Yes Career politician Bob Gordon. This is a to bash Bob Gordon. Okay, and then there's a photo of Whatever let me read this Career politician Bob Gordon New Jersey students in the United States um Illegally to pay in-state tuition New Jersey students in the US illegally to pay in-state tuition career politician Bob Gordon and Excuse my voice. There are allergens in the air Today He voted to reduce college tuition for illegal immigrants While other New Jersey students and their parents are forced to pay more of course Republicans always have to attack The so-called illegal immigrants which are as you well know Immigrants of color south of the border because Republicans never complain about European immigrants Okay, it's clear Bob Gordon is out of touch This election day vote him out of office. He's out of touch Why because he's not all for the for the elitist in the top 2% a white Lily white America Okay And then here, okay Does this sound does it does this sound fair to you about these so-called the legal immigrants, okay, so You know what it comes what it comes down to is Republicans are only anti-immigration If you're of color number one number two if they If businesses in the United States can't hire you and pay you chicken feed for a salary with no benefits Aren't there other people there running with Bob? Well, I'm sure there's the right down the Republican line is a whole bunch of them Bob is a Democrat. Oh Bob I'm sorry Bob. Yeah, um Phil Murphy is on a ticket. He's the governor, but I'm talking Bob and Eustace and Eustace and I don't know woman woman. I forget. You know, I can't remember we have a lot of politicians in New Jersey with exotic last names and I'm not a I'm not a fan that of local of local politics I don't focus a lot on local politics, but I would say governor of New Jersey is pretty important Which is coming up this November 2017 yeah, which means balloon boy He's bye-bye fill himself up the balloon will fill himself up with helium and float away But we don't want the female What the hell's her name Geo? Jim? ladano Yeah, we don't want a any Republican really to here. We go again with the trash can. Oh Too much just push it down And it's a hefty to Kelly Lang Schultz is backed by Christie's allies who oh Here's a lovely photo Ding dong the witch is dead the wicked wish the witch is dead thing down to it we kid Now look who's on the other side. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, there we go. Ah There we go. Oh my god. Look about puffy cheeks. Talk about that the the orange buffoon Like Michael LeBar calls them they the other Okay opposing While Kelly Lang Schultz is backed by Chris Christie allies who? Oppose equal pay for women Support dangerous cuts to women's health services. Very true Ran our state's economy into the ground. Hey, not to mention cutting all the Social services we used to have in New Jersey. There's no sectionate by the way rent subsidy for anyone Not even senior citizens So Kelly a Lang Schultz even belongs To an extremist right-wing group. Hey that has pushed Despicable conspiracy theories about Barack Obama and spreads racism homophobia and sexism online interesting It's not becoming of a woman To be like this right wing. They're supposed to be sugar and spice and everything nice Kelly Lang Schultz wrong for our state wrong for state Senate Trump's health care plan would force seniors to pay thousands more Yeah, those seniors that have thousands more and Kick half a million New Jerseyans off their health care coverage. Hey Republicans in Washington just kicked out. What is it nine million children off of their health care, right? But Kelly Lang Schultz refuses to oppose Trump's dangerous plan to harm our health Kelly Lang Schultz wrong for our state wrong for state Senate Here we go again wrong for New Jersey wrong for New Jersey Hey, don't forget next November people the most important November to remember 2018 very long or it's a we don't even know who's running 2018 we don't even know who's running. Yeah next November, but that's when many seats are up Yes, and the Senate and the Senate and the House of Representatives Social Security. Oh a gentleman by the name of Tom from Passaic County, New Jersey contacted me and told me something that Pissed them off and rightfully so Social Security Administration His question was Can someone who is collecting Social Security disability? When they become of age can they also? Simultaneously collect Social Security Retirement no It switches. No not with scumbag Republicans at the helm Guess what they incorporate the social security disability and Into the retirement and use it as an excuse to not give you The Social Security retirement that you paid into America you paid into it Yeah, let's let's not waste too much time on the fucking thread Unless it was a hair Oh, so did you hear what I just said? They're people pay into Social Security to to wreak the fruits of During when they become what is it a 61 and nine months live it was No, no, no, yes. You can collect earlier for less money. Oh, yes, but now who wants to do that? 21 years and nine months, right? You cannot go any earlier than that, right? But because of the fucking Republicans If you're collecting Social Security disability I'm raising my voice because my voice is raspy They use the bastards are using that as an excuse to steal and to jip you out of your Social Security retirement if you collect disability Social Security disability So to me of course the entire Republican Party because it's not it's not just Donald Trump and Social Security administration you are hereby in the chisel is Hall of