Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hello, who's this?
Jimmy, how you doing?
Herman Kane.
What you wearing?
Herman, how about...
What's your wife wearing?
Hey, that's...
Is your little dog wearing a 2-2?
No.
Brownie is not wearing a tutu, Herman.
And I don't even...
Well, then, fuck you.
What do you want?
This is Herman Kane.
I know.
I know.
What do you want, Herman?
I'm Herman Kane.
I don't even think people remember your sexual scandal.
I honestly don't think people remember that's why you had to drop out.
Well, good.
What do you want to talk about?
I want to talk fiscal policy.
Okay.
As you know, I am in the running to be added to the Federal Reserve Board because of my extensive pizza and financial experience.
Yes.
Yes.
I heard that.
Yes.
My team and I have been workshopping some campaign slogans, and I wanted to run them by you and the people that work on your show.
You know, Herman, I'm not sure you campaigned to be on the Federal Reserve.
That's an appointed position.
It can't hurt.
Campaigning never hurt anybody.
Okay, I guess not.
Do you get caught cheating on your wife?
We have it narrowed down to three.
Now I want your honest feedback.
Don't pull any punches.
If I need to be lashed by the acidic tongue of Jimmy Doar, so be it.
All right, Herman, lay it on me.
Okay.
First possible campaign slogan.
Herman Kane.
I'm fed up.
Well, what do you think?
Not bad.
I'm a little confused.
What are you fed up with exactly?
Everything.
It's a pun.
No, no, no, no.
I get it.
It indicates I will bring a no-nonsense, common sense approach to fiscal policy.
Interest rates get too high, cut them in half.
Interest rates get too low, kick that shit back up again.
I'm fed up.
I'm fed up.
Okay, Herman, I'm not sure altering the prime interest rate based on some kind of performative crabbiness is going to help our country's economy.
Hmm.
Well, we'll table that one.
Option number two, Herman Kane.
Get some money, dummy.
Wait, what?
Get some money, dummy.
No, I heard it.
I just, I don't.
Jimmy, everywhere I go, there are broke-ass bitches.
This is America.
Did you know some people can't afford health care?
They can't afford health insurance.
Well, get some money, dummy.
Herman, it's not really that easy for regular Americans to just get money.
Also, in no way is that the purview of the Federal Reserve Board.
It most certainly is.
Part of my job would be to encourage financial responsibility on the part of our citizens by telling them to get some money, dummies.
It most certainly would not, Herman.
You just don't get it, do you?
I guess not.
Me neither.
Which brings me to...
Herman Kane.
I don't know what to do.
What?
I don't know what to do.
How is that even a slogan?
999.
What?
What?
Sorry, muscle memory.
I don't know what to do.
It acknowledges the fact that I am wholly unqualified for this position and takes ownership of that.
It shows my status as another non-elite in a position of governmental power.
People connect with someone who is in over their heads.
Wow.
Yeah, well.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well.
So is that the one?
I don't know what to do.
You know what, Herman?
Yes, that's the one.
I knew it.
I won you over with my down-home folkiness.
Yeah.
I appreciate your candor, Jimmy Dore.
You be honest with me.
I'll be honest with you.
I'm not sure I want that.
Of course you do.
I'm going to kidnap your dog and put him on a pizza.
Really?
That's how we're going to end this.
I told you, I don't know what to do!
I told you, I don't know what to do!
It's the Jimmy Dore show.
the show for the kind of people that are It's the show that makes Anderson Cooper save.
It's hard to talk when you're keep adding.
And now, here's a guy who sounds a lot like me.
Oh, my God.
It's Jimmy Dore.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Dore show.
Hey, we got live Jimmy Door shows coming.
May 3rd, we're in Burbank, California.
May 12th, we're in Tempe.
May 18th in Austin, Texas.
And June 5th, we're in Hermosa Beach Comedy and Magic Club.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all the tickets for all our live Jimmy Door shows.
Now let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes.
Hey, I don't know if you saw Nancy Pelosi was on 60 Minutes.
Yeah, she was bashing progressives again.
Michael Moore reacted to Nancy Pelosi bashing progressives on 60 Minutes by saying she doesn't see the writing on the wall and that her old tired privileged ways are over.
Wow.
Then Michael Moore fired his staff for talking to a union rep. Here's a couple of quotes of Venera, right?
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens could change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead said that.
And then here's from Nancy Pelosi.
That's like five people.
Did you hear Bernie did a town hall on Fox?
Yeah, and it's ironically, the only people who are regretting Bernie doing a town hall on Fox News are the people who work at Fox News and the people who may as well be working at Fox News.
Hey, I woke up to the news today that the insurance industry stocks tumbled $28 billion because of the Medicare for all movement.
Translation, Cancer is Too Big to Fail.
Hey, did you hear?
Did you hear that Israeli scientist, they just printed the world's first 3D human heart?
Did you hear about this?
The positives is, and it's just like a real heart with real human tissue.
The negatives of the Israelis' first 3D printed human heart is that it's incapable of feeling empathy and forces all other organs out from inside.
Hey, did you hear an Indiana man is suing his parents for $87,000 because they threw out his porn stash?
No.
Remember, you have to keep your porn stash properly insured for times like these.
You know, the slogan, you're in sticky hands with Ball State.
Hey, did you hear Fox News is having Amy Klobuchar on for a town hall?
They're doing it at 2 a.m. to help the people with insomnia.
All right.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
Tucker Carlson defends Julian Assange.
Huh?
Why is he allowed to do that on Fox News?
The answer just may surprise you, or will it?
Plus, Nancy Pelosi mocks Alexandria Casio-Cortez and dismisses progressives on 60 minutes.
And Julian Assange exposes Democrat fascists and warmongers, which is why they want him dead.
Plus, we have phone calls from Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, Bernie Sanders, and Barack Obama.
Plus, a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Dorsey.
That's Bernie Sanders on the phone.
Hello, Bernie.
Are you happy?
Well, about what?
I know you'd ask that.
I'm talking about my taxes.
I released my taxes 10 years of my goddamn taxes.
I think that's great.
I haven't read them yet.
Are there any surprises?
Yeah, yeah.
Here's the surprise that I haven't come over to your place yet to kick your ass up through your brainstems, you human scarecrow.
Why are you being so mean, Bernie?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Would you like to speak to the manager?
