 okay we're back back from lunch thank you William Hamilton Moro the third hopefully our viewers will have seen you but I will see what happens later on with the editor um editor of the you know people in charge of the our IT division here gotta love it gotta love the furnace quiet throughout lunch now it's gonna go on when we come back oh he holds a bub it's trying to stop us now I made a new banner you're gonna love it it says progressive warriors with two skull and crossbones on each side of the word warrior but it is very aesthetically pleasing to the eyeball eye candy eye candy man not as not the same eye candy as let's say Hustler magazine you know Fox magazine but I can't yeah I can't I want to say hello to my friend Peter Clausen of bugs in cyberspace greetings and it's time it's that time of year for the very finest in Irish imported gifts go to Xavier gifts dot com Xavier X a V I ER gifts dot com Xavier gifts it's amazing how the X is pronounced like a C all right we're we're ready Republicans have played with political fire these past seven years exhorting their rank and file to despise the president as illegitimate encouraging their animus toward the media and totally obstructed any semblance of government that has enabled extreme vitriolic resentment and crumbness unlike anything seen before in American politics and now we have the rise of a character like Donald I must say he's always been extremely entertaining and he's even more entertaining now than ever before since he got into politics the having fun watching the Republican debates the GOP is fearful it will have no party and that it will get burned because Trump's candidacy has upended the part good their pain is my pleasure the Republican establishment which has practiced divisive politics through surreptitious dog whistle racism dating back to Richard Nickens Nickens Nixon's a southern strategy Richard Nixon's where's Nickers is most concerned it has lost control of its divisive messages to a blowhard like a truck I guess I guess him and Chris Christie are perfect together it cares not a wick for America unless it reflects their ideology the problem for the Republican Party is not so much what Trump said the real issue is that he has given a loud voice to these decades old political strategies bringing bright sunshine to bear on the deep racial economic and bigoted resentment and fears that the GOP uses to divide people and that is what has made the establishment Republicans fearfully uncomfortable and it should make all of us fearful that we have allowed so many Americans to be left behind Howard Hillary got upset about to when she was called the being part of the establishment I don't know why Mitt Romney and John McGain are upset I think that Republicans have the best man running on their ticket of course I am a Democrat think that I think that Trump is in certain areas of what he says are more to the left than many Republican politicians yes but he can't he can't say that because he's going to crime there he's trying to do right wing shit he's trying to maximize as many votes as he possibly can because when they go back they see that he was for Planned Parenthood gave it money for abortion or to what right in the woman to choose etc etc so he had a lot of liberal positions way back when but he had to alter all of that to be successful in the primary Republican prime speaking of Planned Parenthood the egg salad that I had for lunch is the same as the same value as the fertilized egg in a womb it is not a human baby you morons you evangelical freaks go ahead this is what I heard on Thursday night at the end of the Republican debate the reporter asked will you support Donald Trump if he secures the Republican nomination the candidate answered well let me see I've called him a con artist and a fraud a racist and a misogynist I've said that his tax and trade plans will bankrupt America and he has said that as commander in chief he would order our troops to commit war crimes by murdering the children of terrorists among other things but sure I'll support them did they really say that how could we support any of that you're Europe you hit the nail on the head before about Donald Trump having to sound more right-wing than he actually is yeah because he's campaigning in all those states where these people are still fighting the Civil War and they're big it is all hell terribly racist people yeah yeah gun nuts bring them to their guns and religion what about these states that want minors to be able to carry children imagine teacher but what you want me to stay out the class you're giving me extra homework you failed if you gave me a D on my exam take this bang bang bang bang bang there you go or if she's good looking the kid will take the gun out so you teach it you got here pretty hot looking you see this gun I want you I want you to show me the ropes lock the door you know I mean like all kinds of things will happen when minors can carry well and it's also there you know it seems to me that we have a big problem in this country and around the world I guess where people are too oh forget it especially kids if they're packing and they're impulsive that's a dangerous combination listen if I if I seen fights broke break out big barroom brawls and let's say a dance club where they're the kids are like in the early 20s you know 21 20 whatever but and every week there was a brawl can you imagine younger children being allowed to carry handguns yeah and usually the argument is over something silly legally you know people are dying over yeah oh little whoa oh I'm not the oh you put me on the bench for a little