Dr. William J. Eisenman that I was having a discussion with the caregiver about Pharmaceutical advertisements big pharma ads on TV and you have the disclaimer that scares the life Yeah, and then you have the one for see Alice in Viagra If your erection lasts more than four hours see the doctor And I can just picture a man going into the ER and and the woman behind the desk will say Why are you here? Usually it's that's how the women are when you first come in here, you know, no one nobody hot look Why are you here and then you announce that your boner won't go down It's been that way for four hours and everybody starts laughing and and looking at you and smiling anyway We are going to consume the last two Yenling summer weeks Wisin Wisin beer there it is or better yet there it is So I don't have to worry about me so I don't have to worry about Positioning the damn bottle properly so you can see the label America America's oldest brewery 1829 established founded 1829 Yenling Potsville, Pennsylvania This is summer wheat, okay, and there you can see um Traditional Wisin beer like Nancy Sinatra's old song summer wine She's saying these boots were made for a walking that was one of the and walking is what they do So some one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you.

Yes Batman himself passed away So a moment of silence and this is a very special moment of silence for me Because I was a huge fan of that old series All right I'm going to silence for Adam West a little belated but He deserves my first sip of Yenling summer wheat. I think I will be getting Yenling stout For next time No, not the stout. I don't even think they make a stout either either either Lord Chesterfield ale or Porter, I'm sorry. I will be getting porter and I found out the difference between a stout and a porter Professor craft beer expert and Enthusiasts professor Dave Coulter told me that With Porter they use a malted barley and With stout they use a roasted barley and I believe malting is when you sprout grains And he says I am right. I asked him the process known as malted comes from sprouting the grains and Yeah, so that's that's the difference of course sprouting grains Like sprouting seeds increases their nutritional value Substantially certain nutrients Okay Salute Not draw you. All right. Oh That that would be if I had Frosty cold vodka from the freezer then you would say that you know I Did I mentioned last week about progressive soups putting giant pieces of potato and said yeah cheap filler But no if you I don't really have any product to bash This week I Don't want to rehash How the American food industry and American retail continues to screw the consumer they do they have Contemplative consumers even though they talk about customer service is all they freaking care about and you know They should be caring about quality and then the customer service the customers The customer situation will take care of itself Well, you know put service first and and and everything else would take care of itself in business Oh, so John Mackie the scumbag Mackie is no longer In charge of Whole Foods well, I hope Amazon does the right thing and Put some integrity back at the Whole Foods We will see we will see you know no no fake phony non-gmo organic Foods from China that are that are not Organic and non-gmo. They you know they were lying about that That's why when I buy something non-gmo and organic I buy a Not a private label not a store label, but I buy a brand name and it has to have Not not just the the stupid usda certified organic Which is a joke it has to have a third-party Independent independent assayed independent or Organization that specializes in Certifying foods to be organic non-g and non-gmo a third-party It could be like for instance is one in Oregon California I'm sure has them, you know, they're around they're out there Europe has them. I Think one is in Switzerland But these are reputable established organizations that Would certify foods if they deserve it to be organic, you know, but You know, well have you Have you caught any of the gems coming out of Donald Trump's mouth on Twitter? Lately calling Democrats obstructionist He says he's under investigation for obstruction of justice Yeah, yes He was jacking today reading from a script With all his old nonsense stuff and then Clyburn came on Congressman Clyburn and He was talking about the problem Well, yeah, you know, he's a Trump is off in his own world. I Mean or something if anyone Is guilty of obstructionism or obstructing it's it's it's the Republican Party in the last eight years Obama was in Barack Obama and He's just pissed off that The Democrats want want to keep the Affordable Care Act and and have compassion for the 2020 some odd 22 23 24 whatever it is million people Gonna be kicked off. Yeah, low-income people that rely on the Affordable Care Act and of course some states are 100% for Universal single payer and and I Think California which kind of surprised me because I thought the moon beam Jerry Brown was sort of in the back pocket of Companies like Nestle's, you know with the bottle of bottling up all that spring water during a severe drought But he surprised me and I think New York which I'm really surprised New York is gunning for it But then again, I shouldn't be you know, I mean Andrew Cuomo is the son of the great progressive Mario Cuomo Bob Grant used to make fun of all the time calling them sfa chain You know the late Bob Grant. Yeah, and I mean New York State is Without a doubt more progressive than New Jersey. I mean if you're low-income You will live better and get more programs if you reside it in New York state then in our state I Really highly doubt if there are any progressives are running For a governor They all seem like what's the word centrist's middle of the road? Well, Phil Murphy is from Wall Street Like John Corson for he worked for Golden Goldman Sachs Goldman Sachs like John. Why Donald is you know Christie's girl Like like like like choice. Yeah, like John Corson was a former. He's a billionaire Worked for Goldman Sachs and ran as a Democrat and one as a Democrat in New Jersey Now That doesn't say great things for the two-party system. If you have a Democrat that was a Goldman Sachs Wall Street man Doesn't say good things. Well, mr. Paul Ryan Yeah, is now using this shooting at The Congress congressional base model name Blayman Bernie Sanders No, he's using the shooting to Let's all get together and work together and boo. Meanwhile, I say kumbaya Meanwhile Is latest budget proposal has all those cuts in it for the poor well the Republicans are our experts at Throwing the big distractions at mainstream America Let's distract them while while we're picking their pockets. Yeah, and and pulling A reverse Robin and then blaming them for picking their part of reverse and then and then saying that all those Those poor moochers are picking our pockets meanwhile Your pockets of the rich are not even Paying your fair share of an income taxes right if any taxes at all, right? So it's it's so there you're it's the middle class that are getting hammered all the time you know for the past 30 some odd years, so It's all it's all big mind game. It's all carnival snake oil Come on in the bearded lady the Barker Not Bob Barker either. Yeah, it's all carnival snake oil Charleston bullshit bullshit is what it is and You know, hey, I'm saying I'm surprised Jesse Ventura, by the way, he's still doing book signings for his new book marijuana manifesto.

