 Okay, we are back. Another week has flown by. Quickly, I always say that every week. But Happy Festivus for the rest of us. Happy Winter Solstice Yule because we ain't no fool. Inhale, Krampus. This is our special holiday show for this season. Welcome to Progressive Discussions. I'm your host, James P. Madonna of Megalife21. The heart is sitting internet talk radio station on the planet and I am here at the Newsletter Censored Research Center in northeastern New Jersey with my illustrious co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletter Censored in 1977. It's newslettercensored.com. The one and only the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman. How are you feeling this week, sir? So what do we got about a week to go before Festivus? Yeah, oh boy, because Christ was never in Christmas unless you didn't already know that. He was never, he was not born in December so when he didn't tell people. They feel that they can change things. They change the Sabbath to the first day of the week instead of the last one that God gave them. They feel they can do anything with this religion and still have it okayed by the man upstairs. Well, the right wing feels that they can rewrite the Bible itself. Make it more conservative friendly. In other words, more profit friendly. Well, yeah. More greed friendly. Isn't it funny that- Because that's how they live. Isn't it funny that they call all kinds of help for the needy and the poor and etc., socialism or something. But tithing they don't. They don't call tithing socialism or communism. You mean like to a very wealthy mega church TV evangelist like Joel Osteen? Exactly. Yeah. And did you come across that article? I post about collectively how much money these mega church TV evangelists are raking in and attacks free. Gee, at home I wonder how much they donate to help the poor. Nothing. So how could they be real Christians? It's all a scam. How could they be real pastors? How could they be real Christians? They're not. That's my point I just made before. They're not. But they feel they can do anything they want and claim that they are. Simply because they can. They get away with it. Yeah, because they don't have people to call them out, do they? When generally electric doesn't pay any federal income taxes for years, they do it because they can. Who do you blame? Do you blame GE or do you blame the powers that be that are allowing GE to get away with it? If a person, if a homeowner, well I shouldn't say an owner because you really don't own your house. Yeah, you never own your house. You never really own your house and property these days. If a home dweller has a big fancy dog house in the backyard and he or she rents it out for $700 a month, who do you blame? You blame the landlord or the sucker that pays the $700 a month. I blame the sucker. No, that's on top of the dog house. Roof. Roof. Oh man, gotta love it. But anyway... That's what the dog said when he dragged his ass on the floor. Roof. Actually Ralph is, I got that from the honeymoon, is Ralph, Norton said it. Ralph is the best name for a dog because not only can you call the dog, but other dogs can call it too. Roof. Roof. Roof. Roof. Roof. Roof. Seven bells for Ed Norton. Hey, I found a nice, reasonably priced, wonderfully tasting Irish whiskey last night. My patty's, capital P, capital P-A-D-D. Irish whiskey. It's tripled the still just like the expensive Jameson and it tastes the same. It was the lowest price of all the Irish whiskeys. And well, you gotta Irish up your coffee or your whatever or your tea when you are a living with very difficult relatives. Stress you out, man. You gotta Irish up that coffee. But speaking of Irish, here's my official Yule log. Blackthorn chaleli. Weapons grade from Ireland. There's the shamrock of authenticity. This is my Yule log. Mr. Brian Von Nostrand. Speaking of Yule log, I salute you. And to my near-dear friend in Osaka, Japan, Miho. Hello, Miho. Happy holidays. And to all my Facebook group administrators, particularly Mr. Sasha Boyle, and Mick Avonraven, Anthony Laura, Jean-Luc O'Don. Jean-Luc? Takes me a while for... Make a list! To remember all of them. I think I covered the heavy hitters because we lost some because they were not... They were not dedicated to the group that they were an administrator of. You know, they were not proactive. They were not vigilant. So they had to go. They had to go, man. They had to go. What can I say? What can you say? Oh! Well, that's it. Now anyway, that's all I can remember right now. Forgive me if I forget someone. Well, let's see. Without getting too angry, I would like to bash this woman, this blonde, who was in a spotlight as of late, that always looks like she's salivating or drooling. Her mouth is always hanging open. She's