 They did that too. Bastards. Bastards. Right, and then there were some German U-boats that were very close to the Jersey Shore. The German U-boats came over here. You know, so, you know, so okay. All right. But other than that, other than that, the U.S., United States, as a country, was never really threatened. Federal officials said in a news release that a criminal information charging Halliburton with one count of destruction of evidence was filed in a federal court in Louisiana. Here we go. Halliburton has agreed to pay the maximum fine. Oh, that's going to be a slap on the wrist for Halliburton. Nobody's going to jail. See, just like Wall Street and Goldman Sachs. Nobody goes to jail. But if you protest at Wall Street, you go to jail. Speaking of Goldman Sachs, I believe they just found out the other day, something that Goldman Sachs was behind. They own an aluminum firm or something, a silver. And the law says that a certain amount of silver or aluminum must be produced every day. Well, what they were doing was they were producing, may use let's say 5,000 times or something like that, putting it on trucks, carting it around and bringing it back to another warehouse owned by them. It wasn't going out to be sold or anything of that nature. So what you're telling me was breaking the law. So what you're telling me, this is very interesting, Dr. Bill, is that all the activities of big business since we have a Republican-controlled Congress, all these activities by big business in the United States have been unethical, underhanded, just downright sleazy. And deregulation by Republicans is real deregulation. So they have like a, what's the word, carte blanche? Carte blanche, do what they want. They own the government. They can do everything they want. And nobody goes to prison. But if you protest the corruption, you go to jail. You're a terrorist. You are a terrorist. If you protest anything that big business does, you go to jail and you're, you're automatically, you're instigating violence and you're, you're a terrorist and this and that. But if you're part of corporate and you're a crook, you don't go to jail and you are allowed to continue to be crook. So you see how sleazy and corrupt the right wing is? And all those inbred dummies, those idiots out west and down south, keep on voting for the Republicans based on their cult and that has nothing to do with the God of the Bible. You see how you're being fooled and deceived, how, how you people are really lemmings. It's really despicable. I mean, if I was in Europe, if I was in another country, I wouldn't make fun of Americans. They're, they're, they're the biggest laughing stock that ever existed, you know. Halliburton is going to be armed probation for three years and will continue to cooperate with the government's criminal investigation. Yeah, which will amount to nothing, right? Criminal. Which did not spell out the amount of the fine either. Hey, they didn't announce the fine. Well, let me guess it's, it will not even make. It will be the cost of doing business, that's all. The fine, the fine will not even make a pimple on Halliburton's ass. The Houston based company has also made a 55 million dollar voluntary contribution to the National Fish and Wildlife Federation. Like they, like they care. How nice of you. The company responsible for a careless oil spill suddenly cares about the National Fish and Wildlife Federation. It was not a condition of the court agreement. Halliburton was BP's cement contractor on the drilling rig that exploded in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The incident killed 11 workers. Spilled millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf. Halliburton had recommended to BP to use 21 centralizers in the well. But BP decided to use six instead. The simulations indicated there was little difference between using six and 21. But the program manager was directed to and did destroy these results. I don't believe what you see. Made them disappear. They're going to make you disappear, you understand? That was a little my little photo op that I did before. Similar evidence was destroyed. My buddy. In a subsequent incident in June of 2010, efforts to forensically recover the original destroyed displace 3D computer simulations during ensuing civil litigation and federal criminal investigation by Deepwater Horizon Task Force were unsuccessful. In agreeing to the plea to guilty, Halliburton has accepted criminal responsibility for destroy the aforementioned evidence. Interesting. Very interesting indeed. Horrible Halliburton. And KBR, their subsidiary. Yeah, everybody connected with them. Who made the fortunes in Iraq. Okay. Fortunes. Whilst the 4,400 or whatever died so that Halliburton could make their fortunes. On the blood of innocent poor kids