Yeah, and He's right Founding fathers grew lots of hemp and blood thought very highly of him They I don't know about the part about all men being created equal because they had slaves You know, yes, they did in the Northeast in the Northeast, but That was the economic situation that pre That was in effect at that time Yes, and and also also I watched the documentary Of course, I watch age and aliens, you know, I watch I watch a lot of things on cable I'm watching the American Pickers a AHC, I think the channel is it plays a lot of heavy-duty Documentaries I think it's called AHC American Pickers exploit senior citizens widows and widowers alike This is the American Picker mentality Excuse me, sir. I you know Hate to bother you but You know we offer a service So we'd like to take a look at your in your barn or in your attic or your in your basement and We will clean out your your your attic or or or Bait or barn for free if you let us keep whatever we find Or or they'll like say no the pickers pay They pay, but they don't they don't They never tell The old geezer or the old lady What it's really worth Frank and Mike are pretty fair They well then they must have changed They'll get something they like it the guy will say okay 50 bucks and like Michael say no no no It's but maybe it's worth about maybe a hundred He's so they got nice. They've got it. Well now wait. Who's the chubby guy Mike? That's Frank Frank They drive around in the big white van. I know I know I don't watch it because because he Years ago. That's what they did They they high-fived each other as they drove off and say boy really we really made a killing with this old guy You know like they didn't tell him what it was really worth So they they must have you know, maybe somebody got in their case about it, but uh Yeah, good luck to Jesse Ventura and his new book Hemp is where it's at the most versatile plant on God's green earth Hey Extremely versatile. Oh, I got a chisel is all a shame. Oh, I got one You know, I'm sure you people out there have been bombarded with commercials from the Duluth trading company Yeah, bombarded with them. Well, guess what? Out of curiosity. I went to their website Duluth trading comm whatever Just to check out something simple like Like let's say t-shirts that would Make me feel more comfortable and more cool in the summertime there. There's a new synthetic material that allows for that bamboo a bamboo t-shirt, yeah, bamboo. Yeah, maybe I should wear a bamboo vest and And Anyway, Duluth makes non-binding underwear. Well, they have a they have a a shirt looks like a long-sleeve Casuals like a sport or a work shirt that's supposed to You know, be very breathable and cool in the summer But they also have t-shirts of that material. Anyway, I checked out the t-shirts There's no friggin way. I'm paying 20 to 30 dollars for one t-shirt So what I did was I went to Walmart and lo and behold Haines makes t-shirts out of a synthetic material called cool dry That's the name of the material cool dry cool cool cool dry. I read about it It sounds just like the material that Duluth trading advertisers and Guess what $6,070 someone cents keeper part t-shirt Part t-shirt as opposed. Hey Haines makes it. That's the Walmart price the Walmart 670 something it what I did was I ordered it online. I Ordered five of them. I ordered Just to try them out. I ordered solid white. They're all solids by the way. No pocket No advertisement like over here. I got the floor of the keys. Just solid colors crewneck All right, I ordered white. I ordered navy blue. I ordered black. I ordered forest green and a maroon Which is sometimes called burgundy red All right, they came in they shipped it to the nearest Walmart for free You don't pay for shipping if you haven't sent to your house. You have to pay for shipping So you have it shipped to the nearest Walmart which I did which is only five minutes away from me and And it's the prices are cheaper on the website by the way on the on the Walmart comm website So six dollars and seventy-some-odd cents got five of them Haines cool dry There are a hundred percent synthetic material and It sounds very similar to the material Duluth trading company is advertised except at a fraction of the price so that That jabroni that does the commercial I recognize his voice I'm almost sure that's the Arby's do that says we've got the beat It next time you listen to Duluth trading that guy Close your eyes as he's talking he sounds just I bet that's a bet easy. He does commercial voiceovers and he and in this case for different companies, but anyway, so 20 to 30 dollars for one t-shirt Duluth trading company You are inducted into the chiseless Hall of Shame shame on you You crooks Come on give me a break it would have cost me a fortune to get a Reasonable amount of t-shirts from the Duluth trading company They have shirts like that. So even Swingooly Yeah, the t-shirts like with Adam West or Star Trek or Nostalgia nostalgia cheaper than that. I think they're about 16 bucks Something like that. Yeah. Oh, of course Vince McMahon's WWE The pro wrestler pro wrestler t-shirts. I think our our way up there because you know all Vince has got to make his profit You know, oh, yeah, you know, he's like Donald Trump Uh What the hell somebody was complaining that they they had breakfast in Trump Tower and a glass of orange juice was like course Course the pretty one the hospital was yeah, like yeah hospital. All right, the the cafeteria in a hospital, right? Yeah Yeah Asperger cost you 10 bucks Well, they build you know they build Medicare and the insurance company. I Think a dollar and aspirin if anybody takes aspirin anymore, I don't even know They will they complain that aspirin which is an extract from a certain tree So like that's why I think white will I will okay. Yeah, they originally The bad publicity around aspirin was this in stomach or intestinal bleeding, right? Yeah, but Time on all a set of medicine does the same thing So, you know, it's like well, I have my I have Look all the doctors again, they'll go for 40 aspirin baby When you can go for fish oil without all those problems Are you talking you're talking about the when they recommend baby at a low-dose baby aspirin 82 degrees or what I mean for Oh Cardio for cardio as a blood thinner, right? Well, you could take natural vitamin e 400 units Mixed the copper rolls and a good omega-3 fish oil supplement And like the one I take I take my fish oil capsules are 1400 milligrams That's the highest I can find 1400 milligrams That's the brain food compared to well, it's more than that. That's the that's the primary. Oh, you know, which has 500 milligrams of DHA. It's a it's an omega-3 That's the calamari Regits, that's their registered trademark name Kala Maureen that's from squid now Supposedly no not supposedly in reality Salmon is not the king of omega-3s anymore. Now. It's the New Zealand green-lip muscle Now eels by the way are very high in omega-3 probably because of the fat content if you've ever skinned an eel I have and And consume them they are very high in fat like Sam. No worse than salmon. What am I saying? But it's a good fact. It's a good fact and it's a good fact and Also, I've been reading some amazing articles about Virgin organic coconut oil and Alzheimer's disease and More evidence has been shown that aluminum does play a big role in the Alzheimer's patients a Very big role Yes, all right, so that's something to remember Don't cook an aluminum cook Don't take thumbs Oh, you're right. You know aluminum and that's it. What about antiperspirants? Antiperspirants. Yes, not not the odorant Antiperspirant the odorant because there's an aluminum in there and guess what when you apply it It probably goes into your system transdermally Which is through the skin? Transdermally, you know, I had a nurse practitioner here the other day and she oh Friend of mine has a gas problem But she says why don't you tell I want to take on Tom's. Oh, sure I come this for you know and after you know what they do they say oh, it's a great calcium source calcium carbon. Yeah Calcium carbonate, but you don't want the aluminum. No, I mean, it's true If the aluminum wasn't in Tom's and you got that whopping dose of calcium carbonate I would say you know what use it as a calcium supplement, but you know It just Just be an educated consumer people That's your best bet, but anyway, let us sink our teeth into the greetings You know I'm probably gonna use this cartoon on the show It's a pirate ship and they're making Poor low-income sick people, you know, I cooked up to IV and everything and walking the plank I thought they were gonna roll a boat No, no, they have them they have them the Republicans You know like your Paul Ryan's and they have him walking the plank and it has it says something really clever on the Plank and on the pirate ship you know You know, it's kind of like the cartoon where Donald Trump Says to the patient in in on the hospital gurney. Don't worry. You're covered and meanwhile. He's covering the person's face You know like when somebody croaks Let me die. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's like that. All right, but I hope Someone from the Trump camp can explain to me Why I should not be very afraid of What is going on with the repeal and replace the affordable care act? Oh, yeah, the Ryan says You don't there is no need to worry. There's no need to be of course. Yes Republicans in the House of Representatives passed health care legislation That the president immediately celebrated without a hat a bash in the rose garden at that time It didn't seem to matter That the more moderate US Senate had not acted on the proposed bill of law President Trump touted the legislation as fair to everyone and Glotted about it for weeks thereafter Recently I'm guessing that an aid sat down next to our leader and Read him the words in the bill Because now this same man says the bill is mean He it's cruel. I Don't want to be mean myself, but on the what level is this a functioning and a Effective leader This is not the only example of the chaos in the White House Our president changes his mind based only on to whom he has last spoken Why is this okay? Why am I told to get over it? No matter the latest buffoonery From an individual clearly unable to function in In his job. Yeah, his his attention span is very very limited folk where we spoke to last I don't know if it's trying to be liked by everyone trying to seek approval from everyone Trying to make everyone happy including the scumbag Republicans Well, it is It is that everything that happens to him is The greatest ever in history. Oh, yeah, he's the greatest president I've ever lived. Yeah, everything he does is the greatest in history Yes, everything so of course Everything is a witch hiding so everything is Anyone anybody who is out It criticizes him or is investigating him is fake news is is is involved in a witch hunt. It's a witch hunt. Yes. Yes You know So if he lies Let's say if you let's say he lies under oath which might have happened Which might have happened already because he's Donald Trump. He feels that it's okay for him to do that Because he's really special In a daylight tweet storm on Thursday Donald Trump criticized reports that he is now under investigation for obstruction of justice in connection with the firing of FBI director James Coleman Now James. Call me is James. Call me is singing like a canary. I think announcing it as another witch hunt That is unfairly targeting him Of course unfairly They made up a phony collusion with the Russian story They found zero proof So now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story Trump tweeted nice What nice Nice, you know, he puts the nice little thing after the end of his tweet Trump followed up about an hour later With another critical tweet Here you are witnessing the single greatest Witch hunt in American political history led by some very bad and conflicted people Very bad nearly eight hours later Trump again complained about being singled out and Brought up his Democratic critics Including 2016 election opponent Hillary Clinton Well, that's a big distraction to get people off his back That took to drag Hillary into it now. Hey, even his daughter Ivanka said Washington, D.C. Hmm is is is mean and cruel. She had no idea how cruel Washington You know, so anyway, why is it? That Hillary Clinton's family and Dems Dealings with Russia are not looked at but my non-dealings are Hey Throughout 2016 all I did was see articles online from WikiLeaks and Anonymous and and and and everyone else about dealings about about dealings about the election frauds and this that and the other thing and Mysterious murders that were mysterious mysterious suicides quote-unquote of certain people Blah blah blah list goes on and on and on. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but but Justice was never served No one was ever brought to justice Trump then tweeted about Clinton's use of private email account While Secretary of State. Well, yeah, he needs to get get the get the heat off of him So she was not charged after a Justice Department investigation Associates of Clinton and other Democrats Have not been linked to what US intelligence officials described as a Russian effort to influence the 2016 election By hacking email accounts of Democratic Party officials Trump Who has denied any kind of collusion with Russia? Appear to be responding to a Washington Post report That special prosecutor Robert Moore is Interviewing senior intelligence officials as part of a widening probe that now includes an Examination of whether President Trump Attempted to obstruct justice while the Justice Department appointed Mueller To investigate Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and any links to the Trump campaign His assignment also includes Any matters that arose or may arise from the Russia probe Colby Told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he believes Trump fired him Last month because he resisted a Request to drop the Russia investigation Especially as it related to former national security advisor Michael Flynn Trump said at one point that he fired Comey For poor performance, so he also reportedly told a group of Russian officials That the Comey dismissive Would help get the Russia probe behind him He also called home comey a nut job Okay, home is a nut job Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Appointed Mueller as special counsel Shortly after Comey's firing Rosenstein acted because general Attorney General Jeff Assessions had recused himself in the Russia investigation After it was revealed he had two meetings with Russian ambassadors Sergei Kisselack Before the November election Sergei kissed my ass News that Mueller is now investigating Trump For a destruction of justice Comes a big reports that Trump has discussed Whether to remove the special counsel White House officials said the president is not considering such a step Vice President Mike Pence Has hired a private lawyer to help him respond to questions raised by the special counsel Investigating interaction between the Trump campaign and Russia Pence communications director Jared Agon Confirmed on Thursday that Pence Hired Richard Cullen Former U.S. Attorney Who's chairman of McGuire woods woods a Washington based law firm the vice president is focused entirely on his duties and Promoting the president agenda and looks forward to the president agenda Excuse me and looks forward to a swift conclusion of this matter Agon said the news was first reported by the Washington post the u.s. Has one of the world's largest health disparities between the rich and the poor behind only Chile and Portugal oh absolutely and its health care system and Lack of social supports are to blame Researchers examining surveys