Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Yellow.
You're trying to bring the president down.
It's a plot.
Is this Bill O'Reilly?
No, it's Wink Martindale.
Of course it's Bill O'Reilly.
You won.
And Bill O'Reilly is saying it was a setup.
He was set up, man.
What are you talking about, Bill?
That evil gold star widow, Maesha Johnson.
She set up the president of the United States to make him look bad.
Explain.
She was given 24-hour notice that President Trump would call her, right?
What's that got to do with anything?
Well, you blind?
She had a whole day to figure out that the best way to make Donald Trump look rude, stupid, and uncaring was to just sit there in front of four witnesses and let him do most of the talking.
It was a setup, pure and simple.
So you're saying they set him up by letting him be himself.
That ain't the half of it, you liberal scarecrow.
On top of it, she let a member of Congress listen to the whole thing.
How dare she?
My God, this is worse than Benghazi.
Has she no sense of decency left?
But Bill, Mrs. Johnson said Trump couldn't even remember her husband's name.
That's stupid.
Her husband's name is Mr. Johnson, you idiot.
I'm talking about his first name, Bill.
His first name's Bill?
No, his name was La David.
That sounds French, not American.
Somebody should really look into that.
Aren't the French communists?
I thought you liberals would be all over that, too.
He was an American soldier, Bill, a green beret.
This is bullshit.
A total setup.
I never touched Mrs. Johnson.
And just because Fox News paid her millions of dollars doesn't mean I sexually harassed her, understand?
I think you might be mixing things up here, Bill.
Oh, I mixing things up?
Oh, yeah.
Have you ever considered that you might be the one mixing things up?
I'll admit that.
God?
You think maybe this might be God's fault?
That asshole, I'm mad at him.
He's screwing up everything.
For me, for everybody.
For Trump, I'm mad at God, Jimmy.
Oh, that's got to be a tough one for a Catholic boy like you, Bill, to be mad at God.
We all have our flaws.
We all try to be Christ-like, but we can't be as good as Christ.
And right now, that means I'm fucking mad at God.
Have you ever been mad at your dad?
Yes.
Maybe I'm being Christ-like.
I bet Christ is mad at God a lot, too.
I thought that's a good thing.
Okay.
Well, listen, Bill, I have to admit, it may be hard to keep track of stuff, but I'm pretty sure Maesha Johnson never accused you of sexual harassment.
Yeah, well, maybe not.
Maybe because God didn't set her up to lie about me like he did all those other bitches.
But anyway, that's easy for you to say.
What if I met her sometime in the past and she misinterpreted my sexual assault as non-consensual?
You see what I mean?
How can assault ever be consensual?
I don't know.
Ass lying-ass fucking God.
He seems to have all the answers.
Typical gotcha question from the lamestream press, though.
Just because Fox paid $32 million to settle a lawsuit doesn't mean crap.
$30 million is loofah change.
There's all political plot to bring me down.
Bill, why are you blaming God all of a sudden?
Well, he's in charge of shit.
Supposedly.
All these forces are rising up to drag me down to the bottom of the sea.
Who else is to blame?
I mean, no one's more powerful than I am.
The only person more powerful is God.
Stands to reason.
You can't argue, Jimmy Dore.
Okay, but what about the five other reported cases of abuse Fox News paid out settlements for that you were involved with?
Oh, come on.
Those women knew what they signed up for.
No spin there.
And besides, we have physical proof that this is bullshit.
And when I say we, I mean me.
And when I say proof, I mean the fantasy world in my mind where I live most of the day until I have to go to the post office or something.
I'm so angry at God right now.
I urge all your nerd shut-ins listening out there to check out the verifiable truth on billoreilly.com for a $5 initiation fee.
Act now and get a free fidget spinner thing.
Before I hang up, can I plug my new book, Killing Sexual Harassment?
I think you just did.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
the show for up-minded, lowly-lovered lapdies.
The kind of people that are It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk in your TV.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Want to remind you, November 6th is our next live Jimmy Door show in Burbank, California.
Go to JimmyDoorCopy.com for tickets.
But let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Hey, did you hear any stories about George H.W. Bush groping women?
There's all these stories.
hope that these stories about George H.W. Bush groping women doesn't tarnish his image as a really shitty president.
You know what I learned this weekend?
Never question a spiritual person's spirituality because they will try to kill you.
Hey, remember when the Russians got George Bush re-elected in 2004 by buying $150,000 in MySpace ads?
Pete neither.
People say Trump was mentally ill, but he didn't dedicate his campaign to elevating a mentally ill opponent to the point of electability, did he?
Damn.
You know what?
Someone said to me that any society whose established religion bases itself on a deity born from a virgin raped by a Holy Spirit will inherently be unkind and unjust to women.
Hey, you know, things are going swimmingly in Iraq when after 16 years of war, our Secretary of State still has to visit unannounced.
You know, now that Robert Mueller's investigation just linked John Podesta's brother's company to a pro-Russian propaganda group, are Mueller, the Podestas, and Hillary Clinton now Kremlin puppets?
I mean, I just can't keep track of who I'm supposed to direct my weird Russiophobic rage act.
It will be a long, long, long time before Donald Trump can ever equal the damage George W. Bush has done to this country and this world.
But go ahead.
Praise his stupid, shitty speech.
General John Kelly is Trump's chief of staff who just got done lying publicly to smear a elected representative of the people to defend a draft dodger.
That's who General Kelly is.
And let me just say, you know, General John Kelly is the logical result when both Democrats and Republicans praise a general as a moderating influence.
Here's an idea.
Hillary Clinton should be displayed in the Donald Trump presidential library, and I think you know why.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
We're going to talk about it.
The Washington Post did an investigation, and they found out that Hillary Clinton, the DNC, they were colluding with Russian government officials to get information to throw an election here in the United States.
Oh my God, that literally happened.
We're reporting it at the Jimmy Door show.
Buckle up.
Plus, Bernie's running as an independent and corporate Democrats go crazy.
Plus, censorship from the oligarchs.
It's all they have left.
We examine Chris Hedge's article.
Plus, we have hilarious comedian Judah Friedlander.
You know him from 30 Rock.
He has another great comedy special coming out on Halloween.
He's here to talk to us.
Plus, we got phone calls today from Chris Christie, Bill O'Reilly, Rick Perry, and George Good Looking Clooney.
