	Here we're going to Sacramento back here in Los Angeles.
	Bakersfield, Indianapolis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Tulsa, Oklahoma City.
	Go to JimmyDoorComedy.com for a link for all the tickets for all our shows.
	Hey, this is Jimmy.
	Who's this?
	What's up, my fellow American?
	It's Vince Bob.
	Oh, Vince, how you doing?
	Baby, I am recovering.
	Or should I say trying to recover, if I'm being completely honest and forthright here.
	What are you recovering from, buddy?
	The 4th of July, baby.
	Independence Day, America's birthday.
	She's 246 years old, but she does look a day over 25, and she's a solid 10 with a caboose that you can go to confession for just looking at.
	I see.
	But yeah, I'm hurting.
	What?
	I'm telling you, man, I'm wounded.
	All the food, the barbecue, white claws, all of the emotions, all of the singing of the 4th of July carols and the tears of joy that go along with them.
	I'm spent.
	But wait a minute.
	Fourth of July carols?
	Yeah, what's your favorite?
	I don't know any.
	What do you mean?
	What?
	Are you not a patriot?
	Like, I guess not.
	Oh.
	So you don't celebrate.
	I see.
	I've heard of you people, but I don't think I've actually met one in real life.
	No offense, but you don't look like the stereotypical non-patriot.
	Thanks.
	So what's your favorite 4th of July carol then?
	Oh, that's a hard one.
	Hard to say.
	I bet.
	Hard to say, Jimmy.
	I guess it's either Low, How a Beautiful Nation is Brought Forth.
	That's a pretty one.
	Behold a baby country, Isabella.
	Bells are ring in Philadelphia.
	Oh, and I like, you know, I like the fun ones, too.
	They're just fun.
	like sign sign John Hancock sign laughing laughing Fun ones.
	Yeah.
	I didn't even know that these existed.
	That's insane.
	What else did you do?
	Well, we barbecued, of course.
	We grilled like madmen.
	Stakes.
	Chicken.
	Hot dogs.
	Bratwurst.
	Kielbasa.
	Shrimp kebabs.
	Pasta salad.
	Oh, for a side?
	No, we put that on the grill, too, just for fun.
	I see.
	All right.
	And drinking, of course, beer, cocktails, white claws, kari mochos, margaritas.
	I know a guy who knows a guy who can still get his hands on Zima.
	Ha ha ha!
	Bartles and James.
	Gegronies for all my American chabronis.
	Sounds very festive.
	Oh, Jimmy was the most festive.
	Just celebrating America with friends and loved ones in booze.
	And of course we blow up some M80s for good measure, scare the shit out of the neighborhood, put the ass off.
	So let me ask you, what exactly are you celebrating about America?
	What are you kidding?
	Freedom, baby.
	That's quite a thing to say weeks after women in the country lost the freedom to choose what to do with their own body.
	Yeah, well, you know, freedom isn't free.
	You got to fight for it.
	These birds just didn't fight hard enough.
	They should have taken a page out of the NRA playbook if you asked me.
	We have gun freedoms out the fucking ass.
	Right.
	Our esteemed Supreme Court seems poised to revoke many other freedoms.
	What do you think about that?
	Wait, not guns, right?
	No, not guns.
	Hey, gosh, that way our Independence Day tradition of blowing up old train cars with an old World War II howitzer will live on.
	And what freedom does that act represent, Vince?
	Blowing shit the fuck up.
	Yeah, great.
	Next, they'll probably go after gay marriage.
	I could also see this court trying to dismantle labor law to further weaken unions in the country, too.
	Well, SAG has never done shit for me personally, so I don't give a shit.
	Never won any of their dumbass awards.
	And as for everyone else, that's just more freedom.
	Freedom for the worker to choose his or her employment and freedom for the giant corporations.
	Free.
	Yeah, that was called the Lochner era, and it was not a good time for labor in the country.
	They would attack striking coal miners with machine guns, Vince.
	Yeah, well, their lives suck pretty hard.
	They were honestly doing them a favor for being realistic.
	Look, America rules, we're free, and I don't see what your fucking problem is.
	I think America could be a great country, conceivably, but as it stands right now, you know it's not.
	It's getting much worse.
	Well, aren't you just a negative Nancy?
	You always have to ruin the party.
	Why do you always have to ruin the party?
	I bet at Christmas time, you're the one of those people who's like, actually, look at Payton tradition.
	I am.
	I knew it.
	Well, I don't have to listen to this shit.
	I'm a patriot.
	I celebrate the 4th of July.
	I treat it like a bacon all of the census and honestly don't give much thought at all to this country and what it means and how that's how it should be.
	And yes, I proudly sing 4th of July carols like everybody else.
	Sign, sign John Hancock sign right there on the dotted line.
	Tell King George he's out of time.
	Sign John Hancock Sign Bitch It Establishment media sets of artists fighting so good luck the bullshit we can't afford fomenting this cold.
	Watch and see as a jackdog comedian who speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.
	It's the Jimmy Door show.
	Hey, guess what?
	There's been a the Democrats don't like democracy.
	So we've told you this before.
	This happened during the 2020 presidential election, Wisconsin Supreme Court rules to keep Green Party off the ballot.
	How'd they do that?
	The ruling bolsters hopes for Democrats who feared presidential nominee Joe Biden could lose a small share of his votes to the third party.
	So we have to get rid of democracy.
	Justin Brian Hagerden broke.
	This is how they did it.
	Broke with his fellow conservatives to form a majority with the court's liberals that kept so they always worked together to screw the third.
	They'll find just enough liberals, just enough conservatives.
	They always work together to squash the third party.
	And in that The ruling, the descending judges ripped it.
	The lawsuit is not about the Green Party sleeping on its rights.
	It's about the treatment that independent candidates from a small political party receive from the commission, who repeatedly refused to follow the law relative to the nomination.
