 Dr. William J. Eisenman. Okay, better late than never. Welcome to progressive discussions. We could not do the show as per schedule Saturday afternoon because it happens to be a Sunday afternoon because there was some work that needed to be done in the newsletter-sensored research center here in northeastern New Jersey. Plumbing and, if you didn't already notice, lighting. We have a very beautiful, large, brand new LED office fixture and I could see the difference. I'm sure you people out there that have enough brain cells and have halfway decent eyeballs, eyesight can also see the difference. I like it. But I have LED at home, so I know about LEDs. They are taken over and rightfully so. They are much more energy efficient, they run cooler and they're brighter. Hey, all the aquarium, even the aquarium lighting, full spectrum lighting for all LEDs. Gotta love it, gotta love it. Actually, my last incandescent nightlight bulbs burnt out last night and I replaced them with LED nightlights. I left it on, I didn't shut it off, I left it on. I put my hand, I touched it. It was room temperature. Why shut it off? It's a freaking LED. You know what I mean? It's a little LED. The life on them is incredible. I know I'm doing a promo for LEDs, but you know what? We're big on science here at Progressive Discussions. We love science. Can't stop science, like George Costanz has said on SignFile. Can't stop and no way know how. Can't stop science. Seven bells for science and high technology. If you watch Ancient Aliens, you will see just how far and how rapidly we are advancing in terms of technology. Anyway, I'm here with my co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletter Censored in 1977, the one and only, the Pope of the Internet, the Archbishop of the Cosmos, the Reverend Dr. William J. Izaman. How are you feeling this Sunday, sir? Humble. All right, good. Now, I just want to say real quick, everything we discuss politically is part of our series. Crapitalism in a conch shell. That's right. Crapitalism, C-R-A-P. Crapitalism in a conch shell. Let's see if King Neptune has anything to say. Hey, what's going on? Yeah, I know. I know. I know we're supposed to do the show on Saturday, but what can you do? Unforseen perils sometimes pop up. But, yeah, you remember the old saying? Well, you don't remember it. Humma, humma, humma, humma. I got to do the saying right. Oh, sky's red in the morning. The sail is warning. Sky, the sky's reddit. No, wait a minute. Yeah, sky, sky reddit in the morning. A sail is warning. Sky reddit night. A sail is delight. Yeah, that's right. That's right. I don't want to screw it up, because I'm talking to Neptune. Yes, yes, I will get into that very, very comical news that seems to be the rave in this particular city that received it. All right, all right, no problem. Yes, Donald Trump's naked statues. They pulled it down. They did. Why? That little thing. The one with the little tiny sack of balls and a little shrunken penis. Hey, it shrinks. It shrinks. The water was cold. Oh, man. He did a George Costanza. Yeah, supposedly probably the oligarch that's backing the Hillary campaign commissioned the artist, the sculptor, the sculptor, to make these very comical, supposedly life-sized statues of Donald Trump naked. And certain cities received it, like New York. And of course, all the tourists took photos in front of it, and they were making fun of his genitalia. And I think it's part of the fact that anything to humiliate her opponent and take votes away from her opponent, anything to get elected, Hillary Clinton's campaign will stop at nothing. And the people that pull the puppet strings, the oligarch will stop at nothing because, I mean, I've seen photographs of some of the wealthiest top 1%, and man, there, they look like walking sarcophagus. I mean, they look, I've seen better-looking mummies in Egyptian tombs. They, it's almost like they're keeping themselves alive. To aggravate. To aggravate the world. To piss people off, and it's... But soon they will be gone. With all the, you know, they can afford all the heart transplants, the organ transplants they want. They can afford to grow organs in the lab, which they're doing. They, it's almost like they're clinging to life really hard. Maybe they're afraid of meeting their maker, these, uh, the world's wealthiest people that pull the puppet strings. Maybe they don't want to meet their maker. Maybe they're afraid of meeting their maker. They don't want to meet their maker, number one. Well, where are they going to go when they die? That's it? Well, that's it, yeah. But for them, they think they can take it with them or they can at least give it to their family. Well, I know, I think scientists, like quantum physicists, like the ones that appear on Ancient Aliens, I think they believe in parallel universes, other dimensions. They, I think, I believe, I think they believe that there is something that lives on somehow. They just don't know, they don't know anything. Just like people that represent religions, all the organized religions and religions of the world that cause more strife and trouble for humanity than any other factor. They have their beliefs on what happens when you die and nobody has proven it, but they sure as hell want to spend taxpayers' money on these religions. That's why it's up to the poor person to find out the truth, prove all things, hold fast to that which is good. Now, they took down, so they took down the naked statues of Trump. In New York. I don't know about anywhere else. I didn't know he was anywhere else. It was causing too much of a stir. Obviously. Traffic, traffic and that. Ah, come on. Or just the time square. Yeah, that's the grotesqueness of it. Yeah, but could you imagine time square, 42nd Street, 8th Avenue, where all the, yeah, the naked cowboy, wow, he's got a little speed up. Where all the tourists go, midtown Manhattan. That's the place for it because it's jammed with people walking to and fro constantly. It's never ending. It's like, it's more, it's like an ant farm, for God's sakes. It's like people go, excuse me, every which way. Put the statue there. You don't have to worry about jamming anything, you know? Plus, it's a tourist area. I mean, yes, it was grotesque, but it was funny, you know? I mean, I said, well, they don't arrest the topless women in New York anymore. Maybe Mr. Trump didn't like it. Mr. Trump, by knowing his ego, probably totally flipped out with these statues being in different areas. Of course, if they were to made him look like Michelangelo's David, he probably would not. David had a little dick, too. Well, you know, they... If the dick was... Listen, there are ancient statues with big shlongs. I've never saw one. I've seen them, but their primitive cultures do that. Japanese ancient... Big balls. Ancient Japanese eroticism, erotic art. Back in the days of the shoguns and everything, they all have big shlongs. Yeah. So maybe they're trying to compensate. Yeah, a projection, you know? Yeah, of what they really wish they... What they would like. What they like, what they wish they had. But anyway, I notice patterns. Now, in this case, different teabaggers. When I say teabagger, I mean a right-wing conservative person that's