Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hello, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
This is Hillary Supporter.
Oh, wow.
Hi, Hillary Supporter.
We haven't heard from you in a while.
Well, yes, I've been very busy.
Oh, with work?
Um, no, I am unable to work.
Thank you.
I've been very busy with managing my anxiety, if you must know.
You worried about getting COVID?
I hear you.
No, actually.
Since, because of other unrelated anxiety problems, I'm rarely able to leave my apartment and I wear a mask for comfort and self-soothing.
The fact that everybody else is also quarantined and wearing masks makes it so my condition is less unique and I'm receiving much less sympathy and validation online for my uniqueness than I am accustomed to and that is causing me great anxiety.
I see.
I'm sorry to hear that, Hillary supporter.
I hope you die.
Why are you calling Hillary supporter?
I am calling because for once I am thankful.
Oh, really?
For what?
For Joe Biden and his staff of badass bitches who will get shit done.
That's what.
Especially Nira Tan.
Really?
Yes.
If we can't have Hillary in the White House, at least we can have a fierce Clinton loyalist in there.
Somebody who put loyalty to the Clinton dynasty above all else, including party and this stupid, stupid country.
I see.
I see.
If we have to have another dumb man president, at least it will be gentleman Joe Biden.
He will be surrounded by powerful women of color.
So finally there will be respect for bodily autonomy in the White House again.
Bodily autonomy?
Nira Tandon punched a reporter for asking Hillary Clinton about the Iraq war.
Oh, walk it off, pussy.
What?
Hillary supporter?
I'm serious.
Some stupid journalist has no business interrogating Hillary about her record, least of all the Iraq war.
What was that, like 20 years ago?
Get over it.
A million dead Iraqis, whatever.
Get over it.
Ancient history.
No.
Just no.
Wow.
Okay.
But the real reason I'm excited is that Neera is the nemesis, the nemesista, if you will, of Bernie fucking Sanders.
She helped make sure that he didn't get the nomination.
She's the one.
And he has to face her.
Yes, you are correct.
She helped subvert our democracy.
That is true.
Excuse me.
She saved our democracy.
Which sucks, by the way.
We should be a matriarchy.
Anyway, he's going to have to vote to confirm her.
Or else.
Or else what?
I mean, he's probably going to vote for her, but still.
Oh, I can't wait.
At her Senate confirmation hearing and that strong, beautiful voice of hers, she will confront Bernie about all his crimes.
That's not what happens at a Senate confirmation hearing.
Oh, honey, you just don't get it, do you?
Your old white man ways of doing things are over.
Women aren't going to just sit around and be told to be quiet anymore.
Neera is going to stand up and call Bernie out as a racist and a misogynist.
Everyone will cheer, and then she will be confirmed.
Sorry, but your reign of terror is over.
No offense, but you are extremely deluded, Hillary supporter.
Thank you.
And then Nira will vote him out of the Senate.
She can't do that.
Only the voters of Vermont can do that.
Excuse me.
Never tell a strong woman of color that she can't accomplish something.
The vote of one strong woman of color is worth millions of stupid white people of Vermont votes.
Everybody knows this.
Sorry, you live in the medieval times or whatever.
Okay, then.
And then she's going to coronate Hillary.
Look, we don't have a queen in this country, Hillary supporter.
Yeah, yet.
Okay.
Well, thanks for walking us through your fantasy world, Hillary supporter.
But I'm afraid this is no longer informative for our audience.
Excuse me.
It is not my job to educate you.
It is my job to speak truth, no matter how untethered from reality it may be.
I'm glad you're looking forward to the corporatist hellscape that will be the Biden administration.
Good.
Yeah, great.
I love it.
Hillary loves corporations, so so do I. It's called brand loyalty, and it's a virtue.
Bye, idiot.
Nicely done.
I missed you, Hillary supporter.
Fuck you.
Establishment media sets on its fighting.
So good luck.
Bullshit we can't afford.
Life 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 Dore Show.
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to this week's Jimmy Dore Show.
Let's get to the jokes before we get to the jokes, shall we?
Hey, you know, just because humanity is waging a suicidal war on nature, that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the first month of Netflix free if you sign up now.
FYI, President Barack Obama just completed the...
the purchase of his 11.75 million dollar waterfront home that's my favorite community organizer just purchased an 11.75 million dollar waterfront home on martha's vineyard boy those 10 years of telling brothers to pull up their pants really paid off hey did you see this morning senate majority leader mitch mcconnell choked up and shed a few tears while bidding farewell to his friend retiring senator
Lamar Alexander.
McConnell's tears were then gathered up in a time capsule and forever enshrined within Nancy Reagan's bat-filled womb.
You know, I'm grateful to the universe for eventually crashing in on itself and crushing everyone who owns a Range Rover.
Hey, what's coming up on today's Jimmy Dore show?
Well, House progressives can force a vote on Medicare for all.
Wait, what?
Yes, really.
And we need your help.
force a vote on medicare for all the answer just may surprise you or will it plus joe biden is picking his cabinet we find out that compulsive liar and warmonger neara Tandon is the perfect choice for Biden's administration.
Plus, Nancy Pelosi is pushing a stimulus plan that is half of what Trump was offering before the election.
Barack Obama complains about sloppy slogans.
That's right.
Mr. Hope and Change will tell you why the problem with society is the Black Lives Matter's messaging strategy.
Plus, we got phone calls today from Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Chuck Schumer, and Hillary supporter, plus a lot lot more.
That's today on the Jimmy Door Show.
I have got an actual plan to get us a vote on Medicare for all in the House of Representatives.
What?
All that is required to get a vote on Medicare for all in the House of Representatives is for 15 congressional progressives to use their power.
