Ooo, you’ve all got legs! ?
You may love Stef even more than Jimmy, marazona. Meeting her at Flappers just melted my heart, all that talent without one iota of selfishness or vanity. Stef is not the great woman behind Jimmy, she is the great woman WITH Jimmy.
Go see ‘em! ????
Hi generalstrikenews,
I just saw this video and MAN are we ever silenced out there! What the hell happened with this video? You can hardly hear the hundreds of us.
?Jimmy? KILLED it up in that building, we rolled!!
I highly recommend seeing The Doreman anywhere he’s on. Tickets ain’t expensive at all. I went to see him at Flappers in Burbank the night after this TYT Sweet 16 party. Some of his material there was from the party, but it was just as hilarious as I was with people who were hearing it for the first time. Stef Zamorano (the missus) and Graham Elwood were there cracking us up too, but Jimmy ended up regretting calling Steve Oh up out of the audience. Steve got up there and BAYAM, stolen thunder. Steve KILLED it on more than one occasion, it was so funny seeing Jimmy yell at him LOL ?
Go see Jimmy guys! And have a nice dinner with the show. The steak and cheesecake I had were ????
Wow that was a tough crowd during Jimmy’s set. Seemed like the liberals in the audience couldn’t take a joke. Why so serious?
Just a note for future events, one which I’m sure has already been made: if Jimmy is going to do a set, it would greatly improve the final product if you mixed in an audience audio feed. I know it’s a small thing that is more work in post, but I feel it would make a large difference in the final product. With only Jim’s mic feed, someone could easily think that the room is totally not digging his set. Who knows, maybe they didn’t. I know Jim is kicking the dust off his stand-up chops after focusing on the show for several years (thanks for giving him the space to stretch those muscles here by the way). Me personally, I enjoy his material the most when he marries his political rage with his humor, like at the end of his set. Anyways, congratulations & keep up the great work. #MoreDore #rEVOLution #NinaBernie2020 ??
He knew it too, bit at the end about explaining jokes? I don’t think he really wanted to do it and tried just to wing it. If you heard him on Joe Rogan, he was pretty clear he knew he needed to do a lot of work to get his stand up back up to scratch. After listening to that I knew his set was probably going to bomb, and I think he knew it too. He was saying just the other day he didn’t even know what he was going to do for it.
32:37 Dore: “We’re no longer listening to the media monopolies; they’re listening to us!” Well I certainly hope so; I’m bored of the repeated anti-mainstream media message on Aggressive Progressives. Is this what Jimmy’s stand up is normally like? I’m afraid of heard so much of it on AP that at most half of it is new.
Found the story Ana was talking about, where the virgin woman didn’t actively work on her sex life once married and Cenk gets angry.

*Cenk eludes to John’s nickname “Jonny Tie”*
John: Cenk I have an new worst moment with the company
Me: Whatever you say, Sprinkles
**Note**
I love and respect John.
The funniest news crew out there!! Especially when sitting around and talking. Picture MSNBC, CNN, or right wing media sitting around and trying to do the same.
“What, did you meet a guy with a dick on his hip?” fuckin’ Jimmy Dore lmfao
Great show! Good to be a member, good times, bad times, agreement, disagreement (even during this event :-),
but at the end of the day, where are you going to go, what are you going to do..? NO, this is the best news network and a hub for progressive policies and politics and there is no alternative. Congratulations!
Her beauty is one of a kind. Gorgeous,gorgeous woman!!! I love her.
God Ana is so, so hot
I like Jimmy a lot, but his set was TERRIBLE. Embarrassingly so. He was great on the panel though. The entire panel was awesome!
They didn’t have mics on the audience. Everybody was laughing their asses off but you could barely hear it
Oh I didn’t make my assessment based on the audience. I just didn’t think it was funny. And I was very disappointed because I was looking forward to his set.
He was great! Whats wrong with you?
You liked it. Great! I didn’t think it was funny. I thought he was funniest on the panel. I laughed my ass off then. I think he’s hilarious.
One does not simply walk into more Dore.
I wouldn’t have posted this, there’s no good that comes out of scratching open old wounds. But the infinite cycle of amplifying a lie needs to stop.
Shortly after releasing the video of Jordan’s firing, the whole internet and the TYT crowd went insane about Jordan “misusing funds”. At the time, I pointed out this had NOT been actually stated by TYT, and there must be a reason for implying misuse of money without actually spelling it out.
I requested people in the madhouse that the comments had turned into to not help spread an unverified allegation that is extremely serious, and a possible disqualifier for future employment.
Being callous and careless about an allegation of stealing money from the job is something you do if you are a really scummy human being, and unfortunately, the scummiest have kept yelling the loudest on this.
So here’s what finally happened. I don’t know the ebb of legal events that would have forced this statement out of TYT but here’s the eventual clarification.
https://twitter.com/TheYoungTurks/status/951993560580141060
******************
“TYT & Jordan Chariton have reached a mutual settlement. While Jordan and I had disagreements while he was working for TYT, we never said, or meant to infer that he “stole” anything from us.” (“Infer” was a wrong use, should have been “implied”).