on health and income from people in 32 countries Found poor Americans Reported worse health than rich u.s. Residents in significant numbers Of the poorest third, excuse me of Americans 38.2% reported fair or poor health Compared with just 12.3% of the richest third Leaving the u.s. In the bottom three of the nation's exam according to the Harvard study Published in the June issue of health affairs the gap is caused by several factors Including the high number of uninsured in the country particularly before implementation of the Obama care there are much higher out-of-pocket costs per person in the United States Then you typically see in other places And the way those out-of-pocket costs are distributed is less equitable So people who are poor Are less able to afford health insurance that is generous as a result. They tend to be more exposed To the high costs of the u.s. Health care system, but that's not the whole picture Elizabeth H. Bradley a professor of public health at Yale and the faculty director of Yale global health leadership Institute was not involved in the study Said another issue may be society itself The u.s. Provides fewer social safety net That is services and programs That help prevent people from falling into poverty When we look at other high-income countries And see how much of the GDP the different Countries spend on things like income support housing and nutrition u.s. Is much much lower So the richest country in the world is a cheapskate not only in terms of Doing anything positive for its people ah including low-income people but and Including its veterans but also a cheapskate a cheap bastard in terms of Public transportation the rail system is Is full of dinosaurs Compared to the rest of the world the rail system light rails and such You know they have the high speed of bullet trains and mono rails and we have Amtrak Which derails every so many miles And it's very uncomfortable And much slower of course Than the bullet has to slow down all the time for the bad track even China you know has a much better rail system in the United States Much more modern Not that everybody can use it of course because you know There's a big economy over there. It only serves about maybe a hundred million people What do you mean serves? I think I well over a billion people in the country So so in other words when you're talking about the income of China the Chinese I Don't know what they charge to to take their their bullet train and in the mail No, but what I'm saying is only about a hundred million people can take part in that stuff Well, I have a higher income people. I have a friend Who is not an elitist by any means? It's from Shanghai has a good office job that takes the train to and from work and That doesn't complain about it. You know, I mean, oh by the way speaking of Shanghai. I watched the documentary Interviewing the architect that designed the Shanghai Tower. What a what a beautiful skyscraper that is and and it's earthquake resistant and It's designed to Allow a lot of the sunlight Into it is it is artistically very aesthetic pleasing to the eye Very modern-looking and it has well it has to have the ability to Move a little bit in sway. I mean, I guess that that's how it becomes earthquake Resistant you can't have a rigid building, but it's a beautiful building. I mean are taller than anything that the Western Hemisphere has heaven forbid an American Company should build The world's tallest skyscraper, you know, they were real cheapskates when they build the The the New World Trade Center in lower Manhattan They only it only surpasses Chicago's Well, it's not the Sears Tower anymore It's another there's another name But all right, let's just call it the Sears Tower for now. It only surpasses it because of the spire The antenna or whatever you mean caught a spire in New York Yeah, yeah, there's a building in Dubai That's that's the tallest building in the world the Shanghai building. I think it's number two Shanghai Tower Yeah, that's a real funny name now, but originally it was the Sears Tower in Chicago Yeah, you don't you don't beat another building because of an extended Antenna like object you stick on the roof That's like that's like cheating. That's like that's like putting a prosthetic nose on your racehorse Yeah, I'm winning winning by a no winning by a nose, right Put one of those, you know the the big schnazzola that came with the eyeglasses. Yeah. Yeah look like groucho marks Yeah, you put that on your horse. I won by won by your nose. Oh Man, but um, that's not the way you do it now in in 20 next year, I think the The Nordstrom Tower which is by Central Park is supposed to Surpass any building in the Western Hemisphere The the brand-new Nordstrom Tower the world's tallest Apartment building well condos, whatever. Yeah. All right, go ahead Wherever you can get it this week or in a few days Weep brand Course it didn't seem to be at shop, right? It didn't seem seen To be to be Gotcha Well, I know I know of that Bob's Red Mill, yeah, that's the one always has a good one. That's the one that's usually there course The in my opinion the best weep brand is the course one Yeah, it's a little better than the It's smaller smaller. Yeah, it's it's a it's a it's a larger and wider broom Yeah On an angle to sweep more debris Put it in a nice way for the show It's it's it's a colonic evacuator a natural colonic evacuator but there is It's an insoluble fiber as opposed to soluble fiber, which is found in legumes O'bran being yeah, that's what I said. Yeah beans for you for you common folk out there beans and peas Perhaps the most controversial elements of the Trump administration's budget is The proposal to reduce Supplemental nutrition assistance program food stamps. Yeah snap. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah Well, you know well yeah 25% who care that's quite a bit Who cares if the poor if the poor eat or not, but they don't they don't care Capitalists don't care Or $193 billion over the next 10 years well more money for the To stuff in their pockets and again to give to their to their To their elite Corporate friends what pisses me off There's 44 million people on food stamps And to hear the Republicans talk These are all Mooters and frauds. It's only 2% of the total budget the point is Why would 44 million people be on there? It's care. It certainly can't be fraud. No, no and in order It is very very Difficult to cheat. Yeah, the welfare system nowadays They are very strict They have they have deliberately Reformed their system To only allow those that are worthy those that qualify receive social services you I will be very shocked if any if anyone these days is able to fool The welfare case workers and to cheat the system, right? So how can there be 40? Would you say 44? 