 Okay, this scarf is strictly for fashion mine is for warmth. I don't feel cold because well I was I felt I was freezing This morning, but right now outside here in northeast New Jersey. It feels like Cinco de Mayo 59 59 that's Cinco de Mayo enough for me next best thing to have in the wonderful Cinco de Mayo food and frozen margaritas now for those of you before anyone Criticizes and asks questions about my right eye Looking differently From my left eye. I had a procedure. I had a up a Ocular procedure done on my right eye, and it got swollen But it is getting better. So before I hear crap like some teabag or post is something under one of our old videos When they when the camera people used to be on that side of the studio, you know what I mean and down. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, and that was some remark like Yeah, you know, you know like you know like conservatives. How's your How well did did your Hillary do? Hey, she's not my Hillary. I said I told I I typed I didn't support her I Was a Bernie. I was a Bernie crack. I'm with a Democratic Socialist. I didn't support Hillary, you know I mean, but they don't they don't give you anything Scientific anything intelligent. It's always a very a very petty You know get under your skin push your buttons try to agitate you name-calling kind of thing That you never get any intellect and speaking of a lack of intellect. I Don't know if the Trump administration is the world's largest mental institution Or the world's largest reality show But after hearing his press conference Not too long ago Two days ago, I think two days ago. I didn't know whether or not to to a laugh profusely or to shake my head in embarrassment and Shame so I I mean, I'm sure many of you listen to it and you know He picks and chooses from the press who he wants to hear from He cuts you off if you if you begin to criticize him He calls you fake news if you if you criticize him and if you if you compliment him and You you tell him nice things then he loves you If you kiss his ass, he loves you Sounds a lot sounds a lot Excuse me. It sounds a lot like a monarch to me Well, I told you bad before his mother treated him like a king. He's got a gold toilet He's got gold all around him, but when he shits, he's not shitting gold bricks. I mean, oh, he believes himself to be a king Shit he he deposits a 24 carat gold plated turds Yeah, well, you know, he doesn't want to hear criticism, but you know what? The dirt a lot of it. Haha. No matter how much you try to hide the dirt it will Always find a way to show itself as it builds up and starts to stink and starts to To come to the surface of the of the water and it'll it all shows itself eventually It doesn't drain the small note now Well when you drain the swamp in the case of the Trump administration, you have nothing but bottom feeders left now getting getting To the bottom feeders and to the the Trump cabinet you have people that Are quitting are resigning you have people that are getting fired by Donald Trump You have people that refuse to work for Donald Trump and the and the Trump administration so Hey, it's almost like celebrity apprentice You know, you're fine. You're fired. You're fired You're fired. Right. So in other words, they have people have to walk on eggshells They they cannot make any decisions for the department that they're running. They have to they have to run everything by Donald Trump before to make any decisions like like they have no Managerial responsibilities whatsoever. He has to give them the okay for everything and Pretty much people don't want to work for his administration and and then he Even pissed off Republicans now But What do we have to look forward to if it wasn't if Donald Trump? Was removed then we have the lunatic zealot Evangelical a freak is a lead religious nut Mike Pence that makes no sense So This is it now I would like to make a statement that I I hate the Republicans thinking guts more than ever before now more than ever before because they are Like the late great George Carlin said They after they steal everything else from we the people they They want to come after your our Social Security They want to cut Medicare they they apparently the douchebag muppet face scumbag Paul Ryan and and and The turtle face McConnell they have no replacement for the affordable care act They have no replacement for Anything that services the poor and For that matter the middle class because the middle class are not doing too well You know, I mean their taxes went up even higher from what I understand or they're going to go higher But you know Congress keeps on giving himself that automatic raise and You know, I guess they give themselves a review at the same time They don't give them no use No, they give themselves they get it no matter what they get it Yeah, what am I not know me whether they they do nothing in less than part-time hours or Not they are no merit no meritocracy in the you know, you ask government They have arranged it. So it's automatic the the Stealing it's like if a person steals company time and they get in trouble for that the stealing of taxpayers money To give themselves raises that they did not earn That's right. They did not earn anything anything they get Um, well, they didn't do any work under Obama well Donald Trump says he inherited or a big mess a big mess from Obama. Wow a mess a mess Well, he also said that 306 The Man it flew out of my head. You know the uh the votes that he needs to be president He got 306 he said that was the highest of any president of all time Reagan got more and two other and and clinton I believe and another president got more than 306 well Donald Trump uh will Has I think he's done it already change history the history of the american presidency because when When foreigners when other countries think of The american presidency They will not think of anyone else, but donald trump Because he is the first vision. Well, that's what he likes. That's what he likes to be the first about everything The largest crowd gatherer But it'll be it'll be the first in their mind in in terms of infamy not in terms of anything positive But they will uh he single-handedly embarrass um The u.s presidency uh now um You know it sounds nice when he says let me Do my job and uh and fix The mess he says the white house is running better than ever before Finally tuned instruments finally tuned. I guess well oiled machine But how can it be that how can it be working that well if he keeps on appointing these uh pro-corporate blood sucking multi billionaires That don't give a shit about the poor or the middle class So how how could things be working that perfectly? if If it's going to be Curtains for the poor and the middle class it's going to be doomsday for them. That may have been the plan Oh, you mean why wouldn't that be the plan like republic like republicans calling it the clean air act Whatever. No. Well, you republicans went and yeah, exactly when they say something Well, when they want to do something they cover it up. They got they call us something else So the people don't get wise Right. So like in like in terms of immigration In terms of immigration, I think there's a little more involved than just deporting illegal Yeah, they thought they were going to get away with you know, we're just saying muslims And that would bring the hate to the surface of their their uh, their base, right? And then they play and then they ran into the constitution Then they blame the mexican they they blame the mexicans for all their problems We're talking about all the all the the rednecks that vote republican and coming over the border I know and then there's the The teabagger