Our debt is just about 100 percent of our g.d.p. And Japan is just you know during Japan is a sovereign currency and so it's you know if there is no danger to us from the federal debt in the short term now you know if it starts passing 233100 percent that might have an impact on the value of our currency but again like I said there's ways to be a lot of it so that's important to know is motivation is behind these. Think tanks that are promoting the idea that the debt is a disaster they are almost always funded by bankers or billionaire hedge fund owners Clark thanks for the call. Mark in sand or bobbing on that's right Hang on Mark will pick up after that I'm sorry Bob let's check in and talk to the news and find out what's going on the war on terror that this report brought to you by goods from the Go dot com and loving what you do a new book by Alan Ratner on the line with us the author of sideswiped Bob Ney Congressman welcome back to the program well thank you Tom Glad to be here so what's happening in the world today well let's talk budgets about that I got something going on that all morning. Right where you know the Senate the course the Senate is going to have this stand alone defense which you know is not going to have a cloture vote so that doesn't it doesn't exist technically all right but some people want to put their name on it and then the house. Resolution that came over on the budget of course is then going to be stripped out this all occurred today it'll be stripped out and replaced with the deal that they have between Schumer and McConnell which will increase as you know and some defense spending and some domestic spending there are a couple of bites in there Tom for conservatives. But I don't think it's a huge bite of the apple but they've made a big deal about it they're going to do away with advisory board which frankly it was for the Obamacare health care act it was an advisory board it was supposed to do something with basically cost containment and I'm stumbling here so I'm not even sure what happened because it never got off the ground but it's going to be quote done away was going to defund you catch that one liner there will be defunded the Obamacare Advisory Commission and the commission was supposed to go in basically and regulate it didn't cost containment in the medical arena so this way you know it has a fungus is what it was this was Sarah Palin was calling the death penalty the death penalty it's telling the best. No this f.a.l. That yes the death panel is dying so that's going to be kind of a hang out of this and some structural changes to Medicare which frankly haven't been revealed but I can imagine they are severe structural changes otherwise there is no way Chuck Schumer wouldn't sign off line is the way we do it but it will be again billed you know if you if you're if you're looking to satisfy you know the conservatives who are very angry angry defense spending but they're angry at the you know the bus in the budget caps and then you're going to use that and then it goes to the house with a bit of a you know obviously Iraq your situation Tom I have a feeling I could be wrong but I have a feeling they're going to send us over just with you know literally hours to spare putting the house into a position of course that's going to cause pressure and Ryan speaker Ryan needs this pressure to you know because he's having trouble getting votes and of course as you proceed gave a passionate speech I've been asked about the speech by the way today all radio and I don't think by any stretch an engine ation it was a publicity stunt intended to break a record you know she cares about this issue and this is a great way to get the focus to the issue because the House has not made at least a commitment that it's over in the Senate when it comes to Dhaka to at least move something. So that's going to be. That's going to be the kind of messy but budget process what happens in the house I don't know I'm going to assume because there is no lockstep from the Democratic side where you know Nancy Pelosi has said hey we're all going to you know vote against this is going to be you know whatever members basically want one to do what they feel they should do and of course let's face the fact there's disaster relief in this bill right now that I'm like Texas in Puerto Rico and I'm sure certain areas and that you know that's you know I was there that gets votes so they're kind of pieces together and of course it's a 2 year plan. There will be some repercussions for the Republicans in the House in particular off of this bill however Tom because maybe not in the primary process maybe sometimes 2 in a primary but more in the in the arguments in the general about fiscal responsibility of the back and forth budgets and how they use you know straight from where they came I mean look at the history of speaker Ryan you know his history with budgets so he's been at little bit of a hard time I would assume Well I think that he is adhering to the genuineness skis to Santa Claus theory right like that article Yeah yeah I mean you're you're a Republican congressman was that was that widely known among your colleagues or did they just kind of go along with because you know the the