It's gonna be eight eight degrees Fahrenheit Well, we sure need our seven seven lucky bells for the show But this week's progressive discussions Everything you hear politically is part of our series Crapitalism in a conch shell. There's the conch Feel that conch energy Thing Neptune is on hiatus I'm getting his voicemail Don't bother him when he's on vacation. Hey, he's been taken not as many vacations as Donald Trump But he's been taken okay Now I don't want to jump ahead with holidays the next holiday would be st. Patrick's Day and Greetings to General manager or perhaps even the owner patty of the Xavier gifts dot com for the finest in Irish imports I Sent her an email asking her when the When will you be getting a restock of the longer? Blackthorn chilele walking sticks because I'm a tall guy and the ones that they have are for short to average height man or women Women don't usually Have them So you figure well, I'm six foot one. So I need the second or the Longest one which will be which is I believe 37 inches to 39 inches. Those are the two longest ones Because I have a tricky lower back, you know, I have an old lower back lumbar injury That goes away, but sneaks up on me and comes back occasionally You know just like you know some days your joints don't hurt and some days they hurt a lot Anyway Mr Stephen of New Jersey did that one of the gentlemen that had issues with welfare Food stamps, Medicaid, etc. etc social security disability, of course he had many of his issues Fixed thanks to Acquiring the services of the social security attorney Okay, so he was happy to give him a plug bender and bender all right bender and bender He all right bender and bender helps Stephen out. He's very happy paying the fee It was supposed to be 25% but social security refuses to give a lawyer any more than $6,000 You know what you know, it's weird. How do these laws come from you know what? But this is this is my problem You got You got lawyers That Specialized in different things just like you have doctors as specialized in different things and then you have supposed musically Progressive Democrats I'm being sarcastic in Washington That they know what's going on They know what's going on as opposed to and they're supposed to protect you Right now do they when do they get ferocious like James B. Medina? Oh, no They call them my fellow colleagues my Republican and Democrat Colleagues my Republican friends and you know who I heard say that Elizabeth Warren gooseneck herself and Bernie Sanders They they you don't have to make nice nice does Jimmy door of the aggressive progressive make nice nice on his show hell no hell no he he makes He makes sank Uker Iker Look like the Easter Bunny of the young Turks. Oh, no, he he don't pull no punches. He's like George Carlin with profanity God rest his soul. I was watching some some really good George Carlin videos two of them on political correctness Funny as hell, but also true God rest his soul George Carlin and Frank Zappa ahead of their time They they knew what was going on You know political correct correctness is a great stand-up comedy routine because you know It's all based on the fact that you are really afraid of offending someone and therefore you walk on eggshells To make a long story short. Anyway, getting back to Steven All right, he's happy and all of a sudden he finds out his food stamps went from a hundred ninety four Dollars a month down to a microscopic Amoeba Paramecium E. Coli whatever you want to call it sixteen dollars a month. What the hell is a big strapping man like Steven who works out What is he gonna do with sixteen dollars in a grocery store? You tell me and this is what kills me They think that people that live on a fixed income that are getting let's say Seven hundred and sixty dollars a month or a thousand dollars a month. Oh, they think you're living high on a hog Oh, yeah, they want to stop you from buying steaks and no, but they think you could they think you can not only pay for your Cost of living cost of living But they think you can go and buy your groceries with that money You can't even pay rent. You can't even pay rate. You need rent subsidy. You need section eight with that Hold on. I think this pain in the ass wants to come in. Yeah, you see here. I knew this was gonna happen. Come on Any any other devils? Oh, no, no What do you call the cat needs to call the cats the devil's familiars? Yes. All right. Now shut up All right, but it is cold out Anyway, yeah, I mean what the hell are you gonna do? That's like when your uncle gives you two dolls and say Hey, Kate Don't spend it all in one place. Go buy yourself something It's it's a candy bar Yeah, two dollars. I had I had a piece of shit. Oh, he's dead now. Hey Steve I had a piece of shit uncle that said to me, you know, if it wasn't for me because I had my father He disappeared when I was young. So he says if it wasn't for me Tell your mother if it wasn't for me Taking you out with my son or giving you a couple bucks here and there, you know, I don't have to do it I'm I do it to be nice But you know if it wasn't for me like he wanted me to kiss his ass But I was young if somebody said that to me now, you see this fucking USDA grade a Hamhawk he would have no face They would call that my uncle He had a flat nose they will call him flat face they will call him cast iron skillet face and for those that on Facebook that comment about my my statements, I'm not I'm not I'm a very easy person to find up here North East Northeast in New Jersey if you want to duke it out Street fight style come and see me because I have been in no mood this past week No mood for shit, and I'm telling you right now I'm just saying I'm an easy person to find so anyway Poor Stephen has got this piddly What the fuck is Steve me out and by he's got all the food he's got all the food and warmth