Is your avocado toast so far?
Your folded napkins don't look like little birds anymore.
I make my own avocado toast, buddy.
Oh, well, good for you, Richie Rich.
Well, you haven't seen mean yet.
If you think calling out pests is being mean, then you got a rude awakening coming.
I'm like the incredible Hulk, you motherfuckers.
And I'm going to kick ass and not take names.
Because taking names strikes me as authoritarian, quite frankly.
So I won't do that.
But here's something else I won't do.
Continue to take your bullshit on a regular basis.
How's that for Franks and Furters?
I can understand how you might be losing patience with the way the press has covered you over the years, but that's not me.
Are you pests happy yet?
Prove to me you're happy.
Release your past 10 fucking years.
I'm waiting.
TikTok, TikTok.
Are we happy?
You should be happy, though.
You released your 10 years of taxes and they look great.
Where do they look great?
Nobody's covering it except for the part where I made $1 million for my best-selling book, Jesus Christ at the Cracker Jack Box.
Last year I made half a million.
Wow.
I'm rolling at it, folks.
I'm a sellout.
You caught me.
Maybe you chubs deserve Biden.
Read his damn book.
Why don't you?
It smells like Prowl Concentrate.
I understand your anger, Bernie.
Yes, I made a million dollars by writing a best-selling book.
You should try that sometime.
One without pictures, maybe.
Or a button you push where the cow says move.
I gotta go.
I've only made 38 campaign stops this week, and it's still Monday.
Any final thoughts before you go?
Yes, I want it duly noted that I've never used the term asshat.
All right, Bernie Sanders talks about his taxes.
So right, let's get to the story.
So one of the big points of this show, missions of this show, is to inform people of how we got Trump, okay?
So now Nancy Pelosi was completely dismissive of the progressive caucus in the Congress on 60 Minutes.
And I just want to just tell you that that's how we got Donald Trump.
How do we get Donald Trump?
It's because the Democratic Party stopped representing the working class and they got in bed with Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, and big pharma and the help.
They got in bed with the people that own the Republican Party.
So now we have one party.
It's the money party and it's got two right wings.
And that's why we got Donald Trump because people have been hurting.
You know, back in the early 90s, Bill Clinton said he was going to give everybody health care.
He didn't.
It didn't happen.
But we've been knowing this was a problem since 19, then since the 80s in the United States.
And we still don't have Medicare for all.
Here we are 2019.
So like 30 years later, we still don't have it.
And why don't we have it?
Because when we elect people who we think are lefties, when we elect people who say they're going to give us Medicare for all, when they say they're going to end the wars, when they say they're going to break up the banks, when they say they're going to protect Main Street, when they say they're going to bring us a living wage, when they say they're going to regulate Wall Street, this is what we actually get.
This is what we get.
We get another Republican.
My policies are so mainstream that, you know, if I had said the same policies that I have back in the 1980s, I'd be considered a moderate Republican.
I mean, so the people have been screaming for a lefty government since Ronald Reagan, and we haven't gotten one.
We got two Republicans dressed as Democrats.
We got Bill Clinton, who privatized prisons, exploded the prison population, deregulated Wall Street that led to the economic crash.
He passed NAFTA, cut the legs out from underneath the unions.
He gutted welfare.
He did things that Ronald Reagan could only dream about doing because he was a Republican and he gave the corporate Democrats cover.
And then we get eight years of George Bush and people revolt.
We elect a black guy with a Muslim name and he governs like Mitt Romney anyway.
We would have got his health care plan anyway, no matter if we voted for him or Mitt Romney.
And so that's the problem.
So now people like AOC and RoConna and Bernie Sanders realize that there's a crisis.
There's a crisis and that we need an action.
We need a revolution.
And so that's how they campaign and then we vote for them and then they go and they back the problem.
I was saying this at the time.
They're like, well, Jimmy, if we don't have Nancy Pelosi, we'll get an even more speaker even further to the right.
I'm saying don't do it.
You got to extract, remember that?
And people made videos wagging their finger at me because I said you can't do this.
You can't back this as a progressive.
You can't back the problem.
You have to extract something from them.
And the progressives didn't extract anything.
They said they got committee assignments.
So that's what they said.
In return for more power, they're going to get some plum committee assignments.
And you know who decides if those committee bills get voted on?
Nancy Pelosi.
So it doesn't matter.
So here is from Mooping for a People's Party.
Alexandria Casio-Cortez endorses.
So this is what happened.
They wrote this when this happened.
And they say, this is how Democrats have controlled and contained a progressive movement for decades.
The party blocks most progressives with rigged primaries and then forces the few who get elected to capitulate to its corporate agenda.
Endorsing everything that is wrong with the Democratic Party undermines your moral authority and grassroots support, which in turn makes elected progressives more dependent on the party machine.
And Representative Jayapel, this is what she said about Nancy Pelosi when she endorsed her for speaker.
She said, no one can really doubt Pelosi's progressive chops.
She said, no one can really doubt Pelosi's progressive chops.
And I do think for the next two years, as we lead into 2020 and are coming off this big wave, the big blue wave, we need someone who is smart and strategic and has done this.
Nancy Pelosi knows how to lose to Donald Trump.
Nancy Pelosi knows how to get wiped out at every level of government.
That's what Nancy Pelosi knows how to do.
And what do they get for this?
What does Representative Jaya Pell get for this?
What does AOC get for this?
What do they get?
This is what they got.
Here's Nancy Pelosi.
Here's Nancy Pelosi on 60 Minutes yesterday.
You have these wings, AOC, and her group on one side.
That's outside people.
No, it's.
I'm going to play that for you again and I'll play it for you again.
You have these wings, AOC, and her group on one side.
That's outside people.
Get the fuck out of here.
It's like five people.
Progressives, who cares?
We're not stopping.
What?
No, it's like five.
Who cares?
We don't even.
We do exactly what we want.
No Medicare for all, no living wage, no stopping the wars, no regulating the banks, and yes, the TPP.
That's what Nancy Pelosi says.
I get away with that.
This is your leader in 2020.
This is your leader?
Oh, it's the progressive group.
It's more than a program.
I'm a progressive.
Oh.
Aww.
Thank you.
So now when Bernie says he's a progressive and independents hear her say she's a progressive, they're going to go, oh, Bernie's just like Nancy Pelosi.