44 million cheaters and mooches No, no, no, they just don't want to help the poor Period at all they don't want to give you anything right Hey, if there is Who who who went out there Fighting for those poppy fields in Afghanistan and for big oil if they're not willing to Help them and what makes you think they want to help? I'm not a non-veteran poor person exactly No, they want to do one or two things They want to enslave you in a privatized prison or they want you to drop dead If you're poor Call me yeah, go ahead column A or column B spending for food stamps quadrupled Reaching 70 billion dollars last year because there's no fucking job market in the United States. That's another thing That's what I'm saying. That's another reason that the Republicans like to tell People go get a job you bum. Hey, why don't you go get a job Republican congressman? You'll get a job you you work less than than part-time hours on a hundred and seventy You don't know what you're talking about on a hundred and seventy five thousand a year not counting perks So put some homework in you know Yeah, now who's the mooch or what do you think about it? Food stamp enrollment skyrocketed during Barack Obama's presidency because the administration believed That maximizing handouts would maximize prosperity They like to call it handouts if you're poor if you're if you're if you're rich getting free money It's it's a subsidy You're being subsidized every five dollars in new food stamp benefits Generates as much as nine dollars of economic activity Because the little guy puts a lot of money into the economy Not the fat cat The fat cat only makes up for what two percent of the top population And how many refrigerators can they buy? No, no, and how many how many how much revenue in in in sales taxes on yachts Or whatever the hell else they or property taxes on on on their beach houses Can be accumulated how much revenue can you accumulate from that so? The feds a bank rolled food stamp recruiting campaigns a North Carolina social services agency Won a hunger champions award hunger check for attacking mountain pride As a reason to avoid government handouts In Alabama taking food stamps was marketed as patriotic And the administration effectively suspended the three-month limit For able-bodied adults without dependence to collect foods Well, it's yeah, yeah, it's not just being able able bodied. Yeah, there has to be a job waiting for you, too You can be able bodied and be sitting home with your thumbs up your ass With no place to work And we yeah 2008 the 2010 The number of able-bodied recipients doubled According to the Congressional Research Service out of touch man Government is out of touch with reality The food stamp poster boy of 2013 was Jason green slate a 29 year old surfer Who declared that he avoids work and Uses his monthly food stamp allotments To purchase as much sushi and lobster as $200 can buy That's that's the Republican poster boy Yeah against Not not not a single mother Trying to raise her her kids and she can't get child support out of the old man and she's struggling and not her Yeah, she's not a poster, but if the guy real Unlike the welfare queen under Reagan's who's like Kato Kalin if this guy is real Yeah, then whose fault is it that he's getting two hundred dollars a month Is or the social worker the case for well if if he's entitled to He's not entitled he's able bodied able bodied He doesn't want to work. He wants to you know, it's a bang on the drum all day like like the real rocks on Well Yeah, you got to blame the case worker. Absolutely. You don't blame You don't blame look it's like if somebody if somebody's a homeowner and they have a big Doghouse that they're they're late great day and used to occupy and they and they and they put an advertisement doghouse for rent 700 hours a month Who do you who do you really blame you? The landlord or the sucker that pays 700 hours a month for the doghouse Then it's off to the beach Green slate touted his gourmet purchases. I hope he exists all paid for by our wonderful tax dollars It's free food. It's awesome Hey, go to Washington and look at all the pastries and and and organic Foods and and and and really top of the line food that our congressmen and congresswomen and Senators partake in Free from paid by taxpayers They could most certainly afford to pay for their own food a Retirement plan health insurance These are many of them are multi-millionaire and multi-billionaires that that have like You might as well say they have like a Lifetime secure job. Yes in there because they keep on getting re-elected They can pay the pension they could pay for their own In a retirement account like I just said food retirement accounts health insurance policies You know, I know so I know a self-employed individual that pays $500 a month for a mediocre Health insurance policy and and and this person runs a business that sells tires Not not a not a big shot like the one like the congressmen and senators the Republicans and in Washington now So you know they can afford to support themselves that they don't need To mooch off of the taxpayers Or do they need a raise every year Guaranteed that they do not give to the people No, they'll cut food stands, but they'll give the lazy basses will give themselves an automatic raise every year Correct by working less than part-time hours. That's correct. Okay. There you go. Hippocrates Trump budget director Mick Mulvaney Declared last month that you are on food stamps and you are able-bodied we need you to go to work Yeah, you hear that Republican Congress. We need you to go to work The Trump administration proposes phasing in work requirements For able-bodied adults without dependent able body Yeah, yeah work. Yeah, give them a job. Where's the job you jerk-offs. They're all outsourced No, I thought that was already infiltrated since 1996. H1B Newt Gingrich and Clinton. Yeah, and now and now we have H1B Visa Professional immigrants being imported that worked cheaper in the United States So there's no job market This is a good first step for a program that swayed Too many Americans to work less Studies have shown that single mothers married fathers And families across the board work less When they're on food stamps. Oh, yeah, you can't you can't pay your bills with food stamps by the way jerk-offs But do they work less? Because they if they get the job They'll lose the food stamps their benefit they listen if you if you make Over a thousand if your income is over a thousand dollars a month. You're too wealthy for Medicaid So the government the right-wing government rather thinks that if you get over a thousand dollars a month Even if it's a little bit over that you can pay for your own medical expenses Boy, how realistic is that? The Trump administration also proposes Requiring state governments to begin covering a share of the costs Oh, yeah, they like they like the states to take over Everything and if it happens to be if you happen to have a Republican Administration running your state well guess what you May have to move out of your state if you're poor in addition to the share of Administrative costs that they already pay Currently state governments have little or no incentives To police the program because losses from fraud or waste Don't come out of state budget. Hey, there's two magic words fraud and waste Gee, it's not only the poor that can be guilty of that Unfortunately such an idea is likely dead on Capitol Hill the most important reason to curtail food stamp enrollment is Because the program is a dietary disaster Disaster you you you you buy you can buy food in stores that sell food. You cannot buy food that's From a restaurant or a fast food. I don't even want to call them restaurants a fast food place You can't use food stamps there So, you know, I mean If they want to arrange it so People cannot buy cookies and cake and candy With food stamps. Hey, that'll cut that'll cut down on American obesity epidemic right there You can't buy pet food With food stamps so hell if they really want to save money Just omit junk Walter Willis Chair of Harvard University's Department of Nutrition the Willis Tower. That's what the Sears Tower is called now the Willis You just you just Yeah observed in 2015 We've analyzed what food stamp participants are eating and it's horrible food Because it's they can get more They're because they're limited in the amount of food stamps they receive so they have to stretch it out So therefore they buy if they have a family to support They buy cheaper food and the cheaper food is the crappy food It's a guy that is it's a diet Designed to produce obesity and diabetes What the fuck did they want the if the poor person has a child More than one one child Now they the the budget that they have to live on is more strict. It's a tighter budget They have to stretch the food stamps if they get let's say I know someone who has two children and that He's getting a certain amount of food stamps and The the welfare caseworker wanted to Cut her food stamps by 