All that, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dore Show.
So the Washington Post broke a big story about the PP dossier.
And what was the PP dossier?
That was a bunch of information that was embarrassing to Trump that the Russian government put together that they were holding over Trump that they could blackmail him with.
So that's why he's going to do the bidding of the Russians.
He's really a secret rooski.
That's this theory with Trump, right?
The story is the Russian government had dirt on Trump and then they were using it to blackmail him.
The big question was who funded the dossier?
Well, guess what?
The people from the company, Fusion GPS, who did this document, who hired the spy, they wouldn't testify.
They wouldn't say who funded them.
They wouldn't say, oh, well, that's not suspicious.
The Clinton campaign was asked if they funded it.
They said no vehemently.
The DNC was asked if they funded it.
They said no.
Well, the Washington Post put this in the paper yesterday.
Turns out Clinton campaign, DNC paid for research that led to Russian dossier.
There it is, baby.
The DNC is lying to you about Russia.
Hillary Clinton's campaign is lying to you about Russia.
And these are the people you're going to take their word for it.
They never let the FBI or the DHS look at their servers still to this day.
They haven't let them look at their servers.
And now they're lying to you 100 miles an hour at the top of their lungs about the most important thing in the world, Kenneth B. Vogel.
He tried to report this story that the Clintons and the DNC were funding the dossier.
He tried to report this story.
And what happened?
A Clinton campaign lawyer pushed back vigorously saying, you are wrong.
So they lied and tried to spur the story.
This is, there's Maggie Haberman from the New York Times.
Folks involved in funding this, meaning the dossier, lied about it and with sanctimony for a year.
Elliot, that's the Clinton lawyer, and his law firm, Perkins Coy, retained the company in April 2016 on behalf of the Clinton campaign and the DNC.
So they're lying, lying, lying.
If it's all true, why do you have to lie?
If Trump really did that, why do you have to lie?
Before that agreement, Fusion GPS's research into Trump was funded by an unknown Republican client during the GOP primary.
So opposition research, people who wanted to take Trump down, hired this company, go pay people to tell you negative stuff about Donald Trump.
And as soon as he won the primary, they stopped paying.
That's when Hillary Clinton, the DNC, went, we'll keep paying you.
Go pay more people to find out dirty stuff about Trump.
And the Clinton campaign and the DNC through the law firm continued to fund Fusion's GPS research through the end of October 2016, days before the election.
So they did it from April till the election.
They lied to you that whole time.
Over objections from Democrats, the Republican leader of the House Intelligence Committee, Reprend Devin Newtons, subpoenaed Fusion's GPS bank records to try and identify the mystery client.
So they're the republic over objections from Democrats.
So they're doing an investigation in Congress.
They want to find out who funded this dossier, which seems like everyone has the right to know.
And the Democrats tried to block it.
So they're not trying to block that information from the Republicans.
They're trying to block that information from you.
The Democrats don't want you to know that they funded this.
Who are the sources in the dossier?
So that's the important thing, right?
Who are the sources?
So they got Steele, who's a spy for UK, retired spy, Fusion GPS, Clinton campaign, DNC, hire Fusion GPS.
They hire Steele.
He's a spy.
He then contacts people inside the Russian government.
Well, let's see who his sources are because he put the dossier together.
Who's his sources?
His first source, source A, it says right here, source A, to use the careful nomenclature of his dossier, was a senior Russian foreign ministry figure.
A senior.
So Ron, do you know what this means?
That a senior Russian official in the government gave dirt information to someone working for Hillary Clinton and the DNC.
So they're getting negative research from the Russian government to smear a political opponent and throw an election inside the United States.
That's literally what just happened.
Guess who else was their source B?
Source B was a former top-level intelligence officer still active in the Kremlin.
So the people who are giving dirt on Donald Trump worked for the Russian government.
I thought they wanted Donald Trump.
Well, wait a minute, Ron.
I thought the accusation against Donald Trump was that he was working.
Well, let's see.
What was the accusation?
Here's Chris Hayes talking to the former press secretary in the White House.
And he's going to ask him, remember when Donald Trump Jr. went and met with that Russian operative to get, they thought dirt on Hillary Clinton from a Russian?
That was probably, that looks like more and more, like it was a setup so they could do this.
So he went to, so this is when that happened.
Remember he released the emails?
Remember Don Trump Jr. released his emails because they knew we were going to come out anyway, where he set up that meeting to go get dirt on Hillary Clinton from a Russian and literally from a Russian.
It wasn't somebody that worked directly.
Right.
It was just a lawyer, a lawyer, a Russian lawyer.
So here is what they're here.
They're going to talk about that.
And listen to what they say.
How surprised are you by A, the existence of this email and B, the argument that the White House and the president of the United States has now adopted that it's not a big deal?
Well, Chris, I think at every turn we're surprised.
And then after reading the news story about it, sort of disappointed in ourselves that we're surprised about what has transpired because in some ways it's utterly predictable.
Is it particularly surprising that there is somebody with close ties to the Kremlin that was seeking to back channel with the Trump campaign to try to damage Hillary Clinton?
Switch the names.
Is it surprising that there was someone inside the Kremlin working closely with the Clinton campaign to get negative information to smear Donald Trump with it?
So that very thing they're accusing Donald Trump of doing, we now know the Clinton campaign and the DNC did.
So this thing that everybody was pulling their hair out over and saying this guy should be brung up for treason, turns out the former Secretary of State doing the same thing.
Turns out that Donna Brazil doing the same thing at the DNC.
Isn't that something?
The thing that they've been accusing Trump of doing all this time, They've actually been doing themselves.
They've been working with people inside the Kremlin to get dirt on a political opponent in an election in the United States.
Did Trump do the same thing?
I don't know.
Doesn't matter now because the fucking Clintons and the DNC did the same thing.
What did they do again?
Particularly surprising that there is somebody with close ties to the Kremlin that was seeking to back channel with the Trump campaign to try to damage Hillary Clinton.
Is it surprising that somebody inside the Kremlin was working to back channel information to the Clinton campaign to damage Donald Trump?
Because that's exactly what happened.
And so the DNC said the Russians hacked their servers, except the thing they've been saying, the exact opposite happened.
And they say the Russians hacked their servers, but you know what?
They never let anybody examine their servers.
