Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Oh, boy, it's former Governor Mitt Romney calling.
Hello.
Hi, all, Jimmy.
It's the Mitt Rimney Ramen on your ding-dong and zip-zippity zong and bonana fanafofomne Romney.
Let's play the name game.
I don't want to play the name game, please.
Okay, Door.
Bo Beer, Bobor, Banana, Bannifo, Ford, T5, Dodo.
Dad, your name sucks.
This isn't working.
I'm sorry about that.
How about if I just call you Pepper?
When I was little, I had a dog name, Pepper.
Pepper is a spice.
I like pepper on my salad.
Do you like pepper on your salad?
Sometimes.
Good for you, but that's not why I called.
I called to talk about something much less important, those brave young men and women in Iran.
You mean the protesters?
Yes, Jimmy.
It's profoundly moving to watch freedom seekers seeking freedom in a godless country full of mud huts like Iran.
A hearty kudos to them all.
They're on the streets chanting death to their president, demanding an end to government corruption and religious fundamentalism.
If you were president, how would you react if that happened here in America?
Oh, I'd slaughter them like rabbits.
Really?
Then I'd cut off their heads and drink their blood and shit out their guts like a Jackson Pollock painting.
Say, aren't you going to ask me if I'm going to run for Orin Hatch's Senate seat?
Are you going to run for Orin Hatch's Senate seat?
Go, Josh, Jimmy.
I'm really not at liberty to say anything definite at this point in time.
I can only repeat what the midstream media is saying.
That Orrin Hatch's retirement is opening up a path for Mitt Romney.
That Mitt Romney is quietly preparing to run for the Utah Senate seat.
And in Germany, Romney Fotizim Kumbach sit at Fatengebachen.
That's right.
Put on your mittens, kittens, because the Rom is here.
And you want him near.
The ROM is no longer gone, Mon.
Yo, watch me walk.
Good God Almighty.
Mitt Romney is eyeing a political resurgence.
If you decide to run, do you think you'll win?
Oh, the Mitt Romney will win.
You can count on that.
Want to know why?
Because Romney, and only Romney, knows how to fix Obamacare.
How?
Call it Romney Care again, you fuck dirt.
What are you two?
You once said Donald Trump was unfit to serve as president.
Now, if you become senator, will you stand up to him again?
Oh, golly, no.
I'll cave like sister wife number 12 on a Salt Lake Witness stand.
I'll support him harder than my wife's whalebone corset.
I'll fall in line faster than something that falls in line.
So hop in my romster.
It's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail.
Okay, thanks.
Bye.
And don't forget to bring your jukebox money.
Yeah.
It's the Jimmy Door Show.
the show for up-minded, lowly-lovered lefties.
The kind of people It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's our popular T Value.
And now, there's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
It's Jimmy Door.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Don't forget, February 16th.
That's a Friday, February 16th, Friday.
That's our next live Jimmy Door show in Burbank, California.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for leaks.
February 16th.
Let's get to the joke before we get to the joke, shall we?
Hey, did you hear what happened?
Trump says Bannon not only lost his job, but Bannon lost his mind.
That's what Trump says about Steve.
Because, you know, Bannon came out and said Trump is going to be arrested for money laundering.
That's what Bannon said.
And he said Trump Jr. committed treason.
That's what Bannon said in a new book.
That's how.
That's where this is coming from.
And Trump says Bannon not only lost his job, but he lost his mind.
I say, yeah, because before then, he was a stable, rational, racist, sexist pedophile promoting anti-summit.
You know, Trump's kids grew up privileged.
We know that.
Chauffeurs and what have you.
Being thrown under the bus by Steve Bannon is Donald Trump Jr.'s first experience with public transportation.
By the way, Pasadena had the big rose parade, had the big rose parade on New Year's Day, as they always do.
And if you missed the Pasadena Rose Parade, the Trader Joe's float wasn't able to make it out of its own parking lot.
And the Kaiser Permanente float got fined $7 million for delaying the liver treatment float.
I don't know if you know there's a big cold break in the Northeast, and I don't know about you, but I'd rather die in a snowbank than have to listen to Andrew Cuomo talk about one.
You know, I love how self-described defenders of women like to blame two women, Susan Saran and Jill Stein, for Donald Trump's victimization of women.
Isn't that nice?
A self-confessed sexual assaulter and penis sides comparererer, Donald Trump, just boasted his nuclear button was bigger than Kim Jong-un's.
There must be a woman we can blame for this.
I know, Susan Saranda.
Hey, the Washington Post just released an analysis showing that there's still little evidence that Russia's 2016 social media effort did much of anything to influence voters.
There must be some way to blame this article on Jill Stein.
Am I right, Pete?
Guess what?
I had a bag of uncooked rice and it fell into the toilet, so I put it inside a bag with my iPhone.
And now I have cholera.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
Jake Tapper sides with Donald Trump and the move of the Israel capital to Jerusalem.
I'm not kidding.
We're going to talk about it.
Plus, we're going to let you know the new corporate scheme to screw Bernie Sanders in 2020.
Howard Dean reveals it on Morning Joe Ball.
Plus, CNN's been screwed up so bad, they brought on David Frum, a guy who thought the Iraq war was a great idea, to come defend journalism on CNN.
Not kidding.
Plus, we got phone calls today from Jeff Sessions, Mitt Romney, and Scarabucci might even make an appearance.
We'll see.
That's coming up, plus a lot, lot more on today's Jimmy Dore Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Jimmy Door Show.
I'm here with the miserable liberal and Rod Placode.
Hi.
Hello.
Hey, guess what?
So, you know, Trump is acknowledging the Jerusalem as the capital, Israel.
That's very problematic.