Shame for chiseling Something that is not an entitlement a Person should be able to collect Social Security disability and Social Security retirement when they become of age at the same time Because it's only fair because like I said before Social Security retirement and Medicare from what I understand are not entitlements Steve you better not unplug that plug. They we pay a payroll tax For Social Security. Yeah, if you talk to uh, so ugly old evil demons like Turtle face Mitch McConnell. He probably he'll probably have a stupid excuse comes from the general funds Yeah, yeah, just like a social service is according to a Republican and an inbred Redneck teabagger They think social services make up the bulk. Yeah of the of the United States budget. Yeah Cut those and you're saving money Okay, here's another inductee into the chisel's Hall of Shame and rightfully so There's my black thorn shelly GNC Walmart Walgreens and Target Were found to to commit Nutritional supplement fraud when it comes to herbal supplements They they found cheap filler in the capsules Or tablets instead of the herbs that were Posted on the label of these herbal supplements. In other words, they they were allowed to cheat the consumer So shame on you GNC Walmart, which doesn't surprise me Walgreens, which surprises me and Target, which also surprises There you go There you go Americans. There's your Capitalism for you without regulations snake oil Carnival hucksters back to snake oil back to snake oil. Yeah, this is what happens when you You go back in history to an America before FDR before we had corporate regulations like the times the time that According to a very good documentary I watched last night the time when Thomas Edison and J.P. Morgan screwed a Nikola Tesla With his with his the tower that he built Free free electricity For all did you know that I think it was during the 1940s? I could be wrong. Did you know that the great? Nikola Tesla took a pierce arrow automobile and converted it to total electric and it was go it was flying at 90 miles an hour Nikola Tesla and and the electric Automobile first started in the 1920s Tesla took a pierce arrow and did this and he got they just blew him off They blew him off Well, he ended up ditch digging Tesla Those they screwed him He died in in in a New York City in the man in the Manhattan Hotel Living alone in a hotel room And as soon as he dropped dead before any friends or family could Well before anybody entered his hotel room government the feds were there he confiscated all of his papers Yep, J. Edgar Hoover And his boys confiscated everything, but they didn't waste any time a doctor bill confiscating No, they they barged right in there and took it off. Oh Gee, I wonder why So that's about it. So Let us on this special I don't know if we have time for yeah, maybe one Let's bang one one or ten minutes. Yeah, all right but because this of Steve The the witch is familiar. I forgot to hit the stopwatch. All right, go ahead okay question as Diamonds actually began as coal Eons ago will they burn George Reeves crushing the coal for lowest lane? Will they burn a big-ass diamond for yes Diamonds can burn. Well, they're they're the hardest hardest known substance, but they're not indestructible but the circumstances have to be right and Insurance companies can easily distinguish a false claim however Contrary to popular belief Though diamonds and coal are both forms of carbon Diamonds do not come from coal No, that was they had a They had a Integrate something into the Superman series diamonds are virtually pure carbon But coal is full of substances that prevented from becoming diamonds Also for diamonds to form Carbon requires tremendous amounts of pressure and heat Found deep within the earth Coal is formed from plant debris Near the surface Even the oldest plants are Younger than almost every diamond that has been dating. Wow Well diamonds As far as reality goes as far as the South African diamond mines goes Is is really no longer a precious stone? It's all a game a game in capitalism they they they control the exportation of Tons of diamonds they hold back to keep the price up He As the nails stick it between two stones, so does sin stick to buying and selling. Yeah Yeah, it's in the Bible For those of you that do not cherry pick from the Bible Okay, all right. We have time for one. It seems That seems the holier than vows I found their spokesman a Free time married adulterer Who says he has never asked God for forgiveness? I think the right wing evangelicals have many representatives The flag waivers who shout USA USA during the Trump rally Trump pansies have found a draft Dodger Who accuses a kneeling black athlete of disrespecting the flag? Meantime the president see a sounds the why That president Obama did not write letters or call the families of our dead warriors Hey, what wasn't the African-American widow disrespected recently? Yes You said that was all a lie Everything they said about him was alive. What did it really happen? That's what the congresswoman said She overheard the conversation. Oh, okay President Trump continues to make these hateful attacks and Engage in other efforts to destroy the legacy and besmirch the character of The Barack Obama I like that word besmirch like who hoots the funny name funny word The Trump presidency is the horrible price. We are now paying for having elected Obama Well, it's karma a man Who was everything anyone could ask for in a president well Except not when he extended the Bush tax What about the the whole national security thing with that law that that they can arrest you and Stick you