Get ready for an outstanding entertainment program, The Jimmy Doors show.

[00:00:10]

Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? How's your hanging, Jimbo?

[00:00:13]

It's Rick Perry.

[00:00:14]

Oh, hello, Secretary Perry. Thanks for calling. Are you in Texas right now? And how did you weather the recent storm down there? Yes, I am, Jim. I'm in the great state of Texas, the Lone Star State. Where the stars shine, she and we we do get through all that mess down here and and round, round, top. Yes, I live in a place called Round Top. We're here and Round Top did pretty well considering we had rolling blackouts, though, there.

[00:00:48]

So there were times when we didn't have power for upwards of 45 minutes. The temperature inside the house got down about 65 degrees at one point sixty five degrees.

[00:01:00]

Wow. I know per mile. But we are a tough breed here in Texas. So we survived. Country boy will survive. I see. I see. But as I was quoted as saying, Texans are willing to make these sacrifices in order to have a deregulated power grid and to keep the federal government from getting in there and throwing switches. We don't want it. We don't need it.

[00:01:28]

People died, Rick, the estimate, hundreds of people will eventually be found dead. An 11 year old child died of hypothermia in his own bed. How can you say that? These these are sacrifices that Texans are willing to make. For grid freezing to death, not to mention the property damage, the burst pipes that have ruined homes that people can't pay for the infrastructure suffered a terrible blow in the state that you were governor of. Plus, again, people died.

[00:02:05]

Sacrifices great, Erica got the company in charge of all this mess, said that your precious grid was seconds away from total collapse, a disaster that could have left human beings without power for months. Grid energy state, the city of El Paso had opted out of the Texas only Irka grid and they had almost no problems whatsoever. What does that tell you, Rick?

[00:02:42]

That they're traitors and always have been. We should give El Paso back to Mexico, I've always said it.

[00:02:49]

How can you possibly support this system in the face of all these facts, Secretary Perry? Because I'll tell you how down here on the ground, rolling up my sleeves, talking to business leaders with my smart guy glasses on and I listen and nod and that's what they say, and they're rich and they help me be rich, too. So they're right. In Texas, we believe in the free market that's hoping to see free market, free market, Rick, there are people facing electricity bills of upward of sixteen thousand dollars for when they didn't have power.

[00:03:32]

Jimmy, do you believe in love? What? Yes. Well, sometimes love can burn, you love can sting, and doesn't mean you don't believe in love anymore, do you? I guess not. Well, it's the same thing when you believe in the free market, sometimes the free market and you stay up all night watching the sunrise, just laughing and dancing and making you feel like you're the only two people in the world and you've figured out the secrets of the universe.

[00:04:03]

And sometimes the free market sends you a power bill that jeopardizes the financial stability of you and your family. And you know what? That's beautiful, too, in its own way.

[00:04:17]

OK, well, what about that guy? Come on, man. What about this? What about that? Don't you see? You keep mentioning these things as if that's going to change my mind. Dude, I am the dumbest motherfucker alive.

[00:04:36]

Me thinking this shit, it ain't cognitive dissonance. It ain't me rejecting plain truth that challenged my worldview. I'm stupid.

[00:04:46]

A serious problem. I see. I see.

[00:04:52]

And you know what? I just don't want it now. I'm proud of being dumb. Yes. I said ordinary Texans are willing to die and have their homes destroyed to avoid energy regulation. I said that. Do you know why? Because earlier I said God chose Donald Trump to be president and I'll be damned if I go to my grave having that been the dumbest thing I've ever said.

[00:05:17]

Oh, wow. Yeah. And as you and Stef and God and Brownie as my witnesses, I vow that I will continue to say dumber and dumber shit until all of humanity stands in of utter moron application. I will be a brainless prophet and lead all God's children towards hitherto unknown dumbness. Will you join me, Jimmy? Will you join me on this journey?

[00:05:47]

No. Well, I'm sorry to hear you say that. Consider this, though, I'm a complete fucking idiot and I do not care about human life at all. Therefore, I will be president of the United States.

[00:06:02]

Ha.

[00:06:03]

You know that, don't you, deep down, huh? You know this to be true. All right, Rick, I got to go. Don't you run from the door. Establishment media organs like and love bullshit they can't afford to miss. Golf, the medium speeds and jumps the median. Somewhere down the chimney to show. Everybody, so we have a special guest with us from to get your Deucy with Roger Cohen. Hi, Rodolico. How are you?

[00:06:42]

What's up, Jimi? How's it going, man? Good afternoon.

[00:06:44]

Look at how do you see all the light on Ron's face? I get to see him just 50 percent, 100 percent.

[00:06:51]

And I don't want to bury the lead. But you know who Neera Tanden is? She's the biggest enemy of the progressive movement inside the Democratic Party. She's smeared progressives, Bernie. The whole deal. Right. The whole that's she's been arch enemy number one. She's tweeted about us just so you know. Right. Well, the story is that while here it is, Joe Manchin announced his opposition to the White House budget pick, possibly dooming her nomination near attendance pick for budget, she runs a think tank backed by corporate.

[00:07:22]

So that's the problem with their tanne. Just you know, the problem with Neera Tanden is she is a corporate money laundering operation, the Center for American Progress. She wants to cut Social Security. She's always wanted to hear Hillary as a Hillary Clinton delegate at the DNC platform. She voted against 15 dollar minimum wage, voted against Medicare for all. She voted against a ban on fracking. She voted against acknowledging Palestinian humanity. She voted for the TPT and she voted for military action on Iran.

[00:07:49]

Plus, she also advocated for stealing oil from Libya to fund our social programs here at home. So she's a big she's the worst of the worst. Neera Tanden. And so so the story is that the justice Democrats, the leader of the justice Democrats went on CNN.

[00:08:06]

To defend her. I'm not kidding you think I'm kidding? Here we go. Watch this now, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia just announced that he will vote against President Biden's pick to lead the Office of Management and Budget. Neera Tanden putting her nomination in jeopardy. Manchin saying in a statement in part, quote, I have carefully reviewed Neera Tanden public statements and tweets that were personally directed towards my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, from Senator Bernie Sanders to Senator Mitch McConnell and others.

[00:08:36]

I believe her overtly partisan statements will have a toxic and detrimental impact on the important working relationship between members of Congress and the next director of the Office of Management and Budget. Let's bring in our panel, Alexandra Rojas. This would.

[00:08:52]

So this is the head of the Justice Democrats. Alexandria Rojas's attorney. OK, so here she goes, e Biden's first defeat and obviously a defeat for Neera Tanden personally because of a bunch of tweets she's done that were rather harsh.

[00:09:15]

Now, that's the thing. People are making a stink out of her tweets. That's not the worst part about it. We showed you the worst part. There's actually way worse parts of Neera Tanden. Her tweets are the nicest part about herself. OK, so they're trying to pretend that's the problem with Neera Tanden, not her neoliberalism, her imperialism, her corporatism. That's not the problem. That is the anti worker ism. Those are the they're trying to pretend this is all about her mean tweets.

