Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Phone's ringing.
Who could this be?
Hello?
Oh, sweet crane.
hello to who am I speaking?
Hello.
Hey, who is this?
Who is this?
Oh, my phone.
My phone's on.
Oh, hello?
Hello, did I call somebody?
Yeah, this is Jimmy Doer.
Is this Paula Dean?
Yes.
Oh, my goodness.
My goodness, Jimmy.
I booty called you.
Oh, say what?
A booty call.
I made a booty call.
I'm not sure you're using that term correctly.
Oh, sure, I am.
I have my phone on the couch, and I'm all swaddled up here with the hubs.
Got my heating pad.
Got football on the TV.
Oh, scrumptious raised snacks.
Sweet and salty and buttery and crispy.
Then I hear a little voice coming from underneath the blanket.
And it's you.
Half embarrassing.
Lord bless it.
I bet I rolled over and my catfish booty called your number and here you are.
Again, I'm pretty sure booty call means something completely different.
You know what, Jimmy Doer?
I'm glad I accidentally called you.
Oh, yeah?
It's funny.
I was just thinking about you.
Your day we watching Falcons and the Lions and the singer, what did the national anthem, he knelt down at the end when he got for the word brave and he held his fist up high.
And I don't even know what that means.
Oh, you don't?
But I know we were shocked by it.
Scandalized even.
My grandson was in the room, Jimmy.
And for me, having explained just what the heck was going on to him and his daddy and Uncle Bobby and Michael.
And what made you think of me, Paula?
I'm flattered, but what made you think of me?
I couldn't really even explain it.
Later, I thought, where are these singers and ad fates getting this idea to do this from?
Who's teaching them to disrespect our nation's anthem and the flag and so forth?
And I finally put it together.
I thought of you and leftists like you who are putting ideas in the heads of unsuspecting football players, actors, journalists, citizens, Twitters, etc.
You're teaching them to stand up by nailing, protesting patriotism.
I still don't even get it.
I got to make this point again.
They aren't protesting the flag or the anthem or patriotism as an idea.
Honestly, I can't believe we're still talking about all this.
But of course, as a celebrity chef, television personality, and exposed racist, I believe it's not my place for me to personally speak out about such indignities.
And I wish to abstain from making my comments about the NFL or whatever it is these blacks are all riled up about.
Okay, great.
I really have no opinion.
I really, truly don't.
Fantastic.
I can tell you, though, that my hubby Michael was absolutely disgusted.
We're just simple Southern folks, Jimmy.
As Southerners, we can't help but like our food fried and our black athletes, obedient, silent, and above all, grateful for what this nation is given to them.
That's really all I have to say about the matter.
Okay, sugar tongue.
Is it really?
Are you sure that's it?
Yes.
Well, that's a pretty disgusting stance to take, Paul, if you ask me.
And then to hide behind your husband, that's just disgraceful.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I must remain silent.
And anyway, the nation has moved on.
A few weeks in the news, and now we're past the whole take the name scandal.
We got bigger fish to season, dredge in a mixture of flour and cornmeal, and spend approximately seven, eight minutes deep frying.
I don't know, Paula.
Racial injustice isn't going to go away, especially if we refuse to talk about it.
You should understand that, especially given what you went through.
What's that now?
You know, being fired from the food network.
I don't follow.
Your racial slur scandal.
Remember?
Oh, I remember.
But it's a distant memory by now, Jimmy.
And I assure you, I've learned so much from that incident.
I'm not racist anymore.
My daughter-in-law is from Venezuela, for Pete's sake.
I'm so glad to hear that you cured your racism.
So how can I help you?
I don't need any help, Sugar.
Oh, okay.
Well, great.
You're doing good then.
You're thriving in Trump's America.
Great.
It's good to hear from you, Paula.
Yeah, I'm going to have to cut our convo short.
Halftime is over, and we're going to go.
All right.
Thank you, Paula.
Bye.
That's good, isn't it?
Thank you.
Yeah.
Look at them and do what they're supposed to be doing.
Now, that's how it's supposed to look.
running around.
It's a pretty cat bitch, isn't it?
I think we were just, I thought, some little blacks doing what they're called.
That's what I like to say.
Just that good old days.
I shouldn't be listening to this.
Did I hang up this phone?
I gotta learn how to use this fucking thing.
I gotta learn how to use this fucking thing.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
The show for...
...up-minded, lowly-lovered lapis.
Comments maybe on tearing down our nation.
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you guys.
And now, there's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Before we get to the show, I want to let you know we have three live Jimmy Door shows coming up.
November 12th, we're in Portland, Oregon.
November 12th, that's a Sunday.
See you in Portland.
November 6th, we're in Burbank, California at Flappers Comedy Club.
And October 16th, we're going to be at the Hollywood Improv.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all those tickets.
What's coming up on today's show?
Guess what?
The UN has agreed to investigate Saudi war crimes in Yemen, but are they really going to investigate them?
There's more than meets to the eye to this story.
We're going to go into it.
Plus, you know, we have soldiers all over the world, the United States.
I mean, we found out we have soldiers in Niger, and tragically, they're being killed.
And we're going to talk about that.
Plus, the Senate confirmed Ajit Pai to be the FCC chairman.
What does that mean for net neutrality?
It doesn't mean good things.
We're going to talk about what that means.
Plus, you know what happened in St. Louis?
Another black guy was shot by a white cop.
The cop was on his recording, was heard on his spotty cam saying he was going to kill that MFer when he caught him.
A minute later, he put five bullets into him.
The guy was unarmed.
And the cop was planting a gun in his car.
Turns out they acquitted the cop, and now they're protesting in St. Louis.
Jordan Sheraton is covering those protests.
They arrested the media.
The cops arrested the media who are covering the protests.
Jordan got picked up.
He was arrested also.
And he's going to report what he saw during that arrest and what he saw inside the prison.
Not good stuff.
Okay.
Plus, we got phone calls from Chris Christie and our first phone call ever from Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Jimmy Door Show.
I'm here with the political vigilante, Graham Elwood.
It's Graham.
Hey, Graham, how are you?
I'm good, man.
Thanks for having me.
Always good to be here.
Hey, we want to talk about this for a second.
Saudi-led naval blockade turns Yemen into a humanitarian disaster.
So I just want to let you know what's going on there.
So it is a humanitarian disaster.
And when they said Saudi-led, so that's our butt as our buddies.
Those are our pals, the Saudi, the Saudis.
