 Greetings, this is James P. Metcass and Progressive Discussions, and co-hosts of Progressive Discussions, of course, with the Reverend Dr. Williams. What you're looking at now, something I consider very serious. It's proof that, and I knew it was just a matter of time, before the right-wing evangelical zealot religious freaks of the Republican Party would start to destroy our First Amendment right and our freedoms. The fascist stormtroopers, the fascist oligarch of the right-wing. Now here you have a company called BackPage.com, which is similar to Craigslist, okay. Craigslist, I believe, was forced to eliminate their adult section. Now here you can see, if you scrutinize it closely, and you can hit the pause button too. On BackPage, the entire adult section is censored. This just happened recently, okay, this past week. It is censored. The government has censored the entire adult section of BackPage.com. This is all part of these religious, fanatic, cultist freaks of the right-wing that not only have a war against the poor, they have hang-ups about sexuality, okay. They try to control a woman's body, of course, a woman's vagina, a woman's body. In my opinion, a woman or a man has the right to do whatever they want with their body. It's their body. And people have a right also to pornography, okay. So this is just the beginning. This is very serious because censorship is bad. It can target anybody, and it can get worse and worse, and it will get worse. You know, it's like a corporation that starts at downsides. They get one sucker, one employee to do the job of three people, and then before you know it, they lay off more, and then one employee does the job of four people, five people, until the person works to death. Well, this can only get worse. Censorship is a bad thing. It's fascism. These religious nuts are part of a cult of the right-wing. They know nothing about the Bible, and I guess it's about power, really, because they're already multi-millionaires and multi-billionaires, but you know, you have a right to pornography. You have a right to sexuality. You have a right to do what you want in the privacy of your own home and with your bodies. But that's it. Free advertising on backpage.com has followed the same path as craigslist.com with no adult section, not even massages, not even massages, body rubs, even that censored. Heaven forbids, heaven forbid, somebody should get a therapeutic massage followed by a happy ending. Oh, gee, that's the end of the world, isn't it? Meanwhile, the right-wing politicians are so corrupt that when they die, they need to be screwed into their graves. I mean, according to the Bible, there is no such thing as a tiny sin, a small sin, a medium size sin, and a big sin, sin is sin. So there are no positions to throw stones in a glass house, but they do, all right? Now we will continue at the beginning of our show for this week's Progressive Discussions. Okay, we're here. Another week has flown by. And I mean flown by. Yeah. Welcome to Progressive Discussions. Okay. You have just seen, of course, with myself narrating it, the video clip of evidence that the right-wing evangelical, zealot, cultist, religious freaks have started with their agenda of censorship. First they did it with, you're familiar with Craig's List and Backpage, they offer free, classified ads. They started with Craig's List way back when by censoring their entire adult section. And now they have done it with Backpage.com. They censored the entire adult section, the entire adult section, which includes, believe it or not, body rubs, massage. So if you're a massage, even if you're a legitimate massage therapist, you cannot advertise under massage, because they have put that in the adult section. With all the evil and serious corruption, deep corruption going on with American politicians in Washington and our crony capitalist system, with all this corruption going on, heaven forbid a person who gets a full-body massage should also get a happy ending. Oh, jeez, heaven forbid. What? Happy ending? Yeah, a hand job. Now this is only the beginning, because censorship is like a snowball going down a mountain, domino effect. They start off with, you know, it's like companies downsizing. First one employee is now doing the work of two, and then they download that download. Downsized again, the sucker's doing the work of three, and four, and five. When does it end? They come after other things. Three times the Republicans get the power, and that's what they do. They have, number one, go back to Reagan and Meese. This whole thing, he had the Meese commission against pornography. Now their excuse, according to BackPage.com, is they want to prevent child prostitution. Now isn't it funny that they pick that as an excuse to ban and censor the entire adult section? There are many people that are over the age of 18, I would say probably in the 90 percentiles that are adults, consenting adults. They just want to pick some reason out of a hat. Yeah, whatever the sensitive thing is at the moment. Right. The sensitive issue now is the pedophile, underground pedophile human trafficking. So they'll take that because it's popular, and evidently they're using that as an excuse to ban everything involved in the adult industry. And that's that. I mean, as far as I'm concerned, adult human beings, men and women, have a right to do whatever they want with their body, and people have a right to pornography. So I guess it's war against the poor, which goes back to ancient times. It's war against sexuality, which is kind of a Protestant, puritanical, stupid way of thinking, maybe even back to the right wing Catholic Church. A war against sexuality, war against the poor, I already said that, and of course a war against homosexuality. And there was one more thing that the right wing are against, I'm trying to think. Well, they're against an open mind, the ability to free thinking. Oh yeah, they're really against a good public education for the masses. They want to privatize education because they want to dumb down the masses. There you go. The 40 kings and the queens. Right. But they're all, these are all like hallmarks of fascism, aren't they, a lot? Don't educate the public, burn the books. Well, when you take it down to its instigree, it's usually associated with a religion, whatever the religion is. Yeah, a made up religion. In America, it's, you know. It's not based on what's in the Bible. It is a lot, much of the history of the Catholic Church is not based on what's inside the Bible either, but I'm saying it's a cult. It's, you know, it's unproven. They can't prove that they're not... Tradition. Tradition. Each one has their own tradition. Male, man, traditions of man, they all have their own traditions. The Mormons have theirs, so on and so forth. The, they can't prove their God exists. There's no facts involved, there's no science involved, so what does Donald Trump do? He appoints people that are raving evangelical, zealot lunatics, like Vice President Pence and Jeff Sessions, who claims that the separation of church and state is unconstitutional, which is a lie. So why even have a constitution? If the constitution is unconstitutional, then why have a constitution? You know, they use, they make up the rules that suit their agenda, and their agenda is greed, is money, and the power to control the population. So I mean, and now we have the sellout demon crats, and one of them is Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey that voted against Bernie Sanders' plan of providing affordable prescription drugs for the poor in America, involving Canada, I believe, and they don't want, not only did they gut out the previous pre-illness stipulation, what they call it, a pre-existing conditions They just started to gut out Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, pre-existing conditions, which means... He said he was going to leave that and not giving coverage for like having a pre-existing condition, keeping your children on your policy until they turn 26, and there's something else we can do at the moment until they turn 26. So somebody, God forbid, has a diagnosis of cancer, and they need to choose a new health insurance policy that's connected to their Medicaid and or Medicare, they won't be discriminated against. Right, in this case the Republicans want these people to be discriminated against. Right, I could