Speaker 1: always nailed the pronunciation for people's last name is introduced them. Uh,

17
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't like that time I called Edgar Edward. That

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: was awesome. I wasn't there for that, thank god. So Jackie,

19
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: what's the weirdest thing you've searched in the last week? Um,

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: the weirdest thing I I pulled up was a stray

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: dog that crashed a wedding but then got adopted by

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: the couple, because who doesn't love dogs and weddings and

23
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: that you knew existed? Or were you just like you

24
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: know what would warm my heart? Dog crashed away? No?

25
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: In fairness, no, I happened upon the story and I

26
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: went for it. But it isn't my Google searches. What's

27
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: something that you find to be overrated? Jackie? Um, okay,

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: so overrated? I find uh son to be overrated and

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: let me let me go on a giant cancer causing

30
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: organism that is killing us all than one day exploding

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: consuming us. Yes, yes see, I mean now guess you

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: just did that. Yeah. Also, I'm extremely pale, so the

33
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: very very like I've gone the like Oh it's like

34
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Nicole Kidman. So it's all good. I'll just like maintain

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: my paleness. But um, the sun doesn't like me. I

36
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: really can't. Tann doesn't like you, and you don't like

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: the sign. I mean, we have a love hate relationship.

38
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: When the sun comes out, I'm like, oh great, and

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: then I get fomo if i'm if I stay inside,

40
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: So then I feel badly about myself because I'm staying inside. Um,

41
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: but I can't. I cannot tan. It is a physical

42
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: impossibility for my skin just go straight to burn pretty much. Yeah,

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: I mean I can. After the burn, you could argue

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: the leftover is a little tan. Yeah, but it's it's uncomfortable.

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: And also, you know, I living in l A. It's

46
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: just always sunny. I'm from New York and that gets boring. Yeah,

47
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: you're telling me I'm from l A. That's why I

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: love a fucking jacket, like I love plays where the

49
00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: weather's jet a foreign article of clothing from other places.

50
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Don't realize this, but l A's weather is so good

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: that we're like desperate for bad weather. So we like,

52
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: we'll put on a jacket when it gets into the sixties.

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so underrated? Is rain in l A? Great?

54
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Is it? When it rains in l A? I love it.

55
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't think, Yeah, I guess personally, Yeah, I'm a

56
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: rain lover. I love it. I'm only happy when it rains. Um,

57
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 1: I love it when it rains, people drive terribly because

58
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: it's like, oh my god, there's a droplet of water.

59
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die, But I love it. My favorite thing.

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: This is so weird, but my favorite thing is when

61
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: it's raining on a Friday night and I can hang

62
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: out at home in sweatpants and order in Indian food.

63
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: So your fomo is pretty intense. It's what you're basically described,

64
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: a situation where you used the rain to justify why

65
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: you can stay at home, and then I have to

66
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: feel bad because rain absolutely, yeah, real focus, and it's

67
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: like weirdly specifically a Friday for whatever reason, it's like

68
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: end of week that gives me the greatest joy. So

69
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: then it's raining and it's dark, and I'm like, yes,

70
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: I have to stay in. There are those sweatpants, and

71
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: there's that Indian fan. I would use any flimsy excuse

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: to stay in, though yeah, drives my girlfriend nuts, just

73
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: like oh you know what, Yeah, well there's a little

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: a little too windy, too sunny. Yeah, yeah, exactly, a

75
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: little too sunny, that's right. The rand in l A

76
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: also like clears out the air, so you can actually

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: like it like cuts the dirt out of the air,

78
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: so then like you can actually see that l A

79
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: is right next to a giant mountain. It's like this

80
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: beautiful city. You just can't see it most of the

81
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: time because the air is full of dust and smug. Yeah,

82
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: I've always said l A is like my dog. It

83
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: does not know how to act. When it gets wet.

84
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: It like freaks the funk out. People just like can't

85
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: drive there. It's a it's a disaster. So we're gonna

86
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: do something a little different. At the top of today's show.

