 I I I I Welcome everyone to progressive discussions. I'm your host James P Madonna and I've been doing this since 2007 It is Saturday evening of March the 25th 2023 Yeah, that's what it is. It's we are approaching the last week of March and April Fools is right around the corner April showers that brings May flowers It has been a very mild with there. I mean we have cold temperatures right now Instead of snow We're getting a lot of rain Because it just hasn't been Cold enough To produce normal winter way winter rain It's climate change So we'll see what April brings us It's supposed to bring us. I mean I can't say Oh April's gonna bring us Tons of rain here comes the rain because we've been having rain all winter So I just want to say hello Tommy Carroll How are you? I hope you and everyone had a pleasant week and an equally pleasant weekend Yeah, well, I try I try I got a little bit of a late start, but I Wasn't that late well five minutes Anyway, let me the beginning of show is going to be to Jesse Ventura Recent videos As I always say bear with me because I have to go through the process of screen sharing Like I normally do that should that should do it Okay, this is the first video The 20th anniversary of the Iraq War Wow 20 years already Jesse Ventura the governor on die first then quit You know, I'm gonna toot my own horn a little bit and crew and crow a little bit because it was well over 20 years ago almost 20 years ago now I lost my job at MSNBC and Why did I lose my job at MSNBC? Because I was opposed to the invasion of Iraq. I opposed the Iraq War I opposed it from day one and therefore I wasn't allowed on MSNBC They also pulled Phil Nana you at the time who is their highest rated show because Phil likewise opposed the invasion of Iraq I remember the phone call that came in is it true Governor Ventura doesn't support the invasion of Iraq No, he's a Vietnam veteran. He's opposed to it the subordinate said um does Connecticut know about this Well, what that meant was who owns MSNBC at the time? It was Microsoft and NBC was owned by General Electric Well, if you look into General Electric, you'll find they're a huge war contractor when we go to war General Electric makes a lot a lot of money. So here they own a station where they're gonna have an announcer Speaking out against war, you know, that wasn't gonna happen. Then we got to the third question Was there any chance Jesse would change his mind the subordinate said no way. He's a Vietnam veteran This is a military decision. He is against the war in Iraq. I was right. There were no weapons of mass destruction There were no ties to al Qaeda and it isn't an interesting how the courts just found for Putin He's gonna have a difficult time traveling internationally now because he's considered a war crime Isn't that the same thing they did to George W. Bush and Dick Cheney after the Iraq War? And let's look at those a minute. Here's my challenge to you people Somebody please tell me the difference between when Russia invaded Ukraine and we invaded Iraq They were both done for the same purpose Regime change. They're both based upon lies. The only differences I see between these two wars We were successful in the regime change Russia has not been successful so far That is the only difference and I challenge anybody out there government officials people in the Pentagon Tell me the difference between us invading Iraq And Russia's current invasion of Ukraine They were both done for the same reason and they were both based upon lies So we're a bit hypocritical, aren't we? Yeah, and they found no weapons of mass destruction The wars that were put on a credit card had We all know That most of the 9 11 culprits were Saudis They weren't even really Taliban people that were Saudis The evil Saudis. Hello, mr. Bart Robinson from south Western New Jersey and Tommy Carroll, of course Good evening to you I hope your weekend is going well. Oh, yeah, good. It's good to hear Okay, we're going to The second and last just eventura Video recent video All right, and then we'll get on to the subjects at hand All right, as I always say Bear with me I wish screen sharing was quicker and easier You know Okay, everyone Hey gunner Gunner is too alpha. You're too alpha for your own good Remember that song i'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt too sexy. It hurts remember that old song Oh Pfizer that's come back he uh He took an A huge extra chunk of profit to stuff his pockets The ceo the guy that sounds like henry kissinger Sounds like a zionist the ceo of fizer. That's come back. That's one of the um That's one of the articles i'm gonna read tonight. You must be psychic gunner Waiting for my wire transfer from the chinese people's republic my my uh Very long time friend in mainland china says How come you americans are so? paranoid and afraid of a of an innocent Balloon, it's only a balloon. It's only a balloon I says the spy balloons. She goes now. They're weather balloons I Okay, anyway, let's go back to Jesse Ventura This balloon you're afraid of balloon You know remember, uh, I don't know if you remember f-troop the hakaway indians It is baloo Hey, I watched the the old You the youtube video of that scene. It's so funny Hi governor jesse ventura here for die first then quit. Well, I haven't died yet So i'm not quitting one thing that has me disturbed that I want to highlight and hit today is this I come from the generation Commonly referred to as the duck and cover generation We grew up in grade school back in the 50s and early 60s And we had to do something called duck and cover in school like you have fire drills in school You had duck and cover drills where they taught you that in case of a nuclear attack The bombs are coming and you're in school Well, all you