Republican that is not wealthy. Okay. Put it in simple layman's terms. My brother- my brother-in-law's father had said to me when we were talking about single-payer universal health care and doing away with these insurance companies and, you know, everyone will get free health care. He says, who's going to pay for all this? Okay, now, Bill Moro said in response, our commercial voiceover artist says to me, yesterday, no, not yesterday, Friday, I'm sorry, when I was having coffee with him and with other people, he says concerning free education, public universities, who's going to pay for the expenses of the professors their salaries and blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. Similar statement by Bill Moro. But one was health care. One was free education, college education. Now, other teabaggers online say to me, and more than one said this, the problem with, because I had mentioned the fact that Scandinavian countries, you don't see Scandinavian immigrants in the United States. You don't ever hear about people from Scandinavia relocating to the United States. Oh, gee, I wonder why? So what they said to me was that the problem with democratic socialism is that, or socialism in general, is that eventually you will run out of other people's money. Well, my answer to them and to Bill Moro and to my brother-in-law's father is this, uh, do you tax the rich? That's how you get the money for the single payer universal health care and the free public universities. Well, that's how it used to be. That's how the government makes money, gets money. But the point of that whole thing is... Revenue. ...we have a misallotment of money today. Yeah. Meaning the money goes to profitable corporations, the money goes to tax cuts for the rich, the money goes to 800 military bases around the world. We don't realize that every dollar... 800. ...every dollar spent in one of those bases and not in the United States robs our economy. We were discussing this during the week. You're absolutely right. The businesses that are in these foreign countries near and around these bases, they are getting the cash from these American military personnel. They're spending their money there. They're not putting their money back into the American economy. No, they're not. They're putting it back into the economy of that country. 90% of money for universal health care and free education and an annual income. Like Norway's doing. Okay. A base. A base. Plenty of money. A base income. Misallotted, that's all. Misallocated, excuse me. And with the corporate welfare and with all these bailouts and subsidies and what have you and the corporations not paying taxes, federal income taxes. And fraud. And waste. Come on. Right. Now one of the gentlemen that was having coffee with us Friday was a tourist from Holland, from the Netherlands. And he spoke very good English with an accent, of course. He was a young man, very, very different from the young millennials in the United States. This guy was a sharp cookie man. He was smart and mature too. He was telling me that he is in the Netherlands military. He's a fighter jet mechanic. He is a jet aircraft mechanic. He was young. He was 20-something. And he was telling me about how it is. Yeah. He says it's all these basic things that really humans need and deserve. We get. That's correct. You know. And he says the base, he thinks the base salary, which is true, regardless what Republicans tell you. Yeah. Yeah. Norway or maybe more countries are given a base monthly salary just to give you a decent head start in life. And then if you have a baby, you get adequate paternity and maternity leave. You get adequate vacation. You have adequate everything. Everything. You don't have to retire in poverty for God's sakes. They treat their people like people instead of the capitalist system, which treats people as wage slaves. Come on. Understand what's going on. Ever since the industrial revolution, they have treated the masses like they were horses pulling a plow on a farm. Cogs in the wheel of industry. That's all. Yeah. Cogs. Cogs. Unless you're wealthy, then you have all the value in the world as a human being. Of course, if you're a baby in a womb, you have tons of rights for Republicans. But if you're born, unless you have a silver spoon in your mouth, you're not worth a damn once you're born. See, this is it there. Where is the money going to come from? Who's going to pay for all this? You numbskulls. The rich are going to pay for it. That's how you do it. You know, I mean, it's really simple. It's not complicated. No, it's not. But they make it so, so that you won't be able to argue about it. Yeah, no, you won't run. Except what is. You won't run out of other people's money because the rich will be paying their fair share in that context. Revenue will keep cycling into the government. On and on and on and on. Right. And if you keep, and if you keep the jobs in the United States, the extra money that the American consumer has, the more surplus cash the American consumer has, the more he puts back into the economy. The little guy I'm talking about puts back into the economy, which stimulates the economy instead of stimulating the economy of all those foreign countries and calm on 800 bases. That sounds like trying to occupy the world. Well, yeah, that's what it is. Colonialism. Yeah. Under a different name. That's all it is. And you know, isn't it funny? In Italy, of course, they work with the Casa Nostra. They work with the Camorra. They work with all the organized crime. Now, isn't it funny how the modern-day descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh are always the culprits in this obsession with greed and power? Colonialism, exploitation of people that they feel are inferior to them that are not like them, murdering them. You mean like the little brown people? People of color. Yeah, it's always the, when I say the modern-day descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh, I'm talking about Great Britain and the United States, which is the offspring of the British Empire. Now, the Caucasian folk, the European colonialism, colonial way of thinking, of stealing by force and taking by extortion, and then having a representative of the Catholic Church with them as they steal the land and the gold and everything from the country. They call it the New World. For God's sakes, the native people in the so-called New World have been around for thousands of years and Europeans were living in caves and they're calling at that time, you know, when the Incas and they all had empires and they're calling the people of the Americas the New World and savages because they're not like them. You know how advanced the Mayans and the Incas and all these people were when Europe was going through the dark ages? Turn on a light! Turn on a light please! Oh, you don't have enough light? But anyway. And remember those, back to those bases, the bases, they've, like, let's just take Diego Garcia. They kicked the goddamn inhabitants out of the island and into poverty. Yeah. And they do that all the time and they take the land, they don't buy it, they take it, they think it belongs to them. You know, us. We're talking us. We think it's in Honduras or some other