Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hi, this is Jimmy.
Who is this?
Um, yes.
Hello, this is Hillary Supporter.
Hi, Hillary Supporter.
How are you?
I am.
I am devastated right now.
I'm sorry to hear that, but why, Hillary supporter?
What's wrong?
Excuse me.
What?
I'm sorry, but you are not entitled to demand for me the emotional labor of explaining what is wrong.
Oh, I'm sorry.
It's toxic.
Stop.
Do better.
I'm just trying to have a friendly conversation, Hillary supporter.
Okay.
Well, I don't even have the wherewithal anymore to celebrate the political downfall of the loathsome woman-hating misogynist Bernie Sanders because I just watched the four-part Hillary documentary on Hulu and I am wrecked.
Absolutely devastated.
Oh, I haven't seen that.
Well, you should.
Every American should, because it just lays out there in stark relief how Hillary was absolutely robbed in 2016 by American misogyny, and it shows the full scale of the injustice done to her by forces of hatred and how she was basically literally murdered.
And it's a well-done, factual, unbiased documentary for once because it was made by Hillary herself.
Like Hillary says, if you want something done right, you got to do it yourself.
Are there any moments in the dock where Hillary reflects on mistakes she may have made?
No, absolutely not.
That's why I loved it.
There's not one second of horseshit like that.
Just four hour-long episodes of an absolute queen basically just saying me into the camera.
It was glorious.
Are you sure Hillary made it?
It says here the director was someone named Nanette Burstein.
Oh, I love Nanette.
You could tell Hillary was running the show because of how it put forward in such an unbiased, capable way what a giant victim she is.
She was pulling the strings on this thing because she's smart.
Really?
How was Hillary Clinton the victim?
Okay.
There were several instances shown in this documentary of people, just people, just regular nobodies saying rude things to Hillary on the campaign trail.
It's astonishing.
No other candidate has to deal with those sorts of incidents.
Political candidates have to deal with hecklers all the time.
Male candidates, though?
Someone just unfurled a Nazi flag at Bernie Sanders rally the other day.
Are you kidding me?
Oh, a crimier ever.
At least it wasn't some sexist pot shot about his appearance.
I'm sure Hillary would have preferred dozens of Nazi flags flying at her rallies over these just random losers telling her what color pantsuit to wear.
Go to hell.
Was Hillary Clinton's family murdered in the Holocaust?
Well, if by her family, you mean the worldwide community women.
And by Holocaust, you mean the Holocaust of women that the patriarchy has been doing for millennia?
Yes.
Yes, she is a survivor.
And Bernie is not technically himself a survivor.
So once again, she's beaten Bernie at his own game.
Wow.
So if Hillary were president now, what do you think she would be doing about the coronavirus pandemic?
She would have stopped it.
God, come on.
Come again.
It would be cured right now.
She's that good and capable.
How?
Never mind.
Look, how are you dealing with the coronavirus, Hillary supporter?
Well, actually, this works out fine for me because I have always self-quarantined.
As I have made clear to your listeners before, I rarely, if ever, leave my apartment due to a combination of anxiety and depression.
Have you ever been diagnosed with these conditions by a mental health professional?
Well, no, but what else could it be?
So you work from home?
No, I do not work.
I have a rolling array of GoFundMes that allow me to pay rent and purchase things I need for myself because of anxiety and depression.
Will you donate today?
No.
Will your listeners donate?
I doubt it.
Can I have a portion of your Patreon?
Like a fixed amount every month?
Because I'm basically the backbone of your shitty show.
Absolutely not, Hillary supporter.
Fine, asshole.
Fuck you.
I don't need your money.
Sorry about your revolution failing.
Bye, Bernie.
Sorry, all the millennials won't get a bunch of free stuff they didn't earn.
Sorry, the adults in the room are saving the Democratic Party.
All these Bernie babies are going to have to earn their health care like everybody else.
So why don't you go get a job at Favor or Uber Eats and deliver food to my apartment so I don't have to leave, you lazy bums.
And if you're good little millennials, maybe I'll tip you.
Goodbye.
Hillary supporter.
Establishment media sets on its fighting.
So good luck the bullshit we can't afford.
Watch and see as a jackal comedian who speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head-on.
It's the Jimmy Door show.
Let's do it, buddy.
Everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
We're going to see you May 1st in Minneapolis, August 9th in Chicago.
Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all the tickets for all our live shows.
Now let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
You know, I'm starting to understand now.
Corn pop was really a bad dude.
I was going to vote for Medicare for All.
I was going to vote for Medicare for All.
But then James Carville put on a baseball hat and sneered at me.
Right now, the Democratic Party is asking us to choose between a president who doesn't care about the coronavirus and a candidate who can't remember what it is.
What were you doing on International Women's Day, Graham?
You know what I was doing?
What were you doing?
I'll tell you what I was doing.
I was shouting at Steph to get me a beer while reading about the one million female voters in California who still haven't had their votes counted yet.
Democrats rule, am I right?
True story.
You know, we could have a uniform state-by-state election process where results are safely and accurately counted and processed quickly, but how are you going to pay for it?
If you have elections where Americans wait seven hours to cast their votes in understaffed polling stations and it takes over a month to get them counted, you might be a victim of red baiters who'd rather invest in Russian conspiracies instead of helping people.
That is a variation on the Jeff Foxworthy's you might be a redneck.
Hey, so what's coming up on today's show?
The left finally realizes they have to stop voting for the Democratic Party if change will ever be possible.
We take a look at videos from Lawrence O'Donnell and Glenn Greenwald from over 10 years ago saying the same thing.
Plus, Joe Biden snaps on a union worker and says he's full of S-H-I-T.
Can I say, can you spell a swear word on the radio?
And how does CNBC handle the coronavirus?
Well, this is your brain on capitalism.
And the answer just may surprise you.
Or will it?
Plus, we have phone calls today from Hillary supporter Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door show.
Last night on Fox.
Here's Bernie Sanders last night on Fox.
Ironically, or I would say almost unironically, no, he gets a much fairer herring on Fox News than he does on MSNBC.
So here he is.
He's being asked about, he's being asked about what's going to happen with Joe Biden and his dementia.
And here's what he says.
