Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Looks like we got Chris Christie on the phone.
Hello.
Yo, Jimmy D. How's Southern Treaty, you big bats?
I've been over here at my beach estate soaking up the sun.
And no fat cracks, okay?
I don't appreciate the fat cracks.
I didn't have my tummy staple for another wise guy.
I've always wondered about that.
How come you didn't lose weight after the operation?
The staples never took.
My stomach dissolved the titanium clamps.
It was a tough seven-hour process.
My sergeant nearly lost a head.
But that's all water under the bridge now because I've switched to the thick method of losing weight.
The think method?
Yeah, I don't think I give a shit.
Hey, you dumb slumbony.
I heard some things about you.
I heard you lost a tooth, eh?
Yeah, yeah.
I mentioned that on the podcast a few days ago.
I had have a tooth pulled.
It's a nice story, Jimmy.
You know what I like to do whenever the sawbones pulls one of my tooths?
Fought.
I tell him, pull my tooth, and I fought.
Because I can.
I'm just a mate in my pants, man.
No one's going to take that away from me.
You get me?
So I understand you shut down the New Jersey state government because you won't sign off on a budget.
And you and your family had your own private beach to yourself while all the state beaches were shut down.
It was very stressful.
There was a drone overhead taking pictures of me and my family, invading my private, so to speak.
And this terrorist seldom guy, Yashar Ali, posted about Twitter.
I don't take too kindly today, you know.
But that's not the half of it.
At the same depics, a lot of people made a lot of cheap shots on the Twitter that were very hurtful.
Mind if I read some?
Sure, if you're up to it.
Okay.
One guy said it was a let-the-meat cake moment.
And then somebody answered, lots and lots of cake, evidently.
And another went, beautiful chocolate cake?
Yes, the best cakes, he replied.
Cakes with a capital C. That's pretty harsh.
It didn't end there, Jimmy.
I'm just sitting on the beach there, mind my own business, and this chump writes, can we get the making model on that chair?
Solid work.
Has to be reinforced materials, right?
Imported Chinese steel, someone retorted.
Well, people are a little mad, Governor.
These are actual things people said about me sitting on my own private ocean cove after I closed all the state parks at the beach.
For instance, one guy said, who knew that Drain in the Swamp would give us beached whales?
And another jerk chimed in, guess he got tired of liberals rolling him back into the ocean.
Yeah!
You're a comic, Jimmy.
That's just a freaking joke, right?
Technically, yes.
And this one, I don't even know what the fuck.
This guy writes, Christie has been taken over by the spirit of Kotman.
Remember when Cottman bought the amusement park and refused to allow anyone else in?
Jimmy, I don't get that reference at all, so not funny, right?
I guess people are just pissed that you're luxuriating on your own beach after you shut down all the state beaches under the 4th of July weekend, Governor.
You'd think that would be the end of the abuse, but there's more.
Wait, there's more.
Can you believe it?
This one woman said, wow, just wow.
I can't take it anymore.
That's not even a fucking joke, right?
It's more like a statement of disbelief.
No kidding.
And listen to this shit.
Christy even looks huge in the aerial view, like she's in the Great Wall of China from space.
From space?
Come on.
Why is everybody so pissed at me?
It's like I ruined that vacation or some shit like that.
Kinda.
But wait, there's more jokes about the launch here.
I think that's asking a lot of a beach chair.
Called the SBCA, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Armchairs.
Anybody else notice Giant Camel Toe?
In this case, the proper term would be moose knuckle.
And get this, Jimmy.
This one guy wrote, he could kill a child if he tripped over a clam.
A clam?
That's gratuitous, right?
Well, at this point, it would be hard to say.
Is that all there was?
Hardly.
These people were relentless.
I guess the worst one was an animated gift of Scotty from Star Trek yelling, Captain, there be whales here.
I mean, come on, right?
Like I said, taxpayers might be angry because you're son and yourself at a beach house they paid for at a steak park that you closed down.
But I didn't get any son.
Like my spokesman said, I had a baseball hat on.
That must have been a huge hat, right?
Hello?
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
Up-minded, lowly-livered lapdies.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you, T-Value.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore!
Hey, everybody.
Happy 4th of July last week.
You know what?
The fireworks are tough on pets.
I know that.
You know what?
You know what the best way to protect your pets from the 4th of July drama?
Overthrow the government.
That's a little tip from the Jimmy Dore show.
You know, if Donald Trump wants our bona data so bad, maybe you should just ask Mark Zuckerberg.
That's right.
Hey, listen, I gotta say this before we get to the billboard of the show, but I love, not really, how people who've just awoken to civics are outraged, depressed, frightened, and motivated to escape the country due to Trump's outlandish tweets.
Meanwhile, America's huge marginalized population, who've been suffering for decades and decades under a racist corporate kleptocracy, don't have the luxury to give a shit about horrible journalists like Micah Brzezinski and others at CNN getting mocked by the president.
Be thankful Trump at least tweets his worst thoughts instead of hiding them.
Because then we might as well have Pence for president.
And he's much more dangerous.
One more note.
Yes, I know we covered this, but as if taken from a shitty mystery novel, and then there were none, now it's just, and then there were just three, according to James Clapper.
Down from the 17 little intelligence agencies that social media, the new nationalistic left, and Hillary Clinton still jerk off to while seeing Russia from their houses.
The same 17 agencies cited, quoted, reposted, and retweeted by thousands of people and scores of news outlets as if it were confirmed truth.
This little retraction/slash correction was posted by the New York Times as a footnote at the bottom of a story after they spent months aided by the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, Salon.com, MSNBC, and scores of attention-starved mega thread Twitter cranks misleading the public for ratings.
