 James P. Madonna and the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman. Okay, we are here. We are here. It is officially autumn of, Lisa, I think it is autumn of 2015. The door is open after a long period of absence. All natural is back, baby. Baby back ribs. Oh, don't get me hungry now, man. Don't get me hungry. Just ate a banana. No, but baby back ribs, man. You mean low and slow? Smoked for 10, 14 hours? I guarantee. Something like that. Something like that. Okay, it happens to be Saturday afternoon. It is, what do you think? Almost the end of September? Well, of course it ends this week. It ends on Wednesday. Oh, it does. Wednesday. Is it Wednesday or Wednesday? Wednesday. Wednesday. Wednesday. Okay. Formalities. Welcome, everyone, to progressive discussions. Progressive discussions is what you're watching. I think I said that. I'm your host, James P. Madonna of MegaLife 21. The hardest-hitting Internet Talk radio station on the planet. Some of the things I used to say in the past, like our location and where we're broadcasting from, I don't have to say them anymore because they are in the intro now. So you could read it. So I don't have to say it. Anyway, we're here and I would like to introduce my illustrious co-host and mentor and the very founder of Newsletter Sensor in 1977, the one and only, the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman. How are you feeling this week? Sir, he's here. He is here. I would like to say greetings to my near-dear friend in Osaka, Japan, miho. Hello, miho. I'm not going to say greetings to anybody else because lately all of my fine-feathered friends and administrators or acquaintances and everything collectively, they don't acknowledge the fact that I was sending them greetings every week. Well, because they're not watching a stinking show. Because they're not watching a stinking show and that goes for the members of our political group. They don't watch the stinking show. You know where I get more, I get more feedback, a lot more feedback. And response? Not from the group, but from our Facebook page called Progressive Discussions. That's where people acknowledge us. I see a bunch of bubbles all the time when I'm out there. The fucking group, they make their comments, they make their posts. But when I post the show on the group, nobody says nothing. They don't even click like. Hey, I got a ditch right in the middle of my forehead, members. You know what this means, don't you? Yeah, I'm up there all the time and I see so-and-so likes your ad-progressive discussions. So-and-so likes your comment at the hard-hitting truth. No, it shows you how many numbers of people actually viewed what you posted. But these bubbles come up. The bubbles come up. Yeah. Tiny bubbles in the wine with a Don Ho, right? If I put something, a comment up there and then James Madonna is going to say, oh, he likes the comment that's such and such, you know, the bubbles. Well, yeah, a lot of people do that. Yeah, I mean, I mean, YouTube and the Facebook page and Twitter, by the way, get a lot of response. The fucking group. And if I put it on my profile, nothing. Never put anything on your profile. Oh, fuck yourself. Oh, you know what, the most, I would say 99.99999% of the people are my friends list. They are, they only, they either talk about the same thing every day and every night. No, really boring, not well-rounded people. Or they talk small talk, small talk, you know, real boring shit. I like a deep, intellectual, well-rounded person, not rounded like Chris Christie. Oh, those are the levity bows. No, not rounded like that. But any rollie-poly, man. You know, there's a, there's a, there's an isopod that lives in the ground called a rollie-poly, because they, they roll into a ball when they're threatened. But anyway, oh, that's the, that looks like a porcupine or something. They call them pill bugs. No, they're, they're, something smaller? No, they're, they're an isopod. It's a crustacean. It's a pill box. That sounds like Chris Christie, a subterranean crustacean. The mole man. The mole man in the mole man. That's where Republicans belong. They belong underground, deep, way down deep. Yeah, six feet down. No, more than that. Everything we discuss politically is part of our series called capitalism in a conch shell, and there's the conch. Capitalism in a conch shell, where I get words of wisdom from. I'm sorry if we're being humorous and not hard-hitting. We don't want, we don't want people to criticize us for- I do. I love criticism. For being- Always remember. For not being hard-hitting. You get more truth from your enemies than your friends. So be thankful for your enemies. What if, what if they say stupid things like- Well, that's another matter. Trying to find value in being a Republican. Well, that's another matter. And putting down somebody who really has compassion and empathy and who cares like a good progressive, you know, like- A bleeding heart, liberal. Yeah, because you care. You're, yeah, you're a bleeding heart. Yes, you're a bleeding heart, liberal. Anyway, everything you've heard, you Drobronis, about trickle down economics from a conservative propaganda lies. It's all a lie. It's a fantasy. It never was. It never will be- It might trickle down into Cayman Islands. Yeah, you know, or Swiss bank accounts that say, offshore, yeah, a mailbox. But it's not gonna, it doesn't trickle down in the U.S. That's right. It siphons up to the fat cats, the one percent. That's the siphon. All right, we're done with the siphon. We're done with the conch. Now, to my little spiel that I do monologue, whatever you want to call it. Okay, we'll start off with a little chiseler's hole of shame. And I want to do some American retail industry bashing as well that they deserve, rightfully so. All right, here are some of the little scams, the little legal scams that retail polls. I'm sure there are more, especially when they think of new ones. There definitely will be more. A high flat rate shipping and handling, which is much higher than the United States Postal Service Charges. Scan number one. Scan number two. How many days is that thing? About the same amount of time that FedEx, UPS, or the Post Office. Yeah, there's no, it doesn't come quicker. Who's charging that? FedEx, UPS or what? No, this is the company selling the product. Oh, I'll forget about that crap. Yeah, well, that's why it's crap. All right, if something's wrong with your product, then you send it back. There is a restocking fee. Does that poor guy who stalks the shelf get paid that fee? Hey, the pizza delivery man doesn't get one penny of a delivery charge at pizzeries. Slap on the consumer. He doesn't get one penny. He told me he has to pay for his own gas, by the way, to deliver the pizzas. That's like the restaurant industry giving waiters and waitresses, what is it, $2.15 an hour? Because they know they get tips. And shizzling on their tips. And go-go dances, exotic dances, they don't get paid per set anymore. They have to pay the owner to work there. And they have to tip the DJ to play their music. Because why? Because they get gratuities. So the owner, the business owner is using this against them, which are the employees. Do you see how chiseling businesses in the United States? All right, let me continue. Retail, bashing. Retail industry, jacking up their, I'm sorry, excuse me, jacking up their version of the retail price during sales periods. So you don't- 30% off. So you don't really get the 30% off. Yeah, off what? Off what? Off a higher price. So is it 30%? Maybe it's 10%, maybe it's nothing. Oh, here's an infuriating fact that happened to me personally when I received it during as a Christmas gift. Retail stores, gift cards with an expiration date. Expiration date, how can a gift expire? If your sister-in-law or brother bought, gives you a pace for a gift card and gives it to you. It's supposed to be worth that monetary value, no matter what. Now, when it expires, guess what? The retail company steals, yes, it steals the value that the gift card was paid for. Scam, another legal scam. Well, first of all, I could not be any prouder of Pope Francis in all of his speeches. He did not hold back anything and he did not care who likes him, who gets angry, who he offends. I think he intended on saying what he said to you know who, to the forces of evil, the greedy corrupt corporatists, the capitalist system of the United States. So salute, God bless you. Pope Francis, the first pope I ever liked, the first truly progressive pope that in existence, I think, the Polish pope, he just did a lot of smiling. He wasn't a rabble rouser, you know, like this guy, this guy's a tough cookie. And he's funny too. I posted the video of him telling jokes in the Vatican. They're cute. They're mother-in-law jokes. You