Please just call them even schmucks Assholes they're just even pieces of garbage. Whatever you want to call the party of I'm being a little sarcastic here the party of morals patriotism and family values Just voted to take food stamps away from soldiers and their families Yeah, we will be reading something on that. All right um United States has been at war for 12 years now At a cost of four to six trillion dollars Imagine what that could have done to main street. Okay Interesting interesting where their priorities are Uh, but their priority is to cut to take food out of the mouths of poor children Well, they don't that's a problem Always find money for war but not for education. Yeah in the poor Yeah in the homeless and uh, and yeah education like you said and and and keeping uh Putting money back in the pocket of the true consumer and backbone of america The middle class consumer 70 percent of the economy and take the tax burden off the shoulders and backs of the middle class And put it where rightfully belongs as it was over 30 years ago back on the rich Thanks to ronald reagan the middle class have the tax burden. That's what mr. Jerry brown is doing in the cali forna Isn't it? Where's my chilele? I want to salute Uh, was it uh, this is his third term in his in his political career. I think i think jerry was in for two terms I believe so the third term the uh illustrious comeback of uh Uh now california governor democrat jerry brown who I believe is a More of a liberal than a lot of democrats. Oh, yeah, mr. Moon beam. They used to call that's all right I like moon liberally was moon beams are very uh romantic and relaxing But you know if you're part of the adams family you have to put that moon screen on so you don't get a moon burn Remember how they used to sit out with the reflector Morticia and gomez adams all right next there are 382 millionaires in congress Now many became rich at our expense Not all but a lot of them but the average americans net value dropped 8 But the net value of the average congressman Increased 25 percent Ain't that something ain't that a kicking in Like dean martin said Okay, 25 percent the the average working stiff mainstreamer Of course it went down. Of course the average salary doesn't even come close to the cost of living been stagnant hasn't gone anywhere Wages haven't gone anywhere, you know, and they always have plenty more than enough money for for war profiteering And forgiving themselves automatic raises Um, all right, it's interesting Got two more here um The average male workers in the united states Made 283 dollars less last year than they did 44 years ago That's that quote was made by senator bernie sanders Of vermont All right. Oh, that's what I said wages have gone nowhere Also by bernie sanders of vermont The average the average female workers earned $1,775 dollars less last year Then they did in 2007 Because all the money's going upward By deliberate It's rigged rigged siphoning up Correct now I'm done, but I just want to you said two That was the second one the two quotes by bernie sanders So all of this is kind of tied in everything I Everything I said At the beginning of this show is is tied in um There's more than enough money For uh, giving welfare to the rich and there's more than enough money For war war profiteering, you know, of course, you know subsidies subsidies for corporations Yeah, of course welfare for the rich would be your wall street bailouts and subsidies, right? Uh, the hell with main street, which represents the middle class the small businesses the entrepreneurs the mom and pop stores That would be the middle class would be main street So to hell with main street to hell with the poor to hell with the the true consumer the little guy and welfare for the rich is fine uh war profiteering at the expense of young Poor and middle class american kids. That's fine to these wicked evil a greedy old old bastards in washington They don't have enough money. So that's all fine and mind you They only work like two or three days out of the month. They don't actually they repeal two or three days out of the month They don't work repeal the kids repeal the kids now they They seem to I guess they seem to feel that they're they deserve Making 175 thousand dollars and plus Per year without perks Yeah, of course they do And we and if they shut down the government, obviously they will not shut down their pay What they may shut down the pay for social security And medicaid and stuff like that. Yeah, but not their pay. Oh, hell no hell no Now I want to do before we sink our teeth into our readings for this week I want to do a little barbara bono campaigning um Barbara brought bono has been attacked by chris christie as uh That's an spend liberal being a tax and spend liberal giving herself pay raises and raising Our tax raising our taxes 54 times Right now if you ask barbara bono about raising taxes She will most likely tell you this is we're talking about the new jersey governor race, you know Fat obese blowhard obnoxious Republican chris christie is running for reelection Barbara bono is the uh the democratic uh challenge Challenger if you ask barbara bono If you ask barbara bono about taxes I would say There's a 99 chance. She would mention taxing the rich raising the taxes on the rich and not The middle class and and and the we don't know what taxes She raised and it's not her It probably was the legislature It's center. It's center. We don't know What taxes they are saying she raised well, we know what taxes chris christie raises Yeah, that we know for sure Anything that has to do with helping the poor he eliminates and I mean everything anything And uh, he gives Multi millions of dollars If not more to his rich buddies Gives it as in welfare for the rich and his buddy contractors and his buddy contractors and Of course wants to privatize everything which doesn't really do the job As they did in Pontiac, michigan historically privatization always fails Uh, and see just 20 people in Pontiac, michigan now in the government Because they privatized everything else Is that so? Wow, and that's what's going to happen to detroit And that's what's going to happen to many many many other cities across the nation Somebody showed uh before and after photo and they said this is is this is this area Oh, no, it's detroit detroit. Yeah, that's what's happening to these poor You know these less fortunate american cities They look like a war zone for god's sakes. Well chris christie Like all republicans arrange it so the rich Do not pay any taxes. Uh, yes, that's right There they have been on a tax vacation for the past 30 years So It's really simple and really in a nutshell chris christie's record sucks He might think he's the best thing since since night baseball since lights on a baseball field But whatever slice bread, but his record sucks The only the the only entity he's ever helped besides himself were the rich Like all republicans really uh, and uh Of course republicans are are making it obvious that they're racist and uh And uh massages and homophobes and uh, you know, they uh They always seem to have a problem with immigrants of color, but never never immigrants from europe Yeah, well those uh, you know They're white Yeah, well, they're usually white and they usually won't work for less than minimum wage In the united states, whereas the well, they don't like that But they that's when they like the immigrant of color when they work dirt cheap for the corporation Right. Well, they hey, they love that. They're big on outsourcing You know getting getting more for less Buying very low and selling very high capital is the capitalist system and uh, you know everything about the republicans is negative Unless you're rich then of course you love them But we're not in that situation. So um, but it is possible for a very wealthy person To realize that there is more to life than just amassing the most money And they they they could you could be that's not what the bible says you could you could be philanthropical You could be very generous about what rich In other words, that's why it's so hard for rich men to enter the kingdom of god Because he's focused on his mullah. So what you're saying is and that becomes his god the acquisition of wealth Changes and the maintenance of it changes a person's mind And possibly spirit in other words they change Yeah, then money becomes their god and money becomes their main focus. There's that old saying That the young guide guide is liberal until he makes some money then he becomes conservative Right and you're an atheist until the plane is Your airline or is crashing into the ocean going downward then you become you quickly become very religious Yeah, there are no atheists in the foxhole There are no atheists in the fox they find god Yeah, and and so on and so on, you know people if you're Everybody seems to have The matter who you are everybody has an agenda except the truth the truth has no agenda And it usually has no backers No, that's why that's why we don't anytime somebody Presents the truth on on the internet It does not go viral. You do not get millions of hits Mm-hmm Absolutely true You don't but if you're if you have something idiotic and you make farty you got a big lie like that