 for Dr. William J. Eisenman. Okay, welcome everyone. Welcome to Progressive Discussions. Happy St. Patrick's Day week, 2016. St. Patrick's Day is next week. And I just wanna say greetings to all Irish people worldwide, including Irish Americans. And the very best place to purchase your imported Irish souvenirs and authentic gifts is to go to XavierGifts.com. That's X-A-V-I-E-R Gifts.com. And tell them Megalife21, James P. Madonna, sent you for the finest gifts. I wanna say greetings to everyone. My Facebook administrators, Sash Boyle, McFawn Raven, Anthony Laura. And yeah, everyone. I don't think I have that many left, to be honest with you. Yeah, that pretty much covers it. Because there's not that many that are proactive doing their job. That's why there's not many left. But to my near-dear friend, greetings in Osaka, Japan, Miho. Hello, Miho. My name is James P. Madonna. I am coming to you from the Newsletter-Censored Research Center in Northeast New Jersey. And I am in Green. My green eye's odd and my funky-looking green sunglasses here with the Blackthorn Irish Shalely from XavierGifts.com. I would like to introduce my co-host and mentor and the founder of Newsletter-Censored in 1977. The Rev. Dr. William J. Eisenman. How are you feeling this week, sir? Boop. Well, all right, you're alive. Barely. A gentleman that myself and a voiceover artist, William H. Morrill III, no personally, has passed away. Sarkis, his name is Sarkis, Armenian man. And him and his wife, lovely people. You know, I believe her name is Margaret. Amazing. But he was very ill, and he passed away. So I send my condolences to Margaret. Margaret, she's amazing. She's in her mid-80s, and she drives, and she runs around. And she's as alert as can be. And she talks just like you and I, you know? I mean, you would never think she's in her mid-80s and took care of herself, I guess. Very smart woman. But anyway, my condolences. I purchased another very large corned beef brisket. So all you bars and pubs and restaurants that are too fucking cheap to have all you can eat corned beef and cabbage, I don't need you anymore. I will prepare my own all-you-can-eat buffet, corned beef brisket. What can I say? You know, I'm happy that Bernie Sanders has become more aggressive during the debates. It's getting more heated. The heat is being turned up naturally because 2016 is just moving along quickly. And I think Bernie Sanders, I want to congratulate his very surprising win in Michigan by landslide. He wasn't the favorite to win. Of course, the media has Hillary winning all the time. And they feel Bernie doesn't stand a chance, but Bernie is hanging in there. He's not that many delegates behind Hillary considering the states that are left. Now, Florida is next. Is this Tuesday, I think? Is this coming Tuesday? The Florida primary is coming up soon. And there was a huge rally. I watched the YouTube video, a tremendous, enthusiastic, loud rally of people in Miami, Florida, and a lot of young people there. And it's good to see that many young people, many millennials, they said that they will be voting for the very first time for Bernie Sanders. Now, the California primary is not all that far away either from what I hear. And California should supply a lot of delegates to whoever wins it. Yeah, but they already added the superdelegates to Hillary's accumulation. So they're giving her superdelegates. That's great. They're handing it to her on a silver platter. And I know I'm reading a lot of articles about how dastardly that Deborah Wassercunschitz is and how many Democrats would like to see her step down or leave. And I think she is responsible for the partially responsible for the cheating of handing Hillary the unearned superdelegates. And I'm sure there are higher powers above her, the top 1% that would like to see Hillary just be handed all the superdelegates. Now, there are people out there. There are ultra-liberal Democrats that are obsessed with political correctness and they all they care about is making history by having the first woman in the White House, just like they wanted to make history of having the first African-American in the White House. Not looking at the fact that the both of them, Hillary's much worse, but the both of them are corporatists, Democrats, just like Bill Clinton was. But they have selfish agendas because every lobbying group happens to have very selfish agendas. They don't look at the whole picture. They don't look at the society and government and the future of our planet and the future of their children and their grandchildren and so on and so forth. They just look at what they want. That's why we have lobbyists. It's selfishness, basically. And like Jesse Ventura says, you don't have to meet with them and comply. Well, you won't get it. You do if you want campaign contributions. That's what Bernie Sanders said in Florida. If a Republican said, you know what? I've spoken to all the scientists and, yeah, climate change is real. It's very real. And we got to do something about it right away before it's irreputable. I mean, before it's too late. The tipping point. Right. As soon as that happens, Bernie Sanders says the same day, the Koch brothers and the top 1% will say, you're not getting any more money. Bingo. We're cutting you off. The fossil fuel industry. So this is the thing. Yes, Jesse Ventura was right. You don't have to meet with any delegates, but then you have to raise money the way Bernie's doing it. $27 at a time on average per person. But unfortunately, that's what we have with the wonderful capitalist system, which has always been rigged for the wealthy. And ever since the Industrial Revolution, it has. Has Adam Smith said? It has failed. Who supposedly is the father of capitalism. Lovely. He said, whenever two capitalists meet, yeah, a conspiracy of trade is occurring. Well, they're always looking to make the deal, like Donald Trump says, right? Yeah. But the deal is always against the country and the people. And all for them. Yeah. All for them. Yeah. Well, the very concept of buying low and selling high is dishonest in itself. That's why under God's economic standards will never change. You're taking an item. Let's say it's the new call bell. Lovely. Trump. Lovely. Trump. Lovely, crisp sound. Let's say a company in a United States-based company wants to make these. Well, first of all, they won't make them in the U.S. They'll have them made in China. That's right. For pennies an hour, whatever