 And now I present to you James B. Madonna and the reference Dr. William J. Eisenman. Okay. We are back. We are back. This is our pre- Happy New Year's 2016 show, our special New Year's Eve show, pre-New Year's Eve show. Because the next time we will see you, it will be 2016. So therefore I have no choice but to call it that. And it is not just any typical New Year's Eve. 2016 is a very important New Year's Eve because in 2016, in my opinion, there will be one of the most important if not the most important elections in the history of the United States. And the most unique political campaign that I've ever seen, you know, with the participants involved. And when I say the most important election, I've never seen an election with anybody of the likes of Senator Bernie Sanders. The rest of them were very, very run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter, capitalist, two-party system, corporate war types, puppets. Puppets, as you would say also. For those that are up on things and have normal intelligence, yes. They are puppets. There are still puppets today running for president. But there was no candidate that was pushing for a revolution, a major revolution. But unfortunately, Life in America has gotten to the point, the brink, the edge of the cliff, so to speak. Our society is at the edge of the cliff, like lemmings are before they jump into the Pacific Ocean. And we have, based on survival, we have a necessity for a revolution in society and politically in the United States. It's not just making things nicer for the mainstream or making people smile more and happier. It's not just that. It's a very survival of it. So I salute this very special new year, 2016. And I wish everyone a happy and safe New Year's... New Year's... Well, New Year's Day is kind of like a Sunday holiday, you know, Sunday dinner. New Year's Eve is when people get into trouble. Remember, buzz driving is drunk driving. So safety first, and stay overnight wherever you are if you had too much to drink, or have a designated driver, but they will probably get drunk also. Seven bills for the drunken designated drivers. But welcome to Progressive Discussions. That's the name of the show. For those that are consistent watchers of us, you already know that. I'm your host James P. Madonna of Megalife 21, and I would like to introduce my illustrious co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletters Censored in 1977. The one and only, the Reverend Dr. William J. Izaman. How are you feeling of this holiday special show, sir? Yeah. All right, you're there. You're breathing. Okay, the disembodied, mysterious voice of the Reverend Dr. William J. Izaman. We're coming to you from the Newsletters Censored Research Center in Northeastern New Jersey. And I was discussing with other people about when a person is lucky enough to become a celebrity in the spotlight, and they have found fame and fortune. Quite often they take it for granted that that type of career is very fickle and very short-lived, because you might be in the news every day and night, and then all of a sudden poof, nobody hears from you anymore. You know, remember when I used to talk about Justin Bieber all the time? Now nobody talks about it. Mr. Bieber is in the paper today. He did something bad, right? Second page. I didn't even read it. I don't read about Justin Bieber. No, I'm neither do I. I'm just saying that it's a fickle career. The same thing with modeling. The whole thing. Modeling, acting, musical performers. Politics. Politics can be very fickle. You can be popular one year, and then you're gone. Don Juan, and then he's gone. And that's just how it is. Now somebody was sent to prison, I believe, for collecting rainwater on their own property. Oh gee, so I guess government, or should I say corporations now feel that they own the clouds in the sky? That reminds me of what my grandfather used to say when I was a kid. Mark my word, they're going to have a meter on how much oxygen you inhale. You know what? He had foresight with a lot of things. You know, he used to say during pro wrestling TV tapings, he says, Mark my word, it's going, the society will become more and more bloodlust oriented, where they will bring back the Colosseums of Rome. Well, look at UFC, the ultimate fighting. Competition, mixed martial arts, Bellator, they're trying to take each other. They're almost there, yep. They're all, they bleed, they bash each other's faces in. They try to take each other's heads off. It's getting there. So being that my grandfather was a very devoted FDR, Democratic Socialist, he admitted it. He didn't even say Democratic. And he used to tell me about Republicans all the time. And it was a lot of the same things you hear today from Bernie Sanders. So he was, I guess, I guess people like