have to do is put your head under the desk And duck and cover and allegedly I guess that would save you Calm you make you think well, everything's okay. It's bullshit to be blunt You're not going to survive anything if that happens. Why would you BS the kids into thinking they will? By duck and cover and here we are it's our generation now That's leading the world the duck and cover generation is leading the world the people who grew up to this cold war And fear of an all-out destruction of the planet because of the bombs and here we are Doing it to another generation Is the new generation in school today going to have to go through the phony duck and cover Are we going to make them do that to calm them and make them feel it's okay and that we're not in any danger? Wouldn't why generation have learned that it isn't a good idea duck and cover Why not end this confrontation that won't end between powers of the world Threatening to blow up the planet now having said that Jesse Ventura has come up with the peace plan Nobody else seems to come up with one, but I got one that came to me the other day Russia invaded Ukraine We want them out of there. We want to save Ukraine Ukraine's a nation that deserves to be its own country. That's all it wants Russia has no right to annex Ukraine No right to take it under the old soviet union and to go backwards in time I got the peace plan Russia pulls out of Ukraine will pull out of syria What are we doing in syria? We have a base there that just got attacked Well, I say we pull out of syria Russia pulls out of Ukraine and guess what that means two wars end and we step towards peace Whoa, I better watch out. I'm talking about peace. There could be a bullet waiting for me Yeah, we're still in syria actually we're we're in quite a few countries we the united states In a military industrial complex has occupied Many countries. I think there's almost There's several hundred or almost a thousand us military bases in existence. Just think of Of how much? Tax dollars can be saved By closing all of these Really, I mean unnecessary us military bases. Just think of that Send the troops home if you want to give them something to do Border patrol south of the border finish the wall And I don't mean like a wall made of Low budget shoddy material. I mean a good wall finish it Watch the border. I mean, we don't need all these military bases. It's it's an occupation. I've said it so many times before Well gunner, I think sounds like Ukraine is winning Um the death toll amongst the russian Uh personnel, I mean soldiers is is pretty high no because Putin like any other Dictator narcissists Eagle maniacal individual We'd rather See his own people perished and then to concede You know these people will never concede. They will never apologize to anyone. It's just how they are um Okay, let's get back To the plan at hand um Speaking of you know what? Speaking of fires or being that gunner brought it up Let's see school What a scumbag Now what are they shoving? Bullshit in front of my face advertisements What's wrong? They won't let me uh They won't let me see the article What's going on? Son of a bitch. How do I get rid of this? I don't want to navigate the stock market with alpha. I'll get the fuck out of here Now I can't get rid of this You know what? Let me summarize it Every time I try to watch a video connected to Breaking news, you know or An important article They they They use like extortion, you know where they if you don't register and sign up with them Subscribe to their publication, then you can't Read the article. I don't know like my Between that and and china Uh not paying attention to international Uh maritime laws In the south china sea Trying to take over the entire south china sea Um World war three might be Right around the corner We might very well be living in the end times I hate to say Yeah, you're damn right no one And I mean no one Citizen ceo politician Um Put your baker candlestick maker Should be above the law No one should be above the law No one Okay, now The pricks are not letting me Read the whole article. So what I'm going to do this You see if like You see this is where I'm up against I had no problem the other day looking at it. It says here Can't get rid of this Says here I know it's not easy to see fiser ceo pockets 33 million dollars for 2022 After 36% pay hike I can't even show his ugly face Yeah, you know what? That's what he stopped in his pockets That's what he stopped in his pockets. So you're right You're right Gunner Shit I wanted to read the article. I never liked the guy every time he was interviewed with that that voice of his that creepy Voice I just never I couldn't stand them This should sounds interesting The world's first solar panel carpet on railway tracks may generate electricity well It's really Idle land just sitting there. Why not? I mean nobody Nobody has a picnic near railroad tracks. It's not exactly. It's not aesthetically pleasing to the eyeballs for people to hang out there and take the family You know It's it's often rather unpleasant Uh land Along the tracks. So why not put solar panels? uh The swiss startups pilot project will focus on the western public rail system and cost around 437 000 240 dollars Oh, you fuck I'm trying to get rid of this There we go. So here's interesting So the solar panels are actually On the tracks beneath the rail Huh, I thought they were like alongside but no no no they're They're right beneath the rails. This is interesting. Look at us folks I'm gonna make sure you're seeing the idea behind The sunway's railway Is to erect solar panels in the space between rail lines Very clever european Leave it up to europeans So to be logical and come up with great ideas And it mentions european startup Sunways has devised