be safety insurance company money. That's catastrophic care. Profit, it's all about, it's profit over people and the planet, and I don't know how Donald Trump's going to keep all his campaign promises, because his cabinet, they're all monsters, one is worse than the other, unless you're Stingy, greedy, rich person, then they're all angels to you, but this is what we have it, and in a way, see there's a little bit of a silver lining to the cloud in the fact that the Democratic Party today has been really exposed for what it is when all those Democratic senators voted against affordable prescription drugs for the poor. Now that shows you who they really represent and who they work for. So this is even more reason to start a new third progressive party, but it has to be high volume. You have to have all the progressive heavy hitters in the spotlight come together. You have to have the legions of former or current Bernie crats, you have to have mass amounts of high volume warm bodies in order for the media to take notice and give a third progressive party any face time at all. You can't have what Jill Stein has with the Green Party, whatever she's doing, and expect the TV to somebody to interview her on mainstream media, it's not going to happen because she doesn't have the volume of humans, humanoids, but if progressives got together now, like Bernie Sanders and what the hell's his name, Jeff Weaver, everybody connected to the progressive movement, either the underground media like Democracy Now, what's her name, Amy Goodman, all of them, all of them, Sank of the Young Turks, Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, that guy Baraka, you know everybody who is non-establishment must come together, otherwise no one will know that this party exists and being that most American imbeciles watch mainstream television only and mainstream news because they just don't have the brain cells to seek out the real hard-hitting truth like we do, it's just going to be hidden, it's like having a restaurant in a bad location where nobody could see it, so it's really furious, I mean infuriating that that many Democrats voted against it, and bad days are coming, it is the Democrats have literally become the opposite side of the same right-wing coin, corporatist coin, and I have no idea why US troops are heading for the Russian border in Poland right now, they're in for a rude awakening if they think Russia and or China is like a waging war in the Middle East, they're in for a very rude awakening because you're talking about superpowers man, with a lot of people and technology, even China alone, you think China's a pushover, they've been having a successful space program and the US media never mentions it, they know more than Americans think, believe me, they're not just reverse engineering, they have capabilities to do a lot of serious damage, so I think they shot down one of our satellites, they're trying to destroy the GPS satellites, because we depend on them so much during war games and stuff like that, we depend too much on them. Then Ronald Reagan called that Star Wars? No, that Star Wars was to shoot down missiles coming at us. Well, we have satellites. Mr. Reagan believed that when you shoot off a missile you can recall it. Hey boy, hey boy, come back, come back, come on, come on back and get in your silo. Dinner time. I forgot to ring the lucky number seven bells for the show. This is actually the pre-Inaugural, I don't know if I called last week's show the pre-Inaugural, but it's not the 20th yet. This is the real pre-Inaugural progressive discussion show where Barack Obama says bye-bye, I don't know if he's going to retire, if he's going to live in Hawaii? Not yet. I would pick Hawaii over the Chicago area because they have brutal winters near Chicago and there would be people who keep shooting each other. Hawaii's paradise man compared to Illinois to Chicago is very smart. He's got to stay in Washington with his daughter in college. She's in college, so maybe you'll stay in the Washington area. They did buy a house. I know Hillary Clinton had a place in Washington when she was Senator, I don't know if she still has it, but I guess if the man wants to stay relevant and his wife has future political aspirations, Michelle, they can't go hide out and on the island of Maui or anything like that. They got to stay near a major city. I know it's a lot of neoliberals that were Hillary supporters are all ecstatic about encouraging Michelle Obama to run for president in 2020, but don't forget now, in four years Bernie Sanders is not going to be senile, not yet. And there's no way he'll be the oldest that ever ran. Yeah, but I have a feel he's going to be still sharp as a tack because he's sharp as a tack now, but I'm not voting for a person running as a Democrat. Never again. After what happened with the DNC and Wasserman Schultz and they're not they're not they're not giving a element, Ellison Ellison the job of progressive to run it. I'm done for signing on grata two parties on my voting for either either either side. Anyway, any who any the floor is yours. This weather we're having is insane. It gets mild 60 degrees then it's 60 67 then it's freezing again. It goes down to the below 20 20 whatever then it's mild again. I don't wonder people are getting sick around here. Well, let's get rid of January and February. I just want to plug I just want no pun intended folks plug the leak a chain up and down up and down the entire east coast of dollar stores. Little consumer tip they got a big shipment of LED lights. Hey, this is a 60 WUB. This is a nine uses nine Watts of electricity and it puts out 60 Watts of of light and it says the lumens is 800. That's so good. And last up to 22.8 years or 20 or 25,000 hours, whichever comes first. Alright, so you got you got nine 120 volts medium base nine Watts of electricity delivering eight 800 lumens. And I got it for a buck. I got one for me. I may go back. Hmm. Maybe get half a dozen of them because they're a buck each. I'm telling you, the wheels are turning with the consumer advocates from progressive discussions. LED is the way to go brother. LED is the way to go. I want to also announce that you will be seeing our our number one administrator on our Facebook group on sense and hard hitting truth. The sensible sage, Sash Boyle is back again. When we have our break for lunch, he will he will be giving his monologue and we have a new Google community on Google. It's like it's like a web page. It's like a Facebook page, but it's on Google. It's called progressive discussions. Also, we have a progressive discussions Facebook page that you should go and join, you know, click like to it. And then we have a new Google community named progressive discussions. And of course, a shout out to Sash Boyle. And let's see. That's about it. Okay, go ahead. Donald Trump took questions from the media on Wednesday for the first time since he was elected president on November 8th. And he quickly put to rest the idea that he is a rapidly approaching presidency would fundamentally change his tone style or basic approach to issues and the media. Donald Trump will be Donald Trump. He's not going to change. That's what he's saying. Trump through a lawyer said he would not put his assets in a blind trust. The traditional way in which presidents wall off their private interests, like their public obligation, like Elizabeth Warren mentioned the words blind trust when she was speaking to Dr. Ben Carson. Yeah, he's going to fix up high Danny. You notice how she was needling him trying to get trying to trying to clarify what he really wants to do. Well, yeah, because, you know, back in Reagan's day, Jack Kemp, they put him in charge of it. And Kemp was, you know, he was supposed to be for people. Jack Kemp, the guy was the real big full head of hair. Yeah, he was a football player or something. But he was the Republican. Yeah. Trump was also quick to note that as presidents it is impossible for him to legally speaking have a conflict of interest and therefore any steps he takes to separate his business interest from his presidency were above and beyond the call of duty. This was a similar line of logic used by Trump's lawyer to explain how he would deal with the emoluments clause. Trump refused to offer a timetable for the release of his tax return. Oh, he still hasn't done that. No. He insisted