	So it was they're illegally kicking Green Party people, third-party people off the ballots.
	In a separate dissent, Justice Sigler wrote that keeping a party candidate off the ballot is the ultimate voter suppression.
	The majority decision deprives the Wisconsin people of a voice and strips them of one of the most fundamental tenets of this republic, the right to express one's will at the ballot box.
	You can't make this up.
	Wisconsin Democrats just justified blocking the Green Party from the ballot by saying that allowing them on would delay printing and mailing.
	Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Democrats are delaying printing and mailing in order to block Green Party from the ballot.
	Here it is.
	Cuomo used the pandemic to change state law to crush the Working Families Party.
	So this, it's never, they don't want competition of ideas.
	And why do I bring this up?
	Because it's happened again.
	So here we are in North Carolina, Matthew Ho for Senate running as a Green Party candidate.
	And this is what he tweeted out.
	The New York, the North Carolina State Board of Elections just voted three to two not to certify the Green Party ballot access petition.
	We needed 13,865 signatures, and the North Carolina board, North Carolina Green Party, submitted 15,953 verified signatures.
	We did everything required, and they just said no.
	Is this what democracy looks like?
	So let me bring in Matthew Ho.
	He's a U.S. Senate candidate, representing North Carolina on the Green Party ticket.
	He is a disabled Marine combat veteran for people, planet, and peace over profit.
	Please welcome my guest, Matthew Moe.
	Matthew, thanks for being with us.
	Hey, Jimmy, thanks for having me on.
	So I want to show, you tweeted out some text messages that you got.
	So this is coming from, you said it says, thank you.
	They asked you first to confirm if you were a Green Party voter, right?
	They asked me to confirm and they asked thousands of people who signed our petitions to confirm whether or not we had signed the petition or not.
	This substantially was an effort to check the integrity of the petition process.
	And this was done by the Elias Law Firm, which is Mark Elias' law firm.
	People familiar with him.
	He is about the biggest lawyer the Democratic Party has.
	And they came down from D.C. to challenge us.
	And this is actually separate from what happened with the State Board of Elections, but it's just as insidious and just as dangerous as what happened with the State Board of Elections.
	Well, so let's, all right, let's start there.
	Let's start at the State Board of Elections.
	They discertified you.
	They said they feared that you wouldn't reach the requirements, even though they haven't gone through all your signatures.
	Is that correct?
	Well, so as the tweet said, we needed 13,865 signatures to make the ballot.
	We turned in 22,500 signatures by the May 17 deadline to the county boards of election.
	The county boards of elections then verified and validated 15,953 of those signatures.
	So they were verified and validated by the county boards as the process is supposed to work.
	We then took those verified signatures and turned them into the state on June 1st.
	And the state board of elections has spent the last 30 days going through those trying to find irregularities.
	Now they have found things.
	We have an issue where about 200 of the signatures seem to have been fraudulent.
	These were people who defrauded us, basically.
	So 95% of our petitions, of our signatures, came from our people, came from Green Party members, campaign members, socialists, leftists, independents.
	And about 5% came from contractors we hired to help us out.
	And it appears that two of those people with about 200 signatures tried to pull a fast one kind of thing.
	And so the state spent 30 days looking at that.
	We cooperated with them fully.
	And then we had a July 1st deadline today to have our nominating convention to have people change their registration.
	The Green Party has a hard deadline by state statute to have this done.
	So the State Board of Elections takes their 30 days to look at our verified signatures.
	They come to us yesterday.
	We go to the meeting yesterday and they say, because of these and because of some other irregularities, onesies and twosies here and there, we think there could be more fraud.
	Could be.
	And because there could be more fraud, we need more time to investigate.
	But unfortunately, since tomorrow is the deadline, we can't give you that time.
	So we're going to vote.
	And the Democrats all voted to deny us because there was a concern because, as the state board of elections director who's appointed by the Democratic governor, said, there's a cloud over all this.
	And this is what they wanted.
	This is what they wanted.
	They just wanted to cast some doubt.
	Our attorney, I mean, there's all kinds of issues here.
	One of them is just a due process issue.
	Our attorney, when he asked the chair of the state board of elections yesterday during the meeting, Mr. Chairman, do any of these signatures that you're concerned about were any of them actually verified and validated by the county boards of election.
	It's our understanding that they weren't, that this is a moot point because these signatures never counted.
	And he refused to answer.
	And then when our attorney pressed him further, he yelled at our attorney, told him he was out of order and muted his microphone.
	And that was the extent of our due process yesterday.
	And so do you make it up, man?
	So do you happen?
	I mean, they did it basically because they could.
	Yes.
	Simply because they could.
	So these were three Democrats voting three to two to kick you off the ballot.
	And that's a very that's that doesn't seem legal what they did.
	That seems corrupt, what they did.
	It doesn't sound like they're following the procedures.
	And so do you have any legal recourse?
	Can you file a lawsuit on this?
	Yes, that's what we are doing.
	We're in the process now of figuring this out.
	We were expecting a legal challenge from the Democratic Party through that Elias law group, the people that were sending out the text messages that were calling people that were showing up at people's homes.
	We did not expect the brazen partisan nature of this decision by the state board of elections, where it was very clear that their loyalties lie to Governor Cooper and the North Carolina Democratic Party and not to the principles of some semblance of democracy.
	So no, we will pursue legal action to get us on the ballot.
	So tell me what you know about this.
	Do you know about Michael Vincent Abusowitz?
	So he is the counsel of record for the Elias law firm because Elias Law Firm is based in Washington, D.C. They need a Raleigh-based attorney.
	The attorney that represents The Elias law group in this matter.
	She actually has been implicated in previous such nonsense and some things that were more than nonsense.
	If you go back to 2016, she was involved in, if people remember, President Barack Obama, if you gave him a couple million dollars, he would give you an ambassadorship.