a mechanical device to deploy removable solar panels along railway tracks This innovation could be implemented on half of the railway lines across the globe According to the switzerland-based energy startup The area between railroad lines is broad enough to accommodate standard size solar panels Without impeding train passage claims co-founders sunways baptiste denisher This way we switzerland could produce some of the electricity we need denisher Large installations are difficult to construct due to Let me get this fucking shit out of you Large installations are difficult to construct due to a lack of Available space. However solar panels between rails on the other hand have no visual or environmental Impact he added What is the process? Sunways employees factory pre-assembled solar panels from switzerland The one meter wide panels are simply positions Between train lines and fastened to the rails using a piston mechanism There it is close up The panels will unfold while a specially constructed train runs along the track So there the panels are are interconnected And they will just drop into the space between the rails A train created by swiss track upkeep company Shoes are performs installation mechanically the train spreads the photo voltaic panels out Out along the rail track like an unrolling carpet as it travels according to sunways Solar panel installation along railroad tracks is not a novel concept photo photo voltaic components mounted on Railroad sleepers are being tested by two additional businesses italy's green rail and england's Bankset energy however in partnership with EPFL the swiss federal technology institute in Lausanne Sunways is The first to have patented a removable system Dana share declares that is the innovation according to him The ability to remove the panels is necessary in order to perform maintenance tasks like rail grinding Trains continue to travel along the lines without incident. Thanks to rail grinding All right Okay, that's enough Tommy carol JPM we have one of the strongest American presidents in history If he could remember where to pick up the check Well, I'm happy that he gave up The very bad habit of inhaling young female scalps from behind And asking uh Children at the swimming pool to pet the hair on his legs Right, it could be worse As far as doing Beneficial things for the bottom 98 percent no no president in history Has accomplished so much within one term That uh, Joe Biden has but he's not perfect He um, he needs to start remembering The promises he made to bernie sanders for For getting the voting support of the of bernie sanders people Yeah, he made some promises to sanders because sanders You know held his feet to the fire You want me to endorse you you want my people to vote for you? You got to start making some things a reality That will really benefit the 98 percent you mean preventing Railroad incidents grinding I have no idea what grinding is. I know grinding is probably involves grinding grinding maybe maybe maybe uh smoothing the rails out maybe the rails Get damaged over time wear and tear. I'm just assuming what grinding is Oh, what do we got here? Oh interesting This has to do with android phone users, which I am one of them very happy with my android I'll be right with you. Well, let me bring the page up East Palestine Actually, east Palestine is west of the real Palestine When you think about it Okay, google urges android phone users to switch off wi-fi calling to avoid getting hacked and I did that Just the other day after reading this Go to settings people um and go to door says, you know wi-fi and your connection and every day And shut off wi-fi call Google's project zero team discovered multiple security flaws with samsung galaxy smartphones That could allow hackers to target devices easily easily All a hacker would need is the victim's phone number which can be used to compromise The phone without the user knowing anything is wrong okay tests conducted by project zero confirmed that those four vulnerabilities allow An attacker to remotely compromise a phone At the base band level with no user interaction and require only That the attacker know the victim's phone number with limited additional research Excuse me and development. We believe that skilled attackers Would be able to quickly create an operational exploit to compromise Effective devices silently and remotely Google said the devices affected are samsung galaxy phones including those in the s22 m 33 m 13 m 12 a71 a 53 a 33 a 21 a 13 a 12 and a four series Vivo phones including those in the s 16 s 15 s 6 x 70 x 16 and x 30 series google pixel 6 and 6 pro pixel 6a pixel 7 And 7 pro any wearables that use the Exynos W 920 chipset Any vehicles that use the exynos auto t 51 23 chipset All right samsung is aware of the Issue and is currently working on a fix. Yeah, okay However, until a solution is found google says users can protect themselves By turning off Wi-Fi calling In their device settings How to turn off Wi-Fi calling? Navigate to an open settings No, shit Tap connections Tap Wi-Fi calling Tap the switch to turn the feature off 30 30 On some phones You can also disable Wi-Fi calling From the quick settings panel Swipe down from the top of the screen Tap the Wi-Fi calling icon to turn it off. Yeah, that's if if the white Wi-Fi calling icon It's not microscopic You know, I rather just Just make it simple. Just go to settings Well, at least they're explaining it for the simplest of simpletons out there Oh This is not good. This is not good at all Invasive species article concerning of course south florida There are so many invasive species in south florida that are From tropical areas of force and uh, you know It comes from the pet trade and people irresponsibly Just dumping the animal