kid had up there That's a I was in heaven. I need to describe what was in heaven Oh, that was that was that was mist. Um, that was the mr. Malarkey's last name is malarkey Full malarkey. He was full of malarkey. You know how many people yell at us for Exposing malarkey mr. Malarkey as being full of malarkey And certainly not being a christian, of course we got tons of hits with that show Certainly not a christian No, because it was his christians don't go to heaven his description was uh Anti-biblical perhaps no no man has gone to heaven except him who came down Okay, okay says it right there in the bible. So where did he come up with this call bang heaven stuff And and did you know that he's in a better place? Did you know that in the bill of rights? The constitution in the bill of rights rather did the word god is not there. It's really not there They don't there is no mixture of of church and state In that so these these teabaggers use these religious zealot If you tell a lie often enough And loud enough People begin to accept it. That's what that whole thing is all about It's say what look nazi germany style. It worked. Well bushy boy and ever since bushy boy We now give money To faith-based initiatives in his country And in the state of new jersey Realizing that many many taxpayers in america Are not right wing fundamentalists evangelical born-again nuts And so you have to respect all people all diverse people because they all pay taxes, but they don't do that They want to force their religious lies on your kids Yeah, well, they want to make their laws and supposedly they say their laws come from the bible I mean mr. Moore wanted the 10 commandments up in his Chambers or whatever ever the hell I think it was a judge judge more He wanted the 10 commandments up there Was he a uh An adherent of the 10 commandments obviously no other hypocrites. He was a night dollar term right Okay And that's what they do. They're they're all the laws against abortion are religious laws They have nothing to do with politics Or one idea against another idea their religious crap just like prohibition. It's religion They want it in alabama You can the poor women of alabama can have in a vibrator Can have a sex shop To sell to sell them. Yeah Now what the hell Freedom South Carolina wants to make it illegal to be homeless Yeah, they criminalize the the homeless get them out of their center of town So they're like, um, it's like they treat the homeless like they were graffiti on a on a building or trash on a on On the ground like trash Literally invisible and that's not a christian attitude. Is it Invisible when it comes to getting somebody to care about you but visible for the people who want to get rid of you Yeah, but if you go down to South Carolina, you'll see the same kind of people who are doing that and making those laws and getting rid of them And everything they'll call themselves christians Yeah, that's a republican state Yeah counterfeit counterfeit christians Paper grade so all now getting back to expense on the the Extremely bloated a pentagon budget. You realize how much money these new Warplanes cost how many millions each one cost And and and and it's like and some of the planes that were built reverend bill were never used Never used never used and there's tanks that the pentagon doesn't even one you can help But they can't they can't stop the payments for them. They gotta keep buying them and they're so and and and regardless of the astronomical expense of weapons The only thing the republican congress can focus on is how much How much they want to cut in food stamps Well, gee whiz it's eating up so much of the budgets Now when you take in all right the pentagon budget is one third Of our expenditures every year One third one third, you know with all the safety net programs all together Garbage compared to that Garbage you want to cut i'll tell you where to start cutting if you're a real christian And it's the military budget Not the food stamp budget Absolutely or snap as they call it today social services make up a very tiny percentage of the budget and But not of the minds of the republicans because everybody on food stamps are Well fair is a lazy bum. Let me tell you something If the rich paid the tax rate that they used to pay back in the old days They would not Lower their standard of living. They will still be living high on the hog So you're talking about a relatively baby. You're talking about a bunch of very greedy selfish stingy people interest as far as the republican congress goes and um, they got there And they want more They got theirs. They don't care what you have. They don't care about you and they want more of what they have And these are these old fogies that I mean, what are they doing their spare time besides uh drinking martinis and uh play games on their iphone Play game mccain Yeah, what what are they what are they why do they what angry birds for what reason? Yeah, angry birds. What reason do they need to be richer than they already are these old farts It's incredible. Well because they focused on that that's has become their god I mean, I mean like dick chaney and bush. Let's let's take chaney He was so he was so hung up on on war profiteering and the guys got one foot on the banana peel and one foot halfway into grave And look he keeps coming back like a zombie. What does he need all this money for? You know He's at 1800 heart attacks And the guy keeps coming back now who's this who's this scumbag that says who's the scumbag Of all scumbags. It says that we have no right to drinking water. Was that ran paul? Yes Along with the ceo of nestly. Yes. Yeah ran paul the uh, the uh, uh, uh, uh right wing Libertarian it's actually not right wing. He's libertarian But idiot. I always I always an iron ran goofball, I always suspect had I always held libertarians and Suspect this is of course Of course their closet right wing conservatism on on the uh, fiscal issues On the social issues. They'll allow you to do anything you want Yeah, but on today. Do they believe in? In helping the poor libertarians No, that's a fiscal issue Fiscally, okay. Okay. They will not do that because for the last, uh, 40 or so years the The propaganda has been That if you give more money more money to the rich They will provide the jobs and that will trickle down to everybody in the society and will have a utopia Trickled down. Okay trickled down. So if you give uh, it's like that cartoon. I saw if you give the rich uh, um more More of a banquet to feed on more the crumbs will be bigger as they as they fall down To the poor. Well, the bible says when you hold the feasts, you're supposed to Invite the poor and the needy and the lame and If you have meat Give that too and you're not supposed to charge Usury money To the to the poor to the hungry poor if they need food And you're not supposed to get bread and you're not supposed to charge interest To the poor on loans. This is coming from the bible god's economics under god's economic standards will never change That means gold won't go up silver won't go up. No, it's center. It's center Standards will never change Therefore no one will be able to make money on the backs of hard-working other people Like the wall street does today Yeah, all right. Let us seek our teeth into these readings All right speaking of Balloon boy Okay, we have a good 30 minutes. It's not bad Regarding wono is more a net Than a democrat That's the baseball team a net She's a she's a mess fan. It's what it looks like. They're commenting on a previous letter Okay, can journalists like editorial page editor alfred p. Dolk stop fawning over this governor Who really has not accomplished very much? Like I said We continue to see very depressing economic news in new jersey And governor christy is clueless As to how to help those without a job We see him going against the will of the people on issues like same-sex marriage and the medical marijuana program Which kid which kid destroys cancer cells which continues to be unable to supply patients Or to make it easier for any future patients to participate. What is the appeal of this man? Is none. I bet he's not even in favor of stem cell research Which helps the the the sick But and will will help and will help, you know many more Speaking of the food stands the snap programs Hi That's my reading Yeah, well it's not blown out. I know it's not blown away I guess let's see. Someone did not wish me to leave Yes The house has voted to cut Nearly four billion dollars a year from food stands A five percent reduction to the nation's main feeding program Used by more than one in seven americans The vote Was 217 to 210 And it was a win for conservatives After democrats united in opposition And some g.o.p. Moderate said the cut was too high She just shouldn't have been a cut at all just starve out The main mainstream america because there are more Poor poor folk poor folk being created than ever before I wonder why isn't this the land of opportunity? Freedom. Yeah, if you got big bugs Oh So in other words to really be successful in this country You have to have A stake That's the americans start out money You got to have that start out capital capital Now what I remember what I read before about cutting food stamps from