No, people don't realize Bernie's running against her.
That's what people who aren't in the Democratic Party don't realize.
What did this get them?
So what this does is this props them up.
What this does when they go out and prop up, this props up Nancy Pelosi.
They shouldn't have done this.
And so now Nancy Pelosi uses that oomph that you gave her, all that political juice you gave her by doing this cover with her on Rolling Stone and lending her your progressive credibility.
Now she uses that to squash you.
So you pumped her up and now she uses that pumping up to squash you.
So I was right about this.
And this is what Wali Shaheed said.
He said, that's quite a way to welcome the new generation of mostly progressive women of color entering the Democratic Party who are actively young people, people of color, and working class voters of all backgrounds.
So you want to see, you want to hear how progressive she is?
Here's what Nancy Pelosi has to say about progress.
So again, remember, the reason why we got Donald Trump is because both parties are Republican and people are hurting and they don't offer them anything.
So people got desperate and voted for an orange clown, businessman, billionaire who has no interest in helping them.
But at least he gave them lip service.
The Democrats won't even do that.
Remember Hillary Clinton?
Medicare for all will never come to pass.
You're not getting it.
Vote for me.
Watch her do the same thing.
Are contending with a group in Congress.
Over here on the left flank are these self-described socialists.
On the right, these moderates.
And you yourself said that.
First of all, they're not socialists.
They're self-described democratic socialists.
Do you understand that there's a big difference?
Of course, she doesn't understand it.
That's why she's a reporter for CBS News.
The difference between a socialist and a democratic socialist are huge.
An actual socialist wants the government to control the economy.
A democratic socialist just wants health care and a nice welfare state, a social safety net for people.
That's what a democratic socialist is.
Health care, education, prenatal care.
That's clean water.
This is what a democratic socialist is, as opposed to a socialist who says the central government should plan the economy.
Am I wrong about this?
This is what I said.
Jimmy, really quick question.
Do we have any socialist programs in our country?
Yes, we have lots of them.
Oh, really?
Come on.
Well, Social Security is a socialist program.
Medicare is a socialist program.
By the way, Medicare is the most popular health insurance program in the country.
And it's the socialist one.
So let's listen to what she says again.
Are contending with a group in Congress.
Over here on the left flank are these self-described socialists.
On the right, these moderates.
And you yourself said that you're the only one who can unify everybody.
And the question is, can you, by and large, whatever orientation they came to Congress with, they know that we have to hold the center, that we have to go down the mainstream.
They know that.
What?
First of all, we have to go down the mainstream, which you get to by taking a right-hand turn at Donor's Alley.
Go to Donor's Alley, take a hard right-hand turn, turn to your right, you're going to be in the mainstream.
We have to hold the center.
We have to hold the mainstream.
Nancy Pelosi, by the way, Nancy Pelosi is considered a progressive in the same world where she's able to unite the party, and that world would be in her brain.
So she says we got to go down, we have to hold the center and go down the mainstream.
Come sail down the mainstream where everyone having health care is just a dream.
That's the mainstream.
No wonder billionaires feel at home in the Democratic Party.
Am I right?
You're right.
The only thing Nancy Pelosi can unite are banks.
So she says you got to go down.
You got to hold the center.
So what that's called is that They're status quoies.
They're being reactionaries, and they're saying that a return to the status quo is what we really need.
No, the status quo is what gave us Donald Trump.
And that's what corporatists don't understand.
And that's what people who tell me on Twitter, well, I'll vote for Bernie, but if he doesn't win, then I'm going to vote for whoever the corporatist is who's going to screw us again.
Oh, you mean that thing you've been doing your whole life that got you Donald Trump?
Yeah, I'm going to keep doing that and I'm going to call it adult.
You idiots.
Here is what she's saying is not mainstream.
This is what Nancy Pelosi is saying is not mainstream.
So there you have Medicare for all.
70% of the country on board for Medicare for All.
That is super mainstream.
Nancy Pelosi will lie to you and deny you health care just like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell.
Why?
Because she's corrupt.
Nancy Pelosi is corrupt.
She's corrupt like Donald Trump.
She's corrupt like Mitch McConnell.
She's corrupt like John Boehner and Paul Ryan.
Nancy Pelosi is corrupt and she's the one who's keeping health care from you.
She's the one who's keeping the wars going.
She's the one who didn't prosecute the torturers.
She's the one who's keeping you from a living wage.
She is the one who won't break up the banks.
Nancy Pelosi is your enemy.
She's not your friend.
She's a right winger.
That's going to freak some people out.
Nancy Pelosi is a right winger.
She's not for any of this shit.
That makes her a right winger.
She's cool with Trump's criticism of Ilhan Omar.
She's cool with Trump going into Venezuela.
She's cool with Trump denying us Medicare for all.
Nancy Pelosi is an enemy of yours.
She's only a friend of the donors.
And the progressive caucus, which has 100 members in it, supported Nancy Pelosi.
And she just went, it's like five people.
It's like five people in every fucking voter in the country.
And 70% of the voters, that's like five people, and 70% of the voters.
So when they tell people like Ilhan Omar and AOC and RoConna that they have to compromise, they're not saying they have to compromise with people who represent voters.
They have to compromise with people who represent donors.
That's who they, they don't know, because the people want it.
Where do I go?
Who do I have to negotiate with in America?
What voting block do I have to negotiate with to get 70% of us to that agree already on single payer?
I don't have to negotiate with anybody.
We're all for it.
Oh, I have to negotiate with the owner class, which owns Nancy Pelosi.
So she's just full of shit.
She's a liar and she's corrupt to the core, Nancy Pelosi.
And she's your enemy.
She's the face of evil who's keeping you from health care.
And she's lucky she has a guy like Donald Trump who she can demonize and use as a tool to beat you over the head with.
So you'll keep voting for corrupt pieces of it like her.
So I just want to remind people, oh, while he also posted this, it's a video of CNN just a couple of weeks ago.
They had on the Democrats.
These are real life Democrats and they were interviewing them.
And they were, most of them were supporting at the time some version of a corporate Democrat, but there was only two people in this group that were considered to be themselves big progressive.
They supported AOC or Bernie.
Just two of these people in this group.
And I want to watch you.
I want you to watch.
