  1. I feel like the show tonight, or next Thursday or whenever, needs to address the recent investment and new corporate entry on the board in TYT in a serious way, preferably with Steve Oh present.

  2. Can you guys PLEASE understand and discuss the real issue here?

    In the 1970’s there was a massive energy crisis that disrupted our economy and almost ignited a social, political and economic collapse. Congress held hearings on the matter to determine how to prevent it and to understand the issue deeply. M. King Hubbert was the foremost expert on energy policy and told congress that we have TWO INCOMPATIBLE SYSTEMS merging in society. We have the exponential growth requirement of the Economy/Money system which also demands exponential activity in our Matter and Energy system. Unfortunately there are PHYSICAL LIMITS to the matter and energy system. We need to move on to a new system and no one has the balls to admit this or even discuss this. I’m not talking about socialism or communism either, they won’t solve this issue. Politicians HAVE to keep the energy system going or else there WILL BE A COLLAPSE IN SOCIETY.

    Please research more or email me if you have any more questions.

    1. @andrice7 EXACTLY!
      Can’t have INFINITE Growth on a FINITE Planet.

      Soon if not yesterday we need to think more about SUSTAIN rather than GROW.
      Remember, some growths are Cancers. They grew BADLY & UNCHECKED until they harmed the very body they are a part of.

  3. Great Yes Men story. But do we really need three “straight men” on this show? Jimmy is getting too diluted by all the redundant co-hosts (who aren’t aggressive in the least – especially Steve-Oh-Shit-I-Have-No-Business-Being-On-This-Show).

  4. Chuck Schumer told Mcain that if he votes against the repeal the democrats will not oppose the NDAA (National Defence Authorizations Act), and so the military got 100s of billions of dollars and Mcain got to pretend to be a human. Meanwhile he actually voted for more war overseas… it’s truly a dark time when you have to allow murder overseas in order for Americans to keep their healthcare, Americas system is disgusting but perhaps even more disgusting are the Republicans that will play with peoples lives for money.

  5. Try and put up a photo of a “clearly bought judge”
    They need to be exposed five seconds or more several times with their names.

  7. The Yes-man was not believable because of his beard. His beard works for a professor impersonation but did not work for a DNC spokesperson. At least, it did not fit my stereotype.

    I found McCaskill’s eyewear supplier: http://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=hza%2fJHu6&id=382D2D33FD6CA67C08B73BC624A4CBC7E65616EE&thid=OIP.hza_JHu6QgO3XNyJb9DJBwEsDh&q=mr.+magoo&simid=608005764033153000&selectedIndex=6&ajaxhist=0

    AP, thanks for reminding me of the stratagem called “giving cover.” By using it to protect Republicans from constituent wrath, she is either admitting that she is stupid or she thinks her constituents are. Something for her constituents to think about when she comes up for re-election.

  9. Haha, I see Jimmy knew it was a prank. I do love how he exposes all out corript, lying, greedy politicians.

  10. Didn’t they find out that the Politicon thing SUPPOSEDLY by the DNC was actually a prank by the time of this show? Guess I will find out as I listen to this.

  11. Best Hillary meme yet; htpps://youtu.be/Ap6Ljj8PK3o. start at the 5 minute mark. Thank yoy to Mike @ the Humanist Report for finding this, i still laughing.

  12. Weak-minded corporate Dems & pseudo-moderate Repubs try to appeal to Everyday Peoples’ deep down desire for Decency (our goodness as humans) and Unity (getting along with the world) and Peace (sit there and take it), while shoveling crap all over us – they must GO NOW!!!

    McCaskill and the hundreds of others are quietly allowing the brutality of the corporations to crush us – then she is actually our enemy.

    We need courageous leaders who will actively fight with words, actions, leverage, truth, conviction and votes to get what the majority of everyday people want – which is what the ‘Yes Men’ guy said!!!

  14. Very good show. I loved the interview, questions and responses from both Pramilla and James – very passionate and heartfelt. I would definitely like to see Pramilla run for office and to have her on the show again.

    Yes, Please do positive segments – I want to see progressive actions & elections where we are winning the fight!!!!

  15. Jimmy told us to BE AGGRESSIVE, so here’s my demands:
    1) three shows a week at 2 hrs/show with one interview/show
    2) continue to do in-depth interviews with very progressive activists, journos, everyday folks, politicians & minds
    3) I want an interview with Cornell West, Glenn Greenwald, Bernie, Nina Turner, Ben Jealous, Dylan Ratigan, Chris Hedges, Naomi LaChance, Ryan Grim, …
    4) create a end the war segment each week with a big world map showing costs, how long, death tolls, advancements, provocations, lies that got us into war, problems with our war actions, organizations trying to get us out of war, and list ways for everyday folks to help stop the war machine.

