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

Hey, this is Jimmy. Who's this? Jimmy Doorless, Joe Biden. Oh, hey there, Mr. President elect, how how the hell are you? That's my line. How the hell are you? I'm doing well, thanks for asking. How are you? I'm doing great. Seriously, I'm a racist and I am looking forward to a great 2020.

Yeah, well, let's hope. Do you have any New Year's resolutions? No, not really, actually, don't do that sort of thing, but I guess you could say that I resolved that on January 20th. Kamala Harris and I are going to take the oath of office and get to work immediately on healing the divide in this nation, bringing it to us back together again, fusing them with the blow torch of liberty, soldering iron of justice so that they are again, one.

I see. OK. That and to stop eating paper, what? That's just an old nervous habit of mine. I tear off his old piece of paper araminta aboard, I chew on them until they're all pulpy and then I swallow them all.

That's weird. That is sort of bizarre, you know, that's fine, but lately it's been sort of ramped up and I branched out into colored paper because at this point my palate is so developed that I can taste differences. Yes, apparently the dyes for the coloring, you know, it can be toxic. Jimmy?

Yeah, stop doing that, please.

And I go to my doctor and he says my doctor says, stop eating paper. Right. There's just definitely going to die from eating paper. So I tried to cut down. Oh, that's good. But Carmela, you know, she's such a card. She's so funny in a transition meeting, meeting for the transition and sort of quietly tear off a little piece of paper and roll it into a little ball.

And it's a roll the ball over to me as if to say, Joe, it's on paper and I do.

This is insane. Yeah, I know. So I'm going to go cold turkey. The first year. She really has a card. She says to me, come on, Sesame Joe, your administration is going to be the best two years this country has seen in a long time. And then she points her finger right at my heart.

She's saying, you know, so the joke there is, you know, presidential mistress is four years now, too. And she says it was such a straight face. Her delivery is so deadpan.

Joe, Joe, you need to tell the Secret Service that she's trying to poison you.

And are too busy trying to figure out who cut the brake line on my town car. Excuse me. We almost crashed into a tree, apparently it was well, Jack, Mr. Byron, I'm getting the sense that you may be in danger. Jimmy, I can't afford to live my life in fear. And I am not afraid, do you know why? No, no, why. Because I have lost cognitive function to the point where I can no longer perceive danger and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Mr. Biden, please you. I got to go, Jimmy. Someone anonymously left me an assortment of chocolates here in my office, and I'm going to go take a bite out of each one until I get to the marzipan.

Joe No. Establishment. And so full of bullshit they can't afford to miss. Golf, the media speeds and jumps the and some somewhere down the chimney to show.

Hey, welcome to this week's Jimmy Show. Let's get to the jokes before we get to the joke, shall we? Did you know Gallet? California Governor Gavin Newsom just announced plans for reopening the state schools in February. Great. Just in time for the deadly post Groundhog's Day, sir, I predict Wonderwoman will do for women what Wonder Bread did for our digestion. Hey, we're going to lose anyway, so why try isn't a strategy. It's a suicide note.

Viborg Bitcoin today.

Hey, due to the dramatic rise in covid cases, the Department of Public Health is requiring anyone returning to Los Angeles County to quarantine for 10 days and write a screenplay about it. Los Angeles hospitals are so crowded they're now turning away ambulances. Remember the good old days when they used to turn away ambulances because people couldn't pay? If I had a dime. For every time I've been gaslighted and ghosted by not the right timers, I would have had enough money to afford a health care plan that they're paying for.

Hey, what's coming up on today's show? Forcing a vote for Medicare for all is what the progressive movement needs to do in this moment. Will they do it? The answer just may surprise you. Or will it? Ludicrous arguments against forced the vote. We take down some of the more ludicrous of the ludicrous arguments. Plus, Washington Post journalists confronted by the Jimmy Dorje show over their dishonest smears of the Jimmy Door show. Plus, DNC election interference has been exposed to the new revelations over the Iowa primary.

We talk to the investigative journalist from The Intercept, Jordan Charatan. Plus, phone calls from Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and George Clooney. A lot, lot more on.

That's today on the Gibi, Dorotea. You know what I say? If not now, when? Getting a vote for Medicare for all is not performative, getting a vote for Medicare for all is not symbolism. Getting a vote for Medicare for all is not destined to fail. And right now, Democrats have a tiny margin in the House, around six to seven seats, the small margin of votes the progressive members have. Gives them an extraordinary amount of leverage.

The speaker of the House is who decides what legislation gets voted on. That's who decides the vote for House speakership is happening January 3rd. Nancy Pelosi is preventing Medicare for all from getting a vote.

Medicare for all has a majority approval in the nation, Medicare for All has an 80 percent approval rating among Democrats, progressives now have the leverage to get health care for Americans during a pandemic and beyond.

No vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker unless she promises to put Medicare for all on the House floor for a vote. What would grow the Medicare for all movement more than an actual debate in Congress? What would galvanize more support for Medicare for all than having a vote on the national stage, what would mobilize the American people to fight for their own interests more than fighting their health care providers in the middle of a pandemic? More than 15 million people have lost their health care during this crisis.

That is 15 million more people added to the 80 million people who are already uninsured or underinsured. Like a third of the country now. This is no longer a political question. The politics are set. This is a moral question. I'm not asking people to cancel AOC or the squad. I'm saying that if they don't do everything possible to make this Medicare for all vote happen, they are canceling us.