in a who's gal and your family may never see you again. Well, if you're on this Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, in other words take infringe upon your first amendment rights. Yeah Yeah, and he was and what about protesting? Hey, don't forget the Republicans were in charge of The House and Senate for most of Obama's six years for six years Yeah Let's wrap it up a Harvard train lawyer faithful husband loving father religious compassionate competent intelligent eloquent and all without drama or a trace of scandal It seems it was more than some people could stand having a black man in the White House Now we see crowds waving the Confederate flag and more outbursts from racists and misogynists homophobes xenophobes Somehow they always come back or they never really don't forget Barack Obama has a degree in constitutional law He was that law the professor. Yeah, he knows he knows he knew and knows the shit I mean, I'm just surprised. He didn't Really get tough with people like Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan. I mean, I would have gotten real tough I would have went on the media I would have freaking exposed the whole Republican Party's ass if I was being oppressed and and unfairly attacked He fell into the same trap that Clinton fell into with Yeah, what's your Macaulay? He folded like a cheap camera Well, he wanted to get things done and to do that. He had his cells things and And give things away that were important. He had to do little kissy-ass. Yeah, he had a polish the old right-wing apple That's why he he made nice nice with the bloated toad a new gingrich gingrich that stole Christmas Okay, you know what? We'll take a short break Thanks to Steve who is now she move your foot, please sir Thanks to Steve who won't get the fuck out of the studio regarding Did Martin Luther clear the path for Donald Trump the Reverend Alexander Santora Does not provide the major impact of Luther's rebellious act to wit If the church had crushed Luther as it had earlier movements E.g. the Hussites, etc. We would still be living in the Middle Ages If Luther had crushed a church We would also still be living in the Middle Ages What happened instead was a stalemate with each side claiming Claiming to have the true interpretation of the Bible and condemning the other side Thoughtful Christians had no way of knowing who was right or how to prove such a conclusion Indeed the fact that each side was dogmatic and only one could be right Established a notion that being dogmatic is no proof of anything That opened the possibility that both sides were wrong The result was a revival of ancient skepticism, which led to mon modernity The ironic conclusion is that Luther in Trying to purify Christianity actually undermined it resulting in The secularization of the West I still sighed with our without founding fathers about keeping church and state separate Because no one has proven that their God exists yet. Are we taxed enough today? Well, the middle class certainly is taxed way too much Not the rich not the rich Are we going to continue to elect politicians that appease their base? for donations with statements of lower taxes and reduced spending and Then when elected Continue to vote for higher budgets more government employment Please consider the above statements when choosing your candidates Consider taking action and voting out the candidates that are same old same old All of them consider taking action of voting on November 7th for the candidates who do not advocate for tax increases Which result in higher taxes for all? Vote for change not the same old same old The only true change would be for the rich to pay their fair share in In taxes and for the and for the burden to come off of the shoulders of the middle class And that would be a tax increase For the people that should be taxed and can afford to be taxed yet And who have been on a tax vacation for a long time for over 30 years Okay, yeah Don't forget when the rich are taxed heavily. They are still living high on the hog But when the middle class are taxed heavily they go to the economy goes Yeah, and and in the middle class become Eventually low-income and then and then they enter the poor house. Yeah, and then they can't provide jobs because that's That's who provides 70% of our jobs middle the middle class includes Main Street. Yeah Small businesses Professionals that hang their shingle up. Yeah Entrepreneurs yeah small what they call small emerging growth companies. Yeah Those that are in the mutual fund and and securities business You know the little guy the little guy is not just It's the poor sucker Joe six-pack consumer the little guy is also a small business owner on Main Street The provider yes Yeah, yeah, yeah, well people with people that That put their surplus cash back into the economy. That's right Because the rich don't do that they invest in things that benefit only themselves Rather than investing in a company Which would benefit a lot more people that's an amazing problem. Well, don't forget don't forget though When when competition was a great thing for capitalism The more competition you have the better products are produced the better customer service is But guess what and lower Prices for your products, but guess what the person who owns that business and is competed against He doesn't like it because he wants to be the only business in town Monopoly That's what we have today monopolies. That's correct. Well, you've got six. I believe it's six six companies corporations now own the media Yeah, the whole country and speaking and speaking of craft beer. I'm pissed