Beep.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jimmy.
This is former New York Governor Andrew Kwom.
The bull.
Oh, that's right.
Hi, Governor.
It's been a while.
How are you doing?
Oh, you know, I'm fine.
Just hanging out.
Keeping my eye on things as I always do.
Can you believe this Donald Trump business?
*laughs*
What do you mean?
Can you believe how corrupt he is?
I've never seen corruption so bad.
Honestly, I'm flabbergasted.
But I suppose it's good that he's finally being able to do it.
It's the corruption that really gets to you, I can tell.
Oh, it does.
Yeah.
I think it's good that he's being brought to justice and that everyone is paying attention to all this.
Why, it's all that CNN is even talking about.
Well, that and Liz are getting in trouble for body shaving.
Did you see that one coming?
So you think it's good, do you?
Yes, Jimmy, I do.
Because if Donald Trump is brought to justice, it will show the American people that politicians can't get away with this kind of stuff.
Or at least that will be the general impression they walk away with.
Uh-huh.
So the rest of us politicians can get away with murder.
Exactly.
I see you got.
I got it.
I knew you'd have an angle, Mr. Governor.
You did, I bet you did.
Oh, Mama Mia, you know me too well, Jimmy.
Too well.
We have fun.
*laughter*
Yeah, sure.
What kind of corruption are you talking about?
You know what?
How about I take you up to dinner and we talk about it or me, my treat.
I don't think so, Andrew.
Come on.
Out there in LA somewhere, what is a place you've always wanted to go to, but is so fancy and expensive, you're saving it for the most special occasion of special occasions.
Your dream restaurant, just name it.
Doesn't even have to be Italian.
Um, how um I would say Gucci's in Beverly Hills.
Oh, nice choice.
But how do you have the money to take me out to the most expensive restaurant I can think of?
Aren't you unemployed?
Oh, I won't be paying technically.
The Andrew Cuomo Campaign Fund will be paying.
Well, what?
You still have a campaign fund?
Why?
Well, of course.
It's still left over from when I ran for governor the last time.
It's a legal and financial entity.
You don't spend all that money during a campaign.
There's always some left over.
Really?
How much?
Oh, just a pittance, really.
$7.6 million, you say.
Probably enough for dinner for two at Gucci's, including Tim.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
So that's your personal.
So that's your personal spending fund.
That's your money.
Now, hold on, Johnny Cakes.
Not exactly.
But since I routinely call your show and talk about my potential, potential political comeback, I have you listed as a political consultant, even though you hate me.
So as long as at dinner, we briefly talk about campaigning, even in general sense, it counts.
The rest of the time is just two fucking bulls enjoying Kanye.
That doesn't sound right.
You're telling me this fund also pays for $1,500 a month storage facilities.
What?
What are you storing?
Oh, my shit.
Since I resigned as governor and wasn't impeached and didn't have a permanent residence upon having to move out of the governor's mansion, all my personal goods can be stored on the campaign funds dime.
Isn't that nice?
This is kind of unbelievable.
Oh, it gets better, believe me.
I bet.
I bet.
Buckle the fuck up, my pugilistic Irish friend.
So, Jimmy, you know how I'm fighting two legal cases simultaneously?
Yes, of course.
Well, believe me, that is not cheap.
Luckily, I can pay my legal fees, which are substantial, out of the Andrew Cuomo Campaign Fund.
Like, legally?
Of course.
Because these legal matters arose in the course of me serving the people of New York as governor, which remains my greatest achievement and greatest honor.
Okay, this is absolutely unconscionable.
Hold on, I'm not fucking done.
Here's the best part: since I've been winning these cases, that is to say, that is to say, vindicated, the lion's share of my legal fees will be reimbursed with taxpayer dollars.
Oh, my God.
That's right.
Money from the people of New York State will go back into the Andrew Cormo campaign fund.
So I can spend 1,500 clams a month to store all my divorced guy shit.
So start thinking about fucking appetizers.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Wow, you know, it's almost as if our entire political system is rigged to financially benefit politicians.
Yeah, you get it.
Donald Trump's only mistake was that he didn't know how to do it right.
The rest of us, smooth sailing.
So, yeah, it's good that he's being brought to justice and that I am being brought to Mostrose Steakhouse once a week.
So let's just all pay attention to Donald Trump getting in trouble.
It's good for America and it's good for me.
So all I ask is you do your part and dedicate 80% of your show to disgusting Donald Trump.
That's not too much to ask, is it?
Yeah, it is.
And you can take your dinner invite and put it, you know, up your know-what.
Okay, fair enough.
How about just getting the cronies at a hotel bar somewhere?
No.
Well, I'll think about it.
I knew you'd come around, baby.
I'll be in touch.
Until then, remember, there's no such thing as a free lunch.
But if you're in politics, free money's just sitting on the counter.
Ciao me and me cheap.
Ciao.
Hahaha.
Hahaha.
Yeah.
Establishment media sets of artists fighting.
So good luck with bullshit.
We can't afford fomenting this world.
Watch and see as a jack dog.
Comedium speeds and jumps the medium and hits him head on.
It's the chimney tour show.
This is Hunter Biden's business partner, right?
This is the guy who he hooked up with at a private equity firm, and that got them a bunch of bribes from Ukraine.
