Okay. We're back. God willing, after a long hiatus, we're back for the second week of Progressive Discussions. I'm your host. Well, I don't have to tell you who I am because you see the intro, but we're Progressive Discussions and we are on, of course, YouTube, Google, and Twitter. Yeah, along with Trump. Yeah. Oh, yeah, great. Oh, you see, although you see those demons smiling from ear to ear, Paul Ryan and the evangelical nut, Mike Pence, with their, there were so ecstatic about getting, well, voting down Obamacare. About the show they put on, because that's all it was. Yeah. Oh, he's a genius. Yeah, Donald Trump. Oh, where's Paul Ryan? Where is he? Oh, what a genius, man. Oh, he's great. And of course, Paul Ryan is like, he's loving it, man. He's laughing and smiling. Oh, what he did, what he did for me with the Affordable Care Act, he put together such a beautiful, perfect healthcare plan for America, for America. Oh, what a genius that Paul Ryan is. Oh, I didn't see turtle face, but Paul Ryan was there. That's why I, that's why it gave the $600 billion tax cuts to the Ridge and knocked on, gonna knock off 24 million people deserving of healthcare. And the multi, multi-billionaire Walton family is just one tiny example of the massive tax cuts, or God knows how much money they get in corporate welfare. No, well, they're gonna get that cut, too. That's just, that's just one example. The rich are gonna get everything, including free welfare on the taxpayers' dole. Meanwhile, the poor will get next to nothing according to Congress.  Well, you need 61. 61 to override a filibuster. Let's see what happens, but I know the Democrats are gonna be livid, and you're gonna see a lot of videos of screaming Democrats, well, progressives also. And once they expose exactly what it was, the rep, a lot of Republicans are gonna be out in 2018. Yes, our revolution has been going live streamed videos quite often. And once in a while, Elizabeth Warren appears there, with Bernie Sanders, and so on. And you know what? I've learned one thing. There are more progressives throughout the United States, even in the so-called red states than I thought, because they're showing up. There are many, you know, he might have gotten screwed over in the 2016 primaries Bernie Sanders campaign, but, but he has sparked a revolution, because all of these progressive candidates and politicians are coming out of the woodwork, and many of them young people, well, they're not geezers, because the geezers are already corrupted. They're already, they've been on to take their whole life. You know what I mean? The old farts, like, you know, your Mitch McConnell, so and so on. Then you got scumbags like Muppetface Paul Ryan. I mean, the establishment is already on to take. I don't know if the DNC can be saved. I don't know if they can, if they will see the Holy Spirit ever. Maybe not. But there is a revolution, a grassroots revolution going on. I watched, I never saw it before. I went to Aura TV and I watched the show when Jill Stein was on Jesse Ventura's Off the Grid and the both of them couldn't be better. Jill Stein really impressed me when she was on, because Jesse Ventura is a great interviewer, and he is an independent progressive for the most part. He is, for the most part, great show. Oh, I forgot. Five Lucky Bells. I'm sorry. Seven. And I'm not even drinking Yin-Ling beer today. There's no booze today. Seven Lucky Bells for this week's show. Seven. And everything we discussed politically is part of our series, Crappitalism in a Conk Show. There's the conk soaking that conk energy. King Neptune is on a business trip right now. That's why he didn't pick up the call. Anyway, a gentleman by the name of David from Morris County, New Jersey, was telling me that he finally, through blood, sweat and tears, he finally got his Social Security disability after going through hell with New Jersey's welfare system, health and human services, whatever. And the crumbs, the few crumbs that they throw you. All these social service programs coming from the state.  They are equivalent to a few crumbs. That's all. They don't solve the problem. They really don't. It's like taking pharmaceutical drugs to mask the symptoms of a deep-rooted underlying disease. So, David says to me, alright, I got Social Security disability and Medicare.  Now, to a low-income person or a person living on a fixed income, 20% of a medical bill is a little hell of a lot of money. Now, it can be. So he applied for, through the state of New Jersey, he did get approved, thank God, for PAAD and Lifeline, which pays for pharmaceuticals. PAAD. It's for the aged and the disabled. And I think, po-folk, right? Alright. So, you got to approve for those two. But the other two, SL, QMB and SLMD, which pays for your Medicare, yeah. Part B. Part B? Well, they said that they'll pay for, if you're approved, they'll pay for Medicare premiums, which comes about- Part B only, which is like $114 a month. Okay. Part B. So it doesn't pay for all.  You know what?  You are bonafide douchebags. I would say that there are probably states that offer less than New Jersey.  If you sleep on a park bench, they arrest you for vagrants, and they put you in a privatized prison and you work for slave labor. So anyway, so David was turned down for the SLMB and the QMB because he, his retroactive money from social security disability, which he has in his checking account, it's too high. The state wants you to have nothing, almost nothing in the bank. Well, they want you to have a chicken scratch. Same thing when you get on Medicaid.  You gotta be in the gutter. We're gonna pay down, baby. Reverend Dr. Bill, you have to be in the gutter in order to get that precious Medicaid that most doctors, probably all doctors in private practice refuse to accept. And what does that mean?  You'll see, quite often you'll see a nurse practitioner who can prescribe or an intern from another country that barely speaks English. This is what you, this is what capitalism, capitalism offers poor people low income. And don't forget now, the middle class is, is gradually becoming part of the low income category because the middle class shrinks in a right wing conservative controlled capitalist system. Okay. Now that's part one of my monologue.  He's got to somehow he's got to get himself an HMO, which is more privatization of healthcare. HMO, which means they got to deduct more money from his social security disability check. And in the richest country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, we should not have to pay out of pocket for healthcare.  You know what? You don't want weed of people to have universal single payer healthcare. You know what's a great idea? You should pay out of pocket also for your healthcare. Congress, Republican Congress and the Senate, you know, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I'm riled up for another reason. Okay. I appealed what happened to me recently. What happened to me was my Facebook account was disabled because I posted that was given to me by an old friend who's a very popular professional wrestler. I was given a link to very extremely risque photographs of the WWE superstar Charlotte Flair, professional wrestler, the daughter of Nature Boy Ric Flair. And why on earth do these women, I don't want to call them ladies, why on earth do these women in a spotlight post naked photos and photos of them in their underwear in a hotel bathroom selfies, they call them. They take them with their smartphone. Why on earth do they post these or give these to someone who might be spiteful and post them on the internet? Don't they realize that if there's any chance of them getting on the internet, that's it man. Once it's out there on the internet, you're not taking it back. Okay.  Her mother wants to sue everybody who is posting her daughter's video.  So now, like I said before, once it's out there, it is out there.  Tom, if you're in front of me, I would slowly exphyxiate you like an Anaconda and I can do it because he ratted me out because he ratted me out to Facebook my all the the years I guess of hard work building my my five Facebook groups and my two Facebook pages including progressive discussion discussions Facebook page has all gone to waste because because of censorship because one of my five groups is called well one of my former five groups is called this group is about nothing. Yes, it was named after the Seinfeld episode about the show about nothing. I did as as a goof and experiment based on rebellion of me being in other people's groups that were pretty much dictatorships had strict rules exercise censorship and if you don't if you don't march to their the beat of their drum they threaten to get rid of you from their group so based on rebellion and based on an anti censorship attitude I created this group now yes I posted the link but when I appealed Facebook I says you know when you initially punished me by blocking my activity for three days I just want you to know I could not remove that link of Charlotte Flair I couldn't remove it because I was blocked from any posting of comments uploading of anything so how can I possibly take it off the group I would have happily taken took it off the group so that was my appeal guess what because of Facebook office politics they turned me down and said yeah you're permanently your account is permanently disabled now I mentioned this on Twitter what happened to me and this is based on uh the subject of censorship now the Reverend Dr. William J. Eisenman knows that subject very well because that is fighting it for moon moon that that inspired him to start his newsletter since 1977 called censored because