87
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: We are going to just go through five stories we're

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on, rather than doing a deep dive

89
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: into one story. Uh. So we wanted to start out

90
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: with the I guess it's no longer the Weinstein abuse

91
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: scandal and his uh kind of spread out into just

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: overall Hollywood sex scandal or I don't know, it's like

93
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: a sex abuse watershed slash sea change because so many

94
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: of the leading actresses in the city are coming out

95
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: and being like, yeah, I've had to put up with

96
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: sexual assault. Reese Witherspoon came out and said she was

97
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: assaulted when she was sixteen. Jennifer Lawrence was told that

98
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: she was quote perfectly fuckable when she was fifteen. Uh,

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: Courtney Love made a joke about Harvey Weinstein on Comedy Central. Uh.

100
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: I think it was Natasha la Jarrow. Yes, she was

101
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: interview went up to her on a red carpet and

102
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, any advice for young actors and or

103
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: actresses in coming up in Hollywood? And Courtney Love was like, yeah,

104
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: if Harvey Weinstein invites you to a party in his

105
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: hotel room, don't go. And she says that like c

106
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: A came at her the Creative Artists Agency, one of

107
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: the main agencies out here, and they're kind of brokers

108
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 1: of power out here and Los Angeles and basically froze

109
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: her out. And you know this is why you haven't

110
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: seen or heard from Courtney Love and Major Motion Pictures lately. Uh. Same,

111
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: It's the only reason, right, Yeah, otherwise I can make

112
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: the joke, it's a little bit easier, ye. Well, but

113
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to take anything

114
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: away from the serious necessary. Lauren Holly from Dumb and

115
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: Dumber uh says that she was assaulted by Weinstein. She

116
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: like was listening to these stories from all these different

117
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: women who were talking about like what Weinstein did to

118
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: them and she was like, that is exactly what he

119
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: did to me. Like it's the same exact thing over

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: and over. Um. I think we talked about last week

121
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: that it was shockingly systematic when it came to Weinstein,

122
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: but it also seems like just as an industry, it

123
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: was also sort of systematized. Like she left being assaulted

124
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: by Harvey Weinstein and like had a dinner date with

125
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: like other people in the industry and like told them

126
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: about it because she was like crying and they were like, oh,

127
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: you better keep your mouth shut. Harvey Weinstein is like

128
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: very powerful and like, um, because she wasn't raped, so

129
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: it was like it wasn't serious. He like showered in

130
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: front of her, you know, he made her watch him

131
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: shower and then like tried to like she had to

132
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: push him away and like literally escape the room in

133
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: order to avoid being sexually assaulted. Uh So Yeah, And

134
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: basically what we're learning is that as an industry, it's

135
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: it seems like it's systematic to um. Tandy Newton was

136
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: apparently when she was fifteen, dating an adult director. So

137
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: there's just like NonStop sleeves like everywhere you look. There

138
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: was the me to campaign on Twitter, the news is

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: saying that it was started by Elissa Mlano, but Jackie

140
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: were saying that it was actually started by a black

141
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: woman like ten years ago. Yeah, an activist ten years

142
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: ago started it, and um who. I don't know whether

143
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Melis Molano uh knew that or not, but it was

144
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: for the same reason. Was I too or me too?

145
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: I've also been sexually harassed or assaulted? And what was

146
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: what a what people on Facebook would ask and Twitter,

147
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: but I saw it primarily on Facebook. My feed was

148
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: just full of it. Pretty much. Every single woman had

149
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: me too. Yeah, right, it's not It's not like oh

150
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: and this was the other fascinating thing. And I experienced

151
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: it as well, which is was my the sexual harassment?

152
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: Was it serious enough for me to say me too? Right?

153
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: That's sort of how messed up it is and how

154
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: ingrained it is in our society. It's not oh yeah,

155
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: of course I was sexually harassed because that's an experience

156
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 1: I had. It was was my harassment rough enough for

157
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: me and to say me too? Like? Am I part

158
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: of that? Yes? Any of it? Yeah? I would have

159
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: to go through that kind of litmus test. And that's

160
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: and that that was really shocking. The other thing was

161
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: just how pretty much every woman um on my Facebook

162
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: feed had me too, and some men had it as well.