[00:09:40]

That's not what this is about. But watch the head of the Justice Democrats defense. We just narrating tend.

[00:09:45]

Go ahead, Ron.

[00:09:46]

Well, I was just going to say, can we just real quick point out how freaking annoying that is, by the way, making it out like it's just about her tweets. It's the exact same thing, is when people on the right are like, oh, kobad, the only thing you don't like about is about Trump is his tweets like, no, it's also all the terrible policies, too. And now liberals are doing it. The only thing you don't like about Neera is their tweets.

[00:10:07]

No, it's all this other stuff, too. And as a lefty, you have to put up with both of those camps. And it's so frickin exhausting.

[00:10:14]

Yes, right. It is exhausting. Exactly. Yes, that's exactly right. So let's listen now to what the head of the Justice Democrats remember is called. Kolinsky said they were sent to Washington to do a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party. Let's watch her defend one of the worst neoliberals in the entire party and, of course, the biggest enemy of progressives inside the party. Here we go.

[00:10:38]

Yeah, and I mean, there's there's public record of those tweets, but the reality is, I think that Joe Manchin is the one being divisive right now. We are in the middle of a public pandemic. Joe Biden was just elected by a huge mandate for the American people. We have to deliver as Democrats and we need people in positions of power who are ready and prepared to go big in this moment.

[00:11:02]

Neera Tanden is none of those things. She is not prepared to go big in this moment. She's not even qualified to do that job. If Trump had appointed someone is corrupt as her and as incompetent as her and unable to do the job, that we'd all be screaming, oh, look, another one of these crony capitalist. Another one of these. That's a stunning what I'm stunned, I was stunned when I heard that I was stunned. Ron, your reaction to to the head of the justice Democrats saying we all have to as Democrats, we have to deliver, and that means we have to not be opposed to Neera Tanden.

[00:11:41]

Well, I mean, first of all, I'm not a Democrat, so nice to know I'm not breaking the rules. I'm opposed to Neera Tanden and I'm allowed to continue to be as a not Democrat. So so I got that going for me. So I'm relieved.

[00:12:00]

Does this. I don't know how much longer people are going to keep kidding themselves about the justice Democrats, how much longer do you think people are going to keep kidding themselves about the justice Democrats? Well, I mean, I think that. I mean, I'm sort of like not for the whole concept, like like I just don't think this whole oh, we're going to reform the Democratic Party. Well, this is they don't want to be reformed. They spend fifty million dollars a year to make sure you can't, quote, unquote, reform them.

[00:12:31]

And that's in grassroots numbers. That's a lot of money. That's enough to crush most things. So, I mean, to me, it's just we need an entirely different electoral solution and it's not going to come from within the Democratic Party that that's just not going to happen. So, yeah, I mean, I'm I'm disappointed but not shocked to hear takes like these come out of those organizations where it's like, well, we just have to get behind this, even though it's terrible.

[00:13:01]

And it's like, well, no, we we don't.

[00:13:03]

It's terrible. Ron, honest. I was still shocked. I, I, I know.

[00:13:10]

I didn't think. I was still shocked by this, I thought, well, what's it how does it how is it going to hurt the she's not even in Congress. She's not even she just ahead of an organization. She's not. You know what I mean? It's like, what are they get? And I was shocked that, of course, I thought she would just reflexively of course, we want better pics. We were hit and she would have a list of people who are better than Neera Tanden to do that job and say this is her where we are pushing.

[00:13:36]

They're not doing any of that. They don't have a list of people they want to see. Where's that list, you know, of that list that the Justice Democrats came up with of the people you want to see in Biden's administration or Bernie's list of people who want.

[00:13:47]

There's no lists. I mean, I haven't seen one if there is such a list, I mean, I don't I don't know if one either, but I don't know. I mean, if I if I was put on CNN any time recently, I would just start screaming, where is the two thousand dollars over and over again until they cut my mic. So I certainly I certainly wouldn't go to bat for someone like Neera Tanden.

[00:14:13]

Random note, I'm noticing you've got a new microphone, that's pretty sweet. Thank you. I was hoping you'd say something. Yes, I did get this new microphone and I like it very much.

[00:14:24]

Now, is that as sure as this? This is a sure seven. I and I think of it.

[00:14:30]

Well, you always hear about people talk about it on on different. I mean, I've heard you talk about it, you've talked to for Grams, talked about it before. Basically every podcast I've listened to, they've talked about it before. And I'm like, you know what, it's time. It's a new year. New me, I'm getting in seven. And so and I can also say I'm literally letting my hair down because it keeps freaking growing.

[00:14:50]

So here I am. I've been cutting my hair for a year straight myself. Really? Yes, for a year straight. It's not easy, but the back certainly don't want to see the back. You do not want to see the back.

[00:15:07]

But I've been doing it. I've been doing it. Still is still I mean, it's guys hair. It's guys hair. How hard is it.

[00:15:13]

But yeah, I mean you're doing a better job than I would if I tried my own hair. I mean I. Yeah, I applaud your courage man. I'm not, I'm not going to try it. I have, I have a buddy who's who's a barber and I think at some point we're just going to do a socially distance outdoor, like maybe in like my garage or something, and he's going to cut my hair.

[00:15:31]

I think it fits outside.

[00:15:32]

I think if it's outside and you both wear masks, so you'll be fine.

[00:15:36]

Yeah, actually, I just we thought about doing it on like the rooftop deck of my apartment complex, but but I'm like it gets kind of windy up there this time of year. I'm worried. Like if his hand slips, you know. Yeah. You know.

[00:15:49]

Yeah. You don't want wind blowing your. Oh, I didn't mean to cut that piece. It blew into the scissor. Ron, how do you feel about a buzz guy?

[00:15:56]

Is that that's our only option now.

[00:15:59]

Right. Right. Do you have any auditions for a sailor?

[00:16:02]

Coming up, good news. Bad news. They need a sailor. You're right.

[00:16:11]

So back to the step. Back to the sketch. This is that this Guch. This is the segment I said this. Get back to the back to the segment. I want to stop doing segments and I want to start doing sketches. Yes. I'm kind of tired of doing the night. I really need a change in anything.

[00:16:28]

Things are just getting shittier out of us. Things are just getting shittier. I did I did my job. I think I exposed the Democrats for being Republicans and. And what else do you want me to do? And I exposed the establishment news media for being corporate news and right wing imperialists captured by Wall Street health care and military industrial complex, just like the Democratic Party.

[00:16:51]

I think I did that now. I'd rather just I just want to start doing comedy again.

[00:16:55]

Well, I don't want to I don't want to turn this into a brainstorm session, but things keep getting shittier. Sounds like a killer name for a sketch series. So, I mean, this might be the start of something.

[00:17:04]

This might be the start of something. Keep things. Keep getting shittier. Sounds like a sketch. Sounds like a sketch show. I like it. I agree.