in the wilds of south florida And then they breed and the rest Becomes a serious crisis often Enduring native species What is this shit? Every fucking article I bring up Every fucking article They just bombard me With advertisements Seemed to be having a problem here. I fixed this problem. Oh, there we go Try this again new study Florida's invasive pythons are multiplying rapidly and spreading north Oh, that's not good. Burmese pythons are very aggressive and they get very large They're definitely endangering native species Oh And they got the font so tiny releasing what it calls A comprehensive synthesis of Burmese python science the u.s. Geological Survey Announced early last month that the Giant invasive snakes have now spread beyond their core range in The south florida everglades and into places Like west palm beach and fort mires florida The study calls florida's python invasion one of the most Intricable invasive species management Problems across the globe Well, they need to get they need to get a really good machete like I have just chopped their heads off When they see them on their property uh The study calls florida's python invasion one of the most Irretractable invasive species management problems across the globe and it says that as the snakes continue to spread north Leaving a trail of ecological devastation in their wake Irradication of the species is impossible with existing tools so I guess the the freezing the brief freezing temperatures that hit florida in the uh Recent past uh did nothing to kill them off and uh, the yeah the eastern indigo snake the beautiful snake it's uh it's threatening the eastern indigo which is uh, which is a a native species very unique snake um and uh Not to mention other species Well, you know They're working on it The font is so small It really I don't know How they expect people to read this article But it's a problem and I I think the bermes pythons Um entered the florida wilderness by way of uh hurricane andrew Who uh Let them loose from a uh like a reptile exhibit of some kind. They even found A green anaconda in the everglades Which is the largest snake in the world, but It was very Dossel and laid back. It wasn't aggressive at all. They were able to pick it up and so they feel that it It belonged to someone as a pet And and the asshole just dumped it Can't can't even the font is just so tiny. I can't read it What's this? Well, this is scientific. Uh, it's a new method of Aircraft propulsion, which is exciting. Okay. I guess you're getting a good show DARPA funded electric sky on threshold of aviation revolution with whisper beam seattle washington based aviation technology company electric sky Has announced a significant breakthrough involving its whisper beam power beaming technology funded by the us military's defense advanced research projects agency DARPA whisper beam is designed to send power wirelessly to vehicles while in flight using Only radio waves Now I know why I kept this article because I want to bash these people That are taking credit for something that Another great man of the past Was working on and Invented pretty much Okay whisper beam will be perfectly poised to herald a dramatic shift In how passenger aircraft flying taxis drones And satellites carry and consume the energy that keeps them aloft In an interview with the debrief electric sky ceo and co-founder robert millman Explain how he and his partner jeff greason first stumbled upon the idea Of using power beaming to send energy To vehicles while they are in flight as opposed to aircraft needing To bring along all of their fuel with them People today fly at the same speeds Their great-grandparents fluak Millman explain in fact airliners Today flies slightly slower than airliners In the 1960s 60s and 1970s The primary limited limiting factor he noted was the need for vehicles to carry all of the fuel They need with them on board In the form of antiquated fossil fuels And while ground vehicles have finally begun their electric revolution in the last 25 years or so Yeah, right the electric vehicle was invented in the 1920s It was probably big oil that made it disappear Okay, the dawn of electric flight has yet to take off Okay robert millman and jeff greason uh What they What they are doing is they're taking credit For a science That was Discovered by and worked on by The one of the greatest Scientists of all time if not the greatest scientists of of all time And the greatest mind of all time Is nicola tesla That was The biggest project he was working on was wireless electricity sending wireless electricity From a source on the ground to A A vehicle of some kind whatever vehicle is using the electricity Wireless electricity electricity Is the perfect form of energy in many ways except one it does not store very well Yeah, no kidding That's why when I charge my My batteries with the usb cord my My gadgets are on the house when I charge them If I don't use the gadget well The battery eventually goes dead on its own without me using the electricity So this statement is true Said millman of the primary factor limiting electric flight fossil fuels on the other hand Are the worst form of energy in many ways except one They store very well Unfortunately storage is a huge part of the issue as current electric aircraft prototypes must fly overly laden with heavy batteries The limited storage offered by even the most advanced batteries severely limits Flight times to mere fractions of those enjoyed by traditional aircraft This roadblock has hampered the advancement of electric aircraft And it's still the major roadblock In electric vehicles taking flight in any measurable way so Robert millman And jeff greason are the newest inductees into the chiseler's hall of shame All right My chiseler's hall of