It signals an end to the two-state solution.
And it just looks like they just want to beat up on the Palestinians and keep it in occupied territory.
That's what it seems like.
It's an open-air prison.
And so the UN was getting ready to draft a resolution condemning the move, the capital to the Jerusalem.
And, well, here's what Nikki Haley said at the UN.
The United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation.
We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the world's largest contribution to the United Nations.
And we will remember it when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit.
America will put our embassy in Jerusalem.
That is what the American people want us to do.
And it is the right thing to do.
No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that.
But this vote will make a difference on how Americans look at the U.N. And on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the U.N. And this vote will be remembered.
Thank you.
Hey, don't disrespect us.
Hey, we got like a long memory.
You know what I'm saying?
You don't want to disrespect us.
So they did.
They disrespected them.
This is from the Guardian.
The U.N. Votes resoundingly and rejects Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital.
And the sub headline there is the United Nations bodies debate and vote highlighted for a second time in a week.
The internationals isolate international isolation of the United States over the Jerusalem issue.
Tell the U.N. That the North remembers.
Angie said American people.
I was never consulted.
Were you guys?
I was a consultant.
Jimmy, you were not?
Yeah.
I was sitting here thinking to myself, when was the...
the last time I sat down with friends and were like move the embassy exactly come on and we're gonna remember the people who have Prince Bombs remembers so here's from the this is from the Guardian they go the United Nations General Assembly has delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump voting by a huge majority to reject his unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital the vote came after a redoubling of threats by Nikki Haley and the U.S. ambassador to the UN who said that Washington would remember
which country is disrespected.
Don't disrespect me in public.
You're going to disrespect me in the lobby of the Bally's hotel.
Despite the warning, 128 members, 128 countries voted on Thursday in favor of the resolution, supporting the longstanding international consensus that the status of Jerusalem, which is claimed as a capital by both Israel and the Palestinians can only be settled as, as an agreed final issue in a peace deal.
which voted for the resolution included major recipients of U.S. aid such as Egypt Afghanistan and Iraq they all bucked Nikki Haley and Trump and the State Department and the United States and they voted for this thing so those are the people they are threatening are you gonna get our those some of the people Nikki was threatening we're gonna take our money away although largely symbolic by the way it's just a symbolic vote the vote in an emergency session of the world body had been the focus of days of furious diplomacy by both the Trump administration and
Israel including Trump's threat to cut off U.S. funding to countries that did not back the U.S. recognition but only nine states meaning nine countries including the United States and Israel voted against the resolution so that means without United States and Israel only seven other countries in the entire world even with all the money we give these people all the military they still wouldn't go along with us we're obviously in the wrong here the United States is obviously super duper wrong here the other countries
what supported Washington were Togo.
But they make some great sandwiches.
You go to Togo's?
I do.
All the time.
Micronesia, right?
But they make some great software.
The Micronesia.
I get the Windows.
Did you get Windows?
Micronesia.
Nehru.
They make those great jackets.
All right.
Those Nehru jackets.
Palau.
Nehru Palau is actually a game you can play in a swimming pool.
Nehru Palau.
The Marshall Islands.
And Guatemala and Honduras.
Those were the countries supporting us.
And you didn't even have to forget Poland.
This is similar to like during the Iraq War where everyone was against it.
Yeah.
Except for a handful of countries that was just like, yeah, we're just okay, United States.
So it's obvious we're totally in the wrong.
22 of the 28 European Union countries voted for the resolution.
So Europe is behind this.
Who else?
Who in Europe is against the United States and Israel on this?
on this, who the UK...
France Germany which in the past has abstained on measures relating to Israel decided to vote in favor this time so our biggest allies in Europe against us on this the UK 35 countries abstained including five Eastern European states and other U.S. allies including Australia Canada Colombia and Mexico they abstained but guess what they did do like for instance the ambassadors from several abstaining countries including Mexico used their time on
the podium to criticize Trump's unilateral move.
So even though they didn't vote for this, they abstained.
They still went and made a speech against Trump and the move.
And so here it is.
Here's the vote.
The General Assembly is now voting on draft resolution A slash ES dash 10 slash L22 entitled Status of Jerusalem.
So in favor, 128 against eight, and then we have the 29 abstentions.
So it's very obvious, right, to everybody that, again, the United States is in the wrong in the Middle East once again, like we always are in the Middle East.
Isn't that amazing?
We're always getting it wrong in the Middle East, and it's got nothing to do with oil or the petrodollar.
So here is Jake Tapper covering it.
So did anybody see this?
No, I did not.
Here is Jake Tapper.
Now, I used to call Jake Tapper a straight shooter.
I always thought he was earnest and tried.
He just was in a bubble and he gets things wrong sometimes.
That is no longer true.
So I'm going to watch you.
I'm going to
going to play this for you so now you know the story so now I'm going to show you how Jake Tapper the CNN lead newsman how he I don't know maybe they say Anderson Cooper is but here here he is Jake Tapper here's how he covered that story this may be one of the most disgusting pieces of journalism I've ever seen this this may be the worst thing I've ever seen yesterday how United States ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said the U.S. would be taking names of countries that supported a resolution critical of the Trump administration's decision to
recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital well let's hope Haley brought a lot of pens and paper because 128 countries voted against the United States today many of them U.S. allies only nine countries voted with the U.S. So a lot of the U.S. allies voted in favor of it.
I bet he's going to highlight those countries that are our allies who voted in favor of it, right?
35 abstentions.
Among the 128 countries that voted to condemn the U.S. on this issue were some countries with some rather questionable records of their own.
You mean like Sweden, Norway, France, the UK, Germany?
You mean like those countries?
Venezuela's representative today.