Will they?
Because America needs Medicare for all right now.
Okay?
We're in the middle of a pandemic.
As people are losing their employment, they also lose their health care.
This doesn't happen in any other first world industrial country on the planet.
And just so you know, what is happening right now, the government denying you health care in the middle of a pandemic, this is not normal.
No matter what they say, this is not acceptable or normal.
Congress just gave trillions of dollars to the top billionaires, subsidizing Wall Street's frenzy of profiteering while millions of families are on the financial brink.
Not only does America need Medicare for all, America wants Medicare for all.
You think I'm kidding?
There it is.
The solution is one of the most popular policies in the nation.
One of the most popular policies of the nation, which is supported by overwhelming majorities of Democratic Party voters and supported by the majority of Republican Party voters.
Yet the Democratic Party majority speaker of the House has never put Medicare for all on the floor for a vote.
Who do they really work for?
And now Democrats have nominated Nancy Pelosi to be the Speaker of the House again without a challenge.
To win the House Speakership, Pelosi needs to secure the majority of the full House.
The House votes the first week of January.
This is our leverage.
Now is our time.
It's our time now.
I call upon all elected House members, all the members who ran on Medicare for all, and for all the members who are part of the Progressive Caucus in Congress, all the members of the squad.
What we need to do now is we need to work together as a movement.
What do we need?
We need 15 Democrats.
That's all we need.
15 Democrats to tell Nancy Pelosi that you will not vote for her as Speaker unless Medicare for all is put on the House floor for a vote.
That's it.
It's really that simple.
Now is the time for progressives to exercise their power, play hardball, and use their power for the benefit of their constituents.
Pramilla J. Pell's Medicare for All legislation, House Resolution 1384.
I want you to tell Nancy Pelosi to put that legislation on the floor for a vote.
Make Pelosi promise on video, in writing, or in public that she's going to do that.
No vote for Nancy Pelosi unless Medicare for All is put on the House floor for a vote.
There's nearly 100 members of the Progressive Caucus.
There's 100 members.
Look at this.
We only need 15 members to pull this off.
15 members withholding their vote for Nancy Pelosi will show that progressives are willing to exert power to help the people.
Force Nancy Pelosi to show the entire country what's more important to her, putting her own speakership at risk by following donors' orders or getting Americans health care.
This is where you force progressive House members to reveal who they answer to.
Do they answer to their constituents or do they answer to the party bosses?
The progressive caucus, the squad, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayana Presley, Roe Conna, Mark Pocan, Debbie Dingell, Ilhan Omar, Chewy Garcia, Corey Bush, Katie Porter, Jamal Ballman, Rashida Tlaib, Karen Bass, Jamie Raskin, Marie Newman, and Barbara Lee.
That's all we need.
We need progressive voters to push every one of them.
If you voted for them, please ask them: are you fighters or are you careerists?
Are you activists for the people or are you posers on Twitter?
Is healthcare just a carrot to dangle in front of voters so you can win your next election?
Or are you going to fight for it?
Here's your chance.
People's lives hang in the balance.
And I call on everybody in independent media to join this mission.
You want a solution?
You want an idea?
You want a new thought on how we can handle this problem?
Here it is.
And everybody who has come after me with bad faith attacks, I forgive you.
Join me in Medicare for All.
Join me in this.
Anybody I've gone after who sincerely wants to see Medicare for All enacted, forgive me.
We need to work together.
I take no ownership of this.
We do this together.
This is beyond just our YouTube channels or whatever.
We must realize that this is not a fight over abstract concepts or nuanced ideological differences.
This is Medicare for all.
People's actual lives depend on us doing this.
Workers, young people, mothers, students, our friends, our neighbors, our own families.
We got to call upon progressives Who are elected officials, the elected officials that you helped get elected.
Call upon them with one voice.
No vote for Nancy Pelosi unless Medicare for all is put on the House floor for a vote.
And if we are able to do this, I will take back everything I've ever said about everybody.
I'll put my words in a big pot, pour ketchup on it, and I'll eat them.
But I'm begging you.
Now is not the time to protect your elected officials.
Please pressure the progressive elected officials in Congress to please withhold their vote for a speaker and get us a vote on Medicare for all and make me eat every word I've ever said about the squad and their strategy of pushing the Democratic Party.
I would love to.
Now is the time.
We need to make sure people have health care, not just during a pandemic, but after the pandemic and beyond.
Medicare for all is low-hanging fruit.
You debate Medicare for all on the floor of the House, and Medicare for All wins.
That's why they won't bring it up for a vote.
The progressive movement has been ready to fight this battle, and now is the time to fight this battle.
No vote for Nancy Pelosi until Medicare for All is put on the House floor for a vote.
Make Nancy Pelosi promise on video, in writing, and in public.
Force the Congress to show which side are they really on.
So what happens if Nancy Pelosi has 15 Democrats who are willing to withhold their vote?
Well, she has to say she's going to bring Medicare for all to the floor.
Or she says, I'm still not doing that.
And now a Republican gets elected as the speaker.
So it's up to her.
It's up to her.
Do you give people Medicare for all or do you let the Republicans take over the House?
And this is something the progressives could do.
And I'm urging them to do it.
You want a solution?
Here's your solution.
Here's your chance to actually stand up for the people and get us Medicare for all.
This is a chance to do it.
Are they going to do it?
We're going to see right now which side those progressive elected members of the House are on.
Are they on your side or are they on the side of the establishment?
Do they take orders or do they make demands of power?
Because power concedes nothing without a demand.
And here is where you play hardball.
I'm not voting for Nancy Pelosi as speaker until she promises to bring Medicare for all up on the floor for a vote.
