i think we can all agree that in the american government congress is basically a pit filled with mentally challenged hungry crocodiles and i know that being generous but let's give them the benefit of the doubt so whenever a president let's protect their point it's a fantasy world presents a fantasy world where the president isn't a moron when he wants to get something done he writes what he wants and then it drops the pages into the idiot crocodile pit the crocs then chill with up swallow it digest it and then. it it out everywhere and that's the end of that that he says high school civics they should that's ours but what if i told you there were tons of things the president can do without even getting near the crocodile pit and in fact trump has done all kinds of awful without congress approving it so here are the top things joe biden could do on day one even

without congress i'm not going to focus on whether biden will do these things he won't but we're giving him the benefit of the doubt he's not going to do that since he's not even in office yet so we can't judge him yet he totally won't do any of this but let's just wait and see maybe it will be us film and it will tell you a lot about joe biden about who he is if he does or does not do these things or at least who he was back when he remembered who he is let's start with immigrants. the older images are cheaper to buy the rights to anyway immigrants are some of the people struggling the most during this pandemic right well guess what there's a provision in our laws called temporary protected status which allows an immigrant to stay here without fear of deportation and considering how they've been treated

the past 4 years. i think they could use a price so that temporary protected status or t.p.s. is a blanket protection offered to a country's nationals who have experienced a natural disaster such as a hurricane earthquake civil war or other extraordinary circumstances oh you mean like a pandemic how about that between the pandemic u.s. bombing overseas u.s. economic sanctions climate change and auto tune pretty much every country in the world right now is experiencing some kind of disasters it's next up biases on day one could do the war on terror that's right congress get involved their war powers long ago so biden all by himself could end the war on terror it made no sense the order made no sense from the beginning and it's killed millions made america less

secure by making us despised worldwide but also joe biden says he is not going to do anything with his executive orders that isn't constitutional well not only is this constitutional but really the war on terror has always been unconstitutional desktop the president could give us free college without congress. michael dannon berg a former senior aide to the late senator ted kennedy asserts that biden can use existing statutory authority to forgive loans equal to average public college tuition on a rolling basis for 2 and 4 year public colleges affectively making college free and guess what having more educated citizens without debt means a better society in general whether you're one of them or not because if your neighborhood isn't educated people often can't make a good living and then the neighborhood goes into disrepair which is when the

crooks in the headbangers in the con man and the witch whispers charge showing up and for you know it your little girl has lost her mind virginity to a charlatan ride around in a crime oh bill we'll talk about the monocle but rather than make a college free it seems biden's out lies and slowly decreasing the amount of student debt they say they plan to erase 1st they said everything under $50000.00 then $25000.00 now for some of them say $10000.00 and under pretty soon biden will be proudly saying these going to raise $13.00 of student debt for every american and send you a free coupon for hamburger helper so we just 3 executive orders buying good and war save all the immigrants and then student debt and stuff bad for before breakfast my executive orders usually don't have that much power you know they just don't realize that my cat can eat my sandwiches anymore and she usually ignores them as we want to poverty poverty is of course raging out of control right now

with people waiting hours at food banks across america so what could job i'd do without congress to get more people the assistance they desperately need. you could change the definition of poverty and not get it people who are below the poverty line qualify for a lot of benefits like food stamps health care for people housing trump was trying to change the poverty measure so that fewer people are considered poor and get the assistance and then he could go once i got rid of poverty. the official poverty measure o.p.m. based on an outdated calculation designed 60 years ago is absurdly low today the federal poverty threshold for a family of 3 is $20578.00 a year on day one the incoming biden ministration can drop the o.p.m. entirely and alter alter poverty measurement so that it better a flex need that would open tons of benefits for people who are struggling

anyway i'm running out of time for all these but here are a bunch more things that biden could do without congress he could stop massive corporations from using tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes he could close guantanamo bag remember that he could give a 15 dollar minimum wage to all federal contract employees he could end a federal prosecution for marijuana and finally here's the icing on the cake you know there's a fight right now to force a vote on medicare for all i talked about it on the redacted tonight you tube channel you go check it out well it turns out joe biden could himself give everyone medicare for all on day one if he wanted to that's right you could do it using section 1881 of the social security act the language of the statute refers to any individual's subject to an environmental exposure and it says of the department of

