Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program.
The Jimmy Dore Show.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
How's it hanging, Jimbo?
It's Rick Perry.
Oh, hello, Secretary Perry.
Thanks for calling.
Are you in Texas right now?
And how did you weather the recent storm down there?
Yes, I am, Jim.
I'm in the great state of Texas, the lone star state, where the stars shine.
And we did get through all that mess down here in Round Top.
Round Top?
Yes, I live in a place called Round Top.
We here in Round Top did pretty well considering we had rolling blackouts.
So there were times when we didn't have power for upwards of 45 minutes.
The temperature inside the house got down to about 65 degrees at one point.
65 degrees.
Wow.
I know.
Brrr.
Murder.
But we are a tough breed here in Tejas, so we survived.
A country boy will survive.
I see.
I see.
But as I was quoted as saying, Texans are willing to make these sacrifices in order to have a deregulated power grid and to keep the federal government from getting in there and throwing switches.
We don't want it.
We don't need it.
People died, Rick.
They estimate hundreds of people will eventually be found dead.
An 11-year-old child died of hypothermia in his own bed.
How can you say that?
These are sacrifices that Texans are willing to make for grid.
Freezing to death?
Not to mention the property damage, the burst pipes that have ruined homes that people can't pay for.
The infrastructure suffered a terrible blow in the state that you were governor of.
Plus, again, people died.
Sacrifices.
Grid.
Ercott, the company in charge of all this mess, said that your precious grid was seconds away from total collapse.
A disaster that could have left human beings without power for months.
Grid, Energy State.
The city of El Paso had opted out of the Texas-only ERCOC grid, and they had almost no problems whatsoever.
What does that tell you, Rick?
That they're traitors and always have been.
We should give El Paso back to Mexico.
I've always said it.
How can you possibly support this system in the face of all these facts, Secretary Perry?
Because I'll tell you how.
I'm down here on the ground rolling up my sleeves, talking to business leaders with my smart eyeglasses on, and I listen and nod, and that's what they say.
And they're rich, and they help me be rich, too.
So they're right.
In Texas, we believe in the free market.
That's the other thing to say.
Free market.
Free market?
Rick, there are people facing electricity bills of upward of $16,000 for when they didn't have power.
Jimmy, do you believe in love?
What?
Yes.
Well, sometimes love can burn you.
Love can sting.
That doesn't mean you don't believe in love anymore, do you?
I guess not.
Well, it's the same thing when you believe in the free market.
Sometimes the free market and you stay up all night watching the sunrise, just laughing and dancing, making you feel like you're the only two people in the world.
And you figured out the secrets of the universe.
And sometimes the free market sends you a power bill that jeopardizes the financial stability of you and your family.
And you know what?
That's beautiful, too, in its own way.
Okay.
But what about...
What about this?
What about that?
Don't you see you keep mentioning these things as if that's going to change my mind?
Dude, I am the dumbest motherfucker alive.
Me thinking this shit, it ain't cognitive dissonance.
It ain't me rejecting plain truths that challenge my worldview.
I'm stupid as shit.
I see.
I see.
And you know what?
I just own it now.
I'm proud of being dumb.
Yes.
I said ordinary Texans are willing to die and have their homes destroyed to avoid energy regulation.
I said that.
Do you know why?
Because earlier I said that God chose Donald Trump to be president.
And I'll be damned if I go to my grave having that being the dumbest thing I've ever said.
Wow.
Yeah.
And as you and Steph and God and Brownie as my witnesses, I vow that I will continue to say dumber and dumber shit until all of humanity stands in awe of my utter moronification.
I will be a brainless prophet and lead all God's children towards hitherto unknown dumbness.
Will you join me, Jimmy?
Will you join me on this journey?
No.
Well, I'm sorry to hear you say that.
Consider this, though.
I'm a complete fucking idiot, and I do not care about human life at all.
Therefore, I will be president of the United States.
You know that, don't you, deep down?
Uh-huh.
You know this to be true.
All right, Rick.
I got to go.
Don't you run from the truth, Jimmy Door.
Establishment media sucks, all gaslighting, so good luck, bullshit we can't afford, he's fomenting this, whoa, watch and see as he's jacked off the medium speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.
It's the Jimmy Door show.
Hi, everybody.
So we have a special guest with us from Get Shadows House with Rod.
It's Rob Placone.
Hi, Rob Lacone.
How are you?
What's up, Jimmy?
How's it going, man?
Good afternoon.
Look at how, do you see all the light on Ron's face?
I get to see him.
100%.
100%.
I don't want to bury the lead, but you know who Naritandin is.
She's the biggest enemy of the progressive movement inside the Democratic Party.
She's smeared progressives, Bernie, the whole deal, right?
She's been arch enemy number one.
She's tweeted about us.
Just so you know, right?
Well, the story is that, well, here it is.
Joe Manchin announced his opposition to the White House budget pick, possibly dooming her nomination.
Naratandin's pick for budget.
She runs a thick tank backed by corporate.
So that's the problem with Naritana, just so you know.
The problem with Naratandin is she is a corporate money laundering operation, the Center for American progress, she wants to cut Social Security.
She's always wanted to.
Here, Hillary, as a Hillary Clinton delegate at the DNC platform, she voted against $15 minimum wage, voted against Medicare for all.
She voted against a ban on fracking.
She voted against acknowledging Palestinian humanity.
She voted for the TPT and she voted for military action on Iran.
Plus, she also advocated for stealing oil from Libya to fund our social programs here at home.
So she's a big imperial.
She's the worst of the worst, Nira Tandon.
And so the story is that the Justice Democrats, the leader of the Justice Democrats, went on CNN to defend her.
I'm not kidding.
You think I'm kidding?
Here we go.
Watch this.
Now, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia just announced that he will vote against President Biden's pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget, Neera Tandon, putting her nomination in jeopardy.
Manchin saying in a statement in part, quote, I have carefully reviewed Neera Tandon's public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, from Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Mitch McConnell and others.
I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Let's bring in our panel, Alexandra Rojas.
This would.
So this is the head of the Justice Democrats.
Alexandria Rojas.
Is that her name?
Okay.
So here she goes.
Biden's first defeat and obviously a defeat for Nira Tandon personally because of a bunch of tweets she's done that were rather harsh.
Now, that's the thing people are making us stink out of her tweets.
That's not the worst part about it.
We showed you the worst part.
There's actually way worse parts of Nara Tandon.
Her tweets are the nicest part about herself.
Okay, so they're trying to pretend that's the problem with Narutandon, not her neoliberalism, her imperialism, her corporatism.
That's not the problem.
That is the problem.
Her anti-workerism.
Those are the problems.