The FBI or the DHS examined their servers.
And now you're going to take their word?
The liars at the DNC?
You're going to believe they're liars.
But they've lied about Russia.
Not again, not to the Republicans.
They lied to you.
So Ron, let's, by the way, and we were right about this.
We've been right about this all along at this place, at this show and at the aggressive progressives.
And we've been roundly shunned.
We've been roundly criticized, smeared.
We've been soundly insulted, dismissed.
People said it's right in front of our face.
Here it is.
I knew these people were working with the Russians.
Barack Obama made fun of Mitt Romney in 2012, saying they're not our geopolitical foe.
We work with them.
They're all working with them.
John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, working for the Russians.
Not only working for the Russians, but Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta's foundation, was working with Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager.
John Podesta's PR firm that he founded got a million dollars funneled to them from Paul Manafort, Trump's campaign manager.
That money came from pro-Russia government.
What do you think about that?
It's all big club, baby.
So, Ron, go ahead.
I'm sorry.
I cut you off.
I mean, this is just, it's one of those things people like, well, Trump isn't acting like an innocent party.
And I'd always be like, well, of course he's not because he's an oligarch and he probably has shady business dealings with Russia.
Yeah.
But that's a whole separate thing.
And if they were looking into other oligarchs, those oligarchs would be nervous too.
I despise Trump as much as the next person, but I'm not going to let Trump take away my critical thinking skills because then I'm going to lose a lot more than my affordable health insurance.
Way to go.
And Jimmy, we talked about this.
Like every time Trump would turn and say, you lie, Hillary.
Yeah.
Lying, Hillary.
He knew what was going on.
He knew what was going on.
Like, you know what?
You know, I'm busy building golf courses and hotels, plastering gold Trump's all over them.
But whatever you think I'm participating in, I think you are.
So we've showed you this before.
This is from WikiLeaks.
This is an internal document generated by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It was an internal poll done by Peter Brodnitz, and it was Hillary Clinton for president consultant team.
And what did they find out?
When they did a poll, they found out that Hillary Clinton's biggest vulnerability was, as tested in the polls, the attack that claims as Secretary of State, she signed off on a deal that gave the Russian government control of 20% of America's uranium production after investors in the deal donated over $140 million to the Clinton Foundation.
That's from that document from WikiLeaks.
So that was a big vulnerability for her.
And what does Machiavelli tell you to do?
You take your biggest vulnerability, you throw it on your opponent.
That's exactly what they did.
So her biggest vulnerability, going to throw it on Trump.
And when did they come up with the idea?
Here it is.
The date on this is December 2015.
And if you look at the, but this is also from WikiLeaks.
And if you look at the bottom, this is to John Podesta.
The advice, the advice at the bottom right here was best approach is to slaughter Donald for his bromance with Putin, but not go too far betting on Putin, R.E. Syria.
The dossier drops a month later.
And when did they come up with the idea to keep going like this?
They say he worked with the Russians to hack their servers.
This is from the book Shattered.
The strategy to go after Trump as a Russian puppet, that strategy had been set within 24 hours after her concession speech.
Robbie Mook and John Podesta assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn't entirely on the up and up.
For a couple of hours with Shake Shack containers littering the room, they went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public.
Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.
So I'm showing you an internal document from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
They know her biggest vulnerability is her Russian connection.
That's her biggest vulnerability.
And by the way, it looks like corruption.
They got $140 million plus Bill got a half a million dollars personally in his pocket.
That looks corrupt because it is.
Well, Jimmy, I want to point out, like, I read Shattered and a few paragraphs like before that one.
They basically said, this all came to fruition because Hillary was just pitching a fit, like right after she lost.
Like she was just going nuts and she was just like, Russia had more to do with this.
So then they went to shit.
That was an excellent impression of Hillary by the host.
I've been working on it.
And let's remember what Dylan Radigan tells.
Now, Dylan Radigan, straight shooter, award-winning financial reporter.
Here's what he has to say.
The Democrats want you to believe that their party is, of course, wonderful and fabulous and wants to help save the world and all the rest of this.
And they want you to believe that the only problem with the American political system is the Republicans and more importantly, the corruption of the American political system and the Republicans by the Russians.
This, of course, would be the most horrible thing that could come from the current political situation.
Because if we allow the Democratic Party to convince anybody, ridiculous, they've even convinced themselves, that the primary issue with the American political process is Donald Trump and the Republicans, that validates their capacity to sustain themselves in a disgusting and corrupt fashion.
The reality is, the only reason we have Donald Trump as our president and these horrendous Republicans is because of the unadulterated failure and corruption in the Democratic Party.
Think about how bad, how unappealing, how offensive Barack Obama and ultimately Hillary Clinton had to be to the American population in order for them to even remotely begin to choose someone like Donald Trump as a better alternative.
Think about it.
How bad people have to view the level of corruption in the Democratic Party to think of Donald Trump as a remotely preferable alternative?
Donald Trump is terrible.
The Republicans are offensive beyond comprehension.
But the solution is not the Democrats.
The solution is a final terminal bypass of these two utterly corrupt political parties.
And the Democrats are desperately fighting to try to convince you and everybody else that the only problem is the Republicans and Trump and that they are quite actually perfect in their own way when they are the ones who are the biggest contributors to the Trump campaign and the Trump problem.
So there you go.
He's letting you know.
So this is from November 20th.
This is after the election last year, November 20th.
Obama met with Putin.
Didn't bring up the election meddling.
Isn't that interesting?
Doesn't bring up the, he didn't bring it up.
Maybe Barack Obama knows something.
Maybe Barack Obama knows it's bullshit and we should get past this.
And let's move on.
Well, what did he say?
He says that's behind us.
That's what Barack Obama said.
November 20th, Barack Obama said that's behind us.
Obama told reporters during a press conference at the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Peru.
He said on Sunday that he was more Concerned with the general misinformation from both domestic and foreign sources, suddenly referencing recent reports of fake news circulating.
So he's more concerned with fake news on Facebook than he was with Donald Trump colluding with the Russians.
That's Barack Obama.
Is he a Putin bot too?
Is he a Kremlin puppet?
That's Barack Obama.
Is he a Kremlin puppet?
Because he's saying the same shit we were saying.
Here's Dylan Radigan one more time.
Well, the FBI director example gives those with a partisan view against Donald Trump, and it's easy to be against Donald Trump.
