 Then advisors. Then boots on the ground. Here we go again! How come we always seem to have money for war, but not for peace? Because war is more profitable than peace to certain people. Bingo! Goes back to money, more money, greed. When it comes to improving education, fixing bridges, or helping the poor with food stands, the government cries poverty. But for war, the money always seems to be there. Or for bailing out Wall Street. In subsidies, the money seems to be there. It was there, yes. Yes, it was. Yeah, you know. And if you're a little schmuck, you go to prison. If you're a Goldman Sachs, I don't even think you get a slap on the wrist. No. No, I heard some talk the other day. I don't know what. A couple of guys, they were being investigated, and they may go to jail and stuff, for doing something on Wall Street. But it's about time! Every one of them should be in jail. Jamie Dimon, all the guys, you know, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, all of them. How come the US media never covered what's going on in Iceland, which should be an example for the world? Well, because they want us to do here what they're doing in Greece and around the world, austerity. You see, pay the big boys out of our money, rather than take the money from them. Or let them go bankrupt! Die! That's what they're supposed to do. If your business fails, that's what you're supposed to do. Yeah, that's how the crab cake crumbles. If you own a business, or a business that turns into a huge corporation, or present corporation, present day corporation, and you go belly up, that's the way the crab cake crumbles in a free enterprise system. But not in hours, you know. We keep the dinosaurs alive, the meat anymore. They don't eat our lunch. The carnivores, the t-rexes. I mean, the corrupt greedy t-rexes keeping them alive. Yes. I mean, I don't know. What do you think about the US auto industry bailout? I know Ford would have been the only one left. They had some money, yeah. Ford actually didn't really get hurt. No, they had some money. Ford was obviously, Ford was doing the right things. Yeah, well, that was not a bailout for sale. That was a loan. They paid some of it. General Motors has paid most of it back. But GM kind of learned to... AIG and Wall Street, those weren't loans. Those were to buy up their crap, their securities that turned into crap, because they were worthless. Yeah. Mortgage-backed securities. So our tax gear may pay our money when in there and bought up that crap so that the banks could have clean, clean balance sheets. And when they had clean balance sheets and they were able to borrow money from the Fed for less than 1%, they still didn't get the money and lend it out. They let it make money in the Fed. You see? They didn't continue in their business of lending money to those who need it. It's like you. If you had three employees and at the end of the week you have to pay them and you get a bailout and you put the bailout in a savings account and you draw the interest on it every week, but you don't pay your employees. That's what they did. And of course the corporations, they kept trillions of dollars offshore, so they wouldn't have to bring it back here and pay taxes on it, you know? It's all the strangling of Uncle Sam that's been going on. Okay? Yeah. And they tried to get the money from the little guy to continue Uncle Sam. Stringage. Well, in other words, trying to get from the little guy the amounts that they no longer are paying. Look, I'm sure. Running the bank. I'm sure the Republicans and the tea baggers, tea party, I'm sure they know the truth about the job market and the economy and about welfare. People, unemployed, can't find a job and there's no work for the welfare recipient. They know the real truth, but they're objective. They come up with all this preposterous stupid ideology and Asahine comments because they just want to shrink government in every which way. Make it impotence. And privatize everything. Well, privatizing turns it all over to the corporations, the private sector. Right, exactly. That's what that's all about. I mean, I heard that. If they do that, then you have no reason for government to exist. Hey, I heard if you, you're on welfare and you win the lottery, they expect you to pay them back. Yes, they do. They want to get paid back. I have a personal knowledge of a person back in the 70s who was unemployed, had a savings, a couple of foul, lived on that for about two years. Right. And when he ran out of Mula, he went for SSI. Okay. And he received SSI until his social security disability came in. Okay. So that was like three months. So he, they swapped them. They switched him from SS supplemental security income to social security disability. But he had to pay back the $750, which was the three months of SSI when he got his first social security check. So he got like a retroactive SSD check. So they looked at every penny. Yeah. So he had to pay it back. But I'm sure, what about the corporate