 okay we are back another week is flown by brother seven a lucky number bells for a brand new progressive discussions you already know who we are because it happens to be an intro at the beginning of this show no well I have to I have to announce these things because you know now we're days in in Merck now we're days in America them dull people out of there that that has showed up for all the Trump rallies they got to be sprained to in a very simple manner oh yeah I'll say their son I say I'll say well I just want to I love having a complete intro and a complete well done promo because it saves me the job of additional energy expenditure coming from my mouth it saves me energy for important things for the show like educating you knuckleheads out there you num skulls and my funny unplanned jokes unrehearsed and unplanned this is a very grassroots revolution uncensored progressive talk show as you could see don't expect the state-of-the-art studio this is grassroots all right we don't owe any favors to any sponsors unlike other progressive internet talk shows who who make a ton of money probably I think I think Saint Eicher Euker mr. Toik the Toik the young Toik I think he has sponsors I think he makes a buck here and there that's why he's got that studio anyway how you do it I don't like the way he he savagely defended the Hillary Clinton campaign against Alex Jones of Info Wars and was very rude to Alex Jones and the and his friend when they dropped in on his show you know he's a little people on on my Facebook group call him a progressive a fellow progressive warrior but he's a little who's a progressive he's a little suck up thank her thank you Euker Eicher you're not you're not a progressive warrior if you are suddenly switch your allegiance to Hillary Clinton you're not a progressive warrior you're a progressive warrior when you see that Bernie Sanders folded like a cheap camera and you pledge your allegiance to the Green Party and Jill Stein then you you are a progressive warrior unfortunately Jill Stein got no got you might as well say she she received no she received no mainstream media FaceTime or nor was her name really mentioned I saw one mainstream I believe it was mainstream commercial and that was it only what's her name Amy Goodman of democracy now she's the only one that talked that plugged I mean promoted plug doesn't sound cool that promoted Jill Stein yeah otherwise not and miss the Baraka Baraka VP choice him I don't I didn't know nothing about at all period now of course you know if Bernie would have went to Jill Stein he probably they didn't make him that offer to be to run under the Green Party with Jill Stein as the VP and he blew them off just like he blew off Ralph Nader and I was watching Bernie Sanders recently on the view and he has a new book out which looks really good but but you know and you know when they mentioned Hillary he says oh I worked my tail off campaigning for her now why work your tail off your tail off campaigning for someone that you thoroughly exposed because that's where the people were in other words he was dealing he was dealing with that old-fashioned we got a saddle for the lesser of the two weevils no that never even entered into it people what do you mean people the Democratic Party had all the people yeah the time the Green Party don't have all the gays and lesbians were on Hillary Clinton side so yeah that yeah a matter of population that was her mouthpiece you know that's right they're still demanding that they kick Trump out because Hillary received the popular vote well they are I don't know how well it's gonna go but they are actually they're going to look at getting rid of the electoral college and they should get rid finally they should the crooked DNC should get rid of the super deligates you know that super delegates that too but did you know that the fact that a matter is that a presidential candidate can actually get five I don't know the exact number five or ten states and actually win because of the because of the electoral college a damn electoral car the outdated damn for instance also electoral car California Clinton won California by two million votes but they go on counted because she won the state now is it that's all she gets out of it and all these all these legions these these massive multitudes of people that showed up at the Bernie Sanders rallies nationwide none of them came out in angry protests when Bernie Sanders got screwed by the rigged primaries from the crooked DNC oh no nobody came out but now Hillary supporters are screaming bloody murder I don't see I don't see the the former Bernie Kratz out there protesting how the system was rigged maybe a lot of them did protest by not voting you mean apathy like they did they wanted Bernie's like they did in in November of 2014 apathy well what was it two one-third of Americans did not vote so only only about six a hundred and twenty three wait a minute six and say yeah about a hundred and twenty three million people only voted I don't know how many registered there are but a lot of them skills I swear Americans today have to be the most the dumbest waste of sperm that was ever conceived in a womb especially down south they don't use not well yeah well when well Hillary got all the sudden states because of her husband no she didn't she lost them all no no I mean I'm still talking about burn a Bernie bird oh yeah now now now of course like Bernie Sanders says that they were all joy joy Bayhara and they were all asking him why did this happen especially Joy Bayhara is she why did he say explain why does happen well did he say he said well the Donald Trump touched a nerve with the American people the people that were angry and frustrated and you know I mean I would say of course emotion played a factor in Donald Trump can go well exactly yeah because where were the details about making America great again I mean what does that mean you mean how he's gonna do it yeah he never really mentioned exactly well now now he's he's making me nervous based on the first three picks the choices of his cabinet yeah today he was playing golf with Mitt Romney who you know of course they talk bad about each other during the campaign oh yeah he's thinking of making Mitt Romney the Secretary of State because Giuliani is too aggressive to be check it check with Secretary of State you want somebody calmer we're not non-confrontational personality I don't think there's anybody like that in the Trump camp I'm confused really I mean I'm waiting for him to give Chubbzy Ubsy a job Chubbzy Ubsy has been pushed aside by the Trump kitty kids Chubbzy they don't like remember Christie prosecuted Kushner's father back when Kushner the husband of Ivanka the Jew oh you mean so what you're saying is is Donald Trump like the Hillary people there are there kind of kiss-ass when it comes to Manhattan rich Manhattan Jews no I'm saying and I bet they and I bet they control Wall Street too revenge all pulling back at Christie basic politics for part yeah for executing the old man tit for tat and you know and so he's been pushed aside well Chris Christie at that time was doing his job like Trump would probably say hey it's only business right and he's got a lot of conflicts coming up believe me holy mackerel in the camp his campaign was a a combination of the largest a reality show and horror movie combined and now unfortunately the beginning of his presidency is also a huge reality show and honestly I don't think he expected to win you know you might be right there even though he said we're gonna we're gonna clean house we're gonna win we're gonna win I drain the swamp first of all you don't drain the swamp you know how many a creature taking a bigger swamp you know how no no no I like clean out the barn better H. Ross Perot's clean out the barn when you drain the swamp you know how many creatures depend on marshlands and swamps for their survival well yeah you don't drain the swamp you protect natural habitats they don't believe in the EPA oh yeah that's another thing true now Trump is like a siding with the climate change deniers yeah well he was he better he better listen closely to the scientists just like Bernie Sanders said on the view he better listen to the right people for advice well the Republicans don't believe it and he is leaving their ideas of religion yeah money worship of money you know idolatry their religion and their gourd their their demonic cult gourd that's Archie bunker talk we'll take care of their them if a crisis comes up oh yeah hey they 35 the the temperature of the North Pole yeah it's 35 degrees lower lower than normal that's correct while my friend of mine from the street was here the other day we were discussing the Northwest Passage which is now open up there the boats can go through because the stuff of the melting itself well it's not just the sea levels rising it's the many of the polar bears are starving and they get caught on ice flows and the ones that are not caught on ice flows are are migrating to northern Canada with the um if they make it living amongst the the Kodiak bears the brown bears and Bruce Lee's interim intermingling with them and and you know it's like like the documentary said bears and people don't mix I saw a video the other day of a polar bear with the dog friendly they were friends until the polar bear besides a little hungry maybe it's a little hungry it's probably a very well fit polar bear yeah you know anyway they've sat here if you're wondering what this Rodin looking skeleton of a bird is this is what's left of the Bernie Sanders bird the Bernie bird you know I mean the poor thing literally maciated yeah come here little Bernie bird let me see if his his spirit is is with us poor little Bernie bird he Bernie is the one who flew the coop but he's not affiliated with the Democratic Party I tell you right now let