comments online about Towards the african-american community saying well if they don't do anything wrong And and and they they speak to the policemen Uh, uh with Respect and nothing bad's gonna happen in other words what they're blaming all of the uh, the killings Of unarmed blacks by the police. They're they're blaming it on the blacks. Yeah, so they're blaming it They're not they're not acknowledging the racial profiling. No, they're blaming it on the blacks They're blaming everything on the muslims. They're brain blaming everything on the mexicans but they all All these people that republicans are after Aside from the poor uh, have one thing in common. They are all people of color. Yeah They share that one thing in common. There are people of color mexicans mexicans muslims african americans so, uh, you know They can sugarcoat it all they want, but a pattern always forms With republicans and when they tell you everything is uh, uh, peachy keen Fine and dandy hunky dory hunky dory. It means that They are getting away with something with something underhanded. Oh, yeah And uh stealing money that doesn't belong to them like social security is extremely, uh, underhanded And the affordable care act which will leave many poor people Dying from their illness. Well now trumpy trumpy, baby said he was not going to touch social security and medicare, but paul ryan and the guys and girls are Now paul ryan got something through the other day. He snuck it under handedly. Yes. He snuck it through Uh, I believe it has something to do with the you know with the cheating Social security recipients out of their money either Maybe it had something to do with the raising the age or whatever retirement age went up And although that is stealing Yeah As it stands and and and with medicare they keep saying medicare is going broke But the actuaries say that medicare is good till 20 28 So No, it's uh, it's it's definitely Far from being low in cash and of course the social security is treasury bonds Yeah, well they well in that file cabinet tell me a g was now now Yeah, when they raise the retirement age and they and they want to cut social security and medicare What that ensures is that more? uh senior citizens that um Will rely on a fixed income will drop dead prematurely I think that's part of their Uh depopulation of the poor plan Well, it's redeemed. It's also a redistribution of income upward like bernie sanders says Like bernie sanders says all the time. I don't know why bernie sanders keeps on saying no To a new third progressive party if if he thinks he's going to put on a spandex Uh batman or superman suit with a cape and he's got captain america Captain america and he's gonna rescue the democratic party from being establishment and corrupt I hope he doesn't hold his breath for any period of time. It ain't gonna happen Because they're not they don't look like they're embracing the most progressive people The democratic party. So uh, uh, you know, it's like uh for some reason He you see Uh, bernie sanders and jeff weaver. They have that organization now called our revolution Now if you're asking if you're hitting people up for money now for our revolution Which they are because they email me. Yeah, if you're hitting people up for donations Like when you were campaigning Then you might as well convert our revolution into a third progressive party And this way all the bernie crats Of 2016 will jump on board and I will register as a bernie bird party, whatever the hell you want to call it And you know people will feel like they're donating to something real something tangible You know Our revolution does not hold any political weight Substance It's just a bunch of people protesting You know what I mean? It's not It's not a force to be reckoned with like a political party is You know what I mean jellybean? It's just it's just something called our revolution. It's like me forming a club called my shalele Hey, that sounds a little bit scary Right My shalele, please donate to this Worthy organization.

I was um They had the big screen tv on and there's this uh woman this fat woman white woman Who is a coupon expert? Well, that's what my grandparents used to say cue coupon coupon expert And and she Was with this Uh obese family and uh They were doing they were all working out together Doing trying attempting to do exercises they had a homemade barbell Made up of a broomstick with two bags of canned goods on each side of it Hey, man, it's it's you know, it's it's resistance. Yeah, they use their imagination The muscles the muscles don't care if it's a ton of bricks or a ton of feathers Resistance is resistance. I don't care if it's the designer Equipment that costs thousands of dollars high tech state-of-the-art Or if it's a freaking boulder that you're doing presses and squats with the muscles Body don't care anyway gallon of water. There you go. They're work well gallon of water is eight pounds. There you go You know if you fill it with sand it's more if you fill it with the lead buck shot. It's even more a lot more anyway After their workout, uh, she she goes shopping with them and what are they putting in the carts? cases of soda Seven up well, so I I made everybody laugh in the waiting room. I says, you know what? They're working out at home as a family. They're exercising and they need soda like they need a freaking hole in the head That they were exercising It's not it doesn't it's not gonna do a damn thing just like these guys I used to know they used to brag they go to the gym to have a gym membership As soon as they walk out of the gym, they light up a cigarette. They start chain smoking Or if they chain smoke The booze hounds chain smoke Recreational drugs and steroids Don't even bother to go To go to a health food store and get supplements. Don't waste your time. Don't even waste your time in the gym If you're not gonna do it right if you're not gonna if you're gonna talk and then they'll complain Yeah, they'll complain don't talk to talk That in other words. Yeah, don't talk to talk if you're not walking the walk You if you're not living the lifestyle You're you just all those supplements Are a total waste You know well what years ago, I think jack glane used to call them bedpan bullets Yeah, he just go right through Right, but you know a lot of people don't understand that Most supplements, of course Are to be used with food Food comes first. Yeah, are to be you know, they are part of the food Well, not only even the late great dr. Robert Acton's robert c. Acton's used to say Don't get hung up on your supplements if your diet is wrong Bingo, your diet is the most important thing and you're not supposed to be taking your supplements Before you eat a meal. You're supposed to take them after a meal unless it's specified Yeah, if it's like a Dha Ones that take between meals, right a colostrum dha There are certain supplements probiotics that are right that are are recommended you take them on an empty stomach But uh your food is number one And if you're eating a high carb diet consisting of chemicals and you know Hydrogenated oil which is carcinogenic if you're putting toxins in your body You're just wasting your time with the vitamins I knew I knew a personal case of a person Who drank sodas every day and of course When once he stopped just the sodas alone lost 20 pounds. Well, isn't there isn't there also sodium? In the amount of sodium besides the sugar there is but 17 teaspoons of sugar Well, you know when you when you cut out carbs and sugar, you know refined carbs, which is sugar. Yeah, uh The first thing that happens is uh all the The water the the fluid retention that your body All the fluid your body's