The obvious fuel to suggest that he's a criminal who's ought to be a terrible guy, blah, blah, blah, under investigation.
Probably true.
But if you believe that, then you probably also need to consider that Hillary Clinton was taking money through her foundation to do weapons deals overseas while personally enriching herself.
And that Barack Obama is paid off by the private health insurance companies and the banks to make sure that we don't actually have proper health care or a functioning financial system.
It's hard to believe one and not accept the other two.
Just remember, they don't really hate each other.
They're all in a big club together.
They go to each other's weddings.
Their kids are best friends.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
And they're lying to you.
The Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, they're lying to you.
They're not lying to the Russians.
They're not lying to someone else, to Trump, because Trump knows the real story.
They're lying to you.
And why is this?
What is this all about?
This is about Hillary Clinton losing an election and not being able to take her lumps.
That's what this is.
This is about, you remember how people would turn into Sean Hannity just to hear him say something mean and dirty about Barack Obama?
Now people do that about Trump with Rachel Madow.
Exactly the same thing.
Here's what happened, why this is all going on, because the Democrats turned their back on workers.
How do I know it?
This is their campaign strategy.
For every blue-collar Democrat we will lose in Western PA, we will pick up two, three moderate Republicans in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
And you can repeat that in Ohio and Illinois and Wisconsin.
I think Chuck's got to get a new eight ball.
What he had to really suck.
So it turns out the people who screwed with our election are the Koch brothers and Wall Street and Goldman Sachs and Exxon and all the corporations.
And how about all the voter suppression that happens?
How about cross-check?
There's real, oh, by the way, you know who else screwed with our elections?
Turns out it was the Board of Elections in New York.
We're going to admit they purged more than 200,000 voters from the city rolls in Brooklyn.
After many Brooklyn residents arrived at the polls during last year's presidential primary to learn they were deemed ineligible to vote, the good government group Common Cause New York filed suit.
State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman and Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office joined the litigation.
Do you want to know who's screwing with our elections?
It's criminals inside the United States working for our own goddamn government.
New York City's Board of Elections will acknowledge it broke the law.
I wonder who's going to go to jail.
I wonder who goes to jail.
Do you think anybody's going to go to jail?
I'm going to guess nobody.
Well, unless they had some low-level employees, they might take the fall or lose their jobs.
Some guy who drove the box over to another place.
Yeah, he'll get fired.
I hope so.
New York City's Board of Elections will acknowledge it broke the law and be making serious changes in its practices according to a proposed settlement of legal fight over the purge of more than 200,000 voters from city roles.
In a statement, Schneiderman said the city's board of elections illegally, not accidentally, illegally purged over 200,000 New Yorkers from their roles, violating the law and New Yorkers' trust in the institutions meant to protect their rights.
Well, can we give a second to shout out the DNC's response to all this too?
Like, oh, we know nothing about this, but Russia is trying to hijack our democracy.
P.S., the superdelegates aren't going anywhere.
Speaking of democracy, superdelegates are here to stay.
That's pretty much what the DNC has been saying in response to all of this.
Well, here's what they also said.
New leadership not involved.
How about the old leadership, though?
They're super involved.
The old leadership was the one that you're keeping around?
The one you disappointed to the rules committee?
You're keeping that one around?
Oh, it wasn't us.
Not sorry.
So let's hear this statement.
Tom Perez and the new leadership of the DNC were not involved in any decision-making regarding Fusion GPS, nor were they aware that Perkins Coe was working with the organization.
But let's be clear, there is a serious federal investigation into the Trump campaign's ties to Russia.
And the American public deserves to know what happened.
What just happened, Ron, is that what was just proven was that the Hillary Clinton campaign was working with people inside the Russian government to get dirt on a political opponent in the presidential grace.
They paid Fusion GPS who hired a spy who got Russian government officials to give dirt on Donald Trump.
That's who's working in collusion with the Russians, ladies and gentlemen.
Is Donald Trump also?
Maybe.
Now it doesn't matter, does it?
I'm surprised they didn't end that statement with P.S. by the book.
The American people deserve to know what happened, P.S. P.S. By the Book.
For Zell now.
We tell you in the book.
And just so you know, remember that story I told you about earlier?
Mueller now investigating Democratic lobbyist Tony Podesta.
Mueller.
So Tony Podesta is John Podesta's brother.
They started him and John Podesta is Hillary Clinton's campaign manager.
They founded the Podesta Group.
The Podesta Group was working for Trump's campaign manager, Mueller, for pro-Russian forces inside the Ukraine.
Mueller funneled over a million dollars to the Podesta group.
That's the group that Hillary Clinton's campaign manager founded.
Trump's campaign manager funneled a million dollars in pro-Russian money to Hillary Clinton's campaign managers, PR firm that he founded.
Isn't that amazing?
And now you know the rest of the mother effing story.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
And just like I said, anything that Donald Trump has done, the Clints have done worse.
A lot of people don't want to say that.
Well, Donald Trump hasn't been, wasn't the president for eight years and he wasn't the Secretary of State and he wasn't a senator.
So he didn't have opportunity to do, I'm not saying he wouldn't do horrible things.
I'm saying he didn't have the opportunity.
He didn't have an opportunity to give 20% of our uranium production to Russia and get $140 million for it.
Just like what Dylan Radigan said.
If you believe that Trump was, you have to believe they were.
You can't believe one and not believe the other.
A lot of people do.
That makes them inconsistent partisan hacks.
Like everybody at MSNBC.
That's what that makes them.
Okay, well, I wanted to come out and gloat.
Ron, so I'm gloating now.
This is what I look like when I'm gloating.
Did Trump work with the Russians too?
Who knows?
Doesn't matter now.
Did the Russians hack the DNC server?
We will never, ever know because they won't let the lying DNC, who already lied about this, won't let anybody investigate their server.
Won't let the FBI or the DHS.
So they're liars.
John Podesta, same thing.
So, and by the way, and we were on this.
We were on the Uranium One deal.
Like, if you want someone who has close ties, I'll show you somebody who has close ties.
It's the Clinton Foundation and the DNC.
Literally doing exactly what they've been accusing Donald Tynahance Trump of doing all this time.
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 Dore show.

Governor Chris Christie?
In the flesh, Ace.