[00:17:11]

Do you think it can't get shittier than it does shitty. Yeah. You're like, oh, I just I just lost my job but I got this and I have. But how going to get cheer. You got hit by a bus and you could always get a little worse. It turns out it turns out you need a root canal anyway.

[00:17:30]

But I never thought I would see a moment where people who literally who called themselves progressives in public could go out on national television show and defend Neera Tanden for anything. It is mind blowing, but that's. Well, let's let's see what else she had to say here, not leave anyone behind.

[00:17:47]

The mentality has got to be of the Democratic Party especially, but any elected official that we have to move quickly to save as many lives as possible.

[00:17:57]

And I would also point out that so because we're in covid, we've got to get shitty people in their positions lickety split, we've got to get the most corrupt enemy of the workers as possible. We got to get him appointed because because of covid baby coalbed. That's why we got to staff the government with imperialistic neoliberal maniacs. That's why it is so urgent that the government is on vacation. That is how urgent it is. They went on vacation reluctantly, I think maybe probably not.

[00:18:35]

They probably just went on vacation because that's what they do. But that's the sense of urgency.

[00:18:39]

So we have to approve this awful person so that let's hear what else crazy. I mean, that is just nuts. That's supposed to be. And a non corporate political head of a political, not corporate political group from the left. That's mental that I don't know.

[00:18:57]

I don't even know if that's allowed to say any more. They'll get you kicked off Twitter if you say something. But I.

[00:19:01]

But that's that. Can you say crazy? Whatever that is. That's insane. Can I say all those things. Are these things OK to say I don't even know anymore.

[00:19:09]

Right. But that right. That I'll say this. It's super not right.

[00:19:17]

I mean could they first of all, I just want to say to her, thank you for making me look like a genius. I appreciate you guys not letting me down at every turn. They side with the establishment and fuck the progressives at every turn. They pretend they don't know what's going on and they do the wrong thing. And what she's doing here is called gaslighting you. So now you have instead of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Gasolina, you, now you have the head of the Justice Democrats doing it.

[00:19:46]

That's what that's called chagrin. They're doing it again. Oh, I did I didn't see this coming. What the fuck? Who did it see this coming? Actually, I did it. I'm not kidding. I'm actually I actually did not see I mean, I saw the justice. Democrats were going to keep rolling over for the establishment, but I didn't think they would do it over Neera Tanden.

[00:20:16]

That's stunning. It's still you weren't stunned. I still am. I'm still stunned, even if I say go ahead.

[00:20:23]

But it's like I saw I saw the onslaught on Twitter beforehand, too. I mean, I saw it on Twitter for everyone off Twitter for a couple of weeks.

[00:20:31]

It's really helping me emotionally. But go. I'm sorry. Go ahead.

[00:20:33]

Oh, well. Well, I think that explains a lot. Jimi, you didn't see the onslaught of people on Twitter defending Neera Tanden. I did not. What are you saying this instead?

[00:20:45]

Was there an onslaught of people defending Neera Tanden on Twitter, are you kidding me? Well, yeah, I mean, just just like people kind of like, well, you know, you got to approver and this and that and blah, blah, blah. And then people were also saying, like, reject Neera. I mean, that was also a hashtag. So, yeah, you you missed that party, man. You didn't you didn't see any of that.

[00:21:04]

I mean, you're not missing anything. So I know that I know that somewhat.

[00:21:09]

If people. Oh, hang on one second. This is my pot dealer.

[00:21:15]

Anyway, so pot dealer, remember when you used to have to have a pot? Still need one of those. You don't. That's that's why that joke didn't work. That's a dumb joke.

[00:21:26]

What were you just saying, Ron? They say, oh, there was a lot this clip on, there was a lot of tweets that that kind of emphasize what's being said in this clip, but that that's all I mean, you didn't miss anything, but, you know, it was all there.

[00:21:43]

So let me see what else she has to say.

[00:21:45]

No problem voting to confirm other appointments of clearly partisan members when it was the previous Republican administration. There should be no, I think, opposition to to some, you know, folks that are being proposed by the Biden administration who, as you know, clearly are ready to do the work and get the job done. They feel the best prepared to do it.

[00:22:07]

Now, what that is, I still I know you're not stunned, but I'm still reserving my right to be stunned.

[00:22:14]

No, totally. Well, I mean, I'm listening to this response, and it's almost like it's almost like she challenged herself.

[00:22:21]

I'm going to answer a question about Neera Tanden without mentioning Neera Tanden.

[00:22:33]

I say, here's the same question I asked about what what is in it for her to do that? What is in it for the justice Democrat leader to do that? What is possibly in it for her to get on television, to be seen defending Joe Biden's administration's appointment of a horrible anti progressive? What could possibly be in it for her? And why is she on there offering someone else? I don't know.

[00:23:00]

All I can tell you is that what the the guess is she's looking to keep her job inside a party somewhere. She's looking to keep friendly with that guy. I don't know what the hell's going on, but this is what happens when you put a Democrat in the name of your what you're doing. This is what happens when you become part of the Democratic Party. It changes you. You don't change it. So I don't know why the hell she's doing that.

[00:23:24]

You can. But the fact is she's doing it. And that is it's it should be stunning. So that's the head. That's the current head of the Justice Democrats. Here's the former founder. Here's the founder of it. Jack Kuga decided to do a little comedy for us, which was nice. Geiger said, I'm not a fan of Neera Tanden. I mean, I have her on my show and stuff and we're pals, but I'm not a fan of her.

[00:23:51]

In fact, she did some of her mean tweets about me. But unlike Republicans, I don't think we should cancel her because she wants hurt someone's feelings. That's not what the problem is, Jack. And he's again, this is what Jake does now. He runs interference for the Democratic Party by gaslighting you.

[00:24:05]

Everyone knows that's not the fucking problem with her, but he's going to pretend that it is.

[00:24:11]

You know what? I don't think we should cancel anybody because it started someone feeling the hypocrisy of the GOP crying over canceled culture and then trying to cancel over a tweet is amazing. It's Joe Manchin, by the way. It's a Democrat. It's it's a Democrat. It's just like it's like I don't want to use the word lie. I'll just say he maybe he's just that dumb, but it's Joe Manchin. And by the way, it's not about her her people hurting people's feelings.

[00:24:40]

It's about the shit she did. Well, here's what I. Go ahead, Ron. You want to say something? Well, no.

[00:24:45]

I was also going to say where what does this have to do with cancel culture canceling, not canceling. You're saying they're saying.

[00:24:53]

Yeah, like they're saying she shouldn't get an appointment. What does that have to do that's not canceled?

[00:24:59]

That is what people were people trying to cancel Cavanaugh because they didn't want him on the Supreme Court. You get to oppose politicians you don't like.

