 Welcome to Progressive Discussions. Progressive Warriors Unite. Hold on, let me get my lucky black thorn chilele. Progressive Warriors Unite. And we're here. It's raining out. The weather is really crazy. It's insane. Climate change. We get mild days. We get normal days. We get warm days and then it goes out to freezing again. And it's going to do that soon here in Northeastern New Jersey. Isn't that true? Yeah. I think tonight is going to be cold. I don't know. I don't know how to dress. I don't know when I should. You know, all I'm doing is opening and closing windows, putting the fan up, taking the fan down, put my spring jacket on, put my vest on, put my winter coat on back to the spring jacket back. It's crazy, man. Anyway, as you saw in the introduction, I'm James P. Madonna and I'm here with my co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletter Sensor in 1977. That was the correct year, right? Not Sunset Strip. That was an old show. Reverend Dr. William J. Isman, how are you feeling this week? Sir, I need a nap. So do I with this rain, man. It's just like it's a perfect gray day, man. All you need is a wood burning stove or fireplace and some good food, some high quality cheese, whole wheat crackers, expensive salami or prosciutto, red wine, and you will be out like a light. Anyway, now I want to say greetings to all my Facebook group administrators, every one of them collectively. And we got a whole bunch of them. I got McVon Raven, Sosh Boyle, Anthony Elora. I got a heap in helping of really good administrators. Mickey Lethem, German lady from Florida is our new food and drink group called Everything is Food. She's in charge of the craft beer and liquor section of the group. I congratulate and welcome Mickey Lethem as the new administrator of Everything is Food. I want to say greetings to organic farmer extraordinaire, fitness and nutritional consultant, Mr. Stefan R. Santangelo. He's been in the fitness industry for a long time. A lot of experience there. Let's see. And my near dear friend in Osaka, Japan, Miho. You know, I should really write down all my administrators. I got five groups over there. It's very difficult, juggling them all and remembering everybody. But those are the primary ones really. I like to give a shout out to the state of Wisconsin. He's not an administrator, but he's a friend. And he's an active participant on our political Facebook group called Uncensored Hard-Hitting Truth. Mr. Glenn Bean. Hello, Glenn Bean. And that's about it. Paul Leaf, of course, is a very important, fantastic administrator on that political group. Greetings, Paul Leaf. All right. Now, I don't have any chiseless hall of shame products to bash. I think last week, I did the food industry with that canned soup that was last Saturday, right? I don't have anything to hammer this week. I'm sure some may come up later on. There's always companies to bash with American capitalism. Always. Always. It seems like underhandedness is the norm now, being that the Republicans are in charge of the House and the Senate. It's like, what was dastardly in the past is now the norm today. It's really sad. The amoral, the amorality of the American society. Hey, what's that? I'm not really totally familiar with all the details because I didn't bother to read the article because I try not to pay attention to ridiculous stupid things, in this case, politics. But what's the deal with that ridiculous statement that Hillary made about what is it? New York City criminals running guns, getting guns from Vermont? She made some ridiculous statement about guns in Vermont connected to the New York primary. The only thing I know about that is that she was on Bernie Sanders because Bernie Sanders doesn't want to hold a gun company liable if somebody uses their gun and kill somebody. Would you hold the Hankels cutlery company that makes kitchen knives responsible if somebody murdered their wife with a chef's knife? Of course not. But she's looking for things to attack right now. She's having difficulties and she needs to disqualify Bernie Sanders. She feels that a whole truckload of nitpicks, of nitpicky little nonsense, might chip away at Bernie Sanders like a woodpecker on a tree because she doesn't have anything substantial in her arsenal. Even Bubba Boy, Bill Clinton the other day, somebody was nagging about the 1994 crime bill that he signed and then that's why we got all these people in prison. So he was trying to defend, I mean that bill put away people for small things like marijuana and stuff like that, blacks and Hispanics and etc over whites. But he was defending it. But that's why America today has more people in prison than any other country on a face of the planet. I believe it's 2.2 million people. Yeah and is it or is it or is it not true that most of these privatized prisons for profit happen to be in the South? Yeah because they make money on the prisoner. You know somebody got someone, a judge, who's going to prison. He's going to prison for 28 years. Because selling humans to a privatized prison is called human trafficking which is a felony. You know and I'm glad to see that there are some judges that are not above the law. You wouldn't think they would find one but this one's going to prison. And you know of course this whole thing is like despicable. You know a human be a whole concept of human trafficking and and and female children being kidnapped and and sold to the sex trafficking you know whether pedophile sex trafficking in a whole. But you know what there's a lot of your biggest perverts are not the left-wing progressive uh progressives and hipsters. Oh no your biggest perverts are the elitists and many of them are are right-wing. I think all of them are right-wing. You know all the all this the the cults they belong to and the and the perverted sexual practices that they they are involved in in secrecy. Those are your biggest perverts. The other day I was I had the misfortune of hearing the nails on the chalkboard which is Sarah Palin speaking and she was challenging the concept of too big to fail of and too big to fail too big to jail too big for you know uh I guess she was referring to corporate bailouts and she wasn't huh no she wasn't she was referring to the government. No I was I was just going to say she was bashing of course corporations can do no wrong to a republic and she was bashing government government is the enemy big government and this is what a lot