Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy, baby, it's Double V. Oh, hey, it's Vince Vaughn, conservative actor and friend of the show.
How are you, Vince?
What's up?
I'm doing fantastic, James.
I couldn't be better.
Vince, where are you?
Are you sheltering in place or are you at home?
I'm at the groove, baby.
The grove, Vince.
You're not supposed to be out and about.
Oh, because of the virus?
That scary, scary virus?
Yeah.
Oh, I'm going to completely stop living my life because of this tiny little microscopic dot.
Come on, Jimmy.
Are you wuss?
I didn't take you for a wuss.
I'm very surprised to learn that you are a wuss, as a matter of fact.
Vince, look at what has happened in Italy.
Yeah, well, maybe that's because Italy hasn't been clean since like 4 BC.
It's a filthy shithole.
Of course, there's diseases.
This is the United States of America.
We are clean.
I'm looking around at the grove right now.
This is sterile as shit.
I'm feeling extremely patriotic walking around this clean grove.
Vince, the experts are telling us the infection rate could be catastrophic if we don't socially distance buddy.
Hey, Jimmy, remember the 90s when everybody told us that if we had sex with women without a condom, we were going to get HIV and probably die.
How can I forget, buddy?
If that had actually been true, can I be honest?
Can we be frank here?
You and I would have a lot of AIDS.
Vince, like the maximum amount of AIDS.
Tech tech.
But guess what?
We don't.
Because it turns out, and this may shock you, that Madonna may not have been telling us the truth.
That was a really hard thing for an entire generation to accept the fact that things Madonna said on MTV may not have the best veracity, so to speak.
Okay, but what does that have to do with right now, buddy?
Look, if I'm not going to listen to what Madonna says on MTV, I'm definitely not going to listen to what Donald Trump says on CNN.
Quite frankly, none of those four things in that sentence are things that should be listened to at all.
Wait, I thought you were a Donald Trump supporter.
I am, and a very proud one, sir.
What's your point?
Why are you saying that you're not going to listen to him?
That's my point.
Because he's Donald Trump, for Christ's sakes.
Yeah, just because I support him doesn't mean that I think he knows anything or is some sort of expert in epidemiology.
Hell, that's why we support him.
He's just a mean idiot giving the middle finger to the whole world and fucking rules.
So Donald Trump supporters are not going to listen to the president of the United States when it comes to precautionary action regarding the coronavirus?
Not if we don't like what he's saying, we're not.
We're a complicated bunch, Jimmy.
We are large.
We contain multitudes.
We contradict ourselves.
We can support him and completely ignore him when he turns a corner and urges people to do the sensible thing for once.
Vince, do you realize the danger you and others are putting us in by ignoring these guidelines?
Danger?
You want to talk danger?
I'll tell you what the real danger is.
The federal government telling us what to do.
Regular, red-blooded American citizens lying down to the jackbooted thugs of the state trying to run our lives.
Then what's going to stop the spread of the disease then, Vince?
Think about that.
The free market, baby.
How will the free market save us?
I don't know.
I'm not an economist.
But I know that that's always the solution, no matter what.
This is what we believe.
And we can't have a free market without an economy, so people need to go out and do things and buy shit, like after 9-11.
But the virus is...
God damn it, Jimmy.
Why won't you listen?
If everyone just buys shit, then the invisible hand of the free market will wash itself for a long enough time.
I don't know where this analogy goes.
The free market is always the solution.
The government is always the enemy, and I simply refuse to think about this or anything else any further or engage in any reflection whatsoever about anything.
Do I make myself clear?
Yes, crystal clear, Vince.
Okay, good.
Well, look, I gotta let you go.
I'm about to head over to the Santa Monica Pier, and I like to watch videos on my phone while I drive.
You can't tell me what to do!
Establishment media sets on its fighting.
So good luck.
Watch and see as a jack-dollar comedian who speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head-on.
It's the Jimmy Door show.
Hey, everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the joke, shall we?
Virus update.
Hey, don't forget to wash your hands of the Democratic Party.
It kills the elderly and the poor and spreads war across the world.
This just in from the CDC, the Republican Party is a disease, and the Democratic Party is its delivery system.
Shelter in place.
Hey, the best way to sanitize your iPhone is to drop it at a toilet full of rubbing alcohol and rice.
Here's an idea.
Fuck your thousand dollars and honor our right to free health care.
Yes.
My wife sold her toilet paper so she could buy me paper towels for our anniversary.
And I sold my paper towel dispenser so I could buy her XLAX.
Think about it.
*laughs*
That is so stupid.
You know, wealthy Americans telling Americans not to hoard.
It's so uniquely American.
I can't believe Sanders took the low road during the debate and made the coronavirus a healthcare issue.
Hey, America, if you have symptoms, don't forget to see the primary care physician one quarter of you don't have.
Hey, what's my debate takeaway?
Well, Joe Biden lying without an audience is just as stomach-turning as Joe Biden lying with an audience.
Hey, due to the pandemic, Maine announced they're postponing their March Cornhole tournament by eight weeks.
Stay safe, everybody, and wash your cornholes.
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
Trump brings socialism to America and outlets the Democrats once again.
Plus, Trump's economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, says the government should own part of the corporations that they help bail out.
Reality, truly stranger than fiction.
Plus, is the DNC complicit in manslaughter for telling people to vote in the middle of a pandemic?
The answer just may surprise you.
Or will it?
The CDC guidelines on who should be voting.
Do you know who should be voting?
The answer just may surprise you.
Or will it?
Plus, is Bernie being cheated again at the polls?
We have Tim Canova, who was a victim of election fraud in his two campaigns against Debbie Wasserman Chiltz weighs in with what's exactly going on in this primary.
Plus, we have phone calls today from Vince Vaughn, Mitt Romney, Harrison Ford, and Bernie Sanders.
Plus, a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door show.
Oh my God, is that Harrison Ford calling me?
Hello.
In conclusion, if I might just add this, Harrison, it's me, Jimmy.
Jimmy, Harrison, Harrison Ford, I'm glad you called.
I have some important information regarding what's going on now with the thing, you know, the stuff going down and all.