	Yeah.
	She was involved in that.
	And this all comes out of the Elias Law Group.
	Mark Elias, who was general counsel to John Kerry, general counsel to Hillary Clinton, general counselor Kyle Harris.
	He was involved with Fusion GPS and the whole Steele dossier.
	In 2004, he really established the way that the Democratic Party goes after independents and third party candidates.
	His campaign against the Green Party and the Ralph Nader campaign in 2004, while he was general counsel for John Kerry, really kind of, as far as I understand, established how they do things.
	And so, yeah, we're up against some very serious people here.
	And so let's get back to these text messages.
	Let's get back to these text messages.
	So, what did they ask you to confirm that you had signed a petition for the Green Party?
	So, they asked, so they first asked you, hey, press wanted to confirm if you signed a petition for the Green Party.
	You did.
	Then it says thank you for confirming.
	If the Green Party is on the ballot, it will give Republicans a huge advantage that will help them win in North Carolina in 2022 and 2024.
	In past elections, we've seen that the Green Party takes votes away from Democrats, which helps Republicans win.
	With abortion rights in the balance, we can't afford to give Republicans more of an advantage.
	Are you interested in asking the elections board to have your name removed from this petition?
	So, this is Mark Elis, a Democratic law firm that is using its resources to text people who sign petitions for the Green Party to get them to see if they'll take their name off it and text one or two.
	And then, so you respond with a two, says, I understand this seems like a lot of effort, but we want to make sure the Democratic candidates have the best chance to win this November, and this could make a big difference.
	Would you be willing to have your name removed?
	Thank you for your time.
	So, you say two, no, I'm not going to have it removed.
	They say, Thank you for your time.
	Have a nice day.
	You go, What organization is this?
	They say the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
	And this is actually one of the times they were honest.
	We have them on recordings where they call people and they say they are with the Green Party.
	Oh, no.
	They actually called our chairman of the North Carolina Green Party and said they were with the Green Party.
	And he asked them three times: So, you're with the Green Party.
	Oh, yes, I'm a volunteer with the Green Party.
	I'm calling to ask you to have your name removed from the petition.
	They, you know, I mean, so there's a level of fraud here.
	And the whole thing, too, is how this works is our petitions were public records.
	So, Elias Law Firm put in a public records request, got the petitions, matched up names with, I believe, what they have in their Democratic Party donor base, you know, or other methods they can find phone numbers, and then started calling and texting people.
	And they were calling people five, six times a day.
	They were texting people.
	If you texted, if you replied and said, No, I don't want my name taking off, they would come to your door.
	So, they start going to people's door.
	We have people who say, Yeah, I told them no, and then they showed up at my door.
	And they show up the door and they said that they were a Green Party, or they said that they represent a state board of elections.
	I mean, so completely throughout this process, not just harassing people, not just kind of bullying them and shaming them.
	It's going to be your fault if we lose abortion kind of nonsense, but also to lying about who they were.
	I mean, that's the reality of the Democratic Party.
	And so, here's what Ryan Knight says about it: he says, Democrats just fought harder to kick a Green Party candidate off the ballot than they've ever fought against Republicans.
	They make speech after speech about saving democracy, and they've active, and as they're actively destroying it by suppressing the people from having a better choice at the ballot box.
	Here's another one: Imagine if liberals tried to abolish the Electoral College with the same energy they attempt to kick Green Party candidates off the ballot.
	Imagine if they supported ranked choice voting.
	Oh, I forgot Democrats are designed to crush the left and job elections and job elections to Republicans.
	The People's Party tweeted this out.
	Let's get a little support from the People's Party.
	Look at that.
	The Democrats are waging a disgusting campaign to deny Matthew Ho and the Green Party ballot access in North Carolina.
	The same corrupt Democratic Party that preaches voting rights denies millions of Americans the right to vote for third parties.
	We're with you.
	So, that was good to see.
	So, what is the timeline on this going forward?
	I mean, did you expect it to happen this severely?
	I did.
	We did, in the sense that we expected to have this from the Democratic Party per se, not from the state board of elections.
	We had been working with the state board elections.
	We had seen what they had done over the last 30 days.
	We had a great relationship with their investigative team.
	And the fear, though, was that, you know what, at the top of the state board of elections, those folks there, again, their loyalties are to the governor and to the party, and all they need is a little bit of cover.
	So, we were kind of genuinely shocked by how brazen this was because what was presented at the meeting yesterday was not, you know, they're saying there could be as many as 2,000 more signatures, none of which actually counted for anything.
	But all we ever were told were there are 200 signatures.
	So, there's a degree of obsequation here in terms of what they, we don't even know how they get to that number of 2,000.
	So, there's all those things.
	So, the brazenness of it, Jimmy, is what shocks me, not that they did it, that they did this so openly and so smugly, you know, kind of like, what are you going to do about it?
	No.
	You know, and yes.
	Are you getting any coverage in the corporate media about this?
	Local media, yes.
	Excuse me, national media, no.
	We did have a there has been some reporting like an Associated Press, but it's been what you would figure from a large out, just kind of reporting facts only, and they gave us a chance to say one line kind of thing.
	Um, but we've gotten some good local coverage, but national press, no, not at all.
	You know, I mean, and there's so many levels to this.
	One of the things that was brought up by one of the Republican board chair, one of the Republican board members yesterday, was that in 2020, the State Board of Elections didn't verify any signatures.
	And now here they are in 2022.
	Again, they've had them.
	They had it for the 30 days that the statute gives them, and they say, We don't have enough time.
	We need more time.
	Since we don't have more time, we're not going to let you onto the ballot.
	What are you going to do about it, basically?
	So we were expecting to have a legal fight.
	We're expecting to have to fight Elias law group, the North Carolina Democratic Party.
	We're expecting all kinds of challenges to our candidacy and everything else.
