Time Text
Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy.
Yes.
Is this a cure phone line?
Uh, sure.
This is Vladimir Putin.
How are you?
I'm fine, President Putin.
How are you?
I am doing how you say well.
Okay.
So, do you like the gift I gifted you?
What gift?
I didn't receive any gift.
Oh, but you did.
Yesterday, victory of Senator Ed Markey over Kennedy.
Huh?
What?
What?
For the first time ever, a Kennedy loses a race in Massachusetts.
How is this possible?
What caused such an occurrence?
Uh, Joe Kennedy was a flawed candidate, and his youth and name ended up not influencing young voters.
No, no, no, no, no.
Must be more complicated and sinister than that.
Perhaps foreign interference?
Conspiracy theories are not needed to explain things that some of us saw coming a mile away.
The Kennedys are a political dynasty.
People do not simply discard dynasty.
Well, looks like they do sometimes.
And I'm not buying that you had anything to do with that election or any other election in the United States.
Is that so?
Well, let's just say 2020 is going to be a very busy year for Vladimir.
Vlad will be busy.
Yes, you will be busy enjoying the fact that people are stupid enough to think that deeply flawed candidates cannot simply lose elections and that some nefarious cloak and dagger crap is at work.
I will control elections.
I choose leaders in America.
Me.
Oh, yeah.
How?
How do you do that, Vladimir?
Well, there are several ways.
One is memes.
Memes?
Yes, memes.
Memes that are mean to the person I want to lose.
We put these memes on the Facebook, and ta-da, we have gone to the whole election.
Yeah, you know, Vladimir, I don't think...
Welcome to the election control.
Look, Mr. Putin, Facebook is a cesspool of misinformation already.
If you actually think uploading a bunch of pictures with the frog guy constitutes election interference, I don't know what to tell you.
I got Ed Marquis elected senator.
I will get Piz Marquis elected president if I feel like it.
Inaugural speech will be all pickboxing.
Oh, baby, you got what I need.
Say hello to your new leader, King.
Okay, look, take this over to Rachel Maddow.
We're not buying this crap over here, okay, Putin, Jimmy.
Please, let me have this.
I can't.
Sorry, Vlad.
Can't do it.
Americans paranoid that I can control their elections.
It's the best thing I have going on right now in my life.
Moscow is in lockdown, too, you know.
Quarantine.
It's starting to get to me.
Knowing that people are terrified of my power and reach.
It really helps, you know.
My therapist told me I should really try to hang on to it.
*laughter*
Your therapist encourages this?
Although sometimes I do worry that he is one of those, you know, yes men therapists.
I don't know.
Well, well, look, we're not your therapists here.
I'm not going to spread lies and misinformation about this like everyone else is.
Please.
No.
What if I make nice meme about you?
Jesus Christ.
I'm sorry, still no.
What if I promise not to poison you?
Can you just do that anyway?
Fine.
Therapist says I should chill out with that anyway.
Bye, Jimmy.
Oh, baby, you.
You got what I need.
But she says she's just friends.
But she says.
Something I don't remember the lyrics.
I was very busy in 1989.
Establishment media sucks All gaslighting so good luck Bullshit we can't afford Fomenting this Watch and see as it's jacked off The median speeds and jumps the medium And hits them head on It's the Chimitor Show *music* Hey everybody, welcome to this week's Jimmy Door show.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Hey, Labor Day.
Labor Day's coming.
Labor Day.
You know, Labor Day would be nice if this country actually had real jobs to celebrate, wouldn't it?
It would be.
Hey, the following.
This is true.
The following is from the Joe Biden campaign regarding the violence and destruction taking place on our streets.
It is the official position of the Biden-Harris campaign and the Democratic Party to condemn the violence of Mother Nature, in particular Hurricane Laura, Nana, and any future tropical storms.
Systemic climate destruction has plagued our country far too long, but we all need to continue working together to answer the call of peaceful cooperation with Wall Street and the oil industry to bring about the incremental change we need.
Joe Biden.
Hey, remember, this November, the choice is simple.
You're either with us being against you or with us being against you being against us.
Be sure to make your voice not heard by voting.
And stop your worrying, everybody.
If Biden dies in office, Kamala Harris is fully equipped to do the job just as badly, if not worse.
You know, my thoughts and prayers are littered with satisfying acts of vengeance.
That's not how that phrase goes, right?
Hey, you may ask, hey, Jimmy, what you putting on the old barbecue this Labor Day?
My answer, do I know you?
Hey, what's coming up on today's show?
Biden is polling under Trump in Michigan.
And everybody gets angry at Michael Moore for pointing this out.
Joe Biden won't support Medicare for all because that might win the election.
Nancy Pelosi says Joe Biden should not debate Donald Trump because why would you try to win an election?
How can we help people in the current economic downturn?
I talked to a professor of political economics, Mark Blythe, and his book, Angry Nomics.
And phone calls from Vladimir Putin, Herman Cain, George Clooney, and Bernie Sanders.
Plus a lot lot more.
That's today Jimmy Doer's show.
So it's happening again.
If you are a vote blue, no matter who person and you don't put any pressure on Joe Biden to actually go get votes.
There's 100 million people who don't vote.
Why wouldn't you be putting pressure on Joe Biden to go get votes from them, especially when the race is now neck and neck?
You can't even beat Trump.
That's how garbage the Democrats are.
They can't even beat Trump.
You are garbage.
And every asshole blue check fucking Hollywood prick on Twitter and Facebook wagging their finger at voters instead of at Joe Biden to go get some of those 100 million people who already gave up on government.
And those 100 million people who don't vote, are they rich white people?
No.
Rich white people vote.
Are they privileged white?
No.
Privileged white people vote.
They will not ever pressure Joe Biden to do anything.
Joe Biden just might lose again.
The Democrats just might lose again.
It looks like they're trying everything they can.
Remember this?
This is how Clinton lost Michigan and blew the election.
You ready?
This is Michael Moore.
So she lost Michigan and blew the election.
Michael Moore is now warning us today.
This is from August 30th.
He's tweeting out the polling.
Look at the polling.
In Michigan, Trump up 2% over Biden in Michigan.
This is what he's tweeting out.
Michael Moore, Mr. Michigan.
Someone needs to pull the fire alarm now.
He put it in all caps now, so you know he's serious.
Where are the stories about Trump gaining on Biden?
Below is a poll from Friday in Michigan.
Last week, Trump pulled within four points of Biden.
Now in one poll, Trump is ahead of Biden in Michigan, 47 to 45.
Yet so many Democrats are convinced Trump will lose.
Danger.
Check this out, Michael Moore tweets out.
During the same week in August, but four years apart, in 2016, Hillary was way ahead of Trump.
But this past week, in some swing states, Biden's lead is less than what Hillary's was.
You can't blame this on the PO or Russia.
This is on the candidate and the party.