Where are you?
I don't know, but it looks an awful lot like my kitchen.
As a matter of fact, I think it is my kitchen.
I guess there's only one way of finding out.
Hey, are you my kitchen?
Is it your kitchen?
Damn, kitchen.
Get out of there.
My kitchen out.
You said you had some important tips regarding the coronavirus.
Do you have any?
Yes, first of all, it's one word, not two, okay?
Coronavirus.
One word, understand?
The sooner we all understand that, the sooner we can get through this.
Okay, all right.
Thirdly, and C, be vigilant.
For instance, since this whole thing started, I've been soaking my joints in rubbing alcohol.
Smoking pot and rubbing alcohol sounds dangerous.
Talking about my hips.
I'm 77 years old.
And thirdly, sanitize your flaps.
You can't fly with dirty flaps.
Check your damn flaps.
Do a flap check and sanitize them.
And fourthly, when washing your hands, do the five-second rule.
No, no.
What's the five-second rule?
That's where you look at your hands for five seconds and save.
Who's that joining in?
Wait.
There's my hands.
There's the soap.
There's the water.
Oh, well, five seconds are up.
Time to eat.
Well, what if you don't have any soap because people have been hoarding?
Good question.
I found from personal experience: if you run out of soap, you can always make do with industrial-grade jet fuel.
And what if you don't have jet full lying around because you don't own a bunch of airplanes?
Good question.
And it's time to open up your panic room.
Now, if you're like me, your panic room is in a remote area of northern Montana, encased in a concrete bunker.
You'll need a helicopter to get there.
Be sure you got that ready.
Alert your flight team.
What if you don't have any of those resources and all you have is a room in an apartment somewhere in Los Angeles?
One word.
Social distancing.
Distance yourself from other people.
One method might be to fly above them in your vintage sup with Camel.
These are just suggestions, mind you.
Not every person will have a vintage sup with Camel.
As I said before, a helicopter will do.
I don't think any of these suggestions are very helpful, Harrison.
I got to be honest with you, Pill.
You're just upset right now because I'm sounding surprisingly lucid.
It's just that many of your suggestions just aren't practical to most people.
I understand that.
And that is why, for those who can't escape to their concrete panic rooms in the Arctic, I suggest hovering in place.
Get in your Bell 206 Long Ranger helicopter and hover in place.
Pilot's a tower.
Pilot's a tower.
I can't find my car keys.
Please advise.
Breaking in the face of coronavirus.
15 healthcare leaders and I published an open letter in the USA today with an urgent life-saving message for all American state and local leaders, our healthcare and workforce.
Stay home.
Not go out and vote.
Arizona, and here's Tom Perez.
Oh, my God.
Arizona, Illinois, and Florida are all voting today.
Please remember your health comes first.
Oh, you asshole.
If their health came first, Tom, you would postpone this primary today until you got everybody mailing ballots.
Please remember your health comes first.
Stay safe and take care of yourself.
Thank you to all the voters, poll workers, and staff who are risking their lives and are going to, and lots of them are going to get sick and die because of this.
And a lot of their family are going to catch it because they caught it.
And then their family are going to die.
Stay safe and say, thank you to all the poll workers, voters, staff making democracy work.
If you have issues at the polls, call our voter protection hotline.
Tom Perez should resign.
He should have resigned a long time ago, but what a change.
He's literally killing people.
And the reason why they want this vote to go on is because if they fear that if it ends, then maybe Bernie Sanders will win in the future because people are going to realize we need Medicare for all because of this crisis and a UBI.
Even Republicans know that right now.
And so they'd rather their own voters get sick and die and their family if the corporation that owns Tom Perez can keep power.
Here's a guy who used to be Bernie Sanders' speechwriter.
He says the Democratic Party could have demonstrated leadership in a time of crisis.
So far, it has not.
We will all pay for it one way or another.
This is criminal.
Here's a just spoke with Deborah Collins, says Abshir Omar.
Just spoke with Deborah Collins at the Third Good Marshall Library about the horrendous conditions inside.
She's been waiting for an hour already and decided to step out to avoid the crowded room.
Here's what she says.
Marsha branch for voting.
There are senior citizens sitting in there.
They've been at two to three hours waiting.
There are too many people smashed together in there.
It's too close in there.
They're talking about all of this.
What's wrong?
It's taking too long.
And I mean, I've been standing out here an hour myself.
Too many people in there.
None of the senior citizens are being waited on.
They're just sitting there and waiting.
And a lot of people are leaving.
They're not voting because they're having to wait so long.
So they're leaving this home.
What is the matter?
Hope we got maybe 30-minute wait, two to three hours wait.
Something is wrong.
Somebody need to do something.
This is criminal.
I mean, legit, like not hyperbolic.
People are going to get sick because of this.
This is their government leading that.
This is amazing.
Here's what Katie Helper has to say.
She says, Tom Perot seriously needs to stop doing this and then resign.
I'm very critical of the Democrats, but I've never felt this physical, this physically sickened by them.
Tom Perez, go to the polls and volunteer.
Yeah, why don't you go work at a poll?
Why don't you go to Third Good Marshall?
The coronavirus chaos in three states resulted in closed polling sites, lack of cleaning supplies, and confused officials struggling to hold an election during a public health crisis.
Joe Biden and Tom Perez encourage people to vote today despite the high risks.
I don't think Bernie Sanders told anybody to stay home either.
And the reason I heard from my contacts inside the campaign was the reason why Bernie didn't tell, didn't call for a canceling of this or a delay of the vote today was because he was afraid that he would be seen as opportunistic.
So he decided to do the wrong thing because of optics.
That's where that's where the Sanders campaign is today.
They decided to let this go forward.
People, Bernie's aids, are going to die because of this.
They let this go forward.
It's amazing.
And even Bernie won't stand up.
Wow.
Tom Perez, this is Glenn Greenwald.
Tom Perez knowingly risked the lives of large numbers of people, including many in the highest risk group, to advance his trivial, stunted political goal of strengthening Joe Biden.
Hard to see how this doesn't result in infections.
It's sociopathic and it's morally grotesque.