the hell they pay, 32 cents an hour or whatever. Okay. And then they'll have them shipped here. And of course, they won't be tariffed like they should be. They won't be paying the tax, bringing it back in. And they should be made here. Then they should be made here. Or like Bernie says, they won't, if they don't want to comply, they will not be allowed to sell their products in the United States. That's correct. Now, buy low and sell high, well, supposedly, originally in capitalism, there is a reasonable profit, but a reasonable markup to be made. Now, with these businesses, I'm sure do, is they're probably making much more than 100% profit. Profits for corporations have gone up by 21%, and taxes for corporations have gone down by 5%. Like one stingy, greedy businessman says to me, well, James, what do you consider a fair profit on a product? Well, I told them it sure isn't going from $100 your cost to $400 retail. That's not a fair profit. That's highway robbery in layman's terms. So a fair profit would be, in their eyes, whatever will sell, and if it doesn't sell, they'll supposedly lower it, but making an astronomical profit, let's take fine jewelry. That's just a legal way of just stealing from people. It's deception. They lie in their advertisement. I see it all the time. They lie in their advertisement. And by the way, how's the frying pan? It's working. It's doing all right, huh? All right, okay. But what they do when they advertise them is they take some truth. They take a little bit of truth, and I guess they embellish, and they make it much more important than what it is, and they might add a little tidbits of lies here and there. And then what you have is an infomercial. But yeah, the very concept of the buy low sell high version of capitalism is crooked in itself. But anyway, so Hillary, I hope they dig up a lot of dirt on her emails, the investigation, and theoretically that's not going to go anywhere. Because they won't let it go anywhere. No, what they've done is, and they did it to Colin Powell too, all the emails that are marked classified were classified after she had anything to do with them. Just like Colin Powell's. Some of Colin Powell's emails are now classified. Oh really? But they weren't at the time he was dealing with them. So that ain't going to go anywhere. There will be no indictments or anything of that nature for that. And as far as you've heard, there's no other, besides classified information, there's no other dirt connected with Hillary's emails? Not with the emails. There's plenty of dirt otherwise. Oh, she's an easy person to debate. There's plenty of dirt. I mean, she is easy as can be for anybody to debate her in a political race. I mean, could you imagine? Donald Trump will have a field day with Hillary Clinton. Speaking of debate, there was a debate on Thursday, you know. This past Thursday? That's correct. Republicans. Again? Again. I missed it. I have to go to YouTube. That's right. Another debate. They don't exactly... CNN. Interesting. CNN, huh? That's correct. Yes, CNN, the supposedly impartial network. That's a joke. CNN. Well, let's just say, you know, it really is tough for Bernie to get the word out if he can only do it on the Internet. Because none of the mainstream media is really putting out his material. I don't really see it. They all think it's fantastical. Well, they think it's fantastical because they don't want to acknowledge that the man is truthful in what he says. They don't like his plan. They just don't like it. They don't want the rich to pay their fair share in taxes. That's correct. They don't want education and health care to be rights instead of privileges. They want to privatize every damn thing. And they don't want to follow the path of Germany and Scandinavia. And it's oligarchy, like Jimmy Carter said to Oprah Winfrey in that video clip. Well, we have as an oligarchy anyway what he was saying was, what Jimmy Carter was saying was, now you have like blue states and red states. He says, we didn't really have that 30 years ago. And that's threats like campaign financing, corruption, Citizens United, so on and so on and so on. But, you know, so anyway, that's about, I don't have any products to really complain about. So I don't really have any Chiseless Hall of Shame inductees. So it's just a pleasant St. Patrick's Day week show, 2016. So anyway, let us sink our teeth into these readings. Oh, speaking of products, consumer products, I've been seeing lawsuit commercials late at night about talcum powder causing cancer with women, either ovarian, uterine, or both. Now, why hasn't the FDA pulled talcum off the market if this is the case? I just want you people to... Why have they pulled off sucralose? Sucralose causes cancer now. Yes. Robert Atkins used to be all excited about it when it first came out. You know, I mean, why aren't the health food, vitamin, nutritional companies that make, let's say, whey protein powder for athletes, why are they using sucralose and not something safe like stevia? Natural and safe like stevia. Why are they continuing to use chemical artificial sweeteners that are hazardous to your health if it's a nutrition company? Why did they change the name? From Splenda to sucralose? Splenda was like the nickname for sucralose. Just like NutriSweet was the bullshit nickname for aspartame and the word NutriSweet reminds me of the Republican pet names like the right to work state or the clear skies of Emmett or Citizens United is a positive ring to it. Citizens are uniting, getting together like the citizens, like they want the 1% to have all the money and control everything. So NutriSweet is like a Republican pet name for aspartame. But it's a nutritional company. Why are they using harmful chemical artificial sweeteners? I have no idea. Anyway, I want to thank Undercover Bob and the renaissance man, Ken Creey for doing a rather amusing show with me the other day. It's on the internet now. Thank you to the both of you. All right, let's sink our teeth into these readings. I need some tea. Former top aides to Governor Christie knew they were engaged in wrongdoing when they closed access lanes to the George Washington Bridge to punish a political rival because they lied about it. I think it was the mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey. Federal prosecutors said in court papers filed on Friday. Okay. Former Port Authority Deputy Executive Director Bill Baroni. Baroni Baroni. And Bridget