country. We think it belongs to us. Right. Okay. Well, do a little chiseless hall of shame. Did I mention the highway robbery of getting your medical records at a hospital? Yes. I already did that. Yes. Okay. So, but I'm going to be doing a separate chiseless hall of shame bashing the exotic pet industry. You know, it seems like when it comes to, see, to me, retail, American retail has to be the sleazy, most underhanded, you know, former business. As the nail sticketh between two stones, so does sin stick to buying and selling. That's in the Bible. I believe that. See, please ask these 27 verse 2. Yeah, something like that. Something like that. And anything that is considered in America a specialty, it could be boating supplies, it could be RV, you know, recreational vehicle supplies, anything that supports a particular hobby. In other words, the non-essentials of life, it's the prices are marked up to the high heavens. And sometimes, well, no, more often now, because companies are deregulated, you have very, very bad customer service. You know, I mean, and a little rigging to, like I mentioned that time about the new wave oven, you know, the dome, once the dome lid breaks, they want you to buy a whole new wave oven. They don't have the dome, the replacement part of the dome, and without the dome lid, you can't cook anything. So, things like that, you know, built-in obsolescence in American appliances where the lifespan of the appliance does not last long at all. And we've done that in the past many times with toasters and coffee makers and what have you. Oh, my coffee maker burnt out, American-made. It went kaput. So now I'm making coffee the old-fashioned way, pouring it into the molita, you know, I have a washable filter basket, made of fine metal mesh that I got at Walmart and I put the coffee in there and I pour it and it drips down. Hey, I'm tired of buying appliances that don't last, that mysteriously die, suddenly die on you, you know. So, that's a humongous chiseless whole of shame right there, product-wise. But I will do a separate chiseless whole of shame on the exotic pet industry because it's a specialty, non-essential industry and they fuck you over and the customer service sucks. And, of course, only in America do you have this crap. But I do want to salute LED lights. I do have to do that, I have to salute that. I also want to say greetings to my near-dear friend in Osaka, Japan, from Osaka, Japan, miho, alo miho. The creator himself, personal trainer and nutritional consultant extraordinaire, Mr. Mario Petrus, saw my administrators, all of my top administrators of the Facebook group, Sasha Boyle, Anthony Lora, McVon Raven, Scatman, the Scatman, I call him. Scatman Crothers. Scatman Crothers, no, not Scatman Crothers, this guy's Caucasian. He knows who he is, the Scatman. Melissa Coates, professional wrestler and former competitive bodybuilder. Greetings, shout out. Of course, Evelyn Pringle, a true progressive warrior. Oh, did you see those cute photos of Jill Stein with her male cat, her orange tabby? She took chat pictures of the cat getting in between her and her Apple laptop. The cat wouldn't let her do anything. I joined a club. Big male, big fluffy male, orange tabby wouldn't let her do anything. I had to put that on one of my groups because it was funny. It was cute too. I think Melissa Coates has a... belongs to her. It looks like... I think it's a Persian. I could be wrong. It doesn't have the flat face of a Himalayan, but it has the bulk. It could be a Persian, and the hair looks like a lion. It looks like a baby lion. Persian. It has that regal look to it. You could tell like the males, but this one has a very lion-like look to it. Real cute, but... Anyway, that's basically it for my shout outs. Of course, I can't remember everybody. I mean, what the hell do you want, man? I mean, what the hell do you want, man? I mean, what the hell do you want, man? I have a new group. You know, I have a new group. My sixth group is called the St. Valentine's Day Massacre on our wallets. Male activist group. Oh, Mr. Ronald King, yes, my friend, and male rights activist and administrator... Extraordinaire. Extraordinaire? I don't even know if he is a... No, he's not an administrator. I think he's a moderator, but I don't even know. Hey, I got so much going on. I can't remember everything. All the details. But everybody that's in my organization, I give a shout out to. Seven bells for all of them. So, supposedly, Julian Assange of WikiLeaks is going to really lower the boom. This October 2016, we shall see. He keep... They keep on mentioning... Oh, he also has Daredon George Soros and the Rothschilds. Supposedly, Vladimir Putin is an international arrest warrant out for the Rothschilds and George Soros. And between WikiLeaks and whatever information Pringle had posted that they feel a lot of the Hillary Clinton puppet strings are pulled by George Soros. I don't know. Hey, I try... I read a lot of articles online. I try to assimilate the ones that are from reputable sources. I read the Washington Post articles, the ones that are universally important. I'll post them on the political group on censored hard-hitting truth. But there are a great deal of misinformation on the internet. Now, does that mean I'm giving credit to mainstream media on cable TV? Hell no. I have boycotted them a long time ago. I don't watch mainstream media anymore since the way they treated Bernie Sanders and that was the end. I boycott their sponsors and I boycott them. So that's that. CNN the other day got caught leading a person being interviewed. In other words, like telling them what to say. CNN. Coaching them? Like encouraging them? Yes. For all I know on the Jerry Springer show, there's probably people holding up big cue cards for the audience. They're holding up chairs. They hit everybody over the head. No, I mean the audience does things in unison. Simultaneously, they all clap at the same time. They go, Jerry, Jerry at the same time. So scripted. They probably tell the guests in the back waiting room lay it on real thick. Do your best. Scream, jump up and down. Make like you're going to have a fist fight. Ratings, ratings. I don't know. I always wonder when people say that. How can they say ratings if you are watching the show and the show is doing whatever they say to gain ratings? How are you gaining ratings from the show that you're watching? Well, they want you to be... Yeah, but how are you going to bring in other people to watch the show so the ratings go up? No, they want you to be there. You're already there. They want you to be there so you can see the sponsors, the commercials. Yeah, yeah. I'm talking about when they talk ratings. Well, ratings means an attraction. Like you were telling me about the Barker at a carnival. Yeah, but I'm saying the show is on. The audience is there. How does this now bring new ratings? It doesn't and it can't. You mean new people? Correct. That segment of the population who enjoys that kind of... You're not impacting anybody while the show is going on. You've already got your audience. What are you going to attract? Somebody who's channel surfing? No, they do promos. But who is going to listen to them except the people that are