Yes.
Sociopathic.
Tom Perez is a sociopath.
Anybody telling people to go vote today is a sociopath.
And shame on Bernie Sanders' campaign for not showing leadership right now.
That's why you're losing to Joe Biden because you don't show leadership.
Bending the knee to Tom Perez in the DNC constantly is the opposite of leadership and it's the opposite of what the country needs right now.
And now you know why you're losing.
Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make, says Joe Biden.
So here is that letter that they, here's an open letter to extend mail-in voting and reschedule March primaries amid pandemic.
This is at change.org.
This has been going around.
There's a bunch of doctors wrote this.
They say this is to DNC Chair Tom Perez and members of the Democratic National Committee and to the secretaries of state of Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Ohio, and Georgia.
The next round of Democratic presidents of primaries, there is all five states have declared states of emergency or have patients in quarantine in response to the COVID-19 novel.
Hundreds are sick and multiple people have died.
It has resulted in numerous cancellations and postponements, including presidential campaign events in Cleveland and Tampa.
In swing states of Ohio, the state's Department of Health Director Amy Acton said there is evidence 1% of Ohians may be carrying the coronavirus already.
That means 117,000 people may already have the COVID virus in Ohio alone.
Wow.
State officials in Arizona, Illinois, Ohio, and Georgia, with the support of Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns, should extend mail-in voting and reschedule the primaries for May when states such as Indiana, Oregon, and Kentucky have their primaries.
Until that date, mail-in voting should be implemented throughout under the guidance of health and election authorities.
We have seen long lines of voters in states like Texas and Michigan.
The amount of time standing in line with hundreds of even thousands of other voters substantially increases the likelihood that someone will get sick.
By postponing primary, state governments will be able to keep resources focused, and they will not need to worry about the distraction of running primaries while responding to this pandemic.
This will also give time for the states to implement alternative voting mechanisms, such as vote by mail at a sufficient scale if the pandemic continues to be an emergency for these states.
Furthermore, polling place workers who are generally retired volunteers over 65 years old should not be exposed to the risk of contacting the coronavirus while managing precinct locations.
We should note that we do not believe that public health crisis or a state of emergency should ever be used as an excuse to cancel elections.
The Democratic primary season concludes in early June.
The party has full flexibility to schedule state-level races at any point before then.
In addition to our primary concern about public health, we believe this would be beneficial to the Democratic process.
As people are understandably avoiding public places and crowds, we expect turnout to be depressed.
Extending mail-in voting and rescheduling the primaries would ensure that more people are allowed to exercise their right to vote without fear.
It would also be particularly good for down ballot races in the Democratic Party primary candidates in city, county, and state races that will likely benefit from a higher turnout.
For the health of our fellow citizens and our democracy, please act now to extend mail-in balloting and postpone the upcoming March primaries until May, signed a shit ton of doctors.
So this is that thing that everybody said Trump was horrible because he doesn't listen to science and he just listens to himself and all he cares about is himself.
This is Tom Perez and Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, doing the exact same fucking thing.
And Bernie Sanders is willing to risk the life and the health of his own voters, just like Joe Biden and Tom Perez's.
Wow.
That's the opposite of leadership.
Kyle Kalinske says, nightmare scenario.
Just learned that multiple family members of mine in New York City are showing symptoms.
New York are showing symptoms.
Everything should be fucking shut down last week.
Yeah.
It should be shut down last week.
And Biden and Tom Perez and Bernie Sanders are still telling people to fucking vote.
Could you go to Bernie Sanders' Twitter page?
Make sure he hasn't come out.
Make sure he hasn't told people that we or isn't asking to, because that's what he should be doing.
That's what they all should be doing.
The only reason that Tom Perez, well, here, you want to know what they're doing?
States delaying primaries past June 9th may face delegate penalties.
So they're threatening states if they delay their primaries.
The DNC is.
They sent this warning out last Wednesday.
Heard is a new memo from the Democratic National Committee panel that handles delegate selection for the presidential nomination warns that states that hastily change the first determining step of their own process, meaning the vote, the primary vote, that hastily changed the primary vote of their own process could be subject to penalties, including a 50% reduction in delegates if they hold primaries after June cutoff date.
This is the kind of shit that you would hear from, like you would expect from Dick Cheney.
This is the kind of anti-science, harmful shit that you would expect from fucking Dick Cheney.
This is the Democrats doing this.
The new DNC memo obtained by The Guardian was sent to members of the Rules and Bylaws Committee on Wednesday night, last Wednesday, almost a week ago.
Three states will hold primaries on Tuesday.
A fourth, Ohio, postponed its vote on Monday.
Why?
The governor said, shut it down.
It's a health risk.
A judge overruled the governor.
And then the health department said, no, fuck you, judge.
I'm the health guy.
We're shutting it down.
So Ohio shut down their voting because they're responsible and they're taking care of their people instead of exposing them to a deadly virus that was bound to kill lots of them.
I want to read you Bernie Sanders pinned tweet today, six hours ago.
If you have any questions about what is happening in your state, you can email us at info at Bernie Sanders.com.
And then it says, going to the polls amid the coronavirus outbreak is a personal decision, and we respect whichever choice voters make.
If you have questions about cowardly, stupid, that is a cowardly, stupid stance by Bernie Sanders and his campaign.
It's awful.
It's the opposite of leadership.
And all you know why you're fucking losing.
That's the opposite of leadership.
That's Bernie Sanders bending his knee to the Democratic Party again.
Whatever Tom Perez tells Bernie Sanders to do, he fucking does.
Shame on Bernie Sanders for this.
It's the opposite of leadership.
This is horrible.
Like Kyle Kalinske said, the country should have been shut down last fucking week.
And Bernie's telling people to go fucking vote.
A fourth Ohio postponed its vote on Monday.
So everyone's lying to people about this.
Donald Trump is lying to people.
Joe Biden's lying to people.
Bernie Sanders is lying to people.
Who the fuck isn't lying to people?
Tom Perez is lying to people?
It's not okay.
The states of Louisiana, Kentucky, Georgia, and Maryland have all postponed their votes.
