Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Jimmy Doar, it is I, Bill O'Reilly.
I want to wish you were yours a joy.
It's Black Friday.
I don't want to hear you pinheads with your Black Friday isn't a real holiday.
That atheist Bolshevik doesn't fly with Naomi Goldberg or Riley Son.
Okay.
Black Friday commemorates the day the pilgrims got great bargains on Indian land for the Lord's miracle.
Smallpox.
And yes, just as today, many of those pilgrims died when the mall opened that first Black Friday.
Of course, back then they died of starvation and disease.
Well, today we symbolically kill them through trampling or hitting them with the blender at 60% off.
And by symbolically, I mean literally.
Now, you might say, Bill, why do we have to kill people on Black Friday?
I would just say, who knows?
God is just like that.
He moves in mysterious ways.
He demands a few people die of internal bleeding at the mouth of a Walmart.
The rest of us can get incredible savings on flat screens and panini makers.
As is traditional, last night, I took a crap on the sidewalk in front of a best buy and got in a screaming match with an Armenian lady, just as our forefathers did.
Thus begins the baby Jesus' long trip out of the whole uterus.
Back in old days, we tracked all the stations of Mary Super Paid for Labor.
Christmas Eve used to be called Crowning Day.
And we'd all wear red turtlenecks like our heads.
We're just coming out of the Marys for JJ.
These are all true things.
I'm Bill O'Reilly, and that's one to grow on.
It's the Jimmy Dore Show.
Whoa.
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 if you guys.
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.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving or, as the American Indians call it, Genocide Day.
Oh, tough joke off the top.
Coming right at you with both barrels.
We got a lot more of that both barrel-y stuff coming at you.
Rick have some clips from our live show from last Monday in Hollywood, California at the Improvisation.
We had a live show with Laura Keitlinger.
You know Laurel Keitlinger.
You'll know her.
You love her from all the stuff, late night comedy shows.
And she's a writer, producer, and performer on the Will and Grace Show on the NBCs.
Also, Eddie Pepetone is going to be on this week's show.
You know, the hilarious guy from The Bitter Buddha.
Also, Graham Elwood will be on this week's show, plus the regulars, Rod Lacone and Steph Zeborano.
And big thanks to everybody at the improv for letting the Jimmy Door show do our thing there.
Our next live show is going to be December 4th.
That's a Monday, December 4th in Burbank, California at the Flappers Comedy Club.
Go to jimmydoorcompedy.com for a leak for tickets.
We'll see you Monday, December 4th.
That's our next live Jimmy Door show, Burbank, California.
See you then.
Hey, what's coming up this week's show?
Nancy Pelosi ignores rigging of the primary, focuses on cash.
It's a good focus.
Hey, we're going to talk to Parody Count satirical Twitter account, Peter Douche, and talk about why he got banned from Twitter.
Hey, the news media keeps pretending bad things started with Trump.
Plus, WikiLeaks and Trump Jr., how is that being misreported by the mainstream news media?
The answer just may surprise you.
Plus, congressional sexual harassment names kept secret by law.
We got that.
Plus some of our favorite vintage phone calls.
That's coming up this week on the Jimmy Dore Show.
*Music*
So we know that the Democrats rigged the primary.
Hillary Clinton and the DNC colluded to rig the primary against Bernie Sanders.
It's been revealed by the former chair of the DNC that it was 100% hijacked, and Hillary Clinton's campaign was effectively running the DNC during the primary and funneling all the money people were giving to the DNC into the Hillary Clinton campaign.
So it was a big money laundering organization on top of it.
And so here's the leader of the Democrats in the House, Nancy Pelosi.
She's done such a good job as leader that under her leadership, the Democrats, they've been wiped out at every level.
Over a thousand seats in state houses across the country.
Of course, you know, they were wiped out in the Congress in the House, I mean.
So here they asked her about the Donner Brazil's revelations that the primary was rigged because, you know, you can't fix a problem until you acknowledge the problem that you have, right?
That's what they say.
That's what Lucy used to say in Charlie Brown cartoons when I was a kid.
Accepting that you have a problem is the first part.
So here we go.
You know what?
You haven't heard me relitigate last year's election.
I wasn't involved in the presidential.
I'm only looking forward.
This is about the future.
I haven't had time to be.
Oh, I can't look.
No, I can't look back.
I'm only looking forward.
You know, I would, just like Barack Obama, he didn't prosecute any of the torturers.
I said he was looking forward.
And all those crimes happened in the past.
Yeah, all the rigging happened in the past, too.
That's where stuff happens in the past.
So she's not, she's a, she doesn't, she's not interested in finding out what's wrong with her party.
Nancy Pelosi, she's not even interested if her party wins in the general.
Why would she be interested in the primary?
We shouldn't look into the past.
By the way, George W. Bush was awesome.
And I wish Mitt Romney was president.
We shouldn't look into the past.
Here we go.
Nancy Pelosi, I don't even use my rearview mirror.
She doesn't.
She doesn't even use her mirrors when she's driving.
That's what you mean?
Yeah.
Any of that anyway, but nonetheless, what I've seen on the little tape going across the screen.
Let's focus on what's really important to our country.
And even though you weren't directly involved, no, I wasn't.
But that says, you know, you are a big mother for the party.
I am.
The biggest.
So he just says, you know, you're a fundraiser for the party.
She says, I am, the biggest.
And everyone laughs because that's what it's all about.
That's why she's a leader.
She's not a leader because she's an actual leader.
She's a leader because she gets the most money from Silicon Valley and pharmaceutical companies and health insurance companies and fossil fuel companies and the military industrial complex and Wall Street.
She gets the most more money than anybody else in the house.
And then she spreads it around to her friends so that they want the money that she gives them.
So they vote for her to be leader.
That's how you become a leader.
Not because you're a leader, but because you're the biggest suck up to corporate cash.
Like he'll, that's what she is.
And then she jokes about it.
That she is the biggest.
Here we go.
Not counting, not counting the presidential.
I'm not getting.
Look, I have responsibility for what I have responsibility for.
I don't have any interest in what I don't have responsibility for when it comes to other campaigns.
Nancy isn't worried about anything that isn't her responsibility, which is why she has no clue what policies the Democrats actually stand for.