that were fighting for freedom. That joined the military. I bet many of them were from low income families or poor families. That joined the military and I'm going to take a psychic guess, educated guess. They joined the military to get a free education that they could not afford in the private sector outside of the military. They could not afford it. So they got suckered in by the recruiters and the advertisements about getting a free education with a military career. And then the war came about. If they survive. And then the war came about and they were already in the military and they lost their legs, half their head, their face or whatever or dead. And they never enjoyed that free education. They never reaped the benefits of it. That's what any republicans like you know. You mean that you get bumped off. Yeah. Don't come back here and then have us veterans have to pay for you. You know, veterans have to pay for you, etc. So they die on the battle field. So the greedy right wing elitists want to use people. Yeah. They want to use the mainstream masses and the poor for their objective, which is evil greed. And now. They're not home to us, baby. And now, of course, with a republican congress, companies can do anything they want. Governor Christy, and in case anyone doesn't know, that's the governor of New Jersey. Unfortunately. Said on Thursday that President Obama should have been more open to working with republicans when he took office and blamed him for the partisan gridlock engulfing Congress. Why? Obama's to blame. When it's to their benefit, when it's to the benefit of republicans, they want bipartisanship to get their way. But not the other way around. Yeah. Obama's fault for not working with the republicans. Yeah. You know what that means. Giving them what they want. Giving them what they want. Yeah. That's working with republicans. But if Obama and the democrats are fighting to pass laws to help the middle class and the poor and mothers trying to raise kids on their own and the elderly and the disabled. Oh, then it's repeal. You know, we were against it. We're against it. Then they don't want, you know, bipartisanship. It cost us too much. It cost us too much. So it's a one. Yeah. Every everything that's No F7 teams. No, no, no, no. We must buy them. So it's it's a one way bipartisanship their way. Exactly. I see. It's Obama's fault for not working with them and giving them what they want. Screw them. That's like, you know, that's like saying to to Satan. Yeah, whatever you want. Whatever you want to say, boy. Yeah. Hey, Beeslebub, whatever you want, whatever you say, you can have it all. Yeah, you want everybody's soul. That take, take it. Take it. Take it. Come on. It's the same thing. A compromising which is giving into it's not compromise with republicans like this fat pig obnoxious, a gas bag, Chris Christie. It's only one sided this bipartisanship. Christie, a republican seeking a second term and is widely viewed as positioning himself for a presidential bid in 2016, participated in a discussion hosted by the non-partisan Aspen Institute in Colorado. He touted his own ability to work with Democrats. To win the support of organizations and individuals who backed his opponent four years ago. The events held in conjunction with a meeting of the Republican Governors Association also featured government Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. Bobby Jindal? Yeah. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana and government Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Oh, that's come back? Yeah, that's come back. Jonathan Martin, a New York Times, new national political correspondent, moderated the events and noted that all four governors are seen as potential presidential contenders in 2016. I have to concede that when I thought I'd see the four of you on the stage together, it wasn't Aspen. I had in mind it was Des Moines. Martin said before rattling off a series of questions on voters low opinion of Congress as well as immigration, the economy, Obamacare, and the rise of libertarian populism in the Republican Party. Christie cracked jokes and had the crowd roaring with laughter when Martin asked him about his son Andrew's political views. What the hell is his son Andrew's political views? I don't know. I didn't even know he had an older son. Is this something like what Rudy, member of his son, member of that crap with his son? Oh, the kid wouldn't stay still. Rudy Giuliani was given a speech. I think it was his winning the election or re-election. And the kids in Andrew Giuliani, he was a fat kid. He wouldn't stop moving. He was like fidgeting. And they made fun of him. Oh, it was hilarious on Saturday Night Live. I remember that. They had, I think, Chris Farley because he's chubby. The late Chris