that the only people who care about his tax returns are reporters. Not true. He's dodging it. That's evidence that no one cares about his tax returns. Trump offered this. I've won. Well, we all know he did. He was far from paying his fair share in income taxes. But so is every American corporation. You know, it's funny Donald Trump put in charge of the federal department in charge of Native American affairs. The guy who was running the Dakota pipeline, you know, representing the oil company. Now talk about the Fox guarding the hand house. It's all throughout the cabinet. That's why I said monsters, a cabinet of monsters. This is like a horror movie come true. Exactly. Given the evidence to condemn Russian president Vladimir Putin, Trump did not. Instead, he said it was an asset that Putin allegedly likes him. Well, you know, he likes his style. He likes his outspokenness, you know, and pooters like that. When asked directly about the Russian hacking of the election, Trump acknowledged it was probably Russia, which is further than he has gone before. Well, of course he is not upset about that because he won the election. But quickly pivoted to emphasize that Putin wouldn't be doing these sorts of things under a Trump administration. Well, you can go further and say the same thing about anonymous and WikiLeaks because of the nature of the Clinton dynasty. That's what and the DNC rigging the election. That's what encouraged them to hack and expose. Remember, WikiLeaks did not write those emails. Same thing with Edward Snowden when he discovered the dirt back then. The NSA, the dirt. Trump began his news conference with somewhat surprising words of praise for the media and their discernment in not publishing allegations in a Russian dossier. Now he's praising the media before he was cursing out the media. BuzzFeed did publish the full dossier even though the allegations are unsubstantiated and have not been corroborated by any major news organization today. But by the end of the news conference, Trump was back to his old media hating self. He shouted down CNN's Jim Acosta. Yeah, I know. He repeatedly tried to ask him a question, eventually telling Acosta that he was fake news. Yeah, he didn't want to talk to him, but then he took the question from the Breybart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Breybart. Breybart. Breybart, Breybart. Yeah, you know, he's like the weather, man. You know, he's all over the place. You know, he's, I heard he, I heard he, he's on Twitter arguing with people at 6 30 a.m. I have my first dream probably at 6 30 a.m. Those four examples and those were only the four that immediately sprang to mind made very clear that Trump has absolutely no plan to pivot when he assumes the president's. He is who he is. There is no Trump but Trump. And I don't think the Republican, the Republican replacement for anything Obama created. I don't think there is a replacement for anything. You know what I mean? Like their, their game plan that is no real. I don't think they really have any anything like the Affordable Care Act or and they don't at the moment. The economy stimulation of the economy and but hey, they have nothing to do. If you're going to cut, if you're going to cut even more taxes from the rich and corporations and since the jobs are not going to be in the United States, most likely, what are you going to stimulate? What are you going to stimulate? Maybe, maybe the job market for third world country citizens. But that's it. Of course, I've long believed that talk of a pivot or an unveiling of a more presidential Trump, which has been a nonstop subject since it became clear Trump would be the Republican presidential nominee, is an absolute misjudgment. Not only of Trump, but of what his many victories over the past 18 months have taught him. Ask yourself, how many 70 year old men fundamentally changed their personality? Oh, none that I know of. And you know what? I didn't know he was that old. How about 70 year old men who have been extremely successful? Well, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Is there a number less than zero? Hey, if you learn from a father who was a slum lord, I'm sure he learned a lot about underhandedness in acquiring money. That was true even before Trump started to win primaries and caucuses. What his primary win taught him was that he was right and the Republican Brain Trust was wrong. What his general election victory taught him was that he was right and that everyone in the political class, elected officials, consultants, the media was wrong. Why the hell would Trump change his approach to politics and policy after the year he has had? The answer is he would not. For Trump, the ends justify the means. In winning, he showed that everything from tax returns to blind trusts to cordial relations with the media were immaterial to regular people. How can it be bad, wrong, if I won? Is the Trump thought? His news conference on Wednesday proved that basic belief won't be changing when the president-elect becomes the president in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven days. Yeah, from what I understand, Bernie Sanders is giving a big speech at an event tomorrow, around 1 p.m. Sunday. What's tomorrow to 15th? 14th. Tomorrow's the 14th? Yes. January 14, 2017. This is a big event concerning, it's a huge protest against what the Republican Congress has been doing. And oh, by the way, when we break for lunch, you will also see a list of the names of all the Democratic senators that voted against affordable prescription drugs for low-income people. Their names are there, so hit the pause button and see if your senators are part of that list. All right. What's up, Doc? Donald Trump plans to relinquish management of his businesses. But he still intends to retain an ownership stake in his sprawling real estate and branding empire. Conflicts of interest. Trump's adult sons, Donald, Jr. and Eric will run the company, along with a Trump organization executive. Donald Trump will not make any corporate decisions during his time in the White House. No, he'll just whisper into his son's ears. Hey, you notice Elizabeth Warren was asking Dr. Ben Carson if any of the HUD money would go to Trump, Donald Trump in his real estate endeavors. Oh, man. I tell you, the first time I'm proud of her when she questioned Ben Casey. I mean Carson, Ben Carson. What do Carson say? Because he probably will. That's what it's all about. He's just kept going on and on about the unbiased, no partiality, honest way he will run the urban HUD. Well, that's what they said about Jack Kemp, too, you know. And at the end of the curve. No, boy, I just see, and you know what? There was another, there's an investigation going on. I don't know who's doing these investigations, but there's an investigation that just started concerning serious GOP corruption, which none of it surprises me. None of it. Um, hey, by the way, how did, how the hell did a ugly, funny-looking, turtle-faced guy like Bitch McConnell from a stupid redneck state like Kentucky end up being the majority Senate majority leader? How did a character like that, it talks like he has marbles in his mouth. It's incredible, it's incredible that he, that he got re-elected. That's incredible, yeah. Yeah. Geez. Man, they must be real dumb motherfuckers in Kentucky to keep on re-electing the turtle head. Well, yeah, they are, they're on Obamacare. They're on everything. And, and Medicaid and, and, and food stamps. But they vote Republican. And they vote Republican, exactly. Exactly. I know somebody personally who's like that, you know. Trump will put his business assets into a trust. And an ethics advisor will join the company's management team. The advisor, who has not yet been named, will review and sign off on any new business deals that raise potential conflicts of interest. Maybe he'll, maybe he meant he'll put it in a trust, you know, like the support, the garment. He'll put it in a trust. I told you I was going to put it in a trust. Dylan said, that's Trump's lawyer. JJ Dylan, right. Sherry Dylan. Sherry Dylan, he's a wrestling manager. Said the Trump organization will not complete any new foreign deals, but will continue to pursue new domestic business during Trump's presidency. Dylan said Trump's daughter and trusted advisor, Ivanka Trump, will have no role with the company. Trump and his aides say