There you go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember when she was trying to read the better deal?
She didn't know what it was.
She had to pick up a pamphlet and read it.
It's not her responsibility, I guess, though.
I'm heartbroken that we didn't win the White House.
There'll be all kinds of books written about what happened.
I'm focusing.
One year ago, that election took place.
Can you believe it's a year and it's just a couple of days?
It'll be a year.
And one year until the next election.
My focus is on the next election.
I don't have a spare second to be thinking about comments that went on between within the DNC.
Any other comments?
That's what went on in the DNC.
They were just comments.
I guess Watergate and Iraq were just a bunch of chit chat.
Comments.
That was just water cooler talk.
Yeah.
Just comments.
That's.
And so you wonder why people don't get more upset when Trump says that's just locker room talk.
And you're like, how could people accept this?
Because you do it all the time.
What do you call this?
This is Nancy Pelosi just lying.
I'm not looking.
I don't have one second.
I don't have one second to figure out why we lost to Donald Trump.
I don't have one second to figure out how corrupted our organization is.
I don't have one second to clean off the corruption in my own goddamn party.
That's what she's saying.
I don't have one second.
I don't have a time to clean out the corruption.
We're just corrupt.
We go for it and we're capitalist.
This is the way it is.
And shut up.
And everybody shut up because I get the most money.
She's too busy fundraising.
And clearly she's knocking it out of the park because they've had so many great months.
Oh, right.
They've been knocking it out of the park lately.
Yes.
She's not interested in what went on inside the DNC, Ron, during the primary, which helps explain why she's the party's biggest fundraiser and the party's bankrupt.
Peter Douche got it.
Democratic Rising Star Nancy Pelosi gets it.
Nobody involved in rigging the primaries is interested in looking back at the rigged primaries.
And we are missing Peter Douche.
And winner.
Peter Deuce was banned from Twitter.
Not okay.
Peter Deuce.
That's obviously a parody account.
His name is Peter Douche, not Peter Dow.
He has a faked last name, which is obvious to everyone.
And in the description of his account, it says parody account.
And Twitter still banned him.
Why?
Because they are puppets of corporate America.
But there you go.
There you go, Nancy Pelosi.
Fantastic.
Nancy Pelosi doesn't worry about anything except fundraising.
You know, like a good leader.
You outspent Donald Trump two to one, and you still lost.
And you're not interested.
Why?
I'm not interested in why.
Why?
Because it doesn't make a difference in her life.
She's still going to get corporate cash.
She's 100 millionaire.
She's unbelievably wealthy.
We have a very interesting guest coming up.
I'm going to tell you about him in just a second.
He runs a parody account.
It's one of the most popular progressive parody sites on all of Twitter.
And that was Peter Douche.
And if you know anything about Hillary Clinton politics, she has an advisor named Peter Dow, who is a douche.
And so here is the account.
Peter Douche at Angry Burner.
And here's some of the work he did.
We featured this in our part of Portland show just last week.
For instance, Nancy Pelosi said she wasn't interested in looking back on the rigged election.
And so Peter Douche says Democratic rising star Nancy Pelosi gets it.
Nobody involved in rigging the primaries is interested in looking back at the rigged primaries.
So that's the kind of beautiful work that Peter Douche did.
And if you, again, this happened.
So if you go to follow him, it said, and that's such a hilarious header for his Twitter.
Owned together.
That's so funny.
Anyway, everything about it.
And if you look right in his description of his account, it says, Twitter makes me say I'm a parody.
So his name is completely spelled differently.
It's not Peter Dow.
It's Peter Douche.
And in the first line, it says, I'm a parody.
So here's the actual Peter Dow.
He then tweeted this.
A derogatory leftist account impersonating me was suspended.
He wasn't impersonating you.
His last name was Douche, and he said it was a parody.
He wasn't impersonating you.
Its followers are more enraged by that than a mass shooting in a church.
Sick.
That's what he actually tweeted.
That's an actual.
So now you see why he's a douche, right?
Because he's somehow using a church.
He's hiding behind a church shooting to somehow justify censorship on Twitter.
He's hiding behind a church shooting, and that somehow means we should censor a parody account that is hilarious.
That makes first of all, thank you, Twitter, for protecting me from satire.
Because, ooh, we can't let that.
You're protecting me from my Russian influence.
It got me.
It got all the Bernie supporters, and it got down in Brazil, too.
Down in Brazil fell to Russian propaganda.
Thank you, Twitter, for saving me from non-existent propaganda that has nothing to do with my life and from satire.
And here's Katie Helper tweeted out Peter Dow.
She says, this guy is such a narcissist, he can't see how obvious his disgusting and inappropriate self-serving use of a mass church shooting is.
Sick.
Well, here is Peter Douche, the angry birder who does the parody site.
Here he is.
Hello, Peter.
How are you?
Thank you for being on the show.
Thank you so much.
Hey, thanks, Jamie.
Love you guys.
How did you pick Peter Dow to do this satire on?
Well, it was pretty easy.
I mean, really, you look at all the guys gaslighting the DNC and the Democratic establishment, and he was an easy target.
I mean, the guy just is relentless.
Hillary, he's going to die with Hillary stuff in his tomb with him.
Yeah.
I mean, he's insane.
So your parodies were just so funny.
Did you know you were always that funny?
Because I consider myself to be funny, and I would read your stuff, and it was at another level, completely another level.
What do you attribute your ability to do such quality work like this?
Honestly, I had no idea that it would even take off.
I started the account as an alternate to my main account to have a venue to go after the DNC without disturbing people that didn't really buy into it yet.
I just wanted to focus on the DNC on its own.
And this was a way to do that.
But then it became obvious that, you know, the more we fight Trump as an awful person, everybody knows he's awful.
But the worse he is, the more the DNC is entitled to be shitty and put a terrible candidate up that nobody's going to vote for.
And they're going to do it again.
So, you know, I just felt like I needed to find a way to get that out.
And I didn't know it was going to be funny.
I just knew I wanted to use a parody to point out real criticisms in a way that people could instantly recognize the hypocrisy of what The DNC and the Democratic Party is doing.
So you using satire, it really shows the power of satire because what you wanted to do was illuminate how effed up these people's thinking was and how myopic they're being and how completely self-serving they're being.