Ann Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff to the governor, created a massive traffic jam to punish Fort Lee Democratic mayor, Mark Sokolich. Naturally, a Democratic mayor was punished and engaged in lies and deceit by creating a cover story that the lane reductions were part of a traffic study. The filing by U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman and his office was in response to the defendant's motion to dismiss federal charges against them, which include the alleged misuse of Port Authority resources. The defendants argued that the charges should be thrown out because, among other things, they are based on vague federal laws that have been twisted to fit the facts of the case. They also said that they did not have fair warning that a federal statute applied to their actions. Baroni and Kelly were indicted on multiple counts related to the lane closures last year, while another former top Port Authority Executive David Wildstein pleaded guilty to his part in the alleged scheme. Prosecutors said in Friday's filing that the attempt by Baroni and Kelly to conceal the true purpose of their actions negates their contention that they lacked fair warning that their conduct was wrong. They said the use of a sham story about a traffic study to explain the closures was a lie that demonstrated conscious wrongdoing. They argued that the indictments against Kelly and Baroni sufficiently alleged the misappropriation of Port Authority property. The Port Authority, after all, is in the business of facilitating transportation and commerce, not purposely creating traffic problems in a town as a way to send a personal rebuke to a public official for not endorsing a particular candidate. The prosecutors said stealing agency services for personal use is the equivalent of pocketing agency property or money, and it does not matter that their motive was to punish Mayor Sokalic rather than to enrich themselves personally. They want to sock it to Sokalic's levy bells. Prosecutors also said that the government planned to introduce evidence at trial regarding the costs of the alleged scheme, including the money spent to redo a legitimate traffic study that was going on at the same time and had to be scrapped because of the lane closures. Prosecutors said any person of ordinary intelligence, let alone veteran public officials like defendants, would know it is prohibited to defraud a public agency of its resources, especially to accomplish an objective fundamentally at odds with the agency's public mission. Guilty! Guilty? Well, as far as I'm concerned, all conservatives are guilty and they all have loads of skeletons in their closet, including the corporateist blue-dog Democrats. They all have much dirt to uncover, and it's, you know, well, it was my opinion that I think I feel that Bernie Sanders should have been aggressive from the very first debate, but that was his choice. He wanted to handle Hillary with kid gloves because she's a woman and be a gentleman. And you see where it got him? She kept on punching him really hard in the balls in the old collumes. The problem is not so much of that. The problem is that she has these supporters left over. She already ran once. She's got these supporters. Bernie said she had old-time supporters in Southern states when Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas. They had all these people that they knew down beyond the, in their, I'll say, Sun, Southern states. And from her presidential run in 2008? Yeah, she knew people. She has been in the game before. There you go. That's what you're saying. Hey, she was nasty and mean to Barack Obama when she ran against him. Yeah, that's exactly correct. Shaking her head and yelling and with that annoying voice of hers. But, you know, Elizabeth Warren, there's a mystery. There is a mystery wrapped in a fortune cookie of why she has been so low profile and quiet during this campaign, like not coming forth to announce who she's endorsing, took her forever, which I was shocked because she's definitely one of the finest progressive warriors. I mean, you know, this Tulsi Gabbard, she is a sharp cookie. This woman is very impressive. Congresswoman from Hawaii and war veteran Tulsi Gabbard. Did you hear her when she talks? No. No, she's been opening up for burning at all the rallies. She's, yeah, she's good. She's good. She's, you know, for me to brag like that. I mean, I'm impressed with her. So anyway, she knows a lot about foreign policy. That's for sure. But anyway, continue. One morning last spring, a North Jersey birder was sitting in his living room minding his own business when he spied a distant black bird, a top one of the many wood duck nesting houses that populate the large pond in a nearby natural area. He grabbed his camera, ran to the closest observation point. When he arrived, he saw a crow perched ominously atop the nesting box while mom and dad wood duck swam nervously underneath. It was nesting season. They were no doubt concerned about the parcel of eggs inside the box. The crow wanted to make himself phenomenal. The crow finally flew off and the female wood duck flew up to the box and reclaimed her turf. When the birder glanced around the pond, he counted at least six crows standing on nesting boxes around the lake. You said birder. The guy who watches bir- It sounded like burger, like a hamburger. Birder, okay. What the hell would he be watching burgers for? Because the way you pronounce it, it could be misconstrued as burger. And then you get me hungry, but I bought a good lunch anyway. Several crows headed for the wood duck box nearest the birder and drove off. The female duck. Two crows sat atop the box and two more circled around. Quack, quack, quack. After all, four crows flew both the male and the female duck returned to the box only to be strafed again by crows. Really? One crow even craned his head and peaked inside the nest before they all eventually flew away. Here's what the heck was going on? The crows. Legendary for their intelligence and mischief. Yeah, they're like ravens, you know, same family. Did not appear to be after the apes. What the hell did they want? And the crows did not attack the ducks so much as to show them who was the boss. Yeah, I wonder if they're omnivorous. I wonder what they are. I think they're just like opportunistic fears, maybe. Like the lead dead, carrying, you know, the lead anything they could get their beaks on. Oddly, the crows had staged their little raids