they are establishing a clear, dividing line between his presidency and the business. And note that conflict of interest laws that govern most executive branch employees, do not apply to the president or the vice president. I could actually run my business and run government at the same time, Trump said, Wednesday during a news conference. I don't like the way that looks, but I would be able to do that if I wanted to. Trump said he recently rejected $2 billion worth of business deals in Dubai. I turned it down, he said. I didn't have to turn it down. Send your sons over there. Send your sons over there. Oh dear. Well, I was listening to an old clip when Howard Stern was on, I mean Donald Trump was on a Howard Stern show and his friend kind of like blew the whistle because Donald Trump supposedly stole his girlfriend away from him and somebody Donald Trump personally knows by the name of AJ from, I guess from New York City. And AJ kind of like slipped up and said something about Donald's sexual escapades, said something about Russians. Russians. You know, so it was like a slip up. Hey, he was, I don't know if you want to call ladies man. Playboy. Or womanizer, serial womanizer, playboy, whatever, whatever term you want to give it. Player, you know. Well, that's how it is when you're, when you're extremely rich. You know, all the gold diggers they, you know, Donald kept on saying she, she never loved you AJ. She loved me. Me, I had, she, you know, she called me all the time. Of course. Well, did AJ have any money? Multi-billionaire. Well, not. He probably, if he's, if he's buddy, if he's buddies with Trump, he probably has quite a bit of money, but I don't think he has the, you don't have the, he doesn't have the fame and fortune of a Donald Trump. Well, maybe not. You know, women, women have an obsession with monetary gain or monetary possession. You like the feathered aness? Feathered aness. It's more like there's a bit of prostitution, prostitution in every woman. Huh? Don't sigh. I know, I know you're a little, you're a little politically correct. You don't want to say anything negative about any group. But it's true. They, they are very monetarily aware. Let's put it that way. Continue. Regarding Donald Trump goes to Washington. I do not think I have seen a newspaper article that was such an insult to its readers. Apparently, people who voted for Donald Trump were racists and more. It almost was saying that Trump voters are criminals. That is the mentality of a five-year-old who relies on name calling instead of intellectual capacity. Could it be that voters were tired of the blame game? Every problem in the last eight years was someone else's fault. From Reagan, to Bush, to the Republicans in general, and now the grand finale. Vladimir Putin. You mean scapegoating? Have the Democrats not learned anything yet? Now U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Bob Menendez, New Jersey Democrats. Yeah, him too. I'm, I'm ashamed on him. Are you going to go to the U.S. Senate? Bob Menendez, I think originally from Union City, New Jersey, Hudson County. I suppose it is because he's spending $10 million of his own money on the campaign. And because he has the potential to raise big bucks from his friends at Goldman Street. I suppose it is because he's spending $10 million of his own money on the campaign. To raise big bucks from his friends at Goldman Sachs and Wall Street. Why not look at Assemblyman John Wisniewski, who has a progressive agenda, including single payer health care. Wisniewski is the one looking to the future. The old politics that Murphy promises caused the Democrats to lose many elections in November. If the party wants to attract young and old voters, it must stop doing the same things that God had beat. Yeah, that's for sure. I got him, I got a bug in my head. I am going to go stock up on those LED bulbs. Oh. All right, we have time for one more before break. Plenty of time. Okay, go ahead. The Supreme Court turned away former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura's bid for reinstatement of a $1.8 million verdict in his defamation case against the estate of Mady Seal and American sniper author Chris Kyle. I remember that case. The justices did not comment on Monday in leaving intact a decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to upend the verdict. Ventura, a former seal himself, took issue with Kyle's claim that Kyle punched Ventura at a California bar in 2006 for offensive comments about the seal. Is there eyewitnesses that testify? I don't know. I don't know what to say. There are, I know one thing's for sure. There are very naive young men that believe the bullshit that are told them about the joining the military. And about why they're being shipped to the Middle East or Afghanistan. They believe the lies. They believe the propaganda about why they're there. The last war the United States ever won was World War II and that was the last war where the United States borders were threatened as well as our freedoms. After that, all wars for profit to sum it up in a short sense. The upcoming inauguration of Donald Trump is making me worried. Are we going to have a president or an entertainer? Seems the only thing he is concerned about is mocking people on Twitter or having his name in the headlines. Honestly, if he wasn't on Twitter having tirades and taking tantrums, I wouldn't be as entertained as I've been. I find him to be very entertaining. But not what the cabinet picks. Oh wait, that's a nightmare. That he has won the election. He's backtracking on most of the issues he promised to do. What were we talking about before? He said he would be tough with our adversaries but wants to be friends with Russia. Well, they're not, they're not the adversaries you think they are. For those that think they are, they are our enemies and that they're bad. And this is after Russia took over the Crimea and hacked our elections. Oh yeah, right, they did that. Okay, okay. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. So I don't consider Trump my president. Recent letters to the editors say we should give him a chance and all work together. But why should I? Did the GOP give Barack Obama a chance? Nope. No. They obstructed everything he did or wanted to do. Well, Republicans are hypocrites. They always were. And question is patriotism. You name it, they attack Barack Obama. Anything imaginable. Just like they made a big stink about Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. They, they, they're all one-sided. They, it's like, it's like with the evangelical religious nuts, they're, they're, they only see what insanity is going through their head. You know, they, they only have their agenda. They're not, they're not going to compromise with anybody else. If the GOP worked together with Obama on an infrastructure bill, the country would be seeing many more jobs and a healthier economy. Their only concern was not the good of the country, but to make sure Obama failed on inauguration day. I will take down my flag, except for Memorial and Veterans Days, and not put it up again until he leads off. My goal as U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, said, of Obama is to make Trump a one-term president. Now don't forget people, Barack Obama is also a corporatist, a Democrat, like Cory Booker. Okay, the black man in the White House. Okay, we're not talking about liberal, progressive Democrats. Okay, both parties are bad. Um, we're gonna, we're gonna break soon, right? One more, all right, go ahead. About 15 minutes. Oh, we got time. Oh, I just want to say that I want to give a shout out to my friend and our official craft beer reviewer and enthusiast, Mr. Dave Coulter from our group, Everything is Food, and I will be doing my first live talk show with Mr. Dave Coulter on craft beer tomorrow afternoon, and it will be live via live stream. So shout out to Dave Coulter. All right, go ahead. We all know by now who Donald Trump is. He wasn't an ideal choice for me, but was only one worth a vote, but was the only one worth a vote. Despite his character flaws, the way he's constantly criticized, depicted, and analyzed is the result of his unpolitical makeup. The more he gets trashed, the more he bellows back in an unconventional manner, and this cycle will not stop. We are not used to it. Well, he's going to be our leader. Yeah, dealing