The world is not for sale.
The world is not for sale, and your threats imperil global peace.
The U.S. imperils global peace, says the representative of Venezuela, a country in a humanitarian disaster with violence in the streets and economy in complete collapse.
Citizens malnourished, dying children being turned away from hospitals, starving families joining street gangs to scrounge for food.
On what moral platform does the government of Venezuela stand today?
Not to be outdone, of course, the U.S. Wow.
What is he doing?
What he's doing is called propaganda.
That's what he's doing.
He's backing the Trump White House on this.
So Jake Tapper decided instead of doing the story we just did, highlighting how horrible Israel is and how they're in the United States, and that we're being universally condemned, even after the threat of money.
That's the story.
Jake Tapper is deciding to tell you that the people who voted against the United States, they're the ones who are wrong.
That's what he's doing right now.
You know, they have that term now, what about ism, which is often misapplied, by the way.
This is what whataboutism is.
This is him doing propaganda for the government.
Well, and also, I want to point out another thing, and this is problematic on so many levels, but just the exceptionalism that's going on here, too.
He framed it as you're voting against the United States.
You're not voting against the United States.
You're voting against or in favor.
You're not voting against the United States by voting in favor of this.
You're voting for something that affects the world stage.
You're voting for a particular issue that affects the entire world.
That's why you get to vote on it in the first place.
You're not voting against the United States.
The world does not revolve around the United States.
Right.
So it gets worse.
Also got an earful today from Syria.
We're in the seventh year of the brutal Syrian civil war that has killed half a million people and displaced millions.
Syrian president.
That was funded by the United States.
We were in bed with Al-Qaeda and El Nusra and ISIS and Syria.
The CIA was training them, funding them.
We were the ones fomenting that civil war.
We were doing that.
He doesn't mention that.
Why is he even bringing this up?
Why is he even doing this?
Bashar al-Assad has used chemical weapons against his own citizens, including children.
So he just repeats.
He just says that's a patent lie.
That's a lie.
If you investigate any of these things, you know that's a lie.
And so he just, now he's just pushing it forward as a fact.
You know it's a lie, right, Ron?
That there was no chemical attack by Assad ever on his own people.
The two that they said he did have been disproven.
This is disgusting.
Def, do you want to say something?
Yes, because at the very beginning of his story here, every time he's, all right, all he has to do is the next country that he states, just roll his eyes.
That's like, get a load of them.
They have crime in their country.
They have civil war, civil unrest.
Kids are starving.
People in the street want better lives.
Look at them.
How many people die in the United States because they can't get healthy?
Exactly.
30 million people don't have health care in America.
Jake Tapper, it gets worse.
Also feeling a bit preachy ticket today.
Yemen, which helped draft the resolution.
Yemen, who we are currently committing a genocide against them.
It's a disaster.
And we're doing that.
We're doing it.
We're starving people, children, old people.
We're selling cluster bombs to be used in Saudi Arabia.
We're doing all that stuff.
So this is like international war propaganda, scapegoating, red herring, misleading.
This is xenophobia all wrapped into one like five-minute report.
Like they got it all.
This is worth.
It gets worse.
It's going to get worse.
I can't believe it.
It gets worse.
I mean, the U.S. seemingly more focused, at least during the speech, on where the U.S. puts its embassy in Israel than on the 7 million Yemenis on the brink of starvation in that country's civil war.
You can do both.
You can condemn the move of the capital to Jerusalem, and you can worry about the people in Yemen.
I'm sure the government of Yemen is worried about the people in Yemen that we're fucking killing, Jake.
We're doing that.
The United States, in conjunction with Saudi Arabia, the most oppressive regime in the world is killing innocent people and babies and children.
They're doing what they call surge warfare, which is a war crime.
And we're doing it.
We're doing it.
This is mind-blowing.
Now, if you ever before thought Jake Tapper was a good newsman, here's a video letting you know who Jake Tapper is.
Jake Tapper is a propagandist of the highest order, of the highest order.
And I'll play the rest of this.
In light of the sensitive circumstances that our region is experiencing and which constitute a threat to international peace and security.
Yemen concerned with stability in the region.
Interesting.
There are plenty of policies and actions that are perfectly valid to criticize about the United States and about Israel.
And certainly whether this move will help the peace process in any way seems one of them.
But listening to these countries, including North Korea and Myanmar and Turkey and China lecturing the United States in any way about human rights and peace might seem a bit much.
But here is a bit of context that you might not know.
How about all the other countries?
He doesn't even mention the U. How about the UK lecturing us?
How about France lecturing us?
How about Norway?
How about Sweden?
What?
How do they prepare this segment?
What?
Like, what are they just like, they're just like, make a list of the countries that voted in favor that are easiest for us to shit on and give me some good sound clips.
What is he doing?
What is this in aid of?
That they're wrong?
They're right on this, Jake.
According to UN Watch, which monitors the United Nations, the United Nations General Assembly from 2012 through 2015 has adopted 97 resolutions specifically criticizing an individual country.
And of those 97, 83 of them have focused on Israel.
That is 86%.
Now, certainly Israel is not above criticism.
So this is about anti-Semitism, Ron.
That's what he's saying.
Wow.
This is anti-Semitic.
This is anti-Semitism.
That's what he's claiming.
So it doesn't matter that Israel.
So is the UK anti-Semitic?
Is France anti-Semitic?
We know Germany used to be.
Really?
This is what Jake Tapper's doing.
There's a little more.
But considering the genocide of the Rohingya people in Myanmar, the lack of basic human rights in North Korea, the children starving.
There's lots of bad shit going on.
And guess what?
What's happening in Israel and Palestine is also one of them.