And if that means the Republicans get their order, Speaker, then I'm willing to play that kind of hardball.
Are the progressives willing to do that?
Fingers crossed.
The potential leader of the Senate, Chuck Schumer, is on the phone.
Hello.
Oh, hello, good friend.
New York's premier senator, Chaz Chuck Schumer, at your service.
And am I ever so delighted?
You seem in good spirits, Chuck.
Oh, boy, am I ever.
I've been meeting so many bright-eyed and bushy-tailed public servants today.
Guess who I just Zoomed with?
Yes.
I don't know.
This will knock your pom-pom socks off, Buster.
Blinken and Haynes.
Pretty good, huh?
I just got off Zoom with Tony Blinken and Avril Haines, and it was literally like 40 watts rushed through all three of my nards.
*laughter*
All three of your Nards.
Of my Nords.
Of your Nards.
Hey, Tony Blinklin and Averill Haynes did that.
Oh, yes.
And Haynes is going to be our new Director of National Intelligence.
Can you refresh my memory regarding what exactly is the Director of National Intelligence in relation to everything else?
As everyone knows, Jimmy, the DNI is required by the 9-11 Commission and the 2004 Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Act, or IRTP, to oversee the NIP, NSC, HSC, DHS, DSI, and the CIA.
Keep in mind, this in no way infringes upon the DOD, which still controls the NSA, NRO, and the NGA.
Okay.
If Avril Haynes is the new director of national intelligence, where does she work?
Don't be an asshole, Jimmy.
I know the DNI always works at the ODNI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
It's not good.
*laughter*
But why do you like Avril Haynes so much?
Because only Avril Haynes has what it takes to fill the shoes once worn by John Negroponte and James Clapper.
That's a pretty low bar, Chuck.
Oh, come on, Dr. Downer.
Captain Negative.
Commander say bad things about stuff.
What's the problem now, for goodness sakes?
Avril is an amazing person, one of a kind.
So you don't even, don't you even start.
Why, just for starters, she studied judo in Japan.
And created the legal justification for Obama's drone wars.
She built her own plane and married her flying instructor and literally flew across the Atlantic.
And helped cover up the CIA's torture program.
She opened her own independent bookstore.
And consulted for the company that gave Trump the power to carry out mass deportations.
But she's a woman.
You see, young man, it's your kind of misogyny that's going to rip our country apart.
You know what's happening, right?
The CARES Act, when they passed the CARES Act, that was supposed to help people during COVID when they shut down everyone's business.
They passed the CARES Act.
Now, that had that $1,200 payment to everybody and unemployment insurance, right?
Now, that's what an AOC called crumbs, because that's what it was.
They gave $5 trillion to the richest people in the country, and they gave you $1,200.
And you're still struggling.
And what is the result of that?
This.
Nearly 19 million Americans could lose their homes when the eviction limits expire December 31st.
Hey, Happy New Year.
Thank God 2020 is over.
Am I right?
This is the result of the CARES Act that every progressive voted for, including Bernie Sanders.
Why didn't they vote against it to warn people about what was happening, that there wasn't any relief for people in the CARES Act?
Why didn't they do that?
Because they're all corrupt.
Even the people who don't take corporate money, bend the knee to the people who do because of power.
That's what happened.
Thousands of cars formed lines to collect food in Texas.
That's what happened because of the CARES Act that every progressive voted for.
This is the result.
And Nancy Pelosi wouldn't give people a stimulus before the election.
And now she says this.
Families struggling for months already to keep a roof over their head and to put food on the table can't afford to wait.
They need urgent help right now.
I thought you said we feed them.
What happened to that?
Remember this?
When she was, this is during the, this is the CARES Act.
This is when she was supposed to get, this is when the Democrats had leverage.
This is when the progressives in Congress had leverage because the oligarchs wanted their $5 trillion.
And Nancy Pelosi gave us nothing while she gave them $5 trillion.
She gave us crumbs, according to AOC.
She gave us crumbs and she made every Democrat vote for it.
And they did, including AOC, voted for it.
Anybody who tells you otherwise is a liar.
And do you remember when she was asked about it by Jake Tapper?
Hey, how come you didn't put any funding in there for the state governments and local governments?
And why isn't there any fucking money in there to help people?
What are you doing?
You remember what she said?
So Cuomo says he would have insisted on state funding in the last bill.
And now Senator McConnell is saying he wants to push the pause button.
Was this a tactical mistake by you and Senator Schumer?
Just calm down.
We will have state and local, and we will have it in a very significant way.
Never happened.
Just calm calm.
We're going to have a very fucking way.
She's the speaker of the house.
She can't speak.
Just calm down.
We're going to have relief and we're going to have a and here we are, six months, seven months later, eight months later.
Families struggling for months already.
Yeah, I know.
Remember, you were told that?
So Cuomo says he would have insisted on state funding in the last bill.
And now Senator McConnell is saying he wants to push the pause button.
Was this a tactical mistake by you and Senator Schumer?
Just calm down.
We will have state and local, and we will have it in a very significant way.
It's no use going on to what might have been the administration.
No use in talking about what we actually should have done.
No use talking about our failure.
No, talking about our failure, the way we let down the American people.
Look at Jake Tapper's face.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
Nancy Pelosi now backs a stimulus deal half the size of what the White House offered before the election.
Because she doesn't really want to help you.
But if Trump's name is not on it, maybe you can get a crumb or two.
Thank you.
I wonder if she's only going to eat half an ice cream bar.
In a Wednesday statement with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she supports an economic relief measure presented by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, a bipartisan group.
Thank God.
Bipartisan.
You know what that means?