And soon, the only thing left for Democrats to stand for will be, but we're not Trump.
Oh, wait, too late.
That's their new slogan.
Meanwhile, the resistance trash single-payer in California.
Look forward to losing more elections, Democrats.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
I'll tell you what's coming up on today's show.
We're going to take a look.
We're going to take a look at the Democrats that are killing single-payer.
And we're going to get a load of the guest list at the 4th of July party thrown by the senior associate editor of the Washington Post.
It is quite a guest list.
Some people have referred to it as obscene.
We're going to tell you why.
Plus, we got phone calls today from Chris Christie, Rick Perry, and a lot lot more.
That's today of the Jimmy Door Show.
Hey, everybody, welcome to the Jimmy Door Show.
I'm here with the miserable liberal and Ron Placone.
Howdy, howdy.
I'm miserable.
And so, look at this picture, right?
So, you know who this is?
This is Anthony Rendon.
He's the Speaker of the Assembly in California.
He's a Democrat.
He just killed, he's trying to kill single payer.
He is killing it.
He's doing that for Governor Jerry Brown.
That's a Twitter from him.
That's a Twitter from him.
He says, congratulations to the new California Democratic chair, Eric Bauman.
Time to unite as Democrats.
And look, they're all happy.
I don't know if you know, but Eric Bauman is a pharmaceutical lobbyist who killed a bill that Bernie sponsored last year to make drugs prices cheaper in California.
The guy who they just installed as the chairman of the Democratic Party, the chairman of the resistance, is that guy, a pharmaceutical lobbyist.
And that's the guy who just killed single payer right there.
There's Rendon.
There's Eric.
So do you need more corruption?
Do you need more corruption inside the Democratic Party?
Do you see why the Democratic Party is done?
Do you see that they do it right out in the open?
They installed a pharmaceutical lobbyist right out in the open.
They cheated right in the open to do it.
They cheated to do it.
Right in the open, and they're all giggling because they know it's one big money game, baby.
We're all neoliberals.
We're all in bed to corporations and we don't serve the people.
And that's why they're all smiling.
And Rendon's sitting there going, man, I'm going to kill that single payer if it ever comes to my desk.
I say I'm for it, which is, again, that's the neoliberal trick.
You give word, you give fealty, you pay fealty to democracy.
You pay fealty to the people.
You give lip service to single payer.
And then when time comes to implement it, you go, you can't psychantic.
It's impossible.
You can't do it.
It's impossible.
I'm just the leader in the assembly.
I can't do it.
Look at this guy.
This is Dick Gephardt.
Who's Dick Gephardt, Jimmy?
Dick Gephardt used to be the House minority leader for the Democrats from 1995 to 2003.
He was succeeded by Nancy Pelosi.
So before Nancy Pelosi was the Democratic leader in the Congress, it was Dick Gephardt.
He was also the House Majority Leader from 1989 to 1995.
So he was succeeded by Dick Army.
That's when they lost.
They lost the House in 95.
So he was also the chair of the House Democratic Caucus from 1985 to 1989.
And he was really a long-serving congressman from Missouri from January 3rd, 1977 until January 3rd, 2005.
That's a long time.
I'm not a math surgeon, but I'm pretty sure that's 28 years.
Right?
28?
I'm pretty sure.
So then when he quit in 2005, this is all going somewhere.
So then when he quit in 2005, on January 3rd, 2005, Gephardt's three-decade political career ended with the expiration of his 14th term in the House of Representatives.
That was on January 3rd, 2005.
That month, Gephardt started a consulting and lobbying firm.
Didn't waste any time.
That month, he even took a vacay.
That month, he started the Gephardt Group, of which Gephardt is president and CEO.
He also joined the international law firm of DLA Piper as a strategic advisor in the government affairs practice group.
So he started a lobbying firm, went to work for another law firm that lobbies.
Same month.
In 2005, Gephardt has been consultant to Goldman Sachs.
So also Goldman Sachs.
Since 2005, Gephardt has been a consultant at Goldman Sachs.
And since 2007, he has been consultant to FDI Consulting.
This is all from Wikipedia.
And since 2007, Gephardt began serving on the advisory board of the Extend Health Insurance Company.
Uh-oh.
So the guy was a congressman and a leader, a Democratic leader for almost 30 years from Missouri.
And then decided to continue his commitment to public service.
And then he decided to keep people out at Goldman Sachs and the Extend Health Insurance.
And the Extend Health Insurance Company.
He became a member of its board of directors.
In 2009, Gephardt advised United Health Group, one of America's largest private insurers, in waging a strong campaign against a public option.
Do you see why the Democratic Party is dead?
This is their leader.
This is their leader for 30 years.
This guy, this guy was a leader of the Democrats in Congress.
And what does he do when he gets out?
He immediately starts a lobbying firm, joins another lobbying firm, starts lobbying against the American people for the interests of corporations and big money donors.
And then in 2009, he goes all the way and screws you out of a public option for healthcare.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Yes.
With Democrats like these, who needs Republicans?
Nobody.
We got him.
This is what's called neoliberal.
These aren't liberals.
These are corporatists who don't give a shit about you or democracy.
Because what he does, what you do as a lobbyist is you undermine democracy.
That's your job.
Gephardt also currently serves as a director of Centene Corporation, Ford Motor Company, Spirit Aerosystems Holdings Inc., and United States Steel Corporation.
And he joined the Fords board in 2009.
Boy, he must be a genius at business.
All these people want him on their boards.
He must really know how to do business.
Good.
Or what are they doing?
They're buying influence.