off that and hyzer bush That makes the cheap-ass nationally advertised Budweiser Bought out many family owned Micro breweries. Yeah, but they got bought out too By far in a country company without I'm not sure whether it was China and as a bush They send the Clydesdales know the slaughterhouse for horse meat burgers I'm sure they do when they get old enough. Hey, and I was a boy Budweiser calling themselves the king of beer is like Donald Trump calling himself the best president That ever existed and he does and he does hey, did you see last week last week on? Saturday night live Baldwin was on. Oh, I got I got to go to YouTube. I'm way behind on Alec Baldwin. Yeah, he was on last week No, I missed the last So did I yeah, I got to check them out. I got to check it out An alarming study Released on Wednesday found many baby food products Test positive for arsenic now who when he came into power Up the arsenic Levels in our food and it was GW bush Do I smell a depopulation plan by the elitist Including 80% of infant formulas Hey, might as well kill them when they first come out of the womb That's what they're doing. But if you're in the womb, oh man, they'll they'll protect you like Like no one else will the right way And that's not the only danger is contaminant found the clean label project a non-profit group that advocates for transparent labeling Tested baby food infant formulas toddler drinks snacks Purchase within the past five months The group looked at top-selling formulas and baby food using Nielson data and also included emerging national brands After about 530 baby food products were tested researchers found 65% of The products tested positive for arsenic 36% for lead It's the 8% for cadmium Well, if it was any food from mainland China, they there would be a lot worse. I guess they would remember We send our chickens to giant They process them and they send them back to us Um Let's not forget Jamie Oliver's YouTube videos on fast-food hamburgers like McDonald's. Let's not forget what they do To save money the greedy bastards You know take mystery meat Meat byproducts mystery meat roadkill whatever the hell you want to call and Disinfected with ammonia Once it's patate once it's ground it could be anything ammonia and then serve it to the public and our wonderful government the FDA and the USDA That people think cares so much about our safety and our health allows it all to happen Republican deregulation need I say more All of these chemicals pose potential dangers to developing infants Jennifer Lowry pediatrician and toxologists at Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City. She's both Missouri Who was not affiliated with the research said these chemicals can affect fine motor skills and cognition The kids are fucked up enough as it is today mainstream brands including Gerber Infamil Plum organics and Sprout were among the worst offenders infamil to scoring two out of five in the clean label projects report card for toxic metals plus 60% of products claiming to be BPA free tested positive for the industrial chemical Bicephal quantities of contaminants range But some products tested positive for up to 600 parts of arsenic per billion Arsenic was the most common contaminant spotted in the study The toxin is associated with developmental defects cardiovascular disease neurotoxicity Diabetes and even cancer. Oh When I hear that word toxin, I also think of another word vaccines. Oh, yeah, what happened to that young lady who Was thrown in jail because she wouldn't vaccinate her son flu shot flu shot. Yeah, I'm not I'm not getting the flu shot There's no way after I read all the articles I read, of course And what about the what is it the Gardasil vaccine for the human papilloma virus? Yeah my doctor tells me It's a lie. No, no young female has died from the Gardasil vaccine now Yeah, but if he's wrong if he's lying to me He's a scumbag because they wanted they want to vaccinate boys, too They want to vaccinate boys. Yeah, they are corporations also want to start putting the chip into people into the employees The chip the infamous chip. Here you go. Not chips. Ahoy chocolate chip cookies, either They want to be able to scan you and track you no matter where you are Know everything you're doing which by the way, yeah, is The Facebook Messenger app that Mark Zuckerberg keeps on pushing pushing pushing every time I log into Facebook They claim the articles claim that Everything you do can be spied upon Using your smartphone Yeah, everything you do Even if like you're another you're another Anthony Weiner, I guess you they'll see that too your wiener Yeah, oh my god, I'm surprised Oscar Meyer never hired Anthony Weiner They should be driving the Oscar Meyer Weiner truck now it takes old James P. Madonna to think of clever Advertising stunts. Come on. Come on. I should be rolling in dough with my ideas go ahead Jack will it Jack Jack so in Jacqueline Jacqueline. Yeah, Jack Owen Jack off Executive director of clean label project and a food safety scientist said wow three time-based foods such as snack puffs had some of the highest levels of Damn Because of our goof because the 230 now well or or we can just hang out kill time because we have to We have to Plug into that. We have to go into the power source after the second video a Letter to the editor in Saturday's paper slightly Mistakes the origins of the second amendment to the Constitution This is described to a desire by the founding fathers to allow the citizenry to protect itself from Dependations of their own government What actually motivated the founders Was a morbid fear of standing armies