me see if his spirit is here now there's two independents in the Senate he's here he's a big fan of our show oh good yeah I know it's an insane asylum the United States government the the whole thing is a mess despicable debacle corruption rigged elections people yeah spineless yeah yeah the uh the grassroots roots of revolution we the people in the grassroots revolution are spineless because they're not being heard they're not getting out there and yeah we know there's plenty of them and that's about it apathy no balls right yep no balls no balls no coyotes no coyotes you know I mean bravitas I mean yeah I know I know the the grassroots revolution Bernie Kratz could have flocked no pun intended to Jill Stein at the Green Party yes I was you know I'm very a Bernie bird and everybody else I'm very happy that we have a Green Party of New Jersey now I think the Green Party because of Jill Stein I want to know you're growing is there yeah well grandpa remember he got to 50,000 people he was a Green Party man Grandpa Al Lewis the late grandpa Al Lewis he got them on the permanent ballot the grandpa monster oh wow well the great Ralph Nader was ran under the Green Party also you know and how many states he got on the ballot I don't know you know well he only got 280 well since you're dealing with nincompoops in this country the the person that is most qualified and most intelligent and most the best person for the job it's like being in a casino it's like gambling the best person for the job does not necessarily get the highest percentage of the put in the polls no you because you know why because when like Donald Trump now or any president if he's gonna hire people he wants people he can manipulate so you're not gonna get the best people oh it's like the Bible says God God gives government the basis of people oh it's like it's like a corporate American CEO they play office politics yeah office games you you crawl up far up my ass and I'll treat you right but when they treat you right like Bill Morrow keeps on saying oh the best one in 2016 what was Carly Fiorina I says I heard I heard she did not she did not work wonders for Hugh the Packard like I do they kicked her out he says they kicked her out where she was female and then the whole board was male she he says out because she drove the damn thing into the ground how come Bill Morrow is insisting that he doesn't have all the information he says they she watches Fox News he says she does now he watches CNN and see it well he said that Carly Fiorina double their double or triple their profits something like that he just likes that he just likes anybody who's corporate pro-corporate anti-union pro-corporate I said to him you know that's JP Morgan that's JP Morgan's attitude of course screwed a little guy and everything for me fuck there you know that's it anyway you know what's amazing what's amazing are the people who vote for the pro-corporate capitalist right-wing elitist and they don't have a fucking pot to piss in at the same time there you go isn't that the most what's the word ironic it makes it is no common sense whatsoever and in a sense it's hypocritical yes absolutely just as hypocritical as a Republican when he talks about squandering the taxpayers money meanwhile there it's okay to do that on the military no but not on food stamps what about giving just giving money to corporations just giving away billions that's what I'm saying the military that's what you're doing why we subsidizing why we subsidizing the rich why we subsidizing the Saudi Arabia aren't they aren't they loaded with oil money yeah I mean you know yeah and we protect them so that they don't have to have their own armies per se I mean they do have an army well that's what our bases are 800 bases around the world are theoretically for yet every damn country where we have a base bitches about them but it's okay if these countries do not respect human rights yeah the United States doesn't give a shit about that right oh no man well they don't give a shit about Native Americans in up at the pipeline what is it North Dakota or South Dakota it runs from North Dakota to Illinois I believe the Sue Lakota Sue Indians well in no state so Indians one woman a Sue Indian woman I think I send you the video or she she she stopped putting it on Facebook because Facebook kept taking it off and she says at night on the reservation they hear a helicopter is going above them and they saw the helicopter spraying some kind of substance on them so possibility you know so I wouldn't put anything past I mean just look at the history of what we did and what we do try atrocities hey I Trump he wants to bring back he wants with the Muslims in a concentration camp like we did the Japanese and some other well he doesn't know he doesn't know where the next terrorist is gonna come from I mean do we but how does that help well it didn't help World War two sticking all these that's my Japanese a Japanese that are totally were totally many many of them were born here in United States I believe a George to Kai as a child was in one of those as he was his parents and yeah he was in one of those concentration camps and these are totally Americanized Japanese and I mean well that's a racism and bigotry and that stuff they didn't put my they didn't put my relatives in a concentration camp because of Mussolini because of Italy I mean they didn't they didn't throw the Italians in in a concentration camp but they had to pick on the Asians maybe because the Italians were the only country that ever changed sides in a war maybe because the the Italians have around I now if you look like Jack Sue from Barney Miller you're going to the concentration camp yeah yeah you know today if you're part of the 1.3 billion people unhurt that a muslims you're going to a camp see and you notice all the bitching ammonium about immigrants or as the teabaggers would say immigrants always involves for some reason immigrants of color yeah a darker shade of us yeah everybody the other words the blame as far as all them dog southern and western states the blame seems to always be on the peoples that are darker shades in us here they don't bitch and moan about in immigrants from Europe there's a lot of Polish immigrants in the next town over from us a large Polish there's a lot of Poles in Chicago Chicago you know they didn't bitch and moan nobody complained about those in the emigrants it was always the emigrants of color to get the blame for everything that's it so anyway all I could say is Donald Trump I believe you should be very very meticulous in who you choose for your cabinet because it will come back to bite you on the ass and it is a reflection on you President Trump if you get if you have anybody questionable working for you at the helm well he already has three so banion the white supremacist racist Flynn general Flynn and Pompeo well he represented a Pompeo I used to use Pompeo and olive oil I used to use Pompeo yeah you better not stand at the base of any volcano I tell you that much little levity but anyway I don't know man the more I think about it the more I get a headache let us let us begin with the our readings for this week's progressive discussions well I'm going to actually we're doing very good on time probably because I got here earlier I am going to add to your headache oh here comes with some Trump stuffy trump and Z information Z information yes not until November 11 did I become angry all other emotions from shock and sadness to fear and foreboding had welled up but on Veterans Day a man who is no veteran and with a morbidly obese ego called student protesters spoiled cry babies so if you exercise the your your first amendment right for for just defiable reasons you are a crybaby or what did what did Trump call them oh professional professional protesters well there's which means they're being paid yeah well there's articles that claim George Sorrell's paid a whole heap in helping of them to instigate trouble Rudy Julie Annie's disdain for the first amendment second grandma and the right of the people to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for a redress of grievances is shameful apparently freedom of speech means nothing there's no neck and he and he and he he vibrates his head back and forth with his eyes squinty unless it's his own vitriolic speech to all the protesters out there forsake violence but be persistent keep fighting for a more perfect union wherever you can in college classrooms on the web but or on the streets of America definitely be proactive we the people definitely stay proactive this land belongs to all of us it is up to the young and the brave to secure the blessings of liberty yeah not the young that just want to come to rallies and turn it into woodstock the young that are serious about the reason why they're at the rallies you know for God's sakes and then they end up not voting yeah they interviewed some some young person the other day and he did not vote he was at the bar he was at the rally he was at the rally because he just wanted it was a place to go he wanted a party he wanted a they wanted a party like they did at the Occupy Wall Street they they had their college kids just hung out because it was something happening there with a lot of people you know perhaps it is time for the media in our country to stop giving these vile and despicable protests over Donald Trump winning the election attention well the media gives a lot of stupid unnecessary entities attention like anytime Sarah Palin talks or Barbara or Bachman Turner overdrive or whatever how you want to call her you know the less notoriety these people receive the faster they will vanish from our lives ignore them there is never any justification for beating people in the street or burning and shutting down businesses just because you did not get your way those who don't