got to watch it. He's a funny guy though. Take my mother-in-law, please. And he's very funny. He's very smart. He has a master's degree in chemistry. Yeah. Tell Santorum that. Santorum says, and uh, and uh, why don't he listen to the scientists? Oh yeah, other Republicans. I am a scientist. I got a master's in chemistry, a boob. Yeah, the other, there are all the Republicans feel he should stay out of, out of climate change because he, leave it to the scientists. But guess what? Republicans don't listen to scientists either. They don't listen to the EPA. So they're so concerned with science when Pope Francis talks about climate change. Now they care about science. Otherwise the EPA, nah, don't listen to scientists. All right. Well, the New York City retail scumbags were selling commemorative Pope Francis souvenir rosary beads for like $175. You are officially, in the chiseless hall of shame, give me a break. Shame on you. American capitalism strikes again in every which way possible. I wonder how much they wonder for the bobblehead. Oh, there's a Francis bobblehead? Yeah. I wonder where the rosary beads are made. You think maybe in the third world country? Possibly. Talk about sleaze, man. I'm telling you, American business is the sleaziest scheme anyone ever came up with. Na, na, na, na. Na, na, na, na. Hey, hey, hey. Bye, bye, boner. The crybaby weeper of the house. Bye, bye, boner. But you know something, John Boehner? He might, being that he was actually fired for not being conservative and right-wing enough, maybe he'll be so pissed that he'll start exposing things about his party. He'll protect his, he'll protect his movie to get a better job so he will not be doing things. You mean in the private sector? That's correct. In other words, they don't... Like Mr. Eric Cantor when he was canned? Yeah. When right over to the bank, baby. When Cantor was canned. Is this why Barack Obama is holding back? That's why they all hold back. Because Barack Obama is holding back. If he wanted, if he wanted to, because of all the racism he had to put up with, he could rat every one of those motherfuckers out. But he's not doing it. For what? For, because of scolota? Because of the system. The big mamoo. So what, what system? And when you're, when somebody attacks you for eight years relentlessly, you get even, my friend. That's James Madonna thinking. Hey, corporates do not do that. That would cut off their nose despite their face. So Barack Obama is thinking of his kids future and his, his retirement, how comfortable his retirement's going to be. That's correct. So in other words... That's what they all do. He's uh, you see this is the problem. See, there are so many people out there that are so pro-democrat that they forget it's not the Democratic Party of FDR and JFK anymore. And, and uh, of course they're the feminists that only care about putting a woman in a White House. Well, that's all they care about. Uh, I would be, I would be happy to see Vice President Elizabeth Warren. I think she's a pretty cool, cool cat, man. I think, I think she, she's, she's much better and more honest than Hillary. And did you ever see that video of when Hillary wanted to meet with her and learn about bankruptcy law? Because she taught in Harvard. Elizabeth Warren is a college professor. And after she gave her all to it, Hillary didn't do it in the first place. No, she flip-flopped. She flip-flopped. She, she went wherever the money trail was, right? There you go. The big mamoo, the big mamoo. All right, and last but not least, Kim Davis's, Kim Davis's new crying video, the big four-headed redneck, red state, evangelical, imbred, bigamist, uh, uh, uh, fornicating real, she's actually a follower of Satan because she's not a follower of the God of the Bible. But she's crying. She's, she's crying on her new video. God don't love me. What is wrong? God don't listen to me. Love me. Where's the evangelical serpent in honor of Kim Davis? We haven't heard much about that, that other insane lunatic, uh, Mike Huckabee, but which is good. Taking up serpents in honor of all the right wing counterfeit Christian evangelicals and the born again idiots. I'm taking up serpents, taking up serpents. Mike Huckabee. Huckabee. All right, being that we're talking about Kim Davis and Huckabee and counterfeit Christians, let me wear the evangelical serpent because this is pretty much what they're worshiping because they don't, they, man, don't get so close to my neck, my throat, man. They don't, they don't know anything about the God of the Bible. That's for the God of the Bible. So she's crying. They don't love me. God don't love me. Let me tell you something. When, when do you think God has cut himself off from the general population of the earth? What, what, what period do you think? When he kicked them out of these garden of Eden. That long ago? That's correct. Really? That's correct. So all these people, so when Tim Tebow used to pray in the middle of the football field that he, his team would win, nobody was, nobody was listening to him. No, but was that what he was praying? I have no idea what he was praying for. Well, well, because he's an, he's an evangelical. He's like, he's one of those, because if he was praying for that, he was a, he's a self-centered bastard. God wouldn't even hear that kind of prayer. Oh, if I was God, I'd say, you have some nerve asking me to make your team win when there's all these other teams. And first of all, why, why do you think God would care about professional sports? Because he doesn't. He doesn't even care about political parties. He's got the universe to tend to. Well, first of all, he's not going to care about a free enterprise system business that's there to make a profit. He's got his own economics. And it's not about, it's not about hoarding money either, making and hoarding money. The world tomorrow is not about what people know today. No. You know. No. Well, the lion will eat straw like the ox. The, what about his teeth, his canines? I don't know about his teeth, but he will not be a predator. All right. Well, like in the Garden of Eden, they weren't, they weren't predators. Correct. Now, the only time money is actually useful and important is when you don't have any. No, no, I'm talking about like necessities that make, that are supposed to make you content with contentment, enough food, a roof over your head, you know, shelter, clothing, maintaining good health, eating stuff like that. Yeah. Like a secure place to live that you can call home, you know, and anything beyond that, wanting to buy a BMW or a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or a Mercedes or a Cadillac or a Fiat like the Pope. He had a small Fiat. Yeah. Well, these are humble cars. These are cars. No, no, no. Fiat has a good price tag on it. I thought it, I thought it was always a cheap car. No, no, no. It ain't no Hugo. Hey, is it true that China is building the new high speed train in the United States? So American workers don't have the capability. Out of the job. Out of the job. They don't have the capability of building a high speed rail system. Oh, no. No? High speed rail system? No. So they got to outsource that. Americans have to go to school for many, many years to acquire the skills to be able to stock shelves in Walmart. Okay. I mean the whole world, well, not the third world or the fifth world or the fourth world, but most of the civilized world already has the high speed rail system with the modern trains, you know, and they, and I believe they, they hover a little bit off the track by by using electromagnetic energy. They hover like a monorail, like the futuristic monorail. United States, they still have the dinosaur. I don't think any, do people still take Amtrak? Yes, they do. That's socialism too, you know. Why? Because the government gives money to Amtrak. But it wasn't socialism in the beginning with the railroads when the government gave them land and everything else. But that wasn't socialism. That was capitalism. Well, Nikolai Tesla. I don't think the railroads got that land. Freebies! The Nikola Tesla would be called a socialist too by Republicans, but he had a more efficient system than Thomas Edison. And a free one. And, yeah, and free. And that's why you, and that's why the post letter yesterday says that's why Edison was in your history books, but not Nikola. And guess where the money came to pay for those lies in your school history books? Taxpayers' money. Oh, yeah. You know, I like that banner particularly of all the wasted, all the weapons that were wasted, military spending, the planes, that if you took the course of all that military waste, you would, you could eradicate poverty in the United States. Could have been done many, several times in America. Well, when politicians bitch and moan