with a mass of ego. I know people like that. I know one person in particular that like that. It's just no compromising. It's just, you know, his way or the highway, and he knows everything, and he does everything he does is better. Everything, even his razor blades are sharper than yours, and superior to yours. Everything about him is superior to everyone else. And if you challenge him, he just goes on and on and on, and doesn't really debate you with any logic. That is an insecure person. Sound familiar? Does the person who does not debate with any proof or logic? Yeah, that's an insecure person. Right. And believes that he can get his policies and agendas and thoughts and etc. Over to the other person by either force, screaming louder than the other person. He tries to shout you down, yeah. Shout you down, blow horn, you know. Prevent you from getting your point across, and if you did, does not listen to your point. Everything he does is better. Everything he has is superior, etc, etc, etc. Yeah, I'm talking about William H. Moral III. William Hamilton Moral III. He's like that. Unbelievably fantastic sounding voice, but on a personal level, that's him. None of us know how it will turn out. Very narcissistic and self-centered. All right, go ahead. If Trump becomes a politician by promising the world and then not delivering, he'll be as bad as numerous past leaders have been. But I trust his team. I am willing to wait it out. Hope for their best. It's time everyone gets back to their own business. How do we have time for this one? Okay, go ahead. Question. This question is being asked of Dr. Mimic Oz. Mehmet Mehmet. And Michael Oroisen. Now Mehmet Oz, don't forget, comes from Orthodox medicine. He's a surgeon. I think he might be a cardiovascular surgeon. He is. And the question is... That Oprah Winfrey took a liking to? Yes. My grandfather, 78, always was a positive guy. But he's been pretty down in the dumps lately. Maybe he doesn't feel well. He's been on dialysis and the kidney transplant list for a couple of years now. His blood pressure is high, then low after treatments. He has trouble sleeping. He doesn't move around much. He used to be a basketball player. What can I do to help him out? Answer. When it comes to helping dialysis patients, a couple of things of primary importance. First, make sure he's sticking to his diet. Usually, but check his doctor. But check his doctor. He should be avoiding salt, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium-rich foods. And eating lots of protein. Too much protein is a strain on the kidneys. But that's how it used to be in the old days. But what is he recommending now? But now they are recommending eating lots of protein. Okay. But refrain from the other things. I mean, lowering. Yeah, because they're going to back up. You know? And make sure he's getting plenty of fluids. Now, I know somebody who's on dialysis right now and they hold her fluids in check. They only allow a certain amount. So I don't know. These are changes from what used to be. Yeah, because I have a friend who's on dialysis and that article would be beneficial. Well, you may have it after this show. Okay. Okay. Well, if you want to jot down anything for your other friend. No, I've already given. She already has a copy. He can get fluids, not just from water, but from fruits that his doctor recommends. It'll probably be apples and berries because they have less potassium than oranges and bananas. Yeah, figs are loaded with potassium. Dates, figs, magnesium. You know, it's, it's strange. I mean, these are important minerals. Magnesium, potassium is very easy to get. Magnesium is more difficult to get enough of, but they have to keep their magnesium down to. Yeah, and sodium. Magnesium and a B6 are good for preventing kidney stones. Yeah. Oh, speaking of kidney stones, there's been a lot of articles about sodium bicarbonate being very beneficial for kidney afflictions and involving stones. All right. But it's sodium bicarbonate. That, that's what puzzles me. Sodium bicarbonate. Well, bicarbonate, you know, is a, is a. The body reacts to it differently than just sodium chloride. No, it, it. Alkalizes the body? Yeah, well, not alkalizes per se, but lowers the acidic levels. Because when I, when I used to have aquariums, tropical fish, the, when you test the pH of the water, the, they would give you a bottle of something. If the water was too alkaline and then they would give you a bottle, they would give you sodium bicarbonate if the water was too acid. Yes, yes. So as far as aquariums go, the alkalizing remedy was for acidic water, it was sodium bicarbonate. You know, so maybe the body reacts differently to sodium bicarbonate if a person has kidney problems. Anyway, finish. Second, ask his doctor about exercise. We know that may sound counterintuitive for someone with kidney failure, but a recent multi-center study published in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology found that for people on dialysis, a simple personalized, home-based exercise program significantly improved their cognitive functioning, raised their levels of social interaction, and improved their kidney disease. The six-month program consisted of a six-minute walking program, three consecutive two-minute intervals each day, and a sit-to-stand exercise repeated five times a day. Although the study had dialysis staff members supervising the exercises, with his doctor's input, you could help your grandfather do them and help him track his improvement over six months of training. Since he was a basketball player, you may be able to light some competitive fires. And when you can't be there in person daily, call him, asking him to read his pedometer. That's it. Well, a sit-to-stand exercise can be done holding resistance. It could be a sack of potatoes. It could be a sack of rice. It could be a pair of dumbbells. It could be your grandchild in your arms or something. It could be anything. And you just keep on, they're like, it's like doing squats. Sit-to-stand, you know, I'm sitting and then you stand and you sit and you stand. That's actually, that is a very easy to explain exercise for people that don't exercise. Now my mother says to me, how come you have so much more energy than I have? I have no energy. I says, my, I exercise six days a week. You're sedentary. This is why, you know, you'd be surprised how much vitality exercise gives you. Activity. Use it or lose it. All right, we're going to cut for break for lunch. And like I said before, you'll be joined by the sensible sage, Sash Boyle and Promo and hit the pause button and read if you must. We'll catch you later. Okay, welcome to another edition of Uncensored, Hard Hicking Truth. Coming at you for this week, ending in 1-14-17. I'm Sash Boyle and let's get to it. Golden showers. Trump decided that he's going to rail against media and support fake news. And fake news comes at him and the report of him being bought out and beholden. And I think being blackmailed by the Russian government who has videos of him peeing, getting peed on by hookers or paying hookers. They're a Russian, I don't know. Anyway, instant karma coming at you, Trump. The right wing is trying to get rid of and gut ethics committees, setting the stage to legitimize corruption, giving the robber barons of 100 years ago run for their money. CIA versus WikiLeaks, who are you going to trust? Are you going to trust the organization that led us into Vietnam and Iraq? Or are you going to trust the guy that exposed the corruption in our political process this year? Right wingers can't overthrow Obama here because of the filibuster of the Democrats in the Senate. So they decided they're going to go ahead and gut it, basically rendering it ineffectual, committing genocide against the American people, and screwing over their own Republican governors who are going to have to answer why they can't cover their own people anymore. So hadn't thought it through the digital right wing, but they're not known for thinking things through. US and NATO are ramping up on the borders of Russia, kind of coincides with the whole Russian hacking thing. So something to think about is that we want, do we want World War III because of certain segments in our government that want it for some ridiculous reason? Andrew Cuomo screws over the poor and uses a cover story of helping out students. But we see through it Andrew, stop taking away legitimate coverage for the poor. The right wing revealed to be idiots in the Senate confirmation hearings. As we suspected, they don't really care about the law. They don't care about consumers. They don't care about hiding, Exxon hiding information on climate change. They don't care. They don't care. 13 Democrats screwed over their constituencies by voting for, not voting for lower prices for pharmaceuticals, Cory Booker being the biggest neoliberal in progressive clothing. And lastly, but not leastly, Comey, the FBI director did hold information which would have removed Hillary so Bernie could have got the nomination. We would probably be living in a progressive world, not a right wing fascist world here in the United States. Anyway, that's the top 10 news things for this week. Hope you guys enjoyed it. And if you like it, let's keep doing this on sensor hard hitting truth. Coming at you, Sasha Boyle from California. Peace. This is James P.