I want to show you, and I want you to watch their reaction to when she asks these regular Democrats, most of whom aren't progressives, how they react to the mention of AOC.
Here we go.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, your thoughts.
She's badass.
Oh, my God.
Yay!
I love her.
Yes.
Wow.
I mean, amazing.
Again, yes.
I mean, she's asking the right questions.
She, I don't feel like she's playing games.
I'm so excited about her.
She is smart.
She is intelligent.
And I cannot wait to see what else she does.
Well, I know she's got the Democratic Party nervous.
And I mean, in a way, they should be nervous.
Because, you know, she does represent the new guard, the new generation.
I think she really kind of personifies, you know, where we expected things to go.
She is the candidate of the future.
She's got this down the pad.
And she has also nailed it as a woman in a male-dominated field.
This is how we, women in the male-dominated fields, we have to work like this all the time.
She is the candidate of the future.
Get ready for her because she's coming.
Only, only two of those people considered themselves progressives.
The rest of them were mainstream.
And you see how they reacted?
Every one of them was, do you see how that?
Oh my God.
Hello.
That's called, I want to get off my ass and I want to go vote for somebody, which is which is not, that doesn't happen for Joe Biden.
That doesn't happen for Hillary Clinton.
That doesn't happen for Kamala Harris.
That doesn't happen for Corey Booker.
You know what happens for?
People who actually speak about stuff that people want.
And we know we have.
Again, this is what they want.
This is what people want.
This is what people want.
This is what everybody else gets to have in other countries, except the richest country in the world, because we have corrupt pieces of it like Nancy Pelosi as our leaders.
And then other people who consider themselves left wag their finger at you to say you have to support Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi is my enemy, and I'll never support her.
And I'm never going to vote for a Democrat who supports Nancy Pelosi.
It's not going to happen.
Get someone else.
If you need my vote, get someone else.
If you don't, good luck.
You know, Nancy Pelosi has been a leader in politics in the state.
My entire life.
Yeah, in the state of California.
And that almost explains why I don't have better health care in the state of California is because of these elected officials that are supposedly Democrats.
And, you know, I see every so often on the chat for the past three weeks that people are going, stop calling them Democrats.
Stop saying they're neoliberals.
Call them what they are.
I think we do call them what they are.
I think they, yes.
I just want to also show you.
So let's just go down this really quickly.
Let's go down this list of stuff that she is saying is not mainstream.
This is what Nancy Pelosi, they want you to believe.
It's a Medicare for All is only not mainstream in Washington, D.C. and inside cable news green rooms.
That's the only place it's not mainstream.
Because if you go to Americans, Republicans are for Medicare for All, Democrats, and Independents.
70% of Americans are for Medicare for All.
63% are for a $15 minimum wage.
60% of 660% of Americans are for tuition-free college.
81% support a Green New Deal.
59%, almost 6 out of 10 Americans support a 70% top marginal tax rate.
This is mainstream stuff, baby.
This is the majority of American stuff.
And Nancy Pelosi is your enemy just like Trump is your enemy.
Nancy Pelosi is your enemy just like Trump is your enemy.
And if you fucking vote for Nancy Pelosi, you're a chump because she's the one who's keeping you from this stuff.
The Democrats are what's called controlled opposition.
And you see what happened?
You see how they got Nancy Pelosi.
Do you see how they got Representative AOC, Pramila Jayapel?
Everybody supported her.
Nancy Pelosi for speaker.
And then this is, what is the point?
72% of Americans support expanding Social Security.
72% of Americans support expanding Social Security.
So this goes to show you we live in an oligarchy.
Your democracy has already been stolen from you.
This idea that Russia somehow hacked our democracy, our democracy has been hacked by Wall Street, big oil, and big pharma.
That's who hacked our democracy.
Johnson Johnson and Boeing and Goldman Sachs, that's who hacked our democracy.
We don't have a democracy because if we did, we'd have this shit a long time ago.
But we don't have this.
Why?
Because we don't have a democracy and voting doesn't matter right now.
And if you don't think these people are getting ready to cheat you again, you're wrong.
They're already cheating us right now.
I mean Democrats.
I don't mean Republicans.
Republicans don't have super delegates and rig their primaries.
You know who does?
Democrats.
And if you're one of the people who think that Bernie lost fair and square, you're probably super dumb and went to, I don't know, you probably went to an Ivy League school to get your journalism degree.
If you think Bernie lost fair and square and you don't know that he was the victim of the biggest election fraud in the history of our country, if you with a straight face could look into a TV camera and say Bernie lost fair and square like you're a grown-up, I'm guessing you went to Columbia School of Journalism and you probably pushed a conspiracy theory for three fucking years.
So this is what people want.
And this is how you get Trump.
When you deny this to people, that's how you get Trump.
Because if people's lives were going great, they wouldn't have voted for fucking Donald Trump.
And how do I know that?
Because I talk to people in Virginia.
I talk to coal miners.
I talk to got cooks at waffle houses.
That's how I know it.
How do you know it?
You talk to anybody in a TV green room lately who can give you the insight onto voting habits of people who work in coal mines.
So that's what, let's keep going.
62% of Americans want to legalize marijuana.
65% want to reform our incarceration system.
63% want same-sex marriage freedom.
69% said 7 out of 10 want to keep Roe versus Wade.
75% think immigration is good.
75% of Americans think immigration is good.
83% want net neutrality.
61% want to help stop climate change.
77% want campaign finance reform, which is not what is not what the Democrats want.
Oh, we want to get rid of Citizens United.
Almost 6 out of 10 Americans want to break up the big banks.
You know, like that, if that number was like 33%, oh, 33%, you go, wow, that's kind of a fringe idea.
But guess what?
It's the right idea.
So let's push it and we'll change people's minds.
It's already, it's already at 6 out of 10.
And the Democrats, no.
We already have a super majority.
No.
Tax the rich more.
76% are taxed.
64% want a guaranteed jobs program.
76 want taxing the rich.
67 taxing big corporations more.
And almost 9 out of 10 Americans want to use the military only as a last resort.
Nancy Pelosi would say that that's kooky, crazy, lefty, and only five people want that stuff.
And I want to know why the progressive caucus votes for Nancy Pelosi.
I want to know what the fuck is your strategy.
Your strategy is to lose and be marginalized.
That's what that strategy is.
You extracted jack shit out of Nancy Pelosi for your vote.