Wake up.
So we showed you this in another video, that Joe Biden in the swing states is doing worse than Hillary Clinton was doing at this time in her race against Trump.
Joe Biden doing worse.
And he still won't offer anything, anyone to reason.
Those 100 million people who don't vote, he still won't offer them something to vote for.
Isn't that amazing?
I think it's amazing.
They would rather lose to Trump than let a progressive win.
So no, I'm not voting for Joe Biden.
He says, sorry to have to provide the reality check again, but when the poll registered voters in the swing states, Biden and Trump are in a virtual tie.
In Minnesota, it's 47 to 47.
In Michigan, where Biden had a big lead, Trump has closed the gap to four points.
Are you ready for Trump victory?
Act now.
Joe Biden, Michael Moore, Joe Biden is not going to do a goddamn thing.
So you keep pushing that Joe Biden bullshit.
Michael Moore sounding the alarm.
I live in Southeast Michigan and on the ground here, I can tell you that I feel this poll is accurate.
Biden has absolutely no presence on the ground here.
He's relying solely on TV ads.
I've not seen one Biden bumper sticker or yard sign.
On the other hand, Trump stuff is everywhere.
Democrats are risking all of our lives so their country club friends can stay super rich.
That's exactly right.
So if he did, would Joe Biden just come out and offer a Medicare for all?
He would sweep this election.
He won't do it.
Why?
So his country club friends can stay super rich.
Now do you feel like a good person telling people to vote for Joe Biden?
Because if you do, you're a fucking asshole.
You feel good telling people to vote for Joe Biden?
If you do, you're an out-of-touch, rich, privileged asshole.
If you tell people to vote for Joe Biden, you should do it with a heavy heart.
And you should feel horrible about it.
This one can be entirely blamed on this one.
Look at this.
Do you see what I'm talking about?
This one can be entirely blamed on Russia.
Trump is using scripts fed to him by Putin.
Trump can't talk about without being told his catastrophic failure.
In 2016, Putin set up competing rallies to get the violence.
Armand Bundy is taking up to defund and Black Lives Matter, not an ally.
Do you see the kind of, do you see this?
This is America.
This is America.
This is what happens when you watch MSNBC or CNN or read the New York Times or the Washington Post.
That's what happens.
Or listen to NPR.
Or listen to NPR.
Again, this is why we have a show.
And you guys yell at Fox News.
Anybody fucking else?
This is what comes out of MSNBC and CNN, this kind of garbage.
And you wag your finger at anybody, any other news organization?
It's all on the Biden campaign.
This is what Amy says.
It's all on the Biden campaign.
They've chosen to cater to the few anti-Trump Republicans instead of catering to the left.
The Democratic Party has become the Republican Party light.
Yes.
It's all on Biden's campaign because they've chosen Biden.
This guy's replying to Michael Moore.
He says, Mike, I honestly don't see one single Democrat not feeling nervous every day.
I don't know why you are screaming every day as if no one is listening to you.
If you overdo it, people may feel hopeless and stay home.
For Hillary Rodham Clinton, I understand, but for Biden, people are nervous.
So just keep quiet.
Stop talking.
Please don't put pressure on Joe Biden to actually go out and garner votes.
Let's all just cross our fingers, close our eyes, and hope everything turns out okay.
That's Adrian's idea.
Stop talking about negative things.
If you don't talk about problems, they go away.
I hope you don't.
Don't you know that?
If you don't talk about big problems, they magically go away.
Michigan Democratic Party embraces single-payer health care after DNC rejection.
Michigan Democratic Party embraces single-payer health care after DNC rejection.
The Democrats in Michigan know what they should be doing.
You know who doesn't?
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Michigan Democrats just adopted into their state platform immediate implementation of universal singer-pale health single-payer health care system in the United States.
That's the Democrats in Michigan.
And Joe Biden tells those Democrats, don't pounce sad fucker.
You got to vote for me or else you're going to go.
I'm not giving you health care.
I'm not going to help your unions.
I'm going to keep the wars going.
I'm going to outsource jobs.
And who else are you going to vote for?
And I'll probably cut Social Security and Medicare along the way because I've been trying to do it my entire career.
That's Joe Biden.
87% of Democrats support Medicare for all.
Joe Biden doesn't.
That is not a political leader.
That is a tool of a corporation.
That's not a political party.
That's an oligarchy organization there to fuck you.
They're not there to serve you.
That's not your political party.
They don't represent your interests.
They want to trick you into voting for them.
I agree with other commentators.
What exactly should Biden and Harris be doing at this point?
That they are not.
Oh, tough question.
Tough question.
I don't know.
Maybe offer something to people so they'd vote for them.
Policies for people.
Maybe a policy of health care.
Maybe a policy of ending the wars.
Maybe a policy of ending fracking.
Maybe a policy of student debt relief.
Maybe a policy.
What are you talking about?
What should they be doing?
They should be trying to do something for people in the middle of a pandemic.
How about give health care to people in the middle of a pandemic?
How about that?
How about a UBI while the government shuts down everybody's business?
How about legalized marijuana?
How about Medicare for all?
How about a Green New Deal?
How about free public college?
Any one of those things would get them a ton of new votes.
Any one of those things will get them a ton of new votes.
They're not fucking doing it.
Why?
Because they'd rather have their rich country club friends stay rich.
Here's the betting odds for Trump versus Biden.
Look at now.
Look where it is.
Jeez.
The betting odds are right there: 50-50.
Ashley Stevens says, honestly, I'm terrified either way.
We've seen 40 years of Biden's record.
Every single time Biden has had power, he has caused direct and intentional harm to black people.
He's never apologized and doesn't feel bad for it.
He's directly responsible for what is going on right now.
There's no Trump without Joe Biden paving the way.
Go, Ashley.
Wow.
I don't see how his administration is going to save me from his own legacy and record.
I don't see how him winning and governing won't bring us another Trump later on.
Exactly.
Ashley Stevens.
Exactly.
All you ass-white blue check motherfuckers virtue signaling how Trump is bad.
You're going to vote for Biden because you care about poor people.
Suck it.
You're just an out-of-touch rich asshole.
And why weren't you talking the last eight years when Barack Obama was president and he was kicking people out of their houses, denying them fucking health care with a right-wing health care plan, opening the Arctic to drilling twice, taking us from two wars to seven and making the banks bigger?
Where was your outrage then?
You're not sticking up for poor black and brown people by screaming about Trump.
That's you making yourself feel better.
You're not a good person.
Because if you were a good person, you would actually said some shit about this when Barack Obama was president.
but you didn't because that would have been bad for your fucking career.
Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back for coming out against Trump.
And the guy he's running against is going to do the exact same shit.
I thought I'd give Herman Kane another call to ask how he could still be tweeting stuff when he's dead.
Hello.
Hi, this is Herman Cain.