They're trying to pretend this is all about her mean tweets.
That's not what this is about.
But watch the head of the Justice Democrats defending Narutana.
Go ahead, Ron.
Well, I was just going to say, can we just real quick point out how freaking annoying that is, by the way, making it out like it's just about her tweets?
It's the exact same thing as when people on the right are like, oh, come on, the only thing you don't like about Trump is his tweets.
Like, no, it's also all the terrible policies, too.
And now liberals are doing it.
Ah, the only thing you don't like about Nira is her tweets.
No, it's all this other stuff, too.
And as a lefty, you have to put up with both of those camps.
And it's so freaking exhausting.
Yes.
Ron, it is exhausting.
Exactly.
Yes, that's exactly right.
So let's listen now to what the head of the Justice Democrats, remember, as Kyle Kalinsky said, they were sent to Washington to do a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party.
Let's watch her defend one of the worst neoliberals in the entire party.
And of course, the biggest enemy of progressives inside the party.
Here we go.
Yeah, and I mean, you know, there's public record of those tweets, but the reality is I think that Joe Manchin is the one being divisive right now.
We are in the middle of a public pandemic.
Joe Biden was just elected by a huge mandate for the American people.
We have to deliver as Democrats, and we need people in positions of power who are ready and prepared to go big in this moment.
Narutandon is none of those things.
She is not prepared to go big in this moment.
She's not even qualified to do that job.
If Trump had appointed someone as corrupt as her and as incompetent as her and unable to do the job as her, we'd all be screaming.
Oh, look, another one of these crony cap, another one of these pick.
That's a stunning what I'm, I was stunned when I heard that.
I was stunned.
Ron, your reaction to the head of the Justice Democrats saying we all have to, as Democrats, we have to deliver.
And that means we have to not be opposed to Naritandon.
Well, I mean, first of all, I'm not a Democrat, so nice to know I'm not breaking the rules.
I'm opposed to Naritandon, and I'm allowed to continue to be as a not Democrat.
So I got that going for me.
I'm relieved.
Does this know how much longer people are going to keep kidding themselves about the Justice Democrats?
How much longer do you think people are going to keep kidding themselves about the Justice Democrats?
Well, I mean, I think that, I mean, I'm sort of like not for the whole concept.
Like, I just don't think this whole, oh, we're going to reform the Democratic Party.
Well, this is, they don't want to be reformed.
They spend $50 million a year to make sure you can't, quote unquote, reform them.
And that's in grassroots numbers, that's a lot of money.
That's enough to crush most things.
So I mean, to me, it's just we need an entirely different electoral solution.
And it's not going to come from within the Democratic Party.
That's just not going to happen.
So, yeah, I mean, I'm disappointed, but not shocked to hear takes like these, you know, come out of those organizations where it's like, well, we just have to get behind this, even though it's terrible.
And it's like, well, no, we don't.
It's terrible.
Ron, I honest, I was still shocked.
I know.
I didn't think I was still shocked by this.
I thought, well, what's it?
How does it hurt?
How's it going to hurt the, she's not even in Congress.
She's not even, she's just a head of an organization.
She's not, you know what I mean?
It's like, what are they getting?
I was shocked that, of course, I thought she would just reflexively, of course, we want better picks.
And she would have a list of people who are better than Naritandon to do that job and say, this is her, her, where we are pushing.
They're not doing any of that.
They don't have a list of people they want to see.
Where's that list?
Do you know of that list that the Justice Democrats came up with of the people you want to see in Biden's administration or Bernie's list of people he wouldn't?
There's no list.
I mean, yeah, I haven't seen one if there is such a list.
I mean, yeah, I don't, I don't know of one either, but I don't know.
I mean, if I was, if I was put on CNN anytime recently, I would just start screaming, where is the $2,000 over and over again until they cut my mic.
So I certainly, I certainly wouldn't go to bat for someone like Nira Tandon.
Ron, I'm noticing you got a new microphone there.
It's pretty sweet.
Thank you.
I was hoping you'd say something.
Yes, I did get this new microphone and I like it very much.
Now, is that a sure SM7?
This is a sure SM7.
Nice.
Well, you always hear about people talk about it on different.
I mean, I've heard you talk about it.
You've talked before.
Graham's talked about it before.
Basically, every podcast I've listened to, they've talked about it before.
And I'm like, you know what?
It's time.
It's a new year, new me.
I'm getting an SM7.
And so, and I can also say I'm literally letting my hair down because it keeps freaking growing.
So, yeah, here I am.
I've been cutting my hair for a year straight myself.
Really?
Yes.
For a year straight.
It's not easy, but the back certainly don't want to see the back.
You do not want to see the back.
But I've been doing it.
I've been doing it.
I mean, it's guys' hair.
It's guys' hair.
How hard is it?
But I mean, you're doing a better job than I would if I tried my own hair.
I mean, I, yeah, I applaud your courage, man.
I'm not, I'm not going to try it.
I have a, I have a buddy who's a barber, and I think at some point we're just going to do a socially distance outdoor, like maybe in like my garage or something, and he's going to cut my hair.
I think if it's outside, I think if it's outside and you both wear masks, you'll be fine.
Yeah, it's just, we thought about doing it on like the rooftop deck of my apartment complex, but I'm like, it gets kind of windy up there this time of year.
So I'm worried like if his hand slips or something, you know, yeah, you know, yeah, you don't want wind blowing your hands.
Oh, I didn't mean to cut that piece.
It blew into the scissor.
Ron, how do you feel about a buzz cut?
Because that's our only option now.
Ron.
Ron, do you have any auditions for a sailor coming up?
Good news and bad news.
They need a sailor.
You're ready.
So back to the back to the sketch.
This is not the sketch.
This is the segment.
I almost said the sketch.
Back to the segment.
I want to stop doing segments and I want to start doing sketches.
Yes.
I'm kind of tired of doing the news.
I really, it ain't changing anything.
Things are just getting shittier.
Honest, things are just getting shittier.
I did my job.
I think I exposed the Democrats for being Republicans.
And what else do you want me to do?
And I expose the establishment news media for being corporate news and right-wing imperialists and captured by Wall Street, healthcare, and military industrial complex, just like the Democratic Party.
I think I did that.
Now I'd rather just want to start doing comedy again.
Well, I don't want to, I don't want to turn this into a brainstorm sesh, but things keep getting shittier sounds like a killer name for a sketch series.
So I mean, this might be the start of something.
This might be the start of something.
Things keep getting shittier.
Sounds like a sketch.
Sounds like a sketch show.
I like it.
I agree.
You think it can't get any shittier than it does.
Yeah, you're like, oh, I just, I just lost my job, but I got this and I have COVID.