Farley. Yeah, they had him doing it. I don't know. Christie has an older son like that. I know he has a son. He's got a daughter. But he has a son that's grown, that's an adult. No, he's not an adult. Oh, okay. That's why I'm saying. I don't know what, I've never heard of this before. The only thing I can think of is, like I said, with Rudy and his kid. How the hell do they know what his son wants to be when he grows up? Come on. There's no use having children. If you can't brainwash them, Christie quipped. He then added, he's in the Princeton Republican Club. Oh, wait a minute. This sounds like an older kid. He's, yeah. Princeton. Yeah, well, Christie's trying to brainwash everybody in New Jersey. So why not his children, right? Exactly. Maybe he does have an older kid. The Princeton Republican Club meets in the closet. And, well, they should stay there. The other governors praised Christie for his leadership, following Superstorm Stand-Aid and working for all New Jersey. Residents, not just Republicans. Short of, and don't get any ideas, hitting them on the way out, Christie is on track to win in New Jersey. Oh, yeah. Because an obnoxious, pushy guy like him just has to win. With, I think, unprecedented support, not only from Republicans, but from Democrats as well. Yeah, well, to hell with the masses, I mean, the middle class in the port of New Jersey, as long as Christie and his rich buddies win. What that says is, particularly in times of crisis, now we are in an economic and fiscal crisis in our country. In each of our individual states, what people want more than anything isn't just Republican or Democrat. They want leadership. Though her spokesman, Christie's Democratic challenger, State Senator Barbara Bono, took jabs at Governor Christie on Thursday. She better take some hard, below-the-bell jabs, if she expects to defeat Christie. Under Governor Christie, New Jersey has one of the lowest rates of job creation. The highest unemployment rate in the region, and one of the highest unemployment rates in the country. And I don't think the poor and women are too crazy about him cutting programs to help women, you know, and closing food pantries and Planned Parenthood and all that, and social programs. His only economic plan has been to provide wealthy corporations with billions in tax breaks, which has left New Jersey lagging behind. Yeah, welfare only pays recipients $140 a month under Christie. You can't even, I mean, I don't even think that covers a food bill, you know, utilities, let alone rent. It does not cover anything. It doesn't cover anything, really. It's the same thing with food stamps. It's unheard of, $140 a month and cutting food stamps. These are single people without children. In other words, if you don't have young children to a Republican, well, even if you have young children, they don't really take, they don't really care. But if you don't have kids and you're single and you're poor and a gutter, they carry much less, you know. They bandy about this figure of four, what is it, $4.50 a day for food stamps? Supposedly give you, that's a lie. What the hell is that going to do? That's a lie even if it were true. You get less than that? If it were true, it's only one meal per day. One meal? Yeah, what kind of a meal? Four dollars and fifty cents. That doesn't even, that barely gets you a pint of roast pork fried rice at the Chinese takeout. Right. That's only, so okay, so let's say it'll cover lunch or breakfast. Breakfast or lunch, that's it, one meal. But as I say, I happen to know a person who's receiving $16 a month in food stamps. Which is, which is microscopic. Which is meaningless. Meaningless. Not for him, mind you. Not for him. Well, it's 16. It's 16 extra bucks a food. It's $16 of more than he had before. But it doesn't, it doesn't really help in a supplemental way with the overall food bill. Food expense, no. But neither does any of the welfare programs crap. Gross. Because it's not meant to. It's not meant to get you out of poverty. No, but raising the minimum wage. That would do some help. From seven in change to $11 in change will help a lot considering there were enough jobs out there. Minimum wage jobs out there, it'll help bring people out of poverty. And how about the, the cheating that's been going on with programs like Social Security. Where today, let's just say somebody's making $1,200 on Social Security. Where in they should be making $2,400 in Social Security. In the New York metropolitan area. In the New York metropolitan area. Even if they raise the minimum wage to $11 in change. You still can't pay the kind of rents that they're charging in this part of the country. You can't afford the rents. So how the hell could you afford utilities and food? And if you have a car, let's say you have an older car, you