Hi, Senator Sanders.
Some of Joe Biden's answers don't make sense.
Do you think it's acceptable for a presidential candidate to respond to questions like Joe Biden does?
Oh.
Now, what would happen if Bernie said, I think it's a, I think it's a shame what's happening.
Joe Biden is obviously diminished.
And I think it's elder abuse what they're doing to him because I'm even older than him.
And I would hate if I was like that for people to be parading me around.
I don't know.
Say something.
Take a lead.
Again, you're losing.
I don't know if you know this.
Who has more delegates to write?
How many more delegates?
Oh, well, let me look right now.
He's at 766.
Biden has 766 to Bernie Sanders, 618.
Well, let me just say this.
You know, Joe Biden is a friend of mine.
I've known him for a.
Stop it.
Stop it.
He's not your friend.
Stop it.
Many, many years.
When we do our events and our rallies, we try to give, we respect people in a sense, and we give really substantive.
These guys will think maybe too long-winded answers, but we take people.
There are real crises facing this country.
When I give a speech, often it's 45 minutes or an hour, okay?
Because there are a lot of challenges that the country faces, and I got to talk about them.
You know, I think Joe was somewhere in, where was he?
I don't know, Michigan or someplace else the other day, and he spoke for seven minutes.
I don't know how you say anything other than, you know, minimal discussion in seven minutes.
So all that I have always believed is that if we believe in democracy, a candidate has got to be honest with the people about what he or she believes, given the many, many challenges facing our country.
And when you do that, when you're honest and you look at the hard issues, so you're going to take on the fossil fuel industry or Wall Street or the drug companies, it brings forth opposition.
I know that I get beaten up every day.
That's fine.
That's what I do.
But all I would say is not going to criticize Joe, but to say that I think.
Why?
Why aren't you there to criticize Joe?
You know, that's what you do in a campaign, right?
And in this instance, if he doesn't want to criticize Joe, it's like you said, though, he could do this very heartfelt compassion.
Yeah, like I feel for him.
I feel for him.
And if I someone should tell him no.
Like someone should tell him they said this isn't right.
They're not letting.
And it would be this compassionate, hey, Joe, you got to step down.
It's time.
Yeah, you should say he gave a speech the other day for seven minutes.
All you could do is say hi and bye.
And that's not right.
And I would say that.
And anybody can see this.
I'm not pointing this out.
The people are pointing it out.
Everybody knows this.
How does it hurt you to say that?
And I also would lead with, and that's why we need elder care.
That's why we, yeah, another reason why.
Here we go.
Here's so then Fox News.
The American people in this incredibly complicated and difficult moment in our history are entitled to thoughtful answers to the crises we face.
Senator, this isn't a personal attack, but it gets to Nina's question.
And the question of Joe Biden's mental acuity is not something that just comes up anywhere.
Democrats have brought this up, including Senator Corey Booker, who endorsed Joe Biden today.
Tickless.
You just said that two minutes ago.
Are you forgetting what you said in Maddox?
Are you forgetting already what you said just two minutes ago?
I think Castro has some really legitimate concerns about can he be someone in a long, grueling campaign that can get the ball over the line.
And he has every right to call that out.
There are definitely moments where you listen to Joe Biden and you just wonder, are we afraid to say that a lot of his sentences don't make sense and he's having trouble completing thoughts?
Senator, your thoughts.
I'm not going to go.
Why not say, well, obviously, it's not, everyone has concerns.
It's not me.
It's not Corey Booker.
It's Julian Castro.
It's the people on news panels.
It's people in the audience.
You know, you want me to say something like that?
But it's not right what's happening with Joe.
And that's what that's, it's not right.
I mean, that's the softest way you could say it.
I don't know why you need to say it soft.
You say, we can't afford to do this.
You see what they're doing?
They're running a guy who everyone knows is suffering and cannot fulfill the mission of beating Trump.
Everyone knows this.
And he doesn't say it.
Here's what he does say.
Level and attacking.
Joe and I have, you know, that's for people to decide.
All I can say is Joe and I have very significant political differences.
And I'm not going to be making personal attacks on Joe.
That's not what I do.
It's not a personal attack.
You're trying to defend this country.
If you really think Donald Trump is the most corrupt president in the world and an existential trial, wouldn't you do everything to make sure you could defeat him in November?
And you know, we're not going to do it with the guy who's suffering from dementia.
Why is it a sin that you can say that?
God damn it.
Oh, God damn it.
You know, if he loses, he's got no one else to fucking play with.
I'm so glad we're able to have manners as this whole system is being aware of.
Fucking people dying, living under bridges.
Fucking, we're setting the whole Mideast on fire still, and you're still fucking being polite to Joe Biden, a guy who wants to do more of that.
It's like, and there's so many ways to, I can answer this question.
I could say, no, no, it's not a personal attack.
It's a fair question about the health.
After my heart attack, everybody asked that question.
It's a reasonable question to ask.
I've answered it.
I've had the stint.
I've lived for people.
There's plenty of evidence.
That's another way to answer.
It's a great way to answer.
It's a great way to answer it.
But I have some questions.
And I'm just saying because I'm running against him.
Obviously, you pointed out other people who are running it.
It's like, he's my friend.
If I wasn't running, I would have this concern.
Like, I mean, Joe Biden is to the point where you take a Guy's keys away.
Yes, we had to do that to my father.
My father's, his mental acuity.
My father's a PhD, spoke three languages.
He was one of the most amazingly smart guys I've ever met.
And he started losing his mental acuity.
And he got in a couple little fender benders.
And I was like, no, this is not safe for the people in Chicago where he lives.
I go, it's not.
I go, Dad, you're going to end up, I don't want you to spend the last years of your life in jail.
And how would you, would you want to live with yourself if you really hurt somebody?
Oh, I'm fine.
No.
And I had conversations with my brother and sisters.
I said, it's not safe for the public.
It's not safe.
And he would drink and go drive and he wouldn't remember.
And I was like, this is bad for everybody.
It's not good.
Now, imagine if instead of my dad's Prius, it's the United States of America.
You should have the same concern.
I hope if I ever get to that place, I don't have kids of my own.
I hope my nieces and nephews go, hey, Uncle Graham, it's time, buddy.