there? No, what I mean is Jerry Springer and other shows like Jerry Springer. Jerry Springer has a lot of spin-offs. Like Steve Wilkos, who was his security guy. Saw one and saw four. Bill Cunningham. That's promos. They'll give you clips and a commercial. Clips of all the big fights and brawls. But that has nothing to do with the particular show that is on at the time that is going to bring new ratings. That's just channel surfing. Maybe. Channel surfing, you've got a couple new people. It's like, for instance, I didn't even know that that progressive there was a progressive cable station from, what is it, Democracy Now? Oh, I saw it. No, I saw it on the internet. They have a cable station now. What's your name? The one with the long straight, poker straight gray hair. Gray hair. I didn't know that they had a cable station until I found it totally by accident and I found it during the Chicago the no, was it No. It might have been damn. No, it wasn't Chicago. It might have been Indiana primary or there was some primary there was a primary going on in the Midwest and there was a lot of protesting outside and of course the mainstream media did not show you the protests. The Republican that's it, the Republican National Convention for this year that's when I discovered Amy Goodwin and the Goodman and the Democracy Now cable station the Republican National Convention was where was it was it Indiana or in Ohio somewhere No, Indiana. It was Indiana and there were tons of people out there marching but you would never know it if you just watched mainstream media. That's when I stumbled on it. Now, if you are an org Did you hurt your toe? I didn't stub it. Stumbled. You know, channel surf stumbling. If you're a very important organization very informative educational and progressive and you decide to buy a cable station that's way up beyond there like there's like probably thousands of cable stations now it goes up pretty high the point is you're only going to catch channel surfers because you're not going to have the funding to advertise so you're only going to catch people that are going bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep bleep with the remote and who the hell is going to go over $600 and $700 I don't know anybody that does unless you're totally bored and you're just going beep beep beep beep oh what's this beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep oh what's that you know what I mean and you're going up that high now you said that Gary Noel said he bought a station that's what I heard on cable that's what I heard it's probably one of those high numbers but the good thing about Gary Noel's new station is that Gary Noel has a lot of people that go to the progressive radio network website and facebook page and he will he can listen on the telephone he can advertise the hell out of it there and get all of his legions to go to the station that's a great thing about it now I got to congratulate him even though we booked Ted's in the past I got to congratulate him Gary Noel for buying the station because it gets the truth the real hardening truth not only online but on cable so I got to give him credit anyway I know we were very long winded let us sink our teeth into these readings before lunch after two years of heavy casualties the Afghan military is trying to retake the initiative into war against militants with a new offensive against Islamic State group loyalists and a salt that will see back on the battlefield working more closely with Afghan soldiers and so it looks like we'll never never get out of our longest war of all time yeah they surpassed Vietnam right or they might 15 years now all of these squabbles all of these civil wars in these countries probably have went on for centuries for all we know there must the United States get involved in every little squabble in civil war everywhere or maybe the 800 American military bases is all connected to the military industrial complex and maybe it's just one one immense revolving door of profit perhaps back to what we were talking about before I mean that's more money available isn't it all the way from the Pentagon and and their satanic human sacrifices of course for profit are the young people men and women of poor and middle class families because the rich kids are certainly not going to go no they get deferments like Trump yeah well he's special he's special he's rich kid Afghan president Ashraf Ghani recently announced a major assault against fighters from Israel to ISIS who over the past year captured positions along Afghanistan eastern border with Pakistan mainly in Nangar Har province yeah we all know Pakistan is like a US quote unquote US ally just like Saudi Arabia is with quotation marks we do have a base in Pakistan though during the Iraq war I think we paid them like 10 billion a year or whatever they were would you consider Pakistan a border off lover Saudi Arabia and Saudi Saudi Arabia the United States the Obama administration just off Iran after trying to make nice nice with them because now they're in league with Vladimir Putin and so is China. China had a big meeting with Vladimir Putin so now the Gog and May Gog is pretty damn big huh 200 million man army you might as well you might as well include Russia and Iran does not like anyone to put them with the Middle East so they are they are Asia they are an Asian country they are Persian and they I believe they are part part of that king of the king of the east they just called Gog and May Gog no Iran is not part of that Iran is the king of Saudi along with Egypt along with so many of those other countries over there so Islamic you're putting them with Islamic extremists they will head it they are the head according to the bible not Saudi Arabia well they Saudi Arabia is Sunni Iran is Shi'a that goal to uproot ISIS from Afghanistan has taken on new urgency in the wake of a deadly suicide bombing of a protest march Saturday in Kabul that killed 80 people the Islamic State Group's AMA online news agency quickly claimed responsibility for the attack the first ISIS attack in the Afghan capital isn't that funny the United States Army is there for 15 years and now ISIS is there so ISIS so ISIS is taking the place of the Muslim extremist Islamic extremist that were that were established in Afghanistan that was the Taliban that was the Taliban and Mr Bin Laden Bin Laden but it looks like it's all becoming ISIS yeah but the American military is there what are they doing sitting on our goddamn asses in their bases you said al-Qaeda became part of ISIS they collectively I guess some of the people from it well they're they're agendas are similar well who knows what ISIS is made up of the point is how did they get in Afghanistan with the American military there that's the point yeah who's watching the borders who's mining the store right they're just collecting taxpayers' money with their thumbs up their ass I mean that's what it looks like the inexperienced Afghan forces after 15 years by the way inexperienced have largely stalled in the fight against Islamic militants ever since most international combat troops withdrew in 1915 American forces that remained shifted to a supporting role and US airstrikes diminished letting the