And so they want control of Yemen.
And so they're killing everybody and they don't care.
And they're going to starve them.
And that's what this is.
So you see, they're trying to get water.
So they don't have fuels for their generators.
Their hospitals are out.
It's horrible what they're doing.
They don't have fuel to run their water pumps.
So the war has triggered one of the world's largest humanitarian crisis in what is already the region's poorest country.
So we're backing Saudi Arabia and selling them arms and bombs for them to go drop on one of the poorest countries in the world.
That's what we're doing.
Why?
Because Saudi Arabia and the petrodollar.
That's why.
That's what they won't tell you on CNN.
That's what they won't tell you on MSNBC.
They just say Saudi-led.
They don't say our buddies, who we give the arms to.
Same thing in the UK.
They give them sell them arms to Saudis.
So they go drop them and spread Wahhabiism all over the globe.
And they fund ISIS.
An estimated 1.8 million children are now acutely malnourished.
And with 15.7 million without access to clean water, the country has been gripped by cholera that Oxfam has said is the worst epidemic on record.
Capitalism, baby, is lawless.
So remember that.
From late April 2017 to mid-August 2017, nearly 500 children died of cholera and 200,000 fell ill from cholera, which is spread by contaminated water.
Alistair Burt, Foreign Office Minister for the Middle East and North Africa, recently told reporters at the UN that the UK government believed that Saudi Arabia was best placed to investigate war crime allegations.
Graham, you're laughing.
They're so egregious.
I have to laugh because they don't even guarantee the civil rights of the people in their own country.
They don't care.
They don't care about anything.
And then, you know, I'm looking on my phone here and I can't find any videos from the mainstream media showing all of these kids starving to death and dying.
It's weird.
It's weird, right?
It's weird when we want to get into Syria for the petrodollar for our pipeline.
All of a sudden these videos show up.
Dead babies everywhere.
Oh my God, it's crazy.
But then when we're actually creating it, then we can't seem to find them anywhere.
Can't get a picture of that stuff.
I guess the internet's down in Yemen.
The cameras only work on certain things.
But I'm a good thing the Saudis are investigating them.
I'm hiring the Bloodins and Crips to investigate the street gang problem in LA.
And in Chicago, too.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, they'll get to the bottom if they know that.
Well, here's what actually the UK government said.
Our view is that it is for the coalition itself in the first instance to conduct such investigations.
They have the best insight into their own military procedures and will be able to conduct the most thorough and conclusive investigations, he said on September 21st.
So that's exactly.
Yeah, I mean, who knows better how gangs work than gangs themselves?
I mean, Chicago hired the mob to do this investigate organized crime.
I mean, those guys know.
Capone is going to get to the bottom of that liquor selling.
Of course, look at John Gotti.
He knew he'll figure it out, Jimmy.
He'll figure it out.
So literally, this is what we say in public and with a straight phase.
This is what the West says.
We're going to let Saudi Arabia investigate the human rights violations and war crimes in Yemen.
Really?
Why do they hate us?
I don't get it.
I don't get why anyone in the Middle Eastern hates us.
Why are these terrorists coming?
I don't get it.
The UK stance on the negotiate.
Oh, so get this.
So they are having a big meeting in Geneva and they're trying to get the UN to authorize an investigation, an official investigation of what's happening in the war crimes so we can have some facts and data.
And the UK stance on the, so they were negotiating.
And the UK stance on the negotiations in Geneva came after it emerged that Saudi Arabia has investigated just 36 out of 293 allegations that it has breached international humanitarian law in Yemen, recorded by the Ministry of Defense in London.
Lobbying efforts from Saudi Arabia killed off similar moves two years ago.
While last year, Saudi Arabia had its name removed from an annual UN list of countries that kill and maim children in war.
So it was as we took them off.
They don't do that anymore.
Except they do.
It's what they're doing.
But we took them off.
Why?
Petrodollar.
So there is no morality in capitalism.
There is no morality for countries.
There's only agreements.
Okay.
And so we agree to be upset if someone does something horrible over here.
And we agree to ignore it if you do it over there.
So there is no consistency morally at all internationally.
The lack of strong action from the foreign office comes after Saudi Arabia warned countries earlier this week that support for the resolution.
There's a regular resolution, meaning they wanted to send official UN investigate.
They want to have a real investigation.
And Saudi Arabia is like, no, no, no.
They want to have them.
We'll do it.
We'll pick our guys to investigate.
And they were warning people that this could negatively affect trade and diplomatic ties with the oil-rich kingdom.
We'll cut your oil off.
That's what the mob does.
I know, Jimmy, if you don't do business, I hate to see you fall down a flight of stairs.
This is a real nice house you got here.
I think that something happened to it, huh?
Like a fire?
Oh, I got insurance, right?
Right.
You ever bump your knee, Caps?
Really hard.
That's a beautiful wife you have there.
It'd be a pity if she drove off the road on the way home.
I know.
Cars go out of a lot of light all the time.
The UK granted export licenses for more than 3.8 billion of arms sales since the start of the conflict in Yemen.
Andrew Smith, the spokesman for anti-arms trade pressure group Campaign Against Arms Trade, told the Middle Eastern this paper, I can't remember the name of it.
The UK government has been complicit in the atrocities carried out against Yemeni people, and now it is acting to stop them from getting justice.
That's the Middle East I is the name of this paper.
The UK government has been complicit in the atrocities carried out against Yemeni people, and now it's acting to stop them from getting justice.
So Saudi Arabia didn't want us to do it.
The United States is on board with Saudi Arabia.
Because Canada and the Netherlands countries were pushing for this, right?
For a war crimes investigation in Yemen.
And of course, the UK, the United States, Saudi Arabia, France are like, come on, come on.
There's nothing happening.
We're bombing, you know, like good Christians, bomb.
Yeah.
So this is why I really want to talk about this.
UN agrees to investigate alleged war crimes amid conflicts between Saudi Arabia-led coalitions and rebels.
I like how they say and rebels and Saudi Arabia-led coalitions.
Say who it is.
So, Saudi Arabia and its allies have been bombing.
I like how they say bombing the Iran-aligned Houthi movement in Yemen.
And you know how they connect those two?
Because the Houthis are Shia, and so is Iran.
That's it.
That's their connection.
They're Shia.
So the United Nations has agreed to establish a group of eminent experts.
That's the wording.
That's why it's in red.
It's important.
That's why I put it in red.