	But this early on, and we do have deadlines, kind of like what you brought up earlier.
	They made it clear yesterday, the state board of elections, that there's a mid-August deadline for printing ballots.
	So we have to get all this done in six Weeks in order to make that deadline because that's what they're going to hide behind, kind of as that last barrier of defense for them.
	So you still see people saying things like this.
	I agree, Democrats have got to fight harder, but this is no way, this in no way justifies running a third party candidate when we live in an FPTP system, first past the post system.
	If we had ranked choice voting, maybe I'd consider it.
	But currently, a Green Party candidate would simply increase the odds of Republicans winning.
	So would a Democratic candidate two likes, one Democrat and one Republican.
	So here's what if a Green Party candidates weren't on the ballot, those Green Party voters would be more likely to abstain than to vote blue.
	Acting as if the blue team is entitled to the Green team's votes is not only foolish, but also a jumping point for cult-like behavior.
	So I don't want to beat up on this person because that's a common, they think they're doing the right thing.
	They think they're doing the moral thing.
	Like, hey, I'd love to vote third party, but that's going to make a Republican win.
	And they don't understand that they're being played.
	And that's exactly what the establishment, because that's the unit party, right?
	So what the Democrats are, the Washington generals to the Harlem Globetrotters, which are the Republicans.
	So they have to make it look like they're fighting, but they're all being, you know, the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals, they get paid by the same guy.
	And same thing with the Republicans and the Democrats.
	They all get paid.
	Their donors are the same donor class.
	So it's the military industrial complex.
	It's Wall Street, Big Pharma, Healthcare, and Silicon Valley.
	That's who funds our government.
	That's who runs our government.
	That's why we're sending $54 billion, which is a big grift to the military industrial complex, instead of fixing homelessness in America, which we could have.
	Right, absolutely.
	And, you know, it's not that they don't want me on the ballot.
	It's not that they don't want the green party on the ballot.
	They don't want the people who we represent to have any kind of representations on the ballot.
	They do not want health care on the ballot.
	They do not want housing on the ballot.
	They do not want jobs on the ballot, right?
	I mean, this is we, through our representation of working families, are a threat to exactly what you just said, Jimmy, to their donor base, to their big money donors.
	We are a threat to Raytheon, Pfizer, Monsanto, you know, Goldman Sachs, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
	And that's why they are terrified of us being on the ballot is because we will represent those people who otherwise are not represented.
	And let me just explain this to that person.
	A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the Green Party.
	See, if you have Democrats, GOP, if you vote green, they get the vote.
	That's where it goes.
	It doesn't go to the Republicans.
	And if the Green Party person wasn't on the ballot, that person wouldn't show up to vote, most likely.
	We talked to tens of thousands of people, Jimmy, while we were petitioning.
	And that type of spoiler argument hardly ever came up.
	It really is confined to Twitter.
	It's confined to the people who absorb MSNBC.
	You know, what we see are people who want change because they, their families, their friends, their neighbors are suffering.
	You know, and they understand that this system has created through deliberate policy decisions of the U.S. federal government for 50 years has created a situation where working families and increasingly in the middle class are victimized in order to squeeze all the money to the top that they can, you know, and people understand that.
	And we represent that.
	And that's why they don't want us on there.
	You know, it's very, very simple when it comes down to it and why they don't want us on there.
	And I'll just give one last tweet.
	This guy's, his guy's, his handle is voting rights are democracy.
	And listen to what he says.
	He says, why is some jackass Green Party dude in North Carolina complaining about Democrats?
	Well, that jackass Green Party dude was a combat veteran who was who was injured.
	That's who that jackass Green Party dude is.
	There was a Democrat primary, Cherry Basley won and is the Democratic nominee for the North Carolina Senate seat, not this jackass guy.
	So I don't guess that guy doesn't understand.
	This is a Brooklyn dad defiant, dude.
	There's no way that's a sincere.
	Well, here's his handle.
	And in his bio, he says, over the moon that Kamala Harris is our vice president, Hillary Kamala, Democrat.
	Paid guy, raising damn women.
	Shut up, dude.
	Lifting the voices of Democratic women.
	Shut the fuck up.
	So, yeah, so that guy is just paid shill.
	But that's what people will say about your candidacy.
	So, well, we wish you all the best of luck.
	You know, you seem like the real deal.
	And you know me, I support third parties here at this show.
	And so I would certainly encourage people to support you any way they can.
	And that's the only thing that's going to break this stranglehold that the duopoly has on this, the unit party, right?
	And you are a chump and a mark and a sucker if you think voting Democrat does anything good for you because it doesn't.
	What it does is it reinforces the one-party rule in this country, and they know they can keep doing exactly what they're doing.
	Joe Biden ran on a $15 minimum wage.
	You ain't getting it.
	Joe Biden said he's going to give you a $2,000 check.
	You ain't getting it.
	He said he'd reduce student don't.
	You ain't getting it.
	He said he would legalize marijuana.
	You ain't getting it.
	He said he would give you a public option for health care.
	You ain't getting it.
	You're getting nothing.
	You know who's getting it?
	Military industrial complex, Wall Street, big pharma, health insurance companies, and fossil fuel companies.
	That's who's getting it.
	You are not.
	Because when Joe Biden said nothing fundamentally will change, he wasn't kidding.
	And so if you keep voting Democrat, you are now complicit in the suffering of your neighbor.
	Go ahead.
	Do you think Dinesh D'Souza will be covering this part of the election process?
	It isn't.
	I'm going to guess no.
	I'm going to guess no.
	This is not the kind of free speech thing that Dines D'Souza would be into.
	Well, Matthew, would you stick around?
	I have one story that relates to this if you're interested in sticking around.
	Where can people go to help him?
	Oh, yeah.
	So where can people go?
	Thank you, Steph.
	The campaign website is matthewhofersenate.org, host spelled H-O-H.