And I still do not understand what in the heck happened.
Well, according to science and the best medical experts, Herman, you died a month ago.
No way.
That science stuff is all messed up.
Don't believe it for a second.
Then how do you explain what happened to you?
It's a mystery.
It baffles science.
Look, those science guys can't explain everything.
Like, why is the orange called an orange, but a banana isn't called a yellow?
Why do they call the sink a sink?
It's not going anywhere.
They should call it a stay.
Why are they called stairs?
What are they looking at?
Concentration camp?
Who could think of a place like that?
What is chestnuts?
See a doctor, pal.
And what's the name of that vertical indentation in the middle area of your upper lip?
I've always wondered about that.
It's a dang mystery.
Oh, my.
It's called a filtrum.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And just how do scientists know it's called a filtrum?
Because they came up with the name, Herman.
Just like they came up with the COVID.
Herman, COVID-19 is real.
Then why am I still tweeting?
Maybe your family wants to make money off your name by downplaying the virus.
No, it's a mystery.
It baffles science.
The CDC just released a report saying 94% of COVID deaths had an underlying condition, like you did.
And Herman Kane replied, it looks like the virus is not as deadly as the mainstream media first made it out to be.
What's the problem?
I don't get it.
Well, the point is, Herman, most people have underlying medical conditions, but COVID is what kills them.
You'll just have to excuse me, Jimmy, but you'll never convince me COVID killed me just because it killed me.
Herman Kane is skeptical.
Like what?
Maybe if I died a second time, I might find out.
Is Donald Trump going to hold any more rallies?
I think so.
Yes, he is.
Well, great.
I'll see you hit it with no mask.
Because Herman Cain is fed up.
In the meantime, why are they called cannonballs?
Hey, if you got cannonballs, see a doctor, pal.
Joy Ann Reid went off on a little tangent today.
And, you know, as long as you do the bidding of the corporation, they will never fire you, right?
You'll always have a job.
That's why Brian Williams has a job.
That's why Rachel Maddow can be crazier than Alex Jones ever was.
And she still has a job.
That's why Joy Ann Reed could say all that horrible stuff that she got caught saying, lied about that she said it, said somebody else packed her, didn't, and she still has a job, right?
So if you're a horrible person and you lie on behalf of the establishment, you will always have a job.
Always.
And so this, again, this will not be a problem because Joy Ann Reid is willing to do the bidding of the corporation whenever she's told.
But this is kind of funny.
To me, it's funny to watch how kind of crazy this is.
Okay, watch this.
You know, them scuffling, shooting paintballs at people and getting in the mix with people.
Is that patriotic activity?
I don't think the president's seen that video, Nora.
You know, when leaders, let's say in the Muslim world, talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy.
We in the U.S. media describe that as they are radicalizing those people, particularly when they're radicalizing young people.
That's how we talk about the way Muslims act.
When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different?
First of all, I like how she doubled down and said Muslims twice.
She didn't just say it once.
Muslims do violent stuff.
I can't think of any other group of people around the world where some members who identify with that group do violent things.
So Muslims.
Let's just pick Muslims.
Muslim, Muslim, Muslim.
Why does my panel look so uncomfortable?
I don't know.
I don't know.
*laughter* *sigh*
Islamophobia at the top, delusional statements about Trump at the bottom.
This is your progressive network, folks.
I like this tweet.
This isn't even subtle.
It's blatant Islamophobia by Joy Ann Reed.
That was kind of nuts.
That's kind of nuts.
Here's another one.
Alex Koch says, after having a body language expert on her show to malign Bernie Sanders, Joy Reed was recently elevated to a nightly prime time slot on MSNBC.
I guess Joy Reid has a public position and a blogger position, I'm guessing.
Joy I Reid first just throws out Muslim leaders encouraging their followers to use their bodies to inflict violence.
Which leaders?
Then compares how Muslims act to American white nationalist radicalization.
There you go.
Oh, by the way, Reid also has in the past written anti-LGBT blogs, and I shit you not, promoted Alex Jones.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Does that make you regret, Jimmy, ever having an MSNBC contract?
I never had one.
Oh, wait a minute.
I never had one of those.
You don't have one.
I don't have one of those.
I get to call out Joy Reed when she does this.
If I had an MSNBC contract, I would have to make up a lame excuse of why I don't.
You would probably end up filling in for her.
I probably would end up filling it for her.
And then Russia gating immediately.
When Joy Reed's old blog posts resurfaced, the only thing most of the MS mainstream media focused on was the homophobic part.
The anti-Muslim sentiment was largely ignored because it's usually accepted by both parties.
So I'm not surprised by the people who are rallying around to defend her.
Thank you.
Joy Reid has previously claimed her blog was hacked and that she was unaware that anti-gay comments had been inserted under her name long after she had stopped writing it.
MSNBC has stood by her pending an FBI investigation.
An FBI investigation.
Ooh, definitely not a waste of money at all.
The bizarre allegations have raised questions about Joy Reed's honesty and integrity.
You think?
You think?
But here's what I know, Joy Reed said on her program.
I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me.
But I can definitely understand, based on things I have tweeted and have written in the past, why some people don't believe me.
I've not been exempt from being dumb or cruel or hurtful to the very people I want to advocate for.
I own that.
I get it.
And for that, I am truly, truly sorry.
That's the best you can come up with.
Nah, I didn't write that.
Come on.
Blame bath salts or something.
Say you were drunk.
Even the dog ate my decency.
But I didn't write that.
I like the part where it says, I genuinely believe I wrote those hateful things.
Like, that's such the perfect excuse.
I genuinely.
Oh, genuinely.
It's genuine.
Oh, so if you say that.
So you say that, that's a liar wouldn't say that.
No, no.
A liar wouldn't feel genuine about it.
No, liars would never say, hey, sincerely and genuinely, I am.
No, this is heartfelt.
I can't believe I wrote those hateful things.
That doesn't sound like me.
Joy Reed apologizes after more controversial blog posts surface.
You know what they say where there's smoke.
There's usually blogs that'll get you fired.
Newly unearthed posts from MSNBC's host Joy Reed.
Dow's defunct blog contains content that is not only anti-gay, but anti-Muslim.
Thank you.
It was a crazy weekend, man.
She doesn't remember any of it, all right?
Genuinely.
Genuinely.
She says, the only reason that a world war between civilizations, this is what she has not already broken out, is that the vast majority of Muslims living in the world today are so desperately poor, they have time, energy, and resources for only the occasional burst of AK-47 fire into the Air from the garbage and sewage-laden streets outside of their mud huts.
So, this is called the shadow projecting.
So, she's projecting when she hates on Trump.
Remember when Trump called those places shithole countries?
That's what that is.
They're mud huts in garbage, sewage-laden streets outside of their mud huts.
She's just like Trump.
Isn't that funny?
Isn't that weird?