163
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,599
Speaker 1: Yeah right again, even like with the Hollywood thing, and

164
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: Terry Crews came out and said that it's not a

165
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: producer just straight up grabbed his crotch in front of

166
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: his wife. Vanderbeek too, it's yeah, and actually there's a

167
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: clip that's going around that we should play of one

168
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: of the quarries. Feldman, Yeah, was on the view and

169
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: basically said, Hey, I was sexually assaulted when I was

170
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: a kid by somebody who is still very powerful, and

171
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: uh yeah, you'll hear Barbara Walter's response. I'm saying that

172
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: there are people that were the people that did this

173
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: to both me and Corey that are still working. They're

174
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: still out there, and there's some of the richest, most

175
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: powerful people in this business and they do not want

176
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: me saying what I'm saying right now. Are you saying

177
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: that they're pedophiles? Yes, that's what and that's what you're

178
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: saying in your book when you talk to when you

179
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 1: talk to parents here right now. There there are a

180
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: lot of parents out here who want to put their

181
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: kids in this in this business, their kids are cute,

182
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 1: they're great actors today. What would you say to a

183
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: parent who just has the best of intentions, who's coming

184
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: here with their child. If you're saying that there's a

185
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: lot of predators in this industry, you know, don't go

186
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: into it with naivety. Don't go into it thinking that

187
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: it's all roses and industry. Trying to say, I'm just

188
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: trying to say that it's a very important, serious topic.

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: She said, you're damaging an entire industry. I mean, well,

190
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: in that case, let's just move right off. Okay, never mind, Yeah,

191
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: I think I mean and and you know, that only

192
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: just demonstrates what the culture is like within the industry

193
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: like that, even someone hearing someone's firsthand account of sexual

194
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: abuses there responses, you're damaging an industry because she's an

195
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: old industry that who knows what many of these people

196
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: have been so interesting though, right, so often these stories

197
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: are from women. But he was a man saying that

198
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: that was the case, right that that our society, it's

199
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: really about question. We question the victim, not the perpetrator,

200
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: right and and and oftentimes the victims are women. But

201
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: in this case it was a man who was a victim,

202
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: and she she just was like you sure about that?

203
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: You know? So all right, let's move on to our

204
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: next story. Um, we have the plague. There's a plague

205
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: outbreak and go off. Yea, not the bubonic plague, the

206
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: New monic play. Yeah, this this ship is worse than

207
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: the fucking plague that you think about from like the

208
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: medieval times, like the Newmonic plague. It's actually much more

209
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: infectious because it's spread just through like coughing, and it

210
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: can be airborne. But yeah, so far fifty seven people

211
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: have died in Madagascar and there's like more than six

212
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: cases of infection and it's like it's pretty it's rapidly spreading.

213
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's still a low international health risk, but

214
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,599
Speaker 1: it's still going to keep your eye on. And it

215
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: just kind of got a sinking in general of plagues

216
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: and things that are coming about because one of the

217
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: reasons why this plague seemed to be exacerbated by like

218
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: the early onset of the rainy season, which drove all

219
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: the rodents out. So he shout out to time it change.

220
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: There there are yeah, they're there are people whose entire

221
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: job is just like watching these little outbreaks of plagues

222
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 1: like around the world, like just deciding when the like

223
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: send people in to you know, contain them. And Uh,

224
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: they were taken off guard because this happened earlier in

225
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: the year than it ever has before because of uh,

226
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: just randomly it being warmer apparently. Uh no, nobody speaking

227
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: of climate change. There is what sorry the climate change.

228
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Sorry I said it too loudly. The first one. Um,

229
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: there is actually concern about the melting of permafrost soils

230
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: that have been frozen for thousands of years. And as

231
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: the soils are melting, it's actually increasing the likelihood that

232
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: ancient viruses and bacteria, maybe even from biblical times. Um,

233
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: they've lay en dormant, they're springing back to life. One

234
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: example is back in August in a corner of the

235
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 1: Siberian tundra, twelve year old boy died and twelve twenty

236
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: other people were hospitalized after being infected by anthrax. Their

237
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: thought is that over seventy five years ago, a reindeer

238
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: was infected with an anthrax died. The frozen carcass became

239
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: trapped under a layer of frozen soil that's known as permafrost. Uh,

240
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: and it stayed that way until a heat wave in

241
00:13:55,240 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: the summer of when the permafrost thought, so get excited. Yeah,

242
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: we have some diseases coming back. Yeah. The big question

243
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: is black plague. When are we getting that, bad boy?

