Under The Skin with Russell Brand
Jimmy Dore on the State Of Politics
This week I’m joined by Jimmy Dore. Jimmy is a comedian, political commentator, and host of The Jimmy Dore Show! He is a popular progressive political pundit on YouTube, and he has some very important insights on how politics should be challenged and revolutionised. In this episode, we speak candidly about what is necessary in order for political change to occur: Can we do it from within the system, or do we need to revolt and create change from the outside? Why are people still voting for candidates and political parties that don’t represent their views? What is it like being a stand-up comedian with such outspoken views? And how do we create new politics?

He describes the technique known as Tapping, which is a natural healing method that combines ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. .Nick tells us the science behind Tapping (also known as Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT) and describes how it effects the brain and the body. Tapping, he says, can turn off the flight-or-flight mode, to help the body relax and heal. He has been developing and practicing this technique for a long time, and has helped people from all walks of life--including high functioning athletes, people with chronic pain, those suffering from grief, and others.