So that's who that is.
His name is Devin Archer.
And why do I bring him up?
Because he was scheduled to give testimony on Monday about his business dealings with Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.
And they tried to throw him in jail first.
Craig, tell people what they did.
Well, he's got sentenced for a year, something completely unrelated about defronting some Indians.
And he's supposed to be sentenced to a year to jail.
They haven't had a date set.
So they immediately try to say, well, you got to report right now on Monday when he was set to testify.
So therefore, he couldn't testify.
And he still is, you know, pushing back against.
He claims he was innocent in the crime.
But then they retracted it like six hours later.
And this is on a Saturday when the DOJ never works, never has anything coming out.
So they first tried to say we're going to take him away then so he couldn't testify.
Then they said, oh, no, in a letter, we didn't mean that.
He can go and testify and whatnot.
And then he went to his closed-door testimony on Monday.
So here's how they're reporting his testimony.
Hunter sold the illusion of access to Joe Biden.
Democrats say, not that he actually gave access to his business partners to Joe Biden.
He just, he was, it was Hunter doing a trickeroo, and Joe Biden didn't know anything about it.
That's what they're trying to make it look like.
In fact, according to Representative Dan Goldman, that's a Democrat from New York, Archer testified that Hunter Biden was selling the illusion of access to his father.
No, he was selling access to his father.
And so they were going to get, this is why, why did how did Hunter Biden get this job with this guy?
Here's how it happened.
You know, our partnership started in 2008, 2009-ish.
Conversation started.
That's when I remet Hunter and actually had a sit down and meal with him and talked about the transition from lobbying into strategic advisory and then kind of, you know, some type of coalescence around having a private equity fund that would have this unique access and understanding of a regulatory environment.
So why are they laughing?
Because the reason why Hunter got hired, he didn't know anything about business.
He didn't know anything about private equity.
He didn't know anything about anything, but he was supposed to handle the regulatory stuff.
That's what they said.
So they got him a job.
Hunter Biden got a job with this equity firm because he was supposed to work on regulatory issues.
Right?
So that means he's got connections inside government and they can screase the wheels on the regulations.
And that's what his job was.
And that's why they all laughed.
They go, you know, and Hunter's going to work on regulatory issues.
And they all laughed, right?
So after that, Archer and Hunter Biden were business partners.
They both got jobs on Burisma's board in 2014.
Isn't that weird?
They both got jobs on the Burisma board in 2014.
And what was happening then?
That was when Burisma, this energy board in Ukraine, was being investigated by a prosecutor in Ukraine for corruption because they're corrupt.
That's why Hunter Biden got an $83,000 a month job without doing anything.
He doesn't know anything about energy boards or anything, except his father is the vice president at the time.
So they gave him a million-dollar Payment up front, I'm pretty sure, and then $83,000 a month for doing nothing.
And both of them got those jobs, both those guys.
And here is Joe Biden.
And why did they want to bribe the Bidens?
Why did Burisma want to buy?
Because they were being investigated by an investigator in a prosecutor in Ukraine.
And Joe Biden got that guy fired.
The guy who was investigating Burisma, the company that gave his job to his kid.
And this is why they did that, because Joe Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy for the Biden administration.
And this is the regulatory action that Hunter got done.
Watch this.
And I had gotten a commitment from Porisma.
So Joe Biden goes to Ukraine.
He was going to give them another billion or $2 billion in loan guarantees, but he wanted them to fire this prosecutor.
And when the time came to go make the announcement, they said at the Ukraine, the president said, we're not going to fire that guy.
And so here we go.
And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yachenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't.
So he said the president of that country was going to fire the prosecutor, and they didn't.
And so what did Joe Biden do?
So they said they were walking out to press conference.
I said, no, I said, I'm not going to, or we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
They said, you have no authority.
You're not the president.
The president said, I said, call him.
I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
I said, you're not getting a billion.
I'm going to be leaving here.
I think it was, what, six hours?
I looked at it.
I'm leaving in six hours.
If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.
Oh, son of a b ⁇ .
Got fired.
And they put him.
So that's why they gave Hunter Biden and his business partner no-show jobs on an energy board that they know anything about for $83,000 a month plus a million-dollar upfront payment.
And that's what it got those guys at Burisma.
They got the vice president of the United States to withhold a billion dollars from Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor who was investigating them.
So that's unbelievable corruption.
But of course, ABC News is saying it's just the illusion of access.
Well, here's what Devin Archer actually said in his testimony.
He said Barisma would have gone out of business sooner if the Biden brand brand had not been invoked because people would be intimidated to legally mess with Burisma because of the Biden family brand.
So what do you think that's exactly what that means?
That people were afraid to investigate Burisma because Joe Biden will come in with his American clout money and power and screw you, which he just did to that prosecutor.
Here's another guy.
So another Republican chair, the chairman of the committee, said in a statement that Archer testified that Burisma executive asked Hunter Biden to, quote, call DC after a board meeting in Dubai.
Who's Hunter calling in D.C.?
I wonder.
I wonder who the Burisma people wanted Hunter to call in DC.
Maybe his kids.
Who knows?
So now here's Tucker Carlson actually got access to this Devin Archer guy, and he's going to explain to you how he got this job.
