Portland Oregon and Carlos
you're doing your own show now that's right Portland and
tell us about your show first well it's great to see your studio in washington
and we were alongside each other for six years at KP OJ and I think a lot of
people know that on November 9th at last year
Clear Channel flipped Kb OJ from progressive talk to
sports which is you know box port switch
premier syndicate in Clear Channel owns not a single local
guest on the show is just 24 hours lock and
I went off starter Kickstarter with your helping others and no we raised over
55,000 in five days and we're back up on the air at Carleton dot com
and I we will be moving I will keep our internet show
at Carlos and I come see a plugin twice and
human I will be on X-ray an FM radio hopefully beginning in January 91.1 FM
low-power FM in Portland Oregon I know everyone wants to hear your voice
again Tom I'm and order Portland and and and for our listeners who may not know
a and in fact actually usually it's misspelled
how are you spelling Wilson for your URL fear was aired yet but it's Karl Watson
to be 0 lf
S 00 N okay actually the real you your other people will know that
not knows that to their original spelling was German SOA Chen
right but the H would just confuse people rush on bolsa Han
I have a list my misspelling so took the H out the LDH
yeah and it's Carl Wilks and dot com and I just wanna put a plug that you're
going to be on our show next Tuesday at seven thirty pacific time to talk about
your new book you're going to be a powell's
on Burnside on the 22nd with your new book and i cant wait to read it
yeah i'm looking forward to and we miss you well thank you carl
and everything is and what is he in Portland in fact so if things are so
good at Whole Foods Tom
are selling so much the only thing left on the shelves is gluten
that's how good it s in portland oregon is home is coming back that's right
orange both people miss you so tell me about
politics on the on the in the northwest in the pacific northwest to you
you know we patty Murray for example is is in the chair
at this joint conference committee her and Paul Ryan that is supposed to work
out a budget
patty Murray who ran as the mom and sneakers and
that was originally a slur against her and then she took that ran with it and
as one
I believe two elections maybe three arm secure elections a senator from
3/3 yeah and are yeah
at the same time the right-wingers I mean you know they've knocked down this
Gamo thing and then there's this guy Denard Robinson I told the story on the
air for about three-quarters our listeners thought
I was doing satire no so tell us you know well
%uh the good part is that they're both washington oregon have not voted for a
Republican for President since 1984
neither state is voted for Republican governor since 1982
so we have good solid progressive organizations
in the state as far as the Gamo thing
um 522 initiative it was the same script they followed with prop 37 in California
last year
in the DB just the label the GM owes in Washington had a huge lead
then here comes the Monsanto money and they confuse people
they were confusing people about what would be label what would not be claim
that it would drive people out a business
just to relabel and it lost the same way it lost in california
we're trying to look at that an organ because it should be on the ballot soon
there and learn some lessons from that
you know someone or a bottle to that is this is no different than when they made
them label how much sodium is in thank terminate the label how many calories
are in things
I mean there there it should help the business not yet another those labeling
requirements for anybody out a business
yes in fact if you go back to course the Meatpacking act or the FDIC
the meatpacking industry the beginning the 20 century railed against that until
they found that could help their business a game consumers confidence in
their product the same the FDIC people realize the banks had
rules and regulations a be more apt to put the money in the bank
so um again it's the big moneyed interests and we
we expect the same in Oregon I have to say that the SeaTac
boat was the most significant vote subject is a
is a suburb it's actually the name over to the town that is suburban
Seattle that's right where mainly airport workers and hotel workers they
voted to raise the minimum wage to $15 dollars along with that was paid sick
days which passed in Portland Oregon this year
unanimously and that is a model for the rest the country now Washington and
Oregon at the two
highest state minimum wages in the country washington's 919 an hour
poor organ is 895 an hour and we index that to inflation
and you know that's low compared to what I should be federally bedstotal
a and the result is all these restaurants they claim they gonna be
the leaving the state or put out a business by an increase in the minimum
wage
they're still around in fact the knowledge that we raise said
periodically every time the index comes out
gives business owners some planning some charity church or worse for them they
turned out liking it
you know so you know we do have progressive but this suffer
Robert yet now this guy branding as Peter DeFazio only appear on the show in
last time he was on which is among you know maybe the greatest liberal in the
world as far as i'm concern and enters the 4th Congressional District workin
the Dean of the organ delegation and in 2010 this guy AR Rahman who is a
survivalist
he sells these homeschooling kits to make a living he is said that public
education should be
abolished but it's a form I love a torture
and he he has published he is a scientist by training has published
tracks
which say that the nuclear waste problem the way to deal with it
his sprinkle in very small amounts all around us
and that's the way I jack then he at one time propose that home
insulation in the walls yes be be made him a real active waste right
are peppered with regular arrays right away it would get are use to radiation
and be
to be a small amount he produced by the radioactive decay right here I can I
meet his goal cottage industry of energy right I'm so
a basically Peter drowned him in 2010 drum them worse in 2012
and then this is the state of the Republican Party in oregon it so bad
they named
this year art Robinson as the chair have the republican party that's how in
disarray it is in the Beaver State
and now enemy if I can add yes he notifies you create a website called who
is %ah Robinson back Ryan prime
which is hysterical when he married my end simply has clipped a BART
promise in saying the things that you and I'm a doctor so he just reveals
Himself it is
nowhere just leading in in now to get the what's up
but done now art Rumson as last week says he's gonna make a third run
at Peter man I guess the republican party will be at a crazy chair the heart
by the crazier 1
but the only thing that makes it I worth talking about
be on them the macabre a truck that is this guy gets
big money from hedge fund managers the state's public millionaires
in in Washington DC writer in New York State actually work out very very upset
if I Z O four trying to raise
um is a bit proposing the state tax basically a transaction tax on right on
and and also trying to raise the the capital gains tax rate for his house
Holly
so mom in addition to that race and I don't think peers in any danger the
marquee race in organ next year old
BR Senator Jeff Merkley who is just been the model
progressive senator for freshman year I I was a fundraiser with Jeff
not long ago and told us that before Ted Kennedy died
am Ted Kennedy *** different senators to carry different parts of his legacy
and he gave Jeff Merkley and at the Employment non-discrimination Act and
it's finally passed the Senate
and I would like to ask Greg Walden whose are one republican congress
you supported and in 2007 watcher statement on it now
if you're John banners lieutenant top lieutenant Greg Walden
asked the speaker to bring up and in the house if you're listening to the show
yeah people in Oregon should call Great Wall dance office and say
you supported and in 2007 do you still support it nip so
why won't your speaker bring it to the floor the United States House that's a
good question for listeners than
and and and and very simply people should also be gone John painters
spine addition to remember con exactly and say you know
whether it passes or fails in the house right at least give it about
prank but louisiana got social pass but that which is why john bainer refuses to
bring into the fray for right
the has stirred rule which he had to break just don't have to drill a man has
to rule said you gotta have a majority have your caucus
in favor something the the bear rule is you have to have a hundred percent of
your *** in for air you have to be able to pass something which is
the enterococcus -15 boats in order to pass the main rule