A group of eminent experts to examine all allegations of war crimes and potential human rights violations committed in the conflicts in Yemen and to identify those responsible.
Now, that sounds like a real good deal, right?
They've got a group of eminent experts.
But what were they negotiating then?
Well, the earlier version had asked for an international commission of inquiry.
That's the gold standard for human rights investigations.
We didn't get that.
So now we got some watered-down BS, which is called a group of eminent experts, as opposed to an international commission of inquiry.
And we got that watered down thanks to the good work by the people in the United States and the UK.
Because we care so much about people and war crimes.
We have a fucking torture facility still open in Guantanamo Bay.
We're still torturing people.
UN Human Rights Chief Zayed Raoul Hussein has pleaded with the council's 47 member countries to launch an independent investigation into the war, which has killed thousands, ruined the economy, and pushed millions to the brink of famine.
Millions.
Not a handful of people.
Millions of people are one of the poorest countries in the goddamn world.
The richest countries in the world have been bombing the shit out of it since 2015, and millions of those people are now facing famine.
Cholera, famine, children dying.
We don't give a shit.
Riyadh says the coalition is fighting terrorists and supporting Yemen's legitimate government.
Riyadh says the coalition is fighting.
They're terrorists.
I mean, the people who live there, yeah, they're terrorists.
Saudi Arabia is going to come in and fight terrorists in Yemen.
Why don't you go fight terrorists in your own goddamn country?
Oh, that's right, because you export terrorism.
I'm sorry, that's right.
But Zaid's office, which is the human rights office, says that Saudi-led airstrikes caused the majority of civilian casualties.
Because they don't give a shit.
No.
They don't care at all.
We pretend to have an ethical compass.
Yes, we pretend.
We pretend.
We don't really have one.
We pretend to have one.
The Saudis are just like, I don't care.
We're rich.
We have a distinct class structure.
They're poor.
They're our poor neighbors.
So we get to take and do whatever the fuck we want.
We're going to bomb them.
Yeah.
Yes.
Until they give up.
Until they give up.
A panel set up by the Saudi-led coalition to investigate civilian casualties found its airstrikes were largely justified.
Oh, the Saudi commission said it was justified.
Turns out.
Turns out it was all right.
Oh, all right.
I'm glad they investigated it.
Oh, yeah.
ExxonMobil found out that all their polluting of the Gulf, BP Oil, that said it was actually justified.
That actually helped stuff grow.
Yeah.
It was actually beneficial for the shrimp.
Yeah.
That's like when the police investigated the cop who said, I'm going to shoot that motherfucker.
Then he shot the motherfucker, was unarmed.
And they said, no, no, he didn't really mean it.
Yeah.
That's what the judge said.
He didn't really mean it.
He didn't mean it.
He did kill him, though, right?
Yeah.
He didn't have a gun, right?
Yeah.
I think he meant it.
Sounds like the thing he said he wanted to do that he did happened.
In a letter seen by one of the diplomats, Saudi Arabia, the world's biggest oil exporter, had warned some states.
This is in the other article, had warned some states of possible consequences should they support the Dutch resolution submitted jointly with Canada, calling for a full commission.
So it was Canada and the Dutch.
They were trying to get that the international body of inquiry, right?
That's the International Commission of Inquiry.
That's the gold standard.
We didn't get that.
We got a watered-down bullshit group of eminent experts.
Group of eminent experts.
Yeah, you know, I'm going to guess it's going to be somebody of Saudi Arabia's brother-in-law.
Look, the Italian Businessmen's Association is a group of legitimate business owners.
So there you go.
And it's just amazing all the shit that the article from the Independent left out.
And it's the way they report stuff.
Again, I don't know if I saw the United States naming any of this stuff, right?
No, you don't need to because you just, all you got to do is sprinkle in Iran and terrorism and boom.
All right.
So we got to bomb the Iranian terrorists that are in Yemen.
They're in Yemen.
Yeah, right?
Oh, okay.
But they had an investigation.
They had a group of eminent experts, Jimmy.
That sounds legit.
Again, free college is a pony, but bombing the poorest country in the world is not.
I mean, this is war criming all over the place.
So I can't say it's good news.
I was almost going to say, oh, it's good news they're going to invest.
It's not.
They didn't want the real inquiry.
I wonder what we could have done with that $80 billion.
You know what I mean?
What could we have done?
Nothing.
No, not single-payer healthcare.
Nothing.
Nothing like that.
Nothing.
How are you going to pay for that?
Yeah.
It's pie in the sky to forgive student loan debt.
I hate to be cynical.
I don't hate to be cynical.
I guess I do hate to be cynical, but I am now.
I mean, I've been paying close attention to the news for a little while, and it's the same thing over and over and over.
And the news media lies to you about it.
And they don't tell you the truth.
And they barely even report it.
They barely reported that all the Democrats voted Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Al Franken voted for more money than Trump asked for.
Tim Kaine.
They all voted for it.
The Democrats voted for $80 billion more.
And nobody went, no one, Al Franken didn't stand up and say, this is a travesty.
We shouldn't put this in bombs.
We pushed this in education.
No one said anything.
They voted for it.
That's your Democrats.
That's your resistance.
And then people say, oh, but Jimmy, they knew they were going to lose.
So they had.
They vote against it.
Don't you have a soul?
Don't you just want it on record that you said no?
Just disgusting.
So there's your resistance.
That's what's happening.
Look for, I'm going to guess, I'm going to guess the group of eminent experts recommends some around the edges.
You know, maybe we shouldn't drop cluster bombs anymore.
They were dropping cluster bombs in Yemen, which is a war crime.
But we didn't consider it a war crime.
Why?
Because we manufactured them here.
We manufactured cluster bombs up until about a year and a half ago in the United States.
Cluster bombs.
We literally are torturers.
We know this, and we don't punish anybody who does it.
And by the way, one of the biggest torturers, George Bush, running around, he's been rehabilitated because Trump's worse than him.
And now the Democrats are giggly over him.
We're here with Ron Placone and Steph Zamarano, the miserable liberal.
Oh, hi, Jimmy.
So this is from the Washington Post today.
Three U.S. Special Forces troops killed in Niger ambush.
I didn't know we were fighting in Niger.
Did you?
Did you know we were fighting in Niger?
I do now.
This is my first time hearing about it.
Nice to know.
So where is Niger?
So there's Niger.
Niger is just North of Nigeria, which I'm sure is confusing to anybody who lives in the region.