of libertarians do too they bash everything is the fault of government uh your freedom the less freedom uh they feel that the more freedom a corporation has the more successful it will be and then if for some stupid a pea brain reason they feel that it will trickle down and create jobs which it does not they're good at outsourcing your job though so well they're so free today that they can high tax money overseas and etc etc yeah lie about their companies and their executives and all this stuff hey they got all the freedom where's ours I was I was talking to the pizza delivery man yesterday and uh he's he's all excited and enthusiastic about Donald Trump he likes he likes his what's coming out of his mouth so I says uh oh he's gonna get things done that guy you're kidding me you're gonna win win win win you're gonna get he's a winner he's a winner he's a winner he's a winner but he's the type of guy that gets things done well I told him we were talking about taxes I says you know uh when they when they cut taxes they're not talking about you the middle-class guy working two jobs no you have to make it up you're being strangled he says yes you're right I am being strangled but don't blame you don't like Bernie Sanders don't don't blame the the the progressives or the democrats for your tax burden blame Ronald Reagan over 30 years ago you're paying taxes because the republicans you're being strangled when they when the republicans talk about tax cuts they're talking about tax cuts for the rich somebody has to make it up oh oh oh he didn't really give me an answer you know when a person is under a spell who like the the poor people living in shacks the vote are under a spell that's not the the carpet munching uh a feminist the feminazis that are in hillary's on hillary spell under hillary's spell they have these people seem to have blinders on like a client's there yes yes yes they cannot analyze a subject think independently critically on their own analyze the subject and see way out the pros and cons and see the truth of it and make a decision based on that they once they're they're sold this guy is just seems to be sold on donald trump's personality like the people who reelected chris christie you know they loved his his spunk you know and oh he speaks his mind he's outspoken her so that automatically they're under their spell the hype they're caught up by the hype indeed you know like uh like my friend uh iron man viny blakes says i i i buy i have to i have to eat quaker oatmeal like a why viny viny there are many many many store brands that are exactly the same it says old-fashioned rolls he says well i like that man's face i trust his face that old guy on the box mr quaker he's not even in real like uh or the pizza was it mama celeste or uh the kfc hey was was uncle the quinoa the quinoa quinoa sand is what is uncle ben's rice is that guy real no no no no no no no no Betty crocker none of that's crap betris foods nothing so they they get a nice name that they know during because of advertising tests and etc they know that people respond to it that's all you know uh uh uh uh uh you know like uh quaker guy but yeah like they put a face that makes people feel good and fuzzy all over and comfortable and um it's like a politician i guess it's like a politician um you know when GW bush went to the uh 911 site he was very casually dressed with like with the i want to do the jacket we gotta get them to our people who knocked those buildings down yeah something like that so you know never got him he you know by being casual obama got him you know or or by wearing a big bow tie like orville red and blocker you get a lot of a common folk liking you they're sucked in bamboozles bamboozle anyway speaking of serpents a little limitation when the looney when the cuckoo bird talks that's pretty much what i hear all right let us sink our teeth into these readings because we're way behind schedule everything we speak about politically is part of our series capitalism in a conch shell there's the conch feel that conch energy can you dig it and most importantly i want to introduce the bernie bird you see that blue bird above mr anonymous here blue bird you see that blue bird up there i hope you can see him that's our bernie bird bernie sand is remember the bernie bird is the word just in time before the racket interrupts all right go ahead a bull that escaped from a slaughterhouse a bull holding area and ran through queens new york has been captured so bad it didn't run down um past the merrill lynch uh main office right a bad commercial and taken to greener pastors by john stewart he was rescued he was rescued and uh to spend the rest of his life alive and on slaughtered in other words the officials tell the new york times that the black and white angus was spotted friday the bull was corralled at york college where students snapped the pictures and took video how do you calm down a bull on a rampage that's what i like to know the bull was later taken to an animal shelter by the former daily show comedian and his wife that's nice of them who are animal advocates yeah stewart has a 45 acre animal sanctuary in bonn with the county bonn with county new jersey down down going towards the jersey shore that's that's very nice of them i know um the horror movie uh actress linda blair is very much involved with animal rights and animal rescuing you know you it's good to see people of celebrity status to have a heart you know like that um what the hell is his name i don't want to get i don't want to name the wrong actor but uh african-american very very famous actor purchased many many acres of land as a bee sanctuary so the bees can do their thing without monsanto's round up to kill me nice right but then again monsanto's round up is pretty much banned i think in uh in europe yeah so the bees are are safe over there we're reading it we're reading it yeah round up is killing us yes and and chemtrails and and everything all the other toxins uh uh uh uh even even even drinking bottle drinking water is spiked uh seriously you know well hey they want to depopulate the the all the po-folk in a lower middle class you know anyway continue mississippi governor's signed a law on tuesday that allows religious groups and some private businesses to refuse service to gay couples that's true based on religious beliefs it's funny how they call that religious freedom so it's their freedom to discriminate and force