and a belief That a military force with nothing else to do in peacetime would concoct concoct misgivous ways to interfere with governance Hence it was the government that was the intended beneficiary of the amendment The founder's solution was an armed body of citizens who could answer the call to arms in the event of danger as Did the minute men at Lexington in Concord? Hence the prominent mention in the text of the term malicious Today it seems more important than ever to keep these principles in mind for with the preponderance of professional military types at the apex of government Who our gate to themselves a status as sacred and above reproach Our country seems to be on an inexorable slippery slope Towards status as a banana We should also remember That the wisdom of our of our founding fathers Was no more cogently displayed Then in our country's time of mortal danger during World War two When our country and much of the world was saved by the greatest generation Which was composed of ordinary? citizen soldiers sailors and Airmen even the Every great civilization was corrupted Eventually and fell the Greeks Despite all their wonderful contributions scientists Doctors Eventually fell of course the Romans And I think it's time for the United States Empire Hey, Nikita Khrushchev was right You were very old. No. No, not that part. Haha. The United States will destroy itself from within Now you look like Miley Cyrus thinking you know what Miley Cyrus recently said She said that Satan is actually not a bad guy. He's a nice guy. I think she wants to get banged by Satan I think that's what it is. He has no leak. How does how did sweet innocent Hannah Montana turn into this This Creature known as Miley Cyrus Or she or she just doing it because she's not getting any Media attention. She's not relevant anymore Most likely that one that could be it. She's not relevant. Yeah, like remember when Michelle Bachman and Sarah Palin and her little Fat pig a slut daughter Bristol Palin was relevant. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, all we heard was Them being mentioned every day. Yeah. Yeah. Now. They're just history here today gone to Maui I wish I was in Maui Steve Might as well incorporate Steve into the show as comedy shtick In this article Michael Medved makes a valid point that the country has prospered during administrations of mediocre chief executives Presumably this should give us hope that our nation may benefit during the term of our current commander in chief To illustrate his point Medved looks back to the period between the administrations of President's Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt He sees this as an era defined equally by presidential mediocrity and national prosperity He suggests parallels to today and asks could these recent development signal that Trump might recapture some of the magic of the gilded age By the way, mr. Muller is indicting some people today Concerning the Russian Trump, you know what? According to the Internet news and Maybe even people like Anderson Cooper and CNN Everything's under investigation Monk the month the month the month the month the month I want to see people be brought to justice member when Was it Chris welcome that all was it Chris a federal prosecutor Chris Christie that that that Caught all all of those New Jersey mayors Deeply involved in corruption and had and they were all arrested not the recent ones Was it was it was Chris the Chris Christie white may be a prosecutor did he play a role in that when they caught all the recent ones No, no, not the older ones before he ever became governor. Yeah, probably. Yeah, and they just clean house. Yeah That's what I want to see happen Clean out clean out the barn clean out the barn like H. Ross Perot used to say I Don't see the barn getting cleaned out The question betrays a stunning ignorance Or worse betrayal of our nation's history Magic Nedved points out that during this time America Welcome to more than 10 million immigrants Yeah, but fails to note the condition because they were white. You mean the ones that went to Ellis Island They were Caucasian. That's why nobody picked on them Confronting many of these newcomers Crowded as they were into tenements the Italians got picked in the shadows. What about these the Irish? Oh Yeah, the Irish and the Italians. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, they both got picked on. Yeah They were in the tenements and in the shadows of Virgining cities across the land Virgining Virgining Meredith. He really died in the lower east side of Manhattan at this time was the most densely populated place on the planet Heat and running water were scarce. There was no mag magic time for immigrants Women could not vote. There were no laws banning child labor. This was no magic time for children It was during this period that reconstruction ended in the south Thus allowing the states to disenfranchise African-American voters and enact segregationist laws Collectively became known as Jim Crow Lynching for flourish This was no magic time for African-Americans During this period of federal government also pursued a policy of extermination of Native American peoples Just because the slaves were freed that that doesn't mean they were out of danger or live in a good life, you can't buy no means They know means You know when my mother's one of my mother's physical therapists from the Philippines Says that while people in the Philippines at a dirt poor come here Looking for greener pastures. Oh, yeah, sure a Republican controlled America greener pastures for the poor She laughed their head off