They're giving him millions of dollars so he can then go and get a legislation that favors their corporation.
Because he was in Congress for 30 Years, baby.
He knows everybody.
He knows how to do it.
And he knows how to spread the money around.
Because that's how you become a leader in Congress.
You give money to other people.
That's why Chuck Schumer is a leader.
That's why Nancy Pelosi is a leader because they get more money from corporations and they give it to the other people in Congress.
He also serves on the board of Centene, receiving annual, that's that's annual, this is from the intercept, annual compensation, around $315,000 in cash.
Why is that interesting?
Because, well, Centene, which merged with HealthNet two years ago, is a health insurance company that sells coverage in 28 states.
At the conference, there was a conference.
Centene had a conference, which included investors and Centene executives, as well as lobbyists and unidentified, and an unidentified participant asked this question.
It was at the annual Investor Day conference at the Pier, a Ritchie five-star hotel in New York City.
So this was taking place there at the Centene Corporation's annual Investor Day conference.
Dick Kephart, Democratic leader for 30 years, is on that board.
He gets over $300,000 a year to do nothing except make sure that people get screwed over in favor of this healthcare company.
So someone asks him a question.
Unidentified participant, listen to this question and listen to this answer.
And keep in mind, with friends like Democrats, who needs Republicans?
Ready?
Here we go.
Here's the question.
Second question.
You know, one of the sort of existential threats that I always think about in this business is just a single payer system, man.
So I don't know if you heard the beginning of that question.
I will play it again.
He says, one of the existential threats in this business is a single payer system.
So this guy is getting rich.
They're all super rich off of screwing people over for health care.
And they get to be the middleman and take all the money and deny you service and jack up the costs.
That's why it costs twice as much in the United States as it does in other countries for better or worse outcomes actually.
So we get worse outcomes and we pay more.
So listen to that again.
Here comes the question.
This is a question to Dick Kephart, former majority leader in the Congress.
Ready?
Second question.
You know, one of the sort of existential threats that I always think about in this business is just a single payer system.
And I know we've never gotten close on the Senate floor, but I guess in anyone's mind, I'm curious to get anyone's perspective.
Is there a scenario where this just isn't working?
Maybe there's another bill in the HCA and that doesn't work as well either.
Is there a scenario where we're ever really contemplating a single-payer system in the U.S.?
Not in my lifetime.
That's the Democratic leader.
30 years congressman from Missouri.
He handed off the torch to Nancy Pelosi.
That guy.
You want to hear what else he has to say?
Yes.
He said, not in my lifetime.
I'm pretty old.
I love when they laugh about denying poor people health care.
It's hilarious.
We're getting rich off denying people health care.
And let's laugh our asses off at the Pure Hotel in New York City.
There is no way you could pass single payer in any intermediate future.
And, you know, I have to give you my editorial comment.
This is the greatest health care system in the world, bar none.
For him.
If you're rich and you have great health insurance, those are two big ifs.
We know that 45,000 people a year die in the United States, the United States for lack of access.
We know that old people cut back on their medicine.
We know this.
We know that young people also do that.
They half their medicine.
They take half of it and then they die.
They get sicker.
So we're sicker and we die and we have higher medical bills all because so these guys can be rich and laugh at everybody.
And then he's going to lie.
So he's lying right now and he's sounding exactly like every corporate talking point that ever came from a health insurance industry.
Yeah.
And the World Health Organization that polls people that live in this country other than rich people knows that we're actually 37th, not first, bar none.
What are we, Ron?
We are 37th.
Oh, so Dick Kepart, we're not, this isn't the best.
We're actually 37th.
If you got a real problem, you want to be in America.
And if you look.
If you got a real problem and a shitload of money, you want to be in America.
If you're a regular person and you're sick, you want to be anywhere else.
Canada, the UK, Sweden, France, Italy, Russia, Syria.
Yeah, Syria.
Guess who has single-payer?
Syria.
Around the world where they have single-payer, I think you will find, yeah, it covers more people, but they do not have the quality and they do not have the innovation that we get because of the involvement of the private sector in our health care system.
I mean, that's right out of a pamphlet.
That is the right-wing hot talking point right there.
Like, that is the best.
Do you know how they do all that research on how to cure diseases, those health companies, those health insurance companies?
Those health insurance companies.
They do all the research.
So wait till you hear the rest of this.
And I think that will defeat single-payer approaches now and in the future.
Put me down as a grill with Leader Gephardt.
As usual.
Haley and I, Haley and I are both in the middle on this one.
If I might.
Haley Barber.
That was Dick Gephardt a great rider.
Hey, that's Haley Barber.
I'm Haley Barber.
That's who the Democrats are.
That's what neoliberals are.
Neoliberals, doesn't matter if you're Republican, doesn't matter if you're Democrat.
If you're neoliberal, that means you're a corporatist and you're hanging out with health insurance guys who are screwing people over, getting rich doing it.
Guys like Haley Barber, you're hanging out.
You're in 100% agreement with Haley.
And they call it the center.
Isn't that hilarious?
They're in the center.
That's what he said at the end.
We're in the center.
No, the country wants single-payers.
60% of people want single-payer.
80% of people wanted a public option.
So this is, we don't live in a democracy anymore.
We live in an oligarchy.
Sure, we get to vote and everything, but that doesn't mean we live in a democracy.
That doesn't mean that our representatives actually Represent us.
And so, by the way, what do you call a guy like Dick Kephart?
Dick Gephardt, who was 30 years in Congress, immediately started a lobbying firm, went to work for other lobbyists, lobbied against the public option, and now is killing single payer and doing it by spreading lies.