We got to make sure Illinois and Florida vote.
Why?
Because we know they're going to go for Joe Biden.
So some people have to die.
So what?
And there are some people who are going to treat me saying this worse than them actually doing this to kill people.
Think about that.
There are some people who are going to say what I'm saying right now is worse than Joe Biden, Tom Perez, and Bernie Sanders telling people to go get sick and die for their own self-interest.
This is gutless.
It's despicable.
It's immoral.
And it's sociopathic.
And they're all playing the game.
Several states have taken steps to change the date of their first determining step, the vote.
God damn it, this fucking language.
It continued.
The delegate selection rules provide that each state's first determining step, that each state's vote must take place by June 9th.
If a state violates the rule on timing or any other rule, they could be subject to penalties as prescribed by Rule 21, including at least a 50% reduction in delegates, a 50% reduction in delegates, which will need to be reviewed by the RBC.
The deadline to elect convention participants is the 20th of June.
So state parties should have plenty of time to elect their delegates, alternates, and standing committee members.
When Louisiana moved its primary, the DNC issued a similar warning.
We will continue to work with every state party as they adjust their delegate selection plans around coronavirus, the DNC said then, adding a similar warning about their June 9th deadline.
Oh, well, I'm really glad we're going to pay attention to the rules.
I'm so relieved that all these rules are being obeyed so they can force a candidate on us anyways.
This is also that Tom Perez's donors and Barack Obama's donors, the people who made Barack Obama rich, Barack Obama, who left government, now has worth about $80 million.
Those are the people telling Tom Perez to keep doing this.
And then Tom Perez tells Bernie, you better not fucking say anything.
And then Bernie doesn't.
Ohio Democratic Party sues over the delay of the primary election.
So the health official.
So the governor shuts down the election.
They get a judge to overturn it.
The health official has to step in.
The goddamn Democratic Party fucking sued to keep the vote going.
These people are psychopaths.
So here's Josh Fox, Mr. Anti-Frack.
Mr. Vote Blue No Matter Who.
Look what he says about the Democratic Party.
He says, so let me get this straight.
San Francisco under 24-hour lockdown.
New Orleans says no gathering larger than 10 people.
The CD says CDC says no gatherings larger than 50.
New York City is completely shut down.
And yet the DNC is going to have a primary where thousands of people will be in line.
Yes, Jocks.
Josh, I don't know if you know, but the party you've pledged your loyalty to are fucking sociopaths who would rather see their own voters die than let a progressive fucking win the you don't get that about your own fucking this party you've pledged your loyalty to for a seat at the table you're with a bunch of fucking sociopaths bunch of goddamn sociopaths that's the group of people you want to get in with he goes the dnc and these states involved must immediately create a viable
online or mail-in options so folks don't get exposed and pass on this deadly coronavirus.
Yeah, FYI, they're not doing it.
I demand.
But you already pledged your vote to them, right?
But you already pledged your vote to them, right?
But now I demand.
I demand it.
Boy, that ringing sound.
Sounds like Mitt Romney's on the phone.
Hello?
Hi, Jimmy.
How are you and your sexy lady holding up?
What?
I mean, how are you and your loved ones holding up during this stressful time?
Well, we're doing as well as can be expected.
How are you, buddy?
Well, I'll be the first to admit that it's a bit overwhelming, Jimmy.
First, we lose Kobe.
Then the devastating news of Rush Limbaugh's illness.
And now this.
No words.
Well, we'll all just have to keep calm, Mitt.
Yes, I know.
They say bad things happen in threes.
But I never thought it would happen to me.
Wait, you think you have the coronavirus, Mitt?
Do you?
The what?
Wait, what are you talking about?
I'm talking about the death of Jack Wells, you big a-hole.
The former CEO of General Electric?
That's who you're talking about?
My heart aches.
Jack was never a spectator, always a participant.
Ann and I will miss our friendship that spanned three decades.
But most of all, I shall miss that scaly bald head of his, peeking out of his suit like a turtle in search of waste and inefficiency.
Oh, I thought you were talking about the pandemic right now.
The who?
What's it?
What now?
The coronavirus.
All that.
No worries there, my friend.
You've got to have faith.
We're going to get through this because it's all in his hands.
Wait, are you talking about God's hands?
I'm talking about Steve Mnuchin, you big a-hole.
That man gives me a tingle up and down.
down my portfolio so you like his idea of giving americans a thousand dollar checks?
Hey, I was the first human being to suggest that.
We must help ensure families and workers can increase the spending in the economy.
So you're okay with every American receiving a $1,000 check directly from the government.
Yes, except the 47%.
But how are you going to pay for it?
We'll finally make those lazy 47%ers pay their fair share of taxes.
And what about the millions of Americans that are living below the poverty level, Mitt?
Well, I tell them to invest in airline stocks.
It's an excellent addition to their portfolio.
And it's due to go through the roof once General Trump initiates martial law.
Oops.
Is that insider information?
Kidding.
Nobody cares about the law anymore, right?
Do you have any words of encouragement for the people of Salt Lake City after today's earthquake?
Yes.
Make sure your earthquake kit contains hot dog meats.
Jimmy, sorry to cut this short.
I'm expecting a call from Planet Kolob about my timeshare.
I hope you have a big capital day.

Thanks for your support.
So the coronavirus is getting done the kind of socialism that the Bernie Sanders campaign has been pushing for.
It turns out the coronavirus is our progressive champion.
Why do you say that, Jimmy?
Well, because, you know, I've tried to tell people the reason why this is my theory anyway.
The reason why they have Medicare for All have universal health care in Europe and UK is because they bombed the shit out of each other for four straight years.
So they had like a coronavirus thing happen for four years straight.
So they already had to confront stuff like this.
People getting blown to smithereens.
Can you imagine they bomb a couple of city blocks?
You got a kid with his leg blown off.
Where's your insurance card?
In the middle of a war.
You got to fill this out.
You got to fill this out.
So that's always been my theory why they got it and why they have Medicare for all and we don't because nobody bombed us.
Well, this coronavirus is like we're getting bombed.
