Bernack is doing right now he's printing and printing and printing so we ain't recovering and recovering and recovering there's no recovering so therefore the the money is like monopoly money well that's what it's becoming very you know and and when and when the banker the banksters and and and Wall Street and politicians the Republican Congress when they pass go they don't pay $200 and they don't go to jail speaking of go and jail you know monopoly took the go to jail thing out of it oh really yeah who did that Republicans probably Wall Street you know had some influence there because nobody ever goes so so so so in the in the greedy capitalist game of monopoly who made that Milton Bradley one of those companies anyway in this all greedy game of capitalism monopoly the board game they took away punishment for going to jail or do not pass go on their hand unethical unethical tactics or underhanded tactics you do not you do not pay a fine and go to jail in monopoly anymore interesting interesting so I guess that's part of the lawless society like Dodge City one gigantic Dodge City so in other words the whole conservative idea of selfishness being a virtue and greed being good this is all part of it they just took the penalty the punishment out of the monopoly game doesn't do that in real life so they might as well do it in the board game yeah nobody in Goldman Sachs or any of the banks in Wall Street nobody ever went to jail but if you protest against them you're terrorist you get arrested if you're an innocent little college girl with no weapons on her possession you get pepper maced in the face maybe kicked you know roughed up by a cop and I read and arrested and arrested interesting anyway let me formally pipe aboard my co-host and mentor and founder of a newsletter censored in 1977 with my authentic Boson's whistle and by the way I am very proud at the all-new tweaked and remodeled newsletter censored page on Facebook you know the page where you can click like there's a like button check it out there's a lot of good stuff on there including information about our commercial voiceover specialist William H. Moral the third who God willing knock on wood will be calling I left him a voice message as a double reminder but he's got an incredible memory I'm sure you won't forget I think he usually calls in about 10 minutes after 3 p.m. Eastern Standard Time because we're on we're in the Northeast knock Billy Junior off his gargoyle pedestal here he's wow now I didn't really sorry about that Billy Junior so many decibels it's like my brief like the old Memorex commercial when the one that was the Ella Fitzgerald hits the high note and she breaks and she breaks the glass yeah is it live or is it Memorex anyway welcome to our progressive liberal Starship the Rev. Dr. William J. Eisenman how are you feeling this week sir I need a shave well you are the mysterious co-host which which is never seen so you don't have to worry huh mustn't forget the levity bells yeah well hold on the mysterious disembodied spirit known as the Rev. Dr. William J. Eisenman who is never seen doesn't have to worry about his hairstyle his hair brushed shaving makeup you can call me fuzz or like some supposedly straight celebrity men they're starting to wear eye makeup hey I think they got that from the Rockstar Elvis used to do that Elvis used to have eyeliner on really that's a bit much okay I don't I'm sure I will have other inductees later on into the chiseledest Hall of Shame but I only have one so we're because we're gonna get right into the readings we're gonna sink our teeth right into the readings early today and this first inductee is the infomercial that's that has been around for a while called Magic Jack and now they have Magic Jack Plus and what is Magic Jack Plus well it simply means that for $20 a year you plug it into your it's a little gadget with a USB I mean ethernet connection and you plug it and one side is USB the other side has like an ethernet jack or something and you plug it into your computer modem and your PC or your laptop and for $20 a year you have unlimited calling okay you can use your now well that was your issue to phone number and it can it can work through your home telephone okay or work through your gee you know what I don't I'm not sure if it'll work through the cell phone or not I never asked that question but I know it definitely it definitely can work through your home phone or you can talk on the computer but it does work through the home phone if you have one I imagine it works through the cell phone so because everybody more people have cell phones than home phones you know the networks yeah yeah well they rip you up horizon rip you off to have a home telephone but you know now the technology is the smartphone that's it period forget about home phones now Magic Jack plus enables you to use it and make calls without the computer being boot up the computer does not have to be booted up naturally your your cable modem is still on Vonage has been like that you can make the phone calls without the computer well it's not it's it uses the modem okay to make you can make unlimited long-distance calls I think including Hawaii Puerto Rico Alaska you know territories yeah well you can make international if the other person has Magic Jack then you don't have to pay for international calling but why am I inducting them Magic Jack plus into the chiseless Hall of Shame well what they don't tell you is in order to get Magic Jack plus for $20 a year for the extra convenience you have to buy it in a five-year bundle yeah they're using the word bundle T-Mobile and Verizon uses the word a contract right you have to sign like a two-year contract now with this economy lack of a job market lack of how can one sign a contract to pledge that they're going to make the payments for two years with this type of disastrous situation that we have in the United States to sign any contract to pledge that you're going to make payments in a timely fashion for two years and that helps them stay in business of course and this includes other bills that people have to pay where they have the automatic payment program where they automatically deduct the your premiums your payments from your checking account on time you know automatically you authorize them to do this now what if some something happens and your checking account is depleted for you know maybe some unseen financial woe bankruptcy comes upon you can still grab your stuff bankruptcy a layoff of a job somebody screws up with their fixed income you know social security whatever you know like I was trying to I was trying to explain to mass Bob I says you know and Ken kept on insisting that your yeah Ken create was insisting that your social security disability is safe if you do not make us over a certain amount part-time and I said don't let that fool you don't let them trick you if you have a part-time job for a certain amount of time they will send you a letter stating that you have to get reviewed again by a case worker because you might be eligible for work because you have held this part-time job for so long so much time and they will use that against the disabled person stating that oh you you've held this part-time job meanwhile it could be a hamburger flippin minimum wage job that you can't survive on without family charity okay and they consider it consider it gainful employment but of course they do the