about saving tax dollars and cutting spending, they should really start with their own salaries. And if you're making, even if you're a blood-sucking parasite making the $175,000 a year, $175,000 a year can easily pay for your own health insurance. I mean, I know somebody that has a moderate health insurance policy, you know, a business owner, family-owned business, pays $500 a month, a moderately okay, good health insurance. Now, if you're making $175,000, you've got Cadillac insurance. You could, you could pay for your own health insurance and your own retirement. But we shouldn't have to. But they're, because they're not public servants, they're blood suckers. There's 10 other nations in this world who don't pay for their medical. It's free. Oh, yes, Scandinavian countries, the Norway and Sweden, they can do it, but the richest country in the world can't do it. Yeah. And then you have Stephen Colbert making fun of Scandinavians saying, oh, we're gonna, does this mean we're all gonna be eating pickled fish? You know what? I like pickled fish, Stephen Colbert. I like pickled herring and creamed herring. You know what? Don't make fun of a system that is ideal, the hybrid system of a democratic socialism, the hybrid of the best of the best. Remember where socialism came from, it came from people dreaming of utopia. You told me that Wednesday. That's true. Utopia. Yeah. Okay. Okay, now you heard that utopia. Utopia. That's a nice word, you know. Not a bad system, utopia. The hippies used to talk about a utopia, right? Back in the 60s. Yeah, but who the hell was gonna bring it about? They weren't because they were busy smoking marijuana and sitting in the corner. LSD, tripping on the LSD, man. Well, that's where they saw the utopia when they were doing the drugs. Yeah, but somebody else is doing the work then. What was Grace Lyck talking about when she sang Chasing Rabbits? What was that about? Allison Wonderland. Down the rabbit hole. You never read Allison Wonderland? No, but it had to be, there had to be a deep message in there, when Grace Lyck sang it. Well, when she said the little pills, the little pink pills, of course, you know what she was talking about. Well, because she was, she was, she wanted to please all the people at Woodstock at that time. But, you know, Allison Wonderland was kind of surrealistic. Yeah. See, that's what bothered me. Wop off their heads! Wop off their heads! That's what bothered me about the Occupy Wall Street movement is that a lot of college kids were camping out there with tents and just a, just a, just an excuse to hang out and camp out and have fun. They, they didn't have any, they weren't, they didn't realize the seriousness of the Occupy movement. Well, it was very serious because all the cops have all the documents on them now and they can shut them up. Like you, you'll read in the new newsletter about Edwin Meese when Reagan was in office how he did things in California with Reagan and stuff. They used to take pictures of the demonstrators, take pictures of their license plates and they used to neutralize them. How do you, how do you neutralize people that hate your guts and are pissed off? You start serving warrants on them or you start saying, you know, you get out there, you're going to be in jail. Now, the Pope, you camp them down. Now, the only person in Congress technically that the Pope Francis shook hands with was John Kerry, right? John Kerry? Is that his name? Secretary of State. Yeah, John, John Kerry. John Kerry. Kerry. Kerry is not worth the Pope shaking hands with because John Kerry wanted to arrest Edward Snowden, the hero that did his job. Oh, real progressive Democrat there, huh? Oh, yeah. Anyway, it is time for us to sink our teeth into these readings and I will put away because he's making my neck hot, the evangelical serpent, the wicked serpent, taking up serpents. I'll just put them away. Away with you. Away with you. Oh, beast. Yeah. Oh, man, must be ragweed in here, huh? Ah, yes, it is ragweed season. Marquette University. Yeah. In Milwaukee. And Fordham University in New York. Fordham, Fordham, Fordham. Announced Thursday, they are rescinding honorary degrees awarded to Kami Cosby. Oh, that guy? He doesn't deserve an honorary degree. We deserve honorary degrees, not him. Before allegations arose that he was a serial or rapist who drugged his victim. I thought that meant he used to put his dick inside of a box of cocoa puffs. Speaking of that, like a serial killer, right? Sledgehammer to a box of fruit loops. Speaking of that, did you see that love doll last night? Yeah, I did. I made a comment that its vagina was a little large when they spread the leads. When it opened up? Yeah, they need to make it smaller. Yeah, the Japan, the Asians make a very soft, real feel, sort of lifelike love doll, which has a high price tag. And I think eventually the sex companion concubine androids will have that real look to them. I'm sure they will. I'm sure. I know you could program it to say, oh, you're so wonderful. You're the most handsome person in the universe. Oh, darling. Oh, you know, just all the hallmark bullshit. Just program it into the female androids memory bank to give you constant praise. It's the first time the two Jesuit schools have taken back an honorary degree. Cosby was honored at Marquette in 2013 and at Fordham in 12,001. Fordham is in the Bronx, isn't it? It's in New York. Why? They're kissing up to him because he's black. That's the original reason. Well, they gave him to him, I guess. Yeah, because he's a black man who's successful in America, who's rich. That was before all this... Before the sard sordid allegation. Right. Well, I mean, a lot of people were not happy that he bought out the little rascals and took it off the air. From dozens of women began publicly piling up against him. A lot of women. Cosby admitted in a court deposition to getting prescription quailudes to give women. Mickey's. He wanted to have sex with them. So he got a rich guy like him had to give them a Mickey. According to documents from a civil lawsuit obtained in July by several news organization. So he, Bill Cosby offered these women his fat Albert. He said that he understood women who were a little reluctant to indulge and he could read them very well. Can't a rich guy like that find enough gold diggers that would jump in bed with him? He had a drug them? He had to have a woman that was not respond. Like a necrofuse. Like a corpse. Like a corpse. Like one of those love dolls from Japan just lie there. You know. Well, like you said the problem with the masturbation tools for men is a man has to have a full erection in order to partake in them. Where a woman doesn't matter with the woman's toys. You know, it doesn't matter if she's aroused because she'll get aroused quickly. Donald Trump. He's just squinting her eyes out. Yeah. I'm sorry. Donald Trump. Donald Trump. What can you say? What can you say about him? He's one of a kind. His boycotting a Fox News channel. But the two sides may be moving toward a truth. A Fox News channel representative said Thursday that Fox News CEO Roger Ailes would soon meet with the candidate and discuss his issues. What's his vital name, Ginger? With the channel's coverage of his campaign. Ailes and Trump spoke this morning and planned to have a meeting next week to discuss their differences of opinion regarding Fox's coverage of Mr. Trump's presidential campaign. The front runner for the Republican presidential nomination tweeted his intention to boycott Fox programs on Wednesday after a scheduled Thursday appearance on its top rated show, The O'Reilly Factor. Oh God. The O'Reilly Factor. Was canceled by the cable network. Oh, was? No, his appearance. Oh, his appearance was canceled. Thank you. Later in the day, the real estate mogul was upset again when National Review Editor Rich Lowry used a crude term to say Trump had been castrated by GOP rival Carly Fiorena. I don't think so. Fiorena. Fiorena is in no position to criticize any opponent. Tweeting. Fox News owes me an apology for allowing clueless pundit Rich Lowry to use such foul language on TV, unheard of. Foul? Well, Trump uses foul language all the time. I mean, you know, before Ailes agreed to meet with Trump, the network issued a statement saying Trump did not understand the media's role in covering the campaign, adding he doesn't seem to grasp that candidates telling journalists what to ask is not how media works in this country. Oh, really? Carly Fiorena castrating Donald Trump? Ouch. No way. Carly Fiorena. Well, she is a castrator. I mean, she does look at that look. Is a joke. Horse face Fiorena's got so much dirt under her carpet. She's in no position to debate with Donald Trump. She needs a Dyson. Donald Trump. Yes, a Dyson evacuation. Donald Trump