 And now I present to you James B. Madonna and the reference Dr. William J. Eisenman. Okay. Alright. Okay. Alright, we're here. Another week has flown by. Blah, blah, blah. Yada, yada, yada. Hot, hot, hot. Yeah. I always say that. Where's Michelelli? Who stole my sh- Oh, here it is. Thank you, heating system, for shutting up. It'll be on again in a few more months. I know, because it is... Cold! Sub-zero temperatures this weekend here in Northeastern New Jersey. Isn't that so? Yes, it is so, and I hate it. I thought by getting rid of January, we'd get out of the Skaldang. The crap old cold bang. Actually, this is the first time I wore my Adidas hoodie pullover for the show. Be careful wearing hoodies. Well, as long as I don't put the hoodie over my head. Do I look like riffraff to you, honestly? No, it don't matter. Honestly. It don't matter today, man. I'm sorry, I'm ignoring our viewing audience here. We never ignored a viewer. Welcome everyone to... We are here to enlighten. There we go. Welcome everyone to One Censored Heart-Hitting Truth. I'm your host James P. Madonna of Megalike21. And I am coming to you live and recorded, of course. And if you watch us in the future, pre-recorded. From the Newsletter Censored Research Center in Northeastern New Jersey. And I would like to formally introduce my illustrious co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletter Censored in 1977. Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman, how are you feeling this week, sir? I'm sure I don't have to ask. I'm sure I don't have to ask. It is the very, very tail end. The end of the coccyx bone, which is the tail bone. Don't get the wrong idea. Of January 2015, a month has blown by already since New Year's Eve. How about that? Good, good, good. Because the more it blows by, the closer we get to March. Closer we get to the sun, too. Which is springtime, warmer weather, no shoveling, no chopping. You know, like I'm black thorn wood. I don't know where this global warming is. Certainly ain't in New Jersey. Not at the moment. Yeah, it's up on the ice places. I used to be happy when St. Patrick's Day comes around because I used to be able to go for all you can eat, corn, beef and cabbage. But guess what? All these greedy fucking restaurants in our area stopped the all you can eat corn, beef and cabbage and charged you up the wazoo for corn, beef, one plate. And I won't go. So what happened was I went to a, I won't go there again. I went to a particular, last year I went to a particular local buffet from by Asians. Not the new one that I love so much. This one is called Bon Buffet. Chiseless Hall of Shame. I induct you Bon Buffet of Maywood, New Jersey on Essex Street. They had corn, beef and cabbage, all right? But it was the most fatty, grisly, disgusting corn, beef I ever had. It wasn't brisket. All right. Anyway. I didn't shave it. Take the excess fat off. No, no. That wasn't the problem. I don't have a problem with beef fat because fat is flavor and fat tenderizes. I have a problem with the gristle, those disgusting parts that you can't really, well, unless you're a wolf or dog, you can eat it, but not me. But anyway, I digress. Speaking of dogs. Dog on it? Yeah. There was a story on the news yesterday about, you know, how the kids used to go to school and they didn't have their homework. One of the big excuses was the dog ate the homework. Well, it actually happened yesterday. That's stupid. It happened yesterday to dog ate the woman's homework. That's a stupid excuse. I can understand if you're far and it's smelly and you blame it on the dog. But to eat. And we can blame it on the cats here because they do that once in a while. Cats fart? Yes. I never, I've never seen... Very silently too. Well, they do things in a very dignified way. Yeah. They don't want to blame you then, you know? Yeah, the cat will blame you. Oh, oh, oh. I didn't do nothing. Nothing like a little flatulence talk to get good, cheap levity. Right in here the bells ring. All right. Let me warm it up. I brought... I took the infamous levity bells out of mothballs, brought it back. They're actually old-fashioned jingle bells. Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells rock. Wait a minute, let's not start that. Pagan Christmas. Pagan. I want to start off by saying... All right. Congress, and in this case, of course, if it's negative, it's the Republican-controlled Congress. And now the Republican-controlled Senate. They cut food stamps by 83... I'm sorry, eight. Hold on. Five billion. What did I do here? No, it's eight. It's up to eight now. They cut it again? They cut food stamps by eight billion dollars. But at the same time, the banking industry received 83 billion dollars in subsidies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We love those banks. But there's no money for poor Americans and veterans. We love those banks, man. Lower middle class and our veterans and our poor... Oh, there's no money for them. What did that shark tank guy say? And children. Don't worry about that. I don't watch that show. I don't watch it either. He was on another show. The woman was incredulous. Is he Republican? Of course. Is he like that Duck Dynasty dude? What's he? Phil? Phil is misguided. All right. I let him off the hook a little bit because he's misguided. He always loses his razor blades, Phil. He's shaving the vice. Anyway. He's misguided that. The man is misguided as far as Christianity is concerned. Very much so. That's my take, okay? You know, Dr. Bill, on that note, what I just read, Republicans have a tendency, and I know Chris Christie did it years ago, but they usually have a tendency to tell us that we need to make sacrifices, but they are never willing to set the example for making sacrifices. No. Not the least bit do they make sacrifices in Capitol Hill. No. What's mine is mine. And what's yours I want. Yeah, you got it. What's yours I want to be mine. And what's mine is mine. And if you're destitute, you've got to make more sacrifices. Yeah. But not us. It's like do as I say, not as I do. Once I become an elite pal, hey, it's all mine. It's like Jimmy Swaggart that used to cry and say, lust is so sinful, lust in the heart. Meanwhile he was picking up prostitutes on the highway. He was trying to, he was trying to convert that. That's what he was trying to do. What is penis? Well, the Roman Catholic Church used to convert by the sword, so I guess he converts by the penis. And also many priests used to try to convert the altar boys by the penis too. But yeah, Jimmy Swaggart got caught more than once. Well, this is typical. Hypocrisy should be a big Las Vegas strip neon sign with Republicans. Because they are the ultimate in hypocrites. Without a doubt. Without a doubt. And on that note, I have one more thing to talk about with you. And I know you are just as pissed off as I am. And that is Senator John McCain of Arizona calling war protesters a low life scum. Yes, he did, yesterday. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something, John McCain. If you have in the past or are now making any money, even if it's a dime or nickel in war profiteering or have anything to do with like a halibur, then you, Senator John McCain, are the low life scum. Take it away, Dr. Bill. Yeah, well, the low life scum of John McCain, what he did yesterday was he protected Henry Kissinger, who is a war criminal. Henry Kissinger is definitely no angel or hero to the United States. He's a war criminal. Right. And that's what Code Pink was saying. Arrest Kissinger for war crimes. Bingo. Now, Senator John McCain can be a war monger and a piece of crap and everything else, but he defended Henry Kissinger. Which means. Which means that John McCain is not the quote unquote nice guy Republican that people may think he is. You know, they're making him out to be a Barry Goldwater or something. Yeah, they did that when he ran for president. And Barry Goldwater was, it wasn't all that bad like Richard Nixon, right? Barry Goldwater really wasn't all that bad. Not as good as Eisenhower, but he was a good egg in some ways. His big statement, though, you can see it in places like radical Islam, et cetera. He was saying that extreme, me and extreme, in the case of liberty, is not a virtue. Oh, really? Yeah. What's going on at all? Isn't there a famous photo op of John McCain posing with ISIS? That's correct. Because ISIS was created by the United States of America just like the Mujahideen, which became the United States. Do you think the United States might have decided not to save those three Americans that would be headed? To not to send in SEAL Team 6? The United States has a policy that will not get ransom for terrorists. Then