Because if you're from Niger, I'm pretty sure you're a Nigerian.
And if you're from Nigeria, same thing.
Pretty sure.
Anyway, Chad is right next to them.
Molly's to the left.
To their north, I mean, to their west, to the north is Libya.
Remember, we went and we liberated Libya.
We killed Qaddafi and turned it into a failed state, and now it's a haven for terrorism.
If you go a little bit further to the east, oh, look, we did the same thing over there in Iraq.
You see Iraq?
We did this, and we're trying, and we destabilized Syria.
So that's all right over here.
So we're in Niger.
We're also in Niger.
By the way, we're also over here in Somalia.
Keep that in mind.
We're helping kill these people in Yemen.
Keep that in mind.
This is where we killed that girl, Trump's first raid, right?
So we're fighting over there.
Did you know we were in the middle of Africa?
Did you know that?
So this is from the Washington Post.
Three Army Special Forces soldiers were killed in Niger in northwestern Africa after their joint patrol and Nigerian forces was ambushed.
Again, what are we doing in Niger?
We're in Niger?
Really?
I guess I'm going to bet we're helping train them to fight the terrorists that we just created in Libya.
Is that what they're doing?
I'm going to guess.
Let's see.
The United States has expanded its operations in Niger in recent years, including we've expanded our operations everywhere in recent years.
I don't know if you know, Barack Obama took two wars, made him seven.
This looks like eight, nine.
He's counting, Jimmy.
But who's counting?
But who's counting?
And let's keep this in mind.
We have over a thousand military bases around the world that we know of.
Well, we don't know about all of them because a lot of them are secret.
So I don't think this is how empires end, is it?
The United States is also, get this.
We don't have clean drinking water in Flint or East Chicago.
We have a D rating for our infrastructure.
And what are we doing?
Well, the United States is also finishing construction of an installation in Agadez, a central city in the Sahara that will move flights closer to southern Libya and northern Mali.
So we're building stuff, just not here in America.
We're going to build some stuff in Niger.
Closer proximity will allow longer flights, giving drone operators more time to monitor remote desert stretches where militants are known to traverse.
So we're just basically just carte blanching.
So we're just killing people all over the globe.
Wherever there's a terrorist, that's what this militants, militant.
Now we're just killing militants.
Well, I'm at least happy that we're really starting to put America first here.
I mean, you always see these town halls where they go into rural areas and they say, what are the issues really affecting you?
And they say, man, I wish we were in Niger so there would be closer proximity for longer flights so the drone operators would have more time.
That's really really bugging me.
Yeah.
Okay.
Okay, so you know they're green berets.
Yes.
Those are green berets.
So these are green berets, and I just, I just, I don't know what a green beret is.
So I'll tell you, Green Bay is a very special, highly specialized.
It's a very elite group.
Yes, and they have five primary missions: unconventional warfare, the original and the most important mission of special forces, foreign internal defense, special reconnaissance, direct action, and counterterrorism.
Okay, so they're doing a couple of those there.
The third special forces group, that's what they're called, and other forces are tasked with training missions in Niger to combat extremist groups in the region.
You know, there was an extremist group that invaded the country just to the north.
That extremist group was called us.
But there's other people who are extremists.
We're not extremists.
We use good Christian bombs that are made in factories by big corporations.
We don't use kitchen knives to cut your head off.
We use million-dollar bombs that blow your head off.
That's what Christians do.
Including security assistance with intelligence and reconnaissance efforts.
So we're in Niger.
Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb operates in Mali, further straining security on the border region.
So the Al-Qaeda, which we pretty much invented, the Mushahideen, which became.
Anyway, this is something.
We're in Bali.
I mean, we're in Niger.
Where aren't we?
That's the thing.
I'm going to guess.
I'm going to go back to this map of the region, and I'm going to say we are everywhere.
I'm going to guess where every, anywhere you can throw a dart, we have a base somewhere.
Don't you think?
Let's look.
Yeah, I'm sure we're in Turkey for sure.
I've been there.
I flew to Turkey on my way to Afghanistan when I was going to entertain the troops in Afghanistan.
So Turkey, Saudi Arabia, we're definitely hanging out.
Saudi Arabia, we're definitely hanging out.
I mean, come on.
You don't think we have bases in Algeria, Morocco, Mali.
Come on.
Show me a country in the world that we don't have a base.
That's what I want to know.
Yeah.
It would be a shorter list.
If you had a list of the countries where the United States doesn't have a military outpost, it would be a shorter list than the lists of the countries we do have military outposts.
So again, just so you know, the military-industrial complex is rolling right along.
There's no stop.
Doesn't matter who's president.
They just keep going.
Doesn't matter if you get a Democrat.
Doesn't matter if you get a Republican.
Doesn't matter if it's a Christian, born-again Christian, alcoholic.
Doesn't matter if it's a guy who'd never been to church, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, maniac race.
Doesn't matter.
Doesn't matter if it's a corrupt, bought out Barack Obama.
Doesn't matter who it is.
The military-industrial complex is getting what it wants.
And, you know, they're the ones who really run our foreign policies, the military-industrial complex.
It certainly isn't the citizens because the citizens don't want any part of this stuff.
The citizens don't want any part of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Niger, Libya, the Sudan, Somalia, Yemen.
We don't want any part of it.
But that doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter what we want.
We live in an oligarchy, and the oligarchies know that there's a lot of money to be made in war.
And that's why we're doing it.
Here's a great way to help support the Jimmy Dore show.
You know, we do not encourage anyone to shop at Amazon.com, but sometimes you have no choice, or sometimes you're going to anyway.
And if you're going to shop at Amazon.com anyway, we say have some of that money go to a progressive cause like the Jimmy Dore show.
So then we'll take some of that Amazon money and make videos about how horrible Amazon is.
It's a great symbiotic relationship.
So the next time you're going to buy something from Amazon, please think of the Jimmy Door show.
Go to jimmydoorcomedy.com, click on our Amazon link, and when you buy something, they send us money.
It's just that easy.
Help fight back and support the show at the same time.
Looks like we got the Honorable Chris Christie of New Jersey on the line.
Hello?
Hey, I want to tackle that guy and show them what's what.
What are you talking about?
What guy?
Don't play wise with me, hot shot.
The shooter in Vegas, the guy with the gun, or guns.
Let's not jump to conclusions here about the man.
All the facts are not in yet.
Like whether he was brainwashed by anybody with a foreign Saturday name, or maybe he was set up by a little aliens, that kind of thing.
