Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
So, George, your big friend, Harvey Weinstein.
Wait, wait, first of all, no, hello.
Where are your social crazes?
Come on, babe.
Hi, George Clooney.
It's great to talk to you.
Hey, Jimmy Dore, how you doing, babe?
I'm doing good.
Listen, everybody is upset about Harvey Weinstein, and people want to hear from people like you, right?
You know, it's a tough thing for everybody involved.
Yeah, it's tough on Harvey, too.
He's not doing well.
Great.
You know, he said the other day, he said, I'm not doing okay.
It breaks my heart to see him like that because he's, you know, been such a good guy over the years.
Made so much great film.
How many times has he stood on that stage there and accepted a best picture Oscar?
A lot.
You know, and then this guy's getting just sort of pilloried out there by Rose McGowan, of all people.
Come on.
Yeah, but.
If you want to not be groped at Hollywood, definitely shave your head and be over 30.
She's got both those down.
Yeah, that's sounds horrible.
Listen.
Come on.
I see your friend Ben Affleck got in trouble.
What did Ben do now?
Did he pull another prank on Damon?
They're always pulling pranks and boners and practical jokes.
Don Cheeto get involved in this one.
Don't get in the mix.
No, it was when he grabbed a young 19-year-old actress's boob without permission on Total Request Live on MTV.
Right, that's just a practical joke.
Come on.
Yeah, I'm just saying that he admitted it, that he did it, and it was inappropriate.
He apologized.
So a lot of people.
There you go.
You know, you're doing fine if you do that.
Come on.
Just own up to it.
You're good.
But, George, don't you, you have sympathy for Harvey, but what about all the women that he just humiliated and intimidated and caused nothing but distress and anxiety?
And some of them who he actually assaulted.
You know, I mean, you know, the company's a complicated man, and a lot of complicated men have a legacy like that.
We also have to look at these women.
They're stars now because of him.
They're huge.
Yeah, but what?
I wouldn't even know how to pronounce Gwyneth Paltrow's name if it weren't for Harvey Weinstein.
You are correct.
But why does it make it okay for him to be a horrible person and a lech and a serial harass?
Not only harassment.
He's a sexual predator.
Oh, that's going a little far, don't you think?
No.
Don't you think that's a little far?
No, I don't think it's a little far.
After all, he jerked off in front of a reporter into a potted plant.
What do you call that?
Hydroponics, I think.
Yeah, I call that aggressive, and I call that predatory behavior.
Don't you think exposing yourself to a woman in a confined space to fruition is assault?
Wow, I think I might have to masturbate myself right now.
They keep describing this so vividly.
Yeah, this is all right.
You're not in front of people.
Come on, it's not the end of the world.
Okay, let's be honest here.
If I were to say to you, Jimmy Dore, you're going to have a $100 million media contract to do the Jimmy Dore show on the biggest platforms available.
If I get to jerk off in front of you, done.
Now, what would you say to that?
I already answered.
Done.
Done?
Well, there you go.
You'll be able to make that decision.
But these women have a right to make that decision, too.
Actually, you're being the sexist one.
You're removing the agency from these women.
They're making those choices just like you just made that choice.
Come on, babe.
That's how you got to look at it, is to sort of understand that as a transactional thing that these women were offered to be a part of.
So life is nothing more than one big transaction for you.
Well, I sort of liken the transaction game these days, babe.
Okay, okay.
I know.
I mean, I did make a billion dollars on tequila.
I know you made a billion dollars on a tequila company.
I know.
I like to remind you that whenever I can.
I know.
All right.
Well, listen, George, this has been a very uncomfortable call, and it hurts me to, you know, you're my hero, and you're kind of letting me down.
But I hope you do better.
And I hope Hollywood gets better, right?
Because this isn't just Harvey Weinstein.
We're kidding ourselves that we think it's just him, right?
No, it's probably just him.
It's the Jimmy Door Show.
The show for...
Up-minded, lowly-livered lefties.
The kind of people that are...
It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk to you today.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
I want to remind everybody, live Jimmy Door show, November 6th in Burbank, California, and November 12th in Portland, Oregon.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
You know, I'd bash Harvey Weinstein, but I'm still hoping he reads my vampire script.
It is shocking that people in positions of power and show business would do bad things.
It's almost like our justice system only caters to the needs of people with money or something.
That's weird, right?
Let's be honest, at this point, it's a productive week at the White House if nobody quits.
Am I right?
Did you know if you play an MSNBC news segment backwards, they talk about Dapple?
It's a true story.
That's true.
Did you hear that Bill and Hillary Clinton aren't on speaking terms with each other?
That's a rumor.
Yep, and it turns out they're only speaking to each other through lawyers.
Hillary's so determined to avoid Bill, she's been referring to him as Wisconsin.
Did you hear Hillary Clinton release the audiobook of what happened?
It's just a woman from the Game of Thrones ringing a bell and screaming shame over and over again.
Mike Dickens are the news.
That guy's so clueless about what's been going on in America over the last 50 years.
He saw the movie It and said, I wish there was some way to know what's going to happen next.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
You know, there was an airport bomber last week in the United States, literally a terrorist planning a bomb in an airport in the United States.
Did you hear about it?
We're going to tell you why you didn't hear about it.
Plus, is Trump splitting the Republican Party as predicted by a certain little radio show?
Or is he?
The answer just may surprise you.
Or will it?
Hey, just exactly where did Colin Kaepernick get the idea to kneel instead of sit during the national anthem?
The answer will definitely surprise you.
Or will it?
No, definitely will.
Plus, Jim Keating, progressive brass knuckled fighter running for Congress in New Jersey, is going to talk with us about how much time you have to spend raising money just to be viable as a congressional candidate.
That's Progressive Jim Keated.
Phone calls today.
We talked to Bill O'Reilly, Jeff Sessions.
Maybe even our favorite Vince Vaughn is going to call in.
We're not sure.
George Clooney is going to talk to us.
We got a lot of big shot people calling into the show this week.
That's coming up today and a lot, lot more on the Jimmy Dore Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Jimmy Dore Show.