in silence. So the birder wasn't sure which kind of crow was responsible. New Jersey is home to two types of crows. The American crow and the fish crow. They are virtually indistinguishable except for their calls. They always come by early in the morning. I wonder where they all go when they leave. The fish crow is more likely to have a southern roar. A southern roar? I'll say that, son. You mean they talk like Heckel and Jekyll or something? They're from Faust County, South Carolina. So this is my life. Seven bells for the crow family. I think raven, you know, it is true, ravens are the smartest birds in the world and one of the most intelligent animals, period. They're very impressive looking. What had the birder witnessed? A little slew, Rick Raddis of New Jersey, Audubon agreed to be the consulting detective on this case. I've watched crows and ravens since I was a kid. I've never seen that behavior before, but only once with wood ducks around. I've seen fish crows and American crows look into and create a ruckus around nest boxes on a number of occasions. Crows are regular nest robbers and wood duck eggs would be tempting, but crows couldn't get through the little hole. They ended up eating crows. Mr. Raddis wondered if the crows might have been scouting for their nemesis' owls. Owls attack crows? I thought owls were bigger than crows. Owls are nocturnal predatory raptors, but I know pigeons are victims of raptors, as well as rogues. Pigeons are smaller, that's what I'm saying. Crows are smaller than an owl. So the owl should be after the crows? It depends on what species of owl. Well, if crows are in a pack, they'll gang up like a wolf pack. They will be a force to reckon with, but if they're not in a pack, well, crows are not nocturnal. They're diurnal. So owls are sleeping when crows are awake. There's a nest box in Great Swamp that year, after year, has screeched me. And that year, after year, has screeched owls. And from time to time, I've seen crows land on the box, look inside, and start screaming for others to come and look. Mr. Raddus said that legendary bird expert, Roger Torrey Peterson, once told him to look at scenes of fender vendors and other road incidents. He said you will almost always see a crow around, looking down from a pole or a tree, checking out the action. Peterson's other crow theory, according to Mr. Raddus, crows are smart enough to get bored and to hassle other bird species just for the fun of it. So, food, predator, curiosity, or boredom? Who knows the mind of a crow? Well, I just want to remind everyone that everything we discuss politically is part of our series, Capitalism and a Conk Shell. Except the crows. Except the crows. There's the conk. Look at that conk energy. I had the best Mexican food I ever had in this popular chain that opened up a new location on Route 46 here, east in Lodi, I believe it's Lodi. It's a formal place. You go up to the counter with your tray, they give you the food when it's ready, it's an outstanding food. Outstanding. I had four roast pork, they call carnitas, a Mexican-style soft tacos with a big slice of avocado in the middle. And of course I put their hottest hot sauce on them and came with a side order of chips. And I put the green sauce on the chips, which is tomatillo. Anyway, excellent. What do you... Los... It's called Los... Nah, if I can't get it right, I don't want to pronounce it. But it's a great place. As testimony in Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker Media grew extremely explicit on Tuesday. Gawker Media? Gawker. Gawker. Like when somebody gawks at a woman? That's correct. Let me tell you something, brother. An attorney offered evidence that Hogan has publicly discussed sex and other intimate details about his life over the years. He wants attention, he's not in the spotlight anymore. The testimony included detailed references to Hogan's sex life and sexual parts. In this case, they should call it his testicle monie. Instead of testimony, go ahead. In one audio clip from Bubba, the love sponge Clems Radio Show, Clem and Hogan, who used to be friends, discuss the length of Hogan's penis. Did anybody inquire about the length of Hogan's penis? Or have he just volunteered all this? Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bolea. Terry Bolea, yes. Said he did these interviews and media spots in the persona of his Hulk Hogan character and not as he is in real life. Also, let me tell you, he was in character. The testimony elicited Hogan's take on his famous public image versus his private life. At times, a discourse on celebrity culture and identity. Attorney Michael Sullivan asked Hogan if he was embarrassed by some of the immediate appearances pointing to a clip on the Hogan Knows Best reality show. In that snippet shown for the jury, Hogan sat on a toilet, his pants around his ankles, talking to his wife on the phone. Lovely. Anything for attention, eh? Hogan said, no, he was not embarrassed. Oh, no. It's part of the show. It's part of the good and bad of being an entertainer. Hogan also said he did not have a problem with news outlets discussing or even writing about the sex tape. It was only when Gokker broadcast in the edited clip of the actual video that he said he began to suffer. And never had a problem with the article. My problem is the videotape. It's on the internet. It lives forever. Hogan said. Well, even if you take the video off? Yep. Hogan said that when he had sex with Clem's wife, with Clem's best of blessing. Really? He did not know the encounter was being taped. Oh, for God's sakes. Hogan and his attorneys are suing Gokker for $100 million. It was being taped without him knowing it. I just think that's real funny. Just did the thought of it. Saying that his privacy was violated. That he suffered emotionally. He suffered emotionally during the sexual act? Because it was taped. And the video was not something of legitimate public interest. Oh, no. I don't know about that. I think that's a video that would make somebody a ton of money. Although the trial has been chock-full of salacious details, an interview Tuesday mentioned Hogan's fog-shaped tan line that was visible in the video. So, Hogan, where's the tong on the beach? Doesn't that seem a little gay for a man? It's also a serious First Amendment case. The core issue. Did Gokker have the right to post one minute and 41 seconds of the sex tape approximately nine seconds of it actual sexual content? That's it. What's