I'm surprised you're taking the time to call me when you're so busy getting yelled at by Donald Trump.
What?
Oh, yeah.
Don't worry about it.
I don't got to explain nothing to you, wise guy.
Get me?
You ain't the slick cracker jacket you think you are.
You hear me?
You're just some little guy with a big head and a tight suit.
Sure, Donald Trump gets mad at me at times.
He yells at me at times, but he respects me.
Guess whom I don't respect?
Me?
You choker man, because you're just a little guy in a tight suit trying to oppress his girl.
Okay, so as long as you're all right with Donald Trump yelling at you, I could take care of myself.
I don't need no protection.
I mean, I used to yell back at him, but now that I'm in charge of the opioid crisis, he rarely withholds Oreos from me.
You like Oreo Scooter?
I used to, but now I'm trying to cut down on the sugar.
Big shot, tough guy, stud can't eat no sugar now.
Is that it, champ?
It's probably best for my health, yes.
You don't scare me.
Tough guy stud, big shot, little guy in a tight suit.
You ain't nothing but a fake Newton wrapped in tissue paper.
Soft and crumbly like your little pretty fig jelly face.
But there's no need to worry because this is your lucky day, Mr. Beefcake.
Because I'm in an unusually reflective mood.
And I'm going to tell you why I shut down the New Jersey state government.
And then you're going to get down on your knees and beg my forgiveness.
Okay, why'd you shut down the state government?
Because they were a bunch of loser pip squeaks.
That's why hopping up and down and on the kitchen chair like Granny used to when she saw a mouse.
Eek a mouse.
Is that what you are, pip squeak?
Come out of your little old pip squeak and face the music.
You ain't dubbed the little granny pip squeak.
Little Granny Pip Squeak is your name.
What's your name?
Little Granny Pipsqueak.
Louder.
Little Granny Pipsqueak.
And what are you going to do tonight?
Hop up and down on my kitchen chair because I saw a mouse.
You're trying to be funny with me?
Nobody gets funny with me.
No why?
Because I'm the one who gets funny with you.
And I tell you what, you're not.
The funny one.
You're not funny.
You think you're funny, but you're not.
I'm funny.
Who's funny?
You are.
Shut up.
So this is you being unusually reflective?
You ain't so smart.
You think you're smart, but you ain't smart.
You're just small fry.
I'm Big Fry.
You're Small Fry.
What are you?
Small Fry.
Come again.
Small Fry.
Wrong.
You're worse than Small Fry because you're a nobody.
I'm somebody.
Harry Kitchener once begged me to run for president against Barack Obama.
And what happened?
I demoured.
Nobody demours like me.
Understand?
Pip squeak.
Go ahead.
Ask me to run for president against Obama.
Okay, will you run for president against Barack Obama?
I demur.
You fucking stud.
I demur.
No why?
Why?
Because I'm the outspoken teller like this guy.
You're not.
You're the quiet teller like it isn't Cracker Jack.
Nobody, Small Fry, Pip Squeak, big shot, fake Newton rat in a tissue paper and a tight suit.
Bye.
Bye.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
We're here with Mark Thompson, Emmy Award winner and host of the Edge podcast.
Also here with the miserable liberal Steph Sabarado.
Hello.
Hello.
So Bernie Sanders is running for Senate.
Now, when he ran for president, he did so in the Democratic primary because the Democratic Party has an infrastructure, right?
So you need an infrastructure.
You need to be able to get ballot access and all that stuff, which is why he chose one of the two major parties to do it.
And the reason why you almost have to do that is because they've rigged the laws in the United States so that we only have two viable parties.
And they don't, in fact, even in the when we have debates, they exclude the Green Party.
They exclude the Libertarians.
They exclude the socialists.
They exclude the Democratic Socialists.
They exclude everybody except the two corporate-approved parties.
So Bernie had to run as a Democrat, and he promised that if he won the nomination, he would serve as a Democrat.
Well, he is currently elected in Vermont as an independent.
So the people who voted for him for Senate voted for him as an independent.
So when he goes to run again as a senator, he's going to run again as an independent.
That makes sense, right?
Okay.
So the corporate Democrats, they love to say he's not a Democrat.
And then they say, why isn't he a Democrat?
Like they hate him, but they'll use it as a cudgel to hit him with either way.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
So to the DNC's chagrin, Bernie Sanders will seek re-election as an independent.
This is by Michael Sinato.
On October 22nd, Senator Bernie Sanders confirmed in an interview with Fox News that he plans to run for re-election as an independent in 2018, despite the Democratic Party pressuring him to run as a Democrat.
Last week, the Democratic National Committee rejected a resolution that urged Sanders to formally, they had a resolution.
They had a resolution that urged Sanders to formally join the Democratic Party ahead of his bid for re-election in 2018.
The resolution, which was proposed by the DNC member, who has opposed several progressive reforms, is the result of a widespread criticism of Sanders for maintaining his independence.
So Bob Maholland came up with that resolution that was trying to make Bernie run as a Democrat, but the DNC rejected that resolution.
Party lines are more fluid in Vermont because there is no party registration in the state.
Oh, so that's also a big reason why he gets to run as an independent.
Democrats in Vermont perceive Sanders as a political asset, not a liability.
It would benefit Democrats across the country to do the same.
Yes, it would.
They see Bernie Sanders as an electoral positive.
The Democrats know that he's electoral positive, but they also know that if he and his progressive ilk actually get elected, it's the end of their corporate Democrat gravy train.
So Tom Perez is installed at the DNC chairman at the behest of the donors, not the behest of the voters.
The voters wanted Keith Ellison.
The donors wanted Tom Perez.
Why?
Because Tom Perez is going to keep it exactly the same.
He's also going to keep the budget for the DNC opaque instead of transparent.
So let's say the DNC spends a billion dollars in the next election cycle.
Let's say if they get 20%, that's $200 million that the consultants would get.
Those are the people running the party.
Those are the people who are smearing people who want to reform the Democratic Party.
Those are the people who are smearing the people on the Democratic Unity Commission who want to reform the rules.
Those are the people, the people getting $200 million plus because the way the system is set up right now.
And then all those people, they get jobs, right?
They get jobs as consultants.
So everybody wants to eventually leave politics to cash in.
Or if you're a super criminal, you just cash in as you're already in office.
Like, I think it was Harry Truman who said the only people who get rich while in office are criminals.