their views on other people that's basically what it is well if you read uh the the 13th part of how to defeat a conservative in the new newsletter which is out right now you will see that when the puritans when the pilgrims and all the other uh except the four quakers and the friends you have the men and i stood up they all persecuted each other and whoever got the power persecuted the other so they left the old world they left europe to flee because of perfect persecution to flee let me do my dramatic thing with the chilele to flee persecution to come to the new world for a a a much better life happier life and it ended up that they persecuted just like the persecutors that caused them to leave europe right they started becoming like the persecutors right so maybe we have a human nature problem yeah a power problem whoever gets on time it's always going to step on somebody on the bar governor phil bryant signed house bill 1523 despite opposition from gay rights groups and some businesses who say it enables discrimination some conservative and religious groups support the bill the measures stated intention is to protect those who believe that marriage should be between one man and one woman that sexual relations should only take place inside such marriages and that male and female genders are unchanging i can't uh gain lesbian couples uh just have a civil ceremony in in that state in sisyphus why can't they just get you know why it doesn't have to be clergy why can't these governors keep the goddamn mouth shut you know why make the poor persecuted group do something else you know i got an idea if all if any religion if any organized religion church what have you be it evangelical it doesn't matter who they are if they want to stick their nose into politics tax them like everybody else pay taxes we don't do that we allow them not but then but then but isn't it 501 3c or something isn't it against the constitution to mix church and state yes but they don't believe that what what is so they want to make they want to override the the the supreme law i guess they did it in the second amendment that how do you hold how do you hold people accountable uh you can't why not because they are having the power now you mean the nuts we're back to the children for the bureaus the cooks so so it's had the power down there so it's like it's like it's like the wild wild west with the kangaroo court now there you go up up you don't need an attorney you're you're guilty you're guilty yeah i hear you all right you know how it used to be down of south with the jim pro laws and etc and the blacks hey you lynched them all the time so so you didn't have to go to court so if the blacks down south at that time would say hey our forefathers said all men are created equal they didn't they didn't say white black or or asian or it the southern is the boss how is it you shut up i don't care what you have to say you're automatically guilty you're so and so you well you see what it wouldn't have done any good you see what martin luther king had to do yeah you know and bernie sand is marched with them while hillary clinton campaign for barry goldwater this bill merely reinforces the rights which currently exists to the exercise of religious freedom as stated in the first amendment to the u.s constitution the republican governor wrote that's right his twitter account that's right really saying that's right i mean i mean that's wrong that's right that now that you're calling them out that's wrong yeah that's wrong i'm sorry the measure allows churches religious charities and privately held businesses to decline services to people whose lifestyles violate their religious beliefs individual government employees may also out yeah but the evangelicals could could violate your religious beliefs well that's what they're doing aren't they see if if you could sum up uh conservatives with one word it would be hypocrisy although the measure says governments must still provide services this bill does not limit any constitutionally protected rights or actions of any citizen of the state under federal or state laws it does not attempt to challenge federal laws even those which are in conflict with the mississippi constitution as the legislature of federal law in such limited circumstances other states have considered similar legislation north carolina enacted a law while governors in georgia and south dakota veto proposals rather dated a guy named veto a long time ago i'm sorry i spelled this no he used to go hunting and he used to bring me uh venison supersata and venison salami and it's pretty freaking good let me tell you that much oh for lunch today i'm gonna have over here genoa salami and provolone sandwich on 12 green bread with horseradish mustard oh thank you oh the article quotes people who have been left behind in corporate downsizing or outsourcing as saying they are not sure there's any job security anymore amen to that there is none there hasn't been for quite some time now there are none rather there was a time not long ago when that loyalty did exist there was a covenant between employer and employee it was not outrageous to think that someone could start a career and retire with the same company yeah that's what my uncle uh phil used to tell me when i was a teenager you get hooked up with one big blue chip company you work hard for them dedicate yourself they'll take care of you but you know you're talking about the 1950s way of thinking yeah you're talking about a time before they learned about shareholders must get all the benefits yeah it's like it's like it's like uh you know uh like bill morrow has the same way of thinking too he's thinking yesteryear when it comes to corporations where where CEOs cared about their their customers and their company came first and the shareholders just had a wait for their profits yeah now everything is shareholders shareholders shareholders every three months every three months that's how corporations think today there's no long term there's no investment uh okay we're gonna we're gonna make profits down the road you make profits that first quarter or you're finished so in other words you think these uh uh these rich spoiled greedy coddled uh scumbags shareholders threatened them constantly that they're going to sell their shares in other words make me money or i'm going to sell my shares no it didn't begin with them it began with milton freedman and louis powell back in