******************
Of course, this did not come out as an announcement video, like the one with a deft implication that set Jordan’s social media accounts on fire with allegations of stealing. TYT would probably say that the public reaction was not their doing and they would be right about that. A majority of viewers didn’t have the basic decency to hold back and carefully verify whatever information was out there before jumping headlong into spreading a false slander. And Cenk knows his viewers, he’s not a successful media person for no reason.
Cenk made lots of public statements and videos, you’re late to the party.
Jordan betrayed the trust of the people.
Can you actually read ? Doesn’t look like it.
Glad Jimmy was there! great all around
Jayar and Ana need to come clean about how they’re always kicking it all night (every night!) ;-) Also, Ben does have AWESOME hair. And on men’s looks, I like John in the suit & tie; it’s cut’s so tight and well and he’s got the well-groomed hair and beard (ish), it’s sexy. Sometimes leaving it to the imagination is much more appealing to women, and I don’t think many men get that.
What makes John so attractive is his brain, everything else is just a bonus :-)
That’s absolutely true as well. I don’t think of him as just a handsome face, and I know he’s been dating a woman for quite some time now and I wish them happiness in that. He’s a very talented man and we’re all lucky to have his insight on our side and not the republicans!
Jimmy Dore: as funny as a heart attack.
Yeah he was REALLY bombing in the humor department, at least to me. It seemed like not very many audience (folks actually there in the crowd) members laughed as well.
I felt sad about what Jimmy was saying about his family. That’s why it wasn’t overly funny. Geez, 12 kids! But I can relate since I am one of five. Five is too many. There’s absolutely NO privacy, and you are one of many.
If you are of bearing age-shall we say-be smart and keep it to two or three kids.
As the fifth of EIGHT children, I relate to Jimmy. He is like my smart ass little brother, and I love him! Please come to Tempe Arizona and bring Steph, I promise to laugh my ass off:-)
You’re right that is sad. Are we sure he was being serious? 12 children, I can’t even imagine that. If I had to go through childbirth even once I think MAYBE I could be talked into a 2nd child if it was affordable and responsible, but 12?! By after #6 I’d surely just axe murder whoever it was kept getting me pregnant and swear off of sex for the rest of my life!
@dratheart Catholic family. Jimmy’s not lying. He TRULY comes from 12 kids. Catholic.
Jimmy’s Irish-Polish.

Because of the Young Turks I can Fight the Fight armed with Facts…. and the knowledge that I am NOT ALONE!….. God bless TYT and America!…. Whisper of a Dream!……..
They couldn’t ever party without mentioning Trump.
I almost teared up listening to Ana. True Earnest. Cenk. Keep up the pace when the sun rise I’m going to up my membership.
Ana really was inspiring. She’s REALLY mastered public speaking between her innate talent, debate practice against people like Ann Coulter, and of course in teaching college classes. And that’s another way you can tell she really cares about inspiring people and training the next generation, in that she went back and got her master’s and takes very crappy teacher-pay (I’m guessing Adjunct Professor) to do it every day! She really puts her time and money where her mouth is, it’s not just lip service. She’s just so… well “real” for lack of a better word. So many people on TV/media/and in schools seem FAKE. Ana cares and you can tell! She inspires me as well! She comes in everyday at TYT and often has to report on HORRIBLE and DEPRESSING stories, but she keeps fighting! She keeps that internal fire burning, and her sharing it with me (and others I’m sure!) is what keeps me going some days!
“What do we want?”
“MORDOR!”
“What do we want?”
“MORDOR!”
Audience full of Orcs. :/
Oh my gosh you guys DO have legs!!! Haha congrats on 16 years and here’s to many more! Much love from the best coast… Boston specifically
I didn’t doubt the legs… but pants?! *mindblown*
I love John! Don’t make fun of him!
Jimmy put out that fire at the RNC, and it worked!
The one he was on Old School with talking about Anthony Weiner?
Is anyone else hearing someone else talking while the people on stage are talking?
Ugh, yes.
Don’t get me wrong— still absolutely loved every minute, but there were several audio flubs. This is also part of the TYT experience. Keeping it scrappy!
Kinda sad Jordan is not in the “first time” montage video. I understand why he was left out, but he was great on tyt politics.
Jordan betrayed all of us and was terminated for good reasons so he doesn’t deserve to be in it. This is also the era of #metoo and he is NOT on-board with that movement and would be more trouble than he’s worth.