And what a better way to do it than to pretend you agree with them or agree with him and you just start to say things.
And it's just, it just seemed like it fell right out of you how funny it was.
And so, so thank you for doing that, by the way.
Now, you got suspended.
Now, were you warned that you would be suspended?
Did Twitter say, hey, you have to change your avatar or you have to say you're a parody?
Or what did they tell you?
Nothing.
I mean, the very first day I set my account up, which was December of last year, I wasn't even around in the primaries or anything like that.
Back then, they told me I needed to add parody to my account because I had no clue how these things worked.
I mean, I'm pretty new to Twitter on the whole anyway.
But no, according to their new policy, they're supposed to send you an email on why you're suspended.
And they didn't even do that.
I just logged in actually in the middle of tweeting about Sally Albright, one of the other gaslighters on the internet on Twitter.
And I couldn't respond to her, and then I was suspended.
And until I filed an appeal, I had no reason to know why I was suspended.
Nothing.
And so you filed an appeal?
Yeah, so I filed an appeal and got back a routine sort of cut and paste email saying you're impersonating.
And then the account won't be reinstated.
That's it.
And that's it.
There's no board.
There's no arbitration.
There's no nothing.
It's just Silicon Valley gets to decide who has free speech and who doesn't.
That's it, right?
Yeah, that's it.
And, you know, really, you know, I know they're a business.
They have a right to do what they want.
But, you know, if you look at Facebook and Twitter, that's the public forum now.
So, you know, if you want to discuss ideas with other people or get your viewpoint out, you know, that's it.
I mean, there are lots of progressive sites popping up that are similar and it's great.
I support that.
But you still need a Twitter and a Facebook and you have to have your voice there to confront the other ideas and the other beliefs.
So no explanation.
They just said you're impersonating someone, even though you have a totally different spelling of your name.
So if somebody did I'm Jimmy Douche on Twitter, I would never imagine in a million years I could stop them because who knows who that last name is.
It's a fucking made up last name.
Right.
So now there's been a huge campaign in Twitter in support of you.
Did you anticipate that?
Such a big response?
No, I had no idea.
I didn't even, you know, I thought, I mean, I knew I had people that followed me, but I had no idea people would be so outraged.
And it's nice to see because we need to.
We need to stand up for progressive voices on Twitter.
Oh, no doubt about it.
So yeah, none of those, I don't think any of those David Brock trolls ever got suspended, right?
I don't think Joyanne Reed gets suspended or Joan Walsh or anybody when they smear you as a communist or they smear progressives like Greg Glenn Greenwald and me and Lee Camp as some kind of being some kind of Russian bot or a shill or a Putin shill or something like that's just their reflex today.
If you disagree with them, it's just McCarthyism full speed.
And even comedians, which is disgusting, right?
Comedians are supposed to be the court jester.
And if you're the court jester repeating CIA McCarthyism smears, you're not a court jester anymore.
You're just a fucking propagandist and that's disgusting.
So all the comedians out there, whoever sees this, keep that in mind.
Keep that in mind.
You're not supposed to forward the establishment's talking points ever.
Okay.
So go ahead.
Well, I just want to say, they literally suspended me the same week that they were getting blue charfied accounts to Nazis.
No doubt.
So that's where they stand.
No doubt.
They're literally, I know that's there's white supremacists, right?
There's KKK people.
There's literal proclaimed Nazis with a blue check.
That's what you're saying.
Right.
And I think they want to keep that as an enemy for them.
You know, if they have an enemy on the right with the Nazis, it's easy for the centrists to say, hey, shut up.
We got to fight Nazis.
Right, right, right.
But if they have the, but if there's someone on their left, they're like, oh, we can't.
Let's pretend that the only problem is Trump and the Republicans.
Don't challenge their views.
Yes, yes, yes.
They don't look, don't challenge the left's views.
Just challenge the right's views.
All right.
Well, what do you see?
Do you see this?
I see this continuing forever, that they will come together to squash the progressives, meaning the corporate Democrats and Silicon Valley, which is what they've done.
Now, you call yourself an angry burner, meaning that that comes from Bernie Sanders.
How do you feel about Bernie Sanders right now?
I'll lead you into this question.
Let me just say how I feel, is that he spent 30 years complaining about a two-party duopoly and how they're both bought.
And he would complain that people would come up to him after speeches and say, you know, I like you.
You make the most sense.
And I would vote for you, except I don't think you're going to win.
And he would say, well, if y'all, if everybody who said that voted for me, I would win.
Well, he won.
He's a senator.
And now he almost won the nomination that was rigged against him.
And instead of fighting, standing up against that corrupt organization, he's now sheepdogging or sheepherding progressives into that party, which it's obvious, Pat, that they have no use for progressives in that party.
And they will cheat them again.
They're already denying that they even cheated.
Well, Elizabeth Warren completely did a 180 and said, oh, it wasn't Rick.
She said it's rigged.
Now she said it's not rigged.
So they're already doing that, right?
So they're already...
That's really a tough one.
I mean, I, you know, I didn't get involved in supporting Bernie because of some love for Bernie.
It was his ideas.
It was the first person I could truly trust.
And I think that's how America felt about it.
He trusted him.
And I still do.
I think his motives are good.
I think he wants to reform the party.
But when you look at what's happening within the party, it's obvious they don't give a shit about changing.
I mean, they don't give a shit about winning.
I mean, if you just want to cut to it.
I mean, you got the Unity Reform Commission set up to try to bring in the Bernie folks.
That was the whole initial idea.
And they can't even listen to the URC's recommendation to get rid of superdelegates.
The most pointless.
I mean, super delegates are like the don't pick Tim Kaine again.
You know, like, I mean, it's even worse than that.
It's just like, if you can't throw us that, you're not going to ever get the progressives back that you need to win again.
And if you do win again, you're a shitty party.
So.
People still get mad at me.
Hey, lay off the Democrats.
No, when we get rid of Trump, we have to have something to replace him with.
And if we replace him with Republican Light, we're going to get a worse Trump the next time.
Do you agree with that?
Oh, absolutely.
I mean, they think right now that they can run against Trump just like they did last time.
And they can't.
That's just it.