So how many it's been reported and you have said that there were occasions when Joe Biden would call in.
So this is the big story is did Joe Biden, was he aware that his son, and did he help his son with influence peddling to get millions of dollars in bribes?
And this is going to reveal to you that, yes, in fact, Joe Biden did know.
Here we go.
So how many it's been reported and you have said that there were occasions when Joe Biden would call in with clients present on a speakerphone.
Right.
How many times do you think that happened?
I mean, over a 10-year partnership, I would, you know, the number I'm going with is 20.
That's probably the.
So there were 20 times when this guy and Hunter Biden are trying to schmooze some clients and get some bribes from them because Hunter Biden can fix stuff because of his father.
And so to impress upon those potential clients, they get Joe Biden, who's the vice president, to call in on a speakerphone during their meeting.
You think that was an accident?
You don't think Joe Biden knew what he was doing?
Of course he did.
This is called influence peddling and it got the Bidens millions of dollars.
Here we go.
The amount that I kind of record a lot.
So at least 20 times.
So that didn't happen once, twice, five, 10, 15 times.
According to him, at least 20 times.
Probably more.
20 times.
That's almost twice a month for a year.
Very much a product of Washington.
Of course, must have known that he was calling in to effectively a business meeting that his son was having.
I mean, he must have understood that that was kind of what his son was selling.
Well, that's, I mean, it's hard for me to speculate.
But like, I guess my question, just to keep it to the facts, Joe Biden, then the sitting vice president, knew that there were Hunter's business associates in the room.
Yeah, I think I could definitively say at particular dinners or meetings, he knew there were business associates.
Or if I was there, I was a business associate too.
So I think, or if, you know, any of the other colleagues from the DC office or the New York office were there.
So yeah, at times there were.
From the, you know, to be, you know, completely clear on the calls, I don't know if it was an orchestrated call in or not.
It certainly was powerful, though, because, you know, if you're sitting with a foreign business person and you hear the vice president's voice, that's surprise enough.
I mean, that's pretty impactful stuff for anyone.
It's been reported, and I know that it is true, that Hunter and his brother were very close to their dad.
Absolutely.
Which I think is great.
I've got a lot of kids.
I'm very close to them.
Talk to them every day.
Never called them on speaker during a business meeting.
That's weird.
You've got a lot of kids.
You're close to them.
Do you call them on speaker during business meetings?
I mean, what is that?
A grown man calling his dad on a speakerphone during a business.
Right.
And to be clear, sometimes it was the call was coming in and the speaker would go on.
So it was, it's just the presence.
You have to be, I mean, you're, you, you understand DC, right?
So the power to have that access and that conversation, and it's not in a scheduled conference call, and that's a part of your family.
That's that's like the pinnacle of power in DC.
100%.
I guess I'm.
So that's exactly what Hunter did.
And he did it at least 20 times in front of this guy.
I wonder how many times he did it when that guy wasn't there.
So these guys are brazen criminals.
Everything you think Trump is.
That's what Joe Biden and his family is.
Brazen criminals.
And Joe Biden has said repeatedly he never ever even talked to his kid Hunter about his business deals.
And how dare you?
He does that thing, you know?
Well, watch this.
We found this letter kind of amazing.
It's from January 20th, 2011, which I think puts you in your late 30s, mid to late 30s.
Okay, so you're a younger man.
This is from the Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, to you personally, and it's personalized here at the bottom.
Devin Archer, Rosemont, Seneca Partners, that was your partnership with Hunter Biden in Georgetown.
Dear Devin, I apologize for not getting a chance to talk to you at the luncheon yesterday.
I was having trouble getting away from hosting President Hu, Xintang, who's running China at that point.
I hope I get a chance to see you again soon with Hunter.
I hope you enjoyed lunch.
Thanks for coming.
Sincerely, Joseph R. Biden Jr.
P.S. Handwritten, happy you guys are together.
So there are many levels here, but here's the vice president of the United States saying to you, a man in his mid-30s, who's not a government official, I'm sorry, I was occupied with the guy who runs the world's largest country.
I would much rather talk to you and thank you.
What was he thanking you for?
Well, you know, first of all, it's a lovely letter and it was quite enthusiastic.
It's a little weird, though, right?
Yeah, well, it was, listen, it was, it was kind of the beginning of our partnership, and he was thanking me and thanking Hunter, I think, at the end of the day for bringing this idea of this government regulatory strategic advisory business into the private equity world.
And I think he was.
He was really thanking us for starting this crazy business that no one ever thought of before.
This private, public, private enterprise.
He was all excited.
Like, finally, Hunter's going to, he's got me a cash flow.
He figured it out.
He got this Devin Archer guy and they've set up a shell company.
And now they're going to get bribes on my name.
He's excited.
Yeah.
That's what that is.
Excited about the prospects for Hunter.
And, you know, he was just thanking me.
I think it was a nice gesture.
It was a nice.
For sure.
For sure.
Very polite.
He gets a 10 on the etiquette scale.
But he's a vice president of the United States, and he's talking about foreign business deals with you and thanking you for that.
Right.
I think, again, it goes back to my earlier point.
Yeah, I think I hit that time.
I think I hit the jackpot in finding the regulatory environment or company that can navigate right to the top.