How could it get shittier?
You got hit by a bus.
It could always get a little worse.
Turns out you need a root canal.
Anyway, I never thought I would see a moment where people who literally called themselves progressives in public could go on a national television show and defend Nira Tandon for anything.
It is mind-blowing.
But let's see what else she had to say here.
And not leave anyone behind.
The mentality has got to be of the Democratic Party, especially, but any elected official that we have to move quickly to save as many lives as possible.
And I would also point out that.
So because we're in COVID, we've got to get shitty people in their positions lickety split.
We've got to get the most corrupt enemy of the workers as possible.
We got to get them appointed because of COVID, baby.
COVID.
That's why we got to staff the government with imperialistic neoliberal maniacs.
That's why.
It is.
Do you see that?
It is so urgent that the government is on vacation.
That is how urgent it is.
They went on vacation reluctantly, I think.
Maybe, probably not.
They probably just went on vacation because that's what they do.
But that's the sense of urgency.
So we have to approve this awful person.
So that, let's hear what else.
Crazy shit.
I mean, that is just nuts.
That's supposed to be a non-corporate political head of a political, non-corporate political group from the left.
That's mental.
I don't know.
I don't even know if that's allowed to say anymore.
That'll get you kicked off Twitter if you say something.
But that's crazy.
Can you say crazy?
Whatever that is, that's insane.
Can I say all those things?
Are these things okay to say?
I don't even know anymore.
Right?
But that, right?
I'll say it this: it's super not right.
I mean, could they first of all?
I just want to say to her, thank you for making me look like a genius.
I appreciate you guys not letting me down.
At every turn, they side with the establishment and fuck the progressives.
At every turn, they pretend they don't know what's going on and they do the wrong thing.
And what she's doing here is called gaslighting you.
So now you have, instead of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer gaslighting you, now you have the head of the Justice Democrats doing it.
That's what that's called.
Chagrin.
They're doing it again.
I did.
I didn't see this coming.
What the fuck?
Who didn't see this coming?
Actually, I didn't.
I'm not kidding.
I actually did not see.
I mean, I saw the Justice Democrats were going to keep rolling over for the establishment, but I didn't think they would do it over Nira Tandon.
That's stunning.
You weren't stunned.
I still am.
I'm still stunned.
Even if I say.
Go ahead.
But it's like I saw the onslaught on Twitter beforehand, too.
I mean, I saw Twitter for Twitter for a couple of weeks.
It's been really helping me emotionally.
But I'm sorry.
Go ahead.
Oh, well, I think that explains a lot, Jimmy.
You didn't see the onslaught of people on Twitter defending Nira Tandon.
I did not.
You know what?
Are you kidding me?
I saw this instead.
Was there an onslaught of people defending Niratandon on Twitter?
Are you kidding me?
Well, yeah, I mean, just like people kind of like, well, you know, you got to approve her and this and that.
And blah, blah, blah.
And then people who were also saying, like, reject Nira.
I mean, that was also a hashtag.
So, yeah, you missed that party, man.
You didn't see any of that.
So, I mean, you're not missing anything.
I know that.
I know that someone, if people.
Oh, hang on one second.
This is my pot dealer.
Anyway, so pot dealer.
Remember when you used to have to have a pot deck?
Do you still need one of those?
You don't.
That's why that joke didn't work.
That's a dumb joke.
Why were you just saying, Ron?
I was just saying.
There was a lot.
This clip on there was a lot of tweets that kind of emphasize what's being said in this clip.
That's all.
I mean, you didn't miss anything, but it was all there.
So let me see what else she has to say.
No problem voting to confirm other appointments of clearly partisan members when it was the previous Republican administration.
There should be no, I think, opposition to some, you know, folks that are being proposed by the Biden administration who have, you know, clearly are ready to do the work and are ready to get the job done and they feel are the best prepared to do it.
No, what?
Ron, that is, I still, I know you're not stunned, Ron.
I'm still reserving my right to be stunned.
No, totally.
Well, I mean, I'm listening to this response and it's almost like it's almost like she challenged herself.
I'm going to answer a question about Neera Tanden without mentioning Neera Tanden.
So here...
Here's the same question.
I asked about what is in it for her to do that.
What is in it for the Justice Democrat leader to do that?
What is possibly in it for her to get on television to be seen defending Joe Biden's administration's appointment of a horrible anti-progressive?
What could possibly be in it for her?
And why isn't she on there offering someone else?
I don't know.
All I can tell you is that what the guess is she's looking to keep her job inside a party somewhere.
She's looking to keep friendly with they got, I don't know what the hell's going on, but this is what happens when you put Democrat in the name of what you're doing.
This is what happens when you become part of the Democratic Party.
It changes you.
You don't change it.
So I don't know why the hell she's doing that.
But the fact is, she's doing it.
And that is unbelievable.
It should be stunning.
So that's the head.
That's the current head of the Justice Democrats.
Here's the former founder.
Here's the founder of it.
Jenk Uger decided to do a little comedy for us, which was nice.
Jenk Uger said, I'm not a fan of Nara Tandon.
I mean, I have her on my show and stuff, and we're pals, but I'm not a fan of her.
In fact, she did some of her mean tweets about me.
But unlike Republicans, I don't think we should cancel her because she once hurt someone's feelings.
That's not what the problem is, Jenk.
And he's again, this is what Jenk does now.
He runs interference for the Democratic Party by gaslighting you.
Everyone knows that's not the fucking problem with her, but he's going to pretend that it is.
You know what?
I don't think we should cancel anybody because it's hurt someone's feelings.
The hypocrisy of the GOP crying over cancel culture and then trying to cancel over a tweet is amazing.
It's Joe Manchin, by the way.
It's a Democrat.
So it's just like, it's like, I don't want to use the word lie.
I'll just say maybe he's just that dumb, but it's Joe Manchin.
And by the way, it's not about hurting people's feelings.
It's about the shit she did.
Well, here's what I go ahead, Ron.
You want to say something?
Well, no, I was also going to say, what does this have to do with cancel culture?
Who is canceling?
No one's canceling her.
Yeah, like they're saying she shouldn't get an appointment.
What does that have to do?
That's not canceled culture.
So is that people trying to cancel Kavanaugh because they didn't want him on the Supreme Court?
You get to oppose politicians you don't like.
That's like cancel culture.
Hey, LA Chargers, I want to play for you.
No, I don't think you're qualified, Ron.
Stop canceling me.
When is canceled culture going to end?
I'll be the punter.
Naritan is for fracking against Medicare for all, wants to cut Social Security.
Those aren't tweets, Jenk.
Those are positions that she's advocated for.
She's also anti-worker.
She shut down the magazine Center for American Progress ran when they unionized.