Reagan administration was all about it they though embraced you're going to ski and they were just going out for a run that that as hard as you can do in the regime office innocent as a Democrat comes in office start screaming about the debt and you know I saw we're going through what I saw Bush Jr do it Bush Sr didn't seem all that was you ask about any thought it was routine omics and we see Trump doing it now or at least the Republicans well you know when I started we had a. Situation all of that yes. That trump it was blasted about how the Contract with America class got into office it was mainly as you know about the nation's budget there you know 98 the 1st downs but generations like it so quote you know the phrases used but the fact does remain of course Bill Clinton we had a Bill Clinton you know making some decisions with the with the Republicans and but that all ended you know because of Bush Jr lose the caps off of that and I will tell you the recovery stations in private meetings where people sit with this is got to stop another said well we can't he's the president he's our party all right so so so some really knew what the long term Republican strategy rise of assuming that you're going to squeeze out a Clinton bashing journalist memo and which. Absent things that we had with the members of the. Bob Ney goddess and thank you so much. The author of Sideswipe which is an absolutely brilliant book about Washington d.c. Works. Back with me middle of the day stick around it's the time when program is so much good when I. Got to tell you about the education and climate change sticker. You're listening to. This is the. Program Welcome back to the program some auto Idaho lawmakers remain a literary school in science standards this is how deeply entrenched fossil fuel billionaire money is in the Republican Party they don't just own virtually all the Republican senators because they're all denying climate change they don't just own virtually all the Republican members of the u.s. House of Representatives they're denying climate change on behalf of the petro billionaires they don't just own the White House they also own state legislators all over the United States this is the deep blue their roots have have have penetrated into the body politic of the Republican Party this story was in the spokesman which is an Idaho newspaper The Spokesman Review and by Betsy Russell. And she writes the members of the Idaho House Education Committee on Thursday continued to back at proposed new school science standards to deal with climate change Now Ag a school science climate science standards do is report the actual science yes there's climate change and yes it's being contributed to if not entirely caused by that certainly contributed to by burning fossil fuels even and then the public testimony even as public testimony came into Rod 100 percent in favor of the newly revised standards Representative Scott Simon s.y.m. Republican to Caldwell says he's planning to propose the stairs be approved with 2 sections removed. Climate change they're going to take the climate change stuff Meanwhile g.o.p. Representative Lance clown another toady for the petro billionaires said he thought the stands were all right but added the president examples including included with them went too far in concluding that the world was ramming said Congressman Herb representative Clowe quote geologic history shows that temperatures have gone up and down before the guys retired personal finance advisor from 20. Idaho is the only state. From. What's your name again Betsy Russell's article here I don't know is the only state in which legislators have successfully removed references to climate change from school science standards. To Republicans in their service of the fossil fuel industry and the billionaires it has produced are producing students in Iowa. Who are not prepared for college and are not prepared for science. Just to maintain the profits of Exxon Mobil the Koch brothers and the other fossil for the masses and. You know what not in this country Ron acres and 6 other states tried to do the same but failed this would be in Iowa Republicans in Iowa Republicans in Kentucky Republicans in Michigan Republicans in Oklahoma Republicans West Virginia and Republicans in Wyoming have tried to d.m. Age their own children. Rather bend over and kiss the butts of the Koch brothers and their fossil fuel friends. It's amazing it's breathtaking. Tiffany who as you I'm not sure how it's pronounced perhaps. Is writing in The New York Times today this is a fascinating piece actually yesterday's New York Times the headline is from millennial investors a harsh lesson in America gyrations and they start out with the story of a millennial 26 year old business operations manager in Tucson Arizona is jazz. And Tiffany writes Miss Ms Okubo 26 a business operations manager in Tucson has an individual retirement account set up with her company and the show she got from her parents for a birthday and run a week the value of her investments sank 65 percent attracted of course about the market crash down is down right now by almost $500.00 points by the way it's continuing. She said I don't think I'll be buying a trading on the market in time