the 70s scumbags yeah they discovered that all benefits should go up and not down and not sideways up only in other words they uh they untrickled the trickle down economics and corporations only obligation is to make money for its shareholders period right so not make a good product not have uh good right relations with their employees etc so this guy all need to make money for the share this guy according to his this this man according to his name milton freedman this man Zionist was an economist at the chicago school but he was he was a greedy son of a bitch he was like iron rand yeah he's a male he shared the same uh character a characterology i'm sure he uh got a glimpse of iron rand's books milton freedman so he's probably an acolyte he's a male male version of yeah or disciple of just like mr greenspan another zionist piece of shit yeah alan greenspan the guy who had a ridiculous jack-o-lantern grin or grimace on his face while senator bernie sanders told him off was reading the riot act we're reading in the riot act and we're and what a riot act it was and it's on youtube by the way you know uh you know what else impressed me the speech made by charlie chaplin remember that progressive yes the one about the uh yeah where he was dressed up like hitler with a brown shirt yeah but he was the most spot you but there were topics that still apply to today universal theme yeah there were it wasn't it wasn't strictly about world war two it's great it was the shit go hit in the fan in general getting the gold watch along with the comfortable pension was a realistic expectation there was even the idea of a corporate conscience that a corporation existed for a higher purpose than just making money then came the corporate raiders of the 1980s who would buy up undervalued companies saddle them with debts break the companies up and sell the pieces for personal gain and who did that who did that for a living mr mit romney with bane capital that's what they did yeah didn't he also say he enjoyed firing people yes he did yeah and then they then they caught him on uh he also said audio recording corporations are people my friend oh because of that uh that law that ain't a law the law that technically is not a law yeah yeah which the core which the supreme court followed as a precedent it is no precedent well it doesn't exist well to conservatives they followed it followed it as a precedent because it sounded good to them but it wasn't a law you see how they you see how they represent a lawless society because the the laws only apply to little guys but not the fat cats not to them suddenly all the rules of the game changed man a corporate conscience became an unaffordable frivolity in this exchange the nature of the employer employee relationship was forever changed workers were no longer assets they were costs costs that were to be eliminated or reduced at every opportunity yeah they're tax deductible too well if they were tax deductible they wouldn't be cost but you told me later yes i told you that but you just changed everything they are tax deductible they are not cost no it's a perception coming from the corporation that they are cost no they they are tax deductible yes they are right off yeah that's what i said get the wax out of your ears that's what i said no you didn't say they're tax deductible i said they're tax deductible you agree they were a cost they are not a cost well the cost of doing of running a business collectively is all tax deductible is that true most things you know ages like if pensions right what a health insurance like if they have lease car like that if the executives have lease cars including the gasoline that goes in the martini lunches yeah yeah yeah downsizing began positions were eliminated and never replaced this pure carnivorous version of capitalism has been allowed to grow on check for years yeah gluttonously carnivorous well there it is right there like like a bunch of capitalism in a conch like a bunch of crocodiles feasting on a on a on a wildebeest or a canoe along with the decline of unions it has now led us to a place where those who are not at the top of the food chain have little hope of controlling their financial destiny until a shift in our culture occurs that forces companies to value workers more than profits the american dream will continue to fade from reach the american dream was always rigged for the people on top to experience top 20 percent i mean i mean you very very few regular joe joe below six joe six packs in society ever had upward mobility not that many go to any store pick up a few items what you will see is made in china made in singapore or made in other countries yeah even even the inside of a don uh donald trump campaign hat says made in china it doesn't take much of a brain to realize that foreigners have jobs at our expense while our citizens are unemployed yeah at a fraction of what it costs to pay an american there they're being exploited basically you know with free trade alleged experts have said we are going from a manufacturing economy to a service economy but they forget that if we have many unemployed americans we will not be able to pay for those services nowhere is this worse than in the electronics industry this is why you need to tariff those products when they come back to the united states but you can't because you just signed a trade agreement with these countries to do it this way and that's what they wanted to do with the tpp didn't they what i'm saying since manufacturing jobs will most likely not return back to the united states you have to make up for it somehow don't make the stupid trade agreements well you can thank your your right wing for that and your blue dog corporates democrats thank you which i call demon crats thank you no oh excuse me unfortunately free trade is not fair trade nope and only donald trump understands this or is taking talking about it many of the incompetent clueless politicians in washington are lawyers and have never in their lives run a business oh god only donald trump talks about it only donald trump see this bluebird up here there's another candidate that talks about it all too and then some of them they don't even understand why this is happening much less have any solutions uh trump clearly outlines the trade deficits with china and japan while hillary clinton is saying that she is fighting for us with no solutions up she's fighting for us i i saw the most that's