Nothing.
You know who got stuff out of her?
The conservatives in Congress.
They got a lot out of her.
In fact, the Congress got a little more conservative when Nancy Pelosi became the speaker.
They moved a little bit to the right.
Boo!
Ooh.
Thank you.
And Nancy Pelosi is not a progressive.
That's her trying to poison that word, and she's doing it.
Okay.
Oh, God.
All right.
So again, do you need, I don't, again, I would like to understand.
I would like to know what the progressive strategy is when you vote for Nancy Pelosi and you don't run someone to her left.
You don't run someone to her left.
They didn't run anybody to Nancy's left.
They didn't even threaten to.
And then they come out and say that bullshit.
They say this.
This is really what you say.
No one can really doubt Pelosi's progressive chops.
Why do you got to say shit like that?
You know what undermines you?
You know, you're fucking tying your own noose around your own neck when you do that.
Would you say, and I do think for the next two years as we lead into 2020 and are coming off this big blue wave, we need someone who is smart and strategic and has done this.
That's just what you need, Nancy Pelosi.
So this is what, this is why it's super tough to say I'm going to be a revolutionary and I'm going to run inside a counter-revolutionary party.
I don't doubt Representative J.F. Pell's intentions.
I just doubt the strategy.
I don't doubt her heart.
I don't doubt any of the progressives' hearts.
I doubt their stupid strategy.
That's what I'm talking about.
Extracted jack shit from Nancy Pelosi for your support for her speaker, and now she's sticking it right in you.
Okay.
Somebody from our chat mentioned, and it went by really quickly, and I'm sorry I didn't catch your name, but they said, do you remember when Bernie said Pelosi's doing a great job in 2018?
I don't remember that.
No, I don't remember.
But I don't even want to look it up.
But if I did, I probably blocked it out.
Hey, I get that people are flawed.
I get that.
I get that Bernie's not perfect.
And I get all this.
I get people.
People are people and people have flaws.
But we're in a crisis.
We're in crisis mode.
The planet's in a crisis.
The country's in a crisis.
Students are in a crisis.
Old people are in crisis.
Workers, we got tent cities.
Veterans are in crisis.
It's time to do some shit.
It's time to do something and shake it up.
Quit voting for this goddamn Democratic Party already.
Put the fear again.
Does Nancy Pelosi look like she's afraid of you?
Does she look like she's afraid of Donald Trump being president again?
Because she is not.
Nancy Pelosi loves having Donald Trump as president.
She would much rather have Donald Trump as president than Bernie Sanders or Tulsi Gabbard.
That's for goddamn sure.
Every Democrat just about would rather have Donald Trump as president.
Chuck Schumer certainly would.
The leadership of the Democrats, Dennis Stenny Hoyer, all of them, they would all rather have Donald Trump as president.
And if you don't think that, you're a chump.
That sounds like Mitt Romney's calling on the phone.
Hello, Mitt Romney.
Oh, hi, Jimmy.
Say, I really love starting out the Sabbath, reading the Kotzengamer kids with a big old bowl of cornflakes.
How about you?
I usually wake up at noon and down a six-pack of blast.
Well, I highly recommend my strict regimen.
The Kotzenyammers really give me a hearty chuckle.
And as you well know, the cornflakes really help tone down my out-of-control boners.
You're what?
I'll tell you what, fella.
You people have gone way over the top this time, yo.
Stop with the new, the Green New Deal And Medicare for all bullshit.
Junior Senator Romney, why?
You rascals usually don't merit my incredibly precious advice.
But here it is anyway.
You're just playing into Donald Trump's hands with these things.
Nobody cares about saving the planet.
So why should they give a bucket of warm cooties about giving people proper health care?
That's really dummy McSupidface.
Why don't you like about the Great New Deal, Mitt?
It's ill-conceived.
Which means...
You believe in the rapture?
All rich people believe in the rapture, Jimmy.
It appeals to the animalistic instincts of the 47% to depressed resignation and self-humiliation.
Why give the masses hope for a better life when they'll only expect good things from it?
Instead, feed them some crackpot story about how they're all going to sit at the side of Jesus and his prize hamster collection.
But what about the planet Colab?
Co-op is only for the very special and deserving among us.
And you ain't going to get there, my friend.
Colob is for closers.
Is Colob officially a planet or a star?
Yes.
So you think that saving the planet is an ill-conceived idea.
And here's another ill-conceived idea.
Medicare for all.
Our president is right.
Medicare for all would be dangerously beneficial to those who need it most.
It's a non-starter.
But I thought you were supposed to be the Maverick who was supposed to replace John McCain.
Oh, I am, Jimmy.
I am very Maverick-esque.
For example, USA Today said, I didn't understand Trump's attacks on John McCain.
And Political said, I dinged Herman Cain the other day.
I don't understand, and I dinged.
I'm a non-understanding dinghy.
You're against appointing Herman Cain to the Reserve Board?
Yes, Jimmy.
I'm in direct disagreement with President Trump on appointing Herman Cain to a seat on the Federal Reserve.
There, I said it.
Ding, ding, ding.
Well, it's nice to know that some Republicans care about merit and a person's qualifications.
Because he's colored.
I'm sorry.
What did you say about qualifications?
Nothing.
Oh, sure, my mind's open to new things.
Maybe in a few generations.
But America's not ready for that yet.
And by America, I mean some musty crud hole deep within my diseased brain.
It's all about color and social status to you, isn't it, Mitt?
Of course not.
I just don't think black people or anyone who can't afford a car elevator should be allowed to hold any political office.
Well, that's going to exclude a lot of Americans.
I'm sorry, Jimmy.
No, good.
I left out all the insufferable scumbags who don't keep a stable of presage horses.
Fuck those clowns.
Get some self-respect, why don't you?
So there you have it.
I'm a Maverick who doesn't understand, and I ding people.
And your waxy face, John McCain's ghost.
Get some money, dummy.
The Jimmy Dore show is brought to you by collusion.
The fragrance, so irresistible, you'll scheme with anyone to get a whiff of it.
Collusion.
Uncloak your dagger, open up your back channel, and start your own secret investigation with collusion.
Watch your special counsel go from grasping for straws to grasping for you with the new scent that will drive left-wingers to distraction.
Remember, it takes two to collude.