shame um Well science goes on Life goes on science goes on got a lot of science got a lot of technology. I love it. I think It's fantastic what they do with uh Health care medical profession with the use of high technology and in every way every aspect of life improving the quality of life This is what technology does for all of us Okay, okay. Tommy carol jpm. I can't keep a train on the track let alone Use solar panels jpm Have you heard mayor pete is expecting again more maternity leave? What does he have a surrogate mother? Uh I they used they use a turkey baster to impregnate her A surrogate mother It's not it's not like the movie That the movie that arnold schwarzenegger should never have made where he got pregnant. It's not like that Maybe maybe they pay they're paying a surrogate P booty booty jig right booty jig Jpm polly walnuts Explanation of snakes Was one of the best I've ever heard Oh polly walnuts. May he rest in peace The actor who played polly walnuts poor guy Anyway, what did he say about snakes? Oh They're not gonna let me They're not gonna let me read this article unless I subscribe So, you know what goodbye article Unbelievable Anyway, I'll I'll read you what it's saying In the headline of what it says china says it will firmly oppose forced Sale of tiktok Yeah Look, I have a tiktok Account that is exploding It's skyrocketing going viral if that's what you want to call it And what about the massive amount of amount of people not not the Not not the not the dumb ass is posting Really ridiculous imbecilic videos Not them The people that are running businesses That are making much needed money to live on and and you know and and On tiktok. I know people that have businesses on tiktok people are making money there So the united states government Uh because they have to politicize everything They They're trying to sabotage tiktok Okay, well all those people That have businesses connected to their accounts, they're going to be really furious Right, we got one more article here we go Well, there's a video Um, yeah, I i i'm familiar with what this is about Really, I can't I can't read such small font, but there's a video here But i'm i'm very familiar with it and very excited over This aspect of science This article is called de extinction. Oh my god the hindenburg Yeah because didn't Didn't it like blow up when it when it was just about to to land when it reached its destination It is that one the hindenburg exploded That was suspicious Okay, I believe the hindenburg Reached its destination and was ready To descend and and and the fact that it blew up at that time I think it's suspicious. All right, this is called the extinction. Okay now It has to do with bringing back Extinct species of animals Uh through cloning But because as you well know many And this is the sad part many, um extinct species of animals Uh became extinct because of Humans human interaction you through over harvesting through The evil greed of humanity You know like Why why if if if the dodo bird tasted good Okay roasted over a wood fire Why on earth did they have to kill every one of them? The european settlers I think it was it might have been the dutch But nevertheless see european mentality Why Why be greedy and kill every one of them? It's like it should be like The fishing industry like commercial crabbers You don't take females loaded with eggs You make sure That future generations Are protected You just you just don't wipe out a species And uh, this is how many of god's creatures have become Threatened and endangered and then extinct And if they're lucky they'll find Enough to start a breeding program if if they're lucky Um, but in order to bring back and clone An extinct species You have to have A perfect strand of dna the dna must be perfectly intact It can't be flawed Otherwise you can't clone The extinct species okay the only play this Let me see if it'll Play and give us good information Okay, i'm waiting Seeing the world in a new life so focus starts with the City gold clients have access to preferred Because seeing something yourself can change everything Now extinction Is a different kind of death Is a bigger We didn't really realize that until 1914 when the last passenger pigeon a female named martha Died at the Cincinnati zoo This had been the most abundant bird in the world It had been in north america for six million years So they wasn't here at all Flocks that were a mile wide and 400 miles long used to darken the sun Alda leopold said this was a biological storm feathered tempest And indeed it was a keystone species that enriched the entire eastern deciduous forest In the mississippi to the atlantic from canada down to the gulf But it went from five billion birds to zero in just a couple decades. What happened? Well commercial hunting happened These birds were hunted for meat that was sold by the ton It was easy to do because when those big flocks came down to the ground They were so dense that hundreds of hunters and netters could show up And slaughter them by the tens of thousands it was the cheapest source of protein in america By the end of the century there was nothing left but these beautiful skins and museum specimen drawers There's an upside to the story This made people realize that the same thing was about to happen to the american bison And so these birds saved the buffaloes A lot of other animals weren't saved carolina parakeet There's a parrot that lit up backyards everywhere was hunted to death for its feathers There's a bird that people liked on the east coast called the heathen. It was loved They tried to protect it. It died anyway A local newspaper spelled out There's no survivor. There's no future. There's no life to be recreated in this form ever again There's a sense of deep tragedy that