50% And she has children 50% okay, so if she cuts her food stamps by 50% Well, then this mother has to live on a much tighter budget So she has to stretch it She has to stretch those food stamps and what happens when you go to a store would rip off prices like most stores in America Well, you end up buying cheap crappy food and the money food stamps Runs out before the end of the month Once it's gone. It's gone. It's gone You gotta you know, you gotta wait that you can't have any food you gotta wait till the to the next month They roll around right sure. I mean, you know, that's why you see I mean it is a good idea and it is as You are benefiting poor people by Arranging it so they don't End up using their their food stamps on Kool-aid and cookies and cake and candy And then you know snack foods potato chips and pretzels and such I mean, you know you are You are severely cutting into the obesity problem you know, I mean you already Cannot use food stamps at Burger King or McDonald's. You can't do that. You can't buy pet food. So, you know So cut out the junk So at 2017 study Published in BMC public health food found That food stamp recipients were twice as likely to be obese as Eligible non-recipients also eligible non-recipients Never buy the wrong food never consume the wrong food No, never. So there's no there's no there is no obese person that is middle-class or financially independent or Working a full-time job Not living in poverty. No, nobody nobody ever eats crap Only poor people buy and eat crap according to this Individually Well, unless you're the surfer who buys sushi and lobster He's a surfer. He has to stay in shade He has to be able to balance on that surfboard man cowabunga Whatever they say, yeah, the surfer. How come he doesn't enter, you know contests Contests and everything as a job. Maybe he's not that good. He doesn't want to lose his benefit Maybe he's a he's what they call a beach bum Yeah, yeah beach Comer now we're talking Donald Trump on the beach would be a beach Comer because of his hair, you know, but no, maybe he's a beach bum They had those why is the beach Frankie Avalon movies remember them They were on the beach. Oh my god the bathing suits they were all covered up There was there were no string bikinis or G strings or anything, but the question is why would a You know surfer able-bodied and etc be making more food stamps than someone who is poor and eligible If you're poor and eligible that's the point it makes more sense that you you should get more food stamps than the damn surfer Do I? Obviously, he's got a better case worker than you Maybe he's doing The case worker it is easy to understand why 2016 Department of Agriculture report revealed that soft drinks and Other sweetened beverages are the most common purchase in food stamp households I wonder why they call it a carbonated drinks are called soft drinks I mean anything that's liquid feel soft. I got a look. It's no alcohol. Oh Soft no, no no soft drinks are carbon are strictly carbonated beverages. Yeah, but there's no alcohol That's why it's soft Remember the guy what ice tea is not a soft drink Why not lemonade is not a soft drink soft drinks are our soda is soda Yeah, well women ate a soda ice tea is soda Stars are you listening to this jabroni over here? Remember the guy soda? How could I lemonade be soda? Where are the bubbles? Where are the bubbles man? You can carbonate anything. All right. All right. All right, but let's not waste let's not waste time Debating over silly members the old cowboy. He walks into the bar Yeah, that's it. That's it. Yeah. Hey Barilla hold on Hey, horse. Oh no, no Bill Morrill likes to use the word horse. Hey partner Can I have a tall cold glass of sarsasper really? This is a sarsasper really And that was more like Amarillo, Texas and that was a woman's drink You know, oh, yeah, they'd make they'd make fun of you in a salon exactly the guy Yeah, that's like when when buddy epson is barnaby jones used to order a tall glass of cold milk There you go. Yeah, he saw a glass of milk Oh god accounting for sodas account for 10 percent of monthly expenditures desserts Salty snacks candy and sugar account for another 10 so they are they are buying 80 percent of food food itself The trump reform proposal ignores the easiest way to save more than 100 billion dollars Prohibit using food stamps for junk food Hey, I didn't even read the article. I must be psychic Food stamps should be remodeled along the lines of the women infant and children program Gosh, which distributes coupons Redeemable only for relatively healthy food. Yeah, instead of taking food out of the mouths of poor people and poor children Just reform it so they can't buy garbage food a 2014 Stanford University study concluded that prohibiting the use of food stamps for sugary drinks would Prevent 141,000 kids from becoming fat Yeah, um, oh by the way, Dr. Reverend the Reverend Dr. Bill was right I think it stopped raining and it's it's clearing it's clear now And it would save a quarter million adults from diabetes There you go. There you go. You're doing them a favor you're doing The fat bastard's a favor And the obese children which in my opinion is child abuse Carpet bombing people with subsidized calories Can cause collateral benefit carpet bombing collateral young children in low-income families are more than 50 percent more likely to be obese Then those in other families according to the report So instead of able-bodied they they have too much of a body celebrity bells Republican and democratic governors and former New York City mayor michael bloomberg pleaded With the usda to allow them to restrict soft drinks The usda said Oh really no Because because of maybe the us uh food industry that makes the garbage Is it was probably a freedom issue? Oh, okay Okay. Okay. Hey, you know, I just had a funny thought I can picture a governor chris christy preaching about you know Being anti-obesity. I just thought that was a funny thought anyway There are hungry children and adults in this nation And the government can't assist them without subverting private work ethics or public health But there is no constitutional right To free junk food. Listen, you can't buy Certain edible things like pet food And fast food With snap You already cannot buy them with the food stamps. So What's the big deal if you throw cake cookies and candy? And potato chips and pretzels in with that Right I mean big deal You're actually doing these people a favor by by You know helping by um Encouraging better eating habits trumps proposed food stamp reforms are a clean break From the obama era fantasy That handouts will make america rich No, obama. I highly doubt if barack obama ever said that That handout. Well, yeah handouts to uh corporate welfare handouts Will only make them rich rich air. Yeah America rich not the mainstream Okay, listen, we're gonna break for lunch By the way, that is a very sharp-looking shirt.

Well, let me tell you something They must have been doing something right to be around since 1829 Yeah You know and it's uh, it's light years better Than any nationally advertised cheap crappy mass produced american beer that you see advertising on tv If you got the time we got the beer.

Oh, yeah liquor stores liquor stores always have posters of uh very attractive uh scantily clad young women and if they have um If they have a girl given out samples of something she's always young and attractive Like there was a young and attractive polish girl uh giving out uh little shots of this uh imported polish vodka Because the liquor store not far from me there is in a town with a very large polish community and there's lots of vodka there and um You know she was giving out samples of vodka And uh, she's very she's quite pretty she's tall blonde, you know very nordic looking northern european looking uh in her 20s Very friendly, uh, of course, what is she gonna be unfriendly?