And maybe they can.
Maybe they get away with it.
Maybe they run someone just a hair shittier than Hillary and they win.
Yes.
You know, that's not acceptable.
It's three years before the election.
And we're not supposed to speak up now.
Like, when do we speak up?
If we can't, like, if you can't address it after the election, well, so next year is the midterms.
We can't talk about it during the midterms.
And then the next year after that, we're queuing up for 2020.
We can't talk about it then.
So right now, we're just stuck with Cam La Harris.
Let's just face it.
Yeah, yeah, that's well, that's what they're saying.
Yeah.
So Bernie Sanders thinks, I'm pretty sure he thinks that he's going to run in the Democratic primary and he's somehow going to unrig the system this time.
And they're not going to cheat him.
And all the super delegates are going to go to him.
And, you know, again, he's stuck with a party of people that are the problem.
The problem isn't the Republicans.
The problem is the corporate takeover of both of our parties.
And the only way to reform the Democratic Party is with a third party.
It's obvious.
Do you think the Democratic Party is capable of reform, Pat?
I don't think so.
And that's why I'm pushing for a third party.
Do you think we need a third party or do you think the Democrats can get it done from inside?
Oh, we need a third party.
You know, the Democrats, you could have held out hope that they could themselves.
I want to believe they can reform and possibly institute some changes, but they can't.
They just can't.
You can't look at anything they've done and say that they have the willingness to.
Because for so long, Twitter and the internet and progressives were fighting for Democrats to realize, like, okay, this is what you did wrong.
And when we felt like, oh, they're tone deaf and they're just not listening.
And we'll just hammer them with the message of what we want and that'll change things.
But now it's clear that they don't care.
I mean, they get the message.
They just need to fight and keep burning his ideas and progressives out so that they can keep, you know, I hate to use the oligarchy word, but I mean, that's what we're looking at.
Well, Pat, I mean, you're not the only, you didn't invent the oligarchy term for what's happening right now.
The first time I heard it was Paul Krugman.
So that's a Hillary Clinton supporter and a Nobel or a Pulitzer Prize winning economist.
I'm pretty sure he's a Pulitzer.
He has one of those prizes, a Nobel or Pulitzer.
I think a Nobel.
And he's the one who said he was on a debate with Chris Hedges, and he said, hey, look, we're living in an oligarchy.
That's the fact.
He just admits it, right?
And he doesn't go, so we need to fight like hell every moment of our life against this until we can have, think of strategies to overturn it.
His thing was, yeah, we have to vote for Hillary and hope for the best.
So we do live in an oligarchy, Pat.
So don't feel bad about saying that, you know?
There's a reason why people are saying that.
It's because it's 100% true.
Go ahead.
Yeah, well, I was just thinking, you just had Klubek with Big Donor, the casino guy.
Right.
Billionaire.
He was just on MSNBC.
I don't remember his show, but, you know, he basically said Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer told him that they won't go more left.
They assured him the party's safe.
They're not going more left because that's what it's come to.
So anything you believe that they say is bullshit.
Behind the scenes, they're telling all their rich donors, don't worry, we're not going to go left.
That's exactly what they're telling their donors.
We're not going farther left.
In fact, we're not even going to use the millionaire or billionaire word anymore.
Yeah, that's off limits.
That's off limits.
What kind of a goddamn part?
So again, I couldn't be more disappointed in Bernie Sanders than I am right now.
And I'm hoping that he's smarter than me and he's playing chess and I'm stuck playing checkers.
Although it's sad that a dumb guy like me has been has been right this whole time about everything.
And the people who are the Smarty Pants people have been 100,000 fucking percent wrong about everything.
So I don't think that I think what Bernie's doing right now is a huge mistake.
And it was a huge mistake for him to back Clinton right after he thinks they cheated him out of the primary.
If he didn't do that and he just said, I'm going to run as a green, do you know how fucking progressive the Democrats would have got immediately?
Do you know what they would have had to do to get the fucking progressives to vote for Hillary Clinton if he said, I'm not going to?
Do you realize how different a Democratic Party we would have had than we have right now?
He could have said, hey, we get rid of, because that was during the platform.
He could have said, hey, we get rid of the fucking super delegates.
Hey, we get rid of this.
Hey, we get rid of that.
Or I'm going with Jill Stein.
And they could have, and he had real power.
So as soon as he amasses real power, what does he do?
He takes all that energy and pushes it towards the Democratic Party, which is a huge mistake.
And if he didn't do that, if he would have just did what I said and said, hey, I'm running third party, we'd still have Trump.
We would still have Trump, except we'd have a radically different politics in America and a radically different Democratic Party.
Radically different.
Or Bernie might have won.
We already know what happened.
He did the wrong thing.
And Hillary Clinton fucking lost because she's a repulsive candidate to half the country.
They knew that eight years ago, which is why she lost to Barack Obama eight years ago.
So again, Bernie Sanders just seems like he's now running scared and doesn't want to make enemies inside the Democratic Party, which they just prove they don't give a shit about him.
They completely rigged the system against him.
So we got screwed out of a progressive president.
He doesn't even seem angry about it.
Where do we go?
I mean, I don't have the answers.
You know, I just, I look at it and think, can you trust Democrats now?
That's all.
No.
No, of course you can't trudge them.
Of course, you know who I trust like one Democrat, maybe two.
I trust Tulsi Gabbard.
I trust her.
I trust Rocana.
I think that's it.
I think that's about it.
I trust Tim Canova, but he's not elected.
So I don't know.
I'm sure there's another Democrat somewhere I trust.
It certainly isn't Elizabeth Warren anymore.
So again, we need a third party.
And if there was a third party that polled at 5 or 10%, they would have to come together in a coalition.
They would have to have a platform that the progressives agreed to or they would lose forever.
By the way, but what you said is I don't think they care about losing.
And that might be the, that might be the fatal flaw in our country is that the opposition party doesn't care about losing.
I mean, if you're a donor to the Democratic Party, you just want them not to push things.
Yes.
That's your big goal.
Don't push things.
Don't push for campaign finance reform.
Don't push for clean water.
I mean, just you can simplify it to any issue, but don't don't push for too many changes.
Yes, that's it.