Nancy Pelosi became a hundred millionaire while she's been in office.
Just keep that in mind.
That's the kind of things that are happening at the DNC right now.
Those are the people who chose Tom Perez.
And still people want, why don't you run as a Democrat?
Bernie should run as a third party and screw him so hard because he should screw them as hard as they screwed him.
Because by the way, to me, I think that's the only way the Democratic Party is not changing from the inside.
You know, if the Justice Democrats could get rid of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Steny Hoyer, you know, most of the leadership and somehow get rid of, then yes, I think that would be great.
Then maybe we could take over this party.
Hey, I don't know.
Maybe, maybe the Democrats can take over the party.
I think that the way to go is a third party, and then you crush the Democrats.
Because right now they're still wagging their fingers at progressives instead of coming to get your vote.
To me, that's the craziest thing in the world.
You're supposed to, if you need votes, you're supposed to go campaign for those votes, meaning you're supposed to go woo people, promise them stuff, tell them why it would be better for them to vote for you.
Hillary Clinton didn't do that.
And the Democratic National Committee doesn't do that for progressives.
They go, you vote for us or else, or else we will smear you and slander you forever.
Certainly, there are a couple of things that it's a lot to ask Bernie Sanders to somehow come over to the Democrats who essentially colluded to keep him out of a legitimate run for the presidency.
I mean, so this same party politics that we saw played out during the Sanders campaign alongside Hillary Clinton is being played out now, as you, I think, so correctly point out.
It's a two-party system.
It's set up as a two-party system.
You think you also correctly point out, Jimmy, that the system is so designed to keep two parties in place.
And the other thing, we're not discussing it right now, but I know you discussed it on the show, is that the parties are oddly becoming sort of the right is moving further right and the left is moving further right.
And, you know, if ever there was a place for a real progressive party, I mean, even if it was centrist, it would be somewhat progressive relative to the other two.
The system I thought was going to get a punch in the face, the Democratic side of the ball following the election, to be so repudiated the party politics on the level that they were.
I thought that would be forced.
And everyone was thinking, well, they're going to have to change things.
Like super delegates are going to have to be reconsidered.
And as you so correctly say, they're not changing anything.
In fact, they're tightening their corporate hammer lock.
Yeah.
The donors have a hammer lock on the party still, which is why they all say Kamala Harris, then nobody says Tulsi Gabbard.
Even though Tulsi Gabbard is the person who could get right-wing votes, because she's a military person who speaks honestly about foreign policy, a lot of right-wingers are non-interventionists.
That's why a lot of people voted for Trump.
So it's just amazing.
The donors don't want Tulsi because she's about getting money out of politics and they are not letting go of the money on politics.
Here's Peter Douche.
I mean, Peter Dow, that Peter Douche is actually the funny one.
Sanders refused.
So Kyle Griffin, we know him.
We feature his tweets on it.
He's a producer for the Lawrence O'Donnell show on MSNBC.
They both seem like fine people, although MSNBC is shit.
Sanders refused to join a party his diehards insist he leads.
It would be amusing if he hadn't helped elect Trump.
So Kyle gives a little bit of a disingenuous tweet because he says Bernie Sanders to run for re-election as an independent, he said he'd run in future elections as a Democrat in 15.
That's a little bit disingenuous.
He said he'd run for president.
So it's weird.
It's weird when you have to like kind of shade facts to try to make a point.
That's fucked up.
Yeah, you know how he elected Trump by when he went around campaigning for Hillary Clinton.
Remember when he did that?
You remember what he, because no one's allowed to participate in a democracy except Hillary Clinton.
That's just the only person who's allowed to run.
Hillary Clinton.
You're not allowed.
And he ran the most kid-gloved wearing primary campaign ever.
Right.
My God, he said, I don't want to talk about the emails.
I don't want to hear about your goddamn emails.
Well, you know how Bernie Sanders made it available and possible for Donald Trump's podium to be filmed empty all the time.
Yeah, remember that?
Yeah, you know, Bernie Sanders was like, just film the podium.
I've got something to say.
Just film that empty podium.
Yeah, maybe this guy, maybe Kyle would like to go rerun some empty podium Trump stuff and tell him who got him elected.
And really, I'm so sorry, Jimmy, but the whole idea that Bernie Sanders was able to go against that Clinton machine.
Right, and win 23.
And the zillions of dollars that they have and all the super delegates.
Right.
Hillary Clinton didn't even adopt any of the Bernie Sanders messages that were clearly gaining so much traction with voters.
He was filling arenas much bigger than Donald Trump.
He was getting huge crowds.
And of course, Hillary Clinton wasn't even in that hunt.
But when they sat down and ultimately Hillary Clinton did, I think on the minimum wage, she was a reluctant or something.
She went to 12.
She didn't go to 15.
Right, exactly.
So she was a reluctant participant to even move that far.
Right.
But it wasn't as though she was really embracing Sanders in any way that mattered to him, which was the substantive policy issues.
Right.
Right.
No, you're damn right.
She had to get arm twisted all the way.
You're right.
She has a public position and a private position.
Don't forget that.
So the Granite State poll done at the University of New Hampshire, they wanted to see who the frontrunners were.
This is a pretty early poll, but they did it anyway.
And the top one is Sanders.
So it's really smart when people like Peter Douche and Nera Tandon and Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Pete Tom, when they shit on the most popular politician in the country, and you wonder why the Democrats are wiped out?
Because they're fucking stupid and they're paid to lose.
They're paid losers.
Nira Tandon, Tom Perez, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, they are fucking paid losers and they don't care that they lose because they're being paid.
That's why.
There it is.
So it's Bernie Sanders is the top 31%.
Below him, Joe Biden at 24%.
Below that, Elizabeth Warren at 13% and then Corey Booker at 6.
So according to CNN, I was reading an article at CNN and they were talking about this poll.
And this is one of the quotes from that article.
It said, at every activist meeting I've been to in Iowa over the past six months, Bernie is the only National Democrat people are talking about.
They love his message and they are urging other candidates to sound more like him.
There is so much opportunity for someone to come in and say something new and interesting and address the enormous wealth disparity in America.
Yet only Bernie and to a lesser extent Warren are doing it.
Nobody else has packaged something, rolled out something out, put a digital campaign together and pushed a simple economic populist agenda.