in the world Yeah, but he needs somebody to open it. Oh, he's like he must be like like like Like a like a member of the Trump family. He wants somebody to do it for him To fucking bad. He's got a poor anyway Yeah, so It's it's ludicrous That people on a fixed income are expected to buy groceries with that money plus utility pay for utilities and So on and so forth and another thing Stephen went to the Walmart pharmacy and the pharmacist says you better call a Medicaid because you know even though you You most likely when you reapply you'll still have something He says the product he says what what's going on one day. I run it through and it pays for your prescriptions It accepts it Including your Horizon affordable care act horizon of New Jersey. It still has a little more time left on all right One day it goes through it's accepted the next day. It's rejected then it accepts it again. Then it's rejected He says Medicaid called the pharmacist and says you must be doing something wrong You don't know how to put it through he says I've been a pharmacist for a long time I know how to run the through The state anything that has to do with the state and yes, the federal government to you all I'm not saying I Don't think a person with that kind of a job Can have that kind of a job and be that stupid. I think it's deliberate I think you are the they are Reverend Bill. They are deliberately one third low life No good evil scum of the earth pieces of shit Because they know that one third of the people who are in the programs. I want to apply Will not because they want don't want to go through this shit No, the words state like like Billy Billy Morrill says they play the numbers game Just social security underhanded with the doing social security found out about that a long time ago and put it into policy You know like if you get a part like if you get a part-time job on the ticket to work and self-sufficiency Program, which reminds me of once you get a job. You're no longer disabled. They understand the law That's the part. They don't tell you in the letter Of course not they you know what they tell you in the letter the law You know what it says in the letter You don't have to worry about losing your your fixed income you check for the maybe for the time you're you know Learning or whatever that's what you get the job That's like that's like the the god the Gotham steel Titanium and ceramic skillet that I bought from the infomercial After the 90 I didn't realize it was a 90 day warranty on a 60 or 90 day warranty Oh, it's guaranteed not to scratch your chip within the warranty amount of time Well, guess what it eventually chipped and scratched Went into the garbage. Ooh, and now I have been using my old-fashioned trusty cast iron rectangular griddle and I Have no idea why I never used it Before for app for everything because it's fantastic. I love it. Oh, I know why I didn't use it for everything Because my sister kept on buying non-stick T-Fall type of skillets, you know women usually don't like cast iron because you know you got to lift it You know, it's got weight to it. It's like picking up a little dumbbell You know heaven forbid you should have to pick up a piece of cast iron, but anyway, it's cool It's rectangular. It fits over two jets. I love it It it the blacker it gets the better it cooks It's incredible. It's it outperforms anything else and you could only you can leave it to other Relatives when you croak. I mean, it's good if you take care of it Only the last it should last for generations Maybe indefinitely if the jabroni you leave it to takes care of it. Yeah, but so that's the deal They are scum of the earth Nobody could be that stupid to hold the job like that and that includes That includes the state Social services like in New Jersey they suck There's a lot of crony capitalism corruption cronyism And and that's that they're via now speaking If all right, and there's the Trump get their way You they're going to block the money for the states and Then the states are gonna have to divide that up Amongst their people and their needs It's center et cetera well expecting the states to take care of the the poor and the low-income people is like conservative saying Go to your local churches for help. You don't need welfare You don't need social services go to your relatives in your local church and ask them for help Can't it doesn't work It won't work Plain and simple it will not work That kind of funding is just not there and They want to leave it up to the states because they they are dead They are obsessed with shrinking government down to nothing And let's accept the part of government that helps people Yeah, the part you see you mr. Trump already raised the military 54 billion dollars because we're not strong enough of course not Well the part that helps people is the part Of government they have a problem The part that helps corporations and the military industrial complex that they're all for that You know, I mean that's or giving themselves a raise every single year Beautiful. Yeah, you're talking about the the the vilest most despicable parts Of humanity the areas of you of human nature You're talking about selfishness Which greed greed is a part of selfishness but it just It goes there there's certain degrees of it Now you could be a middle-class mom and pop store owner and you could be You could be known as a stingy skin flank, you know, it's possible But there's a difference lord, huh slum lord or i'm going to get to that or slum lord or Now you could be a CEO of a huge corporation and you could be You could be an evil wicked piece of shit stingy greedy bastard. You in other words you you can be way beyond the middle-class Main street business owner or whatever, you know So and then you can be part of the oligarchy that you could be part of the top one percent and