You can't drive anymore.
So this was the guy who was, you don't need to remember, but in 2008, when they were coming up with a plan to bail out the banks and save people's houses, one of the plans was that they would actually, people who are at risk of being foreclosed on, we would help them not lose their house.
And this guy's big idea was, why are we bailing out deadbeats as we're giving trillions of dollars to Wall Street?
Well, he said we shouldn't help people save their homes because they're deadbeats.
That's who this guy is.
That's the kind of guy who gets a job at CNBC.
That's the kind of guy.
That's the kind of weird, perverted your brain on capitalism thinking.
That's who this guy is.
And you want to see your brain on capitalism when it comes to the coronavirus?
Because the coronavirus is going to cause economic upheaval.
And you know, that's the worst.
That's so fate worse than death.
Rick Santelli.
Rick Santelli.
So economic upheaval is that fate.
If someone's going to lose money, we better fucking do something.
And if some people have to die, then they got to die.
You think I'm kidding?
Watch this.
Think about how the world would be if you tried to quarantine everybody because of the generic type flu.
Now, I'm not saying this is the generic type flu, but maybe we'd be just better.
Yeah, that's a bad comparison, Rick.
You know why?
Why there's a pandemic is because the regular flu doesn't kill people like the coronavirus does.
The coronavirus kills people at some 20 times the rate of the regular flu.
20 times the rate of the regular flu.
That's why it's serious.
You tool.
But watch what he says.
Watch this.
Think about how the world would be if you tried to quarantine everybody because of the generic type flu.
Now, I'm not saying this is the generic type flu, but maybe we'd be just better off if we gave it to everybody.
And then in a month it would be over because the mortality rate of this probably isn't going to be any different if we did it that way than the long-term picture.
But the difference is we're wreaking havoc on global and domestic economy.
So do you realize what he just said?
Oh my God.
Let's kill a bunch of people because we're going to, the economy.
Let's give it to, let's not try to stop it.
Let's not try to contain it until we come up with a vaccine.
No, because that's bad for that's bad for this guy's stocks.
What we should do is give it to everybody, kill a bunch of people, millions and millions of people, so then the economy comes back.
And that, as this woman says, that is your brain on capitalism.
That's like when Larry Kudlow said after the tsunami in Japan that, you know, yeah, the loss of life is bad, but the bad thing is the economic.
Do you remember that?
Yeah.
It like somebody suggested, why don't we have just drive-through testing?
Why can't we have this?
Like, and Mike Pence, is he going to just shock the gay out of the coronavirus?
Is that what Mike Pence is going to do?
He's the czar on this deal.
Like, come on, man.
I mean, this, this virus is pretty serious.
And I don't want to be too tinfoil hattie, but then I also, I also see like everyone was out in the streets protesting in Hong Kong and all these cities.
And now, oh, you think they invented this virus to get rid of the protesters?
Is that what you're saying?
That's your big theory, Graham.
I don't think they invented it to get rid of these protesters.
I think, though, I think it's serious.
I think we should talk about it.
But I think they're absolutely using it in certain instances to like get people off the street.
Well, it is scary.
You know, who knows the origin of this coronavirus?
But it is scary that they're going to just, hey, that guy's got it.
We got to take him.
And they just throw you in a van and you're gone.
I know.
And we talked about this too.
And that's it.
If it looks like.
And then, oh, he died.
Sorry.
He got the coronavirus.
He died.
We had to coordinate him and he died at Ron's.
Jelie Manning's going to get the coronavirus, I bet.
Oh, I bet you.
They're going to have, they're going to like, oh, no more press in Julian Assange's next trial.
Can't have any press in the coronavirus.
We got to, we got to seal that off.
And like, it looks like there's a bunch of Bernie delegates who are going to maybe storm the convention.
I bet you there's an outbreak in Milwaukee a week before.
We got to shut down the convention.
And then we got to have a broker convention behind closed doors.
We'll figure it out.
We'll film it.
Maybe.
Maybe.
But not with the virus.
No, not with the virus.
So here's Larry Kudlow after the tsunami.
Ready?
A coast of Mexico and California saying it does not anticipate any impact.
And Norwegian cruise lines with a ship off the coast of Hawaii and another close to California says that both of those ships are safe and expected to return to their schedule as expected.
Melissa, back over to you.
All right, Julia Borston, thanks so much.
Let's take a look at the markets right now as we get close to the top of the hour here.
You can see the Dow is trading in positive territory.
It's up a little more than a tenth of a percent, but still in positive territory, three-tenths of a percent for the NASDAQ.
And look at the SP bouncing back.
It's up about four-tenths of a percent.
All in all, the market taking this in stride.
I mean, the human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that.
Oh, my God.
And the human toll is a tragedy.
We know that.
But these markets are safe.
All these markets, right?
Stocks, commodities, oil, gold.
There is no major breakout or breakdown.
As the traders told.
And so it's okay.
Oh, good.
He said that.
Where's that?
That's CNBC.
Where's this guy?
This guy's at CNBC.
Give everybody the coronavirus.
Let's let millions and millions of people die because of it.
But our markets will stay.
We'll be back within a month.
That's what he's saying.
And now here's what Larry Kudlow says.
Hang on, let me fast forward.
About four-tenths of a percent.
All in all, the market taking this in stride.
I mean, the human toll here looks to be much worse than the economic toll, and we can be grateful for that.
And the human toll is a tragedy.
We know that.
But these markets are safe.
All these markets, right?
Stocks.
But these, I mean, to human tolls, that's bad.
But the fucking, come on.
The smock market, that affects me.
If you want to know what the 1% thinks of you, that's it.
There it is.
There you go.
It's almost like when Trump, his reaction to the World Trade Center.
Yeah.
How he heard about 40 Wall Street now being the tallest building.
He's almost the same thing.
So there you go.
That's your brain on capitalism.
Wow.
That's like, if you wrote that as a sketch, people will go, it's a little over the top.
You're going to have to blow a horn when you say that.
It's not funny enough because it's too.
No, it's for real.
He really said it.
You should bring your chair up.
Right?
What?
Why do you have the load chair?
You got to bring the ladies know how it works.
Larry?
Come on.