Republicans want to use any excuse to take away your fixed income no matter what so if so if the if the if the handicapped person if the disabled person gets a part-time job where they they'll they might be working two times a week you know like far less than than 12 hours you know chump change as I like to call it chump change which is what it is they'll say oh you held this you actually go to work and you you've been here a year now meanwhile you're making chump change I don't trust them they will use it as an excuse to have the law kid it they have the law so security law kid it k.i.d.d.a. yeah which states very emphatically that if you can work you are no longer disabled that's right automatically somebody who is totally and permanently disabled if they get a job right they are no longer disabled it's magic magic it's magic thanks to all the disabled people back in the 1980s was it during Reagan when they went to Washington and they and they're showing these poster boys look at him look how disabled he is and he works full-time good for you you know they're all of course all the time ever all the conservatives are like that's just great oh is it is what an example we have what a fine example we have here there's a woman that's in a wheelchair who swims hey Republicans they're thrilled love that oh she's physical she's good she does laps in a pool oh she can get a job how independent these disabled people are we're so proud of them and all the teabaggers probably say the same thing oh yeah you don't have to be on the dole anymore not they don't tell you that the the congressmen and senators are on the dole those are the ones who are they're on a dole at their own and so are the corporations that get bailed out they're on the dough for free Exxon Mobile GE and etc are on the dough they're all on the dough but you know if if if a poor person or a handicapped person's on the guy for a bit or a senior oh that got forbid so meanwhile all these handicapped I'm sorry disabled people were made to feel guilty the conservatives laid that big guilt trip on them and they and they caved in they were made to feel very guilty for being at home sitting at home collecting social security disability checks or SSI or SSI or whatever and they were made to feel guilty so they of course they they're like dopes they're all in Washington with big smiles on their face and this is the kid a law right well that's the law they refer to that you know if you work you are no longer disabled that's kid so so kid up is just a fancy trick of doping of doping the handicap kiddo was a the guy was I believe he had tuberculosis I believe he had tuberculosis really doesn't matter it was a disease process that got better he got better and they know along he went back to work and they no longer said he was disabled so they use an infection but that yeah but that same law let's take a person who had polio doesn't apply it shouldn't have became totally and permanently disabled part permanent is the key word well no those words mean nothing if he works he too is no longer disabled this is the ludicrousness of the law I mean ludicrous ludicrous that's the word as I always get to do you understand I use the example if a man with no hands like no arms and no legs gets a job as second base for the Yankees he's no longer considered disabled now when he goes home it looks in a mirror he's got no arms and legs not a second not a second base man not a second base a player on the team just the base just the base that everybody slides into when they try to steal they go from first to second and the cleats you know and ram it yeah now that they could they're considered gainfully implausible that's correct and yeah like I was saying before these disabled people are tricked and duped and made to feel guilty if they're collecting from a form of social service to collect for fixed income you know you know that the policy of the Social Security Administration is to refuse one third of those who apply initially because they know they will not come back initially off the bat correct off the bat that's correct they know that people certain people will not pursue they will not go they play their inventor they play the numbers game that's correct and it is official policy and they work because they know they're gonna win at the numbers game because not everybody has the backbone the gumption to to appeal and reappeal and oh except for the Republican Congress they'll reveal everything repeal everything instead of like improving Obamacare they just repeal yeah if it's for the masses and poor people and the mainstream they repeal it if it's for if it's free money if it's welfare for the rich and themselves they won't they won't repeal it they love it they love it the devil's economics they love it's a it's a big double standard they're hypocrites the word of the worst kind but the American media continues to give them FaceTime and they never mention all the the dirty tactics that the Republicans that they do they never mention it like they have no opinion like like they're afraid of saying something well they consider like two parties there's two points notice there's only one party the other party is total evil the Republican Party is total evil it's a lesser of the two the Democrats are the lesser of the two evils they're both two party system they're both but the Republicans are evil yeah they're evil they're pure evil yeah well they they they both take campaign contributions from corporations and elitists they both accept campaign contributions they're all corporates corporates is right all of them but you know I know there's groups out there there's organizations that they still think the Democratic Party are just 100% peachy keen and and you know and and and they they can do no wrong and you know people are the average person is so easily like fooled and hypnotized and and you know it's so easy to get people to follow you because people in general are not independent free thinkers with open minds and they certainly don't do their homework no they're lazy or you wouldn't have like 40% of people watching Fox News yeah who don't know the truth now you did about certain even science at science they're too lazy to research anything and it's like I mean do your homework research question everything like the rest nothing and trust not a trust nothing just like a George Carlin and late the late George Carlin Jesse Ventura people like this question everything and be a real independent free thinker and just realize that hey I'm sick and tired of voting for the lesser of the two evils all the time I want somebody who has good intentions 100% but you got to take the money out of politics change the system you got to take the money out of politics which means a brilliant qualified poor poor slub that wants to run for president or governor or congressman or senator should be allowed to get enough votes to get on the ballot and be able to debate a rich candidate that has millions and millions of dollars donated to him or her and be able to debate and allow the American people to get to know them as an independent progressive hopefully the progressive liberal independent no party affiliation and this person who is definitely qualified to hold office who's brilliant who's got the character and everything and it's very honest should be allowed to run without the big the big bucks they should be allowed to do it you have to change