I'm here with two hilarious comedians, Steve Scrovad and Laura Keitlinger.
Hello.
Now, we have a problem with terrorism.
That's what they say, but not white terrorists, right?
Because if you're a white guy, you have no affiliation with anything and there's nothing to worry about.
In fact, there was an airport bomber from last week.
You didn't hear about it, did you?
You know why?
Because he's white.
There's a guy literally here.
I'll tell you the story.
Here's a story.
What investigators eventually found in the bag, this guy takes a bag into the airport.
The security camera has him on it.
He drops a bag, and the security camera has him leaving without a bag.
So they go and they check the bag.
They have a dog sniff the bag.
The dogs, there's a bomb here.
He didn't actually say that.
No, the dog can talk.
Yeah, they get the special bomb talkers.
And so they shut down the concourse.
They shut down the airport thing.
What investigators eventually found in the bag was an AN/slash FO ammonium nitrate fuel oil explosive that, according to the criminal complaint, have been used in a number of terrorist-related incidents around the world.
When ANFO comes into contact with a flame or other ignition sources, it explodes violently.
Nails or ball bearings are often items added to the device as to increase the devastation inflicted by the explosion.
The man who planted it, it turns out, openly admitted to authorities that he was preparing to fight a war on U.S. soil and that this bomb was but one part of that war.
I didn't hear anything about this.
Did you hear about this?
This happened last week.
Where did he leave the bomb?
Because he was claimed no one would ever look for it.
Asheville Regional Airport in North Carolina is where this happened.
So this guy's openly declaring he's trying to start a war.
This is the first part of that war.
He drops a bomb at an airport.
It was placed there by a good old white man, Michael Christopher Estes.
Unlike the Las Vegas shooter, Steven Paddock, whose motive is still hard to discern, Estes wanted to be very clear that his ultimate goal was to accelerate a war on American soil.
If Estes were a young Muslim, now this is where it gets interesting.
Now, if Estes was a young Muslim, hell, if he had ever even visited a mosque in the past 25 years, that Trump would be tweeting about him right this very moment to tout how essential a Muslim ban is for American safety.
You know that's what he'd be saying, and everybody else, too.
A Muslim attacker's mugshot would become a meme across the conservative media.
Mainstream American outlets would be covering the heroic bravery of those thwarted who thwarted the terrorist plot.
We'd all be seeing footage of the perpetrator being walked from the police car to the jail, from the jail to the courtroom.
Out loud, people would talk and tweet about the man's family and friends and networks, wondering where he was radicalized and if anyone else feels the way he does.
In this case, though, crickets.
We hear nothing at all, almost exclusively, because the man who planted an improvised explosive device, just like the ones that have been used to murder and maim people all over the world, was white.
His guilt starts and stops with him.
His actions aren't an indictment of his whole faith, political outlook, and race.
White people aren't, thanks to Estes, suddenly labeled terrorists or seen as a threat to American safety in the way that would almost certainly happen had it been anybody other than a white guy.
And that is 100% true.
That is Sean King writing for the intercept.
And here's the picture from the intercept.
That's the picture that they went with.
That's the one I got.
He looks like a skinhead Nazi.
Yeah.
Is he a young guy?
He doesn't look old.
He looks under 30.
Damn.
Yeah, there he is.
That's the face of a white guy who's just a mental health issue.
He's a lone wolf.
He probably, he didn't get radicalized or nothing.
He just very upset about that haircut.
Yep.
Some therapy.
That's probably better.
That's it.
Right there, you get to see a little bit of American racism, right?
Because that's what that is.
Oh, he's a nice white guy.
He probably just has a problem.
I'm sure nobody else in his family is radicalized.
Nobody ever asks.
Where does that guy get radicalized, right?
They'll say, if they do talk to the family, they'll say, you know, he was a little depressed.
Well, okay.
Yeah.
We all get a little down.
Yeah, he's just a very disturbed young man.
Yeah.
That's all.
Yeah, that's a mental health issue.
Right.
Even with that, even with the Paddock guy in Las Vegas, that's a mental health issue.
We don't even know what the hell he was doing that for.
But nobody's asking where he was radicalized.
Nobody's asking to investigate his family.
You know what I mean?
Like what?
Yeah, with Paddock apparently was in his DNA because his father was robbed a bank.
His father had a record.
Oh, that's what they said.
That's what they're saying.
It's also weird that they don't let you speculate about the Las Vegas shooting, even though it's an open event.
Why can't you speculate about open investigations?
Like, they're shaming people immediately.
People who think there might be multiple shooters and stuff.
People who were there, part of the crowd who were victims of the shooter, some of them have pontificated.
They thought they heard other, and they just take those videos down from YouTube and stuff like that.
He wasn't a country music fan.
No.
Well, I don't understand why you, why aren't you allowed to be wrong about stuff anymore?
Like, we debated John F. Kennedy till this day.
They made movies about who actually killed him decades after he was dead.
Popular movies.
People still write books about it.
TV shows, endless about pontificating and wondering and theorizing about who killed JFK, why, how, where.
We are not allowed to do that anymore.
You are immediately shut down if you ask questions about a sensitive murder, killing, anything that's going on.
Why can't we speculate about what's happening in Las Vegas?
Isn't that weird?
Yeah, but I mean, you can if there could be, you know, a mini-series potential.
Like, I, you know, I feel, I honestly feel so bad about, you know, all the OJ mini-series and everything that's gone on because I think like the parents, you know, Ron Goldman's parents, and I think, you know, and the kids and O.J. Simpson's kids, I think this is like this nightmare never ends.
It will get ratings.
It gets people, you know, their lives are just ruined.
They can never.
They'll never be able to escape it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's funny that people say that you can't talk about certain murder victims because it'll hurt their family.
No one ever says that about OJ.
No one ever says that about Ron Goldman's family.
Nobody ever said, nobody ever said that.
It's weird.
It's only the murders they don't want you to talk about, like this Las Vegas.
I'd still, someone tell me why, you know, it's very weird, the establishment pushback against anybody who had a different version of what happened in Las Vegas.
Isn't that weird?
I don't.