they'll chop their heads off. Okay. But sending in SEAL Team 6 and this, that, and the other thing, the big problem with that stuff is there's not enough intelligence on the ground. So they did not try wholeheartedly to save those men. Now, what are you talking about? Are you talking about the Japanese? No, I'm talking about the three Americans. Foley and the other... Oh, okay. Well, Foley's parents wanted to get the money, but the government said that the camp is illegal. Well, then they lost their son. And you'll go to jail. Very... I don't even want to get into it because I saw one of the videos. But anyway, I mean the real video. Well, that's because in war, individualism goes down the drain. You are nothing. What did Henry Kissinger say? To David Frost. Yeah. Well, what did you say? We have America. Americans... Soldiers. America has a lot less friends than we think we have. No, about the American soldiers are stupid and something like that. Oh, really? He said that? Yes, he said that. Well, they're like pawns. They're stupid to believe the lies from their recruiters and enlist. I was talking to a recruiter when I was 17 and I caught him in lies. I found out he was lying to me because I believe in getting the second and third opinion. You know, I was a little researcher back then. I was well read. And yeah, he liked me. But hey, you know, if I had a son, I'd say, don't you dare enlist. He may have to register for this stupid draft, but there is no draft. It's a volunteer army. Okay. Why do when people apply for social services and when I went to tech school twice, how come they asked me if I was registered for the draft? Selective services. They asked... I was at one time, but not now. I told them at my age, what are you... With my knowledge, are you out of your mind? And she... The woman laughed. I said, are you out of your mind? Yeah. You want me to bend your ears and tell you all about what's really going on in America? But do you have the time to listen to me? No, no, no. I don't have the time, but... Well, next question. Next question. But anyway, yeah, she was asking the wrong person. So, yeah, what was I saying? So, yeah, so... Oh, by the way, was one of the Japanese killed or not yet? We don't know as far as I know. We don't know. Japan won't bargain with... Because they're still... Either way. The deadline passed on the negotiations, but I presume they're still negotiating. Yeah. Okay, anyway, John McCain, yeah, unbelievable. Republicans' true colors always eventually come out. Well, not even a Republican, this man supposedly was tortured in Vietnam and etc. And should understand these things. Yes. You know, like FDR. FDR. Yes. If FDR was not crippled by polio, believe me, he would not have understood the things that he did to try to help this country and the people in it. The plight of the little guy, the plight of the poor, the plight of the unfortunate in America, he would not have the empathy and compassion if he was not crippled by polio. That's correct, because he was a rich man. He was born rich. So FDR could have, because his environment was different. Could have been a totally different president. That's correct. He might have been another moderate corporatist Democrat. That's correct. Like the Clintons. That's correct. Yeah. That's correct. You know, I'm not even going to waste my time talking about Sarah Palin. I think she is a, she's there for entertainment purposes only. But Democrats are- Unfortunately, there are certain people who do not take her for just entertainment. Democrats are praying that she runs, because this will be so much material for Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, all comedians in the world. This will be an endless supply of material. Believe me, there will be a lot of material with the ones that will run. Plenty. Plenty. Especially if Mitt Romney decides. He's gone, he's out. He ain't running. Now you have some holy rollers. Can you all be clear for Jeb Bush and Christy Duterte? You have, I think there's a contest between Huckabee and Ted Cruz as far as who has the real bat phone to God. Was it Mike Huckabee or Huckabee? Huckabee, right? Huckabee. Yeah. He's an idiot. From Arkansas. Is it not? Yeah. Neither of them know the real God. He's saying, well, he definitely believes, like that other jerk from Mordechosy, this Republican wants to make it a federal law to make gay marriage illegal across the board and people, atheists, he doesn't want to, he does not want to marry atheists. But I suppose he has a bat phone to God too. They all have bat phones to God. All these Republican zealots. So did George W. Bush when God told him to go into Iraq. It wasn't God that he was speaking to. Ha-ha! It was the other guy. Yeah. They go into Iraq there and, you know, get 4,000 people killed and a million displaced, the Iraqis, and allow ISIS and every, oh, come on. Hey, I was talking to Can't Create about that, about these lying hypocritical Republicans. He says, oh, who am I and who are we to judge? I says, Can, if it looks like a duck and it works like a duck and it sounds like a duck, it's a duck. Yeah. You know, every here of the proof is in the pudding. Did he ever hear of criticism as a teaching tool? Uh, yeah. Well, then why would he say something like that? It's not a matter of judgment. It's a matter of criticism. If somebody professes to be closer to God than you, if they profess to be a Christian and they do, everything they do is against the God of the Bible, is unbiblical, that doesn't make them a Christian, does it? And it allows you to criticize. Yes. Yes. Thank you. If you catch them in a lie and they're spouting nonsense, like, there's a part of the Bible that tells people to be kind to foreigners and respect them. And of course, the ancient Israel was told to treat them as they would their brothers among them, the sojourners among them. There you go. And of course, to help and give to the poor. That too. I'm just saying, but these so-called zealot, right-wing cultists, I don't even want to call them Christians, their Bible is their own Bible. They totally rewritten it for their selfish, power-hungry agenda. So I think they agree, I think what they really want is power and control. I don't think it's so much money stuffed in their pockets, dollars and cents. I think it's power and control. They have this obsession. They're control freaks. Like, just like my friend. They want to call you control you in the bedroom? Yeah. Just like a relative of mine and a friend of mine, their ex-wives were known as control freaks. They wouldn't let them have friends. They told them to give up their hobbies. They basically told them, hey, let me put Alicia on you. And you do what I say. It's like, I know it's a psychological disorder. It has to be. Of course, all abusers, that's one of the first things they do is prevent you from having friends. They don't even want you to have, really, be close to your family. That's correct. Absolutely. They want to control your every movement. And guess what? Yeah, what I say? You offer no consent. Shelly to the skull. You know what I mean? I have no problem with safe, sane and consensual. Safe, sane and consensual. But there's no consent involved in it? I heard Frank Costanza say something about it. Costanza? Can't stand you. Non-sign fell. When he was having sex with Estelle and he told George and George says, I don't want to hear this. And he said, oh, it's safe and consensual. Anyway, let us now. I can't think of anything else because I don't want to go on. Oh, there's plenty of else. I don't want to go on and on about Sarah Palin because she's just nailing Palin. That's all. You betcha. You betcha. All right, let's sink our teeth into these readings. You missed her. You betcha. She missed her real calling in life. Calling in life. She should have been a porn star. Milf porn. That's it. That's it. Well, she might have gotten in there earlier. You know what? She was pretty hot when she won that beauty contest in Alaska. There you go. Did she say she could dress a moose when she was in a beauty contest? Was she that young? I don't know. I don't know. Maybe she can undress a moose in the bedroom. Anyway, go ahead. The state assembly of New Jersey failed on Thursday to override Governor Christie's veto of a so-called heat and eat bill that would have provided increased benefits to food stamp recipients rather than cuts. In other words, the Democrats in Trenton failed, turned their back on the poor of New Jersey. You should be no wonder they screwed Barbara Bono over and re-elected Chris Christie. A bunch of corrupt bastards in the state. I hate them. The assembly needed a two-thirds majority, that is, 