Millions of our fellow Americans are suffering without health care right now, their suffering is not performative.

Their suffering is not symbolic. There's not going to be a better time to address their suffering. You dismiss Medicare for all is performative, you're allowing this to be defeated before it even happens. You don't win the war if you never go into battle. Yes, I want progressive politicians to put their careers on the line. Yes, I want them to put their lives on the line. I want them to fight for the lives of the people that put faith, blood, sweat, money and hope into them, giving them power in the first place.

We want them to use the power we gave them. FDR said this needs to happen now, make me do it. Right now, we're going through that phase where people are making this fight about me. I get it. Get past this phase and make it about the people suffering without health care. We got to put our egos aside, including me. Fight for what is bigger than us. Millions of Americans are counting on us. Millions of Americans are counting on us.

The corporate overlords and oligarchs understand turning a crisis into opportunity, they do it every time they did it this time, too. This is an opportunity handed to us on a silver platter.

Medicare for all is low hanging fruit, the most popular policy in the nation, the most needed policy in the nation. This is no time to be docile. This is a moral crisis. I understand people feel protective of their favorite politicians. Politicians that we have invested our hope into. But now we are becoming a movement that follows politicians instead of a movement that makes politicians follow the people.

We got to make the politicians follow us. The progressives who rightly mocked Hillary Clinton for calling Medicare for all a pony. Have now become Hillary Clinton. You got you're going to have it for 15 years. You can't do it that way. We got to wait. To the eggheads trying to deflate this momentum, this is not an either or thing. Yes, you can demand chair assignments to yes. Demand more. Yes, this is the time to demand stuff.

All I'm asking of House Representatives and the progressive movement. Is to have courage. If the Progressive Caucus simply took down Nancy Pelosi from her speakership, that's exercising power. And when you exercise a muscle, it grows stronger, power is also a muscle, exercise it. Don't let them tell you that you're powerless. You're not powerless, we are not powerless. We are powerful right now. We have all the power. No vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker, unless we get the Medicare for all vote on the floor.

And that guess what, that's only the beginning of the battle, we get the vote out on the floor and then we fight like hell. Hastag forced the vote, forced the vote dog go to force the vote dog and sign that petition.

We have breaking news story. We're going to bring on our guests. You guys know everybody knows them. Our next guest, investigative reporter, formerly of MSNBC.

What I know that I knew he was a and and the Young Turks, he is host of his YouTube channel, The Status, cuz he has written a revealing article for The Intercept about the corruption of the DNC and how it affected the twenty twenty primary. It is Jordan and Hey, Jordan.

Hey, Jimmy. Thanks for having me. All right. So we cut when this happened, when they were trying to count the vote in Iowa, we covered it. Right. And we and we said this is DNC messing around and we got flagged. If you tried to share that story on Facebook, this is what Facebook would tell you. This is a false information in this post. Independent fact checkers that lead stories say this post has false information.

Will it? And they said the false information was that the DNC had anything to do with the voting and the screw up in Iowa. And so we exposed that the guy who fact checked this worked for CNN. And so, you know, it was garbage.

Remember, Facebook can tell you what is and what isn't news. OK, also, if you need relationship advice called the Geek Squad, anyway, here it is.

But by the way, the chief communications person for Facebook used to be with the D, triple C.

Of course, it's a big club and you ain't in it. So, Pete, here it is. So but you remember Pete, he claimed victory in Iowa before the results were in. That was a hell of a routine he did that claiming victory, but here it is, investigator DNC was directly involved in Iowa caucus app development, countering the DNC denial. So they had this app, they developed an app. All of a sudden they need an app to count the votes.

They've been counting the votes since 1776. But all of a sudden now we need an app. We needed to develop an app before this primary specifically and.

Well, well, well, here it is, first of all, for he was the first candidate to do shady things in twenty twenty. He's like the hipster of cheating.

So in a closed session, Iowa State Democrats meeting members pushed for the answers of the DNC s role in the caucus debacle. And that's this is your article.

So from the article says, The Democratic National Committee refused to cooperate with investigators and was directly involved in the development process of the shadow app ahead of the 2020. Isn't it amazing, Jordan, that the DNC can just not cooperate with investigators? Hey, can we see your servers? No. Hey, could we look into this app? No, fuck off. Isn't that kind of amazing?

Well, when the chief attorney investigating was a former US prosecutor appointed by President Obama, yeah, they could easily not respond. I mean, most people don't realize, Jimmy, the DNC is a private corporation. It's not a governmental body. So they don't have any regulations that would mandate them to cooperate.

But it's quite interesting to have an investigation where you're investigating possible fraud by the DNC and you don't talk to the DNC. You don't get their emails, text messages, phone calls, quite the investigation. Wow.

So the person investigating was an Obama appointee, correct? Oh, well, that guy's not going to be biased at all. OK, well, here it is. The DNC was directly involved in the development process, the development of the app. That's what. That's what that. Yeah, said Nicholas Kleinfeld Kleinfeld, a former federal attorney appointed by President Obama in a meeting. Kleinfeld revelation about the committee's involvement counters the DNC s claim it made immediately after the Iowa caucuses.

Back then, the DNC claimed it had absolutely no involvement in the development or coding of the Shadow app, which was supposed to record and report caucus results. And they also had no involvement in the 2016 primary either.