Come on.
You're pulling a Bloomberg.
These union workers that have been working countless hours under the Trump administration.
I'd like you to explain how you plan to not only keep us working, but how you intend on getting the union vote when there is a large portion of the union workers that are young enthusiasts and you are actively trying to diminish your Second Amendment right and take away our gun.
You're full of shit.
All right.
Thank you.
Shush.
I support the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment, just like right now.
So that's his staffer who's trying to get him.
He's talking to a union worker and says you're full of shit.
That's his first response.
You don't think this guy is suffering from dementia?
Because that's what you do.
You get violent.
A lot of people get violent when it happened.
They get unexplained anger outbursts.
He's campaigning.
That's a union worker talking about a legit issue.
And then he shushed his female campaign staff.
Yes.
Watch.
Let's watch.
Let's watch.
Fire.
That's not free speech.
From the very beginning, I have a shotgun.
I have a 20 gauge, a 12 gauge.
My son's hunt.
Guess what?
You're not allowed to own any weapon.
I'm not taking your gun away at all.
You need 100 rounds.
What were you doing?
I did not say that.
That's not true.
I did not say that.
It's a viral video like the other ones are putting out that they're saying they're alive.
Your voice.
You said that you're taking a gun to the bottom.
No, he just clarified it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Let's take your AR, your AR 14.
This is not okay.
Hold up, hold on.
All right.
There's a lot of guys.
I'm not worried.
There's a lot of people.
Look, here's the deal.
Here's the deal.
Are you able to say are you able to do that?
That's great.
I'm not in the machine guns.
Let's not.
Send me out of my gun.
Yeah, Jesus.
You need 100 rounds.
You need 100 rounds.
In America with handguns, there are what you call assault rifles.
Why are you educating for assault rifles?
So that's Joe Biden screaming in a union worker's face.
There you go.
There's your president tells a union worker you're full of shit.
Imagine if Trump did that.
Can you imagine the fucking pants wetting that would be happening at MSNBC and CNN right now if Trump did that to a union worker, told him you're full of shit?
This is your Democratic Party.
This is what they're doing to the country.
Who's a bigger enemy of the country?
Susan Sarandon, Jill Stein, or Tom Perez, Nira Tandon, and the Democratic Party.
This is what they're doing to you.
They're running a guy who's got obvious dementia who's screaming at voters constantly.
Go vote for the other guy.
Go vote for someone else then.
Get out.
You're full of shit.
Okay, fat.
Okay, fat.
Hey, fat.
Can you imagine if the fucking Donald Trump's this is the guy?
So I don't understand why he can be so blustery, so crappy to voters, and everybody wants to, he has decency.
He's no, he doesn't.
That's a that's a lie.
Joe Biden is not a decent guy.
Joe Biden has been the enemy of workers his entire life.
Joe Biden has been the enemy of liberty.
He's been the enemy of peace.
He's been the enemy of decency.
He's been the enemy of keeping people in their houses his entire life.
He's not a decent guy.
Joe Biden is the epitome of corruption.
If Bernie said this to a union worker, go to the bottom.
Oh, my God.
And the Second Amendment people have confronted Bernie like this, and he sticks to his.
He goes, well, that's my policy.
I don't agree with that.
I'm not going to take your gun.
Like, he says his thing.
I mean, Bernie's the guy that hugged a guy that said, I want to commit suicide.
And he says, no, you're not.
No, you're not.
That's how Bernie talks to people.
That's how Bernie talks to regular workers.
He hugs them and says, no, no, no.
Which is why it's so even more heart-disheartening when Bernie isn't like fighting the way we want him to fight.
And then this is the guy everyone's, this is who Carl Reiner or Rob Reiner, whatever, this is who Rob Reiner wants to get behind.
This is the guy.
Because you know what?
Rob Reiner thinks working class union people are dumb.
That's what that's, and you know what?
It's a sad reality.
I hate to admit it, but the college-educated neoliberal, when the conservatives call them out on this, they're not wrong.
You know, it is, they're not wrong.
The college-educated neoliberals are like, ah, these dumb working-class mopes with their guns.
Look at this bearded union guy.
Because you've never worked a day in your life.
You've never worked a day in your life.
That's right.
And you talk down to them and then you get so offended when the right talks down to inner city people of color.
Oh, they're dumb.
They don't work hard.
You get all offended at that.
And rightfully so.
That is offensive.
That is a wrong stance to stake.
But then the working class person you talk down to in the same way, they've all been screwed.
The working class person of every ethnicity has been screwed over.
Yes.
And Joe is no friend of the working class.
Hello.
Congratulations, Jimmy.
For what?
Participating in the most successful Democratic primary in history.
That's what.
It's been over a week since Super 2 State, and California still hasn't processed over 3.3 million votes.
Our sacred system of checks and balances is working.
What do you mean?
If you write enough checks, you get to put your thumb on the bounces.
Read your Constitution.
Send there somewhere next to the slavery thing, which we handle incrementally.
I mean, how do you hear you keep your pants up without a damn belt?
That's right.
You got to earn that bell first.
Then you can walk down Main Street again.
It may take until April to finish counting the votes in California.
Shouldn't you be outraged by this kind of delay?
Is California's Secretary of State a Democrat named Alex Padilla?
Yes, it is.
And does he support Joe Biden?
Yes, he does.
Then shut your mouth.
It's all under control.
Under control of what?
A nebulous and ill-defined phrase called the process.
But it shouldn't take seven hours to vote, Barack.
Polling stations shouldn't be understaffed, and it shouldn't take over a month to count votes in a democratically controlled state.
Can I please get some inspiring music while I gently point with my thumb and forefinger?
Jimmy, the great rich of our nation is distinguished by a proud electoral system based on a confusing patchwork of opposing rules and constantly changing requirements.
Good night, and God bless America.
That was sickening.
That's the process, Jimmy.
Trust it.
Don't rush it.
That's why they call me No Drama Obama.
Instant voting results.
Instant voting results creates drama.
No drama, Obama, Mama.
How does instant voting results create drama?
You got to relax.
Trust the process.
But what about our future?
Oh, boo-hoo.
I have no empathy for young people.
You want free health care?
I'm going to stop getting sick.