WOW. So it’s fine to mention WES, who literally DID betray Cenk & TYT Network, went flying off the handle religious nutjob, tried to sue TYT, smeared bullshit lies about them, ranted about black helicopters & conspiracies, etc. But JORDAN literally went by the exact same viewpoint that most the TYT staff have, two consenting adults, both were drunk, the woman repeatedly propositioned Jordan, he was very reluctant & asked her many times if it was ok, got off her IMMEDIATELY when she was acting uncomfortable, and there is evidence she only filed a claim because of a personal vendetta! Where the hell does that have anything to do with BETRAYING TYT???
He improperly used a TYT credit card that you, me, and all the other members help pay for. I’ve NEVER had a hotel room fancy enough to have a hot tub in it in my entire life. While TYT was fundraising, he was getting himself and other drunk on OUR money. Jordan STOLE from us, period. The woman Jordan was involved with was also his subordinate in his own web news venture that may also have spilled over into TYT money as well. I’ve never betrayed an employer that way and I never will!
This is correct and terribly sad. I expected a lot more from Jordan and that was an incredible disappointment. In regards to Wes, I hope that guy is ok since it looked like he got all sorts of paranoid after the Standing Rock encounters. I can’t even imagine being Cenk and have betrayals like that happening behind him, it’s heart breaking. Glad TYT pulls through, here’s to another 16 years!
Thank you, dratheart and sumtinsumtim, for telling the whole story about Jordan and Wes. I’m sure it was with a heavy heart mixed with anger and disappointment that Cenk had to fire both of them, but they did this to themselves. Too bad. No one is irreplaceable.
Something for the idea box: when you have the “Power Panel” on Friday nights you should consider having Alison Hartson and/or Doug Applegate as one of the people on the panel. Of course, I’d LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to see Dylan Ratigan or Ryan Grimm in the studio if/when they visit the area. Nomi is ALWAYS great! She’s my girl!! :-)
Cenk never fired Wes. Wes left. Cenk is a good friend, and tried to show Wes compassion. What’s happened with Wes is deeply tragic.
I reached out to Wes on twitter myself about 2 or 3 weeks afterwarda. Not a long thread, but we had a decent exchange. He didn’t want to come around, at least not at that point… what can you do? Just hoping he’s alright.
I hear you @dratheart about Jordan and I tent to agree, but I don’t believe TYT sees it that way. I’m saying that, because Ty Bayliss is still at TYT. He was involved in everything Jordan did, including the drinks, paying with the credit card etc. and he was of course in the hotel room and faced similar charges. So I’m still convinced Cenk only fired Jordan because of public backlash and I don’t know if he’s actually convinced he did that much wrong / would have fired him let’s say 5-8 years ago, before TYT became as big as it is today…
BTW I never heard anything about this Wes stuff. Do you mean Wesley Clark jr. ? And he did what now?
After letting down a shit ton of veterans at standing rock with bad logistics and not a lot of planning to help so many thousands that showed up he had a mental breakdown. He turned to religion and thought he was a prophet for the word of jesus. He then became paranoid, and said people were after him, including even Cenk.
He thought Cenk is an Erodwan Turkish spy and owes money to vegas is plotting against people and Wes “told the FBI” on TYT
That’s awful! And terribly sad. Poor Wes & Poor Cenk on that one. I think many of members and surely TYT loved him a lot; I hope they can get him away from the damn religious cult shit and bring him back home. But as I can attest to, treating mental illness often takes a lot of trial and error on meds as well as a duration of counseling, time to heal, and loving people on your side. I wish him the best. When his father was thinking of running for President back in the day I’d have voted for him in a heartbeat, but as he’s aged (as often happens) his been more “Republicanized” from what I’ve seen and heard. Either way it’s sad about all them.
When you are employed by a company and your poor judgement brought them embarrassment, it should not be a surprise to anyone when that person is let go. I sincerely regret my past post that asserted he was using TYT to fund his side project: Rage against the machine. But, I think it is clear he used poor judgement (something I have suffered from, on more than one occasion). Jordan is an excellent reporter and we have not heard the last of him, but actions have consequences…
I get to say Ana looked beautiful here because I am a member and I made it happen.
Ana is f’ing AWESOME. She’s gorgeous to look at but she’s also REALLY smart and full of fire to take down BS, and seems to be a really kind and caring human being. TYT and us are all lucky to have her and I think she will achieve ANYTHING she sets her mind to!
#AnaForPresident2028 anyone? (after Bernies second term ;-) )
I voted for Hillary but if the ticket was Sanders-Kasparian I’d totally vote for them and canvass the whole damn city of Houston for them! She’s 31 now, would Ana be 35 by 2020? Well January 2021. That’s not a bad idea to have her as VP, actually. She’s a master of politics, debate, connecting with people, presenting a great image. She’s also young and vibrant and might have a bit more stamina than Bernie to do a lot of the traveling and organize the hectic campaign environment. Could that happen? Can we whisper of that? And she adores the man and they clearly have a good rapport (as seen in her interviews of him and the town hall). TYT could help raise a LOT of the individual donor money needed too. I say we whisper of this! Does anyone second it?
Sold!
#SandersKasperian2020 it is.