Just so you know, the DNC mandated several as mandated several day delay in reporting results led Budha gig to infamously declare victory without any actual results released. Despite Sanders winning the popular vote, the mainstream media elevated the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor's vict victory narrative, boosting him in the polls for the New Hampshire primary, where where Bernie still won. Now, attorneys looked at financial records and contacts between Shadow Inc. So Shadow Inc is this organization that developed this app.

But the Shadow Inc is populated by a bunch of folks like Clinton workers. Right. Or go ahead veterans of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign.

Well, they created Shadow and they were they were the primary drivers behind the app being used for the Iowa caucus.

That's just that just doesn't seem right, that the shadow app would be developed by Hillary Clinton cronies, not just especially after 2016 was was revealed to be completely fraudulent. That's what the primary because Hillary Clinton was against the rules. I don't know if it was illegal, but it certainly was against the charter of the DNC that she was running the DNC. Why? Debbie Wasserman Schultz was saying that they were neutral when, in fact, Hillary Clinton's staff and her campaign was running the DNC, meaning they were making all the decisions that what press releases got released when the debates were all that stuff as Hillary Clinton campaign was made.

And then we've got that it got revealed. And so you would think they wouldn't let the people who worked with Hillary Clinton take over the counting for the next primary, but they did.

So if you remember, Jimmy, it was so bad in 2016 that even Politico called it money laundering, this Hillary victory fund between Hillary Clinton's campaign, the DNC, that they were basically bending the rules to take money that was meant for the state democratic parties and to funnel it back to Hillary Clinton's campaign. And then fast forward to twenty twenty. I think you made the first point, why the need for an app? Why didn't we just do it like the good old days when they just called in the results without an issue?

And as my reporting indicated, the DNC basically in this private meeting that I got details of in the. Iowa State Party, the Iowa State party members said, wait a minute to the attorneys, your report indicates that we actually had the results on caucus night, right. There was no need for a delay. It could have been reported. The results were basically essentially a tie. That's a whole nother discussion whether you believe those numbers. But basically the results were but a judge like ahead of Bernie by like one tenth of a point, a tie.

But Tom Perez stepped in to block the state party from reporting the results because Tom Perez and the DNC mandated this shadow group to create a special software two weeks before the Iowa caucus that would allow the DNC access to the real time raw numbers. You know, who else gets access to the real time real numbers of elections?

The Mafia, seriously, mex Mexican drug cartels like why James Zogby, who's a longtime DNC member, said to me for the story, Why did the DNC need the numbers? The state parties are supposed to run the elections. Why is the DNC? Involved with shedding the numbers, why do they need to bless the numbers before they could go out to the public? So there's a lot of beyond shady things. And that's to add in, Jimmy, remember, this wasn't in my story, but a crazily for the first time the Des Moines Register poll, the holy grail of Iowa caucus polling gets spiked at the last minute before the caucus when the results were leaked.

Burnie's in first place. Budha judges in third place. There's a lot of really shady things, frankly. The investigation from my findings was kind of a joke. I don't know how you investigate anything without speaking with the DNC. The other thing is, in this private meeting, the attorney said, yeah, we didn't actually use any legally compulsory processes. We didn't try to obtain documents from the DNC. We didn't try to compel them for anything. This would be the equivalent of like Flint, Michigan, which I've covered a lot.

Former Governor Rick Snyder telling investigators, yeah, I'm good, I'm busy. I can't I can't speak. Yeah. So it's it's laughable. And yeah, I mean, there's other things that I reported in the story. But bottom line, you know, we just had a ridiculous investigation at the rest of Russia for four and a half years. Criminal investigation. I think we need to have an actual criminal investigation of this, because this is a state this is the national political party, basically.

Actually meddling again, Russia and the boogie man, the DNC actually meddled and it had a downstream effect. Remember, I went to New Hampshire after Iowa. We were covering a of school, but a judge got a ten point bump because of this delay in reporting the results and the media propping him up as the winner of Iowa. Frankly, Bernie, as per usual, I mean, I was asking Bernie's campaign, why aren't you in court right now?

Why aren't you in court challenging this? Why are you just saying, oh, we won the popular vote, let's move on.

And what was the answer? Well, we you know, we have the momentum, we won the popular vote like Bernie, the media doesn't give a damn about the popular vote. We don't have a democracy. They're framing. I didn't say to Bernie, I said it to his campaign. They're framing it as Pete won and he's getting a huge polling bounce. This is the same thing they did in twenty sixteen. I was on the ground covering the New York primary purge.

Like at the time, we knew 100000 voters had been purged. It came out later. Two hundred thousand. And I asked Bernie's campaign, like, why aren't you in court? There's like these election justice groups in court, but you're not in court. Like a hundred thousand voters were purged in Brooklyn. Happens to be one of the most progressive like right places in America. You'd get a lot of votes there. And I was told, you know, we don't want to look like sore losers.

They'll make us sore losers. We got to look on Pennsylvania, you know, who will be in court if either of these things happen right away?

Somebody you know, somebody who wanted to win.

Donald Trump would be Donald Trump would be. Joe Biden would be. George Bush would be. Yep, certainly. Certainly not. Bernie Sanders. I don't know if you know the people who worked inside his campaign.

I do. Some of them are very nice people, none none of them were fighters. I mean, we could litigate that. But I think the ultimate problem was, Bernie, he had a lot of people in his ear telling him to fight, including Nina Turner.

By the way, Nina Turner did need to tell him to fight. Yes. And Bernie, Bernie did the Bernie. Bernie did the Bernie. You know, it only go up to a certain line.