will destroy her in any debate. Capitalism in a conch show, brother. Warning. Warning that the Republican presidential race has become too nasty. Good. Good. Their pain is my pleasure. Scott Walker exited the 2016 campaign on Monday. Did the crazies exit yet, like Santorum and Huckabee? Son of a bitches. They, you know, leave it up to zealot religious nuts to hang in there and not quit. Leave it up to them. And he urged others to quit too and clear the field so someone can emerge to take down front runner Donald Trump. Sure. What about horse face Fiorena? Is she in it? Yeah. She's right behind Trump. Right now. Well, her credentials suck. She's right behind Trump. The announcement marked a dramatic fall for Walker who was struggling to generate money and enthusiasm after surging into the race's top tier early in the year. He will return to his job as governor of Wisconsin where his term runs through 2018. Lovely. They did the same thing in Wisconsin that the idiots did here in New Jersey. They reelected a scumbag. You know, and well, you know, people, Republicans and teabaggers come to think of it. They probably would like what Carly Fiorena did when she was running Hewlett Packard. You know, as far as the outsourcing and, you know, the almighty dollar. And selling scanners and etc. to Iran while sanctions were in effect. Yeah, profit first. That's right. Republicans love that. Profit first. Profits over people. Over people, over morality, over their fake, and I repeat, fake family values, like Bernie Sanders has said many times, their family values are fake. Today, I believe that I am being called to lead by helping clear the field in this race so that a positive conservative message can rise to the top, Walker said. I encourage other Republican presidential candidates to consider doing the same so the voters can focus on a limited number of candidates who can offer a positive conservative alternative to the current front runner. One of the last Republicans to enter the race, Walker 47, joined former Texas Governor Rick Perry as one of the first to leave. Scott Walker is 47 years old. That's right. You don't look it. He looks young. He found himself unable to adjust to Trump's popularity or break out in either of the first two GOP debates. Both candidates warned of the billionaire businessman's influence on the GOP as they stepped aside. I have no use for any of them. Trump tweeted in response to Walker's, oh, Trump got booed in South Carolina. He got booed. When he insulted Rubio. He got booed in New York when people were waiting for Pope Francis and Donald Trump showed up by his main office, I guess. He's going to get a lot of booze. I mean, I don't know. I don't know exactly how big his following is right now. Trumpy. About 30% of the Republicans. It's the base. It's the base, man. Well, the, the hate, the, the, the redneck tea bagger hate groups love Donald Trump because, you know, he riles them up. They, they, they love to scapegoat and blame immigrants of color for their problems. Trump tweeted in response to Walker's decision. He's a very nice person and has a great future. Walker was thought to be a leader in the big pack for much of the year and built a massive national organization with paid staff spread across the country. He tried to appeal to religious conservatives, tea party conservatives and the more traditional GOP base, douchebags, casting himself as an unintimidated conservative fighter, fighter, crook. Oh, he fought the unions in Wisconsin. He fought those people out there as was the unions in protest. The unions were not aggressive in militant enough. He said he could fight ISIS because he fought them. He knew how to do it. Oh, he's got secrets. Oh, yeah. He's got secrets. It's pretty hard to fight people that are dressed like civilians, isn't it? They could be anywhere, right? You know, in the Middle East. Casting himself as an unintimidated conservative fighter who had a record of victories in a state that has not voted Republican for president since 1984. Many of Walker's troubles were not of Trump's making. He took days to clarify whether he supported ending birthright citizenship. He initially showed interest in building a wall between the U.S. and Canada only to laugh it off as ridiculous. He also declared he wasn't a career politician despite having held public office for 22 straight years. Wow. It's like monarchies, right? Socialist. Socialist. Government paycheck. Government paycheck on a dole. Oh, when it applies to them, they like it. Oh, yeah. All them freebies. Oh, yeah. Perks, freebies. Oh, yeah. They can collect all them freebies after just one term, right? Oh, yeah. One full term in office. I don't know. They probably can collect them after one month in office. Well, being that they vote, they all vote on their own compensation. Yes. And they don't even have to vote on their raises. It's automatic. Well, they voted to make it automatic. Yes, they did. Oh, gosh. It's so obvious. Isn't it, people? Are you sure, people? I mean, there's a lot of numbskulls out there that don't see the reality of things. They have to protect those billionaires, man. Meanwhile, they don't have a part to piss them. Yeah. They got to protect those billionaires. Oh, sure. As his critics grew louder, Republican White House contender Ben Carson. Ah, the ultimate Uncle Tom. Ultimate. Refused Monday to back off his weekend charge that Muslims shouldn't serve in the presidency. The intensifying political fallout is a distraction, at least as the retired neurosurgeon tries to capitalize on recent momentum in the unruly GOP field. I think Americans better go back in history and remember that Japanese Americans were put in concentration camps during World War II. That's pretty severe, you know? Well, remember, Mr. Ben Carson believes that it was a good thing for the slaves to come over here because they introduced them to Christianity. Oh, he knows about Christianity? Really? Yes, he does. He doesn't know about Constitution, no. He doesn't understand that article in the Constitution which states that no religious test should ever be made for the public office. I don't even think he, you know, I don't think he knows the God of the Bible either. I don't think he knows either of the two. I doubt it very much. Anybody could say things, make claims, you know. Kim Davis believes in heaven for the good people. Yeah. That's nowhere in the Bible. Well, she believes what the born-again evangelical cooks believe in, you know, that they're all going to get, they're all going to avoid the tribulation and they're all going to be raptured up and all this stuff. And they're not going to, they're going to be living in paradise while everybody else is suffering during the tribulation. They believe all the crap they want to believe. But it also highlights a sentiment among voters in both parties who agree with Carson's reluctance to elect a Muslim to the nation's highest office. Carson's campaign reported strong fundraising and more than a hundred thousand new Facebook friends in the 24 hours after he told NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday. I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. So he got a hundred thousand, hundred thousand Facebook friends in his Facebook friends list. No, that's a hundred thousand since he opened his fat mouth. Oh, on top of it? He's already had, yeah. It shows you, it shows you the mentality of modern day Americans, really. It shows you how pathetic Americans really are in more ways than one. His campaign manager Barry Bennett said on Monday while the left wing is huffing and puffing over it, Republican primary voters are with us at least 80, 20. People in Iowa particularly are like, yeah, we're not going to vote for a Muslim. Bennett said, I don't mind the hobos, it's not hurting us. That's for sure. The head of the nation's largest Muslim advocacy group called on Carson to drop out of the 2016 presidential contest during a Capitol Hill press conference on Monday, declaring him unfit to lead because his views are in contradiction with the United States Constitution. Not long ago, some people thought that a Catholic cannot be a president. That's true. And African-American cannot be a president. There were people concerned with John F. Kennedy being a Catholic, you know, and they were worried about that. All the racist Protestants in the United States were all up in arms about Kennedy being a Catholic. They were afraid that he would allow the Vatican to have some power. He would listen to Pope who is the vicar of Christ and therefore is in errands and he would have to obey him. They were afraid of that. And then later on they found out that his Catholicism is secondary or even farther from that, you know, from his duty as president and his priorities where it