	For is F-O-R.
	Please donate.
	As we've been discussing, we're going to have to go to court.
	We're up against the biggest Democratic Party law firm.
	They didn't fool around.

	Let's remember how we got Donald Trump because this is interesting because they're doing it again.
	So how did Hillary Clinton's campaign deliberately elevated Donald Trump with its Pied Piper strategy?
	Now, we told you about this when it actually happened.
	Most other people aren't going to tell you about this.
	So there's this memo.
	This got WikiLeaks revealed this.
	This is a memo.
	And what does that memo say?
	Here's the important part.
	It was their strategy inside the Clinton campaign.
	The Clinton campaign decided to elevate Donald Trump so they could run against Donald Trump because they thought they could beat Donald Trump.
	Turns out they couldn't beat anybody.
	In this scenario, we don't want to marginalize the more extreme candidates, but make them more pieces.
	So they don't want to marginalize Donald Trump.
	They wanted to make them a Pied Piper candidate who actually represents the mainstream of the Republican Party, the Clinton campaign wrote.
	As examples of these Pied Piper candidates, the memo named Donald Trump as well as Senator Ted Cruz and Ben Carson.
	It said, we need to be elevating the Pied Piper candidates so that they are the leaders of the pack and tell the press to take them seriously.
	So Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democrats were telling the press to focus on Donald Trump and take him seriously as an attempt to elevate him so that he could become the nominee so that they can run against him.
	And of course, that's how we got Donald Trump because they're such incompetent, corrupt corporatists that nobody would vote for her.
	She's the most repulsive candidate in the history of our country.
	And they tried to jam them down your throat.
	Here's another one.
	So now I want to show you this.
	Democrats have not stopped doing that.
	They're playing you like a chump.
	Democrats condemn MAGA Republicans while boosting their campaigns.
	What does this mean?
	Here, here's from MSNBC.
	Watch this.
	In Colorado, where the events of January 6th certainly moved large in this, the Republican Senate primary for the right to take on Democratic Senator Michael Bennett this November.
	What you see here is that Joe O'Day has won.
	NBC News is projecting has won the Republican nomination.
	What was interesting in this race, the contrast between O'Day and his challenger, State Representative Ron Hanks.
	Hanks actually attended Donald Trump's speech on January 6th.
	It was the subject of those hearings today.
	He was part of the march to the Capitol on January 6th.
	He said that the 2020 election was marred by fraud.
	Democrats actually spent a lot of money in this race trying to elevate Hanks, believing that his views on January 6th, his views on abortion as well, would make him unelectable in November.
	So now the Democrats are fighting the most radical, crazy right-winger who's the biggest threat to your rights.
	And they're giving him money.
	Matthew, did you think of Clint pretending to be MAGA to get on the ballot?
	Yeah, why don't you keep giving you money?
	Yeah, I've gotten a lot of, I've had repeatedly.
	It's interesting, dude.
	I'm a first-time candidate, you know, and I've been on and off Twitter and everything else, but like I see the same accusations come up over and over again, you know, and the same type of, I got your quips, you know, or real clever thing.
	Like, how much, do you get a cut of Trump's merchandise for doing this?
	You know, like, just, you know, I mean, just so people know who you are this segment, this is Matthew Ho.
	He's running as a Green Party candidate in North Carolina, and the Democrats just tried to block his ballot entry, even though they have enough signatures and they're everything required of them.
	And so that's who Matthew Ho is, and that's why he's speaking right now.
	Go ahead, Matthew.
	So, Scott, you gotta go.
	Oh, I was just saying, you know, I grew up outside New York City.
	You know, I've known Trump my whole life.
	I dislike that guy long before most other people have.
	You know, I mean, in this idea that we have to be one or the other, A or B, blue or red, this identity-type politics, this is what is crushing our country.
	This is why it's so easy for our system to be captured by money.
	Because as we were saying before, Jimmy, right?
	The big, the big donors only have to capture A and B. They don't have to capture C, D, E, and F. Right.
	Right.
	And this prevents people from voting on issues.
	This prevents people from voting on their consciousness, on their conscience.
	This prevents people from voting on their values.
	You know, you're shamed into thinking that you're going to be the reason why abortion is not legal anymore because of how you cast your vote.
	I mean, the whole thing is just so preposterous, particularly seeing you had 50 years to protect abortion and you just didn't do anything to do at all.
	And as you were rattling off, you did a lot of things that didn't help.
	I've got a very dirty joke from the Marine Corps, I can tell, but I don't think that's the right thing to do right now.
	Maybe off camera, I'll tell you.
	But I mean, like, in the sense, though, of like this, the problem with the two-party system is not just it's corrupt, not that it's worsening things, but it perpetuates a deadly status quo.
	And the people that I've come across as I've been running who say, well, we can worry about health care later.
	We can worry about housing later.
	They generally have health care.
	They generally aren't dealing with their rank going up 20, 25% as people here in North Carolina are.
	You know what I mean?
	So there is an insincerity to that argument that exposes the fact that these people really don't have that connection to the issues via themselves or their loved ones that I can tell you, all the folks on my campaign do, everyone on my campaign, they're doing this because of people they love and the way they see those people being brutalized by our political system.
	So there's more to this video in Steve Carnacky.
	Let's listen because the Democrats aren't just doing it one place.
	They're doing it all over the place.
	Watch this.
	That FREC fell short.
	Joe O'Day has said that he accepts as legitimate the 2020 election.
	He also calls himself pro-choice, says he would vote to codify Roe versus Wade federally if he had the opportunity to do so.
	And so as I say, O'Day wins the primary, sets up a general election battle between O'Day and Democrat Michael Bennett.
	Colorado a state that's been trending towards the Democrats very much over the last decade or two.
	Biden won this state by about 13 and a half points in 2020.