Well, you know, as Jenk Uger has said many times, is that the reason why the Democrats don't push for anything and the reason why they don't have a spine is because they're chosen that way.
The donors choose Chuck Schumer.
That guy wouldn't ask him directions to the freeway.
He's supposed to be the leader of the Democrats and the Senate.
You got to be kidding me.
So that's he's chosen by the Wall Street donors to be the leader.
Nancy Pelosi is chosen by the health insurance and big pharma and big fossil fuel.
She's chosen to be the leader.
They give them the most money.
They take that money and they spread it Around their colleagues in Congress and they vote for them to be leader.
It's got nothing to do with being a leader.
It's got nothing to do with the legislative agenda.
It's got nothing to do with a vision for the country.
It's got nothing to do with anything except fucking money like it always did.
Okay, well, we'll be looking for you.
It's at what is the at what?
What is your new account at what?

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 Dore show.
Doesn't change the way you shop at Amazon, doesn't cost you anything, but it's a big help to the show.
So the next time you want to buy something from Amazon, go to JimmyDoorComedy.com.
Our Amazon box is right on the front page.
Click it.
It takes you to Amazon.
And then when you buy something, they send us money.
It's just that easy.
But we have a new thing, a new way if you can 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.
You just go to patreon.com/slash Jimmy Dore, patreon.com/slash Jimmy Door.
Go there.
You can become a patron of the Jimmy Door show.
And you know what matters more now than ever because our show has really blown up and gotten way more popular since we've been going on YouTube.
But we've gotten over a quarter million subscribers.
And so things are really happening.
And except YouTube pulled our funding out from underneath us, right?
So they don't want independent news anymore.
And YouTube's offering establishment news.
They're actually offering for a fee.
So they're funding independent news people like us.
So that's why we're offering Patreon.
That's why we're offering a premium.
That's why we offer the Amazon all these different ways.
And plus, we have the t-shirts.

Thank you for doing that.
Now let's get on to the second half.
Hi, Jimmy.
This is Rick Perry.
There are three things I'm thankful for.
My country, my family, and wait, what's the third one here?
Country, family, and the I can't.
The third one, I can't.
Oops.
Jimmy, President Obama here with my final presidential Thanksgiving thanks.
I'm thankful that I am not a Native American.
Those people are getting screwed.
You see that woman who got her arm blown off?
Well, I can't even lift a finger to help her with my good arm that I still have.
I'm thankful everyone still thinks I'm a great guy.
This is Damn Neeson, Jimmy.
Listen very closely.
There's no time to be thankful right now.
Initiate Operation Chromite.
Jim Billow here, Jimmy.
I'm thankful for that Roger Ale secondhand pussy I got over the years.
Oh, well, it was a good run while it lasted.
Oh, Genie Perino.
Jimmy, Jeff Bush, what am I thankful for?
I'm thankful I destroyed my family's political dynasty before Hillary did hers.
Follow that, motherfucker.
Please clap.
Jimmy, John Bader, what am I thankful for?
Blackouts, you stupid fuck.
Who's chopping onions?
I'm not crying, honest.
Got something to buy.
That's all.
Shut up.
Jimmy, this is Bernie Sanders.
What am I thankful for?
I'll tell you what I'm thankful for.
And this is very important.
I'm thankful I bought a Democrat.
Fucking Debbie Wasserman Schultz!
*music*
Here with the miserable liberal and hilarious comedian Dave Ronnitz.
Hey, Dave.
Hello, Jimmy.
Hi, Jimmy.
Hi, everybody.
So I can't believe this is still happening.
It's actually ramping up.
What I mean is the people who are pretending that everything was hunky-dory, and then we got Trump.
Okay.
Okay, for instance, here's The Economist.
Americans' foreign policy colon embrace thugs, dictators, and strongmen.
Past presidents believe the American power should be used as a force for good in the world, not Donald Trump.
What are they talking about?
What?
This is painful.
What?
Has there been a strong-arm dictator we haven't backed the United States?
We supported the fucking South Africans apartheid state, for F's sake.
We overthrew the democratically elected government in Iran and we installed the Shah, an unbelievably repressive dictator.
We did that.
We're in bed with Saudi Arabia, the most repressive theocracy in the world.
We're doing that.
We're bobbing.
We bobbed over a thousand civilians in March alone of this year.
Are you kidding me?
We're bobbing the shit out of the world.
We're in bed with every strong-armed dictator we can find.
What are you talking about?
Now we're going to go with thugs.
What?
Did you know that the government gave 20% of our uranium production to the Russians, the thug government, and Bill Clinton pocketed 500 grand personally, and the Clinton Foundation got $145 million doing their deal with Russia?
But that doesn't count as thug dealing, I guess.
He wasn't a Thug then, Putin, right?
He just became a thug recently.
Is that what happened?
You know how George W. Bush was such a friend to the other nations?
I remember like watching him, like, do we have any kind of foreign policy with anybody in the world that doesn't mean that we're going to go and invade you if you don't do things our way?
Do you remember how many people hated Bush when he was in office and how they never had any kind of regular meeting with anybody except Tony Blair?
It seemed like only Tony Blair was the only person of world leader that was going to talk to him.
This is so symbolic just of kind of the Trump change.
In other words, like, you know, Trump isn't smooth.
And Trump, Trump has, you know, dinner with Duarte, right?
You know, he'll have dinner with the strongman.
Where Obama might say something, you know, oh, that's not good, and then not have dinner with him.
That's the only difference.
He still didn't do anything to get him out of power.
He didn't do anything to change anything.
Barack Obama, we are the thugs.
Are you kidding me?
Drone bombs, 90% of the people kill the drone bombs are civilians.
We're doing that.
We invaded Iraq.
We set the Middle East on fire.
We did the same thing in Libya, turned it into a failed state, a haven for terrorists.
Now they're doing slave trading and it's happening in Libya.
They had genocides of black people in Libya because of what we did.
Now look what happened in Syria.
We did all that in Syria.
We ran out of bombs in the Middle East.
We still have a torture facility in Cuba.
We're still doing it in the black op sites all around the world.
We're still in Afghanistan 16 years later.
We're the biggest thug.
The goddamn, hey, if you want to end terrorism, as Chomsky says, stop participating in it.
We're the world's biggest terrorists.