soldiers and their families these poor souls these poor souls Put their lives On the line life and limb on the line for this country and they come home. They come back from war Either healthy or disabled or The poor souls come back very disabled. They find out there's no jobs out there That's right republicans. There's no jobs out there and they end up living in a damn tent village in the woods and this is the thanks they get for Serving their so-called country Is to have food taken out of the mouths of their children and themselves Well as general schmedly butler pointed up years ago They do not serve their country They serve the corporations I salute the he's dead right Yeah, I salute the late great general schmedly butler I also salute Uh, paul terrors owalka winsky because right now he is Uh in india his very last stop of the uh indian club World tour 2013 Wonderful. Yes So some photos very beautiful photos from Him on his last stop. Anyway continue about this 15 republicans loaded against the measure Including two from new jersey Frank obi-anbo of atlantic And chris smith of mercer Counties the bill's savings would be achieved by allowing states To put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients to test applicants for drugs Uh, they want to make sure you don't spend your welfare money on on on drugs. What drugs and alcohol? Yeah uh But hey There's a work requirement. What about what did you just say before? No jobs Why is there a work requirement? It's I think it's an excuse just to take you off. That's correct. All the programs everything. That's locked stock and brow But it's okay for the republican congress To to get all the fancy expensive food and pastries and whatever Uh on on taxpayers money. It's okay for them to take vacations on on the taxpayers money, right? Yes It's okay for them to have to eat nothing but the best On the on the taxpayers tab And that includes republican governors like chris christie. That's okay when you look at these things objectively And you see all the things that are being done So that the poor have no choices Their choices become two Either die Or rob And then get sent to jail Work for nothing in in a privatized prisoner, right? And then you become slave labor, correct? And all these things just like this Work requirements and et cetera. It seems that they're all calculated To bring about this result At the corporations will have to pay nothing For people because they'll be so desperate Is the economy doesn't get better There's no job market the person is jobless or the and or homeless The person Uh ends up being a vagrant. They get arrested for vagrancy in the republican state They go to a privatized prison They work for free slave labor You see why i'm why i'm going around in circles with my chilele. It's all rigged man Yeah, that's what it looks like daddy. I'm sorry, uh, uh, dr. Bones McCoy I guess you could see the whole his whole body now, right? I think yeah Anyway, it's all rigged. It's it's it's one it's one big revolving door That's what they want to do the ultimate end is you you end up As a uh as an arrested vagrant In a privatized prison prison working for free It's it slavery Back in grew which is more profitable to the greedy bastards Then outsourcing jobs to uh to china and to bangladesh This is it. You see don't you wake up people man. Why why did he's stupid? Idiots these these these inbred retards out there in the red states They continue to believe the lies. They continue to vote republican And they are actually cutting their noses off despite their face Bill also would end government waivers That have allowed able-bodied adults without dependence To receive food stamps inevitably so poor Single individual people I'm gonna be off the rolls, baby They want them off the rolls. They don't want them on to be able to be on there. Yeah, definitely You see a poor person without children Uh, they classify you as such that's just an excuse not to give you any food stamps. Exactly You know, but they say that you are able-bodied and you should be able to go out there Hey, you're able-bodied Gainful employment Yeah, where where you notice this I hear there's like a waiting list to to apply in some fast food restaurants You know, you're not the only applicant that walks into a fast food restaurant Well, I believe that three quarters of the jobs that have been created Are that kind of jobs And try to survive on that kind of a job Can't I can't even a teenager can't you know why people the democrats Well, they are the lesser of the two evils because we're talking about the two-party system, which is corrupt But they are in the minority today in the house, but Has any democrat Well, maybe not televised on on the us media, but has any democrat Really held republican feet to the fire and told the american people exactly What their agenda really is? Barney sanders has tried to do that job Yeah, uh, what's his name? Alan Grayson has tried to do that job. What about mr. Bigshot out franken has he tried to do it yet? Al franken or he sold out Sends emails you don't hear anything from him when he was on uh, um Air america, what's it called air america air america when he was on air america He had a syndicated nationwide talk show and he was writing books and he was spouting Uh, his uh, uh progressive liberalism You know along with others like randy rose He sounded tough as soon as he gets elected A senator for the state of minnesota. He dummies up You don't hear about out franken anymore I'm the fucker. Excuse my language how these people sell out so easily Continuing with the food stamps dilemma. Yeah, let's get rid of this. Sorry No, I got rid of that one. Okay. I'll continue There are many reports about how our economy is on the main Oh, really the unemployment rate is dropping. Oh, sure Home values are increasing Yeah, the stock market is rising Yeah, what what what dimension is this occurring in? But the picture doesn't seem as rosy For half a million new jersey ins who are still unemployed poverty rate is arising in new jersey Almost 12 million americans remain out of work Minus four million of whom have been searching for work for more than half a year Barbara Buono has to Utilize all these facts against chris christie. Well, that's the nation there That fact is the nation is not new jersey national But new jersey is new jersey doesn't he have even had 12 million people does it? I don't know. No, I don't think so Another eight million are involuntarily working part-time All told some 22 million people are unemployed Or underemployed and of course, you know that figure is a no They're low-balling that figures. Yeah, yeah involuntarily means you're not working part-time because you want to Unfortunately unemployment benefits are drying up For many of these jobless workers Leaving them to choose between paying their bills and putting food on the table Uh, which which means they will choose Food and become homeless That's where the supplemental nutrition assistance program or snap Oh Known as food stamps come in. Oh, okay. Okay. I thought you were gonna say, uh Meals on wheels and food pantries which which give you garbage food snap The nation's most important and payahunger program Has provided a vital lifeline for unemployed workers And their families during the recession and the recovery Despite its very basic benefit levels an average of $1.40 per person per meal That won't even get you into the buffet here in modi will it? $1.40 per meal Actually the best value in our area for buffets and they're probably gonna love me for plugging them Is uh, no, I won't mention the name because they're not giving me any commission Uh, there's there's a buffet on route 17 south and rather for that, uh, you can go there for lunch for $7.40 Yeah, well here. We're only getting $1.40, which is less than what fast food would probably cost you Yeah, $1.40 is gonna get what the hell can we buy with dollar for uh, ah We can go to mcdaddo's and have a kitty meal Yeah, you can go to 99 cents you can go to you can look up at the 99 cent dollar value and you can get a little tiny hamburger And something else do we get a prize and a little is a little toy. No, wait a minute No, you can't get fries because no you can get one hamburger or a small fries I know at wendy's for a buck you get one hamburger That'll keep you alive In other words, you'll be maybe existing maybe and not nutritionally either. Yeah If you want nutrition, oh, that's a luxury In the guys in the eyes of the of the conservative government. Oh, that's a luxury The program has helped millions of unemployed individuals and their families get by during these tough times Despite this continuing need Republicans in the House of Representatives including Scott Garrett Republican of long ties, New Jersey Are proposing to cut 40 billion dollars over 10 years from the program Yeah, why don't they take a cut and they're in their bloated salaries Then they'll have to pay a dollar 40 for a meal Well for people that hardly work at all, you know, it seems appropriate. So maybe then we could we could have a work requirement for them too Yeah, well we the people are supposed to own the united states of america You know, they're they're public servants Mention that to anyone that they are