holding on to because of the high carbs that all flushes out Yeah, that's the first thing that occurs and then of course you go into ketosis now Someone from orthodox medicine says be very careful with ketosis Because if the human body does not get a certain amount of a certain milligrams Of sugar of carbs that the brain will shut down But fat is the brain food That's what that's what I was trying to explain Like they they they did a lab experiment where they offered um I don't know if it was lab animals or human cell In other words Anytime you give the human body a choice between carbs for energy and fat for energy the body Always Would always prefer fat over carb. It's it's more efficient, right? No carbs over fat It's easier your body then it begins to take burn the fat for energy. Yes Right. Yeah as a sec a secondary. That's right. Yeah, well, that's why when you let's say go into the The icons diet or something of that nature you use the keto sticks To find out how much ketosis you're in and blah blah blah and you can measure it and you can Play with it and and you can lose what you want and That's it. You dip it in urine like a home pregnancy test if it turns violet or purple The the the deep the more the more purple it is The more fat your body is burning for energy and you can find them at any pharmacy. Correct. Yes Keto sticks with an x at the end keto sticks And uh, and that's it if if it's not turning at least violet Well, then you're consuming too many carbs. Exactly and you can you you know, I mean you can Somebody's uh, let's say Ingesting 80 carbs a day or something like that you can bring them down to 20 Are you losing on 20 if you're losing on 25? I always have my clients for the first week Take um Um Keep a log of everything. Yeah, everything they eat At least the week just to get an idea of what they're eating habits are where they're at. Yeah, so now you know What to emit? Yeah And what to reduce and what to increase, you know, so anyway, uh, anyway, uh, let us uh, sink our teeth into these readings We are still doing very well on time despite Our long-windedness um I had a a consumer tip um And I wanted to share um well Of course, I'm I'm now using led lights at home and I'm I'm very happy with them Um, there was another consumer tip. Um Speaking of health my kefir grains There the large it seems like the larger they get And the more more harder they become and more yellowish they become the thicker the uh, the yogurt that it produces the thicker the kefir And and I noticed that the kefir is now becoming thicker almost like a store-bought yogurt And it lasts forever if you take care of them Um, and they also have water key for grains for vegans out there um And then I made my pancakes I made the uh, the vegan uh, multi-grain pancakes that came out excellent And and in place of eggs you use flaxseed meal uh with milk And you could use a cup of milk, but you know what there's so much calcium and quinoa And things like that, you know great You don't really need the milk, but you got to make sure you pulverize everything into a fine powder um Let me see uh I getting back to cookware uh, you know the gotham Steel pan did not live up to its uh infomercial, but The copper chef might and I see differences That you get with the copper chef pan So if anybody out there purchased the the whole set with the square pan Feel free to email us and let us know if you like it Uh, if you're unhappy if you love it you can always go to amazon Actually, I think amazon is the only place and yelp Those are the only two organizations. I know of online That um Where you can leave reviews I don't know of any other review Uh organization um Let's see uh Trying to think there's a company that really ticked me off. Uh, oh, uh, um Stephen the guy that had the problems for months and months and months of months with the welfare and social security Well, finally, uh, steven's going to have his first, uh Wapping payment that is supposed to be direct deposited in his account And uh, and the the the idiot at social security administration screwed up on his Uh, routing number and account number. Nice. So we got a letter saying they can't deposit. So he calls them up He goes over to number again. He gives them the right number Okay, uh, he said that the woman that he had an argument with She kept on cutting them off She was insisting that That he give her All the numbers that are on the bottom of the check. No, you don't use all the numbers you idiot You only use certain numbers for the routing number and the account number You don't give them every single digit zero or whatever that's on the check Stupid ass You know, I tell you these state and federal government workers. So anyway She goes, okay She goes, uh, got it We'll deposit it right away Hasn't deposited yet They sure hate to to to part with that money, huh? But if you were a corporate ceo, you would sure have a direct deposit like in a nano second, I bet Oh, sure, you know, but uh, sure You know, hey, you people out there, man, you you you Americans are Are beyond pathetic I'm talking about the ones that supported, uh, hillary and donald trump. You are so fucking pathetic Words alone cannot describe how, um Brain cell deficient you truly are I mean, uh, uh bernie sanders Supposedly with the rigging He got 46 of the popular vote But you see this might be a problem With a third progressive party if you still have the electoral college and the, um And all this crap and the um the super delegates With the democrats and you don't use the popular vote Then a progressive And then you still if you still allow gerrymandering the the progressive candidate will get fucked What's your hunch on that doc? Of course doc and that's why they get that's why they form into parties And that's why the gerryman gerryman to maintain power It it's a form of rigging gerrymandering. Well, of course it is it's really it's not an amphibian like a salamander It's a form of rigging. That's right. It rigs your your party Where your people are and So that basically Only your people are voting for you voter suppression Well, there's no let's say that they try to avoid having any democrats in your gerrymandered district Right, and they make sure that where the democrats are concentrated They will have a very difficult time traveling Traveling like jesse ventura explain what they did in minnesota How they they split up the districts and and the the people that vote democrat They would have a great deal of difficulty traveling to where they had a vote It's all rigged. Yeah All right, go ahead As the nation develops further into Donald trump's presidency There have been multiple calls for action With the most current being the day without immigrants Oh, geez The campaign in support of millions of immigrants both illegal and not soft to take action And spread awareness of the importance of immigrants Well, the crops and in southern farms are rotting away right now because All the immigrant Farm workers they they took off when uh, donald trump started with the deportation They they ran they ran off the farm. They vanished So now all the crops are rotting away boycott. That's what it is The advocates Of this movement called for people To not go to work And to reject commercial spending for the day That's the way to do it The importance of this call to action was to demonstrate the importance and impact of this of immigrants Excuse me of immigrants That they have on labor and the economy It was a direct response to trump's plans The president's call to deport millions of illegal immigrants has created a strong An innovative counter movement To demonstrate the vitality of immigrants in america The voices