really not attractive at all. Deborah Wasserman Schultz and... Who's the other Wasserman? Is that her husband? There's two of them. There's a guy with the last name for Wasserman. Not the nine holes. Yeah, well, there's three of them. And the Democratic, the DMC. She's the head of the Democratic Party right now. The DMC. Just like Mr. Rank's prepos is the head of the Republican Party. She's the head of the Democratic Party. That's correct. She, well, they try to sabotage Bernie Sanders. And Bernie Sanders, of course, threatened with a federal lawsuit, has something to do with supposedly stealing information from Hillary Clinton's database. And it has something like that. Yeah, I'm not sure of it, you know, exactly what's going on here. The only thing you can confiscate from Hillary Clinton is dirt, is negative information on Hillary Clinton. Something positive that can be had by Hillary, from Hillary Clinton's database. I'm telling you right now, she's a corporatist. She's not progressive. The billaries, okay, as they're called often, are corporatists. They've always have been. I noticed that Clinton ain't in the spotlight lately. Mr. Billy Boyd. Haven't heard anything about him. Oh, yeah, that's right. Usually when Obama was running, you heard from him all the time. He's out there on a stump, you know? Yeah. Moving around. Yeah, you heard his speeches and endorsements and campaign comments all the time. But for his wifey, we haven't heard from him. Very interesting observation. You know, as opposed to what the average person, I hear church bells. With the average person. Cook's country. On on the monitors in the other room. Oh, okay. And all the computers over there. Well, it's awfully loud. But anyway, yeah, I mean, I knew it was going to happen. Who knows? Maybe the top 1% is behind this potential sabotage. Maybe the Koch brothers are behind it. All I know is the Democratic Party is in the chiseless hall of shame. The Democratic Party has proven with this recent news from the ugly Deborah Wasserman Schultz, and it looks like she's ready to drool when her mouth hanging open. The Democratic Party has proven to be nothing but the opposite side of the same corporate whore coin. The opposite side of the coin. And Bernie Sanders had to run as a Democrat. He really didn't have any choice. Otherwise, he just wouldn't be in the media. He wouldn't be in the debates. Because guess what? The independents are not invited any longer to the debates. And he had to do it. But I hope he stops being a gentleman with Hillary Clinton and goes right for her jugular vein. Because I would have ripped into word both her jugular veins from day one. I don't give special treatment to any lobbying group, and especially the feminists, and especially the fact that Hillary Clinton is a woman. I will not handle her with kid gloves because politics, in politics, you could be the nicest person in the world. But if you don't learn how to hit hard below the belt, hit low and hit hard, you won't make it. You have to. You have to tear into that jugular vein. And I hope, oh, you said tonight there's a Democratic debate. Well, I hope Bernie Sanders has learned his lesson about being too nice. Anyway. Probably not. Bernie is policy oriented. Yeah, but he's being fucked in the ass. Maybe this is one of the faults of being an ultra-liberal, pacifist, a pandering, a Pollyanna. No, it's one of the faults. No, you get fucked up the ass when your ultra-liberals do not want... They're so obsessed with being liked by everyone. They're so obsessed with not offending anyone. You could tell I'm not one of them, but... No. Yes. The reason is... Spine, man. Grow a spine. Grow a spine. The reason is people... This is what they vote on. They don't vote on policies. If people voted on policies, you wouldn't have these dumb, ignorant, stupid, poor bastards down south constantly voting for Republicans. Yeah, and I over-emphasize the word poor bastard. It's poor. Yeah. They know nothing about policies or who puts the goddamn good policies for them into effect. Is that why people get all excited into almost having an orgasm when Donald Trump says all these emotional things behind the podium? Yeah, because it goes to their base crap olden. That's what they look for. Stimulates. That's what they vote for. They don't vote on policies, as I'm saying. They vote on hate for Muslims or blacks or, hey, those abortion. So baby killers, secular humanists. Meanwhile, religion and the when life officially begins has no scientific proven foundation. They believe in what they believe. It's a cult. You might as well call it a cult. But that's what gets the voters to the voting. So what you're saying is that regardless of what's going on inside of Bernie Sanders' head, he has to keep his