There's no doubt about that.
Al-Qaeda has couldn't hold a candle to our kill rate in Iraq alone.
Again, this is why we got Trump.
This is the horrible media.
Look how horrible they are.
That's why I have a show.
This is the economy.
I mean, and people, it's just so funny when people take swipes at us, this YouTube show for not being good enough journalists or for making a mistake, which we didn't.
This is why we got Trump, all right?
Because our, oh, you remember, I love this.
Past presidents believe the American power should be used as a force for good.
Remember how Nixon and Kissinger brought that force for good in their illegal Cambodian bombing campaign?
Remember how they killed 3 million Southeast Asians?
Remember that?
How that, what a good based, by the way, on a false flag.
The Gulf of Tonkin incident that it was a false flag.
So we could go into Vietnam.
They all believe it's a force for good.
That's how they justified doing it.
What they have wrong is the definition of good.
Read General Smedley Butler's War is a Racket.
Every time he went out as a Marine to fight for the United States, he was there at the behest of an American corporation to steal the natural resources from indigenous people and give it to an American corporation.
That's what we do.
We're the terrorists.
We're the thugs.
We're the strongman.
And if there's another one out there in the world, we can't wait to team up with them.
What the fuck kind of bullshit is this?
And so when Obama was using drones to kill people, those drones were pretty much just hello bombs.
Yes, those were friendly hello bombs.
The economist of all people.
I mean, you know, what does this have to do with economic?
I mean, it's just crazy reporting.
The first comment underneath it, bit of exaggeration, don't you think?
First comment.
And then here's this guy, Mike Jollette.
I guess he's a musician who's got a big mouth now.
He discovered politics when Trump got elected.
He has no idea what he's talking about ever.
Mike Gillette goes, it's striking how quickly we've changed since Obama.
We're exactly the same.
This very basic equation of competence plus good intentions for others is absent in the Trump.
What kind of fairyland do you does this guy?
Hey, Mike, did you know Gullibal isn't in the dictionary?
But that's what you're fighting.
You know what I mean?
That's what you're fighting in American culture is that, you know, I'm 50, right?
And I'm of that age where I grew up watching the movies and America is good.
And despite the fact that I'm from a progressive family, I get it that it's all bullshit.
I still harbor these internal feelings.
America, we're good, we're good.
And I'm aware that I have to fight that stereotype and that cultural pressure.
You know what I'm saying?
Do you know what I'm getting at?
That it's just like, it's, oh, no, we are because we want to be good, right?
Because I'm a good person.
You're a good person.
I want our country to be good and doing good things.
But I am aware that we're fucking not.
That's weird.
Our headlines are about things like Russia that mean, you know, at the end of the day, nothing.
At the same time, we're funneling our money, our tax dollars, into oppressing Yemen.
Yes.
We're bombing Yemen, the poorest.
And Barack Obama started that, by the way.
That didn't start under Trump.
That started under Barack Obama.
And here, so just this is how uncorrupt Barack Obama was.
Hey, with the second term assured, Obama's aides, I jobs as lobbyists on K-Street.
Fantastic.
David Sirota was the one who caught this, by the way.
And here's another Barack Obama.
Here's why Obama is approving Arctic drilling again.
Why do you think he did that?
Because he thought it was a really good idea?
Or is it because he's completely corrupted by cash from the oil and fossil fuel industries?
Why do you think he's doing that?
Because he thought it was a good idea, really?
For a leader who has made the sub headline, for a leader who has made climate change a priority, President Barack Obama's decision to approve Royal Dutch Shell's return to oil and gas exploration off Alaska was seen by many environmentalists as a contradiction.
And what's he been doing after he left office?
This is from Bloomberg.
Obama goes from White House to Wall Street in less than one year.
It's not corrupt, right, Mike Gillette, you fucking child.
You know, the United States, remember?
Vietnam, Cambodia.
It was all for, we want to help people.
Unbelievable.
Obama is coming to Wall Street less than a year after leaving the White House, following a path that's well trodden and well paid.
While he can't run for president, he continues to be an influential voice in the party, torn between celebrating and vilifying corporate power.
Is the Democratic Party torn?
It is torn right now.
There's the actual Democrats who want to get corporate money out of the party.
And then there's the corporate Democrats who control the party, like Tom Perez, Nira Tandon, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and the Hillary Clinton wing.
But they're on their way out, it looks like.
His new work with banks, meaning Barack Obama's new work with banks, might suggest which side of the debate he'll be on and disappoint anyone expecting him to avoid a trap that snared Clinton.
Or, as some of his executive friends see it, he's just a private citizen giving a few paid speeches to he's just a regular he was the president of the United States.
He's not just some sort of citizen.
This is the payoff.
Oh, brother.
This is the payoff.
What he's going right now.
This is the, so he did their bidding.
Now the bribe, just like Tom Daschell, when he was the leader of the Democrats in the Senate, he lost his seat.
And right before the Democrats were trying to pass Obamacare, he came back into town to lobby against a public option.
And how did he do it?
He had a $2 million check stuffed in his pocket.
You see what I got?
I'm the former leader.
Look what I got.
You play ball.
You'll get one of these.
And now Barack Obama's getting his.
He's going around doing speeches at $15 million a clip.
So Mike Jollett and the economist writer.
Oh, it doesn't say the author's name.
Just please.
It's just disgusting already.
All right.
It's disgusting.
And it's counterproductive, by the way.
It's counterproductive.
It doesn't hurt Trump when you say shit like that.
Who do you think is you're just because you're only appealing to people who are just as uninformed as you are?
Where is Fox News of all of all places?
They're going to talk.
Did you know?
Of course this has been happening in Congress.
Of course, there's been sexual harassment in Congress.
Of course, there's been suits against the Congressman.
And Fox News is here to let us know about it.
Here they are.
Well, a little-known law that seems to cloak sexual harassment cases against lawmakers in secrecy.
We soon get a makeover.
Under the current framework, accusers are granted the right to sue only if they file a written statement within 180 days, undergo 30 days of counseling, and then mediation.
And in the end, the lawmaker's identity is kept confidential, even if he or she is found guilty.