servants and they'll laugh your ass their ass off at you No, they'll say, you know, we're dictators We are leaders. Well, yeah leaders That's that's how republicans view themselves leaders when they get elected You elected me and now I will do What I want to do well, that's what you elected me. Well, that's what that's what chris christy says you you uh When he first got elected and people were screaming about him and he says hey, you're stuck with me for four years You elected me exactly which means tough tough, uh, Titty tough titty or where you going? That's the way to crab cake crumbles or tough toenails or whatever you want to call it You're stuck with me and that's it. That's it That plan which doubles the already harsh cuts The house considered and rejected earlier this year Would eliminate basic food assistance for four million to six million americans Now where are these people going to go when they're thrown off? The rolls We're going to get thrown or they're going to sleep in a cardboard box and steel bread Yeah, because they have no choice. That's great And I thought america was all about choice It's going to end up uh freedom. It's going to end up a choice to start a Civil war Never going to happen Pussies because they're pussies pussies 95 percent of people are adaptive supporters. Otherwise known as pussies No, no rock in the boat that people no rock in the boat Okay, you know how many you know how many people On friggin facebook that that that spend their time on political pages Still think that their savior is going to be the democratic party And and and they have and and you know, hey even bernie sanders is too kind when he speaks to the republican congress You know, I think he called them Loosely gentlemen one time. Yeah. Well, he why is he so kind? There is this there is this attitude of deference For your colleagues In the congress, they don't respect him exactly But obama does it all the time doesn't he being kind while he was yelling the other day Oh big deal. Did he use any kind of words that actually described the actions of these evil people? No, he did not really expose The republicans and what they've been doing. I mean really tell the american people What they actually are Well, which in a nice way their demons that it is very clear not cursing. I mean their demons. They tell you what they are That mr. Norquist and etc They want to destroy the united states government, but the american people and now they have a continuing resolution And attached to that continuing resolution and if we don't get the continuing revolution Resolution The country shuts down It defaults on its bill. I know, etc. So what did they attach to the continuing resolution? Defund obama care Oh, yeah attack A health care for for the poor that people that can't afford health insurance. Yeah. Yeah attack the little guy Oh, we don't have a right to to to health care when we get sick Well, you don't have a right to water. You don't certainly have a right to health So they they want they want us to pay out of pocket for for the basics of life Well, it's all about money isn't it? Oh, yeah in their world. Yeah Devil's world, sure Uh, including poor jobless adults in areas of high employment Children working for families seniors and veterans a vote is slated for today By the way, speaking of your veterans that you were talking about What they want is them to die on the battlefield. They don't want them to come back Because then cause problems because then then they'll cost the government money So they want to use they want to use up the old weapons and the old bullets So so the the uh, the corporations that make weapons can make more money Right and the politicians can get bigger commissions off that and then they want the the troops to die Because if they come back alive, they will cost the government money. Exactly Exactly, we're telling it like it is. You don't hear this on on mainstream media. Yes This proposal would deny food assistance to people who want to work But cannot find a job or a training program and in some cases their children Proponents have mischaracterized these cuts as work requirements The truth is that the provision simply would cut people from snap Who can't find jobs So in other words, if you can't find a job you're on the program But there are no jobs You hear that I don't know if it I don't know if you could the mic picks that up. It's a siren And it's appropriate right after the sense to the problem is a lack of jobs Not a lack of willingness to work A snack Provides a critical support to the unemployed. It helps working families too The overwhelming majority of snack recipients who can work do work Among snap households with at least one working age non-disabled adult more than half work while receiving snack And more than 80% work in the year before or the year after This devastating proposal comes on top of already enacted snap cuts Snap benefits already are slated for a cut in november When temporary assistance enacted to respond to increased need during the recession expires Resulting in an across-the-board benefit cut for all snap recipients The house republicans proposal would worsen food insecurity for jobless and working americans Including many of their children Many of whom already struggle to have enough to eat at the end of each month This just is an example of the republican love for the fetus But not for the uh born child Remember when that fat jackass nuke gingrich wanted to put poor children to work as school janitors To help to pay for food stamps You know, it's only been It's only been um I believe it was the early 19th century or late excuse me 19th century When we got rid of child labor I think they want it back thanks to unions. I think they want it back. Hey you owe a lot to unions and progressives You owe mom saluting The unions whichever ones are left. Yeah all unions. Thanks to unions your your You have what you you have whatever Whatever positive things you have left used to be a 60 hour work week Oh, you had children working no benefits right 16 hours a day no benefits no benefits And and and you know the corporations and the and the big boys and girls used to say then Well, yeah, child should add the freedom to be able to work as long as you want so Does that sound familiar? He doesn't want to work Does that sound familiar like in the red stands having the freedom with their right to work among He doesn't want to They they rig it so they have to work All day and all night and fall on their face. They don't want to yeah, but they put the owners on the individual then You know, they're using they're using freedom and patriotism. It's in other words their evil is wrapped in a flag their evil Evil getting human man. Yeah, their evil is wrapped in a flag snap grew over the past five years due to the prolonged recession and slow recovery But enrollment has leveled off recently The non-partisan congressional budget office projects That snap spending will fall As the recovery continues in the meantime It's one of the most effective ways to stimulate a struggling economy Moody's analytics estimates That in a weak economy every dollar increase in snap benefits Generates about one dollar and 70 percent in economic activity And CBO rated an increase in snap benefits as one of the two most cost effective ways to boost growth and jobs See now these arguments Accurate as they are and it says do not move republicans because they're they're uh, uh, uh they're uh What they don't like about these programs Is an ideology Has nothing to do with facts, you know, uh, I I would really Not be able to be very civil if I was a democratic Congressman or senator, I would be yelling at these republicans Fighting them tooth and nail Telling them what they really are, but the problem is they are in the majority You do not fight with them They can do whatever they want. They've already voted 40 times To kill obama care. This is why I do not respect any democrat that wants to Have lunch with them Off work hours or or try to buddy up to them about playing golf and Play golf with them compromise all this bipartisanship crap As soon as the democrat says that I don't support that as a short term method You have to elect more democrats And play the numbers game play the numbers Despite snap strong track record Some in congress want to end Food assistance to some of the nation's poorest households Even as the economy still struggles to create enough jobs for those who want to and are able to work, you know Wouldn't it be funny? I'm not funny It would be a different way of looking at things Why is it that the individual Must go out to seek the job Why is it not the corporation comes to the individual like like the head say please work for me Like the head hunters that they send out looking for That they send recruits out looking for professionals to take what dad is all about why Just a matter of trying to weed it out. It's like it's like voicemail In other words, don't bother me here. I'll hire some in other words in other words. They send They send out a recruit To a company that already has an established A track record professional and they steal them from the company. So They don't have to weed out a thousand and one applicants You know, um Um What do you