So you would have run from the crowd all the way to the building and gone up 32 floors to confront a guy with all those weapons.
Oh, don't be a fucking idiot.
I would have taken the elevator.
Okay.
Assuming you made it that far, what would you have done next, Chris?
As the experienced district attorney, my first instinct would have been to approach the allegedly white male perpetrator with the following interrogative.
So you think you're a tough guy.
Is that it?
You a tough guy or something?
Well, you ain't no tough guy big shot.
And so on until he surrendered his Nachos.
I mean, his legally acquired arsenal of weapons.
So you don't think episodes like this call for tough gun control laws, Chris?
Look, Jimmy, sometimes bad things happen to people, and sometimes there's nothing we can do to stop it.
Do we understand each other?
Are you threatening me?
I don't know.
Am I?
That's what I'm asking you.
Right, and I'm answering you.
Follow me?
Not really.
Good, then we understand each other.
Don't get me wrong.
I feel awful for these families.
I can't imagine what this is like for them, primarily because my mind is like a butterball turkey, frozen and full of antibiotics.
I got other things to worry about, like where I see myself in five years from now.
Bobbies or Bob's big boy.
Now it's not the time to talk about doing something.
Now is the time to reflect and pray.
And in my case, nap a lot.
But didn't you support an assault weapons ban when you ran for office in 95?
And in 2014, you said you supported tough gun laws.
So I changed my mind.
You got a problem with that tough guy?
Actually, yes, I do.
So you want to dance?
Is that it?
You want to dance with me tonight?
Because I'll dance with you, big shot.
I'll fox trot all over your fucking face and dip you into the punch bowl.
You like that?
I'm just curious why you changed your mind.
It's simple.
America's not ready for gun control.
We're still in that let's kill everything that moves phase every democracy goes through.
I just don't believe that a whole bunch of new gun laws are going to change our reality.
Well, we need a less gun laws.
We need negative gun laws.
We need so many negative gun laws that even if a bunch of gun laws were passed, they'd still be canceled out by all the negative gun laws.
For instance, let's say two gun laws were passed, but there were already four negative gun laws on the books.
That would cancel out the two and leave a negative two gun laws.
That's the subtraction theorem of white terrorism.
So you just don't want to do anything.
Sometimes politicians try to give the illusion to people that they have the answer to every problem.
Gunslaughter is uniquely American, and there's nothing we can do about it.
On the other hand, take my program to stop opioid addiction.
I have a comprehensive three-part program for that.
Which is?
Two, mass incarceration.
And three, slave labor.
So tell us again how you would have dealt with the Vegas shooter.
I would have maneuvered my lock electric scooter right up to that guy so fast to invite his head screen.
Then I'd engage him in some strategic negotiating techniques I perfected during my story tenure as a jersey prosecutor.
Open up with something like, you want to dance?
The fuck you look at, Tough guy?
Hey, bring it on.
Show me some moves, dancing boy.
Yeah, you ain't so tough.
You know why?
Because I say you ain't.
And so on and so forth.
Very simple.
Quick in, quick out.
And order the next shooting incident and so on and so forth.
So you don't think there's anything this country can do to prevent these massacres?
Of course I do.
But why stop all the fun, right?
no less dates Hi, everybody.
So guess what?
Trump got his guy in at the FCC, Ajit Pai.
Senate reconfirms FCC Chairman Ajit Pai for five more years.
A big victory for your internet service provider.
So that sounds like a big loss for me, my internet service user.
Sounds like a big loss for us, right now.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, the public was not a fan of this guy.
He is adamantly anti-net neutrality, as this piece goes on to talk about, as we've talked about on this show before.
So here we go.
In a 52-41 vote on Monday, seems like a lot of people didn't vote.
The U.S. Senate reconfirmed Ajit Pai to another term on the Federal Communications Commission, all but ensuring that his efforts to deregulate the telecom industry and destroy net neutrality will carry on.
Any Democrats vote for this guy?
Four.
Yes, four Democrats did vote.
The vote to reconfirm Pai, whom President Donald Trump elevated to the role of chairman this January, fell primarily along party lines.
The Senate vote to give Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ejit Pai another term on the FCC yesterday went mostly along party lines.
But four Democrats joined the Republicans to approve Pai's renomination.
Really?
I disagree with Pai on net neutrality, but the president has a right to the chairman because he won the election, Senator Claire McCaskill said.
So she was one of them.
So Senator Claire McCaskill should be primaried and gotten rid of as hard and quickly as possible.
And there is no point to having Senator Claire McCaskill be a Democratic senator.
Because ruining net neutrality is the thing that will ruin everything for anybody besides a huge corporation.
So if you want to get screwed over in the only thing we have helping us is the internet.
That's the only thing we have going for us is the internet right now.
That's why Bernie's able to fundraise on the internet.
That's why people have a and now you want to take that away.
And Claire McCassel goes, well, I think that is bad.
I agree with you, Jimmy.
But the president should be able to screw you over, even though I'm an elected representative.
I should just go along with it.
I'm not going to fight against it.
Not going to push back.
Well, and it is interesting you bring up Bernie because this is not something any of us are going to be too happy about.
Bernie was one of the people that did not vote on this.
Bernie did not vote on this.
Nor did Menendez.
Why?
Where was he?
I don't know.
But yeah, Bernie did not vote for whatever reason.
I hope there's a reason.
I hope there was a reason.
We'll find out, I guess.
The other Democrats who voted to reconfirm Joseph Manchin, of course, Gary Peters, Democrat of Michigan, and John Tester of Montana.
Manchin and Peters said they want Pai's help with broadband deployment.
Yeah, it sounds like a big straw man.
McCain did not vote either.
Net neutrality advocates have long accused Pai of toiling on behalf of major broadband carriers to ensure a future in which the open internet no longer exists.
Those allegations.
So by the way, so Trump is such a nightmare, the Democrats can't help but go along with him.
Yeah, I mean, they're not.
He's such a nightmare.
So as Joe Joe, so I should be just as afraid of Joe Manchin as I should be, and John Tester as I should be of Trump.
So this is the problem you have when you try to scare people about Trump.
The Democrats fucking vote with him all the time.
I mean, net neutrality was the one issue where the Democrats were really walking in tow.
I mean, Al Franken made it one of his primary issues.
I mean, almost every other tweet the guy has is like pro-net neutrality.
And they, you know, still, four of them got in line for IG Pie.