like our country are free to leave and go someplace else yeah they might go someplace a lot better Scandinavia northern Europe well they don't forget people are so petty and primitive they they actually turn over cars and set bonfires when their team wins a world championship or when they lose yeah guys in a football game any reason to college foot like savages any any reason act like savages yeah I have been quietly watching listening and reading articles particularly letters to the editor why are a majority of the writers in an uproar about the election the media tend to fuel this as well this country needs change and Donald Trump will attempt to provide it with Hillary Clinton we would have had four more years like the last eight granted Donald Trump speaks his mind and sometimes puts his foot in his mouth well that's that's true but I firmly believe he has the country's best interest at heart we can do with Tom Selleck that he wrote in the the sheriff of Dallas Texas or a commissioner or some somebody in charge of the police force in Dallas Texas to do what as president of the United States he said that on the view Tom Selleck the actor wrote yeah I know me yeah he's now doing a commercial for for the you know where they get the money out of your home Tom Selleck yeah that's the most when they get old yeah Magnum PI yeah now he's on blue bloods for seven years no he that's what happens when they get old they do commercials like Robert Wagner yeah Henry Winkler he's all gray he doesn't have actually looks pretty good he doesn't have to be all gray to the mama Luke the colors here you can get just for men and look like the fawns and wear the leather jacket I think people would like that seeing him in the leather jacket you know wet with the black hair slick back the hell's the matter are you Henry Winkler our country needs to be more forceful forceful and not submit to people and other countries because it's politically correct I am also tired of hearing about political correctness me to let's just do the right thing hey this guy's a smart cookie I believe Trump is the one to lead us in that direct well I don't know now I now his cookies starting to crumble well it's just hope that one it's a black and white cookie can we all get low cookie and we got to stop sending taxpayers money to other countries we just can't look I agree with Trump there we can't afford this anymore well that is a small part of the budget number one and what yeah very small part of the middle the the hundreds of millions that go to other countries that's no if it's 10 10 15 billion it's a lot you got you mean collectively the bases around the world the countries pay us for their protection that's what it's all about we get their land for free we get so many amenities and etc it's like the mob you know I say no kidding it's you know yeah when a guy comes into your store he's I'm going to sell you some protection what it was a you need protection yeah there was a all in the family one where some put someone's put a swastika on Archie's door yeah and the head of one of the Jewish organizations in the something you offer him protection yeah you know oh he called him booby booby yes and then he got blown up in his car no you know who that was that was that was the act that was the actor who played Julio in Sanford and son and I believe he played it's again what was Barney Miller yeah Barney Miller channel you remember all their name I already remember the Dietrich the one that confused me all the time is Ron Glass the black guy so with the fraud the Afro Sergeant Harris Ron Glass yeah the smiley one right now on cable 114 during the week they played two Barney Millers and now they're playing the old ones when his wife was in it Barbara Barry and Jack Sue was there and fish everybody and what you how it was what you how it's in the in the team at that time yes because who replaced Jack Sue was a Dietrich no no no Dietrich was there already I'm trying to replace Jack Sue there were with Chano maybe could be which when Jack Sue died no Sue and Chano are still are there in the early one yes suit with fish Sue played on the odd couple as a wrestler from a red China well speaking of wrestlers saw a size the loan was on Johnny Carson last night I believe well the night before Johnny Carson's dead they play it on 114 and oh it was a it was a Johnny Carson classic yeah and at that time he made Rocky 3 with mr. T and Hulk and Hulk they showed it's Sylvester Stallone in the ring with Hulk Hogan short Hulk Hogan was like Andre the giant next to slice the law next to slide honest to God they I never knew he was that big well Hollywood has a way of well look what they do with like Al Pacino Robert De Niro and all them guys you know they don't they don't show their true height they you know everybody's bigger on camera and you but not only in a height but the definition the cut and everything I mean Hulk was just massive well Hulk that was his when he was in his prime yeah yeah that's when he turned heel to babyface he was he was with Freddie Blasey for all this time he had the cape the big gold cape that I think he used as thunder lips in the Rocky 3 I'm sorry people we were digressing quite a bit but I was gonna say something but any I forgot there is a pawl on our democracy when a candidate wins on a platform of bigotry recrimination as if some banana as if we're some banana Republic Donald Trump has exceeded in appealing to our darker side he has divided not unified he is triumphed in riling up the base with such hate and rage his rallies were representative of the darker side in all ways as people have taken leave of their wits and humanity true his actions defy common decency and morality he has chosen to abandon the very principles that inspired our ancestors to seek out the blessing what was what was more what was moral and decent about the entire DNC and the Clinton campaign it was nothing you know what I mean it's like whoever is without sin may cast a first stone well you know what Trump said that he if he's right he will never settle well he just settled the suit for twenty five million dollars of Trump University because he was guilty I mean Trump you said he would win he also said that he was going to sue all those women who came forward he said he was going to sue everybody that talked bad about him well he I only heard the women awful lot of people broke yeah you go broke but you know I mean and it's the it's the Hillary supporters probably the the dykes and the the gays that are have been nagging President Obama to give Hillary Clinton a total blanket pardon from what I understand well at the moment she's not guilty of anything well it's hard to it's hard to find her guilty of anything when the FBI right turns a blind eye if that's what they did we know she was careless we know she was reckless but is that criminal see that's where we are well you know what you got to be prove you got to be proven guilty new process right that's it you got to be proven guilty and um um um you know is it possible for a court to make a decision based on sufficient evidence only or do you still need eyewitnesses to testify don't need eyewitnesses you can do you could get cases one on circumstantial evidence like like what about what about like overwhelming evidence then you don't need anybody to come forth and testify because when they testified or afraid they might get bumped off you know yeah a lot of people don't do that you know because of thought that yeah especially in cases that involve anything black hand or something like that well any yeah I mean I mean yeah I mean look it's an evil world I think we're living in the end times and I don't know honestly I don't know what is to become of the Trump administration all I know is aside from the jokes about reality shows he has to be very very meticulous in who he chooses and so far he has not been well I look at it this way yeah we survived the GW Bush administration yeah yeah so I believe we will survive this one living on freaking rice and beans with no health care with less health care than we have now and the wars and the death of innocent military personnel what about to enrich a few what about the the death of massive amounts unnecessary death of massive amounts of Iraqi civilians well that for nothing that's right no weapons of mass destruction that's right no nothing no ever speaking of evidence Bill Morrill says oh I think there really is no don't find it don't find it there really is weapons didn't find it yet Bill hey how much more time you're going to give him now he's a very pro establishment well that's not that's not good enough it's it's established is lying so then he turns around and say what makes us think that our underground sources are telling the truth I says you know what Bill you know what and then you know he says well your favorite multivitamin how do you know that what is on the label is really going into your body I says Bill I don't know exactly I don't know and that's why you need regulations I don't know I mean I mean I'm not going to say you're wrong you know I don't know well you got to be right hey the the other day 4c uh parmesan cheese yeah salmonella cellulose and salmonella salmonella well it's got so no it doesn't know why does that happen I'm sorry 4c and rienzi do not have anti-caking cellulose how to hell the salmonella which is which comes from um usually poultry how did it contaminate parmesan cheese in the preparation hey because in quality control are not there at all these people that were buying uh what was it I am's uh pet food I buy I am's from China I buy I am's oh I buy I am's that meanwhile their animal died from the the melamine pentamine palamine what was China melamine melamine melamine somebody from China melamine yeah it's what the hell are they getting crap from mainly in China to go and I am's