goes for these things and it happened to lots of birds that people love It happened to lots of mammals Another keystone species is a famous animal called the european oryx. It's sort of a movie made about it recently And the oryx was like the bison. This was an animal that basically kept the forest Mixed with grasslands across the entire european asian continent from spain to korea The documentation on this animal goes back to the laska cave paintings The extinction still go on. There's a ibex in spain called buccardo when extinct in 2000 There was a marvelous animal a marsupial wolf called the phylocein Tasmania south of australia called the Tasmanian tiger It was hunted until there were just a few left to die in zoos A little bit of film was shot sorrow anger mourning Don't mourn or organize What if you found out that using a dna and museum specimens and fossils may up to 200 Thousand years old could be used to bring species back What would you do? Where would you start? Well, you start by finding out if the biotech is really there I started with my wife ryan felon who ran a biotech business called dna direct And through her one of her colleagues George church one of the leading genetic engineers who turned out to be also obsessed with passenger pigeons and a lot of confidence That methodologies. He was working on might actually do the deed So he and ryan organized and hosted a meeting at the beast institute in harvard bringing together Specialists and passenger pigeons conservation ornithologists bioethicists Unfortunately, passenger pigeon dna had already been sequenced by a molecular biologist named best Shapiro All she needed from those specimens that the smithsonian was a little bit of topad tissue Is down in there is what is called ancient dna Is dna which is pretty badly fragmented But with good techniques now you can basically reassemble the whole genome Then the question is can you reassemble with that genome the whole word? George church thinks you can So in his book Regenesis, which I recommend he has a chapter in the science of bringing back extinct species And he has a machine of the multiplex automated genome engineering machine It's kind of like an evolution machine You try combinations of genes that you write at the cell level and then in organs on a chip And the ones that win that you can then put into a living organism. It'll work The precision of this one of george's famous unreadable slides. Nevertheless Points out that there's a level of precision here right down to the individual base pair The passenger pigeon has 1.3 billion base pairs in its genome So what you're getting is the capability now of replacing one gene with another variation of that gene. It's called an allele Well, that's what happens in normal hybridization anyway So this is a form of synthetic hybridization of the genome of an extinct species With the genome of its closest living relative now along the way george points out that His technology the technology of synthetic biology is currently accelerating at four times the rate of moore's law It's been doing that since 2005 and it's likely to continue Okay, the closest living relative of the passenger pigeon is the band-tailed pigeon. They're abundant. There's some around here genetically The band-tailed pigeon already is mostly living passenger pigeon. There's just some bits that are band-tailed pigeon If you replace those bits with passenger pigeon bits, you've got the extinct bird back going at you Now there's work to do you have to figure out exactly what genes matter So there's genes for the short tail and the band-tailed pigeon genes for the long tail and the passenger pigeon So on with the red eye piece colored breasts flocking and so on The animal up the result won't be perfect But it should be perfect enough because nature doesn't do perfect either So this meeting in boston led to three things first off Ryan and I decided to create a nonprofit called revive and restore that would push the extinction generally And try to have it go in a responsible way And we would push ahead with the passenger pigeon another direct result was Young grad student named ben novak who'd been obsessed with the passenger pigeons since he was 14 And had also learned how to work with ancient dna himself sequence the passenger pigeon Using money from his family and friends We hired him full-time Now this photograph I took of him last year at the smithsonian He's looking down at martha The last passenger pigeon alive. So if he's successful, she won't be the last The third result of the boston meeting was the realization that there are scientists all over the world working on various forms of de-extinction But they'd never met each other The national geographic got interested because national geographic has the theory that the last century Discovery was basically finding things and in this century discovery is basically making things De-extinction falls in that category. So they hosted and funded this meeting of 35 scientists They were conservation biologists molecular biologists basically meeting to see if they had work to do together Some of these conservation biologists are pretty radical. There's three of them Who are not just recreating ancient species that are recreating extinct ecosystems northern Siberia and the Netherlands and in Hawaii Henry from the Netherlands with a dutch last name. I won't try to pronounce Is working on the aurochs The aurochs is the ancestor of all domestic cattle And so basically its genome is alive. It's just unevenly distributed So what they're doing is working with seven breeds of primitive hardy-looking cattle like that maramona primitivo on the top there To rebuild over time with selective back breeding the aurochs Now rewilding is moving faster in in korea