What do you call that guy?
A super delegate.
He's a super delegate.
He gets to pick who the president's going to be, the Democratic nominee.
He's super.
Dick Gephardt.
He gets more of a vote than you do.
He's a super delegate.
That's who's running the party.
That's who's running the party.
And guess, and the intercept caught it.
Democratic superdelegate in a room full of health insurance executives laughs off prospect of single payer.
That's by Lee Fang.
Most medical innovation.
So this is what, according to the intercept, Lee Fang, most medical innovators, this is what you were saying.
Most medical innovation in the U.S. are already government funded through universities receiving federal subsidies and grants, as well as through the National Institutes of Health.
Hmm.
So that's kind of, I don't know, bullshit.
Dick Gephardt is a bought, bribed, paid liar.
That's what they are.
When they bring him on Morning Joeball, they'll introduce him as former congressman, former majority leader, former all that stuff.
But what he is is a corporate tool who takes bribes to lie to you and deny poor people health care.
That's who Dick Gephardt is.
That's the plainest way you can put it.
He's lying.
He knows he's lying.
Just like when Dianne Feinstein says, well, if single payer means a government takeover of health care, I'm not there.
She's lying.
These are the people.
They know what they're doing.
And they don't care.
They're laughing right at you.
And you still going to vote for the Democrats?
You still think the Democratic Party's worth a shit?
Watch Keith Ellison run around carrying water for the fucking corporatists, which is what he's doing.
It's gross.
It's disgusting.
What's happening right now in California is this.
We got corporatists.
So it's Dick Guppart before he got out of, so before he got out of legislature, there he is.
We got Anthony Rendon.
We got Eric Braverman, Bauman.
Bauman.
Bauman.
You have Governor Jerry Brown.
You got Governor Jerry Brown, who's also in the tank, who's also against single payer.
Jerry Brown.
And I'm going to show you another video how Jerry Brown is full of it, and he knows he's full of it.
They're doing it right out in the open, you guys.
The Democrats are doing it right in your face.
Right in your face.
And half the party still doesn't care.
Still doesn't care.
You wonder why our country's going to shit?
You wonder why there's more economic mobility in Europe than there is in the United States?
You wonder why people go bankrupt when they get sick in America and it doesn't happen anywhere else in the world in the Western world?
You know why?
Because our leaders are completely corrupted liars.
Dick Kephardt is a corrupted, bribe-taking liar who is enriching himself by denying you health care.
And that's a fact.
He already denied you the public option.
On purpose, he took money for it.
That's the Democrat.
This is from the intercept.
A single-payer insurance system like Medicare would simply negotiate for lower prices from providers and would likely steer savings towards greater investments in research and development.
So we would actually have greater research and development if we had single-payer.
The exact opposite of what Dick Kephardt said because he's being paid to say that.
And Haley Barber is being paid to say those things.
Dick Kephart doesn't have any integrity.
He's not a decent human being.
He takes money from people screwing you out of health care and he laughs about it at a high-class hotel in New York City.
That's who Dick Kephart.
That's who the Democrats are.
That's who Barack Obama is.
Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Anthony Rendon, Eric Bauman.
That's who the Democrat, Tom Perez, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Donna Brazil.
That's who the whole goddamn party is, baby.
There's just Bernie Sanders, maybe Roe Conna.
He's come around to the right side of everything, so far as I can tell.
Again, I'm not for people.
I'm for positions.
I'm for policies.
And if you're for a policy of getting money out of government and for single payer and for ending the wars and investing that money back at home and for breaking up the big banks, I'm for you.
If you're for a $15 minimum wage, I'm for you.
I don't care who you are.
The Democrats aren't those people.
The Democrats are the opposite.
They are wolf in sheep's clothing.
And it is obvious.
Is this not obvious?
It's horrible.
You know, I started to have this, I don't know, was it coming to Jesus moment when I saw Howard Dean talk about his position as a superdelegate and how he decided that, you know, he didn't have to go ahead and cast his vote in support for the candidate that his state voted for.
Right.
He could go ahead and do what he thought was best and he thought was best was supporting Hillary Clinton.
And all along, under his little Chiron, former governor.
Former governor.
No, no, not lie.
You know what he is right now?
He's a big pharma supporter.
He gets a lot of support.
Isn't he a pharmaceutical?
He works for a big lobbying firm that lobbies against single payer.
Yes.
He works for the biggest lobbying firm in the world.
So how I feel is ultimately, Democrats are dead to me.
They do not represent my dreams, my desires here in the state of California.
And you know what?
Last week we did a whole thing about calling Anthony Rendon's office.
You know what?
Call Governor Jerry Brown's office and demand single payer in the state of California because he's going to leave office as a failure.
Well, no, he's going to leave office without ever passing single payer, and that is going to be an accomplishment for him and his corporate donors.
It's time for a revolution, and I'm not kidding.
Like, this is a big deal.
Like, we have to kind of maybe wipe out the Democratic Party, get rid of it, maybe.
People are like, well, you can't do it.
Well, we can't live like this anymore.
Claims about lower quality care are also highly disputed, given that countries with single payer and tightly regulated universal health systems perform much higher than the U.S. in a range of health outcomes.
So what Dick Kephart was doing in no uncertain terms was lying.
And why is he lying?
Because he's being bribed.
That's the kind of character Democratic congressman, former Democrat, that's the kind of character they have.
Dick Kephart has no character, zero integrity.
He takes money.
He enriches himself by denying you a public option, by denying you health care that the rest of the world takes for granted, that the UK has had since 1948.
You know, it's 4th of July was recent, and I had some conversations with friends, and I was saying, you know, I was saying, I was like, you know, I think our two-party system is pretty much over.