Afghan military take the lead in carrying out the war Taliban forces have dominated the battlefield and the Islamic State group has been building a foothold and that has meant mounting forces among Afghan troops casualty numbers are not officially released but according to figures provided by military officials at least 5,000 troops were killed in 2014 raising to more than 6,000 last year in an acknowledgement of the deteriorating security situation President Obama last month gave a green light to a more assertive role for US troops though still short of direct combat with that boost Afghans are shifting back on the offensive the anti ISIS operation announced by Ghani dubbed Shaflaq or Don Pashto will see the head of US and NATO forces in Afghanistan General John Nicholson implementing a aggressive new strategy oh really 15 years later we get aggressive now it's aggressive US airstrikes on Afghanistan are likely to become more frequent as the strategy shifts from using air power only to defend US and NATO positions to striking in support of Afghan offenses Nangarhar is one of Afghanistan's most economically important provinces a major producer of agricultural goods and thoroughfare for much of the country's exports to Afghanistan and beyond it's like a second capital Afghan Army General Mohamed Karimi said it is a gateway to Kabul if Nangarhar falls Kabul will become a battleground every day and so is Syria and so on and so on and so on for years and years to come that's what it looks like that's what it looks like and a potential very possible World War 3 can very easily happen if the wrong people are elected in the United States and getting back to the bases around the world we love dictators we like to sign up with in these countries okay because they're more it's easier to do business with them more stable economically when a dictator sees all that cash in front of his nose it's very easy to make a deal with him because they love the mula gotcha for the first time since declaring his presidential run Donald Trump expressed regret for saying things that may have hurt people sometimes in the heat of debate it's true and speaking on a multitude of issues you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing I have done that well I don't have a problem bashing his political opponents because politicians have sleazebags anyway and liars I have a problem when he bashes particular segments of the voting population that's the problem Trump was reading from prepared text he said it in a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina and believe it or not I regret it particularly where I have caused personal pain well well him Donald Trump coutowing to the rest of the Republican Party and moving a little farther to the right is not a good move as far as the mainstream population goes as far as we the people are too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues as the crowd cheered and Trump pledged to always tell the truth always always is the word always in like a microscopic font no it's normal font right that's great you know what I smell the aroma of sausage peppers and onions like the Italian festival I get that aroma right now the remark sausage as Trump makes significant changes to a campaign that has struggled since the Democratic and Republican nominating conventions from self created distractions earlier Thursday Trump he moved to invest nearly five million dollars in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions well he also shook up his campaign in recent days tapping a new combative conservative media executive Steven Bunyan to serve as CEO of the campaign Steven Bunyan yeah I heard it Bunyan I heard Bunyan is like outspoken like him he's a right wing nut that's why I was putting him mildly well is that outspoken you know well I know about the Bunyan tree that grows in the tropics and it's a very unusual weird tree so maybe maybe it goes with this guy but anyway are we ready for lunch not that I particularly am hungry or starving it's that I need to go to the the men's room and you need to eat so we're gonna take, we're gonna break for lunch and now you'll be met by announcer William H.

Eisman and gentlemen Jack called me and he has a hearing at the federal courthouse in Newark for his social security disability SSD claim and his lawyer told him that they will throw so many questions at him and he is not to volunteer any information answer them and then stop talking but they will try every which way to find a reason and excuse to deny him social security disability but I'm sure if he was a corporation if he was a corporate CEO they will not throw questions at him they will throw vast amounts of taxpayers money in his direction if he was an American corporate CEO but because he's a little schmuck a little putz they will put him through the sausage the meat grinder the ringer to try to dissect him and find reasons to deny him the American system since day one since the industrial revolution capitalism is the tool of Satan it is the devil's economics pure capitalism is crony capitalism it's greedy it's evil there's nothing good about it it was always rigged for the rich now let us finish up with the balance of the show the whining supporters of the republican party and presumably Donald Trump is beginning to reach new levels oh their whine is alright the writer in stating that celebrities should not comment on the presidential election seems to forget that we do have a freedom of speech in this country yes what struck me about the letter only named celebrities who support Hillary Clinton could it be that she can't find a list of celebrities supporting Trump and therefore neglected to add the names of Antonio Sabato and Scott the bear you mean to tell me Antonio Sabato the one with this Mexican guy with the dimples Latino man with the dimples is actually a right wing conservative hasn't he forgotten his roots maybe or maybe he doesn't want to acknowledge them there are people like that when they get made you know they don't like to know what came from like conservative blacks like Herman Cain how many of you mentioned that Herman Cain a doctor Ben Carson and others like him who forget where they came from forget quickly forget and that right wing republican Asian woman from Hawaii very attractive that forgot her roots too I may disagree with Sabato and Abayo I mean Philippine looking woman brown skin Asian woman but certainly have no problem with their speaking their minds the fact is that the republican party has nominated arguably the most unqualified candidate for the presidency that's Warren G. Hardy yeah well none none of the two are good his sole platform consists of making outrageous statements to wet the anger and bad bias of his base and to try to deflect them from voters that his policies would ruin our country and our relationships with our allies Hillary Clinton thinks highly of Obamacare the republicans haven't come up with their replacement for Obamacare etna pulled out you know yeah because they're allowed to discriminate right because insurance companies are allowed to pull out where they should really be forced pulled out already two of them pulled out already I mean isn't it like is it possible to not