 You know, the teabaggers, they all are showing up to vote Republican, but the left is not taking it seriously. You should be ashamed of yourselves. So that's pretty much it. I just want to say greetings to my near-dear friend in Osaka, Japan, Miho, and greetings to all my Facebook group administrators. All of them, like Saash Boyle, Anthony Laura, you know, Paul Neif, Nick Von Raven. That's all I can remember. I think that's all I have. I mean, the ones that stand out are usually the ones that participate. You know, you've got to be proactive to be one of my administrators. And then, you know, these guys are some are more proactive than others. I would say Saash Boyle, Anthony Laura, and Paul Neif, German gentlemen from Illinois, are extremely proactive. And I thank them very much for their contributions to the group. All right. Let us know. Oh, before we begin, everything that we discuss politically on the show is part of our series, Capitalism in a Conk Show. There's a conk. A conky. Now, seven bells for the conk. Man, that bell sounds great. All right. We'll sink our teeth into these readings now. The Acrobotic Sky Diving Osprey. We're starting off with something a little... Yeah, you did that last week. Well, you know, we ended up being a real rough show. Contrast. Jesus. Once down to a mere 50 or so pairs... The Osprey. ...in New Jersey in the early 1970s continues to make a dramatic rebound in New Jersey close to 600 pairs here last summer. The Big Fish Hawk, which builds nests 10 feet deep... Not a chicken hawk, like from Foghorn and Leghorn. No, this is the fish hawk. It's a fish hawk. ...had been devastated in the 50s and 60s by loss of habitat and pesticide contamination. Its recovery is an indication that the coastal and tidal waters of New Jersey that provide its fish-based diet are getting cleaner. Oh, yeah. They are, because... No thanks to Governor Christie. But the oyster beds are being replanted in the Hudson Bay area. You know, the New York Harbour is in that, you know, entering the Hudson River. Yeah, the oyster beds are being reseeded. This is, hey, this is because of democratic progressive politicians that you have all this environmental protection laws now. Not the Republicans. Well, Mr. Trump is going to do away with the EPA. Well, they don't want regulations. Even Chris Christie said it when he was standing behind Trump. We've got to get rid of the regulations. Of course. In other words, it's profit before the planet and people. Correct. But if you don't have a... An osprey. But don't they understand they... All these rich, greedy scumbags live on the planet Earth. So it's their planet Earth too. And they have to breathe the air and they have to, you know... It's like asking a smoker. You understand what you're doing to your body. It's the same thing with somebody who I was talking to recently who is obese and addicted to sugar and crying about their health. My health, my health. And when you try to help them, it just gives me a dirty look and a smirk. Like a laugh like, yeah, you're bothering me now. Hey man, you're crying on my shoulder. Expect the answers to your problems. Otherwise get the fuck away from me. You know? Yeah. That's like a lot of women when they come with a problem and... They don't really want you to go into it and help them. They just want you to feel sorry for them. I got an itch in the middle of my forehead. Hey, I'm not Richard Simmons, obviously. I'm not going to hold your hand and go, oh, oh, oh. If you cry to me, I'm going to try to solve your problems. Put it in the butt. Otherwise put an egg in your shoe and beat it. All right, go ahead. Make like a tree and leave. That's a good way to fire people. Just put a can of beets on their desk. Beat it. Volunteer Osprey Watchers have identified 534 active nests in 2015. Active nests. More than any year since before the species numbers started to decline. The pairs using those nests successfully bred 737 young, maintaining a population growth rate of about 10%. Since 2009, according to the study, produced by the non-profit conserved wildlife foundation of New Jersey and the State Division of Fish and Wildlife. You know, the bald eagle population in New Jersey has grown tremendously. We have them in, they've been seen in Bergen County by us. It's amazing. I know we have the red-tailed hawks that I see. I see across the street from my house, actually. Maybe that's why all the screwy rabbits and squirrels haven't been around lately. They've been picked off, man. Maybe they've been picked off, yeah. Volunteers were able to band 532 of the young ones so they can be tracked. The population growth has not been by leaps and bounds, but we are definitely going to see them continue to grow. That's good. I'm always happy when any creature that's endangered makes a comeback with our help because their demise is caused by humans. So when humans help to help to make them, you know, survive and do a comeback, I'm very happy about that. I am beginning to believe that reincarnation is probable. Reincarnation? Since we are bombarded with pictures and accounts of our Governor Christie and his newfound cohort, Donald Trump. Yeah, his new buddy. I think we should welcome back Abbott and Costello. Yeah, but maybe... Or Laurel and Hardy. He has more of a Costello look. Give me two cents for a five. Remember when