Our system needs to be completely revamped.
You know, Trump is the result of everything that's wrong with our system embodied.
And we need a political revolution.
Like, it needs to happen.
The time is now.
And, you know, we can't baby step anymore.
And the person said to me, they were like, you know, we agree on the same principles, but that's insane.
And I was like, is it?
And I was like, you know what the definition of insanity is, right?
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
And what did they say?
Which one of us is insane?
What did they say to that?
I wish I was.
What was the baby steps part the insane part?
They went to the punch bowl after that, Jimmy.
Sorry, Santa Clamatic.
So there you go.
And if anybody needs any more proof of what's wrong with our system, there it is.
I can't.
It doesn't get any grosser than that.
That's a guy who's at the tippy top of the Democratic Party.
He is a super delegate, and he is lying and bought.
He's bribe.
He takes bribes out in the open and lies out in the open right to your face.
And you ain't never getting single payer as long as the neoliberals are in charge.
You ain't never getting single payer with this Democratic Party with Tom Perez and Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Anthony Rendon and Jerry Brown and Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi.
You are never getting single payer with those people.
We got to get rid of those people and we got to do.
I'm not voting for Democrats anymore.
That's it.
All right?
So this isn't happening.
So draft Bernie.
Neither.
Come get my vote.
Yeah, come get my vote.
That's the way it's supposed to be.
And as Ron Palcone has said many times, Hillary Clinton was the only candidate in history who wasn't expected to garner votes by campaigning.
Isn't that weird?
You have to come get people's votes.
So it's worse than you think.
It is worse than you think.
It actually wasn't me that said that first.
You didn't say that first?
That was Rusty Lewis on Twitter.
Oh, is that who said that?
Yeah, you can't give me credit for saying that.
Oh, I've been crediting.
I've been crediting Russ.
Rush G. Lewis, sorry, Russ.
Didn't mean to steal your quote from you.
Sorry.
I'll credit you.
I love you, Russ.
Not trying to take anything from you.
Oh, boy.
There you go.
Anyway, things are worse than you think.
Things are worse than you think.
And we need a revolution.
Hey, everybody, this is the part of the show where I usually tell you to go to our Amazon.com link.
You know, we don't encourage anybody to shop at Amazon.
But if you do, we say have some of that money go to a progressive show like the Jimmy Doer show.
Doesn't change the way you shop at Amazon, doesn't cost you anything, but it's a big help to the show.
So the next time you want to buy something from Amazon, go to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Our Amazon box is right on the front page.
Click it.
It takes you to Amazon.
And then when you buy something, they send us money.
It's just that easy.
But we have a new thing, a new way for you to help support us.
Well, you can become a premium member.
You already know about that.
And I'll tell you about it at the end of the show.
But we started a Patreon, right?
So because a lot of people feel more comfortable using Patreon than using PayPal or Amazon.
So that's another way you can help support the show.
We have a Patreon link.
Just go to patreon.com slash Jimmy Door, patreon.com slash Jimmy Door.
Go there.
You can become a patron of the Jimmy Door show.
And you know what matters more now than ever because our show has really blown up and gotten way more popular since we've been going on YouTube.
But we've gotten over a quarter million subscribers.
And so things are really happening.
And except YouTube pulled our funding out from underneath us, right?
So they don't want independent news anymore.
And YouTube's offering establishment news.
They're actually offering for a fee.
So they're funding independent news people like us.
So that's why we're offering Patreon.
That's why we're offering a premium.

Thank you for doing that.
Now let's get on to the second half.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hello, this is Offended Listener.
Oh, hi, Offended Listener.
And I am still a Hillary supporter, by the way, till the day I die.
Quite frankly, you know what?
I'm glad she lost.
What?
This stupid country doesn't deserve Hillary.
If she had one, we wouldn't have been grateful enough for her sacrifice and her service, and it would have made me sick.
*laughter*
Really?
Yes, sick to my stomach.
I see what the media is doing now, constantly pressing Trump and trying to figure out what he's doing.
And knowing that they'd be doing that to Hillary if she were in the White House, no thank you.
Spare her.
We don't deserve her.
She deserves to be in a peaceful place receiving rubs and massages, drinking Prosecco.
And I hope she is.
Okay, is this why you called offended listener?
No, of course not, stupid.
I am offended by you and your dumb show, which also makes me sick.
In addition to Hillary issues, which also sicken me.
Granted, I have IBS, so that could be at the root of a lot of this, but I'm still mad.
Why do you still listen then?
Because somebody has to keep an eye on you, straight white males, while you're still allowed to talk about politics.
Something I hope will come to an end very soon.
And it's up to me because I have absolutely nothing to do.
Do you understand me?
Nothing.
Okay, well, what did we do now?
I am furious about your decision to decide that the Russian interference in the election was no big deal.
Well, it wasn't a big deal.
Yes, it was.
No, it wasn't.
Be quiet.
Don't interrupt me.
Or contradict me.
Both are a form of violence if you think about it.
Jesus Christ.
Putin hacked this election, and that's why Trump is president.
How come no one is talking about this?
I don't understand.
This is a huge violation.
Look, I'm sorry, offended listener, but this is all part of people's inability to accept the fact that the Democratic Party is controlled by a crooked political machine and ran a deeply flawed, uninspiring candidate through a lousy campaign and lost to a reality TV star.
Fair and square.
Listen to you.
Just listen to yourself.
What?
Listen to you.
Listen to you.
Still, even months later, you're obsessed with Hillary.
Okay.
You'll still find any opportunity to bash a woman.