No, you're right. It falls down. It definitely falls on, Bernie. You're right. No doubt about it. Well, just and here's the thing about this shadow, OK? I want to show people. So the shadow app invented by the Hillary Clinton cabal. Right. So to count the votes in Iowa. Right. The most. So Pete Budig campaign gave Shadow Inc a bunch of money as so they could work for them. So Shadow Inc, who developed the app that's going to be counting the votes, they're also getting a shit ton of money from Pete Budig.

That seems like a conflict of interest because it is that doesn't seem like it is because it is a conflict of interest. So Pete Budig was giving the app developers a shit ton of money to run their text messaging software. And I don't know if you remember this, I'm going to play it again. But Pete Budig declared victory and then after he declared victory, you think you would want to go out to the media and pump it up and talk about how great your victory was?

And now we're on to New Hampshire and let's win there. And this is the great that people really spoke. But he starts he's going to but he knows he's going to face reporters who are going to have actual questions about the fucking that's happening. And so this watch this guy's face when he walks out of here, I have never seen anything like this. People like to say that Michele Bachmann does crazy stuff or or Louie Gohmert or Sarah Palin does weird.

This is the all time craziest thing I've ever seen in politics. A guy just won the Iowa primary. He walks out to face the press and this is what he does, declare victory.

How do you feel about Iowa? How do you feel the victorious last night? You feel like your numbers are going well. Why a perp walk, it's like, yeah, and if you look right back here, if you look at the back of his head, that's where they see that dent. That's where the on off switch is for his autonomist, this automaton. That's where they put the on off switch. He didn't know what they forgot to click in him to talk.

And so there he is. That is the weirdest thing. What if you're wondering why he would do this?

If you're wondering why he would do this? How do you think that? Because last night. I think it's really cool if you look your numbers are going well. So that's the look of a guy, that's how you act when you know that the establishment is cheating on your behalf. That's what that is.

No one's ever did a walk like that in the history of politics after they won a primary and he didn't want to say anything, do anything, because he knows they just cheated for him.

And they told him, keep your fucking mouth shut. Go to New Hampshire. We're going to have the press reported that you won. We're going to pump you up and we're going to get you in New Hampshire. And they did that all happen and they did pump them up a ten point bump, like you said. So that's what that is, you're like, why would he do that? He's doing that because that's how he looks when he knows he's pulling a scam.

That's the look of a guy who knows he's pulling a scam and that's what he was doing. Biden selects Pete Budig as transportation secretary. So now you know what he got for dropping out of the race before Super Tuesday and throwing his weight behind Joe Biden. Barack Obama engineered this to happen, and that's what he got for doing that. That so is that. Go ahead. By the way, I mean, I was in South Bend, I actually saw what this man did to this community.

I mean, he was a horrible bear. It literally he bulldozed a thousand homes and a thousand days in black and brown communities. It's a sea of vacant lots. And I also found out that he actually paid his administration, paid black owned businesses to go down the street outside of South Bend to get rid of black owned businesses. And this is the Cub Scout that Joe Biden did a press conference with saying he reminds me of my son, Bo.

He's is a bad, bad, bad guy. And as early as 2011, by the way, when Obama was in there, they were already grooming the judge. But I think to me, what my story shows is the bigger issue. Listen, we could talk about a lot of things. I'm all for forced to vote with you. I'm all for a lot of these other things. But if you can't actually guarantee free and fair elections, then all of this other stuff is kind of moot.

I mean, what's going to happen in twenty, twenty four? Let's just throw out a name, Nina Turner against incumbent Kamala Harris. If the DNC still involved, which by all accounts they will be. We are they we are allowing. Literally, I was in Iowa for twenty twenty, you had thousands and thousands of people in January descend from all over the country and the world, I met volunteers from other countries that came in to knock on doors for Bernie Sanders in Iowa, not to mention how many hard working working class people gave their money.

So this is election fraud. I found the election fraud. This is it. And if you can't, the DNC should not be involved with elections. Frankly, we should have one uniform federal election standard, not this mishmash state to state, but the Democratic Party, frankly. I mean, they said in court there was there was a DNC fraud lawsuit. Their lawyer said, yeah, technically we're allowed to go in the back room, smoke cigars and pick the winner.

So people are being defrauded, whether it's progressives who have volunteered, even the other candidates. Can you imagine for it? Could you just imagine for a second if the RNC would have stopped Iowa from reporting the results and there was a weeks long delay how the media would have pummeled them, but because it was the Democratic Party and it hurt Biden, hurt Bernie, they didn't care. So it's it's extremely this is I think it's beyond fraud, frankly, I think this this is criminal because this is a private corporation, the DNC defrauding donors, defrauding volunteers.

And, yeah, I don't think you're going to have I don't want to tell people not to participate, not to volunteer, not to donate. But this is not two elections, two primaries. It wasn't just Iowa. There was other shenanigans going on in other states. Super Tuesday, California, they did a whole lot of Fakhoury to shrink Bernie's lead and not just the actual fraud, but this investigation was a farce. You have a U.S. attorney appointed by Obama doing it.

They don't talk to the DNC. The DNC gets to basically stonewall them. That my my report also indicates that the Iowa state party, literally it was leaked to Politico by the DNC before they could even read the report. The DNC got it before the Iowa State Party got it. So it's all very fraudulent. And, yeah, I think progressives have a lot on their plate, but I think we need to really focus on accountability, not just for the DNC, but the whole democratic.