bailouts where they were not required to pay back? All of them were never required to pay back. I just told you, the United States taxpayer bought up all these worthless securities from the banks, so that the banks, their balance sheets look clean. What are you talking about? You see when a bank has a bank has assets, and it has, you know, whatever they call it when they're not an asset. So they used collectively the banks and I guess Goldman Sachs, they utilize what is infamously known as Ponzi scheme, right? Well, it's not a Ponzi scheme in the actual sense of it. It's a, it's cheating. It's lying flat out. It's corrupt. It's criminal. Yeah. It's criminal. Over here, they had billions and billions of dollars in worthless mortgage backed securities. Their assets over here were very limited. Okay. So all of these here did away with those assets. They were in effect bankrupt until the US taxpayer comes along and buys up all this junk. Well, now the bank, it got some assets and not clean balance sheets. Hey, hey, oh boy. You know, and then the money that they borrowed from the Fed is in the Fed drawing interest for them. So their assets, you know, grow. But when they get the money, the money's supposed to come here and it's supposed to lend out the people. You know, I know one thing's for sure. One thing's for sure. If I were winning the lottery, my money is getting put most likely into a federal credit union bank. One of those small... I wonder what they give you for interest. Well, going with the big, the big banks is... Because they got you nothing. You don't get it. It's under one percent. You don't get nothing. Like zero, point zero, 12 or something like that. When I was in high school, they were giving you five or six percent. I got six percent in 1970. Uninsured, uninsured. From the Pulaski savings bank. I remember that. In Irvington, New Jersey. I think my grandfather dealt with Spencer savings alone. We have one in lower. It is one left. It's little, but it's there. You know what I mean? As far as the big boys, what is the city bank, bank of America, they suck. Well, the Republicans back in the 1980s used the savings alone banks as their own private piggy bank and made the taxpayer pay for that bailout under Mr. Ray Gunn. Okay? The taxpayer meaning the middle class and the poor and with consumption taxes. But with Republicans, it's never, ever, ever the rich, the top 20 percent that pay, never. And they want them to pay less. Okay? You're dealing with pure corruption, people. Wake up, it's, it's like, it's, it's, it's not just Republican versus Democrat. It's, it's, the problem is the two-party system. You know, and, and, and even bigger problem is people, the American people do not get to know any of the progressive independent candidates because they don't get FaceTime. So even when they run, nobody gets to know them. They're, they're never invited to the debates. No, the two-party system owns, owns, you know, the electives. So you got your choice, Tweedledee or Tweedledum, you know, the frying pan or the furnace. And if it's a Republican, it's usually Dumber. Tweedledumber. Well, crazy like a fox, you know, somebody who pretends to be Tweedledumber. They don't pretend to be dumb, believe me. They are dumb. Because their ideology makes them that way. That's correct. You know, it's, you can see that with all these stupid Republicans who say stuff about abortions and, and rape and all this stuff. They don't know what the hell they're talking about. Yeah. Well, hey, but even, like you said, even the Democrats and Michelle Buckman have campaign contributions from corporations. Michelle Buckman and their hubby and the other reparative procedures. We can make gay people straight if we just pray to God and use the Bible and stuff. Well, that's what Republicans say to the poor. Well, we'll pray for you. So money's going to come down from the sky from God and to pay, buy food and pay your rent and... Number one, they don't understand that God doesn't hear their prayers in the first place. Well, even Angelica's feel, you can, you can talk to God anytime. Oh yeah, it's like talking to the wall. You can talk on a wall anytime you want. See that thing there? Like talking to an anonymous mask. See that thing there? Yeah. Pick it up. You mean the stovepipe? Only a few people in any era have a stovepipe to God. The 144,000. That's it. Period. The elect. Out of the seven billion in the world. Well, that's what Herbert W. Armstrong preached. That's what's in the Bible that there is no rapture to save Christians from the tribulation. In other words, they're all meant to perish. They will die. They will die with the others. Right. They will die. They will die to be resurrected at a later date. Another time. At another time. Another time and place. Right. But right now, God only calls a few to do the jobs that he needs done when Jesus comes again. Yeah, well, getting back to Bachman, I mean, I mean, believe it or not, I don't know why they still make