Take responsibility for your health first, and then maybe you can borrow the keys to the damn car.
Look, before you go, do you have any advice for people worried about the coronavirus?
Yes.
Obamacare anticipated the scenario with their gold bullion bubble plan.
Look it up.
Stop whining about getting sick.
It's on symbol.
You bunch of dickheads.
I'm watching one of the boys special.

So here's one of the big outcomes of Super Tuesday that I don't think people realize.
And of course, this isn't going to be shouted from the desks of MSNBC or CNN.
But it is reported in Bloomberg that after Super Tuesday, Biden's comeback drives $48 billion gain for health insurers.
What?
Health insurers added about $48 billion in market value and led U.S. stock market gains on Wednesday after Joe Biden's once-faltering Democratic presidential campaign was reanimated on Super Tuesday.
So let me just put it this way.
If it was the opposite, if there was something Bernie Sanders had won and they would be shouting this if it was negative against this is negative against Joe Biden because it reveals exactly who he is.
And they're not going to shout this.
Why?
Because they're funded by health insurance companies and big pharma.
The news, I mean, the TV news, I mean.
The country's largest health insurer, United Health Group, increased its market capitalization by more than $20 billion in one day.
As Wall Street looks on a candidacy of the four.
You know, $20 billion isn't enough to end homelessness every year.
Just so you know.
Looks like a candidacy of the former vice president more favorably than that of Senator Bernie Sanders.
Biden favors building upon Obama's Affordable Care Act and may look to expand the private Medicare Advantage market where United Health dominates.
Medicare Advantage allows beneficiaries to get coverage from private insurers.
Anthemic, Inc., and United Health both had the biggest gains since October 2008, climbing as much as 16% and 13%, respectively.
Humana Inc.
and CignaCorp also posted double-digit gains, rounding out the top five performers on the SP 500 index Wednesday morning.
eHealth Inc., a company with an online comparison tool for Medicare plans, rose as much as 23%.
Biden's sweep on Super Tuesday will spur positive returns across the healthcare insurance peer group, as well as other closely tied sectors that the Sanders campaign has been targeting, said Jarrett Holtz, a healthcare strategist at Jeffrey's.
And now you know the rest of the story.
So the people who fund the news just made $50 billion because the news pushed Joe Biden.
Huh?
Wait a minute.
Is that how that sounds like a conspiracy?
Or is that exactly how it works?
Is that how our capitalism works here in the United States?
It's exactly how it works.
That's weird that the people who fund the news would make a ton of money off the candidate the news is pushing.
That's weird.
$50 billion.
And why does this happen?
Because Joe Biden is a willing servant of the moneyed elite.
You think I'm kidding?
Here's when he got into politics in the 70s.
Well, the fortunate thing is I didn't have many larger contributors.
And the only reason, see, I went to the big guys for the money.
I was ready to prostitute myself in the manner in which I talk about it.
But what happened was they said, come back when you're 40, son.
And so I had to go out.
Isn't that funny?
Isn't that funny?
I went out to prostitute myself.
I went out to get money from powerful people and then do their bidding.
And they said I was too young.
They said, come back when you're 40.
Well, I think Joe's over 40.
And I think they came back.
What else do you need to know?
Joe Biden wins Super Tuesday and the health insurance stocks go up $50 billion billion dollars.
You know, it's $65 billion to send everybody to fucking college for free.
Do you see how they're, do you see what suckers they play you for?
That somehow we can't come up with as much money as the health insurance industry makes in one day on the stock market.
We can't come up with that money to send people to college.
It's undoable.
That's how it works.
They buy the news media.
The news media does their bidding.
And then we have a completely corrupt country, which is what we're living in.
And then we have fake tough guy, Lawrence O'Donnell, go on and interview Joe Biden and just do propaganda.
Not one pushback, not one nothing, no actual facts about Joe Biden's record.
They got to leave that up to me.
We'll do it.
Okay, let's throw it over to you, Guy and Lee.
A little depressing.
Right now, Joe Biden has 729 delegates to Bernie's 597.
I think Bernie's right.
I think that he could win then.
I think Biden can beat Trump.
And I will help him.
I will help him.
I mean, you've seen the whole, you've seen this whole strategy.
We've been watching this for a while, but Super Tuesday really, every time there's a new primary, it focuses it even more, right?
So Iowa, we say, oh, oh, that's how they're going to do that.
That's how they're going to do it there.
Yeah, okay.
And we get to Super Tuesday, and they've purged these votes in California so Bernie doesn't sweep all the delegates.
Right.
And they also.
And by the way, they're not all.
Go ahead.
They're not all totaled.
No.
And they still have.
so Bernie's victory is being suppressed because they said.
Also, in Texas, they closed polling places.
750.
750 polling places.
And then it's been coming out that the exit polls and Biden's wins are way past the margin of error.
Like double digits past the margin of error.
That doesn't, you can't, that's, you can't say, oh, poll unit, you can't trust three or four percentage points.
Yeah, but 10, but 15, no.
So it's like they've been doing this.
And it's, it's, they put it out in the open.
Every debate, they go after Bernie's plan.
He doesn't know how much it costs.
He'd say it costs $34 trillion.
The current plan costs $50.
He says that every time, then they cut to a commercial from a big pharmaceutical company every time.
Like, it's so right in front of you.
I just, it's like, it's unbelievable.
Bernie hurts all of these billionaires, and then he plays ball with them.
I just like, I mean, he's put, I've started to see some negative or calling out Biden's ads by the Bernie campaign that are starting to be.
A little too late, a little too late.
Should happen before Super Tuesday.
Yeah.
You know, Jimmy has talked frequently about Bernie Sanders strategists, and they're failing.
And they're failing a winning campaign, and they're losing to Biden.
What?
You're losing to Biden, the most beatable guy ever.
And it's just, I don't, I don't get it because like when Bernie came out with his, we revamped Green New Deal over the summer, I went, wow, he really gets, and he's, and his campaign speeches started to change.
His interviews started to change about the severity of climate change.
He was talking about it before.
But his new green, his Green New Deal in the summer, I was like, oh, he understands.
Yes.
Emergency.
The urgency.
Off of oil by 2030.