	The question is, is O'Day moderate enough that in the climate of 2022, he can make this a close and competitive Senate race?
	That's one question we're going to find out in the months ahead.
	One other story of note, I think, to tell you here.
	We talk about Democrats getting involved in some of these Republican primaries.
	In Illinois, Democrats spent upwards of $30 million trying to assure that this exactly what you're seeing here would happen.
	Darren Bailey, a very conservative state senator from downstate Illinois, has romped to the Republican nomination For governor over a much more moderate candidate, Richard Irvin, the mayor of Aurora, Illinois.
	Irving wouldn't even say whether he had voted for Donald Trump.
	Bailey was endorsed by Donald Trump.
	Democrats spent big trying to get Bailey boosted here, believing again that he'd be a very beatable candidate.
	Bailey gets the nomination.
	It sets up for him a general election showdown with the incumbent governor, J.B. Pritzker.
	Pritzker won this seat in 2018.
	He got 55% of the vote back then.
	This is a gamble.
	Democrats are taking it Illinois.
	They think they've identified a very beatable candidate.
	They spent very heavily.
	Now we'll see if their bet pays off as they get the Republican opponent they were hoping for, the governorship.
	So they spent the Democrats, instead of spending $30 million on their own candidate, instead of spending $30 million to help people, they spent $30 million to prop up a right-wing mental case who's against women's right to choose and everything that Democrats care about.
	There was another politician that was running that was more moderate, that was more agreeable to the Democrats' positions.
	They didn't want that guy.
	They don't want you to have two good choices.
	They don't want you to have two choices that show that they're the same because they are.
	They need to show you that this guy's a crazy maniac.
	So this is what Malcolm X talked about: that they have to show you a fox so you run towards the wolf.
	Right?
	So that's exactly what this is.
	So they go, look, look at that fox.
	Look at the Republicans, how crazy they are.
	Now you have to come vote for us, but they're a wolf in sheep's clothing.
	So go ahead, Kurt.
	Okay, so this video, a friend of mine, who I won't say their name because they're a famous person, I don't want them to be attacked by Andy Kindler.
	So this person sent me this video.
	Okay, that I said, Jimmy, is a very famous person.
	Yeah, this is what they text me.
	And I bet this counts for a lot of famous people that.
	It's famous and smart.
	People would consider this person very smart.
	So go ahead.
	I had no idea this happens.
	The Democratic Party actually donated millions to extremist Republicans to defeat centrist Republicans that believe in the same things as them.
	These guys aren't even criticizing this on MSNBC.
	They're just stating it as a fact of strategy.
	It's just interesting to them.
	Yes.
	My friend was blown away watching this.
	They couldn't believe what they were looking at.
	Yeah.
	Had no idea it was like that.
	And a bunch of people have no idea that it's like that.
	They have no idea that that's how we got Donald Trump.
	They don't know that's why we got Donald Trump, that Hillary Clinton and the Democrats rigged it so they can run against Donald Trump.
	But of course, they couldn't beat him because they're so corrupt.
	And people were done voting for corporate Democrats.
	And they got the worst candidate in the history of our country, Hillary Clinton, to run as a Democrat.
	So yes.
	And it's not only happening there.
	So yes, so people don't know.
	So that's why people, when I criticize Democrats, people call me a right-winger or a Republican because they don't know what's going on that I'm actually criticizing them from the left.
	I criticize Democrats not because I sympathize or favor Republicans.
	I criticize Democrats because they are Republicans.
	That's why.
	And that's why they don't want to run against a centrist Republican because they fucking are that.
	They are Republicans.
	The fact that people don't know this shows us that even Democrats really don't watch MSNBC.
	That's right.
	Well, do you know more Democrats watch Tucker Carlson than watch Rachel Maddow?
	More Democrats in the demo watch Tucker Carlson than watch Rachel Maddow.
	What does that tell you?
	Also, they're still doing it.
	Look in Pennsylvania.
	Take Pennsylvania, where Democratic gubernatorial candidate and state attorney general Josh Shapiro spent $1.7 million on TV ads boosting the conservative credentials of gubernatorial candidate and state senator Douglas Mastriano, a far-right candidate who bused rallygoers to the Capitol on January 6th and who was subpoenaed by the House Select Committee investigating the events of that day.
	Democrats are giving that guy almost $2 million, this guy, who bussed rallygoers to the Capitol on January 6th.
	Do you think they care about you?
	Do you think they care about this country?
	Or do they only care about a power grab?
	That's exactly what the Democrats are because they are Republicans.
	And so they have to make up phony issues for you to vote for them on.
	The balls of this on top of it to blame you if you don't vote for them and then actually give money to someone you're telling me is Hitler so that you look good.
	I mean, you don't think that's a little risky of a strategy?
	Hey, by the way, AOC takes the money you give her and she gives it to right-wing Democrats, just so you know.
	Here's one more.
	That single ad buy, according to amounted, that's $1.7 million.
	That amounted to more money than Mastorano's campaign spent during the entire primary.
	The Democrats are spending more money than the actual right-wing Republican candidates are on their own campaign.
	Democrats are giving them more money.
	Mastorado, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump, won the key battleground states Republican gubernatorial primary.
	So it worked.
	The Democrats got a crazy right-winger to run against them.
	And now they have to cross their fingers and hope that guy doesn't win.
	And this isn't new.
	So this is from 2018.
	Michael Sonato wrote this in 2018.
	Instead of manipulating Republican, they've been doing this ever since Claire McCaskill in 2012.
	They've been doing this.
	Spending money to prop up super right-wing creepy guys so they can run against a super right-wing creepy guy instead of a regular Republican, which is what Democrats are.
	So instead of manipulating Republican primaries, which are out of Democrats' control, Democrats should be focusing their resources on their own candidates and campaigns.
	Democrats need to campaign on the strength of their candidates rather than the weakness of their opponents.