wrong with this guy? He doesn't know how to hide a camera? I think he's going to run into fair use there. Nine, nine, come. You said nine minutes or seconds? Nine seconds of sexual content. Oh, big friggin' deal. The rest is whatever. Let's see. Nine seconds. Zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, zing. That's it. Zing, zing, zing, zing, zing, and it's over. That's not even time to get it in. It's like a rabbit. It's like a bunny rabbit. I hear they have very short copulation periods. Gokker says the publication was a legitimate scoop because Hogan had talked openly about his sex life before. In forums such as the Howard Stern Show. Naturally, that's going to be on Howard's show. The jury may have to grapple with questions about how celebrity affects expectations of privacy. Hogan attained pro-wrestling stardom in the 1980s and 1990s, winning multiple championships. He also became a celebrity outside his Hulkamia fan base. He started with, I believe, AWA. He burned Ganya out of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota. I remember a young Hogan starting with AWA. Many people did, actually. He appeared in movies and television shows, including VH1's Hogan Knows Best. That reality show with his ex-wife and daughter. I felt sorry for Hogan. His ex-wife was nagging him constantly. She says, we need to remake you. I'm going to throw away all your clothes and we've got to take you shopping to update your fashion. He didn't want to do it. He liked his baggy genie pants from the 80s. He liked his fanny pack. The thing that goes around your waist. He liked it. That's out of style. That's 1980s. We've got to change you. We've got to do this. Why don't you do this? Why don't you do that? She was on his back all the time. It makes you wonder why some guys don't want to be married. If John F. Kennedy were around today to write his book Profiles in Courage, Mitt Romney, on the strength of his speech last week in Utah, would deserve a chapter. For Romney gave a clarion call for sanity in this rather insane political year for Republicans. I got news for you. If JFK was alive today, I guarantee, I feel that FDR's second bill of rights would have become a reality if JFK went on to serve two terms and survived. Oh, yes. Some on the right denounce Romney. But Romney is trying to save Republicans from themselves. What is ironic is that the right-wing echo chamber is doing what the left would love to do, destroy conservatism. That sounds like a great idea. You can say that Donald Trump isn't in the mold of Ronald Reagan. He's not a politician. He is in the mold of a former radio commentator, Father Charles Cogland. First of all, Ronald Reagan is an actor. He was a movie star, turned a very incompetent Screen Actors Guild president from what movie legend said, Hollywood said, and then he became president of the best puppet Republican Party and the top 1% ever had. So, you know, and Donald Trump is not a puppet by a long shot. Radio commentator Father Charles Cogland and former Louisiana politician Huey Long, both of whom appealed to the worst in people. Demigods like Trump can rise quickly. But it doesn't last. And when they fall, not only do they go down, but so do their followers. Yeah, and their reputation is severely tarnished. I mean, look at the type of people Donald Trump attracts to his rallies. You know, I mean, hey, I was shocked, the NRA is supporting Bernie Sanders, to be honest with you, but Trump has all the white supremacists. Donald Trump, speaking of the devil, appears invulnerable to attack. The 2008 Republican Party nominee John McCain is deemed no hero, but a loser for being captured. No, he's not a loser, but to be a POW doesn't make you a hero. I mean, to survive it is very impressive. To get out of it alive means a lot. I mean, but a war hero, you know. Mitt Romney, the 2012 standard bearer, blew the chance to dethrone a rival president, says Trump. Even the Pope should just mind his own business, as Trump says. So anybody who disagrees with Donald Trump should mind their own business. The slings and arrows of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are swatted away by Trump as if they were petty annoyances. Well, they're like little gnats. They're like little ganats, yeah. They're, you know, little Marco Rubio, you know, like Trump says, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. He's like a little boy, bing, bing, bing. Little Marco. Little Marco and the other one. And Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz. With a voice like that, he ain't gone nowhere. Pointy knows. He's got a little too much twinkle in his eye, him and his father. He has a gay pedophile kind of look to him. Ted Cruz, you know what I mean? Well, he's out of his mind. He's out of evangelical, you know. And they all pray like they're constipated, you know, squinting their eyes like they're going to take a big shit, you know, their hands up in the air. You know, so God hears them better when their arms are up in the air. You know, it's their antenna. The size of his hands, really? Trump seems to be saying, is that the best you can do? This year, of implosion of the political process, all our understood conventions have been torn asunder. So while the elder statesmen of the party, like Romney, may castigate Trump, not castrate, castigate. Castigate. Yeah, thank you. Trump and Warren of the pending apocalypse, their voices are drowned out by the sounds of the cheering throngs welcoming the man who will save them from those who had tried and failed. The weak, like Ted Bush. The incapable, like Rubio. The vile, like Cruz. And losers, like McCain. And yes, Romney. I would like to say, well, it's not a belated happy birthday because I actually found out it was his birthday during the evening of his actual birthday. But I would like to say a belated happy birthday to Mr. Glenn Bean of the state of Wisconsin. Happy birthday to you. Better late than never. But I posted something on his Facebook profile. Mr. Bean. Yeah, Mr. Bean. Now, do you have a short one before lunch or do you just want to cut for lunch? Cut for lunch? Okay. We're going to have lunch. All right. I got some. I got two big Alaskan wild salmon salad sandwiches with seafood curry and a banana. As a Chinese woman said, she called it a balala one time. A balala. She couldn't pronounce the word banana. So what can you do? We're going to try one more time to see if our technical crew can add William Hamilton more of the third to do promo. We're going to give it one more shot unless some force is trying to throw a monkey wrench at us. I don't have no idea, but that's why you've been seeing this show in like four parts, four video parts, okay, instead of one big video. But anyway. We'll see you either in the next video part or unless something positive happens. Yeah. This is William H. Morrow.