you can be even more wicked than the corporate ceo that happens to be running You know a famous company a blue chip company. So the different degrees of evil. There are different degrees of uh Of you know greed and whatever and uh That's that it's like the it's like the old monarch or it's like the old monarchies when you had feudalism and everything You know, it's the same mentality It's the same mentality mentality now now donald trump's wife Is it malaria trump malania malania made a ridiculous statement that says The poor They don't need the affordable care act. Just educate them on how to use natural Uh prevention uh with herbs and nutrition something of that nature. They still gotta buy that stuff But how is that going to assure that you're gonna get you're gonna get adequate health coverage when you need it It doesn't guarantee anything Absolutely not All right, I'm let's say. Oh, I I can afford. Yeah, that's right. You got to pay out of pocket for supplements Let's say I got let's say i'm a poor guy and I got supplements Let's let's say i'm lucky enough to buy it Let's say i'm taking the best vitamin c going right And then some somebody shakes my hand after they cough shakes my hand And I get sick from them. Yeah, what am I gonna do? All right, I let's I I I could take a chance And yeah, I could take 10 10 grams of vitamin c and try to blow the cold out or whatever I have What if I have something more severe more serious than just The common cold or or an influenza, okay What if somebody with the the bird flu or the uh one of those exotic flus from the influenza is from asia or something Or, you know, all right, or Ebola or whatever You still you got to go to the doctor you got you have to get medical attention What if somebody gets an eye infection they have to get medical attention broken bone She doesn't see the long she doesn't see The overall picture because it's not her problem You see that they they have theirs and they don't care if you have nothing And they know that they can dip into their money pot And pay for anything they need it. It's very easy when you have it Yes to to And that's the capitalist system system. Yes, sir. This is all you gotta have before you can get The the the whole concept of the whole Concept of capitalism where you have to pay out of pocket for every fucking thing imaginable Really really sucks unless you're part of the rich And and you're and you're not a nice person Then capitalism is great or you yeah, yeah, but if you're middle class or poor Capitalism never worked and never will work um And another thing I have the salute about speaking of uh democratic socialism. I have the salute Scandinavia northern europe including iceland Which was a colony of the danmark, I believe the migraines. Yes They not only do they take care of their people quite well But they also take care of their, uh Their high high power criminals their Their corruption quite well too because they throw your ass in prison Yeah, some people from the banks after the financial meltdown went to jail Yeah, in iceland who won wall street went to prison. No, I'm not You know, they'll yeah, well justice is served in scandinavia. Yeah, you know, uh, uh, Well, when when hillary clinton said during the debate to bernie sand is well, we're not sweden I was waiting for bernie to make a comeback which he didn't do Yes, hillary. I know we're definitely not sweden sweden cares about his people That would have been the perfect comeback. He didn't do it because he's got to be nice to his democratic colleagues See, this is the part of this is the part of ultra liberalism The other trouble is they got to be nice to their Republic and colleagues. That's even worse. Uh-huh This is the problem with politically correct. Ultra liberalism or neo. They like to say neo now Neo liberalism is that They're really afraid to offend somebody, you know, you're like, you know, they're please be my friend What was that old the old stupid rock song from the 70s? Can't we be friends? Can't we? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Why can't we Fuck that. Where do we? Hey You got to break a few aches to make it on what a man's got to do what a man's got to do When judge judy Or any of those judges on tv when that mallet comes down the decision is made whether you'll like them love them hate them You know have a thing for them. It doesn't matter. You got to make a decision. Boom the gavel comes down That's what this reminds me of too. It's like it's like my gavel But that's true. You've got to make a decision And the decision is kind of like old man Leonard Neemoy God rest his soul the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one however big problem is that Our government works uncompromised Why or it doesn't work at all? What about what about like in the european And an asian parliament's when they kick the shit out of each other. Yeah, but Oh, I love seeing that the the party That has the most people that They rule And then to absolutely rule They need a coalition with some other parties And that's how it's not same thing here. In other words, if the republicans own the house And they own the senate You're not going to get anything done without their help. So ultimately Ultimately you could you could rumble and get into all the boxing matches you want The voting is the voting ultimately the votes Will take place and whoever's out voted That's it Did you know the next election now? Did you know that not only Not only the election year of november for uh november 2014, but the election year of november uh 2016 You know how many people did not vote at all in both in both A lot nobody learned their lesson from To that at november 2014 An enormous amount of you despicable Americans did not vote The last counting I heard Was that trump got 60 millions votes and Hillary Not 62.8. Well, I saw