There's an extra screwing coming your way.
Bipartisan, meaning it's shitty and the Democrats are willing to help sell it.
The bipartisan bill is roughly half the amount offered by the Trump White House during the negotiations with Paul Pelosi before the election.
Jesus.
And don't forget, Democrats also didn't call Steve Mnuchin's bluff, which cost the American people an extra week of stimulus.
If you had Democrats negotiate buying you a house that costs $100,000, by the time the Democrats were done negotiating, that house would cost you $150,000.
Nancy Pelosi is willing to let you starve and lose your house because she doesn't like Donald Trump.
Because to the ruling class, this is all just a game and you are disposable.
She would let you die for her own ego.
In October, President Trump's negotiators raised their compromise offer to $1.8 trillion after House Democrats had approved $2.2 trillion package.
Pelosi opposed the compromise, arguing that it did not go far enough and that the language regarding the government's health care response to the coronavirus pandemic was not sufficient.
Those negotiations resulted in a stalemate and nobody got relief before the election and she lost seats in the House.
On Tuesday, nine senators, four Republicans and four Democrats and one Independent, were joined by the bipartisan problem solvers caucus in the House to unveil a compromise deal.
Although the package does not include nearly as much aid as Democrats pushed for before the election, Pelosi and Schumer said that they were backing this legislation in the spirit of compromise.
And AOC, Rasheed Talib, Bro Conna, they all just voted for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker.
And here's what she wouldn't do for people.
The president does not want to legislate and just want to have his name on a check.
That ain't going to happen.
So the bailout she engineered, this is what it did.
The COVID-19 bailout, the CARES Act, gave Wall Street a no-lose casino while it gave you crumbs.
March 26, 2020, the House voted on the CARES Act.
This is what Nancy Pelosi said to the people to get them to vote for it, the Democrats.
She said, whatever concerns we may have and whatever we want to do next, right now, we're going to pass this legislation because Wall Street wants their fucking check and they're getting it.
So whatever big plans you have about helping people or getting them health care or mortgage relief or whatever the fuck, we're not doing that.
We're doing this.
And we're doing this right fucking now before anybody catches on to what we're doing.
That's why they did it so fast.
Nancy Pelosi, I don't think Democrats want a new direction.
So right now, the progressives in Congress can withhold their vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker when it comes in January.
And they can force her to give us a vote for Medicare for all.
They can force her.
Now, nine out of 10 Democrats support Medicare for all, and most Republicans, Republican voters.
So now would be the time to pass Medicare for all or have a voter for it.
So they could do that.
They could say, Nancy Pelosi, we're withholding our vote unless you agree to have a vote on Medicare for All.
And if you don't, we're not going to vote for you.
And then Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker and you lose a speakership.
It's up to you.
That's how you play hardball.
So if the progressives are going to ask you to vote for them and then they're going to go to Congress and not do that, there's no point to vote for them.
But I want them to make me eat my words.
I hope AOC makes me eat my words.
Make me do it.
Go ahead.
Force Nancy Pelosi to pass Medicare for all.
Hey, Joe Biden's on the line.
Wow.
Hello.
Hey, man.
This Joe Biden is.
I broke my foot.
What's that?
I broke my damn foot.
It's time to heal.
How did you break your foot?
Oh, come on, man.
I don't remember.
Well, can you try to remember?
Okay.
I woke up in my sleeping thing yesterday and went, ow.
That's all I know.
Oh, wait.
That's not it.
I was rigorously exercising with my dog, Major, and I broke my foot somehow.
My motorcade instantly took me to a foot doctor where I got some x-rays in a CAD scan, and they put me in a boot.
It's time to heal my foot for my compound fractures to come together.
We can get through this.
Well, that's good that you got to see a doctor immediately.
I know.
I'm fighting for all shareholders to have equal access to motorcades and foot doctors.
That's why I picked her someone picked for me.
I can't fucking remember anymore.
That's why I picked Tyranandon as director of the Office of Mangleman and Fudge.
It's Nara Tandon, and it's the Office of Management and Budget.
Come on, stop it, man.
It's fudge.
No, no, okay, but she's a warmonger who wants to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Why on earth did you have to pick her?
Because she's a warmonger who wants to cut Social Security and Medicare.
Yeah, we know.
It's time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, and listen to each other again.
Dira Randon is just the person to do that.
She's exactly the opposite of that, Joe.
Stop dividing us.
I've assembled the most diverse group of females to ever be cynically displayed for political purposes.
Hey, man, I broke my foot playing with my dog, Champ.
Hey, how much did the motorcade to the doctor cost?
Fudge!
No, come on.
How much did the motorcade cost?
Thousands of fudge.
And the x-rays?
2,500 clams.
And the CT scan.
$11,000.
We're all in this together.
Wow, you have to be more careful at your age, Joe.
Hey, man, I was playing with my dog, Major Ranger.
E-I-E-I-O.
Are you all right, Joe?
I have no fucking idea.
Jill told me to say that.
You think I'm the one with cognitive problems?
She's the one riding all my shit.
Don't you worry, fat.
Joe's going to bring the situation room into the boardroom and the dining room into the foyer.
And the parlor into the basement.
And the laundry room into the attic.
E-I-E-I-O.
Hey, keep the faith.
Guess what?
Joe Biden is naming Naratandon to his cabinet, to the Office of Budget.
And she's really excited about being the first woman of color to be nominated because that's a really big deal.
And I have been nominating for this position as a woman of color.
I mean, why would you, on purpose, talk like that?
I am the CEO of something very important think tank.
You know, every time I do hear her speak, I often think it's a joke.
As soon as you, and I know, I think you have a couple clips here today.