So maybe that's why you like her.
Maybe that's why he's a fan.
There is literally, I like what Nick, Dr. Cornell West Democrat, says there's literally no bottom for you.
It's not a Aaron Mate, friend of the show, an award-winning journalist, unlike the Griff.
He says it's not about her hurting someone's feelings.
It's about her actions and policy positions that hurt people.
That's exactly right.
We know this.
But good job at pretending you don't know that, Jenk.
Man, I'm all about people changing and evolving.
But from Jenk Uger to Liz Warren, when someone's a former Republican, boy, old habits sure die hard, right?
Right?
Supporting the bombing of a country to get richer is equivalent to hurting someone's feelings.
Got it.
Also, you spent the last two months trying to desperately to cancel Jimmy Doerr because he hurt AOC's feelings.
Get the fuck out.
That's exactly right.
Tweets aside, where is the concern for her blatant corruption?
That would be it.
That's the thing we're against.
But after you start taking Katzenberg money, right-wing money, opposing force to vote, you don't care about blatant corruption of Narutan anymore.
And then he doubled down.
He doubled down.
He said to all progressives, if Naritandon is voted down, they're going to replace her with someone even more conservative because Biden is made of jello.
If they lose on her, they'll abandon anyone to the left of Attila the Hun.
Biden has to have a spine for us to win on anything.
What the?
He's doing lesser of, you have to do lesser of two evil voting, even when it comes to the Office of Management and Budget.
Even when it comes to the, that is, who would, by the way, who would potentially be worse than Narutandon?
Can you throw out a name?
Throw out a name.
Who would potentially be worse than Naritandon?
That's, again, I don't know if you're allowed to say things are insane anymore, but that's insane.
This is the old take Tate.
You have to take it or we're going to make it worse.
That's the shit the Democrats have been doing for 40 years.
And Jenk Uger is now embracing it.
He's embraced it since Hillary Clinton.
But this is the most blatant.
This is amazing.
That's been going great for the last 40 years.
Hey, we have to take it or they'll give us someone worse.
That is the biggest, wimpiest, spineless position.
And that's why progressives lose.
But he doesn't care about losing.
That's why he's a proud Democrat.
Well, also.
He sounds like he's been writing those tweets, Ron, while hiding under his bed.
Well, also, like, but to the whole thing, like, oh, he's going to appoint someone worse.
I mean, I guess I can understand that concern, but there's no evidence that that is the case.
I mean, even some of the alternative names that they've been floating around, Gene Sperling, Ann O'Leary.
Now, these are just Clinton Obama people.
Gene Sperling seems a bit of a deficit hot type guy.
So, I mean, neither of these names are necessarily great at all.
And nor would I try to pretend that they are, but I would take them over Nira Tandon.
So, so I don't see how any name that I've seen so far, I don't see how any of them would be worse than Nira Tandon.
I guess you might just don't see that.
And my question is the exact same question I have for the leader of the Justice Democrats.
What is it that he gets out of doing this?
What is it?
He's getting something.
He's dancing for someone because this isn't.
No one believes he believes any of this shit he's been saying.
No one believed what he said about force the vote.
No one believes this kind of bullshit.
This is called gaslighting for the establishment.
And what is he getting out of it?
That's up for you to decide.
I love what Sandbeck for Progress says.
She's responding to Jenk Uger saying we have to take Nera Tandon or we're going to get someone worse.
She goes, like you thought a Democrat-controlled house would elect a Republican if Pelosi didn't win in the first round for speaker.
Idiot, she says.
She's right about Sandback for Progress.
I'm sorry.
It's David Sandin.
David Sandbeck.
He's right about that.
He's right about that.
It's all right.
You can call him.
You should have him on the show.
I should have him on the show.
Eddie says, dude, why are you fighting for NARA harder than Medicare for all?
That's another good question.
Don't know the exact answer, but I know it has something to do with corruption and money somewhere.
It doesn't have to do with what, you know, strong logic or ideas or thinking or a through line.
Hilarious how TYT doesn't care about corruption anymore.
You guys literally criticize Trump for putting people in positions they have no experience in, yet you are supporting NARA.
You are a clown.
Yeah, I'd have to agree.
Well, let's watch.
You want to talk about cancel culture?
Let's watch Jenk try to cancel Julian Assange.
You know, the way that Assange seems to be backing Donald Trump over and over and over again, it makes me very seriously question Assange's efforts to actually be a journalist and not to be a partisan.
And I get it.
I get why he hates the Democrats.
They're trying to put him in prison.
Okay.
But at the same time.
So Republicans, let's be clear about that.
And now the Republicans are too, and they have been in the past.
But it seems like Assange has picked a side.
And look, it makes me question his reporting.
And so that's the situation we're in now.
So now is he just leaking things that he gets and no matter what, in which case I would respect that?
Or is he selectively leaking based on his political motives?
Now that that suspicion is out there and it's real and it's possible, well, now I'm concerned that he can't be trusted.
Jenk wants to cancel Julian Assange over doing journalism, but he wants to support Nera Tandon to have a very powerful position inside the Biden administration.
Wow.
And it's almost like he realizes what he's saying at the end there.
It's just absolutely wrong, but he's still doing it anyway because he's dancing for someone.
And talk about, so his criticism of Julian Assange is that Julian Assange had picked a side, and so now he can't be a trusted journalist.
What fucking side has this guy picked?
Are you shitting me?
It certainly isn't the progressive side.
He was against Medicare for all.
He's against Force to Vote.
He's anti-union.
And now he's pro-Naratandon.
What fucking side has this guy picked?
I also just say, go ahead.
Well, I just want to add for the record, that's not even, that's not true about Julian Assange.
Of course that's not.
Yeah, like when it comes to tribal American politics, he did not pick a side.
He did not pick us up.
There are thousands of pieces of information that totally are not favorable to Donald Trump on WikiLeaks.
Thousands upon thousands.
So, you know, if you still think that, you know, very tired, debunked idea about Julian Assange, you should just maybe spend some more time on the actual website because that's just straight up not true.
But you can't trust Julian Assange's journalism because he's picked a side.
And there's a guy who's obviously objective as a picked aside.
He really thinks Narutan's fantastic.
He really was against force the vote.
He didn't think we should challenge Nancy Pelosi.
That's what he really thought.
Let's remind everybody, Narutan, this is from Wikileaks.
WikiLeaks revealed that Naritan wanted to steal the oil from Libya.
She wanted to steal the oil from Libya to pay for our invasion of it.
That's what Neritan wanted to do.
Guess who else wanted to do that?
Bomb the oil, take the oil.
Bomb the oil, take the oil.
Just take it, right?