54 votes, to override the veto Christie issued in September. The bill had 60 votes when the assembly passed in June, but got only 43 votes on Thursday. The failure extends a five-year streak in which the legislature has yet to override a Christie veto. The failure sandwiched between a snowstorm and a forecasted weekend cold snap frustrated the Democratic sponsors who feel the bill is a sensible solution to helping low-income people stay warm and fed in the winter. And food stamps is called SNAP, the abbreviation. And why, since they fail this way, what caused them to fail? I just read that. When the bill first came out, it had 60 votes. On Thursday it only had 43. I don't understand. I'm scratching my head. Said one of the sponsors, Camden County Democrat, Gabriela Mosquero, or Mosquera. The measure in the legislature followed a federal farm bill signed by President Obama last year, allowing eligible households in the SNAP program who get a minimum annual energy assistance payment of $20. Oh gee, don't spend it all in one place. To qualify for an additional utility allowance. The state's bill would have provided about 160,000 eligible households with $21 to qualify for extra assistance. But without that increased payment, the Obama bill cut food stamp assistance by up to $90 a month. The Office of Legislative Services agreed with an estimate that raising the energy assistance payments from $1 to $21 would cost $3 million to $7 million. But that money could probably come from unspent federal funds from the low income home energy assistance program instead of from the state. In his veto message, Christie said he was worried that the bill violated federal law. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services concerned that many food stamp recipients were using the energy assistance program without having a real need for it. They have no need to keep warm. It issued a stronger guidance on requirements that Christie said the bill did not address. An opinion from Senator Bob Menendez's office found that the bill does not violate federal law. The vote to override the veto comes a week after Christie. A presidential hopeful was in Iowa calling on conservatives to embrace the middle class and working poor. Oh, really? Sounds good when they're campaigning, right? Yes, that's what they're all doing now. That's Joni Ernst country. A Rand Paul, a Ted Cruz. They're all doing that now. We're for the poor and middle class. Because they want to get elected. Exactly. And then when they get elected, they do what the hell they want. They say, okay, we're in for four more years. Screw you. Because they don't believe in a democracy. They believe in a republic where you vote for me and I'll do the best for you. It will be my opinion and not yours. Well, they do the best. What I consider the best. They do the best for the rich. That's correct. Not for the people. That's what they consider the best. That's why it's so important for all Americans to make it their business to vote. All Americans. Until the system is changed, if you want something done properly and etc., you need to vote for the crumb party. You know what? I like that. I like that. The crumb party. Crumb party. You know what? We're going to use that for a while. The crumb party. Because we know that Democrats are corporates also. But you get a few crumbs. As opposed to absolutely nothing from the Republicans. Correct. So they are the crumb party. The vote to override the veto comes a week after Christie. Oh, I read that already. His office did not respond for comment. In his veto message, he said, he will remain steadfast in my support for assistance programs to help aid needy individuals and families. But not this particular one, right? Oh, my God. Oh, boy. Oh, my God. Okay. That's all I got to say. All right. Moving along. All right. Now, I'm going to get to Mr. McCain. Oh, you got a McCain article. I got one here. Yeah, that did. Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain kicked protesters out of a committee hearing on Thursday, calling them low life scum. As they hollered for the arrest of one of the witnesses, former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Shortly after Kissinger, 91, took a seat at the witness table. Several protesters from the anti-war group Code Pink approached from behind waving signs and a pair of handcuffs chanting, Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes! McCain says, You know, you're going to have to shut up or I'm going to have you arrested. Arrested for expressing an opinion that they don't like. Under his controlled meeting, yes. Calling for the U.S. Capitol Police to remove them. As officers escorted the protesters out of the hearing room, the sixth term, Arizona Republican, a decorated Vietnam veteran. Six terms. And a former prisoner of war growled, Get out of here, you low life scum. Now you should know better, like you said before. U.S. Capitol Police spokeswoman Lieutenant Kimberly Schneider said three people were removed from the room, but no arrests. The upheaval came Thursday during a committee hearing that also featured testimony from former Secretaries of State, Don Lin Albright and George P. Shultz, who were sitting up at this table with Henry Kissinger. So in other words, only at town hall meeting setups are you allowed to debate the politician. Unless it's Chris Christie, then he just throws you out. Even then they shut you down, if you're the Republican. Sounds very fascist to me. The Code Pink protesters routinely interrupt congressional hearings and are hushed out by police. The Thursday's incident was different, McCain said. Because the protesters came within inches of Kissinger and waved what appeared to be metal handcuffs near his head. One point a protestor alleged that from 1969 to 1973, Kissinger, who was National Security Advisor to President Richard Nixon, before being named Secretary of State, oversaw the deaths of millions of people in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos. The protesters said many thousands more people died from the effects of the defoliant Agent Orange, or from unexploded United States-owned ornaments littering the country. Yeah, Agent Orange, in that situation, was a defoliator. Hey, United States, I assume, knew it was losing award. It should have just pulled out years before him. Could have never got in. Yeah, well, the French got their ass kicked there. The British didn't want it. Remember, weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Yeah, supposedly. Well, in Vietnam it was the Domino system. Oh, if we let one country fall to those Commies, then these other ones will fall like dominoes. These damn dark Commies. Well, they ended up being damn dark Commies. They ordered Laos, right, Cambodia, Vat Nam, like my grandfather used to say it, Vat Nam. Oh, they're all Commies. I don't know if they're Commies or not. Yeah. Or Ireland's not Commies. No, no, no, no, no. I'm saying Laos and Cambodia. I don't know. Well, Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge came in. They were Commies. I don't know about Laos. I don't know what they are today. Yeah, Laos is like a mountainous country. During his testimony, kissing your caution against deeper United States military engagement in the Middle East and Ukraine a better understanding of the potential consequence. While the most immediate challenge is to defeat Islamic Statefighters in Iraq and Syria, Kissinger said, we must not let that degenerate into another war that we don't know how to end. He also declined to endorse McCain's call for providing weapons to Ukraine's military as it battles Russian-backed separatists. I'm uneasy about the getting a process of military engagement without knowing where it will be. And what we'll do to sustain it, Kissinger said. Of course, he didn't think like that about Vietnam. Did he? Yeah. Thank you. Thank you for pointing out that the Republicans' war on women continued. Of course. Even in the new Congress, despite their democratic deep-seated denials in recent elections, all one has to do is look at how the party votes on women's issues. Most Republicans voted against the Millie-led Better Fair Pay Act. And my congressman here in New Jersey, Scott Garrett. Oh, yeah, the other douchebag that got re-elected. Nice job, New Jerseyans. Nice job. Even voted against the Violence Against Women Act. Oh, boy. With the rich. Getting richer. And many middle-class families getting squeamed in today's economy. Why do Republicans feel that women's issues are the first they should vote on? I thought, when you mentioned violence against women, I thought violence against anyone is assault. Yeah. Assault in batteries. So