composure tonight? No, he doesn't. He can do anything he wants. But I'm saying Bernie for over 30 years is a policy man. He's not interested in bashing somebody's personality or does that any other thing? Well, this thing with the DMC, with Debbie Watson. We don't know what it is exactly. This is like, this is unfounded sabotage. If it's unfounded, I don't know. He fired one guy and I think three other staffers went bye-bye. Well, I hope Bernie fired that guy that let those phony black lives matter barge up on stage. The Sarah Palin saboteurs. He didn't have any of his people there at that time. Well, some dude looked like him. Well, an event was held by somebody else. Some feeble looking, feminine, gentle looking white man, skinny too, scrawny, was running that event in Seattle and kind of allowed those two young ladies to come up and sabotage. Unexpectedly. Unexpectedly and didn't call security. Security. Maybe they didn't even have any. Because they want a big fucking flower child loving. They want that. They don't want anybody roughed up or anything. Sometimes in life you've got to break some aches to make an omelet. I hate to tell you. You've got to hip load a belt when you have to. You know? You're going to hit that little belt now. A knee to the kool-yoons, a knee to the gonads when it's needed. When it's apple-lickable. Speaking of that. Apple-lickable. Speaking of gonads. I was watching William Shatner's biography the other night. You like Mr. Anonymous Claus? And he went to see Coco the gorilla. Oh, Coco. Yeah, it's cool. Sort of Robin Williams. Anyway, to make Coco, you know, like him, he would say, I love you, Coco. I love you, Coco. As he moved closer to her. As he moved closer to her, he said, I love you, Coco. And she grabbed him by the balls. Holy shit. That's not good. A gorilla grabbing you by the balls. Oh, Coco's female? Yes. And she learned sign language. She can speak. Oh, I thought Coco was a male. Maybe a male wouldn't tolerate. Maybe a male would have just knocked him. Maybe he wouldn't have grabbed him by the balls. No, maybe he would have knocked his ass out. Well, that's what he was afraid of with her because she's a big gorilla, you know? So Coco grabbed him by the balls. She wanted a mate with William Shatner. Well, he was saying, I love you. She wanted Captain Kirk. No, Coco, I'm sure understands. She understands a lot of sign language. She can speak in sign language. During one of the segments of the William Shatner biography, they showed him fighting the gorn. People like that. But I do too, you know? And the gorn was slow, you know? Yeah, like that. And then Shatner would hit him on the back with double fists, you know? Shall be merciful. Yeah, he was very slow. The gorn, yeah. I'm sure people tease him about that. He did a little comedy thing, a photo. He did a comedy thing with the gorn. I just never seen it. It was on Saturday Night Live, I believe. With the gorn? Yeah. Or he's trying to have a conversation with the gorn? I remember also that Shatner and Nichols was the first interracial kiss on TV. The first? The first. Yikes. That must have raised some hairs. It did. It raised some hackles. Back then, you know? Yeah. I guess Gene Rottenberry felt that we got to get our ratings up. Let's go for it. No, maybe it was. Yeah, it was still on. Nothing would have brought the ratings up. I mean, the show was just... Slow budget, right? Three years, that was it. They gave him three years and that's when... Isn't it amazing that all those episodes you see in reruns and syndication that you see was only three years of the Star Trek? You know, but that wasn't... Star Trek wasn't the only show that was short-lived and became legendary. There were others that were short-lived and became legendary, you know? It's amazing. I still... Still... There's nobody like Rod Serling, Twilight Zone. There's nobody like him. No, the mind of Rod Serling. Yeah. The mind. Yep, yep, yep, yep. Nobody like him. I don't care what legendary short-lived stuff. That was a short-lived stuff. Yeah, but look at all the episodes and look at the deep messages and lessons to be learned in those episodes. Star Trek, too. That's what some people couldn't get. Just like people don't get important things now. They're all numbskulls out there. A lot of people do not understand nuance. They don't understand sarcasm. They don't understand a lot. Now, Vladimir Putin seems to like Donald Trump. Brilliant man, he's a brilliant man. Well, I think he... he likes his hard-nosed, hard-ass approach to running the country, you know, you know, getting tough. He probably admires that. It's not a very hard-ass thing for running the country if you get your stuff wrong and you're against the Constitution. That's not good. You better, you know, brush