he himself was a personally was a victim of censorship I mean and somebody on Twitter says oh you shouldn't post this this kind of information I says yeah but where does censorship end where does it end so since I'm permanently permanently gone from Facebook okay I reply to Facebook corporate office and I says you know I'm gonna do a show and for the longest time I will tell the truth about my experience on Facebook every day and night I was bombarded with scammers with fake American profiles that's right scammers from Ghana and mostly Nigeria that use a very attractive professional modeling type um and and risque photos of of Caucasian American women with fake profiles um constantly bombarding me with instant messages and and uh and messages in my Facebook inbox to try to be friend me and of course they eventually give you a hard luck story and then they hit you up for money in that process their cell phone is always broken they cannot video chat with you because I guess they don't have a webcam and their webcam is always broken then eventually they say well I'm not in the United States right now I'm actually living in Nigeria now why on earth would a Caucasian a beautiful young female would modeling photos be living in a in a lesser than third in a worse than a third world country okay then they say they give the same hard luck story well my parents died in a car crash and I'm living in a hotel oh what hotel chains are in Ghana and Nigeria pray tell please tell me so anyway there's a there are many red flags that pop up with a fake profile anyway Facebook allows them in legions legions to come into Facebook and this is not counting the constant barrage of spamming and and advertisement and constantly being harassed by Facebook to spend three dollars five dollars ten dollars to supposedly boost every post you make on your Facebook page they want you to pay for every single post Mark Zuckerberg you're a blood sucking parasite that big Zionist nose of his I'm telling you what a beautiful fantasy that would be is to take a pair of vice grips and twist that big eagle beak right off his fucking face how dare you permanently bar James P Madonna of mega life 21 you son of a bitch but aside from him yeah the guy who wants to kick all native Hawaiians off the island where him and his Asian wife own 700 acres 700 acres is not enough for the very wealthy Mark Zuckerberg now he wants the whole island to himself I read that article so anyway censorship is a very serious subject where does it end where does it end it starts with one thing and then it goes on and on but aside from that I am very active right now on Twitter under mega life 21 James P Madonna look me up I'm also I have a Google communities page a Google profile I am on Google Hangouts under progressive discussions and let's see I'm on YouTube of course under mega life 21 I was told Instagram is really kind of a kid it's really not more for pictures I believe photo photo gallery photo stuff yeah you know what you know the all of the the women of of the world's oldest profession you know I heard that they use tumblr.com because tumblr which is kind of similar to Instagram allows very risque photographs they don't get removed so they're able to advertise their craft so to speak so anyway that's that getting back to health care I'm sure there must be some articles about the lovely republicans and what they want to do to our health care system and and I don't know what genius Paul Ryan came up with to be honest with you I don't know what Donald Trump is talking about but all it all it was was getting things together amendments and etc to be put in the bill that would bring everyone together it was a show it has nothing to do with producing a better system oh like a photo opportunity that's like that like the photo ops at GW bushes that used to that's what it turned out to be yes absolutely okay because there is no improvements whatsoever well they want to they they they have they either want to or have eliminated the pre-existing yes the companies can do that which means a lot of people might get turned down for for employment if they have around 37% of people will not be able to get insurance 37% of Americans will not have pre-existing conditions will not be able to get insured think about that you know what so that uh you know it was a show that's all it was a show to get votes to get something passed and you know what Bernie Sanders he has done nothing since he's been in there do you understand that play by except play go over a hundred days except play golf whatever he did but he accused obama for taking vacations all the time nothing has been done everything he promised during his 2016 campaign right has never come to reality nothing except him playing golf and and and fraternizing with other rich people i believe last night was the first time he's come back to new york since he became president really oh his wife and his son was living in in Manhattan all this time right or is his work because i see his wife getting off the plane with him but is a Ivanka and then usher or whatever and kushner they're at the white house kushner's at the white house the son alone if you look every time he's got a photo up there sitting there you know talk about nepotism and cronyism boy i tell you under a right wing capitalist system there's three words that stand out number one hypocrisy as in hypocrites number two nepotism and number three cronyism crony cat crony capitalism uh ever since the industrial revolution this is what we've had a rigged system and um you know what bernie is smart for going on tour being interviewed going on every show he can possibly go on because the revolution is growing and there are people in so-called red states that are getting very angry they're what they're starting to catch on they're starting to finally catch on yeah you know like uh hey wait a minute i'm already i'm already living in a shack and now and now you want to take away what i what i was surviving on and now i'm even worse off than being in a shack it's like i want to take my electricity now now if you're an intelligent progressive which usually progressives are pretty smart people unfortunately they they want to negotiate and they want to they want peaceful protesting and they want to sing kumbaya but they're they're very very intelligent they already know they knew from years ago when the republicans first took over who was president then was that clinton when the republicans took the house yeah took the house and rush limbaugh was so static over that yeah yeah contract with america yeah contract on america on america now ever since then progressives they knew what was going on then eventually the word conspiracy theory became popular jesse ventures started that show on true tv absolutely i mean by the way jesse show was taken off the air by true tv you don't even see the reruns anyway um then all of a sudden conspiracy theories slowly gradually started becoming reality and then you had groups like anonymous wiki leaks with julie nissange and of course the people that were being exposed want to throw people like julie nissange and the ones that run anonymous in prison and they want to they want to call them traitors and this and that of course because they look if you hit a raw nerve if you expose somebody who's guilty with facts you know what i mean they don't like that well then they call it fake news you mean you mean news that they don't like alternative alternative facts as conway says trump has alternative fact the bergen county uh native conway yes conway yes yeah not conway twitty no i liked i loved his music conway twitty is dead he's he's dead he's dead with that big who font uh um al sharp no um yeah al sharp then the white al sharp then hairstyle he had that big con you know 70s in the 70s everybody had big hair well the women had big hair in the 80s but anyway i digress uh anyway let us sink our teeth into these readings because i just i'm sorry but i just had to lower the boom with this uh whopping monologue oh boy oh boy now my show the show that i'm uh that i'm going to do in the very near future with uh the renaissance man the evangelist can create i will expose uh relationship dating and relationships of today and online dating will be thoroughly exposed because honestly it only works love only works if you're totally honest which includes your profile that you're posting online you must be totally honest and the other people the men and women both must be totally honest otherwise you cannot achieve the success in finding that love connection and i will go into details on that show all right go ahead many measures the job market is in its best shape since before the great recession excuse me oh it is the unemployment rate now is just 4.4 percent well that's that's it's lowest level in a decade really where were all these jobs come from employers have added a solid average of 186 000 jobs a month over the past year well uh from what i've seen uh employers uh they don't want entry level anyone fresh out of school they want experience certification a degree and this and they want an awful lot to uh if you want a job in the united states so i don't know where all these qualified people are getting work it all reflects a remarkable recovery from the depths of the recession during which employers slash nine million jobs and unemployment hit 10 percent the first time the rate had reached double digits in one quarter of a century now with the job market at or near full health where is hiring particularly strongest yeah hamburger flipping jobs below are the five industries with the fastest job growth over the past 12 months according