And so we predicted on the show because I was finger crossing, but it was also confirmed by Dylan Radigan when he came on that Trump would do a UBI.
And I'm like, a UBI?
That seems like the crazy, to me, that's the biggest social program there could be.
Socialism, the government just gives you a check for doing nothing?
Yes.
And I said, why would they do that, Dylan?
He said, out of options.
Out of options.
So why doesn't capitalism save us?
Why doesn't all the corporate, why isn't Amazon and Microsoft and Apple and Wall Street?
Why aren't they saving us?
Capitalism.
Oh, they're not.
They're all becoming socialists now.
Of course they are.
Of course they are, because whenever the chips are down, you turn to the government.
We turn to each other, which is what government is.
Again, remember, it's socialism for the wealthy, rugged individualism for everyone else.
So here's what Trump is proposing.
This was from AP reporter Zeke Miller.
He said he's got insight into a treasury proposal from the Trump administration that they're going to deliver $500 billion in checks to millions of Americans, and the first round is coming in April 6th.
And Trump institutes full-blown socialism.
Full-blown socialism.
It's funny, some people are saying, that's not socialism.
What is it?
I don't know what they think.
Well, socially, no, it's not the workers owning the meetings of production.
No, it's not that.
I think maybe that's what they mean.
Millions of citizens are scared of socialism are now praying for government aid.
Millions of citizens scared of socialism are now praying for government aid.
All these people are voting for Joe Biden are hoping the government bails them out.
Joe Biden said he will veto Medicare for all.
So Trump has really done this.
There it is.
That's it.
It's going to happen.
Trump is instituting full-blown socialism.
Look at that.
It's giving you free money just for free.
And guess what?
No one's saying today.
Do you know what no one is saying today?
How are you going to pay for it?
No one's saying that.
Isn't that amazing?
Here's another one.
Here's someone else.
Trump ordered suspension of all evictions and home loan foreclosures.
Take that, Mnuchin.
Now, that is just for it only applies to homeowners with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration, a HUD agency said.
So if you have a mortgage through the government through HUD, Trump has put a moratorium on your foreclosures and evictions.
So it's not all foreclosures and evictions, which is coming next.
That's coming next.
I'll have to.
Can't kick people out of their fucking house in the middle of a pandemic.
And nobody's got money to pay their fucking mortgage.
So that's coming.
And remember when Barack Obama did this after the crash?
Remember, he put a stop on all the foreclosures and evictions?
Me neither.
Me neither.
Trump's more of a lefty than Barack Obama.
Trump is outlefting the left because we were in just as dire straits at 09.
People were ready for huge structural change.
People were ready.
Barack Obama did nothing.
And he disbanded his movement, got rid of his mailing list, told everybody to stay home.
And they went along and kicked 5.1 million families out of their houses.
Trump is outlefting fucking Barack Obama all over this crisis.
This is how he's handling the crisis.
He's stopping foreclosures, giving everybody a UBI.
Wow.
Let's see, what is this one?
Update, President Trump announced the closure of the U.S.-Canadian border to non-essential travelers as the coronavirus epidemic intensified in both countries, but said that trade would not be impacted.
So there you go.
I said they got to shut the country down.
They just shut the border down.
I'm sure the border's shut down.
So now we're shut down.
You know, Jimmy, they're still doing raids, immigration rates.
I can't, it's just nuts, Steph.
It's just nuts.
We'll cover that tomorrow.
We'll cover that tomorrow.
You know, Nancy Pelosi's big idea was that she's going to give 20% of the workforce sick leave.
20%.
Who's she going to pick?
It's crazy, man.
The Democrats are such a calcified party.
They can't even respond to this crisis.
They're such a calcified, they're completely calcified.
They're incapable of movement to help people, incapable.
The Republicans are more able to implement socialism than the Democrats are.
Neoliberalism is a killer.
Well, Jimmy, we were talking over the yesterday.
We were talking about how, you know, I have a bunch of friends who teach, and Gavin Newsome, I'm going to do a story later about what he's saying.
He's saying, hey, everybody, get ready.
School won't be returning for spring.
Won't be returning in the summer, most likely in the fall.
Now, in the meantime, they're saying, you know, kids are going to have to be resourceful and use the internet.
Well, at some point, isn't the United States going to have to make it a utility?
The internet, JD?
Yes.
Why?
Why would they, you know, like, right now, how does a kid who doesn't have a stable home condition, may be homeless, how are they going to be able to tend to their school studies?
That's a challenge beyond belief right now.
Trump suspending mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, now invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies is incredible.
Kind of a shell shock for anyone who reported on any economic policies in the Obama years.
Look what he's doing.
Trump suspended mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, spending mortgage focus.
He's demanding cash payments to Americans.
Now he's invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies.
So what he's going to do is use the bail.
Well, hopefully what, according to Lee, what Barack Obama should have did was use some of that bailout cash to get those corporations to do the fucking shit we want them to do.
Hey, why don't you make stuff back here in the United States?
So now we don't have a supply chain.
Now we've got to rely on China in a crisis.
So that's Trump's plan.
So it looks like Trump's plan is going to be to start $500 billion UBI.
It's going to start on April 6th, according to that reporting.
And some people are saying $1,000 a month payment.
Some people are saying $1,500 a month payment.
I saw Bernie request $2,000.
$2,000.
I saw Bernie request $2,000.
So $2,000 would definitely be better.
But I bet they settle on $1,500.
But who knows what they'll do?
This is from Bloomberg News.
Larry Kudlow said the administration may consider asking for an equity stake in corporations who want aid from taxpayers.
Democrats not even proposing this stuff.
This is socialist stuff, man.
So now the government is going to own part of these companies.
Finally, you mean I could have gotten stake in all those banks when we bailed them out.
Is that what they're saying, Jimmy?
That's what they're saying, Steph.
Now, I think the government did take a stake in GM when they bailed them out, but then sold it back or whatever.
But it just goes to show you all the power the government has when you're bailing people, when you're using socialism to bail people out.
You know, when you give someone a welfare check, you make them take a drug test, right?
So you can make people do stuff if they need your money.
So why do we do it to corporations?