Sarah Palin relevant. Bachman's just a bumblehead. Well, wait a second. Fox News took her back. So she will be a little bit more relevant now? Well, they like Fox News likes these idiots that have no facts to back them up. These ideologues. Because it's not a fact that channel. They think the controversy gives them the ratings. Exactly. And the ratings go up and because the sponsors like that because more idiots in One warm body. More idiots in the United States that are part of this ridiculous cult out South in the red, the red Bible States and out West in the red Bible States Bible Belt States. They watch Fox News, all these these these morons watch Fox News. You think you think these people like the instead of thinking about facts and education, you think they're concentrating more on the hype of the ideology from Fox News. They hype like like watching a prosperity preacher on TV and evangelists. It gets all funky and excited. It's like it seems to be emotionally based. Like your friend says, he has a pastor which he believes. So these people have a channel that they believe in. This pastor is awesome to him. Exactly. He the person overrides the content. And when I said to him, what makes you think that this pastor in Brooklyn is 100% accurate and he changes the subject. How can he be accurate? He preaches the traditional crap. And the amazing thing is they say they can prove it. It's in the Bible. Oh, how come every time I look it up, it ain't there? I told him, give me the verse. I mean, give me the chapter in the verse. If you'll notice, all the God projects has chapter in verse, maybe. Oh, by the way, yes. By the way, oh, by the way, I couldn't find the part in Genesis about eating meat. Nine, two or three, I think I said. So go to chapter nine. Nine. Okay. I'll take a look. Yeah. It kind of like debunks. Nine and nine. It kind of like debunks of veganism being like godly. Well, for a way to admit it now, it doesn't do that at all. You've got to, God doesn't prefer one way or the other. And veganism is just another way of eating. Yeah. So why is it, you know? It's like celibacy or not being celibate. I just saw a, I think it was in Time Magazine. What country it is, I don't know, but it eats, oh, Argentina. Argentina eats like four or five times the red meat that we do. Because it's more reasonable because the industry is so huge. But over here. No, you got to have no red meat because I heart attack. Cancer, heart disease. I know they don't, the cancer is okay. I believe that because it don't have any fiber. You have fiber, you ain't got no worry about that. But they don't say that. It's just heart disease. They never talk. Eat the red meat, it's heart disease. They never talk about sugar in the United States, like the regents. Well, I mean, they do, they do, but they, they don't demonize sugar as much as they should. In fact. In the American medical profession. On the Create Network, Chef Nick Stalino. Create Network. Yes. What the hell is that? That's the network that has food, travel, painting. Really? Nick Stalino's on that? Gardening. Nick Stalino's on that? Yeah. Really? What about Ming Sai? Is he there? He's there too. Really? Everybody's here. I haven't seen Ming Sai. Lydia Bassiani. Oh, wow. Hold on, hold on. Oh, cool, cool. But, but, guess who sponsors Nick Stalino? Domino Sugar. Oh, shit. So there you go. Oh boy. Well, hey, uh, I want to have a moment of silence for a Bergen, before I forget, I just, just reminded me, a moment of silence for a Bergen County native who passed away, our superstar of the award-winning HBO series, The Sopranos. Tony Soprano himself. James Gandolfini died of a heart attack in Italy. It's sad, but I mean, he didn't take care. He's only 51 years old. He was only 51. But obviously he didn't take care of himself. He had a history of drugs and booze and cigars. Cigars, plus he was, he was definitely overweight. And that too. You know, and I'm telling you, the white sugar, it reminded me of this white sugar, white flour, refined carbohydrates with the syndrome X, too much insulin and the blood from this, this diet. Insulin resistance. This is the reason why America is obese. Not calories in, calories out, but the refined carbs is causing this obesity, which is pretty much what the American garbage food industry produces, refined carbohydrates. And, um, this is what's causing it. And, uh, you know, the Italian American diet is loaded with, um, I'm not even going to demonize the fat in fettuccine alfredo. I'm going to demonize the white flour and the white sugar. You know, but anyway, moment of silence for James Gandolfini, who is a native of my county and, uh, no, not, not, not Reverend Bill, but my county of Bergen, Bergen County, New Jersey. I am in Bergen also. Well, he lives in Bergen, but he's from, Reverend Bill is a Pennsylvanian. Oh. But you spent a lot of years in, uh, New Jersey. I was born in Pennsylvania, yes. Yes. You were born in the, uh, in the brewery, uh. Hazelton, Pennsylvania. Oh, Hazelton, okay. Eastern