why? Women don't count. Unless the Congress is doing it. Huh? Unless the Congress is doing it. Yeah. I mean, women are people too. They're citizens. You know. What people as corporations? Huh? Not as much people as corporations. Well, you're talking about the rigged system we have. Rigged it. That corporations have. I mean, satirical. I know. Because corporations are paying their campaigns. They bought and they purchased the politicians in Washington. They are married to the government, which means facture. Yeah. Thank you. A lot of stupid redneck teabaggers do not know the definitions, the political definitions at all. That's right. They don't know a socialist from a communist from a fascist from, they don't know anything. They lump them all together. They now. They lump them all together. I recently saw the movie Self and I was impressed with the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. When he pointed out the only way to change things was by voting. I was impressed by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Everything they said was the truth. I was glad to see a letter to the editor. House Bill aims to hurt women. Announcing those men and women who do not vote. Nothing will change for women until we hold politicians accountable on election day. Say greetings. Good greetings. Say hello to my near, my near dear friend from Osaka, Japan, Miho. Greetings, Miho. Greetings to personal trainer extraordinaire and former WWE star, professional wrestler and trainer, Mr. Kent Thiessen. Greetings, Kent Thiessen. Greetings to my great administrators, Jolton Joe Stebbins and Sasha Boyle. Greetings to the both of you. My other administrator of Everything is Food, Mr. Anthony Laura. I send my greetings. Rick Brown and Eric Doyle of Unconventional Asylum in Southern California. Greetings. Greetings to you. And the new award winner on my fitness group, the Mace Master himself, Joe Margerelli. I send greetings. Eh. Eh. Eh, that's about it. As far as my greetings go. Alright. I forget his first name and last name. Is this new? Fresh? Yes. Okay. Do you know the wrestler Mankind? Yes, Mick Foley. Okay, Mick Foley. Well, he was in a eat-a-winged, eat-a-wings content. Oh, I would love that. Hot wings? Buffalo hot wings? Oh, I love those. Cheated. Wow. He put them in a fanny pack. Pro wrestling. Okay. Why the fuck did he do that? He's an idiot, obviously. Oh, you mean with the sauce and everything? I don't know if it had sauce. Well, he was also Cactus Jack and Dude Love. He had alter egos. He had different, you know... Well, the winner of the Winged Cat Fest, I believe, had 63 or 64, he ate. Looks like he sneaked some of them into his family. Yes. Oh. He laughed about it later. But he got caught. Yeah, he got caught. Last year, some woman, I think she had 50-some or something. She was the winner last year. Yeah, but Mick Foley looks like he can put away a lot of buffalo wings. What's wrong with him? He goes easy to chew. You know what's good about the chicken wing contest? You know, there's no bread involved. Because when you're in a contest, like the hot dog eating contest, you have to eat the damn white bun. You have to eat the bread. And if you go to that place in Amarillo, Texas called the Big Texan, you have to eat the 72-ounce steak. Not just the steak, you've got to eat the steak dinner, which means the rolls and the french fries. To me, that's unfair, you know, as far as the restaurant's concerned. But anyway, if you finish it, it's the meals free. But it's not the steak that gets you. It's the carbs. It's the sides, maybe. You've got to eat all the sides, yeah. Well, you know, in like the hot dog eating contest, the bread and the water that they drink, this expands your stomach unfairly. You're not even getting the hot dog. Yeah, it blows you up. You could eat more, but then it'd be too dry where the bread wouldn't go down. I don't like to eat hot dogs from any supermarket, period, because it's garbage. It's almost as bad as the pink slime that Jamie Oliver shows. You know, it's poison. Now, if you're talking about freshly made frankfudders from a German or Polish pork store, freshly made, that's a whole different ball game. Or if you're talking about a kosher hot dog, kosher frankfudders, you know, like Hebrew National or whatever, you're talking about a high quality damn hot dog. And I would eat that with no problem. But as far as the white bread goes, that's just going to blow you. By the way, the Hebrew National's kook salami is very tasty. You could tell the quality of the meat. Well, yeah, I guess so, but maybe you've got to make... Once these companies, excuse me, become so big, put out so much product, they tend to decline in quality. That's what I'm afraid of. Oscar Meyers and your ballpark, your ballpark Franks. My brother tells me several years ago, hey, look at the hot dogs I got for the grill. It's called, the company's called Best. They must be the best. I says, Scott, just because they're called best, that doesn't be the best. That's pay PR, baby. Holy crap. That's like if I ran for a public office and changed my last name from Madonna to Best. Or Winner. James Winner. Does that mean I'm the winner? Yeah, absolutely. Well, you know, people have this tendency. Got a lot of relatives there. Let's say somebody wins the lottery at a particular place, 7-Eleven or whatever, right? A lot of people then go there to buy from that 7-Eleven. That 7-Eleven may never, never have a winner for our next 800 years. Let me tell you something, brother. If I won big on any lottery, I'm not handing my ticket over to some 7-Eleven owner or manager. I'm driving right to Trenton, New Jersey. I want to claim my prize guaranteed. No, you get the form that you must fill out. Then you fill it out. And you have a copy of your thing when you hand it in supposedly. Be very careful. Don't jump up and down. Don't let other people see you got a winning ticket. You can get mugged. Well, the new scratch-off in New Jersey is now worth 5 million. The go scratch your ass, scratch-off? 5 what do you mean? 5 million? In other words, if you win, you get 5 million. I like the win for life, or you get 1,000 a week for life or more. I like the win for life. The publisher Scurrying House is having it right now. 5,000 a week for life. Oh, whatever. They just want you to subscribe to magazines. I'm talking about the state lottery, the win for life. They have one like that? Damn right, they got several. The state lottery's got several win for lives. Right now, or maybe on Friday, I believe either the Powerball or the Mega Million. It was $289 million. And if you take the lump sum, it'd be like something like $180 some million. When you take the lump sum, you pay all that rest in tax. To tax. And that's it. You already pay the government, and then you just take the lump sum. Yeah, I would rather do that because who the hell knows? If you're an older person, you got to do that. How long is it? Hey, you could be middle age. You don't know how long you're going to live. Exactly. So take the lump sum. A lot of people are doing that. And live off the interest. Don't put it in Bank of America. What kind of interest do you get today? No, go to like a federal credit union or savings and loan and put it in a... Exactly. There's nothing to invest in today. Go to a no-load mutual fund and put it in a triple tax-free money market fund where your interest is tax-free and live off the interest. Right now, banks are paying less than 1% interest. CDs are like maybe one or two. But they're investing your money and making a fortune. What is happening is that banks don't need your money. They're getting free money from the Fed. And therefore, they don't need to pay... See, a bank goes into business. You put your money in the bank and they use your money to make their money. But they don't need it today. They don't need you today. So they're not paying no interest. Therefore, what do you do with your money? So what you're saying is when an organization that is a profit-making organization is really nice to you, that means they need something from you. Of course. It's like when a beautiful young chick walks up to you with a big smile, she wants something. She wants something. You need to tell me she doesn't want to give you something. No, unless you're rich and famous, she wants something, you know, monetarily from you. Yeah, it's called being played. It's called an opportunistic person who plays other people. Well, I've never been that cynical, but I have been called gullible in the past. You mean a sucker for a pretty face? No, I had the lumps on my head red by a phrenologist and she said I was gullible. I am a constructive cynic. There