than it is in america And so the plan is with these rewilded areas all over europe They will introduce the aurochs to do its old job its old ecological role Of clearing the somewhat barren closed canopy forest so that it has these bio diverse meadows in it Another amazing story came from alberto fernandez r.s Alberto worked with buccardo in spain the last buccardo was a female named celia Who was still alive? But then they captured her they got a little bit of tissue from her ear They cryo preserved it in liquid nitrogen Released her back to the wild but a few months later. She was found dead under a fallen tree They took the dna from that ear They planted it as a cloned egg in a goat Pregnancy came to term and a live baby buccardo was born. It was the first de-extinction in history It was short-lived sometimes interspecies clones have Respiration problems. This one had a malformed lung and died after 10 minutes But alberto is confident that cloning has moved along well since then and this will move ahead and eventually There will be a population of buccardos back in the mountains in northern spain okay this um Hold on this video This um lecture by this gentleman was done in 2013. So could you imagine how advanced they are now? um With the whole cloning process They're they're they're really they're on the verge of bringing back the woolly mammoth That excites the hell out of me they're going to Use the asian elephant In the cloning process Okay, uh to bring back the woolly mammoth and the Tasmanian Tiger which is the largest was The largest marsupial in the world They were killed because they were They were praying on livestock By the settlers, you know, okay, let me get okay. Tommy carol Yet well normally I would say because china is ignoring international Um maritime law not respecting um Waters that don't belong to them I would I would say based on this fact I would say yes, I do expect Them to start world war three But there's too much at stake, you know, uh with manufacturing the economy I mean manufacturing for Most likely every business in the world It occurs in mainland china and The united states shouldn't Feel threatened by china's uh successful Economy getting bigger and better by the year Because it was corporate america That brought manufacturing to mainland china and Taught the chinese How to run big business The greed of corporate america not wanting to pay American workers a living wage With decent benefits Okay, and they did the same thing outsource outsource or manufacturing Bangladesh had some outsourcing The united states and other countries outsourced the bangladesh and uh The customer service inbound call centers they're in the philippines now And now not only are they in the philippines Some of them are in south america Like I I called I called a medical medical chain That were my primary doctor belong to and I had to make a I had to make a call to to some main office to straighten something out With with the bill that I I received there was a problem with the bill inaccuracy The guy was the customer service agent was uh in columbia south america so They don't want to pay americans A living wage so all this is outsource office work Yeah, so and so forth. It's all outsource Well socialism actually The the truth the reality of uh Karl Marx Teachings is I mean his first writings it is It represents Um the the wealthy the top 1 percent some say top 2 percent exploiting Uh hoarding all the resources of the country all the prosperity and uh exploiting the bottom 98 percent Um pretty much wanting to bring back slave labor just like uh the sweatshops In the turn of the century with the industrial revolution and uh The greedy underhanded sleazy JP Morgan And who stabbed all of his oligarch buddies in the back Okay, and and uh put them out of business and uh socialism is Where the the people we the people pretty much run the country not the fat cats and uh Every citizen has a right to vote they have a right to hear and be heard And uh, unfortunately We have the two corrupt major political parties Um Arranging it so only they appear on the ballot Okay Now every state should allow Other political parties a third party whatever the reform party the green party Whatever At one time they were all on the ballot. Okay, because Whether it be democrats or republicans they're they're in bed with the oligarch They're they're corporate whores Just like the the us medium Owned by the same oligarch and socialism As bernie sanders season Is what they have In the scandinavian countries what they've had in the scandinavian countries for decades And the people are happier than a pig in shit over there Don't I don't believe any right wing propaganda That tells me that scandinavia is a mess Really they have the most perfect system And to cut to the chase. Yeah, the rich pay their fair share in taxes Listen Ronald Reagan is the one that changed the tax system and put the burden on the middle class Okay, and and and sent the and arranged it for the rich to be on A permanent taxification Okay, the middle class are the only ones who deserve the tax breaks The only ones because the middle class is main street the middle class is the small Emerging growth companies the little guy the little the small businesses the mom and pop stores The The self-employed career people, you know, like the cpa's and and and physicians are The middle class is is the backbone of the u.s economy. So they deserve the tax breaks But Reagan changed it And this is what we're trying to go back to the original tax system Eisenhower who was A great president. He was a republican I think he had The rich were on the original high tax rate and everything was peachy king, you know, everything was uh milk and honey prosperity the 1950s Okay prosperity years