	The Pied Piper strategy is dangerous.
	When it fails, far-right extremist candidates attain positions of power.
	It also breeds attack ads and dirty politics, as opposed to focusing on issues that actually resonate with voters.
	In the wake of the 2016 election, the Democratic Party is looking for a band-aid approach to its larger problems, opting to create unrest in the opposing party over reconciling its own internal battles.
	As it seeks to avoid unifying with progressives, the Democratic Party risks greater losses at the hands of far-right Republicans.
	Because the Democrats don't want to team up with people who are actually left, who actually stand for what the Democrats say they stand for, which is a living wage, ending the wars, health care, free college, stuff like that.
	Instead of actually embracing the people who agree with that, they're embracing the far-right-wing nuts funding them so they can run against them because they know they're not going to do anything for you and you have no reason to vote for them instead of voting out of fear.
	And we have people like Matthew Ho running as a Green Party candidate in North Carolina, and they're so afraid of putting health care on the ballot.
	They're so afraid of putting a living wage or ending the wars on the ballot that they just blocked him from being on the ballot.
	Really?
	I thought third parties were stupid and they don't have any power.
	Why don't you let them have a chance at the free market of ideas?
	See if people like their ideas.
	No, they can't do that.
	That's why the Democrats have to fund ultra-right-wing maniacs and keep actual left-wingers off the ballot because they're so corrupt, they know you're not going to vote for them for any other reason.
	Matthew, you'd like to make a comment?
	Yeah, I mean, I guess, first of all, I should say every time I see a clip like that, I remind myself that the best decision I've made in the last eight years was getting rid of cable TV.
	You know what I mean?
	Right.
	But the idea that it's one big club and you're not in it, you know, that George Carlin said so well so many years ago.
	And the way that the things that are important to both the Democrats and Republicans, the money, their donors, the Wall Street, the wars, et cetera, are what come through and that they have a very real effect on that.
	So here in North Carolina, we're experiencing this crisis where corporations are coming in and buying entry-level homes, buying homes that working families should be buying, but now they're being priced out because corporations are coming in.
	The genesis of that explains what I'm talking about.
	So, Jimmy, I know you talk a lot about how Barack Obama let 12 million American families lose their homes while he bailed out the banks.
	Those banks then took that money, they turned around and they bought those foreclosed homes.
	And that began this process in 2011, 2012, 2013, where the banks through their, you know, through their various other companies are purchasing these homes.
	And now it's at the point where we're seeing one in four, one in five homes being bought by corporations, and that is causing housing prices to, you can't buy a house near me in North Carolina for less than $300,000.
	And a rent in my part of North Carolina is getting close to $1,600 a month.
	If we had an annualized living wage like we should do, and which we advocate for, based on local housing costs, you would need to be making at least $22 an hour to afford a two-bedroom apartment.
	And meanwhile, our minimum wage here is $725.
	And of course, that's something that, you know, the Democrats and the Republicans agree upon.
	Money to Wall Street, you know, force all the money to come out of the working class to them.
	And yeah, this is why we're kept off.
	Here's what Nancy Pelosi says about the Republican Party.
	Now, keep the note, as you listen to this, keep in mind, at this very moment, her PACs are funding the most radical right-wing crazy people in the world.
	She's literally funding them.
	As she says this, she's funding them.
	I would say to my Republican friends, and I do have some, take back your party.
	The Republican Party, the grand old party, is tremendous.
	Take back your party as we give $30 million to the guy running against your party, the guy trying to make sure you can't take back your party.
	We're going to fund the crazy people inside your party that make it impossible for you to take back your party because that's the only way we can win an election.
	So she's just 100% gaslighting lying because she's 100% criminal liar.
	She's 100 millionaire and she got $100 million while she was in Congress.
	And as Harry Truman said, there's only one kind of people that become rich in government and those are criminals.
	Nancy Pelosi is a criminal who should be in prison and doesn't give a shit about you.
	And that's why she says things.
	She's pissing in your face and she's telling you it's raining right now.
	Here we go.
	Contributions to our country.
	Founded by Lincoln.
	But over the years, tremendous contribution to our country.
	Don't let your party be hijacked by a cult.
	Essentially, that is.
	No, let it be hijacked by, you know, Wall Street, military industrial complex, big pharma, blue cross, blue shield, Facebook, Instagram.
	Let it be taken over by them.
	Don't let it become a cult of actual voters.
	She goes, I have two things to tell you.
	Take back your party and get your kid out of my way while I'm taking a picture.
	Get this kid out of here.
	Get this kid out of here.
	Here, she's got more to say.
	What is happening?
	And it isn't good for the country.
	We, of course, want the Democrats to be preeminent, but that's secondary to the fact that we need to have strong representation across the board in our country.
	So that's called bullshit.
	That's called pissing in your face and telling you it's raining.
	And that's what Nancy Pelosi is.
	She's a lying, corrupt, evil, rapacious oligarch who doesn't give a shit about you.
	And if you think she does, you're the chump.
	You're the chump.
	So let's end this, give the last word to the North Carolina Green Party candidate who is being screwed over by the Democrats there right now.
	Matthew Ho, what would you like to say to end this segment?
	By the way, people can go, now he's got the right stance on mandates.
	So I like this guy now a lot.
	It could have gone the other way.
	I was really treated like our lawyer was treated by the partisan chairman yesterday.
	Well, the black caucus inside the Green Party got it right on mandates, but it's people like Howie Hawkins, who I think is compromised 100%.
	Howie Hawkins is a Russiagator.
	Howie Hawkins, if he's not compromised, if he's not getting a check by the CIA or the FBI, he should be because he's doing their bidding inside the party.
	I know I shouldn't put you on the spot by saying that, but that's what's happening.
	And the white people running the Green Party are fucking mental.
	Howie Hawkins and the people around him, they're wrong about everything, and they're corrupt.