pet food well it's like our our chickens our chickens we're shipping over to China have them processed and then he come back here the hell do we need that bullshit for yeah whatever happens to uh jobs jobs jobs yeah trickle trickle dickle Trump is also speaking about brother Trump is now saying that he prevented Ford from moving their uh uh uh the mk uh the the the uh of the new Lincoln the Lincoln from moving to Mexico he prevented it huh yeah he did so he's they weren't going so he's a superhero yeah exactly but he he lies well and that's one thing he does oh well well they're fibs they're little fibs maybe to him they're but they're live a fib is like a white lie right like a little I don't distinguish between white black or gray it's a lie if a person lies about their age with that can is that considered yes no it's not considered right no but it's uh women get upset if a man lies about his age because they say they you know it's like well they're on the defensive because you're a man so automatically you're you're you're up to no good so but if you lie about your age they get it they get mad but women have been lying about their age for decades but the 10 commandments say no so you don't lie at all so it's best so if you're if you're an old geezer of 100 but you you're so loaded with antioxidants and uncle oxidants and and and you look like 45 years old you should still tell the ladies that you're 100 you'd be proud of it even though yeah but you might not get late as much you might not get all them young Miley Cyrus's with their tongues going sideways well that's that's their problem and you know yeah his problem I mean if you tell the truth you know um like the old saying goes you know uh you can't be honesty and tell them the truth but if but you know like I said you might not get you might get not might not get late as often anyway anyway that's another talk show Trump's election is a crack in the foundation of the principles that we have always thought to be the bedrock of our nation tolerance the bedcock decency equality respect and kindness oh you want those things in a presidency yes good luck in crappitalism already trump is casting the press as agitators of the protesters already he is using scapegoats and finger pointing once he is criticized or hey you humiliated his proven defense is to vilify and silence his critics hey you I'm talking to you I got a bone to pick with you my finger you see my finger is pointing at you yeah hey you that's right anyway go ahead he will use court decrees executive orders to achieve this objective I like the executive order can we be confident that we will always have a free press the best and the brightest from around the world oh yeah sure you got that now you're the press and the media is so unbiased and honest may no longer study and live here they may not see us as a beacon of hope and opportunity but rather as a nation in economic social and moral decline these stability and values that we projected worldwide are now questioned no foreign power could do more to undermine America as Donald Trump's presidency in the final presidential debate Hillary Clinton promised to accept the results of the election what else is she gonna say now her supporters are demonstrating throughout the country based on her commitment the moral and right thing to do is for Clinton to reach out to these anti-trump demonstrators demanding that they cease their on civil acts as of yet she has failed to do so knock another not gonna cease with you if you order them to cease you got to show them you got to show them I was talking about Donald Trump he's got to show them through action through action that he is what he says he he's going to be a president for all the people I want to apologize for that fucking noise outside floor yeah and you know it happens today happens to be caturday it's actually saturday but you know uh Reverend Dr. William Eisenman is a cat anyway caturday and everybody's out and about doing their shit on cat on saturday so i want to apologize for the noise jabroni's leaf blower what a stupid invention the leaves are gonna blow around anyway from the winds of november yeah later today yeah so they're gonna blow around they're gonna blow back unless you're collecting of course that I think landscapes have some kind of a leaf grinder vacuum mulch mulch yeah like sucks the leaves up and it pulverizes yeah you know you know instead of raking it like a jabroni and putting it in giant garbage bags which is a real hump job you can get deer tick bites too from that as one of editorial page editor Alfred P. Doblin's most appreciative readers I was astonished to read he considered both candidates dishonest yes yes as if there were no distinction between them yes I agree that's why you jerk should have voted for Jill Stein he had won was a 30 year veteran of service to this country oh god a woman who has served as first lady senator and secretary of state that doesn't mean just because you're you're appointed to a high job that doesn't mean that you were uh good and and and all inclusive and what you do and the other was widely seen as a misogynist and racist was well known for not paying his business bills yeah he stiffed a lot of people and he grabbed a lot of coochies and has never served yes in any political position well he didn't pay he didn't pay the caterer that took care of his daughter Ivanka's wedding because he didn't like the food and then some somebody did a job the order of food yeah well they have to be paid I mean if everybody did that the poor caterer will go out of business real fast and and secondly um the um he told the caterer well you know how much business you're gonna get because you did my daughter Ivanka's wedding because of who I am my association that's just an excuse not to be sued you know that's just an excuse to get everything for free pretty much because they're special these are the mega rich the rich do not like to pay the normal price for anything I hear they they have to have a special well they feel entitled yes to everything for nothing and they get their ass kiss they also are notorious for not being good tippers the great they don't leave the adequate gratuities they're cheap motherfuckers the richer they get am I to put it in layman's terms to put it in layman layman's terms that's it I am most disappointed that doblin repeats the same false perception so typical of our timid american media I had thought so much better of him now if you'd like I will uh move on to something else right now just to break it up because yeah yeah we we got bombarded with a lot of politics because I got a I got a lot more Trump usually I belly ache that we don't have enough hard-hitting readings but I think I need a break my mind is trumpified no it's just that I'm um you know like too much heavy duty negative info at once yeah I want to keep my spirits up I don't want to look pathetic like the burning bird you know over here poor thing permit me to answer a writer's wondering about where atheists go when they have trials sickness and death in the family answer we go nowhere because there is no helpful place to go and we realize we aren't as we are as as is everyone on our own and so we must do anything that can be done and when the atheists dies the worms get them the the magnets magnets like my grandma used to say the the magnets yeah that's it end the end is very final with the atheists very final if there were a god I don't see what comfort he could give if someone I deeply loved was taken from me well uh if there were there were there is a god and uh if the atheists had proof of that he would be he would have the comfort of knowing that there wouldn't be an atheist then your loved one and he wouldn't be an atheist the loved one is well taken care of if their loved one was not a no good rotten son of a bitch but what we have is that there are god people who never prove that their god exists and that is a big problem well you can't prove religion I mean you have faith is based on hope it's like it's like wishful thinking hope right it's it's yes who has really proved anything and then if you tell the uh the scientists they'll still say you know if you tell von dyne again you'll say uh all the angels were extra extra terrestrials the poet robert frost said we have to die on our own no one can help us yeah and the same is true for those who grieve yes this can be tough but we find it better to do it than to turn to a deity who is called awesome sovereign omnipresent but who let a loved one die hey look at poor robin heard he is now resting in an unmarked grave no no one knows where his true grave is you know if there were a deity I would not pray to him but curse him well he allows certain things to happen yeah but that's explained the bible tells you we are caught off from him totally in other words adam and eve they really ticked off goard big time when they did what they did that's in other words mankind as a whole is suffering for the sin for the one big kahunasin of adam and eve that is correct I can't I would say eve eve did it first but you know what I mean but then again adam could have said I want no part of this you're on your own eve a second question asked was how can one say there is no god when every bird and flower shows his handiwork looking at a sunset gives proof there is a great creator that's what can create tells me there's doesn't prove anything it doesn't prove anything what about the creation itself the seed of the acorn turning into a thing what and what you're looking what about the universe itself it just happened from what shit happens I don't know well that's the point shit happens it's unexplainable as we know yeah you know without a creator that's why you have a big bang theory yeah but the big bang theory gets something that bangs and becomes something else hey how do