But, you know, obviously, as time's told, you know.
So there's Joe Biden lying, lying again at the top of his lungs, indignantly pointing his finger at you, saying that I never had anything to do, never anything to do with my son's business.
There he is, calling in 20 times into business meetings that his son is having with foreign nationals about business, millions of dollars in business.
There he is, his father calling in on a speakerphone to meetings his son is having with potential clients with this other guy who knows that it's all about influence peddling.
And he can't stop laughing about it.
Like, yeah, this is like our job.
Let me throw it over to Craig.
Craig, what do you have to say about this?
Well, you know, I think that Devin Archer hit the lottery there.
In fact, like, yo, they hit it big when it came to that.
And, you know, there's so much more evidence that's come out that just shows that they knew what was all going on.
They understood that Joe Biden was involved.
I think in 2011, there was an email from Hunter to Devin, which he said, they don't like me for who I am.
They like me because of my last name, pretty much saying they like it because I'm Hunter Biden.
I'm Joe Biden's son.
And they referred to this one particular guy that they said who likes me for the last name.
His name was, I got to look at it down, Che Feng, who they referred to as the super chairman because he's a Chinese oligarch, has all these connections.
And he introduced Joe Biden to this guy named Jonathan Lee of Ojai.
And they had coffee together.
And even Joe Biden wrote a letter for this guy from Ojai Partners, Jonathan Lee, a letter for his daughter to go to a college.
I mean, so they have all this evidence on them.
And then eventually these guys got burner phones.
And a couple days later, Devin Archer was at the White House.
So they have all this evidence just piling up for them.
I mean, I think they're laughing hysterically, Jimmy, because they know.
I mean, how can you sit there with a straight face and say, you know, what Joe said?
He goes, Hunter's a smart guy.
No, it was to get to you.
It was to get access to you to get what they wanted.
I mean, it's almost impossible to hide this right now.
They're caught red-handed.
And I can't see a way, a way out of this in which the Republicans are not going to try to impeach Joe Biden on all this information now.
So you got the IRS whistleblowers saying that the Biden administration intervened in their investigation of Hunter Biden.
They stopped them.
The IRS whistleblowers, career Democrats, people who are Democrats, career IRS employees, saying that they were stopped from investigating.
And now we have evidence that they lied.
Joe Biden lied when he said he didn't have anything to do with the business dealings of his son Hunter.
Of course he did.
And plus, we showed you that video where he fired the guy from Burisma, the prosecutor who was prosecuting Burisma in Ukraine.
Or else he wouldn't give a billion dollars in loan guarantees to the Ukraine government.
And so that's what he, so that's what they got for.
They gave Hunter Biden a million bucks up front and they gave him $83,000 a month for nothing.
And what did they get?
They got that guy fired.
That's their regulatory.
That's Hunter Biden's expertise in the regulations.
Yeah.
And by the way, Jimmy, I got the New York Post over here from the other day.
Everything, the first three pages is always conspiracy to defraud Trump.
It's on every single paper.
But if you look in there on one small page, they got a little bit about the Biden crime family there.
But you got story after story on Donald Trump going after him for his new indictments.
What is that?
That's the post.
This is the New York Post.
They got the Ukrainian flag over there.
I thought that, oh my God.
Why did I think that the Post was sympathetic to Trump?
And no, they just do have some conservatives in there that do kind of fire back and they will have some stories and they have it over there.
But the majority of the paper is still, you know, shitlibby.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Okay.
I never read the paper.
They do have some conservative followers.
It's obvious that this is a little bit more conservative than the New York Times, but still, I mean, yeah.
This idea that Joe Biden is a decent man instead of what he is, a war criminal and a serial-lying racist who screws workers.
That's what Joe Biden is.
He's not a decent guy.
He's the worst of the worst, which is why he rose to the top of politics because he's the biggest, most reliable tool to screw Americans that the establishment can find.
That's how you get to be president if you're willing to screw Americans at the behest of corporations and the donor class.
That's why Barack Obama became president.
He got more money from Wall Street than his Republican opponent.
WikiLeaks revealed Barack Obama's entire cabinet came from an email from Citibank.
And he immediately kicked 5.1 million families out of their homes while he made sure the bankers didn't mix their bonuses.
And then he instituted a right-wing health care plan, which was a giveaway to Big Pharma and the health insurance companies.
That's why he was allowed to be president.
The first black, you think the first black president was actually going to help black people?
You think they would have let him become president?
No.
They would have demonized him and did a character assassination and said he was a terrorist.
That's what they would have done.
If Barack Obama was actually going to help black people, that's what they would have said about him.
But he wasn't going to help black people.
So they loved him.
Wall Street loved him.
The media loved him.
And he kept instituting right-wing policies.
In fact, he admitted it.
So Joe Biden, I guess the point of this is these people aren't what they seem or what they say the media says they are.
They're exact opposite.
Joe Biden's a bigger criminal than Donald Trump by far.
And Jimmy, there's a bill out there that shows he screws everybody.
He screws workers.
You know, he screws black and brown people with the crime bill, how that hurt them.
He screws poor people with, you know, his credit card bills and everything.
So every single step of the way, he screws everybody except for the oligarch and his donors.
That's what he takes care of.
Okay.