244
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's still out there, so I mean

245
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: we were able to treat it. I mean, I'm you know,

246
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: hopefully there's some like some space age h like alien

247
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: ship that will come out and people have like superpowers.

248
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen somebody's hand like that was bitten

249
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: by the black plague literally turns black crazy? Alright, so

250
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: let's jump forward to our fifth story, which we'll take

251
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: us into our middle chunk, and then we will get

252
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: to the other two stories at the end of the show.

253
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: Uh So. Donald Trump two days ago ahead a press

254
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: conference at the White House with uh Mitch McConnell, his

255
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: his old buddy. According to Trump, his relationship quote, my

256
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: relationship with this gentleman is outstanding, has been outstanding. Uh So,

257
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: Trump has had a change of heart when it comes

258
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: to McConnell, and uh So, McConnell even was taking shots

259
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: at Bannon's saying that, like, the way you win the

260
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: Senate is by finding people who can win no matter where,

261
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: which is a reference to these crazy people that Bannon

262
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: is apparently planning on running. And he also used like

263
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: examples of like Tea Party candidates they ran out to

264
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: like run against senators like Harry Reid, Harry Harry, like

265
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: Sharon Angle and Nevada and things like that, and started

266
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: being like, we we tried going super right of center

267
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: or super right of where we are and it didn't work,

268
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: and kind of like that's why, I don't know if

269
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: Steve's plan will work. Right. So Trump is sort of

270
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: in a in a difficult position. You have to feel

271
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: sorry for the guy. But I think that I think

272
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: the reason Trump is making this move back towards McConnell

273
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: is because he realizes he needs him for his tax plan. So,

274
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: speaking of Trump's relationship with mainstream Republicans, We're going to

275
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: go to the break on Senator John McCain basically ethering

276
00:15:54,840 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in in a speech yesterday and in the

277
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: ideals we have advanced around the globe to refuse the

278
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain the

279
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: last best hope of Earth for the sake of some

280
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: half baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would

281
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: rather find scapegoats than solve problems. This is the Maverick

282
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: we know and love. You should play the beat to

283
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: shook ones underneath that those dirty All right, we'll be

284
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: right back, and we're back. Uh. So I wanted to

285
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: get into this tax plan as interesting as that sounds, guys. Uh,

286
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 1: I want to talk about just a couple of economic ideas,

287
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: like what one that's hugely underrated and one that is

288
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: wildly overrated because I think they helped get at why

289
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: ideas get over and underrated in America. So first idea

290
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: is this thing called the dependency ratio that basically says

291
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: that if you put all the working age people, like

292
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,679
Speaker 1: between eighteen and sixty five on one side of a scale,

293
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: and then you put all the rest of the people,

294
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: so people younger than eighteen or older than sixty five

295
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: on the other side of a scale, Like how much

296
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: the working age people outweigh the people on the other

297
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: side of the scale, UH will determine how successful a

298
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: country's economy is. So in third world countries, you have uh,

299
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, families having lots and lots of children because

300
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: there's such high infant death rates and so that keeps

301
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: them at a poor dependency ratio because the families are

302
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: never getting enough like time to basically build up wealth

303
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: and stuff. So that explains like why certain countries are

304
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: never able to break out of you know, being third

305
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: world countries. UH. It also explains like hugely successful countries,

306
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: like for instance, America during the twentieth century. UH. When

307
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: America had its huge economic boom, it was exactly when

308
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,159
Speaker 1: the baby boomers, the baby boom, which is like a

309
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: huge demographic spike UH, was passing through working age. So

310
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: when the baby boomers hit eighteen until basically right now,

311
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: as the baby boomers are moving into retirement, America's economy

312
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 1: has been going off because that's a good ratio. The

313
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: baby boom, the huge demographic spike, was moving through working age,

314
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: and so essentially you want more people that are in

315
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: the working age bracket than you are people who are dependent.

316
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: More people that are contributing is better than having a

317
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: bunch of wastoi children and old people, which is the

318
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: concern as the baby boomers a rich um. Another sort

319
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 1: of micro way of understanding the dependency ratio is mc hammer.