you get that even some of what some not all even some of what Albert Einstein had said back then has uh was proven wrong by some of the quantum physicists today things evolve but but you know what our forefathers you know they laid the groundwork the foundation well but there's no one has explained something from nothing like nobody learned a lesson when Martin Luther challenged the Catholic Church right yeah we did it's called Presbyterianism Protestants well was he was the first to challenge the the cult of the Roman Catholic Church yeah and that became and then the reform movement became Protestants right but then protest then from Protestants non-Catholics you had uh phony balonies popping up well there's all phony balonies you know you have all these evangelists uh like your uh Peter Popovs and all these uh Joel Olsteins they're they're all from the Protestant faith yeah evangelicals yeah I don't know when they become a a a tv evangelist evangelist sheister I think I think like organized religion really doesn't want to be affiliated with them you know like I mean the ones that are taking all the donations and spending it on themselves a lot of people come to their rallies still give them money a lot of people give them money because they they get caught up in that prosperity preacher thing God wants you to be rich and he wants you to get richer and richer and richer and richer but do they ever tell you that what they do is socialistic communistic because they are taking other people's money and living on it well the tithe tell you that the tithe they they misinterpret the the word tithe or they just they they corrupt the word tithe you know they they make it like you're going to get a blessing if you give the more money you donate to my ministry the more you're going to be blessed the tithe is supposed to go to pay for God's work period there's there's the magic works God's work God's work God's work is not so you can have your private jet and live in a mansion yeah live in high on a hog like a boss hog would say I see the pretty bird hey there it is but I also see the hawk and other raptors that tear flesh from their prey while it is still live hey what about the lions on the sarin gady plane they tear into that zebra or wildebeest I see beautiful flowers but I also see crabgrass stinkweed venus fly trapped and poison ivy let me tell you something brother some of those weeds are very medicinal like purslane perfect example very nutritious and dandelion you know what I mean and I see a sunset but also reed of a tsunami that drowns hundreds of thousands of people hey I see ganats they don't bite you they just pester you what on earth do they feed on where did they come from I never read an article about the poor little ganat uh mosquitoes their bloodsuckers parasites ticks ticks fleas lice they're parasites why did God create the parasite they don't serve any useful purpose you know what I mean we can go on and on and on and on it is easy to believe in a god if one looks at just the right things but harder if we look at the whole picture and it isn't right to say well but god didn't make those things just read the biblical john who wrote without him was not anything made that was made that's very possible or john you also have to respect the scientists when they said maybe humanity and society as we know it and this our civilization was all is all a big extraterrestrial experiment well that that is obviously not proven because you would have them here where are they now they're shy no shy my ass they show up once in you know a couple thousand years and then they're they're superior to us and everything but they're not here well because they're the planet earth is what big reality show to them they're being entertained they probably had a ever rating system right now I actually saw that on south park episode of south park you know advanced extraterrestrials you use the earth as a as a big like a reality yeah a reality show in a zoo yeah I do god a favor and don't believe in him that's rather arrogant of him he sounds like a bitter person atheism and agnosticism numbers are most rapidly growing belief groups worldwide freedom of religion also implies freedom from religion a lot of cultists too popping up unfortunately as a humanist satanic cultists I choose to believe in good in our world well then you're polygamous you believe if you believe totally in goodness and everybody one does not need imaginary gods and false images to be honest truthful kind and lawful over the course of history organized religion has been responsible for most wars and genocide I agree perhaps the shift in logical thinking will finally allow atheists to come out of the closet when a person is delusional he or she is diagnosed as psychotic when a group of people are delusional it is called the religion a lot of people only think about the lord on religious holidays you know and they don't practice it all year round you know or or those that go through the motions and they go to church once a week or dressed up and their Sunday go to meet and close and they're all friendly in the church and as soon as they leave kaput they do not historically follow back the origin of true religion and true holidays god given the original ones yeah they don't do that no they stop somewhere's around I don't know 60 70 ad at the Jesus died yeah well when the rise of the emperor constantly what became the Roman capital Simon Magus and emperor Constantine converted pagan holidays into early christian holiday yes early christian holidays you have east is actually ishtar you know so and so then you have Saturnalia Brumalia and the the teutonic holiday of the yule the god of yule which which is where the word you yule well the yule it's uh it's depicted as a yule they have a man's face with a long like white beard long hair kind of like santa claus looking guy and uh he's covered with holly and they call that the yule yule yeah I mean the role the role based on paganism but they don't go far back enough and then the united states okay the united states probably the you know jews control retail industry they they they make money off of all these pagan based holidays yeah that's what they're for yeah they retail retail now we got christmas commercials way before thanksgiving yeah way before you tasted the uh the the traditional turkey the toiki before you say mashed potatoes gravy scrotum mashed potatoes i love all you're gonna get if you're giving me yams why the hell am i why do i need the extra carbs in mashed potatoes i'll take them both now too many carbs i'll take you got to start eating properly young man portion size oh okay you don't have to eat all you know a big bunch of carbs i may on my plate there is always more meat than size me too i love turkey okay i love turkey uh i i need gravy because i like the breast meat but you gotta have gravy on it because uh you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna try to cook it breast down to see if the old bag on tv commercials right about self-basting if you cook the turkey with the breast down the fat from the dark meat seeps down onto the breast and the breast sits in the drippings you understand song yeah it sounds good and if you happen to do louisiana style deep fried turkey outside because if you do it inside suicide be careful be careful do not and i repeat do not ever place a frozen turkey in the hot oil and if you do so and and your house catches on fire and and your relatives are hit by the blazing flames you'll think of what i said the one letter writer says that thomas jefferson respected jesus christ has a great philosopher but that he was not god no of course not that's why he wrote his bible without the miracles and all the other stuff the jefferson bible yeah oh by the way i will not and i repeat not ever never ever shop on thanksgiving day do not do not condone and support black friday retail greed black friday i don't shop on black friday we think i'm not exactly exactly i know i don't like crowds and traffic and all that long lines i buy things i buy everything online anyway google shopping amazon ebay you think i go to these retail stores all right go ahead go ahead the problem with that jefferson out scripture he claimed to be the son of god and received worship who wants to follow a teacher who might make claims of deity that could be either false or true but not at the same time as that would not be possible another writer holds the idea of ethical living as unique in comparison to religious beliefs because of the respect and meaningfulness it encourages without the dogma of theology where did the idea of caring for and respecting others come from and why pursue it no it's just the right thing to do and it's uh there's a you know things like empathy and compassion and they should naturally come out of a normal human being's mind purpose does not happen accidentally all religions have nice people even uh even people uh that we call primitive that live in uh borneo or sumatra they you know they even will give you a very friendly greeting hello yeah i mean no there's a lot of there's a lot of good people that are that are that are kind from other other religions other faiths you know it's just uh a normal person who's not screwed up in the head usually is that way okay hopefully you're ready for a break sure you're ready for an invigorating break because this is a little longer okay you're gonna need that that that uh urinal oh it's a joke it's a little private joke anyway