[00:25:08]

That's like Ganzel culture. Hey, L.A. Chargers, I want to play for you. No, I don't think you're qualified, Ron, stop cancelling me. But Kansas culture going to end. I'll be the punter. There today is for for fracking, against Medicare, for all wants to cut Social Security. Those aren't tweets Genk. Those are positions that she's advocated for. She's also anti worker. She shut down the magazine, her Center for American Progress ran when the unionized.

[00:25:43]

So maybe that's why you like her.

[00:25:45]

Maybe that's why he's a fan. There is literally. I like what Nick Dr. Cornel West, Democrat, says there's literally no bottom for you. It's not a Erin Mattey friend of the show, an award winning journalist.

[00:25:58]

Unlike the grift, he says it's not about her hurting someone's feelings. It's about her actions and policy positions that hurt people. That's exactly right. We know this, but good job of pretending you don't know that, Genk.

[00:26:14]

You know, I'm all about people changing and evolving. You know, but from Genk, Ugur to Liz Warren, when someone's a former Republican boy, old habits die hard, right? Right.

[00:26:26]

Supporting the bombing of a country to get richer is equivalent to hurting someone's feelings. Got it. Also, you spent the last two months trying to desperate desperately to cancel Jimmy Dorsey because he hurt Aoki's feelings. Get the fuck out.

[00:26:42]

That's exactly right.

[00:26:47]

Tweets aside, where is the concern for her blatant corruption? That would be it. That's the thing we're against, but after you start taking Katzenberg money, right wing money, opposing force to vote, you don't care about Blaen corruption of Nestande anymore.

[00:27:04]

It. And then he doubled down, he doubled down, he said to all progressives, if Neera Tanden is voted down, they're going to replace her with someone even more conservative because Biden is made of Jello. If they lose on her, they'll abandon anyone to the left of Attila the Hun. Biden has to have a spine for us to win on anything.

[00:27:25]

What the he's doing lesser of two, you have to do lesser of two evils voting even when it comes to the Office of Management and Budget. Even when it comes to the that is, well, who would, by the way, who would potentially be worse than Neera Tanden? Could you throw out a name? Throw out a name who would potentially be worse than Neera Tanden. That's again, I don't know if you're allowed to say things are insane anymore, but that's insane.

[00:27:56]

This is the old this is the old take take, you have to take it, oh, we're going to make it worse. That's the shit the Democrats have been doing for 40 years. And Jake Younger is now embracing it. He's embraced it since Hillary Clinton. That but this is the most blatant. This is amazing. That's that's been going great for the last 40 years, Hagg, we have to take they'll give us someone worth. That is the biggest wimpier spinless position, and that's why Progressive's lose, but he doesn't care about losing.

[00:28:27]

That's why he's a proud Democrat. Well, also, he sounds like he's been writing those tweets around while hiding under his bed.

[00:28:40]

Well, also like but to the whole thing, like, oh, he's going to appoint someone worse. I mean, I guess I can understand that concern, but there's no evidence that that is the case. I mean, even some of the alternative names that they've been floating around, Gene Sperling and O'Leary, now, these are just Clinton Obama people. Gene Sperling seems a bit of a deficit hot type guy. So, I mean, neither of these names are necessarily great at all, and nor would I try to pretend that they are.

[00:29:15]

But I would take them over. Neera Tanden. So so I don't see how any name that I've seen so far, I don't see how any of them would be worse than Neera Tanden. I guess you just don't see that.

[00:29:27]

And my question is the exact same question I have for the leader of the Justice Democrats. What is it that he gets out of doing this? What is it? He's getting something. He's dancing for someone because this is a no no one believes he believes any of this shit he's been saying. No one believed what he said about forced a vote.

[00:29:44]

No one believes this kind of bullshit. This is called gaslighting for the establishment. And what is he getting out of it?

[00:29:50]

That's up for you to decide. I love the sandbox for progress. Says that she's responding to users saying we have to take Neera Tanden or we're going to get someone worse. She goes like you thought a Democrat controlled House would elect a Republican if Pelosi didn't win in the first round for speaker idiots.

[00:30:10]

She'd say she's right about sandbagger for progress. I'm sorry. It's David San David Sandbank. He's right about that.

[00:30:19]

He's right about that. It's all right.

[00:30:20]

You you should have him on the show. I should have. I should have him on the show. Eddie says, Dude, why are you fighting for Neira? Harder than Medicare for all. That's another good question. Don't know the exact answer, but I know it has something to do with corruption and money somewhere.

[00:30:37]

It doesn't have to do with what, you know, strong logic or ideas or thinking or a through line.

[00:30:46]

Hilarious how to it doesn't care about corruption anymore. You guys literally criticize Trump for putting people in positions they have no experience in yet. You are supporting Niira. You are a clown.

[00:30:58]

Yeah, I'd have to agree. Well, let's watch this. Let's hear how you want to talk about cancer culture. Let's watch Genk try to cancel Julian Assange.

[00:31:07]

You know, the way that Assange seems to be backing Donald Trump over and over and over again. It it makes me very seriously question Assange's Assange's efforts to actually be a journalist and not to be a partisan. And I get it. I get why he hates the Democrats. They're trying to put him in prison. OK, but at the same time are Republicans. Let's be clear about this. Now, the Republicans are, too, and they have been in the past, but it seems like Assange has picked a side.

[00:31:36]

And and, look, it makes me question his reporting. And so and so that's the situation we're in now. So now is he just leaking things that he gets? And no matter what in which case I would respect that? Or is he selectively leaking based on his political motives now that the suspicion is out there and it's real and it's possible? Well, now I'm concerned that that he can't be trusted. Jack wants to cancel Julian Assange over doing journalism, but he wants to support Neera Tanden to have a very powerful position inside the Biden administration.

[00:32:20]

Wow. And it's almost like he realizes what he's saying at the end there, it's just absolutely wrong. But he's still doing it anyway because he's dancing for someone and talk about. So his criticism of Julian Assange is that Julian Assange had picked a side. And so now he can't be a trusted journalist. What fuckin side is this guy picked? Are you shitting me?

[00:32:41]

It certainly is. On the progressive side, he was against Medicare for all he's against, forced to vote.

[00:32:46]

He's anti-union and now he's pro Neera Tanden. What fucking side is this guy picked? And I would just say, go ahead. Well, I just want to add for the record, that's not even that's not true about Julian Assange. Of course that's not. Yeah. Like when it comes to tribal American politics, he did not pick a song. He did not pick up. There are thousands of pieces of information that totally are not favorable to Donald Trump on WikiLeaks, thousands upon thousands.

[00:33:17]

So, you know, if you still think that very tired, debunked idea about Julian Assange, you should just maybe spend some more time on the actual website, because that's that's just straight up not true.

[00:33:31]

But you can't trust Julian Assange's journalism because he's picked a side and there's a guy who's obviously objective as a pick aside. He really thinks it's fantastic. He really was against forced the vote. He didn't think we should challenge Nancy Pelosi. That's when he really thought.