soon I still don't think it has hit me how much I lost so quickly you know for a young person who's investing you know their life savings which in many cases if you're just starting out and investing a $1000.00 it might be $5000.00 that much $500.00 to have half of it gone it's devastating. I mean that that could be money that somebody had to work as a as a waiter or as. A clerk or something for for half a year to that kind of you know extra money over about your expenses that you could invest. For the rights in the New York Times to foods quickly filled with cheery willing Jeffs and hard emoticons cracked in to put punctuation about an even further one k. Accounts down to with. So. The message and it's nowhere in this article and it's nowhere in the media tragically. It's a message that needs to be can fade. Back then back when when our 3 hour. You know I hate the guy routine here but there are a lot of people who are not born or at least were not conscious of what was going on in the world before the break in the Strange. Reagan change the rules on pensions which destroyed pensions in states. There is this thing called a defined benefit plan you get to those 2 kinds of plans defined benefit defined contribution Ok And what that means is the defined benefit plan is called a pension and it means that you pay and pay $3040.00 you know a month into your pension every month for the 20 years that you work and then once you retire you are guaranteed so $1000.00 a month for the rest of your life whether you live another 5 years or whether you live another 30 years you're guaranteed that money that's how pensions work just like Social Security says security is essentially a kind of works like a pension. Reagan wanted to blow those up because pensions were run by companies for their workers that were heavily regulated companies couldn't mess with that money they couldn't borrow from that money they couldn't abuse that money in fact. Who was the who was the head of the Teamsters Union Jimmy Hoffa Jimmy Hoffa went to prison for borrowing money from the temple from the Teamsters pension fund and using it to to invest in Dillon in Florida called The Sun Valley land deal or no is an Arizona it was a phoenix. He went to jail for that if you messed with people's pension money you went to jail. Reagan changed the rules and said pensions are no longer an asse are no are no longer a liability the corporations are no longer money that the corporation owns to it's owes to its workers instead asset they're now an asset pensions around assets the pension fund it's now money that the corporation has it can do whatever it damn well pleases with and immediately you know Carl Icahn and all these other predators jumped in and started extracting pensions and the pension was good taken from t.w.a. Was taken from American Airlines was taken airline after airline and then it spread all across the United States and most pension plans are in tatters right now because of the changes made Reagan made now why would he do that well number one it protected workers into old age and Republicans don't like that they want people fearful and frightened and poor but number 2 they they were getting a lot of pressure from the banks Toure's the banks Toure's wanted people to put their money in the you know in and there and the investment houses in the stock market or in the banks and now the stock markets in the banks said the same thing since Phil Gramm got. Glass Steagall blown up and so we did away with pensions and we replaced them with $41.00 k's an ira switcher called defined contribution plans in other words if you put a $1000.00 into an Ira you get a $1000.00 out plus whatever or minus whatever profit or loss you made Mistah whereas with a pension you put in a certain amount and you get out however long you live I mean you might get out 3 times what you put in or you might get a half of what you put in depending on how old you are how long you survive. We don't even talk about pensions in England states and we really should we should I mean this is another one of the incredible damages the axe to the root of democracy in the middle was that was done by the Reagan administration by Republicans this is the main program so you know if you know any millennial start telling them about sions And let's go back to a program where you don't have to be anecdotal. Stock. And well. Listening to Tom. Tom Tom. We are talking about politics tonight well not talking about economics tonight we are talking about this the bible of all races of people that is all that is the state we are talking about this the Bible also plan people nothing else nothing here. And you must understand that why is it not as there was to talk about the Bible about people many of us being ill many of our generation feel that they're getting ready to commit genocide against us now many people say that's a powerful thing to say about anybody but it is a horrible thing to say then we should do is go to Malcolm says we should examine history. The birth of this nation was conceived in the genocide all. Over the. Country to come about the Hokie had to completely exterminate the red man. And he didn't he. Didn't where he does not even feel sorry but he romanticized by