And that's how scandinavia is the the little guy is taking care of In every way the the the workers taking care of Their people are happy They're happy they live their lives. They enjoy their lives They're not working in sweat shops They're not they're not overly taxed And that's how it should be, you know life is short anyway But if the if the if the rich are always crying no matter what If the rich paid the original high tax rate Guess what? They're so rich. They're still living high on the hog like boss hog I don't feel sorry for them really I don't They can afford they especially the multi billionaires They can afford to pay the original high tax rate And trickle down economics has always been a lie. Nothing trickles down You're lucky if it drips down what happens is it pools at the top It pools at the top. It's like It's like, okay. I poured my chai Tea with peppermint tea in this mug And I keep pouring it and it's ready to overflow As I'm pouring it but before it overflows I get a bigger mug And it goes into that and then before that one overflows I get an even bigger mug That's what happens That's the truth about trickle down trickle dickle trickle dickle pissle down Is what capitalism is pissle down economics Yeah, unfortunately, unfortunately. Yeah We could be living in the end times. It's all the signs The predictions from the bible Whether it be Nostradamus The great psychic genie dixon Who used to crystal ball she she made some predictions that came true Many famous prophets, you know, and Psychics Have hit the nail on the head. Yeah, we we might be living in the end times 40 pound pigeon while you want to eat it I just want to see these beautiful extinct birds Come back From extinction. You haven't you see how beautiful the the feathers were on the caroline of power key Which is extinct the caroline of power key was a beautiful parrot You know, it really was and because they wanted to use the feathers for women's hats You see For profit exploiting the the animal for profit and And then when they're all gone, what do you have you have nothing? Oh dear, okay now I'm going to send the link out Yes, I am late to send the link out but I just I didn't want to kill myself. You know, I just wanted to Just relax Just set the pace because my my show is usually long anyway. I'm just so And uh, let's see Bear with me I know I always say that Bear with me. I'm sending the links up for the panel So I baited the hook I baited the lure I cast the lure we'll see who We get on the panel For this week's progressive discussions tomorrow. I'll be doing Um the show called red pill man cave. It's a different show different format And that will be starting at 3 p.m. Eastern time Sunday, of course tomorrow. No, I know I know some people are fanatical about College basketball and college football and I could care less about the college teams really So I'm just going to relax sip another hot cup of the shy and peppermint tea with the warming indian spices and I hope everyone Is getting psyched for The next holiday, which is Easter Sunday weekend I think that's two weeks away Not next weekend, but the following will be Easter Sunday the resurrection Believe my I'll be out. I won't be home. I'll be at my sister's house like I usually are For holiday weekends and she'll be making a big smoke tam Maybe Maybe one of her award-winning lasagnas. Maybe she might be doing that too. I don't know When she makes lasagna Let me tell you it's it's It's not Tiny like you get in a pizzeria. It's huge. She uses a roaster pan So you lasagna is like several inches high And uh, she just loads it up you know with cheese and the meat sauce and Now that the the thing was homemade lasagna and You can apply it to any any italian pasta recipe That requires it to go in the oven and bake When you boil the lasagna noodles Do not cook it do not boil it that much it should be like a diving board. It should be stiff It should just flex It should not be limp and soft because You're going to end up with mush You don't want mush Okay, since it's going in the oven it's going to cook more So you want the noodles to be Maybe a quarter to a third cooked When you boil it Okay, like normally when you're When you're boiling any dumpling pasta It doesn't matter what it is tortellini's iniokis raviolis any any type of Any dough related food Don't listen. Don't pay attention to the directions. You don't boil it for 10 minutes. You don't boil it for 15 minutes You boil it until they float to the surface Then you strain it immediately You take you get the colander and you strain it immediately and remove it from the boiling process because Then it starts to get too soft So the perfect um indicator To when any pasta or dumpling is completely cooked it could be spaghetti is when Like I said ravioli tortellini, they start to float once it starts to float to the surface Strain it off immediately strain it okay and uh I don't The only the only canned Well, it's not jar this company doesn't jar it but the only premade sauce That I will ever use if I just am too tired to make anything from scratch And it's exactly it's exactly like homemade or a restaurant sauce It's a company called sento All right capital C en to Go and look for sento White clam sauce and or red clam sauce or just buy both And uh the small can is exactly the right amount for a half a pound of spaghetti They also have A spaghetti sauce and it can't but let me tell you it's exactly like homemade It is it blows away anything You've ever had in a jar Forget about jarred sauces I've I've had so many and they gave me terrible acid reflux They were terrible some of them are too sweet some of them have like corn syrup in You don't want that See what we got here Let me see Somebody in particular I'm talking about food now.