think it's getting it's getting extremely humid, right? Uh All I can do is turn a fan up, but let me finish here I'm like I'm very uncomfortable Instead of ending Food assistance for americans still trying to find work Or barely getting by with the jobs they have garrets And his colleagues should give them a helping hand By focusing their energy on creating jobs that pay livable wages That would do more than anything to reduce the need for snap In a more productive and less harmful way Also, why wouldn't it be in a christian nation? Why wouldn't it be that the people Would want to give these poor people Not just a helping hand What a helping hand I'll be Why do we not think like that that's another one of these? Why do we not think like that? We don't think about like I said about the corporation. Why don't why don't the corporations go out and seek the individual? To help them Work for them. Why is it the individual has to do that? And and and and and for people that can't afford To go to school can't afford the tuition. Whatever happened to the old-fashioned apprenticeships Apprenticeship program hands-on training for people that can't afford To drop 10 or 15 thousand on a technical school or or or the real rip-off tuition of a college Well, and those schools won't make money. Oh They won't be able to They won't be able to have bill collectors harass Students for by for paying their student loan off. They don't have a job. They don't have any money to pay the freaking student loan All I can say Is these things will not be happening Under god's economics, of course not in the millennium. Of course not. They will not be happy and shame on you american media for not giving editorial rebuttals telling your viewers what's really happening and not uh giving FaceTime to the progressive liberals that are out there and independence And interviewing somebody like a gary. No or jesse ventura a Ralph nader Jerry brown and having them as guests on various shows And giving the american people an opportunity to hear both sides of the story Why should we have to listen to the wrong side? But we're so our side is the right side. What are you talking about? I just said why do we have to you just said Balance, that's what they do balance. Why did they call themselves fair and balanced if they're not fair and balance Why do we have to hear the wrong side? Yes, correct. So why did you yell at me? No, I thought you were being something is right sarcastic. I thought I thought you're playing devil's advocate No, that's what we do now. They do that now. They they put a democrat on they put a republican on you got both sides No, you don't I don't hear I don't hear many much of the democrat side They're always they're always talking the news media in out of new york is always talking about What the what the republicans have to say? In congress and the senate I I never hear I never see them sticking a mic In front of any of the prominent democrats and giving them air time You know where a country that goes with number one we go with the majority That's why they they interview football coaches of winning winning teams not the losing and not losing teams So that's it. So as far as senators go. Yeah, but even with senators Okay, the republicans don't technically have the majority of the senate, but I don't see them interviewing democratic senators Let's take bernie sanders. He's the only he's one of the few independents there, right? He's on radio every friday bernie sanders. It's correct bird. What's with bernie sanders? I'm talking about the friggin Major media on the boot on the boob tube. This is what I keep telling you these son of a bitches About songs etc. We do not have a way of delivering all that is available to the people who want to hear it These corporate suck ups on any you the major networks man. They don't all right We have to take a break. I know we're going along fast and furious It's time for the uh reverend dr. William j eiseman's gastronomic delight known as lunch and we'll be back With william h. Morrill the third and hopefully he won't call too early Well how he made because we didn't start it a little late that's That's uh, I'm here with william h. Morrill the third And uh, we were discussing The other day about beliefs and the origins of people's beliefs and why they believe in what they do We were talking about things That became tradition Like god days inferno, uh Where do we come from? It's along the lines of that wonderful tv show Agent aliens so much wonderful sense And it makes you question things they offer more proof than anyone And when I asked you the other day when we were talking over coffee Jim I said, oh, if you read the idol said do you break no question my religion? Why not? I Well, I I personally Prayed a few times uh this year, but I did not get an answer. So I stopped so That's very selfish I could care less who won the super bowl or the world series or the lottery Or hundreds of millions of dollars Well organized religion Organized religion go ahead. I'm sorry. Yeah organized religion causes a lot of uh A lot of negative things today, you know, I mean, uh, uh, well, you're right. I think it means you never mind Nobody just doesn't make sense. Right. Nobody has been able to prove that their god exists. So why why start a war over? Well, another thing I just asked people and it bothered them a lot. We spent taxpayers money We were talking about We were talking we were talking about uh, uh, all the images of of god by uh, all the artists in history And and people Dante's inferno Well, what I'm saying is it comes out of people's imagination of what they think God and and angels and demons and and and hell looks like I mean, it's all their imagination But I got a real deep question for you and dr. Bill Before uh, the heavens and the earth was created Uh, did god always exist in nothingness or did did something Not to finish what I was gonna say Right did anybody Yeah, who who created god before the heavens in the earth? What did god do to amuse himself when there was no heavens in the earth or or angels or man or Well, who who knows maybe the angels a bit around he played He played angry birds in his eyes Which god is there a big boardroom table up there with all the different police systems gods Turn this on tech religious not an atheist I'm just asking questions. That's good I would love to know the would you listen to be wonderful to decide right now And why is it every time something goes great? Thank god takes all those people on a plane crash God people or explain a way or Right, right And and uh, the right right wing fundamentalists evangelicals always say when somebody dies prematurely they always say oh The lord has uh decided to bring him back home or bring her back home Well, what does that mean bring her back home? Yeah No, no, you're not yet What you're doing What you're doing is uh is what we call Being a an independent free thinker with an open mind, which is exactly what we have been promoting Well, yeah, but you're quite you have your you're as a As an independent free thinker The first part is very important. You're an independent free thinker that is not afraid to question Everything before you believe it you you you I haven't even expressed my thoughts yet today All I've said is I've asked questions That's what I mean Question you're not afraid people think about things Because I don't know what everybody thinks I do know that was to ask them these questions People sometimes get very upset and I don't know why you're getting upset All I did was ask you a question, right? If you're so strong in your Question, right? Well, like what they do is you both need to really know I'm sure you've encountered that and uh There's nothing wrong with conversation. Yeah, like the mother so back about they see ever talk about politics or religion Bull why not why do we have to run away? What is intelligent conversation and conversation? What's wrong with saying ever discuss? What's wrong with saying no to people and saying I I I'm sorry, but I disagree with you What what what if you had a college what if you had a college professor? That that gave a lesson for the day and you disagreed with that college professor And you asked him why you asked him What Is Like like another in other words, why do you believe this to be true explain yourself If somebody's teaching you a theory Let's say it's not even a proven fact and you question Why do you feel that way about the subject? Can you is there is there anything you want to use to back it up and a professor gets It's an honest question. You're an independent free thinker Yeah, they get upset you're right. It's ego. It's about ego You know if you're you're listen You're you're a student listen This is the scenario you're a student you pay good money for for college tuition And and you have a right in america to ask a professor Why do you feel this way you you want to you don't want to just accept something as truth just It's a learning process Yeah, but it's a learning process you're in you're in you're in a college. You're in a university classroom And uh, it's a learning process Well, it could be it could be a politics that when you rock their little safe world at times Yeah, it could be a politician running