An MSNBC host is exactly like Trump.
Isn't that weird?
And that's why they hate him so much, because they project onto him all the shit that they actually do.
Isn't that funny?
That's why they never talk about policy.
They only talk about Trump, what a jerk he is.
That's what Carl Jung calls the shadow.
There it is, baby.
That's Trump saying shithole countries.
Thank you.
Wow.
Wow.
Reed recently claimed that her website had been hacked and that the homophobic posts were fabricated to smear her.
But the post appeared to have been archived by the Library of Congress since 2006.
Hey, I love this.
Vox soon, how Donald Trump's anti-Muslim rhetoric radicalized Joey Reed.
So we are...
So we know that the time-traveling hackers can get to the 90s in case anyone needs some flannel or clear Pepsi, just so you know.
Raza Aslan says, What the hell is wrong with you, people?
What this fucking guy.
This Raza Osla guy.
Come on.
What the hell is wrong with you, people?
Joy Ann Reed obviously meant right-wing kids are being radicalized by Trumpism the same way young Muslims have been radicalized by jihadism.
That is a fact.
Well, it's weird that she didn't just say that then.
And why couldn't she have given another example of extremism?
Because there are plenty.
And then she has this horrible history of saying shit like that, calling them garbage, living in garbage and sewers and mud huts.
She already has a history of doing that.
You think she would pick another group, but she didn't, Raza.
Reza.
Reza?
I like calling him Raza.
I like calling him Raza.
Come on, Reza.
You know well that that's not what she said.
She held the same views before.
I know you want to get back on TV, Reza, but that's not the way.
This is not the way and certainly not on that show.
Thank you.
MSNBC's Joy Reid compares President Trump's supporters to Muslim terrorists, and even those on the left are destroying her for Islamophobia.
That's from the Blaze.
Trump retweets it and says, like Fredo at fake news.
Like Fredo at Fake News CNN, the very untalented Joy Reed should be fired for this horrible use of the words Muslim terrorists.
Such xenophobia and racism on MSDNC.
Anyone else would be gone and fast.
You know, when your hacked blogs are so bad, even Donald Trump feels like he can call you out.
Jeez.
Joy Reed's blog called Islam incompatible with free speech.
Really?
Islam is incompatible with free speech, Joy?
Call me when Comcast airs honest reports on war or the environment or even net neutrality.
But it's Islamophobia.
You guys have been doing the truth about RussiaGate for four years?
So, of course, the people, you know, bringing you the news on network television have absolutely no integrity or character.
Of course not.
That's the first thing they purchase is your integrity and character.
And if you don't want to sell it, you leave.
You leave.
Do you want to hear that shit she said again?
Because I want to play it again.
Let me play one more time.
You know, them scuffling, shooting paintballs at people and getting in the mix with people.
Is that patriotic activity?
I don't think the president's seen that video, Nora.
Vibe.
You know, when leaders, let's say in the Muslim world, talk a lot of violent talk and encourage their supporters to be willing to commit violence, including on their own bodies, in order to win against whoever they decide is the enemy.
We in the U.S. media describe that as they are radicalizing those people, particularly when they're radicalizing young people.
That's how we talk about the way Muslims act.
When you see what Donald Trump is doing, is that any different?
Wow.
Okay.
It's quite an example.
Quite an example.
George Clooney's calling me.
I hope he doesn't call me his little ding-dong and tell me to sock it to him.
Hello?
Hey, my little ding-dong.
Suck it to me.
Hi, George.
What's up?
Hey, Champ.
Got questions for you.
Of all the Batmans you've seen on screen of silver, your Keatons, your Kilmers, your Afflecks, and your Bales.
Who's your favorite?
That's a hard call to make, George.
I mean, I like them all.
Well, I'll help you narrow it down, Air Pilgrim.
Who's the biggest, most well-recognized, and most revered A-list star in the business today?
Well, there's so many of them.
I mean, I can't answer that.
Okay, Hint.
Who's got three Golden Globes?
Two, count them.
Two Oscars, twins who eat like a damn moose, and a wife who walks like a frigging gazelle.
Uh, you on the money, cookie face.
And how does a career like that happen?
You ask.
Simple.
It's all part of the wait for it, clooney mistake.
It was in the stars.
What the universe wants, the universe gets, as they say.
Who is this they, by the way?
I don't, I don't know.
Could it be us, the collective fabric of our reawakening?
The battle for the soul of this country.
Hold on a sec.
Is that my hot pocket burning?
Fuck them all.
Yeah, I'm back.
Where was I?
The battle for the soul of the country?
Right.
By the way, a big birthday happy to my pal, Keanu Reeves.
Nanu Nanu, you nut.
No, no, wait, George, I think you meant to say, excellent dude.
Whatever.
So we missed you at the happening last night.
What happened, George?
My pal, Jeff Katchenberg, I call him the catch.
He hosted this big virtual fundraiser, VFR, in the biz.
Didn't see you there, Pally.
What's that?
I wasn't invited.
Oh, my bad, Chimburino.
Anyway, can you still pitch in some of that Hollywood cabbage you got lying around you, Pat, Kimo Sabi?
Hey, you got me wrong, George.
I don't want to give it to a failed political party.
Oh, come on.
Byron Allen did a tight five.
Least you could do is help pay his limo fee.
Limo fee for what?
I thought this was a virtual fundraiser.
Roger that, Houston.
But it was in an intimate setting, get me.
Okay, well, what was the average donation?
Let's see, $7 million divided by 25 donors.
That comes to around $208,000 a pot.
What do you say?
Can you match?
I don't think so.
Sorry.
Whoa, very disappointing.
I guess you're okay with all those babies in cages.
As the great Abe Lincoln once said, don't let perfection get in the way of giving the South all their guns back.
Hey, did Lincoln really say that?
As you know, I am Abe's half-first cousin, five times removed.
So it's in my blood.
Certainly, both of us have our great share of charisma and intellect, but he also had the limbs of a gazelle and married Toddy like a moose.
Something to think about this November pilgrim.
Peace out.
And my driver will see your driver at Whole Foods.
I don't know if you know.
So here's the yeah, it doesn't matter.
Here's the new polls out.
The averages as of August 24th.
Oh, this is this is from August 24th, 2016.
At the top is 2016, at the bottom is 2020.
So it's comparing the polls.
Compare and contrast.
So you see Wisconsin at the top.
So that's Wisconsin.
That's Clinton was up plus 11.5.
Biden's up plus 6.5.
In Pennsylvania, Hillary Clinton was up nine points.
In Pennsylvania, Biden's up five points.
So what the point of this is to show you is Hillary Clinton was doing much better in all these swing states than Joe Biden is.
And she lost.
So here, CBS News, YouGov poll, post-DNC among independents.
Trump 47, Biden 37.
So before.
Do you see this?
Yes.
They'd have been better off not doing that.
Right?