So now you can never fix a problem because there's other problems around, according to Jake Tapper.
Jake Tapper, I can't even think of the words that I want to use to describe what he's doing right now and what kind of a person he is.
So Jake Tapper is forever off the good guy list.
Does he end this segment with give it up for the troops and airline food is whack?
Because I feel like that's the only way he can dismount.
I feel like that's the only way.
In the streets of Venezuela, the citizens of Syria targeted for murder by their own leader using the most grotesque and painful of weapons.
You have to ask, is Israel truly deserving of 86% of the world's condemnation?
Or possibly is something else afoot at the United Nations?
Something.
Here it is.
Wow.
Without he.
It allows the representative of the Assad government to lecture the United States for moving its M That's I that is the most disgusting thing I have seen in journalism.
That's there it is and he's doing it with a straight face at the top of his lungs on CNN.
And you wonder why people get their news from YouTube?
You wonder why people don't trust establishment news.
You wonder why they don't trust.
You wonder why when Trump says it's fake news, it lands, even though what he's doing right here is taking Trump's side in the most disingenuous, sophomoric, bullshit way possible.
You notice he doesn't have another guest on when he does this because nobody else would sit through this.
He doesn't have anybody else on to talk about this.
This is just Jake Tapper at 240 miles an hour doing propaganda.
And he's doing it at the behest of the Trump White House.
That's what he's doing.
This is your resistance, because he's one of the big resistance guys on Twitter.
Jake Tapper is.
Jake Tapper, the opposite of a newsman.
He's the opposite.
Now, we always knew people at CNN and MSNBC.
They're not real newsmen, right?
They're not going to ever say anything that he gets, I'm going to guess $30,000, $40,000 a day.
They're never going to say anything that jeopardizes that.
And that's why he does this, because he is a paid liar.
Jake Tapper is a paid fucking bullshit propagandist.
And does anybody disagree with this after seeing that?
I mean, how is your mind blown, Ron?
This is pretty impressive as far as all of the propaganda tools they've wrapped into one report.
You know, usually they cut it off at like, you know, two or three, but this one has, I mean, I rattled off at least like five, like from international war.
If you guys are against the capital being moved to Jerusalem, you're anti-Semitic, according to Jake Tapper.
Yeah.
You're anti-Semitic.
All these countries.
All these countries.
128 countries.
Wow.
It doesn't get worse than that.
And Jake Tapper doesn't deserve to call himself a journalist.
He's not.
He's a propagandist.
He's a TV talker.
He's a fucking newsreader.
He's not a journalist.
Jake Tapper's the opposite.
This is worse than just this is horrible.
And people are afraid that Trump's talking about World War III.
This guy's propping up the thing that's going to lead to World War III.
Jake Tapper is right now.
Jake Tapper misinforming everyone.
He's making you think that the world is fucked up and Trump and Netanyahu have it right.
That's according to Jake Tapper right now.
The world is messed up.
The whole world is messed up.
You know who got it right?
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu got it right.
The whole world is wrong.
Jake Tapper's here to tell you Trump got it right.
The headlight of this video clip should be, Jake Tapper sides with Trump and Netanyahu against Palestinians.
This is unbelievable.
And by the way, he'll pay no price for this.
In fact, he'll get a raise for doing this.
He will pay no price.
His other journalist friends won't ever bring it up to him because it would be impolite.
And they'll all joke with each other.
And Donna Brazil go on his show and they'll all joke.
And when they see each other at the convention, Chris Hayes will goof around with them.
And Anderson Cooper, they'll all goof around.
And meanwhile, he'll go hashtag resistance.
This fucking jerk.
That's amazing.
What a jerk this guy.
What a complete puke of a person Jake Tapper is.
And that's not hyperbole.
I can't think, there aren't words written yet to fully describe what a piece of shit he's being right now.
You want me to say that?
You don't want to say that.
No, no, I'm taking the rule off.
I had a rule.
I wasn't going to refer to people as pieces of shit.
Jake Tapper, I will never, ever let him forget about this.
And again, it's not going to hurt.
He doesn't care about what a Jagoff YouTube guy says.
He doesn't care what you think.
He's trying to bullshit you right now.
That's what Jake Tapper's doing.
Hey, don't look over here.
Look over here.
And he's literally propping up the Trump regime and their march to World War III in the Middle East.
That's what he's doing right now.
And nobody's going to call him out.
Is the Washington Post going to call him out for that?
No, they're on board.
They want more war.
It's good for business.
Sells a lot of papers.
War sell a lot of papers.
You know what else does?
McCarthyism sells a lot of papers.
Gets a lot of clicks.
I don't know.
Could anybody want to wrap it up?
Because I don't know what else to say.
Jake Tapper officially off the list of journalists.
Officially, I used to give him way too much credit.
Well, I'll just say, you know, this reminds me of a time years ago when the corporate media tried to convince us that the rest of the world was wrong and Bush was right.
And Bush was right.
And we all know how that worked out.
Right.
The rest of the world was against us going into Iraq.
They were wrong then too, I guess, right, Jake?
Oh, that's right.
Remember when Jake used to stand up against the Iraq war?
No, me neither.
Remember when he stood up against Libya?
Me neither.
Remember when he made a stink over Honduras?
Me neither.
By the way, Honduras voted with the United States on this.
Did you decide to talk about them, Jake?
No.
Wow.
So if you ever, ever make the mistake of thinking Jake Tapper is a journalist, I'll just show you this video.
Wow.
Please make sure you're subscribed and click the bell so you get a notification when we drop videos because they're not letting people know and they're unsubscribing people because they want you to watch shit like this.
This is what YouTube and Google want you to watch.
That's what they're pushing now, mainstream news on YouTube.