Look at that.
Even that picture just screams, hey, I know, right?
I'm totally not qualified.
By the way, Naratandon is Biden's latest middle finger to the left.
Joe Biden has picked Naritandon, a fierce critic of Bernie Sanders and the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, to head the Office of Management and Budget.
The move is just the latest sign that Biden will govern from the center right, offering nothing to the left.
The center right?
That's the right.
That's straight up corporation right-wing bullshit.
And by the way, Naritandon is worse than a middle finger to the left.
She's an eviction notice.
She's a kick to the groin.
And before you know it, all your stuff is on fire.
Naratandon has made it her life's work to make sure you can't have the basic necessities of life that other countries take for granted.
That's what Nira Tandon, that's what she spent her whole life doing, denying you basic services that the rest of the world takes for granted.
and I And just so you know who she is.
So who is Narutandon?
So here's why they want to kill Julian Assange because he reveals their war crimes.
So this is an email from Faz Shakur, who was Bernie Sanders' old campaign manager.
This is before he was Bernie's campaign manager, and they were all working together.
Bernie got his campaign manager.
Isn't that hilarious?
Oh, fuck.
So this is when they're all working together.
And she was very pro-Naritandon was pro-Libyan war, right?
She was for the illegal invasion.
And watch what else she was for.
So this is Faz Shakur.
He says, I don't think it's fair that we create our own domestic problems and then we ask other nations to pay for it.
You see the adverse incentive problem here, right?
If we think we can make money off an incursion, we'll do it.
That's a serious policy messaging moral problem for our foreign policy, I think.
So he's responding to Naritandon, who said this about what we should do in Libya with their oil.
She said, and we've reported this before, which is why Nira Tandon then tweets bad faith attacks at us, because we revealed her, and this is what we revealed.
She advocated for stealing Libya's oil.
And here's how she said it.
She said, we have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil.
Most Americans would choose not to engage in the world because of that deficit.
Engage in the world.
That's code speak for bomb the shit out of poor brown countries and steal their natural resources.
Engage in the world.
So like, well, we engaged in Iraq.
We engaged in Afghanistan.
We engaged in Somalia.
We engaged in the, we engage.
This is what they call engaging, bombing the shit out of poor people who can't defend themselves and then stealing their natural resources.
So she says most Americans would choose not to engage in the world because of our deficit.
If we want to continue to engage in the world, bomb brown people and steal their shit, gestures like having oil-rich countries partially pay us back doesn't seem crazy to me.
So what she's saying is let's make, let's make Libya pay us for invading them and overturning their government and stealing their shit.
Let's make Libya pay us for invading them and turning their country into a failed state with open slave markets.
Let's make them pay us for doing that for them.
So what she's doing is she's advocating a war crime.
That's what Niratandon is.
That's who Joe Biden is.
Joe Biden, they did Libya.
Do you now get it?
So there it is.
That's what these things say.
So she says we have a giant deficit.
They have a lot of oil.
Most Americans would choose not to engage in the world because of that deficit.
If we want to continue to engage in the world, gestures like having oil-rich countries, Libya, Iraq, Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan, Samad, you just keep naming them.
Let's make them pay.
Who else says that?
Besides Joe Biden's labor.
Bomb the oil, take the oil.
Bomb the oil, take the oil.
Just take it, right?
I've been saying that for four years, and they were saying, oh, that would be.
In fact, Obama put some general on television saying, no, that wouldn't work.
Why wouldn't it work?
ISIS is making its money from the oil and some bad banking stuff, too, which the rebels were.
But I'll tell you what, I'm only interested in Libya if we take the oil.
If we don't take the oil, I have no interest in Libya.
So your Middle East policy is basically guided by our interest in oil.
My lip Middle East, which are probably, I always heard that.
I always heard that when we went into Iraq, we went in for the oil.
I said, that sounds smart.
Except we never did.
Look, Nira Tandon's email came to life.
The president said, let's take their oil in Libya.
Just what she advocated.
Isn't that amazing?
Donald Trump and her have the exact same foreign policy.
Isn't that awesome?
They're just the same kind of crazy maniac war criminals.
Isn't that awesome?
You just voted that out.
Oh, I mean, you voted it in.
For four years, Neera Tandon's spirit animal was President Trump.
The difference between Trump and Nira Tandon is she keeps it in the emails she hopes nobody sees.
He just says it on television, which is why they hate him.
Oh, by the way, executions, tortures, and slave markets persist in Libya.
That's from the UN.
That's what we did.
That's what she advocated for.
That's what Donald Trump advocated for.
That's what Joe Biden did.
Joe Biden did this.
Him, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama.
Tandon is a close ally of Hillary Clinton.
The Center for American Progress, which Tandon leads, the Center for American Progress, was founded by John Podesta, a key figure in the Clinton machine.
And can I just say the nicest thing I can say about John Podesta is that he didn't start a pedophile ring in Washington, D.C. That's the nicest thing I can say about him.
John Podesta, a key figure in the Clinton machine, the head of the Center for American Progress, which now Nira Tandon is the head of.
Podesta is the chairman of Hillary's 2016 campaign, and he previously served as the chief of staff under Bill Clinton.
With his brother Tony, John Podesta also co-founded the Podesta Group, a public affairs firm that has lobbied for Saudi Arabia among other countries.
So that's who these people are.
And now when WikiLeaks revealed that even inside Hillary Clinton's campaign, Nira Tandon thought Hillary Clinton was nuts and a horrible candidate.
So they revealed this.
Those WikiLeaks emails revealed it, which is why Hillary Clinton wants to kill Julian Assange.
Same thing with Neera Tandon.