If Brad Pitt agreed to play Paddock, we'd probably hear about it.
Yeah, okay.
So there you go.
There's a white terrorist leaving a bomb at an airport in the United States.
Almost doesn't get reported.
Not only is it not on the front page and it should be leading every newscast, it almost doesn't, if that was a Muslim, we would, again, there'd be mini-series in the works already about it.
You kidding me?
So that's a little taste of racism.
Anything else anybody know?
Oh, thank you for that taste erase.
I didn't realize We were doing a tasting menu.
And we've had a taste of racism, a taste of sexual predation.
Right, right.
This is quite a taste of the terrorists.
What do we clean our pallets with?
Yeah.
We're going to clean our palettes with some good old bank fraud.
All right.
All right.
So there's the worst date I've ever been on.
I hate this restaurant.
There you go.
Again, terrorism was one of the greatest gifts to the military-industrial complex.
One of the greatest gifts, not white terrorism.
That doesn't help anybody make money in the United States.
What helps people is if it's, oh, we have to be afraid of the other, the foreign, so then we spend more money on the military-industrial complex.
And there you go.
Terrorism is not a problem in the United States.
More people die slipping in the bathtub from terrorism.
It's way, way.
You know, more people have died from gun violence since 1968 in the United States than have died in all the wars the United States have fought.
So there's other things that are actually threats to our life in the United States.
Cops would be one of them.
Fucking terrorism, really low on the list.
Now, this little show that we do here went against the grain last election cycle and told people some things that they did not want to hear.
That, for one, that Trump wasn't the problem.
He was a symptom of the problem.
Neoliberalism and corporatism inside the Democratic Party is the problem.
And if Hillary Clinton got elected, it would get way worse before it ever got better.
And if Donald Trump got elected, there was a good chance that he couldn't get his agenda passed because he would split the Republican Party.
Turns out a lot of that's happening.
And the only time Trump can get stuff passed is when the Democrats join him.
The Democrats joined him when they passed an extra $700 billion on the military with no debate, no town halls, no meetings, no Sunday chats, no nothing.
The Democrats joined Trump in passing an extra $80 billion a year for the military.
That's it.
That could have wiped out all the student debt.
That could have sent everybody to college for free.
That stuff, I guess, is crazy.
Ask John Oliver.
He'll tell you it's crazy.
You can't wipe out student debt.
Although we can spend $700 billion on bombs we don't need like that without discussing it.
So the reason why I brought this up, the reason why I'm is because it is happening.
Trump is splitting the Republican Party.
And the Democrats' task is to now stick Trump to the Republicans in 2018, which they won't be able to do because they're shitty politicians, because they're paid to lose.
And so now what's happening is the New York Times.
Trump's fight with Corker jeopardizes his legislative agenda.
They already couldn't repeal Obamacare or pass their own health care plan.
They already can't do that.
The biggest thing in the world, the thing he would say would happen real fast, couldn't do it.
Trump couldn't do it.
And the Republicans couldn't do it.
So that fell.
The big legislative prize couldn't get done.
And the only time they can get horrible stuff done, it seems, is when the Democrats joined them with their Mick resistance.
This is from the New York Times.
It's about the feud between Corker and Trump.
The fruit broke out in public last week when Mr. Corker said that Mr. Trump's advisors were guarding against chaos.
The president retaliated on Sunday by saying the retiring senator didn't have the guts to run for another term.
Mr. Corker responded on Twitter an hour later saying the White House had become an adult daycare center.
He then unloaded an interview with the New York Times saying in public what many of his Republicans' colleagues say in private, that the president is dangerously erratic, treats his high office like a reality show, has to be contained by his staff, and is reckless enough to put the country on the path to World War III.
So what I said is happening.
He's having a hard time keeping a Republican coalition together.
And this sets the stage for the left to take back over government.
So Trump being president, the silver lining is that it makes it much quicker for a progressive takeover of government than if Hillary Clinton was president.
And people didn't want to hear that, Ron.
You know that, right?
People still don't want to hear it.
People still go, oh, how's that working out for you?
They didn't repeal Obamacare.
His Muslim band keeps getting turned over.
By the way, Barack Obama bombed those people and turned them into refugees.
Trump just banned them at the airport.
What did Obama have to do?
Bomb Muslims at the airport for you to be mad at him?
So again, so this is coming true for what we said.
Am I wrong about that?
So people still go, oh, see, Jimmy Door, I didn't want Trump as a president.
And people like to say that because they don't want to hear what you actually have to say because it debunks their bullshit.
And what we actually had to say is that, no, I don't want Trump president.
I wanted Jill Stein to be president.
I wanted Bernie Sanders.
They wanted Jill Stein.
Anybody but those two.
Anybody but those two.
So I didn't want that.
But we did point out on this show that a Hillary Clinton president would delay the takeover of government by the left by at least eight years.
And things will get way worse.
And the only legislation she would pass is stuff the Republicans wanted to pass anyway.
Yeah, when you live in a country where a demagogue's inevitable anyway, you have two parties that have the same owners.
So a demagogue will inevitably happen.
I say, give me an incompetent one now.
Yes.
Then a potentially competent one later.
That's exactly right, Ron.
I don't think it's rocket science.
This isn't.
Ron, you're on this show.
You see how people push back against that simple idea.
Oh, I have conversations with people my daily life that it's like they'll just go on a rant about how terrible Trump is.
I'm like, yeah.
They're like, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And I'm like, yeah.
And then they're just like, I'm like, so what's your point?
We don't disagree that Trump's a moron, but I mean, what's your point?
Right.
Again, we can all agree that Trump is a bad president and destructive without then saying, well, the alternative is to prop up a corporatist who's going to do basically the same shit.
That's not the alternative.
Okay.
So this is, I love what they say, what many Republicans say in private.
Mr. McConnell's associates were blunter in expressing their leadership's frustration with the president, President Trump, for disrupting party unity as Republicans push for tax cuts.
This was going to be hard no matter what, said Bill Piper, Mr. McConnell's former chief of staff.
And he took the guy who was one of the lynchpins of this and incinerated him for no reason.