That's how shitty they are.
So do you think that there'll be any point that the good, well-intentioned blue check world of social media will ever start pressuring Joe Biden to go get some fucking votes and get those 100 million people who don't vote to vote?
I was so glad I remembered that during the interview, that that's the biggest voting block.
The 100 million people who don't vote.
It's impressive.
Is it that at what point do you think the blue check class on social media will finally go, hey, you know, Joe Biden, being slightly less shittier than Donald Trump may not cut it.
Maybe you actually, I don't know, offer some a solution.
Did you see all the solutions Mark Blythe has had in his book, Angry Nomics?
They actually have solutions to people's income inequality.
They have solutions.
Joe Biden has none.
He's not even interested.
Oh, look at that.
So before the DNC, Trump was up five.
After the DNC, Trump's up 10.
Get in the F among independents, that is.
Does not look good.
That's how bad Joe Biden and the Democrats are, that Trump does better with independents than he does.
Is everybody in this country just a maniac racist?
Or is Joe Biden, the Democrats, that horrible?
The latter.
And here's how they're going to try.
Here's how they're going to try.
Here's how they're going to try.
And if you fall for this, you are the sucker of all suckers, Kay.
Here is how Nancy Pelosi is going to bullshit you.
She's going to lie right now to everybody in the world, including everyone who ever voted for her.
She's going to lie because they don't want Donald Trump and Joe Biden to debate because Joe Biden is obviously demented.
He can't even read a statement.
And here's Nancy Pelosi's big idea.
Since you asked about that, I myself just don't tell anybody I told you this.
Especially don't tell Joe Biden.
I don't think that there should be any debates.
I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that anybody should have any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts.
I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States.
Now, I know.
See, just wouldn't, I wouldn't legitimize the guy who's the effing president of the United States.
You mean the guy whose legislative agenda you passed?
You wouldn't legitimize that guy, but you would pass his legislative agenda, right, you liar?
And the reason why is because he doesn't use facts right and he's a liar and he makes up stuff.
That's why Joe Biden shouldn't debate Donald Trump because Donald Trump makes stuff up.
Really?
Explaining to do the new questions stemmed from a taped remark of Biden during an April campaign appearance in New Hampshire.
I went to law school on a full academic scholarship.
The only one in my class would have a full academic scholarship.
Went back to law school and in fact ended up in the top half of my class.
I was the outstanding student in the political science department at the end of my year.
I graduated with three degrees from undergraduate school and 165 credits, only 123 credits.
Biden now concedes he did not graduate in the top half of his law school class, that he does not have three degrees from college, and that he was not named outstanding political science student in college.
Hughesweek says Biden actually went to school on a half scholarship, ended up near the bottom of his class, and won only one degree, not three.
Joe Biden ranked 76th in a class of 85 at the University of Syracuse Law School.
I mean, this guy comes off this whole thing as a flyway.
Now, Biden says Newsweek is right.
His memory had failed him.
Joseph.
Of how we can evaluate the condition of our society cannot measure that.
Just remember, it's Nancy Pelosi saying, Joe Biden, Mr. Integrity, should not debate Donald Trump because, you know, you don't want to legitimize a guy who plays fast and loose with the facts and make stuff up.
So that was Joe Biden completely making up.
And here he is plagiarizing.
Of how we can evaluate the condition of our society.
Cannot measure the health of our children.
The quality of our education.
The joy of their play.
Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children.
The quality of their education or the joy of their play.
And I started thinking as I was coming over here: why is it that Joe Biden is the first in his family ever to go to a university?
Why am I the first kid in a thousand generations to be able to get to university?
Why is it that my wife is sitting out there in the audience is the first in her family to ever go to college?
Why is Kennis the first woman in her family in a thousand generations to be able to get the university?
No, it's not because they weren't as smart.
It's not because they didn't work as hard.
It's because they didn't have a platform upon which to stand.
Does anybody really think that they didn't get what we had because they didn't have the talent or the strength or the endurance or the commitment?
Of course not.
It was because there was no platform upon which they could stand.
So let me hear why Nancy Pelosi says she just changed to be a drink.
Don't tell anybody I told you this.
Especially don't tell Joe Biden.
I don't think that there should be any debates.
I do not think that the president of the United States has comported himself in a way that anybody should has any association with truth, evidence, data, and facts.
I wouldn't legitimize a conversation with him, nor a debate in terms of the presidency of the United States.
Now I know.
That's Queen Nancy Pelosi just completely bullshitting you, ramming a demented motherfucker down your throat.
Just bullshit, lying.
That's what Nancy Pelosi looks like when she's lying at the top of her lungs.
That's what she looks like when she's bullshitting you.
That's what she looks like.
She tries to be extra folksy.
Don't tell anybody I'm saying this.
Don't tell anybody I'm saying this at a press conference.
So please don't be afraid of it.
She's trying to be clever, right?
That's her being clever.
This is just between us.
Don't tell anybody, especially don't tell Joe Biden.
That's how they figured out.
Hey, whatever you think about whatever you think about anything, the fact that the establishment in the press, our political establishment, our elected leaders are all conspiring to bullshit you and ram a demented warmongering tool of Wall Street as your leader.
And you know who's next in line?
Someone who didn't get a delegate.
Someone who couldn't get a vote.
That's your next leader.
But we all know who our real leader is, don't we?
It's her donors.
That's why she's the leader.
Oh, Jimmy, just stop it.
Just stop it.
Just calm down, Jimmy.
Just calm down.
You know, my favorite part in her statement, she was tired of Donald Trump's skullduggery.
Oh.
Skull.
Come on.
Come on.
You know, like everybody had to look it up.
Skullduggery.
You know, oh, it's underhanded.
It also synonym for hanky pinky.
I'm tired of Nancy Pelosi's skull fuckery.
I'm tired of the skull fuckery myself.
I'm tired of being skull fucked by the establishment.
Done with it.
Yes.
Suck it, 2020.
It's amazing how everything in your personality hinges on your ability to individuate, which is a concept pioneered by Carl Jung.
And he didn't know that it actually started in infancy, but it does.
And so it.
And it's all about integrating your shadow, meaning the parts of you that you deny, that you have suppressed into your subconscious, that actually control you.
So Carl Jung is famous.
Carl Jung is famous for saying that enlightenment, I might be butchering this.
I'm going to paraphrase this.
So enlightenment doesn't come from learning something new.
Enlightenment comes from making the darkness conscious.
Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
And the way you can tell your life is being directed by your unconscious is you look at negative patterns in your life.
So if you look at patterns of behavior, like, oh, why do I keep getting in this situation?
Why do I date the same kind of person?
Why do I have these same kind of friends who I don't like that treat?
Why do my friends treat me this way I don't like consistently?
Or why does this keep, why do I end up in the same situation I don't like?
So you look at negative patterns that keep happening and you have to dig.