For the real hard-hitting truth, you need newsletter censored. And now, back to the show. By the way. Okay. We're back. And excuse me. We are back. And Happy St. Patrick's Day Week 2016. This is progressive discussions. Let us sink our teeth back into these readings. I know there are many everyday annoyances. That I notice. I'm telling you, Dr. Bill, if I was allowed to video things as I'm driving, I could easily slap together a reality show based on all the stupid, assenheim things people do every day. You know, I mean, but I think I'll get pulled over if I did that. If I started, you know, if I drove with one hand and held up video device with the other hand, I'm not sure. Or does it only apply to texting? I am not sure. If you're using your hands for something else, you're supposed to have two hands on a wheel. Oh, really? Oh, really? You can't drink? No. You're not supposed to drink beverage? No. Why not? You're supposed to have both hands on the wheel. What if you have one real strong hand that can razzle that? If you are disabled, there will be accommodations. No. But what if I need to consume a nice hot cup of... Then you will pull over? Java. And you will do so. Okay. Go ahead. Nothing in this extraordinary of election cycles is quite as anomalous as the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by black Americans for Hillary Clinton. Oh, my God. This is what was bothering me before. The statement I made about the South. And their dismissal of Bernie Sanders. The guy who marched with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X and all those civil rights leaders and got arrested for protesting. Right? But they want Hillary. What the hell is Hillary going to do for the poor and minorities? What's she going to do? What did her hubby do? Back in 1996. She just threw you... With a nudie gingrich. He gutted welfare as we know it. He gutted out welfare. He ruined it. He signed away Glass-Steagall. And he threw the pofolk a few crumbs. From the... From Chillery and Billery, you're going to get a few crumbs because they're corpus. From Bernie, you're going to get two handfuls of ripened mangoes. Or a whole loaf of bread. I think we're importing mangoes from India now and giving them nuclear information. That's our trade policies, you know? Well, because they know that India doesn't like Pakistan. And Pakistan is puzzled harboring terrorism. Maybe that's why they feel it would buffer and help make things. Well, they both had a nuclear weapon long before Muslims... Islam is terrorist or terrorist. They had a nuclear weapon when... What is it? And Hiragandi was El Presidente. Well, mangoes and papayas. And I believe the banana. All three are originally from India. They have a mango festival in India once a year. There are hundreds of different varieties of mangoes. It's fascinating. They even use the green mango in a pickled salad. I ate it, I loved it. I thought there were olives. I thought it was green olive. No, it was green mango. And they also use the green papaya in culinary recipes like salads, you know, marinated salads. It's awesome. I never knew what it was. From her vote for the disastrous Iraq war through her continuing support for deeper American involvement in the Middle East in the form of interventions in Libya and Syria, Clinton has consistently identified herself with policies that have led to the bagering of our country, a monstrous increase in the national debt and simultaneously a reduction in public funds available for social and economic initiatives, infrastructure rebuilding and the like. This is the great detriment to America's ever-widening underclass of which black Americans form a significant part. As a group, they claim to have suffered most under the economic policies of recent presidencies, Republican or Democratic. It is remarkable and inexplicable that a group of Americans who might benefit the most from a change in U.S. public spending and the reallocation of resources persist in their misguided support for a candidate whose policies will necessarily diminish such a prospect. Yeah, I mean, with Bernie, they'll get free healthcare for all the free university education, public university. I mean, a paid maternity and paternity leave, optimum social programs and food stamps. You won't get that with Hillary. I don't understand their thinking. It's totally illogical. Bernie Sanders would seek to reverse those trends. It is completely mind-boggling why many of your African-Americans from the South see value in supporting Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. There was no logical reason for doing so. Doesn't make sense. Good news for those going gray. Well, you can get just for men. A new study has identified the gene responsible for graying hair. Scientists have long known that the gradual disappearance of melanin, the protein that provides hair's color, causes the hair to go gray. But the origin of this process wasn't yet fully understood. When researchers from the University College in London studied the DNA samples of more than 6,000 people of European, African, and Native American descent, they found the gene. IRF4. What triggers it, though? Which sits on the chromosome 6 was responsible for melanin. Although other factors like age and stress contributed to growing gray, scientists hope that the identifying gene could potentially lead them to products that could prevent gray hair instead of just covering up grayness. With hair dyes or other coloring methods, the study also examined other facets of hair and hair growth such as unibrow's. Oh, gosh. Curly hair and beards. The study was published in the Journal Nature Communications. Well, the unibrow solution is a pair of tweezers. I use that on myself. Tweezers, huh? I don't want no freaking Groucho Marx eyebrows. You know? Or gray hairs on my eyebrows. I pluck them right out. Well, pluck you. You know, there's a very clever, famous chicken takeout place called Cluck U. I think it's in Delaware. Cluck U. Little change of pace. I made a pace. I've been with my fiancee for three years and I'm very much in