That's what Trump's doing.
The White House spent Monday telling allies that Mr. Corker was responsible for the fight, not Mr. Trump, and that the senator was an attention-seeking extruptionist.
I know you are, but what am I?
Mr. Trump has grown frustrated by Senate Republicans.
So get this, including lashing out at Mr. McConnell for not getting the job done, his legislation to repeal Barack Obama's health care program has been repeatedly blocked.
He has engaged in open conflicts with Senators John McCain, Jeff Flake, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, among others.
Senator David Perdue of Georgia, another member of the 2014 class, has been even more outspoken in venting about fellow Republicans derailing healthcare legislation.
So it's the Republicans fighting each other, just like we predicted.
Yeah.
And Let me say something.
I used to live in Tennessee, all right, which is where Bob Corker serves.
That is the Republican hub of the Republican hub of Coke money.
I mean, it is corruption, old, good old boy, G.O.P. to the nth degree.
So, for this guy to tell you you're ridiculous, holy shit.
People are very upset that Republican senators are not backing the agenda of the president.
So, here's a guy who's back in the president as Madison, angry at the other Republicans.
Mr. Trump's former chief strategist, Stephen K. Bannon, acting in what he says is the president's interest, is organizing a rebellion against the Republican establishment and recruiting candidates to challenge incumbent senators in primaries next year.
This is what they think about President Trump behind closed doors, Mr. Bannon said on Fox News on Monday night, referring to Mr. Corker's comments and calling on the senator to resign.
Mr. Pence's chief of staff has talked about a purge of Republicans who are not loyal to Mr. Trump.
Here it is.
So, whether it happens or not, we weren't crazy to say that this was a likely outcome.
So, again, people who on the left, this last election, you were only allowed one opinion.
And if you had a different opinion, you were a bad person.
You're somebody.
They would call you every name in the bar.
You're Alex Jones.
You're this, you're that.
You're a petulant child.
You're a moron.
You don't know what's going on in politics.
You don't know.
Here it is.
Here it is.
So this is interesting.
I think it's only going to get worse for the president from here.
What do you think?
What do you both think?
I think we need to impeach him and get a competent villain like Mike Pence behind the White House.
That'll make things better.
I like his hair better.
Somebody once told me, like, when I was like, why would you want someone competent like Mike Pence instead of someone incompetent like Donald Trump when they're both equal psychopaths?
And they're like, well, Pence is an enemy that we're used to, like a George W. Bush.
Yeah, remember how the Democrats did against him?
Remember when they took over, George Bush still got everything he wanted?
Remember how they did against him?
That's great plan.
Great plan.
I think it's interesting where they said, I think there's a quote somewhere that just said they're obstructionists.
I think that's really what Republicans are when they're governing.
They don't buy themselves.
Yes.
They don't want to get anything done.
They don't want to show that government can work for the people.
No, they want to show the government can work for corporations and the money to leak.
That's exactly.
That's what their tax plan was.
That's what their health care plan was.
Their health care was a giveaway to rich people.
Their tax plans a giveaway to rich people.
Their military budgets a giveaway to more rich people.
The Democrats go along with them.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm not saying the Democrats are better.
They're all corrupted.
I mean, and who else did the Republicans think would be a better choice for all those people that were running for president?
Who out of those, what, 15, 20, 35 Republicans were more fit for this office.
Right?
Yeah.
Oh, boy.
Well, again, the people who are attacking us for saying that this would happen.
I don't understand why anyone watches their shows.
Stop the damn hammering.
Who's hammering up there?
You have insanity in my earpiece.
Hello, is this Bill O'Reilly?
I don't know.
Yes, no.
This is Lawrence O'Donnell, you chicken shit.
No, wait.
I'm Bill O'Reilly.
No, I'm Bill O'Donnell.
And I don't care who the fuck you have to call.
Stop the hammering.
No spin there.
I'm sorry.
I'll call you back if this is a bad time.
No problem.
There's never been a better time to talk to me.
What's on your mind?
And you can call me Lawrence.
Lawrence O'Donnell?
Lawrence O'Reilly.
Oh, wait.
So who are you?
Yes, that's right.
But who is this?
I thought I called Bill O'Reilly.
And you did.
I have nothing to hide.
But you just said you were Lawrence O'Donnell.
Okay, look.
You really want to know who this is?
Yes.
Then stop the hammering.
But I just wanted to talk to Mr. O'Reilly about Columbus Day.
And I just want the hammering to stop.
You know why?
Because this fucking sucks.
Because this fucking sucks.
Okay, I just wanted Bill O'Reilly's opinion on the L.A. Board of Supervisors replacing Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day.
Very simple.
Half of me is outraged that a great man like Christopher Columbus is being smeared by political correctness.
And the other half just wants that damn hammering to stop.
And whoever's responsible to be held accountable.
Lawrence O'Reilly does not get paid enough to suffer such indignities.
Four million a year isn't enough.
No.
With the added hammering, it should be five.
And if I have to keep asking where the hammering is coming from, I should get a vacation home in Miami and have the ghost of Pablo Escobar visit me every week so he can give me tips on how to sculpt my physique into the likeness of a swollen light bulb.
So can the half of you that's outraged by Indigenous Peoples Day tell me why?
Very simple.
In Los Angeles, the idea of honoring the great pioneer navigator, Christopher Columbus, will soon vanish.
Just like all those nine to ten year old girls did after he arrived.
The reason?
They think Christopher Columbus was oppressive.
Kind of like the traffic in L.A. Not bad, eh, Jimmy?
You the UF joke writers.
You should hear my airline food chunk.
Yeah, it's a great joke, Bill.
Be careful, or I might bring out my devastating arsenal of vegan jokes.
Okay, I will.
How many vegans does it take to eat a hamburger?
How many?
They're too weak to pick one up.
So basically, none.
They don't eat meat, so they're weaklings.
Hence the humor.
But lots of morbidly obese people eat meat, and they're pretty weak and have chronic illnesses as a result.
Wow.
Way to take all the funny out of my classic joke.
Didn't Leif Erikson found a Norse village in Newfoundland 500 years before Columbus arrived?