him were, did not get any media attention ever. Going to sneeze. Go ahead. Ha! God bless you, salute. I don't know why they say that. Because they feel your soul went out. When you sneeze. Well, I know, one thing, one thing I notice is that my eyes closed when I sneeze. The sneeze has been likened to an orgasm without the pleasure, okay? Well, the only thing a sneeze does is it removes the desire to sneeze until you have to sneeze again. Well, the orgasm removes the reflex until you want to do it again. Do it again, do it again. I know. But anyway, you know, the same old crap is in the news. Donald Trump continues to say outrageous things. There was a funny cartoon I was looking at where Donald Trump is telling John McCain that, I don't like people that were captured. And then McCain says, well, I don't like people that were draft dodgers. You know, Trump is Trump. You know, I mean, whether or not he's serious about being president of the United States, I don't know. I really don't know. I tend to doubt it, but you never know. I mean, but he is entertainment. He does have his insane following with hatred. You know, he plays upon these people that are very bigoted and they love them for it. But he's a blessing in disguise for Bernie Sanders because people are afraid to debate him in the Republican debates because he'll tear into these people and expose them. Like you did Alan Greenspan. Oh, really? Oh, that's good to hear. He did. No, you saw it upon the video when Alan Greenspan- Oh, you're talking about Sanders? Yes. Oh, yeah. He tore him a new asshole. No, I meant Trump. Like Trump is- Ah, Trump. Trump is- Trump won't debate. He'll call a name. Trump? Yeah, but if he has dirt on some of the other Republican candidates, he'll bring it up. No, I'm talking about a debate between Sanders and a Trump. Oh, forget it. Forget it. That's like Nikola Tesla debating Gary Busey or something. Yeah. No, it's a cakewalk for Bernie Sanders. Or any Republican versus Bernie Sanders is a cakewalk. I mean, Bernie does a great job debating Hillary Clinton. Yeah, he does. You know, but of course, you know, I had that dispute with one of our more intelligent Facebook group members. He feels that it would not be right for people, even if Bernie Sanders has immense, enormous momentum by election day. He feels it would not be the right thing to do to write in Bernie Sanders' name and that we all should go with Hillary if she's nominated. So what you're saying is Americans should settle for the lesser of two evils again, and the corporates' system will continue again and again and again. Nothing will, very little will change. That gentleman knows now anything about voting. When you give your vote to the one person and so do others give their vote to that person, guess what? That person wins. It doesn't matter whether they're Democrat, Republican, independent, or whatever. They win. That's how it's done. That's how it's done. But we've forgotten because we've got the two-party system. The two-party system. Are you the Burger King guy or what? Burger King. He wishes he had a crown like me. No, I am the undisputed, well, we are collectively, the undisputed kings of internet talk radio, progressive internet talk radio. And you could take that right to the bank, brother. Seriously. We pull no punches here. All right. Yeah, he was razzle-dazzling me with all kinds of political psychology, but you simplified it. That's how people win. Exactly. You know, regardless what party they're running under, Ralph Nader is not fond of the idea of people settling in backing Hillary Clinton. And Ralph Nader is usually pretty sharp cookies, usually right on the money. I saw a video with him the other day and he was a little critical of Sanders. Because Sanders said he would back, he might back or will back Hillary if she won the nomination. But he doesn't realize how much momentum he might have by November. Well, maybe he doesn't want to split the party because we put a Republican in. There's that to worry about, too. Well, yeah. Yes, that's a reality that I understand what that gentleman was saying. That is a sad, well, catastrophic reality for the middle class and the poor. But us progressives were to mind, you know, free-thinking independent people. We're sick and tired of settling for the lesser of two evils because it's still evil. I mean, Hillary still wants to keep health care and education privatized. She still believes in privatization. Boucher schools, charter schools. She's still a corporatist Democrat. You know, her and her husband Bill were never progressives. So you're just getting the nicer side of the same coin. And by the way, ever since I was a kid, I always questioned this particular system in voting. And I always thought, why do we need it? And I'm talking about the