the pie chart. Oh, you missed the percentage Of people that didn't either that had apathy again voter apathy. So that combined is 163.8 million people But there are hell of a lot more people registered than that So they didn't vote they didn't bother to vote but they sure looked to go on social media and show everyone how brilliant they are with their comments in fact they had some Um, they interviewed some people that were at the trump rallies against him And occasionally they would ask one that well, did you vote for Anybody they said no, I didn't vote If you don't listen an old jewish man told me James James if you don't vote if you if you don't vote you have no right to complain I mean not me per se. He was usually he was talking to another person You have no right to complain and he was absolutely right. Absolutely. That's right now. Yeah speaking to slum lord. I want to thank uh Mr. Um Paul anthony amantia accomplished, uh guitarist and tenants rights activists who has organizations web pages about Uh, tenant the tenant versus landlord issues where where you have a scumbag a piece of shit Uh, uh slum lord mentality landlord and you have issues. Yes. Yes. There are laws There are laws that protect tenants, but the big but is Mr. Paul um, anthony Amantia who did a show with me the last night live on youtube live stream, too He um like he explained He's a yankee boy living in the jacksonville southern cracker northern florida jacksonville florida area where the The wealthy landlord Has a lot of connections knows everybody and nobody did a damn thing to help Paul anthony amantia and his and his girlfriend had to live In an apartment that was extremely unsafe for any tenant to live in Whether it be the electrical wiring whether it be leaky leaky whatever leaky holes in a wall leaky roof cockroaches It was it was it had violations after violation after after violations It so and guess what the the the the legal system The judicial system in jacksonville florida did nothing because the man Is well connected and very well known And you know And it's and they called him a yankee boy Yankee boy. So oh, so I kind of figured it's you know, it's it's uh northern florida Well, they're probably wpix channel 11 here on tv help me howard help me howard and Help me monica. Oh, he came up. He's from bra. He's from the bronx. Paul. He says they wouldn't that would never fly in new york city you kidding me that would they wouldn't even they Action would have would have been taken so quickly Justice would have would have been But the trouble is you have to get people like that to go on your side to help you sometimes When you shouldn't have to do that and remember arnold ds. He's another good Hey, help me howard will be banging on your door. Say hey, why haven't you done this that and the other thing? How come you're not answering the door? I'm telling you but not just that a great mayor like, um build the blasio I mean I mean That shit don't fly in in in yankee territory In in major cities up north Especially new york city. Are you kidding me? That uh issues with slum lords. I mean there are slum lords in new york city Don't get me wrong. You know donald trump's father was one of them. Yeah, you know, but but uh What they did was they turned the blind eye to the law And the law states that if you're a tenant Uh, and you're expected to pay rent You you have to live in a safe clean decent, uh Home there are certain things that they must be given that's correct, right now This guy wanted to get paid rent and he didn't want to provide a safe haven For paul anthony, uh, manthia and his girlfriend He didn't want to provide that He he he wanted his cake and eat it He was a rich piece of shit Oh, they don't like money going out Sounds like they don't like it sounds like he sounds like a typical corporate american ceo They don't like money going out. He sounds like uh, like maybe uh, uh, mitch mcconnell or paul ryan or any of those southern Any of those southern conservatives who like to stuff their pocket That but don't want to help anybody, uh, but their own kind and of course in the long run None of that none of those people understand That when you help the down person downtrodden. Yeah the down person you are helping the economy Well, there's more spending on there you go And with more spending there's more investment in people Creating businesses. Well, yeah, you have to get a little bitter that scratch man scratch. Yeah You have to think long you have to have the ability to think long term Exactly and you have to have the well first you have to have the the ability to think period Then you think you look at the overall picture Then you think long term which conservatives don't do but I just wanted to say thank you and greetings to uh Tennis rights activist paul anthony manthia and and and greetings to his girlfriend too to both these and uh, thank you for the show um Last night and uh, it's yes. It is on youtube and yes Uh names were definitely mentioned And attorneys are are starting to contact Paul anthony manthia But the you know, you Is it let me ask you a question is the term kangaroo core in the dictionary It should be now a kangaroo core is is is a is an old wild west Term for a rig system, right?