league oh yeah take this boom boom I mean it's gonna be literally it's going to be chaos literally chaos after Hillary Clinton built a commanding advantage in the Democratic race on Super Tuesday some liberal forces that had been more sympathetic to Bernie Sanders appear ready to line up behind Clinton with an eye to the bigger looming challenge Donald Trump although voters in dozens of states had yet to cast ballots and Sanders has amassed a significant campaign war chest on the strength of his grassroots appeal Democrats appear more eager than ever to close ranks at a time when Republican divisions are only deepening even as Clinton was sweeping to victory in delegate rich states today building an advantage Sanders is increasingly unlikely to reverse some progressive groups began to re-align their message aggressive groups first of all Hillary is not progressive these people man move on dot org which has formally endorsed Sanders spent as much of its statement on Tuesday's primary warning about the threat posed by Trump as it did praising the potency of Sanders Smith Trump will and I repeat will destroy and tear apart Hillary Clinton in any debate and in any election you don't want Hillary to win the nomination now if they're calling themselves progressives and they're jumping ship and aligning themselves with Hillary they're not real progressives so if Trump is the Republican standard bearer it will be crucial for progressives and all Americans to unite to defeat the man who represents the antithesis of everything our nation stands for said move on dot orgs executive director Ilya shimon shimon shimon here we go or shaman take your choice oh it reminds me of these these true blue Democrats that say they'll vote for anybody in a democratic anyone who wins democratic nomination either one either one like they're both similar they're not Hillary is not progressive at all another group that styles itself as representative of liberal Democrats the progressive change campaign committee said Sanders had made Clinton a stronger candidate the characterization seemed to imply that Sanders's challenge had served its purpose by putting Clinton clearly on record in support of the issues that motivate their activist base Adam Green co-founder of the committee said that Sanders had helped ensure that the center for gravity in the Democratic Party has shifted to the left to what he called its Elizabeth Warren wing after the Massachusetts senator he said Sanders challenge push Clinton to take more definitive positions on issues like Wall Street reform that she might have otherwise then she might have otherwise on the one hand it's a blessing to the overall Warren wing of American politics but it also has blunted the distinction that Sanders might have had Sanders's campaign insisted Wednesday that the Vermont senator still had a path to the nomination but Sanders's hope of fighting through to the end of primary season it's including California in June it's a massive haul of delegates sounds like more of a fantasy said Douglas Herman a Los Angeles based Democratic political consultant who worked on President Obama's campaign this guy is in the final stages of the sixth sense movie Herman said he doesn't know his campaign is dead I wouldn't quote dead but I will say that Elizabeth Warren should have had consultations with Bernie Sanders to help him in his plan of attack and publicly endorse him and campaign for him she hasn't done a damn thing so I'm just wondering you know since she became senator did she take large campaign contributions and or maybe she's a she's a closet feminist that cares too much about putting a woman in the White House than we think I don't understand why Elizabeth Warren procrastinated so long about supporting Bernie Sanders and helping him out I think it would have been a huge asset Bernie said what I said a long time ago because old James O. has a very sharp keen sixth sense or I mean intuition my intuition is uncanny and uncanny and accurate I have hunches that come true and I said a long time ago after the first debate with Hillary that Bernie Sanders his ultra liberal pacifism will be his downfall and him him not proactively going for Hillary's jugular vein is making him lose and his his grassroots revolution needs a totally different fertilizer to bring it back to life not said the call for unity against Trump is going to be so important I don't see how Bernie can keep staying out there and saying he's a viable candidate Democrats sense that they must unite was evident beyond Tuesday's presidential primaries Obama made unusual endorsements in two key contested Senate primaries on Wednesday Florida and Ohio states where party unity in the full will be essential to the Democratic ticket it's a particular concern as turnout in the Democratic primaries has been dwarfed by that on the Republican side and has lagged well behind record-setting numbers in the 2008 nomination race while House Press Secretary Josh Ernest they this vote this week there were no plans for Obama to endorse in the nomination fight though he will cast an absentee ballot in March 15th Illinois primary both Secretary of State Clinton and senator Sanders regardless of the final outcome here have succeeded in motivating a significant portion of the Democratic Party to support their campaign and the unity of the Democratic Party will be critical to our success in the general election Green said that even as progressives begin to consider the prospect of a general election campaign what has been good politics for the nominee in the primary will continue to be good politics in the fall if the