Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy Sam Pacino.
Oh, hi, Al.
How are you?
I'm fantastic.
Hey!
What?
Your phone isn't tapped, is it?
No, I don't think so, but, you know, who knows, actually.
Is that cocksucker Mo Green listening in?
No, Al, I'm pretty sure he's not.
Also, Mo Green is a fictional character, not a real person.
He's real to me.
Hi, Steph.
Why are you calling today?
Jimmy, I'm confused about politics again.
Oh, no.
Well, what's your question, buddy?
All right, Jimmy.
Can I go outside now?
You mean because of the coronavirus?
Well, you could always go outside, Al.
You were supposed to avoid public places.
Oh, well, now you tell me.
My apartment stinks.
Uh-huh.
But I see all these kids running around downtown.
Huge crowds.
Everybody's screaming at each other.
Al, those are Black Lives Matter protesters.
They're protesting Black Lives Matter.
What a bunch of fucking animals.
No, no, no, no, Al.
They are saying that Black Lives, in fact, do matter and that cops are pigs.
Tell me about it.
I received.
Yeah.
So the coast is clear.
They got rid of the virus.
No, no, no.
It's actually getting worse.
Oh, come on.
No, it is.
Sorry.
Come on.
I want to go to Sal's.
I don't know what Sal's is, but you should probably still shelter in place, Al, given your age and the curve and all that.
The only curve I want to flatten is the top bun of one of Sal's pastrami combos.
That also matters.
Yeah, Al, I think breaking quarantine to fight for social justice is a more important reason than you breaking it for your favorite sandwich.
I don't understand.
Hi, Steph!
Al, the point is...
What the hell were we talking about?
We were talking about the delicate balance between the importance of Look, Al, please, just stay home.
We're not out of this yet.
I still don't understand politics.
This isn't politics, Al.
This is public health.
I didn't vote for this virus.
I know.
No one did.
Just stay home, okay?
Just stay home.
Okay, I will.
Good.
One question.
Yes.
Does favor deliver glade plug-ins?
Who is favor?
The app.
Oh, I don't know that app.
They deliver shit to you.
Oh, I thought that I got DoorDash.
I got StubHub.
No, no, that's something else.
Grubhub.
I got DoorDash.
I got Instacart, but I don't have Favor.
Did you know there were so many options?
Hi, Steph.
Establishment media sets of August lighting.
Good luck.
Bullshit.
We can't afford my fomenting this.
Watch and see as the jack off the median speeds and jumps the medium and hits them head on.
It's the Jimmy Tore Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
This just in.
The Buffalo cops charged with assaulting a 75-year-old protester are now saying they felt their lives were threatened by his Medicare Part B coverage.
Come on.
And I don't know if you saw the Congressional Democrats taking the knee for eight minutes.
And I got to tell you, I can't believe it took our politicians this long to pretend to care about racism.
Did you hear the CEO of CrossFit?
You know, that CrossFit, was forced to resign after he said his company was, quote, not mourning for George Floyd.
It's not certain where he goes from here, but he did promise to stay in shape digging holes for himself.
Come on.
Did you see that Joe Biden is finally leading Trump in the polls?
And to think all it took was 400 years of racism, a tanked economy, the death of over 100,000 Americans.
All Democrats need now to take Texas is an asteroid.
Yeah.
Hey, what's coming up on this week's show?
Special guest Jesse Ventura weighs in on whether he's going to run for the Green Party nomination and what's wrong with Minnesota and the country.
Hey, what percentage of Americans support the George Floyd protests?
The answer just may surprise you, or will it?
That's coming up.
Buffalo cops cracked the skull of a 75-year-old protester on the concrete.
And of course, Trump tweets that the cops were being manipulated by the victim.
Plus, New York City Police Union cop goes on an unhinged tirade about how professional and calm cops are.
Plus, we got phone calls today from Al Pacino, Chuck Schumer, Mitt Romney, and Joe Biden, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door show.
74% of Americans support George Floyd protests.
Majority disapprove of Trump's handling, Poll says.
69% of the over 1,000 Americans polled say Floyd's killing indicates a larger issue with law enforcement.
Is that Antifa, all those people, 69%?
Did George Soros pay them?
So when the pollster called them up, they would get a payment when they got randomly called?
You see, it indicates a larger issue with law enforcement, which is an increase of over 43% of Americans who in 2014 agreed with the sentiment amid protests against the killing of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Missouri.
So in 2014, 43% of Americans thought that that killing was a large, indicated A larger issue with policing in America.
That was during the Ferguson.
43% of the people said that those protests and that killing was an indication of a larger issue with law.
Now, 69% of the people say that.
Is that a 26% increase?
So a quarter more Americans are now on the side of there's a problem with America, with cops in America, to the point where it's almost seven out of 10 people in America think that there's a larger issue with law enforcement in general.
You know why?
Because there is.
You know why?
Because they're trained by the fucking Israelis to be out of their mind maniacs.
And because when you hear cops say, my number one job is to make sure I get home safe at night, that's why they're horrible cops, because that's why they're willing to brutalize you because they have now deemed your life less important than theirs.
Their job is supposed to make sure I get home safe at night.
That's why they're given a firearm, a monopoly on violence, and they're given qualified immunity.
So they're supposed to put themselves between harm and me.
They're supposed to sacrifice their life.
If their number one job is that they're supposed to come home at night, because that's how they're fucking trained now, they're not, that's antithetical to what a cop is supposed to do.
A cop is not supposed to be out there with a trigger, an itchy trigger finger.
The most easily rattled guy on the street because he sees he's got to make sure he stays safe.
He's supposed to be putting himself in harm's way to make sure you stay safe.
Okay.
So, and that's, and the, and the problem with, and the people go, oh, not all cops are bad.
Show me a cop who ratted out the other cops for being corrupt crooks.
Show me that cop.
They don't exist.
And if they exist, they get killed.
I know a cop.
He was in the, he was in the academy, and there was a bunch of racist cops in the academy.
There was like a group of them.
And so they filled out these questionnaire or these like assessments of the thing that were supposed to be anonymous.
He outed these guys.
Hey, they got all these races.
The commander read his assessment, outed him, and said who he was.
That was a message.
You keep doing, do you see what happens to you when you out people?
That's who cops are.
Cops protect racists.
Cops protect white supremacists.
Cop protects the craziest criminal you ever met because they're on the police force and they protect them.
Look what they did in Buffalo.
The entire riot squad from the Buffalo Police Department applauded those two cops who knocked over a 75-year-old guy, cracked his head open, who was not a threat.
That activist guy, he's been arrested like 300 times.
They know he's an activist.
They probably knew who he was.
They know he's not a threat.
And so the policing in America, they're trained to be this way.