Well, you know, Jordan, people now even did not just see somebody who did. I see a prominent lefty tweet out that, no, Bernie wasn't cheated in twenty sixteen. I just saw somebody tweet that out. I'm like, what the fuck we.

I think it was. Was that who it was. I don't know. Oh I don't know.

I don't know but. I'm like, what is going on? What is this revisionist history? Donna Brazile wrote a frickin I saw the article and whatever political I don't know where she wrote the big article about how she found the contract and the Hillary Clinton and the DNC that she was running it. It was illegal. Well, it was against the rules. I don't know. I guess not illegal, but it's against the frickin rules of certainly fraud against the donors to the DNC, the Democratic National Committee of the Democratic Party.

So what that is just nuts that people. So the weird thing is, is that Bernie never made them do anything about that. Once that got revealed, Bernie didn't want to be seen as a again, he just weak. He's just a weak, feckless. He's not a leader. He's weak and feckless. And he doesn't fight when he's supposed to because if he would have thought then that maybe this wouldn't have happened in twenty twenty. But again, they were not made to pay a price for their cheating in 2016 and they didn't change the process at all and not there was no transparency.

Bernie didn't demand transparency. He didn't demand anything. And so consequently they cheated again in 2016. And so if you don't have a leader willing to fight, you're not going to get anything.

Hey, George Clooney called me.

I wonder if he has any thoughts on President elect Joe Biden. Hello. Hey, sport, you've got to trim those eyebrows. Why not cut, trim? I repeat, I'm not talking about cutting.

Just give me the acqui trim, not cut.

Is that all you called me about?

Not all, pal. What's that about, anyway? Are you telling me you don't get the dramatic weight of broad dynamics to keep the brows tight?

A lot of people think the brow is there just to keep debris and shit from falling into your eye sockets. There couldn't be more wrong.

That's not you, is it? Don't be like that, Jack. This is from yours truly to G to the D door. We're in this together, the show business. I'll give it to you straight. You know that Broadwood, right?

Of course.

Great, two words, midnight and Sky, where they mean to, you know, the sky at midnight, midnight Sky, the Clones latest flick, it's take it slow, it's murky. Dystopian could find its space deathly quiet. Weightless. What's that? It's a fat fire in the shuttle kitchen, but 50 miles per hour wind in the Arctic Circle crackling as a doomed landscape. Don't go home. It's not there anymore. Your only choice is a distant moon of Jupiter.

Is this our future or our past? She says it's all on the face. The Brouse.

The eyebrows precisely right brows are the gateway to your eyes.

Yes, they are. Yes. The windows to your soul, right. I'm throwing you a bone here. Look at my intense study them and.

What is he, George Clooney?

Correct. The Mondo Star quality all the way. Top notch representation of the craft. You know, want some seedy weed patch covering over your big brown and a watch out. Don't step in this shit, your twisted ankle. And that's why my character is stranded alone in the Arctic, awaiting his death in that of his planet, his perfectly manicured eyebrows, no distractions from the money maker instead of just the tip of the Arctic, the Arctic, the Arctic, not to be confused with his opposite.

The park couldn't be further apart, could be further.

So what you made this movie, did you discover any parallels between the plot of a dying planet and what's happening now? Take this and wrap it up.

Joe Biden is the man for this moment. Yes, he's is a compassionate, smart, kind, wise man.

I predict he's going to have a very effective processes.

Hey, why did you take a trip to London when everybody's supposed to stay put?

There are the pandemic because I had to take the family to the premiere of my dystopian movie about the end of the world.

And I got a private jet and now you take the whole family. Well, not the dog. I didn't bring the dog. She's a 200 pound horse. You can't have a 200 pound horse in your house that thinks it's a lap dog tag with the twins who eat like they're moochers and away from all who's like a goddamn gazelle. It's just too much.

How is small? My wife, Amal. She can do amazing things like get journalists out of jail in Myanmar or Azerbaijan.

It's capital of bokeh and being in the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus Mountains. But don't let her near the kitchen. It's devastating. That's my territory. Fantastical. I got the surprise with the twins, two completely different human beings. Basically, it's my job to point them to the North Star and keep them alive, if you know what I mean. How old are your kids?

Yeah, I don't have any kids. So you get where I'm coming from. It's humbling. It's such a fascinating process of watching these kids become human, human moose, the gazelle and the 200 pound horse at the dinner table. The responsibility is tremendous. You got to do it as like Joel Schumacher. He'd always use a megaphone to direct and always go, OK, George, remember, your parents are dead. You have nothing to live for. And action, huh?

Life is life is like that. Well, well, thanks for the advice and the eyebrows, George.

You heard me on the Brattleboro, less salt, more pepper, got me chow and say hi to the kids for me. So Trump question to Trump, do you want to give Edward Snowden a pardon and bring him back? President Trump, I'm going to look at it. Going to look at it. Still waiting for you to start looking at that Donald Trump, you big liar. Thanks, go ahead if you want to give Edward Snowden a pardon and bring him back, you once suggested.

Well, I'm going to look at it.

I mean, I'm not that aware of the Snowden situation, but I'm going to start looking at it. There are many, many people it seems to be a split decision than many people think, that he should be somehow treated differently and other people think he did very bad things. And I'm going to take a very good look at it, OK? I mean, I've I've seen people that are very conservative and very liberal, and they agree on the same issue.

They agree both ways. I'm going to take a look at that very strongly. Edward Snowden, please.

