hold on.
Is Kathy Griffin in Inception?
I don't think so.
Well, I hope not, because the fate of the world depends on Kathy Griffin not being in Inception.
And Rick Perry, bitch.
Okay, great.
Well, I feel very comfortable.
Thanks for calling in, Rick.
Okay, quit looking at your Twitter.
He seemed distracted.
I'm like, oh, I bet he's looking at his Twitter.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...the up-minded, low-libered lefties...
The kind of people that are convinced me on Tearing Down our Nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It starts talking to you, Doug.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Door Show.
How did you enjoy Rick Perry at the Topsky?
I enjoyed Rick Perry at the Topski.
We've got a lot coming up.
First of all, I want to remind everybody, thanks for listening to the podcast.
You know, this is how everything started at the Jimmy Door Show through the podcast, through the radio show slash podcast that started in KPFK Los Angeles.
So thanks to everybody who listens to as a podcast.
Thanks to everybody who makes it out to our live shows, too.
Those are a blast.
Those are fun and funny.
And, you know, people have said to me, oh, Jimmy, you know, the show has changed.
Yeah, well, we used to have four different people on the show every week.
Frank Conniff, David Feldman, Steve Rosenfield, and Robert Yasimura.
And so people have moved on, right?
So the show has changed.
We've gone to more days a week.
And so people complain that I don't put enough jokes in the podcast.
So I hear you, but that's why we're doing live shows.
So we're doing live shows twice a month.
And those are always packed with funny and hilarity.
And so that's, I'm just letting everyone know I hear them, and we're doing our best, and we're going to try and make everybody happy who likes the Jimmy Doer show.
So, June 19th is our next live show.
You want to have some Laffy Laffies come on out.
It's in Burbank, California.
It's June 19th.
That's a Monday night.
We like to do Mondays.
And we'll see you also in San Francisco on July 15th.
That show's just about sold out already.
So people like the live shows.
So I hope you guys can make it out to that.
And thanks again for being a podcast listener.
What's coming up on today's show?
What's coming up on today's show?
Well, we're going to talk about the Washington Post trying to debunk fake news while actually doing more fake news.
We're going to talk about that.
Dave Weigel, Washington Post reporter, I caught him lying on Twitter about the conflicts of interests of his paper and the CIA.
We caught him blatantly lying and gaslighting and being basically a douche.
So we're going to talk about that.
Also, wait till you see the State Department get tongue-tied over why they're okay with Saudi Arabia not having elections, but they're still angry at Iran that actually does have elections.
So wait till you see that.
Plus, John Boehner lets us know that the Republican Party is being torn apart because he says everything Trump has done so far has been a disaster.
So I don't know who said that before the election that Trump would split the Republican Party.
I can't remember who said that, but it looks like it might be coming true.
John Boehner is going to talk about that.
Plus, we got phone calls today.
Bernie Sanders calls in.
And John Boehner, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door show.
Hi, everybody.
So we're going to go through a few things today.
We're going to show you the anatomy of the establishment smear, okay?
So I don't know if you saw this.
This is in the Washington Post.
It was by Dave Weigel, right?
Dave Weigel, our mustachioed friend, Dave Weigel, who wears a fake mustache because he thinks it's funny.
And he writes for the Washington Post.
Now, let's remember: The Washington Post led us into the war.
They're lapdogs of power, just like Chomsky says.
And right now, their owner has a $600 million deal with the fucking CIA.
You think I'm kidding?
That's from the Nation Magazine.
By the way, the Nation Magazine, they took that article down.
So there it is.
So now it's so we know this, right?
So when someone, so they have, so when they're going to start writing stories trying to debunk, trying to debunk fake news, you're going to go to a newspaper that has, their owner has a $600 million deal with the fucking CIA and they don't disclose it.
That's the part.
That's the horrible part.
It's all horrible.
But what's even more horrible is they don't disclose it.
So that's called unethical journalism.
That's the opposite of journalism.
So now what they're doing is lying to you and keeping secrets.
They're supposed to tell you the truth.
So Dave Weigel writes this for the Washington Post.
He's going to debunk fake news, even though he works for a newspaper that's in bed with the CIA, and they've been printing CIA stories without checking them.
So they've been filing false story after false story after false story because they're in bed with the CIA and they print stories about, hey, Russia hacked our power grid in Vermont.
Totally fake story.
And they printed it.
And it's still at their news.
You go there, it's still there.
Totally made up story.
Fed to the Washington Post from the CIA.
They printed it uncritically.
And they said it was anonymous sources.
Did you know the Washington Post didn't even call the electric company in Vermont?
They didn't even call the public utility.
They didn't call anybody to check the story.
They just fucking printed it.
And it's still there.
So just so you know, so we all know this: that they're in bed with a $600 million deal with the CIA.
Although, if you bring it up to their reporter, the guy who's trying to fucking debunk fake news, if you bring that up to the reporter who's trying to debunk Bray, which is what happened.
There he is.
That's Dave Weigel.
And then someone brought it up, this guy, Rush G. Lewis.
He says, Hey, Washington Post made a $600 million deal with the CIA, and this guy is telling us we should believe him.
And he links to a story from a website called HangtheBankers.com, which I like.
That sounds like a good website.
So Dave Weigel, who's the, I don't know if he's the lead political reporter for the Washington Post.