So tonight, make something out of nothing and let that special someone finally get to the bottom of you with collusion.
Why rig your own election when you can have a hand from someone else?
It feels so much better.
So go ahead, collude.
It's not a crime.
And buy emoluments.
Line your pockets with cool and refreshing emoluments.
When you have an unquenchable thirst for foreign gifts and tributes, influence your taste buds with emoluments.
Now back to the Jimmy Dore Show.
Already in progress.
���� So we all know what's happening with Julian Assange, and it is remarkable to watch politicians like Tulsi Gabbard have to go on news shows and school journalists about journalism.
It's not remarkable anymore, actually, because we all know that, you know, the last couple of years, if not, has revealed that journalism is in sad shape in America, that they're not really journalists, as Chomsky has said all along, that they're just there to repeat forward the ideas of the elite and the ruling class.
That's who they represent.
That's why they're there.
And if they didn't think the way they think, they wouldn't be there.
If they thought like me, they wouldn't have a job.
If they thought like Ed Schultz, they get fired.
If they thought like Phil Donney, Jesse Ventura or Ashley Bennett they get fired.
That's what happens.
Okay, so all those people who have those jobs there are people who wittingly or unwittingly tow the company line and never say anything to upset them.
All right?
The donor class.
You know what I mean?
So they and it is amazing to watch them get this Julian Assange thing wrong.
It's just amazing.
It is amazing.
So here's Glenn.
He says, when you see professional media figures decrying Julian Assange is not a journalist or decreeing Julian Assange is not a journalist, compare how much corruption and criminality by the world's most powerful factions that they've exposed in their work to how much Assange has exposed.
That contrast will tell you all you need to know.
Yeah, so look at the pieces of it who are saying Julian Assange isn't a journalist.
Contrast their work at exposing the powerful with Julian Assange's work exposing the powerful.
Compare and contrast.
Here's one more tweet from him.
He says, also, the question, is X a journalist as though it's a credentialed license status like being a doctor or a lawyer is deceitful.
You don't need to get a credential to be a journalist.
We're all journalists.
We all get the protection of the First Amendment.
You know how you're a journalist?
You call yourself a journalist.
You know how I became a comedian?
I called myself a comedian.
I got on stage and I made people laugh.
That was it.
I didn't have to go to a certification.
I'd have to go to a college.
I didn't get a degree.
The same thing with journalism.
There are people who go to school for journalism.
Those people are known as jumps.
And usually shitty journalists.
You know, I can't tell you how many horrible journalists come out of the Columbia School of Journalism.
I mean, rock bottom, horrible conspiracy theorists, no standards or practices, fucking horrible journalists come right out of the Columbia School of Journalism.
You know that.
And then they all go to work over at Mother Jones and MSNBC.
So also, the question is, acts a journalist as though it's a credentialed license status like being a doctor or a lawyer is deceitful.
The First Amendment press freedom protects an activity, an activity available to Everyone.
So it doesn't just protect a certain class of people doing something.
It protects anyone doing something.
And what is that something?
Journalism.
And what is journalism?
Journalism is looking down the street and reporting back to people what you saw.
That's what journalism is.
That's all it takes.
They can't even do that.
You see how they lie about Syria and they lie about Venezuela and they lie about Ilhan Omar ubiquitously.
So the First Amendment press freedom protects an activity available to everyone, not just a designated priesthood called journalists.
That's very important to remember.
And so I showed you why, I showed you yesterday.
Let me find it.
Nira Tandon.
Well, I showed you.
So here's what.
So now people like Neera Tandon hate Julian Assange.
Why?
Because Julian Assange revealed that the Clinton campaign was cheating and that they're all big cheaters.
And they revealed a lot more.
Here's something that they revealed about Nira Tandon specifically.
And who is Nira Tandon?
She was a Hillary Clinton campaign advisor.
She runs the Center for American Progress, which was started by John Podesta, correct?
Or he was, he was also a chair at one time, Hillary Clinton's former campaign manager.
And now she's the head of the Center for American Progress, which is a misnomer because they're not for progress.
It's the Center for American Corporatism.
They should be called CAC, Center for American Corporatism.
And so if you look, Nera Tandon hates Julian Assange.
There are many cultists on this site.
This is her tweet about Julian Assange being arrested.
But the Assange cultists are the worst.
I thought it was this Bernie Sanders cultist, but it turns out it's the Sans cultists.
They are the worst.
Assange was the agent of a proto-fascist state, Russia, to undermine democracy.
That's not true.
That's made up.
She's lying.
That's not true.
Even James Comey said that WikiLeaks got those emails from an intermediary.
So that's not true.
Was the agent of a proto-fascist state, Russia, to undermine democracy?
No, what undermined democracy was the Hillary Clinton campaign completely rigging the 2016 primary.
That was what undermined democracy.
So now we have Donald Trump because people like you, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Hillary Clinton, and Donner Brazil are freaking cheating liars.
That's why that's why we have Trump.
Not because of some proto-fascist state, because of you.
We just know about it.
You know what WikiLeaks did?
They went around spreading the truth about you.
And so here's one of the things that they, this is an email from Neritandon.
This is about Libya.
And there, you know, that was Hillary Clinton's big doing.
She went into Libya.
She was the big push.
She was the head of State Department, a Secretary of State, and she pushed Barack Obama.
She was to do that.
They did that.
They turned Libya into a failed state right after she did Iraq.
Remember, we didn't vote for her in 2008 because of Iraq.
Well, she became Secretary of State and she did Libya.
Turned it into a failed state, again, under a pack of lies that we're trying to help people.
This is Friday, October 21st, from 2011.
This is from Nira Tandon to someone named Faye Shakir.
She says, and the subject is, should Libya pay us back?
That's what it says.
Should Libya pay us back?
So I'll read it to you because I know it's small.
It's hard to see.
I'll read it to you what it says.
She says, we have a giant deficit, meaning a budget deficit in the United States domestically.
We have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil, meaning Libya.
This is Nira Tandon talking.
We have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil.
She sounds like Trump.
Hey, let's steal their, if we're going to go overthrow their country and turn it into a failed state with open slave trading and a haven to terrorists.
Let's at least steal their oil.
She sounds like Trump because they are the same.
Neeratandon, they are the same.
Why do you think Hillary Clinton went to their weddings?
And their daughters are best friends.