of these marginalized people are screaming For representation and protection While being muzzled by internal racism And national inclusion Fake news fake news. You can't no no you must you you were not allowed you were not allowed You were not allowed to ask me any questions You represents Fake news Nope job I'm doing a great job The white house Is a well-oiled machine Thanks to me. Yes that you can you can light a candle to a statue of me Or you certainly are allowed to do that in worship I want to see what uh, I didn't see saturday saturday night live last saturday They went on some kind of hiatus I don't know. I hope I remember tonight, but Last night. I watched a captain america on the sci-fi channel Oh, uh, by the way, if you miss saturday night live the uh The uh, but they don't play the entire segment. You got to look around for it. Um on youtube I had a hard time finding the entire segment The one who plays uh sessions is funny. The one who plays uh Spicer uh spicy spicer. Oh, she's funny as hell Yeah, she oh, she's really really funny a spicer Uh, um, they're still deciding on who will play bannon. I hope it's rosy old donnell Because she will generate more heat than anyone else Getting back at him. Yes with donnell trump on twitter with the twitter mania Twitter mania and and him gonna get him up at three in the morning Rosie old donnell playing bannon. Oh I absolutely did not believe the president's news conference that I just witnessed Donald trump is still campaigning He almost never finishes a sentence And can't complete a thought Even anticipating a serious address To any situation confronting our country Is an exercise in frustration and futility The white house is in such disarray And our leader cannot articulate a single positive thought or policy He hates the media immigrants facts former president obama And anyone who endeavors to bring some sanity and truth into our lives how long Before other leaders put a stop to this by the way. Yeah, he said I inherited a mess From obama. Oh and obama didn't inherit a real mess from gw. Yes, and he cut the deficit by two thirds Oh my god, and and then he says uh during the press conference You think hillary clinton would be tougher on russia than me? What are you kidding me? He had to bring her up He's I said it during the campaign. I will be tough foreign policy Because they saw a russian spy ship off the Connecticut Connecticut wasn't yeah He said he people would want me to shoot it out of the water Oh Cheat, I'll be smart if he did that way that would be World War three Well, he did admit that russia is a a nuclear superpower and then so are we well, you can't just Go off half cock doing things like that. Yeah, well, you know, I mean look Putin He's not a fool and he's not stupid, you know, you can you can have meetings with him and make nice nice But you know, he's gonna He's gonna protect mother russia, you know, he's gonna Do what he does. Yeah, I mean he was a kgb man, right? I mean It's a big deal. What are you what are you gonna find? What are what what are you there? We're looking at the submarine base in new london connecticut. Maybe That's what he had america. What? Well, the the american uh, the united states submarine base is in grottin grottin It's near mystic seaport. It's near near the rhodion border Yeah, that's where the that's the big kahuna of the submarine base for the u.s You know, ah, who the hell knows What is it, uh Red october or the shonk honoree shonk honoree. Yeah Denzel washington so As a former and current business owner I recognize the challenges women face in business However I take exception to the writer's statement That evanka trump is being judged unfairly If evanka and donald trump Had separated her business from his administration I would agree that their her business should be judged separately. I agree. I agree with that. Yeah posting pictures of evanka trump Sitting at the resolute desk between the presidents of the united states and canada donald trump's tweets Condemning nordstrom and kelly and conways unethical commercial for evanka trump Are just a few examples Of how this administration Is blurring the lines between government and corporate marketer. Well, um Melaria trump melania Melania trump uh was trying to use her first lady status in uh marketing some products And they and they put somebody or some It was stopped. Let's put it that way. It was it was stopped. You can't you can't do that Yeah, well somebody better tell trump that You gotta have that blank trust blind trust or get You got to separate yourself from the business Yeah, you gotta give it to your son though A big deal, you know give it to your son. Why you can't talk to your son in the bathroom and help him with uh business Were fawns he used to have his office on happy days The fawns used to call it his office the men's room What's to stop him from whispering to his son in the men's room Nothing with the dryer going nothing the hand dryer. So there's no Yeah, nothing could stop him. Come on. Give me a break. Um, you know, um It's very easy for trump to make decisions If his children are running the business And then not only that when did you know that when his sons go on business trips Uh, the taxpayers have to have to pay for the uh, Security the secret service the security. Yeah has to go with him on business trips. And how many business trips how many Vacations has he taken already? Oh, he's taken him. Yeah, he's gonna break George Bush's Amount Yeah, didn't he already break the uh the play to pay hillary clinton play to pay pay to play play I don't know. You don't hear much about uh GOP money coming in anymore You know, but I mean, it's not the taxpayers problem That his kids have to go on a business trip. Well, why did why? I mean They're supposed to be separated from the business. They're not minors. Hey, I mean, let me ask you a question When Ronald Reagan was president his sons were growing up, right? Yeah Did they have the secret service? Yeah around them. Yeah, okay And then you know, I'm going to take a vacation and then, you know, he said when his son um Baron is at Out of school whenever that's gonna be Then they will move into the white house Meanwhile, they're gonna ring up a bill Huge bill I've already done it. Yeah mayor, uh, and he shall continue mayor bill de Blasio is uh, he's pissed off at a lot of things as of late house republican leaders sketched broad outlines of a replacement for Barack Obama's health care law And left rank and file GOP members at odds And questioning details and timing of how the GOP intends to deliver On its long-promised alternative Alternative Die drop dead Unrealistic may be a wrong strong word, but It is a super large task Representative mark walker Republican north Carolina said When asked about past GOP promises To quickly deliver legislation repealing The affordable care act We're getting there We're getting closer. Yeah to screwing the poor House Speaker Paul Ryan told journalists After the closed door meeting That after congress is upcoming Week-end recess week-long recess by the way. They're in recess right now Recess till after president's day. Where they do in recess Same thing they do when they're working They have uh, they have martini shaken nuts. They're theoretically they're all at their own homes Oh, that's why uh, Mitch McConnell had to take off Really quickly from the hecklers from the protesters In kentucky And and and then he found more protesters at his home We intend to introduce legislation to repeal And replace obama care But he provided no detail Among the options discussed at a closed door meeting of republicans Was repealing some or all of the 1.1 trillion