I'm pretty sure he is.
So instead of doing the ethical thing and saying, yes, we know that and we should disclose it editorially, but it doesn't affect me.
You know, he could say a lie like that, that it doesn't affect me.
Of course it does.
You know, that a guy has a deal.
The owner of your paper has a deal with the deep state for three times what your own freaking newspaper's worth.
And you work for the establishment and your paper beats the drum for war every time there's a war.
Of course it affects you.
You fucking now who's being naive, Kay?
So instead of copying to it, Dave Weigel lies in public about this.
He lies to this guy who brings it up.
So now if Dave Weigel had a shred of ethics and integrity, if he had a shred, he would go, yeah, you're right.
Because by the way, because this is just a regular person, this Rush G. Lewis, he doesn't have a blue check.
Rush G. Lewis is not a big shot.
So Dave Weigel doesn't have to treat him with any respect, and he doesn't.
So the guy's telling the truth to Dave Weigel.
Dave Weigel, instead of being a guy with integrity and character and admitting it and going, you got me.
Yeah, that's a problem.
He tries to gaslight the guy and smear the source.
That's what they do.
They smear the source, just like Dave Weigel smeared me, just like we're going to get to how they're smearing Greg Greenwald.
Well, quick side note, Jimmy, in the rules of argumentation, whenever somebody's first rebuttal is against a source, typically, I mean, of course, there's always exceptions, but typically that's because they got caught.
Yeah, he got caught.
So Dave Weigel got caught.
And what they've revealed is that he's willing to knee-jerk lie in public.
It also reveals he doesn't have much character, and he's a guard dog of the establishment.
He works for a paper that beats the war for Drum for War every freaking time.
So, and then he just blatantly tries to dismiss this guy, gaslight him, which is the equivalent of lying, and then he smears the source.
That's what the reporter from the Washington Post, who's the guy who's supposed to be debunking fake news, this is how he handles it when someone confronts him with the truth about his newspaper.
That's how he handled it.
Just so you know, that's how Dave Weigel handled it.
His knee-jerk is to lie.
We showed another video that his knee-jerk was to lie.
He was on a radio interview, and he got caught lying.
The guy, he fell asleep, and the guy said, Did you hear my question?
He just lied.
So, Dave's knee-jerk is to lie.
That's what that is.
Tell me that isn't one of the biggest douche moves you've ever seen by a freaking reporter.
Dave has a lot of power.
He has a column in the Washington Post, the political paper of note, and he has over 300,000 Twitter followers.
He has a lot of power.
He's been given by the establishment.
And how does he use it?
He's always respectful to the establishment, But he shits on anybody who actually tells the truth about the corruption inside of his own newspaper.
He lies, gaslights, and then it gets better.
So then the guy went, by the way, he's like, oh, well, I can hardly brush aside the reporting of hangthebankers.com.
That's what he said.
So that's gaslighting, smearing.
Those are another term for that as lying.
That's because that's the lead reporter for the Washington Post.
Now, I don't know.
You tell me, does that guy have character?
Is that the guy you want to be debunking fake news?
Is that the guy you want?
That's not the guy I want debunking fake news.
I can't take hangthebankers.com seriously.
It just sounds too depressing, man.
I write for the Washington Post, where democracy dies in darkness.
Where democracy dies in darkness, and we think that Edward Snowden should be in prison.
That's the Washington Post.
That's another story.
But getting back to this, so he's smearing, he's going to smear the guy's source because Dave Weigel knows that they're scrubbing that story from the internet because this story here, that's not at that nation anymore.
I'm sorry.
That story is not at the nation anymore.
That's from the internet wayback machine.
They now have scrubbed that article.
So it's hard to find sources for this information about the $600 million deal with the CIA and the Post, meaning Jeff Bezos.
There he is lying about it, gaslighting and smearing the source.
This is the guy who they have debunking fake news.
This is the guy.
And then when he went and got another source, Russ G. Lewis, he does this.
I don't know if you can see that.
He says, this is what Russ says.
He says, here you go, Mr. Professional Reporter, that apparently knows nothing about his own newspaper.
And he links to zerohedge.com and it says the CIA, Washington Post, and Russia.
What you're not being told.
So then Dave decides to stop lying, to stop smearing, and to stop gaslighting this guy who's just pointing out a fact about the conflict of interest inside the paper of note that all media critics say they should disclose when they write about the CIA foreign policy, the deep state WikiLeaks.
They don't do it because they're unethical and they're in bed with the CIA.
That's why they don't do it.
And Dave Weigel is not allowed to put an editor's note next to that says that my paper's in bed with the CIA.
He's not allowed to when he's writing attack pieces for the establishment.
That's what this is.
Now, why do I say it's an attack piece for the establishment about the Seth Rich?
Because he attacked me in it and he attacks other people.
He smears them, right?
He smears them.
By the way, last people in the world to be debunking fake news is the Washington Post.
You're in bed with the CIA.
This story is about WikiLeaks and the CIA and everything else.
And you don't disclose it.
That just shows right on its face that you guys are lying and unethical.
Dave Weigel, top of the heap.
Ron, what do you think about that?
So, oh, by his response when he went and got the extra, when he went and got the extra source, Dave Weigel's response was, it was Bezos, not the Post.