[00:33:47]

Let's remind everybody, Neera Tanden, this is from WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks revealed that Neera Tanden wanted to steal the oil from Libya. She wanted to steal the oil from Libya to pay for our invasion of it. That's what Neera Tanden wanted to do. Guess who else wanted to do that? We bombed the oil, take the oil bomb the oil, take the oil. Just take it right. Take the oil.

[00:34:08]

That's what Neera Tanden said. That's that's who they're appointing right now inside the Joe Biden administration. Neera Tanden, what this is for doing that, by the way, here's another tweet of their attendance. Which entities want American troops totally removed from Iraq, Iran and ISIS? So if you want us to get out of Iraq, she's going to she's going to say you're sympathizing with Iran or ISIS, that Americans don't want us to get out of Iraq somehow.

[00:34:32]

Somehow you're an enemy of our country. If you want us to get out of Iraq, that's Nuytten. So I'm just reminding everybody who the is and that's why it's, you know, jaw dropping to see the head of the Justice Democrats in the former founder of the Justice Democrats stand sticking up for someone who's been the enemy of progressives her entire career. I wish Neera Tanden and this is who says this Sergel Singh says, I wish to Neera Tanden discourse was less focused on her tweets and more focused on how under her leadership, the Center for American Progress covered up sexual harassment.

[00:35:06]

Then when BuzzFeed reported on it, Neera outed the survivor. Think progress to unionize with Writers Guild. So Think Progress was the Center for American Progress, which Neera Tanden ran, had a magazine called the Think Progress, and they unionized. And what happened? Well, they shut it down. Soon as they unionized, they shut it down. Bernie Sanders will vote for Neera Tanden despite battling her over her tweet. So everybody is this again, this is the same thing you saw in the primary, Bernie Sanders not using his movement to get anything out of Joe Biden, not trying to get Joe Biden to move left at all.

[00:35:44]

Is it disappointing to you how little he's pushed Joe Biden left, Ron?

[00:35:50]

Well, yeah, I mean, nobody has pushed Joe Biden left, this particular headline is kind of quick Baity because they don't provide any evidence that he'll actually do that, but I think he likely will.

[00:36:02]

I mean, I think he is going to vote for her like I mean, I don't know that for a fact.

[00:36:07]

And I really hope I'm wrong, but I think he will because I think he he said, oh, I'm going to meet with her. I'm going to meet with her. I think he's going to meet with her. And I think she's going to say, hey, I'm going to have your back on these policies, which is going to be a lie. But I think he's going to believe her and he's he's going to vote for. So I don't think that's one thing.

[00:36:27]

I don't think that's why he's going to vote for her. I think he is going to vote for her because he's told to by Joe Biden and whoever is going to make him unpopular.

[00:36:35]

That's why. Yeah. I mean, yeah, he I mean, I think is whatever his reasons may or may not be, I think he is. I don't know for sure. I hope I'm proven wrong. I really hope we're both proven wrong. I say what you want about Bernie. He's not dumber about politics than I am. He's not dumber about politics than you are. So if Neera Tanden is going to lie to him, he's going to know she's lying.

[00:36:56]

So that's not everybody tries to infantilize Bernie like he's some fucking moron who doesn't get. Oh, he just he thinks Trump is so scary. That's why. No, he's a fucking he is what he is. He's a lemming to the Democratic Party, OK?

[00:37:10]

And he's a sheepherder. And this isn't about him making mistakes.

[00:37:13]

This is his job. He already said, Ron, that he is not going to do anything through reconciliation as chairman of the Budget Committee. He's not going to do anything that Joe Biden hasn't first. OK, but he said that. So that's what we're dealing with here. He's he's pretending like Joe Biden is his boss instead of us being his boss. And he's been doing that, I don't know, since twenty sixteen. So. All right. So let's let's move on to here's what Jen Psaki said.

[00:37:42]

She says that she's the press secretary for Joe Biden. How do you say her name?

[00:37:47]

Paskey that. Yeah, I think they don't pronounce it. Neera Tanden equals accomplished policy expert would be the first Asian-American woman to lead. The OMB has lived experience, having benefited from a number of federal programs.

[00:38:00]

As a kid guard, by the way, I wonder what her position on Modi is. Has anybody asked her what her position on Modi is? I wonder if Genk younger and the Young Turks have asked her about Modi. Hmm.

[00:38:12]

I wonder, do you know what her position on Modi is, Ron? I don't know, is that weird how that doesn't come up? Isn't that weird? That doesn't come up. That's weird, right? That that doesn't come up. I think it's weird.

[00:38:26]

So I see near 10 on Twitter in 2014, they, quote, was honored to meet Prime Minister Modi. Oh, she's probably so.

[00:38:34]

She's honored to meet Prime Minister Modi. So she's she's cool. Modi, I'm guessing no one cares. I guess that's only I guess that's only when the Democratic Party tells you to care about Modi that you care. Right? Is that what that is? I think that's what that is.

[00:38:46]

So she has experienced, having benefited from a number of federal programs as a kid, looking ahead to the committee votes this week and continued. So she so you know, those programs that she was. But that's true. Neera Tanden was benefit of some welfare programs as a kid. But as Matt Bruning points out, the program she benefit from as a kid was the one she also went on to help dismantle while working in the White House. She has no real accomplishments, not policy expertise.

[00:39:13]

Her role for the last decade has been raising money from the from Clinton circles.

[00:39:17]

Yes. That's who she is. That's what she's been doing. Yes, Katie Helper's says, yes, Neera Tanden has the lived experience of having benefited from a number of federal programs as a kid, and she has the lived experience of advocating cutting these programs as an adult that not her mean tweets to Republicans disqualifies her.

[00:39:42]

I couldn't agree more. Senator Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah said they would oppose Satanas nomination to the Office of Management and Budget, citing hundreds of inflammatory social media posts. Her confirmation now appears all but impossible.

[00:39:58]

There is an important thread.

[00:39:59]

Jimmy Door has created multiple videos to attack me. I ignore them, but they can be both vicious and ludicrous. It's kind of like Chris Christie calling you fat, isn't it funny? Right isn't funny.

[00:40:10]

It really is. Do you think she's not I mean, I think she's I think she's going to get through. Do you think she might not?

[00:40:21]

I think she's going to get like, yeah, I think she has to. I mean, they're like, oh, she's do now. Like, I don't I don't think so. I think she's going to get through again. I hope I'm wrong about all these things. I really do. But but I think she's going to get through.

[00:40:35]

I guess you're right. Anything's possible, Ron. I mean, the justice Democrats, the justice Democrats could come out and support her.

[00:40:43]

I mean, something crazy like that could happen. Something completely antithetical to the idea of the justice.

[00:40:50]

Democrats could happen, something completely.

[00:40:52]

They were sent there to do a hostile takeover of the Democratic Party. And they're defending the dregs of the Bush administration. They're defending the drag's. There is no bottom for the justice. Democrats say while Vladimir Putin's on the line, hello? Jimmy, long time, no touch base. What is up anything new going on over there?