But Bill, you're completely ignoring all the horrible things Columbus did that even he recorded in his diaries and letters.
My name is Lawrence.
Stop spinning.
Indigenous on indigenous crime is something liberals never talk about.
Did you know Los Angeles traffic congestion has killed more Native Americans than Columbus ever did?
Bet you didn't know that.
You'd be shocked to learn how many Navajos were run over by Pontiacs.
But do we rename Pontiacs?
No, we still value the Pontiac Wide Track for its improved styling and better handling.
But you're talking about a car.
And you weren't?
I'm talking about human beings, Bill.
Hey, cars are people too, my friend.
Look, I'm not insensitive to the needs and emotions of our brown-skinned servant class, but they have to stop all that damn hammering.
It's oppressive.
It's been nice talking with you, Jimmy, but I never touched you.
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 Door 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.

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 Dore, patreon.com/slash Jimmy Dore.
Go there.

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.

Now let's get on to the second half.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Well, hello there, Jimmy.
And this is Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions calling you.
Hello, Mr. Attorney General.
How's Trix?
Oh, hey, now there, what kind of degenerate slang is tricked now?
Is that a code word for marijuana cigarette?
I'd hate to have you incriminate yourself over the telephone.
That could be bad news for you.
No, sir.
How's Trix is slang for how are things going?
Oh, I see.
I see.
Well, now don't get all complacent and think you've been removed from any illegal hashish use watch list that I may or may not have unconstitutionally concocted.
I'll watch myself.
Is this what you wanted to talk about, though, threatening me for using natural harmless substances?
No, no, not necessarily at the moment.
That's just more foreshadowing, really.
I wanted to call and talk to you about border security and immigration and all that jazz, which, by the way, is a very debased form of music, which should be illegal since it leads to marijuana use by its musicians and fans.
You think jazz should be illegal?
Within 100 miles of a school, yes, I do.
So yes, I do.
What do you think about hip-hop?
What is that now?
Well, never mind.
Well, what did you want to say about immigration?
I just wanted to call and underscore the great strides me and the Trump administration have been making with regards to securing our borders so as to secure the safety of our cities and communities.
And what do you mean by that?
Jimmy, I'm talking about MS-13.
Okay.
Have you heard of them?
Yes, I have.
Well, then you must know the danger they pose to the public, especially you yourself being a resident of a greater Los Angeles area.
Well, I know that they are indeed a very dangerous street gang that operate in several American cities, but some say the scope of their operations and the threat they actually pose has been exaggerated to justify political aims, especially with regards to immigration.
Oh, now, now, now, now, Jimmy, you would be wrong about that.
These are some real bad hombres to quote our great leader of a president who absolutely 100% did not give me a wet willy in both of my ears this morning.
Bad ombres?
Oh, yeah, you know it.
These banditos are coming up through our poorest borders and having an orgy of violence in our cities like they do at their quinoa parties for teenage girls.
Kids Senioras?
Oh, well, look at Speedy Gonzalez here, knowing the lingo.
Yes, that.
And now all our cities have these drug gang king pins that make Tuco from Breaking Bad look like a mariachi player to Chi Chi's happy hour.
Sir, don't you think a lot of this language might be dog whistle racism?
Oh, I love dogs.
My bloodhound Stonewall Jackson is just as sweet as little boy.
There he is.
Always does what he's told.
I even taught him to stand up for the national anthem.
You know who didn't like dogs?
Poncho Villa.
When he raided Brownsville, Texas, he shot and killed not only a bunch of white people, but also some dogs just for fun.
Is that the future you want for your children?
What future?
If we allow Mexicans to come up here with the MS-13s and then sex traffic everybody?
First of all, MS-13 is from El Salvador.
I don't care what province in Mexico they're coming from.
I care that they're coming.
You want this to get worse?
What's next?
MS-14, 15?
What about MS-17?
Okay, now, see, this just shows me that you're smoking marijuana, okay?
I've learned about this when people get high and they just count numbers to entertain themselves, and that's what you're doing, I can tell.
Okay.
All right, I got to go.
Good to talk with you, Attorney General.
I got my eye on you, Jimmy Doy, you pot-smoking maniac.
I have a special guest with us.
You've seen him on the show before.
It's Jim Keady, and he's a good friend of the show.
He's an activist.
He's a speaker.
He's a guy who puts his money where his mouth is.
He's a guy who stood up for the people after the hurricane that hit the northeastern coast.
He stood up for the people of New Jersey.
He stood up to the governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, and he's a fighter.
He's a fighter for the people.
And he's running for New Jersey's fourth district at the congressional race.
Please welcome back to the show, Jim Keated.
Hey, Jim, how are you?
I'm doing well, Jimmy.
Thanks for having me on again.
How is your campaign going, Jim?
Campaign's going great.
You know, I announced back in late February because I knew what it was going to take to dislodge this Republican that's been in office for 37 years.
Wow.
And for the first six months of my campaign, I've been doing the grassroots organizing and activism, something that I've been doing for 20 years.
But now we've seen this incredible groundswell of new activists who have come after Donald Trump was elected and have been working with them at the grassroots level on a range of different issues and starting to build political power here.
You know, in New Jersey, we're one of two states that has statewide races this year.
So I've been helping people to shape and mold that energy to push so we can win some seats at the local level, the county level, and at the state level.
And the governor went back to governor's office so that we build the foundation to take back the fighting fourth district in New Jersey for the 2018 congressional race.
And now that I've done that six months of that grassroots organizing, I'll continue to do it.
But for the next six months, I've got a real heavy focus on building the war chest that we're going to need to beat this guy.
So that's what I want to talk to you about today, Jim.
You were lamenting another good people are weary to get into this race or get into political life because of how much money you have to spend just purely raising money, which has been an eye-opener for you.
Tell us about that.
How much time of a day do you have to spend raising money as opposed to going out and actually meeting with the people?
Sure.
So when I get up in the morning and I wake up maybe six, seven o'clock, I take care of any personal stuff I got to do, get my daughter to school.
When I get back, 9 a.m., my staff is here.