Yeah, I agree, it's a sad topic that it's even open for debate. Snowden should be pardoned and Assad should be free.

Oh, wait. That's not what he said. Susan Rice tweeted, Congratulations, GOP, this is who you are now, I just can't. Yes, this is who this. This is who Joe Biden just appointed, someone who wants to prosecute journalists, and Trump is the bad guy. That's what she's saying. She wants to prosecute journalists and whistleblowers. That's what Susan Rice is saying. Just point. Susan Rice is the domestic policy adviser designate for the president elect.

She's a national security adviser and a U.N. ambassador and a mom who likes prosecuting journalists. Susan Rice, I'm pretty sure she's a war criminal, too, and a mom I like when moms are war criminals. You like to kill other people's kids while you're a mom. Isn't she a war criminal? Pretty sure.

Susan Rice? Pretty sure. I just can't. Congratulations, corporate Democrats, this is who you are now, neoliberal authoritarians who oppose whistleblowers who reveal that our own government is spying on us, which is a violation of our privacy and Fourth Amendment rights. Snowden is a patriot. You're correct, Brian. Trump pardon for Julian Assange would secure presidential legacy as a defender of free speech, says Nobel laureates. Five Nobel laureate Nobel Prize winners have urged Donald Trump to put a defining stamp on his presidency by offering a pardon to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Assange's supporters say he is being persecuted as a journalist, claiming the case against him poses a threat that the First Amendment protection of free speech in the two.

Poses a threat to the First Amendment protection of free speech in the U.S. Constitution. We write to request that you put a defining stamp on your presidential legacy by pardoning Julian Assange or stopping his extradition, the five Nobel Prize laureate said Assange has fought for truth and justice, has worked with WikiLeaks, has pioneered accountability in the media and expose corruption, civil liberties violations in the United States and around the world, and the true cost of war. The Nobel Prize laureate say the case against Assange threatens the constitutional protections that Americans hold dear, suggesting to Trump by offering a pardon to put a stop to the prosecution of Assange, your presidency will be remembered for having saved First Amendment protections for all Americans.

Trump could have pardoned whistleblower Julian Assange, Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, instead, he chose to pardon four Blackwater mercenaries who murdered 17 Iraqi civilians, including two boys, eight and 11, in an unprovoked attack on a crowd of unarmed, unarmed people.

Disgusting. Hey, shock and dismay after Trump pardons Blackwater guards who killed 14 Iraqi civilians. This is what he had time to look at instead of Edward Snowden and Julian Assange, this is what your hero Trump had time to look at. Didn't have time to look at Snowden or Assange, but he had time to do that. How you still don't think he's a con man, never did a fucking thing he said he was going to never gave you health care, never gave you an infrastructure bill, never pulled the troops out from the Middle East.

Never did anything. He gave a tax cut to the richest people in the world and gave five trillion dollars to the richest people in the world while still denying you health care or a UBI.

Or pardoning anybody except actual war criminals. Yeah, they're OK, they're all fucking murderers, pardoning the Blackwater contractor is an affront to justice and to victims of the Nestore Square massacre and their families, said the chair of the U.N..

This is your noninterventionist if you're a Trumper, this is your non-interventionist. Pardoning people who committed massacres in other countries. The Geneva Convention obliged states, states that to hold war criminals accountable for their crimes even when they act as private security contractors, the UN experts said.

It would seem, especially if their private contract would seem especially these pardons violate U.S. obligations under international law and more broadly undermine humanitarian law and human rights at a global level. Kushner Pardons Revives Lytham Tale of tax evasion and sex. After Charles Kushner discovered his brother in law was cooperating with federal authorities, the wealthy real estate executive and father of President Donald Trump's son in law, Jared Kushner, hatched a scheme for revenge and intimidation. Kushner hired a prostitute to lure his brother in law, then arranged to have an encounter in a New Jersey hotel room recorded with a hidden camera and the recording sent to his own sister, the man's wife.

The scheme didn't work. Charles Kushner later pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign donations in a case tailor made for tabloid headlines. The White House, in its announcement, cited Kushner's charitable work since he completed his sentence in 2006 as the reason he deserved clemency. These are the people who Trump is pardoning instead of Edward Snowden, instead of Chelsea Manning, instead of Julian Assange. And you, he's still your hero. You're a fucking chump. Donald Trump is the swamp.

Thank you to everyone asking President Trump to pardon my son, Julian, I still hold out hope that he may do so. It would indeed be an historical act of mercy, courage and presidential power.

And if he doesn't do it, you know exactly who he is. I mean, we all know who he is. He just has to now just keep doing it. Jeremy Scahill, who doesn't know how to ask follow up questions, says this Jeremy Scahill, if you want to know how to ask follow, a YouTube host could show you.

I can show you how to do a follow up question if you need help. Jeremy Scahill says people can debate many things about Julian Assange. But let's be clear. The reason Assange is being subjected to inhuman, inhumane treatment and the threat of extradition to the US is about punishment for exposing US war crimes and dirty deeds. It is a threat to all journalists. But censorship isn't Jeremy. That's interesting. Bill Binnie, you know him from our show, The NSA's top Codebreaker, than they tried to frame and put in jail because he blew the whistle on the NSA.

He says, Mr. President, for Julian Assange and pardoning Edward Snowden would send a message to the world that you that you value truth and honesty. You certainly haven't got that from all the swamp creatures around you. Government has real problems they don't want to face, so don't protect them. He is, Bill, sorry to say. Uh, don't extradite Julian Assange. I would say free Julian Assange, so that's Sunday, January 5th, at the British Embassy.