Take the oil.
That's what Naritandon said.
That's who they're appointing right now inside the Joe Biden administration.
Narutan is for doing that.
By the way, here's another tweet of Narutan's.
Which entities want American troops totally removed from Iraq?
Iran and ISIS.
So if you want us to get out of Iraq, she's going to say you're sympathizing with Iran or ISIS, that Americans don't want us to get out of Iraq.
Somehow, somehow.
You're an enemy of our country if you want us to get out of Iraq.
That's Narutan.
So I'm just reminding everybody who he is, and that's why it's jaw-dropping to see the head of the Justice Democrats and the former founder of the Justice Democrats sticking up for someone who's been the enemy of progressives her entire career.
I wish Neritandon, this is, who says this?
Sajal Singh.
Sajal Singh says, I wish the Narutan discourse was less focused on her tweets and more focused on how under her leadership, the Center for American Progress covered up sexual harassment.
Then when BuzzFeed reported on it, Nara outed the survivor.
Think Progress to unionize with Writers Guild.
So the Think Progress was the Center for American Progress, which Narutan ran, had a magazine called Think Progress.
And they unionized.
And what happened?
Well, they shut it down.
As soon as they unionized, they shut it down.
Bernie Sanders will vote for Narutan despite battling her over her tweets.
So everybody is, again, this is the same thing you saw in the primary.
Bernie Sanders not using his movement to get anything out of Joe Biden, not trying to get Joe Biden to move left at all.
Is it disappointing to you how little he's pushed Joe Biden left, Ron?
Well, yeah.
I mean, nobody has pushed Joe Biden left.
This particular headline is kind of clickbaity because they don't provide any evidence that he'll actually do that, but I think he likely will.
I mean, I think Bernie is going to vote for her.
I mean, I don't know that for a fact, and I really hope I'm wrong.
But, you know, I think he will because I think, you know, he said, oh, I'm going to meet with her.
I'm going to meet with her.
I think he's going to meet with her.
And I think she's going to say, hey, I'm going to have your back on these policies, which is going to be a lie.
But I think he's going to believe her and he's going to vote for her.
So I don't think that's why he's going to vote for her.
I think he's going to vote for her because he's told to by Joe Biden and whoever is going to make him unpopular.
That's why.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
I mean, I think he is, whatever his reasons may or may not be.
I think he is.
I don't know for sure.
I hope I'm proven wrong.
I really hope.
We're both proven wrong.
Say what you want about Bernie.
He's not dumber about politics than I am.
He's not dumber about politics than you are.
So if Narutan's going to lie to him, he's going to know she's lying.
So that's not.
Everybody tries to infantilize Bernie like he's some fucking moron who doesn't get, oh, he just, he thinks Trump is so scary.
That's why.
No, he's a fucking, he is what he is.
He's a lemming to the Democratic Party, okay?
And he's a sheepherder.
And this isn't about him making mistakes.
This is his job.
He already said, Ron, that he is not going to do anything through reconciliation as chairman of the budget committee.
He's not going to do anything that Joe Biden hasn't first okayed.
He said that.
So that's what we're dealing with here.
He's pretending like Joe Biden is his boss Instead of us being his boss, and he's been doing that, I don't know, since 2016.
So, all right, so let's move on to here's what Jen Pazaki said.
She says she's the press secretary for Joe Biden.
How do you say her name, Pasky?
I think that's yeah, I think they don't pronounce it.
Narutanen equals the accomplished policy expert would be the first Asian American woman to lead the OMB, has lived experience, having benefited from a number of federal programs as a kid.
Wow, God, by the way, I wonder what her position on Modi is.
Has anybody asked her what her position on Modi is?
I wonder if Jenk Uger and the Young Turks have asked her about Modi.
I wonder.
Do you know what her position on Modi is, Ron?
I don't know.
Isn't that weird how that doesn't come up?
Isn't that weird how that doesn't come up?
That's weird, right?
That that doesn't come up.
I think it's weird.
So I see Niritana on Twitter in 2014.
They quote, was honored to meet Prime Minister Modi.
Oh, she's probably, so she's honored to meet Prime Minister Modi.
So she's cool with Modi.
I'm guessing no one cares.
I guess that's only when the Democratic Party tells you to care about Modi that you care.
Right?
Is that what that is?
I think that's what that is.
So she has experienced having benefited from a number of federal programs as a kid.
Looking ahead to the committee votes this week and continue to.
So she, so you know, those programs that she was.
That's true.
Narutan was benefited from some welfare programs as a kid.
But as Matt Bruening points out, the program she benefited from as a kid was the one she also went on to help dismantle while working in the White House.
She has no real accomplishments, not policy expertise.
Her role for the last decade has been raising money from Clinton circles.
Yes.
That's who she is.
That's what she's been doing.
Yes, Katie Helper says, yes, Naritandon has the lived experience of having benefited from a number of federal programs as a kid, and she has the lived experience of advocating cutting these programs as an adult.
That, not her mean tweets to Republicans, disqualifies her.
Couldn't agree more.
Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah said they would oppose Naritana's nomination to the Office of Management and Budget, citing hundreds of inflammatory social media posts.
Her confirmation now appears all but impossible.
Narutanis, an important threat, Jimmy Dorr has created multiple videos to attack me.
I ignore them, but they can be both vicious and ludicrous.
It's kind of like Chris Christie calling you fat.
Isn't it funny, right?
Isn't it funny?
It really is.
Do you think she's not?
I mean, I think she's, I think she's going to get through.
Do you think she might not?
I think she's going to get through.
Yeah, I think she is too.
I mean, so they're like, oh, she's doomed now.
Like, I don't, I don't think so.
I think she's going to get through.
Again, I hope I'm wrong about all these things.
I really do, but I think she's going to get through.
You're right.
Anything's possible, Ron.
I mean, the Justice Democrats could the Justice Democrats could come out and support her.
I mean, something crazy like that could happen.
Something completely antithetical to the idea of the Justice Democrats could happen.
Something completely.
They were sent there to do a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party, and they're defending the dregs of the Biden administration.
They're defending the dregs.
There is no bottom for the Justice Democrats.
Hey, wow, Vladimir Putin's on the line.
Hello.
Jimmy, long time no touch base.
What is up?
Anything new going on over there?
Well, a bunch of people stormed the Capitol building.
Boring.
In there, don't that.
I'm talking about serious shit like a nuclear power plant blowing up.
Whoa.
Or France and Germany invading your country.
Huh?
Or giant meteor destroying St. Petersburg and Stalin, rebuilding it at night without world finding out.
Wait, a meteor destroyed St. Petersburg?
Oh, whoops.
Not meteor, I meant gentrification.