You'll do anything to get to do that.
To what?
You just can't let it go.
It's pathetic.
This hatred of Hillary.
She was the 2016 Democratic nominee.
Unbelievable.
Okay, now I'm going to complain about Bernie Sanders for about 20 minutes.
Oh, boy.
Shut up.
Many of us know or have come to be aware that the Russian hacking of the 2016 election was about Bernie.
The whole Bernie campaign was basically a Russian spy thing.
Putin basically created the whole Bernie Bro movement to sink Hillary and get Trump elected.
Oh, give me a break.
I'm not kidding.
Lots of Democrats on the internet think this.
And you know what?
You know what?
I knew something was off about Bernie from day one.
Here comes this man who talks about single-payer health care and wealth inequality.
And I was just like, what's his angle?
Who is this man?
I don't like him.
I don't like him.
And now we know that he was a Russian agent.
Whether he knew it or not, he's still guilty.
It doesn't make any difference.
Oh, really?
Uh-huh.
And you know what?
We were trying to tell you the whole time, you Bernie bros.
Women and people of color knew instinctively that something was off about him.
I see.
Because they can intuit and sense things that white men like you cannot.
And they try to warn you, but you refuse to listen because you never listen.
And look what happened.
Just look what happened.
Hillary got nominated.
That's right.
No, no, that's not what I meant.
That was a good part of what happened, but I meant Trump.
Trump came around.
Or, yes, Hillary got nominated, but with the taint of having run against Bernie with all of the Russians signaling all around her.
Only some of us, the initiated, can sense it.
Okay, I really don't have time for this offended listener.
I got to go.
Oh, of course.
Use the patriarchal concept of linear one-dimensional time to silence dissent.
Biotypical.
*music*
Hey, everybody, how are you doing here?
Look who's here.
Hotty, hottie.
I'm miserable.
So guess what?
I don't know.
There was a big party in the Hamptons.
It was thrown by this woman.
Her name was Lally Waymouth.
Sounds like a funny name, right?
It's kind of goofy.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sounds like a cartoon.
I've never met a Lally in my whole life.
Have you met a Lally?
No.
I've met a couple of Lalas, which I think is pretty cool.
I've met a Lola.
Lola.
Yeah.
I've met a Lulu.
I've met a Lulu, Lola.
But Lally is the first.
Lally sounds like something that Lucille Ball says when she gets a hairspray in her mouth.
Lally.
But anyway, the reason why I bring her up is she's very important.
You can see this is from Google.
If you Google her, that comes up.
All those pictures of her.
She looks fantastic.
And she was born in 1943.
She's 74 years old.
She was born in Washington, D.C., and her parents were Catherine Graham and Phil Graham, the publishers of the Washington Post.
She went to Harvard.
She is the eldest of four children of Catherine Graham and Philip Graham, both of whom were publishers of the Washington Post.
So she's pretty, she was born connected, right?
She was born at the tippy top.
Yeah, that's a pretty solid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right?
It's like if your dad owned the Tribune or something.
Or if your dad owned NBC.
Or if your dad was Tim Russert.
She's like the female Luke Russert a little bit.
So apparently she does great.
She's also a reporter.
She's interviewed all the most important people in the world.
I wonder how she got those interviews.
I wonder.
I bet she had to really pound the pavement herself.
Started at the bottom.
Started at the bottom.
She's at the bottom, worked her way up.
And now she's the senior associate editor of the Washington Post, senior associate editor.
So we know that they love that term senior in news.
They always like the senior correspondent, even though he's 28 years old.
Senior this, senior that.
So there she goes.
And why do I bring this up?
Because there was this tweet by Ashley Feinberg.
And she tweeted this section from Out and About in the Hamptons.
And it talks about Lally Weymouth's party.
And I'll just read you the top part.
This is the top part.
Let me do this.
So this is this part here.
Lally Weymouth held her annual summer party last night at her house in Southampton.
There was a long gold carpet entrance from where the parking was to a big tent next to her house.
She served champagne, rare filet.
That sounds like Garspacho.
Fried chicken, cornbread, a big chocolate cake, ice cream, and cookies decorated as American flags.
Brother Don Graham did a big tribute to Toast Lally, whose birthday is tomorrow, and shouted out Steven Spielberg's upcoming film about how Ben Bradley and Catherine Graham challenged the government for the right to publish the Pentagon Papers in 1971.
Boy, that's when the press used to have an adversarial relationship with government.
Oh, I guess they do again because it's Trump.
But that's more to this.
There's more to this.
Tom Hanks is playing Bradley and Meryl Streep is playing Graham.
Isn't that great?
So Meryl Streep's playing her mom and Tom Hanks is playing Bradley.
Isn't that fantastic?
I think it's fantastic.
Don made a big deal that Steven Spielberg was there and jokingly conceived a Spielberg movie about Lally and described the cast.
So it's just a great big party with a bunch of who were all the rich.
So Steven Spielberg's at a party.
The lady who's the supervising editor from the Washington Post at the South.
What's the big deal, right?
If you were at that party, you better have some business cards on you.
It was that kind of party.
Here's who's at that freaking party.
Spotted.
So if you go down, if you go down here, it says spotted.
And then in blue, I'm going to read you all these people's names who were there.
Jared and Ivanka, Jared and Ivanka Trump chatting with Joel Klein and Alan Petrickoff.
Kellyanne Conway was on the dance floor.
She was spotted.
Boyden Gray, Chris Ruddy, Senator Chuck Schumer, and his wife, Iris.
So do you see who's at this party?
So the head of the Washington Post, who I guess they pretend to hate Trump, right?
They're hating on him.