That's what they're pushing.
That's why you'll see a CNN clip.
Before, our show used to get 100, 200, 300,000 views all the time.
Now we got to struggle to get half that.
And CNN's clips, no one used to watch their clips.
They'd have 200, 300 views.
Now they get 2, 3 million because they want you to watch this.
This is what the establishment wants you to watch.
So you got to make an effort to make sure you can still see this show.
Make sure you're subscribed.
Make sure you click the bell when you hit subscribe.
Make sure you check to make sure you're subscribed if you care.
And if you come to our live show February 16th, that's a great way to help support us.
We'll be in Burbank, California.
Thanks for your support.

Now let's get on to the second half.
Oh, look, it's a call from CNN regular Anthony Scaramucci.
Hello.
Hey, Jimmy, call me the mooch or moochie, okay?
Okay.
But please don't call me Tony or Smoochie.
You're not going to call me Smoochie, are you?
Good, because I'm pretty much a practical, common sense-oriented guy like our president.
But call me Smoochie and I'll rip your face off.
Get it?
It's just my thing.
Why do you think Donald Trump is a common sense-orientated guy?
Because he is, all right?
Because he got out of that climate accord thing.
And my prediction is that sometime at the end of 2018, people are going to look back at him and say, wow, he had a lot of common sense for getting out of the climate accord.
Why?
You ask a lot of questions for such a little guy.
How tall are you?
It doesn't matter.
Alliances are made to be broken.
My dad taught me that.
He threw me out of the house when I was seven.
I'm kidding.
That never happened.
But what if it had, right?
Anyway, I thought I had very strong alliances with people in the White House that I, in fact, did not have.
It's kill or be killed.
I'm proud I lasted 10 old days.
I gained a lot of experience even though I was a victim.
But I admire that about the president.
He makes business decisions.
That's different from the government.
In business, you're on top one second, and the next they stab out your fucking eye with an ice pick.
Jimmy smokes on you.
I only have pot.
And besides, we're on the phone.
How can I give you a smoke?
You can't get intoxicated.
In the White House, everybody was high on power.
One second, you're on top, and guess what happens to you the next?
They stab your fucking eye out with an ice pick?
A fucking ice pick.
Donald really didn't want to sign the Paris Accord and go along with the crowd.
He's an entrepreneur, a man of business.
Guys like that diverge from crowd thinking.
You go with the crowd too long, and before you know it, you're standing in line, a long line leading through a darkened hallway.
And before you know it, you got a fucking ice pick sticking out where your eye used to be.
So you have no hard feelings towards Trump.
Heck no.
Like I said, my prediction is sometime at the end of 2018, people are going to look back at him and say, wow, he had a lot of common sense for sticking a fucking ice pick in my head.
In this business, you come and you go.
It was my time to go.
No hard feelings.
I'm fine with it.
But Steve Bannon is a loser.
I've seen this guy operate.
It's his way or the highway.
That's the way he was over there.
The first pill you take is the anti-friendship pill.
You can be my friend for 30 years, but I'm going to stab your eyeball out with an ice pick if it gets me more power.
The second pill you take is the power is aphrodisiac pill.
Students of history know the power corrupts and the corrupts absolutely.
And then they stab your fucking eyeball out with an ice pick.
It's not just any ice pick, a dirty one.
One you wouldn't want your sister to see.
That's how these people operate, and I respect them for it.
But now I've said too much.
It's all over for the mooch.
All right, buddy.
Thanks, buddy.
All right.
I want to talk about what's happening now because the corporate Democrats realize that they have a problem.
They realize that they keep losing and they're losers.
And they realize that Bernie Sanders platform is popular.
What do I mean about his platform?
I mean free college tuition at state universities.
I mean Medicare for all.
I also mean a living wage, which is a $15 minimum wage.
We could stop there.
So everyone knows these are popular things, super popular.
And so instead of the corporate Democrats saying we've got to be for this stuff, and maybe let's get behind Bernie, they're now finding myriad ways to not get behind Bernie.
So they're finding ways to, again, say, well, now they're saying he's too old or this.
And well, watch what I'm going to show you who are Howard Dean.
Now, Howard Dean, this is not Howard Dean.
That's not him.
Howard Dean, when he ran for president, he was trying to beat George Bush in his second term.
He was against the Iraq war.
And he would start off, Howard Dean would start off his speeches by saying, I'm from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party, meaning the Democrats became warmongering Republicans, which they did.
And so that's why he had a lot of enthusiasm, just like Bernie had.
And then the establishment press squashed him, just like they tried to squash Bernie, except things are 10 years later, 10 years worse.
And so people didn't let the establishment media squash Bernie like it did.
Plus, there's no YouTube shows.
There's the Young Turks.
There's lots of stuff that can get the message out about Bernie.
If Howard Dean had us back then, maybe he would have won.
Maybe he would have stayed in the race instead of getting drummed out of the establishment media totally smeared him, made him seem like he was crazy.
Oh, didn't they do that to Bernie?
And so now Howard Dean then sold out.
He works for the biggest lobbyist law firm in the world.
And he went from being a progressive to now being against single-payer Medicare, all that stuff.
He's the anti-what you want, Howard Dean.
So now he's on Morning Joe Ball, and they're asking him about what did the progressives do going forward.
By the way, he's not a progressive, so I don't know why they keep asking, you know, why don't you ask Bob Dole what the progressives are going to do going forward?
What the F?
Why do people, so because it's an establishment corporate news show and they pretend guys like Howard Dean know what they're talking about and are progressive.
Well, and he might follow a few on Twitter.
We don't know.
It's possible.
He blocked me a long time ago.
So here we go.