love. Oh, goody-goody for you. A few months ago, I asked to use his phone to look up something on the internet. Here we go. Because my battery had died. It opened up to a gay porn site. Interesting. Cluck, and I asked him if it was something he was looking at. Well, naturally, if it was on his phone. He admitted that it was. Nothing like this has happened to me before, so I began asking if that's what he likes and is into. That's a valid question. He assured me the answer is no. But he looks at it. He said he looked because he was simply curious about it. He told me he loves women. Doesn't want to be with men. Said he was just looking. I believe him. But. But. Is this normal behavior? Usually I have an answer for everything. This time, no. I don't have an answer. I don't know. Well then, we'll have to look into Dear Abbey's answer, won't we? I guess so. Well, it seems that Dear Abbey looked at her question to an expert on the subject of adult entertainment viewing Larry Flint. Oh. She knows Larry Flint? A sexpert. He's a sexpert. He said that while curiosity is normal, not many heterosexual men make a habit of viewing gay male porn sites. Habit. He added that if your fiance is a regular consumer of this kind of entertainment, he may have latent homosexual tendencies. I then consulted Dr. Jack Drescher. Dr. Jack, um, Ivan Jackenoff, the Russian doctor. A psychoanalyst. An expert on gender and sexuality. Ivan Jackenoff, get it? Oh. Oh, help me. Who told me that some people fantasize about people of the same sex, but never act on it. According to Dr. Drescher, what is important is that you and your fiance are able to talk about sex honestly and openly. Let's talk about sex, baby. Let's talk about you and me. If you need more assurances, continue this discussion. Salt and pepper. So that you both will know what you're getting into if your betrothal leads to marriage. Uh-oh. He might be getting, uh, butzland after she marries him. Uh, she... Menage a twang. You mean she'll have to, uh, butzland him? Strap on dildo? Uh-huh. I do know. While the once proud GOP scrambles to find a way to oppose Donald Trump for the 2016 presidential nomination, we should reflect, reflect, reflect upon what led to the situation in which it now finds itself. Before President Obama was elected in 2008, Sarah Palin. Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh. Sarah Palin, this is all I hear when she talks and Michelle Bachman, too, and her stupid daughter, Brazen Bristol, loves the pistol. That's what they sound like. Go ahead. Sarah Palin and others started hinting about Obama's legitimacy, claiming he associated with terrorists, was not born in the United States and was not an American like us. Well, Bernie Sanders said his father was born in Poland, but no one came to, uh, to him to check, uh, on his citizenship. Interesting. This led to the so-called birther movement. The birther movement. Encouraged by Trump and endorsed by many in the Tea Party. The birther movement. There was little denouncement of these ideas by the Republican leadership. A phrase still circulating today is take our country back. Back to, back to when? Paleolithic times. Before the Civil War, right? In my opinion, that is code for we don't want a black man in a white house. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. You notice how, uh, how, uh, targeted they are about Ted Cruz's, uh, eligibility, citizenship eligibility. They don't seem to be a gun hoe about finding that out. But Obama, different story. After two failed presidential elections, Republicans want an outsider's voice to follow. While few of the Trump's ideas can become reality without the congressional approval, this matters little to his supporters. Some are legitimately fed up with both parties in Washington. Others form a frightening group of people who apparently find nothing wrong with insulting Mexicans, Muslims, women, or heroes and the disabled. And gay people. And physical, and people's physical attributes. Oh, yeah. I remember that. The Republican Party could have avoided this dilemma by standing up against bigotry, or even better, actually by getting something done in Congress for the people over the last eight years. Yeah. They have no one to blame but themselves. As it says, so wisely in the Bible, whatsoever a man sows, that shall he reap. I thought it was, uh, whatever a man sows, he won't have holes in his socks. Oh, my God. Three children and one adult took part in the Republican presidential debate last Thursday night. Really? The three children engaged in an appalling display of schoolboy insults that only served to demonstrate how unfit they are to hold the nation's highest off. Oh, you're talking about the candidates. In contrast, the one adult, Ohio Governor John Kaseich, I would say he's the adult, yes. Show that he is more qualified to be president than any other three candidates combined. Yeah, the only thing is John Kaseich is still a Republican right-winger because he wants to allocate all the spending to the states. He wants the states to take on the responsibility of spending on its people. You know? Well, I think it's more like Reagan block grants. You just give the states the money and then they do what they want with it. Yeah, I'm sorry about those. They give money for education and then the state does what the hell it wants. I apologize for those loud-mouthed idiots outside talking loudly so everybody can hear the business. They sound like a thai, thai, thai, thai. He refused to lower himself to their level and instead offered thoughtful, common-sense responses. Hopefully, Republican voters will take notice and will turn their support to him. As an independent voter, I am not really attracted much to either party, but I am thinking of declaring as a Republican when the New Jersey primary is held on June 7 so that I can vote for Kaseich. I got news for you, but he won't be in there by then. I don't think Kaseich has the funds to last that long. Possibly that, too. But he ain't got the poll numbers. He ain't got the delegates. He ain't got nothing. Isn't it amazing how Trump, with all his bigotry, is so far ahead of all the others? It makes you think about today's Americans and where they're at. It's pretty frightening. Demagogues usually get a lot of people behind them so they can make more trouble. That means they have all these feelings inside of them and Donald Trump has given them the opportunity to let it all hang out. I hope he will eventually