[00:41:19]

Well, a bunch of people stormed the Capitol building boring.

[00:41:25]

Been there, done that.

[00:41:28]

I'm talking about serious shit like nuclear power plant blowing up. Whoa. France and Germany invading your country, huh? Or giant meteor destroying St. Petersburg and Stalin rebuilding it at night without the world finding out way a meteor destroyed St. Petersburg.

[00:41:49]

Oh, will not meet you or I meant gentrification. Oh, boy, do I hate capitalism and I am an oligarch, for criminy sake. Go figure.

[00:42:01]

Hey, here's important news. In a new poll, 62 percent of Americans say they want a third political party. Well, it's you have two parties, when did that happen? Oh, I get it. That is a joke, right? Don't pull Vladimir's the leg like that. He's not quick or not take as he used to be. By the way, you know, this call is being listened to.

[00:42:25]

Yes, there are private conversations are being monitored. Yes, my creepy uncle is in the kitchen and I just heard him lift up the extension and get off the phone, you freak out. I'm so sick of this shit. I may just retire to live near a remote lake so I can cut all the nice and Dave without causing frozen water for photographers stuff that it's so Vladimir Putin.

[00:42:53]

No, no. You're thinking of retiring Vladimir. Why? Because of Joe Biden. Haven't you heard the noose is tightening, the walls are closing in, the dominoes that are falling, it's the end of the third quarter and the bottom is falling out.

[00:43:10]

That doesn't sound good. You're telling me Rachel Maddow says it's the beginning of the end. For me, it's only a matter of time. The writing's on the wall and it's the boiling point.

[00:43:23]

That's terrible. I know, right? And standing on a precipice, the dam will burst. They're really turning up the heat. It's the end of that road. But just wow.

[00:43:37]

What with this more. Apparently, the ceiling is falling, the cracks are showing. The hands are at midnight. Their pressure is on. And it's the tipping point already. I mean.

[00:43:51]

Oh, yeah, you got nothing to worry about, Vladimir. You're really rich. This is nonsense. According to the Kremlin website, whatever that is, which I have nothing to do with, by the way, I am worth it. They're law and two hundred thousand dollars and they end 200 billion dollars. So stop with the oligarch bashing already.

[00:44:17]

I did not mean to offend.

[00:44:20]

Mean we know each other well. No, you and me, we have understanding. We know things. Things others do not know. Things other people could never know, things that other people will not let themselves know because knowing them would scare them too much with them, knowing them as a good friend of mine once said, there are known knowns and unknown unknowns that are unknown unknowns and unknown unknowns. I can't remember I would dance. But you're getting my.

[00:44:50]

No. Yes, not.

[00:44:51]

Yeah. Yeah, kind of. So please. And sort of Vladimiro this. What's the deal with this global scene?

[00:45:01]

Uh, what do you what do you mean are you on global sword? Are you in it, is it a real house or is there a clock there? Little people go there to eat cheeses and dance. I don't get it.

[00:45:17]

It's just a new audio chat app. Whole lot know if you don't know what an audio chat app is. You're going to translate that into English captain nerd ass hat. Remember, I'm just an old fashioned country oligarch who likes to spend his day riding horse, boat, river with no shirt on.

[00:45:37]

It's just another kind of social network thing, I guess. Oh, so why does Elon Musk want to talk to me and of us? Does he like me or something? Why do you care? Because he's a freak and I don't want anything to do with him. He told the rescue team at Daylon to put his submarine the size of Gorske through underwater tunnel. Jimmy, honest opinion, who is better billion out of me or you're on? I think you're all equal.

[00:46:05]

But they play hockey great or to judo and Dave know this place like, oh, forget it, just don't blame us, OK? We just started getting all the more that my palace. Birtles. Yes.

[00:47:01]

Guess what, Joe Biden is president. The Democrats are in total control of government and guess what they got you. Guess what they got you. State Clear's first three foreign military sales of Biden's administration and still no covid relief.

[00:47:15]

Still, though, covid relief. State Department approves eighty five billion dollar missiles to Chile. So now Bidart is officially president. That's how it works. This is how this works.

[00:47:28]

More war by an administration announces hundred eighty seven million dollar arms deal with Egypt as President Obama embraced endless wars.

[00:47:37]

Biden probably will, too. This is from The Washington Post. The headlines probably meant to be celebratory.

[00:47:43]

Yay! Obama embraced endless war. Biden probably will, too. Where? The Washington Post. As Obama quickly learned, changing the United States military posture is harder than it looks by the administration likely to keep U.S. troops in Afghanistan. Miss Etemad, escalating violence and stalled talks because nothing is fundamentally going to change. As Joe Biden promised Joe Biden, where war is a lot more than a band he used to listen to in his convertible wore well.

[00:48:20]

Is it good for absolutely another. Oh, good God. Ha.

[00:48:29]

Come on. You don't think we could push Joe Biden left? Come on. You could push Joe Biden left and you can push your car with a hand cart. Come on. We could distribute weapons all over the world, but we can't distribute covid relief funds. Isn't that amazing? Who knew Joe Biden was going to be pro-war? It's not like he gave us 40 straight years of clues to. By the way, guess who guessed, guess who is defense secretary liquidised?

[00:49:02]

Oh, wait a minute. From the board of directors, it's Lloyd Johnston, the third from Raytheon, now by the defense pick, got one point seven million dollars from Raytheon.

[00:49:14]

Lucky. Hey, guess what else, Byron, administration plans to continue to seek extradition of WikiLeaks. Assange. That's right. Why would Joe Biden want a prosecution or or B, because it's about the military industrial complex and he reveals the secrets because he's going to tell you about the war crimes of Joe Biden. That's why. That's why so there you go. You know, I voted, I voted. For a demented, racist, warmongering enemy of the workers.

[00:49:47]

And I don't know. I just don't feel happy. Senator Bernie Sanders is on the phone. Hello. Congratulations, your credit score has gone up. Wow, thanks. By how much? Not enough to suit me, you're morally bankrupt, sack of shit troll. Bernie, what are you doing? Well, who the hell is it now returned to office and had no. Jesus Christ and the goddamn tooth, but this isn't Phi Phi Phi Phi Phi Phi Phi Phi, huh?

[00:50:28]

Who? Why do I find that so funny? No, this is it, five five five five five five five.

[00:50:35]

And that's just a fake number used in bad movies. I got to start taking notes with these stupid mitts on the things are useless, not only to distract from my frantic, I'm waving. They're also soaked with chicken grease. And now I think there's a family of chipmunks living at the Great Hall. The Chipmunk Maddigan second floor might be the only good thing about the state. It's legal to get liquor by mail, so keep it coming. Folks, I know we no longer accept toilet wine from the Maine State Prison system.

[00:51:04]

Do you have to take those stupid. You have to take those Dobermans off. Bernie, enough's enough.

[00:51:09]

No kidding. Colonel Sanders, you've got to you've got real Neera Tanden hole number on you, by any chance?