dollar in taxes Over 10 years that obama's overhaul imposed To help finance its expansion of health coverage In its place Ryan is proposing taxing the value Of high-cost health insurance provided by employers An idea that is certain to draw opposition from Some republicans who have long refused to vote for such tax increases According to a document Distributed to lawmakers and obtained by the american press Excuse me the associated press Republicans would phase out The expansion of medicaid To additional poor people That obama's law enacted 31 states Received extra federal money For doing that During the phase out period The other 19 states would also receive additional money Eventually states would be given a choice Of receiving either a lump sum payment Of federal funds or an amount That varies based on the number of medicaid beneficiaries they have Instead of expanding a broken program Republicans instead want to put states in charge Of their medicaid programs Medicaid remains among the most contentious parts Of the g.o.p plan Yeah, they always want the g.o.p. The republicans always want to leave more to the states And eliminate the federal government involvement and everything except military With bottle bottles putting Putting states against each other Sure to come As details of their legislation are decided Republicans would eliminate the tax penalties that obama's law imposes on people who don't buy insurance And the subsidies the government provides to most people buying policies on the online marketplaces The statute established Mind policies, yeah, they would deregulated companies wonderful in their place There would be refundable tax credits And health savings accounts People could use to help afford coverage Proposals democrats have mocked As inadequate Are these credits going to uh amount to enough money to pay such premiums? No, no Refundable credits mean That even people with low or no income Would receive checks from the irs That has drawn opposition from conservative republicans who say that system invites fraud health secretary tom price Until last week himself a member of the house Addressed the lawmakers and told them President donald trump Would give them strong backing during the effort According to representative bill florist republican of texas He also told them That the administration wants the house To introduce legislation Before trump produces his own package Some republicans have been eager For the white house to advance a proposal first Because they are leery Of supporting something that ends up not getting trumps backing thursday's closed door meeting came with Congress about to start a weekend a week long recess That will send layout lawmakers home To energize the voters Mostly democrats Who have crammed town hall meetings To complain about g.o.p. Efforts to repeal the affordable care act Well makers are eager To have something to show Their constituents Yeah, I I I see and hear that At the town meetings the republicans are having a bad time People are on their asses About the affordable care act once they're finding out What it really is it's obama care Which they hate but they like the affordable care act The same thing they hate it because the word obama's in it, right exactly These are these are rednecks. That's it The ones that are on it and don't even know it Oh my god, I don't want no old bummer care We don't want no commie pink. Oh, uh, oh bummer care And the black man that was in the white house. We don't want no bummer care Oh, oh, what's that again affordable care act Yeah, which do you prefer? Oh that take affordable care act. Yeah I like that one. Now you see me. I have ice. I had eye surgery Yesterday morning and I'm here doing a show. I'm like george washington at valley forge Can you dig that sucker? The show must go on the cause to the cause. Let me see your shoes No, they didn't have shoes Who didn't have shoes george washington's men at valley forge. How did they walk on a snow? Exactly they must have got sick Exactly it was hard times, baby Hard times, you know what I guess they're more if we're republican If george washington were a republican There would have been no revolution anymore and there certainly would have never been a valley forge No, because republicans love monarchies But they also love King george not hard times They can't deal with them. Well, you know, uh, abraham lincoln A republican would be considered Too way too far to the left today. Right. Yes I think in some ways, uh, richard nixon and ronald reagan would be Too far to the left today Even though they they have them as a patron saint Well, ronald reagan Richard nixon wanted to put through an annual income for People in the united states No, well, he's gonna get a republican to do that today. Richard millhouse nixon came from a Humble quaker a humble Family he wasn't born Wealthy he they struck me he resented that. Yes well Yeah, but i'm just saying it It created Yeah, the um the personality that in the character that was Well, richard nixon now jimmy carter Um, I'll tell you that guy is he's so amazing His his hometown of plains georgia He is he has installed He has arranged it to uh For plains georgia to have um A large amount of solar panels and and he It's almost it's getting close to being um sufficient selfish self-sufficient the town of plains georgia is I think it's more than 50 self-sufficient already because of uh the first set of uh Solar panels that i'm i'm assuming the solar panels are on some of his farm acreage It's where there's no Nothing to stop the sun from shining, you know, but um Any he helps with the habitats of humanity building homes at his age. He's doing all this But if he could use plains georgia as a prototype Not that not that you need one because germany's doing it already you know They're closing in on on being fossil fuel free But i mean as far as an american American community and an american town That would be the prototype for the whole country You know, hopefully he'll get it done Well, he's still uh alive Because he is quite old anyway. All right, we got We've got some time I am writing in reference To nordstrom's decision To cancel evanke trump's line of fashion from its stores. What does this person care? Is he related to evanke? I have no idea. All right I have great doubt that this is based on poor sales and financial loss but To appease any customer who is angry over donald trump's presidency The timing is too coincidental in my view This is an insult to any woman in the workforce Who may be judged by a family member? I am not an activist But feel strongly In the importance of being heard When issues concerning honesty fairness and integrity are impugned For this reason I have returned my nordstrom credit card To its corporate headquarters with an explanation I applaud the stores who have the courage not to follow nordstrom's decision Well, the trump family the trump kids And wife did not waste any time Trying to use the trump presidency in in sales Of merchandise. Well indeed. That is the problem. They jumped right on the opportunity Um I am tired of being called a sore loser Although I supported hillary clinton. Oh god. I have many friends who were and are Donald trump supporters too many americans want that establishment politics. They don't want to let go I have only asked that they pay attention to trumps actions Just because I disagree With practically every decision and appointment He is made to date Does not make me a sore loser or a crybaby I am a patriotic american Who believes in our constitution and our laws I believe in the american dream And in the innate goodness of his people american dream, huh? If anything You can probably