for reelection and and they're shaking hands on the street and And they bring up somebody brings up a subject and you ask the politician The the the senator the incumbent. Well, why this and that? Explain to me. Why did you do this? Why did this happen? Well, they could blow you off Of course I should have brought some Yeah Well, you know what I'm I'm proud of what anthony wiener did somebody Started calling him names because of what he did in his personal life And he No, he called him a jewish guy with a yarmulke called wiener said he was like a He was a disgrace and he's he's Not a disgrace. He did some stupid little things Well, well anthony put a guy down anthony wiener anthony wiener felt Concentrate on my record concentrate on my track record or whatever my job performance Don't make the the personal thing an issue in his ability To be a mayor of new york city. I mean the guy did a great job as as a congressman for new york state I thought he did Yeah Because It's like it's like it's like the it's like the miss america pageant everybody Everybody has to be pure as the driven snow and you know politicians have to be pure Yeah, well America Well Well, yeah, that's racism, you know Well, well what i'm getting at is america has this unrealistic Puritanical view of everything that people that are in a spotlight have to be pure as the driven snow There could be no scandal. They could be no this and that look what they do Describe to me what your phrase is. Do you mean what does yours the driven snow mean if I don't know anyone who is Look at charlie sheen people that people act like this and we'll take you tell me please Look at what happened to we want to see so-and-so well, she's italian Speaking italian. I was gonna say some choice words, but I don't So watch she's from india. She says she's a woman of color so watch That's awful. They're beautiful. Well, Vanessa will you help my god a lot of them are beautiful beautiful. Vanessa williams I was gonna say I was gonna talk about I was gonna give an example of charlie Bill poor fervor poor Charlie sheen all he did was give his honest opinion about the producers of that show Two and a half men and he was upset about something because he gave his opinion They they canned him from the show Well, maybe that's the real reason That's his private it's his private life america's got this nitpicky puritanical view of everything International sports Morals clauses in your contract. You play for a repro team or whatever you are in It's good. You are role models. You're expected to be a 20. You are a 24 hour employee So hey, that's that's a little unfair. I killed somebody thank you represented 24 hours Yeah, but isn't that what IBM did? They they they kind of work. It didn't kind of work Overages the world you couldn't do it after the day It's not fair white shirts and no facial hair Yeah, but when you pop when you punch out what you do at home is your own business Well, no, it's not You know tomorrow's close. You can't go out and break somebody in this. Well. Yeah. Yeah, I understand You know, you can't uh Well, they just have that the web back then anything you think yeah A certain amount of human respect you represent the corporations who work for 24 hours. Yeah, well hollywood's different And maintain your dignity is that hard You know, yeah, well, and I'll ask you to do the impossible You're saying we don't do stupid things. I know you're part of this organization. You're going you're praising us Yeah, but I mean it's it was my organization to protect I'd be the same way well if Charlie sheen want want if Charlie sheen wants to live with a couple of porn stars And do a little cocaine. I I think you know behind it is In the privacy of his home. I mean, I think that's fine. You mean nobody complained about that Right The main the main thing is Is Coming back a lot more money right and they just want to go away for you, right? Well the whole Well the whole back the whole backbone of what we're talking about is that Don't accept Information from people as a true gospel. Don't be afraid to question it and and and reasoned it out and uh wait They're asking a question. Yeah, well It's it's a little beyond that. It's a simple it doesn't deserve anger. It deserves an answer Well people people should at least that's sort of your show. I ask you do you pray? If so, what about if you don't why don't you don't get mad at me for asking? No, no, of course not I'm asking a question. I didn't say it. Well, I believe many I don't you don't know, but if I Many No, many Americans Automatically believe what they hear Based on tradition and it's unproven nonsense. They they're afraid to ask why What why do you have a painting of god looking the same way? They don't add to Your questioning not me glad I have my buddy over here. Mr. Anonymous That's what it comes out to a bones questioning their faith. They don't like that Me says your faith isn't that strong but But an independent free thinker would say to the catholic church. Why did why does every painting of god look like a man a white man In a white robe with a long white beard and long white hair And they'll give you a dirty look probably How there your question is Or Dante Or questioning why why did the catholic church accept Dante's inferno as as a description of hell Why did they why did they accept it? Yeah, well was Dante ever actually inhale and come back from you know from death. I mean, there's no proof There's nothing wrong with questioning There you go Yes All right, thank you for joining us All right, all of you have a good one. Yes. Bye. Bye. I'll talk to you later gentlemen. All right. Bye. Bye. All right, fellas. Bye. Bye And unplug your ears Uh Well, that was the whole point it was it was And part of being independent free thinkers to question not just take everything face value and believe it Because it's well when you question you gotta have You as a free thinker should Have somewhere to go To answer your questions. Yeah, and in the questions that were being positive here and they were religious And they were of christian nature. There is some place to go And that's the bible Those questions are answered in the bible Like what existed before the heavens and the earth were created. What did god do with the god the father and the word Existed for all eternity. Remember Until the creation of the universe You really have no concepts of time Place These are material things. I mean nothing existed As far as material was concerned before the universe. I mean the measurement of time And and calendars and even even in the bible god says the day is like a thousand years Yeah time it is okay. There's no there's no concept concept of time. There's just eternity for good eternity Eternity is simply eternity, right? But the universe gives us Time Yeah material You know well we have uh, you know now we have been existed now We have the new theory the no more big bank theory We have the black hole theory of the creation of the universe It's a new a new theory that's up up there. That's good You know, I mean that the matter is this universe never existed at one time It was brought into being right However, you want to look at it as part of the look at it biblically Then god created it as part of a type divine plane Okay And people have to understand that the the the word the logos the mount chesovet dick uh mount chesovet dick Yawah, uh, yeah, I am yawah. Yeah, this this is the spirit That not only visited earth during the old testament But it is the spirit that became jesus and and and you say it's the spirit that created The planets and the earth the The god who became jesus Created all things All things were created by him. Yeah with the father Okay This is the problem here. You got answers to certain problems. You're talking about god and stuff like that How many people understand that in the bible there are two gods Not one There's a family but it's incredible how two two personage spirit personages in the family and god wishes that family to become bigger But it's just amazing how there are individuals just because they were they were born and raised a catholic They immediately they don't question anything. They immediately believe the traditions that they grew up with without questioning it Remember they don't have the the catholic church persecuted The original church of god What became the catholic church came out of the babelon mysteries religion promulgated by simon nagas The traditions of the catholic church are he called himself a christian So but he was not so the catholic church and its traditions are actually a pagan Cult correct because how how much of the catholic church go by The original bible They don't go by it at all. They got heaven in hell. Those concepts are not in the bible Has no one ever read revelations 21 and 22 to see what goes on after the millennium and to Read other portions that say David's not in heaven He's taking a dirt sleep like everybody else There's no such thing No one has ascended into heaven except he who came down plainly stated in the bible yet you got these traditional concepts that grow heaven and hell No such things yeah And why does god the father look like that with our white hair and everything because they made it up Because people want