putting it on television with cowboy and Indian. Hello everyone I am Christine laws Dale and that was just a tiny little snippet from a masterful collection that we're going to be talking about this hour from the Pacifica Radio Archives that was of course Stokely Carmichael in 1968 and that is from the voices that changed the world this is a 2 for one u.s.b. Drive from the Pacifica Radio Archives well over a 1000 hours I believe the last I heard it's close like to 1300 hours of content from the Pacifica Radio Archives and it includes such important collections as the black history collection the women's history collection Pacifica Radio Archives audio books collection as well as Granny restored recordings exploration with Dr Michio Kaku and so much more and this hour again we're going to be playing just a tiny tiny tiny tiny portion of this this u.s.b. Drive by the way is $64.00 gigabytes again 1300 hours of content from the Pacifica Radio Archives this this content these audio recordings have been masterfully remastered saved from the tapes so to speak in the old days they used to record on tapes on reel to reel and it's a very painful process to modernize that that has been done from the Pacific. Really archives and this collection actually just one of these the collection on cd was offered many years ago from the the archives and it was offered for a donation of $5000.00 just for these recordings on cd 5000 dollars and this hour we're going to be offering this collection not only one you're going to get 2 you're going to get 2 of these for a mere $200.00 pledge. It's incredible $200.00 donation this hour if you call up this number 8189855735818985 k p f k now we're going to be again playing clips from throughout this collection we're going to focus in just a little bit on black history on the black history collection and in particular we're going to be hearing Up next Dr Martin Luther King and this is from a recording that was done in London in 1965 and we're going to find out a little bit about the background history of all that after we play the clip but I want you to have a little bit of an idea of just the historic nature of what you're going to find on this u.s.b. Drive and again you will get not one but 2 of them for a $200.00 pledge if you call 818-905-5735 now let's listen to Dr Martin Luther King again this is from 1965 and this is available in the voices that change the world to for one u.s.b. Drive. One of the very figure I'm going on rollin prolong created. A way to end a method of struggle. To secure a. Room army and all program good it is possible to struggle against. Just system with all your might and with all your heart and even hate that on just system yet you maintain an attitude of active goodwill and understanding and even low for the perpetrators of the bush system this is the most misunderstood aspect of. This is whether those who don't want to follow the nonviolent method say a lot of bad things that those of us who talk about low but I still go on and believe in it because I'm still convinced that it is low that makes the world go around and somehow this kind of low can be a powerful force for social change I'm not talking about a week low I'm not talking about emotional Bhatia I'm not talking about some sentimental quality I'm not talking about an affectionate response it would be nonsense Virgil press people to love a violent depresses in an affectionate sense and I have never advised that when Jesus said Love your enemies I'm happy didn't say like join them is this pretty difficult to like some people but love is greater than life love is understanding created redemptive goodwill but all men. Theologians talk about this kind of love with the Greek word which is a thought of overflowing love that seeks nothing in return and when one develops this you rise to the position of being able to love a person who does the evil deed while hating the deed that the person does and I believe that this can be done. Psychiatry's are telling us now that hatred is a dangerous or was not merely a father hit but also behavior. Many of the strange things that happen in the sub conscience many or being in a conflict are rooted in hate and so they are saying love apparent this is why I ripped from can write a book entitled The Art of Loving arguing that love is the supreme unifying force of life. So it is wonderful to have a map of where the possible to stand up again. To stand up against colonialism were all of your might and you have not the perpetrators of the. System and I believe firmly. Harmed Apollo. Kind of good organizer good friend America. We will be able to transform good wrangling to score abomination and the world into a beautiful from the New York robber. The great shot in space you know and that was Dr Martin Luther King in London in 1965 talking you know not about a soft gooey love. But a love of brotherhood a love of humanity and a love that speaks out and and holds those accountable speaks truth to power that was a small tiny clip from a phenomenal collection I'm so happy to have in studio with me joining me the director of the Pacifica Radio Archives Mr Mark Torres Hello Mark I am so happy to be here Christine and this is I think I'm trying to convey to listeners the amazing collection that we have that we're offering in this fun drive in this hour the volume of voices like Dr King like Malcolm x.