discriminate against the po-folk not according to the deal that was made to Obamacare no so they're allowed to pull out and discriminate and they did etna did yeah that was the wrong thing to allow them to write the law they're fucking lucky they're fucking lucky they still exist because they could have all been high by belly up in the first two years of the Obama term when he was elected the first two years we could have had single payer universal healthcare and they would have been out on their ass a man who belittles gold star parents and calls our president a terrorist founder deserves no consideration to lead this country gold star yeah when their son dies in the war gold star parents oh yeah yeah yeah the Islamic couple who lost their son captain you may try started trouble fighting with him that's kind of heartless stupid recognize that all politicians can play fast and loose with the truth but I've never witnessed anyone who fails to tell the truth as much as Trump I applaud anyone who speaks out against Trump if you don't like what Trump critics say don't listen but I believe some are just refusing to hear the truth it's like you know like suspecting George Sakai's parents being Japanese spies during World War II when the Japanese Americans were thrown into these interming camps totally Americanized Japanese Americans I mean you can't especially since these Muslim parents lost their their son I mean he didn't show any compassion for them have you seen Donald Trump show empathy for anybody I haven't seen he wanted to close down all mosques in the United States well that's just for Muslim but I'm saying have you seen except for his daughter Ivanka with that statement that he made that he wanted to bang Ivanka yeah if he wasn't my daughter a lot of people want to bang Ivanka you know it's a big deal Donald Trump is being criticized by establishment politicians for not being presidential enough presidential what's so ironic about this so called advice is that many of them are losers themselves you have to take a look at them they go to a rally they're fat they have no shirt on and they have the confederate flag behind them the letter writer in the above subject has there are the Romney's and McCain oh wow that's a prize package for you yes they were presidential and John McCain is also a war hero but apparently it didn't matter because he was captured they still lost and ran failed campaigns how is he a hero if he's a POW Mitt Romney's image as a disconnected rich guy was so bad his campaign was forced to publish photos of him flipping pancakes in his kitchen he was flipping but I'm sure listen I'm sure he has hired people that work at his residence his mansion to do that he just decided I was a photo out right ironing his shirts and kissing babies to prove he's just a regular guy well GW Bush remember that photo of him making face he was picking up the baby and the baby was crying and he was making a funny face Trump is still attracting tens of thousands of supporters to his rallies and he still has the support of the millions of voters who elected him as the Republican nominee a lot of middle class people that choose to blame everything on the poor instead of corporations why should he now be forced to take advice from the losing politicians many of whom are has been it was reported recently that about 100 Republican leaders are abandoning Trump because they don't approve of his campaign tactics big deal I think Trump should just concentrate on keeping the support of his millions of fans who are way more important than a few establishment politicians who were never in his corner in the first place best advice for Trump comes from old Billy Joel Toon just the way you are we love you just the way you are lyrics include don't go changing to try to please me you never let me down before I'll take the good times I'll take the bad times I'll take you just the way you are I don't like sappy songs they make me nauseous I don't care if it's that song or Karen Carpenter I don't like any sappy songs you know you may be very nauseous really I know some middle class people that just won't answer me when it comes to the top 1% and corporate CEOs they continue to blame the poor they continue to blame the poor on social services they won't even attack the rich and they are middle class people that have mortgages and children to support and they'll never be anything more than what they are now when they croak I know one that was started out as a lower middle class and now is actually income wise is actually upper middle class good for him but is he a George Soros? but they were humble when they were lower middle class they were humble now the person talks right wing hey, there's an old saying you know what I mean jellybean as a young man you are a liberal as an older man you are a conservative because you earned money you are not the problem I'm humming you don't have the problem anymore in other words if it's not your problem once it becomes not your problem anymore you don't give a shit and you want to protect what you have your money your nest egg and they also the person also doesn't want to put out any consumer videos or you know bashing corporations it's just a sudden a sudden change adaptive supporters they will never rock the boat as the income rose as the income rose and as they became more financially established they became more like pro-capitalism pro-republican pro-corporation you know what I mean that's the same it's like a person who you grew up that's from your block from your neighborhood they became a celebrity a big star and you stopped hearing from them and you try to send them a message and they don't return your message you're sending you a message don't bother me Anthony Laura told me about someone that he knew very well because they hit the big time they won't even acknowledge his messaging not even one word not even or nothing you think maybe the people that have made it big are afraid that their friends from the old days will ask them for money you think that's a possibility Reverend Bill? the same thing with Shakira's mother breaking off all contact with her relatives from they're afraid that people from the old country will ask them for mula now that they have rich and fame fame and riches gotcha good news for bookworms bookworms books are out of style they're not in vogue anymore that reading every day could increase longevity so can antioxidants and uncle oxidants researchers from Yale University found that reading a book for 30 minutes per day could lower the risk of death by 20% that's if there's nobody to bother you if there's no one to bother you if there's no one to call your name you can read unfortunately I read more than that every day not as much as I would like or I used to I understand past studies have linked reading with long-term cognitive benefits such as the delay of Alzheimer's by the way speaking of Alzheimer's Trumpy has it in his family oh really hey maybe reading is like your brain doing dumbbell curls that's exactly what it is exercise but this study suggests reading benefits the physical body and overall health as well I bet chess is exercise the study was published in the journal social science and medicine and looked at