Now go away.
It was just our head guy, not the newspaper itself.
So, Dave, are you telling me that Rupert Murdoch's intra-business interests don't have any.
So you're telling me that RT, the Russia today, you don't call that propaganda, do you, Dave?
Because it's owned by Russia.
But your paper, which is really owned by the CIA, you're in bed with the CIA, three times what your paper is worth.
That's not a conflict of interest.
And when someone brings it up, you should, like a true douchebag, that's a guy who treats people differently, right?
A gentleman treats everyone equally.
Dave Weigel treats people beneath him shittily.
He doesn't treat people above him.
He doesn't speak truth to power.
He shits on people below him.
That's what just happened.
I'm not making it up.
I'm just reporting it.
Right?
Yeah, I mean, and yeah, I like his logic.
It's like, well, it's a guy.
It's the guy that runs things.
It's just the guy who runs everything.
Newspapers can't spend money, dummy.
Huh?
Well, you know what, Jimmy?
I just want to add, you know, when I, every time, you know, you know, when I see that the Washington Post, their mantra is democracy dies in darkness.
To me, I think, well, it also dies in print on your paper.
There is no democracy.
And it made me think about Edward Kennedy.
He said, integrity is the lifeblood of democracy.
Deceit poisons it in its veins.
And that's how can you take any of these newspapers seriously when they got us into war?
Yeah, so, and not a little bit that the Washington Post.
The Washington Post literally said, if you don't think they have weapons of mass destruction, you're crazy.
They didn't say that.
They said it is hard to believe how anyone could doubt that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction and that they're in bed with the al-Qaeda.
That's what the Washington Post said.
I knew that was bullshit.
Ron knew that was bullshit.
The million people in the streets knew that was bullshit.
You watching the show knew, you know who didn't know that was bullshit?
The Washington Post editorial board.
Except they did know it was bullshit and they printed it anyway because they're lapdogs of power and they always beat the drum for war.
Every newspaper does that, just so you know.
And now you're going to take the Washington Post.
So why do I keep bringing this up?
Because here, so back to Dave Weigel's article.
It's hilarious that Dave Weigel, a proven liar about fucking important stuff that has to do with this story, is now the guy in charge of writing.
And this is, by the way, he's been assigned this by his bosses to go now.
He went from being a watchdog of the establishment to being a guard dog of the establishment.
Now he's an attack dog for the establishment.
Just so you know, that's how it works.
There's a video we showed in another video that proves that this is how this works.
They've done academic studies.
Okay.
So here's, just to show you right off the top of this article, this is what he says about the WikiLeaks.
You know, we all know the WikiLeaks emails revealed that the DNC was cheating Bernie Sanders.
And so we've showed you how Noam Chomsky said Bernie Sanders would have won if it wasn't for the party leaders cheating him.
That's Noam Chomsky said that.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign after those WikiLeaks proved that she was not neutral and that every time she went on TV, she was lying about that.
So those WikiLeaks emails had a big effect, right?
And now those WikiLeaks emails even got the DNC to reveal, to admit in court that they don't have to run a fair primary.
Now they're telling people who are donating to them, we don't have to run a fair primary.
In open court, they said that.
So now guess what?
Donations are down to the DNC.
So there's a big effect from the WikiLeaks.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign.
Donna Brazil lost her job.
Was that because of the WikiLeaks?
They caught her cheating down at Brazil lying.
I forget how they exactly caught Don Brazil, the head of the DNC.
Yeah, that's the CNN question.
Yeah, was that revealed in the WikiLeaks?
How did that get revealed?
I know what she did.
But anyway, the Wikileaks revealed Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign.
We all know that they were cheating Bernie now.
That's the whole thing.
So there was a big, but the establishment talking point, the Democrats say, Oh, there was nothing in those emails anyway.
But then they say Hillary Clinton lost the election because of those emails.
You can't have it both ways, except they do because they're the establishment and they gaslight you.
Just like when they say, we can't have single payer, it's too expensive.
They're gaslighting you, okay?
Hacked emails from Wikileaks showed that Donna Brazil had gotten the questions from.
So the WikiLeaks email showed that Donna Brazil was also a cheater and a liar.
She lost her job at CNN.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign as chairman of the chairperson of the party.
And it revealed that they were cheating, that they don't run their primaries fair, and that Debbie Wasserman Schultz was a rock-bottom, all-day-long 24-7 liar to her own people, half her own party.
So it revealed a lot.
Here's what Dave Weigel says.
Dave Weigel literally, in this article that is supposed to debunk fake news, he literally prints a talking point from the Democrats.
And he says, the most effective conspiracy theories target both the left and alt-right.
So he had to include me because he wanted to show how it's both.
So that's why he included me in this, even though he doesn't inaccurately and unethically, because we've already proven to you Dave Weigel is unethical, and his knee jerk is to lie even publicly.
So, and that's maybe the mustache is getting tickles him.
And here's what he writes: What's often forgotten about the DNC hack is how banal the emails were.
That's a talking point that someone told Dave, his boss told him he had to put in this article.
That's what that is.
Dave Weigel, do you think Dave Weigel thought that up himself?
He didn't think that he was told to put that in the article.
And if he wasn't told to put that in the article and he put that in the article anyway, that's worse.