Why are the prisons filled with black and brown people?
Joe Biden in the crime bill, and he brags about it.
Why can't students get out from underneath their student loan debt?
Because Joe Biden made it illegal.

We're here with Craig Pasta's with us, the host of the Convo Couch.
Hey, Craig.
What's up, everybody?
How are you doing today, Jimmy?
I'm doing good.
Did you know this, Craig?
CNN poll.
Majority of Americans oppose more U.S. aid for Ukraine in war with Russia.
I could have guessed that, but there are some interesting things to hear about this story.
55% of Americans, only 55%.
Yeah.
That's how strong pro-war propaganda is.
Because every time they turn on CNN, every time they turn on Fox News, every time they turn on MSNBC or any other channel or pick up a newspaper, it's telling them we got us.
The people of Ukraine are being pummeled by Russia, and Russia is a thug and an aggressor.
And we do have sympathy for the people of Ukraine, but the people of Ukraine are caught in a proxy war.
And the people of Ukraine should want to end that war because what it was started because Ukraine wouldn't stop bombing Russian-speaking people in the Donbass.
That's what started the war.
There was a peace agreement already called the Minsk Accords.
Ukraine didn't abide by it.
They kept killing people.
So there's already a peace agreement.
45% who say Congress should authorize more funding.
51% say the U.S. has already done enough to help Ukraine.
Well, 48% said that's because both of these groups don't have any idea what's going on in Ukraine because they've never been told what's happened.
They've never been told what's going on in Ukraine.
They've never been told that we started it.
They've never been told that the United States overthrew a democratically elected government of Ukraine with the help of Nazis inside Ukraine.
And then the people in the eastern part of Ukraine didn't want to go along with that couped government.
And so the Ukraine government and the Nazis started bombing the people in the eastern part of Ukraine and then were stopped.
And that's why Putin went in to stop that.
So this war was started By Ukraine.
And they don't, no one knows this.
No one knows this.
People who read the New York Times don't know this.
People who read the Washington Post don't know it.
People who read the Boston Globe don't know this.
People who watch news on television have no idea about this.
A poll conducted in the early days of the Russian invasion in late February 2022 found 62% who felt the U.S. should have been doing more.
When asked specifically about how types of assistance the U.S. could provide to Ukraine, there's broader support for help with intelligence gathering and military training.
So people want to, 63% want to give them intelligence gathering, 53% want to train them, and 43% want to give them weapons.
And only 17% want to send combat troops.
Very slim backing for U.S., almost two out of 10 Americans want to send soldiers to Ukraine.
That's strong propaganda.
A majority of Americans do express concern that Russia's war in Ukraine will threaten U.S. national security.
That's 56% of Americans worry that Russia's war in Ukraine will threaten U.S. security, but that's down significantly from February 2022, which 72% were worried about.
Wow, well, that's good.
How would the Ukraine war threaten the U.S.'s natural security unless Russia decides to launch a nuke at us because we're effing so hard with their country?
A bigger worry across partisan lines in this new poll is that the war will continue without a resolution for a long time.
Nearly eight in 10 are worried about that, including 82% of Democrats and 75% of independents.
And so everybody, overwhelming majorities of people, are worried that the war is going to keep going forever.
Okay.
Democrats, Republicans, far apart on how U.S. should help Ukraine.
The survey finds broad partisan and ideological divides over how much the U.S. should be doing to assist Ukraine's efforts to push back against the Russian military.
Republicans brought...
Almost 60%, 59% of Democrats, most say the opposite.
62.
Wait, so 62% of Democrats favor funding and 61% say the U.S. should even do more.
Wow.
So 71% of Republicans say no more money and that the U.S. has done enough to assist Ukraine.
So 60% of Republicans say that we've done enough.
71% say even if we haven't done enough, that's enough.
The Democrats, 62, say more funding for a country.
But they don't, are they for funding America?
Are these Democrats for funding America?
Have you looked outside your window?
Have you walked through downtown of any city in America?
Are you guys for funding America maybe instead of this?
If we stop funding the Ukraine war, guess what happens?
Ukraine war ends.
If the United States stops funding this war, the Ukraine war ends immediately.
Immediately.
So when Trump said he would end the war in 24 hours, he was correct.
Within both parties, there are splits by ideology.
On providing additional funding, liberal Democrats are far and away the most supportive.
74% back it compared with 50%.
So the liberals have become warmongers.
And all it took was some slick propaganda, war propaganda.
Like it always works.
It always works.
Liberals for bombing, they were for bombing Afghanistan.
Liberals were for bombing Libya.
Liberals were for bombing Syria.
Liberals were for bombing Iraq twice.
Liberals are now for bombing Ukraine or Russia.
They're no longer anti-war.
So they're not liberals.
So that's the thing.
If you ask people what makes you a liberal, if you're pro-war, you are not a liberal.
That makes you something else.
That's what I was always taught, Craig.
What is that?
What do you think about that?
Well, I mean, Putin hates gays, so that's why, you know, I mean, you can't forget that, Jimmy.
You know, that's what it is.
And I mean, I think it's plain and simple right now, Jimmy.
The Democratic Party is now the party of war, officially.
And I don't know if you know this.
I'm a newspaper guy, and I grab the newspapers whenever I travel.