what her signs say i saw the most nauseating hillary clinton campaign commercial yesterday where she's hugging she's embracing and she's cheek to cheek hugging black people oh yeah what the hell is she gonna do for minorities and the poor i mean when you look at what when put them in jail when you when you look at what she's about took them off welfare put them to work in in a privatized prison there you go that's what it was all about she wants hillary hillary doesn't like $15 an hour she wants $12 an hour she wants students to continue to pay off their student loans she doesn't want free uh education uh university education she doesn't want uh the free single-payer universal health care she sounds very much like a republican yeah well what the hell do you think they said the uh uh uh bill clinton became the clinton era republicans that's why he worked with newt gingrich well the blue dog things pass the blue dog is starting to turn shades of red please help us on the hill oh excuse me please help us before this country goes completely down the drain and the middle class disappeared it's almost there that's what happens when you have a corporate oligarch when the one in the right wing is in charge the middle class vanishes i was just going to say bill no bill clinton's nose is getting redder and redder which probably signifies them the clinton's politically how can the so-called american dream be sustained it's jobs that produce durable goods keep disappearing this this this individual seems to think that the little guy is can experience the american dream the entire american workforce cannot work in service type jobs production companies and the jobs they provide help create the need for service type jobs not everybody can work on wall street or sell real estate the balance of good manufacturing jobs versus service sector jobs has tipped dangerously in the wrong direction our colleges and universities are overflowing with students many of whom would be better suited and much happier to work in construction or manufacturing but good jobs in those sectors are hard to find so they turn to further education this country needs to bring back jobs that build cars and washing machines and companies that produce steel the factors that drive these types of companies out of the country need to be re-examined the global economy seems to have drained america of the opportunities that were once so abundant yeah maybe in the 1950s under eisenhower when the tax rate on the rich was 91% was where it should be oh yeah the piece of the fiction about burning might 50% oh wow hey the piece of delivery guy was saying oh i won't be able to survive if they hit me with a 90% tax rate i guess i said they're not they're not supposed to hit the middle class with the 90% tax rate it's for the rich we have a progressive tax system the more money you make the higher taxes has nothing to do with the little guy the middle class your average mainstream american does not they don't have any idea how this country works how it works how it's run how government works and they're clueless all they all they know is they respond to what they see on tv the hype if if you blame somebody that trump is the only one talking about these things if you sound excited and you point your finger at other people then you get excited and then you believe them you get you know in other words the hype is like a sponge it absorbs all these how they respond to these religious when they're up there preaching the poor 15 year old girl who's not even old enough to vote gets peppers mace in the face and and and she's called a nigga lover who by the donald trump supporters it was at a donald trump rally in the south and she's pepper mace she's 15 years old she can't vote anyway it's like they're they're not they're bonkers i'm telling you you know anyway we're gonna break for lunch and uh we'll be joined by our voiceover artist william hamilton morrow the

he's getting any now please i just say i don't i don't him and hillary i don't want to think about it um just wonder wash them in shulks can always use her and her hawk nose as a dildo up up hillary's ass which it basically is up hillary's ass i think that sounded very funny i'm gonna ring my levity bells i think steve just took a flight i don't like the levity bills um okay what was i gonna say i want to salute i want to salute the progressive pope frances for inviting bernie sanders for four days at the vatican they say he forced that somebody's saying that somebody said that bernie forced it that bernie suggested it forced it not suggested it i wonder who i wonder what the source was that said that i don't know you gotta be careful with this uh desperate uh corporate oligarch there there's a lot of misinformation out there oh goody you know but i nevertheless i want to salute pope frances i think it's very important that they met for four days oh now you want to go out all because of the levity bells woke up steve the black and white cat go ahead steve anybody else nope well i don't care i don't care you know what i mean all right i also want to say why in the hell that bernie sanders have to go and speak and and get interviewed in one of those christian universities talking about uh abortion abortion and being questioned about abortion of course they have to bring that up why did he have to do that because it's it's it's it's a no-win debate because these people are nuts the interviewer you can tell was an evangelical he was an evangelical nut the way he looked the way he spoke they have a disagreement that's how the debate is is a disagreement but why why put yourself in a situation where you allow right-wingers to interview you with lots of students in the audience you know and uh in public you know and make it public he handled it well he handled it well i mean that that's a disagreement bernie is for the woman is right to choose right the hell she wants to do with her body and the religious nuts are uh you know well he did life begins at uh when the sperm at the zoom pokes its head into the oven let me tell you something let me tell you something that's not what the bible says let me tell you something brother a fertilized human egg is no different than a fertilized chicken egg it is not a human being and that goes the same for an embryo that breeds like a fish the bible says life begins with the first breath as in with adam that's it that's it period that's what the bible read