Those allegations are hardly without merit.
Pai seeks to dismantle regulations that prevent internet providers like Verizon from slowing traffic to websites whenever they wish.
He's eager to roll back rules that stop providers from blocking online content at their discretion.
And he opposes restrictions on carriers that prohibit them from accepting payments to speed up websites beyond that, which their lesser competitors can afford.
This all sounds like window dressing, all that stuff.
That all sounds like bullshit.
That all sounds like he's going to get rid of net neutrality.
But here's a lot of great stuff he wants to do.
Right?
Then why get rid of net neutrality then?
If you really don't want anybody able to speed up or slow down, why get rid of it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, he entertains some fantasy that, oh, the market will just work itself out.
And Comcast told us they're okay with net neutrality.
They're going to uphold it.
They're against Title II designation so that it's assured, but they're going to uphold it just out of their own goodwill.
You know what you say?
Because they're good people there.
Yeah.
I mean, look how the free market sorted out healthcare.
Yeah.
Exactly.
It's all fixed.
You know, every time I hear that the market's going to sort itself out, really, what I hear is the market is going to fuck you.
Yes.
That is.
The regular person, you're going to be screwed.
You mean to say that the invisible hand just has a middle finger raised at you like this?
Is that what you're saying?
It seems like.
In speeches and public statements, Pai has conveyed that he has no intention of holding telecoms like ATT and Comcast accountable.
His goal instead is to give these industry giants free reign to manipulate and control the internet for their own gain under the delusion that the market will sort everything out.
In the end, to it, the past does not support Pai's perspective.
Oh, you mean history is against him?
You mean the facts and the evidence is against Pai?
Really?
That's weird.
Some guy with a pro-corporate position and his facts don't support it.
That's so weird.
It's almost like it happens every time.
To it, the past does not support Pai's perspective.
Internet providers have a long history, in fact, of curtailing online freedom and service of their stockholders.
Verizon, T-Mobile, and ATT, for example, collectively blocked 241 million consumers from using Google Wallet several years ago because the service competed with the one that each had a financial stake in.
So they had their own version of Google Wallet, which was unfortunately named the ISIS mobile wallet.
It's like when they had that diet pill, you're too young to remember.
So in the 80s.
Thank you.
In the 80s, when they had AIDS was first diagnosed, was a thing AIDS.
There was this disease before.
Now all of a sudden there was a disease called AIDS, and everybody was scared to death of it because you thought you could get it from sitting on a toilet seat and a mosquito could get and you could die like that.
It's a horrible way to die.
And it was called AIDS.
And then they had commercials literally running on TV for a diet pill called AIDS.
Get AIDS.
It'll help you lose weight.
It's literally what the commercials were.
Steph, do you remember that?
I think it was like a chocolate, like a candy that you suppress your appetite.
It helps you lose weight, AIDS.
And I bet if we looked at on YouTube, we'd find that commercial.
Anyway, so in 2012, Verizon was fined $1.25 million for blocking tethering apps because it allowed consumers to forego its obnoxious $20 tethering fee.
Five years.
So these are all examples of how the market doesn't help.
The market actually, the market corrects itself in a way that screws you.
Okay.
Five years ago, ATT blocked certain iPhone users from accessing FaceTime unless they upgraded to a more expensive data program.
So these are just real quick examples.
Just before the vote to reconfirm him passed on Monday, an online petition calling on the Senate to disavow Pai's chicanery sailed over 130,000 signatures.
So goodbye, net neutrality.
It's amazing that the Democrats will allow those Democrats to be in their Democratic caucus and vote against.
To me, that's, to me, voting against, voting to end net neutrality.
It's like voting to privatize Social Security.
Hey, I'm against privatizing Social Security, but the president gets to do what he wants.
That's what Claire McCaskill says.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, that was the same thing.
I'm not going to fight against it.
I'm not going to fight against this horrible thing I'm against.
I'm going to go along with it.
Why?
Because I have some bullshit reason.
And that's why Claire McCaskill needs to lose.
We don't need Claire McCaskill in the Senate.
We need to get rid of her, and we need to primary her.
And she's being primaried.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she's being primaried by a Justice Democrat.
So I will fight to get rid of Claire McCaskill as hard as I can.
In fact, I'm going to start making one video a week, get rid of Claire McCaskill.
How about that?
Let's go.
Yeah, no, why not?
I mean, because that's just, it's not like net neutrality is some like soft issue.
Right.
Like, it's not just like, like, it's like, well, I disagree on his goal to completely gut a medium that we need.
Right.
But, uh, but, you know, whatever.
He won.
Are you kidding?
I guess we have to give up.
I guess I have to give up.
The people who voted for me, they voted for me to go along with Trump.
That's what Claire McCaskill is saying.
The people who voted for me, Claire McCaskill, voted for me to go along with Trump because Trump won.
And now you know why the Democratic Party is a dead party.
Hey, a white cop killed a black guy who was unarmed, planted a gun on him, even said he was going to kill him before he did, and he got acquitted.
Surprise, surprise.
That happened in St. Louis, where cops kill black people, and you can't convict them.
They murder them.
They don't kill them.
They murder them.
That's what this cop did.
He murdered this guy.
That guy's name is Anthony Lamar Smith.
And he was killed by this guy.
He was murdered by that kind of maniac, that homicidal maniac.
His name is Jason Stockley.
And he was a St. Louis cop.
He was chasing him, and he said, I'm going to kill that MFer.
A minute later, he shot him five times through his car window.
And then he planted a gun in the car.
And guess what?
He's not guilty.
We live in a lawless society, whether you want to believe it or not.
And you have no protection because those are the guys who are supposed to protect you, and they're homicidal maniacs, and then the government protects them.
That's how it works.
So here's a little bit.
Jordan Sheridan was covering a protest or they're protesting in St. Louis on Highway 64.
And this was, and they got arrested.
They were arresting people.
And so did Joe Jordan Sheridan.
So what they're doing now, and if you remember in Ferguson, they targeted, they would actually shoot tear gas at the press.
They would beat up the press.
So we covered that.
So they target the press.
They're doing it again.
The first people they arrest are the press.
So here we go.
Are arresting, threatening to arrest the press here.
So there is Jordan Sheridan.
He's at a protest.
He's covering it, which is what you're supposed to do in the United States if you're a journalist.
You're supposed to cover things that happen.
He's covering it, right?
Because we have freedom of the press, First Amendment, all that stuff.