you go. A pessimist. A constructive pessimist has a, like the Star Trek Enterprise had the force field for protection. You put up a force field around you. Yeah, every gull-bang episode. Once another ship shot at them. Half of the shield is down, Captain. What the hell? It's always down. Well, if it didn't go down, and if there wasn't any mechanical problems with the ship, then Scotty wouldn't have any role in the series. You would never hear Scotty's voice. I cannot give you more power, Captain. Scotty would have, he would be like Captain Dunzel. He would have no useful purpose. Yeah, but the point of it is the point of the gull-bang force field is to protect you against the other ships, you know, weapons. And as soon as another ship fires at them. Half the shield is down, Captain. Half the shield is down, Captain. Listen. Damage on the deck five. There is a purpose for pessimism and cynicism, which is probably synonymous, what do you think? Maybe? Whatever. Well, of course there's a role for it, because otherwise you would be a fool, you know? You have to be, you have to be a step back at certain things. Now, the ultra-liberal Pollyanna, on the other hand, the Barney the dinosaur people, I love you, you love me, they don't want to hear anything. No discouraging word about anything. They are into this thing about being kind to people. Being kind to everything. And everything. Well, they haven't lived in the world long enough to understand that you do not, like I've seen this idiot the other day, but I guess he was putting his head in a bear's mouth. Oh, that video, you mean the Grizzly? The Grizzly, yes. And the Grizzly was playing with him, he was on top of him, a thousand-pound Grizzly, making nice, nice with his, he's a trainer of bears. Whatever. And a guy's head just fit like a grapefruit in his Grizzly's mouth. You see what happened to Whatchamacallit, what was that tie, that lion tamer, the train? Is it Friedan Roy? He's a big Friedan Roy. That was a tiger. Yeah, but the tiger did not attack him, the tiger tried to carry him like it carries its cubs. You know, when they pick up the cub by the skin on the back and it stretches, well, Zick Friedan Roy, whoever it was, his skin doesn't stretch like a tiger cub. Yeah, well, the point I'm trying to make is, they're always wild. Of course. Hey, the ferrets that chew the baby's face off. It's a known fact, you don't have ferrets when you have infants. And it's another known fact that ferrets are not 100% domesticated animals. And the same thing goes for these hybrid, you know, wolf, with a, you know, with a dog mix and the cat that's partially wild, you know, who has an ocelot for a pet, you know, which is a wild Amazon jungle cat and all this crap. There was a video. Ah, you motherfucker. They all cursed my furnace. There was a video up on Facebook last night of these, they looked like, it looked like a water buffalo. Yeah. And there was either a cheetah or some kind of spotted cat had its jaws into the ass of the water buffalo. Behind corners. Behind corners. Hanging on, trying to bring it down so it could start eating it. And the water buffalo is walking with this cat still on it, you know, and everything. All of a sudden, two other water buffalo come. It looked like a female because I didn't see horns. Yeah. I don't know. Do the female have horns too? That's a good question. Well, whatever. I think they all do, but. But anyway, these two had horns and they came to the rescue of that water buffalo and with the horns threw the cat into the air. Gorded. Gorded. But I don't know if the the victim was too victimized, you know, so the water buffalo that had fangs in his ass didn't like turn around and poke it. It was laying down. It was losing the battle when these other two came to rescue it. So like I'd say, I don't know if it would survive from the gallery. It's amazing how a carnivorous creature that's outweighed by a substantial margin can bring down. Well, it's just like the lions when they go after it directly. Well, they do it as a team. Hyenas are the most dreaded teams, predatory teams. They're smart. They systematically pick out the weak, the old, the vulnerable. The wrecked. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I know we digress tremendously. Last one here for now. From the article. The charity Oxfam International just reported at the World Economic Forum that by 2016, the world's richest 1% will own 48% of the world's worth. That's what they want. That's what they want. That's what greed is all about. It never ends. And we're allowing it. The people are allowing it. At the same time, Oxfam also reported that one in nine people in the world don't have enough to eat and more than 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 a day. This is an outstanding reading of high importance. And you know why? You know who's partially to blame? You people out there with voter apathy that stood home this past November 4th, 2014. It is the people who don't give a shit and don't get involved that don't vote. I blame you. Shame on you. Continue. Is it any wonder that there is so much fear, hunger, mistrust and strife in the world right now? How sad is it in a world with so many riches and resources provided to us by our maker that this inequality still exists? If only a small amount of the wealth and resources owned by the world's richest was used to assist others in need, there might be less turmoil in the world. Well, people don't realize, we the people don't realize the power we really do have. Hey, one soldier ant in the Amazon jungle is nothing but a whole colony unstoppable. Get out of their way. That's all I have to tell you. I don't care how big you are. People have to do in America look to the soldier ant, look to the soldier ant. According to independent sources or whatever, we have enough food right now to feed 14 billion feet. We only have seven. So of course that puts the Monsanto bullshit to rest. We're trying to feed the world with GMO these grubs. You make more for people. And what about that sell out little pussy wimp, Jamie Oliver, sir? Well, he's just going to say that's the lie that Jamie fell for. Oops, I'm not involving on GMOs. You didn't deny it yet that I know of. He didn't deny it yet? Hell no. It's like Tom Brady saying I don't know anything about unbelievable. Oh, I want to say hello to my very long time good friend, the one and only Iron Man Vinnie Blake. Iron Man Vinnie Blake, I send my greetings. He is now trying to master the kettlebell and he's doing a great job. Iron Man Vinnie Blake is a smart cookie. He bought an old house and a nice wood burning stove already broken in and he has been heating his home with wood that he has delivered. And you got to keep it dry, of course. He's doing great. How do you keep it dry? You got to have put it in some kind of shed. You got to have some kind of, you know, he's got a garage. I think he's got it. I think he might have a shed now. You got to keep the, of course you got to keep the firewood dry. Well, usually if you look at old pictures of places that used to be in this area the wood was piled outside. At one time, well, wood rods. If wood rods, it can bring termites. You got to worry about that too. You know, at one time the kitchen stove was wood burning and for cooking and for heating the home. We had coal. What do you mean? We had a coal burning stove in the kitchen and a pot belly coal burning stove in the kitchen. Now what did your mom use for cooking? The coal burning? So you had the, it's like a cast iron kitchen. It's a big stove that cooked, you cooked on and it heated the home. That's almost like living off the grid. Almost. Well, we were poor. But you had electricity. No, of course we had electricity. Who doesn't have electricity today except in Haiti? I think, I think maybe even the Amish have electricity. They may, but I don't know, I don't know if they, you know. Is it time for your lunch? Okay. It is time. It is time for the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman's gastronomic delight known as lunch and we will be joined by our voiceover artist, William H. Moore, the third with Promo and his words of wisdom and then we'll be back for the balance of the show. All right. And whatever you're reading it's very aromatic. It's chili. Oh, you're having chili today. All right. I'm William Moore. Wake up, people, because the truth is often, very often, a very, very hard pill to swallow.