label me an optimist And naive a fool I am depressed And outraged by much of the news And I have participated in my government by making calls and marching in protests I acknowledge the fact That the democrats lost The 2016 election But that doesn't mean I am willing to sit back and shrug We should all Trump supporters and trump critics Be paying attention Yeah, well in order to pay attention you have to be conscious You got to be awake. You have to have brain cells that are working Which is lacking in america How are you feeling here dr. Bill so far in the show pretty good. No, I'm okay. It's good to hear Um, I just want to say that you know the next Holiday would be st. patrick's day, I believe And uh, I would like to say for the very best in irish imports Go to zavier gifts dot com spell with an x zavier gifts dot com and tell And tell management patty That mega life james from mega life 21 has sent you And my greetings to patty and her family, of course, excuse me Canger paste tomato paste I am 68 years old My husband is 80 I just found out he is involved With a 40 year old woman No, she's a spring chicken to him, right? Yeah, I guess He says it is not an affair because they haven't actually he had sex No, he's peace probably uh like anna nicole smith was when when she was alive with the old geezer a billionaire He has money I bet I don't know what to do. Can you help me? You'll give him you'll probably give him a heart attacking bed Uh Here is gene Phillips answer She has the dear abbey column now Oh, they kept the uh the abbey even though the original abigail was a vamp urine Yeah, is is taking the dirt sleep Abigail vamp urine, okay Your husband may not be having an affair in the physical sense But he is having an emotional affair He may be flattered by the attention he's receiving From a younger woman or he may think think He's actually in love with her Nah, possibly whether she is in love with him is open to questions He's in lust. I think if there's any lust left in an old geezer like that However, if your husband is giving her money You might have an argument that he is being manipulated Yes by a gold digger Which could Could qualify As elder abuse Oh I think that's an excellent idea if they could do that legally It is elderly abuse of the elderly Yes, it is like like scammers who call up senior citizens and try to dupe them out of their money Remember to If you are a longtime wife In a community property state Half of the assets acquired during your marriage are yours Yeah, big california is like that If he doesn't agree to end the relationship This is something you might want to discuss With a lawyer Just tell him that uh A guy I have your I have your little raisin balls on a chopping block My good man Well, um Yes, it is taken advantage of the elderly without a doubt and um Gold digging is is a form of uh glorified prostitution I mean it is It is, you know, um I know um I have a couple relatives that married Some dopey-looking guy uh That is uh below them in appearance and uh I am sure it is because of their job their career their income. Let's get right to the point their income That they uh They uh sunk that uh that bass fishing hook right into their mouth and reel them in Dear abbey My seven-year-old daughter jesse Has a best friend who lives next door The neighbor lori Has an older brother jason Who is 13 Recently jesse played at lori's house And when she came home She told me jason had said some nasty things to her Oh really?

Oh, he made it on dog hair Yeah, that's only reason and I think the more people Complained about it the more he kept it. Yeah, like barbis dry sand never getting a nose job Hey, when the hell are you gonna roll your money?

You see me talking and sitting in my on my throne here Okay Seven lucky bows for the balance of progressive discussions President's Day weekend I'm sure the retailers Love that. I'm sure they're the ones that set up President's Day to fall on a Monday What they did was they converted it was Ronald Reagan He did that He did it. So you you wouldn't have so many vacations Okay, oh, you mean there were two of them in it. Yeah, there was uh, Lincoln's birthday and George Washington's birthday MLK in here too or something. There's martin luther king But by all of these, uh, I call them, um, what should we call them national? Holidays miscellaneous holidays federal. They're not really federal holidays, but we got mail the other day Last monday See they put them on a weekend. So you'd have a three-day weekend They put them on a monday Well, actually it used to fall on any day The three-day weekend is is pretty nice if you work in an office and let's say or You have a job where you know that does that and um You know, mm-hmm It's nice to have a three-day weekend. Um, I remember when I was much younger I used to hit the clubs and the the bars used to be really hopping Not just friday and saturday, but sunday night also because monday people had off I remember that Actually hairdressers, uh, you know salons barbershops day. They're usually closed On a monday sunday monday Because they're weekend because they're they're open on saturday Because they have to be You know, anyway A video of me Questioning representative diane black republican tennessee About how her party Will replace the affordable care act Went viral on friday I had gone to her town Hall meeting On thursday near my home to ask what the poor And the sick would do Once they are left without the law's protections The next night I had the really weird experience of seeing myself on national television And the even weirder experience of hearing and reading other people's interpretation of my own words My town hall question has been described as a christian defense Of obama care Well obama care, um, uh Is More christian than anything a republican would do And An impassioned case For the aca's individual mandate But the truth is that I do not actually believe That the aca is the best way to ensure people In fact, I am ashamed and afraid that this video might have done more harm than good In my view christians shouldn't be satisfied with health care policy that leaves anyone out Especially those who need care most But can't afford it the least Christians should support a universal Single payer plan Of course I know what it's like to need a hand I grew up on an appellation hillside in a rundown trailer home Not even a cabin with my mom I could picture a lovely cabin with a big hearth fireplace wood burning stove But a trailer and two siblings My mom was orphaned At a very young age and we had no other family to help us So we relied almost exclusively on government assistance to survive We were industrious and thrifty like the majority of people receiving government assistance Yeah, who are working to barely get by your whole life is one big budget growing up I was surrounded by christians whose politics informed their fate Not the other way around Conservatives who expect poor churches and charities to look after their poor congregations While wealthy people live in luxury They only have so much money the churches there. They can't do they can't get the job done But my mom cared about politics Especially issues affecting the working cry class You notice how all these republican politicians tend to be from the southern states Didn't you ever look at the campaign map and see all the red area? They're all they're all in Dixieland They're all in Dixieland She used to tell us that jesus didn't lie. I just love the poor He loved them more And he helped them I've always carried that message with me and I paid attention To politics on and off over the year and he commanded the rich to help and give to