to the labor department number one software and information technology oh when i graduated from uh uh uh lincoln tech technical school as a um um certified as a networking uh computer technician they told me that the government website was wrong it is no longer in demand it has been outsourced so now it's in demand oh it's up four percent or 79 300 jobs oh really as more business is conducted online companies of all sizes and in practically every industry need website designers oh that too i was going to take that course and they told me it wasn't in demand app developers a while ago and data analysts website design i didn't think companies will have that in the budget the rising demand for such workers has fueled an explosion in high paying software and it jobs but you don't need a degree from stanford or mit to be hired many companies are hiring graduates really of six month coding boot camps yeah what is that like an internship where you work for free no when you go to school for like six months three months i learned something so so what this article from the department of labor is saying is that uh american companies are are you know going easy on applicants now going easier on applicants number two number two temp jobs well you can't really rely on unless you got non-sub temp jobs you know up 3.9 percent or 112 400 jobs good googly good this is good and bad sharp increases in temp hiring can signal that companies are enjoying more customer demand and need more labor if rising demand endures the thinking goes companies will eventually hire many permanent workers the bad news though is that regardless of their customer demand companies are increasingly turning to often lower paid temps contractors and gig workers to keep their staffing levels flexible and control their labor costs well i know and the entertainment industry a gig is usually consists of one day's work like like uh doing an event uh show that could be it the comedian or the musician or the singer is booked to do a gig do a gig and that's it and that's it then you wait for your agent to tell you about the next gig it's a temp job but usually it pays a hell of a lot more than regular people number three office work construction well well that pays a lot but it could be dangerous up 2.6 percent or 173 000 jobs if we had the america's infrastructure prioritized that would equate to a hell of a lot more jobs than that yeah you know what i mean and uh and a lot of those jobs are union jobs which i gotta salute america's unions excuse me because i was in the union and in the butcher's union for 10 years when i worked when i processed seafood so i have to salute america's unions it was part of the afl cio was owned by them teams the butcher's union meat cutters union with home building on the upswing and many americans renovating their houses construction workers are in sharp demand this group includes plumbers well plumbers are always in yeah what a sticky job that is but you get paid a lot electricians yeah somebody's got to do it and painters somebody's got to do that too as well as people who pour concrete yep and build wooden frame that's true and and you know what even mason workers there's there's a demand for a good mason worker but look at all those advertisement i see about the pavement paving you know patios armor tag armor tag that guy the guy that talks like this you're gonna you're gonna love the way you're you're no that's a he got that's the guy with the suit yeah he got fired men's uh warehouse for men's warehouse i missed that guy you're gonna like the way you look i guarantee it no this is he's gotta he talks like this architect architect i'm 140 years old number four me the levity bells hold on number four number four healthcare uh you know what with with the toxins in in in america's food supply and supermarkets and with the uh with the uh the chemtrails above and all the pollutants around us there is a never-ending flow of patience for uh the american healthcare system racket i'm sorry the american healthcare racket up 2.2 percent or 337 000 jobs you know that's probably being a conservative amount that that that i mean there you know what the problem is there's there are many uh i think h1b visa people that are coming in because every time i ever went to a medical center a clinic or a hospital i've seen nothing but uh immigrant workers nurses um physicians you know the hospital i was going to for about a while had uh uh interned doctors from pakistan when i when i used to go to bergen regional medical center in paramus new jersey they were all like interns from pakistan so i imagine they they are h1b visa physicians this category has been among the most reliable sources of job growth since the recession ended in 2009 many of the jobs in this industry doctors and nurses and dentists pay well but not all do one of the fastest areas of hiring has been for home health aids yeah and guess what they don't show up uh many of them uh don't even speak good english yeah they don't some of them don't speak any english at all and um and the ones that speak english have a heavy accent um i know because uh my mother who's 85 years old has uh has had caregivers come to the house and you have to really emphasize that the person speaks good english otherwise send them to like if they don't speak good english and they and they own and they speak predominantly spanish give them spanish clients spanish speaking uh clients that's all one of the fastest areas of hiring has been home health aids who typically earn only 11 dollars an hour what did i say h1b low salaried employees american greed in capitalism still they but they love that slave labor if they can get you on a privatized prison all the republicans would love that some health care workers can earn solid pay solid pay without advanced degrees x-ray technicians for example can make 60 000 a year with a two-year degree oh then my uh the guy the guy used to work with uh anthony mesacapo's uh wife must be making a pretty good money because she she i think i believe she was a x-ray technician is one is one education up to point two percent or 76 900 jobs yeah well guess what less people are going to become teachers because republicans don't want teachers to get a professional salary that's for sure they want non-union teachers to work cheap for a bunch of monsters that bring weapons into school oh yeah great career they send you uh some of them are sent to bad neighborhoods to teach fuck that another reliable job creator the education industry includes everything chris christie wanted to do that from teachers school administrators principals to bus drivers and cafeteria workers well chicken feed pay it does not keep up with the cost of living and it covers private schools and colleges as well as tutoring services hey bill morrow says uh hey if uh if you don't like working for less money and less benefits then the company will just get rid of you and you know he like he said it like it was like he he was happy about that i said he said it like it it's supposed to be that way that companies are supposed to be in charge of you but he is retired and is anywhere around he is retired and living on a fixed income so he is when he puts down progressive politicians of the past and puts down unions he is putting down everybody who gave him what he's got right all all the benefits that people enjoy today yeah with labor laws and everything and and uh um safety nets and social services and having having all the things that people that poor people and people living on fixed incomes enjoy today this came from thank you union this came from progressive liberal politicians starting with i guess fdr no before that but it was somebody nice before fdr there was a lot of people they've been screaming and yelling about it since the industrial revolution oh that's right i saw a documentary 1880s i saw a documentary on the travel channel and they and they showed they were they were progressive listen every every every uh republican scumbag since the uh the beginning of the 20th century that won the election that was very suspicious in how they won it and uh there was always they always ran up against a progressive democrat who was truly progressive they weren't blue dog moderates or anything like that and uh they won very uh suspiciously and uh i think it was wasn't it a republican that was a president during the great depression yeah hoover herbert hoover is his name and before him was uh coolage coolage yeah the only the only great republican was uh teddy rooseville he was a cool he was a progressive ronnie ram Lincoln he was progressive also that's when republicans were republicans they are not anymore ever since the civil war but they are southerners let us let us not forget another great republican Dwight d eisenhower yeah but he wasn't a southerner no when he had he had a uh a very fair like 90 percent uh tax rate on the rich because that's what it used to be that's what it was taxes were for the rich they are not for the poor but these these average teabaggers that that live uh month to month a week to week they they say oh it's not that doesn't sound very fair a 90 percent tax rate on the rich but who got them to say that probably brainwashed them over all the years so that they would say that probably fox news oh fox news wasn't around at that oh um the rich oh it's been a game they've been playing for over 120 years you mean conservative propaganda exactly to get them to agree with them brain they know they're out numbered okay the rich and big corporations are outnumbered by the poor and the middle class and if the poor in the middle class ever got their acts together