mysteries at the museum and they were did you know there was actually more than one there was actually more than one tokyo rose during world war two it was like uh it was several of them and they uh they just spoke english if they were successful you know i guess they hired a couple other ones actually one of the the tokyo rose that they the united states arrested and threw in federal prison for 10 years she was in she was a um she was a japanese american that was visiting japan uh during the time when they attacked pearl harbor and and then she couldn't go back so they the japanese government said uh they recruited her yeah they recruited her anyway they had several of them you know and tokyo rose is a nickname given by the troops the us troops she used to say stuff like your your your wives are cheating on you right now yeah yeah bring me i guess to bring morale down right well yeah to make them fear to bring morale down to make them to to break down their their general mental uh state of mind yeah yeah yeah um oh they also found 20 miles of tunnels in the austrian alps near that lake where von ribbentrop had his getaway mansion uh they they they were uh during world war two that's where they were doing um experiments on the jet aircraft that they just were starting to develop the germans in the tunnels and then i heard japan had their jet aircraft also in mountainous tunnels but but when they came out with the jet technology it was like you know when they perfected the rocket the v1 and the v2 rocket it was towards the end of the war yeah so i mean well that's why that's why the german scientists um were very much responsible for both the soviet union and the united states as well all through history germany has been science a yes exactly a star in science in science well martin luther was it was even german martin luther i mean intellect anything any intellectual endeavor they have always been superstars you know um across the board okay let us continue i i know you had a a big whopper before we went to lunch yeah and of course we might get criticism for getting up and taking a break but that's too fucking bad all right go ahead elated congressional republicans pledged swift action on wednesday on president elect donald trump's agenda as they heralded an extraordinary new era of unified g.o.p. control in washington yeah that means kill off the poor he just earned a mandate house speaker paul ryan of wisconsin declared we are going to hit the ground running yeah gee i wonder what they're so enthusiastic about said the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell of kentucky we would like to see the country go in a different direction different and intend to work with him to change the course for america yeah the course for america to benefit whom well you know it's strange but i didn't see one democrat stand up and say we are going to make donald trump a one-term president no they will give him nothing they're all saying that they they want to they want to work with them and you see the difference in in attitude and and the democrats continue with this damn him pandering pacifist politically correct kumbaya way of thinking you know even though their corporates today uh they they they just don't go for the throat like the right wing does the right wing goes right we can eat we can eat pigeon livered yeah pucillanimus pipsqueaks the republicans saw their majorities in the house and senate reduced but not by much as democrats hopes of retaking senate control vanished the because all the stupid teabaggers out there in america and though ryan and mcconnell both had well publicized reservations about trump both were quick to declare that the newly elected president deserved the credit donald trump pulled off an amazing political feat he deserves tremendous credit for that said ryan who initially refused to endorse trump and only last month declared he'd no longer defend you well tech cruise said no i'm not i'm not endorsing him either yeah well now he's sucking up to him maybe he wants uh he wants to be appointed after what he said about his wife and all the other shit now he's sucking up he's ready to suck ass yeah he deserves tremendous credit ryan who initially refused to endorse trump and only last month declared no longer defend him it helped us keep our majorities but it also showed the country that people don't like the direction we're going no they they rather um they're at the start to death on the streets well they didn't like that too much by voting for bernie did they anyone change enough no the american the american people uh well hey the dnc hasn't learned their lesson either they they seem to be holding on to um um candidates that are very much uh establishment corporates and and also with the tainted backgrounds that they're not they haven't learned their lesson the american people are you would think they suffered long enough to learn their lesson no no they're fed up with that shit passive passive is passive but they like the idea of blaming people of color immigrants of color they love that they love the scapegoat uh uh uh muslims and mexicans you know immigrants of color they love it they relish it first up would be repealing president obama's healthcare law sure why hey what do we need healthcare for let let the poor drop dead who needs a dentist let their teeth fall out uh something republicans have already shown they can get through congress with just a narrow senate majority what they haven't done is unite around a plan for ensuring that the 20 million who achieved health care coverage under the landmark law don't lose it oh by the way is chuck schumer uh standing up uh as a voice for the democrats or has he yes he is now the minority leader in the senate and so it's him and bernie sanders are the only ones that have the balls to stand up to anything mostly burning that's what it looks like that's what it looks like i mean well yeah but there's another independent in there and i don't know exactly who it is i mean bernie said two independents in the senate yeah bernie said on the view we're going to hold them dollop trump accountable for everything he promised everything he said good but bernie you can't be by yourself up there screaming and y'all that's for sure waving your hands around you got that's the last 30 years you know yeah how did it get you well it got it got him you know what it didn't get him anywhere because everything he said for the last 30 years did did not end up on mainstream media that's correct so unless you i don't even know if c span shows showed what bernie said over the last probably did but who the hell watches c span nobody exciting does no nobody nobody of any interest you know usually oh man republicans also celebrated the opportunity to fill existing supreme court vacancies and potentially more to come yeah with constitutional conservatism it should be freaking uh this should be term limits on everybody including them mcconnell was being widely praised for his strategy once seen as risky of refusing to act on obama's nominee to replace justice anton and scalia who died last february the republicans they just want slave labor no benefit they want to bring back the industrial revolution before unions they want to bring back they want you to just drop dead on the job you know and and work for nothing i think they want don't they don't want you to have any power in a job the boss wants to give you a job that's it you take what he's going to give you and that's it right and it was you there's nothing else you got no rights there's nothing to fall back on union you know unions were once called communists just like the a and a and a a cp sessions called communist organizations yeah the black organizations and now double it is up to be uh uh the attorney general or whatever message hey recently i was reading an article about a man that was arrested for uh hanging the american flag upside down out of uh a protest for eminent domain he was protesting eminent domain and they arrested him for that so i guess i guess there's no more first amendment uh well they sure like to do away with it that's for them i mean they like to do away with it you know i mean protesting uh without violence is part of the first amendment and if you if you don't have the money to take the case to court you'll lose anyway because justice is not free in america okay you have to pay for it and like bernie sanders says the united states is the only country in the world where you where where they don't provide free health care well actually he's wrong i think latin america doesn't provide free health care some of them do columbia is like they're really capitalist you got to pay out of pocket very friggin thing like it's it's a it's a republicans dream when you have to pay out of pocket for every damn thing every damn thing i mean that sucks that a country like that a system like that really really sucks you know how much how how superior northern europe is to our right wing capitalist system you don't see scandinavians migrating to the us the last time i heard about them coming here is is way before i was born when the when the lumberjacks went to uh minnesota the the speedish the scandinavian lumberjack people you know pull bunions time that's it they got a good over there fur trappers fur trappers they got a great over there we're saying germany too has has a pretty good system well we're trying to destroy it chudeau prime minister of canada we're sticking our nose is very system so you know it's very progressive mr chudeau is very progressive try to screw them up yeah sabatucci yeah yeah well it's up to those people to do what they've been doing like when they threw out monsanto is to say no get the hell out but a lot of this stuff is done on the secrets and the people don't know what's going on you know so even though bill morrow calls Vladimir Putin a scumbag you know i told him that man really goes to bat for the russian people you ought to tell billy is billy uh oh you don't go on on the internet no you know he doesn't watch the cnn because if you would go on the internet and look up uh gary kosparov the world champion chess player that was once and he ran against Putin and he'll