health and human services can stipulate that such people get a single payer medicare for all type system. has this ever been done in america i'm glad you asked libby montana population 2628 has already. population 2627 kids just ate a matchbox car libby montana has mad as medicare for all because the entire community has been exposed to airborne especially this thanks to a mining operation in the area there for health and human services secured them medicare for all the are there other americans who have been exposed to hazardous chemicals or diseases recently i lousy to think for a moment wait for it oh that's right everyone got back we've all because we've offered

a crowd biden could give everyone medicare for all right data and we could join the rest of the industrialized world and even without the pandemic even without it by good still give most americans healthcare for all their exposures how about los angeles a small dog the cancerous roundup or herbicide spraying all over new york city cities their practice wells or coal mines or oil spills around about the 2000 cities across the us that have excessive the lead levels biden could give everybody health care on day one. so those are your top things biden could do without congress but he well unless he fears that the american people will stand up and fight back coming from washington d.c. the belly the beast is redacted tonight.

hello i'm lead cam no it's like the news from behind a new report from the nonpartisan think tank the center on budget and policy priorities found that nearly 78000000 adults about one in 3 are having trouble paying for usual household expenses one out of every 3 does that sound like a like a like a system that is working well does that sound like a machine that is just just home run along beautifully does that sound like like our citizens are living the american dream does it sound like they're living the good life arrived i don't know margaret i mean i mean both of them don't even have a hog so how can they would chance right on the hog if they don't have a step one gave each of these people a hard step true teach them to ride it step 3 teach them to ride in.

which is not easy because every is not a fat one. it's tough to keep your balance on the hog to kick. i don't smoke anymore but i've been super drunk on a hard sell on that my wife. divorced my wife point being this system is clearly not working for everyone it's not just not working for everyone that we're vote one every 3 adults and this is happening while wrinkled congress people and want state reps do next to nothing to help americans they send those earning less than $75000.00 a year a few $1000.00 which if you add add it up with the 1st really check it equals about $11.00 per day since the beginning of the pandemic. yet the who are we can buy to we're just not even good ones the cheap ones that don't even have brand name look

to save the year and meanwhile these same people funnel trillions of dollars to wall street wall street do it fine then they're not feeling your pain god forbid nancy pelosi or mitch mcconnell or the hallowed titans of industry have got 30 seconds without their personalized lectures make insurance everything is nice and moist down there they're not struggling they're not worried one out of every really one out of every 3 of us are by this system and imagine just for a 2nd just for a moment just for an instant imagine if we all united. imagine if the entire 33 percent of american adults along with anybody else who agrees or let's say 4550 percent of american society imagine if we all put our differences aside and fought back together. i get it i know we don't get along i know half of us spend our

weekend fighting with the lawnmowers and half of us aren't quite sure what a lawnmower is have or think clifford blake is the worst country music singer to ever live completely invented an ideal of a stereotypical american experience in order to appeal to any of suburban southerners who long for a time gone by as crooned by a banger and the other half of us know in the bottom of our hearts clifford blake not a real person i made him up and if you thought it was real then i rest my case we are very different but if the 3rd of american adults got together and said in a noble yet yet yet firm tone. this. then the amount of change created would be incredible no movement in recent history in america has had anywhere near a 3rd of the country devoted to it devoted to it it would be cans of millions of

pissed off adults in the streets demanding a government that actually delivers a government that actually works for the people instead of the corporations it would be so powerful it boggles the mind even contemplated $78000000.00 people are bloated politicians marinating in their own corruption we have no choice but to create change immediately just put our differences aside that's all it takes to the sign up sheet for the group we just have 2 questions on. one have you had difficulty paying your bills. if yes you're in the club number 2 if you answered no to the 1st one do you want to help those who have had difficulty paying their bills if the answer is yes you're in the club don that's it if the answer is no to both those. you're not in the club go back to pick and live. or

whatever parts you have ok so now we have the club of about $9000000000.00 americans then we start figuring out a few demands and we don't shut up and don't go home until they're mad that's it that's all i said it's all production nobody even starts talking about all the things that divide us you're not even allowed if you hear someone say what religion are you don't you give much. or if it's a woman that that do not do that that is inappropriate don't do it just if it's a woman just. say don't talk about religion. no one is allowed to ask all of those questions that divide us what part of you which is sexual preference who's your favorite football team do you think men only belong in the kitchen do you care about the environment are you circumcised do you like drugs did you study hard in college did you study hard drugs in college do you have kids if