320
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: So people know that mc hammer went broke like really quickly,

321
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: and they're not totally. Uh. They think it was just

322
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: because he had like a gold plated pool and a

323
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: gold plated everything, but that wasn't necessarily true. Like, yes

324
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: he did, but so do lots of rich people. Um yeah,

325
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: that's how you know you're rich if you don't have

326
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: a goal plated pool or gold plated everything, right, how

327
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: else would you know? But the thing that he had

328
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: was he had an entire Like if you ever went

329
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: and saw mc hammer on his police hammer, don't hurt

330
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: him tour like I did my first concert. He had

331
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,719
Speaker 1: like ninety backup dancers that were like he put on

332
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: this huge show and they were all on his payroll.

333
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: So he had, you know, lots of money coming in,

334
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: but he was also paying a small village of people,

335
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: like they were all on his payroll. Uh, so that's

336
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: why he was able to go broke within like two

337
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: years after making all his money. Um, there was one

338
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: person bringing in money, so one person who was effectively

339
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: in like working age and then dependents. That's a really

340
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: bad working dependence. You should just started off with that,

341
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: right then. See how I didn't hear everything until just

342
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: now it all makes sense. Well, So China is another example.

343
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: They had this giant economic boom. And the reason that

344
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: they like went from not being that great to suddenly

345
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: like having this huge economic growth is because they had

346
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: a demographic spike that was going through working age, and

347
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: then they all artificially lowered the number of dependents with

348
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: their one child policy. Right, so you've got less mouths

349
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 1: to feed, right. But then right, China, like America, is

350
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: soon going to have its demographic spike go over the

351
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: cliff of retirement and uh, you know, they're going to

352
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: have people in the working age, so the people who

353
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: are actually working are going to be greatly outweighed because

354
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: they're like the one child policy generation. Uh, so China is,

355
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: you know, it probably in some rough shape as as America. Well,

356
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,479
Speaker 1: in Japan is going through that too as well right

357
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: now because they have a contracting population with many old

358
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: like with one of the longest life expectancies and very

359
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: very low birth rates. No one's having sex in Japan

360
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: these days. So the reason I bring this up is

361
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: because it's a hugely influential idea that can explain a

362
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: lot about the twentieth century, but you never hear about

363
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: it in America because it is economic theory and economic

364
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: idea that doesn't make anyone richer, and in fact, it

365
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: takes away credit from rich people. It doesn't like. It

366
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 1: makes it so that instead of being like these great

367
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: geniuses who came up with like all these wonderful ideas

368
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: that made them rich and made America money, it's just

369
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: a demographic game. Um. So that's an example of an

370
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: underrated economic idea. An overrated economic idea is the idea

371
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: that Trump's tax plan is organized around, which is this

372
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: thing called supply side economics or trickle down economics. Uh.

373
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: This is a economic theory that has been proven wrong

374
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: many times over and over again, but it has the

375
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: one thing that will make people return to an idea

376
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: over and over in America is that it makes rich

377
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: people richer. And that is sort of the gravitational pool

378
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: in America is. Uh, you know, whatever can make a

379
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: rich person richer. Uh, that idea is going to come back. Uh.

380
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: I saw a tweet from uh my my good friend

381
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: banks E uh the other day saying that no, no, no, no,

382
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: we're just we're just cool like that, very handsome. Uh.

383
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: It was a piece of like street art. That's that

384
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: rich news equals rich people paying other rich people to

385
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: tell middle class people to blame poor people. And I

386
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: think that while I'm not sure that it's always telling

387
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: middle class people to blame poor people, I think it's

388
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: definitely rich people basically telling other rich people what ideas

389
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: to put out there. And they're never gonna be ideas

390
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: that make rich people look bad, and usually they're gonna

391
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: be ideas that make rich people look awesome. UM. So

392
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: trickle down economics is basically, uh, the big idea behind

393
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: Trump's tax cut is that it's going to be a

394
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: lower corporate tax rate. It's going to go from I

395
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: think thirty five down to And the way that they're

396
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: pitching this is they're saying, because corporations, giant corporations are

397
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 1: going to have more money, uh, they are going to

398
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: give that money back to their workers through increased wages. UM.