And you will also I, well, you have seen the very deep banners that I attached before and after William H. Morrill. I hope you've enjoyed them or anything from them, including the banner about the what was that, the $8 billion in food stamp cuts and then yet they turned around and gave $83 billion to the bank industry as subsidies otherwise known as the corporate welfare. And that's that as long as the money's in politics this is where we're at. Corruption. Corruption bribery, yes. What did somebody say on Facebook last night from another country? He said in your country you call them lobbyists. We call them corrupt. They also, also a subsidy is a bribe or a payback. A payback. Somebody does you a favor and their payback in the United States they kindly called a subsidy. It's called welfare for the rich is what it really is. See the biggest blood-sucking parasitic moochers are not the poor in America. But do you know how many poor people in the middle class have bought into that lie? Especially the idiots that live in the red states. Oh yeah, there was a family there on Facebook. Oh family of po-folk. Yeah, we vote Republican. We vote Republican. We're on social security disability. The other thing is the wife is pregnant. How much hypocritical can you get? How stupid could you get? It's no wonder we're the laughing stock of the world. We've got idiots like that living out yonder in Dindar Bible built tea bagger red states and then you have idiots like Sarah Palin getting FaceTime. Michelle Bachman is not relevant anymore. No. None are relevant. You thought she was? None of the two are relevant. I mean in reality what's his name? Mike Huckabee? Mike Huckabee is really an idiot like that a nut. Like that doesn't stand a chance of getting elected. But he gets FaceTime. Right-Wing Pastors like John Hagey and other nuts like him they get FaceTime. They're not relevant really but they get FaceTime. Now before we say bye-bye please explain what's going on between Fox News and Jesse Ventura. Jesse Ventura had a court case against Mr. Kyle whose story is American Snipe. Mr. Kyle said a functioning organization or bar, I think it was a bar said that he punched Jesse I think he blacked his eye or something like that. So Jesse sued him for defamation. Not for assault. Defamation of character. Defamation of character. And he won $3.8 million. Now people like Fox News and etc that Jesse defamed Mr. Kyle he saw an American in the movie etc that movie is great. Okay, Jesse said that he courted Mr. Kyle in some lies, right? What are some lies? He lied. He said he punched Jesse out. In a public place. That was the lie. Nothing about the movie itself. The movie was not made then. Oh, okay. As far as I know. Oh, that's what it was about. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah. Oh, I thought it maybe. He was trying to make himself weaker than Jesse Vensura, a hero. I punched Jesse out, baby. In other words, it's like somebody seeing Steven Segal or Jean-Claude Van Damme and somebody wants to look macho in front of his girlfriend so he picks a fight with her. Yeah. I understand now. Petty bullshit. Well, what the point is that was a liar. Jesse won $1.8 million for calling him a liar. I assumed the crime of defaming. I assumed there were witnesses in the establishment. I don't know what the court case said. He won $1.8 million. That's all I know. Okay. So he won the case. The man was a liar. Okay, now I fully understand what happened. I thought maybe there were some parts of the movie that were fabricated, but that wasn't the case. Nothing with the movie. The movie makes him out to be a hero. That's what the movie is. But as I said at the beginning of the show, I don't think you're a hero. If you're up on top of a roof and you shoot somebody in the back as a sniper. You mean if you have a high-powered rifle, let's say you have a Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifle with a scope and you're up on a roof somewhere and you're saying should I engage? Should I pop this one? Or yes or no? Right, I'll pop them. He probably had to go ahead. He could go ahead from the United States government and pop them. That's not the point. It was just like it wasn't a hero, the CIA idiot who shot Martin Luther King. Was he a hero? The American media, the US media never brought that to the public about the Martin Luther King's family winning Well, they didn't win the suit at that time. Well, eventually they did win. But it took years. That's the point. It took years and they approved that Martin Luther King was assassinated by the US government. People knew that. That was never announced in the US media. No, of course. They don't announce that stuff. Gary Know points up that big farmer the companies have ensued so many times over so many medicines and etc. You don't hear of it because they put the gag orders on. Approved by the FDA. This drug was approved by the FDA originally. But I'm saying in the court cases they were issued. We're going to pay you the money but you have to sign this gag order. What about the so-called friendly fire that the airline that took off from Air Asia or the one in Ukraine? No. What about that plane that flew over Long Island? Ah, yeah. Socrates, they called it the area. I remember that when I was watching Channel 2 at that night. I saw the whole thing. But that's what they say. They never approved that. No. But they say that the United States brought down that one, the plane in the Ukraine. I don't know what the hell happened to Air Asia. And sacrificed all those people. All I know about the Air Asia. For what reason? The Air Asia one. The co-pilot. The black boxes show that he was at the controls. And he went up too fast to extreme an angle and it stalls. And then it came down. A jet stall is capable of stalling? Are you kidding me? Not just the prop plane? No, no, no. Jets can stall. I heard jet fuel is more or less kerosene. That's what it is. And I hear there's a new jet aircraft that seats like one or two people that can fit in your driveway and get a jet engine. There's a car that can go up. It's like the whole year is big. There's a car that becomes a plane. Yeah! Might be the same one. The wings fold up. That's the one. I hear the engine is small. And the a car that becomes a boat goes out there into the ocean. There's a car. Hey, you got seat planes on you. It could be a car, a boat. It could be an amphibious vehicle that could fly. You got the all-terrain vehicles that the ducks have. They have two of them. You go in the water with them. Like an amphibious vehicle. And then some of them I don't know if this one can hover or not. No. I hear it takes a lot of fuel to hover for a jet to hover. But anyway, I digress. All right, so what's the comments? Let us come in. The divergence within Islam began in the 18th century with the advent of Wahhabism named after Muhammad ibn al-Wahab who believed that Muslims had strayed from the authentic teachings of Islam. You had explained to me many times that the third caliph Uthman hid the original teachings of Muhammad. He didn't hide them. He didn't destroy them. He put out his own and destroyed all the other Karams in existence. That's kind of what I just said, wasn't it? No, because you didn't put out a new version. Oh, kind of similar to the Republicans trying to rewrite the Bible today. That's correct. They put out a couple of versions which alter very drastically the King James version. There's a similarity here. The similarity in any government or something that censors they put out their own. You know? The movement condemned visiting shrines and tombs of the saints. Muslims who did not agree with his teachings were excommunicated or killed in an effort to purge Islam from what al-Wahab believed to be unsanctioned innovations. Wahabi military campaigns waged war against moderate Muslims. Demolishing Islamic shrines and slaughtering entire villages of Muslims who did not subscribe to the extremism. Yeah, and we're talking about religion which has never been proven. This same extreme ideology is behind the present-day destruction of shrines and mosques and the continuing violence against minority and mainstream Muslims all over the world such as Shiites in Pakistan. Wahabiism would have remained a footnote in history as a puritanical cult movement even after it was adopted as the official state religion or not for a single factor. The discovery of oil The flood of petrodollars meant the Saudis could then invest in institutions that create extreme and conservative religious leaders who in turn helped maintain the Saudi royal family's position of power. Although Wahabiism itself does not advocate violence it does emphasize anti-seminism and misogany it also bars interaction with non-Muslims except in cases of necessity and the excommunication of any Muslims who do not subscribe to its deeply conservative and culturally isolated ideology. It thus lays the intellectual