Remember when Chuck Schumer said, we got a bold economic plan.
Remember that?
We got to build that.
No one, they don't have one.
It's the better deal, which is stupid.
It's not a new deal.
They're never going to talk about FDR.
They're never going to talk about a real progressive program.
They're never going to talk about demand side economics because the Democrats are still supply-side economics people.
They still want to cut the taxes for the wealthy.
Trump's going to cut the taxes for the wealthy.
And guess who's going to go along with them?
The fucking Democrats.
Just like they went along with bloating the military budget of $80 billion a year, $700 billion over 10 years, which was enough money, by the way, to wipe out student debt in the country, enough money to send everybody to college for free.
No discussion about it, though.
We just give it to the military.
No discussion about it.
No town halls.
No debates between Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.
No Anderson Cooper going around the country.
Chris Hayes rolling up his sleeves at a town hall to pretend like he works.
None of that.
We did this, did it.
No conversation.
But when you said you want to take that money and give it to college, or you want to take that money, give it to hell, you're a pie-in-the-sky fairy duster.
Where are you going?
Who's going to pay for that?
That's the Democratic Party.
So there we go.
Bernie Sanders, still the most popular guy.
Democrats still finding ways to shit on him.
Jimmy, Mark Thompson, question.
What are Bernie's as he gets older?
Is he still a viable candidate?
I think he is.
He'll be a viable candidate to the day he dies.
It's just a matter of what he decides to do.
It's just perplexing to me, and I'll keep saying it, that he spent his whole career trying to convince people to vote for independence.
He finally gets elected.
He's a senator.
I mean, he's been in the Congress.
He runs around telling everybody to get rid of this two-party system, how screwed up the two-party system is.
And as soon as he becomes the most popular politician in America with a chance to really make a change, he decides to use all that power to prop up the two-party system, which he's been railing against his entire goddamn career.
Now, you tell me what fucking sense that makes.
None.
It makes no fucking sense.
So people are calling Bernie a cheapdog, right?
So he's getting everybody herded into the Democratic Party.
Why would you do that?
And now they're even becoming more right-wing.
So I have a feeling that this little speech I gave is going to turn Bernie's mind.
And he's going to, I really do.
I have a feeling I'm very powerful.
People tell me I swung the election.
And I'll do it again, by the way.
If you are not messed with me, I will swing the next election.
So I think that little rant I just did will make Bernie go, oh, yeah, fuck, what am I thinking?
Why would I put myself in the hands of Debbie fucking Wassoman Schultz?
Why don't I start a third party and crush these motherfuckers?
Yes.
Yes, Bernie.
Crush them out of the city.
Wait, more lemons.
Wait a minute, more lemons.
You know, Google and YouTube are doing their best to get rid of independent news shows, right?
They're finding ways to make it harder for us to be sustainable.
New algorithms that make it harder for people to find our videos.
And I have a theory that they're trying to make people frustrated when they try to find news on YouTube, so they just quit.
Chris Hedges is the man, and he writes for Truthdig, and he wrote this article called Silencing Dissent.
The ruling elites who grasp that the reigning ideology of global corporate capitalism and imperial expansion no longer has moral or intellectual credibility have mounted a campaign to shut down the platforms given to their critics.
The attacks within the campaign include blacklisting, censorship, and slandering dissidents as foreign agents for Russia and purveyors of fake news.
No dominant class can long retain control when the credibility of the ideas that justify its existence evaporates.
It is forced at that point to resort to crude forms of coercion, intimidation, and censorship.
This ideological collapse in the United States has transformed those of us who attack the corporate state into a potent threat.
Not because we reach large numbers of people and certainly not because we spread Russian propaganda, but because the elites no longer have a plausible counter argument.
So a lot of this is coming on the heels of the new requirements that RT, the people at RT, which Chris Hedges also has a show at RT, have to now register as foreign agents instead of just journalists.
They have to register as foreign agents, which is a big deal.
And they're only doing that to RT.
And I just showed you all the stuff they were claiming Russia did to interfere in our election with Trump.
Hillary Clinton did.
Hillary Clinton teamed up with, and that's what all this is about.
So this is all propaganda.
So this is like when you read George Orwell and you read Brave New World.
It's what we're living in.
Write and how.
So we'll get through this article.
The elites face an unpleasant choice.
They could impose harsh controls to protect the status quo or veer leftward towards socialism to ameliorate the mounting economic and political injustices endured by most of the population.
But a move leftward, essentially reinstating and expanding the New Deal programs they have destroyed, would impede corporate power and corporate profits.
So instead, the elites, including the Democratic Party leadership, have decided to quash public debate.
The current hyperbolic and relentless focus on Russia, embraced with gusto by liberal media outlets such as the New York Times and MSNBC, has unleashed what some have called a virulent new McCarthyism.
But that's one of the things I hate the most that people do when they do that.
Some would say, some have called, yeah.
The corporate elites do not fear Russia.
There is no publicly disclosed evidence that Russia swung the election to Donald Trump, nor does Russia appear to be intent on a military confrontation with the United States.
The exact opposite.
I am certain Russia tries to meddle in U.S. affairs to its advantage, as we do and did to Russia.
So Chris Hedges makes the case that, again, this is McCarthyism.
That's what's happening.
And it's squelch debate.
It's to squelch voices.
Well, I think the way he summed it up was really kind of like, sometimes when I talk to people, I have trouble putting into words my problems with all the hysteria because it's like, where do you?
And the best definition of propaganda that I've ever heard thus far in my life is that propaganda is something that prohibits a conversation by creating a caricature, a caricature of the opposition.
So when the corporate media, oh, you must be a Russian troll.
You must be a bot.
Oh, you're going to be labeled as a foreign.
I mean, that is true propaganda at its most dangerous state.
And Chris Hedges is pointing out that this is the corporatocracy losing control.
They don't have any arguments left at this point.
You don't have any valid arguments against single-payer health care left at this point.
I mean, you never really did.
But now you can't even skate around it because it's like, well, we need a baby step first.
We had your baby step.
We had the Affordable Care Act.
It's time now.
You had your baby step.
So there's no arguments left.
So now you're just using a red herring, no pun intended, with Russia.
And that's really all this can be tracked down to.
And some of the other news coming out is proving him right more so than ever before.
And it's about time that we finally reached this point in the cycle because it's been going on for a year now.