Thirty one hundred Massachusetts Avenue NW Monday, January 4th, the Department of Justice. So they're going to have some actions. So on Sunday, January 3rd at the British embassy. And Monday, January 4th, at the Department of Justice. Americans, for reasons publishing the truth, is not a crime, torturing a journalist is free Julian Assange. So there you go.

And all you sycophants of Donald Trump, maybe you want to tweet at him because he reads his Twitter, maybe to get him to pardon Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning while he's at it. But, you know, he won't.

So that's why you probably won't tweet him, because you just want a fake hero. I get it. Everybody wants a hero. I want a Bernie. Bernie was my hero in 2015 16.

I know what that's like, but you got to face the music when you see who they really are. Bernie has proved over and over again he won't actually cross the establishment.

So does Donald Trump. Go, go, go tell Donald Trump what you think of them if he doesn't do this. Hey, Senator Bernie Sanders is calling me. Hello.

Let's get to the point that I want to make myself very clear on this. It's no secret that I would like to see Joe Biden's cabinet move farther to the left and move further to the left Bernie.

OK, tilt further in that direction, perhaps. How is it even tilting? OK, just just just just lean to the left a little bit more, kind of a little more, OK, just give the appearance of leading to the left, you know, like when you take a photo or something and and angle the viewfinder to the right.

What good is that? It makes everything look like it's leaning to the left, the girl is filled up with the goddamn cabinet. It's a simple optical illusion, like the circus funhouse with the squiggly mirrors that make your head three times bigger than you. They could do that because the technology is too much to ask.

So you're not too happy with the Bidens cabinet, how it's shaping up? Look, I respect Joe Biden's God, Joe Biden escapement as a friend of mine. But I'm going to be blunt, I would like to see progressive seats in that cabinet and that has not yet happened in that cabinet.

Do you really think that will ever happen? Look, there comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious and you're so sick at heart that you can no longer take part. And you've got to put your body on the gears, on the levers and upon the wheels of the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.

So you're saying the right time is now? We could still work within the system. Now's not the right time for that. Then when is the right time for that, Bernie?

Right. Times are hard to come by, Jimmy. The average layperson doesn't understand them. You can't go about putting your body on the gears of the apparatus willy nilly. You have to wait for the right time. For the right time.

How can we tell when the right time has arrived? Somebody in charge will tell you most likely you'll get a fundraising email from a grassroots organization funded by venture capitalists and Buddy Roemer, yet I'll do the usual process. Yeah.

Gee, Bernie, I always thought the right time was all the time. Noam Chomsky calls that real politics.

Well, Noam Chomsky doesn't have a fucking committee assignment. The right time will appear magically to the gatekeeper. People like those funded by billionaires, tons of stockbrokers, for instance. Now is the right time for me to stop talking to your annoying ass. I have important work to do, and right now I'm filibustering on the Senate floor for two thousand dollar relief checks. Well, that sounds great, Bernie.

How come you couldn't do that months ago?

Like 10 months ago, but not now is not the right time to ask that. Call me in 10 months. Guess what?

What? Your time is up. And Glenn Greenwald tweeted out in 2018 when AMC was running against Joe Crowley, I interviewed her and I asked whether she thought Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer should continue in their leadership roles or be replaced and whether she'd agitate for replacements. Here's what she said. Are you ready? Very deep level, so we just have a little bit of time left. Let me just ask you a couple of quick questions. Your opponent, Congressman Crowley, has been pretty upfront about his hopes to replace Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer in the Democratic top wing of the Democratic leadership once they retire or maybe even before that.

For as long as I can remember, the Democratic Party in the House has been led by Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer. So if you are elected, will you agitate for different leaders leading the Democratic Party in the House caucus, or do you think that Pelosi and Hoyer should continue to be in those leadership positions?

No, I think that we need new leadership. I think the idea that we should have the same leadership for more than one generation is probably a mistake in American politics in general. You know, when I think about my opponent trying to take Nancy Pelosi seat, it's like, why?

Like, what has he done? And I think that what we need to really look at and value and, you know, it goes back down to the idea of valuing fundraising and equating fundraising with leadership. And they're not the same thing. I think that we really need to start kind of changing our standards for leadership and what we define and what we respect as a party. And it's not to say that, you know, it's not to speak to Pelosi's leadership, but it's to say, you know what company oftentimes is the same CEO for 20 years or, you know, it's very rare that that happens.

And what government has a president for the same president for 20 years and the idea that the third most powerful seat in the country should just be rotated in and out by the same two people, four generations, I think is a mistake.

And in our government, government is. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Isn't that something? Well, I never criticized her for quickly voting for Pelosi because she had a cogent rationale. The alternative, Tim Ryan, was worse. The problem is this is her reward for supporting Pelosi is losing a key committee seat to a rival. Who opposed Pelosi? So she didn't lose that committee seat because she opposed Pelosi has a lot of people are reporting erroneously. She lost that committee seat because the person who did oppose her vowed to vote against her, got rewarded because Nancy Pelosi needed her to vote for her.

And she knows that she's going to vote for her anyway. She's going to vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker. You know, Jimmy, it's almost like Kathleen Rice used that as love as leverage used her vote as leverage to get that committee assignment.

And that's what she said she was doing. She said they were using their committee assignments as they're using their leverage to get committee assignments. And then she got kicked off her committee. So, you know, she wasn't even doing that. So see, the next time, are you going to try to get something for your vote for Nancy Pelosi, something up front, are you going to be fooled again in January? Are you going to make demands for your vote?