there would be nothing the asses of the masses with torches and pitchforks hey look look at look at the way they block the poor the the uh the uh average joe six pack from voting you have the gerrymandering and and uh you have uh maybe the rigging of electronic voting booths uh let's just stay gerrymandering that's a that's a proven fact because they're outnumbered if they ever you know we ever got together and did our things correctly they would have no say in the government that's at all look at the people who got hoodwinked into voting for donald trump in 2016 there you go look at the people who he drained a swamp all he did was bring the swamp in the white house further well when you drain the swamp all you what you have on the bottom are bottom feeding creatures and that's exactly what he appointed in his cabinet you discover them down there the their bottom is no longer covered with you know this pond scum this pond scum man they're all their bottom feeders covered with pond scum when you drain the swamp all the muck that's left you know uh uh you know and then you got like the biggest mystery of all when bernie sanders got screwed you did not see angry protesting but when donald trump beat hillary clinton you saw a lot of angry protest i could never be a shrink a psychologist or a psychiatrist because the very the very illogic of human behavior would send my blood pressure through the like i i just couldn't do it anyway a brilliant blue color sometimes discovered accidentally by oregon state university chemists will soon be the newest addition to the crayola box are you serious i am serious we're talking about the crayola color you're a funny guy inspired by the blue pigment known as yinmin blue oh it's a chinese blue yinmin yinmin blue sounds like uh like a korean politician is the replacement for the recently retired dandelion crayola why did they retire i thought i think the dandelion blossom is a very nice golden color it's like a marigold which is calendula actually the vibrant blue was discovered by oregon state university chemists who were heating up chemicals in hopes of finding new materials that could be used in electronics in what the university calls a serendipitous discovery serendipitous dip it is one of the chemical mixes came out of the furnace a striking blue the yinmin the moniker comes from the elements that comprise it triumph indium manganese and oxygen well some of those sound like trace minerals with the discovery of yinmin brand new pigment who other than crayola would be best to bring it to life the crayon company told fans in march that the new color would be in the blue family but offered a few details vad gift mr vad that kath said crayola chose a color in the blue family because previous consumer polling showed that the color blue time and again has been americans favorite well there are many shades of blue if now you know then uh i remember when kobo blue became very popular before that you had midnight blue navy blue turquoise blue uh blue green which is a lovely color or ocean ocean what the hell did i call ocean green ocean green is like a blue green or teal they used to call it teal i can't believe i'm talking about this unprogressive discussion all right go ahead go ahead continue moss sub ramion and organ state university chemist okay found the color with his then grad student he said chemists in many ways have a lot in common with the children who soon will use the yinmin blue color i got a new sphere it will be very young children because the kids are so advanced today they're there they're on their tablets they're on their tablets and laptops and smartphones they're not they're not they're not coloring any books you're talking about like like today kindergarten kids today doctors are using coloring books for people with high blood pressure they they discovered that pets it cats and dogs and and uh bonding with it with a pet it is very soothing to the to uh sick people you know and the elderly and then hypertensive people you know curiosity starts at a young age as chemists we are curious just like kids i can understand the excitement of adding a new crayon color to the box like adding a new element to the periodic table crayon fans will have the opportunity to name the new color by submitting suggestions through crayola's website through june the second on july the first crayola will announce five of the top color names for the new blue and allow people to vote through august the company will announce the fan selected color name winner and six grand prize winners in september all right uh we got one more article before lunch well and one more reading before lunch and um then when we come back i want to mention something that i learned by watching the science channel hey something very uh important for people that are paralyzed disabled that has to do with stem cells and um um well no i might as well say it now stem so it's i learned why the embryonic stem cell is the most important stem cell in stem cell research because the embryonic stem cell can become whatever stem so is important to that area of the body it can it can convert undifferentiated right we're like in other words if the person needs a stem cell uh therapy in a certain part of the body you have to use stem cells normally that are that are oh excuse me that are of that part of the body i'm not an expert in in this subject but like like um a particular organ or nerve nerve cells you have to use only those stem cells but with the embryonic stem cells right it can adapt and and and um develop into that the very stem cell that that patient needs right and the only thing with the embryonic even though scientists kind of discovered a better way to acquire them is you have these uh stupid fucking uh idiot idiot evangelical right wing religious nuts the zealots that uh really don't want sick people they don't really give a shit about more or sick people actually or babies once you're born exactly if you're in a womb they care about you a lot when you're born you're a moocher oh yeah to a right wing person all right one more the founders understood the importance of free speech a free press and the right to practice any religion and to keep religion separate from law it was so important it is listed first in the bill of rights i know you gave me a small booklet on the constitution i i still i found that nowhere in those 45 words is anything about exempting churches or faith-based institutions from paying taxes or allowing those institutions to raise tax-free dollars to influence public elections that's exactly i had no idea what this reading was about and i hit the nail on the head these these mega churches and tv evangelists and uh and uh right wing pastors that want to stick their pinocchio nose into american politics and get away scott free uh i oh incidentally i never hear of right wing pastors donating any money to to help the poor like people like joe holstein you know you i i never hear of any of them uh a directing money towards the poor the homeless starving children and such okay yes that may now come to pass oh really on thursday interesting donald trump mark the national day of prayer oh like he knows the bible by signing an executive order that muddies the water that should separate church from state muddies the water the president had set his sights on the so-called johnson amendment okay named after then u.s senator linden johnson linden baines johnson before he became the vice president to jfk okay it bars tax exempt religious organizations from endorsing candidates it does not prevent them from speaking out on issues or legislation they could speak out that you just cannot apply uh uh religious views to law just from endorsing candidates to some religious conservatives it is an anti-faith law well they haven't be able been able to prove their faith so therefore it should never be part of any law on a practical level the internal revenue service rarely enforced the law and as part of the tax code trump cannot eliminate the law that's amazing how they how seriously people take a a a religion or or or a cult so seriously that like like look at it like it's it's proven fact and and that it should influence law right i mean i mean it's not it makes no sense it's a logical only congress can do that but while the irs has not made this a priority in the past the president is opening the church door to a potential flood of campaign money all of it tax-free yeah individuals could donate to a church knowing it would go toward electing a particular candidate who was making those contributions will be shielded from the public eye and houses of worship could become the new super PAC this is exactly what the founders did not want absolutely true religions influencing elections religion is based on faith which is hope it is not based on proven fact or science it's like it's like a paranoid person a paranoid woman that perceives that that man is looked at her because he is undressing her with his eyes that is beast what i used to say in the old days masher masher she's perceiving this it's her perception it is not it is not fact and the same thing applies to everything in life prove all things hold fast that which is good was it one Thessalonians five or five one of those that's five twenty one something like that yeah and i posted that on my twitter page it's on the newsletter if the newsletter ever gets back into operation i also posted to timothy how people will become in the end times which is uh just about right today back in accuracy you know still conservatives are not exactly cheering the executive order of course not most pastors are not interested in public