That's fucking worse.
This guy's a big shot reporter.
People don't think he's an idiot.
By the way, just so you know, Dave Weigel was a Republican up until Trump.
So he was cool with Sarah Palin.
He's cool.
He's cool with Huckabee.
He's cool with John McCain.
He's cool with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
He's cool.
He has all the information you have, and he was a Republican, and he's a reporter.
Those things don't go together.
You can't be okay with the status quo and then call yourself a reporter.
But that's Dave Weigel.
So just so you know.
And so if he wasn't told to print that and he printed it anyway, that's worse.
So he was told to print that and he printed it.
Again, if he didn't, there's a good chance that he wasn't told.
I mean, there's a chance.
But if he wasn't and he printed that, god damn it, is that guy?
Wow.
You know.
That's shitty writing.
Now, Dave Weigel's not a great writer.
I mean, as far as writing where you're entertained by it, if you want to see good writing, read my book.
So I'll put my book and my writing up against this stuff any day.
So here's this, just to show you why this is a talking point and why Dave Weigel, if he had any character, would be embarrassed that he wrote that in a fucking newspaper article for the Washington Post.
Here's a guy, here's a regular person on CBS News responding to the banal WikiLeaks emails.
You want to see what a regular person thinks?
Not an inside-the-belt way, fucking out-of-touch mouthpiece for the establishment like Washington Post reporter Dave Weigel.
You want to see what a regular person thinks about those banal emails?
Here's what a regular person thinks of, you know, a voter.
I've been a Democrat all my life.
I think the Democrats not only are they out of touch, they have no interest in correcting the situation.
They're not doing any post-mortems.
They're writing off, well, we don't know in the White House because of Putin or because of WikiLeaks.
What did Wikileaks tell us, by the way?
Regardless of who was behind it, they confirmed that Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment are liars and that they had their thumb on the scale for Hillary Clinton.
Well, you know, so what are they basically saying?
If we hadn't been caught lying, we'd be running the country right now.
But if you remember, super duper reporter for the establishment, attack dog for the establishment, Dave Weigel, he said those banal, the emails were banal.
Except this guy says except this guy who's been a Democrat all his life says they revealed that the Democrats are liars and that they would be running the country if they didn't get caught being liars.
But super duper reporter Dave Weigel is told to write a different story.
So he prints fucking DNC talking points literally in his newspaper that's supposed to be debunking a fake.
So I'm not saying you shouldn't debunk a false story.
They don't do it, but they're the last people in the world, the Washington Post and Dave Weigel, who I myself have caught lying about his own paper in public.
And that was just accidental.
I'm sure if somebody was actually tried to catch him, I bet he's doing it all day.
He doesn't have, he doesn't, he does, he really doesn't have ethics or else he would tell people in that article that the owner of his paper is had a deal with the CIA.
And that's what you're supposed to do ethically.
And that's not me talking.
That's the people who are watchdogs of media.
That's fair that said that.
Can I add something about Donna Brazil?
Yeah.
Okay, so I'm reading CNN Money, okay?
And it says in a telephone interview with CNN Money on Tuesday, Brazil said she was choosing not to view any of the emails stolen by WikiLeaks.
This is exactly what the Russians intended to do, and they're doing it, she said.
Brazil emphasized in that interview, I had no access to any questions for any debate of town hall.
Oh, and she lied.
We're not going to look at the emails, but we can tell you most of them are fake.
So she lies.
So there's Donna Brazil lying.
So they're lying all over.
So Dave Weigel puts talking points in.
He lies on Twitter about the connection between, and then he writes this story, which he shouldn't be doing.
That's unethical, without putting a note.
And he should have put a note.
By the way, I've been caught lying about this editor's note, which he didn't.
Now, I know Dave Weigel personally, and I was shocked to see that he was that kind of a person.
Like, just like that.
Like, I knew he was a Republican, so that tells you that he wants to be a reporter, but he's Republican.
Why would you want to be a fucking reporter if you're a Republican?
You're cool with the status quo.
So that's Dave Weigel, just so you know, that's who he is.
And he went to Northwest and he grew up coddled, what have you.
I just want to spread the word that everything's going great.
Just want to spread the word.
You're a reporter.
So get this.
So here he goes back to more of the establishment narrative about Bernie Sanders supporters.
So this is the long article.
I'm just picking out a couple of different spots.
He writes, the Seth Rich conspiracy thrived not just because fringe conservatives like the idea of a break in the Clinton body count theory, but that the idea that someone would murder a leaker to cover up a conspiracy against Bernie Sanders would justify so much angst.
So what he's saying is Bernie Sanders supporters want this to be true because it would, oh, we're so upset.
We're so angry and jilted Bernie supporters.
So, again, that's that punch a hippie.
You're punchy's punching left.
See, these guys are crazy.
They're the crazed Bernie Sanders people.
By the way, Dave Weigel shits on Bernie Sanders on a daily basis on fucking Twitter.
I could show you those tweets too.
He shits on Bernie.
He shits on the Bernie supporters.
That's who Dave Weigel is.
He's a reporter who shits on progressives, just so you know.
That's who he is.
Total establishment to the hilt, baby.
That's a Washington Post reporter, Dave Waggle, and he's writing this.
Music by Ben Thede.
Hey, everybody.