And I'm assuming you saw that list of Democratic senators that voted against we the people, against the little guy. Bernie Sanders is furious with them. Well, at least it's a wake-up call about him trying to save the Democratic party. Seven lucky bells for the balance of this show. For decades, there have been strong individuals who have talked about the problems in the Washington political swamp. However, with no good leadership, the talk amounted to nothing. Many people doubt that Donald Trump will accomplish any real changes in this swamp. Well, the election amounted to the same nothing? These doubters should remember a quote from Alexander the Great who conquered most of the no world about 2,300 years ago. I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep. I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion. He's overrating the general. Well, my message to Donald Trump, go get him. Well, there are a lot of tea baggers out there that many of them don't have a pot to piss in. Excuse me, don't have a pot to piss in that still believe all that right-wing malarkey about how to stimulate the economy, about the big lie called trickle-down economics, and about demonizing big government because privatizing everything has proven not to work. Well, it doesn't work for us. Oh, it works. It certainly works for the company that you, you, in other words, if they privatize social security, it certainly works for the company who gets that to administer it, doesn't it? Yeah. It's like when Paul Wachowinski said he was glorifying and bragging about how great the industrial revolution was. But he's a businessman. He owns like three restaurants in Perth, Australia. So if you're coming from financial, being financially independent, then you're going to say you're going to like how you got there. Oh, the industrial revolution was a very positive thing for everyone. No, it wasn't. If you have money and you're a business owner, yeah, not a mom and pop business owner, but, you know, big business, big business. Last October, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks said he was going to release damaging emails of Hillary Clinton because she wanted to drone him. Oh, they want to drone everybody who disagrees. The emails were released and he is now saying that neither Russia nor Vladimir Putin had anything to do with it. But our CIA says without releasing proof, Russia was responsible for those emails. The CIA does not have to cite proof because our media and a majority of Americans believe them, even without proof. President-elect Donald Trump is finding out that if Americans don't automatically believe our government, they are called conspiracy theories. Right, and therefore nuts. Or worse. So he now is having second thoughts. But accepting governmental opinions without facts has bad consequences. President George W. Bush told us in 2002 that Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction. Well, he did use nerve gas against the Kurdish rebels, against the Kurdish civilians. And who sold them the gas? I think the U.S. did. Thank you. But as far as weapons of mass destruction that would be a world threat, they never found it. As what was her name, the Secretary of State, the black woman under him? Oh, Condoleezza Rice? Condoleezza, yeah. She didn't want it to be a mushroom cloud. A mushroom cloud. Yeah. Well, you know, Julian Assange did prove. Hold on, dude. Julian Assange did prove that the DNC in fact rigged the primaries against Bernie Sanders. He did come out with evidence about that. And WikiLeaks never had to retract anything that it publicly stated. But Hussein did not have such weapons. And yet Bush was still able to get us to attack Iraq in 2003. Well, you know, I think Cheney was the real boss in that administration. They had their own intelligence set up. That attack had dire consequences for America, costing us two trillion dollars, the deaths of all those five thousand. Oh, but Halliburton made it out like a bandit. The destabilization of the Middle East, and the eventual creation of the ISIS terrorist group. Creation of ISIS, you're right. You know, I was reading some articles where Omar Gaddafi, aside from the positive aspects of what he provided his own people, he wanted to start a new African gold backed currency because, I mean, look, South Africa is just loaded with gold. So he wanted to start a gold backed currency in Africa. And the oligarch, the world oligarch did not like that at all. They did not like that. Just when you thought Donald Trump had already stuck his proverbial Twitter tongue as far out as possibly that he could, he goes even further. Claims that he has information not privy to our intelligence community concerning Russian hacking. I tell you, Alec Baldwin has so much damn comedy material for the next four years. He's probably happier than a pig in shit. Saturday night live, Trump impersonations. This statement is disturbing. Trump comes across as an unwitting conduit for Russian intelligence as he refuses to confront Russian leaner, Vladimir Putin on a matter of crucial importance. Even his most ardent supporters should find his behavior disturbing. His embrace of everything Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does is also suspect. The Netanyahu, yes. When will Trump embrace American interests around the globe? The expansion of Israeli settlements into the occupied territories is one of the greatest impediments to peace in the Middle East. It will be interesting to see Trump try to navigate a conflict between Israel and Russia. Perhaps over Iran's nuclear program, which side will he support? Which side will he support? I don't know. I don't know. You don't know? Oh boy, I tell you, definitely check out our new Google community for the rest of the discussions. It's very unique. It looks great. It has a realistic, uh, eulog, the fireplace burning, eternally burning. Cool. The fireside chat. Eternally burning. We bring back the fireside chat here at progressive discussions. It gives it a very warm and cozy look. Don't try to, uh, roast any smoke sausage on it or marshmallows because it won't cook. It is a cyber eulog. Anyway, what do you got there? I forgot my, my, my tartan, a beautiful tartan, uh, scarf. I'm going to have to wear it before I get here, so I don't forget. Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey is attacking the free press. Yeah, he says he's the chubby version of Donald Trump. He's promoting a bill to allow municipalities to avoid requiring the publication of public notices, thus cutting off a vital revenue stream for newspapers. It is his way of retribution for the excellent investigative reporting by the record that exposed his corrupt administration and his total failure as governor. You see, the free press is an enemy to the right wing. They don't want it. That's the reason why they don't want it. But now, you know, the, the, uh, the key words, the, uh, catchphrase is fake news. So if you hit a raw nerve with the truth and they don't like it, it's fake news. Where are you from? CNN? I don't want to talk to you. Fake news, fake news, fake news, fake news. That's what he did the other day. Fake news. With a constant, yeah. You're fake, fake network. Somebody else will do the same thing. What? MSNBC? I don't, no, I don't want to talk to you. Fake news, fake news. Although he is already rivaled by many New Jersey residents, excuse me, reviled, not rival, reviled, it's a negative word, reviled. It is time the record took the gloves off. Use bold headlines to list Christie's actions and inactions that have had such devastating consequences. On the state and its citizens. Well, did they take the gloves off yet? No. Or their pussies? They're pussies. Just like that, that, that, that, that pussy ass, spineless news, 12 New Jersey. Are we smiling from ear to ear when they talk about Republicans and, and Chris Christie? Never a discouraging word from them. They're, they're, they're, uh, pucillanimous pipsqueaks and, uh, I guess, uh, sycophants. Sycophant. I hate the sycophant. That's a brown-noser. I hate it. Ticketing sycophants. Speaking of Christie. That's a suffering succotash. The idea that anyone would subscribe to anything to help Governor Christie is ludicrous. Ludicrous. The state of New Jersey has lost so much money, paying for him to run around the country in the interest of getting himself another job. Add to that the cost of Bridgegate. Most people probably feel that any profits from a book he writes should revert to the state treasure. Why should he be allowed to profit from a book deal based on what he did for us? Enough is enough. Well, why use taxpayers' money for your legal fees concerning Bridgegate? Yeah. Because they can. You know politicians in America are never held accountable. Really accountable for anything. Hey, you didn't see not one, uh, Wall Street person, uh, go inside of a prison cell, have you? No. You know? Or politician? No. Americans don't hold anybody accountable. They're not like Europeans who revolt for real. Justice is never served if you're, uh, politically affluent, powerful, wealthy. With control of Congress and the White House, Republicans now have the power to overturn Obamacare. But they have yet to describe what they were replaced with. Death. Since 2010. The GOP majority in the House has voted more than 60 times to overturn Obamacare. But we have no clue! What to expect? I saw a very funny political satire cartoon of Donald Trump visiting someone in a hospital. And the person that's in a hospital bed is worried about their, uh, losing their Affordable Care Act coverage. So Obama said, I mean, uh, Donald Trump says to the patient, don't worry, you will be covered. And then it shows the grave. It shows Donald Trump covering, you know, the casket with soil, with the shovel. Oh, you'll be covered. Well, uh, uh, Ryan, Paul Ryan, was having a little town meeting the other day. And speaking to this guy in the audience, and the guy in the audience, is alive today because of Obamacare. I'm sure many are. And Paul Ryan absolutely lied on a stage that he will be taken care of. And we will replace it with something better. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Yeah, you're a funeral cost. We'll cover you. You'll be covered. Now, the Republicans are saying they will not announce changes for about two years. Because there is no change. If they don't have changes to announce in two years, they don't have anything. They just, they just said they have to repeal it as a priority as soon as they get in power because they have an obsession with shrinking the government down to nothing and privatizing everything. And making Obama look insignificant during his end years. Well, I think that was just a racial thing. Honestly, I gotta be honest, you know. But, but, you know, I mean, nowadays the way Democrats really are, I don't care. Let them all slug it out. If Republicans had something positive to present as an Obama alternative, they would surely present it on day one. Midterm elections are in two years. If their replacement favors insurance companies over the public good, they will stall announcing their plan to protect their seats. Meanwhile, insurers and hospitals and the public will be in turmoil. Well, see, that the whole thing with capitalism, whether it be crony capitalism or not, is their objective is profit. I mean, it's a business. Healthcare under capitalism is a business. And then that means that the patients will suffer. And with insurance companies, with that way of running their companies, that way of thinking, the insured will suffer. And that's just how it is. It's not, you know, the safety and well-being of the people who give pay for merchandise or services or premiums. It's not their priority. These people are not their priority. So it's always profit over people on the planet. And it's always the system since the Industrial Revolution has always been rigged for the rich. You know, and that's the truth. Unless you are rich yourself and you're associated path and you feel no remorse for the have-nots and you don't care about the have-nots, then capitalism and the Industrial Revolution are just peachy keen. They're wonderful, depends who you're talking to. Now, does that mean that there are no rich people that have a conscience and care? I'm not saying that. They're not many. I've got news for you. There's always an agenda when somebody comes out and says, I am a philanthropist. I give to many worthy causes. Yes, it's a tax write-off. Bill Morrill gets upset when I mention that. He says I'm being negative. Look at the point that they're giving that where they don't have to give. I say, you know what? By rights, they're not obligated to give to a charity, but they are supposed to be obligated to pay their fair share in taxes, which they're not doing. They may not be obligated to share the prosperity of the company with the employees, the asshole with the hell's his name, Shatner. I don't know how to pronounce his name. The douchebag that's the CEO of Papa John Pizza says he's not obligated to trickle anything down, which debunks right there, trickle down. So he's not obligated to give anything to his employees. He's not obligated to give the charity, but the ones that do give are doing it for tax reasons. And the customers are not obligated to buy his products. There you go. It's called boycotting, which unfortunately Americans don't do. They could buy Little Caesar. They could buy Domino. They could buy any and all around small piece of insurance in every town in New Jersey. I mean, you could say that to any CEO. You could say that to the Walton family of Wal-Mart. You ever hear the word boycott? You want to be smart ass? Guess what? There's a big plan. I mean, there is a movement. I can't think of a better word. There is a movement out there for we the people to simply boycott. So we're not obligated to spend money in your stores. So if you want to be a wise ass about it, hey. Change of pace. Tomato paste. My husband of five years has confessed to affairs that resulted in two children. Oh, so he had affairs, but he did not use contraception. He let the scum guppies fly. Fly like an eagle. To the sea. Fly like an eagle. Let the spirit carry me. Time keeps on slipping. The sperm keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping. I'll purve vagina. I suspected something was up. When after a year of marriage, he seemed distant. We are almost 15 year age difference. I never in a million years thought he would do something like this. Yeah, sure. A few months ago. No red flags. He started disappearing again. Oh, again. At first it was a day here and a day there. Then it became weeks. It's like when Ralph Crandon used to have late night poker games at the lodge. He didn't use any excuse. Oh, I'm working late at the office. Yeah, right. I finally confronted him. He confessed about the affairs. Oh. He claims the mother of the newborn is a prostitute. Oh, geez. And that it was a mistake. The prostitute had the baby? Doesn't that kind of destroy the career of the prostitute? He wants to be involved in the three year old little girl's life. Oh, boy. But not the newborns. At that point I told him. Get a paternity test. He needed to leave and remove his belongings from the house. She's a hooker, man. Get a paternity test. Yeah, the wife doesn't want to catch any STDs. My friends say that legally I can't put him out of the house he owned before we were married. Yikes. However, he did not. Excuse me, however he did buy a home during our marriage. I accidentally found that out. It's where the three year old lives. You better find out that's really his kid. I feel I am entitled to something. I asked him to have the older child's mother move. But he refused. He has unprotected sex with