Well, Larry Kudlow is thinking of doing it.
And by the way, it goes against, here we go.
The White House top economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, said the administration may consider asking for an equity stake in corporations who want coronavirus aid from taxpayers.
One of the ideas is if we provide assistance, we might take an equity position, Kudlow said Wednesday at the White House, adding that the 2008 bailout of General Motors had been a good deal for the federal government.
But Kudlow cautioned that the idea was just one of many and that the ultimate form of the coronavirus stimulus legislation would depend on what emerged from negotiations with Capitol Hill.
This thing is one day at a time.
Kudlow also said the administration could up the ante beyond its $1.3 trillion stimulus proposal if the economic impact of the coronavirus is worse than anticipated.
We'll do whatever it takes.
That's reassuring.
And it certainly sounds like they mean it.
Certainly sounds like they mean it.
Kudlow's comments about the GM bailout contrast with his assessment in 2009 when he called the Obama administration's rescue of the automaker an attack on free market capitalism.
So that was their version of Russia Gate.
Whatever Obama did, it's wrong.
Call it a bailout nation or ownership nation.
It's an unprecedented degree of government command, control, and planning, all in the name of tough economic, in the name of a tough economic downturn, Kudlow wrote on CNBC's website.
Everybody's a socialist now.
Now you want the government to own the companies.
Everybody's a socialist.
As soon as we get a crisis, everybody's a socialist.
Socialism for the wealthy, rugged individualism for everyone else.
Except we're getting a UBI, too.
They're going to do whatever it takes.
Believe me, we print our own money.
We're going to do whatever it takes.
So this idea, no one's asking him where he's going to pay for it.
No one ever.
You only ask what you're going to pay for it if it's actually going to help a fucking human being.
And Bernie was unable to do a slam dunk on Joe Biden when he kept saying that stupid thing of how you're going to pay for Medicare for all.
Bernie does not have a slam dunk, does not have a knockout punch, cannot drop a demented guy who's a walking death rattle.
And that is unfortunate because Bernie's platform and his policies and his movement are super important.
And the fact that he can't grab power and implement them or use the power he currently has is such a heartbreak.
I can't even tell you.
Now, I'm going to bring in Tim Canova now because he knows a thing or two about voter suppression and election fraud.
And Tim was, of course, running against Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida, and there was clear chicanery happening with the votes.
In fact, in his first run against her, they destroyed the ballots, which was illegal.
And so somebody was supposed to go to jail, except it's a one-party rule.
So it didn't matter.
They all covered for each other and nobody went to jail, even though a judge ruled it was illegal to destroy the ballots.
And here's Tim Kinova with us right now.
Hi, Tim.
How are you?
Hi there, Jimmy.
Doing very well.
Thanks.
So I just want to show you this.
According to the UN, exit poll discrepancies exceeding 4% signify election fraud.
Well, here's what we've got so far.
Look at the discrepancies.
Some of them, most of them are double digits.
Yes.
Double-digit discrepancy.
So, Tim, can you tell me what is your opinion about what's happening in this primary to Bernie Sanders?
How does Joe Biden, who was in last place, couldn't get 10 people to show up for a campaign event?
Is it even campaigning, by the way?
And Bernie Sanders getting huge crowds like normal.
Somehow, Joe Biden is kicking his ass.
Do you believe these results?
I don't believe any of the results.
You know, Joe Biden's miraculous surge makes no sense whatsoever.
Not only did the results exceed the exit polls, they exceeded the pre-primary polls, many of which had him in third and fourth place in some of those super Tuesday states.
We're supposed to believe the narratives that are being spun that it's all because of either voter suppression, voter suppression is real, but it's not on the kind of scale that could possibly explain these exit polls, for instance.
We're told the millennials didn't show up to vote, that the endorsements from Mayor Pete and some others were just unbelievable endorsements that shifted millions of votes.
I don't believe any of those explanations.
Really, the only explanation that makes sense is that the electronic voting machines, the software was rigged.
We saw this happen to us in both 2016 and 2018.
There's a reason they threw out the ballots from 2016 because they were afraid the ballots were going to show the reality, which is that the results were rigged.
Both times, the experts said our official results were mathematically impossible.
2018 was really a watershed because I went up and really put myself out there to expose these election, the election rigging by electronic voting machines.
I was writing to every senator, including Bernie Sanders and every member of the House.
They were on notice exactly what happened.
And Bernie Sanders and the rest chose to ignore it as if it wouldn't happen to Bernie Sanders in 2020.
You know, this is a sort of type of candidate malpractice that he didn't think it would happen to himself.
And then when it happened, he's not willing to step up and expose it.
Sanders' campaign raised $36 million last month.
They have the resources to expose this, and they choose not to.
Why do you think they choose not to, Tim?
Is it because just that just like Bernie Sanders in 2016, he's just going to bend the knee to the DNC like he did in 2016.
He's not going to ever point out they're cheating in a real way for whatever reason.
For whatever reason, yes.
You know, who knows what carrots or sticks exist to pressure Sanders.
Whatever carrots and sticks existed in 2016 presumably still exist, and he's just not willing to call it out for what it is.
And I think this is really, I called it campaign malpractice.
You know, Sanders styles himself as a Democratic socialist.
If he cared half as much about democracy as about the socialist agenda, then this would be exposed.
You're not going to have a Green New Deal.
You're not going to have Medicare for all as long as you have rigged elections.
It's that simple.
Election integrity is not an important issue.
It's the most important issue.
And not just Sanders, but many of his followers, taking his cue, have gone silent on this, and they've been silent about it for four years.
And that's really what the crime is.
Sanders would rather go along with the DNC narrative about Russia and all that nonsense, the Mueller report, spend $30 million plus, instead of trying to convince Trump that we need to have paper ballots.
And after all, Trump himself actually tweeted for paper ballots.
So instead of making this not just the top priority, but really the one and only priority to fix our elections, to reform a broken system, we don't have a democracy.
These election results, there's no reason to give them the presumption of legitimacy.
I'm just not surprised, though, that this has been a rigged campaign season.