	They're in bed with the people that they claim to be fighting against.
	And they're not.
	They're not fighting against anybody.
	They're the status quo now, guys like Howie Hawkins.
	So that's what's wrong with the Green Party.
	But the black caucus inside the Green Party got it right.
	What's your position on that?
	On mandates or on the black caucus or on crazy people running political parties or what was the take your pick.
	I will say this.
	I'll say this.
	My view of political parties are that when they become a purpose in and of itself, that's when they lose any value.
	And that on the left, we need to build a movement.
	And there are people Medunus for decades, so I don't want to step on any toes, but where the political party is just an appendage.
	It's just one arm of the body, and it does nothing more than provide political efforts for, in my opinion, a movement of working families.
	And then you need other efforts.
	You need mutual aid.
	You need education.
	You need labor organizing.
	You need communication and media, but it's all part of a body.
	And that's where I come down on this issue of what we should be trying to build on the left is this movement that has a political party as its operating arm in order to accomplish it because otherwise it probably becomes a party for itself.
	Who's the constituency then?
	And you know, as well as I do, you get in these circles where the idea that you're the ideology is what guides these people, but they've got no connection to real folks.
	Kind of like you're saying before, these people who tell you that we shouldn't be voting on issues like health care and housing are People who have health care and don't have any fears about their housing.
	You know what I mean?
	But I really appreciate your time, Jimmy.
	Kurt, staff, thank you guys so much.
	My website is matthewho for senate.org.
	Yeah, we've got this big legal fight against the against the biggest Democratic Party law firm and the state of North North Carolina coming up.
	So if people can contribute and help us, that will allow us to do the kinds of things that we are talking about.
	All right, Matthew Ho, running for Senate, North Carolina Green Party.
	Thank you for your time.
	Thanks for coming on and good luck to you.
	Thank you so much.
	Bell rings Hey, who's this?
	Hello.
	This is Jimmy Dore.
	Yes, this is Jimmy Door.
	This is Willem.
	I'm a Dutch farmer.
	Hi, Willem.
	How are you?
	I hear your...
	I have a problem with the country.
	And I just want to, on behalf of Dutch farmers, remind you that it's always an option to go and spray shit on the government buildings.
	Because that's what we just did in the Netherlands.
	We'll do whatever we want.
	First of all, the country exists because we created the dikes and reclaimed it from the sea.
	We reclaimed our country from the ocean.
	And so we are definitely going to reclaim it from these cocksuckers in the government buildings in Amsterdam.
	We'll do that for sure.
	And if we need to spray shit on him to do it, that's what we'll do.
	And I just want to let you know, in America, you have an option as well to say, fuck you.
	We're going to spray shit on you because you're not doing what you're supposed to do.
	Well, why don't they do that here?
	Very simple.
	I don't understand why this poses happen in your country.
	I don't understand why either.
	I really don't.
	I don't know what we're with.
	Do you have a low-supply shit?
	No, we have plenty of shit.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if you've ever driven from Los Angeles to San Francisco, but there is a shit farm in the middle.
	And there's a whole farm of it.
	Yes.
	It's as if that's what they're doing.
	They're growing shit at that farm, right?
	You know the one I'm talking about, right?
	Yeah.
	Wait, they grow it.
	Or make it.
	I don't know.
	Do you know what shit is?
	What do you mean they grow shit?
	you What the fuck?
	Hold on.
	Do things work.
	I know it's different in America, but I didn't want to use it.
	No, I get it.
	All right.
	Well, how did you come up with the idea to spray manure on government buildings as a form of protest?
	Well, Jan said, hey, Willem, let's go spray shit on government buildings.
	I was like, that sounds like a great idea for me to do.
	And so we went down to Amsterdam to the Bauer Londskonchara and sprayed shit on it.
	I mean, don't overthink things is what I'm trying to convey to you.
	Don't overthink it.
	Okay.
	Well, I really, I wish you much luck in the protest.
	Has it worked so far?
	Has it gotten any progress?
	Well, the politicians are staying inside the building.
	I tell you they much since they know they're going to be sprayed with shit if they come outside the door.
	So that in our minds gives them incentive to stay inside and reconsider the land policy that they are trying to undertake in the Netherlands.
	I saw that you sprayed some manure right on some cops.
	Oh, well, they're pigs.
	Pigs love shit.
	Oh.
	Let's give them a little treat.
	They're pigs.
	Pigs love shit.
	Okay.
	Farke, as we say in Dutch, Farken.
	Well, what do you make of the climate?
	People are inserting it into this bit.
	Pigs are farkin.
	People are saying that climate change is real and that you guys have to close your farms.
	But doesn't that just mean that someone else is going to make it?
	It's not like people are.
	I'll probably be honest with you.
	I have not done any research in the story.
	Yeah.
	So I'm flying to the bottom.
	I just thought about it.
	If they're making those Dutch farmers reduce their farms, it's not like people are going to start eating less.
	Someone else is just going to make the food.
	All right.
	Anyway, all right.
	Well, listen.
	I'm trying to make, you know, we're trying to make a living here in the low countries with the land reclaimed from the ocean, which took centuries to do.
	So we're going to grow our food.
	And if you don't like it, we spray shit.
	Yeah.
	I Okay, thank you, Dutch farmer.
	Thank you, Willem.
	My name is Willem van de Vries.
	Okay.
	Oh, of course it is.
	Okay.
	We have three surnames in the entire entire country.
	What are they?
	De Vries?
	Yes.
	Vandervoort?
	Smith.
	Okay, Willem.
	Great to talk to you.
	Everyone else with a different name is fucking Belgian.
	I like the disdain you have for the Belgians.
	All right, brother, we got to run because great talking to you.
	Why, where do you go?
	I'm out of shit.
	I don't have anything to spray it on.
	No, I have to go get on a plane to go.