I'm here to let you know about how I shave.
Are you interested?
I use the Dollar Shave Club shaver, and it is fantastic.
I want to tell you the thing I like about it the most.
This is, I've actually caught myself telling other people this in regular conversation, is that they have such a nice handle.
It is, of all the razors I've ever used, the Dollar Shave Club handle.
It's got that heavy, solid feel, like it's made of a real, it's not plastic, and it feels like a substantial razor.
It's got heft.
I know this, I don't, if you shave, I think you'll know why this is important.
And it just, it feels like you're using a real, it is, you are using a real thing.
It's, it's, I can't, it's hard to explain, but you'll, if you get the Dollar Shave Club razor, you'll know exactly what I mean.
And it is the smarter choice.
Do you want to go stand in a some kind of drugstore in front of a locked case?
You got to call the guy.
That's why I started going through Dollar Shave Club because it comes right in the mail and it's just a couple of bucks a month and they send you the blades.
By the way, here's a deal.
So if you want to get your razor blades, your razors and blades through the mail for a limited time, new members for the Dollar Shave Club, you can get your first month of the executive razor with a tube of Dr. Carver's shave butter.
Have you had that?
For only $5, and that comes with free shipping.
After that, raises just a few bucks a month.
It's really quite a deal.
I love the Dollar Shave Club.
And it's just every month, there's your razors.
There's the great handle.
And by the way, that's a $15 value and you get it for $5.
You get the executive razor with a tube of Dr. Carver's shave butter.
And guess what?
In your first month's box, you're going to get an awesome weighty handle, a full cassette of four cartridges, and a tube of their shave butter.
That's what I mean.
This weighty handle.
You'll know what I mean once you pick it up.
You're like, oh, that's a nice handle.
After your first month, replacement cartridges ship automatically at their regular price, and there's no hidden fees, no commitments.
You can cancel any time.
Isn't that great?

Go to dollarshaveclub.com slash Jimmy.
You got to do the slash Jimmy.
Okay, thanks for supporting the show.
Hello, who is this?
It's Jimmy, Jimmy Door Bernie.
Well, this is Bernie Sanders.
And I've got a thing or two to say about a few things, if I may.
All right, go ahead, Bernie.
Please don't interrupt.
Do you ever wonder why I gesticulate so forcefully with my arms?
To draw attention to an important point you're trying to make.
Wrong.
It's because as a young boy, I witnessed my parents murdered by a small-time criminal.
From that day on, I swore to combat injustice.
For months on end, I trained to the peak of physical excellence.
But even with that, I knew I need something more if I were to become successful in my newfound endeavor.
Then one night, a bat, a bat, mind you, flew through my open window.
Naturally, I was inspired to take on the persona of that bat.
And ever since, ever since then, when faced with the hypocrisy of staggering wealth inequality, I flapped my arms to strike terror into the hearts of all those who speak against single payer and free college.
Wow, is that true?
No, I did a lot of asshit in the 60s.
Senator Sanders, did you see Hillary Clinton's interview at the prestigious Recode conference?
I most certainly did not.
And what the fuck is a recode conference?
The Imitation Only Code Conference brings together a global community of the biggest names in business.
Executive leaders and startups with bright futures for networking and in-depth conversations about the current and future impact of digital technology.
What a load of shit.
Speaking of networking, did Hillary give any tips on how to properly use your goddamn email server?
No, but she did talk about the election.
She said, quote, I was the victim of a very broad assumption that I was going to win.
That's funny.
Because I thought I was the victim of a very broad assumption that she was going to win.
She also said she was the victim of the DNC giving her an inferior data infrastructure.
What in the same hell is that supposed to be?
And if you think I'm waving my arms around like a bat right now, you're damn right.
I think it means she's still blaming anyone and anything else but herself.
She also said she gave those Wall Street speeches right before running for president because, quote, they paid me.
Fuck.
Are you all right, Bernie?
Don't worry about me.
I just jammed my arm into the ceiling fan again.
Happens all the time.
This really crisps my bacon.
God forbid, those stuck-up freaks at Recold invite me over to Rensel's Paulo Spare Days for some straight talk about networking and digital technology.
What would you tell them?
I tell them to do something about that Adobe updater thing.
It's annoying.
Ha!
To think in this day and age, in the richest country on earth, the average citizen still has to deal with those annoying pop-ups telling them to update their Adobe reader.
Why do we have to still save everything as a PDF file?
Are there no other choices?
As you know, I grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, in a three-and-a-half-room rent control department, and we never had a whole lot of money.
But we did have one thing most people don't have now.
The freedom to open up the assembly instructions for your IKEA wardrobe without being told by some faceless bureaucrat to activate the Adobe updater.
These are the questions and issues facing America today, along with the complete annihilation of our species.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go find my fingers and pack them in ice.
Hehehehehe.
Hehehehehe.
Clack, clack, clack, clack.
Clack.
Thank you.
you you So now here's where he includes me.
He says briefly before Wheeler, that's the guy who was hired.
There was a DC Cop, ex-DC cop, hired by Seth Rich's father to investigate the murder.
That guy started talking one day.
The guy who was hired by Seth Rich's family, he started talking.
So we covered that he was talking.
But apparently, you can't do that because they're going to smear you because I'm a progressive.