They're the same.
We have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil.
Most Americans would choose not to engage in the world because of that deficit.
So she's saying that Americans don't want to do foreign adventurous wars anymore because it costs us so much.
But if we could just find a way to pay for them, we could start killing motherfuckers all around the world and everyone would cheer us on.
People are only upset about Iraq and Libya because we didn't steal their oil and pay for it.
She sounds just like Ted Cruz and Trump, right?
That's near a tendon.
And this is known.
This is known.
So if you get a chance to interview Nira, she'll bring this up.
We have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil.
Most Americans would choose not to engage in the world because of that deficit.
No, most Americans don't want to do regime change war because we're not bloodthirsty fucking maniacs who think dead bodies equal profits.
That's why.
That's why Americans don't want to do what you ought to touch 1% maniac, bloodthirsty maniac.
Niratandon.
If we want to continue to engage in the world, this is what WikiLeaks revealed of Niratandon.
If we want to continue to engage in the world, meaning if we want to continue to bomb the fuck out of people, kill them, we better start stealing their natural resources when we do it in a more blatant way.
Because right now we're just making the weapons manufacturers happy and rich, and we should actually steal their natural resources in a more blatant way.
So American people will be for it.
This is what she's saying.
She says, if we want to continue to bomb the shit out of the world, gestures like having oil-rich countries partially pay us back doesn't seem crazy to me.
That's Naritandon.
That's Narutandin.
That's a psychopath.
That's us after Libya.
She's saying this.
That's a psychopath.
That's a bloodthirsty psychopath who thinks dead bodies equal money and that's all they care about.
Hillary Clinton said Iraq's a great business opportunity.
That's who these people are.
They're lying, cheating psychopaths.
And now she's the enemy of journalism, too.
She's just like Trump.
She's in bed with Trump wanting to imprison journalists for journalism.
That's who these people are.
Fascist megalomaniacs.
Let's see how she ends the email.
Do we prefer cuts to Head Start or the WIC program or Medicaid?
Because we live in deficit politics and that's what is happening and will be happening even more.
So she's like, hey, they're going to cut domestic programs because we have to keep doing these Wars.
And shouldn't we just steal their oil and stuff so we don't have to cut programs at home?
Let's go kill other people, pillage their country, steal their natural resources, leave them in a failed state so we don't have to cut programs back at home.
Do you see how crazy, like that's again, that's not over-the-top hyperbole.
That's what this is.
Megalomaniac, crazy people, bloodthirsty, neoliberal corporatists who think dead bodies of the Middle East equal profits.
And now you know why Nira Tandon hates WikiLeaks.
Now you know why Nira Tandon hates WikiLeaks and calls people who defend journalism cultists and the worst cultists.
That's what Nira Tandon is saying about people who stand up for journalism.
She's in bed with Trump imprisoning journalists.
That's what she's doing.
These people are fascist maniacs.
And this is your Democratic leadership.
This is the Center for American Progress.
If there was any decency in politics in America, she would be cast out of polite society for this.
But they're all in bed with Trump.
They'd rather have Trump president than Bernie Sanders, which is why we have fucking Trump president.
It's not because of me or Susan Sarandon or Jill Stein or somebody else with no money and no power.
It's because of Nira Tandon and Bill and Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who failed this country on purpose, who was a gangster from Wall Street and he kicked Americans out of their houses and gave those houses to the fucking criminals on Wall Street.
And then he goes to Italy and wags his finger at Americans.
Why don't they vote?
And then he comes back and he tells progressives, stop being purists.
So that's who these people are.
You want to know, and she calls the Associated Press tweets out.
The latest Russian president Vladimir Putin spokesman says Russia wants Julian Assange's rights to be observed following that.
Isn't that weird?
Somebody who's supposed to be a big thug is actually demanding rights for a journalist?
And guess who isn't?
Nira Tandon.
Guess who, guess who is a fascist?
Naratandin.
Guess who's in bed with the dregs of society, Trump, Naratandin, doing what?
She wants to shit on you if you call for the rights for a journalist.
Do you see who these people are?
Do you see why you can't vote for Hillary Clinton?
Do you see why you can't do that anymore?
You see that we can't tell these people that you have my vote no matter what?
That's why you can't do that anymore.
It's time for a real fucking revolution, not incrementalism.
And shame on you.
Fucking shame on you for shaming anybody who stood up to this fucking stupid duopoly that tricks you every four fucking years to vote against your own goddamn interests.
You want to know why Nancy Pelosi, who the fucking every progressive just voted for as speaker, you know why she didn't fucking indict war criminals who are now running our foreign policy again?
You know why she didn't?
Because she would be indicted.
Because WikiLeaks revealed that too.
Why is she for imprisoning Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning?
Because she's for it too.
Because she was in it.
Guess what this is?
This is from WikiLeaks revealed this.
This is the member briefings on enhanced interrogation techniques.
So what they had to do, the intelligence community, the torturers, the criminals, what they had to do was they have oversight in the Congress because they work for us.
They're supposed to, but they don't.
So they have to brief members of Congress.
And this was revealed by WikiLeaks.
It says, this is from September 4th, 2002.
Type briefing, subject briefing on EITs, which is enhanced interrogation techniques, enhanced interrogation techniques.
That's what we call it because we're Christians.
If we're Muslims, we call it torture.
But we're Christians, so it's enhanced interrogation techniques.
Muslims do torture.
We do this other thing because we're fucking maniacs.
And we lie about it to ourselves.
Briefings on torture, including the use of torture on Abu Zubaida, background on authorities and a description of the particular torture that had been employed.
And who did they tell?
Who was this?
And in September of 2002, who did they brief?
Porter Goss and Nancy motherfucking Pelosi.
That is her middle name.
So Nancy Pelosi knew about torture in 2002, which is why she said when she got control of the house in 2006, torture, that impeachment's off the table, because she didn't want to have to answer for this.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
You're a chump if you think Hillary Clinton was your fucking savior.
And you're getting ready to do it again.
They're going to cheat Bernie again, and then he's going to tell you to vote for fucking Joe Biden.
And meanwhile, the planet's going to melt.
And we're going to have 10 more wars.
And they're going to start imprisoning even more journalists.
So that's why that's Nancy Pelosi's name.
So do you see, do you see right there?
It says a director.
So there's another briefing.