To hold something they made golden calves. They made snakes. They made anything they're gods to hold on to something They want a tangible Uh physical material thingy like the the russian orthodox church has all those icons, you know, they call them icons You know, they're uh like uh renaissance paintings of what Michael say michael gabrielle looks like and uh Archangels and what uh, mary looked like and jesus looked like and you know, and they got bones of saints and skulls and Whatever and people like candles to them They they pray They feel that they their prayers are interceded They're like they're like a middleman like mary Takes your prayers. She turns. They're dead. Yeah, they are dead And that's why billy's question about do you pray and who do you pray to and everything like that? And if you don't why it's actually insignificant doesn't mean anything because Prayer I'm going to say prayer In its energetic form. Yeah is Is something good Because in case they have done experiments Where many people gather together and they pray For a certain person just that well they say may they help they say meditation also has benefit Yeah, but whether it's a a stove fight to god. That's another question, isn't it? well prayer is like a form of Confession like if you're in group therapy and you you open up to a psychologist and you get it off Something off your chest You know, it's like energy relief. It's an energy release like crying like orgasm I would say meditation is a bringing about serenity of the mind Is a way of releasing possibly Stress, you know, you got steam building up like a pressure cooker and it helps release it pent up sexual tension Of course the action of intercourse or masturbation will be a release of that energy Things like that of course, you know billy You know When I put him on loudspeaker, he has a great deal of trouble hearing us It's not I hear him perfectly. I mean I can't believe that he cannot hear us at all, you know at all to make out what we're saying but anyway, he also has a habit of Doing what he does, you know, he's uh known him for 40 years, but It's got to be an interview has to be more Two ways to a operation You know, but I did manage to get off what I was going to say. I was making a point about people who never question what they're told and about tradition without proof and about What it's like what it is to be an independent free thinker with an open mind, you know, uh You know Charlie Sheen Had a view and he was po he was pissed at I guess the producer or whatever and he said what he had to say and they canned him You know, it's like, you know, what does that mean? You know, you you you disagree with your ceo and just based on Your first amendment, right you get fired. Yeah Which means that the corporation is not a democracy Whoever said it was it's a hierarchy top town Yeah, so it's like a little mini uh totalitarian That's correct government And and your college professor might also run his class that way too. That's correct. He has his turf to protect So he shoots his mouth off But if you if you interrupt if you stop him and you question What he's telling the class he might get upset the creation is love that they they like to uh this tiny evolutionary uh teachers In the classroom What their creation is the nonsense. Yeah, I read about that. Okay, they love that text especially in the red states Yeah, they like to do that. Well, Texas, you know, it's the biggest uh textbook buyer. So All these lies get into textbooks Okay, propaganda. Yeah But anyway, that that's it for that, you know, uh I guess let us get back into the readings of the week This was a story that was out a little while ago about the mama Who wished to name her child messiah If we remember that. Yeah, I remember the other one that named his kid Adolf Hitler or something. Yeah A woman will be allowed to name her eight month old son messiah A judge ruled on wednesday Overturning an order from another judge who said the boy's name should be changed to martin Because messiah is a title that is held only by jesus christ Well, unless you're a part of judeism then you would disagree but a messiah is not it's inappropriate I think to call a child uh, Jesus Which is jesus or messiah. Yes Jelisa martin said she couldn't believe it When child support magistrate lu and ba lu Last month ordered martin's eight month old son's name changed During a paternity hearing The parents were disputing the baby's surname With martin hopping to keep the name hoping excuse me to keep the name she had given to him messiah Deshawn martin and father jawan macaulik Wanting the baby to bear his last name ba lu Surprised both parents By ordering that the baby's name changed to martin Deshawn macaulik Saying that labeling this child messiah Places an undue burden on him That as a human being he cannot fulfill Chancellary court chancellor tell ford e fogerty overturn ba lu's decision on wednesday Finding that she acted unconstitution ba lu's bullshit In addition he found no legal basis for changing a child's name first name when both parents agree on it The wisconsin-based freedom from religion foundation filed a complaint against ba lu With the state's board of judicial conduct now many people will probably not remember this But a few years ago Mr. Tom delay big republican cheetah And crook the man that does not ever delay his vacation time Was charged republican. Yeah, was charged with uh What how was it Money laundering Oh really and conspiracy convictions Did the charges stick We're going to get into that a texas appellate court Split two to one along party lines On thursday and reverse the money laundering and conspiracy convictions that ended the political prayer Of former us house majority leader tom delay seven years ago. How come this did not surprise me? The texas republican Was facing a three-year prison term So the republics saved his ass The two republican judges saved his ass voted a long part in that If he if he if tom delay was a democrat they would have fried him correct Not only that the man was guilty And we'll see that at the end here What wasn't g.w. Bush and dick cheney guilty of what they did and so on and so on. Yeah And uh, they caught uh Was the illegal contributions to uh, old ugly turtle face, uh, mitch mcconnell Well, that's what mr. Tom delay was all about illegal Contributions and then laundering the money At a conspiracy to keep the republicans in power Of course the the the corrupt politicians of the republican party Are going are not going to help The poor and not have any compassion. Do you expect criminals to have compassion and empathy and to help? No, I expect criminals to go to jail That's right And that includes uh, goldman sacks and the bankers banksters Yeah, would that never saw the inside of a jail except if you protest against them The appeals court found There was Legally insufficient evidence at delays 2010 trial Well, there was enough evidence to find him guilty then wasn't there Sure. Well, what did it do get lost in transit? Oops, we can't find it Hey, look Insufficient evidence. What can I tell you? The briefcase got lost Prosecutors had argued that delay's motive was to elect a republican majority Into texas legislature to redraw congressional districts and tighten his grip As a leader in conducts, but he got away with it didn't he? a homeless boston man Who turned in a backpack containing tens of thousands of dollars in cash And travelers checks says Even if he were desperate He wouldn't have kept even a penny like a news free about If anybody on wall street would have found this backpack, you wouldn't have seen none of that money And every penny they would have kept let me tell you something you know, they always They always malign the cop that you know when he finds uh Hundreds of thousands of dollars or millions of dollars in cash and drug money that if he if he takes it It doesn't report it, you know right away. Oh crooked cop crooked cop Let me tell you something when something is lying there in cash form And there's no paper trail and there's no, you know record and it's just someone's word against another person's word It's very tempting Because it's going to go in somebody's pocket so You know Some fat cat on top is going to confiscate that that money glenn james Was honored on monday at police headquarters Where commissioner edward davis thanked him for his honesty And gave him a special citation I wonder if he can eat that The citation you know, you can't eat citations. Can't eat it That's like a citation is like a huge glorified slap on the back pat on the back James said in a handwritten statement given out at a news conference That he was glad to make sure the bag and its contents were returned to the owner Even if I were desperate for money I would not have kept even a penny he said James found the backpack at the south bay mall In the city's doorchester neighborhood saturday evening He flagged down patrolling officers and handed it over The backpack the backpack contained $2,400 in u.s. Currency Almost $40,000 in travelers checks Chinese passports And other personal papers very interesting, but again Nobody on wall street would have gave it back. Nope Okay And they would have actually no need for it Because they already have more listen When it comes to like I said before when it comes to cash just conveniently lying around you know There's no way to track it or trace it to its rightful owner because everybody will say oh, it's mine Everybody will say that and you know if you don't Take it and keep your mouth shut about it.