So here's what he did.
So here's what he said.
He said briefly before Wheeler, that's the investigator, recanted his story, which we also covered.
So we covered when he first made the allegations that he knew about emails from Seth Rich.
We covered that.
And then we covered when he recanted.
That's like you're supposed to do.
And our timeline was totally on board, too.
Like there was no overlap either.
No, it was like Monday, Tuesday.
Bam, bam.
Timeline was we covered it, bam, bam.
The next day he recanted.
We covered it.
But here's, listen to the mealy.
So he puts me in the middle of, so he's naming all these other outlets that are really, you know, beyond the pale outlets that he's smearing me with, right?
Trying to say, look, Jimmy Doer's in with these alt-right crazies.
And then he puts me in there with my video, and he says, Jimmy, before Wheeler recanted his story, the Young Turks Network's Jimmy Doer show chewed over the revelation that Rich was in contact with WikiLeaks.
Chewed over.
So that's mealy mouth, so I can't sue him.
But what he's doing is he's putting me in the middle of that fucking article about fake news and Seth Rich and pretending that I was misreporting it.
That's what that is.
I can't sue him because he says chewed over.
And that's a mealy mouth word that a guy without any character, ethics, or standards would use to smear me, which he did.
And by the way, it's okay because this only elevates me.
I still get angry about it, but I remind myself it's ultimately good for me.
And that's why I'm able to be happy now, even if I could be angry at another time.
So that's what he said.
And by the way, he's not telling you that he's compromised.
He's not telling you that he's lied in public about his paper's connection with the CIA.
And he's fucking reporting on this without telling you that.
And that means he's unethical.
But he won't have to pay a price because he's lying at the behest of the establishment.
And what he's doing is he's being an attack dog for the establishment.
Newspaper people, journalists are supposed to be the watchdogs of the establishment.
But now we all know that they're the guard dogs of the establishment.
And that's why the Washington Post ran 16 negative stories on Bernie Sanders in 16 hours.
So now they become the attack dogs of the establishment.
And they're still doing it.
And they're doing it with unethical guys with no character like Dave Weigel, who's willing to knee-jerkly lie in public about his conflicts of interest.
And then when he writes a story that includes WikiLeaks, he doesn't put an editor's note like he's supposed to do ethically.
And if you call him on it, he'll lie to you, gaslight you, and smear your source.
And why are they attack dogs for the establishment so that later on they can be lapdogs for the establishment?
They like that access.
So he puts my video in this story.
He puts my video in the middle of this big story about Seth Rich's fake news story, even though I covered it correctly.
And he says I chewed over it.
So he's smearing me.
He's putting me in there, right?
Because he's got to get a Bernie bro in there.
He's got to get a Bernie supporter in this story.
And I knew people would try to smear me because I covered it.
And so to counteract that, I put this in there.
If you go to the video, my pinned tweet says, for those of you who comment before watching the video, and I put a timestamp, 1818 in there.
Where is it?
It's at the end.
1818.
I put it right there.
And if you click that, just click that, it goes right to 18 minutes and 18 seconds of my Seth Rich video.
And what does it play?
This is what it plays.
So there you go.
That's the big story everybody's talking about.
And it certainly is interesting to me.
I would, you know, I reserve judgment on everything until we see evidence.
It would be nice to see evidence.
Wish the news cycle felt the same about Russia.
I really wish the news cycle felt the same about Russia.
So Dave Weigel, instead of saying I chewed over it, he could have said Jimmy Doer covered that story in real time and concluded he's waiting for evidence.
Concluded that he thinks we should wait for evidence and no one should draw conclusions from this story yet, even though the guy who's talking is the investigator hired by the family.
Well, quick side note, Jimmy, the other reason that that comment was put there was because when that clip went live within three minutes, it was a 24-minute clip.
Within three minutes, people were making comments like, oh, this is a conspiracy.
Well, hang on.
See what we say about it.
We're saying that it's happening and that we're waiting for evidence.
We're watching something unfold.
We're addressing fishy things on all sides of the aisle.
Just watch what we have to say before you jump to a conclusion.
Yeah, we're covering a news story as it unfolds.
But we concluded that we're waiting for evidence.
And then what do we also conclude?
That we actually are having a higher standard than the Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, and their standard of covering the Russia story because we're actually waiting for evidence to draw a conclusion, unlike them.
So not only that, but we were saying we have a higher level of proof for our news show.
Our shitty fucking YouTube news show has a higher standards than the Washington Post.
By the way, I won't lie about my conflicts of interest if you ask me about them on Twitter because I have integrity and I have character.
Unlike the fucking establishment whores at the Washington Post and Dave Weigel.
you you So just so you know, Saudi Arabia is a sponsor of terror.
They're an oppressive theocracy.
They chop people's heads off in the street and they don't let women drive.
They're the worst, right?
They throw homosexuals off buildings.
What have you?
We're in bed with them.
Why?
Because of the petrodollar.
And you'll never ever hear about that in mainstream news because it's impolite because it reveals that everything we are doing and killing people all around the world and our pretend war on terror is all about money and that we're just really craven, unbelievably unbelievably craven, empty killers for natural resources in other people's countries.
But why are we in bed with Saudi Arabia?
Well, because I just told you the petrodollar, right?
So nobody ever talks about that.