tell you what Putin really is he don't like him too much it's not a matter of like it's what he really is what is he kjb killer well but he he kicked out the um he kicked out the the Rothschilds you know or the the big international banksters he kicked them out of russia he kicked out bonsanto why because they sanctioned him americans have sanctions america has sanctions on him right now in other words they try they try to uh squeeze him out they try to take they try to make him impotent take his power away oh yeah oh not but not because he was necessarily thinking about the good the good will of the the the russian people now now now so it's all about me me me power selfish and remember hooten was already president and then he gets mentioned that did whatever his guy's name was to get in there for four years or six years or whatever it is for the president over there and then he runs again against kosparov and so he was like taking the vacation he was president that's right so he delegated in other words he couldn't run consecutive so he ran behind another guy you know he's a smart cookie he's a smart cookie he's a black white cookie you ever see them black or white and i never like them i don't like them but i'd see him you know black on one side white on the other i like oatmeal raisin i like a good chocolate chip a good chocolate chip not not not cheap crap you see the supermarket but a good one one and that gingerbread uh ginger yeah a real uh ginger cookie and republicans pledged to try to unwind any number of executive moves by obama including tougher clean air rules on power plants looser restrictions on travel to kuba and tougher rules on sleep for long haul truckers among others every single one that's sucking the very life out of our economy g.o.p senator david perdu of georgia said in an interview you see those this is how they think of those good things in in uh people's benefit they're sucking the life out of our economy all these regulations anything that helps a little guy is is no good for a republican that's great how i'm trying to understand the whole psychology of greed how the fuck could a person who's a multi-billionaire and some of them in washington are considered billionaires how could you not have enough and not be satisfied and not be happy i don't understand you're an old geezer you're an old geezer how much do you want how much do you want you're an old what you got one foot on a banana peel one foot in the grave uh mitch mcconnell looks like a wrinkly old freaking turtle oh oh that's another thing americans bitching moan all the time on social media uh in the barbershop everywhere but they reelected the incumbents again they keep on re-electing the incumbents at every single election i don't want to hear diddly dick from anybody who complains that threatened to wipe away key areas of progress highlighted by democrats under the obama administration the system is no good it's no damn good some of trump's goals could be harder to achieve a wall on the southern border is estimated to cost 10 to 20 billion dollars that congress may be unlikely to provide given that cooperation for democrats would be necessary uh indeed the senate democratic minority stood as the only legislative barrier to trump's goals since 60 votes are required for most consequential moves in the senate 60 votes um well trump but president trump should should uh stop being so damn nice to the republicans because many of the promises that he has made even recently are are not um right wing friendly let's put it that way you know what i mean like uh you know allocating money for america's rebuilding america's infrastructure and the rail system which is horrible i mean the the whole world has the bullet train i think even china has the bullet train probably the best bullet train in the world with the air economy and i mean the united states has what amtrak amtrak and csx you know things you know a piece of crap put put put put unbelievable oh man anyway go ahead welfare reform welfare reform they're already giving people 140 dollars a month in new jersey lousy chump change of 140 a month what reform you mean that means do away with it right well yeah where are you going to get them door jobs out there uh republicans where are them door jobs may be the last great bright partisan success story by partisan it was enacted in 1996 by a republican congress led by newt gingrich and by democratic president debil clinton in response to decades of public frustration with the u.s system of aid to the poor i i just got a light bulb over my head i'm going to start i'm going to start blaming the corporate whore u.s media more than the american voter because if the corporate whore u.s media was truly uh unbiased and you would have saw jill stein in the presidential debates you would have saw three individuals debating instead of just two the people didn't get to know the outside of the option that is great they did not get to know jill stein they get they didn't they didn't they many people are not even aware of the green party i bet no this is the problem the media the media is um you know i mean those that are that are so old-fashioned that they don't believe in going online with the computer you know and i know somebody like that you know uh still believes american media's american journalism is unbiased it's a stupid horses ass way of thinking but i know somebody who is like that at the time the law had liberal enemies some of whom resigned from clinton's administration in protest of his signing it yeah sign away work last eagle welfare reform 1996 we know gang rich on top of glass getting rid of glass deagle yeah glass deagle was 1999 welfare reform uh is a fancy way of saying screw the little guy screw the poor those enemies have grown in number in recent years in part that's because the democratic party has moved leftward generally and decided that past compromises can now be revisited liberals have grown i don't know where this guy believes that democrats have moved left that'll be the day liberals also grow have grown more and more convinced over time that the welfare reform was a disaster for the poorest among us and therefore a moral disaster for the nation as a whole i remember that uh time in history and uh the only jobs i saw that were supposedly stimulated by the clinton administration uh bill clinton were hamburger flipping jobs yeah but there were 22 million of them and there were a lot in uh suck away that money with that minimum wage job hey they were a lot in uh at the internet too and then when the internet went bust you know the bubble that went down oh yeah there was uh you know like craigslist employment help wanted this dad blah blah blah the sunday newspaper uh you know at that time had a lot of jobs i think there were several pages of the help everybody wanted a website help wanted yeah yeah yeah for their side many conservatives have pronounced the system of failure as well claiming that its safety net features have done little to affect poverty rates the good news is that claims on both sides are almost certainly wrong Scott Winship a careful researcher at the conservative manhattan institute has a new report arguing that welfare reform deserves to be remembered fondly it imposed work requirements fuck you on many welfare recipients i'm not you i mean the republican and gave states more flexibility in how they spent their welfare funds what about how you spend the tax money on on on our corporate subsidies and and and uh free free free welfare for the rich huh Winship concludes that child poverty has fallen since its enactment and is now at an all time low get the fuck out of here he finds similar trends for households in deep poverty defined as having less than half the income that puts you at the poverty line poverty is not at an all time low his most provocative claim concerns extreme poverty defined as having less than two dollars a day to live on get homeless right a 2015 book by sociologist kathryn eden and luke schaefer reinforced liberal opinion against welfare reform by arguing that it has led to a sharp increase in the percentage of children living in such a condition and gee why do you think kids turn to gangs gee i wonder why and or to or to uh making money uh illegally not only does Winship provide data denying that this increase has occurred he finds that practically no children in the united states live in extreme poverty really or did so at the time welfare was reformed really the census bureaus well i would question that he works for the conservative manhattan institute what do you expect out of there does he ever visit the ghettos of the united states or the heritage infa institute or all the you know these conservative things i just want to how do you expect from him i don't want to sweep the poor under the carpet yeah no he's not going to visit these areas the census bureaus official measurements show only modest improvements in child poverty since 1996 winship argues that a more accurate measure of trends should take account of the non-cash benefits that poor households receive such as food stamps we should also place some economic value on these households health care benefits he makes a strong case that the inflation measures of the congressional budget office and the federal reserve are superior to the one used by the census bureau because the census bureau overstates inflation it underestimates improvements in poor people's purchasing power that's a big bullshit because the cpi is already rigged not in favor of the little guy we're being lied to left and right actually the history books i grew up with were a waste of taxpayers money they were all crap when he adjusts the data in these and other ways winship finds that 13.1 percent of children lived in poverty in 1996 while 7.8 percent did in 2014 yeah when if anybody stood up and