when I said this she says She nodded her head. Yes, you're right forcibly removing survivors of the Indian wars From ancestral lands and exiling them to reservations This was no magic time for Native Americans Some people did indeed prosper at that time It was for sure a magic age for the Titans of corporate America There you go the Titans like JP Morgan Carnegie Cornelius Vanderbilt the the initial Capitalist scumbags the founding fathers of of capitalist scumbaggery. I just made that word up Inaction by the federal government brewed a powerful elixir fueling the establishment of monopolistic trust by Wall Street magicians Suppressing competition lowering wages promoting high prices Rockefellers Standard Oil JP Morgan's United States Steel and the Vanderbilt's New York Central System Are but three examples of the resulting widespread restraint of trade MedVed has not served history. Well, in fact, I am left to wonder if he has ever done much research of any sort If he had he might realize the term gilded age is not a positive much less a magical description Gilding is a paper-thin layer of gold applied over a cheap base In order to make the whole scene valuable this writer has sort of a poetic a Michael J. Talmo style or Or maybe or maybe surpassing Michael J. Talmo as Once the ostentatious wealth of a view covered the unspeakable misery of the many Today we confront a new gilded age MedVed's article may apply a thin denier of Respectability over inhuman policies and call it magic This is not magic. It is simple greed Yeah, and you know what? It's evil. It's wicked. Oh, I forgot to tell you the third. Okay, the third video Can be like 10 or 15 minutes long So We can pull it off. All right. All right. We're gonna take a break. We'll be back a very short break Very short I'll screw him screw Steve. Go fuck himself me. Oh, you oh, that's different. I can't get past. Oh Okay We're back Excuse me. We're back. This is the last joint before lunch. Continue. Okay Sir the Republican-led Senate Narrowly voted on Tuesday to repeal banking rule That would let consumers band together To sue their bank or credit card company to resolve financial disputes I have a whopper with With Chase when I used to have a Chase Platinum card With a wonderful like 2.9 percent interest. I was late After several years I was late like one or two days with a payment and they jacked me up to almost 30 percent interest and I basically got very very nasty with them on the phone Did they change it? No, ha, that's why I use some very foul language. Uh-huh. In other words We don't care what you did. Yeah, we don't care. We're gonna pay That's why we got you. We got you by the short hairs. That's right. We got you Vice president Mike Pence cast the final vote to break a 50-50 tie Let me guess it was 50-50 tie going in the wrong direction. That's correct. Nice nice Well, I can't blame Pence. I blame I blame possibly not enough Democrats Well, that's for sure, you know, we're doing the right thing. 50 voters against it the banking industry Had been lobbying hard to roll back The regulation from the consumer financial protection bureau, of course, they don't like regulations well, that thing was put together by Warren and Barney Frank Barney Frank the one with the little bitch titties always sticking out of his sweater. He was homosexual. Yes Barney Frank. No, no, you know, you could be you could be an older gentleman with bitch tits You don't have to be homosexual. You can be straight. But anyway, he was a he was a Democrat I don't know if he was a progressive or not, but he was a Democrat Yeah, and the Republicans have been trying ever since 2008 to change this law. To undo it all. That's right. Do you remember Daniel? To repeal and replace Yeah, with slavery and death to the poor, you remember Daniel Patrick Moynihan Absolutely, the one with the eyebrows that used to go like up and down. Yeah, yeah, he died Yes, I think I think he passed away. He was a day. He was one of those old-fashioned Democrats. Oh Yes, like like Ted Kennedy Ted Kennedy like Teddy Kennedy got arrested so The Bureau had moved to ban most types of mandatory arbitration clauses found in the fine print of agreements Consumers often enter into when opening a checking account or getting a credit card. Thank God for federal credit unions Starting to advertise now. Ah, good thing starting to advertise. Yes The vote reflects the effort of the Trump administration and congressional Republicans to undo Regulations that the GOP argues harms the free market Undo reminds me of undoing sausage Kind of overpriced for a spicy sausage and the measure now moves to Donald Trump's desk for his signature White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders Said the president applauded the vote, but you know what this country's in big trouble You know, I don't know unless the unless the inbred rednecks See the lighter get pissed off enough Mm-hmm That ain't gonna happen where's what's what's gonna happen? We're in trouble. This generation must die Which generation the Millennials? No, the Republicans are the party the party this generation of them people In that party, there's too many corrupt old motherfuckers That just won't go away because they keep on getting reelected over and over and over again and They keep inculcating this Republican Agenda into their children and of course the people don't have a pot that don't have a pot to piss in that living shacks Mm-hmm They're they go along their shot. They're not their brains a shot. I I don't think you can rehabilitate them I don't think You can Regenerate their cells and their brain or