    2. @SeanBoyd That’s AGGRESSIVE, alright.
      I don’t know about #1. We don’t wanna burn Jimmy & Co. out.
      But for #2, #3, #4? HELL YEAH!
      ESPECIALLY #4! I LOVE that idea!

      People love them some Jimmy Dore & I can’t blame ’em.
      The dude is on fuckin’ point right now.
      And not just him.
      Stef Zamorano, the Miserable Liberal “I’m miserable. :-D”; Ron Placone “Howdy Howdy!”; Graham Elwood, the Political Vigilante; and of course Steve Oh (bad British accent) & Malcolm Fleschner (you say Fleischner) continue to make powerful points on this show.

      The TYT Split-In-Opinion during last year’s 2016 Election Season resulted in one of the coolest shows on the network.
      That’s why I dig TYT even more.
      Cenk says give them a platform & let’s hash it out.
      This Trump Era may seem to fray TYT but in the end it’s gonna make them MUCH MUCH stronger.

    3. Awesome list….no. 1 might make it a tad hard for Jimmy to have a life outside TYT so pump the brakes a little on that one methinks, perhaps a couple of 90 min shows would be doable.
      Definitely onboard with 2~4….especially 4, could be achieved relatively easily and would really keep reminding people of the ridiculous reality we are actually living in.
      Cheers

  16. Great show. It is well worth membership…just to be able to rewatch A.P. THE YES MAN, was an awesome delight! Jimmy, you mentioned (on an a TJDS that you were NOT invited to POLITICON this year…consider it a gift from your Catholic Angels that you missed that FUCK-FEST). Love this panel, as ALWAYS, your conversations leave me wanting more…

  17. If Frank Spencer thinks he is brainwashing everyone there about all we want, the DNC brainwashing and corruption has come full circle…we need to get rid of these FOOLS and the MAINSTREAM MEDIA who indulge us in all this MADNESS!!!

  18. McCaskill trying to ask for bipartisanship…yeah Claire, to SCREW OVER EVERYONE ELSE THEY WILL COME TOGETHER!!!!!

    1. Agree to all the above…I am NOT a democrat, (so I don’t get their propaganda mailings), but my suggested slogan would have been: TIME TO TAKE OUT THE TRASH AMERICA…anyone running against MOST of these elected-idiots…please use with my blessing…

  19. I don’t know what it is but I love Stef. She’s funny in her own right, and makes good points, but especially when she laughs at one of Jimmy’s jokes it just puts me in a good mood.

    1. When I first started watching Jimmy on the Jimmy Dore show, I never saw Steph, and thought she was hilarious (I totally agree about her laugh). I also didn’t know she was Jimmy’s wife. Once I learned that fact, I loved Jimmy even more. :)

  20. RE: Healthcare Bill

    Does Jimmy know how to say “I was wrong”?

    So glad Malcolm is on the show. What’s really interesting is that Bernie called it about 2 seconds before it happened — he knew. How did he know? Great video shows it.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUVYYiRIuE4

    The only way to fix healthcare is to pit it against another industry. Which industry benefits the most from the decline of health insurance? We’re working on pitting Pharma ag. Private Prisons now. Not the only way to fight the good fight (we could sit around and talk about it all day) but it works.

    I agree with Malcolm RE: M. Barnacle. Malcolm, Jimmy doesn’t give credit — everyone’s an idiot. I’m sure if he met me, with all the work that I do to correct and work on these issues in my own community, he’d call me an obsequious idiot. That said, I respect Jimmy, we need Jimmy. He’s what Malcolm X was to King — “if you don’t deal with him, you’ll have to deal with me”.

    RE: DNC @ Politicon

    Who is this guy! He’s great!!!!! Great segment. Spot on. I had to listen to it a few times…lol.

    Hey, hey, ho, ho, the DNC has got to go!

    1. Did you miss the part when Jimmy Dore said that DNC guy at Politicon WASN’T actually with the DNC. It was a hoax in a way. I can’t find any info about him from the DNC, so it appears as if Jimmy is correct, however would love to see someone corroborate Jimmy’s claim.

        2. Thanks for the links, I had never heard of the Yes Men before so I was confused when Jimmy mentioned that on this episode, I didn’t know what he was talking about, but I got that it was a hoax when at the beginning he said that back in February the DNC voted to stop taking corporate donations, when in fact they voted the opposite direction on that, allowing PAC money to flow in to the DNC http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dnc-pac-contributions-ban_us_58b1ac9ee4b0a8a9b782bb00