No Mickey Mouse cap and trade and gas mileage standards.
No.
Off of oil.
Done.
He's made that a cornerstone of his campaign, right?
Tulsi wrote the Off Act.
He gets how severe this is.
Let me tell you something.
If we have a centrist in the White House, we're doomed.
If we have another four years of Trump, it's over.
It's too late.
It's too late.
And all these any blue will do's don't get that.
They don't understand that.
It's like every 97% of all scientists from every country on the face of the earth are like, and it's always worse.
The next report, the next projection, the actual numbers always surpass the latest projection.
I mean, it's like we've got the methane bomb.
We've got, you know, we've got 70-degree water in Alaska over in the spring, in the summer and in the spring.
That's scary.
Salmon dying?
Like anywhere you turn, it doesn't look good.
We just had fire tornadoes in Australia.
We're having rain right now in California, but we had a dry February.
If it doesn't rain again, what do you think next, what it's going to look like?
If the fires the size of Australia hit the United States specifically, California is going to be up in smoke.
The population of Australia is like maybe 10% of America's, but it's the same land mass size.
They had the equivalent.
I saw a photo, I put it on my show of the superimposed, the same scale, the map of Australia and the map of the United States.
And they had, you saw the number of how much land was on fire in Australia during the peak of the fires.
And you saw it over the United States.
It would be like a good 20 states would be like up in smoke.
That's horrifying.
What are we going to do?
Well, I'll tell you what we do, Graham.
We have prison labor fight our fires.
That's right.
Great idea.
That's right.
And then, of course, then you don't have to pay them a retirement.
They just, you know, they're just a labor force that can be easily disposed of.
And we've been doing that using labor, you know, from our prison system since the 40s.
So it's a good system, Graham.
And maybe Australia should pull their head out of the equator and join in and exploit labor force.
There you go.
That's just good for your country.
That's what we're missing.
Jimmy.
Yes.
I mean, and, you know, the bottom line is, I really, I'm going to ask and I'm going to beg the Bernie's campaign to beg Bernie to never say, I support Joe Biden.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Hello.
Hey, Jimmy.
Sup.
Are you chilling?
Vladimir Putin.
No, I'm not chilling, buddy.
It's been a bad week, actually.
Yes, I'm sorry, Jimmy.
I sympathize with you over Bet Bud dropping up your contest for next dictator thing.
I can empathize.
As you know, I empathize with Mr. Budag, for I also have a wine cave in Moldova.
And believe you me, I get a lot of shit for it.
I am far over it.
Talk to hands.
I didn't know you had a wine cave, Vlad.
It's just not affair.
I only have five women who manually rotate each of the 35,000 bottles daily.
You have 35,000 bottles of wine in your Moldova wine cave?
No, don't get all excited about it.
They're not the big bottles, you guys.
Like with the Galo or Mano Chevy, just notable size balls.
Where in the world did you get all that wine?
From grapes, you idiot.
No.
I mean, seriously, what kind of question is that?
No, that's not what I meant, Vlad.
Oh, great.
So now you hate capitalism, too.
Come on, man.
Without capitalism, I wouldn't have horse.
Yeah.
Or expensive shirt I don't wear when I ride horse in mood with sunglasses on in front of camera.
Interesting fact.
Did you know Herman Goering was commander of the Nazi Air Force during that big kerfuffle in the 1940s?
Did not know that.
Weird.
How could you possibly not know something like that, Vlad?
Hey, I may have been in KGB, but in history class, I got Cs and Ds.
That's what I get for going to Leningrad State.
Boy, was that college hicks?
Hey, how do you compliment a Leningrad State graduate?
I don't know.
How do you compliment a Leningrad State graduate?
Nice truth.
I got more of those if you like them.
That's okay, Vlad.
Thank you very much.
Hey, did you know that my grandfather was the official cook of Vladimir Lenin?
Turns out his favorite meat was hot dog.
Small world, right?
Is that where you got your taste for exotic wines from?
Yes, that's and from being a filthy, rich autocrat.
That part really helps with the exotic wines thing.
You know, from that perspective, Vlad, would you rather deal with as President of the United States Donald Trump or Joe Biden?
I'm going to go with a guy who thinks he's running for senator.
Hey, do you mind if I hang up now?
I am late for pumping iron with Dmitry Medvedev in a tight t-shirt while breaking no sweat with sunglasses on.
Followed by drinking tea and grilling meat.
Why?
Because it's Tuesday.
Okay, thank you, Glenn.
What we've been doing here at the Jimmy Dore show since 2015 or 2016, when I couldn't vote for Hillary Clinton, a war-mongering corporatist, and is try to tell people that, you know, when you pledge your vote to whoever the Democratic nominee is, now you've given away all your power.
That's what our message was.
That's what I said back then.
And what I would tell people, what I would tell my friend Jank Uger, was he was saying, you know, we're going to vote for Hillary and then we're going to fight her the day after.
I'm going to start fighting her the day after the election.
And I said, you know, all the power you have over your politicians is in your vote.
There's your power.
And so if you pledge your vote to them and you can't get them to move before you vote for them, how in the hell are you going to get them to move to you after they've already gotten your vote?
That doesn't make sense.
And what's happening now is proving my point that that was not.
That strategy is incoherent and contradictory.
How are you going to get a politician to do what you're bidding after you've given away your power?
The only time they're going to get them to do your bidding is if you still have a little power over them, which is the power of your vote.
Now, here is from 10 years ago.
This is Glenn Greenwald, Jenk Uger.
And the reason I'm bringing this up is because of the new videotape from Lawrence to fake tough guy Lawrence O'Donnell that has surfaced.
And so we're going to get to that right after this.
But let's watch this first.
This is from 10 years ago, right after the Democrats under Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi got wiped out.
Remember in Congress, they got wiped out.
So this is right after the midterm where they got wiped out.
Watch this.
He is the definition of firebrand.
How much longer can it be taken?
How much longer can people with an agenda like the sort of things that you advocate for, Jenkin, that you advocate for, Glenn, continue to look to this political structure to do it and this president and this party to do it.
At the end of the election, how much longer can progressives look to the Democratic Party to fulfill what we want done in government?
How much longer can we do this?
And here's what Jenk says.