And if you're not this way, they weed you out.
You get weeded out.
Just like that guy got weeded out of the academy when he outed those guys for being racist cops.
They weed you out if you're a good cop.
There are no good cops.
Show me the last cop who outed his friends for being criminals.
Doesn't happen.
Why?
Because they'll get killed.
Go watch the movie Serpico or read Serpico's article from 2016 in Politico.
Or watch the interview I did with a retired police sergeant from Baltimore Police and a former soldier, Michael Woods.
There's three videos up on this channel.
Go in, put Michael Woods, Jimmy Doerr, watch those videos.
It explains the problem.
It's not good cops, bad cops.
It is a depraved culture that protects criminality and brutality.
Support for the Floyd protests is along party lines.
87% of Democrats are pro Floyd protests.
76% of Independents.
So almost eight out of 10 of Independents are pro the protests.
And notably, you ready for this?
A majority of Republicans are for it.
So that's when a radical idea like defunding the police, when a radical idea gets to become a reform is when the majority of people accept it.
That's when it stops being a radical idea and starts becoming a reform.
I don't know if you saw that NASCAR just banned the Confederate flag.
That used to be a radical idea.
That was a radical.
You were radical on the fringe of society.
You wanted to get rid of the Confederate flag.
Now, since the establishment, which is NASCAR Billion Dollar Corporation, wants to ban it, now it's just seen as a reform.
And Chomsky explained this, that a radical idea doesn't become a reform until the establishment accepts it.
So that's when you see Mitt Romney out marching with Black Lives Matter, that people go, oh, he's co-opting them.
There's that happening, but that also means that the establishment recognizes a need for the reform.
So it's now gone from being radical.
Black Lives Matter used to be fucking radical.
Now it's becoming mainstream.
And that's what this is proving to the majority of Republicans, not independents and Democrats, Republicans.
President Trump's handling of the protests was met with 61% of respondents disapproving.
And a further 50% said that going into November's election, they prefer a president who can address the country's racial divide.
Really?
Overall, the poll found that a 26% shift from 2014 in favor of the perception that the police killings indicate larger problems.
I had already done that math in my head, by the way.
I'd already done the math and told you that.
It's a 26% rise.
Right?
So from 43 to 69, 26% rise.
26% shift from 2014 in favor of the perception that police killings indicate larger problems with the biggest gains among whites by 33 points and white women, your Karens, if you will, at 38 points.
The poll result comes after a sweeping police reform bill introduced Monday on Capitol Hill that would ban chokeholds and create an easier path to prosecute police misconduct along with the training program of racial bias and a focus on de-escalation tactics among other measures.
Because right now, cops are trained to escalate.
I know you think they're trained to de-escalate.
They are not.
I know they say they're training them to do that.
They do not.
They are trained to.
That's why cops never de-escalate.
That's why they always go one step further.
They raise their voice.
They shout a command.
If you don't follow it, they tase you or they hit you.
That's not de-escalating.
This is the NYPD police union chief.
What a fucking snowflake this guy is.
First of all, so he goes out and he's upset that people haven't given them, they haven't created a safe space for them.
People are calling the cops names.
But somebody, I'm going to show you the funny video first, and then I'll show you his video.
But here's the funny video first.
Ready?
Everybody's trying to shame us.
The legislators.
The press.
Oh, my God.
Jesus.
Everybody's trying to shame us.
Into being a matter of damn.
Well, you know what?
This isn't stained.
It's still got a shine on it.
Stop treating us like animals and thugs.
Start treating us with some respect.
Uncle Ron!
It's disgusting.
Trying to make us embarrassed about profession.
Don't resist.
Don't resist, bro.
I'm not.
And that's all I have to say.
What a coward.
What a fucking snowflake little bitch that guy is.
What a fucking pussy.
Of course he's a bully coward.
Of course, two types of people become cops: bullies and people who were bullied.
Look at all the white faces around him.
Not a black guy in sight.
These are the assholes who did stop and frisk.
These are the assholes who did stop and frisk.
What a fucking snowflake this guy is.
Stop treating us like animals and thugs.
You know, the way we treat protesters and black people.
Do you ever learn that you're supposed to treat people the way you want them to treat you, you fucking moron?
You mouth-breathing, fucking knuckle-dragging, brutal maniac?
You criminal defender?
Because that's what that guy is.
I'm sure his parents are proud.
Turn him to be a fucking mouth-breathing, brutal maniac.
Defending the fucking dregs of society.
People terrorizing their own city.
He's out there defending them.
This guy's the fucking Taliban.
This is what this is like if Eric Cartman became a cop.
Yes.
That's what this is.
You won't respect my authorites.
Treat me with respect.
What a fucking pussy this guy is.
Here, here's the full speech.
You're right here.
Here's the full speech.
Good afternoon.
375 million interactions with the public every year.
375 million interactions.
Oh, that's the excuse.
Overwhelmingly positive responses.
No.
Yes.
Overwhelmingly positive responses.
That's what's happening right now.
Every city's on fire just for kicks.
Yeah.
Because they just, they're just, they're reading the papers.
That's the problem.
People are just jerks.
Cops are the good people.
People are jerks.
We all read in the papers that in the black community, mothers are worried about their children getting home from school without being killed by a cop.
What world are we living in?
The world you created, mouth-breathing fucking maniac.
What world are we living in?
The world you created.
Out-of-control terrorists like you, you fucking like you, because I want to show them.
This is what you did.
This is what you did, you fucking lying criminal.
This is what you did.
Here's what you did with stop and frisk.
From between 2004 and 2012, 10% of the white people got stopped and frisked.
Everyone else.
8% other, 10% white.
Everybody else, black or Hispanic.
You terrorize their neighborhoods, you fucking maniac.
You piece of shit.
Snowflake.
You terrorize those fucking black kids.
That's why they say that.
Because you're a terrorist, you fucking coward cop.
If you had any balls, you'd be protecting those people, the most vulnerable in our society, the poorest people, the most put upon by society.
Those are the people you'd be actually trying to help and protect.
But you're such a coward, bully, criminal, fucking brutal maniac cop, which is what you are.
And you're probably on steroids.
What you're fucking doing is protecting criminal abusers because you're a criminal abuser.
And you're a fucking maniac.
And that's why people want to defund your whole fucking profession because you guys are such mania.
You're like the Taliban.
You're like ISIS occupying our fucking cities.
Get the fuck out.
Go beat your wives more because that's what cops do.
Oh, by the way, the profession with the most wives beaters?
Cops, of course.
How about how he goes like this, Jimmy?
He goes, and then I read in the newspaper that black moms are afraid of their kids walking home from school and being brutalized by the cops.