politicking from pulpit you know what religious conservatives wanted was something more draconian well they want they want the world to be uh thought of as flat again they want to they want to do with the catholic church did during the middle ages suppress science suppress uh anything that contradicts the powers that be the president did not give private businesses carte blanche to deny services to same sex couples using religion as justification for discrimination and it is also unclear how far the trump administration will go in allowing businesses with direct religious ties or private businesses that claim to be faith influenced in denying contraception coverage oh yeah republicans they they hate plant paranoid yeah because because they care about the unborn the unborn but if you're born they don't give a shit about you given the administration support of the case of the little sisters of the poor which runs nursing homes and wanted a federal waiver from providing such coverage it is possible some employees of religious affiliated hospitals and schools may find their health coverage limited speaking before signing the executive order at the white house the president said faith is deeply embedded in the history of our country deeply embedded if we're so deeply embedded how come our founding fathers wanted to keep it separated no americans this is yeah forced to choose between the dictates of the american government and the tenants of their faith you know one of the founding fathers stated that this is not a christian nation or a nation of any particular religion for that matter it's in the treaty with triple e the muslims a treaty that they had george washington signed with triple e the triple e pirates and etc i didn't know this way back when i'm loining i'm loining something just like i learned about embryonic stem cells on the science channel there are legitimate exemptions for worship but there shouldn't be any for selling wedding cakes and floral arrangements the united states is ruled by civil law not religious tenants americans do not get to pick the true and choose the laws they like and the easier it becomes for religious organizations to use their tax exempt status to raise money to elect candidates of their liking more likely america becomes less about religious freedom and more about religious homogeneity homogenous homogenous like conservatives should be pasteurized in my opinion it boiled down we see trumps executive order as a first step but it is not the step in the right direction outstanding reading before lunch by the way are you are you okay with your supplement taking are you are you continuing what you've been doing

brought forward and today but it's not my lunch but it's my it's my supplement to my lunch you okay chief yeah all right oh you want to start well I you had to say start well the show is being recorded now where what do you what do you think that sound was from our camera person that little chime that meant we're ready to go Donald Trump to resume the presidential transition team challenged the veracity of U.S. intelligence assessments that Russia was trying to tip the November election to the republic a top senate democrat demanded a full congressional investigation the CIA has now concluded with high confidence that Moscow was not only interfering with the election but that its actions were intended to help Trump well Vladimir Putin has business with uh you know with uh Trump and Trump uh uh people yeah and also bring into his and also big oil oh American big oil and guess who gets a piece of that uh Putin so Putin is like more or less had one guy a big oil man killed I mean a Russian oil man and took over his uh place let's say far as the oil you know the money coming in from the oil was isn't that um isn't isn't that uh common with uh any opposition yes any opposition to Vladimir Putin yeah exactly so so Vladimir Putin is is not a socialist but he's a uh a cap very much a capitalist and and and a dictator did you ever hear when you saw the uh the godfather they were all sitting around the table all the crooks you know and and the one guy says when they talked what they were talking about and the one guy says well what do you think we all are communists they all know man they're capitalists to the tea well yeah hey he do he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent the assessment is based in part on evidence that Russian actors had hacked republicans as well as democrats but we're only releasing information harmful to Hillary Clinton well Vladimir Putin sure as hell didn't help Bernie Sanders haha the official was not authorized to discuss the private intelligence assessment publicly and insisted on anonymity Trump's public dismissal of the CIA assessment raises questions about how he will treat information from intelligence agencies as president his view also puts republicans in the uncomfortable position of choosing between the incoming president and intelligence communities in a statement Trump's transition team said the finger pointing at Russia was coming from the same people that said Saddam has seen a saying had weapons of mass destruction yeah they never found it Sean Spicer denied a New York Times report that Russia had broken into the republican national committee's computer networks the US official disclosed the CIA assessment to the Associated Press said only that republican entities had been targeted during the election democratic senator Schumer said he would press for a congressional investigation that any country could be meddling in our elections should shake both political parties to their core oh yeah well i doubt this should be no well this should be no internal meddling either should be a fair election he said it's imperative that our intelligence communities turns over any relevant information so that the congress can conduct a full investigation are they really going to conduct a full investigation senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham also said they plan to pursue investigations into Russian election interference other republicans have played down the reports Texas senator John Cornyn wrote on twitter that russian had been going on for years he said the matter was serious but hardly news there was no immediate official response oh boy from Moscow thanks to underhanded tactics and rigged elections we still have to live in this pay out of pocket for everything capitalist system but olay moras of a member of the foreign relations committee in the upper house of the russian parliament dismissed the claim of russian interference as silliness silliness paranoia well the people that were for those that got elected like Donald Trump will say that like the fake news accusers moras of describe the allegations as an attempt to force the next administration to stick to obama's anti-russian courts president obama has ordered a full-scale review of pan campaign season cyber attacks to be completed before he leaves office in january the election campaigning an election system should definitely needs reforming just like everything else the investigation ordered by obama will be a deep dive into a possible pattern of increased malicious cyber activity time to the campaign season white house spokesman eric schultz said including the email hacks that rattled the presidential campaign it will look at the tactics targets key actors and u.s. government's response to the recent email the president ordered up the report earlier in the week asked that it be completed before he leaves office next month the president wanted this done under his watch because he takes it very seriously we are committed to ensuring the integrity of our elections the kremlin has rejected the hacking activations for in the months leading up to the election email accounts of democratic party officials and top Hillary Clinton campaign aid were breached emails were leaked and embarrassing and private emails posted online many democrats believe the hackings benefited trumps did for the white house excuse me tis the season for pollen oh excuse me um but um i'll be late it happy sink of the mile to all mexican people okay let's sink of the mile was yesterday okay the greatest show on earth is getting its curtain call that's what that was like old hat nobody really cared about the circus anymore felled under entertainment owner of the wringling brothers and barnamon and bailey sarca said in his statement the show will end its 146 year run in may so i was right yeah nobody the kid kids are kids are not different you know uh i guess the innocence they don't like clowns and i have it naivety naivety is that a word the innocence and naivety of of today's modern children it's just too old too corny or old-fashioned i don't know something about it they live entertainment variety shows and on our thing in the past that clowns clowns yes some people have a phobia of clowns nobody like clowns anymore well the guy the guy who um who runs the um the travel channel show a ghost adventure zack baggins he has a phobia of clowns and dolls you know like like like ventriloquist dummies and well any dolls you know which is um i don't know if there's a similarity between a fear of clowns and a fear of dolls but they can be spooky you know the iconic circus declined in recent years and the high offering costs and long costly legal battles with animal rights groups such as the one to eliminate elephant acts oh they they abuse those poor elephants they they chain their ankles and they they hit them oh and um well the big cats really which are endangered anyway they really animals should not be subject and forced to entertain humans for the meager food