no do you have kids you don't know about do you have a sexual fetish for people dressed up like storm troopers but without pants on now no questions asked that allow everyone to end up dividing one out of every 3 struggling adults and struggling and their allies all get together and standing in congress door saying you and your corporate owners have gotten away with exploiting us for too long enriching yourselves while others suffer for too long sucking up the bulk of our productive years one grabbing all the wealth for yourself for too long lived for 2 are manipulating us for too long winded and of every 3 adults what with the demands of a i don't know we should probably figure that out before we get up to the door you know the old on talk about this but we could do it how about things like $15.00 minimum wage or universal basic income medicare for all a bailout for the people rather than the corporations no more parking tickets how

about $330.00 have a redo of the final season a game of thrones whatever we decided one out of every 3 adults undivided undeterred entente on wait for anyone willing to take no for an answer. if you go to what brett but i'll be right back. this is nothing like football. it's not a money spinner but it is expensive. mended some dangerous . tennis is on the speedway. and they have no brakes that's a cool. stuff. some people will.

flock to the kaiser report 1st of the new year's day so we've got an excellent day on these christmas lights a darling this set i mean you know i took the money i save and i bought sats all right time now to turn to peak or is the editor over a crack and he's also an advisor at going back to the scene. is your media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe. high salacious full community. are you going the right way or are you being

led. direct. what is true wants is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join. us in the depths. or remain in the shallows. welcome back i'm still the camp businesses are collapsing left and right during this pandemic but the misfortunes of one industry in particular may be a bright spot in this flaming poop of a year for more on this topic loads go to our troop bomber dad correspondent natalie mcgill.

if there is one thing the coronavirus doesn't do it's discriminate it impacts beloved celebrities and bad crazy idiots alike and it wreaks havoc on the bottom lines of your favorite local businesses and even the large corporate chains that never should have hit the big time for glorifying rat infestation and with more people working from home and fewer people driving except to show off how many different from legs they can strap to their trucks corporate fossil fuel polluters like exxon or feeling that pinch after the great exxon documents show the firm may never recover from the impact of the coronavirus. looks like i got a poor went out for exxon.

you know for something that supposed to feel sweet of the face kind of salty. ok i know you're probably judging me for using a plastic straw or drinking liquor in public out of a trash can or both. but it's kind of hard to not immediately quench my thirst when exxon knew about climate change almost 40 years ago and spent more than $30000000.00 on think tanks that promote climate denial but now you don't have to be a scientific genius to know if the fossil fuel companies did a reparable harm to our planet because even the average person knows that we shouldn't run out of names for tropical storms so fast that we have to name potential hurricanes after fraternity pledge classes the coronavirus has fossil

fuel companies on the ropes chevron slashed their spending after kobe fucked with their finances and b.p. says oil demand may never rebound to prepare demick highs as the world shifts to renewables and now that we do have big oil on the ropes you may be wondering how it's possible to give big oil the ivan drago treatment without killing as many rounds as there are rocky movies and 2020 alone increased activists scrutiny of permits and environmental impacts ultimately canceled the atlantic coast pipeline halted construction of the keystone x.l. pipeline in the u.s. and as of november 3rd the eventual shut down of the enbridge line 5 pipeline in michigan where an end bridge representative tried to vouch for the safety of a 63 year old pipeline to a shirtless activist covered it all boils and another activists it was pretty

upbeat given that he's at risk for choking on oil and being harvested for caviar but if you're not comfortable enough to slather yourself with oil or shake your fans there and fossil fuels you can start by saying if your college your bank or even your employer has investments in them and activists have done a lot of the grunt work for you because according to the climate activist group 358 out or. over $1300.00 institutions worldwide spanning universities governments philanthropic organizations and more have divested over 14 trillion dollars from fossil fuel companies and in november $47.00 faith institutions from $21.00 countries and now they would divest from fossil fuels marking the largest ever joint divestment by religious leaders in history even if some of these companies pledge to get to net 0 carbon emissions in the next 2 decades that's far too late