Ultimately, the Democratic Party will ignore you and take you for granted if you play the good soldier and lend your support unconditionally your own, you only have power and leverage if you show you're willing to subvert them. And the. The DC DNC structures reward the corrupt.

So show your loyalty and then they'll at least be nice to you, but they're not even nice to you. They screw you. Here she is again. This is her own words, don't people realize that the most powerful position you can be in is when you are not materially attached to a position of power? If you're a one term Congress member. So what? You can make ten years worth of change in one term if you're not afraid people.

But but somehow I'm the one who's a meanie because I just want her to do what she's been saying. And she's not going to do it. Ocasio Cortez takes a direct shot at Pelosi and Schumer, the progressive star, bluntly stated, we need new leadership for the Democratic Party. That's a head fake. That's a head fake, she doesn't mean that. Pelosi's caucus unanimously nominated her last month unanimously, so that means you'll see the squad, everybody voted for Nancy Pelosi to be speaker again, unanimous.

That's what unanimous means, I'm pretty sure.

I'm no Daniel Webster, but it's not absolutely certain she can win the speaker's gavel on the House floor vote on January 3rd. Because House Democrats, unexpectedly under Nancy Pelosi, again lost more than a dozen seats in the November election, their majority is now down to just single digits, meaning a handful of Democratic defectors could deny Pelosi another term leading the party.

In other words, she did so painfully shitty, Nancy Pelosi, so painfully shitty and constantly loses, she really shouldn't be leading anyone anywhere. But the Democrats don't care all that much about winning, so. If Nancy Pelosi was an actress, she would be referred to as box office poison. Ocasio Cortez, however, gave no indication that she will vote against Pelosi on the floor, even as other moderate Democrats have, and then got seats on committees because they said they weren't going to vote for McCaskill.

Cortez, I'm voting for Mama Bear. She says all we need new leadership, but but she then she says, but there's no one. Well, here I think I think it's in the show. The hesitancy I have is that I want to make sure that if we're appointing people in a direction that we have a plan, Ocasio Cortez says. And my concern and this I acknowledge as a failing, as someone that we need to sort something that we need to sort out is that there isn't a plan.

How do we fill the vacuum? She's admitting they have no plan to use their leverage. She's she's admitting that the people with the power have not strategized and have no strategy, none. She's admitting it. I, I have a strategy. Leverage your vote to get a Medicare for all vote on the floor in the middle of a deadly pandemic. That is a strategy. That a lot of people agree with. The actual sad state of affairs is that there are folks more conservative that are willing to show that so.

So she's afraid that there's going to be someone more conservative becomes speaker, so the lesser of two evil voting even for speaker. So who does it matter who becomes speaker? You don't have to vote for them until they meet your demands. That's the part she's leaving out. She's like, well, if I don't vote for Nancy Pelosi, we'll get someone even for the right who cares.

I want the same demand of no matter who is the speaker or they don't get your vote and they can't become speaker. Do you understand that the squad has all the power nobody can become become speaker without the squad's votes? Now, there's a lot of people bending themselves into pretzels not to understand this, because they're trying to kneecap this moment like Genk Ugur is.

He needs another round of corporate funding, so he's trying to kneecap this moment and tell you lies like that, just like AOC is telling. They got the same email. Genk got it from the same donor class. He got the email that said, we can't vote. We have to vote for Nancy because someone even more conservative, it doesn't matter who the speaker is, you make the same demand. You make the same demand. Does it matter? No one can become speaker without the squad's votes.

Congressional Progressive Caucus. What is the progressive Congressional Caucus? Well, it's a nice idea that I wish we actually had that's what the progressive Congressional Caucus is. It's a nice idea. I wish we had there's supposed to be one hundred members of the Progressive Caucus.

They should really add maybe to that description, maybe a Congressional Progressive Caucus. Hey, AOC, Nancy Pelosi needs to go, but there's nobody to replace her yet, there's that lie. There's that lie I heard from Jack Ugur and I carried it from AOC.

Isn't that where they both had the same talking points? Isn't that weird?

Isn't it? Where would you. Sounds just like a politician. Isn't that weird that the same talking points?

It is weird. But completely expected, isn't it, after you take 20 million dollars in Clinton donor cash? And now you're sabotaging the progressive movement. Pelosi needs to go, but there's nobody to replace her yet, says AOC. Check my notes really well. There's four million people to leave L.A. Mark 80 border rohana Mark Polk. There's a lot of people. Yet is the battle cry of the Democrats, we need health care, but not yet, is that their battle cry?

We need health care, but not yet. Is that their battle cry? We need health care, but not yet. And it's got another email from the Young Turks begging me for money, I swear to God, they're very close to their goal. That's their that's the Young Turks high pressure campaign to get poor people to give them money, not pressuring the government to give us health care, but to get poor people to give the young Turks money.

That's their high pressure campaign that Jenky is currently running, I'm getting four to five emails a week from them, that's their high pressure campaign. My high pressure campaign is try to make the progressives that we we elected get us Medicare for all. I guess the young Turks want to say we got to demand Medicare for all, but not now, let's not demand it now. Not until we get some more cash. We do we need to do something about climate change, but not yet.

We need living wages, but not yet, we need to end the wars, but not yet. You should be able to go to college without going into debt, but not yet, we have to keep waiting.