the poor But how much did he tell them to give? A lot more than than what uh our system does now all Command at all. You shouldn't if you have two coats Give them to the poor Well, you yeah, but then you become poor and this so then you need a coat but you in The rich in some way shape or form have been blessed So you're going to make it back because they say so. Well, yeah, whatever you know, in other words, they're tithing But uh, yeah, they're tithing. They're tithing. Well, god is definitely Definitely much closer to socialism than uh, then republican conservative republicans are Without a doubt I was unhappy with the bush administration But when a barack obama won the election in 2008, I assumed things would look up Well, they would if you didn't get obstructed constantly from the republican congress and I stopped paying attention I worked harder. I went to school and did my best to give back to my community as a high school teacher Something I felt I had to do as a christian But this election startled me out of my complacency I followed the democratic primary closely. I cast my vote for hillary clinton in the general Oh, yeah horrified by the outcome. Oh, you're a real christian. Oh, that's right the south, uh The south went for hillary clinton. I think because her her husband is a southern boy Southern boy. That's why I think the south went for hillary. Yeah, I realized that if people of faith Want a moral government? We can't rely on people who call themselves christians to build one for us Our forefathers had a Outstanding reason for keeping church and state separated. We have to do it ourselves That's why I went to speak to my representative directly When I got up to speak to black I was nervous My question came out a little jumbled And I did end up making a faith-based argument for the individual mandate portion of the aca I was simply trying to point out That the hypocrisy of republican politicians Who claim to be christians and yet time and time again advocate for policies that hurt people republicans refusal to expand the medicaid component of the aca in various states solely in the name of politics punished some of our nation's poorest And likely led to thousands of untimely deaths refusing to expand medicaid And threatening to place vulnerable people into high-risk insurance pools are wrong in my view because Christianity calls on us to look after the weakest and the neediest of people If I had a chance to address our leaders directly again, I would say this Christianity demands that we make sure all people have health coverage In other words, yes I would have focused on the christian case for universal single-payer health insurance as a right health care for all as a right Like education as a right Which would protect all americans not just rich kids getting a good education And if republicans want to campaign as christians they should lead the way Switching to single-payer Would not be easy Perhaps the hardest part of the reorganization of our health care system To single-payer would be asking physicians to make much less money than they do now But the directive in luke 1248 states Everyone to whom much was given Of him much will be required But you can't mix religion and politics because religion has not been proven Uh, why is this person so hung up on? Who who calls himself a christian who does it? I mean No religion is proven If I have a debate With a person Who calls himself A christian and what does that mean in the pop? I am then allowed To use christian theology and stuff To bunk. Yes, or debunk. No, right is right nonsense. Yes, absolutely correct But when that doesn't mean I'm sharing no, but but when that evangelical conservative republican Is keeps on bringing up christianity In terms of politics political decisions what I'm saying is It's it's ludicrous because religion cannot has not and cannot be proven Uh for all we know That is correct, but as it is today. Yeah, they use it to make laws Which is insane Insane okay. Hey for all we know If you're going to be an independent critical free thinker with an open mind For all we know The planet earth and the human race might be one big big gigantic extraterrestrial experiment And the angels were actually extraterrestrials flying around You know, I mean we don't know so keep it out of politics It's okay to have a belief You know freedom of religion, but keep it out of politics and um Republicans like to use the constitution and christianity as a front They wrap themselves in a flag And hold the bible in one hand and drive a Chevrolet Right as they're picking your pocket with with the other hand as they're as they're uh Screwing you They they love the the big distractions. They love to distract. They're screwing you with their communism Huh communism who? The christians what the hell do you think tithing is? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah No, no, I'm talking about the counterfeit christians on the right. That's what I'm saying right wing. No, they don't like communism But that's what tithing is no their tithing is stealing Yeah from one person, but then they give it to themselves so they don't have to work Joel Osteen don't have to work Well, he's not a reward. I said he was a real christian doesn't matter. I'm saying how they do it He's using the word tithe. They're they're perverting the word tithe the meaning of tithing And then they use the tax laws to keep it all That's another thing That's another thing. Yeah They keep it all it's like it's like the uh the banner that you saw before Mother the mother is explaining to her daughter You know daughter says which mommy which trickled down economics. He says she says well All the money first goes to the ceo on top and uh And the girl says well then then what happens she says that's it mother says that's it That's it goes to the top money goes to the top. That's it No trickle. No And from him To whom they entrusted much they will demand more With what is left of the minute of fame that I have been given I feel compelled to ask for forgiveness For not using my belief system To advocate more clearly For what I think is the best thing to do Hey, we had some very good readings for this week's show. I must say Even though I'm not Feeling as fit as a fiddle like I normally am. I think the show is going quite well For those of you that want to mock and criticize I have an itch in the center of my forehead for excuse me Actually, it's such a big itch. I need two fingers. Oh my jays Yeah, I don't I don't uh I don't like uh unfair put downs that of Matters that are not important. You know what I mean? At least Stick to the content of the show Debate with facts Don't try to just don't try to get under people's skin With what they call keyboard courage, you know talking shit as you're pushing the buttons Researchers exploring the ocean's deepest reaches Are accustomed to seeing oddities From fish as fragile as tissue paper To translucent sea cucumbers Yeah, could you imagine how does the fish thrive in an environment with so much water pressure on all sides? I'm talking about the depths of the ocean That even veteran deep water scientists were shocked By the latest discovery at the very bottom of the sea Toxic pollution And lots of it. I don't get it. It's very true. Unfortunately. Yeah, tiny Shrimp like crustaceans Living in the mariana trench One of the world's most remote habitats Are laced With staggering levels of industrial chemicals according to a new study even there Man's pollution has reached Scientists found That some of the mariana crustaceans are more contaminated With harmful pollutants called PCBs. Uh-oh Then crabs Living in waters fed by one of china's