Mr. Bachekaloupe... Bachekaloupe. Lou wanted three bananas. One banana, two banana, and he put them together, three bananas. Costello says, wait a minute, I got two bananas. You remember that episode? Somebody put up the one about the... People's? Susquehanna Hack Company? No, give me two 10s for five. And Costello did it. In other words, he said it fast. Yeah, and he gives them to him. And then he turns around and he thinks about it and says, wait a minute. Of course, the big difference is, Abbott and Costello were funny and acted as con man and buffoon. Christy and Trump aren't acting and either role could be interchangeable. Abbott and Costello could not speak with a venom in their voices and were not mean-spirited. Anyone can see why Christy is supporting Trump all in due time. Yeah, and another person that is not held accountable for, in my opinion, I'm suspicious that it might be a right-wing attempt with racial genocide in Flint, Michigan. The water poisoning, you know? When you think about it, stuff like that is usually not due to something like that. It's due to money. That's what it always means. You mean like a company that had toxins that didn't want to spend more money to properly dispose of their waste and they paid somebody off and they just dumped it. And in the first place, it was cheaper to get water the way they did with the lead than before. So that was part of it, too. But it's usually money. Isn't that how General Electric years ago was allowed to dump PCBs in the Hudson River? Yeah. Because it's easier to just dump it than to properly dispose of toxic waste. Love canal. You know, it's federal. Yeah. I hear the nuclear power plant that supplies New York City has been leaking radiation. Our Fukushima. The U.S. Fukushima. And it had to go be in our region. Well, of course. It's only a few, like 10 or 20 miles away. Why couldn't it be where there's a lot of teabaggers and evangelicals and right-wing voters why did it have to be in the blue state of New York? I don't know how blue. Sometimes I wonder how blue the northeast is after what happened in Massachusetts with the primary. And New Jersey with Mr. Governor Christie. They re-elected them. They complain about them all the time, but they re-elected Chris Christie. What else can you say about Governor Christie? That hasn't been said before. I can happily say that I never voted for him. Neither have I. He is demonstrating all the personal and political shortcomings his opponents claim that he possessed. A narcissistic bully whose sole purpose is to further his own career. When his campaign for presidency bit the dust, he hooked himself onto Donald Trump's bandwagon and decided to become his lackey. Donald Trump is a narcissistic bully. Yeah. So is Rubio. Two birds of a feather. Except Rubio's got a little boyish look to him. He's still the same thing. Every phrase out of his mouth is when I'm president. When I'm president. When I am president. My little Marco, you're never going to be president. Well, Miami Cubans are very... I was told by people who live in South Florida they do a lot of complaining. They bitch them on all the time and they're very... All right, you got a problem with the Castro regime, but know your definitions, know your political definitions. Castro's, like the late Hugo Chavez and the Soviet Union, they're totalitarian like military dictatorships. They're not real socialists. It's not real socialism and communism. Do not confuse socialism with these things. Always remember. As I try to make people remember. There's another word for socialism. It's called utopia. It's called about... Hillary Clinton likes to say, well, we're not Sweden. You're damn right we're not Sweden. They care about their people. Exactly. Maybe we should be a little more like Sweden. In Norway who wants to pay its people a base salary of like 800 euros a month. A base. You know, it might come today if the job market gets worse. New Jersey has always been a state subject to much ridicule from elsewhere. Could this be the reason Christie tries not to stay in the state too long? When I saw Christie stand next to Donald Trump on Tuesday night, I thought he looked like he might have had buyer's remorse. He looked like he was going to faint. He was staring at him with evil eyes. He looked confused. Like he had a stroke. I don't know. There was an article that Donald Trump made a statement on Twitter that was not very nice complimentary towards Christie. I never got to read it. After Alec Baldwin says that next season will be a new reality show on television. Hopefully Christie also will be looking for a new job. Christie will get his own show on let's say Fox. Guarantee. But his personality could be. And he's got that You know the old J.P. Morgan drawings from the industrial revolution? He was fat. Top hat. And he's holding the big bag of money. You know what I mean? That's like Christie. Like a fat monopoly man. Alright, we're going to take a lunch. Very mean monopoly man. Very mean monopoly man. Now, we're going to take a lunch break and if everything goes right with our technical crew you will hear our commercial voice over artist William Hamilton moral of the third to promo Bill Morrow. If it doesn't you won't but hopefully it'll work out. I got a good lunch to chomp down on too. I made a curried egg salad with the Himalayan pink salt and other things.