given exxon wasn't the only big oil jogger not that knew about climate change and failed to act then so it's up to activists to finish off big oil and because activism is a 247 job. they're going to need to remember to hydrate though i'd advise against real seo tiers they probably taste the salty is coca-cola the sign the water you know the water so bad that even greedy americans refuse to stock up on it during a pandemic and activists protests if you ever see someone passing out the snotty bottles at a protest there probably an undercover cop. reporting from an exxon refinery. now it's time to get to some of the stories that we didn't have time for a book now we do. correspondent. here. good so there was just a birthday recently and if you heard about this but the afghanistan war oh it's now

19 so what do you get. for someone who has everything i mean it's the. beer is what you get most 19 year olds i think they can't by themselves but there is some talk of the war ending right there was a new york times stick with. an ending that's been slow wind down but the latest thing is we're going to end the war slow for those on the other end of the bomb. things are pretty fast motion but there's a new thing that we're going to end the war but we're going to keep troops there so they can keep the peace which is interesting sounds pretty similar to what we've been doing for 18 years yeah well one big difference is that we are now training units of afghanis there is a unit known as 01 that's been trained by the cia and for the past 19 years has

really been the cia's war they've seen as their territory but they are basically training them to take over for the americans in the very important job of killing civilians which is not american no it's they're trained by the cia but what they do is i mean they are afghanis and what they are basically trained to do is not the brightest idea or the happiest one but they kill boys because those boys could grow up and become taliban so we got a storm of their asses and stop them from getting to to add to as old as the afghanistan war is and. fit under the title of. i think this killing wiping out a population because you don't want to see them get older yeah and so our policy has also been perfect this whole time which is to kill more civilians and by doing this we're trying to and our problem which has been when you kill civilians are

great more terrorists and this we think we're just going to get around that by killing even more civilians but lo and behold it's not working it's motivating more people to join the taliban yeah. it's been about 18 years of these calculations that are always wrong that are always horrific doesn't seem like we're going to get off the train anytime soon hopefully that and it doesn't look like joe biden will be taking the soffit he was reportedly in as vice president he was kind of the dulled on afghanistan but as it turns out kind of a dove look like it was a look that well like trump because what instead of 26000 barrel bombs over 25000 a year right it's like it was that the it was basically that and it's very similar to trump in that he says we can't nation build you know we're not going to make a liberal democracy in afghanistan it's just not going to happen but what we can do is destroy terrorists and blow them all the smithereens and just keep doing that into perpetuity so called terrorists and everyone around them yeah lovely thank you

so much and thank you. and here are your headlines from the future or next week you'll hear c.n.n. report americans waiting in line for hours of food banks due to russian canned tuna hack no. they got on october 9th and a week from monday joe biden requests patient asks house dems not to hold a vote for medicare for all until he's long dead let's not rush it and coming up in 2 weeks. president trump can't believe tenure will come to an end without ending poverty and homelessness he fought so hard but alas it's more than one man can do that's our show but check out every episode for free at portable dot tv also check

out my free podcast called government secrets with graham elwood wherever you get your pod guess i'll see you in 2021 until then good night and good friday. welcome to mexico as are plentiful survival. looking closer to the earth that's without. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't let this you watch kaiser report. americans love buying homes. this was a fundamental part of how our political leadership and our country at large understood

the bargain you get a hoe and then you'll rebel right that's the things you don't revolt if you have a stake in the system. and be really interesting to dial it back and think about the longer deeper history l.a. housings men in the united states not just back question of the american dream but the bigger question if you the dream has been for. has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opioid prescription is working for them in the remedy he said to. price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use there

really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggest that. the long term effects may not just be absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. as the u.k. comes to terms with life outside the e.u. it faces a resurgent independence movement in scotland where many are furious over brags that. the u.k. has given away a lot. and got very little in return the biggest impact to me is just going to be no travelling really no feeling like i am a european i mean mark. british doctors slam the government over a deliberate delay in giving follow up doses of a covert vaccine. and a deadly wave of covert infections in mexico city causes a rush to buy life saving oxygen canisters sending prices soaring. people are

struggling to get oxygen tanks and oxygen so.