a prostitute and he's married, man. He goes home to his wife after unprotected sex with a prostitute. Where does that leave me? With nothing. I don't know what to do. I don't have money for a lawyer and have nowhere to go. Please advise, dear AB. Well, the case is in her favor. I know that's for sure. Your friends mean well. But you need a more informed source of information than they can offer. Because divorce laws vary from state to state, go online to women'slaw.org. Search for divorce in Pennsylvania. You will find basic information about divorce laws in your state. Which I think you will find interesting. Yeah, everything's no fault. That sucks. If somebody is guilty of something and they do something bad, they should pay the consequences. Restitution. No fault. My ass. Restitution. Restitution. Restitution. I like that word. It's like the word indigenous. I like saying it. I want restitution. I want restitution. Yeah, no fault car insurance. No fault marriage. What is this no fault? How would people ever learn their lesson if there's no restitution? You tell me. I'm a woman. You see this chilele? I'm a woman. It's black thorn. Oh, I'm sorry. I got carried away. Place marriage. My first marriage was to a woman. Monge. Monge. Who hurt me deeply by lying and cheating. Monge. Monge. Oh, she mean a lesbian marriage? I have now married to a man. Oh, she convoyed it. Who even with his faults is a wonderful husband. Maybe she can have the first mixed marriage. Maybe she can have both of them. My thing is, I am still strongly attracted to women. Fight them all and live in the same place. I consider myself to be bisexual. There you go. Get a king size bed. Get a nice zebra blanket or a throw. You know, or leopard skin with disco ball in the middle of the ceiling. Get all the chicks and your husband there and have a ball. When my husband notices that I look at women, I'm honest and I tell him what I admire. He wants a threesome? About a particular woman. What I leave out is that I'm turned on by them. Monge. Monge. He is not open to my activity. Actively, excuse me, being bisexual. Oh, he married a threesome. Nobody twisted his arm to marry him. Is it all right for me to fantasize? Oh, so he doesn't want to participate? Even if the other woman takes care of him, too? He doesn't want that? He doesn't want one of those unconventional alternative open marriages. He's a traditionalist. A traditional love romance. Is it all right for me to fantasize when I'm intimate with him that he's a woman? What? Hold on. He's transgender? He's a woman? She's fantasizing when she's making love with him that he's a woman. Why doesn't he dress in drag? Why doesn't he put a wig on? Because he doesn't want to participate. In her fantasy? In her fantasy. Then she can have the best of both worlds. If he gets a close shave and puts lipstick on, I make up in a wig. Where's Panties? I know some people fantasize about being with a celebrity or a more attractive make, but is it all right to fantasize about someone of a different gender? Let me tell you something. I knew this girl back in the day from the Golden Age at Disco. She was very pretty tall, like a model. But you know what? As soon as she opened their mouth, she sounded like Pam Drescher. Oh my God! So, you know, it's not all 100% in the looks. You know what I mean? When they open their mouth, you can't get along with them, or there's no compatibility at all. All right, finish up. Here's Abie's answer. Abie. Your bisexuality is part of who you are. You should make clear to your husband that there's nothing wrong with being bisexual. And people who are can be and are monogamous. But did he know about her bisexuality when he married her? A commitment is a commitment, and you are sticking to yours. Sexual fantasies are normal. And you are right that many people besides yourself fantasize about others of both sexes. Storing sex. Because you don't act on your fantasies. Relax. And enjoy them. And stop flogging yourself. Well, old man, the late great Leonard Nimoy, Mr. Spock says the desire for something, or you could say the fantasy, is much more pleasurable and powerful than actually having that which you fantasize about, that which you desire. Like the pursuit is greater than the possession of the reality of the desire. I'm not quoting you word for word, but that's what he said. And fantasies are more exciting than the reality. Because it happened to me, and I will testify to that fact. You know, once it's been there, done that, and it becomes old hat, the fantasy is like, eh, it loses its effervescence. You know, the wind dies down in the sailboat of life. The wind dies down. The bubbles in the craft beer die out. It's not what it once was. All right. How we doing on time? One more. One more, and that's it. All right, let's go. After reading day after day, reports about how the Electoral College should honor and respect the popular vote by columnists and letter writers to the record, I began to wonder if our citizens realize that we are a republic for very, very strong reasons. To counter the arguments that are cornering the voting obligations of our state electors, winner-take-all is not mandated by the Constitution. And that the founders surely wanted the popular vote to be the deciding factor in our presidential elections. And that Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote by more than 2.5 million votes. And that, there is no logical reason to declare Donald Trump the winner. I offer the following logic. According to the latest Cook Political Report on California, Clinton beat Trump in the popular vote in that state by more than 3 million votes. The popular vote advocates should take a moment and let that sink in. California alone, one state in 50, can choose our president. The United States of America was designed to be represented by a president who was sensitive to every state in the Union. The founders wanted to protect the Union from the tyranny of the majority. Why would any presidential candidate be concerned with the interests of any other state but California? If the popular vote were to elect our president, it would be the end of coalition building. Our senators and House representatives would be fear heads in the long run. There would be no reason to have individual states whatsoever. The founding fathers were very well aware of the history of pure democracies. They knew that if freedom and liberty of the people were top priority, relying only on the popular vote did not work and never has. If we as an Asian want California alone to pick our president, then let's abolish the electoral code. Now, week, there was an article where you had, like, maybe a paragraph left. I did. Yeah, remember when the cameraman had a malfunction and we lost... Well, it disappeared. I knew you were going to say that. Anytime he tells me, we'll pick up where we left off next week. Nobody put it back in my readings. Okay, okay. There's garbage stuff up there. No big deal. See, here's my readings. Right, and there's the garbage. Oh, I'm the one that threw it out. Ah-ha! Anyway, the inauguration will be coming up between this show and our next show, Heaven Help Us All, God Help Us All. Oh, gosh, help me. Help me. Help me, Spock. Help me, Kirk. Yeah, with this cabinet, it's a real-life nightmare. But you know what? You Americans picked it. Yeah, you Americans picked it. Well, remember one other thing, too. A lot of the cabinet members aren't going to do or say they're not going to do or don't want to do some of the things that Trump promised to do. Yeah, they have their own mind. They're totally anti-Trump campaign promises, and they're anti-Trump victory speech promises. They're the opposite of what Donald Trump promised. They are loony tunes. I don't know how they're going to get away with that. Anybody like Sessions, his first name is Jeff, anybody who says the separation of church and state in the Constitution is unconstitutional, is out of his mind. Okay, have a good, safe, and healthy weekend and week, and we'll see you next time on progressive discussions. And as you can see, our studio is a humble grassroots revolution show, and that's how we want it to be. Although cold. Yeah, enough for those that have a problem with James getting up off his chair or have a problem with our studio, you can simply go fuck yourselves, seriously. This has been a MegaLife 21 production.