most polluted rivers The scientists found high levels of flame retardants In the bodies of similar crustaceans living in the karem karmadak trench The world's fifth deepest And more than 4 000 miles from the mariana trench Humans have left the footprints In the deepest places of the world Oh boy, wherever humans Go explore They destroy Not only are the pollutants in every single sample Regardless of species depth and trench Whatever the concentrations are extraordinarily high That was a big surprise Anything that lives in the mariana trench The world's deepest at more than six miles And other underwater gashes In the earth's surface is a tough customer It must thrive in complete darkness And under crushing pressures of seven tons per square inch That's what i was saying before It's like it's more miraculous than a bumblebee being able to fly Its wings are too small for its body weight but it flies anyway But this is even more incredible In these conditions the shrimp-like scavengers Called amphipods Like a krill almost thrive By snatching any bit of food that floats by But that veracity can backfire The contaminants in the amphipods bodies Probably came from the food they ate The scientists wrote in this week's nature ecology and evolution The researchers did not trace the contaminants to their origins Interesting In tar resting Without a doubt without a doubt Here we go Here we go What do we got This might be the last It's a fairly large one Yeah, I have a feeling it will be the last reading for this week's Congress Yeah On Wednesday Senate President Donald Trump legislation blocking An Obama-era rule Designed to keep guns out of the hands Of certain mentally disabled people Our republicans want them to have firearms That they'll be more They're helping the disabled aren't they Then they'll be more shootings Yeah, but they're helping the disabled To kill innocent people Yeah But they're helping them Well obviously So firing If you're mentally ill you can get a gun So shooting innocent humans with a gun Is like therapy for the mentally ill I think Ronald Reagan let them all loose out of the mental institutions Way back when they became the homeless On a vote of 57 to 43 The senate backed the resolution Just one of several early steps By the republican-led congress to undo Regulations implemented by former president Barack Obama Undo Undo would sound like undue resourced The House Which I love Had passed the measure earlier this year The White House that signaled Trump will sign the legislation The Obama rule would have prevented and estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders From being able to purchase a firearm That's like a hardened criminal Doing like a few decades in prison And then they finally get out And they say Oh sure, you can buy all the guns you want now It's your right That's right 20 seconds a minute Oh, Jesus It was crafted As part of Obama's efforts to strengthen The federal background check system In the wake of the 2012 massacre of 20 young students And six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Hey, Obama really never took away their guns Adam Lanza A 20-year-old man with a variety of impairments Including Asperger syndrome Black Jack Lanza An obsessive compulsive disorder Shot and killed his mommy at their home And then went to school where he killed the students Adults and himself Okay, so All right So his right to bear arms no matter what No matter what He had it and some people died Yeah Oh, that makes a lot of sense Republicans A lot of sense The Obama administration Rule required the Social Security Administration To send in the names of beneficiaries With mental impairments who also have A third party manage their benefits Why stop at guns? Let the mentally ill be able to buy a rocket launcher Shoulder-held bazooka rocket launchers Teach them how to build little baby nukes You know that that fit in a lunchbox A little little nuclear device Wow Yeah, you know what I mean, come on It's just like But lawmakers With the backing of the National Rifle Association And advocacy groups for the disabled Opposed the regulation And encouraged Congress to undertake a rarely successful process Designed to void regulations that Congress takes issue with They don't want you to discriminate Against the mentally disabled by having regulations and In other words, if they get tired of their water gun They should be able to buy an automatic weapon With a Republican ally in White House The GOP has moved aggressively On several fronts to rescind some of Obama Administration's final regulations on the environment Financial reporting and now guns Under an expedited process established Through the Congressional Review Act A regulation is made invalid When a simple majority of both chambers pass a joint Resolution of disapproval and the president signs it Senator Charles Grassley, a Republican of Iowa Spearheaded the repeal effort And said the regulation unfairly stigmatizes the disabled And infringes on their constitutional right to bear arms Oh god, oh man Oh He said that the mental disorders covered through the regulation are filled with vague characteristics That do not fit into the federal mentally defective standard Discriminate against me I can't buy Where's the AR-15? I can't buy an AR-15 Prohibiting someone from buying or owning a gun Grassley cited eating and sleep disorders As examples of illness that could allow A beneficiary to be reported To the background system if they also have a third party To manage their benefits Hey, don't you take away a person's CDL license to drive a tractor trail if that narcolepsy you're discriminating against narcoleptics So they fall asleep at the wheel but don't hurt their feelings If a specific individual is likely to be violent Due to the nature of a mental illness Then the government should have to prove it Of course it's proven Senator Chris Murphy, Democrat Connecticut Said he didn't know how He could explain to his constituents that congress Was making it easier Rather than harder For people with serious mental illness to have a gun If you can't manage your own financial affairs How can we expect You're going to be responsible steward Of a dangerous lethal firearm Senator Ron Wyden Democrat of Oregon Argued that anyone who thinks They are treated unfairly can appeal And are likely to win if they are not a danger To themselves or others They don't even think about the innocent victims They don't they don't think that's the problem. They don't think No, because they're they're upholding the National Rifle Association And the NRA really doesn't care about innocent victims either No, they care about getting money in every year From their constituents Gun rights groups Weren't the only organizations upset About the Obama administration's regulation The ACLU Criticized it The ACLU said the rule Advanced a harmful stereotype That people with mental disabilities a vast diverse group Are violent more than a dozen Advocacy groups for the disabled also opposed The Obama administration's regulation The NNACP United States Conference of Mayors National League of Cities Supported the social security administration's efforts This heartless Resolution puts the most vulnerable Americans At risk said Dan Gross President of the Brady campaign to prevent gun violence Make no mistake This vote was really about Deepening the gun industry's customer pool At the expense of those Endangered and others Oh, well, well, that was a perfect ending to a Initial topic that we had about Just how insane Our government is And it was the icing on the cake, so to speak That's it Hey, thank you for joining us for this week's progressive discussions I'm James P.