that they receive and and the greed of the of the humans that uh that own them just like with orcas and dolphins you know that perform at sea world and you know live in these man-made saltwater pools it's it's cruel it's cruel they're wild animals tickets zales had already fallen but they dropped more significantly then anticipated after the elephants were retired last may the company's two circus shows out of this world and circus extreme have 30 shows left including appearances in Atlanta brooklyn and boston the final shows are may seven at the duncan donut center in providence road island and may 21 at the nasol veterans memorial coliseum in unendale in new york this will be a difficult business decision to make but by ending the circus tours we will be able to concentrate on the other lines of business within the felled entertainment portfolio said juliet fell chief operating officer now that we have made this decision as a company and as a family we will strive to support our circus performers and crew in making the transition to new opportunities the announcement means most of the show's 500 or so employees will be left without work hey i wonder if uh trump could save those jobs his performance circus act well they'll probably say go apply at mcdonald's or wendy's or burger king what are they gonna do i don't know what they're gonna do felled said some will be transferred to some of the company's more profitable shows monster jan disney on ice and marvel lie and it will help with some job replacement resumes housing relocation at its prime the wringling brothers and barman bailey circus was considered a family friendly outing well yes that's true it that's why it's been around for so long but then the truth came you know with uh with with the mistreatment of of these wild animals and and domesticated animals that perform but the shows lost their appeals were the end of the 20th century ceo kenneth fell told the ap he believes it grew outdated and difficult for audiences with shorter attention spans that is also true unfortunately humans have very short attention spans and modern humans have even shorter attention spans it's like a child man a lot of adults have the attention span of a child you know unless it's something important to them then you have to really focus and concentrate on what they're saying competitor in many ways is time it's a different model that we can't see how it works in today's world to justify and maintain an affordable ticket price so you've got all these things working against you when the felled family first acquired the circus the show was just under three hours long today the show is two hours and seven minutes the longest segment is a tiger act 12 minutes sick sick freedom no that's vegas sick freedom roy that's a vegas act i don't even know if they think they're retired didn't they a battle over elephant acts a staple of the show since barnamon brought an asian elephant named jumbo to america in 1882 ensued between felled entertainment and animal rights activists in court and went on for 14 years but in 2014 felled entertainment won 25.2 million dollars in settlements by that point though cities such as los angeles oakland california and ashfield north carolina had restrictions on animal acts next year the company announced the circus would retire its elephants we had a poor thanks man i feel bad for them i really do this is the most significant change we have made since we founded the wrinkling brothers center for elephant conservation in 1995 kenneth felled said in a statement in 2015 this decision was not easy but it is in the best interest of our company our elephants and our customers well the abuse of animals whether it be for profit or or not is sadly tragically a reality today very i guess it's more out in the open i'm not i'm not saying that it's on the increase i'm not sure if it's always been around but somebody has to defend the rights of these poor victims these animals and you know forcing them forcing them to perform day in and day out is is cruelty as far as i'm concerned you're exploiting them like you know you know you know what they were getting i mean this was several years ago i was in florida keys they were getting 100 or 150 dollars of pop to to to get in the water with a dolphin and pet it cool and and play with it and and i and i and i was i was bitching when i was in cancun mexico uh i mean um casuel mel that the mexican the kid where i wanted pay sales to to pet the the nurse shark you know as a gentle as a shark unless you put your hands in its mouth called the nurse shark they're they're really not offensive but just to pet it he wanted to get paid but you know but that's different he's a poor kid living in mexico but in this case 100 150 dollars a pop to pet the dolphin and the dolphin is is held captive that's exploitation man that's like that's like people in Bangladesh and in china getting getting uh next to nothing to work or or office workers in the philippines getting 50 cents an hour you know you know what my mother's former uh well care insurance representative said he's a philippine man from the philippines he says well that's a lot more than they're used to getting oh what an excuse for exploiting employees and giving them bottom of the barrel wages what an excuse well that's more than what they had right he sounded like a philippine barbara bush exactly but you know they should be thankful it's a step up for them sleeping on the ground in the new orlean super dome after hurricane Katrina it's a step up for them what excuses lieutenant governor kim quad diagonal what the heck in new jersey right has formally launched her campaign for governor i'm gonna try to get people to remember or pronounce her name she better use the

ad libs unscripted unplanned now i had no idea he was gonna line me up with that joke that's quite a shadow oh god as the state's first lieutenant governor she was charged with cutting red tape and economic growth she also serves as secretary of state much of god daggers and tenure has been spent traveling the state to welcome new business or meeting with companies to bring them to new jersey isn't mr murphy running as a democrat phil murphy phil murphy he's a democrat is he running yeah no i i i there's one one thing's for sure i am not voting for a republican ever ever never in any way shape or form she is known for her personal touch with business leaders of course business leaders business business trickled trickled dickled down that's a big lie anyway often giving out her cell phone number to and giving them a direct line to the state house you mean like like CEOs maybe hey here's my hey here's my card hey hey what what here's my card he's she's schmoozing right she's she's schmoozing with the CEOs with the muckity mucks well if you look at her she's a very attractive woman oh like the fox news conservatives like the but like the uh the the the bomb shells the the buxamy bomb shells of fox news hey what is it about what is it about the right wing that all of a sudden they're getting all these uh hot-looking chicks and and all the uh all the ugly uh um feminists are attracted to the uh the liberal side all of the uh you know what was that the hideous woman betty for dan free dan and the other one bella bella abzug with a big hat like trume capote and then of course glorious steinem and yeah all these uh bulldog chicks you know it's like and all of a sudden the conservatives are attracting i mean they're selfish miserable cold hearted women but they're very attractive and big breast although she has low name recognition with most voters she is among the most recognized in the field of candidates in both parties does she tell the ceo is that a banana in your pocket or are you happy to see me big boy or is that a patch so i can write down my phone number here take my number don't forget it now don't lose my card what i know we'll enter the race with significant support from about three dozen lawmakers and party leaders and has the advantage of having served as one of the top elected officials in the state oh gosh in the party primary what i know will compete for the nomination with assemblyman jack chiattarelli jack Spratt of Somerset county and nutley commissioner steve rogers and let me guess chris christie might will probably campaign for her oh of course and and as long as he doesn't cast a shadow as long as she doesn't stand behind him she will be recognized yeah levity bills okay what do you want to do that's right we got one more for the road one more for the road one more for the road please don't pick anything about crayons crayons are gone for the day all right all right pick a pick an interesting this is call me that's good you can debate whether fdi director james call me late october announcement that potentially relevant information had been uncovered regarding hillary clinton's private email server costs are the presidential election but with the wisdom of hindsight right it's virtually impossible to defend his decision to make such a show of a discovery that ultimately amounted to nothing it all amounted to nothing and all the um the online articles from anonymous and wiki leaks amounted to nothing because they they helped the wrong person get elected and uh the um call me and um loretta lynch it all amounted to nothing call me's actions in the late stages of the 2016 presidential campaign seem likely to be the focus of a recently announced inspector general's investigation of the conduct of the fbi in the run-up to the november election the probe will be wide-ranging encompassing the fbi's various public statements on the matter excuse me whether it's deputy