into the nostrils of right adam so there is no scientific proof that the uh the the process of conception is a human baby uh when uh well it's not that it's the life begins at yeah begin now no one knows what life is in the first place okay no one has ever described what life is it's as it's some form of energy energetic you know quality or whatever but no one has come up with uh does the sperm act the zoom have it does the ovum have it you know does the banana have it and when the the the the two cells divide into four is that a human being of course not i read a a large long scientific article about that subject and scientists have proved that it's not a human life and not at that point not at that point of course it's all potential potential a sprouted acorn an acorn or a sprouted acorn is a potential oak tree yes absolutely now um it won't be a elm tree we know that much it's a potential oak it will be a oak tree potential okay yeah it will be of its kind yeah we know that now what's funny is how republicans deal with the subject like chris christie uh during one of the last republican debates stated that the first thing he would do is defund plant parenthood to save the lives of all those those murdered babies in the womb blah blah blah now now it isn't about that the babies that the republicans really care about it's about defunding a a federally subsidized or a a state subsidized program it's the pilgrims and the puritans all over they don't want to they they don't want to they want to persecute those that don't have their power no but they also want to defund uh uh uh government programs period period not the ones giving subsidies to the calc brothers and mobile exon mobile etc corporate welfare is fine with republicans yes and warfare oh the military budget every republicans screaming yelling our military is depleted we don't have enough ships we're weak we're weak obama has made the united states weak yeah is what they said yet we spend more than any like eight eight or ten countries together on the military what about that um that uh aircraft fiasco the uh the the i don't know astronomical f35 astronomical amount of money wasted on it wasted on that alone can you imagine what what that would have done for the for the for the poor and the homeless and the veterans homeless veterans in united states yeah there wouldn't be an issue about cutting food stamps oh but that they want to cut yes absolutely that you know that which makes up one to one to two percent of the total budget they want to cut yeah i mean social services collectively all right he's there all the time he's got it in his budget all the time and war rhyme i need the chilele for war rhyme social security is bought and paid for by we the people and it is not an entitlement you got that yeah thank you all right let us continue with the balance of the show okay a little change of taste okay tomato paste is it appropriate for a parent to sleep in their 13 year old's bed alongside that child for the entire night it depends of is it the mother with the daughter then it's fine this child just entered puberty and i feel this is wrong what do you think if it's a if it's a mixed gender if it's a if it's a mother with son it's definitely wrong it is not this is amy dickinson's answer it is not appropriate for parents to co-sleep with adolescent children partly because adolescents need and deserve some privacy well as they engage in their developmentally important process of figuring out who they are and what they are about no plus boys at that age are always getting erections it's very hard to do this if the child is on some level answering the needs of the parent a parent who co-sleeps with the child at this age when it isn't necessary for health and safety reasons is seeing to his or her own needs not the child's it is supremely selfish and could lead to major problems not only the most obvious which is the opportunity for sexual exploitation can very very well happen as well as the possibility of being accused of sexual exploitation yeah why put yourself in a position for accusation sure but also the suppression of the child's own emotional physical and sexual development let me tell you my grandfather used to say uh kiss kissing leads to hugging leads to fucking or it could be hugging kissing hugging and kissing leads to copulation eventually what about these young ladies who don't want to kiss and that's like a whore usually they they they just have sex yeah without kissing it's like a prostitute they move on to the you know main event or a little lead up maybe with and then they complain that men do not uh uh apply enough foreplay and do not warm them up properly and they're not romantic and they just go right they blame men for going directly to the main event so these girls are doing what guys do they're they're they're turning to the tables uh hey you see women with manly tattoos you know on the side of their arms you know these uh black demonic looking you know these dark demonic looking uh uh tattoos uh on the side and then they're driving suvs like a guy you know recklessly driving a big suv either it's a carpet muncher or it's i don't know what you can complain feminism for all this New Jersey could make history by launching a new bold experiment the transition from a social welfare state to a social investment state social yeah that means all the poor are going to be out in the street during the last decade government pay for success projects using social impact bonds had been begun to transform the public sector including education corrections and social services however New Jersey has remained on the sidelines of innovation relying on old mechanisms that are out of political favor and are inadequate to address the state's wide variety of social welfare needs the social impact bonds serve as an alternative to government funding by attracting investors to finance initiatives that deliver predetermined measurable outcomes which are assessed by an independent evaluator denial if the objectives are met investors recoup their capital plus a government-assured bonus if promised outcomes are not achieved investors are paid nothing so structured the SIVs offer an innovative way to capitalize social programs while introducing a degree of accountability in the past decade the SIVs have evolved to finance a number of projects massachusetts authorized an SIV to address homelessness illinois launched an initiative