was not being a Catholic. They were wrong then and they are wrong now. At least one Republican joined a chorus of Democrats condemning Carson's statement. South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham said on Sunday that the comment shows that Dr. Cassin is not ready to be commander-in-chief. Yeah, people in the United States have a problem looking at the person and the content of what they say rather than, you know, focusing on what they look like or their ethnic racial background, religious background, you know. The leading Democratic presidential candidate, Henry Clinton addressed the issue on Monday on Twitter. Can a Muslim be president of the United States of America? In one word, yes. Yeah, what if... Now let's move on. What if they were born and raised in the United States and they're Americanized? And they're 35. It's a big deal. I'll say it. You know, big deal. Their parents are Muslims, so big deal. You know. Well, they see the GOP as difficulty in differentiating between radical Muslims, Islam, and regular Muslims. I mean, Bernie Sanders is Jewish, but you don't see him... He's not Orthodox. You don't see him walking around with a yarmulke, just a pope. But I'm just saying, you know, you... He also wore his, you know, the big point of capstone. Yeah, I mean, your... Mass. Your family was Presbyterian. That doesn't mean you are a staunch Protestant Presbyterian representative. I mean, it could be anybody. Anybody's background does not mean that they are fanatically representing. Well, in America, actually, your backgrounds in religion, they're all foamy anyway. Yeah. You know, 99% of the time. Yes. Yeah. Donald Trump says he has asked God for forgiveness. Oh, he's religious now. Well, he has to be to get that, you know, right-wing conservative base. Now he's a multi-billionaire who has an interest in the Bible. Interesting. Well, the Bible's his favorite book, but he knows no verses from it. No, he just knows the word on the front of a book. His second favorite book is the Art of the Deal. His book, but the first is the Bible. Well... See, you have to say these things. To the GOP. Or they won't like you. Oh, like the GOP. Like the GOP really knows what's inside the Bible. Well, they certainly pretend to. In an interview, Sigmund, released on Monday by the Christian Broadcasting Network. Oh, boy. And who owns that? Wasn't that Harrow Camping? No! Late Harrow Camp? Pat Robertson? Oh, yeah! Another person who really knows what's inside the Bible. The billionaire reversed himself from a statement he made earlier this summer that troubled many Christian conservatives. Troubled them, huh? Do you believe that it's important to ask God for forgiveness? David Brody asked Trump. Well, I do, Trump said. I think it's great. I consider communion to be a very important thing. You know, when I go to church and I take communion, I consider that asking for forgiveness is in my own way. And I do think it's a great thing. And I think it's an important thing, and it makes you feel good. I didn't think... I didn't know Donald Trump was Catholic. This is Donald Trump talking about communion? Or somebody else? Yeah, he's talking about communion. However, the Bible makes it clear that you take communion once a year at Passover. I thought what a name like Trump, he was Protestant. Yet the Roman Catholic Church gives you communion every hour on the hour or whatever it is. Yeah, it's, I mean... During a July event in Iowa, Trump had said he'd never asked God for forgiveness for his sins. A central tenant of Christian faith. So he flip flopped. One more. Oh, Hillary has been guilty of flip flopping, too. Other Democrats flip flopped. John Kerry, when he ran a long time ago, flip flopped. But you know what Hillary does before she flip flops? She checks to see who her donors are. And then she flips and flops in their direction. That's correct. Oh, man. I can't tell you. Republican presidential candidate Jed Bush. Oh, God. What an idiot. What a boob. Bubble-headed booby he is. Push back against more than a dozen protesters who repeatedly heckled him. He says that Black Americans, he offers Black Americans hope and not free stuff. That's great. So free stuff, does that include a help with food and shelter and, you know, the necessities of life, survival? Absolutely. Is that what he means by free stuff? Absolutely. Interesting. So hope is going to put food on your plate and a roof over your head. I didn't know that. Well, and there's more money to give to, you know, the military industrial complex. He offers. He's offering the poor and Black America hope. There you go. Monday. Oh, he was heckled on Monday with help without our vote as he tried to address a national Hispanic business group. The former Florida governor was forced to halt his speech before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Houston to remind Olu shouting that he supports a pathway to citizenship for children of people in the U.S. illegally. I have this Miami Cuban businessman, my friends list, who calls Pope Francis socialist, Pinko Kami, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, you know, they don't like Castro's Cuba, you know, they're up, you know. But Castro's communism is not communist. It's totalitarianism. Yeah, it's a difference. They confuse. Thank you. They confuse them and I continue. But like other Republican presidential hopefuls, Bush wants to secure the border with Mexico before dealing with millions of people here illegally. Is that the big wall? Oh, something of that nature with the big beautiful door that you can come in legally. With Donald Trump's name on it. Yes, Trump's wall. The Trump and said it a great wall of China will be the great wall of Trump. There you go. Mary Moreno, communications director of the Texas Organizing Project said her group wanted to call attention to the hostile atmosphere being created by the GOP field of presidential candidates. Well, your people sure keep on voting in Republican governors, don't you? Deep in the heart of Texas. So, you know, same thing here in New Jersey. People were complaining constantly about Chris Christie, but they reelected them. I'm sure they, you know, Wisconsin people did the same thing and they reelected Scott Walker. Yeah, they tried to recall him, but he beat them back, man. He beat them back so he can beat ISIS because he beat them. They do what they do because they can, because they are allowed to. They are permitted to. That's why the forces of evil have been doing what they've been doing because we the people allow them to. Well, along with that, I don't hear anything of the voting machines in Wisconsin being checked. Oh, really? Because that's the only way Republicans can win. Well, it wasn't. Especially in a blues state. Wasn't it proven that South Carolina, electronic voting machines. Ohio, Florida. Every time somebody tried, every time someone in South Carolina tried to vote Democrat, it lit up Republican. Yeah, if you don't hear about them checking them, do you? And you don't hear a lot of emphasis and a big stink by the U.S. media on that subject of cheating. So they got the gerrymander and they got the tampered with voting machine. They got the two secret weapons, both of them. So that could account for many GOP victories. Well, a GW Bush's reelection over Al Gore. That sure wasn't investigated too long. You mean his selection? Selected by the Supreme Court. Predominantly conservative. He lost the election. Were they predominantly conservative Supreme Court justices? Of course there are. There are five of them. There you go. They're still there. It's rigged, man. See, this is what Americans don't realize. The system has been rigged. Well, they don't want to change this thing, though. Has been rigged. I think the last, the last honest United States of America was probably during Eisenhower in 1950s. Ike. Who knows? Who knows? Who knows? When I mean they Eisenhower, Harry Truman, FDR, even going back to the other nice guy, Republican, Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy! They got shit done. A lot of positive things happened. Oh, I heard in the 1950s union membership was at an all-time high. And the United States was very prosperous, extremely prosperous back then. Yeah. And guess what? What? Other countries were not scared of us, even though we were the only ones with the bomb. Until the Russians got the bomb, too. But guess what? Little Korea, Vietnam. They all got it. They weren't scared of us. But hey, today the neocons say if we get the bombs and all this other weaponry, they'll be scared of us. Yeah, even Trump is going around, right? United States. We're going to be the best. The last war in the United States, technically one, was World War II. And that's the last time our freedom was threatened and our borders were threatened was World War II. All the other wars after that were wars for profit, war profiteering. Because man, the private contract is understood, man. They made a killing in World War II. But you know something, the people, young people that joined the military, especially the ones from down south and out west, all these redneck Bible Belt, T-Bagger people. They all believe all this patriotic crap coming from Republicans, all this flag-waving bullshit. Our freedom, man, we got to protect, defend our country. We got to defend our country. Please. All this bullshit. Tie on the battlefield so that we don't have to take care of you when you come back here. See now, now the veterans are finding out exactly how much Washington cares about them upon their return. They're finding out too severely how much they care. Poverty, homelessness. Anyway, time for our lunch. We'll be back with the second half of the show. You will be joined now by how to defeat a conservative, how to defeat a conservative Bible versus just simply hit the pause button, read and learn, followed by our voiceover artist William Hamilton, moral of the third with promo.