So he's covering it like you're supposed to, which is constitutionally protected.
They first arrest his cameraman, who's black, and they rough him up a little, and then they arrest Jordan, who's white.
To pepper spray people.
Why are you under arrest?
Why am I under arrest?
Why is he under arrest?
For what?
Excuse me.
Why is he under arrest?
Officer, why is he under arrest?
Do not get away.
Get away from me.
Do not face me.
He's about to pepper spray.
Did you hear what the cop said?
He says to Jordan.
Jordan's asking, Jordan's got a microphone in his hand.
He's obviously a journalist.
Why are you arresting my cameraman?
And the cop says, don't face me again.
Or he's going to chemically assault you.
Because cops just assault people now with willy-nilly, drop of a hat, and nobody cares.
So he's going to, I'm going to assault you if you face me again.
That's a cop saying that.
Is that a cop or is that a fucking Nazi saying that?
What?
Who says that to a journalist?
Don't face me again?
And he threatens them with pepper spray?
What kind of weird world are we living in?
I'll tell you what we're doing.
It's a total.
Go ahead.
It's like a villain in like a He-Man movie or something.
Like, do anything again and you will face me.
Yeah.
Okay, here we go.
You said you're going to face me again.
Do you understand?
Do not face me again, he said.
Do not face me again.
Hey, weapons on you, sir.
So he just arrested my camera guy there.
Greg?
Are you arresting people with cameras first?
No, we're arresting you.
So did you hear what he asked?
Are you arresting the people with cameras first?
Because that's what they're doing.
So the cops are lawless, criminal thugs in St. Louis.
And the media will tell you that's what they are, but that's what they are.
The cops are thugs.
They're lawless and they're criminals.
How much more do we need to be exposed about the St. Louis cops?
The Ferguson cops were the whole goddamn city was one big graft organization grafting money from the poor black people using the law using the legal process to do it, meaning extorting them.
And that's how they were, that's how they were paying their bills.
This is what cops do.
You have to understand that the police departments don't randomly pull people out of society to come be cops.
People actively seek those jobs.
Do you know what kind of people seek those jobs?
Fucking brutal assholes who don't give a shit about you, who are on a power trip.
That's who cops are.
Can we point out to the video speaks for itself, but let's just reiterate here.
The protests was 110% peaceful.
Peaceful.
Nobody was doing anything.
It was a peaceful protest, a very justified peaceful protest.
And the cops just surrounded these people.
Steve O made the analogy that I thought was very accurate.
It was like a Game of Thrones style where they kind of surround them with shields and just enclose on them.
And these are people peacefully protesting.
These are citizens.
So this happened at Wakupi.
Nobody gave a shit then.
You know, there was over a $3 million settlement for how the cops broke up Occupy Wall Street here.
They made people kneel on concrete.
They had them defecate, urinate on themselves.
Again, didn't give them the medicine, stuff like that.
This is what cops do to citizens who are peacefully protesting.
They are redressing their government for grievances.
And this is what the cops do because cops, I don't know if you know, they're not deep thinkers.
Okay?
They're not big readers.
They're not deep thinkers.
They're guys who have problems.
They're either bullies or they were bullied and they have psychological problems and the state gives them a gun.
That's who cops are.
And if you know any cops, you know I'm right.
My grandpa was a cop.
My dad was a cop.
My oldest brother was a cop.
My best friends in Chicago are cops.
I have lots of friends in LA who are cops.
They're all the same.
They're all the same.
Okay.
So now let's go.
We're actually going to interview Jordan.
I'm here with Jordan Chariton, Reporter Extraordinaire.
He's in his car on his way to break another story.
But yesterday he was covering protests in St. Louis over another police killing of a black guy.
And you were arrested.
Jordan, tell us what happened.
Yes, and from my mother watching driving to make that clear.
Okay.
Yeah, myself, cameraman Tommy Taifi Bayless in the driver's seat there.
We were covering protests here in St. Louis.
The protests have been going on for two weeks following another not guilty verdict.
Former police officer Jason Stockley was found not guilty in the shooting murder.
24-year-old African-American Anthony Lamar Smith.
Jimmy, it's crazy.
I mean, during the police chase, the officer is on tape saying, I'm going to kill this motherfucker.
You watch.
They killed him.
Somehow he was found not guilty.
So understandably, the protests here for two weeks.
Ty and I were covering a protest two nights ago on the highway.
The protesters, you know, a mix of Black Lives Matter and white allies, successfully were able to block the highway, obviously trying to obstruct traffic.
We were there doing our jobs, covering it.
We weren't part of organizing it, part of anything other than we got an address, showed up, and was on the highway.
The protesters marched on the highway, and then as police closed in on them, they marched off on ramp and then started marching on a main road.
Very quickly, the police set up almost like a kettle for around in a perfect square so that protesters would not have an exit.
And before you know it, they start closing in on not only the protesters, but they arrested first legal observers, which are there to observe what the police are doing, not supposed to be arrested.
And then they started arresting the eight journalists, including Ty and I. They arrested the legal observers and the journalists before the protesters, hence, get rid of the ears and eyes so they could do whatever they want answering.
And so why does St. Louis seem to be so unbelievably lawless when it comes to the police?
You know, I wish I could just say it's St. Louis, but I was in North Dakota, as you know, and I've been other places.
I think St. Louis is a special case.
St. Louis is a Dixiecrat state, an old Dixiecrat state.
Its origins are that of racism.
They actually have modern-day segregation now.
They have two police departments, one for the white police officers, one, excuse me, police unions, not departments.
Unions, one for white police, One for black police.
The black police had to create their own because they're so frankly disgusted with that of the white police.
This goes back, you know, more than over a century, but basically, St. Louis has been created.
You have St. Louis City and then St. Louis County, and they have created a city, a county, and separate police departments for the county versus the city.
And a lot of it has to do with creating police and local government for middle class to upper class white people and the rest of it for black people.
And go ahead.
So when you got arrested, why did they tell you they were arresting you for and did they know you were a reporter?
They told us because we were on the highway, which I responded, yeah, covering what you're doing.
It's called the First Amendment.
Didn't seem to, either they know what the First Amendment is and they don't give a crap, or they don't know.
They didn't care about that.
And by the way, this isn't the first time journalists were arrested.
They arrested someone for the St. Louis Dispatch, which is a local paper here.