I have two full-time finance people who are sitting in my home with me and we're making fundraising calls for as many hours as I can until 8 o'clock at night.
And some days we're able to do that for seven, eight, nine hours a day.
Other times life gets in the way.
Like I got to take care of my business that I run.
And I'm a middle-class, small main street business owner.
I run a tavern that my family's at for 35 years here in New Jersey.
I got to take care of my daughter.
I need to do other things like taking care of a home.
But every free moment is spent on the phone dialing for dollars.
And I don't think people realize if you've never run a race beyond, say, a local council race where you can win it with just pure shoe leather, people do not realize the time that it takes and the energy that it takes to raise the kind of money to be competitive to win a congressional race.
And it's, you know, it's a soul suck at times.
I'll be very honest.
You know, you're on the phone and the first thing you got to do is do what's called debriefing.
So I'm putting together a bunch of call sheets for the day.
So we go through my personal contacts, my business contacts, anybody that I've ever kicked a soccer ball with or any kids that I've ever coached or when I was a high school teacher, kids that I taught, and you're looking at them and you're trying to do some research and say, oh, Jimmy, yeah, Jimmy and I went to high school together.
Hey, he's running a small business.
He's got two kids.
One's in college.
So he might not have too much disposable income.
Yeah, maybe we could get him in for a $200 contribution.
And then there's a whole script to the ask.
And, you know, there's the big pause after you make the ask.
And it can be uncomfortable.
I mean, I've done this before.
So, you know, you can get into a routine of it.
But this is what our democracy, our representative democracy, has become.
We're not preparing candidates necessarily to be the best public servants they can be once they get to Congress.
It's who's the best at raising money.
So that's what we see in the leadership positions in both parties is the people who rise to the top aren't actually leaders.
They're almost anti-leaders.
Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.
They have like a repulsive personality.
No one would ever follow that person into a battle, and they wouldn't be leading anyone into a battle.
But the reason why they're leaders is because they get the most money from their corporate donors.
Chuck Schumer is a darling of Wall Street.
Mitch McConnell's a darling of the NRA and the fossil fuels and everybody, right?
So, and same thing with Nancy Pelosi, who became a hundred millionaire while she's been serving in Congress, which you're not supposed to do that.
So that, but you're explaining a real bleak reality to progressives who think they can get into politics and take it over with a good ideology and great platform, which is what we need.
But you're talking about a hard reality that no matter how much shoe leather you put into a congressional race, it is not going to make a dent against somebody who has a million dollars.
That's what I've heard it takes to run for Congress, Jim, around a million dollars, right, to be a viable candidate?
Absolutely.
Yep.
And I'm in one of the most expensive media markets in the country.
The fourth district sits in between New York and Philadelphia.
So if I wanted to do some significant television buys, you're going into the millions of dollars to want to do that.
And, you know, you mentioned about one of the leaders in the party, you know, being a multi-multi-millionaire.
More than half the Congress are millionaires.
And one of the reasons is, you know, when you think about the commitment that you have to make just for raising money, who's able to do that?
And this is where I think progressives, we need to have a real reality check.
You know, as you said, it can't just be about grit and ideology.
We are at war to win our democracy back.
Would I like for us to have publicly funded campaigns?
And each person who meets a certain threshold in terms of support gets this much in terms of tax money to run their campaign.
Yes, I would love that.
But that's not the battlefield that this war is being fought on right now.
When people in our armed forces get dropped behind enemy lines, they don't get to say, well, I wish it wasn't so muddy.
Or I wish these mountains weren't here.
Or I wish the people weren't shooting at us from over there.
You're dropped into the battlefield, you fight to win.
So the battlefield that we've been dropped into as progressives is an absolutely corrupt campaign finance system.
We've got to work within it so we can build something new in the shell of the old.
One of my heroes, my political and religious heroes, is Dorothy Day, the founder of the Catholic Work.
And that was one of her mantras was about building something new in the shell of the old.
If we want to get campaign finance reform, well, we got to help progressives like myself get elected to be able to put that in place.
If we want single-payer Medical Care for all health care, well, you got to help progressives like me to win these races so that we can have more voices fighting for that stuff on Capitol Hill.
I want to spend my time working on the issues that we're passionate about.
I'm going to give you a very concrete example.
I was on the phone today with a woman from the 4th District.
She lives in Manaswan, which is a town a few towns to the south of me here.
Her name is Sheila Blumenstock.
Sheila is a Hurricane Sandy survivor.
I went over to Sheila's home today, took a picture of it.
Now, from the outside, you would say, yeah, you know, it looks a little beat up.
You know, maybe just the homeowner doesn't have money to put a new coat of paint on.
You look inside the windows, the home is gutted to the studs.
And it's been that way for almost five years.
We're coming up on the fifth year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy.
And I was on the phone with Sheila today walking through why she still isn't back home yet.
She did everything she was told to do by the folks at FEMA at the state level.
The program is called the REM program, followed all their instructions.
She got a contractor they told her to get, and the contractor defrauded her of $50,000 of grant money.
So then she's got to jump through a bunch of hoops to try to get that grant money back because if you don't use that first chunk of Grant Marney properly, you're not going to get the other two chunks to help you rebuild.
And years and years with lawyers and different caseworkers and officials from the state, she talked to the head of the DCA.
She talked to Lieutenant Governor Gudano, who's now running for governor, called her on the phone and basically said, well, what do you want me to do?
And, you know, she was in tears at me today.
She's telling me how in the midst of all this, her best friend and sister developed esophagal cancer and passed away.
And she had to spend a big chunk of time being a caretaker for her sister, expending a lot of her savings in the process, doesn't have the money to hire high-powered attorneys and accountants to help her manage this thing.
And who's going to be her voice?
Do you think it's going to be some candidate who is holding fundraisers where it's $2,700 a pop to get in the door?
They're beholden to those big money interests once they get in.
If we want somebody like Sheila to have a voice in Washington, D.C., and if you want someone like myself to be that voice, then we as progressives need to pony up.
You got to help me to close this gap in terms of financing a campaign so I could spend eight hours a day getting Sheila back home now.