[00:51:15]

No.

[00:51:17]

Well, dangerous. Fucking useless as these mittens. Goodbye, schmuck.

[00:51:22]

Wait, Bernie, what are you doing for us? Not for us, to us and for your information, what the one party firstly, we're going to raise the minimum wage to the almost living wage of 15 bucks an hour.

[00:51:35]

OK, that's a good start. That's I don't think that's actually happening. But OK, that's a good start.

[00:51:39]

But what we've got to do it under reconciliation. What could you speak up, please? I said I am pleased Joe Biden remains resolute in his stand for those fourteen hundred dollar checks.

[00:51:51]

I'm pleased he's standing at the and the minimum wage hike, like with your 2000 dollar, 4500 dollar change. We got to do it through reconciliation. Don't worry about it.

[00:52:02]

To the average voter. What does that mean? We've got to pay as you go it. And what does that mean?

[00:52:10]

This no one can see what you're doing there, Birdie, when you see this. Well, it's still bad because I'm flipping you the bird and that would be a more lucrative meme than these fucking mittens. I'll tell you what. Look, as Karl Marx said, revolution is impossible without waiting for the proper time to leverage existing mechanisms to deliver material benefits. Meaning what? Cutting Medicare. Now we know what you think. If you cut Medicare, that balances out the cost of raising the minimum wage.

[00:52:37]

What job? Democrats.

[00:52:39]

You know, I was you know, I was a think of that. OK, OK, OK. Now let's talk about my the more I'm more than happy to do that right now. There's a family of chipmunks living in them that I tell you about.

[00:52:50]

Yeah. Bernie, are you ever going to come on my show? Look, you still on my shit list, but if you scrub your tweets, I, you know, I might reconsider. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to ignoring everything I used to stand for and stop sending me toilet wine from me.

[00:53:11]

Andrew Cuomo is under a lot of heat because he lied about the number of people in nursing homes dying and getting infected, and he pushed people with covid back into the nursing homes and they died. And then he lied about the numbers and he got caught in his and he's in big trouble. And so what he's decided to do was do something like this. Watch this. When I say experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying, first of all, can I just say it's weird that Ted Cruz is they have been doing the sign language.

[00:53:49]

Why would they have Ted Cruz? Ted Cruz is supposed to be in Cancun. Here we go. When I say experts in air quotes go. When I say experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying I don't really trust the experts.

[00:54:16]

Because I don't. Because I don't. Now, the Democratic Party and the establishment media has been saying, if Donald Trump said stuff like that or anybody says stuff like that, they get canned, they lose their Twitter account, they get kicked off Facebook, their YouTube videos get if I said that about covid, our YouTube channel will get yanked. If I said what the governor of New York just said about the experts and covered by YouTube, they would definitely take down that video.

[00:54:45]

If not my entire channel. This is we're not supposed to be so I thought there was a ministry of truth when it came to covid and we're not allowed to do that, but somehow he spoke again. So this is what he does when he's caught being corrupt. So he got caught being corrupt. And so now he's going to lie. And what his lie is, I'm not I'm not trusting the experts. Well, he's not actually lying, but what he's doing is he's he wants you to be angry about something else.

[00:55:13]

Don't be angry about the corruption that I did and the people that I'm responsible for killing. Don't be upset about that. Be upset about something else. Don't look over Ligonier. Watch what he says. You want to talk and now remember, this is all in his response to being caught lying about the people who were died in nursing homes because of covid, because he sent them back in there. He had a directive from the governor's office saying nursing homes couldn't deny covid patients even if they had covid.

[00:55:46]

About making mistakes. How did it come here for three months and nobody knew nothing of how they would leave China, go to Europe and come here and all these federal watchdogs, nobody knew it, somebody else.

[00:56:04]

How do you let New York sit here for three months receiving passengers from Europe who had the virus and nobody knew? How did you tell us? That to spread the disease, you had to be symptomatic. Which meant the sneezing, the coughing. That's how it spread only to do a total one hundred and eighty degrees later and say. Oh, by the way, you can be asymptomatic and spread it.

[00:56:41]

What that's all the difference in the world.

[00:56:46]

It's so the point is my was in the cleaners. The check was in the mail. I had a flat tax Marigot.

[00:56:52]

It was a Bible. I swear to God, baby, it wasn't my fault. Can we also just just a quick aside, like how annoying his fake tough guy. Yes. Is? It's just so freaking annoying.

[00:57:10]

He's like, how do we for three months for the only person who is fake, tough guy thing is more annoying than him is his frickin brother. Yeah, it's only more annoying when his brother does it.

[00:57:22]

That's the only person on the planet more annoying than him with a fake tough guy, big guy like Chris Cuomo through he would throw covid down a flight of stairs, you know, that he would he would wreck covid shit.

[00:57:35]

It got into nursing homes.

[00:57:38]

Because it was here before anyone knew. It was brought in by staff who was brought in by visitors, somebody else's fault. It's once was here. They said it was spread by symptomatic people. That was untrue. It was also spread by asymptomatic people.

[00:57:56]

Oh, but then to play politics with it the way they did.

[00:58:03]

So, just so you know, he's this is the governor of New York that the liberal media has crowned king of covid relief, the greatest guy ever, that they gave him an Emmy. For nothing, for nothing, he's now been revealed to be completely incompetent. Not only that, but corrupt. In handling of covid and lied about it now not only completely incompetent, but corrupt and lied about it. And and now he's blaming everyone else. He sounds very Trumpy and doesn't he?

[00:58:39]

That was mean, that was that was me. Well, what was one of here, what was what he says was mean when I say experts in here, quote, I can't get to it, but he said it was mean. To suggest that. Somehow that he was somehow that it was mean to suggest that what he did. Hurt people and cause people to die in nursing homes. He's saying that's mean to imply that. It's mean to imply that if that's what he's saying, it's mean to imply that.

[00:59:17]

And you know what else is mean? Screwing over homeless people and cutting money for Medicaid, the covid. You would also mean giving a directive to nursing homes, making them take people with covid back in because the hospitals were overflowing, because you didn't prepare for it, because you were cutting billions of dollars from health care in the middle of this frickin thing. That's also mean, I think I think he rehearsed this speech in his bedroom a bunch, and then it really didn't go the way he planned.

[00:59:44]

Yeah, like like he's mentioning all these things that we all know are absolutely like we've been going through this terrible pandemic. All these horrible things have happened. People have died. And then he's like, let's get to the meat of all this. My feelings. That was me. That was mean of you to suggest that somehow I bear responsibility as a leader. That was mean.

[01:00:06]

He went on to say that he thought it was mean to the families of people who died, too, because it gave them the false impression that we could have did something different. What? Oh, yeah, I mean, it got it got even thicker, Ron, I'm sorry I cut that clip off. I didn't send you the whole clip, but yeah, it got even thicker. Yeah. So but we all know where this comes from. Cuomo aide Melissa DeRosa admits they hit nursing home data so the feds wouldn't find out.