We are back. We are back. Thank you very much. William Hamilton, moral of the third for doing promos and your words of wisdom. And we will now go back to the readings of this week's show. No holidays coming up this Monday, right? Okay, so it won't be a holiday show, but it will be in honor of Pope Francis in his first visit to the United States. And of course, go Bernie Sanders, as always, in 2016. Go Bernie. Go Bernie. It'll be great if they met Bernie Sanders and Pope Francis. What was I talking about before? Oh, the evangelicals. Oh, right to lifers. Listen, right to life evangelical cultists. A fertilized egg. Conception is no different than me taking a half a dozen fertilized chicken eggs, scrambling them, putting a swiss cheese and bacon, and making myself an omelet. No difference. It is not a human baby, you stupid imbeciles. Imbeciles, neither is an embryo a human baby, you stupid ignoramus imbeciles. You all should just keep an eye out for the next big meteor shower and just simply lie down in front of it. So the meteors will put you out of your misery, because as in the words of my friend, Mario Petrus, you all are a waste of sperm. Continue. Bridget Harrison's column precisely explains the transition of our governor, Chris Christie, in these last two years. The man that you really can't debate or disagree with is that he gets born a real one. The dictator, Christie. My wife and I moved to northern New Jersey in August of 2013. We had heard how popular and engaging Governor Christie was. Popular. Oh, New Jersey is not short of assholes, that's for sure. But since we came, we have become disillusioned with the governor. His bully tactics and pandering to his friends and appointees are most disappointed. Oh yeah, giving away millions of New Jersey tax money to his rich crony friends. How on earth could anybody have voted for him a second time? It's mind-boggling. His refusal to pay for the special costs for his security detail during his presidential run, while allowing our state to further decline, is inexcusable. Well, the tax payers also foot the bill for his bridgegate legal representation, his lawyers. The governor should stay at home and run the state. To the ground, but run the state. Even though he claims New Jersey has vastly improved from, from Governor, what the fuck was his name again? The last governor who used to work for Goldman Sachs. The Democratic billionaire, is at the tip of my tongue. Capital police are investigating a man identifying himself as an oath keeper who has threatened to arrest Senator Debbie Stabenow of Michigan for treason because of her support for the Iran nuclear deal. Yeah, but isn't, aren't all progressives including Obama for the deal? Democrats in general. Not everyone in them, but enough to override, you know, the Republicans stopping it. How is it treasonous if, if, if most Democrats are for the deal? Well, how is it treasonous? How was it not treasonous for Big Cheney and George W. Bush and his neocon friends to invade Iraq? Oh, they're guilty of so many things. That's correct, but the Republicans don't see that. Perception, so we're talking about perception. Yeah. Hypocrisy, perception. John Ritzheimer, the Arizona resident who reportedly attracted FBI attention when he organized an anti-Muslim protest rally and draw Mohammed cartoon contest at a Phoenix mosque. Shared his plans with fellow U.S. Marines in an open letter posted online. We have chosen her as our first target due to our strong ties with the militia, Michigan State Militia and their lax gun laws that will allow us to operate in a manner necessary for our operation. Yeah, not all militias are meant to do good. It depends on their, the people in them. After successfully detaining the Michigan Democrat, he and his armed militia will continue to move across the country and arrest everyone involved with the Iran new deal. Oh, they're authorized to do this? Including the president. Now, dream on. My question is, why is the man not in jail? Yeah, remember the days when people who threatened the president would immediately have the FBI knocking on their door? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Remember those days? Yeah. You don't see that anymore. Not when the man is black. Right, and the Republicans control the Congress. And the Supreme Court. I'm not sure if the Democratic Supreme Court justices are outnumbered, or I don't know what the ratio is now. What? Supreme Court justices ratio. Five to four. Five to four in favor. Five conservatives in four, whatever you want to call them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Bader Ginsburg, Sotomayor, yeah. Clegan Kagan, whatever her name is. Yeah. The chubby one. Yeah, and the other guy, Stephen or whatever. Oh, okay. Ben Carson. Ben Carson again. You know, there's no good caricature of Ben Carson, because he's a relatively good-looking man. There's nothing, there's no derogatory caricature of Ben Carson. Very simple, Uncle Tom. Yeah, well, that's obvious. I mean a caricature. Yes, I'm asshole, yes I'm asshole, yes I'm asshole. Kim Davis has no hideous, funny-looking caricature either. And she's a caricature. Why not the Bill Murray on Saturday Night Live? The Coneheads. She is a- She's a Conehead. She is a- We're from France. She is a political satire cartoonist dream, Kim Davis. Holy mackerel, but I keep on looking and looking, and I can't find a real degrading caricature of Kim Davis. It's- But it's easy. Huge forehead like a billboard. Just make it really big. And, you know, no neck, you know, give her a fat little body, you know. But anyway. Yeah, yeah, nobody is arrested anymore for threatening the black man in a White House. Sad and disrespect that he's getting. Anyway, Ben Carson believes a Muslim should not be elected president. Okay. Because the religion of Islam is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution. Well, so- So is the Republican Party incompatible with the U.S. Constitution, isn't it? In Carson's book, One Nation, What We Can All Do To Save America's Future, he quotes the Old Testament in saying, if a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man is with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must be put to death. I mean, if two men are bust slamming each other, packing fudge, Gerbilizing. The old Hershey Highway, taking the Hershey Highway. Yeah. Well, they really should take a big dump before they usually do an anima. Come on. Before they engage in such a thing. But however, up the ass is like the third or whatever of the acts that they choose to indulge in. It's not the first. It's a prostate simulation. Prostatic. It is a prosthetic stimulation. That's about it. The first act that they usually indulge in is fellatio. Okay. Mr. Philip Laceo. Philip Laceo. And he quotes the New Testament. And don't forget, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, which were filled with sexual immorality and every kind of sexual perversion, those cities were destroyed by fire and a warning of the eternal fire of God's judgment. Who wants to hear all this coming from the White House? Oh, Francis has a different attitude. He has said, if someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge? As of now, Carson is only second to Donald Trump in popularity in some presidential polls, in my opinion. So Carson is ahead of fear, I mean. Carson is not suitable to be president of the United States. No, just neurosurgery. Well, you know, I'm beginning to question his greatness as a neurosurgeon, which he keeps talking about. Yeah, why choose a political career of this magnitude if you are a supposed superior and famous neurosurgeon? I