foundations for jihadism a rogue offshoot of Wahabiism that encourages a terrorism we see on TV screens. Radicalization of Muslim youths can thus no longer be seen as an isolated domestic problem when it is funded by wealthy Wahhabis who are continuously supporting groups to further their ideology much like the GOP does I mean the corporations do to the GOP to further their ideology it is clear that Wahhabism is not Islam it is a cult movement like the Christianity the right-wing Christianity of the United States that uses Islamic terminology and has hijacked the religion using petrol dollars in the process its adherents are killing and maiming more Muslims than people of other faith and are creating deep vital rifts and lasting entities within their own community emboldened by anarchy and failed and failing states funded by petrol dollars justified by fundamentalist ideology extremist groups such as al-Qaeda and the Islamic states are seizing the moment and endeavoring to impose Wahhabi ideas wherever possible the Saudi government still promotes Wahhabism at home scholars, Sadiq, Hamid of Liverpool University in England has estimated that the Saudi government spends two billion to three billion dollars a year spreading Wahhabism that includes scholarships for non-Saudis to travel to Saudi Arabia and subsidized books and other educational materials some Western Muslim institutions have accepted Saudi funding although many poor Muslim communities around the world appreciate what they see as investment in education it lays the foundations for extremism once young people are taught to see mainstream Muslims as irredeemably other once the seeds of misogamy and anti-Semitism have implanted they are hard to uproot the global propagation of a doctrine that has been apparent to jihadism impedes counter-terrorism efforts Islam is at a point in history where a key American ally is spending money laying the foundations of an extreme interpretation the result is more fertile ground for jihadist narratives it is time we turned our attention to this issue we are entitled to ask some tough questions of not just Saudi Arabia of our own government excellent deep reading we are not actually finished with Islam Islam is a religion of none my brother was killed by terrorists by false Muslims these were the words of Malik Maribet the brother of the policeman who was shot in the Charlie Hebdo attack he's right but his point raises another question that doesn't get the attention it deserves how did Islam come to the point where charismatic firebrands like Jamal Bankhal who radicalized two of the Paris terrorists are seen as authoritative and venerable who come totally bonkers in the United States with the right wing how did the Roman Catholic Church become an exponent of Christianity with the inquisition and suppressing oppressing science preventing people of science from doing it the church is based on the Babylonian mystery religion not Christianity magical mystery all religions have their extreme self described Terry Jones caused an international furor when he threatened to burn the Ku Klux Klan has been parading nominally Christian symbols like Bibles and crosses but these lumens are seen for what they are cults yes that appropriate the symbolism and the style of a religion for their own amoral and our control is their objective yes when a voice like Bankhal or Anwar a walking a walking before him or Osama Bin Laden before that preach the message that Islam requires a murder straight reversal of the truth their message finds fertile ground it is time for the debate on recent events the move from the relatively familiar ground of questions about freedom of speech and the importance of satire to thornier and less uncomfortable questions how did Islam come to this point how did Christianity come to this point in the US same thing when non-Muslims write about these topics they tend to stop at the border of these questions that's for good reason they stand on the threshold of the internal theological debate of a great world religion to advance further means going into territory about which even commentators don't feel they can bluff their way through it means engaging with 12 centuries worth of theological debate and risking offending millions with a slip of the pen safer to avoid questioning all together just as you don't have to be a Christian who have a working knowledge of the difference between Catholicism and Protestantism you shouldn't have to be a Muslim to understand the difference between some of the radically different strands of which within doing so is key to understanding how we got there most branches of Islam are quiet pietistic apolitical these are the millions Muslims for whom like people of faith around the world being religious means prayer study self-reflection not converting by the sword no, not converting by the sword with an ideology that is not proven yet no religion has been proven so therefore religion should ever be involved with politics and they're not supposed to be in the United States nope Mr. Huckabee and his ilk nobody tells them to read their constitution and shut the hell up nobody challenges them they say that the constitution isn't Christian document no it's not and we should honor it prove it prove it or shut up put up or shut up put up or shut up nobody is challenging these nuts coming from the right wing as the court case says box screws is allowed to lie and why are they allowed to lie because we gave them that pride right to do that ah boy the writer goes on to blame the deaths of two police officers on a deranged man who should have been in treatment but then makes a convoluted case about the Second Amendment and the power of people owning guns this point could have been better made by addressing the political correctness when it comes to helping and committing the mentally ill this country has failed miserably in controlling the mentally unstable Romer Regan let all the mental institutions open the doors he put them out into the streets all the patients from the mental institutions most of the gun murders are done by people who did not own the gun legally see what I mean I told you gun control won't work people who do bad things with guns get it through the black market or they take somebody else's gun so it's more about controlling people than guns and as far as the two deaths of New York City police officers are concerned these brave men died because of the killer's hatred of police however and this is my aside the head of the NRA Mr. Lao Pierre he says the only way to stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun well the two policemen had guns what about the other two policemen up there that don't shop it in the northwest or whatever and they were shot they had guns they also said that bullet travels much faster than calling 911 well yeah but the point is obviously the answer to that question of a bad man with a gun is not a man because there were two men with guns what did he do sneak up behind the two of them pop them both in the head before the other one could react after the other one gets shot come on didn't that happen in a wild wild west with gun fighters and minors they get shot from in the back and what was the answer Wild Bill Hickock himself was shot in the back of the head by a coward when he came into town wearing the gun he had to check the gun that was Wyatt Earp right Wyatt Earp especially when you go into the saloon oh my god according to the movies they didn't just order a shot of whiskey they took the bottle they bought the whole bottle as New York City and the nation continued to read more the assassination of the two New York City police we have heard all the accolades and all the victory on yet little about the gun used in the killings of the two of them we know that the semi automatic weapon was purchased from Arrowhead Pawn Shop in Georgia in 1996 since the killer was a convicted felon he would not have been able to legally purchase the gun for himself as of this writing for himself, but he could buy for somebody else and just decide to keep it investigators are still trying to figure out how this gun ended up in his possession we know that 57% of guns recogenate from 1.2% of gun sellers common sense begs the question if we know who they are why are they allowed to remain in business yep perhaps the New York City police should turn their ire and their backs on the national rifle association whose main objective is to ensure easy secretive access to guns large and small restilling the coffers of gun manufacturers regardless who acquires the gun regardless who purchases the gun they don't want you to know who did that and perhaps they