Listen to this question by let's talk about Howard, where the progressive movement is right now as somebody who so has represented and been invested in it from the women's march forward.
The women's march forward energy for progressive from the women's march forward.
I didn't know the women's march was a progressive march.
Well, there were no progressives during the primary.
You're like, that wasn't a thing.
The primary just kind of came and went.
The more popular person just kind of won.
There was no shenanigans at all.
And then Trump won.
Who saw that coming?
And all of a sudden, it was like, oh, progressives, we should do something.
Now the progressives, then the progressives woke up.
That's when they started.
So according to him, that's, yeah.
I think it's funny that Willie's asking Howard Dean about progressive.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It's just the most ridiculous thing ever.
And God forbid they actually get a progressive on the panel that day.
Right?
I guess they weren't available.
They're not.
I'm never available for them, I guess.
Here we go.
How does that translate going forward?
Can they keep up that energy?
Well, I actually think the progressives are in the process of informally taking over the Democratic Party.
So that happened, in a sense, already, but they're using power to thwart the progressive wing.
Like in California, we showed up.
We voted for the progressive delegates to take over the party in California.
Turns out they have superdelegates at the state level.
So even though we're the majority of the elected, they had unelected ones, delegates, and they thwarted the takeover of the Democratic Party in California by progressives.
We were going to have a progressive takeover of the party, and they did this, they did the screwing, and they rig a system.
And now we got literally a pharmaceutical lobbyist as the head of the California Democratic Party.
And don't you just love how Howard Dean put a bow on that one?
Informally.
What's the verbiage he used?
They informally took it over.
Meaning they have the majority and they have all the ideas people actually want.
They just don't have the power.
That would mean they formally took it over.
Yeah, we haven't formally taken it over because Tom Perez is still the head of the DNC.
And right now he's, well, let's listen to the rest of this and then we'll talk about it.
The country has moved to the left.
It's shocking to me, but a majority of Americans think Medicare for all is a good idea.
I mean, and that.
You're a physician.
Why would that be shocking to you?
Is he shocked that people came around to it?
Or are you, is he shocked that people like this plan?
That's not good.
I think he sounds like the latter, right?
Yeah, because it's never worked anywhere in the world.
He has no case studies to look to.
When did the American people start looking at other countries for ideas?
I mean, that's what I'm shocked about.
They actually looked to Canada.
Did they actually look to Europe?
What's wrong?
Did they look to Russia?
Maybe that's, we focused too much on Russia, and now people know even Russia has single payer.
Just what I want.
That's a face of a guy who's bullshitting, by the way.
What does that look like to you?
A bullshitter.
Bullshitter.
Did you want to say something?
Well, just the idea that here we have this super delegate have no awareness what people want.
Yeah, he's a super detherway.
He's a super delegate.
Has no idea.
Look at him.
What that is is my donors don't want this.
And I've pretended that people didn't want it for a long time, but now it's pretty clear everybody knows people want this.
So I got to go.
People want a system that's better.
That's what that face is.
He's also surprised that we don't want war and we want a jobs program.
How about a jobs program?
So here, let's listen.
He's got a little bit more to say.
Frankly, Bernie gets a lot of credit for that.
I don't think he's going to be the next nominee, but he could be.
But I, because I'm very much for somebody who's.
I don't think he's going to be.
He could.
I don't think he's going to be.
Why?
He's the most popular politician and everybody likes his ideas, but I don't think he's going to win.
Why?
Because we're going to screw him over again with the help of the corporate media.
Does Howard Dean's map of the world only involve the United States and then other third world countries and just places we're bombing?
Like, like, is that all it includes?
Because he's just like, I don't know where they got this crazy idea for universal health care.
I guess Bernie introduced it to them.
I don't know how they would have heard of it otherwise.
But I don't think he's going to win.
I don't know.
People will forget.
Here we go.
I think my generation's got to get the hell out of politics, start coaching and start moving up this next generation who are more, I think, fiscally sane.
So here's the new lie.
Howard Dean doesn't think he should get out of politics.
He's in politics.
He's on a show right now trying to direct the party.
Really?
You think that your generation should get out of politics?
So that's another way for him to say, we're not backing Bernie.
And I found another bullshit reason not to back him.
And this bullshit reason is I'm for the youth.
No, the youth are the people who love Bernie Sanders, you fucking corporate liar.
Those are the people who actually love Bernie Sanders, the people 35 and under in your party who make up more than half your party now.
That's who likes him.
So you're going, I want someone younger is a double CK bullshit.
And it's obvious.
And nobody there is going to call him out because they're all tools, right?
They're all Russia propaganda tools.
None of these people are worth anything.
And yeah, they've occasionally write a nice column.
They occasionally say something good.
They're all pushing a Red Scare Russia bullshit.
Every last one of those people.
Jimmy, if there was only a way for Howard Dean to get out of politics, if there's the only way that he could be able to announce right then and there, I'm out of politics.
So he thinks Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer should get out of politics.
Is that what he's saying?
So is that what you mean?
And no one says that.
Willie Guy says it go, you mean Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer should get out?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, not them.
Just Bernie.
Just Bernie.
How about Diane Feinstein?
How about you want to make this an age thing?
Yeah.
She's like, she's 80-something.
Yeah, I think she's 85.
I think it's 85.
I think it might be like 88.
I thought it was 100.
I know that her.
We'll do an over-under.
You know, when she says about Medicare for all, if that means a government takeover of healthcare, I'm not there yet.
She knows that's a lie.
And I know she's around 85 years old because I made the argument that all everyone she's ever, she grew up with had been on Medicare for 20 years.
So that's not who he means.
He doesn't mean her.
He doesn't mean corporate Democrats should get out of politics.
That's not what he means.
