 Okay, we are back for the following segment of this week's Progressive Discussion Show. 100% ad libbed, unplanned, unrehearsed. Anything can happen. Anything and everything goes. No censorship. The undisputed kings of Progressive Internet Talk Radio. You can take that right to the bank, suckers. Yeah, try to make it a community bank or a credit union. Yeah, yeah, I like a little itty-bitty savings alone or a credit union. Yeah, not a don't make it a big bank. Because we want to break them suckers up. Yeah, which is what Hillary never says. That's correct. We want itty-bitty, itty-bitty, teeny-weeny, yellow polka dot bikini, or just a little itty-bitty bank run by Oompa Loompas from the Willy Wonka movie, right? Okay, go ahead. Go ahead, chief. Sink your teeth into them dog readings. Got to talk teabag or talk a little bit. Down yonder dem da readings. No research reveals that eating a vegetarian or very healthily could actually be harmful to the environment. Sounds like bullshit that the American food industry would say. The USDA recommends people consume more fruits, vegetables, the dairy, and seafood. And meat production has a very bad reputation when it comes to the environment. That's very true. But when researchers at Carnegie Mellon, Carnegie, Carnegie, Carnegie Mellon University studied the resources used and greenhouse gases emitted per calorie of foods, they found surprisingly that a lot of healthier foods rank high in amounts of resources used and greenhouse gases emitted per calorie. In other words, what they're saying is the more meat that is consumed, the more flatulence occurs in humans and animals, the more vegetable. Oh, okay. They're talking about the what it takes to raise the livestock in comparison to the plant foods. And you see what is happening with Chipotle. Chipotle buys direct from the farms fresh and prepares stuff like that. And that's why they're having these mouth breaks of E. coli, etc. Well, speaking of E. coli, I'll give you an example. Apple orchards. It's a known fact that deers are very fond of apples. So the deers would, you know, walk through the orchard and any apples that have fallen already would get some fecal matter on them. And there's your E. coli. I mean, the E. coli doesn't just appear out of nowhere. For example, they said that eating lettuce is more than three times worse than eating bacon. In terms of greenhouse gas emissions. I, I wouldn't believe any negative propaganda around any dark, leafy vegetable, which is probably pound for pound. The most nutrient dense food you can eat is a dark green leafy vegetable. So I don't know about that. This may be due to the energy used in the food supply chain, including the growth, production and storage of such goods. The study was published in environment systems and decisions. Well, providing the vegetables are organic non-GMO, which is another talk show. Yeah. You know, it's very difficult to, to eat 100% healthy, to, to afford. Mr. Gary Know was speaking about a gentleman on Friday who was 110 years old. Right. And eats healthily and etc. and naps. Takes canaps. He takes naps, which I like because I like to take naps. You know, after, after my indulgences on Christmas day, Christmas Eve, Christmas day, I feel like nodding off now. I did take a Benadryl before coming here. Oh, Lord. Just in case. You don't seem to arrive at a situation with Allegra. I don't take this all the time. I take it once. I know, but Allegra does not make you drowsy. Oh, that no, it doesn't, it doesn't help my allergies. All the products that are one pill a day non drowsy formulas, the Loretidin, which is popular, which is Claretin, all those, the Zantac. Is it Zantac or that's the stomach anti-acid? No, that's the Zantac is the, that's the anti-acid. What's the Zertac? Zertac, yes. Yeah. All of the non drowsy one a days don't help me. Same thing with motion sickness. If I took a one, a one pill boning, it doesn't work nearly as well as the Dramamine, but the Dramamine will knock you out. But it works, you see. What about cinnamon? Oh, or ginger, you mean? And ginger doesn't work. And there's a homeopathic based upon a nicotine. Well, when I used to go surf, I mean a party bowl fishing, I gave it up because I get very seasick easily. Yeah, please don't do that. But anyway, the Dramamine is the only thing that helped, but it made me sleep on the boat. Nice. I could pull in any fish if you're sleeping. I could have slept at home. Yeah, exactly. And save myself the money of going on a party boat. Oh, boy. Yeah, that's what I say. Christian conservative activists whose support has been hotly pursued by Republican presidential candidates have begun to quietly coalesce around Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. It's, you