should the same toward the law makers do the National Rifle Association's bidding we don't know if more stringent federal gun laws would have prevented this latest tragedy but clearly it wouldn't hurt to try just like that person said from overseas you call it lobbyist we call it corruption it's a lobby right NRA is a lobby right oh well we have time for a we have time for a change of pace I think I know what's coming it's not tomato paste we're toothpaste Tom's of Maine toothpaste it's what I think it is where's Tom's of Maine I don't got that I think it's a a deer somebody no Emily Dickinson Dickinson all right go ahead when I started bird watching 14 years ago I didn't know a coot from a cormorant certainly a lot of looms around though I I had just moved into a house by the celery farm natural area in Allendale that's in Pennsylvania yeah no Allendale New Jersey I wonder what the salary of the celery farm workers get it the salary of the celery the salary comes from the word salt because wages used to be paid in salt salt was that precious back then absolutely well the salt I use certainly is precious to me the Himalayan pink salt then I also use a good sea salt yeah and I began ambling around the 107 acre refuge to see what critters I could find that is when I met a young hot shot named Rob Fanning and realize how skilled he was and locating and identifying all sorts of birds and how gracious he was at sharing that knowledge with a clueless green horn like me wouldn't it be funny if his last name was Beekman or featherman or something alright I'll continue Fanning has nurtured dozens of other North Jersey burgers in the same way not only to enjoy the quest to see new species but also to take the time to appreciate the beauty of birds we see every day birds are wonderful birds are great the closest modern relatives to the dinosaur and they're gorgeous well the males are these days when the Waldwick native isn't at his job in Franklin Lakes he's either birding or leading walks for New Jersey Audubon at such local hotspots as the celery farm Garrett Mountain in Woodland Park or Decourt Park in Lindhurst last year Fanning reached a New Jersey milestone shared by a few others he saw his 400th species in the garden state not a bad feat considering that only 300 are usually seen here equally impressive as Bergen County Life List is at 294 I barely have that many in the United States with 2015 recently upon us I asked Fanning to share his thoughts on birding in the region and his advice for new birders since this column is the bird watcher it only makes sense to interview the best around question just how good is the birding here in New Jersey bird is the word New Jersey is one of the best birding states because of its wide variety of habitats and its location along the Atlantic flyway that's true many different habitats in New Jersey marshland, swampland, mountains that and the other thing North Jersey in particular in particular has a large amount of woodlands and mountains making it especially great in spring and fall for warblers and other songburys I have a wall in my yard and I'm not in a rural area I got cardinals I have a lot of robins you're supposed to keep them robins cardinals you've seen 400 different species cardinals I saw the first blue jade this summer ever in my yard first blue jade no hummingbirds though they don't like our town here they probably get spooked it's too congested mockingbirds I see them all the time I haven't seen sparrows I haven't seen sparrows I haven't seen sparrows we've got hawks some blackbirds screaming out here this morning of course crows they always come in the morning and then they take off anyway Garrett mountain wild doves lots of them lots of them Garrett mountain is one of the best migration hotspots on the east coast Garrett mountain is a lovely place to be it's a beautiful park too question what's the best unsung burning spot in north Jersey is that redacted I vote for Halifax road Lake Henry in Mahua Mahua is a Mahua is mostly rural but mountainous though but they do have suburbs there at the foothuyos on the rabbit holes it's huge it's huge question do you have a favorite bird pardon me but

ospreys question what is your advice for a new bird get a good pair of binoculars good one good answer you know something Jerry told me I mean he has all kinds of expensive astronomy equipment but if he had a star roll over again he would get a very good pair of binoculars with panoramic capabilities because with a telescope in a lot of cases you see a blurred heavenly body in the expensive telescope okay it's not the Hubble you know you're on earth you got light pollution you got the clouds you got overcasts but with binoculars or actually a good pair of binoculars whether you are interested in astronomy or bird watching is good to have get a good pair or get a cheap pair bird as often as you can both alone and with others learn and study your region's expected birds and the

hard-hitting truth thank god most of the readings were hard-hitting okay so we ended off with this story about birds what sort of bird bird bird bird bird bird bird And it's a no-brainer. If you're a bird, hang out by a good bird feeder that's kept full. Birds are not stupid. You know, the term birdbrain is really not fair because a lot of birds are very intelligent. They say that ravens, which I guess are in the crow family, are the most intelligent bird on the planet. Did you happen to see that video a couple of days ago, a few days ago, on Facebook? It probably took place in India, or wherever they had the monkeys running around. Yeah. And it was at a train station. And obviously, a monkey got hit by a train. And it was either in shock or knocked out or whatever. And there were two other monkeys there, and one monkey was trying to bring the other monkey around. He was doing all kinds of things that the monkey was bringing around. Yeah, and he dumped them in the water and everything. Yeah. And the monkeys did come around finally. Well, monkeys are primates. They're not stupid animals. Yeah, but he got hit by a train, and I thought maybe he was more damaged than that. Well, monkeys, maybe the flexibility of the monkey saved them. I don't know, but he looked at his arms and legs, looked okay. He was kind of dirty for, you know, what his friend was good for. Monkeys in India, they hang out very close to populated areas. Yeah, they walk right through. They bag, you know, they panhandle. Seriously, they steal what they can and move. Yeah, Republicans wouldn't like them very much. How do you know? Monkeys. They wouldn't like them very much. Hey, a Republican told me in Florida Keys, see those pelicans that come by to Marina every day, they're looking for a handout. They're looking for handouts. A Republican and a born-again, holy-roller Christian. It's funny how the pattern works out. It's also funny that if you read the Bible, it gets the numbers. You find out that when the Lord brought the Israelites into the land of Canaan, they divided it up amongst themselves. Nobody paid for it. Nobody bought the land. Right. So is that a handout? Yes. How about in the United States of America? Back in the 1800s, when the United States of America gave away land in the West, as long as you went on and farmed it for five years. Or how about when the United States gave out land to the Red Elos? Handouts. What about corporate subsidies today? Handouts. But all of that is okay. But God forbid you help a poor man across the spectrum. And the social services to help the poor with food stamps and welfare is a mere drop in a bucket compared to corporate subsidies and uploaded military budget. You know, I just read before that $8 billion of food stamps cut, $83 billion in bank industry subsidies to recap the beginning of the show. It's absurd. It's petty. It's coal-hearted. It's crazy. It's a mean spirit. It's crazy, yes. It's hypocritical. Oh, it's a wall. It's hypocritical. Thank you for joining us for this week's Uncensored Heart-Hitting Truth. And don't be hypocritical. Don't be hypocritical. And, you know, man, this weekend is cold over here. In the Northeast, I'm telling you, it's really cold. I mean, once in a while, I go outside to, you know, get a whiff of fresh, pure air. It's frozen air, you know. But the guy in my neighborhood has a big fireplace, and I love that aroma. I love that beautiful rustic smell of burning wood. Actually, that's kind of what I smell when I go get the Smoke Kill Boss at the Polish pork store. You know, but anyway, say good-bye. Here's your brownie. So long, Smoke Perjoni. Smoke Perjoni? You get me hungry, man. Yeah, get me hungry. This has been a Mega Live 21 production.