[01:00:31]

That's got nothing to do with anything he just said. That's got nothing to do with anything you just said about why he doesn't trust the experts you don't trust. Yeah, how about we don't trust you because you're a liar, not because you're not smart enough, but because you're a proven liar? That you hit nursing home data so the feds wouldn't find out. New York State nursing home residents were dying from covid at a much higher rate than what was reported by Gov.

[01:01:01]

Andrew Cuomo. Health Department on purpose. And guess what? The fallout from that was by the.

[01:01:09]

The fallout from that was nine top New York health officials have quit as Cuomo scorns expertise. When I say I experts in air quotes, it sounds like I'm saying I don't really trust the experts, Governor Cuomo said of the pandemic policies because I don't know, I think you should be allowed to disagree with the experts on things, everything from the WMD in Iraq. To anything else, I think that's the beauty of America. The reason why I do the show is because the mainstream news media is often wrong and telling you the exact opposite of what's reality.

[01:01:53]

But that's not what the Democratic Party is, the Democratic Party says you trust experts, and if you don't, you get canceled. How dare you not? They they trust science. That's another way of saying I trust the experts now Andrew Cuomo is saying everybody who said that's an idiot. And you should question the that's what he's saying again, if I did a video question the experts on, I would get that video taken down at least. But this is the governor telling you, and so nine of his top health officials quit, and why is he saying he doesn't trust the experts because he's in hot water?

[01:02:33]

That's why. Well, I think I think that's the big difference, too, like, I disagree for good reason. Don't disagree because you want to deflect blame from yourself. Exactly. That's, you know, like don't disagree just for the hell of it. Disagree for good reason.

[01:02:49]

He's disagreeing for corrupt reasons. Exactly. He's not disagreeing because he thinks the experts are wrong.

[01:02:59]

Quite frankly, Jimi, he's being a turkey.

[01:03:02]

Yea. If you remember that, don't be a turkey, don't, don't, don't go over to see your mother. Oh, don't be a turkey. I'm going to see my family, doh, doh, doh, it showed mother how much you love her by not being a turkey. Here's Zephyr Teachout, she says, I know for many people learning that Andrew Cuomo was deliberately lying about nursing home death numbers while he was comforting them with power points is just too much cognitive dissonance.

[01:03:35]

And they want it to want to resolve it by making the problem go away.

[01:03:40]

Fingers in the ears. Yeah, that's exactly. We've come a long way from when he got an Emmy for literally no reason, haven't we, Ron?

[01:03:50]

Just remember, which shows we're telling you that Andrew Cuomo sucked all along this show. This show has been telling you Andrew Cuomo has been handling covid horribly all along, going back to last spring when he was trying to cut money directly from the health department money budget. You remember that story, right, Ron? We covered it, right? Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, he was cutting money from the health department. He went after Medicaid. He's been completely brutal to the house, lost population in New York for as long as he's been there.

[01:04:22]

I mean, yeah, this guy, at least now that he's in some hot water and deserve we don't we won't have to listen. I better run for president or although I guess who knows, maybe a year from now, it's all forgotten.

[01:04:36]

I hear about that again and my ears open.

[01:04:38]

And now people like David Sirota, friend of the show, David Sirota is writing an article titled Cuomo Gate A Nixon. A Nixonian Scandal is Engulfing New York. Amid demands for Cuomo to resign, the governor and his aides are frantically trying to cover up the facts of what happened. That's from February 18th. Wow, yeah, yeah. Wow, what what was it he said about nursing homes, can we go back to that one? Because what he said about nursing homes, you know, the ironic thing is now that Cuomo actually deserves an Emmy for the acting job he did back then, that's actually the.

[01:05:20]

Cuomo gave immunity to nursing home executives after big campaign donations. Wow, it's funny that that campaign money actually actually seems to have a connection to policy so that weird critics say data proves that New York's liability shield is linked to higher nursing home death rates during the pandemic. So what they did was he gave the people, the executives at nursing homes that. Responsible for the deaths of their patients, they don't they don't have to worry about a thing covid they don't have to do that and they give them a big, big donations.

[01:05:55]

Isn't that awesome? Was it the money?

[01:05:58]

Sounds like a man who deserves an award. That's that's right.

[01:06:02]

Why did Governor Cuomo give nursing homes immunity from covid deaths? And that's why a guy named Ron Kim was the corporate immunity linked to the one point five million in political contributions from lobbyists. Only a full investigation can help us find out. That's a guy named Ron Kim. Guess what? Guess what. Cuomo threatened to destroy me. I'm still fighting for nursing home residents, Ron Kim, so he writes that article and then Cuomo threatens, according to Rakhim, threatens to destroy him.

[01:06:36]

Hey, look, I know you got a nice you got a nice nursing home, there would be a shame if I draw down them steps. It would be a shame if something happened to the steps where you were going down it here, Andrew Cuomo quietly slipped legal immunity for executives into a budget bill and disbanded his own corruption investigation panel when they were closing in on him.

[01:07:02]

When it comes to corruption, he's practically trumpeting that's from this, the week that's not so different yesterday. That's from February 22nd, second twenty twenty one by Ryan Cooper.

[01:07:17]

Is that who wrote that? Cooper. There's two Ryan Coopers, there's the Ryan Cooper who did the bogus story on us, and then there's the other Ryan Cooper. I think hopefully this is the other one. I don't think the bogus Ryan Cooper does good work, but there it is. Andrew Cuomo quietly slip legal immunity for the site. So again, people just wanted anybody but Trump. I needed someone to hate. I mean, someone to like while I was hating Trump.

[01:07:46]

And so they decided Andrew Cuomo was the guy and he's a big corrupt, is corrupt as they come. Here's coronavirus update in New York, schools can now stay open, even if regions are past nine percent. Positivity. I don't again, I don't know what is. Should I not trust the experts? Should I not trust the governor? Who am I supposed to not trust?

[01:08:13]

Governor Cuomo announces New York City indoor dining can reopen early on February 12, the haku by supposed to trust, he says, don't trust the experts. How can I trust that that safe? Who am I supposed to trust? That's what I'm saying. Hello. Over base, Joe. Joe Biden, I'm your thing. Great to see you all here.

[01:08:41]

And I'm going to make a brief statement and go eat a muffin. Is that all right?

[01:08:45]

Yes, sure. I became president a month ago, I believed I could and I still believe I will make a difference. I spent Presidents Day weekend down at Camp David, including some people kept telling me there, my family has even gotten Arkadia for gay kids. I welcome all game is broken, so I let them hit my shins with a mallet.

[01:09:08]

You should come visit me next time I'm there and I don't realize it.

[01:09:14]

Mr. President, don't tell me what to do. Fat he here.

[01:09:19]

Hey, what are you Woodley's cancel 50000 dollars in student debt.

Simple and will not make that it happen. Yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Are you confused?