Well, first, Jimmy, isn't it interesting that he reads a newspaper?
It's interesting.
Did you ever read the story about Eric Garner in that fucking newspaper?
Did you ever read that story?
You ever read the story about those two cops driving over crowds of people in Manhattan?
You ever read that story?
You fucking.
You ever read the story about that cop who just pushed that woman down for no reason, cracked her head on the concrete, and she got into seizures, and none of the other cops did that.
You ever read that story in the newspaper?
You fucking lying maniac.
You don't read the newspaper.
I doubt that guy can read.
Breathe through your nose.
It helps when you read.
When you read, breathe through your nose.
Well, it's also, I just wanted to highlight how it also shows how disconnected from a community he is.
Yes.
That he doesn't.
This is crazy.
Right?
It's written in the paper.
The people that you're policing are afraid of you and you think they're fucking crazy, then you're disqualified from doing that job.
That disqualifies you from doing that job.
Like, he doesn't even realize what a mania.
But this is the, do you see the hubris involved?
The entitlement, the Karenism of this fucking cop.
You see the entitlement he has?
How dare people criticize us?
So let's hear the rest of it.
They are not him.
He killed someone.
We didn't.
We are restricted.
Yes, you did.
You killed lots of people.
Yes, they're talking about he's trying to say that guy in Minneapolis.
Somebody else.
Yeah, someone else.
And you know what?
I'm saying this to all the cops here.
Because you know what?
Everybody's trying to shame us.
The legislators.
The press.
Everybody's trying to shame us into being embarrassed about.
So being an authoritarian, brutal maniac cop isn't enough for this guy.
He's also got to tone police.
Now he's tone policing such a fucking snowflake.
Do you see the biggest pussies in the world are cops?
Do you see this?
Do you see what fucking utter pussies they are?
Cowards, bullies, two types of cops, bullies and people who were bullied.
There you go.
This is a bully.
He's got a nice bare gut and contempt for you.
Profession.
Well, you know what?
This isn't stained.
He's someone in Minneapolis.
It's still got a shine on it.
And so do this.
So do this.
He looks like he's a fucking mania.
He looks like he.
And I'll bite your fucking head off if you say we're brutal.
I'll fucking kick your ass.
Say we're brutal.
Go ahead.
Say it.
You know that's what he wants to say.
Well, you know, yes.
And then also when he's saying you're trying to shame us.
And I was waiting.
I was waiting for this.
And we won't be.
We won't be shamed.
We're not ashamed of our badges or the brutality of our colleagues.
And, you know, is this the guy that is demonstrating how to comport himself in public?
Police restraint.
He's showing you how restrained cops are.
Sorry, go ahead.
By the way, he's only escalating.
That's right.
He's acting like fucking me.
He's showing you how common cool the training is for cop.
He can't keep control of himself at a press conference.
Stop treating us like animals and thugs.
Let's start.
You are.
We're tired of being marginalized.
We're tired of being marginalized, even though nobody with power wants to hold us accountable for anything.
Us with some respect.
That's what we're here today to say.
I need respect.
I want you to respect us.
Shut up, you big fucking pussy.
Is he the godfather's brother?
No kidding.
I want a little respect.
I want respect.
That's right.
I'm smart.
Not like everybody says, like, dumb and brutal.
But smart.
And I want respect.
It's not how the people want it.
But that's how I want it.
And I'm a cop.
What a fucking crying baby.
This is your representative.
He's the leader.
He's the leader like a bitch.
Like a crying little fucking bitch.
This is your leader.
What a fucking disgrace.
Now you know why cops are fucking worthless?
Now you know why they're all out of control?
Because they got fucking maniacs like this as their leader.
Breathe through your nose when you read about the cops.
That's my advice to him.
We've been left out of the conversation.
We've been left out.
All we've been doing is beating the fuck out of everybody at every turn.
Yeah, I know that you guys don't talk.
Vilified?
Vilified?
Marginalized.
It's disgusting.
Disgusting.
It's disgusting.
Disgusting.
Got their behavior.
Anybody want to fuck quite a fucking truck?
Do you see how he's standing?
I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to fuck you up right now.
You see how he's standing?
This is the guy who's supposed to be the face of the police department.
He's an unhinged fucking lunatic who is untethered from reality.
Black kids are afraid of cops.
What world are we living?
Do you see?
And he's ready to fight you.
That's how cops stand when that's how a guy stands when he's trying to fucking start a fight.
He's not de-escalating.
He's escalating.
At a press conference, he's escalating.
Fucking morons.
Paris of our profession.
375 million interactions.
Overwhelmingly, overwhelmingly positive.
Cops are not angry.
I'm telling you.
Everyone likes us.
Very pleasant interactions.
You don't think you had a pleasant interaction?
You didn't fucking have one?
This guy.
Well, I'm going to fucking tell you.
Why don't we go to lunch?
And then we can have a pleasant interaction.
Fucking maniac.
Nobody talks about all the police officers that were killed in the last weeks in the United States of America.
Shut the fuck up.
Oh, now you're going to talk.
So now, so I thought before the other cops didn't have anything to do with New York City.
Now every they do.
Huh.
Interesting.
And nobody talks about it.
The fucking mainstream media, that's all they fucking talk about.
Look at him.
We don't condone Minneapolis.
We roundly reject what he did as disgusting.
Fuck.
Disgusting.
It's not what we do.
Fuck you.
Police officers do.
You fucking lying cock.
Fuck you.
Stick a cock in your mouth.
The press is vilifying us.
The press is vilifying the meanie, meanie press.
The press is reporting.
That's what he's getting wrong.
They're actually reporting.
Look at him standing there like he's ready to fucking fight.
You fucking chubby little chub chub.
Look at him.
You fucking.
Don't you go home and beat your wife more.
Well, you know what, guys?
I'm proud to be a cop.
I'm going to continue to be proud to be a cop until the day I retire.
And that's all I have to say.
Now, if anybody would like to come up here, I'll fucking kick their ass.
Come on.
Who wants some of this?
Who wants some of this fucking pleasant policing?
I'll give it to you.
You want some of this pleasant policing?
I got some more.
I got buckets full.
And all these fucking guys got it for you, too.
You fucking maniacs.
People are vilifying us.
It's ignorant.
It's ignorant.
Wow, Chuck Schumer's on the line.
Hello.
Oh, my dear God, Lord in heaven.
This is earth-shattering.
Have you heard the news, Jimmy?
Have you?
House Democrats just unveiled a sweeping police reform bill.
Wow.
I know, I know.
Tingles are literally tingling down my tingle.
This will change everything.
Oh, so you're going to defund the police and start over?
Even better.
We're going to establish a bipartisan reform committee.
To do what, Chuck?