And watch Chris Cuobo asks her about that.
And watch how she sounds just like Trump.
Specifically, one of the ones that you wrote, put up the email.
Her inability to just do a national interview and communicate genuine feelings of remorse and regret is now, I fear, becoming a character problem.
Now, this is interesting to hear that inside, you guys were having the same discussion that people were having outside.
So I was saying the same thing about Hillary Clinton in 2016 as they were saying inside.
And people were attacking me for saying it.
But it turns out they were saying the exact same thing inside her campaign.
And now he's going to ask her about that.
Hey, why?
So what happened when you said these things to Podesta and others?
Where did you guys come to a conclusion about why Clinton had such a hard time just owning that she did something wrong with the email server?
You know, I know that Russia and other forces would love us to have a debate.
This is exactly what they want.
They want us to have a debate about the internal structure of Hillary's campaign, what's true, what's not true.
And I'm just not going to play that.
I'm sorry.
The reality here is that, as Marco Review said, we have a Russian government, the Russian government, a foreign government trying to essentially impact this election.
But Nira.
Using, and I'm sorry, Chris, using the American media to do that.
And so any email I sent was personal from my personal account to someone else's personal account.
I'm not on the campaign.
I was an informal outside advisor with my own thoughts.
And so, honestly, I'm just telling you right now, Chris, that the reality of this is that I think Marco Rubio is right about this, that people should not be using this as weaponizing the emails or personal emails of anyone and sending Conway to Dave Bossey.
You would be giving me all your deepest thoughts about it right now.
You don't like it because it's your email.
You're ducking it.
You're not having high ground.
Chris, that's absolutely false.
I actually would not be doing that.
And you can see in other areas where emails have been used on any other issue, I've taken the same position.
Well, when his taxes came out, the Clinton campaign couldn't stop talking about them, right?
Those were leaked.
Was that technically that?
Oh, yeah.
Actually, that is a really important point, Chris.
I agree with you.
These emails were not leaked.
They were leaving.
What's the difference how they come out?
That's a separate issue.
The emails say what they said.
You just said leaked.
I know.
I'll say it again.
Leaked.
But what I'm saying is that they weren't leaked.
It is not a separate issue.
How this happened was a foreign government.
And you don't listen to me.
Listen to Marco Rubio.
No, I know.
And our intelligence agencies.
I understand that they were hacked, but you have to understand.
Not just to me, but to the outside.
Your emails are what they are.
Now, if you say, I never said this, that's something different.
If this isn't me, I didn't write that.
Then that's a legitimate basis.
But otherwise, it just seems like you're ducking it because you don't want to own what you said.
Boy, when Chris Cuomo can dismantle you, that's like Barry Weiss on Joe Rogan.
When Chris Cuomo can destroy you that easily.
You said Tody.
You said Tony.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Look it up.
Jamie, look it up.
Did I say Tody?
I love what Chris Cuobo said.
You're just dodging it.
If you said it didn't say that, that's one thing.
But you did say it, right?
Narutandon, by the way, has the personality of a stapler.
Let me just put it that way.
So here's Neritandon coming at Jelena Sons.
Now, I already showed you that she's a war criminal, right?
She advocates for war crimes.
That's Neritandon.
Soon to be in Joe Biden's cabinet.
Neeratandon says there are many cultists on this site, but the Assange cultists are the worst.
Assange was the agent of a proto-fascist state, Russia, to undermine democracy.
That is fascist behavior.
Anyone on the left should abhor what he did, not celebrate it.
No, no, Nara, you are the fascist.
We already revealed that.
And the reason why you hate Julian Assange is because he exposed your fascism.
That's your problem.
Breaking Iraqi parliament votes to remove U.S. troops from Iraq.
She tweets out which entities want American troops totally removed from Iraq, Iran and ISIS.
So she's always pro-war.
Did you catch on this?
Oh, if you're for us pulling out of Iraq, you must be on the side of ISIS.
Do you see the kind of person she is?
And here's, she's in lockstep with Bill Kristol.
He says serious conservatives, responsible moderates, and hard-headed liberals should want a tough-minded OMB head.
OMB is where cabinet secretaries' ill-considered projects go to die, where programs are evaluated, where trade-offs are made.
Naratandon is the right person for the job.
Wow.
Reminder that Bill Kristol and the neocons are always wrong about everything.
Congress should investigate Naritandon's ties to foreign governments, especially to the United Arab Emirates, which gave Tandon's organization millions of dollars year after year during its war with Yemen.
What was that money buying?
Here's Nira Tandon.
This is, she did this a week before the election.
She tweets this out that this letter has been written by so many I admired, including John LeCare, Oz Cuttery, and Tom Holland.
It's a tragedy.
Labor's anti-Semitism problem should have been rooted out long ago.
So she's pretending that Jeremy Corby, so there she is undermining progressives.
That's what that is.
She's smearing them as anti-Semites.
That's what she does.
Never forget that as Naritandin spent the last few months hysterically browbeating everyone on the left to vote for Joe Biden because lesser evilism, she posted this just four days before the UK's general election.
These vile ghouls have no principles, only interests.
These vile ghouls have no principles, only interests.
Think progress to unionize with Writers' Guild of America.
Why is that?
Why are you telling me about this, Jimmy?
Think Progress.
You remember that news site, Think Progress?
I do.
Think Progress was run by the Center for American Progress.
The Center for American Progress is run by Nera Tandon.
Nera Tandon shut down Think Progress because they formed a union.
That's who Nira Tandon is.
The Center for Progress.
Center for American Progress shut down Think Progress, their news site after they joined the union.
Neratand also disbanded Think Progress after they unionized.