separated Siam Eastland. Why would you take such a huge step down in income from what a surgeon makes down to what the president of the United States gets paid? Why would you take that big pay cut plus all the aggravation and responsibility and of being a president and the pay cut? Why would you take a step down if you are such a renowned neurosurgeon? Questions, questions, questions. You have to analyze things, people. You have to study them. You have to weigh out the pros and cons, look for red flags. You have to really analyze something, you know. It's like, it's like, say, I'm very analytical and deep. Reverend Bill is very analytical and deep. William Morrow is also attention to detail, study and things. For instance, I'm very good at reading labels. The both of us are. I had a call came in and this guy asked me, I have you on some kind of a holistic health list of people who take supplements. I'm thinking to myself, how the hell does he know that? Then he asked me if I took turmeric. This is a matter of fact, I just started taking turmeric and as soon as I started telling him what I take, which is a very good quality, standardized extract capsule of turmeric. I am very impressed with the ingredients. It is under the Spring Valley label of Walmart. It is a Walmart brand. They use the name Spring Valley. I'm very impressed. I read it, the price was low and it's bona fide, high quality, standardized extract of turmeric with curcumin. As soon as I started talking about what I'm taking, he rudely kept on cutting me off. He wouldn't let me talk, so I hung up on him. Oh, my Lord, our turmeric is far superior to that junk over here. He wanted to sell his. He just wanted me to part with my money. And, but he was obnoxious about it. He kept on cutting me off. I just, I didn't raise my voice. I just went click, I pressed the button. That's it, done. You know, if you're going to be rude, but you see the sleaze of American business, it's like now they don't even treat you respect as a potential customer. It's done very obnoxiously. Speaking of obnoxious. Speaking of obnoxious. Carly Fiorina said on Sunday, horse-faced Fiorina, that neither she nor Hewlett Packard should be faulted for the sales of millions of HP printers in Iran when such business was prohibited by U.S. law. Not sure she was, she's going to say that, but she doesn't want a scandal. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Fiorina said that despite being the CEO of HP, when the Iranian sales took place via a third party, she was unaware of them. She's unaware and she don't recall. What did Mr. Reagan say? I don't recall. Well, you went well. I don't recall us selling weapons to Iran. I don't recall. But they say we did, so I guess we did. Just like Bush Seniors says, read my lips, no new taxes, thousand points of light, thousand points of light, no new taxes. First, HP, you need to remember, was larger than each of the 56 Fiorina set. Surprised they hired or such a famous big company in the industry? It's a larger budget than any one of our 50 states and a global enterprise. And so it's impossible to ensure that nothing wrong ever happens. The question is, what do you do when you find out? Are you saying you didn't know about it? Host Chris Wallace said. That's a good question. What do you do when you find out? In fact, the Securities and Exchange Commission investigation proved that neither I nor anyone else in management knew about it. And who knew? The Moli sales nitrosome. Nobody in management knew? Yeah, yeah. I find that hard to believe. That's why nobody ever goes to jail in management. Because it's those lowly people who do these things. It's bad, bad lowly people. They're always doing things like that. People at the bottom of the totem pole are always, are always the ones that are authorized to do underhanded things in a company. Oh, upper management never knows anything. When the company discovered this three years after I left, they cut off all time. The Securities and Exchange Commission investigated very thoroughly and concluded that no one in management was aware. A 2008 Boston Globe investigation found that while US companies were banned from selling goods to Iran, an Indian company in Dubai called Redington Gulf had sold HP printers there. They sold them so well, in fact, that HP had 41% market share in Iran by 2000. Redington Gulf obtained the printers through a European subsidiary. He went around the block and up the street and down the alley so you couldn't track it. You see, our show this week is hard hitting. I think it is. When Wallace asked Fiorina why HP had given Redington Gulf its whole sailor of the year award in 2003, if the company was not aware of its sales to Iran, Fiorina again deflected the blame. The whole sailor of the year that you're describing was doing business with another company that was doing business with Iran. Clearly, that whole sailor of the year, which should not have been whole sailor of the year, was not honest in their dealings with us, and they were not honest in their dealings with this third party company. Fiorina was also asked about the HP's struggles during her tenure, which included layoffs of 30,000 employees and a drop in the share price. She said that her time at HP, from 1999 until early 2005, was a period marked by widespread faltering in the technology industry. It's important to remember that I led HP during the worst technology recession in 25 years. She added that the NASDAQ technology stock index dropped by 80% and took 15 years to recover from that recession. So, she's lily white. She's innocent. She's innocent of everything. What does the evidence show? She got a clean slate, man. The evidence still shows she's a crook. She's a crook. Well, her ex-husband said she was a clown, right? And a robot. I wonder what the robot was all about. A floundering Fiorina fiasco. Certainly not a robot like those androids of the future will be. Of course, with the sex and the concubines. Well, they don't complain. You don't have to entertain them. You don't have to really, you don't have to take them out for dinner and drinks. You don't have to remember your anniversary and all that stuff. Unless they use it as a password, then you're stuck. You know, oh gosh, you know, we're just a blend of so much here at progressive discussions. In the absence of coral on Florida's ailing reefs, a titan of the sea is taking over giant barrel sponges. There used to be a sponge diving industry off the Florida Keys many years ago. A lot of Greek immigrants were sponge divers from the old country. Could they use these sponges? Big as a bathtub. That big, huh? The redwoods of the reef can live for centuries. Really? And grow to be six feet in diameter. And they're flourishing because of the decline in coral. For a healthy reef, a single sponge can provide plentiful housing and dependable sanitation with a menagerie of marine life finding food and shelter inside a cavernous barrel. That's good. That also filters huge volumes of seabed. That's outstanding. That's outstanding. Do they live in the Pacific Ocean or are they just indigenous to the Caribbean? But after a widespread coral die-off in the 1970s and 80s, a significant increase in sponges threatens to collapse the foundation of the complex ecosystem a new study has found. The research published in the Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology in August found that in 12 years sponges off conch key increased by 122 percent. Taking up 39 percent more reef in some areas the number of baby sponges increased by 600 percent. The best thing you can do for the ocean disease is not to pollute and they will come back. They will take care of themselves. If they are all that there is, the reefs will flatten out and decay. The Pacific Ocean with Fukushima is another talk show. As long as they are holding the space and they can live hundreds of years they won't give that space up to the core. Now with that lifespan the redwoods of the sea. I didn't even know these sponges existed. This is the first time I'm learning about it. How about that? While researchers only documented the rise in the Florida Keys, Pollock said he has seen the spread all over the Caribbean. Pollock, it's the name of a type of codfish. It's P-A-W-L-I-K, not P-O-L-L-O-C-K. It's spreading from Belize to Tobago. Wow, that far? Because Belize is Central America. Tobago is the eastern end of the Caribbean. It's by Trinidad. That's correct. And Guiana, Venezuela, well maybe more Guiana. We think the exact same thing is happening everywhere in the Caribbean. I remember the infamous red tie. Where's the algebra bloom? High bacterial algae bloom that caused problems in the Caribbean? Well that's bad news, Pollock said. There is an upside. The sponges suck in huge amounts of