To pick who gets to be on the reform task force.
The reform task force will then pick what policies to reform.
And then what?
Then they send them back to the reform committee for review when the cycle starts All over again, like a big washing machine.
Everything keeps turning and turning until a buzzer goes off and it's all clean.
That's it.
I left out the part where your cleaning lady folds the laundry and gets taken away by ice.
Yeah, it doesn't sound like you're doing anything, Chuck.
Not doing anything.
I'll have you know we all got down on our knees and wore one of those crazy psychedelic scarves.
Man, it was far out during those eight minutes and 46 seconds.
It fully dawned on me what that poor man had gone through.
So so what about the funding, Chuck?
I appreciate your question, Jimmy.
But the National Fraternal Order of Police is concerned the word defunding will be used as a distraction to divert attention from what?
Doing absolutely nothing.
Yes.
Want results?
Use pepsed.
It gets the yellow out.
So the Democratic leadership won't push to defund.
Look, I think the intent behind defunding is something that I support, but I can't officially support it.
Well, then what good are you?
Don't blame me, Jimmy.
I got that from the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.
And she's the head of all black people, from what I've heard.
That word is very confusing, defund.
What exactly does it mean, anyway?
Well, it could mean diverting billions of police dollars into social programs and tearing down the police system to start over again with something better.
Oh, my lord.
I mean, OML.
You can't defund the cops.
They'll have nothing to do.
Who are they supposed to beat up?
Their families?
No, I say do not tear down the system just because they keep killing people at such an alarming rate they can't even keep an accurate database of it.
But the bill doesn't shrink the budget at all.
Don't be silly.
Shrinking the budget won't stop cops from killing people.
Cops need to have the proper equipment to stop killing people.
And that, my friend, takes half of your discretionary budget.
I don't think this is going to satisfy a lot of people.
You're crazy.
Next, you'll be telling us to pass an anti-lynching bill.
Take a knee and calm down, why don't you?
Land sakes, pardon my French.
Like Nancy says, this is just the first step.
First step, first step to what?
Completely caving.
Oh, my.
Am I supposed to put my American flag lapel pin on my tenti cloth now?

Hey, Joe Biden's calling me.
Hello?
Hello?
And yes, that is a good sandwich.
Oh, Vice President Biden, you must be pretty confident.
You're leading Trump in all the polls.
All right, cut the hoo.
I don't care whether you're Polish or black or whatever.
I just need your vote.
And that's all that matters, kid.
I hear you.
I feel you.
I know your pain, Blaine.
I'm the feelings guy.
Stir me up.
Stir me up.
I never stop.
You feel our pain?
Then you must want to defund the police.
Okay, that's crazy.
Then you must, if you feel our pain, you must want to forgive all student college debt and make college free.
No way, Jose.
How about Green New Deal?
Stop our wars.
Outlaw fracking.
What are you on, son?
Medicare for all.
You should vote for Trump then, fat.
See?
So nothing's fundamentally changed with you since the coronavirus and George Floyd.
I always promised nothing would fundamentally change, right?
I'm keeping my campaign pledge to you even before I'm elected.
What does defund the police mean to you, Joe?
Let me tell you a story about my hometown.
Uh-huh.
There was this guy.
A guy by the name of Paul Bunyan.
Big fella.
Stood 10 feet tall and weighed 400 pounds.
Hated sandwiches.
Ain't nothing but red beans and ham.
But man, could he chop those trees down?
You understand?
What are people supposed to do with our current justice system, Joe?
You gotta build on it.
Come on.
It's just like Obamacare.
Don't tear it all down just because a few bad psychopaths get together with a bunch of other psychopaths.
I get you.
No one feels your pain more than I do.
I was once killed by a cop, but I got over it.
If we all come together as a nation, I believe we can get through this like I did with the help of pills and intense therapy.
I think people may have finally reached a tipping point, actually.
I understand that.
I get it.
The death of Harold Lloyd is a tragedy.
It's the murder of George Floyd.
Come on, man.
Harold Lloyd wasn't murdered.
Look at his career.
Those films he did, taking so many chances.
Jumping onto moving trains.
Climbing buildings.
Getting trapped on that big clock.
We can't blame all cops for that.
It's just, you know, clack, clack, woo-woo.
Pfft.
Oh, man.
Ha!
What's your solution, Joe?
Do not defondle the police.
And I'll tell you why.
Here's the thing.
Firstly, anyone who wants to hurt our cops like that isn't a real black.
Period.
End of story, case closed.
Secondly, why don't you just go vote for Trump?
Where's my damn sandwich?
How confident are you of your chances in November, Joe?
Very confident.
Condy Rice and I are going to capture the imagination of all Americans and take back the soul of this country.
I'm just glad that terror Reed Falderall is behind us so I can concentrate on any more sandwiches.
And I'm not getting dementia.
I've always been this way.
I gotta go now.
They're serving Jello.
Who the fuck took all the yellow?
Yellow.
I like how he says yellow.
We have a very special guest with us today.
Actor, retired professional wrestler, author, political commentator for RT, former governor, former mayor.
He's also a naval veteran and former mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.
Please welcome to the show.
Jesse Ventura is here.
Hey, Jesse, how are you?
Good, Jimmy.
How are you?
Yeah, the resume gets pretty long.
What it tells you is this, I can only hold a job for about four years.
Fantastic.
I don't know if I would ever be able to hold a job, an actual job, but it's great to have you.
How come politics worked out so well?
You usually get a four-year term, and that's just about I was four years as mayor, and then I moved on, and then I was one term, four years as governor, and I moved on.
And I like to refer to myself as a statesman rather than a politician in the fact that I didn't make it a career.
I get elected, and then when I'm done, I go back to the private sector again.
And in fact, between being mayor and governor, who's almost seven or eight years between the two.
And do you feel like the same conditions that led you to run third party and beat the Democrats and Republicans before?
Do you think that is that stirring inside of you again?
You think the conditions are ripe?
Oh, the conditions are right.
Just the problem is there's no way to do it because, you know, it's, I don't know, maybe I can tie it into the Black Lives Movement for a moment and make the stretch to that.
You want to see prejudice and you want to see unfairness.
Take a look at how third parties are treated in our country in comparison to the two major parties because the two major parties get to make all the rules and all the decisions.
And so those decisions are always made to benefit them and to always suppress any type of third party movement without a doubt.
I thought about running this year and I inquired in.
I thought my best way in was the Green Party.
But unfortunately, they couldn't give me a clear path to the nomination, even though I don't know if you heard there was a poll done by one of the major poll companies and it was played on Fox News listing Biden, Trump, and me.
And without even being a candidate, I polled 18%.
Yeah, people are ready for someone like you.