Haven't seen that mentioned in her laundry list of terrible behavior.
Well, we just mentioned it.
Thank you, Alan.
Hey, by the way, statement of third way president.
You know that organization Third Way.
Well, they're for Naritandon.
The statement of Third Way President John Cowen on the new Biden administration personnel announcements.
He says, if press reports are accurate, the president-elect continues to build a White House team of enormous talent and diversity.
Nera Tandon, a fellow think tank president, will be a fantastic OMP director.
She is a battle-tested policy expert who is widely respected for her passion and intelligence.
She's a fascist.
She wants to prosecute journalists for doing journalism, and she wants to steal natural resources from poor brown countries.
That's what she wants to do.
That's who she is.
Of course, the third way likes her.
Do you know who the third way Democrats are?
Here's the third, the ideas that Wall Street Democrats at Third Way have pushed.
Here's who the third way Democrats are: third way, the third way.
They oppose the $15 an hour minimum wage.
They are for cuts to Social Security.
They're for Wall Street deregulation.
They're for the TPP and job-killing trade deals.
They're for opposition to Medicare drug price negotiations.
That's who the third way is.
The third way refers to another method helping Democrats loot.
That's all it is.
So the third way's idea is: let's be weak.
Let's be pretentious.
Wait, I have a third way.
Let's just be exactly the same as our opponents.
That's the third way.
How Nira Tandon works.
You want to know how Niratandon works?
She works surrounded by flies, feeding off the souls of children.
That's my guess.
That's how she works.
By the way, here's some more.
Here's some more.
WikiLeaks reveals.
Oh, this isn't Dan from Podesta's emails.
Wow.
They talk about how they influence the press.
That's what this is about.
How when you watch the news or read an article, you think it's the, no, the journalists are in bed with the politicians, and that's what this reveals.
And especially at the bottom, he also thinks the brown women brown, he also thinks the brown, meaning brown people, and women, pundits, can shame the New York Times and others on social media.
So cultivating people like Joan Walsh, Matt Ingleses, Inglesias, Perry Bacon, Greg Sargent, to defend her is helpful.
Defend who?
Hillary.
That's who they were cultivating to defend Hillary Clinton.
This is what this also reveals.
This is Nira Tandon saying this.
Neeratandon said Brown and women pundits can shame the New York Times and others on social media.
So cultivating Joan Walsh.
So that's this is what she's saying.
She's saying, let's smear people and try to make them uncomfortable for telling the truth about Hillary Clinton.
That's what that is.
So let's run a false narrative.
Let's try to pressure the New York Times and then we'll work.
These are the journalists we can work.
Joan Walsh, Maggie Glace.
Oh, that's what we can get.
They can be emboldened for what it's worth.
I pushed PR to do this a year ago.
Biden picks budget director who pushed social security cuts.
That's Nira Tandon.
And here she is advocating for entitlement.
The viewer here wants you to take us deeper into entitlements by Twitter.
Ms. Tandon, do you know what the president means when he says entitlements are on the table?
Any specifics and anything you would endorse?
Yeah, I mean, so there are a range of entitlements that, you know, I think when we're talking about entitlements, we're talking about Medicare, so security, Medicaid.
These are programs that Those are programs that taxpayers have paid into their entire lives.
Okay, just so you know.
Yeah, that people receive support because of the status that they have.
So after 65, you get funding from Social Security and Medicare.
And actually, it's going getting older for Social Security.
But and, you know, the president has 300 billion dollars in his budget in cuts and Medicare.
That comes on top of cuts.
And she's bragging about it.
That they have $300 million in cuts to Medicare.
Did you hear that?
His budget in cuts in Medicare.
And, you know, the president has $300 billion in his budget in cuts in Medicare.
She said $300 billion.
It's cuts in Medicare.
And she's bragging about it.
Again, they're not entitlements.
They're programs American taxpayers have paid into their entire lives.
Denying you things like Social Security and health care in your old age, that's not taking away entitlements.
It's stealing from you.
So there she is advocating for cutting, she's advocating for cutting Medicare and Social Security entitlements.
Here's her boss doing the same thing.
Senator, we have a deficit.
We have Social Security and Medicare looming.
The number of people on Social Security and Medicare is now 40 million people.
It's going to be 80 million in 15 years.
Would you consider looking at those programs, age of eligibility, cost of living, put it all in the process?
Absolutely.
Look, the American people aren't stupid.
One of the things that my, you know, the political advisors say to me is, whoa, don't touch that third.
Look, the American people aren't stupid.
It's a real simple proposition.
We have to do.
You and I were talking about.
This is his longest way of saying we have to cut Social Security and Medicare.
That's what he goes into this long story about how we have to all protect each other when we cut Social Security and Medicare.
As COVID cases spike, Joe Biden hires Neera Tandon, who questioned the CDC recommendations not to congregate in large groups and pushed in-person voting in March.
She quickly reversed her position when Belief in Science advantaged her chosen candidate.
But that's Neera Tandon encouraging people to go vote during COVID.
And then over here, it's her saying, look, they're willing to have people die to go vote when it served her.
So it's complete flip-flop.
She's willing to sacrifice people's lives whenever it serves her politically.
The Center for American Progress staff was shocked after Nera Tandon named the anonymous harassment victim in an all-staff meeting.
So Joe Biden ended the hashtag MeToo movement.
I don't know if you realize that, but it's over.
And Joe Biden ended that because he had a credible accusation and everybody just ignored it.
Completely credible and everybody just ignored it.
And there was a woman who made a sexual harassment charge at the Center for American Progress.
And Neera Tandon outed her.
Not supposed to do that.
The meeting comes after BuzzFeed News reported on allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation against those who reported at the progressive organization.