To top it off, Democratic Congresswoman Jackie Speier says, if there's a settlement, the taxpayers foot the bill and it's paid out of the U.S. Treasury fund, and it never goes public.
It doesn't.
Did you know that?
Oh, no.
Yes.
So that's under the old law.
That's incentive to sexually harass someone.
It almost says, well, you know, I said I'm sorry and the taxpayers will take care of the settlement.
Come over here, let me grab your ass.
So the Congress, so did you know that, so did you know that Congress had that rule that they don't tell you all, isn't it amazing that, so Congress has literally passed rules that when they fucking sexually harass you, there's a rule that protects them.
Isn't that well?
Well, what else would you expect, right?
I guess.
And Fox News is reporting this because sexual harassment is something they've never had issues with.
And by the way, the new law, they haven't, well, by the way, let's watch, watch this.
So there's Jackie Speyer.
She's going to talk about this.
She's going to talk about the new law.
They're going to pass a new law.
And in the new bill, you're allowed to sue Congressperson if they sucker punch you and steal your wallet, but only after 12 Halaris and you run a marathon, then retake the SATs.
They're very serious about it.
Here we go.
In the last 20 years, there have been 260 settlements at a cost to the taxpayers of this country of $15 million.
And why did they do that?
Because Congress is seeing they can get their approval rating down to the single digits.
I think they can do it.
That $50 million has been there to silence victims of all types of workplace discrimination.
Today, we are here to change that.
Abusers and sexual predators have thrived in the shadows in our current system where all the power is deliberately taken away from the survivor.
Congresswoman, I wanted to ask you again, just following on that transparency question.
In the new bill, you will list members' offices and the settlement.
How hard do you think...
So the new bill, they're going to list who gets...
Mm-hmm.
Going to be to convince fellow members to...
It kind of starts to pan to get this guy in.
It's like, no, they're going to start listing the names of the mother.
He's like, support that particular provision because that might be something that people might balk at.
Well, no one should balk at it.
He's getting drive out.
He's getting drive out.
Let's watch.
Here we go.
In the Capitol that is engaged in this kind of conduct.
And if you are engaged in this kind of conduct.
That's called the tell in Congress.
He's like, oh, fuck, I'm engaged in this.
Oh, gotta go.
Here we go.
Let's watch it again.
Here we go.
There shouldn't be an office in the Capitol that is engaged in this kind of conduct.
And if you are engaged in this kind of conduct.
Oh, fuck, I gotta go.
Oh, my God.
I just remembered it's my anniversary.
So here also is what they're focusing on instead of what they're supposed to be focusing on.
Oh, the secret correspondence between Donald Trump Jr. and WikiLeaks.
Oh, my God.
Did you hear WikiLeaks talk to Donald Trump Jr.?
I don't know if you saw that, but it's like every Russian story.
It starts off with a headline, oh my God, they talk.
Oh my God, they're the old talk.
And then nothing.
Fucking nothing.
Just like Donald Trump Jr. meets with a Kremlin-backed lawyer.
Turns out it was just a fucking lawyer.
Turns out that they did exactly the same thing every other campaign does.
They try to get dirt on their opponent from fucking people no matter where they are.
In fact, Hillary Clinton got dirt on Donald Trump from inside the Kremlin that she paid for.
So we fucking know that bullshit, which is why this.
Well, here's the big story.
So here's the WikiLeaks.
I'm you sent me an email asking me about this.
Like, what the fuck's up with Julian Assange?
She was upset.
I was upset too until I looked into it.
So here's the emails.
This is from WikiLeaks.
Hey, a PAC-run anti-Trump site, PutantTrump.org, is about to launch.
They're sending this to Donald Trump Jr.
The PAC is a recycled pro-Iraq war PAC.
We have, guess the password.
It is Putin Trump.
See about for who is behind it.
So they figured out the passcode to the stupid fucking think tank.
And this guy, and Trump Jr. says, off the record, I don't know who that is, but I'll ask around thanks.
They come back, hey, hi, it'd be great if you guys could comment on or push this story.
The story was, Hillary Clinton on Assange.
Can't we just drone bomb him?
That's what Hillary Clinton said.
That's the story he wanted to be pushed, meaning Julian Assange wanted that story to be pushed because the former first lady and former Secretary of State and soon to be president said she wants to assassinate a news guy for releasing news that wasn't beneficial to her.
That would be like if Nixon said, hey, can't we shoot Daniel Ellsberg?
That's the equivalent of what that is.
So that's why he wanted him to push that.
And according to the Atlantic magazine, this is a big fucking story.
Okay, here's the next one.
Donald Trump says, already did that earlier today.
It's amazing what she can get away with.
What's behind this Wednesday leak I keep reading about?
He was asking because Roger Stone was tweeting out shit about, hey, there's some stuff coming out tomorrow about Hillary Clinton.
And so Donald Trump Jr. was asking Julian Assange, what's that about?
What is he talking about?
They don't respond.
They don't answer him.
But a couple days later, they say, hey, Donald, great to see you and your dad talking about our publications.
Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us.
And then there's a link to a bunch of information they got on, because I, you guys can get all your followers digging through the content.
So there's all this stuff.
Go dig through it, see what you find.
There's many great stories there.
The press are missing, and we're sure some of your followers will find it.
So that's, by the way, this is all normal shit.
Imagine if that was the New York Times talking to a campaign.
Doesn't make nothing's wrong with that, right?
This is WikiLeaks.
By the way, we just released Podesta Emails Part 4.
Hey, Don, and they don't respond.
Hey, Don, we have an unusual idea.
Leak us one or more of your father's tax returns.
The benefits are this.
Most of the harm has already been done by the New York Times and preempted by your father's tax write-downs.
Two, it's possible that any moment they could come out through the most biased source, New York Times, MSNBC, who will distort them into the worst possible Light.
So they're trying to get the Trump campaign to give them some info that they could publish that's fucking great, right?
And they're trying to say whatever they can to Donald Trump Jr. to get him to say it.
And that's what that is.
It's like that's something journalists do.
Something journalists would do.
That's something journalists would do to a source.
They get a source to give their information.
So it keeps going.
And here's, if we publish them, if they publish the tax documents of Donald Trump, it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality.
This is the real kicker.