That's propaganda.
And Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are all pretty much equal.
I would say Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are more corrupt than Donald Trump because they actually had more opportunity to do grow-up shit.
Donald Trump will catch them.
I bet.
I'm betting if he stays in power for eight years, he'll surpass.
But this idea that Trump is horrible, so that makes the Democrats good is a really dangerous idea.
We have special guest in-house, hilarious comedian Judah Friedlander is here.
Hey, Judah, how are you?
Incredible.
Yeah.
You know, just fighting fascism in America.
And, you know, this is the number one third world country.
And I'm here to fight for it.
I'm ready.
I'm on the West Coast.
Now, let me let people know what's happening.
You have a big show coming out on Netflix on October 31st.
That's Halloween.
That's Tuesday.
His new special is America is the greatest country in the United States.
That's what it's called.
That's correct.
Which is already funny.
Yes, thanks.
I'm actually going to play a little bit of your special right now.
Oh, okay.
Where are you from?
England.
England, at one point in history, you used to own the whole world.
What happened?
And I don't think you were an evil imperialistic nation.
I think you were simply a country that was in search of better tasting cuisine.
I think one day your troops wandered over to India, took a lunch break, and were like, wow, this curry is just dandy.
Let's take this recipe back to the queen.
And then your general stepped in and said, no, this is too good.
We should surround this nation with our troops and protect this chicken tikka masala or something.
Make sure it stays off after England.
You used to own us.
Yeah, you did.
You used to own us.
And then we defeated you.
Took your language and perfected it.
You got nothing left.
Your last piece of dignity.
David Beckham, he lives here.
He named his son Brooklyn.
It's over.
When I was in school, they taught you to memorize things, but it seemed like they got angry when you fought and you had your own thinking.
I remember even when in like English classes, you'd have to read a book and then you would read literary critics and criticism of their point on that book.
And then they make you write a paper about what happened in the book and what these other literary critics thought about the book.
Not ever what you thought about that.
You know, when you're in school and you do, you read history and then you read like a Howard Zinn book or something like that.
And you're like, oh.
You know, like I remember a few years ago, I was reading about the Vietnam War.
And it's like, in Vietnam, they call that war the American War.
They don't call it the Vietnam War.
Oh.
You know, I mean, it's like when you start looking at things from different angles, you're like, oh.
Because this country in general, since we're far away from a lot of other countries and our media is bigger than a lot of other medias, it's like so many people don't realize how brainwashed they might be and how much propaganda is out there.
So when you start traveling and going to other countries, you can actually learn more about your own country.
And then about seven, eight years ago, I started doing stand-up shows in Europe.
And that's when I really started to see my own country more.
And because I've always been into human rights issues and stuff.
But when you can step away from it, you can really see it a lot more.
Yeah, like when you visit when you like, you don't know your hometown until you leave it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because I remember I was in Sweden doing shows.
I was in Stockholm.
A few comedians from Stockholm are taking me around.
And I've been on the road in Europe for like a week or two.
I was like, I got to do laundry.
I have no clean clothes.
The clothes I'm wearing are already old and dirty.
So I go to them.
I need to find a laundromat.
Is there a laundromat in here?
Because I went on Yelp, couldn't find anything.
And they go, Laundromat?
Hmm.
No, I can't think of any laundromats.
I'm like, this is Stockholm.
This is your biggest city.
How do you not have a laundromat?
And they go, oh, well, that's because all of the apartment buildings, they come with laundry machines in them.
So you don't have to go outside.
You can just do it in your own apartment or in your building.
So when someone makes an apartment building in Stockholm, they either make it with laundry machines in the apartment or in the building that you can use.
So you don't have to go to a fucking laundromat.
It's like, who would have thought that?
Who would have thought?
Like, wow, just a little bit more thinking to fucking hand out and help somebody.
Who's the asshole in America who thought about building apartment buildings without fucking having a Washington center in it?
Right?
Why would you not have?
Ah, they can go out.
Yeah, I remember there's drag all your shit out.
Another smart thing they had.
And we're walking outside.
We're going up a big flight of steps outdoors.
And it's one of those where the handrail is in the middle and then the two stairways are on the side of it.
So on the stairs, like right near where the handrail is, it's smooth.
It's not stairs.
It's smooth for like four inches.
And I'm seeing this everywhere.
I'm like, dude, what is this?
Why is it smooth there?
And they're like, oh, that's if you have a bicycle, you can just roll it up and down and you don't have to carry it.
I'm like, how fucking dumb is this country that we don't have that?
Right.
Something so small makes such a big difference.
Yeah.
Just a little bit of thinking and thinking about other people, not just yourself, and can make life better.
So there's all, so then you start thinking about, oh, healthcare.
Yeah, that's a that's a little one that like, and everyone has it, but we don't have it.
We don't have it here because who's going to pay for that?
And the Democrats and the Republicans.
I mean, of course, the Republicans will shit on that, but the Democrats will be like, I mean, now they're just starting to turn a little bit on it, just a little bit, you know.
But people, people will tell you, Judah, you know, you can't turn a cruise ship around on a dime.
It takes a while.
Yeah.
I'm like, how fucking long do we have to wait for Universal?
They've had it in England since 48.
They've had it in Canada since the 60s.
How long do we have to wait in the United States?
Hey, it's America's Prankster George Clooney is on the line.
Hello.
Hey, is your refrigerator running?
Just kidding, partner.
But seriously, did you know if you sow cotton balls in water, they'll stick to any cold surface at night?
My friend Matt Damon, he found that the hard way.
Couldn't find his Lamborghini for two days.
It had to be dope.
He was pretty steamed at first, but now he's starring in a new movie I'm directing.
So it's all cool.
What's our status?
Are we cool, Sailor?
Yeah, sure, George.
Broheem.
Babe, call me GC.
By the way, my wife, Amal, says hi.
She's like an Olympic athlete, as you know.
Sometimes I like to put a fake snake in the lettuce drawer.
Wow.
Not to change the subject or anything, but did you hear the news?
The twins, they're into solid food now, man.
I thought I was a pro at changing the diapers, but oh God, wow.
I never planned on this.
Hey, you know, there's more to that phone call, but we don't have time in today's podcast.
We have time, but we got to get it to you in the premium.
That's how you support the show.
We have the most affordable premium program in the business.