screamed at this guy when he made all these statements the most recent year with available data the families that eden and shaper profile are living in harrowing conditions as winship acknowledges but he provides evidence that very few households have to goodbye on less than two dollars a day why don't they just cut does it just call the guy what he is he's a fucking liar it's a situation so rare has to make it impossible to determine reliably whether it has grown or is less prevalent let alone whether welfare reform caused whatever change occurred winship notes that the deep poverty trends again that's for households at half the poverty line improved more for children of single mothers than for other groups since welfare reform disproportionately affected children in single mother households that pattern adds to the evidence that the law did not cause deep poverty to rise it makes it less plausible that welfare reform caused extreme poverty to rise while the paper undermines the liberal conventional wisdom on welfare it also cast doubt on some of conservative talking points many on the right like to say we had a war on poverty and poverty one winship's data suggests that poverty would have been worse without the safety net winship also stresses that welfare reform was enacted alongside an expansion of the earned income tax credit which made work pay more for many households there's certainly room to argue that we should be doing more to fight poverty in america and doing a better job of allocating public resources but winsome's winship's paper makes a powerful argument to do so we should build on the success of welfare reform rather than to try to reverse it you know why listen why why give a corporation in america any money at all if they outsource american jobs i mean how are we we're we're rewarding we're we are rewarding america's top one percent for screwing the country over pretty much but that's what the country's based on so they're not paying taxes plus they're outsourcing american jobs then they get rewarded for doing that by receiving uh uh uh tax money just handed to them but if the little guy receives a lousy hundred and forty dollars a month oh it's oh it's it's terrible we need to reform that yes you know it's like that's everything is you know geared to that they wanted that i believe that there is an elitist depopulation plan i believe the conspiracy theories on that well a lot of people believe the the rich and the corporations when they say they are the job creators watch ops and not the 70 percent of small business if you're going to believe uh little slogans and phrases that are like cliche from you know the reagan era you have to the proof has to be in the pudding if there's no proof in the pudding why are you still believing in this bullshit about trickle down economics when you know everything's being outsourced now a bigger problem than the american media is the fact that the bernie kratz the former bernie kratz just gave up they simply gave up you know what i mean they uh uh what what bernie sanders did is they saw that they were very hurt by it they were very shocked by it and they simply gave up capitulated they that was it they didn't go anywhere they didn't go to jill stein didn't go anywhere and uh i hate to say it but uh if you're going to if you're going to really dig deep but bernie sanders is really is really plays a big role in in donald trump being the president now bernie sanders didn't realize how many people were following him and sent sending him money you know and people coming to his rallies and he just did it about face and and these these all these voters just simply gave up i had nowhere to go nowhere to go or they thought so and now bernie sanders has the book and uh he's got the book and the book sounds really good but if you're endorsing if you endorse hillary clinton what does that make everything in your book or everything you've said about her when you were campaign right it's like it makes him a hypocrite that's correct it makes him a hypocrite i know he was right many many months ago when he said you know uh i'm still a politician i'm a public politician bernie you're absolutely right you are a politician you know he said he he was a politician that's not a complimentary thing to say about yourself i am a politician but i'm not a trump is saying he's not a politician i'm not establishment trump says he's not a politician yeah and he says trump says he's not establishment yeah but if you're making nice nice with paul ryan that's pretty establishment to me you know and and you're and you're appointing people that are um establishment and have negative backgrounds so uh that's that i mean uh how are we doing on time well we can go one more if you think so all right all right we could do it next time you step up to the register beware of the cashier promising freebies in exchange for signing up for a store credit card i don't i don't i don't need i don't need that any other trouble interest rates on cards issued by the nation's largest retailers are averaging 23.24 percent interest and listen very carefully viewers be very very careful of store gift cards from the retail uh companies because they have an expiration date why would a gift card that you paid cash for and has the value of the card or the cash yeah the value of the cash paid for the gift card is in the card how could a gift card that you paid for have an expiration date declining value yeah to me that means the retail company is stealing your money here you go it is stealing so being that the pagan a christmas season uh uh with the greedy retail companies is is is very close upon us i just want to give you that tip about retail company gift cards and um um all right go go ahead go ahead it's the highest rate since the website started tracking the rates in 2008 when they averaged 18.28 percent overall the average for all types of credit cards is 15.22 percent with their outrageously high rates most consumers would be wise to steer clear of these cards unless they are 100 certain they can pay their balance off every single month so consider this last reading of this week's show our chiseler's hall of shame the retail companies in america the survey reviewed 68 credit cards offered by 44 retailers nearly half of those store branded cards carried an annual percentage rate of at least 25 percent among the stores with the highest rates were big lots 29.99 percent zails 29.24 percent zails fine jewelry industry one of the biggest rip-off scams in retail and staples 28.24 percent they have some fucking nerve zails because you know what kind of markup they make on all diamonds are you not oh we finish i'm glad you said the word zail i want to i want to educate educate edgy educate you people on on diamonds go ahead finish up i thought you said he only educated oh i thought you want to finish up i won't forget well do it now while you're it's a little involved oh geez okay those high rates look even worse considering that interest rates in general have been hovering at record lows since the federal reserve cut the federal funds rate to near zero at the end of 2008 where it remained until seeing a tiny quarter point boost in december of last year the chief reason that retailer cards tend to charge higher rates to the general purpose card is agreed to compensate for the risk involved with extending instant approval at the register oh poor things the main lure among star card store cards is an immediate 10 percent or 15 percent discount at the checkout big fucking deal as a bonus for signing up they check up the the suggested retail selling price anyway which is another scam they're the retail selling price while the discount might pay off on a major purpose such as a refrigerator most shoppers can get better rewards with a general purpose card suggested retail selling price yeah bonuses you get with a store card can't compare so you're better off shopping around for another card sign up bonuses i've gotten sweeter in the last couple of years as card issuers compete for the best customers for example the chase freedom on limited card offers a $150 cashback bonus for spending $500 in the first three months percentage wise a store credit card can't come close to that offer the chase card also carries an introductory interest rate of zero point percent for the first 15 months which rises to between 14.24 and 23.24 percent depending on the customer's credit worthiness it's important that people don't get pressured into making a bad choice if you are interested in an offer take a brochure and take it home and read it if you're still interested apply the next time you go to the store now getting back to fine jewelry industry zales uh k jewelers jared which i hate hate those commercials diamonds the the beer's diamond diamond mining company in south africa they they deliberately hold back on the exportation of the diamonds that they're mining because there are so many diamonds that are being mined that if they exported the diamonds as they were being mined the value of the diamond would cause it no longer to be a precious gem because in reality the diamond is not anymore a precious gemstone it's a it's all a game they make it like that they make it that you know by they get the right people to to cut to degrade the diamond and cut it and this and that and you know a cubic zirconia is more perfect looking and more beautiful than a real diamond anyway but the point is that it's controlled so the the diamond is not a precious gemstone in reality and uh the markup is uh uh enormous on this this jewelry then they have the nerve to want 28 or 29 percent i believe uh for they are a store credit card on top of what they're doing yeah and uh that's that now so shizzles hall of shame is about the retail uh industry in the united states uh you will see some interesting uh you