The petrodollar is that they've agreed Saudi Arabia to monetize oil in U.S. dollars, greenbacks, maybe.
And then for that, we promise they can use our military anywhere.
That's why we went into Kuwait.
That's why we liberated Kuwait.
That's why we did the Iraq war.
That's why we're in Syria.
That's why we're in Afghanistan.
That's why this is all happening.
Libya, same thing.
So here is Stuart Jones.
He's a high-ranking official at the current State Department, and he was asked to ask about this today.
Let's watch this.
Well, you were over there.
The secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections on Iran's record of democracy.
He did so standing next to Saudi officials.
So he's saying, the reporter is saying, you know, when you were over on your trip in the Middle East, you criticized the Iranians, but you're standing right next to the Saudis.
How do you characterize Saudi Arabia's commitment to democracy?
And does the administration believe that democracy is a buffer or barrier against extremism?
So we know that they don't precise.
So Iran has elections.
That's what he's saying.
Hey, Iran has elections.
How come Saudi Arabia doesn't have elections?
That's what he's saying.
What is the barrier?
Let's want to listen to it again.
I do.
Well, you were over there.
The secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections.
And Iran's.
So while you were over there, the secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections.
Turns out they don't have elections in Saudi Arabia.
It's a dictatorship.
That's who we're in bed with.
Let's remember what happened with Iran.
Iran was a democracy in the 50s.
The CIA does not like democracies because you can't control them to give us their natural resources.
So we overthrew their democratically elected president who wanted to spread democracy in the Middle East.
We overthrew Mossadegh.
The CIA did.
They overthrew foreign government and installed a puppet called the Shah so we could get their oil baby and all that stuff.
Shah was completely oppressive to his elite, to his people.
They didn't like.
That's what gave us the Ayatollah Khomeini.
So they overthrew him.
They knew he was a puppet of the United States who had overthrown their government before.
And that's how we got the Shah.
And that's how we have the Iran today, which is considered an enemy of the United States only because we overthrew their freaking government.
So that's how you know we got there in Iran.
That's how Iran is our enemy.
And Saudi Arabia is our friend, even though they sponsor terrorism and their horribly oppressive regime or theocracy.
The reason why is because they're petrodollar, baby.
Petro dollar.
Okay?
So this is all about money.
So here's the question.
Here we go.
Well, you were over there.
The secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections and Iran's record on democracy.
He did so standing next to Saudi officials.
How do you characterize Saudi Arabia's commitment to democracy?
And does the administration believe that democracy is a buffer or barrier against extremism?
Do you think that democracy is a barrier against extremism?
Do you think that if you have democracies in a country, that'll help?
That'll put a barrier between extremism and regular people?
That's what they're saying.
Isn't democracy a good antidote for extremism?
That's what he's saying.
And so why would you criticize Iran standing next to a theocracy who doesn't even have elections in Saudi Arabia?
We all know why.
Watch how this guy has to pause before he can give you a straight answer, because he can't say the petrodollar, because that's the answer.
Tough answer.
Tough question when you can't say the real answer.
Tough question when you can't say the real answer.
Which is the petrol dollar, which Rachel Maddow won't tell you.
Chris Hayes won't tell you.
They won't tell you at CNN.
The Washington Post won't tell you for sure because they're in bed with the CIA and they like this stuff.
And the New York Times certainly won't tell you.
He has the biggest why me look on his face right now.
He's like, why did I have to get that one?
Somebody else should have gotten that.
This looks like Martin Short playing a character on Saturday Night Live.
Yeah.
That's what this looks like to me.
All right.
So I'm going to back it up and we'll watch it again.
Well, you were over there.
The secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections and Iran's record on democracy.
He did so standing next to Saudi officials.
How do you characterize Saudi Arabia's commitment to democracy?
does the administration believe that democracy is a buffer or barrier against extremism um um um Oh, my God.
I want a turkey sandwich.
I think what we say is that at this meeting, we were able to make significant progress with Saudi and GCC partners in both making a strong statement against extremism and also.
The Saudis are extremists, baby.
What are you talking about?
They are the extremists, baby.
16 of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia.
Osama bin Laden's from Saudi Arabia.
Maybe they behead people.
They are the extremists.
They're dropping cluster bombs on fishing villages in Yemen right now, baby.
That's a war crime with the bubble.
And also putting in place certain measures through this GCC mechanism where we can combat extremism.
Clearly, one source of extremism, one sword, one terrorism threat is coming from Iran.
And that's coming from a part of the Iranian apparatus that is not at all responsive to its electorate.
Okay, thanks.
Ha-ha!
Ha-ha-ha-ha!
They let him go.
And that was that.
So he's saying, he tried to just say that Iran is exporting terrorism and it's coming from the part of the government that's not elected.
Steph, you're a teacher.
At what point would you have said to that guy, sit down?
Clearly, you didn't do last night's reading.
I kept thinking that the video was stopped, right?
Yes.
It's not stopped.
Let's play it again.
It's stopped.
You were over there.
The secretary criticized the conduct of the Iranian elections and Iran's record on democracy.
He did so standing next to Saudi officials.
How do you characterize Saudi Arabia's commitment to democracy?
Does the administration believe that democracy is a buffer, a barrier against extremism?