up on your homework. You mean, you mean, you know, randomly just taking away people's rights left and right and bucking the Constitution and because you say so, well, you know, it's called a dictator. That's a dictator. Like in other words, not allowing any Muslims into the United States. Not allowing any Muslims into the United States. If you choose to stop Muslims from coming in, that's religion. That's a religion. You know, stopping these people because of their religion. Right. It does not reflect the person. In other words, you're assuming that all Muslims are are wicked, wicked terrorists, they're up to no good. Hey, they did it with the Japanese-Americans during World War II. That was very wrong. They took them out of their homes and their businesses. Yeah. They put them in the... Well, they had a different name for it. I called it a concentration camp. They called it a... What is it? Deferment? Deferment? Interment. Interment camp? Interment camp. I wonder what they'll call hours when they come for us. Oh, the FEMA's? Yes. Yes, the FEMA's. You know, you know what the woman from the government told Jesse Ventura about the barbed wire? She says, oh, that's to protect the American citizens inside the FEMA camp. For the people trying to get in. So Jesse says, protect them from what? Not to keep them in, but to protect them from somebody outside coming in to hurt the... Bahoo! Of course she had no answer. Of course. And then there was like stacks and stacks of plastic, low-budget caskets that were quickly removed from the premises by the government right after that episode. And that was the first episode that was pulled off True TV. That was a guy? True TV. Why aren't you playing the reruns of the canceled conspiracy theory with Jesse Ventura? Why aren't you playing it like late at night on a weekend or something? Good question, True TV. There was a guy last night on Facebook who showed that steel does indeed bend from jet fuel. Did you see that? Because the conspiracy theories against 911 say that the steel melts at one... What about... Temperature and jet fuel burns at another. Did you see that article I posted about the tallest building I believe in Chechnya? That was burning for a long time. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Many hours. Many, many hours and never collapsed. That was a 911 article showing an example of, you know, that building didn't collapse. But that wasn't jet fuel. What? That was not jet fuel. So what you're saying is... No, it's not what I'm saying. It's what's this Jumbolone saying. Isn't jet fuel kerosene? Yes. They just call it jet fuel so they can charge a higher price, I bet. You know, that's how capitalism works. You know, you give it a different name like, you know, clay pots. There used to be clay pots, a diamond dozen. Now, now all of a sudden, if you have the mold a little bit fancier, you call it terracotta. If you call it terracotta, the price is much higher because you're using this Italian, this Latin name, terracotta. It's all bullshit. It's all snake oil. And Republicans love this kind of system. It's mud. It's mud. In other words, lying is allowed. It's allowed in business. In advertising, yes, absolutely. It's allowed in advertisement, especially the sleazy American retail industry. It's allowed in politics. Anything that has to do with the right wing. Lying is permitted because ill-gotten gains are permitted and stealing is permitted and corruption is permitted. It's profit before people in the planet with conservative right wing individuals. It's a sleazy... That's why Dr. Bill calls it the devil's economics. Yes. It's simple. It's all simple. It's capitalism in a conch shell, man. Anyway, let us sink our teeth into these readings. Let me see how long we've banded for. We were very long... Nah, we weren't that long-winded. Not too bad. Lucky seven bells for the beginning of our readings. I was never a Christie Whitman supporter. Oh, she was like... She had this prune face... She had this way of talking like there was a poll of her ass. Well, she's back in the news. She has... They used to make fun of her and call her Christie... Whitlass. Whitlass or Titlass. But... Wow. What a breath of fresh air to hear a Republican call out the party and its presidential candidates for hateful rhetoric. Yeah. Well, you got Pataki. The guy that talks crooked with a crooked mouth. George Pataki. Hey, I'm a little Pataki. But they did that. Yeah, former governor of New York. An unwillingness to compromise and selfishly try to undermine the Obamacare instead of working to make it better. It underscores the point that when pundits ask which party is primarily to blame for Capitol Hill gridlock and harmful vitriol, it would be instructed to ask which party has changed...