to divert juveniles from detention funded by goldman sacks oh gosh a utah SIV provided services to developmentally delayed preschoolers who might have been diverted to costly special education initial results indicated that only one of 595 children was referred to special education accompanying the expansion of SIVs intermediaries have evolved to finance projects in addition to venerable organizations venerable organizations like goldman sacks sounds like they want to kick the poor to the curb to me and the rockefeller foundation new capital networks have emerged including social finance and third sector capital partners technical assistance has also improved Harvard's SIV lab consults on several projects like any social innovation the SIV learning curve improves as stockholders acquire more knowledge and experience putting private capital to public burden it's like the capitalist answer to social programs is that well yeah they want somebody to make a profit on it and it's just like privatization right in other words privatizing well given over to you one of your cronies they want to privatize welfare with crony capitalism more or less well they want to make a profit on it that's sure everything a private problem they got to make a private profit on everything which means uh the little guy will end up losing again right because they the money will not go into the government man which means the poor will be kicked at a time theoretically the government will get smaller and smaller and smaller and the poor will get uh will become more will starve more and more lovely New Jersey provides an ideal environment for the SIVs really the state's economy once ranked among the top five has stalled prompting new thinking about funding social programs between 2010 and 2013 the state's growth in GDP was only one percent half the national rate i got an answer tax the rich mr governor christy did not allow that no because they're those days them a holiday those are his cronies okay his pals he uh he's a he always he's afraid that businesses might leave the state of new jersey as he would say yeah right the great the great recession contributed to an upsurge in poverty from 2004 to 2014 new jersey poverty rate jumped 41 percent all the moochers oh my goodness oh them dark moochers oh you uh get it job go home and get it job get that protester out of here get him out of a punch him in the face as public assistance benefits lag behind the family needs the number of children living in extreme poverty below half the federal level increase from one hundred and twenty thirty one thousand in 2010 to 139,000 in 2014 despite rising poverty the conventional approach relying on federal funding is unlikely to address the gap between family needs and public resources since the 2010 midterm election congressional republicans have checked federal spending indeed under the obama presidency federal appropriations have grown only 1.6 percent the lowest since the eisenhower administration clearly washington will not fund social programs as it has done in the past in light of these developments it is unfortunate that new jersey has faltered in deploying the s.i.b the social innovation act which passed in 2014 would have provided 15 million dollars in loans through the new jersey economic development authority to pilot s.i.b but it was vetoed by governor christ that that name the republicans gave it social uh innovation innovative what's that again social innovation act the social innovation act they always put they always give these schemes a positive sounding title like the well you must have been a positive act because christie vetoed it he i i didn't like it to begin with but christie christie so chris christie in reality wants nothing if he look if that if this is a if the social innovation act uh is a capitalist way approach to social programs welfare and taking care of the poor it can't be all that effective if it's if it's if it's private if it's privatized for profit uh form a social program now for chris christie to veto that that means chris christie wants to offer the poor nothing zero in an age of austerity nice guys that you reelected in your jersey the financing of social programs predicted on how we predicated on outcomes that are positive as well as cost-effective is simply good governance oh really to be certain as ids upset partisan conventions it's abusing the liberal democrats of their dependence on public funding for social programs and conservative republicans from their denial about the effects of object object poverty the benefits of s i bs are becoming undeniable a full complement of s i bs could well mark new jersey as a state that confronted with a rising need and static resources embrace the future of innovation in social problems there's no jobs out there to make this all work to make it work effectively there are no logical options for the poor what are they gonna do when it's all over and they uh i know i know their their objective is to train the poor some kind of marketable skill like the bullshit uh workforce program with unemployment welfare what good is that when those jobs are given to the h1b the h1b's are coming are imported into the united states to take the very jobs that you were trained for through the government program not counting the american jobs that were outsourced we're talking about the h1b visa now so what are these programs gonna do if there's no jobs available for not even a fraction of the unemployed and the poor because the h1b people are working for much less than than you are required to receive um uh for your skill i was going to say a living wage but a an adequate the going rate for your skill the h1b visa immigrants are are working less at the same job it's all total camel dung complete camel dung how are we doing on time time for one more i cannot believe all of the vitriol leveled against donald trump in many of the letters in this and other newspapers i'll try and get out of here get that protester out of here put your bit of bass get him out of here he is just showing common sense regarding muslim immigration to the united state i don't think he's going far enough there should be a moratorium on all immigration to the united states for 10 years well it should be a really intensive background check of course to start on everyone we take in about a million immigrants every year canada australia take about 250 000 each well australia has a minimum