Oh, boy, do I hate capitalism?
And I'm an oligarch for crime in his sake.
No figure.
Hey, here's important news.
In a new poll, 62% of Americans say they want a third political party.
Wait, you have two parties?
When did that happen?
Oh, I get it.
That is a joke, right?
Don't pull Vladimir's leg like that.
He's not quick on uptake as he used to be.
By the way, you know this call is being listened to, yes.
Yeah, our private conversations are being monitored.
Yes, my creepy uncle is in the kitchen, and I just heard him lift up the extension.
Get off the phone, you freak.
I'm so sick of this shit.
I might just retire to live near remote lakes so I can cut hole in ice and dive without causing frozen water for photographers.
That is so Vladimir Putin.
I know.
You're thinking of retiring, Vladimir.
Why?
Because of Joe Biden.
Haven't you heard?
The noose is tightening.
The walls are closing and the dominoes are falling.
It's the end of the third quarter and the bottom is falling out.
That doesn't sound good.
You're telling me Rachel Maddow says it's the beginning of the end for me.
It's only a matter of time.
The writing is on the wall, and it's the boiling point.
That's terrible.
I know, right?
I'm standing on precipice.
The dam will burst.
They're really turning a beat.
It's the end of the road and the GGSA.
Wow.
But wait, this more.
Apparently, the ceiling is falling.
The cracks are showing.
The hands are at midnight.
The pressure is on.
And it's the dipping point.
Already.
I mean, huh?
You got nothing to worry about, Vladimir.
You're really rich.
This is nonsense.
According to the Kremlin website, whatever that is, which I have nothing to do with, by the way, I am worth at the low end $200,000.
And at the high end, $200 billion.
So stop with the oligarch bashing already.
I did not mean to offend.
Jimmy, we know each other well, no.
You and me, we have understanding.
We know things.
Things others do not know.
Things other people could never know.
Things that other people will not let themselves know because knowing them would scare them too much with the knowing.
As a good friend of mine once said, there are known knowns and unknown knowns.
There are unknown non-knowns and non-known unknowns.
I can't remember how it ends, but you're getting my gist.
No, yes, yes, no.
Yeah.
Yeah, kind of.
So please answer Vladimir this.
What they deal with this clubhouse theme.
What do you what do you mean?
Are you on clubhouse or are you in it?
Is it a real house?
Is there a club there?
Do people go there to eat cheeses and dance?
I don't get it.
It's just a new audio chat app.
A who what now?
You don't know what an audio chat app is?
You're going to translate that into English, Captain Nerd ass hat.
Remember, I'm just an old-fashioned country oligarch who likes to spend his day riding horse by river with no shirt on.
It's just another kind of social network thing, I guess.
Oh, so why does Elon Musk want to talk to me in the clubhouse?
Does he like me or something?
Why do you care?
Because he's a freak and I don't want anything to do with him.
He told the rescue team in Thailand to put his submarine the size of Kursk through underwater tunnel.
Jimmy, honest opinion.
Who is better billionaire, me or Elon?
I think you're all equal.
But I play hockey, grind horse, to judo, and dive nude into Ice Lake.
Oh, forget it.
Just don't bomb us, okay?
We just started getting all the mold out of my palace.
Toodles.
Toodles.
Yes.

Guess what?
Joe Biden is president.
The Democrats are in total control of government.
And guess what they got you?
Guess what they got you?
State clears first three foreign military sales of Biden's administration and still no COVID relief.
Still no COVID relief.
State Department approves $85 million missiles to Chile.
So now Biden is officially president.
That's how it works.
This is how this works.
More war.
Biden administration announces $197 million arms deal with Egypt.
Obama embraced endless wars.
Biden probably will too.
This is from the Washington Post, so the headlines probably meant to be celebratory.
Yay!
Obama embraced endless war.
Biden probably will too.
We're the Washington Post.
As Obama quickly learned, changing the United States military posture is harder than it looks.
Biden administration likely to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan and miss admin escalating violence and stalled talks because nothing is fundamentally going to change as Joe Biden promised.
Joe Biden, where war is a lot more than a band he used to listen to, it is convertible.
War.
Ha!
What is it good for?
Absolutely.
Good God.
Come on.
You don't think we can push Joe Biden left?
Come on.
You can push Joe Biden left and you can push your car with a hand card.
Come on.
We can distribute weapons all over the world, but we can't distribute COVID relief funds.
Isn't that amazing?
Who knew Joe Biden was going to be pro-war?
It's not like he gave us 40 straight years of clues.
By the way, guess who is Defense Secretary?
Look who it is.
Oh, wait a minute.
From the board of directors, it's Lloyd J. Austin III from Raytheon.
Now, Biden defense pick got $1.7 million from Raytheon.
Lucky.
Hey, guess what else?
Biden administration plans to continue to seek extradition on WikiLeaks Assange.
That's right.
Why would Joe Biden prosecute that?
Oh, maybe because he's in bed with the military-industrial complex and he reveals the secrets because he's going to tell you about the war crimes of Joe Biden.
That's why.
That's why.
So there you go.
You know, I voted.
I voted for a demented, racist, warmongering enemy of the workers.
And I don't know.
I just don't feel happy.
Senator Bernie Sanders is on the phone.
Hello.
Congratulations.
Your credit score has gone up.
Wow.
Thanks.
By how much?
Not enough to suit me, you morally bankrupt sack of shit troll.
Bernie, what are you doing?
Wait, who the hell is this?
This is a near attendance office.
Ha, no.
Jesus Christ on the goddamn toothpick.
This isn't five, five, five, five, five, five, five.
Who...
Why do I find that so funny?
No, this isn't 555-5555.
And that's just a fake number used in bad movies.
I gotta stop taking notes with these stupid mittens on.
These things are useless.
Not only do they distract from my frantic arm waving, they're also soaked with chicken grease.
And now I think there's a family of chipmunks living in them.
Jane, call that chipmunk man again.
So sick of Vermont.
You know, the only good thing about the state, it's legal to get liquor by mail.
So keep it coming, folks.
And no, we no longer accept toilet wine from the main state prison system.
Hey, do you have to take those stupid stupid mittens off, Bernie?
Enough's enough.
No kidding, Colonel Sanders.
You got real near attendance home number on you by any chance?
No.
Well, then you're as fucking useless as these mittens.
Goodbye, schmuck.
Wait, Bernie, what are you doing for us?
Not for us, to us.
And for your information, we're doing plenty.
Firstly, we're going to raise the minimum wage to the almost living wage of 15 bucks.
Okay, that's a good start.
I don't think that's actually happening, but okay, that's a good start.
We got to do it under reconciliation.
What, what?
Could you speak up, please?