the data of more than 3600 participants in the health and retirement study owning in on participants reading habits the prolonged life results due to reading remain constant regardless of other factors such as wealth, age sex, health issues depression race and more other reading materials such as newspapers or magazines did have a similar outcome similar? though nowhere near as pronounced as with books well rest in peace Burgess Meredith Mr. Wordsworth on the Twilight Zone episode Librarian it was obsolete you are obsolete Librarian does that mean you deal with books? yes books Mr. Chancellor is that his name Mr. Chancellor? books, dictators don't like people having books that is correct they don't like people having ideas no no no independent free thinkers there no change of pacing tomato paste I am 32 years old and divorced by wife two years ago although I tried dating for a bit it was a brave new world online apps and profiles it wasn't for me I became discouraged people lie people embellish people twist reality profiles a year has gone by and female friends are telling me I need to get back out and date they also use fake profiles not fake photos but photos that are hiding something it could be a far away photo of them where you can't make out their face it could be an old blurry one it could be a photo that just shows them from the chin up which means they're obese they're hiding something I find the whole endeavor depressing and prefer to spend my time elsewhere and single well he's like me he doesn't really like clubs night and night clubs crowded noisy night clubs they say my decision to stay single is emotionally driven and I deserve love my argument against dating is that I wasn't a good husband and I have no interest in devoting the time or energy to date in the scary and confusing world of the web can you settle this dispute so that we can stop the back and forth arguments well there's a whole that's a whole talk show I mean there are women that are insecure that demand 100% of a man's attention all the time where he can't have hobbies and friends there are women that are not insecure that treat you as an equal partner but that's rare you know what I mean it depends on the compatibility I mean you shouldn't have to give up what makes you a person what makes you you shouldn't have to sacrifice that you know and you shouldn't have to be with a control freak either and also dating for the wrong reason like a gold digger dating a man with money alright go ahead here A.B.'s answer I agree that opening up yourself to strangers can be scary if you are not interested in meeting women on the internet I won't force you even though that's how many although not all relationships start these days yes that's absolutely true it's more scientific I mean it's not perfect because that's not your cup of tea there are other ways to meet nice women among them getting out and participating in activities you enjoy or volunteering for a cause you believe in true having things in common yeah with others of course that necessitates being open to having a relationship with someone and be leaving you deserve one really there's someone there that tickles your fancy whatever you know you have that physical chemistry from the tone of your letter I'm not sure you're there yet not having been a good husband the first time is no excuse if you have learned from your mistakes it can be very frustrating because it only works as well as the honesty of the profiles I mean some women in their profiles have a long list of their requirements very nitpicky but what do they bring to the table when those that have a very long list of demands Earth just roiled to its hottest month in recorded history according to NASA even after the fading of a strong El Nino which spikes global temperatures on top of man made climate change July burst global temperature records hey Iran had dangerously high heat at one time this year very high I mean like was like 115 or something was higher than that no it was pretty high it was pretty high some articles made it ridiculously high which I didn't believe but no overall we had a bad summer I mean as far as the planet goes mass calculated that July was 1.51 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than 1950 through 1980 that's clearly hotter than the previous Otter months about 0.18 degree warmer than the previous record of July 2011 to July 2015 which were so close they were said to be in a tie on record scientists blame mostly man made climate change from the burning of fossil fuels with an extra jump from the now gone El Nino which every few years is a natural warming of parts of the pacific ocean that changes weather worldwide Georgia Tech climate scientist Kim Cobb said this is significant because global temperatures continue to warm even as a record breaking El Nino event as finally a relief is gripping wouldn't it be funny if Kim Cobb had a son and named him Cornelius Cornelius Cobb now as a kid I remember upper 90s and with humidity slightly over a hundred with humidity but nothing beyond that it's bad enough we have humidity which is makes it feel hotter NASA's five hardest months on record are July 2016 July 2011 July 2015 July 2009 August 2014 only July 2015 was during an El Nino records go back to this is the 10th record hot month in a row usually unfortunately when you have record hot summers you have record winters the old farmers says we are going to have a very bad winter of 2017 the national oceanic and atmospheric administration which calculates temperatures slightly differently will come out with its July figures on Wednesday Noah has figured there have been 14 monthly heat records broken in a row before July incredible well you know the right wing still put out articles online about the ice sheet growing faster expanding faster than ever before then you see other photos of the poor polar bear sitting on this little ice flow you know with nowhere to go it's like I guess greed is an obsession where the planet could be dying the people the human race could be endangered but I guess they feel that the worst comes to worst they can always eat their money now they are selfish they do not think of others they don't think of we or us they think of me, me, me, me, me, me they don't think of community they don't think of the comments they don't think of people in general they think only of themselves that is Cropitalism it's a get way of life look at the overall picture of what's happening they only know they're very myopic you know short-sighted how much is going into my pocket or bank account regardless how I get it how how crooked they are as long as they are getting more money if they're multi-billionaires obviously it's not enough then it becomes a power obsession after you're a multi-billionaire many times over then I am assuming it becomes a power obsession the poor in America have always been invisible I am a homeless poor too even more invisible this phenomenon was noted in Michael Harrington's book The Other America Poverty in America published in 1962 oh really wow oh during the civil rights movement Harrington's book inspired president John F. Kennedy's advice to Americans too yes not what their country can do for them but what they