receive the Republican nomination, but if he does not, I think I will write in his name come November. Well, the Republican party has stated they do not want Donald Trump to be nominated. They all totally dead set against him even being in a campaign. I think they're going to try to throw a monkey wrench in there. They're doing what Bernie Sanders, the DNC. And if he doesn't win, perhaps he would consider moving to New Jersey and running for governor. We certainly need one. Well, I'll tell you one thing. If he was... I don't understand why Chris Christie hasn't done it, but I can picture Donald Trump cleaning up the high crime bad areas in New Jersey. I can picture him sending the boys in there to clean house. I just want to add a platudinous slogan about our wonderful country. Oh, he's a flag waiver. How did I guess? I am not interested in making America great again. I am not interested in making America whole again. I am interested in making America sane again. So he's willing to accept sanity, at least sanity, if nothing else. Let me guess. It was some idiot from New Jersey, right? I have no idea. I just turned it over. If Merrick and Jews, their brains that God gave them, they would never vote for a conservative. Anyway, what do you got? One more for the road? How are we doing on time? I have been dating my boyfriend for almost seven months. Yeah. We have had our ups and many, many downs. Ups and downs. Get it? But we are still working on our relationship physically, emotionally. And recently I've become aware that my boyfriend has been watching porn. Oh, what is with these women and their problem with porn? I think you've got to be very insecure to be that jealous. To be jealous of porn. I've heard a woman actually get mad because the man wanted to have a tattoo of a topless mermaid on his arm. Jealous of a drawing of a woman. I mean, they can be extremely insecure. Not like the men. You know, I mean worse. I figured it would improve our sex life. Yes, it will. But it has become a daily thing. Oh, she don't want to have sex every day then? What is she, Protestant? What is she, white? She's probably white. Wasp. They don't usually, they don't like to have too much sex. I have watched porn constantly with him, yet it doesn't really help at all. Well, women are not turned down by visuals. They're turned down by words. You know, that's why they like all those nauseating chick flicks. I prefer the real thing to something that's not even real. The idiot doesn't understand that the man has to be warmed up like an old carburetor. It is not a light switch. A woman, if a woman's not excited, you know, some women are pained in the ass. They need a lot of work to get them ready. A lot of work, you know. But if a woman is not quite there yet, there's always a lubricant. But a man can't do that. Either a man is erected or he's not. You know, same thing with toys. Whenever he downloads pictures, it's always a certain type of white girl. Oh, they're black. I'm not white. Maybe that's what's bothering her. And I get jealous. It's an interracial couple? Or they're both Latino or black? Or they don't really say? They don't say. Okay, so she's not white. We've established that and he watches white chicks in porn. Okay, I can understand her. I can feel her insecurity in that situation. Feel her pain? Yeah, yes. When I confront him about it, he yells at me. Oh, well, no, that's not nice. You should listen to her and console her, you know. I worry that he's doing more than just watching porn. She has legitimate hunches there, you know. And when I ask, he always says that he doesn't have anyone on the side and he wants only me. I feel like my time has been wasted. And I don't like it. I don't like it. Should I continue to date and live with him? I'm tired of this abusive and neglectful relationship. How do I get the truth out of him? Sodium pentathol, is that what they call it? Zetrut serum. Zetrut serum. This is Amy Dickinson's answer. Interesting. Look at what is in front of you. You have a guy who, according to you, prefers pornography to the real thing. Why, he doesn't fool around with her that much? You're in a very young relationship, which has many, many downs. When you confront him about these issues, he yells at you instead of talking about them. What more truth could you possibly need? No. Porn has not enhanced your life. It has deadened it. Well, for him to yell at her, he can't even have a real relationship with you. And he sounds too lazy to look elsewhere. He doesn't have to spend enough quality time with her, perhaps? Your description of this relationship is depressing. You don't mention one single positive thing about it. You should not be living with this person. Don't bother looking for more answers about this behavior. It will only delay the inevitable. Focus on your own choices. And vow to make better ones in the future. She needs to shit or get off the pot, like my grandmother used to say. She needs to, if he's not willing to have a serious discussion with her, then I agree with Amy Dickinson. Or is it Dear Abby? Amy Dickinson. I agree with her only if the woman is being neglected for real. If the woman feels neglected and he doesn't spend quality time with her sufficiently or at all, then I agree with Amy Dickinson's suggestion. Now, there's a possibility that you're hearing only one side of the story and she's playing a big, overly dramatic violin and he spends a lot of time with her and they do have sex, you know? Because there's always two sides of the story, then there's the truth right down the middle. So Amy Dickinson's only hearing her side. So that's it. All right. Thank you people for joining us for this week's progressive discussions. Happy St. Patrick's Day 2016. St. Patrick's Day week. Have a safe one. Have fun. Don't drive drunk. There will be DWIs out, you know, on St. Patrick's Day evening. Just be safe, you know. Don't drive drunk. What can I say? Get a designated driver or something. Or just don't get drunk. You know, do what I do. Gorge yourself with corned beef and crappage. Crappage. And that's about it. All right. We'll see you next time. Well, it's like the middle of Starch already. I mean March. Almost. Yeah. What do they call it on seasonably warm spring, yellow spring? I think the term is yellow spring. That old groundhog was pretty correct. The fat rat was right. The groundhog, early spring. I think he's right. You got it. Bye-bye. This has been a MegaLife 21 production.