I said I am pleased Joe Biden remains resolute and is stand for those $1,400 checks.
I'm pleased he's standing at war.
And the minimum wage hike?
Like with your $2,000, $1,400 check, we got to do it through reconciliation.
Don't worry about it.
To the average voter, what does that mean?
We got to pay as you go it.
And what does that mean?
This.
No one can see what you're doing there, Bertie, when you say this.
Well, that's too bad because I'm flipping you the bird.
And that would be a more lucrative meme than these fucking mittens.
I'll tell you what.
Look, as Karl Marx said, revolution isn't possible without waiting for the proper time to leverage existing mechanisms to deliver material benefits.
Meaning, we're cutting Medicare.
Now, we know what you're thinking.
If you cut Medicare, that balances out the cost of raising the minimum wage.
Good job, Democrats.
You know, I wasn't thinking that.
Okay.
Okay.
Don't let's talk about my medicine somewhere.
I'm more than happy to do that.
Right now, there's a family of chipmunks living at them.
Did I tell you that?
Yeah, Bernie, are you ever going to come on my show?
Look, you're still on my shit list.
But if you scrub your tweets, I might reconsider.
If you'll excuse me, I have to get back to ignoring everything I used to stand for.
and stop sending me toilet wine for me!
*music*
Andrew Cuomo's under a lot of heat because he lied about the number of people in nursing homes dying and getting infected.
And he pushed people with COVID back into the nursing homes and they died.
And then he lied about the numbers and he's got caught and he's in big trouble.
And so what he's decided to do was do something like this.
Watch this.
When I say experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying.
First of all, can I just say it's weird that Ted Cruz is, they have Ted Cruz doing the sign language.
I was thinking the same thing.
Why would they have Ted Cruz do?
Ted Cruz was supposed to be in Cancun.
Here we go.
When I say experts in air quotes, when I say experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying I don't really trust the experts because I don't.
Because I don't.
Now, the Democratic Party and the establishment media has been saying if Donald Trump said stuff like that or anybody says stuff like that, they get kids.
They lose their Twitter account.
They get kicked off Facebook.
Their YouTube videos get.
If I said that about COVID, our YouTube channel would get yanked.
If I said what the governor of New York just said about the experts and COVID, my YouTube, they would definitely take down that video, if not my entire channel.
We're not supposed to be.
So I thought there was a ministry of truth when it came to COVID, and we're not allowed to do that.
But somehow he, so again, so this is what he does when he's caught being corrupt.
So he got caught being corrupt, and so now he's going to lie.
And what his lie is, I'm not trusting the experts.
Well, he's not actually lying, but what he's doing is he wants you to be angry about something else.
Don't be angry about the corruption that I did and the people that I'm responsible for killing.
Don't be upset about that.
Be upset about something else.
Don't look over the governor.
Watch what he says.
You want to talk about.
And I'll remember, this is all in his response to being caught lying about the people who died in nursing homes because of COVID because he sent them back in there.
He had a directive from the governor's office saying nursing homes couldn't deny COVID patients, even if they had COVID.
About making mistakes.
How did COVID come here for three months and nobody knew?
It's got nothing to do with it.
You could leave China, go to Europe, and come here.
And all these federal watchdogs, nobody knew it.
Someone else is.
How did you let New York sit here for three months receiving passengers from Europe who had the virus and nobody knew?
How did you tell us that to spread the disease, you had to be symptomatic?
Which meant the sneezing, the coughing.
That's how it spread.
Only to do a total 180 degrees later and say, oh, by the way, you can be asymptomatic and spread it.
What?
That's all the difference in the world.
So the point is, my suit was in the cleaners.
The check was in the mail.
I had a flat tie.
I swear to God, it wasn't my fault.
I swear to God, baby, it wasn't my fault.
Can we also just a quick aside, like how annoying his fake tough guy is?
Yeah, like it's just so freaking annoying.
He's like, how did we, for three months, the only person whose fake tough guy thing is more annoying than him is his freaking brother.
Yeah.
It's only more annoying when his brother does it.
That's the only person on the planet more annoying than him with the fake tough guy thing.
I like where Chris Cuomo threw, he would throw COVID down a flight of stairs.
You know that.
He would wreck COVID shit.
It got into nursing homes because it was here before anyone knew.
It was brought in by staff.
It was brought in by visitors.
Somebody else's fault.
Once it was here, they said it was spread by symptomatic people.
That was untrue.
It was also spread by asymptomatic people.
Oh, see the science.
And to play politics with it the way they did.
So just so you know, this is the governor of New York that the liberal media has crowned king of COVID relief, the greatest guy ever.
They gave him an Emmy.
For nothing.
For nothing.
He's now been revealed to be completely incompetent.
Not only that, but corrupt in handling of COVID and lied about it.
Not only completely incompetent, but corrupt and lied about it.
And now he's blaming everyone else.
He sounds very Trumpian, doesn't he?
That was mean.
What was that?
Want to hear what he says was mean?
When I say experts in air quotes.
I can't get to it, but he said it was mean to suggest that somehow that he was somehow that it was mean to suggest that what he did hurt people and caused people to die in nursing homes.
He's saying that's mean to imply that.
It's mean to imply that.
If that's what he's saying, it's mean to imply that.
And you know what else is mean?
Screwing over homeless people and cutting money from Medicaid in the middle of COVID.
You know what else is mean?
Giving a directive to nursing homes, making them take people with COVID back in because the hospitals were overflowing because you didn't prepare for it, because you were cutting billions of dollars from healthcare in the middle of this freaking thing.
That's also mean.
I think he rehearsed this speech in his bedroom a bunch, and then it really didn't go the way he planned.
Yeah.
Like he's mentioning all these things that we all know are absolutely like we've been going through this terrible pandemic.
All these horrible things have happened.
People have died.
And then he's like, let's get to the real meat of all this.
My feelings.
That was mean.
That was Mean of you to suggest that somehow I bear responsibility as a leader.
That was mean.
He went on to say that he thought it was mean to the families of people who died, too, because it gave them the false impression that we could have did something different.
What?
Whoa.
Yeah.
I mean, it got even thicker, Ron.
I'm sorry, I cut that clip off.
I didn't send you the whole clip, but yeah, it got even thicker.
Yeah.
So, but we all know where this comes from.
Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admits they hid nursing home data so feds wouldn't find out.
That's got nothing to do with anything he just said.
That's got nothing to do with anything he just said or about why he doesn't trust the experts.
You don't trust the how about we don't trust you because you're a liar, not because you're not smart enough, but because you're proven liar that you hid nursing home data so the feds wouldn't find out.