They invited Kellyanne Conway.
They invited his daughter.
They invited Jared Kushner.
Isn't that wild?
I thought we want to impeach Trump.
I thought he was a pox.
I thought everything that they're doing is fascism, and you got to be the resistance.
I thought we were resisting Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump and Kellyanne Conway.
And so just so you know who these people are: Boyden Gray, former ambassador, big shot lawyer, working in the Bush administration as an ambassador.
Chris Ruddy, he owns Newsmax, which is a conservative news site.
Also there, Senator Chuck Schumer and his wife, Iris.
Catherine Waymouth was there.
I think that's her daughter.
That's Lally's daughter.
Mary Jordan, Richard Cohen, Margaret Carlson, we know who Margaret Carlson is, the journalist.
Steven Spielberg chatting with Steve Clemens and Robert Hormatz.
So he is the, what is it called?
The what?
The vice chair?
So Robert Hormatz is vice chairman of Kissinger Associates.
Okay.
He also was the vice chairman of Goldman Sachs, and he's a Democrat.
Under Barack Obama, he was the Undersecretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment.
Wow.
So he's there.
So he's there.
Also, Carl Icon.
We all know who he is.
Tommy Lee, he's famous for doing leveraged buyout of Snapple.
And now he lives in Princess Radiswill's house.
This is all right here.
And if you follow this little thing, it's right here.
Who else was there?
Charles Koch.
We know who they are.
Charles Koch was there.
John Paulson.
Dina Powell.
Richard Edelman.
Who are all those people?
Nobody important, right?
So, yeah, I mean, John Paulson.
Those are writers.
Those are all just different writers.
Paulson's an investor.
Dina Powell is a policymaker and a nonprofit executive.
And Richard Edelman is a PR specialist.
Okay, so he runs a PR group.
There's George Soros and his wife.
Tamika Bolton, we know who that is.
So George Soros and Charles Koch is there.
Isn't that awesome?
And Carl Icon is there.
And Tom Lee is there.
Isn't that great?
And the guy with the head of the Kissinger Foundation is there.
Plus, Chucky Schumer and his wife.
Plus Kellyanne Conway.
Plus Jared and Ivanka, Jared Ivanka Trump.
Plus, you know who else was there?
Former Florida governor and senator Bob Graham, who is Lally's uncle.
Her cousin Gwen Graham, who is running for Florida governor.
Maria Bartaromo.
We know who Maria Bartaromo is, right?
She's the minor bird of Wall Street.
Ray Kelly, you know who Ray Kelly is, former police chief, right?
Is that correct?
Ray Kelly?
Yeah.
And Bill Bratton, also former police chief of New York City.
And then, wow.
And then Representative Lisa.
So do you see who's at this party?
Do you see what this means?
So here's what the Hillhead tweeted out.
Kushner Ivanka spotted at Hampton's party with Soro Schumer.
So it makes me.
So here's how Glenn Greenwald handled it.
He said, it's almost like there's a ruling class that transcends feigned partisan acrimony.
It reminds me of the George Carlin bit where he talks about it's a big club and you ain't in it.
It is a big club in the UA.
I thought the Trumps and all those people were supposed to be existential threats.
They got people from his administration.
They got policy people there from in his administration.
They got Kellyanne Conway, who's so out of it, they won't even allow her on CNN anymore, right?
Isn't that?
Yeah, she still thinks her microwave's talking to her.
Yeah.
She's out there.
All there with Chuck, the leader, the Democratic leader.
Plus, they're all there at the Washington Post's house supervising, what is she called?
Editor.
She's a senior.
She's a senior.
Senior associate editor of the Washington Post.
Her parents used to own it.
Well, at least Chuck Schumer had a lot of brains to pick while he's making his economic policy.
We're all waiting for him.
Yeah.
Yeah.
A lot of.
Well, it took some focus groups while he was there.
So I think that's obscene.
I think that's what's wrong with the, that's neoliberalism.
That's what that is.
That's neoliberal.
Hey, we're all corporatists.
We're all really rich.
We're all about leveraged buyouts and bubbles and deregulation.
That's quite.
And then they have the newspaper people there.
Then the news people are there too, the sanction it all.
They're not going to be blowing any scoops from this party.
Right?
No.
That would be uncouth.
That would be rude.
You wouldn't get invited back to the gold carpeted at the Hamptons.
So, well, how do you both feel about this?
I feel how Glenn Greenwald feels.
I feel it's almost like there's a ruling class that transcends faint partisan acrimony.
So we live in an oligarchy.
So remember what an oligarchy is, right?
It's ruled by a handful of rich people, and that's what we have.
And there they are.
Yeah, I think it's hard to say anything other than that.
I mean, it's not like this was like a meeting to try to discuss policy.
This was a holiday.
It's a holiday party.
You spend a holiday with your buddies.
Yeah.
That's what you do, especially like a big drinking holiday like 4th of July.
That's when you spend it with your buddies that you want to get down with.
I think mostly when I look at the list, I think of the diversity that is highlighted.
Ha!
You had bald financial investors.
You had glasses wearing corporate tools.
Yes, I had.
You had non-glasses wearing.
Go ahead.
You had senior associate editors.
I bet you they had some junior associates there, too.
They were at a different table, though, so they weren't included in the initial list.
So I guess Trump couldn't go because it would be too much of a Secret Service nightmare.
But everybody else could go.
Isn't that funny?
go ahead.
When you think about it, like if you walked in, Jimmy, and you saw Jared Kushner there and Kellyanne Conway there and Chuck Schumer, like at some point, like I know I would have to start binge drinking.
I agree with you, Steph.