portion of the state. Near Scranton, near the, near the Poconos. Wilkesbury, Scranton, Shmokin. So you were, you were North, Northeast in, in the, in the Poconos. Root 80 to Easton, Delaware Water Gap. So you were, so you were a mountain man. No, Hazelton was a city. Oh, okay. That was a city. Yeah. So like Scranton? I wasn't born in rural. Like Scranton. Like Scranton. But anyway, moment of silence for James Gandolfini, okay. And if people don't realize it, uh, my hometown of Lodi, New Jersey, happens to be the location of the original one and only Bada Bings, which is actually Satendals. It's on Lute 17 South in Lodi, New Jersey, in Bergen County. I think James Gandolfini, I think his hometown was Monterey, Vail. No, I'm sorry, Parkridge. Parkridge, New Jersey, because they mentioned Parkridge High School that he went to. But he lived, rumor has it that he lives close to us. And I had no idea how close he was, where him and his family lived. Very close to us in Bergen County. But anyway, that, you finished that article, right? Okay. That's it. Thank you for joining us for progressive discussions. And we'll see you next time. Unfortunately, we're supposed to get a bit of a heat wave this coming. In the 90s, but thunderstorm, which I don't understand, how do you have, how do you have so many thunderstorms and have it be 90 degrees and humid? Yeah, well, in other words, the hot air doesn't meet the cold air. In other words, it thunderstorms, but it does not alleviate the oppressive heat and humidity. Well, it's a wonder how the thunderstorm begins in the first place, because there's no cold air. Yeah, because you need a hot air has to heat, hit the cold air and then boom, boom, a thundercloud. Yeah, the cold front meets the warm front. And just like if you pour hot water over a glass of ice cubes, you hear noise. You hear a lot of cracking noise. Cracking. That's another talk show that the melting, the melting poles. But of course, the conservatives say it's just the planet Earth just changes every so many thousands of years. It's really not. Don't blame the smokestacks. No, don't blame the petroleum industry. Don't blame corporations, the smokestacks. Don't blame the destruction of the rainforest for global warming. You don't, you don't need trees. You don't need trees like Rushland, but you just say you don't need dolphins and whales. They're really stupid animals. You don't need this or anything that, that, that, that hinders business making a profit. No, making more profit. You see, this is a, this is a, this is a thing that our people today, they get caught up in this thing. Or are you trying to tell me that corporations and businesses in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s didn't make profits? They always did. Of course they did. A fair. Today, they make enormous profits. Right, at the expense of the planet and people. Correct. They've siphoned it upward. Whereas companies, corporations during FDR and Truman and Eisenhower made fair profits, not at the expense of people on the planet. They made so much profits, by the way, that instead of paying their people more wages, they made a tacit agreement with the government. You know what? Instead of paying their people more wages, we'll give them health insurance. We'll give them pensions. Fringe benefits. And that we could use as tax write-off. And that's what happened then. So you mean to tell me they weren't making any profits? They weren't making profits to do. The wealthy always cry, poverty. They always cry. But that's just to, like the magician, with the misdirection. Slight of hand. Slight of hand. Don't look over here. Don't look here. Look over there. That poor slob, he's on food stamps. He's taking our money. Right. And they're doing something else that you don't see. Well, William H. Moreau III, as well as yourself, both of you has told me that as a rule of thumb, everybody applying for social security disability gets automatically turned down the first time. Correct. And in other words, they're playing a numbers game. That's a policy. It's like a numbers game. Like they feel that the odds are that a lot of people won't fight it and they won't appeal it. Like one-third. Right. Which is also kind of unethical on their part to do that. Of course it's unethical. But it took a whistleblower like all stuff, which is an organization of lawyers that fight for your social security benefit. Okay. Okay. They had to expose that policy. Ah, good for them. Okay. No one knew about that. Good for them. With the closest viewers. And I also want to thank, speaking of what Bill said, I want to thank all the pro bono attorneys, power legals and other people out there that are helping the poor fight the government to get what is rightfully theirs by law, by law. Oh, they want to change that, don't they? This one individual I want to salute in Bergen County, New Jersey. Her name is Jackie. She does just that, a friend of William H. Morrill, the therapist.