People are, you know, we're being offered Trump Light and Trump.
That's what's happening.
Again, it's plain to see.
It's laid bare the one-party rule.
In fact, how they handled this COVID is also, you know, the stimulus bills, the CARES Act, it completely reveals that it's one-party rule.
As Nancy Pelosi is ripping up Donald Trump's State of the Union speech, she's passing his entire legislative agenda, including money for his border wall and an extra $131 billion to go bomb people.
Oh, yeah, no, you're absolutely correct.
And, you know, it was unfortunate my situation because, you know, I had people were questioning whether I belonged with the Green Party.
And, you know, that's what went on underneath the thing.
And I thought, what do you mean belong?
I said, I'm anti-war, and I'm for the environment and everything that'll save it.
Isn't that good enough?
You know, those two major issues and all the rest of them in my book are fairly irrelevant because to me, those are the two major issues.
And that was one of the reasons I shied away from the libertarians because they don't believe in climate change.
And I think that's a very, I mean, how can you not believe in it?
It's happening right before your very eyes.
Right.
I mean, you know, I just wanted to make sure that I'm hearing stories that you were told bad information about your path to the nomination inside the Green Party.
And when the party was contacted by individuals interested.
This is from an email I was sent by someone interested in helping Jesse explore the nomination process.
Party and ciders conspired to stack the PCSC and other committees against any nominee but their chosen one.
Jesse pointed out on Galloway's show that the Greens he was working with couldn't give him a pathway to the nomination.
But we have reason to believe because of the above that the governor has been misled.
So have you are you what do you do you have anything to say to response to that?
Well, if it's indeed there is a clear path, I'll take it a step further.
Right now I'm in the midst of a medical in my family.
And if I would have announced my candidacy, Jimmy, I would have immediately lost my job and I would have immediately lost my health care.
And I think that, you know, in today's day and age, if I would have did that, many people would have questioned my sanity, including myself.
Yes.
Yeah.
You know, in today's day and age, you're going to give up your job and give up your health care when, you know, a quarter or a third of our country has neither a job or health care.
And I thought that's crazy.
And so I do have this that we're going through right now.
And this in and of itself could take me out of it if it comes out negative.
If it comes out positive, I told them that in the end of June, if in July they want to call me and say, you got, we will give you our nomination.
Well, that slight door could still be open, then I guess, if they felt the desire to do that.
But what I've heard is that Howie Hawkins, their major candidate, he has the major, I would have been required to go to the convention.
Let me explain this.
Go to the convention and wait until if no one made 51%, then it would free up the delegates and I'd win on the second round.
Well, that all seems nice, but I'm old enough.
I was in the Reform Party.
When after Perot ran in 92, we were going to show the world we were still growing, that we were not just Ross Perot, but we were a legitimate third-party movement.
We got three-time Governor Dick Lamb of Colorado to be our candidate in 96.
In the 11th hour, the Perot people came in, cut his legs out from underneath him, and Perot ran again.
So I know, and everybody I talked to that I trust in the political arena told me the only red flag they had was the Green Party's nominating convention.
Okay, so, well, I just think we, you know, don't close the door.
I'm hearing opposite information from people inside the Green Party saying that you weren't given the straight-up.
Well, and then that brings up another thing, Jimmy.
Why is the Green Party fractured?
Right.
I don't have time to bring a party together.
I know what it's like to take on the Dems and Repubs, and you sure as hell can't do it with a fractured party, you know, and then I'm required to mend the party first and then take on the Dems and Repubs.
Right.
I hear you.
I mean, you know, when I was in the Mongols, my name was Superman, but I don't know if I qualify anymore.
Okay.
Well, anyway, you know, the people are so desperate for a genuine article, Jesse.
You can understand that, right?
Oh, totally.
Hey, here's the other deal that people need to know, Jimmy.
We got to elect a third-party president, and here's why.
If Trump or Biden, either one gets elected, the polarization continues.
Yes.
Worse than ever.
I've got Minnesota.
I can tell you exactly what will happen.
If you elect a third-party president, it'll work out like it did in Minnesota.
If the two houses are split, like I had a Republican House and a Democratic Senate, whoever I sided with generally prevailed until the third into the fourth year that's when they jump in bed together and they turn against you and it's the dems and the ripubs in my case against the common sense middle governor And so they,
and what happened in Minnesota, I put forward the budget, which is my job, fiscally responsible.
They rejected it.
They came back with their own budget.
It was fiscally irresponsible.
I vetoed it.
They overrode my veto and sent it again.
I vetoed it.
The only thing I could do a second time.
They overrode me again.
So they took ownership.
Well, they did it to get me.
And I fooled them.
I didn't run.
And they were left with their own budget.
A year later, a year later, they're $5 billion in deficit because of this fiscally irresponsible budget that they were willing to gamble the people of Minnesota in which to get me.
So talk about it.
That's how it works.
People need to know that's the way it works between these two parties and a third party.
They always make their decision to strengthen their it.
Here's the list.
It's party first, then it's big-time money donors second.
It's your own personal feelings third, and we, the people, might be fourth, but we could, there could be something that would even make us fifth.
And so do you feel that I've come to the realization that Bernie Sanders was, in fact, there to make sure that didn't happen, that a third party didn't rise up.
And that's why he was put in a leadership position in the Democratic Party and is still maintaining his position on the ballots as we go forward.
Again, to try to squelch any kind of a third party.
What do you say to that?
Oh, I would tend to agree with you on that because I'll tell you my personal thing with what happened with Bernie back in 2016.
2016, you know, before it ended up Trump and Hillary, Bernie came to Minneapolis and I actually went down there with the intention that I would break from my norm and endorse him.
And they treated me completely coldly.
They didn't want nothing to do with me when I went down there as former Minnesota governor independent.
Then when I did get to meet with Bernie in a hallway for about a minute and a half, but I learned what I needed to learn, Jimmy.
I asked him, I said, Senator, if you lose the nomination to Secretary Clinton, will you make a third party run or will you support a third party candidate in any way?
He looked right at me and said, absolutely not.
I will support Secretary Clinton.
I said, looked at him and said, thank you, and I turned around and walked away.
And I knew right there, Bernie Sanders is not a real independent.
Bernie Sanders is merely a front person who calls himself an independent, but is truly part of the Democratic Party and system because and whatever they do with him, I'm not privy to.
But I fully believe that all the way because after he met with me and, you know, I'm independent all the way.
And he just turned, you know, he wouldn't give me the time of day.
Certainly didn't want an endorsement in any way, shape, or form from me.
I know.
I know, Jesse, there's one story after another just like that.
It's just amazing.
They have the Bernie Sanders and his campaign and the people around him have the amazing ability to turn ardent supporters into enemies.