know, car insurance, gas. You know, it's like a lot of employers will ask you, do you have a reliable vehicle to come get to work? You know, they'll ask a lot of questions nowadays. You know, and then they want to know, a lot of people ask your credit. They want to, they want to check your credit. And so it's like, you have too many applicants going for the same job. And they're so nitpicky, these companies, that it's like. We should not be obligated to corporations for our survival. Big mistake. Like what the Industrial Revolution did to America. Big mistake. People left family farms. Went to the city. And went to the city. And lost their independence. And their freedom. That's right. And their liberty. That's right. So when you hear Republicans today talking about freedom and liberty, don't listen because they are full of shit. You mean when they wave the flag and play the patriotic game? Yeah, what is it? Yank. John Philip. Susan. The marches. Don't those marches, they make you, oh, they give you tingles and everything and how to be a patriot? Is that why they, is that why they wear the lapel, the little flag pin on the lapel? Yeah. They're fake Christians and they're fake patriots, believe me, because everything therefore is anti-American, you know, like outsourcing all the American jobs and not paying taxes. And they do not know the God of the Bible because everything they are for is against the God of the Bible. Yeah. Not the other dude from the Bible, Satan. He loves Republicans. But Christie painted a different picture. He said after, in fact, Governor John Corzine four years ago, because he worked with his leader, oh, that's the Democratic Party. John Corzine, the former Goldman Sachs man, the billionaire that was the Democratic governor of New Jersey, which I could never understand. Who used to be CEO for Goldman Sachs. Yeah. How he ran as a Democrat, I can never guess why. Goldman Sachs has its nose in everything in the government. And people, we the people are supposed to be of the government are letting it all happen because people don't want to get involved. They want to party. Anyway, Christie said that because he worked with the leaders of the Democratic Party and everything, this has helped jumpstart to create jobs in New Jersey. Okay. He also said that while he has been willing to work with anyone who backed Corzine, Obama did not reach out to Republicans early enough and instead pushed through initiatives, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, often called Obamacare, without a single Republican vote. Remember what else didn't get a single Republican vote? Social security, Medicaid. That's right. Voting Rights Act. That's right. Anything good for the people will not receive a single Republican vote. That's true. So it's no big deal. He didn't try early enough, Christie said. First impressions matter in these jobs. Christie, who worked with Obama to pass an aid package after Storm Sandy said the president must be held responsible for the gridlock, Obama's fault. I think the only person in Washington who can bring the parties together is the president of the United States, Christie said. Really? So that's it. Okay. Okay. We are ready for the Reverend Dr. William J. Oh, you're going to, oh, you're full. No, because I ate at the pizza. Oh, so when William H. Morrow III calls, I could just take his call. You could take his call. Okay. All right. That sounds good. That's right. Dr. Bill had the pizza and the heavy-duty craft beer, so he's full. Oh, his belly is full right now. He'll eat a little later. Yeah, he should be calling any minute now, but let me see. Yeah, he should be calling like any minute. Are you sure that we can't redid this thing? Do you have a shorty? Well, it has to do with what we were talking about here with the food stamps and everything. Okay, let's get into it and then you could take over. About 47 million Americans received food stamps last year, but only a relative few are required to work or look for a job as a condition of receiving the aid. Now, House Republicans are considering whether the work requirement should be strengthened as they seek cuts to the 80 billion a year program. Yeah, where are the jobs, Republicans? Where are the jobs? Well, they have a job. Republicans have a job, which has doubled in cost over the past five years. I wonder why. There he is. We'll have to postpone. Yeah. Hello, is this William H. Morrill III? We're good. Dr. Bill was, well, we read an article before about how Halliburton is admitted that they destroyed evidence that they were to blame for the Gulf oil spill, which is kind of doesn't surprise me. Yeah, there's well, they're going to get fine, which is going, we were talking before about it's going to be a little slap on the wrist for Halliburton to pay that.