Nothing was done in 2016 or 2018, and it's just not a surprise that it would happen again now.
So what do you make of this?
So here, Ocasio-Cortez says, I do not attribute the loss on voter suppression.
Biden won the night fair and square.
This is from the week before.
Anywhere with a multi-hour wait to vote, whether it's in Georgia, Texas, Michigan, or anywhere else, is a problem.
Voter suppression requirement.
So that's a contradictory tweet.
Well, how could it be a problem if it didn't swing the election?
So if it's not swinging the election, then it's not a fucking problem.
And so you're, you know, she's trying to be what this is, is her bending the knee to the DNC.
That's what that is.
It is.
And you know, Jimmy, voter suppression is a real problem.
Yes.
However, I also think it's a little bit of a distraction.
As long as we're talking about suppression, like there weren't enough voting machines in Michigan or in North Dakota, this is election rigging on a retail scale, you could say.
Rigging the electronics, the software, is rigging elections on a wholesale scale.
It's being able to flip a vote, flip millions of votes with just a few keystrokes, a few lines of source code, actually, is all it takes.
And, you know, in my last election, there was a Republican poll that was reported just a week or two before our election day.
And that poll had Wasserman Schultz and our campaign tied in a dead heat at 34% each.
I know.
If you could take someone who's in the 30s or higher and assign a 5%, that's what we supposedly got.
And not just 5% for one group, but for every single demographic, which the experts said is mathematically impossible.
You know, that is rigging with such impunity.
They tested it out on us.
They realized if they could do it on that kind of a scale so blatantly, of course, no one's going to stop them from doing it in 2020 against Bernie Sanders.
The other thing I should mention is that the only way to really catch them is to demand to inspect the ballots.
And when I asked to see the ballots after my 2016 race, I can't tell you how many of the political consultants and the folks in the progressive establishment Warned me against doing it and told me I'd be washed up in politics and you can't do that.
Nobody does that.
That's the problem.
Everybody's afraid to simply ask to see the ballots.
Sanders hasn't asked to see any of the ballots in any of these contests.
In Columbia County, New York, which is a couple hours north of New York City, you've got Dr. Virginia Martin was the Democratic Election Commissioner.
She had a Republican counterpart, and they were required to count all the votes by electronic machine under state law, but they went above and beyond that.
So after the machine count, this bipartisan effort of commissioners would have a paper ballot audit.
They would count 100% of the paper ballots cast in public by hand, and it would take some time, but it was a real transparent audit to verify the vote.
And by doing that, it deters anyone from rigging the election machines.
They don't want to rig the election machines, and then suddenly the paper ballots come out wildly different.
So we should either get rid of the machines altogether, and as they've done in most European countries, Britain just had big elections.
It was all paper ballots, counted by hand in public.
They had to wait until maybe midnight to get the election results, but they were fair, transparent, and verifiable election results.
You know, Americans are so used to turning on the TV, the polls close at 7 p.m., and we want final results by 8 or 9 p.m. because that's what the machines are going to feed us.
And, you know, we act as if we should trust these machines.
There's no reason to trust them.
There are three major vendors in this country, and the biggest one is ESNS, election systems and software.
If I ask you who owns election systems and software, if I ask anyone, they really don't know.
And I've researched it enough to tell you it's owned by a private equity company called the McCarthy Group that's based in Omaha, Nebraska.
There's not much more public information available on the McCarthy Group than that.
That's who we're trusting the software to.
This is black box voting.
There are forces that we don't even know about.
And I'm not even saying it has to be the insiders that are doing it.
It could be outside hackers.
It could be almost any intelligence agency in the United States or big corporations can hack in the election machines in Florida.
If you have paper ballots, you think, okay, we're voting on a paper ballot, it's secure.
Those paper ballots are scanned to be tabulated.
The scanning machines have wireless cellular modems on them.
It's not a backdoor, it's a front door for hacking.
It's a joke of a system that we have.
We should be ridiculing it.
It does not deserve any kind of respect.
And so, Tim, not only were you polling at 34% tied with Debbie Wasserman Schultz before the election, how did the votes actually turn out?
Wasn't there a time, didn't you get like 5% in every ethnic category, which seems like an impossibility?
Exactly.
We got 5% among whites, blacks, Hispanics, males, females, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
I'll tell you, leading experts in computational science at some of the nation's top universities analyzed those results.
And you know what their conclusion was?
Mathematically impossible.
It would be like winning the lottery every day for a year.
And still, and nobody picked up the mantle of your, I mean, we covered it here on this show, but that didn't get anything in the front page of the New York Times or the Florida Sentinel or anything like that.
No.
And this is the problem with the mainstream media.
They would rather have talking heads speculate about why an election came out the way it did.
You know, I supposedly got such a low number because it was both a blue wave and a red wave.
That's how they tried to explain it.
Made no sense.
And as far as, you know, it's funny.
They all like to talk that they're pro-science when it comes to climate change.
Yeah.
Well, how about the science of math?
That's right.
Computational science.
That's right.
That's not important, I guess.
It's amazing, Tim.
I mean, anybody who looks at your case for even five seconds can see there was clear election fraud.
They destroyed the ballots to try to cover it up.
The judge said that was illegal and nobody got punished.
Nobody got fined.
Nobody went to jail.
They committed election fraud.
We all know it and nothing's happening.
Why?
Because it's one-party rule.
Because the people who donate to the Secretary of State, who's supposed to enforce the election law, or the governor, are the same people who donate to Debbie Wasserman Schultz's campaign.
Say they want the same thing.
They don't want you in power because you're actually going to hold power accountable.
And so that's why the two parties reveal that they're one party.
And even when there's obvious election fraud and malfeasance, nobody covers it.
Nobody does anything about it, even though a judge said it happened, right?
That's 100% right, Jimmy.
It's 100% right.
The judge granted a summary judgment.
This was Florida's 17th Judicial Circuit, a 10-page decision, which concluded that Brenda Snipes, then the supervisor of elections, had violated state and federal statutes with criminal liability.
It was very clear.
She admitted in videotaped sworn deposition to destroying the ballots.
It was very clear these were criminal violations.