Yeah me want to They're just doing commercials. Anyway, go ahead Letter writers shout out How to get rid of trump Talk of impeachment The unconstitutional muslim band Or how the russians undermine the election Yeah, it's almost like how much time do you have there's so many uh impeachable offenses, right? What are these juvenile boorish americans talking about? What are these americans trying to do? They can't deal with the fact that someone Not of their ilk And certainly someone Who should never have been cut become president Did that while they were all playing with the future? And the lives of fellow americans And not paying attention To their interests and needs So Those fellow americans struck back Finally Now these losers Who are on both sides of the aisle by the way And who inhabit the worlds of both entertainment and media are gasping Grasping excuse me at any excuse or fantasy Fake news legitimate blunders and faux pas to find a strategy to get rid of trouble There's so a reason the opera Seems to be to make fun Of a legitimate winner A legitimate winner now. That's a very interesting term legitimate winner Threaten him and anyone else associated with him. He's only a legitimate winner Because uh bernie sanders got screwed He is really the true In a fair world the true uh president of the united states If if our system was honest and fair And and not raked To undermine any effort however small To reach a level of courtesy cooperation Understand That will help our country achieve real progress And prosperity for all its citizens excuse me prosperity for all its citizens all even after you cut all the help from the poor And take food out of their mouths and and and um It will make them stronger And and and lie about bringing jobs back to united states when jobs Are being replaced by um foreign workers Interesting these writers need to wake up grow up and understand it 47 percent Of the people don't agree with them And their tactics And in the long run their childish whining Device of behaviors will only serve to undermine our country. Yeah. Well, that's another word besides fake news that um The guilty people that are under fire use divisiveness You're trying to divide americans. It's almost as um ridiculous as a turtle face bitch mcconnell Saying that the american people are looking to stand for that remember You always say american people are on his with his job Excuse me. What is jowls? Wiggling the american the american people are looking to stand for that yet that robert mission way of talking, you know American people are never gonna stand. How does he know what the american people want? or need Or think they're not going to stand for it american people are on his side Listen the evangelical zealot freaks that voted for mitch mcconnell Maybe they're not going to stand for anything positive But the majority of americans Uh, uh, unfortunately That didn't mosey on over to the polls to vote and that's another very, uh Serious american problem. Yeah, the people that don't vote Or maybe were prevented from voting because of some ridiculous Uh voter id a lot that was put on low-income minority americans When when in reality all you need is your, uh, motor vehicles digital photo id Because you have to show your your birth certificate to get it You can't get it without your birth certificate So therefore that makes that id the only one you really need I mean Right or if you're if you're an immigrant who received a permanent green card Or whoever who received citizenship Document or no, I think you get it. Yeah, you get a card, right? If you're an immigrant you get a card No, what do you get a certificate? Welcome to the united states blah blah blah And uh, your name is on it. Okay I mean To make poor people pay extra for a voter id Is a obstruction voter obstructionism But uh, that has what republicans have been guilty of For years Because they know that when a low-income person or even a mainstream american votes Nine times out of ten If they're minority if they're female if they're a young person Low-income especially low-income Nine times out of ten they will vote Democrat they or they will vote for The progressive candidate if it happens to be The green party or independent or whatever they won't vote republican. Let's put it that way They will not vote republican and they know it The GOP knows that So they throw monkey wrenches. They throw all these roadblocks At the uh poor, but you know what? Nobody does anything about it This business as usual continues good If there was an election for New jersey governor held this week Governor christie would lose To former state senator barbara wonald Oh gosh, i'm glad you brought this up go ahead christie's approval ratings have fallen that low Christie was not charged with any crime relating to bridgegate The tag name for the ill-fated scheme To divert traffic near the george washington bridge Has political payback to the mayor of fort lee But christie cannot escape bridgegate The scandal follows him like a brain cloud Does the fictional Ior In winnie the pooh drip drip drip Bridgegate is why he is not the vice president he liked There is hardly a person in the jersey who believes christie Has been truthful about what he knew and when But there appears to be no smoking gun If u.s. Attorney paul fishman Failed to find evidence directly linking christie To the planning of the traffic mess In fort lee it probably does not exist That does not negate Everything learned during the trial of the two Former top christie aids bill baroni And bridget and kelly bill baroni bony moroni The tales of an angry ill tempered chief executive Who far allowed his office and the port authority of new york i knew jersey To become highly pohleta sides for one purpose And one purpose only Furthering chris christie's political career That Was odious But as it relates to the governor directly it does not appear to have been criminal So it is hard to be enthusiastic about state senator loretta weinberg's request last week The t-neck democrat A vocal christie foe Called on the assembly to begin impeachment proceedings In a statement on thursday she said In light of testimony From the trial And the governor's public statement I am requesting the assembly speaker consider impeachment The outcome of which could deny christ christie The benefit of office And correct the public record To reflect the evidence provided in His federal court trial Okay The allegations of federal prosecutors and statements of witnesses Who testified under oath cannot go unanswered And impeaching chris christie would bar him From further public service in this state He wants more public service After eight years of governor. Yeah, he wanted to be vice president Oh, oh, oh public sir. Oh, okay at a national level Yeah, and and uh, why do you think he was hanging around with trumpy there in the beginning donald trump With that face donald trump. Yeah with that that that sad sack look on his face that jonald trump forgot all about A little chubsy-ubsy And he used to he called him my friend chris He used to call him right my friend chris chris christie my buddy. Yeah, okay On a practical level impeachment is almost a no starter Christy is expected to leave new jersey soon enough He led donald trump's transition team Although he was demoted by trump on friday Yeah, because of maybe because of bridge gate That was taking place at the time but then again bridge gate Never Never became anything apparently Yet trump is notoriously loyal Exactly where christie May land is unknown, but It would be a surprise if he landed back in trend not even not even a cabinet Uh appointee by donald trump Forget about, you know, uh Yeah, uh vice president not not not even not even no no federal position on donald trump's administration The governor should still find a place somewhere inside The trump administration Listen chris christie between him and his wife They're multi-millionaires They really don't have to work So don't feel sorry for them That is not a reason to take impeachment off the table If christie did something that could be proven As an impeachable act the legislature has a responsibility to act But it comes back to the bridge gate trial no Offered a direct link And without that impeachment would be nothing more