know, it's amazing that these people get so much FaceTime and media attention. I mean, conservative Christian, which is really a cult, if you find out they know nothing of the Bible, it's really a cult. Religion hasn't been proven. So why does the media and the political You must have faith, myself. Political environment, political scene. Why do they give so much FaceTime and pay so much attention to them if religion is not proven? Because they're afraid of saying anything bad about religion. Why not? Because they can't tell the difference. You know, they go around and they claim that Orthodox Jews, extreme Muslims, Islamists and Christians are worshiping the same God. Where the hell are they get that from? I haven't heard, I very rarely hear anything accurate from their mouths in terms of what is, what was written in the Bible that as far as quoting the Bible or whatever. I mean, there's even extremists in with the Jews. I mean, look at the right wing Zionists and the Christians and the hell he called a Roman Catholic Church. But you know what, this whole attitude of being thin skinned and walking on egg shells and withholding reality and the truth from people because their person is afraid of being called bias or bigoted or whatever. Anti-Semitic or homophobic or whatever. Xenophobic who was a warrior princess played by Lucy Lawless. Seven Bells for Lucy Lawless. Xenophobic, afraid of Xena. Oh, we're on a roll. But you know, you can't go through life being thin skinned and this is what people do. They want to be liked so badly. Please like me. Please love me. No, don't say I'm bad. Me, I can care less. I just believe in the truth. Marco Rubio said, don't call me a bigot. Don't call me a bigot. What was it pertaining to? Somebody called my bigot. And it bothers him. Yeah, I'm not a bigot. Instead of saying, I'm not a bigot. Why doesn't he just go after the person in a fierce debate and improve the other person wrong? Instead of saying, please don't call me a bigot. A major boost for his efforts to present himself as the leading challenger to front runner Donald Trump. Front runner. Yeah, front. Members of this core GOP constituency have long been torn between several favorites in the party's crowded field. But many organization leaders have decided in recent days to line up behind crews. Yeah, they like grandpa and monster. Because they consider him the best funded and most electable social conservative in the race. They like the idea that he prays like this, like he's taking a big shit with his eyes squinted. Does God hear his prayer? Well, that's like an antenna to evangelicals. They put their arms and their hands up here. According to the Bible, that is. Not really. No, not really. No, I mean, I mean, there are strong, unpolitically correct. No. I mean, there are parts of the Bible where it mentions that, you know, you can communicate with God. I mean, who? That's majority of humankind. Or only the ones that he has chosen. Exams. Well, I told, I told Ken create. I says, the elect is the elect. He seems easy. He's telling me the elect are the believers. I go, no, they're not. Well, they are the ones in God's church. I says there are there is 244,000 of the the heavy hitters that are were are brief selected by God. All of them have not been preselected yet. Oh, it hasn't happened yet. Of the 144,000 bunches yet that have been selected during throughout time, but there are more to go. We have a tribulation to go through when a lot are going to change. Well, how long does it take him to select 144,000? I'll be because he's very selective. In other words, all these, I should tell you, millions, all these are jabronis that go to all these churches, born again, evangelical, holy, roller churches, where everybody's laying their hands on everybody and praying for everyone. Like my sister goes to one, unfortunately, laying their hands praying. Let me pray for you. Oh, no, no, let me pray for them. Let me pray for them. They all think that just by being a believer and accepting Jesus Christ as your personal Savior that they are, according to Ken, they're one of the elect. Sorry, God will determine who are the elect, not Ken creation. In other words, these born again, dysfunctional weirdos that I run into every now and then. Their ass is going to be grass during the tribulation. They're not going to get raptured up. He thinks they're all going to get saved and raptured up. In other words, they're going to be killed. In other words, dead, deep down, they're probably afraid of the tribulation. Maybe they're so intimidated by it that they're making up excuses like they're going to get spared. Well, that's their excuse. They think they're going to be spared when Jesus comes, so they want to