He means Bernie.
So this is a bullshit way for Howard Dean and the corporate Democrats to, again, find another way to undercut the progressive movement.
And what, and what do you mean, Jimmy?
He says he likes the progressives.
They're going to take over.
He's going to, well, let's listen.
Either Republicans or Democrats can claim they're fiscally responsible anymore after what the Republicans just did in this tax bill.
And this generation, this young generation is going to pay for that if we don't get the hell out of the way.
So that means no Bernie Sanders, no Joe Biden, for example.
They may well run.
I'm going to be supporting somebody who's younger in the next generation, who I don't know who it is yet, but I was going to say to you anyway.
I'm going to bet they're corporate Democrats.
I'm going to bet whoever that person is, it's going to be a corporate Democrat.
I don't know who it is.
Remember, we heard Keith Oberman say the same crap on The View.
He said, I hope 17 people run.
I hope a bunch of people run.
Why?
How about one really good person?
How about that?
Why do we need 17 people to run?
So that, again, that is that corporate Democrat bullshit talking point that eliminates Bernie Sanders.
And you pretend like you're doing it for a pragmatic reason.
And Howard Dean, fucking top-notch liar, top-notch liar.
You talk about a guy who got his mind right?
That's a guy who got, they put him in the cooler and he got his mind right, boss.
And he's taking cash, man.
The guy's loaded.
He's a doctor.
He knows Medicare for all is the best thing.
He's a liar.
Well, and there is a really pragmatic reason why establishment Democrats would want 17 people to run when 17 people run.
It's really hard for anybody to build a grassroots movement like Bernie Sanders did, but it's really easy for them to throw all their cash at somebody and buy a nomination.
Yes.
Oh, that's right.
Then it favors the money guy.
You got 17 people, and who's got the most money?
He'll probably win.
Exactly.
He or she.
So let's have a little more stupid shit to say.
Here we go.
Mind yet?
It's too early.
I think there's a bunch of people that are terrific, and there's more people that aren't on my list who are terrific.
Chris Murphy from Pennsylvania, I mean, from Connecticut.
Kamala Harris, of course.
Gillibrand.
I mean, there's Eric Garcetti from Los Angeles.
A bit of a long shot, but Trump's broken the rules.
You now mayors may have a shot.
And there's, look, there's tons of other young people.
We were joking before the show, Sam, and I think, or this segment, and I wouldn't be surprised if he saw 17 people.
So that's the new talking point.
They want 17 people to run.
So if we have 17 people, so if 17 people would have ran last time, nobody would have ever heard of Bernie Sanders.
That's the theory.
That's their theory now.
Instead of having four people in the race, we would, and two of those people being completely a snooze, right?
Martin O'Malley, and I can't even think of Jim.
Ah, what was his name?
Anyway, I can't even remember.
That's how forgettable.
And Lawrence Lessig.
Yeah, I'm like picturing the person, but I can't.
I can't remember the exact name.
Right.
So all these people that were charismatically challenged had, and so those are, so it was, well, I guess five now.
Now that I'm remembering.
So if they had 17 people, they would never, you would never hear about Bernie Sanders.
He would be, how would you hear his message?
Well, and that's the second part of that talking point.
They really don't want Bernie Sanders to run.
I mean, Ed Rendell made a similar sentiment recently.
Ed Rendell, he said something about Joe Biden.
He's like, oh, people, because he wants Joe Biden to be the guy.
And he's like, oh, yeah, you know, some people say he's a little too old.
Oh, but I don't think so.
And he, and then he went out of his way to point out that Joe Biden's a little bit younger than Bernie Sanders.
I mean, there's all this kind of subtle ageist nonsense.
And what it comes down to is that they don't actually feel that way.
They just don't want Bernie Sanders in there.
I think what's also interesting is that he didn't include Elizabeth Ward on that list.
No, no, Elizabeth Warden.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, I thought that was kind of striking, being that she is more relevant to national conversations than Kamala Harris.
Much more.
And I'm still kind of confused why I have to keep hearing about Kamala Harris.
Because she's done.
Nothing.
She's not done a goddamn thing.
Kamala Harris hasn't done a goddamn thing.
And she ain't going to do anything.
What is she going to do?
What is she going to do?
She's going to stand up to Wall Street?
She's going to stand up to the military industrial complex?
She had that chance with Steve Mnuchin.
And she didn't.
And she did.
She had her chance.
She ain't doing it.
Jimmy, she's going to do some things and somebody needs to tell her staff.
So here is that.
I'm just letting you know that's what's going on there.
So this is the new corporate talking point.
This is the new corporate Democrat talking point, and they give it to their biggest fucking liar, Howard Dean, to come out and give it to us.
And, you know, Howard Dean gets paid handsomely to mislead you.
And he, so he's, talk about it.
Russia's not an enemy of the state.
Howard Dean is an enemy of the state.
He's your enemy.
He's not an enemy of the state.
He's your enemy.
He's not working for you.
Howard Dean doesn't care about you.
Howard Dean cares about Howard Dean, his paycheck, his corporate donors, and that's it.
That's who Howard Dean cares about.
A physician who's against single payer.
That's all you need to know about Howard Dean.
There's the new talking point.
So I'm just getting everybody a headsy up.
See, that's what's coming.
So CNN decided to address this.
Brian Stelter, whatever his name is, he does a show called Reliable Sources.
And CNN does a show called Reliable Sources.
Awesome, right?
Right?
That's like you decide.
Yeah, yeah.
They've chosen for you.
That's like the NFL doing, you know, anybody, the best of your ability.
Anyway, but so they bring on Carl Bernstein and they bring on, who's, you know, famous guy for doing good work and now, you know, doesn't do such good work anymore.