And the fact that they're all being brought there.
So the senior associate editor of the Washington Post invites Jared Kushner.
And these are the people they hang out with.
And you wonder why the Washington Post files false story after false story.
It's run by an 80 billionaire who I'm sure is interested in upsetting the status quo.
I'm sure he's, I'm sure he's really into antitrust regulation.
I'm really sure that's what he wants to break up the monopolies, Jeff Bezos, right?
That's why the so we're living in this weird time right now where they just right out in the open, they do this stuff.
So they steal right out in the open.
What do you mean by that, Jimmy?
Well, look at what Hillary Clinton had a private and a public position.
Barack Obama bails out an equity firm on his way out the door, artificially inflating rents for people and making it harder for first-time homebuyers.
And when he comes back into public life another month or two later, he takes a half million dollar payout from a bank.
First thing he does after he's out, I don't know, he's surfing with the guy from Virgin, Richard Branson.
So they're doing it right out in the open and they don't care.
But this is how it's been going for a long time.
So there is, there is a ruling class that transcends feign partisan acrimony.
And there it is.
That's unbelievable who's all there.
All the money in that one room.
All the connections in that one room.
So what was shocking to me was I read some of the under Glenn Greenwald's tweet.
I read some of the people underneath it, and it was stunning.
Like there's a guy who loves Obama, right?
So those, you know, that's what I call the sleeping left, right?
So whenever there's a Democrat in office, they go to sleep, and they're unaware of all the horrible stuff that Democrats do.
You know, like repeal the New Deal.
Remember when the Democrats repealed the New Deal?
I do.
You know, for alliteration's sake, we could refer to them as the lethargic left.
Oh, we could, the lethargic left.
So here's one of the people underneath it.
It's a guest list.
This is someone called Thank You Obama.
And that finger, that is a finger to Trump.
So if you go to his page, that's not effing Obama.
That's someone who's sincerely saying thank you, Obama, but giving the finger to Trump.
And what they said, it's a guest list.
Schumer and Conway aren't doing anything indicating friendliness.
People objecting to this don't know how adulting works.
I didn't even know there was such a word as adulting.
It's weird that Bernie, I didn't know there was a thing called adulting.
It's weird Bernie Sanders wasn't there.
Isn't that weird?
Tulsi Gabbard.
It's just a guest list.
Jill Stein's not there.
Tulsi Gabbard's not there.
Who else is it there?
I don't know, Ralph Nader.
How about that?
Noam Chomsky?
Donahue.
How about Phil Donahue?
How about Ed Schultz?
Right?
I don't know.
Any of those people there?
No.
Isn't that funny?
And it's thrown by the Washington Post, baby.
That's who's doing it.
The Washington Post.
So this guy says you don't know how adulting works.
Someone says adulting means palling around with billionaire psychopaths for fun.
Well, now we know what it means, too.
Now I know there's a lot of things.
We don't know how that works because we don't do that.
So this guy then came back in, Ron, to try to clarify.
No, that's not what it means.
He says, he says, being adult means you sometimes have to do things you find distasteful to serve the greater good.
This holier than thou parsing serves nothing, no one.
So wait, wait, who was serving the greater good and how were they doing it?
I don't know, Ron, but Chuck Schumer going to this party, he's serving the greater good.
So the person underneath that says, our betters improving the world, one Lally Weymouth summer party at a time.
There it is.
Fantastic.
That's why somebody called autocracy.
I don't even know if that's a word.
He also then, but it's your job and your job to go and you won't.
Didn't think so.
So this guy's still defending it.
It's your job to go.
It's not Chuck Schumer's job to go to a party in Southampton's.
No, he's on official recents.
Yeah.
Recess, more so than almost anyone.
He can go wherever the fuck he wants to celebrate his holiday.
Yeah.
So the person distinguished Kitta said, Reynard, it's nobody's job to do this except the catering staff.
Yep.
So there you go.
I mean, it's just no matter how gross the corruption gets, there will always be someone to defend it on Twitter.
And I didn't even, you know, of course, Joanne Reed and all the neoliberals and the Joan Walshes of the world will defend it.
Of course.
Of course.
Of course, Tom Perez, of course, they'll all defend it.
Well, they all want to get an invite for next year.
Yeah, I mean, they're like, well, we missed out on a good one.
It's a big, big club, and you ain't in it.
And you got to be rich and connected to be in it.
And there you go.
If you want to know why things are screwed up, there you go.
That's the Washington Post throwing that party.
That's our muckrakers.
That's our democracy dies in darkness people.
Those are the people who are the resistance.
You watch this show, you know the Washington Post doing some horrible work most of the time.
They do some good work, too, no doubt about it.
It dies in darkness, all right, because their parties start after sundown.
Still, there's some good work that gets done over there, but they are a they are exactly what Chomsky says.
They're there to forward the agenda of the plutocrats.
That's what the Washington Post is there for.
That's what the New York Times is there for.
That's what MSNBC and CNN is there for.
That's what the media is there for.
There's only six companies that bring us all our media.
Don't forget it.
Six companies.
Thank you to who?
Thank you to Bill Clinton, a neoliberal who repealed the new freaking deal.
Okay.
And now you know the rest of the story.
And you wonder why people get their news from YouTube.
Oh, looks like we got, looks like we got Rick Perry on the phone again.
Jimmy, it's Rick Perry on the phone again.
Hi.
Hi.
Have you made your decision to apologize to President Trump yet?
For what?
Oh, come on, really?
No, seriously.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Well, if you don't know, I'm not going to tell you.
No, wait, that's not how it's supposed to work out.
Contract in.
Sure.