It's kind of a corporate mouthpiece for the police, but they did arrest somebody from St. Louis Dispatch a week ago, and they've arrested mostly independent journalists the last two weeks here.
I don't think they knew who the Young Turks was.
This was our first protest we were covering about in regards to this not guilty verdict.
I think they know about us now.
That's for sure.
But they did not know who we were.
And I will say, Ty, my cameraman, is black.
I am white.
They cuffed him pretty hard.
He was screaming, you know, chill out, chill out.
You know, you hurt me.
Me, it was like a bed and breakfast, very pleasant.
Put us in the jail.
And, you know, honestly, they should be careful about arresting journalists because I witnessed a whole lot of things that I'm now able to report in that jail cell.
Like what?
Well, let's start with hurling racial slurs at people they arrested.
Really?
Hurling homophobic slurs at people they arrested.
There were two transgender men.
One officer in the jail said, quote, I don't know what they are, threw them in a separate cell, basically like a cage.
In my actual jail cell, there were 36 people.
The limit is 31.
One man, a young man, was basically begging for 16 hours.
That's how long we were in the jail cell for his medication.
Severe anxiety, severe depression.
He expressed if he misses one dose, he could go into a psychotic event.
They giggled at him at first and then kind of just kept passing the buck, like, oh, I'll go check on that.
And then somebody else came back and, you know, basically, they weren't going to help.
Then, because he was asking maybe too aggressively, they put him in solitary confinement.
So this is someone with clear mental illness that had the medication on him when they arrested him that they are now putting in solitary confinement.
I talked to probably 20 to 30 people in my jail cell, horror stories.
I mean, whether them repeatedly getting arrested for speeding tickets, being kept in jail for a week, people in jail permanently without even charges.
No charges, just kept in jail.
No air conditioning on the male side of the prison versus the female side of the prison.
And just really a deep-rooted racial, not just police brutality, but economic brutality in terms of poverty here.
So you wouldn't say this is a case of a bad apple.
You would say this is a case of like-minded people who are thugs and have no respect for the law, the Constitution, or the citizens?
Oh, no, this is totally the latter.
I would call this a legalized mafia, the St. Louis Police Department.
You know, the reason I was late to the interview is the mayor got back to me.
I have reached out to the mayor's office.
I've reached out to the police department.
The mayor, of course, as we hear in all these cases, oh, I support journalists, freedom of speech, and all this.
We are, I have called on the U.S. Attorney's Office for an investigation, which is a nice way of saying I'm doing something, but I'm not going to do anything.
You know what I mean?
So, but the bottom line is, the mayor doesn't need to call on for an investigation.
The police department reports to the mayor.
So, if the mayor wanted the police department to stop, A, arresting journalists for doing their job, but B, pepper spraying, macing, tear gassing protesters.
I spoke with one 17-year-old young man, a white man.
There's a lot of white support out here for the protesters, telling me he went to the doctor.
The doctor tells him he has permanent lung damage from this chemical tear gas, as we saw in Standing Rock and elsewhere.
So, we always say, oh, don't normalize Trump.
Well, attacks of the First Amendment, totally normalized.
Now, attacks on the press, totally normalized.
Now, not a new thing, not something born under Trump.
This was happening under Obama and beyond.
You say it so well all the time, but they repealed habeas corpus.
And really, if you're a journalist nowadays, it's not because tire iron rate or TYT is so great.
There's been independent journalists here before us covering this with not as big a platform as TYT.
But if journalists can't cover this and legal observers are getting arrested, that's what you call an authoritarian dictatorship because you are getting rid of the eyes and the ears so that the police can do whatever the hell they want and beat up some black kids and poor white kids.
That's what's going on.
Can you just, before I let you go, can you just tell us what were the racial epithets you heard in the jail?
I heard one police officer say the N-words.
Really?
Yep.
Okay.
Did you hear anything racially?
No, I didn't hear.
Only thing I heard was the homophobia, the homophobia sentiment with the transgender men in the jail.
But I didn't hear anything.
So did the cops just literally act like they didn't know the law and they didn't know that you were allowed to be a journalist?
They just pretended they didn't know or they didn't care.
I think the cops acted like even though we're journalists, we weren't allowed to be on the highway covering the protest.
I think the cops were almost like saying, we are equal to the protesters because we were on the highway, which is not what the First Amendment of the Constitution says.
Let me tell you something.
If that was a CNN reporter out there, a Washington Post reporter, you better damn believe they wouldn't have been arrested.
So a big thing that I think we need to stress, Jimmy, yeah, like the young church came in and that gives it some attention, but they're arresting live streamers and independent media at these protests around the country all the time.
So if you don't have the big name or the press pass from a legacy establishment bought off media, as you and I talk about all the time, you're going to jail if you want to cover these things.
And those people are generally bootstraps building their business from the ground up as you've done.
And, you know, they are under siege, and the national media is not out here.
CNN wasn't here.
New York Times, Washington Post, Associated Press, none of that.
So this is very important because if you're not going to have national media, you definitely need independent media.
And they can't be allowed to do this at will.
All right, Jordan, thanks for checking in with us.
Thanks for sticking your neck out.
And we look forward.
Now you're on your way to East Chicago right now to report on some more government malfeasance.
EPA letting everyone down, correct?
That's correct.
One year later, poor black and Latino community, lead poisoned, arsenic poisoning, bacteria poisoning, and you will be surprised to know nothing has changed.
Okay.
Jordan Cheriton, TYT, thank you very much for checking in with us, buddy.
Hey, take Ty, take care, Ty.
He says, take care.
All right.
Thank you.
Take care.
And Jimmy, real quick, one protester that was in my jail cell said, why isn't Jimmy here?
I love that man.
Huh?
Keep it real.
Yeah.
Hey, guess who needs his medicine when he's in jail?
Me.
I'll tell him.
Okay.
All right, buddy.
Take care.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Hi, Jimmy.
This is Secretary of State, Rex Killer.
Oh, hello, Mr. Secretary.
Why are you calling today?
Jimmy, I wanted to clarify some rumors that are going around regarding some dame calling I may or may not have done after President Trump gave his batshit crazy speech to the Boy Scouts of America a few months back.
Oh, right.
There's some rumors about that, all right?
Exactly.
And I felt your show was a proper platform to dispel those rumors once and for all.
Well, did you call Trump a moron?
No, I did not.
Did you call him a fucking moron?
No, I did not.
Are you sure?
Yes, I am sure.
However, I may have called him other things.
Like what?
I can't recall.