they're shot. I'm talking about the people that live out live out Way out of yonder, you know what I mean yonder like let's say let's take like a Wolf Wolf County, Kentucky Yeah, yeah, yeah people like that Yeah, they're shot. They might as well jump into the into the super volcano at Yellowstone Park. Just jump right in the rule would harm our community banks and Credit unions by opening the door to frivolous lawsuits by special interest trial lawyers Sanders said Democratic lawmakers said the CFPB's rule Would have given consumers more leverage To stop companies from financial wrongdoing We desperately need Regulations to protect we the people Once again, we desperately need you notice. I'm wearing traditional black for the Halloween special the Halloween special show I know we do not know that They have the dead Loving couple here Sugar skulls All right, go ahead. I don't want to die. They cited the sales practices at Wells Fargo and The security breach at credit company Equifax. Oh gosh as examples of misdeeds Protected through forced arbitration So who does forced arbitration help Wall Street banks and other huge corporations that never pay the price for cheating working Oh Richard Cordray Director of the Consumer Bureau said Tonight's vote is a giant setback for every consumer in this country Wall Street one and ordinary people lost This vote means The courtroom doors will remain closed For groups of people Seeking justice and relief when they are wronged by a company Wrong by a company nice way of saying fucked over ripped off and No way to seek to seek Retribution and your abuse rest restitution whatever whatever word you want to use yes That's what the Republicans always do They want they want the legal right to To to suck you dry like a damn vampire. Yeah to crush you but never let you crush the big boys Even though they may be multi-billionaires. They're never wealthy enough. That's how evil these people are just look at photos of Mitch McConnell and You could see the The the wickedness in the man Republicans said the arbitration system has worked wonderfully for consumers They said the payouts for the average consumer in arbitration cases are generally much larger and come more quickly Than when compared to the relief gained through class action losses. I Like that that term class action losses. Is that a real big whopper of a lawsuit? That's involving many people And that means you get less of a payment Maybe not maybe not depends on the corporation. Yeah, well that depends, you know, you know also and it means that if you've been wrong You may not have to appear in court to get that like a drug company class action lawsuit or Let's say like the Like the lawsuit against the morana IUD that embeds itself into a woman's uterus Just an example Okay What do you think you done? No, what am I done? I'm doing that. Oh, you're not done yet. Well, let's go Oh, wait. Well, you're poking that woman's uterus there. Oh, no, but I'm saying is how far are you? I got a whole column here. Holy shit. We ain't gonna have time for it All right, give it a effort to try to characterize this as some Devious system that has been created to try to stop consumers from having access to fairness is simply false Said Mike Crapo Republican chairman of the Senate Banking Committee said Crapo said the average payout for consumers in Class-action lawsuits against financial companies was just 32 dollars Democrats argued that consumers generally don't have the time and means to pursue claims in arbitration And since most disputes revolve around small amounts, they typically just give up They said banks and other financial firms know that in the end They won't have to pay a real price for taking advantage of a consumer But class actions would serve as a powerful tool for consumers Once again, we're helping the powerful against the powerless said Senate Minority Leader Chucky Schumer The two republicans sided with Democratic leader lawmakers to keep the rule Lindsey Graham and John Kennedy of Louisiana The advocacy group consumers union several veterans groups including the American Legion Lobby to keep the rule They said consumers would still have the option to use arbitration To resolve as a dispute if both parties wanted to go that route Without the CFPB rule Consumers can be forced into a rigged system where they have no recourse. It's a disgrace The American Bankers Association cheered the Senate vote Today's vote puts consumers first rather than class-action lawyers said Rob Nichols the group's president and chief executive That was a crap No, you're ready for lunch.

All right. I know you do a key moderate republican urged president donald trump on a sunday to back a bipartisan senate effort to shield consumers from rising premiums after his abrupt decision to halt federal payments to insurers Calling the move destructive And an immediate threat To access to health care. Well, there's no doubt in my mind that that there is truly class warfare against the poor By the rich by the very rich top two percent Without a doubt i'm convinced i'm convinced of that and i'm convinced of their depopulation and enslavement plan and and jesse ventura When he used to do conspiracy theories While he still agrees that This is true with the president what the president is doing Is affecting people's access? And the cost of health care right now said senator susan collins of maine Who has cast pivotal all votes on health care in the narrowly divided senate? This is not a bailout of the insurers What this money is useful Is to help low income people afford their deductibles and their co-pays Congress