can do for their country what kind of Republican sounding when he said that yeah well let's apply it to that gentleman going for his social security disability yeah don't ask what government for your social security disability unless you're a CEO let's find out what you can do for your country which means what you can do maybe I got her you could give your life in the military what you can do for your country what they really mean is what you can do for a corporation and be a drone a slave to us a wage slave yeah and president Lyndon M. Johnson to initiate the war the war on poverty now 54 years after the publication of Harrington's book the focus has shifted to a discussion of economic equity in society regrettably the fact that 15% of Americans still live in poverty has once again become poverty, invisible yeah and Bernie Sanders has mentioned this quite a bit in his campaign before he decided to endorse Hillary Clinton about the inequality an income of wealth the distribution of wealth is extremely unfair and I think poverty I think higher crime rate is a product of poverty well it is in some instances I think it does when you got two bankers robbing each other or robbing us then it's not applicable but it is a fact that poor people have more children which is against their environment well yeah you can't afford one how can you afford more than one unless they're just so bored out of their minds that they fuck all the time or maybe they don't learn like Bristol Patle and she's pissed off because people are getting a sex education chubby little slut bristol who loves the pistol and probably didn't get any information about how to avoid pregnancy brazen bristol who loves the pistol she is lecturing she's lecturing other millennials to stay celibate oh that's realistic it's time to declare another war on poverty and to attack the root causes of this epidemic that still festers in American society political corruption, greed I mean everything going to the top and working for someone else everything going to all the wealth pooling at the top top one percent no trickle-down happening but they keep on telling that lie about trickle-down economics that old boy they're going to continue to be believed they're going to keep telling it even with the outsourced American jobs big deal it's trickling down in Bangladesh it's trickling down in the Philippines with our office jobs being there customer services trickling down in China what's trickling down the people are getting peanuts they're getting next to nothing big deal what are you trickling down there is no trickle anywhere it's all pooling at the top friends of mine in the Philippines that lived there said no wonder so many American businessmen are traveling here they said that there's a lot of factories and offices opening up here with Americans in suits my answer was those are the outsourced American jobs and when they trickle overseas it's really pissle trickle-dickle but the real problem the real problem is constantly overlooked you won't get rich by making someone else rich by working for them someone else that is very true okay that's real trickling down 50 cents to a dollar an hour for a customer service office employee that's real trickling down in the Philippines islands but no you'll never get ahead working for someone else I am a 40 year old man divorced with teenage children I feel sorry for him and have been exclusively dating a woman who has a 4 year old daughter mommy mommy why why mommy pay attention to me why why there have been no clashes between our children we have yet to have sex how long have they been together so this doesn't sound good good don't say because the fucking kids prevent sexual activity I'm telling you they're the biggest cock blockers around when I'm over at her place the kids up all night I know I know I'm in the living room floor what either on an inflatable air mattress does this little girl have her own room or does she sleep or in a sleeping bag or does she sleep with mommy oh it doesn't sound good and he's still with her either way I feel like I'm left to sleep on a dog bed guys a chooch not great for my self-esteem he's an idiot my girlfriend uses her daughter as the reason suggesting that the girl just wouldn't understand me sleeping in mommy's bed who gives a fuck you make her understand you make her understand discipline this is the fault of modern-day millennial and generation ex-parenting no discipline the kids control the parents I don't personally see it as being a big issue for the daughter given how long we have been together we have discussed the subject and she makes reference to perhaps planning some sort of rendezvous but it ever seems to take place I hope Ron King watches this last segment of the show because he's gonna get upset too they control the parents the modern-day parents there are no religious issues here my girlfriend did have a promiscuous and troubled past as a young adult so I'm sensitive to the issue but this is driving me driving me nuts like and another thing is they'll let the kids stay up real late and then when the kids finally do go to sleep the woman is like real tired I think I'm gonna go to bed can I walk you to the door I mean they, you know I used to blame it all on the young children but no, I blame it all on the modern-day parents on the younger parents they have no balls they have no spine there is no discipline whatsoever they do not establish themselves as the alpha as the parent the children rule everything's about the kids and you know what this woman is gonna be without a man for a long time because I mean only a stupid little sap that you know is gonna put up with it really I can't see anybody putting up with this people usually find the time to do the things they want to do absolutely your girlfriend may be holding out for marriage not have a strong sex drive or not be as attracted to you as you are to her that's very possible look, there's time if people, if there's a will there's a way people can and will find the time to do many things to pick up a phone and call you even if it's only five minutes sex there's always a way if there's a will okay, finish up you didn't mention how long you have been seeing this lady but I think it's a time you discussed your feelings with her again find out exactly why your sexual relationship hasn't gone from theory to practice and take your cue from there communication is extremely important in relationships the lack of communication is one of the biggest problems you know not everybody is a mind reader they're not psychic mediums can read your mind you gotta sit down and present the problem now if the person argues with you then you're not going anywhere then it's not gonna go anywhere you know what I mean? if you say it in a nice way and they take offense to it then you can't reason with them but that's it get it over with don't date her month after month after month after month nip it in the bud you know what is that different definition of insanity if you do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result yeah anyway thank you for joining us for our progressive discussions we'll see you next time thank you at least we have better lighting this time whoop-de-do whoop-de-do