So I was reading this article, and I was just blown away because who's the 45% that's for this?
I mean, who are they polling?
I mean, this has to be a win for the warmongers.
Even though the title says, you know, people wanted to fund and whatnot, you know, this has to be a win.
But, Jimmy, I don't know if they don't know as much because the American people just don't care about foreign policy.
And it really is a shame.
It's not on their bucket list.
But that's why I think it's so important what you're talking about right now is to make sure that we always tie the funding to what's going on.
Saying, hey, we can't have nice things over here because we're spending so much money over there.
But like you said, people don't know or they don't care.
I mean, when you were going down the graphics about what they said they should send and whatnot, I think that Americans watch too much G.I. Joe and too many movies and everything.
They don't really grasp what's going on in war and they honestly believe that Putin is trying to expand the Soviet Union.
They're in the dark over here.
They're clueless.
So the only way I think that we can really start to make a dent is to go back to, it's the economy, stupid.
It's the economy.
We're spending too much money.
Let's get out.
Let's bring it back home.
So independents mostly say the United States has done enough.
So the independents, 56% of independents say that we've done enough, and 55% say that's enough funding.
You would think that number would be higher.
But that just shows you how the strength and the ubiquity of the pro-war propaganda.
Less than 20% across parts.
I mean, if I believed what they said on the news, I would be for funding the war in Ukraine.
But of course, I know they're lying.
Less than 20% across parties back Providing U.S. military forces to participate in combat.
So nobody's for sending only 20.
20% is still high.
I think that's high.
20% of Americans are for sending actual U.S. troops there.
Holy F. But at least the good news is most of Americans are against funding the war.
They think we've done enough.
That's good.
Let's keep, let's help get that number up.
But people got to turn off their TVs, man.
It's crazy.
It's crazy.
You talk to people who watch TV news or read regular.
It's like you're talking to a bot.
It's like they can't process new information.
They can't ever process new information.
Like I would tell people that, like about just about January 6th, for instance, I was talking to my comedian friend and I was telling him, you know, they had hundreds of undercover cops and FBI and Secret Service, hundreds.
They had undercover FBI embedded in the Proud Boys for months.
Like the number two guy in Proud Boys, right?
So if there was going to be an insurrection, you think the FBI would know about it.
Well, they did.
They knew there was going to be all those protests.
And so they made sure there were no cops there.
There were more cops there for our Medicare for All rally of the year earlier.
So they, and then I have to tell him, yes.
And then they, there's video of FBI undercover FBI agents telling people to go into the Capitol.
There's undercover FBI agents breaking windows, committing.
And they just go, you know what?
My friends tell me this is a lot to process.
That's what they say.
This is a lot to process.
I'm like, did you know that most of the people were completely peaceful who were protesting?
They were peacefully protesting and they got pushed into going by agent provocateurs like they do all the time.
I go, if you look at the video that they wouldn't want you to see, but Tucker Carlson showed it to you, that the people who got into them were mostly very respectful.
So then what they say back to me, Craig, is this a lot of information to take in.
Do they also talk about the fact that a bunch of Second Amendment nut jobs forgot to bring their guns that day to take over the government?
And when I tell them that these people who showed up on January 6th to overthrow the government, they forgot to bring their guns.
What did they think was going to happen?
They're going to pick up the phone and the Pentagon was just going to start following their orders.
No one thought that.
This was not an insurrection.
This was a protest turned into a riot by undercover agents from the FBI.
That's all it was.
Nobody had a gun.
Nobody had a gun.
Nobody was trying to take over the government.
So when I talk to my friends, they just go, this is a lot to take in.
Or when I tell them that they lied to you about the vaccine, they lied to you when it said it stops transmission of the virus and contraction.
They lied to you when they said natural immunity was not real.
They lied to you about masks.
They lied to her about herd immunity.
When I tell them this, they go, this is a lot to take in, Jimmy.
That's what literally, that's what literally my friends say.
Anyway, we're going to go over it later.
So I have this friend, and whatever they tell him on the news, he just believes it for real.
And he believes it for real because he thinks he's owning the dumb lip Trumpers.
He's like, he's all about COVID.
My old roommate, all about COVID.
And I told him, I go, Jackie, they lied to you when they said that it doesn't stop transmission.
And he goes, they never said that.
Have you heard people say that, Craig?
That they go, they never said it stopped transmission.
It was only supposed to lessen your symptoms.
Have you heard people say that?
I have heard people say that.
And so now, what would make someone say that?
What would make someone say that is that they heard someone else say that in authority?
They heard someone else say that.
Keep Craig up.
They heard someone else say that in authority.
And then they repeated it.
And who would an authority told them that?
Someone who had already lied about the vaccine and said it did stop transmission.
And then they lied and said we never said that.
So then my old roommate repeats that lie.
They never said that.
So I send them a video showing Fauci saying it, Bill Gates saying it, news presenters saying it, Rachel Maddow saying it, the president of the United States saying it.
And his response to that is, oh, it's not, oh, son of a gun, they lied to me about that.
I wonder why they lied to me about that.
His response was, and I'll read, quote, science is tricky.
They made mistakes.
They're trying to get it right.
And that's just boom, boom, boom.
He said they never said it.