It's like so They're absurd and unfair and you just heard the income of these people It's obscene Obscene it's worse than when we talk about the baseball players What they get it's it's more obscene They're that earning look don't believe fox news these people that he just mentioned Their money has has been making money for them A long long time ago This is not hard-earned money. This is not money that they work hard for They just can afford to hire the best to run their corporations And of course they don't pay taxes thanks to republicans This money is making money for them You know and all the more money you have the easier it is to make more Yeah, you just sit on your ass and it makes more you told you said it best Uh, uh many times the cost The overhead of of labor for a company is tax deductible Wages wages are tax deductible benefits. So when they cry Like, you know billy was saying uh his father used to of ibm used to complain about unions unions are this unions are that It's all bullshit. It's all that it's the labor is deductible It's crap so that you don't go against them. Please pity the billionaire And that's what we've done in this country The propaganda has been so good That the poor fight amongst themselves and pity the poor billionaires You I don't know how if he feels The same way is this this guy the supervisor Um, I used to have a UPS in uh, sea caucus in jerseys years ago. He uh, I mean, he never he never gave me a hard time because you know, i'm james p mcdonough You know, I freaking i'll tell your ass off But he you know what he used to say that people that go to the restroom Uh, they should get that time deducted from their break That's part of their break Having your bladder ready to burst Well, they do that they do that They are sick people When are we going to get this in our heads? The republicans are evil The ceo types that you're talking about are are also evil. They are sick It's obsession with every penny with profit before the planet profit before people this is obsession Actually, it's more profit because they already make a profit what what the the companies in 1940 1950 1960 and half of 90s And weren't making profits. Of course. They were making profits And when they speak about profit today, they're talking about more and they blame it on the stockholders now now, uh, uh You finish with that particular reading because i'm going to tell you a true story real real quick Uh, last week I I did this little expose on the wwe world wrestling federation world wrestling entertainment Uh A friend of mine who was a wwe superstar back in the 2000s early 2000s He was telling me he says, you know ms. McMahon was complaining and he was saying, you know in the back, uh These uh, the these wrestlers that that work for me um, all of them They can afford to pay for their own health insurance. I shouldn't have to provide them with health insurance We're talking about the lower and lower to medium caliber wrestlers not not the uh, the headliners with the big contracts now he says The average based on the the the uh, the income of the average wrestler for the wwe It proves they can afford to pay for their own health insurance. First of all, you can't do an average If the top wrestlers are pulling in like tom senor are pulling in five million dollars or more How could you do uh, an average calculation? if The lower end wrestlers are paying for their own transportation including rent a car and plane flights They're paying for their own hotel or motel accommodations. They have to flight coach with connective flights They have to carpool it with Many other wrestlers and they have to stick Several wrestlers in one motel room And they don't have much to show for it at the end. We're talking about not the big kahoon is so When you do an average and you take the top people making millions a year and you take the rest of them making crap That the average calculation is not a fair calculation right you take uh Just to make it simple should be a median uh people on top are number five People on the bottom are number one the average of that is three People on the bottom never even saw a three now You know it's the same with the flat tax It's the same crap. Yeah You can't average out if you have such a a wide range of difference between The mainstream employees And the handful that are getting A fortune and then you do an average. It's just it's it's it's ridiculous You know, so uh, I just wanted to add that, you know, and you know viss McMahon He's a ceo. He's a billionaire now. You know, I don't I don't expect him to be any different than any other american ceo So, you know, it's tied into what we talk about. Anyway Are we doing here? Uh, one more the records publisher north jersey media group Inc. Incorporated is suing Sarah Palin really And her political action committee for copyright infringement Over the use of an iconic 911 photograph A lawsuit filed on friday in federal court in manhattan Says palin sarah pack Posted a copy of the photo on its website And facebook page without permission The photo depicts three new york city fire fighters hoisting an american flag Amid the rubble at the world trade center hours after the attacks Oh, it sounds like one of those time magazine classic Like you said iconic photos and photos like that are copyrighted That photo was it was by the record Record on that photograph.

Because because the president's does monsanto want people to know the truth That they're poisoning us. Yeah, and they want to control the world's food supply. Yeah I guess not That's why they're fighting does wal-mart want the people to know the truth That they don't pay their people a living wage. I guess that's why monsanto is spending money On the lobbying to stop the labeling laws from being passed GMO Yeah, once that monsanto bill that's been Allowing them to do what the hell they want the monsanto protection. Yeah Yeah, why does monsanto need protection protection from us? It's it's just a it's just that as wicked as they are And evil as they are it's a massively wealthy corporation.

Anyway, I don't want to Regress and you know the subject but thank you for joining us for this week's progressive discussions This is You can call it the vernal equinox progressive discussion show because The vernal equinox, I think takes place the first day of autumn The vernal is the spring No, there's a there's a vernal in autumn too, sir. It's the autumnal Or top autumnal equinox All right, whatever. It's an equinox. Whatever. It's a change of season. It's an equinox and tomorrow at I think 440 Or 444 I I noticed two fours in it 440 p.m. Let's say fall comes in tomorrow Fall has arrived. So I think From what the weatherman says, this is the last one day possibly Of the year, but you never know. Oh by the way uh The poor people of hong kong China and taiwan are bracing themselves for a very powerful typhoon A hundred almost 200 miles over 180 mile an hour winds, huh? Japan just had one. Maybe it's the same one No, this is a new one that that's coming that's coming from It's going to hit hong kong and taiwan. This is supposed to be a bad one So do you see climate change what it's what's happening? Even though somebody posted an article saying that I don't know how true it is saying that Scientists are claiming the ice sheet is getting bigger. I saw it rapidly I saw that Sometimes I wonder it might be just a temporary thing. It could be a temporary thing. Yeah Yeah global warming is definitely here and the storms are getting worse so Although we have had a very quiet hurricane season So far So far So the idea that these people have that they want to remain on the coast And they want to live near the shore and they want to have their businesses near the ocean like the uh The numbskulls in new jersey They have another uh Thing coming to me and the storms are going to get worse and worse and worse. Where are we going to go? Oh, by the way speaking of new jerseyans, I'm a new jersey, but a lot of them are stupid assholes You know some people when interviewed actually gave chris christie a a high score What idiots what numbskulls it's incredible what dummies we are scoring them on we have in america, huh? What are they scoring them on everything? Well, he can't score them on Women's health Gets up an F of a property taxes Education F there education F idiots are giving them an A teachers F Unless the media is lying about people's given them an A because he gave rich people a tax break Yeah, I must say he has been good there The only thing chris christie would get an A on is a maybe a hot dog or pizza eating contest I would give him an A on that but other than that Or waffle eating or you know funnel cake eating contest at the on the boardwalk But he doesn't deserve an A on anything else. What about frozen custard frozen custard? No, he probably like Homer Simpson. He'll probably put his mouth underneath and just suck it all out of the machine Say so long to these people