Invited to speak at Stanford University he wasn't he was somewhere in between a villain and an unknown figure in 1957 he had been quite labeled a communist yet right Stanford University flies him out they want to hear about this person who's preaching about nonviolence I mean that's a it's you know not since Gandhi has there been a figure that was completely committed to this yes tactic which early on with Malcolm x. He had a difference of a few years later they came to an agreement but this is really early on this is one of the earliest recordings of Dr Martin Luther King 1957 Stanford University Pacifica Radio was there to record this Wow Wow Let's listen now to Dr Martin Luther King against from 1957 and this is available to you this is just one tiny little tiny snippet of over 1300 hours of history from the Pacifica Radio Archives yours by calling 829855735 you well remember that it was in the year under 1619. That the 1st slaves landed on the shores of this nation. And they were brought here from the sorrows of Africa. The Pilgrim Fathers who landed at Plymouth a year later. They were brought here to guns our wheels. And through ups labor the negro was treated in a very human. Fashion. He was to be used. Not to push them to be respected he was merely a depersonalized to call. A plantation machine. The famous Dred Scott decision of $857.00 well illustrates the status of the Negro during slavery and this decision in the United States Supreme Court said in substance. That the Negro is not a citizen of this nation. He is merely a property and subject to the dictates of his own. With the growth of slavery it became necessary to. Give some justification Farai. It seems to be a fact of life that here one big continued to do rather without eventually reaching out for some rationalization which ends up higher than an obvious wrong and a beautiful garments of righteousness and this is exactly what happened. And the men of the slave owners face the danger. That forever confronts religion attitude literalistic interpretation of the Bible that is the danger that religion and the Bible not properly interpreted would be used as instruments to crystallize the status quo and this is exactly what happened. And so it was our good from pulpits across the nation that the negro was inferior by nature because I've no curse upon the children of ham. Parodic them became a match word servants be obedient to your master. And one of the ministers have probably. Read something of the logic of asked Stalin so he could put his argument and a faggot comparable to an error still t.d.m. Syllogism. And you could say Ah a man whom I made in damage of God That's a major premise and comes to mind a premise God as everybody knows is not a Negro then comes a conclusion that. The negro is not a man. This was a type of reasoning. This was a type of reasoning that prevailed living under these conditions which. Many Negroes last faith in themselves. Many came to feel that perhaps they were less than human. The tragedy of physical slavery is that it ways leads to the paralysis of mental slavery. So loud as the Negro accepted this place assigned to him their subservient attitude. As had a racial piece was maintained. But it wasn't I mean Zippy's and woods and the growers forced patient led to accept and just as an exploitation it was a negative piece it was not a positive piece because true peace is not merely the absence of some negative force but the presence of some positive force through pieces not merely of the absence of tension but the presence of justice that was. Found that this is content to folks if you're not going to find anywhere else this is that was Dr Martin Luther King in 1957 before he spoke out against the war in Vietnam and really became an enemy of the state I mean it was one thing for him to talk about civil rights and you know the effects of slavery the effects of racism and bigotry and the violence that was I mean let's face it 157 years it wasn't safe to be a black person anywhere in this country right really because the racism was so was so bad and yet and what his words what he's saying is so relevant to today with the stoking of racial division as we see with our current political system as well yeah we have if we're divided we cannot defeat the one percent and they are pitting us against each other and right now it's very successful I was just taking a look at the hate crimes that happened in this last week and it's shocking what's taking place just documented hate crimes that are taking place not like in the south not like somewhere in the Midwest I'm talking like Los Angeles Orange County right here in Southern California it's very scary that we're having to really live a situation that we had hoped we had already gone through 50 years ago so we can learn from the wisdom of Dr Martin Luther King the only way they can do we can do that is if you listen to him in his own voice and you can get that on this jump drive 13. 150 hours of the prime curated selections from the Pacifica Radio Archives great audio going back to 1949 it's literally a Ph d.