It's unbelievable that the talent that they have for the penchant that they have to be able to do that.
And it doesn't stop.
It keeps going.
He's getting most of his own delegates right now are turning against him.
His own delegates.
Well, they all, the slang term for them are called burners.
Right.
And I was told burners would have jumped with me in a second because they said they wanted a candidate with a spine.
Right.
That's exactly true.
That's exactly true.
I do put it this way, and you can tell them I do have the spine, but I just can't make the commitment at this time until this health thing is settled in my family.
And, you know, because I don't care what, you know, I've did 14 years of public service, but I'm going to tell people honestly, my family comes first.
You know, I'm not going to jeopardize them in any way, shape, or form just to hold public office.
I hear you.
So let's move on to the current, what's happening right now, the protests in the street starting.
Sure.
It's starting in Minneapolis.
You are the governor.
You are the mayor.
So tell me, what's your take on all this?
Jimmy, it's worse than that.
It's my neighborhood.
I grew up there, right where it all happened.
That's the border between South High School and Roosevelt High School.
Back in the days before they had open enrollment, when where you lived, you went to school.
Lake Street would be considered 30th Street.
I lived on 32nd Street.
If you lived south of 32nd Street, you went to Roosevelt.
If you lived north of it, you went to South.
So that's my neighborhood.
My mom used to do the shopping right there in the High Lake Shopping Center, which is burned to the ground now.
So that's how close it is to me.
Now, having said that, you know, it's a tragic situation we're in, but it's the truth.
And we're finally being made, hopefully, to look at the truth.
Now, I'm going to take a little different run at this because I'm going to bring in my own pet peeve here.
And I can't believe that nobody's raising it.
Okay, let's move on to last week, if we may, when the National Football League and Roger Goodell made their apology.
Yeah.
Right?
Okay, that was all wonderful and fine, but in my opinion, there should have been a direct apology to Cullen Kaepernick in that.
Correct, I agree.
And having missed on that already, I can understand why.
And here's the problem I have.
70% of the National Football League are African Americans.
And yet, they're protesting about racism, and they have the name of a team in Washington.
I've been protesting against that name for decades now.
I march with the Native Americans in Minnesota whenever that team comes to town.
You know the team I'm talking about.
The Washington.
And I don't like saying the name because to me it's as bad as the N-word.
And yet, you hear not a peep about getting that name changed.
And my counter is, don't red lives matter too?
Because that nickname is not only racist, it honors genocide.
When I was marching with the Native Americans a few years ago, because I've done it multiple times, young kid come up to me and showed me the Winona, Minnesota paper newspaper from 1860-something.
And you know what the headline was?
Governor Ramsey raises the bounty on redskins.
Wow.
In other words, the government paid you, and you could go out and hunt innocent people down, kill them, bring back their, quote, red skins, and you got paid.
He raised it to $200 a skin, which would translate today to be between $4,000 and $5,000 to go out and hunt people and shoot them and kill them like they were varmots or rats.
And that's what that term comes from.
And we have the net, and now the African-American players, they've all said, Adrian Peterson, oh, we're probably all going to take a knee next fall.
Great.
I support that 100%.
I was never against it.
And I'm a veteran.
But the point is, how can you take a knee when you're wearing the helmet of that team from Washington?
And if Goodell and these people want to make an impact immediately, suspend that name right now and get a new one.
I've got a good one for them.
How about the Washington Crooks?
They can name it after all our elected officials out there.
So, Justy, did you, when you were, did you have any issues?
Did you try to tackle any criminal justice reform when you were in power?
Well, the criminal justice reform I did personally, I gave me, the Secretary of State and the Chief Justices of the Minnesota Supreme Court were the pardoning force.
Any kid that came up to me with a marijuana conviction got taken out of their record.
That's another thing.
End the war on drugs.
And that will help tremendously to ending this police problem.
The war on drugs is one of the creations of the police problem you have today.
No doubt.
And it's time to end that.
Didn't we learn from the prohibition of alcohol when they were bashing indoors, machine gunning people on the street back when my mom and dad were alive?
And we didn't learn from that.
Prohibition, you know, and why is it the government's business to tell you what you can or cannot put in your body?
Yeah, I'm with you.
There's no doubt about it, right?
So they passed civil rights legislation, and then they immediately started imprisoning people over a drug war, which was, you know, there's evidence that it was fueled by our own CIA.
It could be.
All of that.
It's fueled by money.
And money buys anything, you know.
And we have an entire system created by the Democrats and Republicans, a system based upon bribery.
You bribe the politicians with campaign donations.
You do that in the private sector.
You go to jail.
It's called bribery.
But in the public sector, it's alive and well.
How do you think you get in the door to be heard?
You want to hear something, Jimmy?
Yeah.
You know when I ran for governor of Minnesota, do you know how much money I raised?
No. 300 grand.
That's nothing.
How did you win?
I won on ideas and I won because they let me in the debates and I won because Minnesotans are pretty smart people generally.
And they decided that, you know, it's time I was real.
I was in a debate with the big candidates, Humphrey's son and Mayor Coleman, Senator Coleman.
And they asked a question and it got to me and I looked at the crowd and said I didn't know.
There was like a 30-second pause and they erupted in cheering because they finally heard someone say he didn't know everything.
Then I answered a question where they big long question and it required only a yes or no.
I leaned in and said yes.
Again, a huge laughter and applause.
And I turned to the commentator or whatever and I said, well, I answered the question, didn't I?
He had a good sense of humor.
He leaned in and simply said yes.
No, and they also told me when I ran, oh, don't go to college campuses.
They don't vote.
I turned to my people.
I says, book me in every college campus in Minnesota.
I said, you're telling me, Jesse, that Bobby Ventura is going to show up.
They ain't going to show up to hear me.
Every college campus, they were hanging from the rafters.
And later on, after I won, headlines in the Minneapolis paper, Ventura wins.
Sub-headline, throngs of young voters turn out.
So, yeah, so you can understand why people still want you to run.
Well, like I said, if they can, and this would be perfect time.
Jimmy, think of this.
They're going to have, and here's another thing let's clear up about mail-in voting.
How dare them say it's fraudulent?
That's like telling every veteran in America when he's deployed overseas, he's committing a fraudulent vote.
Because how do you think veterans have to vote by mail?
It's called an absentee ballot.
We've been doing it for hundreds of years.
I'm with you on that.
So how do you so there's a push right now for a third party, Nick Brownin, it's called Movement for a People's Party.
And his idea is not to be left, right, or libertarian, but to try to join people from the left and the right because it's not left-right issues anymore.
It's them against us, right?
It's like you see the looting of the treasury with the CARES Act, the fact that they won't give people health care.