Thank you.
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
I think what we'd say is that at this meeting.
So they're going to play that on CNN.
They're not going to tell you why it's actually funny.
Because he can't tell the truth.
Which is the petrol dollar, baby.
And Saudi Arabia is an impressive regime that Barack Obama sold hundreds over $100 billion in weapons.
Why?
So they could spread terrorism and kill poor people in Yemen to take their natural resources.
There you go.
That is Stuart Jones from the State Department.
So if you come here, you know why he had to pause like that.
If you watch this video on MSNBC, CNN, or anyplace else, you won't know why.
They'll just say it's funny because he's incompetent.
That's what they'll say.
They won't tell you about the petrol dollar or how Saudi Arabia is.
They're the actual terrorists.
They won't tell you that we overthrew the Democratically elected government of Iran.
And then we installed a puppet called the Shah, which was oppressive.
And then the people overthrew him.
And that's how we got the Ayatollah Comany.
And you know, the people at Iran don't hate America.
They hate our government for screwing with their country.
They had democracy.
We got rid of it for them.
That's what we do, baby.
We invade countries.
And then at the behest of corporations, we overthrow their governments and we steal their resources.
And we kill the indigenous people to get it.
That's what we do.
You know how I know we do that?
Because we've always done it.
Read General Smedley Butler.
Read that Confessions of an Economic Hitman.
Read Noam Chomsky.
Read anything.
Watch.
But.
Read something, except for that dude's transcript.
Except for that, dude, transcribes.
And by the way, or the mainstream newspaper.
But believe me, they will not report that.
They're just going to make fun of it.
They're not going to report it.
Why he had to pause like that.
And that's why people get their news from YouTube.
Hi, everybody.
I'm here with the Miserable Liberal, and Mike Woods is here.
He's a former police officer from Baltimore.
And I'm here with Ron Placone.
He's also here.
Howdy, Howdy.
And so I wanted to tell you, we were talking before the election.
People were so afraid that they thought Donald Trump was going to be the next Hitler, right?
And so if you remember, what I said was if Hillary Clinton becomes president, it will be worse for this country because in 2018, the already Republican Senate and House would be even further Republican and Senate.
And the same thing with the state houses.
And people are worried about them having a constitutional convention.
Now, the conservatives, think about that.
And then in four years, we get someone who is worse than Trump with a bigger majority.
So people, when they think about elections, they only think about one.
You don't think Hillary, you think Hillary would have been worse than Trump.
It's not just one election, knucklehead.
We didn't just get to this point.
We weren't dropped into 2016 out of the sky.
There were elections every four years, there's an election, every two years.
So the reason why we were stuck with Hillary Clinton and Donna Tonahans is because of a shit system and because of the way we've been voting for the lesser of two evil.
And what I said was, if the Democrats play it smart, they'll dodge a bullet with Donny Tanahan's because he's a huge incompetent.
He's easy to beat in 2024.
And then you could take over the House and the Senate in 2018 because of how horrible he is.
But you've got to make sure you stick Trump to the Republicans.
And the Hillary Clinton campaign was not doing that.
They were trying to separate Trump from the rest of the Republicans.
They're still doing it, the Democrats.
Oh, I wish I had George Bush back.
Stuff like that.
That is a mistake.
You got to stick that the Republicans are all like Trump.
Because I said it's going to destroy the Republican Party if Trump becomes president.
I wasn't the first one to say this.
I saw the editor of BuzzFeed say it on MSNBC with Chris Hayes.
They all agreed.
They all agreed that Trump would split the Republican Party.
They said it.
I agreed with it.
So, and it's happening.
And Trump's at the lowest, his approval rating, it couldn't be lower.
And he's taking the Republicans right down with him.
Everything he tries to do, people hate.
Okay?
So why do I bring this up?
Here's more of the same.
Here's John Boehner says Trump's presidency has been mostly a disaster.
Sounds like the Republicans are coming together, huh?
Or does it sound like exactly what I said would happen if the Democrats would stop trying to stop it from happening, which is Trump taking the Republicans down with him and splitting the party.
So here's what this course in this article.
They say, he generally gave a grim assessment of the president's first few months in office according to energy publication Rig Zone.
Rig Zone.
It's called Rig Zone.
Do you really want a publication called Rig Zone?
I don't think I'm getting a fair shake.
Who are you doing business with?
Rig Zone?
Everything else he's done in office has been a complete disaster.
This is John Boehner, the former speaker.
He was the speaker up until last fall for the Republicans.
He was the leader of the Republicans in the House.
This is what he's saying today.
Everything Trump has done in office has been a complete disaster.
We'll be right back.
Hey, it's retired Speaker of the House, John Boehner, on the line.
Boehner here.
John Andrew Boehner.
J to the A to the B. Hardcore conservative by day.
Party and change smoke and wino by night.
Hey, Jimmy, remember when I was the orange one?
Yeah.
Speaker Boehner, what have you been doing with yourself?
Boehner has been busy working for Reynolds American Tobacco, that's what.
Yeah.
They make my favorite and soon to be yours Camel Ultra Lights.
A nice full-bodied smoke.
Now comes some cherry and patchouli favors for the youngsters out there.
It's a robust blend of Turkish leaves and I'll really put you in a chokehold and kick you dead.