And it's usually because it's your unconscious guiding you.
It's your shadow side, right?
And it's the part.
So here's a good example.
Can you turn off the thing?
Yeah.
So here's a good example of that.
One time I was in San Francisco, this is in the 90s.
This is in the 90s.
I mean, I was going to sing, but I'm going to turn this off.
So this was in the 90s.
And I was in San Francisco proper.
We're in a restaurant.
Me and this other guy.
And so I like to linger in restaurants.
I like to have a coffee after my meal and linger and whatever.
So we had breakfast and I had just gotten a coffee refill.
And the guy I was with said, hey, let's get out of here.
And I said, oh, I just got a coffee refill.
Can we just hang out?
Where do we got to go anyway?
And he says, I just want to get out of here because I don't like being around these gay guys.
He said, he didn't use, he didn't say gay guys.
He used a derogatory term.
And This is again, this is in the 90s.
This is before the internet, even.
But even then, it seemed a little weird to be saying that, you know?
And I go, why do you care?
Why would you let them bother you?
Why does that bother you?
that there's gay guys here.
I don't understand how that would, you would let that make you leave faster, even if you're enjoying your coffee.
And he just said, hey, I don't care what people do.
I don't care what they do.
I can do whatever they want.
He goes, but I don't like being around them.
It makes me nervous.
They make me uncomfortable.
And I was like, what?
That sounded really Neanderthal to me, right?
You don't like being around gay people because they make you uncomfortable?
What?
Later on in the week, we were drinking.
We got a little drunk.
And that same person admitted to me that they had, when they were little, they would watch wrestling and get an erection.
So that was that person having a same-sex attraction, manifesting in an erection, and then him realizing this is shameful, that I don't want to have a same-sex homosexual attraction.
That's bad.
This part of me is bad.
And so I have to deny that it's in me.
And so he put it that that becomes your shadow.
So you're a heterosexual in the world, but your shadow side, you have this part of you that is your shadow.
You stuffed into your shame bag, as Robert Bly would say.
Robert Bly, the poet, he said, most people spend the first 20 years of their life putting all the parts of themselves that they hate into a shame bag, and then they spend the rest of their life trying to get those parts of themselves back out.
And we shame things that we just, we consider that might be bad, even though they're not bad, like same-sex attraction.
Like, that's not inherently a bad thing.
But, since our society shames it, that person, that guy didn't want to identify with having same-sex attraction, because then he might be a fucking weirdo.
So he denies that part of himself, and that goes in his shame bag, and that's called his shadow.
And so then, when he gets around other gay people, when he gets around gay people, outwardly gay, it causes him anxiety inside of himself, and he doesn't quite know why.
He didn't know why.
He just felt uncomfortable.
Why?
Because that excites that part of him that he's been suppressing, that you also have same-sex attraction.
It reminds him of that unconsciously.
It fucking drives him crazy.
And so now he's having a reaction.
I got, I'm anxious.
And he doesn't know why.
And so I bet every time he was around gay people, he would get anxious and edgy, and maybe even angry, and not know why.
And that's his unconscious controlling.
And so every time, every time this happens, he's like, I end up with fucking gay guys around me.
So that's his unconscious directing his life, and he's calling it fate.
Now, about five years after that, I was watching a movie called The Talented Mr. Ripley, and I was watching it in a movie theater.
And that stars Matt Damon and Jude Law, the beautiful Jude Law, at the peak of his prettiness.
This is fucking 20 years ago.
The Talented Mr. Ripley.
Wow, it's that long ago.
Fuck, life goes past.
Jesus Christ.
That's depressing.
I still think of Matt Damon as 35 years old, but he's not.
He's probably 55 years old.
Anyway, that's so fucking weird.
Anyway, so I'm watching this movie, and all of a sudden, I find myself thinking, I notice, I notice, that I'm anticipating the next scene, because I can't wait to see what Jude Law is going to be wearing.
I notice that I'm anticipating.
I notice this feeling inside of me.
I notice it.
And I'm like, what the fuck?
Am I attracted to Jude Law?
That's what I was thinking.
And it made me a little uncomfortable.
I was like, what?
A little?
Huh?
Am I?
And then I talked about it with my friend afterwards, who I saw the movie with.
And well, I'll just do the joke for you, because that's exactly how it happened.
I said, yeah, I was really, I was having some feelings for that Jude Law during that movie.
Wasn't he pretty?
Did you have any?
He goes, no.
He goes, I go, you didn't feel anything for Jude Law?
And he says, no.
He goes, but Brad Pitt.
And I go, nah.
He goes, Brad Pitt?
I go, I don't like blondes.
And he goes, did you ever see him?
He goes, did you ever see him in Thelma and Louise?
And I go, I never did see that movie.
He goes, he was fucking beautiful in that movie.
And I go, hey, what are we talking about?
So that's the joke version.
And no, Brad Pitt never did it for me, even in Thelma and Louise.
It was just Jude Law.
It was just that one time that I acknowledged anyway, that I'm aware of.
So the point of that is, if I would have stuffed that down, that same sex attraction that I felt for Jude Law watching The Talented Mr. Ripley, if I would have stuffed that down inside me, now that would have controlled, I would have directed my life.
I would be homophobic.
I would be homophobic, which is what that makes you.
So now you're, the thing that's in you makes you uncomfortable, gives you anxiety, because I'm denying it.
Well, since I acknowledged it, that would be my shadow, that same sex attraction.
I have this part of me, that normally is shamed, I'm supposed to be ashamed of, and put in my shame bag, but I didn't.
I didn't put in my shame bag.
I wasn't that ashamed of it.
I owned it.
And I think it was because I was a comedian, I knew intrinsically, I could make this funny on stage, and that this would be helpful for me.
So I just owned it.
And that's what they talk about, integrating your shadow.
So whatever is the bad part of yourself, you have to acknowledge it, that you want to murder someone, that you want to rape someone, that you want to be selfish, that you want to be greedy, that you want to be lazy.
All these shadow sides of yourself that you deny, if you can acknowledge that you have them, and you can actually acknowledge them, not just in some kind of intellectual exercise, but actually acknowledge these are parts of yourself.
These are urges you actually have.
And then you can own them.
Like a lot of people have sexual fantasies that they're ashamed of.
They won't even tell their husband or wife or partner or anything.
They won't tell even their psychiatrists for a long time.
That's part of us, though.
Where does it come from?
So it's not bad or good, no matter what the sexual thing is.
No matter what it is, it's just a thing.
It's just a part of you.
It's not good.
It's not bad.
It's a sexual fantasy.
So that's a lot of people have that kind of shame around sex and they push it down and then it comes out in weird ways.
So that's like how women have rape fantasies, right?
right so the easiest way to explain that is let's say you grew up a mormon and you're not allowed to have sex until you're married or else you're a bad person and so then and especially a woman right you're a bad person you can't enjoy sex then you're a slut that's also bad and if you have sex before you're married you're then God hates you and you're bad and slutty and all that stuff.