help Jesus come. They want to destroy the United States real quick, so that Jesus will come. They don't get he comes during World War III. What have they done? What have these weirdos done that are so special that they should be one of the pre-selected elect? It's only in their mind. I just told you. It's kind of like the Bible. It's kind of a different story. It's kind of vain, isn't it? A little bit. I mean, what have you done just because I'm a believer? Like Kenny, you'll tell me, oh, he's a big time Christian. So what does that mean? He's a big time Christian. Oh, he's a believer. He's a believer. I said, so watch. The monkey sang his song, I'm a believer. Mickey Dolan's called by God. Doesn't mean there's the difference. You have to be called by God. How do we know? We don't know that if that happens. Well, he would know that wouldn't he? Unless he was delusional, of course, like George W. Bush, where God told him to go into Iraq. You see. No, Dick Cheney told him to go into Iraq. Yeah, exactly. Well, I'm sure he thought of Dick Cheney as God. Maybe Dick Cheney told G.W. that God told him. There's a post. I think it was on Facebook or it was on regular TV with Joe Biden praising Dick Cheney and George W. Bush. Seriously? Yeah. And Joe Biden, when he was playing the violin on the late night talk shows, almost ready to shed a tear, because, you know, I mean, I feel bad for him his son died prematurely. But, you know, but he was, you know, politically, he was trying to get real close to the people, you know, and the poor and everything and showing compassion. How could you be genuinely compassionate for the little guy if you're praising two demonic war criminals? Mr. Biden owes much to corporations and the insurance industry in his state of of which is that Maryland, Maryland, Delaware, Delaware, excuse me. I knew it was one of those little guys. He's a corporatist like everybody else. He's a snake oil salesman. He's like a car dealer. He's a corporatist. He's a corporatist and people suck it up and they get all misty. We're getting all misty in the in the audience because he got to them right in the cockles of their little heart. They're so goable the American public. But many organization leaders have decided in recent days to line up behind crews because they consider him the best funded and most electable. He won the backing of a key evangelical coalition after a secret December the seventh meeting in which top national activists agreed to roll out a stream of endorsements many time for maximum impact between now and March the first. Super Tuesday. I could picture a stream concerning Republicans stream of urine when a dozen states will hold primaries or cacuses. You see those evangelical pastors setting himself on fire out of... No, I didn't see anyone yet do it. No, I saw a picture. I've seen Buddhists do it. I saw a picture of one. I don't know if that was a pastor, but you set himself on fire and he was running and this is in protest of gay marriage. You know, good. Do us all a favor. Good for them. That's correct. They should all do that. Actually, let the entire Republican Congress do it also. That too, yes. Be doing the country. Everybody a favor. Enormous service. That's correct. Eight of those states have significant evangelical populations and Cruz is targeting them in hopes of emerging March the second with the highest delegate totals of any candidate. Since the December 7th meeting, endorsements have been announced by influential figures such as James Dobson. Focus on the family. Mr. James Dobson, if you'll read newsletter censored, How to Defeat a Conservative, you'd understand what James Dobson is. James Dobson, once upon a time, made a DVD with Ted Bundy, the serial killer, trying to prove that pornography made him do it. Really? So, in other words, he was, he's a nut. He's an evangelical nut. Yes, yes, yes, yes. And it was like a mutual, it was a mutual benefit. Bundy was trying to get off on his charge, you know, plea of insanity. No, he took full responsibility for what he did, but he blamed his family. He blamed his church. He blamed the people around him. He blamed his state. He did not blame pornography. No, Dobson wanted an excuse to ban all adult material. Just like Edwin Meese, when he set up the Meese Commission. Right. He tried to prove that pornography causes violence. And the evangelical right-wing nuts of the past with prohibition. Prohibiting alcoholic beverages. They're very concerned with what other people do in their private lives. In their bedroom, in a bathroom, even. Yeah, they want to control your private life. Who you marry, who you date. I think some states actually have a law saying that it's illegal for interracial marriage. They did. They