And yet we couldn't get a Republican administration in Tallahassee or the Justice Department when it was run by Jeff Sessions, which is another interesting story.
We had the federal prosecutor here in South Florida.
He was the interim U.S. attorney who was very interested.
We were handing him an open and shut case on a silver platter.
He spoke to my lawyer for a couple of hours.
My lawyer was very enthused.
It looked like a criminal investigation and a prosecution was coming.
And then this acting U.S. attorney went up to Washington, D.C. for a week of meetings at the Justice Department.
The word is the fellow at the Justice Department who killed the prosecution was none other than the deputy attorney general at the time, Rod Rosenstein, same fellow who appointed Bob Mueller to investigate the president.
Okay.
It's a big club.
You ain't in it, Tim, me neither.
Exactly.
What do you make of Donald Trump outlefting the Democrats again?
You know, I grew up in New York, and I remember Trump growing up, and he never struck me as a complete right-wing guy.
There are a lot of ways you could say it.
Some people would say he doesn't have principles.
I don't even want to say that.
I think he was a typical kind of New York liberal for quite a lot of years who then moved towards the right, maybe while the Democrats were moving in other directions.
I don't know.
But I've always thought that the Democrats should have tried to work with him.
And I guess the argument was if they worked with him, they'd be normalizing him.
There's a video clip of Bernie Sanders.
If you Google Bernie Sanders working with Donald Trump, you'll see a CNN interview with Sanders that's only a few minutes long from November 2016, right after Trump got elected.
And Sanders said he was looking forward to working with Trump on points that they have in agreement and they'll oppose, he'll oppose Trump where they disagree.
How many times has Bernie Sanders gone to the White House to work with Donald Trump to convince him of anything?
Zero.
You know, it doesn't surprise me that Trump Might be flexible on certain things.
Look, he was against the TPP.
He kept that promise and got us out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
I've been a law professor for 20 years calling for a rebalancing of our trade agreements.
He's been rebalancing our trade agreements with China, Mexico, Canada, Japan, and other countries.
I've been riding against the Federal Reserve.
He's been beating up on the Fed.
I don't like his manner of speaking.
Nobody does.
But, you know, it's funny.
Do you judge somebody by their words or their actions?
You know, Donald Trump got a lot of grief.
He was allegedly said that the coronavirus was a hoax.
Well, he actually said the hype that the Democrats were making of it was a hoax.
Now, those are words.
Look at the Democrats by their actions.
They held primaries yesterday.
Is the coronavirus a hoax?
Is it real?
Is it not?
Well, I mean, I know the Democrats are saying it's the end of the world, but their actions speak otherwise.
I don't know what to believe from the Democrats anymore.
So now you have Donald Trump who seems to be moving towards what?
Universal basic income of $1,000 a month.
He's pushed the Federal Reserve to get interest rates down to near zero.
He just came out with an executive order today with a moratorium on HUD foreclosures, the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
But he's just, but Tim, he's just piggybacking at what Barack Obama did in the big economic meltdown, right?
Didn't Barack Obama did that?
Protected people's mortgages and their houses and then gave them a UBI.
Isn't that what?
Oh, no, he didn't do any of that shit.
He didn't do any of that.
Isn't that amazing?
And people were ready for it, Tim.
People were fucking ready for it.
They were ready for big changes that are happening right now.
People were ready for it then, and Barack Obama didn't do it.
Guess who's doing it?
Trump.
Trump, absolutely.
And you know, why didn't Obama do it?
We saw, what did WikiLeaks reveal?
That Obama had that memo from Citigroup.
Citigroup picked his cabinet, basically.
You know, Tim Geithner in the cabinet and Lawrence Summers.
You know, it was a trickle-down approach to a crisis.
They took care of Wall Street.
They didn't take care of Main Street.
And then they wonder why both Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump were the two most popular politicians running for president in 2016.
It's weird to see Donald Trump be more of a socialist than the Democrats.
And more of a peacenet.
Right?
You're correct.
Yeah, I know he has a big military budget, but he certainly seems to be trying to get us out of Syria and Afghanistan.
Hey, so listen.
All right, Tim.
Is he self-quarantined?
Are you quarantining yourself, Tim?
I am.
I got to say, it's not that tough here in South Florida.
I'm near the ocean, near the beach.
They have closed down the beach, but I'm able to bicycle and rollerblade and run.
I'm working at home.
It doesn't seem like a huge crisis, at least in my own little universe.
But, you know, I worry about others, loved ones who are a bit older, like we all do.
Okay, yes.
Especially people have to quarantine by themselves.
Well, I'm quarantined by myself with a couple of stray cats.
Okay.
All right, Tim Canova.
Thank you very much for stopping by and educating us.
I appreciate it.
Thank you, Jimmy.
Appreciate it.
Hello.
Look, Joe Biden is a friend of mine.
I like Joe Biden.
I respect Joe Biden.
Oh, my God.
Oh, what's going on now?
What's happening?
Bernie, the debate.
When Biden lied about, you know, not having a way to pay for Medicare for all, you could have gone in for the kill.
Why didn't you?
All right.
Two words, Jimmy.
Calm passion.
That's not two words.
Not the way I say it.
Listen very carefully.
Listen very carefully.
Calm passion.
Put the two together and what do you get?
That's right.
Compassion.
Compassion for Joe Biden when he lies about your platform.
Yes.
No, I don't know.
I don't.
I was afraid.
They went to a commercial before I had a chance to respond.
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
You happy?
We just wish you had scored a decisive blow by showing up Biden as a shameless liar.
He is about Medicare for all.
Jimmy, Jimmy, listen, I'll be the first one to admit that sometimes I'm not the best debater.
But the proof is out there on Biden for anyone to see.
Why do you look at the YouTube?
Why do you keep calling it the YouTube?
Because it, you know, pisses people off.
Considering the danger of spreading the coronavirus even further, don't you think that we should suspend the election except for mail-in ballots?
I think that should be a serious consideration, yes.
But my opponent, who is a friend of mine, whom I respect, he supports voting by messenger pigeon.
Yeah.
Messenger pigeon.
Look it up, boomer.