So what do you do if you're horny and you're a girl and you're Mormon?
You fantasize about someone raping you.
Oh, I wish someone would come along and just take me and have sex with me so that I wouldn't feel guilty about it and I wouldn't have to take responsibility for it.
And I could still enjoy the sexual pleasure.
It's the same kind of thing that happened in that story, Tristan, where they drink the potion before, anyway.
So then they fall in love because of the potion.
So they don't have to take responsibility for the fact that they actually already fell in love.
So that's what the shadow.
So if I didn't accept that shadow part of me, that part that normally males, blue-collar males in America would stuff down shame, same-sex attraction, I didn't.
I owned it.
And by doing that, it gave me like such a more solid footing sexually in my life that I wasn't denying that.
It just gave me, it just made me feel more balanced.
And that's what they say about you integrate your shadow, not that you act it out, but you acknowledge that it's in you and then you integrate it into your personality.
And there's a saying that I don't want to be a good, I'd rather be a whole person than a good person because good people are pushing down parts of themselves.
And I'd rather be, and they're not, and they're called, they're fragmented.
That's called a fragmented personality.
So you're literally hiding parts of yourself to your conscious self.
It's still in your unconscious.
And remember, our conscious mind is just the tip of the iceberg.
Most of the shit that's happening is unconscious.
It's underneath the water level, right?
So we all know that.
And then that leads into projection.
And, you know, the silent sinners scream the loudest.
That's all has to do with your shadow side, the parts of us that we deny.
That's how people become hypocrites.
And by the way, we're all hypocrites because we all have a shadow side.
So that's why hypocrisy is so easy to find because it's fucking everywhere because it's part of the human condition.
And according to Jung and the people who've come after him, that if, you know, you can deny that we have archetypes, right?
So there's a collective unconscious.
What?
I know, I don't, not to get too deep into it, but we all, it's interesting.
All we are is the manifestation of consciousness.
So, and because we've developed an ego, not meaning like an inflated ego, I mean the scientific term ego, which makes us see ourselves as separate.
So when you see a plant coming out from the earth, you know that plant is connected to the earth because it literally came out of the earth.
But because we're walking around and we're not connected literally into the earth, our feet, we can pick them up.
We don't see that.
We literally came out of the fucking earth.
We literally came out of the earth.
We weren't dropped here.
A Martian didn't shit an egg out and we popped out.
That's not how it happened.
We literally came up out of the earth just like a flower, just like a blade of grass.
And the grass doesn't have an ego.
The blade of grass doesn't go, I hope I'm tallest.
I hope I'm the greenest blade of grass.
I hope I look.
So the grass doesn't have, doesn't see itself as separate.
It just does what it does.
It just does what it does.
And so if I wouldn't have accepted my shadow side, my same-sex attraction to Jude Law, I would have been fighting it my whole life and it would have been controlling me and I would be uncomfortable and have anxiety and maybe even be violent.
It would be controlling me.
It's like that Goldwaites Bob Goldwaith joke.
And I can't remember how it goes, but at the end of it, it's about guys who go out and gay bash.
And he got to it very brilliantly.
It's a brilliant piece of material, a joke.
And he gets to the end and he's punching a guy and he reveals that he's really trying to beat the gay that's inside of him.
That's the shadow.
And then you project it.
That's the shadow.
And that's how it can fuck you up.
And we all have it.
We all have these four archetypes also that live in us unconscious because there is a thing called collective unconscious.
We did come out of the earth.
There is no separation.
And we all are just manifest, physical manifestations of consciousness.
That's all we are.
I could talk about this for hours and hours, but separateness is an illusion.
We are not separate.
Just like the hairs on our head are not separate from our body.
Human beings are like different hairs on the earth and we think we're separate.
We're not.
We all come from the same energy.
And we develop this ego, meaning this, which is, again, not what you think.
But it's what makes us think we're separate.
And that's why we have to have a shadow.
It's the shadow side of our ego.
The persona that we create, the ego or the persona has an opposite.
What else do I want to say about this right now?
And all your problems can be, can go all your personality type, you know, if you're like a, like, for instance, the most easiest one to, a people pleasers, right?
How do you develop, how do you become a people pleaser?
Well, it's from the shadow.
So when you're young, you literally don't know that there's an there's a separation between you and your mother.
You're just one, right?
Until about the age of two.
And then because you're constantly looking towards your mother, a baby recognizes their mother's face or mother's voice and totally needs the attention from the mother or the primary caregiver.
And so what happens is when you start to, you want to please your primary caregiver because you want the attention that your primary caregiver gives you, your mother, let's just say your mother.
It's hardwired into you to need a connection with your mother because you need that stability, safety, and you also then need approval.
And so you're hardwired to seek approval from your primary caregiver, your mother.
So when you do something that your mother approves of and smiles, you do more of it because that makes you, because your mother's happiness makes you happy.
Your mother is giving you attention.
And then you've learned you make her happy.
You're going to get that back.
And that's how, so when that's how people, but when that gets out of whack, you become a people pleaser and a doormat.
And then you, you start to, when your mother doesn't allow you to be yourself and makes you start squelching your own wants, desires, and needs and just who you are as a person.
And you have to start squelching parts of who you are to keep your mother happy.
Because the most important thing in you in your world is your connection to your mother and your security and safety.
And if your mother shows you disapproval constantly, You're going to keep figuring out ways to get it.
And so that's how you become a pleaser and you deny your own wants.
And that actually feels good.
That actually makes people pleasers happy when someone else is happy and denying their own wants and desires.
Now, that's destructive.
That if you do that all the time, you become a doormat and that's self-destructive and you never get to live the life that you want to live.
You're always doing what someone else wants to.
But it is helpful in certain situations to be like that because we all have it in us.
What do you mean?
Well, when you have company over, when you have a guest over for dinner, right?
Now, I've been having people over for dinner now for a long time in my life, right?
I love having people over for dinner.
Why?
Because I like cooking and serving them and seeing the happiness on their face.
People I like, people that I love who are in my life, my close friends and family, I like pleasing them.
It makes me happy.
It's the same kind of brain pattern of when you're a baby with your mother.
I like pleasing people.
But for instance, and to a big degree.
So when someone comes over to my house, I'll be like, can I get you anything?
Can I do something for you?
Can I get you a drink?
Do you want some food?
How about have my favorite chair?
Because right now, my comfort is secondary because your comfort is primary.
I'm like your servant, and your happiness makes me happier than my physical comfort.
I'm willing to endure physical discomfort if it makes you happy.
That's the psychological process.
So that, and so even to the point where I've had people at my house and they'll go, oh, it's too hot in here.
And so I'll turn down the heat.
I'll be a little colder myself so they'll be happy.