New York State nursing home residents were dying from COVID at a much higher rate than what was reported by Governor Andrew Cuomo's health department on purpose.
And guess what the fallout from that was?
The fallout from that was nine top New York health officials have quit as Cuomo scorns expertise.
Yes.
When I say I experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying I don't really trust the experts, Governor Cuomo said of the pandemic policies because I don't.
Now, I think you should be allowed to disagree with the experts on things.
Everything from the WMDs in Iraq to anything else.
I think that's the beauty of America.
The reason why I do this show is because the mainstream news media is often wrong in telling you the exact opposite of what's the reality.
But that's not what the Democratic Party is.
The Democratic Party says you trust experts, and if you don't, you get canceled.
How dare you not?
They trust science.
That's another way of saying I trust the experts.
Now, Andrew Cuomo is saying everybody who said that's an idiot.
And you should question the that's what he's saying.
Again, if I did a video, question the experts on, I would get that video taken down at least.
But this is the governor telling you.
And so nine of his top health officials quit.
And why is he saying he doesn't trust the experts?
Because he's in hot water.
That's why.
Well, I think, I think that's the big difference, too.
Like, you know, disagree for good reason.
Don't disagree because you want to deflect blame from yourself.
Exactly.
That's right.
Like, don't disagree just for the hell of it.
Disagree for good reason.
He's disagreeing for corrupt reasons.
Exactly.
He's not disagreeing because he thinks the experts are wrong.
Quite frankly, Jimmy, he's being a turkey.
Yeah.
If you remember that, don't be a turkey.
Don't go over to see your mother.
Don't be a talkie.
I'm going to see my family.
Don't do it.
Don't do it.
Show mother how much you love her by not being a turkey.
Here's Zephyr Teach out.
She says, I know for many people, learning that Andrew Cuomo was deliberately lying about nursing home death numbers while he was comforting them with PowerPoints is just too much cognitive dissonance.
And they want to resolve it by making the problem go away.
Fingers in the ears.
Yeah, that's exactly.
We've come a long way from when he got an Emmy for literally no reason, haven't we, Ron?
Just remember which shows were telling you that Andrew Cuomo sucked all along.
This show.
This show has been telling you Andrew Cuomo has been handling COVID horribly all along.
Going back to last spring when he was trying to cut money directly from the health department money budget.
You remember that story, right, Ron?
We covered it, right?
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
I mean, he was cutting money from the health department.
He went after Medicaid.
He's been completely brutal to the houseless population in New York for, you know, as long as he's been there.
I mean, yeah, this guy, at least now that he's in some hot water and deserves.
Oh, we don't.
We won't have to listen.
I bet he'll run for president more.
Although, I guess, who knows?
Maybe a year from now, it'll all be forgotten to hear about that again.
But here's hoping.
And now, people like David Sirota, friend of the show, David Sirota is writing an article titled Cuomo Gate: A Nixonian Scandal is Engulfing New York.
Amid demands for Cuomo to resign, the governor and his aides are frantically trying to cover up the facts of what happened.
That's from February 18th.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
What was it he said about nursing homes?
Can we go back to that one?
Because what he said about nursing homes.
You know, the irony thing is now that Cuomo actually deserves an Emmy for the acting job he did back then.
That's actually the Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home executives after big campaign donations.
Wow, it's funny that campaign money actually seems to have a connection to policy.
Isn't that weird?
Critics say data proves that New York's liability shield is linked to higher nursing home death rates during the pandemic.
So what they did was he gave the people, the executives at nursing homes that are responsible for the deaths of their patients.
They don't have to worry about it during COVID.
They don't have to do that.
And they give him a big donations.
Isn't that awesome?
Was it the best?
That sounds like a man who deserves an award.
That's right.
Why did Governor Cuomo give nursing homes immunity from COVID deaths?
And that's by a guy named Ron Kim.
Was the corporate immunity linked to the 1.5 million in political contributions from lobbyists?
Only a full investigation can help us find out.
That's a guy named Ron Kim.
Guess what?
Guess what?
Cuomo threatened to destroy me.
I'm still fighting for nursing home residents, Ron Kim.
So he writes that article, and then Cuomo threatens, according to Ron Kim, threatens to destroy him.
Hey, look, I know you got a nice, you got a nice nursing home there, Ron.
Kim, it'd be a shame if I drew you down them steps.
It'd be a shame if something happened to them steps while you were going down it.
Andrew Cuomo quietly slipped legal immunity for executives into a budget bill and disbanded his own corruption investigation panel when they were closing in on him.
When it comes to corruption, he's practically Trumpian.
That's from the week.
That's not from yesterday.
That's from February 22nd, 2021.
By Ryan Cooper.
Is that who wrote that, Ryan Cooper?
Ryan Cooper.
That's not.
There's two Ryan Coopers.
There's the Ryan Cooper who did the bogus story on us, and then there's the other Ryan Cooper.
I think, hopefully, this is the other one.
I don't think the bogus Ryan Cooper does good work.
But there it is.
Andrew Cuomo quietly slipped legal immunity for so this idea.
So again, people just wanted anybody but Trump.
I needed someone to hate.
I mean, someone to like while I was hating Trump.
And so they decided Andrew Cuomo was the guy.
And he's corrupt.
He's as corrupt as they come.
Here's coronavirus update in New York.
Schools can now stay open even if regions are passed 9%.
Positivity.
I don't, again, I don't know.
What is can I not trust the experts or should I not trust the governor?
Who am I supposed to not trust?
Governor Cuomo announces New York City indoor dining can reopen early on February 12th.
Now, how who am I supposed to trust?
He says, don't trust the experts.
How can I trust that that's safe?
Who am I supposed to trust?
That's what I'm saying.
Hello.
Hello, everybody.
It's Joe, Joe Biden.
I'm your thing.
Great to see you all here.
And I'm going to make a brief statement and go eat a muffin.
Is that all right?
Yeah, sure.
When I became president a month ago, I believed I could, and I still believe I will make a difference.
I spent Presidency Day weekend down at Camp Davidian, including some people who kept telling me they're my family.
Even got an arcade there for kids.
The whack-a-mole game is broken, so I let them hit my shins with a mallet.
You should come visit me next time.
I'm there, and I don't realize it.
Mr. President.
Don't tell me what to do, fat.
Joe's here.
Hey, why don't you at least cancel $50,000 in student debt?
Simple.
That will not make that happen.
There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Are you confused?
Yeah, you seem to be sending us mixed messages, Joe.
That's me.
Mixed message, Joe.
Ask me anything.
How can you send teachers back to school if they're not vaccinated?
First, our teachers are in Asia's heroes.
Second, that's why vaccinating them is not a priority.
Yeah.
A mixed message, Joe.