People audibly gasped when she did, gasped when she did that.
So when she outed that woman, people audibly gasped when Nera Tandon outed the sexual harassment victim.
And of course, Joe Biden picks her.
Nera Tandon is going to create an absolutely devastating austerity budget.
Then she's going to call it the budget for a progressive future.
And Democrats are going to be so into it.
Here's Nira Tandon doing a bad faith attack against Jimmy Dore.
So Carlos Maza, who is that corporate tool who works for Vox and is a gaslighter and likes to deplatform people who criticize him, he was saying, so I have a pretty thick skin when it comes to online harassment, but something has been really bothering me.
So that's when he tried to get Steven Crowder deplatform from YouTube because Stephen Crowder was making fun of him in a homophobic way, according to Carlos Maza, in the racist and a homophobic way, according to Carlos Maza.
So Naira Tandon tweets that out and tries to pretend that what I'm doing when I criticize her being a war criminal advocating for war crimes is the same thing as Stephen Crowder criticizing Carlos Maza in a homophobic, racist way.
So that's not just some, that's a powerful person completely lying about me on social media.
They never have to take this tweet down.
That's completely a lie.
I was coming at her for her advocating for stealing Libya's oil.
Carlos Maza was complaining about being attacked for his sexuality and his race.
I wasn't attacking you for your sexuality and your race.
I was attacking you for advocating for war crimes.
But she wants to confuse you.
That's called a bad faith attack.
That's called a smear.
Important threat.
Jimmy Doer has created multiple videos to attack me.
I ignore them.
Really?
Do you ignore them when you're watching them or are you ignoring them when you're tweeting about them?
Where does the ignoring come in?
I don't think you know what that word ignore means.
You can't even tweet about me.
You can't even tweet about me with making one huge Transparent fucking lie.
She can't even make one tweet about me without a huge fucking lie right in the middle of it.
And there it is.
I ignore them.
Really?
That's why you're tweeting about them?
I ignore them, but they can be both vicious and ludicrous.
How do you know they're vicious and ludicrous if you're ignoring them?
Oh, that's right.
You're a fucking transparent bad liar.
It's an important thread.
This thread is so important.
I need to make it about me.
It's about me, really.
Isn't it nice to know I bugged the shit out of her?
Isn't it nice to know that she hates that?
And now, by the way, everybody knows that she advocated for stealing Libya's oil.
We've been the one broadcasting that at the top of our lungs for fucking how many years now?
Enough to make her do this.
And now everybody knows about it.
And so now everybody's reporting on it.
So this is called the Streisen effect.
Because when she tweeted this out, I did another video about her tweeting this.
It got a half a million views.
So her trying to, so what their only game is, they try to discredit Jimmy Doer.
Anybody who's onto their bullshit, you have to try to discredit them.
And that's what this is.
You try to say Jimmy's a racist.
Jimmy's a sexist.
Jimmy's this.
Jimmy's a grit.
Whatever the fuck it is.
You try to, you never attack my points.
Never come at my opinions.
Never come at my points.
Never come at the substance of my arguments.
This is all they got.
That's all they got.
Jimmy's a sexist.
Jimmy's a, you know, who else is a sexist?
Bernie Sanders.
You know who else said people are sexist?
Elizabeth Warren.
That's what they do.
By the way, I want to show you this.
So this is Mira Tandon's Twitter feed.
And I don't know it.
She says she's the president of the Center for American Progress.
She's a progressive.
Now, what is that?
Now, what does it say?
She's the president of Center for American Progress.
She's a liberal.
She's a liberal now.
She used to be a progressive.
Now she's a liberal.
Love me, love me, love me.
I'm a liberal.
And I cried when they shot Simmer Rice.
Was like I lost a child of mine.
But Colin Kaepernick's just disrespectful.
And most of the cops are just fine.
So love me, love me, love me.
I'm a liberal.
You guys get it.
My president's Barack Obama.
The entire country adored.
He brought us our hope and our change.
And 30 million left uninsured.
And I don't care about fracking or drone strikes.
Cause that ain't gonna happen next door.
So love me, love me, love me.
I'm a liberal Now I vote for the Democratic Party because they have the better deal.
And I have lots of love for the Clintons.
Always have, and I always will.
And we need to believe all women Unless it's about Biden or Bill So love me, love me, love me.
I'm a liberal.
Now I used to be young and impulsive.
But I'm not that way anymore.
I've read everything by Marx and by Chomsky.
Even listen to Jimmy Dorr.
But I've grown older and wiser.
Haven't I blocked you on Twitter before?
So love me, love me, love me.
I'm a liberal.
Thank you.
Thank you.
She went from progressive to liberal.
And now you know the rest of the story.
Hey, Bernie Sanders is on the phone.
Hello.
Nobody tells Bernie Sanders when he's had enough to drink, Jay.
To put a stamp on it and take it to the post office, bank.
That'll never fucking happen.
Oh, hello.
This is Bernard H. Double Toothpicks, fucking Sanders.
I do hereby announce that I will accept the job of Labor Secretary if Joe Biden condescendingly considers me before going with some complete asshole.
That's very understanding of you, Bernie.
However, I do have some conditions.
And let me be very clear about this.
First, he has to offer the position to three other fuckheads who refuse before he finally rejects me.
At which point, I will gladly back his final choice.
Hey, Jim Clybert says he hopes Biden will put you in his cabinet.
Oh, that's great.
I knew there'd be an upside to him sabotaging my candidacy and ruining any chance for Medicare for all.
Oh, Joy, Joy.
Out with the Golden Sachs and in with the BlackRocks, as they say.
I don't remember eating that.