needs to step in like like republicans care about Well, she's one republican Who does that cares? Okay And i hope That the president will take a look at what we are doing Her comments reflected an increasing focus on sunday On the bipartisan senate effort led by senators lamar alexander of tennessee and patty murray of washington To reinstate the payments At least temporarily to avoid immediate turmoil In the insurance market even as trump signaled he would not back a deal Without getting something he wants in return The payments will be stopped this week With sign-up season for subsidized private insurance that who start on november 1 The president is not going to continue To throw good money after bad Give seven billion dollars to insurance companies Unless something changes About obama care that would justify in this His decision last week Trump derided the seven billion in subsidies as bailouts to insurers As suggested he was trying to get democrats to negotiate And agree to a broader effort to repeal and replace former president barack obama health care plan The payments seek to lower out-of-pocket costs for insurers Which are required under obama's law to reduce poorer people's expenses About six million people To recoup the lost money Carriers are likely to raise 2018 premiums for people buying their own health insurance policies. Oh, you're like they can afford that My mechanic pays like over seven thousand seven or nine thousand A little under 10,000 a year My mechanic that runs a garage has to pay for his health insurance alexander and murray Have been seeking a deal that the tennessee republican has said Would reinstate the payments for two years in exchange alexander said republicans want meaningful Flexibility for the states meaningful The states to offer lower cost insurance policies with less coverage Than obama's law mandates Yeah, they want the poor to drop dead They want to give you a low cost insurance plan that doesn't cover anything Yeah, like the like this guy told me Working doing temporary jobs for the adeco staffing employment agency has has the shittiest crappiest And he works full-time Only pays like up to like 29 hundred dollars for the whole year That's it and the rest is a hundred percent out of your pocket. There you go What the fuck kind of a health insurance plan is that there's your There's your capitalism for your teabaggers There's your your america. I'm sure let me tell you something There was no way to god of the bible was behind the united states of america That is Your version of the united states of america. There is no way Well, you've got to understand something republicans in our Sociopaths in our no in our Circle of politics Have taken over God They have taken it over and they force it on you to believe it But they don't believe it You understand that they don't believe it. It's a bunch of horseshit their their version You're talking about the rewritten cherry picked I'm talking about it all republican bible my father used to say that Religion I think it was Stalin also he said religion is the opium of the people My father used to say that religion Was what the big boys and girls Forced on you So that they can control you. Well, jesse jesse ventura says Organized religion is for wake-minded people. Exactly Because they let another people do what they're thinking for if it's organized. It's already set up and blah blah blah blah Yeah, well the hey they uh You know they The spanish conquistadors under the roman catholic church at the time They executed indigenous people in america because uh of of their pagan Yeah, they're pagan beliefs, but they're pagan beliefs were were were probably Many thousands of years old And who were they to come along and End of a better quality because they didn't want to hurt the land a you know, they used the buffalo I mean to buy some or whatever. Well, no, I mean to feed themselves all of the americas Even even the tahino even the the original caribbean Natives they were executed burnt to the stake. I know but their religions Were closer to the ground well closer to the earth. It was an earth was there to the sky It was they were at one with nature and with the with the planet closer to nature They cared about the planet. They cared about the environment. They cared about nature whereas the conquistadors and all the other conquerors That's what they were about Conquering they were looking for gold They heard there was gold the golden and mar hill the uh The legendary city of uh, um, el dorado and all that anyway finish up. I have no idea if we're offline or not congressional republicans Are divided on that effort white house budget director nick Mulvaney has suggested trump might oppose Any agreement unless he gets something he wants? such as a repeal of obama care Or funding of trump's promised wall on the u.s. Mexico board. Oh, yeah to help the hell with To help with we the people as long as they have that wall On sunday mouse house minority leader, nancy policy Describe trump's demand for a sit-down with congressional democratic leaders as a little far down the road She noted the bipartisan effort in the senate And said ultimately it will be up to a republican controlled congress An executive branch whether the federal government Can avert a shutdown by year's end And the answer to all of this before we say so long is Please everyone every everyone who can legally vote in the united states Regardless of how old you are or what race you are or what gender you are everyone must vote this november 2018 Vote out the republicans Please that's all I have to say Thank you for joining us.