did. Interracial marriage. Jim Crow Laws did. No, some either still have it or want to go back to it. Possibility, I know not. I just know that they did. Well, there was an article to that effect. James Dobson, a radio host who founded Focus on the Family. Brian Brown, the national organization for marriage. And Bob Vander Plaats, head of the Iowa Family Leader Organization. The next gathering will take place a few days after Christmas at a remote ranch in Central Texas. They should have the eight cartons in the back like KORN Radio and Hewha. Where Cruz and his wife and several key financial backers will visit with some of their country's most prominent evangelical leaders for private conversations and a public rally. I got a simple answer for them. Why don't you mind your own fucking business? What other people do? Like Kim Davis was talking the same shit recently about the gay marriage. Well, they weren't any evangelical in the White House. Mind your own fucking business. That's what most people would say. Don't you damn business how I live or what my hobbies are or who I date or who I fuck. Yeah, well, they want to be in charge so that it can make laws against you saying that. Your freedom of speech is capoe. Well, when people are pissed, you can't censor people that hate your guts and are pissed off. You can kill them. We can have a civil war. Not if it's just one person. No, of course not. There you go. And that's the way they usually do it. They usually do it one at a time. When the cops kill the black people, they're not killing a whole bunch of them. Kill them one at a time. Oh, like those alternative doctors that are found dead all of a sudden? I believe that is not true. That's horsemen or? Yeah. That's hogwash? Yeah. Some of the 100 or so leaders flying to the ranch, owned by conservative billionaire Faris Wilkes, Faris Bueller, are still considering other candidates, including Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, who also is maneuvering to be the Trump alternative. Activists say he is being hindered by a relatively late start. Trump performs well in national polls among self-described evangelical voters, but many top activists and group leaders consider the real estate magnet insufficiently committed to opposing abortion and same-sex marriage. Oh, yeah. Those extreme right-wing evangelicals, they still think that fertilized egg is a human baby. Oh, yes. It's no different than the eggs in my omelette or scrambled eggs. Or, you know, all the different styles of cooking eggs are I don't know, man. You know who must be a pain in the ass? People that want it over easy? I mean, what the hell? They're still getting a runny yolk, no matter how you... Yeah. No matter if you do them sunny side up or over easy. A little more cooking time, that's all. Oh, a little bit more. Salmonella. I know him well. Chef Salmonella. Yeah, I know him. Chef Carl Imari. The sheriff's deputies in a central Georgia county have been surprising motorists, some of whom expect a ticket. Instead, they've received $100 bills. The Macon Telegraph reported that Monroe County Sheriff John Carey, Bittick, gave officers $54, $100 bills to hand out randomly over three days during the past week. Doesn't sound like Boss Hog to me. The newspaper reported that the money came from an anonymous benefactor. Bittick said the donor had seen the concept somewhere else and thought it would be a great idea in light of tensions nationwide between the police and the public. The Telegraph said that some of the recipients were so moved they broke into tears. Is that going to change things? Is that going to make the cops less trigger happy? But not everyone. Deputy John Thompson said one motorist cussed him out before learning about the money and she did not get a $100 bill. I bet she has a warrant against her unpaid tickets. She's one of those scoff laws. No, I see people like real arrogant bastards. Some of them are like yuppies that have BMWs and everything. And they just designed their own parking space. You know, they park on a diagonal. They take up two spots because they're so special. You know, I mean, you're so worried about your car. Park farther away and walk. Don't, don't take up two parking spaces by parking diagonally. You know, it's like rubbing it in people's face. I'm special. I got money. I got a new BMW. They have a new small car where if you want to parallel park, all you do is pull up alongside your parking space, turn the wheels, and you just go in. And you just go in. What's that? Is some kind of like radar? No, it's your car. You're driving. Echo location. But the wheels can turn. Yeah, it's like putting it on automatic pilot, so to speak. No, you're driving the car. How are you? You've turned the four.