Well anybody with the name of dweezel come on You're not doing him any favors All right, you know what let us seek our teeth into these readings because we were very long winded Why can't we be friends? Why can't we be friends? Let me see what I got here Uh, let's see if I have enough it is called it in a witch's titty outside. Yes, it is. Okay Two members of congress with the power Under a 1924 law to demand copies Of president donald trump's tax returns from the treasury department Say they won't do that Because it would abuse their authority and endanger citizen privacy In other words, they cut him a break didn't they It said they had the power to do it the rejection came in a joint letter from senator oren hatch Republican of utah. Was he a chicken farmer at one time oren hatch hatch Hold up a second These are the levity bells chairman of the senate finance committee and representative kevin brady of texas chairman of the house ways and means committee the two republicans scum Were responsible Oh responding to a request Sent Wednesday by democratic representative bill pascral of new jersey. Hey bill pascral these are ways are Is he a senator or congressman congress congressman of our district bill pascral Senators dab debbie stabinow of michigan and ron wyden of oregon stabinow and other members of the finance committee yikes The proposed use of the committee's statutory authority Sets forth a dangerous precedent that could allow congress to Improperly access the tax returns of any american Regardless of whether or not the individual authorized their disclosures hatch and brady wrote in the letter Trump is the least private citizen in our country pascral said thursday And hatch and brady are dead wrong Pascral a member of the ways and means committee said he approached brady In early february about obtaining ty trump's tax returns He said he wanted to find out if the president's failure To completely divest himself from his business empire Leaves him with conflicts of interest Including potential violations of the clause in the constitution That prohibits federal officials from receiving gifts or other emoluments Or things of value from foreign governments. Oh, you mean I'm getting getting your palms greased. That's correct. The bribe taking the bribe brady rejected pascral's request privately Then publicly in the committee hearing, you know, I never heard bill pascral give a speech In in washington. I've met him. I've chatted with him in a pub In the sport pub 46 and clipped in new jersey, but I've never seen him in action On monday pascral used a procedure known as A privileged resolution To try to force the issue on the house floor And was voted down in a largely party-line vote Two republicans have simply voted present Rather than know On that resolution or joining pascral In a letter that he said he will send thursday to hatch It has been signed by 162 house members 1924 law Section 6103 Of the internal revenue code Allows the chairman of the finance committee ways and means committee And joint committee on taxation Made up of members of finance and ways and means to request a financial tax information That can be reviewed by the committees in private The committees then could vote to make the information available to the full congress And making it public These authorities have typically only been used To investigate specific allegations Of misconduct by federal officials And as necessary for the committees to carry out their legislative responsibilities And conduct oversight of the executive branch To date We have not seen or received Any specific allegations Of tax related misconduct By federal officials or abuses Of taxpayer rights that would lead us to invoke Ascral Responding Respectfully The chairman in this letter Are dead wrong Using this authority in this manner Is not unprecedented We did it in 1974 With president nixon's tax returns They further say There have been no allegations Of tax misconduct Against trump But we know The irs find trump And the trump foundation For violating Self-dealing rules So the republicans protected, okay? Yeah, kangaroo court Kangaroo court Crony-crapitalism Rig system continues Because they got the votes They have the votes And the democrats can jump up and down screaming yell all they want But unless you have the votes That's what I mean I just want to remind everyone that Not next year, but I think the year after Many, many Congressional and senatorial seats Are supposedly up for reelection Now, what does that mean? Does that mean that That Does that mean that That all of the inbred Redneck Right wing Evangelical pieces of shit will somehow See the light and grow brain cells and And and and not and elect the right people Even though they're living in squalor Squalor Which they are living in squalor Like what is that wolf county, kentucky and enjoying the obama care But then the I believe it's the x-cover The x-cover is Saying that obama care does not work you never work in not kentucky.

They're crossing everybody adults Kids that are in their their mid 20s adult people I don't mind if it's a senior citizen or or a disabled person But for god's sake able-bodied adult people need a crossing guard and I gotta stop my car That's probably the part that bothers I gotta stop my car A thousand times when some moron Should know perfectly well how to cross the street during during uh when school school was season All right, go ahead Change of pace tomato paste Three decades after being all but wiped out Of all the old Population continues to grow in New Jersey and it come back With a record 172 couples And 216 chicks Spotted last year, you know what I gotta salute the american ball I don't know how I don't know how such a beautiful Bird and such a symbolic bird was allowed to become In endangered I really don't know. I don't understand this. It's probably due to pollution. I really don't know But it used to be in danger You know alligators used to be in danger now there's way too many Hey, the swamp people will take care of that Oh, that oh that guy's so funny. I love the the father, you know, he's got that Cajun accent. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, and you know what? Gators are frigging huge as hell with the full problem over a thousand pounds And and and I think their bike was measured at over 25,000. Uh, I'm sorry. No 2,500 pounds per square inch on the bike 2,500 Pounds per square inch The news Was celebrated by birders and state Environmental officials about the Autobahn society. I'm sorry who say The resurgence of bald eagles in this significant bellwether Of the garden state's recovering environment an eagle's nest Was even found recently in Paterson Making it the most urban area of new jersey For a pair of eagles to settle in Don Torino President of the Bergen County Autobahn design It's a success story Beyond belief This did not happen overnight It was because people fought for this decades ago After almost being wiped out by the pesticide Dig the tee Aha, I know why The American bald eagle has experienced a resurgence In new jersey and the rest of the name From a single nesting pair In the garden state in 1982 The numbers increased to 59 Eagle pairs 10 years ago By 2011 there were 113 In 2015 there were 161 Most of the 11 new pairs discovered last year by state workers Partnering with a non-profit group were in southern New Jersey Eagles have made homes everywhere from the palisades To the Oradell Reservoir To the Highlands of Monarchy What amazes me is how all those wild parrots Survived and they didn't migrate south I'm talking about parrots that didn't like their owners They were probably assholes or neglective And then they flew to Coop Like the Bernie Bird did They were even primers Anyway, they flew to Coop and they all found each other and they survived the winter Now my hunch is that there is heat coming out of those transformers Up on telephone poles Absolutely And they huddled together Because birds amazingly are warm-blooded even though they hatch from eggs They huddled huddled together in between their body heat and the transformers But then there remains a question What do they eat? About 50 Eagles were spotted last month around a Ridgefield Park nest Next to Overpeck Creek Said Gil Hawkins of Leonia Who has led an effort to restore Nearby dumping grounds to a nature preserve That nest belongs to Al and Alice A pair of eagles that have become an attraction For the for birders across the region Well, I'm very happy When any endangered animal of beauty Makes a comeback.

How much Is an old dried out piece of mold worth? Well, if it's an old dried out piece of mold on some brie cheese, which I happen to love I will eat it apparently more than 14600 dollars If it was created by the doctor who discovered penicillin There you go They nearly 90 year old swatch Of mold as a rather extraordinary history It came from the laboratory of dr. Alexander Fleming That's right whose revolutionary discovery brought the world its first antibiotic Unfortunately, he's the core fuffle out of that disgusting yellow Liquid from his lungs, but you know Fleming alexander Fleming with equal sputum credited with saving millions of lives worldwide yukis The patchy bit of mold from his nieces collection Was auctioned wednesday in london for 14,617 dollars The buyer was not identified The mold It's preserved in a round glass case And features an inscription by Fleming on the back You know bread mold is I hear the same mold that's used to make a a a tofu A soybean product from um indonesia Called tempeh. I think it's indonesian and malaysia It is a fermented um a soybean product That they just let it get moldy That that's the same kind of mold Fleming described it As the mold that first made penicillin that however may be a stretch The scottish born doctor Likely made at least dozens of such mold momentos Derived from his original sample of the fungus Fleming sent these samples out to dignitaries and to people in the scientific world Almost as a kind of holy relic He noted Dr. Matthew Haley did That other bits of mold were given to pope pious the a12 Winston Churchill and marlena Dietrich pope pious pious. Yeah, okay, perhaps in a discoverer Excuse me, perhaps in an effort To cement Fleming's legacy as the discoverer Of penicillin in 1928 Before the discovery infections like pneumonia rheumatic fever were near-death sentences When it first became available penicillin was called a miracle drug Said kevin brown archivist at the alexander fleming laboratory museum Its discovery began a new lifesaving era in medicine In some ways the discovery was accidental Fleming found mold Growing in an experiment When he returned to his lab after a stay at his country house One petri dish Was full of bacteria except For an area where mold was growing Wow He later realized the mold A rare strain of penicillin was killing The bacteria around it Fleming noticed something that other people would have missed Saw the potential of penicillin To treat patients Scientists at oxford university Further developed penicillin And production was ramped up so That enough of the antibiotic would be available for the allied invasion on d-day in 1944 Fleming and oxford scientists earnest boris chain and Howard Walter Flory Were awarded the Nobel peace prize In medicine in 1945 Brown noted that not everybody was thrilled To receive the preserved mold medallions And that some got multiple copies Including queen elizabeth's husband brince filip every time he met fleming He got another one of these things Brown said I know I know uh Rapp wise in his kumadin and I love to shove it down the throats of some people. I know The blood thinner kumadin, right? Yes kumadin I guess it would have to be a certain amount Oh, by the way the the little the little uh springtime ants Do not care apparently of the uh The plunge in temperature because they're starting to make their appearances Oh, no not already the little tiny tiny black The black ants But you were right the uh The the ant bait Does not work on cardboard It's got to be on that's so clear elastic Right, right You know the the ant bait that they they take back to the queen The colony and then they all get killed is it? Killed is it yeah president trump Mosted on tuesday night About military