water. Filtering out carbon, sending it back into the sediment. In an increasingly carbon-rich atmosphere, that's a good thing. They provide a place for baby fish. Fry, yeah. And shrimp. Well. And baby lobsters. You might as well say the food chain, the cycle. All the things. The bottom of the food chain. Important for fishermen. Well, because where you have a haven for a baby, everything, you have the predators and the bigger fish, and everything hangs out in that area. In the 1990s. It was a food. Pollock said, researchers at the Aquarius Underwater Research Station, south of Issa Morada. Isla Morada. Means purple island. Begin noticing. I like Isla Morada a lot. The sponges turning white. Oh, what's going on, man? The sponges. Some completely fell apart. Why? Why are the sponges dying? So in 2000, Pollock started monitoring the sponges. Mapping out 12 to 16 acre plots. Over time, the sponges had begun crowding out the seaweed. Which had spread after bleaching wiped out some 90% of the reef tract. Taken over. It's not good. You have to have balance in nature. So that was a good thing. But between 2006 and 2012, the number of sponges began to rise. Likely because of the absence of hurricanes. Which can easily topple the big sponges. Even at 30 feet deep where they live. If acidity in oceans continued to rise. Under climate change, coral. With their vulnerable limestone skeleton. Will likely die. No wonder I see so many limestone boulders in the Florida Keys. A lot of limestone there. The sponges with a glass skeleton. So far appear unaffected by increasing acidity. It's better than what we had. Which is seaweed. But coral is better than sponge. Glass skeleton isn't a silica? But sand? I mean true. I'm not talking about the white sand. Well the white sand you see in tourist photos of South Pacific or the Caribbean. Those are actually tiny dead marine creatures. I'm talking about regular sand is a silica. So when they say glass skeleton they mean silica. Do you happen to have one of those, I don't want to say light subjects. Because it might upset the hard hitting people. But I mean like one of those human interest story subjects? I don't know. If not we'll just call it a week. It's still a matter of things being out of whack. Out of whack. Yeah. Out of whack. Yeah. Would this be the last one? Well no I want to look for something that's a little lighter. Well I mean you know what I mean by. I know what you made buddy boy. Human interest. And I found one. Human interest. I found one. So we could pound on human behavior. I found one. Psychological issues. I get to apply my black thorn chilele therapy on somebody. Look at this crap. How did this happen? Something's going on brother. Strange that thing is. Something's going on here. This side won't get it. You know office carpet there. What's going on? Yeah but why did it get moved like that? I don't know. Spirit. I don't do nothing. Spirits. Evil spirits trying to sabotage the power that is progressive. I am 19 years old. Progressive. Oh you're 19? And going into my second year of college. You look old for 19. I was sexually and emotionally abused during my first two years of high school by a boy. Oh it's a female. A year older than me. I attended therapy for a while. And eventually found myself in a loving relationship with my boyfriend. We've been living together for a year. Everything was going fine until I came home for summer break. I have never gotten over the feelings I had for my abuser. Ah I see you see the bad boys. They're attracted to the bad boys these girls. But I loved my boyfriend. Yeah sure. And would never want to hurt him or endanger myself again. She wants the abusive supressata. The abusive salami. Why should I have feelings for someone who treated me so terribly? What should I do about it? She's just one of tens of thousands of mostly young females that are this way. Dear Abby said. I commend you for recognizing that the status quo isn't in your best interest. Yes she does acknowledge that. Old habits die hard. And you may still be physically attracted to your abuser. Yeah maybe it's physical lust for him. Now that the school year is beginning again. Head straight to the student health center and talk to a counselor about this. Understanding this is important for your emotional well-being now and in the future. You think girls like this take it personally that they were abused by someone? Like it's partially. Sometimes it is the first thrust of sexuality that occurs under those circumstances and they like it. First thrust you mean first time you mean that she was a virgin before him. I'm not talking about busting a hymen. I'm talking about the feelings. Oh feelings. We like that nauseating song feelings nothing more than feelings. Oh I hated that song. I feel feelings for the way she says feelings. I'm talking about the thrust man the pythosalami thrust. You're talking about feelings. Kneeling man. In other words the first time she felt in love is the sexual feelings. Well then we're going back to hide the salami that's what I'm talking about. Well not hiding the salami. I'm feeling feelings. Hiding the salami is not the only thing that brings about a reaction or response. Well that's what you're talking about. You could do you could let your finger do the walking. Same thing. Talking about the physical part then you say no it's feelings. And then I hear I'm thinking it was emotion and what you really meant is what I said initially. Emotions are feelings. What? Emotions are feelings. Yes. They're not physical like the salami. What do you mean her first thrust when you said thrust I thought about intercourse thrust. That was your that was your first wrong thing. No it's not because the word thrust is associated with playing hide the salami. 99% of men in discussing situations thrust they think of only one thing intercourse thrusting and shooting their load. But that's not how it is empty in their flapjacks. That's not how it is flapjacks. Hold on hold on seven bells for emptying your flapjacks. What do you mean that's not how it is. How is it you tell me. Well forgive but let's just take your example for a moment. Realistically putting in the salami. Hide the salami. Well what occurs before that. Usually foreplay. Feelings. Now are usually kissing and and hugging. And what do they arouse. And they arouse a sexual stimuli. Which are. Getting horny. Feelings. Sensation. Feelings. I could now now I call them sensation. Well you can call it feeling. No you couldn't call them they are. All right so the so so the love part will be emotional. We'll call them emotion. We're not even talking about love. How could feelings. We're talking about sexual stimuli. How could feelings getting be getting plowed and being in love all at the same time. You got to differentiate. What we're not even talking about love. We're talking about the first sexual stimulation. Stimulation. While a man a man a boy was abusing her. Does she say abuse. How do we know it was true abuse. Maybe she's exaggerating. That's why she's probably still liking it. Because it aroused these feelings. I didn't think a woman that young had much of a sex drive until they got wet into their thirties until they until they entered their thirties. I thought their sex drive was like you know minimal. Well what is a sex drive not to do it with one occurrence. Okay it's between her and this ex that she that she claims is an abuser. Yeah she didn't describe what abuse it was. And she cannot she is still physically attracted to him but she does acknowledge. Maybe not to him but what he did this is what I'm saying. Well then how come she she's not attracted to her the present boyfriend that did does the same thing to her. Obviously he does not. So it's not the physical part is what he did. So maybe he she has some kind of an S&M turn on. It could be we don't know with this. There was not enough descriptive stuff here. She did not explain the fine detail of what the abuse meant. Yes. How she was abused. It might be a what do you call it a submissive. A submissive you see this this so-called last light topic is not so light anymore. No hold on where's my show Ellie it's heavy duty man. You see you pencil that geek out there that said we're not hard hitting. Sometimes we are hard hitting jerk. Go ahead continue. Continue. That's it. Dear Abby said. All right that's it. She said it. Hi you. Go get counseling. Go get counseling. All right now thank you very much for this week's progressive discussions. We will see you next week. Have a safe and enjoyable weekend and the new week. Yes it is officially not summer anymore but with climate change that doesn't mean anything. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. Bye bye. Say so long to these people. This has been a mega life 21 production.