Even in the middle of a pandemic, they won't give people health care.
That's not, that's not, or a UBI, and they won't, and the way they're handling this is almost punitive to the workers, right?
The way, you know, right now we have 25% unemployment.
There's 40 million people unemployed.
That's as big as the Great Depression.
And the way Germany's handling it, they have 6% unemployment.
So we could be handling it better.
It's not a secret how to handle this.
They just chose to do it in the most rapacious way possible with the most injury to the working class.
And then, of course, it hurts the minority communities and the black communities even more.
So they become the flashpoint for this kind of crisis.
And so do you, I really don't have much hope, really, honestly, especially for electoral politics or for our government to ever come around because it's laid bare that when we had a crisis, instead of our government coming to our aid and trying to fix it, our government took advantage of it to screw us and take wealth and transfer it upward.
So in the analogy Dylan Radigan made on this show, it's as if the United States is a car and it ran out of gas.
And, you know, it's not left or right to show up and put gas in the car.
But instead what they did was they showed up, took all the wheels off, and then ripped the radio out of the car and left it there without gas.
So we're living with a government that's actually an enemy to us.
What do we do?
Well, here's what you do.
You quit voting for Democrats and Republicans.
I've been harping on that for 20 years.
Second of all, if the car's that bad and it's run out of fuel, then it's time to switch to a Tesla.
And that means change the damn government.
Yeah.
Just like we need to change how we drive around and go electric.
Okay, having said that, you do that by doing it at the local level first.
Do you want to know something major, Jimmy, that could be done?
I don't think they have the power to stop it at the local level.
Why is it that they put the party's name on the ballot?
Right, right, I agree.
Why don't they just put the candidate's name and that forces the public to educate themselves to where they have to go beyond looking if they're conservative or liberal, then all they got to do is look for Democrat or Republican?
Well, if you don't put, if you just put the candidate's name on the ballot, then it's up to the voter to go, oh, what does John Smith stand for?
Right, right.
And besides, the way it is now, I'd rather have a voter in there go in there and do eeny-meeny-miney-moe.
Well, ranked choice than what you got right now.
Ranked choice voting is also a lot of people point to as one of the solutions to what's happening.
And the fact that it is.
So that's got to, you know, they're going to try to keep that out of the way, too, because that is something that can generate a third party.
If you don't like the other party, you could vote for the third party rather than, say, the Democrat or the Republican.
So they'll be very reluctant to allow that to happen, too.
Any roadblock they can put up to stop a third party, they will do it.
Yeah, well, we saw it pass in Maine at a referendum, and the legislator, I mean, both parties took him to court and went all the way, I think, to the Supreme Court.
But they finally sided with the people, and so they do have the ranked choice voting.
And yeah, they're afraid of that.
So anything that goes.
Yeah, very much so.
Very much so.
So, you know, that's what you're facing.
But I'll tell you, to be honest, though, these two candidates are, to me, are the most beatable ones I've seen in a long time.
To where if you had a powerful third-party candidate with name recognition, who had a track record, who could come out of the woodwork and, I think, beat both of these candidates because they got the highest negatives in history of two candidates.
And a third party, if you bring the right message, you know, and to me, like, here's the other thing I'd do, Jimmy, and I know we got to move on here, but here's the other thing I do.
You know that big, huge defense bill?
They just both parties okay?
Yes.
Well, if I got in, I'd accept that completely, that whole big defense bill.
But you know what I'd do with it?
What?
I'd take about, oh, $200 billion of it or whatever I could get out of it, squeeze out of it, and I would use it rather than buying aircraft carriers and rockets and all that other paraphernalia.
Have you seen those machines that clean up the ocean?
Oh, yes, I have.
Yes.
Yeah.
I'd spend $200 billion buying those machines, which then would create jobs because they'd have to produce them like heck.
You know, instead of building tanks, they'd have to produce them.
Right.
And then I would take enough money to train the United States Navy in operating them, and we would then start a new war.
It would be a war to clean the pollution out of our ocean next to our country.
That would be fighting.
I think you'd find a lot of support for stuff like that, for sure.
Well, that's what I'd do with that defense bill.
I'd get the Navy working on fighting that war instead of riding aircraft carriers halfway around the world supporting crap in the Middle East.
So, Jesse, what do you think?
It's a very, you know, what you're talking about sounds like what people are talking about, the police departments.
When they say defund the police, they mean take all the extra money we've been spending or overspending on the police and spend it in our communities.
And what you're saying, instead of spending it on bombing other countries, let's spend it on fixing up the ocean around our country.
So it's kind of like a defund policy, right?
No, it's not defunding anything.
It's just changing the direction of your military.
The military will do what you want them to do or what they're ordered to do.
Right, right.
And they follow orders.
I always laugh because everyone in America is so frightened of socialism.
You just mention the word and people panic.
And I always look at them and go, don't you realize that we spend the majority of our tax dollars on a total major socialist program?
And they always go, what?
What do you mean?
Social security?
I go, no, the United States military.
That's socialism at its best.
And we spend, they get unlimited of our money for their socialism.
And think of this.
It's socialism that's actually now being used to protect your very capitalism.
So don't, you know, they always say, Jesse, and I know you have to go, and I appreciate.
I appreciate your time, really do.
You know, they tell us that soldiers are fighting overseas to protect our freedoms.
And then Trump has the soldiers go out and squelch people exercising their First Amendment rights.
So what are those soldiers actually doing?
Well, first of all, they're not fighting for our freedom.
That was the George Bush myth, where he said that big thing on the buildup to the Iraq war and that lie.
Remember when he said, if we don't fight them there, we're going to fight them here.
Right.
So he got the whole country all fearful.
Here's the bigger picture, Jimmy.
I want to know who they are.
They have us so afraid that someone wants to take over the United States.
Who named that someone?
Who is it?
Is it the Russians?
No.
The Russians got their own problems.
They're not worried about taking us over.
Who would be?
China going to take us over?
Well, maybe they're going to economically wage war on us and beat us that way, maybe.
But are they going to come in and physically occupy America and invade us?
No.
So we have this buildup of military to defend ourselves against this alleged invasion from who?
ISIS?
Are they going to come across the Atlantic and invade in Virginia and we'll have to repel them like Normandy?
I would like to be told who this entity is that the U.S. has to fear, considering the fact of this.
We have enough firepower To blow up the world probably 100 times over if we want to.
If we take a suicidal route, we can destroy the entire planet.
Who would dare push us to that brink?
No one.
So what is the point of these weapons of war to be fought and be told that, oh, we got to stop them there.
They're going to get us here.
Who?
Who is that?
The greatest thing people can read is Major General Smedley Butler, United States Marine Corps, wrote a phenomenal book called War is a Racket.