I said, that's it.
I'm done.
End of this.
Okay.
Now, I was never really one of the guys who supported the White House for the sake of supporting the White House.
In fact, I got a lot of heat for that, right?
Remember, because I challenge the government.
And I think that's part of the job of the media.
I know Glenn does as well.
But after the elections, even if you were on that side, really?
I mean, because remember what they told us.
Obama's a genius.
I couldn't possibly understand his genius.
He's playing three-dimensional chess.
What part of three-dimensional chess do you give away your queen, your knight, your bishop, and the House of Representatives?
No, they were wrong.
We were right.
It's time to fight.
Where's the leverage, Glenn?
So this is 10 years ago.
They were wrong.
We were right.
Time to fight.
So, okay, so now we'll go.
So that's 10 years, a decade ago.
They're saying this.
And now here's what Dylan Radigan asked the obvious question.
Where's your leverage over your politicians?
And here's what Glenn Greenwald says.
Well, that's the issue is there hasn't been any leverage because you can complain and object to all sorts of things.
But at the end of the day, politicians know that you're going to give them your undying and unconditional support because the other side is just mildly worse.
What you're doing is you're ensuring that you will be ignored.
But I think this is 10 years ago.
They're all agreed on this.
They're all saying the same things.
I don't know what happened.
Here's even earlier than that.
Here's Lawrence O'Donnell.
This is from that movie, An Unreasonable Man.
It was about Ralph Nader, and it was made by friend of the show, Steve Scrovan, that movie, Unreasonable Man, a documentary on Ralph Nader.
And here's what Lawrence O'Donnell said inside that documentary.
If you want to pull the party, the major party that is closest to the way you're thinking to what you're thinking, you must, you must show them that you're capable of not voting for them.
If you don't show them you're capable of not voting for them, they don't have to listen to you.
I promise you that.
I worked within the Democratic Party.
I didn't listen or have to listen to anything on the left while I was working in the Democratic Party because the left had nowhere to go.
So this is what I have been saying at this show for four straight years.
And everybody made me out to say I was called a petulant child on air by my friends.
I was called every name in the book.
And then, of course, they just start calling you the conspiracy theorist.
That's a natural progression of smearing.
And of course, it's turned out we've been right about all the major issues we've stuck our chin out on on this show, which is kind of remarkable.
I was expecting to be wrong about one of them.
We were right about the Russiagate impeachment, voting for Hillary Clinton.
We were right about pledging your vote to a party or a candidate before the election.
And here it is right here.
He says, if you do that, we don't listen to you.
I lose in Democratic politics.
I'm telling you.
And now he gets paid to not tell you that.
He's not going to tell you that tonight.
You got to withhold your vote from Joe Biden.
He's not going to tell you that.
He won't ever say that.
He's not going to, because that would mean he has consistent and has integrity.
And those people on TV don't have integrity.
Their integrity has been purchased by an evil corporation, and they are now a willing cog in an evil wheel of disinformation and propaganda.
So here's what Crystal Ball has to say about the same topic, but she had to say it today.
The left is going to get blamed if Joe Biden loses, no matter what.
And by engaging in this whole unity thing, and of course, from the beginning, of course, we're going to vote for the nominee, no matter who it is.
You've just stripped yourself of power, of leverage, of being able to say, no, we're going to see who the nominee is.
We're going to see if they support our values, if they're worth earning our vote.
And the moment you take that off the table is the moment that they can just take you for granted.
Of course.
And I'm not lying that I've been saying this for four years straight.
Here is a video I just took a brief look, not at my own channel, but at the Young Turks channel.
Here it says Hillary Clinton needs to earn your vote, Jimmy Dore.
And here's part of it.
I'll give it to you.
Here we go.
We're all assuming Hillary is.
Let me just say this about Hillary Clinton, the most powerful political machine in the country.
Former senator, she had everything got the Democratic machine on her side.
She's got the establishment Media on her side.
She's got everybody on her side and she still doesn't have a message.
No message.
She doesn't have a message.
And let me tell you something else.
Hillary Clinton does not, you do not owe her your vote.
The Democratic Party is not Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic Party.
You are the Democratic Party.
You do not owe anybody your vote.
She's got to come and earn your vote, which is how that clip ends.
She's got to come and earn your vote.
You don't pledge your vote to a politician at the beginning of an election, the beginning of a primary.
They have to come get your vote.
So here, I'll just, I'll show you.
Here's one more.
And here's Crystal Ball.
She's had it with the Vote Blue.
I was there four years ago and she didn't have a show then.
So maybe she was there too.
But now it's nice to see I can find videos now of prominent people on the left saying exactly what we've been saying all along for four years.
And man, did we get beat up for it?
So maybe I don't know.
So anyway, here we go.
Look, fat.
Joe can say what he wants, and party leaders in the media can line up behind whoever they want.
You're not going to tell me or anyone else that we now have to vote for that person.
Voters don't owe you anything.
You're not entitled to their vote.
It's not the way this thing works.
You have to actually earn it.
It's so clear now that the whole vote blue no matter who line is a total con job designed to quash any dissent so that they can fully shove any neoliberal corporatist nonsense down our throats, whether it's Jamie Dimon or trashing Medicare for all or standard issue warmongering foreign policy.
We're supposed to just accept it all because at least it's not Donald Trump.
The responsibility is placed wholly on the voters to suck it up and vote Joe.
I'm not buying it.
If the choice is Donald Trump or Joe Biden, you can mark me down as officially undecided.
Now look, I'm never going to vote for Donald Trump, but I'm not sure at this point under these circumstances that I can vote for a Joe Kamala ticket or whatever ends up being on offer.
I know how mad people are going to be to hear that, how many ugly comments I'm going to get on Twitter, which is weird since I thought only Bernie people posted mean Twitter comments.
But honestly, I don't care because the policies and the critical importance of centering the working class isn't just some branding exercise or cosplay for me.
I actually care about it.
I'm willing to fight for it.
And I also care about power.
The moment that we all say, don't worry, Joe, we'll all back you up.
It's the moment that the establishment sees they can do whatever they want to us and sell out the working class for all eternity and we're just going to take it.
Think about this.
Why do these freaking never Trumpers and conservative Democrats have so much power?