net effect of Bernie Sanders staying in is that Hillary Clinton is speaking even more convincingly on the need to haul the Wall Street accountable that only helps her in the general election she can she can flip-flop on all the issues she wants the main thing is that her track record her track record is pro corporate pro Wall Street pro Goldman Sachs yeah and pretty much sounding like a Republican not like not like a progressive are you questioning my integrity yes you see Bernie fold the like a cheap camera when she when she raised her voice and made that statement I would have said yes I am questioning your integrity and here's why and then proceed with the facts but he wants to be a pacifist you know he wants to be like a flower child from the 60s and not go after Hillary in an aggressive manner and Hillary goes after him and aggressively and it's him below the belt and that's that that's that's that I don't know what I'll Bernie runs if he doesn't get the nomination and he runs as an independent that that means he's serious you know and of course I'll vote for now if he doesn't run as an independent I don't know quite how serious his intentions are if people write him in because he could very easily run as an independent Jesse Ventura claims he's gonna jump in but Jesse Ventura he flip-flops he's you know first he's a liberal libertarian then he he's a moderate libertarian what is is you know he's he's not in favor of Sanders socialism and he is in favor he's that he just jumps around too much flip-flops so I don't know where he's coming from you know one has to wonder if we are experiencing a deja vu as our national election unfolds Karl Marx noted that history repeats first as tragedy second as farce the German philosopher and revolutionary socialist was apparently a fortune teller too few probably remember the very early roots of the Deutsch or Peter party what or the German workers part when an impressionable individual became enamored of the party's anti-Semitic nationalistic ideals that individual was Adolf Hitler today we have a Republican candidate feeding on anti-immigrant nationalistic ideals and accepting endorsements from literally anybody to feed an insatiable ego and a Democratic candidate who denounces the evils of Wall Street capitalism promising government will provide free college education great job health insurance here here and full security upon retirement seven bells for all that hey Scandinavia has been doing it for a long time we're too poor we're too poor country we can't do it oh yeah you know what some Republicans say oh we're too we're much more highly populated than any Scandinavian country where we can't be all things are relative yeah there's more rich people to pay taxes exactly it's it's a guy if the country is so big in population wise that you have more money that means money that means more tax money exactly like this distingy greedy fucks don't want to pay there you go yeah it's relative exactly what you said yeah that's correct all we have to do is be born collectively these two candidates provide histories repetition as a farce arts the country is dumbing down oh yeah and participating in a national interactive reality TV program being broadcast worldwide you like that banner of the whole the whole family that was obese the dumbing down of America and it had like real stupid people look at you know it's as if political showmanship were inspiring supporters to mindlessly act like a Reichstag quietly instituting their version of the enabling act of 1933 well they do act like the Reichstag crowd of the Trump supporters politically elections are perennial affairs they have evolved into live theater glib tongues and performance seemingly matter more than appropriate knowledge and ability each election adds to the cacophony of change in America where voters are blind to their own culpability it makes them high for the good old days excuse me sigh for the good old days when all one senses were in alignment and many knew an outhouse when seen and smell that's some heavy-duty readings here I'm very happy you you encountered them from the original Osprey article it is easy to understand why Governor Christie would endorse whomever he perceived as the front runner for the Republican nomination it is in order to keep himself in the national limelight and to further his personal ambitions people are saying that he has endorsed Donald Trump in return for Trump's selecting him as a running mate if this is so it is difficult to fathom why Trump who boasts of being a brilliant businessman would select for his running mate the seriously flawed governor of New Jersey in previous statements Trump has criticized Christie's dismal record and even said he believed that Christie was probably more involved in the George Washington Bridge scandal than he claimed why would Trump choose anyone at this early stage particularly a candidate who was soundly rejected in the early primaries and who is poorly supported in his home state oh he is poorly supported they reelected him now now you couldn't be couldn't be poorly supported when Barbara Bono ran against them oh no no no no Barbara Sonobono it is obvious that Christie is piggybacking his way on to the national stage gonna break down Trump's back he's piggybacking and perhaps even planning away through a black backdoor into a future presidential run hopefully he'll be a lot thinner than in any case one thing is certain Christie no longer has New Jersey's interest in the forefront even though he claimed to in his speech here in New Jersey the budget the budget speech on the budget yes he you know he's he's