Electoral College. We don't need it. The popular vote is similar to the progressive tax system. You make more money, you pay more taxes. Well, the person who gets the most votes, like the football team that scores the most points, wins. But the Electoral College was put in when, you know, when travel was a problem. Okay? This isn't a part of the rigged system? No. It was part of the constitutional system that was put into place at the time. Now you don't, that's not the issue anymore. Exactly. In the days of high technology. So we need a constitutional amendment to change it? The same thing we did with voting for senators. Because Al Gore technically won that election with the popular vote. He technically is the winner. And G.W. Bush was selected by a corrupt, was it Supreme Court? That's great. So the actual winner by popular vote was Al Gore. Now you see? But Al Gore didn't get his lawyers down there. Republicans did. Al Gore went out. That's correct. He, not seceded, he backed down, he quit. Gave up. Gave up, whatever words you want to use. Conceded, I'm sorry. The election. Cunt? Yeah, you know what, he is a cunt for doing what he did. Because he could have fought that tooth and nail. Absolutely. You know, I mean, come on. You win by popular vote and they decide, well, the powers that be, don't want you to be president. They want the grand puppet. They don't want to recount. Okay? The Republicans. But you know something? Republicans would fight tooth and nail if they lost an election. They do it all the time. Well, they try not to lose them anymore with a computer voting and gerrymandering and all that other crap that they go, voter suppression. You mean like the voter. They try not to lose anymore. Like the voting booths in, what is it, North, South Carolina that people voted Democrat and automatically the Republican, the Republican got the vote automatically? Exactly. Where was it? I saw a post yesterday, some place did something and long lines. We're at the voting, wherever it was deliberately. There was a little sabotage going on. Sabotage. Yes. Yes. Yes. Oh my gosh. Which they want to do in 2016 too. Oh, definitely. Definitely. I don't know how valid this article is, but if Donald Trump wants Sarah Palin in his cabinet. Secretary of State. No, I can't be true. Really? There was a post up there. They had six of them. Him as president, a vice president he chose, and Sarah Palin, and another and another and another. I think Donald Trump, I think Donald Trump should offer Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol the job as being his official presidential bed warmer. She belongs in a kitchen cabinet. Sarah is starting to put the dog on. You mean she's showing her age? She's starting to show her. She's getting shriveled. Yeah. Yeah. All that coal there up in Alaska. Alaska. Alaska. She's getting out of skin. All right. He should just, then he could make Bristol his bed warmer. If his wife doesn't mind, I mean. Well, she's pregnant again. She got, oh, illegitimately knocked up? Well, I don't know if it's illegitimate. I don't know who's knocking her up. Is she got a husband? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I know Chelsea's having a second. Yeah, but that's legally legitimate. But she's married. Yeah. Some rich Zionist family or something. Yeah. Some Jew guy. Me. You know, but, um, no, Bristol is not. Well, Bristol, according to the post I saw yesterday, basically, since she was raised, abstinence only, et cetera, she doesn't know how it happens. Okay. So somebody's putting a dork in there. And, you know, squirting 200 million scum guppies. Scum guppies. And one of them are taken. Twice already. So in other words, she still thinks like this dork brings the baby to the hospital. Most likely, most likely. She hasn't made the connection yet between the dork and the scum guppies and the big belly. Okay. So she's that naive, huh? That's what it looks like. Unless it's deliberate. She never took any moose cock while she was living, growing up in Alaska? It might be a reaction formation against her mother. It could be rebellious. That's what it is. Reaction formation. Because I know personally of an adopted female who was adopted by a financially independent parents, very, very financially independent parents who happened to be right-wing Republicans and evangelical holy rollers. And she, when she became a teenager, ever, I mean from teenage years to adulthood, she had nothing but dysfunction, rebellion, picking the worst possible men to go out with and marry. Bingo, bingo. So rebellion against the heavy authoritative hand of the right-wing fundamentalist religious nut parents. That's what usually happens. Because they're usually very anti-sensuality, anti-sex. And these kids, all their hormones get bottled up and it