And then they had bring on David Frum.
You know who David Frum is?
So David Frum invented the term axis of evil.
He was the one who helped us get into Iraq.
He was the one who tried to convince America, not kidding, that George Bush wasn't dumb.
He was actually smarter than everybody.
David Frum was the guy who did that.
David Frum was his speechwriter, George Bush.
David Frum, who probably, I don't know, if there was any fairness in the world, would be in prison, right?
As part of a war criminal organization.
But there isn't any fairness.
Instead, he's rewarded and he's brought back on places like CNN to give us the straight dope about what's really happening in the world today.
And here's what he had to say about CNN continuously and consistently fucking up in one direction.
Like Grant Glenn Greenwald said, they fuck up in the same direction on the Trump Russia story.
Not the other way.
It's just in one direction.
And so here he is to tell you that's okay.
David Frum's going to tell you that's actually not a glitch.
That's a feature.
Ready?
Here we go.
David, what's your advice for journalists in this situation and for readers?
I have more advice for readers.
You asked the question, Brian, why should, given these mistakes, why should people trust the media?
I'm saying the meat mistakes are precisely the reason that people should trust the media.
What?
What?
I'm confused.
I'm sorry, I'm going to play that backwards.
I bet it makes more sense if we play it backwards.
And sleep.
Hypnosis.
Ready?
Ready?
Okay, let's play it again, right?
David, what's your advice for journalists in this situation and for readers?
I have more advice for readers.
You asked the question, Brian, why should, given these mistakes, why should people trust the media?
I'm going to say the meat mistakes are precisely the reason that people should trust the meat.
Astronomers make mistakes all the time.
Astronomers make it.
Because science is a process of discovery of truth.
See, because science is a process of discovery of truth.
And that's why, anyway, that's why they, anyway, here we go.
Astrologers never make mistakes.
At least they never own up to them.
Because what they're offering is a closed system of ideology and propaganda.
C CNN is just like science.
Right?
You know how science works.
You get two anonymous emails from some fucking guys you don't know who they are, and then you write a paper and release it on it.
That's how science works.
This guy is a crazy wheel shopping cart.
All over the aisle, you know.
He's a darting rabbit.
No shit.
Keep your eye on the watch.
We're reliable because we're unreliable.
Repeat after me.
We're zigzagging motherfuckers.
Faced with wrongdoing circled by lies.
The process of piercing the lies to uncover the truth about the wrongdoing is inherently not only difficult, but adversarial because the people who are trying to find the truth are operating against bad faith actors engaged in concealment.
So they get partial pieces of the truth.
In the process, there are going to be overshoots and undershoots.
That Bloomberg Reuters story you mentioned about Deutsche Bank.
Donald Trump has a serious Donald Trump holds most of his debt through Trump-related entities, not personally.
So we don't know exactly what Deutsche Bank was subpoenaed to release, but it is not exactly wrong to say that when you get a Trump-related entity, you're getting something but Trump.
Nonetheless, error of emphasis.
But it's the process of bringing truth to light.
Meanwhile, from the president and his supporters, you hear a system of lies.
So they're not well placed to complain because the mistakes occur in the process of exposing the lies.
That the liars then complain about the mistakes that are saying you're saying that journalists are held to a high standard appropriately, but that the president and his allies.
I'm saying something a little bit different.
Even Brian Steltzer doesn't know what he's talking about because he's not on mushrooms.
Stiltzer's like, oh, excuse me.
What the fuck?
could you go back to telling me how smart George Bush is, please?
This is fucking...
Yes, yes, yes.
Journalism is a process.
The way you discover the truth as a consumer of news is not by reading any one story and thinking, aha, here's the truth.
You have to be engaged in it.
You have to be an actor.
This is a media watchdog show where a guy is letting you know that the media is going to be fucking wrong and it's your fault for believing them.
That's what he's saying.
Did you just read one?
Did you?
Why do you think that happened?
Well, I saw it on CNN.
What are you fucking idiot?
Jesus.
You're supposed to spend all day comparing and contrasting news reports.
And then you're supposed to submit a paper at the end before dinner.
You mean you thought the headline was going to be true?
And there wasn't going to be a disclaimer at the bottom saying none of this shit's proven.
I'm sorry.
Well, you're an asshole.
Sorry, Ron.
It's more than one story, so it's shame on you.
I'd like to be this guy's professor in college.
Hey, David Frum, this paper is all full of errors.
Well, those errors are exactly why you should give me an A. I'm trying to unwrap a lie wrapped in deceit.
This is all because the CERN opened up an antiverse.
And now we're in the negative universe.
We're in the dark upside down.
He's got more stupid shit to say.
The consumer.
Because this is unlike law enforcement, which investigates and produces conclusions at the end.
Journalists show their work as they go.
They approximate the truth.
They reach it.
And in this case, they are reaching it not just because the truth is inherently difficult, but because they are confronting bad faith actors engaged actively in concealment in order to deprive the public of important knowledge of wrongdoing, financial, and national security.
Eva Brian Selzy.
He's out of breath.
I'm fucking trying here, David.
I know we're all supposed to bullshit here, but...
This is called reliable sources.
LAUGHTER That is breathtaking, the amount of bullshit that you are able to sling right now with a straight face.
Mike, hats off to you, Brian.
That's fucking awesome.
All right, so that's that's the that's what instead of just admitting they're wrong and apologizing profusely and saying uh we should stop this shit uh they just bring they bring on this motherfucker to say that stuff and go i guess it's all okay i guess we could keep doing this which they're gonna keep doing this right oh boy it's our first jeff sessions call for 2018 hello the honorable jeff sessions at your service sir my awaiting hand is