This was on September 6th, 2006.
It says the director named all 13 tortures at this briefing and verbally described most.
Specific mention of waterboarding, water dousing, stomach slap, wailing or walling, and the methods used to carry out these techniques.
And who did they tell?
They told, if you look over to, it says the full committee.
Now you know why.
She calls people who stand up for journalism fascists.
Do you see how we're living in 1984?
This is Hillary Clinton's campaign.
This is Hillary Clinton's friend.
This is the head of center.
She's welcome on liberal talk shows all the time.
She's calling someone standing up for journalism a fascist.
She's calling someone standing up for human rights a fascist.
Do you see how fucking maniacal these people are?
The mendicity.
That's who these people are.
And here's Nancy Pelosi's name.
There it is.
September 4th, 2002.
She was briefed on torture and all the torture America was doing in our name, and she didn't say a goddamn thing.
So Nancy Pelosi is complicit in war crimes, which is why she said impeachments off the table.
Here's some more.
There's a briefing from November 1st, 2005.
It said in interrogation techniques briefed, briefed on interrogation techniques, including waterboard, facial slap, abdominal slap, Sleep deprivation and walling.
And who did they tell?
They told in Senate leadership.
They knew about it.
Isn't this awesome?
Here's a briefing from September 6, 2006.
The director provided significant details naming all the tortures and providing a verbal description of most of the tortures.
There was also a specific discussion of waterboarding.
And who did they tell?
They told Harry Reid this.
And Bill Frist, the Senate leadership.
That's who they told.
And what did Harry Reid do about it?
Not a goddamn thing.
They're complicit, which is why George Bush was never investigated.
They never had a fucking hearing about this because they're all in on it.
There's another, same thing.
Who'd they brief on this time, the whole committee?
So your government's also, you can come to me now.
So your government's already been stolen from you a long time ago.
And Wikileaks reveals that.
And there's a lot of asswipes running around thinking Trump stole their government.
Your government was taken from you a long fucking time ago.
And the Republicans agree with Trump.
He's not a special kind of Republican.
They did the Southern strategy since freaking Nixon.
He just says it out loud.
Jeb Bush just was interviewed on CNN, and Kyle Kalinske reported it out that Jeb Bush agrees with all Donald Trump's policies.
They just don't like that he tweets nasty stuff.
So the idea that Trump was a special kind of crazy that we had to get rid of, Jeb Bush just said you were wrong about that because he agrees with them.
Jeb Bush.
So this is what's going on.
Can I just highlight for you, Jimmy?
Somebody was talking in the chat.
They wanted to know what was walling, and it's a method of torture used by CIA in which a person's neck is encircled by a collar and is then used to slam the person against a wall.
According to the information gathered by the International Committee of Red Cross from six detainees, walling meant beating by use of collar.
Appeachment's off the table.
Why?
Because you're complicit.
Because you're all goddamn war criminals.
And that's why Julian Assange is in prison.
And I'm glad that the people on the left are waking up to that.
Maybe.
YouTube has been silent on Julian Assange the last three.
Not this show.
Not us at aggressive progressives.
We've been screaming about this loud and clear.
We've had clarity, moral clarity on this.
No trouble.
Again, this is something that even a guy like Tucker Carlson can get right.
So this isn't a hard thing to get.
So all the people have been silent for the last three years.
Thanks for waking up.
I'm glad you got your head out of your ass.
So that's the world we're living in right now.
And when people do good work, do good journalism, they're jailed.
When people tell the truth about Russia Gate, they're smeared, slandered, and never apologized to.
In fact, they keep doing it.
Look how people are still going at Glenn Greenwald, Aaron Matei, and Michael Tracy.
Look what they do to those.
Look what they're doing.
It's disgusting.
It is disgusting.
They're in bed with people like Max Boot, David Frum.
So this is the world we're living in right now.
And Bernie is equivocating.
I haven't heard.
Can you go to Jared?
Jared, go to Bernie's Twitter feed and see if he said anything about this yet.
This is a time for real leadership.
So everybody was pretend screaming about journalism when Trump was being an asshole to Jim Acosta.
And everyone was, so they were all, that's called virtue signaling, right?
Isn't that what that is?
They signaled their virtue that they care about journalism.
But now here it is you really care about journalism.
And this is why journalism is failing.
And this is why anybody who wants to be in this club needs to get their goddamn head examined.
Anybody go to that goddamn correspondence dinner, and if you go there for any other reason but to expose them as frauds, you're part of the fucking problem.
Randy Credico, a fucking Jagoff nightclub comedian, had more courage than all those people at the correspondence dinner last year.
He stood up for Julian Assange.
And you know what they did?
They tackled him, cuffed him, and threw him out of there.
And not one fucking reporter reported it.
You know why?
Because they'd have to say we're pieces of shit.
And Julian Assange is right.
And so is Randy Credico.
Room full of assholes.
I've been in a room full of assholes like that when I was at the Oslo Freedom Forum.
Oh, my God.
Fucking room full of journalists who are mouthpieces for the military industrial complex.
And I stood up then?
And I'll stand up now?
I'll stand up now?
Bernie has said nothing about this.
There's your moral leader.
And when they cheat him again, he's going to tell you to vote for fucking Joe Biden.
So it would be nice if someone who has Bernie's ear could tell him to get his head out of his ass and start saying something about fucking journalism instead of saying something about Jim Acosta, which is pretend.
There's a real crisis happening.
When you're done, when you're done spitting out the CIA talking points for their pretext invasion in Venezuela, maybe Bernie, you could fucking start talking about Julian Assange in a constructive way.
uh, Because this is the world we're living in.
Torturers.
The guy exposes torturers.
You know, we're living in a world where people who expose crimes are considered criminals.
What's that saying?
When exposing crimes is treated as a crime, you're being governed by criminals.
I'm sure I'm butchering that, but that's what we get.
Of course.
Barack Obama tortured Chelsea Manning.
Why did Barack Obama torture Chelsea Manning?
Why did Barack Obama torture Chelsea Manning?
Because Barack Obama wanted Chelsea Manning to say that Julian Assange assisted her in getting those documents.
So then they can go after Julian Assange.
But she wouldn't.
Chelsea Manning wouldn't lie to get herself out of being tortured.
Naked, 24-hour surveillance in a cage, not allowed to sleep.