director should have been recused and whether department of justice or fbi employees leaked non-public information any objective analysis of the 2016 election quickly makes clear that call me someone most americans had never even heard of before last year that's true was the third central actor in the election drama alongside clinton and donald trump in early july call me played the villain in the eyes of republicans by detailing a string of questionable conduct related to clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state before concluding that there are no charges to be brought democrats largely touted call me's decisions citing it as evidence that the focus on clinton's emails was much to do about nothing and that the issue was settled still call me's condemnation of clinton's email practices although we did not find clear evidence that secretary clinton or our her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information there is no evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive highly classified information he said trumps campaign used the extremely careless language in ads and democrats grumbled that call me had overstepped the bounds of his office well if you do if you're doing your job you're not overstepping any bounds yeah but he didn't do his job that's the problem yeah understepped his balance all right understepping he tried to say that there was more going on than was that's what came out well i i tend to believe the truth lies somewhere in the middle between the conspiracy theory organizations and and the mainstream media i think there's definitely more to our if he would have found two-party system than meets the eye if he would have found classified emails obviously he would have said something because he's fine because he's a he himself is a republican right right James call me his first name call me he's a republican so of course he's going to have any he's going to jump on hillary kent clinton's like uh like a duck on a june bug like the uh this southern people say in its call me said that a computer owned by former congressman anthony weiner oh yes and his wife kuma habidin yeah had been delivered discovered to have 650 000 emails wow and you know the infamous anthony weiner the guy that looks like a dockshound yeah you know what he was doing with the sex thing in the photos is some of which were considered potentially relevant to the clinton case the computer was discovered as part of a separate investigation of weiner allegedly exchanging sexually oriented text messages the 15 year old chickaree 15 year old that makes it worse he's he's uh he's a married man and she's a minor yeah but it had nothing to do with clinton no no it just had to do it with him personally and his political career going down the drain the assumption at the time was that given the proximity of the election less than two weeks away call me must have seen or been briefed on emails on that weiner habidin computer that were troubling and might lead to a decision to reverse the july judgment not to be having clinton indicted turns out that assumption was wrong dead wrong there really wasn't anything new on the computer but by the time that became clear clinton had been sidetracked during final days of the campaign so why did call me do what he did my working assumption is that he was deeply cowed by republican threats about transparency when it came to the SPI investigation of the clinton server it was after all a unique and politically fraught situation the frontrunner to be the next president of the united states was part of an investigation by the current president's justice department in the heat of a campaign call me cited those odd circumstances in july this will be an unusual statement in a couple of ways he said first i am going to include more detail about our process than i normally do because i think the american people deserve those details in a case of intense public interest the only logic that then explains combi's decision to wade into the final days of the presidential race is out of a sort of abundance of caution that he didn't really know what was on the wiener habidin computer the wiener mobile yeah which i get sort of but given the stakes it seems as though call me would have been far better off waiting until the bulk of the emails had been checked against what the fbi examined so that he could know whether something new might be in them i'm fascinated to see what the ig report finds but i am hard pressed to understand why call me did what he did in the dying days of the campaign oh boy oh boy when does it end when does it when does when the when does all the negativity end and happiness begin maybe after the worms get get our our carcasses and we move on hopefully to a better light life in a parallel universe or another dimension uh i i've been watching a lot of science channel documentaries and other documentaries that are near the science channel i have verizon file so i have these uh these other channels that have interesting info one of them all week was uh a uh nazi germany uh documentaries one after the other like uh like uh there was one one of the episodes was on adolf hitler's doctor who had him so drugged up with barbiturates and and uh very harsh drugs with very negative side effects and the man with he had the man totally drugged up and then and then what happened was when adolf hitler first um after he um joined a nazi party uh with uh hess i think hess was like his right hand man at one time when he became chancellor i think in 1933 i think it was um um there was a psychiatrist that had uh past psychiatric medical records on adolf hitler that was mysteriously that mysteriously died of of suicide and and it was made to appear uh to be uh suicide you know how they tend to do that even today make it appear to be suicide but anyway he was going to come out with uh medical records psychiatric records on adolf hitler but anyway his doctor had him super drugged up i mean heavy duty um and for virility he gave him he injected bull semen into well i know i know orc chick which is a uh bovine testicular uh glandular extract does work with testosterone with a man's hormonal uh uh shortcomings it does work i don't know how it works it doesn't seem logical that it would work but it works you know isn't there something in in natural medicine that refers to like helps like like if something uh i know homeopathy it mimics the symptoms of the disease and your body reacts to it yeah well you put a glandular in homeopathy you you uh you get sometimes the opposite of what you would think you'd be yeah like let that works like let's take apis which is b-venom there's something about apis that helps arthritics right so because apis when you get bit by the b you inflame you blow up it hits the mean reaction and to cure that reaction you take the apis which gives you the same reaction so it's like mimicking the like versus like like versus like yeah which is probably the science behind glandular extracts like raw thymus for the immune system well you got to be very careful when you say things like that because when you are dealing with homeopathy you are dealing with energetic medicine and in fact there is nothing nothing of the original product in the it's so it's things there's nothing in there it's so diluted so diluted like like only the energy like signature like like arnica montana which is very popular is is created from the mountain daisy the flower called the mountain daisy but when you're dealing with a 30x arnica montana you're dealing with a a super diluted extract there's no elements in there per se right just energy energy you'll see star trek when star trek is on they'll say did you read that energy signature of the other ship yes so they know they can tell the energy signatures of things and that's what you're dealing with with homeopathy anything law living or not the element anything living or that or that anything that used to be living has energy even this chilele wood right this is from a living tree called black thorn okay it has energy when you when you feel it there's nothing like the grip of a wooden handle compared to a steel like you can feel there's something about it it gives off an energy it maybe even has a certain aura if you have the right uh equipment you know it gives off yeah it gives off energy yeah it's it's a living thing all right listen because at the basic we are all just light we are all just energy well the basic energy of the universe is what electromagnetic or gone energy or gone well that's or gone and or gone can become many forms of energy oh okay but it is one of the basic primordial in other words it is a primordial in other words the is organ energy like chi energy that flows through the body electromagnetic it has many names meridians alien vital chi something vital something has many names yeah like acupuncture acupressure deals with chi energy a blockage the blockage of chi energy contributes to illness uh uh well wouldn't it be fascinating if somebody with a lot of money who wasn't a greedy bastard who was a decided to sponsor both uh nicola tesla and and and wilhelm reich to to be in the same laboratory yeah but that does not happen in a capitalistic society no hey by the way when uh jp morgan found out what nicola tesla wanted the purpose of building that tower for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars or whatever he had the whole tower destroyed jp morgan did he had to take it down i'm going to give it away from free he found out free energy we're going to pay 150 bucks to pet that freaking dolphin well you know something nicola tesla made a big mistake bringing his son