cost savings And corporate job expansion. Oh boy that actually took root under his predecessor And gave a one-sided account of the costs and benefits to the economy From immigration Got to keep the boring the upside you got to keep the fucking corporate jobs in the united states Otherwise, they don't mean anything to the united states to americans. It's meaningless Just like with immigrants from mexico. Why are you blaming the poor? Mexicans trying to feed their their family to take care of their kids and survive Go after the american companies that are hiring illegal immigrants So they get cheap labor. Oh, no, they don't go after them I just had to say that Well, here are a few of The trouble Shall we say lies? Oh, there are plenty of them or whatever According to the national academy of science Our current immigration system Costs america's taxpayers Many billions of dollars a year. That's what trump said the fact That's not exactly what that report says It says immigrants contribute To government finances By paying taxes And add expenditures by consuming public service The report found that while First generation immigrants Are more expensive to governments from their native born counterparts Primarily at the state and local level immigrants children Are among the strongest economic and fiscal contributors In the population the report found that the long run fiscal impact of immigrants And their children Would probably be seen as more positive if their role In sustaining labor force growth And contributing to innovation And entrepreneurial activity Were taken into account Trump we say We have saved taxpayers Hundreds of millions of dollars By bringing down the price Of the f-35 Jet fighter There's there's there's really plenty of wasteful blow in the military Just spending more money than he thinks if he if he sincerely Wanted to cut out the waste more money than he can ever imagine He will say The cost savings he persists in bragging about Were secured in full Or large part before he became president The head of the air force program announced Significant price reductions In the contract for the Lockheed F-35 fighter Yet December the 19th I remember watching the documentary about the Lockheed versus Boeing for the government contract They were competing They wanted they wanted a more um They wanted a a lower cost fixed wing Aircraft and it was Boeing versus Lockheed and Lockheed one The government contract so I guess maybe this is the You think this might be the fiasco plane? That was a problem. Yes, that way. Yes. This is that plane fixed wing. Yeah, but the cost reductions were in Before he became president. Yeah, he became president on January 20 The costs for reductions were in by December 19, so he took the credit But it wasn't him who did it Oh, he's such a you know, he just lines up those comedians with material He is he is an ego beyond ego After trump had tweeted Of course about the cost But weeks before he met the company ceo about it, of course he tweeted Pentagon managers took action And even before the election to save money On the contract Richard albalafia An analyst with the aerospace consulting firm teal group said There is no evidence Of any additional cost savings As a result of trump's actions We also said Since my election Ford Fiat chrysler General motors Sprint Software bank Lockheed Intel Walmart and many others have announced They will invest billions of dollars In the united states And we'll create tens of thousands of new american jobs It's unlikely trump is the sole Or even primary reason For the expected hiring he cites Many of the announcements reflect corporate decisions That predate his election In the case of intel Construction of the chandler Arizona factory referred to by trump Actually began during garap obama's presence The project was delayed by Insufficient demand for intel's high-powered computer chips But the company now expects to finish the factory Within four years because it anticipates business growth or importance Even as some companies create jobs others are laying off workers This measure of whether or more jobs are actually being created Is the monthly employment report issued by The labor department which nets out those gains and loss Of saying his budget plan Will offer one of the largest increases in national defense spending In american history Three times in recent years Congress raised defense budgets By larger percentages Than 54 billion or 10 percent The increase that trump imposed The base defense budget grew By 41 billion Or 14.3 percent In 2002 By 37 billion or 11.3 percent in 2003 And by 47 billion or 10.9 percent in 2008 Trump said We will provide massive tax relief For the middle planet I'm going to have to speak so softly because it's noisy What you just said I heard you but Because of That that that I barely heard you actually Microphone is here Well, I hope they got it and it turns out like you say Well, it would never have any trouble in the past Yeah, it's true So, uh Getting back where you ended off Well, you probably didn't get it Trump Has provided little detail on how this would happen Independent analysis of his campaigns tax proposals Found the most Of the benefits would flow to the Wealthiest of them Of course Wealthy est Of families The richest one percent would see an average tax cut of nearly two Hundred and Fifteen thousand dollars Amen They do what they do because they can Because no one is held accountable by we the people While the middle one fifth of the cut of just One thousand and ten dollars Trump Say Ninety four million Americans are out of the labor force There's also a percentage That have just simply Given up or they're living in tents somewhere's or In other words, there's the government projection of what the unemployed is And then there's the real amount Of how many people that are