Than a political exercise On the part of demigods An exercise that would no doubt exercise Republicans in new jersey And nationally to rally behind The most improbable of champions chris chris Trying to impeach someone with about a year left in office Who was not charged by a u.s. Attorney would look like The political grandstanding it would be that may be called comfort to democrats And too many new jerseyans who feel betrayed Like christie the crusader one year Year and a half He has a year and a half left Oh, I think it's only a year and a half. Oh boy. Yeah, but to replace chris christie with a Wall street boy from goldman sacks Doesn't sound uh Like the kind of change new jersey needs Oh, no, it doesn't sound very progressive to me But excuse me people Assembly Majority Leader Lou Greenwald Issued a statement in response to Weinberg's The calls for an impeachment hearing Are irresponsible And a non-starter irresponsible, so we have a uh, he's a a democrat I take it Who this uh, um majority speaker Greenwald, yes, he's a democrat. So he he wants to leave christie alone Okay Well, he's another democrat that does is not a progressive In new jersey sounds like a pattern to me Okay, where you getting but you get buzz from the beer Okay, I'm trying to keep up here. Oh, okay. I'm sorry you put your finger put your finger as you read I know I'm I know we're on reading your knuckle. You're knuckle. I'm just trying to read ahead The calls for an impeachment hearing are irresponsible. Yes As we have collectively discussed as a nation since thursday n Tuesday night It's time to get started healing our states and coming together as a nation When has that happened? Yeah, it sounds like that hipster kumbaya crap to me Greenwald said We have a great deal of important issues to tackle in new jersey from Affordability to job creation And I look forward to working together To solve those problems And improve the quality of life for our residents greenwald's rendition of kumbaya Yeah, I didn't even read this article. I'm telling you man. I'm a soothsayer. I I should be like no stradamus. I should start was gazing into a bowl of water They call it scrying wait a bowl of beer. They call it scrying Uh, um, which can be done with black up city into the stone or water. You have bowl of beer. Yeah Hey No exaggeration. We're fine. The the singer share used to go to a psychic from new jersey Known as the bread lady. She used to tear pieces of bread and throw them in the water and And get visions see visions. She was actually she was actually quite good Quite accurate Where did she live? She was uh, she she was from bergain county, new jersey up here. Yeah, I think her last name was fiorale The bread lady the infamous bread lady. She was very accurate She told her uh her niece To stay off motorcycles and her niece didn't listen and she got killed Well, that's nice Well the bread lady She told uh My cousin augustine that you were going to uh go on a bus tour to florida and you will meet your future husband Uh with the with the first initial j And she ended up marrying a guy named james And share liked her The kumbaya sounds a little flat to my ears Yeah, like like uh like flat beer like flat cheap beer There's some grandstanding going on there as well But he is correct when he notes that there are pressing issues Facing the state the financial collapse of the latic city The public pension mess And the safety failures of new jersey transit I respect wine birds commitment to getting to the truth Of bridgegate. She has been a tireless advocate for north jersey residents Who were directly affected by the lane closure She doesn't quit That is a good thing But as unsatisfying as it may be To anyone who has seen new jersey sink lower and lower these past seven years Impeaching christie is not possible There is no will for it in the legislature And nobody is brought to justice that happens to be filthy rich And there just isn't Unimpeachable evidence to impeach and come If for some reason christie is not offered a spot In the trump administration it will be hard going for him He would have few allies in new jersey He and his i-hore rain cloud Would be solitary champions Come in uh companions excuse me Inside the state house drip drip drip trump is unpredictable He may do with wine bird cannot Diminish christie that wouldn't be impeachment But it would be just desserts Just desserts for a man who absolutely loves desserts Boy, I come up with a good one every now and then All right There's now um, I just want to say I wanted that I want to dedicate This week's show to the lake rate actor adam west and also to the very much alive Former president of the united states jimmy carter because I read an article where jimmy carter Went and shook shook shook the hand of everyone on the airline that He happened to be on and and chatted with everyone and was very very friendly. He is a great guy He's and a great humanitarian as well Former president jimmy carter You know, I don't I don't that for humanity right habit after humanity houses for the poor physically out there Hammering nails and you know what? people criticize them they put them down but You know, he's a genuinely great human being so Between adam west and former president jimmy carter Uh I dedicate the show to you too And uh, do we have any so-called change of pace or environmental or animal? animal oriented readings, uh, I don't see any. Is there any ridiculous? Amy Dickinson or Dear abby, uh, I don't see any stuff. So that's it Unless you unless you have one I have a long one. So it might not you know what let's uh If it's a long good one You think it's worth saving for next week or yes, of course. It's a lot. It it it consists of a universal topic Uh, yeah, taxes. Yes, that's pretty universal Especially since the rich don't pay their fair share. Yeah, that's it Thank you. Thank you people for joining us for progressive discussions as you can see Around us. This is a grassroots revolution internet talk show Um Some might call it low budget, but I don't care. It's all about content content Excuse me And uh, thank you for joining us and uh um I just want to say that the next major election As for what I understand there are many congressional and possibly also senatorial seats up for election and re-election So it's very Very very important that all americans Take the little bit of time that it takes out of your schedule to vote because We have to uh, whether it be independent progressives or Democrats we have to take back the house and the senate and uh And then worry about trump in 2020 But uh, this election is uh, way before 2020 Yeah, so Okay, all right, and and also Many progressives that are associated With the group the organization our revolution started by uh, senator bernie sanders and uh, jeff weaver Have won their elections in various states Believe it or not. There are progressives even In southern and western states You just don't hear about them Because the uh, all the right-wing evangelical Religious nuts don't want you To know that they exist They the media the so-called liberal media keeps them Um off Off their uh, their list of reporting reported subjects They're not mentioned so Um Someone From that works for uh optimum cable And had a news 12 new jersey, uh Employee badge and knocked on my knocked on my door To try to get me to switch back to optimum from Verizon uh files And of course they ought they sweetened the deal But uh, I told the woman Exactly how I felt about the local news And how they uh keep on repeating Not only the same subjects, but all trivial subjects To distract Uh new jersey residents from hearing Important things what's really going on All right, uh, they kind of they'll throw in a couple important Objects, but it's mostly Nonsense it's not the heavy-duty information that The public should be hearing the she agree agreed with me. She said she is a Progressive that follows the underground internet news She is a um She's a big time progressive and Believer in many conspiracy theories, and she just can't Express herself publicly She works for them So it's kind of like the uh the news media we have now in america You know, they can't tell you how they really feel Or not if they're being paid by a big corporation somebody's signing their paycheck.