wage of i think seven dollars seventeen seventeen dollars an hour in canada takes fairly good care of its people now that they have a real progressive uh uh president mr trudeau those who two countries are vastly underpopulated why should the united states take in more immigrants every year than canada and australia think about that the next time someone on television calls the united states a xenophobic racist country because the american companies want to want to hire the immigrant and stiff them for less money that's my take on it it's all about greed and profit with the united states too bad grab i schmule herzfeld walked out he missed a speech truly that had the 18 000 strong american israel public affairs committee convention on its feet in a glorious applause for its entire length i watched joe biden john kasey head crews as well as donald trump so they're supporting the uh the fascist right-wing nethanyahu and no one excited to crowd nearly as much as trump and this is overwhelmingly positive i hesitate to say that it seems to me that the rabbi is a bigot for not giving trump a fair heater no doubt influenced by the poisonous vitriol in the media his daughter married a jew so did chelsea clinton including the editorial page of the record and and by republicans we don't want an outsider to head their ticket in november yeah they want to own your career politician a career right-wing politician not a businessman trump is a highly successful businessman taking a one million dollar loan from his daddy yeah which he paid back with interest and turning it into ten billion dollar business his father took the money back mother fuckers uh i don't know about that because when his father died he left him 200 million oh his father was that wealthy yeah monuments to his success are evident all over the world a man like this is what this country needs oh god to save it from the ravages of barack obama oh the ravages uh what about the fantastic record of barack obama when he inherited the bush cheney uh i don't want to use the word mess because it was worse what's called a mess depression an unnamed depression because they called it a recession for two quarters and then came the recovery did you get a recovery i didn't get a recovery but i'm sure the top 15 20 percent did i know damn well the top one percent did so corrupt this is somebody who knows how to negotiate and when to walk away from a bad deal whose stated objective is to level the playing field with america's trading partners and who will lower the corporate business tax and bring american business and offshore money back home thereby creating jobs they're not gonna they're not gonna uh bring the jobs back from being outsourced they're not coming back they're they're already paying uh a super low taxes or no taxes the republican establishment is both shocked and frightened at the possible inevitability of donald trump has their nominee that is very very possible yet it is they who have created this possibility trump followers and much of the country are disgusted with the lack of action in congress yet whose fault is that contrary to the equivalence argument that the pundits often cite to blame both parties only one party the republicans promised in 2008 when president obama was elected that almost nothing of value would be accomplished during his presidency they have kept their promise yeah i think that their their their objective was to undermine everything that barack obama uh uh did and and the first statement was to make him a one-term president well apparently getting over 175,000 a year they were the probably the highest paid obstructors in the history of the united states was because that's all they did um you know despite efforts by democrats and the president to seek cooperation and compromise on numerous issues such as immigration college loan relief infrastructure repair and even aid to veterans republicans have blocked almost every proposal that could benefit the american people they have also treated obama with as little respect as has ever been shown to a president how did they expect those hurt by their actions to react by simply saying great great sound like tony the tiger we appreciate a do nothing congress or by supporting a demagogue like trump who promises to break the system they have come to despise the republican party created the frankenstein monster known as donald trump and now they are paying for it coming back to bite them in the air that's right they have created the monster and the monster is winning the republicans have sown the seeds of their own destruction and of the countries as well if we are dumb enough to elect trump as president outstanding reading pretty enter the show i got another one here all right one i think okay it wasn't a surprise to hear republicans complain that president obama should have flown home from kuba after the brussels bombings however they must have short memories of the flooding in new olians due to hurricane katrina then president george w bush was on the west coast and on on his return to washington he could have landed in new olians because the airport was not affected but instead he had air force one circle over the city while he simply looked out the window oh nice guy and he looked out the window and said yeah yeah that's a disaster area yeah that's a disaster and then he continued home katrina was one of the worst disasters to happen in the united states with 1500 casualties obama was in another country when disasters struck in yet another country bush was in this country while a disaster struck in this country so there is no comparison at all bush should have stopped in new olians but he didn't funny but i don't recall republicans criticizing him then no and of course his mother barba bush who said let the meat cake no it was similar oh those see those poor people sleeping on the on the on the field of the new olian superdome they should be lucky that they're there it's a step up for them to sleep in the superdome right she probably said that as she was eating uh filet mignon and rock lobster tail for dinner and dungeness crab yeah drinking fine wine yeah and eating uh alaskan king crab or something or beluga caviar you know yeah they they should appreciate sleeping on on a football field yeah so anyway that's it thank you for joining us for progressive discussions we'll see you next time if there is a next if there is a next time during the end times