destitute Homeless. Yes. Yes. Yes The homeless they're still human beings. They should they're still part of the uh Of those that are that are unemployed fact That's true. Yeah, but For the vast majority of them, it's because they choose to be Okay, we've got so many we've got so much opportunity in the united states now, sure Oh, yeah, the economy's great. The job market is great That 94 million figure includes everyone age 16 and older who doesn't have a job isn't looking for one So it includes retirees Well that includes uh newborn babies, right? Parents who are staying home to raise children. You're a mocher And high school And college students. You're still in the womb. Oh, no, we'll take care of you. We care about you a lot Oh The doctor slapped you on the ass. You're born already. Oh, no, you're a freeloader. You're a mocher Get out of here. Get out of here. You little You little uh newborn bum Get a jab get a jab There you go It's sad, but this is how republicans think conservatives, you know Yeah, yeah, yeah Melania take says take vitamin zone to don't worry about affordable care act take vitamins Oh, gosh, maybe they own some sort of uh interest in a vitamin company Maybe that's why donald trump's hair is orange Maybe there's an awful lot of beta carotene going into that man Of all the laughable statements donald trump makes One of the most ridiculous is He inherited a mess He inherited a mess What about what what brock obama inherited? When president obama took over This country was in a dire situation We were losing thousands of jobs monthly And unemployment was at 10 or higher and the deficit was uh astronomical Banks Investment organizations you got to be careful now because when trump talks about the the debt He talks about the uh, what is it up to 20 trillion now? The national debt he doesn't talk about the deficit Which obama brought down by two-thirds Well, nobody from the republican party is going to give Barack obama credit for any damn thing. No, of course not but But uh, you know the the 20 trillion dollars I mean, who do we owe that to? You know It's not obama's fault for that. That's that's the fault of the republicans who will not pay For certain things that come into the budget, right? Like for for instance, when they were fighting years ago uh over Not not extending our credit and blah blah blah blah Well, what happens was every year Whether you do something Let's just take uh, let's say for instance. Let's take snap food stamps. Okay Every year whether you do something or don't do something the price of that program is going to rise Mm-hmm by a percentage point two or three, whatever If you don't pay that That year You're gonna get the three percent next year. You don't pay it you get another three percent now you're down six percent That's what they do They don't pay For programs that they have vote for Regarding journalists are not the enemy of the people Today it seems we get as much poor journalism as good journalism Even on the front page As an example the column sites russian and french murderers A past president who went rogue With a plumber's unit designed to stop leaks And a communist chinese leader all of whom did terrible things Also our current president is suggested As being on the same level as those bad hombres By not mentioning one act he did to harm us This is an inaccurate parallel If journalists and the media Are called out For factual reasons then they need to take real stock of themselves The press is not voted in The president is And his credentials are reviewed by the citizenry every four years There's a reason approval ratings of the media are low It would be nobler for the author To write an article titled On by his journalists are not the enemy of the people Rather than stretching a comparison to include some of the worst people in history And regarding trump Blast Unnamed sources The headline soft pedals the story that follows The hypocrisy Of the trump white house will Well reported in the story itself calls for a headline such as White house demands Media rely on officials Anomalous statements This administration Ignores its own Contradictory statements Repeats falsehoods Even when confronted with contrary evidence And appears to believe Okay, it has no obligation to speak truthful And to the public Freedom of the press Is essential In a democracy The record Our local newspaper Needs to use every headline To emphasize trump's threats To freeze speed It's about that time We've got like uh one more to the road at least one more to the road Yeah, because all the trump readings are Are uh both equally humorous and equally upsetting And they they're really You know they're very they're kind of redundant because There's nothing positive about having republicans controlled In the country Unless you're stingy greedy and rich I am a 20-year-old woman Well, I mean yeah, okay Who has been in a two-year relationship with a guy Who has been my good friend for seven years Last summer We were apart for three months When I moved across the country for an internship Things were rough I was very lonely And I had a drunken one-knife stand Oh, it's a known fact that alcohol is the best aphrodisiac for a woman Uh even more so than kissing her up and down her neck I didn't care about the person I was just lonely No, you were drunk I feel so guilty You were you were in lust momentarily I never told my boyfriend about my infidelity If I didn't tell him He would know slightly and never find out They're they're monogamous I guess It's not infidelity unless you're you're monogamous They're not married Yeah, well, it's yeah You can't call it infidelity if uh You know some people that are dating Actually Delusionally act like they're married couple their married couple was I know it's a couple Females like that, you know, they they think they're always my guy.