I wouldn't even wait till I got to Congress.
And if we want that, right?
You know, Jim, the last time I was on your show, the YouTube video got about 50,000 views.
And I did have a lot of progressives who got onto JimKeaty.com and they made those small dollar contributions.
And I'm thankful for that.
But here's what we need to think about.
If progressives around the United States who are watching your show, who watch this video, want a progressive like me to get into Capitol Hill and fight like hell for the things that we're passionate about, I need 50,000 progressives to go to jimkey.com and to make a $20 contribution right now.
Okay.
Well, that sounds great, Jim.
Thanks for coming on the show.
Jim Keated, he's a brass knuckle brawler progressive, and he needs your help to take over that seat in New Jersey.
So go do it.
Jim Keatie, thanks for being our guest.
Thanks, Jimmy.
Bye-bye.
What was your initial response when you saw that Colin Kaepernick sat for the national anthem?
I'll be completely honest.
My initial response was anger.
I was angry and disappointed because I grew up a Niner fan and I was pulling for this guy.
Now he just pissed on my flag.
But then I just stopped making all these judgments and tried to listen to what he's talking about.
Specifically is police brutality.
And the more I thought about it, the more I was like, I want to try to understand where he's coming from, at least someone, because I haven't walked around in his shoes, but he hasn't walked around in my boots.
You know what I mean?
So I just wrote a letter and he got a hold of it.
He contacted you?
Yeah, he contacted me.
He said he was inspired by it and he was wanting to sit down with me, you know, just have a discussion.
First thing he said when we met was, hey, I just want you to know I appreciate your service more than anything.
I expressed to him maybe there's a different way to demonstrate where you're showing more respect for those that laid down their lives for what that flag and anthem stands for.
I suggested, you know, kneeling because people kneel to pray.
You know, we'll kneel in front of a fallen brother's grave, you know, to show respect.
He said, I think that would be really powerful.
Colin Kaepernick choosing not to sit on the bench this time, but to take a knee.
The fact that he was willing to listen and go to a knee versus sitting, I thought was huge.
That's an important step that he's taking.
I think other people need to take a step too and maybe listen to him.
Cops are getting paid leave for killing people and not being held accountable.
That's not right.
I respect those men and women in uniform, but the ones that aren't doing it the right way, we need to correct it.
We need to fix it.
He's right about that.
People of color have been targeted by police.
It is an issue, and we've come a long way.
We still have a long way to go.
I think as a service member, it's more upsetting for me to come back from fighting for my country overseas to see how divided we are and how angry we are at each other.
Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners say, get that son of a off the field?
I'm more hurt by that than somebody sitting down during the anthem.
At this point, I'm just like, Mr. President, let's be presidential now and reach across to people that you don't agree with and you think are wrong and just say, you know what?
Let me hear you out.
If we have these real conversations that are uncomfortable for a lot of people is something that can unify this country.
And maybe we can come to some kind of agreement, solution, and understand that we're really not that different.
We probably want the same things at the end of the day.
Hallelujah.
So that's Matt Orfilov made that video.
I did not know that.
That is shocking.
So I just want to say that when a draft dodgy like President Trump, who also insulted American POWs, tries to pretend that someone else is being less patriotic than he is.
You know he's full of shit.
And you know now for definitely he's full of shit because that's a Green Beret who told Colin Kaepernick to take a knee out of respect.
And Donald Trump, who doesn't know the first thing about respect, and Mike Pence, who doesn't know anything about anything, those guys are clowns.
All right.
These are real deal.
That's a Green Beret.
That's Colin Kaepernick, who's putting his entire career on the line.
He's 29 years old when he put his career on the line.
Who else would put their career on the line to stand up for something?
He's not standing up for himself.
He's standing up for people who don't have a voice in our culture.
So people go, oh, he made millions of dollars and the country took care of him.
He said, shut up.
He's not speaking up for himself.
In fact, he's willing to risk losing all that stuff that he's gotten, that he's earned in this country to help other people.
So again, there's lots of people who are spending overtime trying to not understand this issue, like Mike Dika, the president, the vice president, and just about everybody on the right.
And lots of people on the left who are getting it wrong.
So I'm going to throw it over to my panel.
Did you know that, A and B?
What do you think of it?
I think Colin is amazing.
I'm really impressed.
And who would get a letter like that and say, and not think, oh, this person is kind of frightening right-wing nut?
Instead, to say, yeah, I'd like to talk to this guy.
That's so impressive.
That's a real patriot, right?
That's a guy who has an idea of what he exactly, what he was fighting for or why he was, what his service meant.
His service meant a service to the Constitution, not to the president, not to a piece of cloth, but to the idea of the Constitution, which is all the United States is.
The United States is just an idea.
And so go ahead, Steve.
I was going to say that, no, I did not know that story.
And I thought, yeah, genuflexion.
I'm a Catholic.
I grew up Catholic.
You know, it'd be like the Pope saying, here's the encyclical, you no longer genuine flight in front of the crucifixion.
You must now stand at attention and salute.
It's actually a very respectful gesture in a way.
And so it's, I don't, see, I'm also a Cleveland Browns fan.
So why the Browns did not sign Colin Kaepernick?
So he's got a better rating.
His quarterback rating, Colin Kaepernick, is better than 16 starters currently in the NFL.
It's ridiculous.
So obviously, so why do you think that the Cleveland didn't sign him?
Because it's too, they don't want the baggage.
They think it's too much baggage.
And they would rather go own five, which is what they are right now.
So I would say that their owner, I don't know.
I'm just going to guess their owner is white.
Yeah.
Jimmy Haslam.
Oh, there you go.
So they have a white owner who would rather.
The coaches, the coach is African American.
And it's the coach who has a lot of influence in that, too.
Yeah.
And I guess, I don't know.
He just wanted.
And the coach doesn't want the distraction?
I guess so.
That's what they say.
Well, in pain.
I'm surprised they haven't gotten rid of the word owner.
Well, that's a very good point, Laura, because the whole Trump fire these people, that is such a plantation mentality.
It is such a disrespect for the people who are making you your money and to say you're fired.