I show them videos of them all saying it.
And he comes back and says, oh, it's tricky.
Yeah.
No, but even if you believe they were in good faith saying that when they said it at the time, it stops the vaccine stops COVID.
Even if you believed they were lying when they said that, but even if you believe they weren't and they were just making a mistake, well, then who lied when they said they never said that?
Why would they lie and say they never so that's a double lie?
And neither of those lies anger anger anybody.
But what does anger them is guys like me point out that they're being lied to because we're a nation of adult children of alcoholics and they know that they know they can get us emotionally and they know they can just give us the confirmation bias.
You know, we saw a lot of this with the election system where a lot of people didn't care so much about the actual process.
They just cared about the results.
So they would do mental gymnastics and bend over backwards to say, no, no, no, no, no.
You know, and these are the same people who were complaining that the process wasn't fair years ago.
So as long as they get their confirmation bias, you know, they'll move where they want to move because it's just, it's a burn against the Trumpers and you can never go with them.
You can never agree with them.
You have to always push back.
So then you find yourself in a position where you're actually lying to yourself.
And that's what I'm dealing with.
People who are lying to themselves.
By the way, but that doesn't mean that the vax is the vax is safe and effective.
And even though it doesn't stop transmission, it slows the transmission and it keeps you from getting seriously ill or hospitalized or dead.
That's the beauty of this vaccine.
My heart swells four times its normal size with pride over how good this COVID-19 vaccine works.
Joy Behar said something, and this is a good question.
Does Joy Behart live in the same America we live in?
I've seen people do this.
I've seen comedians who are wealthy now say this.
This is funny to me.
Well, she is because Joy Behar is a comedian.
So here we go.
The economy is booming.
Inflation is down.
The stock market is doing well.
People are having an easier time putting bread on the table, etc.
He doesn't seem to be getting the credit for that.
Only 41% approval.
Is it because they think he's old?
Because I don't see anything.
It might, hey, Joy Behart, who's been a millionaire for 20 years and I'm jealous.
Hey, Joy Behart, it's because what you just said isn't true.
It isn't easier for people to put bread on their table.
Before COVID, 80% of workers live paycheck to paycheck.
Half the country can't afford a $400 emergency.
And 50% of wage earners earn $30,000 or less.
I don't know if you've ever tried to live on $30,000.
I'm going to guess she hasn't since the 70s.
And now she's in her 70s.
And she's been living out a couple million dollars a year at least for the last 20 years.
So that kind of mentality, what do you make of that kind of mental, like everything's great?
Why don't they love Joe Biden?
Why don't you just tell people, I'm an out-of-touch elitist.
I'm what they call a limousine liberal.
I'm completely out of touch.
And the only working people I ever talk to are people are waiting on me at a restaurant or driving me somewhere.
That's the only blue-collar people she ever talks to.
Yeah.
What do you mean, going to stay on the one true thing she did say is the stock market's the highest it's ever been?
That's not a lie, but guess what?
The working class doesn't have any money in the stock market.
That's right.
So she did tell one truth.
So is the stock market high right now?
I was told it was like 35, 36.
It's the highest it's ever been.
Ever been, really?
I don't know how that's been moving, if it's been moving at the same pace it normally moves, but I just know that most working class people don't have a dime in the stock market.
They can't afford to.
That's right.
Most people don't have money in the stock market.
And I think the stock market's probably booming because interest.
I don't know.
I would say interest.
Nobody wants to put money in the bank because you're losing money by putting it in the bank.
Speculation, I think it's all inflated and BS, anyways.
They can point to it with him.
So what's the question?
The question is, she wants to know why only 41% of America.
In fact, more people like RFK Jr. and Trump than like Biden.
You know that, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So she's, she's, I don't get it.
You don't get it.
Is it because he's too old?
No, he's demented.
He can't find his way off of the stage when he finishes his speech.
How about because he didn't do anything he said he would?
He didn't give people a minimum wage.
He didn't give people student debt relief.
He didn't give people a $2,000 check.
He didn't give people health care like he said he was going to give people.
He was going to give them the public option.
He just gave a couple hundred billion dollars to the most corrupt country while we have people living under every bridge.
So things are getting better.
So Joy Bayard thinks things are getting better in America.
Yeah.
People still don't have health care.
People still get bankrupt when they go sick.
People still under mountains of student loan debt.
Our prisons are still packed to the gills.
We're the world's largest penal colony.
Yeah.
What the F has changed?
They open up the Alaska to drilling.
They're starting two new nuclear wars.
What good?
What a, what?
What are you talking about?
They just kick people off of Medicare.
They just kick people off of child tax credits.
They just, what?
What are they?
What have they done?
What have they done?
I can't think of anything that the Biden administration has done.
And, you know, this whole time, the homeless number keeps increasing too every year.
And they have, they don't, not only do they not have a plan to fix homelessness, they don't even talk about it.
They don't even, Trump at least brought it up.
Yeah.
His ideas, you round him up, put him in a tent city.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
What that's better than Joe Biden's plan.
Yeah.
That's the, that took, that's the funny part, Craig, that Trump's plan of rounding the homeless people up and putting them in tent cities outside of sit outside of town is better than Joe Biden's plan, which is nothing.
Joe Biden's plan is nothing.