That means that the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing about Clinton will have much higher impact because it won't be perceived as coming from a pro-Trump, pro-Russian source, which the Clinton campaign is constantly slandering us with.
You can email them here.
They don't, they never responded to that.
Here's how The Atlantic covered that email.
I'm just going to show you how The Atlantic covered it.
The Atlantic said, if we publish them, it will dramatically improve the perception of our impartiality, WikiLeaks explained.
That means the vast amount of stuff that we are publishing on Clinton will have much higher impact because it won't be perceived as coming from a Tro-Trump, pro-Russian source.
And they didn't put the last part of the sentence.
Of course.
The last part of the sentences, which is what the fucking Clinton campaign keeps slandering us with.
That's the important part of the sentence.
They leave it out because it makes it look like they're trying to do something nefarious, which they fucking aren't.
They're doing exactly what a goddamn news organization is supposed to do, talk to a campaign and get fucking information that they could publish.
And so the Atlantic is doing the job of the CIA and the establishment and giving you only a part of the fucking story, which is why people get their news from fucking YouTube.
That bitch, that bit would have went over great in a ha-has in Nebraska.
Or even in San Diego.
So there we have it.
So they're clap.
This is exactly what we're talking about.
This is exactly, oh my God, Dodd Jr. talked to you talk to WikiLeaks.
We're going to have he's going to be in prison in a second.
And then it comes out and it's just fucking normal shit.
It's all normal shit.
Oh my God, Donald Trump colluded with people inside the Kremlin to get negative information on Hillary Clinton.
Turns out Hillary Clinton colluded with people inside the Kremlin to get negative.
So it's the exact same shit.
Now you watch the show, so you know that that's bullshit.
And here we are.
So if you were, now I brought this up because Laura was very worried about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
And she emailed me and she says, hey, what the fuck is going on?
And I told you, don't worry.
I'll do a video on it and explain it.
And here we are doing a video on it.
You're in it and I'm explaining it.
Now, what do you think about it now?
I feel much better about it.
Okay.
I mean, I blame Steph and Jim for kind of letting me know what's going on in the world.
I was happier before I started reading the news because of this fucking show.
Because of Dora, I can't play with my dogs anymore.
So what do you think about that?
I'm going to ask you as the audience, does anybody so did you see this story and freak out about it and then not know that the Atlantic cut that part out of the story?
And did you actually even read the emails?
Because I read the emails and when I read them, I'm like, this is fucking bullshit.
This isn't a story.
This is exactly the same bullshit about Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Kremlin-backed lawyer who's just a fucking lawyer from Russia who had dick anyway.
So this is all, again, this is all nothing.
And as Edward Snowden has told us, they have every email, they have every text, they have every cell phone call, they have everything.
Plus, they have every network.
They know whose computers are connected to whose, who's downloading what at every second.
And Edward Snowden said if the Russians did that, they would fucking know already and they would release it.
Also, Bill Binney said it's bullshit, who is the head NSA hacker, who is the Einstein of the NSA.
So again, you know this.
You watch the show.
I feel like every once in a while I forget I'm talking to you and I feel like I'm talking to regular people and I'm not.
I'm talking to you because you watch this show.
So you know this is bullshit and you know it's always been bullshit and here we are in the middle of it.
So this is do you think this is what it felt like in the 50s and they're in the red scare?
Yeah.
I mean Jill Stein, she's a Putin.
She had fucking sat at a dinner table with Putin and now she's part of the red problem.
It's just unbelievable.
It's like any, it is like the 50s.
It is.
Anyone that just like, oh, I went to one communist meeting in the 50s and then I lose.
I'm not allowed to write and show business anymore.
Like that, how many people did that happen to?
So when do we get to, let me ask the panel this.
When do we get to that moment where somebody says, have you no decency, sir?
Have you no decency?
Because that's what happened and that's what stopped at McCarthy's and shit.
Somebody finally said to him, have you no decency?
I don't know who the fuck that was, but I saw it a million times.
You've all seen it.
We all know that moment.
I don't know who that guy is.
Good luck.
It's a good, I remember the movie title.
I remember the movie.
Yeah, it's a good fucking movie.
So when do we get to that point?
When does someone on the left stand up to the left and say, fucking have you no decency, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Joyanne Reed, Jake fucking Tapper?
When are you going to start telling the truth?
I see us having a fractionalized multiple city civil war that's just going to detreat the entire country.
We can only hope, Graham.
We can only hope.
Here's what The Atlantic actually concluded from that article.
They go, the message exchanged with WikiLeaks adds a second instance in which Trump Jr. appears eager to obtain damaging information about Hillary Clinton despite its providence.
Why would you use a word like Providence unless you're trying to fucking bullshit people?
That's what that is.
That is Smarty Pants writers pushing propaganda so they can get a fucking promotion at their bullshit news organization by pushing Red Scare McCarthyism propaganda.
Providence only matters when you're buying an antique, by the way.
Yes, thank you.
Providence only this week we celebrated Thanksgiving, or as it's now known, Black Friday Eve.
For me, the end of November always comes with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I'm depressed that the year is over so soon.
But on the other hand, no, that's pretty much how I feel.
Very little gets done between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day unless you consider drinking an accomplishment, which I'm starting to.
Here in Los Angeles, the holidays bring slightly cooler weather and an uneasy sense of having one less year in which to make it in show business.
With Thanksgiving, our thoughts return again and again to the importance of family, no matter how much we try to think of something else.
That's why millions of people can't wait for dinner to be over so they can go shopping.
It's easy to forget as we wander across the world with our own private concerns and agendas that the point of everything may possibly just be money.
Anyway, that would explain why, for some of us, this time of year feels empty and meaningless, because it is.
That's our show.
Big thanks to Eddie Pepito, Laura Keitlinger, Dave Ratnips, Peter Douche, and Grab Elwood for being our guests.
Today's show was written.
That's right.
It was written by Rod Clacode, Mike McRae, Brian Gradillo at Steph Zamarano, Steve Rosenfield, and Jim Earle.
All the voices today performed by the one and the only, the inimitable Mike McRae, who can be found at mikemcray.com.
Today's show produced by the one and the only Brian Gradillo.
That's it for this week.
Until next week, this is Jimmy Doh saying you be the best you can be and I'll keep being me.