And I mean, if that doesn't tell you all you need to know about Trump or even Jerry Jones, and it's just a plantation mentality.
I own you now.
Mow my lawn.
Yeah, I stand up when I tell you to stand up.
By the way, they're only standing up for money.
The NFL isn't patriotic.
The NFL is taking money from the military to make their players stand because they used to not stand.
They used to stay in the locker room until the national anthem was over, but nobody's joining the military anymore because people are starting to see through it and they realize it's just bullshit wars for corporate power.
And so they started to pay money to the NFL to have pretend patriot.
That's not when you pay someone to stand, that's not patriotism.
That's a cash transaction.
We are giving money to the military to give it to the NFL to manipulate us to do propaganda on ourselves on ourselves.
So we continue to fight in these bullshit, phony wars, which are all bullshit.
They're all for corporate power and they're all for the petrol dollar.
That is it.
And we are now funding propaganda to get our own children to keep going in service of that military-industrial complex, which is disgusting.
And Colin Kaepernick standing up is the one of the few decent things that has ever come out of the fucking NFL.
And I'm not watching the NFL anymore because if you're watching the NFL, you are now enjoying watching owners and the plantation workers make money for each other.
That's all that is.
That is a racist system.
And so now, if you want to watch a bunch of white guys employ black people and shit on them, that's great.
Because they're not hiring Colin Kaepernick.
He's a much better quarterback than the people who are playing and he's not being hired.
Why is he not being hired?
Because all the owners are white.
That's why.
And all these owners who give lip service to their players, go hire Colin Kaepernick.
I don't need you to slock arms, bullshitter.
I need you to go hire Colin Kaepernick.
Jimmy, I don't think you should really sugarcoat it.
I just want you to say what you feel.
Why can't he just get to it?
Jim is so beating around the bush.
He's just well, that's it.
If those NFL owners had one, if they had any courage, if they had as much courage as Colin Kaepernick has in his little finger, they would be able to hire him because it would, it would, in fact, they would become a better football team, and maybe more people would start watching again.
Because I don't know if you know, Monday Night Football, the Bears, Chicago Bears, I wanted to watch, I did not watch.
I'm not watching, but it was the lowest rated of all football games so far on Monday night.
It was down 17%.
And why do you think that is?
Well, some of it is because of CTE.
People don't want to watch because of CTE.
I don't care about CTE.
I watch boxing.
I like MMA.
And if grown-ups want to take money to bash their heads in, I'm all for it.
That's up to you.
I don't like racism.
Okay, so that's why I stopped watching.
And so maybe if somebody had enough balls to hire Colin Kaepernick, people would start watching the NFL and then everybody actually would make more money.
Hi, is this Vince Dore?
Who is this?
Dad should be asking this question.
This is Jimmy Door.
Is this Vince Vaughan?
Yes, it is.
Why do you keep calling me?
Hi, Dad.
I know, but I just want to get your.
You're one of my favorite comedic actors, and we're both from Chicago.
So I just wanted to get you your way.
That's true.
And also, you're calling me to bother me because I represent conservative Hollywood.
Yeah.
You're just calling to harass me.
And quite frankly, I'm getting tired of it.
No, I'm just calling to get your opinion on the column.
At some point, you know what, Jimmy Door.
At some point, you got to admit this is basically just harassment that you do it.
I'm a busy man.
I would assume you are too.
Yes, I'm busy, but I always have time to talk to you, Vince.
Now, can you tell me flattering?
Can you tell me what you think?
What you're doing.
Are you going on your podcast and are you crying about things like Jimmy Kibble?
Are all politician Jimmy's going to be on TV crying?
I might cry.
Is that how this works?
I'm not exactly sure.
Listen.
You're more of a rage guy.
You don't cry.
I get it.
Yeah.
No respect.
I dig it.
Thank you.
That's more like your style, right?
Exactly.
We're from the same place.
We get it.
Yes.
So tell me what you, I just want to, I haven't talked to you about what's going on with Colin Kaepernick, and you know, I'd love to get your opinion.
Oh, for God.
Don't even get me started on that.
That drives me insane.
It's disrespectful to the flag, to soldiers, to George Washington, to everything that ever happened in this country.
So you don't think dissident.
After we've just given them everything, they make millions of dollars running up and down a field.
Whatever else could that happen?
Yeah, he's not protesting for.
I mean, they should be grateful.
I'd rate.
You know what?
I'm grateful for what I've gotten into this country.
What this country's done for me.
Sometimes I stand up and salute the flag when I'm not even supposed to.
I start seeing it to star spangled banner when I walk into a coffee shop.
Yeah, but so that's how much of a patriot I am.
Yeah, but you don't think being a dissident is being a patriot?
Don't you think Martin Luther King was a patriot?
How dare them?
There's ways to get your little fruity message across without ruining Sunday for everybody who works hard.
There's ways to do it.
Yeah, but those you know, those players aren't only out there because they're no one's looking and then have your pity fest or whatever if they're protesting.
But if you do it when no one's looking or can see, then it defeats the purpose of protesting.
You do a protest so you can raise awareness.
No, no, it fulfills the purpose for me, so I don't have to see it.
You see, that's why I prefer it done that way.
Do it that way.
I don't have to see it.
It doesn't ruin my Sunday.
Yeah, I get one Sunday a week.
I don't want to see all these guys kneeling on the field.
It makes me so bad.
I can't even watch the game.
Yeah, I don't know why that would make you mad instead of shed a tear of joy for the freedom that they have and you know that we're allowed to criticize our government and publicly protest.
I'll give you a break.
Oh, come on.
No one cares about that.
They're just doing it for attention.
For themselves.
You don't, you don't, well, I mean, Colin Kaepernick doesn't have a job anymore.
They won't hire him.
So obviously he's not doing it for himself.
Well, yeah, see, there you go.
That's what you get.
Do that stuff.
You're out of a job.
This country.
Now.
But that's the beauty of America.
Vince, we're supposed to be able to criticize our government, our elected officials.
That's the beauty of America is we kick everyone's fucking ass.
That's the beauty of America.
And don't you forget it.