makes it more, when it becomes taboo, it makes it more enticing to break the rules. You know, it's my take on it. I mean, if there's any social workers out there or psychologists, you're free to leave a message based on this. But it's my hunch that they're rebelling. Same thing with the girls that are very scantily clad when they're young. There's a rebellion going on there. Like in other words, the attention. In other words, negative, infamous attention is better than no attention. Maybe that's their way of compensating for a lack of love. How come, though, you don't see any of that in the Arab countries? Because they threaten to kill them. Because if they rebel against that idea, they get stoned. Drop the head off. Well, there's not enough... Even the extremist Muslim living in the United States, that woman had acid thrown in her face by her husband just because she left the house without him. So, you know, it's not like India where you had a mob scene. Well, you also have a high population. A mob scene of very angry Indian women that were protesting in a violent way against their role in society there, as second-class citizens, having no rights, being raped, and justice not seeking restitution for their rape by men. You know what I mean? How's that going? I only heard about it once. I really don't know if... Because as far as I know, nothing's changed. Well, let me tell you something. I'm very glad you said that because I know someone who I'm related to that I am convinced is afraid of his wife. I'm sorry, but he's not only henpecked, but he's pussy-whipped. And after many years of marriage, you know, he finally was talking tough about changing things. You know, I can't take it anymore. Enough is enough is enough. Well, guess what? She still has control. She's still winning, winning, winning. I sound like Charlie Sheen and Donald Trump. I'm probably a winner, winner. Winning, winning, winning. Why are they winning? Why do these men... Look, when do people finally wake up and smell that coffee? When they're dead. In other words, they don't change. According to human psychology. In the resurrection, they awake. Why don't they grow a backbone? Do they enjoy being masochistic? Could be, could be. Is there some kind of contentment in being a masochist? Could be. Maybe they have a problem of control. They can't take control. They can't make decisions, maybe. They can't make decisions. You know what I mean? Maybe they came from an authoritative background where someone else always made the decisions. Yeah, like that show. Like that show, everybody loves Raymond. He's afraid of his mother and he's afraid of his wife. That whiny, that whiny, pussy-whipped, mama's boy Ray Romano. He's afraid of both of them. And Robert is a little afraid, but Robert tells his mother off. He screams, yells, you know. And Robert is more manly, but I'm saying Ray is, in the whole entire show, he was always afraid of both. When Deborah got angry, he freaked out when his mother was laying a guilt trip on him and was upset with him, he freaked out. But it's just amazing how they don't learn and they never change. And it's also probably similar to the poor people living in shacks in Kentucky and all these... I don't even want to call them Bible Belt red states because there's nothing about the Bible that is involved with their religion. It's a cult, evangelical cult. They're poor as poor can be. Every year they get more poor, poorer, if that's a word, but they continue to vote for the people that could care less if they die, the people that are always for the rich, and they continue to vote for them. They're on food stamps, they're on social security, they're on Medicaid, they're on any other kind of government programs. And they say they've never gotten anything from the government. Well, like Martin Luther King said once, the rich and Republicans, the rich really do like socialism when it's something going to them and it's something going into their hands. But for the poor and the middle class, they believe in rugged individualism. Pull yourself up by the booty straps. Stop being lazy. Like the job market is so wonderful out there today in Merrica. Again, I mentioned it before, I'm not sure if I mentioned it last Saturday, but Chisler's Hall of Shame, Wisconsin, shame on you, wanting to make seafood and potatoes and ketchup a luxury for people on food stamps, denying them the ability to purchase the lowly peasant food, the white potato, and the peasant condiment ketchup. And I think cold cuts are, they want that to be taboo. Seafood is one of them. Seafood, cold cuts, steak, potatoes and ketchup. Well, my take is they're going to continue until there is no food stamps for the poor. Yeah, that's it. Now you're understanding what's going on. Gradually, gradually, gradually.