Joe Biden's plan is nothing.
Yeah.
Let's hear this one more time.
The economy is booming.
It's booming.
Inflation is down.
The economy is booming, Craig.
Yeah.
Booming.
When is inflation down from what?
Like a month ago or something?
After like continuous three years of inflation.
Workers haven't had a raise since 1980.
The minimum wage is still $7.75.
And she says the economy is booming.
For fucking who?
Yeah.
For you and people who are invested in the stock market.
The stock market is doing well.
People are having an easier time putting bread on the table.
What people?
He doesn't seem to be.
What people?
Getting the credit for that.
Only 41% approval.
Is it because they maybe, is it because I'm a deluded ding bat who can't see clearly and I'm in my I'm in a tribal bubble?
Maybe that's it, Joy.
You ever think you're a deluded ding bat who's who's in a tribal bubble?
I think that's probably it.
What do you think, Greg?
I don't know, but who's where does this 41% approval rating come from?
Because I don't even believe that either.
No, I don't believe that.
And she's like, only 41%.
Yeah.
Hey, this is Jimmy.
Who's this?
Jeremy's Pregnant Joe Bridge.
Hey, Mr. President, it's an honor as always.
How are you doing?
Pretty damn good, son.
Yeah.
Considering I'm 80 and the world is collapsing.
Are you ready for more?
More what?
More of what?
Business Weisenheimer.
More of Joe Biden's thought items.
Oh, okay, yeah.
Yeah, remember?
Joe Biden's thought items was my team's brilliant strategy to deal with my constant incoherent rambling.
So instead of dementia, we are rebranding it as thought items.
As in my brain works so quickly, this constantly regurgitates little think nuggets, gone mocks, and other whatnots.
Sounds sounds fun and quirky.
You better believe it.
Let's get started.
Thought item number one: colon.
The word of the day, colon, bidynomics.
Bidenomics?
You just said the word of the day.
Somebody give this kid a lolly.
That's right, Bidenomics.
You love it.
I love it.
The American people love it.
Love it?
I don't even know what it is.
Bidenomics, Jimmy.
It's saving the economy.
And it's named after me.
But what is it?
Remember trickle-down economics from the Reagan era?
Remember that shit that I probably believed in too?
Well, instead of that, it's expand from the middle economics.
Grow the middle class, and that improves the entire economy.
It helps rich people and poor people, too.
How does it help poor people?
Isn't this really just trickle-down economics that just starts at the upper class?
I don't know.
I see.
I understand this messaging is trying to help you with voters ahead of the 2024 election, trying to tie your administration to saving the economy.
Is the strategy working with the public, Joe?
No.
Thought item number two.
Lizzo needs to be nicer to these fat dancers of hers.
What?
This lawsuit that her dancers filed.
I read it and I found it absolutely unconscionable.
Lizzo is a paragon of body positivity.
She can't turn around and fat James or fat dancers or make them eat bananas out of the vaginas of sex workers in Amsterdam.
Mr. President, please.
Jimmy, I wish I could say that was the product of a demented failing mind, but that is literally in the lawsuit.
Good God.
I say, let these dancers be as fat as they want.
Let them eat whatever they want out of normal things.
Joe Biden said that.
Thought item number three: my fucking dog is bitten 10 Secret Service agents.
Really?
Yeah, Sentinel or whatever the fuck his name is.
When he was just simply shitting all over the White House, it was just funny.
But now he's just a dangerous German shepherd who has a disdain for authority.
It's bad for morale having a snarling cur just roaming around the West Wing.
I would imagine so, sir.
White House pets are supposed to be national symbols of cuteness, not stark reminders of segregation.
Not that I was opposed to that necessarily.
What are you going to do about that problem?
Joe Jiden thought experiment number four.
Megan Markle is stunning at 42.
It's her birthday.
It's amazing.
What's her secret?
Good jeans or good talks.
She's just going to look better and better as the years go on, which is pretty crazy considering Prince Harry is aging like a banana.
I give that shit two years' tops.
And speaking of aging, I am too old to be president.
What?
What?
I don't mean to run again.
I mean, like, now, right fucking now.
So you're admitting it.
Admitting what?
That you're too advanced in the years to properly fulfill the role of commander-in-chief.
Jimmy, I don't think that's admitting anything so much as admitting the sky is blue.
Everyone can see it.
Why can't my handlers see it?
I'm so fucking tired.
Why can't people just let me be?
I want to sleep.
Seems like that's what a man your age should be doing.
That's what I'm telling people, but they won't listen.
Why not, for God's sake?
Who knows?
But I have no choice.
I have to take all these pills and shots and all these experimental treatments.
It's madness.
So onward and upward.
This is an astounding admission, sir.
Yeah, and I stand by it.
With Megan Markle turning into another Salma Hayek-esque ageless beauty, I'm sure her recent stumbles in Hollywood will swiftly become a thing of the past.
Uh-huh.
Well, it looks like I have to go.
Some of my staff overheard this call and aren't very happy for some reason.
What's the problem?
You guys hate Megan Markle?
What are you the British tabloids?
Well, Jimmy, I guess you have to go into the room now.
Item number six, everyone can go fuck themselves and I want to die.
Ha ha ha ha!
Yeah!