his work to the us he should have went to canada he should have went somewhere else he should have went somewhere else the united states that you know went with the sellout suck up uh thomas edison which incidentally is what we were taught in school in our history books we never knew we never heard the word nicola tesla or wilhelm reich ever married only the sellouts we heard about and that was that all right listen have a good one or like um i saw the movie troi a few days ago oh and they were talking about going to war with the greeks yeah you know because twice the day the day the helen was stolen was troi a nation or city city state the nation was a city state like the vatican is self-government part of sparta was also well that's part of the night is also an island yeah but but it was a city city state yeah but anyway like the one guy achilles achilles they always accuse achilles of uh you just want your name to go down in history rare legacy uh yeah so achilles uh was talking to the king and the king said only king's names go down in history sounds like we win the war sounds like you don't it sounds like uh the attitude of the popes back then too that's exactly it was uh it was an imperialism it was a monarchy it was a monarchy and all the big boys and girls you know were written up in history in other words you do the work they get the credit that's it because they're in power they're much wealthier than you and they say so sounds like today anything i think a alexander the great was from messa donia which is now part of uh which became part of ukoslavia later later on messa donia is far northern part of greece yeah alexander anyway uh have a good one yeah thank you for your history nice and this week yeah we gave you a little a little a little history tidbit at the end at the end of this show yeah progressive discussions yeah you gotta like the way you look i guarantee it oh i also missed the original dosekis man he was the best yeah he was the best i mean he was a classy looking guy you know you know but maybe uh will they come to their senses a little down the road i think his agent probably wanted uh more and more money so they went with somebody that works cheaper the guy that's there now the guy with the the the dark beard and the schnazola but he seems like a he seems like a cool guy but he's not he's not like the original dosekis with the great beard actually uh no never mind i'll tell you i'll tell you afterwards


African swine fever is a very serious infectious disease that affects domestic pigs and wild pigs. So it was first found in East Africa. It's present in a wildlife reservoir of warthogs and soft ticks that live in warthog burrows. But in the early 1900s it spread to domestic pigs that came in contact with the wildlife. And in the domestic pigs it causes an acute hemorrhagic fever with very high death rates. So since that time the disease spread through sub-Saharan Africa and to Europe twice, 1957-1960. It was eventually eradicated from Europe in the mid-1990s except for Sardinia. But since 2007 disease was introduced into Georgia in the Caucasus region. And from there it spread through the Russian Federation and into Eastern Europe. Most isolates of the virus cause acute hemorrhagic fever. So the clinical signs are at first quite nonspecific. So there's a high fever, loss of appetite, lethargy. At later stages some signs of hemorrhage might be observed. For example around the tips of the ears or on the stomach.  And eventually death occurs within sort of 10 to 15 days usually. The disease spreads mainly by direct contact between infected animals and also by contact with infectious materials. So infected pigs have very high levels of virus in blood and in secretions including urine, feces and oral nasal secretions. So pigs in direct contact become infected quite readily. The virus is very stable in the environment and in infected meat. So in direct contact with either ingestion of pork or by movement of infected vehicles or other materials can also be a route for infecting pigs. So measures for control rely on rapid diagnosis and then the implementation of quarantine and movement restrictions. So there's no vaccine. So there's not the possibility of using vaccination to control disease spread. The pigs that we use mostly come from a high animal health status farm. Most of the experiments we carry out are vaccination experiments where we want to compare different types of vaccines. Generally our experiments would each have 18 pigs in three groups for example and we introduce a control group of nonimmune pigs before challenge with the virulent virus. So we probably have around 21 pigs per experiment and we may do four or five experiments per year. So we're using between 80 and 100 pigs per year. So as much as possible we use preliminary tests in cell culture. For example one approach we use to develop vaccines is to delete genes from the virus genome to try and produce a virus that's attenuated. That is it doesn't cause disease but can induce an effective immune response that protects pigs against challenge. But currently there's not really any effective method to test a vaccine in vitro so we have to use animals to test safety and efficacy of vaccines. So the classic approaches that we're used to produce vaccines that have been effective against other viruses haven't worked for African swine fever. So we currently have two approaches to produce vaccines. One is to try and improve the safety of live attenuated vaccines by manipulating the genome in different ways and trying to understand more about the immune response and what leads to protection and what leads to chronic disease for example. And then another approach is to try and identify which of the many proteins that are coded for by African swine fever virus can induce protection. We first have to identify which of the 165 proteins might induce protection and to do this we've used immune cells from protected pigs and screened those against a library of short peptide sequences containing sequences from the virus to identify which are recognised by the immune lymphocytes. And then we've taken the genes for those proteins and cloned them into safe virus vectors that don't replicate in the pig. So these are vectors that are widely used for vaccine production and are known to have a safe profile. And we're currently carrying out experiments where we immunise pigs with pools of these virus vectors each expressing different African swine fever virus proteins and then measure the immune responses and try and determine which might induce a protection against challenge. Ultimately we have to test vaccines in animals because there's no really effective correlation between what happens in vitro and what you observe in animals.


Peace. I'm Adam Jabari, and this lesson is called Separate Together. We're going to use photography to share a message. As with all photography, we need a source of light. Where does your light come from? You will need your camera. A smart phone or tablet with a camera app is perfect for this practice. And you will need pen and paper, like a notebook. Let's start with three full breaths. Sit nice and tall, heart forward, crown high. And take a deep breath in through your nose. And exhale slowly from your nose.  And another one over your heart. Draw another deep breath in through your nose. Into your belly. Into your heart. And slow exhale from the nose. Let's do that one more time. Deep breath in and out through the nose. Now we're nice and grounded. Today we are going to create a letter through images. Think about the people who are most affected right now. They can be the essential workers like grocery store clerks, delivery people, cleaning staff, bus drivers, nurses, doctors. Think about people who may be underserved like people without houses or without adequate access to healthcare. What kind of message would you like to write to these essential or underserved people? Take two to three minutes in your notebook and write some words to those people in your life or in your community. Who did you think about? What group or individual came to mind for you? Refer back to the words that you wrote, the feelings behind it. We're going to use our cameras to represent some of these ideas. For example, healthcare is a human right. That's something I wrote. And with my camera and my imagination, I'm going to find a way to share that message through an image. I might think about masks or gloves or maybe use props like a thermometer or maybe even a hot cup of tea, a Band-Aid. What objects and props best represent the message that you want to share? What spaces and environments best represent the message that you want to share? Your challenge today is to take your camera, find the props, find the spaces, and share your voice. These love letters. Express them through your images. Photographer Carrie Mae Weems said, I'm so happy to be alive and to make my work, but I didn't do it alone. So many have paved the way for me. And for that, I'm extraordinarily grateful. Think about a community, individual, or group that you like to send your message to. How are they being affected by the coronavirus, by social distancing, by quarantine? Take some time to log on to your search engines and find out some specifics of the impact for individuals and groups in different demographics. Let these inform the message that you send to offer some support or compassion or information that might be helpful. While we are distant, remember that we are all together in this. We are all the same stardust, all live on the same planet, all need the same resources.  I'm Adam Jabari. Thanks for being here today. Peace.