I urge people get that book and read it.
Smedley was a two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner, and he'll explain in Marine Corps simplicity.
That means the book's also thin.
Marines get to the point.
He'll explain it.
That war is indeed nothing but a racket.
It's a money-making racket for people like Dick Cheney and Halliburton and people like that to enjoy success and get wealthy and rich over blood.
And people are so tired of wars.
They thought Barack Obama was going to end them.
He took us from two wars to seven, and Trump ran on a non-interventionist policy.
And again, we're still in Afghanistan.
We're still in Iraq.
And he bombed Somalia.
We're in nine or ten of them now.
We're in Somalia now.
Right, right.
We're not telling anybody about that.
We got active combat going on in Somalia.
Right.
And so how did this do we do it?
Is this just going to be the end of our empire, Jesse?
Do you think?
Well, it could be.
You know, we followed Rome to a T, and so you know the ultimate result of what happened to Rome.
Right.
They went out and got involved in a bunch of wars throughout the world with their colonialism crap, and it ended up destroying their infrastructure internally from within, which is exactly what we're doing right now.
We've got nothing but the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer.
And the gap is getting larger between that.
Trump crows about his great economy, but a child born today, I don't know what the number would be now, starts his life off at about 70,000 in debt.
You know, just when a child takes their first breath of air.
And so there's nothing to crow about our economy on.
All they do is borrow.
And my mother and dad trained me never to have debt.
That's why this whole pandemic isn't hitting me that hard because my mom, my mother would buy a new car every four years.
She'd trade in the old one and pay cash for the new one.
We never had a car payment in my house growing up back in the 50s and 60s.
And that's the way she trained me.
They told me, if you have debt, then you are never free.
And so I've tried to live my debt, and the first thing I do is destroy all my debt.
And when you're in the position people are in today, not having debt is phenomenal.
Yeah, no doubt about it.
So, do you have any prescription to heal the country at this moment?
Wow.
Well, I think, you know, again, I think it's a thing of socialism a bit, but first, we've got to not, we've got to get rid of this pandemic.
First and foremost.
It's got to go and do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Second of all, you know, we need we can tie in the economic gain and the direction to our country to the Black Lives Matter movement because when everybody does better, the world's a better place.
That's already been proven.
When people, when the population gets lifted up, everyone gets lifted up.
So economically, we need to address that tremendously.
And part of that is this debt and the way our government operates.
It's absurd that, you know, they just print money.
They go to war.
I mean, George Bush goes to war and cuts taxes.
I know.
How do you do that?
And so we need legislation like this.
How about a war tax?
The minute they decide to take an armed conference conference, whatever the word is, I'm tongue-tied here.
When they go out in conflict outside of our country, there should be a tax that kicks in immediately to pay for that war.
Because if you hit people in their pocketbook, they won't be so quick to go to war then if they realize they actually have to pay for it.
Yeah, you're right.
Right now, there's no draft and there's no tax for the war.
They just put it on the credit card.
That's all George Bush and Dick Cheney did.
Right.
Stuck it on the old credit card, the debt.
How do you start a war and then cut taxes?
And let me just give you my final question.
You know, I try to, you know, I don't judge people for the way they vote.
I didn't try to judge Trump voters.
I tried to understand them because some of them are in my own family.
And, you know, we're all given horrible choices.
And I bet we all wish we had better ones.
And so right now, it seems like the left and the right is, you know, the left or the Democrats and the media did this ridiculous Russia gate thing for three years, which was a complete evidence-free conspiracy theory that red-baited the president and anybody who was enemies of the Democratic Party.
Sure.
And so it was just disgusting and despicable, right?
And we were one of the shows that called that out.
Yep.
And so now with what's happening in the streets and Trump is trying to make this all about Antifa and George Soros and now the 75-year-old guy in Buffalo who got knocked out, he was somehow instigating that himself.
And it's crazy, right?
And so how do we get how does so and the president himself tweeted that out and that's where they're getting it from?
And it's like, so how do you how do we get people to they're in their own psychotic bubbles.
One people saying Russia gate, the other people saying Antifa and, you know, somehow the cops are right.
And it's just, well, how do we, what can we do?
I think we need a charismatic leader like you.
I only have one answer for you.
And it's next to impossible.
But it's the only way out that I know of.
Are you ready, Jimmy?
Yes.
If we all got mail-in ballots, that means it's easy to write a name in.
If enough people write my name in, then I got to do the job, don't I?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Jerry, now in all seriousness, I don't know what to do other than that.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so hard.
I can't get on the third-party ballot because of all the stuff we talked about earlier and all that.
But you can still write in.
And if it ends up the majority, because I still believe because of the coronavirus, we're going to see a rebound.
And here's what I fear, that it'll be so drastic and all that.
Trump's going to declare martial law and there's not going to be an election.
Yeah.
You know, anything can happen right now.
The craziest things have already happened.
Oh, yeah.
Or he's going to get us into a war or he's going to do or the rioting in the streets is going to flare up so much that he has to declare martial law.
You know, they're preparing for it, and he's got bars ready and waiting to go.
Yeah, yeah.
He can't wait for that to get the call on that.
And I put nothing past these desperate men.
You know, people need to remember something.
There was another guy in history who ran on law and order.
Nixon.
That was the basis of his whole campaign.
And he ran for office in 1930s Germany.
Oh, and his first, and his first name was Adolph.
So people ought to try to remember.
Adolph was a law and order candidate, but you know, in some ways, he was better than our law and order candidate.
You know why?
Why?
He actually served in the army.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
No, I see.
You know, the second guy, the one I was thinking of, was Nixon.
He ran on Law and Order.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
But take it back farther.
Let's take it to Germany, 1930s.
Hitler's campaign was on law and order for Germany to restore law and order.
And it's scary to see how many people will just not believe their own eyes and ears and believe what their leader says, like Donald Trump saying that.
Well, and then they scapegoat certain people.
Look at what Trump first did his first four years.
He scapegoated the Latinos.
Right, right.
He ran on scapegoating them in 2016.
Build the wall.
Da-da-da-da.
All of that stuff.
Right, right.
Rep, I know.
Wow, it's Mitt Romney on the phone.
Hello.
That's Sir, Mitt Romney, Jimney.
I went to a Black Lives Matter protest.
You probably didn't see me because I blended in with the crowd.
Thank goodness I had the presence of mind to bring a camera so all you white liberals would see it and choke on your Chardonnay.
I'm part of the movement, Jimmy.
I always have been.
But you belong to a church whose doctrine said black people were inferior beings.
That was only until I was 31 years old.
Oh, and it was nice the church started letting black people in.
Blondie to be up.