So I'll put myself through physical pain for someone else's physical pleasure if I know it makes them happy because their happiness actually makes me happier than my own physical pleasure.
That's the same psychology in a BDSM sex with submissives.
They just sexualize that.
They sexualize that.
They sublimate their own wants and desires for someone else's wants and desires.
And if they're happy, then they're happy.
But you have to keep it, if you can do it in those situations, that it's healthy.
Right?
Because you're discovering those other sites, parts of your psyche, and that brings you balance.
Most of the, okay.
So most of the time, I'm a go-getter guy.
I'm an achiever.
I got to get this.
I need this.
Give me this.
I'm demanding this.
But when someone comes over to my house as a guest, I then become the opposite.
I become the people pleaser.
Whatever you want makes me happy, whatever you want.
And I only do that in certain situations, like when I have company.
If I did that 24 hours a day, I'd become a doormat.
So the ability to do that when I want to and then draw a hard boundary after, that's how when you're healthy and you have healthy individuation, meaning you can be yourself, and now I can decide not to please you, right?
I'm making that decision.
So when you come to my house as a guest for dinner, I make the conscious decision, I'm going to please you.
And me pleasing you will give me more happiness than me actually trying to please myself.
Do you follow?
And so we all do with aversion, but if so, and then that's healthy because now I'm activating the other part of my psyche that I don't put forward most of the time.
So most of the time, I'm this fucking aggressive guy who gets shit done and it's making things happen.
I need this.
I need that.
I'm going to do that.
But there's also another part of my psyche that needs to please and serve that I don't normally put forward in my everyday life.
So I'll take time out and when I have guests, I'll do that.
And that brings me balance.
Okay, so that as and that brings, so that's how you can have balance.
And I can control when I'm being a people pleaser.
I can control when I'm being a servant to someone for my own pleasure.
I'm being a servant for my own pleasure, turns out.
Someone else's pleasure, happiness is actually my pleasure because I've decided it in this certain situation, which we all do that.
We all do that.
And so that's the psychology also, again, I said, behind submissive sexuality.
They can turn off their brain, stop thinking your happiness is my happiness, and I can contain it in this little box.
I don't do that in the rest of my life.
I don't run around.
I don't go to a restaurant.
Can I get you something?
Can I help out?
No, I let someone else serve me.
So, and that, and then as and that all has to do with individuation.
So then I can choose.
So my unconscious isn't driving me to be a people pleaser in all other situations.
I can acknowledge when I like to be a people pleaser, which is the shadow to my aggressive ego side that I put towards the world most of the time.
I can acknowledge I have this people pleaser part of me, this urge to please people, and I can then play with it.
I can then explore it.
And that gives me balance.
Me accepting my same sex attraction to Jude Law gave me balance.
I didn't have to push it down.
I can individuate.
I could accept who I was without fearing the loss of the love of my community or my primary caregiver or my family.
Because a lot of people, when they come out and say they're gay, they lose that.
And so then they don't have balance and they have constant anxiety and resentment.
Well, I didn't have that because I accepted that part of my, that dark side, the shadow side, my heterosexual forward side, I accepted that shadow side.
That part I would normally feel shame over.
That would be shamed by my family or my community and all that stuff.
I accepted it.
And so consequently, I'm not fucked up that way.
I'm not homophobic.
As much as I maybe would have been, there are probably still parts of me that might be a little.
Like the reason why, like I was just talking about all this prostating, I'm like, how come I didn't know?
I mean, how come the idea of having a prostate orgasm or massage, why does that, why is the initial idea of that repulsive to me?
And I think it's because of the culture homophobia.
Like anybody who sticks, any guy who sticks anything in their ass for sexual pleasure is a homosexual.
And I realized that's probably what it is.
And that's ridiculous.
That's, that's just, that's, that's me shaming a part of me, my curiosity, my normal curiosity, because of I, I, I want to fit in with the culture.
I've internalized that.
So this is all very, and the shadow work is the one you probably know the least about because it's the one people don't want to do the most.
You mean, I'm going to go to pay you so I could find out the fucking shittiest parts of myself actually exist.
The thing that I hate the most in other people is actually in me.
I don't want to pay you for that.
So that's, this is the work most people don't do.
Most, nobody wants to find out that they can, they actually can be a Nazi.
And you got to, So that's the story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, by the way.
So Dr. Jekyll didn't acknowledge his shadow, so his shadow took over his life and it had horrible consequences, right?
That's the story.
He didn't acknowledge his shadow.
He had this murderous fucking rage inside of him.
So that's the short shorthand.
That's how it goes shorthand.
And then, of course, people who are fully awake, like people like Eckhart Tolle and, you know, certain enlightened people, people who are enlightened, they don't have to worry about any of this stuff because they completely transcend the ego and the shadow.
They see their physical form as not being who they truly are because it isn't who we truly are.
We're temporarily taking on a physical form.
We're actually just the consciousness energy.
And we come into being and we go back out of being.
There is no death.
There is no death.
We're just pure energy.
We are just energy condensed to a slow vibration.
That's all we are.
And as you know from physics, energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
It can only change forms.
So the energy that's in me has always been here since the fucking Big Bang.
The energy that's moving my mouth and my fingers right now has always been here, has always been here.
So it means I've always been here.
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
It can only change forms.
Death is not the opposite of life.
Death is the opposite of birth.
There is no opposite to life.
Life is forever, eternal, everlasting.
There is no opposite to life.
When you die, you don't die.
This physical form dies, but that's not who you are.
And enlightened people know that.
So they don't get caught up in the ego or the shadow.
They've transcended it.
They've transcended their ego.
And that's what happens when people take mushrooms or acid or DMT.
They transcend their ego and they see that they're not who they thought they were at all and that there is no separation.
It's a joke.
So that's where we are.
And then you have to say, oh, really?
So then why do I have to worry about anything?
Well, you have to be in the world, but not of it.
And that means you have to have one foot in the spiritual world where your true essence is and one foot in the physical world.
And it's the perfect balance.
You have to, while you're here, have compassion for human beings taking on physical form, but know that it's a perfectly fucking, so there's suffering in the world, and you should try to alleviate suffering when you can.
You should be compassionate.
But if you look, if you took a microscope and you put it inside your skin, it would look like a war zone, right?
All the T cells and fighting, all the viruses and the white corpuscles and the white blood cells and all that, everything's fighting constantly.
But if you pull out a little farther from inside of your skin, if you pull out your field of vision a little farther, it looks like a perfectly well-regulated organism.
Look at how it's just perfectly taken care of itself.
So if that's the same thing with the earth, if you're in it, you look around and see all the suffering and the war and the killing and destruction.
It looks hard.
But if you pull back a little bit farther, it's a perfectly well-regulating organism.
Self-regulating.
So, but while you're here, while you're here and you see suffering, try to bring compassion.