It's because they're constantly threatening to vote for the other team.
We have to bend over backwards to keep them from wandering.
But the left, nah, they can spit in their face and they've still got to show up because Mitt Romney or Donald Trump or Josh Hawley or whoever is just too bad to contemplate the alternative.
And by the way, if the corporatists lose again anyway, after we all suck it up and vote Joe, they're still going to blame us.
Well, I'm for one, not in the mood to play along.
So if moderate voters are what you need to win, go ahead.
Try to win with your moderate voters.
Try to win while sticking your middle finger in the face of the Amazon and Walmart and Starbucks workers who sent in their $10 and $20 because they dared to believe in something better.
Try to win while smearing the young people organizing for the Green New Deal is toxic.
Try to win while insisting that Medicare for all is terrible in any way we can't afford it.
Maybe you should talk to some folks about whether they can afford the status quo.
Go ahead and try to win without this movement because most people aren't interested in voting for candidates who treat them like crap and view them with utter contempt.
So there you go.
The only thing, the only thing I would add to that is that she might be missing, which let me just add, they're not worried about losing to Donald Trump.
That's the thing.
So she's saying, go ahead, try winning.
They're not really even going to try.
They don't care if they lose to Donald Trump.
So that's the thing.
That's the thing that's hard for people to really wrap their mind around.
So you're pledging your vote.
You're doing unity videos.
You're doing all this vote blue no matter who.
But those people you're pledging your loyalty to have none towards you.
Zero.
Because what they really want to do is stop your agenda because they serve the same donor class.
Trump, Biden, same donor class, just as corrupt as each other.
And, you know, this idea, you know, to hear if Bernie Sanders goes around campaigning for Joe Biden, like he did Hillary Clinton, saying that Donald Trump's the most corrupt president.
It's just like, it just falls flat with a guy like Joe Biden.
He's corrupt 100% to the hilt.
I've got videos of him saying he tried to prostitute himself and he couldn't.
The big money guys wouldn't give him the money.
So I'll show you one more clip and then we'll throw it to our panel.
Here's me.
Here's when it was all coming down to the nitty-gritty.
This is after Bernie dropped out and this is when it looked like it was Hillary.
And Jenk asked me, what are you going to do?
How are you going to vote?
How is a progressive supposed to vote?
And here's what I said.
I will probably vote for Dr. Jill Stein or something like that in California.
But if I was in a state where it mattered, which is what you're really asking me, which is what you're really asking me.
Yeah.
I don't, I just can't, I can't, I can't, I have a theory, and here's my theory, that we are slowing down progress by electing neoliberals.
That sometimes it's got to get, you got to, you know, you got to have a higher fever to break the virus, right?
I'm the only one who thought that way.
Back then, back then, nobody was on board with me.
Nobody was a Jill Stein voter.
Right?
What did she get?
0.1% bowls?
What did she get?
I'm serious.
And I was pilloried.
To Jenk's credit, he never, I don't remember him directly voter shaving me to my face.
So I got to give him that.
But anyway, let me throw it to my panel.
So go ahead.
What would you like to say about those videos I played?
Well, I voted for Jill Stein in 2016.
I was in the same quandary and I was like, I mean, I, I know.
I was helping Russia and I was, it was so, it was, I was like, well, let me see if I got this right.
If I don't vote for Hillary, I'm a misogynist.
But if I vote for a female doctor who wrote the Green New Deal, she came up with this.
I'm a racist.
I'm a sexist.
I'm a Russian bot.
I'm all these things.
And you're petulant.
And you don't know how you don't know how things work.
No, I don't know how they want to do it.
You don't know.
You want everything you want.
You're spoiled.
Grow up.
Yeah, grow up.
You know, I have pie in the sky.
Yeah, you're pie in the sky.
And I, and I just was like, I can't listen to that.
And the fact from the first day I started doing political vigilante, I said, I will not back If they screw Bernie or they just put a centrist up there, this is before Bernie even announced.
And we even knew he was going to run again.
I said, I will only back a real progressive.
And you know what?
When I voted for Jill Stein, I felt good about it.
Me too.
I didn't feel bad about it.
I didn't feel bad about it.
People were like, there were only two candidates.
I said, no, actually, there were four candidates.
There was Gary Johnson, there was Jill Stein.
There was Trump and there was Hillary.
And there was like, and I said, what if we had a debate with those four with those four?
But Gary Johnson doesn't.
Yeah, yeah, great.
Then call him out.
He doesn't know where Aleppo is.
He said, but also then I wouldn't know where to bomb it.
That's right.
So I go, why, why?
What would that election have looked like if we had a real substantive debate?
They don't want it.
They don't want it.
No, they handcuffed Jill Stein to a chair for eight hours.
Yes, they did it in 2012.
And instead of doing that to Tulsi Gabbard, they just decided to remove her from the roster.
Well, they just changed the rules every five minutes.
That's what they do.
Tulsi, you qualified?
Oh, not anymore.
They just keep doing that.
And then people don't understand the import of Tulsi still campaigning for president.
If you don't understand that, you're fully indoctrinated.
You're missing a lot.
You are.
You're buying the propaganda.
And no matter what you think, because Tulsi's voice is vital right now.
And I don't agree with Tulsi on everything.
I don't agree with Bernie on everything.
I don't agree with anybody on everything.
But Tulsi Gabbard is speaking clearly and precisely about what is exactly happening right now with the establishment and what they're doing.
She's the only one.
Bernie's not doing it.
Bernie's not saying that the Russian hoax is exactly that a hoax.
Bernie actually says it's real.
He pushes the propaganda, which is now painting himself into a corner.
Tulsi doesn't do that.
She tells the truth about it.
She calls out the media.
She calls them despicable.
She calls out the intelligence community.
She said, if you're going to say Bernie's being propped up by Russians, you have to first show evidence or else you're meddling in our elections.
Bernie's not saying any of that.
She's in the military.
She's saying that about the intelligence community.
He's not saying any of that.
He's saying the opposite.
He's saying the intelligence community propaganda is true.
She's also speaking more clearly on our foreign wars than anybody.
No one would know what the regime change war even is if it wasn't for Tulsi Gabbard.