399
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: Two days ago, UM, one of the sort of economists

400
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: behind this idea came out and said that each worker

401
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: can expect to make three to seven thousand dollars more

402
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: than they would have prior to this tax cut. But

403
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 1: it assumes that corporations will necessarily take any money that

404
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: they save and give it back to their workers, which

405
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: has never never yo, I've never that doesn't even happen anywhere.

406
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: There's a reason that the richest people you'll ever meet

407
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 1: are always the stingiest people you'll ever meet, and the

408
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: poor people, the poorest people you'll meet, are always the

409
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: most generous people you'll ever meet. And this theory is

410
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: basically and that that's obviously a generalization, but it's been

411
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: true the vast majority of times that I've met people

412
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: in my life. And uh, you know, this theory is basically,

413
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: give the rich people lots of money and they'll give

414
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: it to the poor people, which has just never been

415
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: how things have worked. And that's vastly oversimplifying it. Um.

416
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: But also we've seen actually, even with you know, sort

417
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 1: of the downturn in the economy that we we just

418
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 1: went through, people are saving Millennials are saving money. If

419
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: we have if we're given extra money, we don't then

420
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: go spend it in the way that they did decades,

421
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: you know, decades in the past. As the argument goes,

422
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: they save it, and likewise the rich tend to save it,

423
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: not spend it, so it doesn't in fact really trickle down.

424
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: In fact, there's a guy, his name is Bruce Bartlett.

425
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: He wrote not entitled tax cut fever. Republican trickle down

426
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: theory is lies um, but he actually has some skin

427
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: in the game because, as he writes, forty years ago,

428
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: while working for a New York representative, Jack Kemp, he

429
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: helped originate the Republican as he writes, the Republican obsession

430
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: with slashing taxes that came to be called supply side economics.

431
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: He says that the theory was useful in the late

432
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: seventies early eighties, but it's long outlived it's usefulness, and

433
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: in fact that Republicans used to care about budget deficit,

434
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: and we're actually willing to raise taxes and oppose tax

435
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: cuts to reduce it. And he reminds people that Ronald Reagan,

436
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: who he did cut taxes in then supported eleven tax

437
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: increases to offset a ballooning deficit. So it's important to

438
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 1: note that even Ronald Reagan, you know, who's sort of

439
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: the king of the trickle down theory. Then realize, yeahs,

440
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: we just recently got a really great uh live experiment

441
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: slash illustration of how supply side economics works in Kansas,

442
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: so basically works. So basically they cut deeply cut already

443
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: low taxes completely eliminated state income tax for owner operated businesses,

444
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: and just basically cut tons of government services that relied

445
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: on taxes to you know, because they were cutting the

446
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: amount of money that the government was making. And that

447
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: means everybody's gonna start spending and helping each other, right,

448
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. It's deficit grew immediately to like unsustainable levels.

449
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: It started trailing behind uh, surrounding states that it had

450
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: usually beat or at least been extremely competitive with. Neighboring

451
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: states just started demolishing them economically, and they immediately, like

452
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: after only a few years, had to basically overturn and

453
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: go back to actually, you know, funding the government. I

454
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: mean even the Supreme Court. The cuts education services were

455
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: so extreme that the Supreme Court actually ruled it in unconstitutional.

456
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how bad it fun out of here.

457
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: What were you thinking our children need to learn? Right,

458
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: It's easy to lose sight of all the things that

459
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, we take for granted on a day to

460
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 1: day basis that you know, of the brilliant people who

461
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: like make our lives possible. We're probably educated by public education,

462
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: but we're just like, you know, because we don't see

463
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: that that's there's no way to make that visible. It's

464
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: easy for people to just be like, what's the worst

465
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: that can happen if we cut all taxes down. Um. So,

466
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: the other big problem that America has that this uh

467
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: plan only makes worse is inequality. Obviously. Um. The former

468
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: Clinton Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, said that as in

469
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: the twenties, so much of the nation's income and wealth

470
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: are going to the top that the vast middle class

471
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have the purchasing power to keep the economy going. Uh. So,

472
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: what he's referring to there is one percent of America.

473
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: The top one percent of an America has forty percent

474
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: of the nation's wealth. So even if the thing we

475
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: were saying before wasn't true, even if the top one

476
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: percent weren't incredibly stingy and like spent that money quickly, like,

477
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to spend enough. Like there's just

478
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: not enough people who have all that money. The bottom

479
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: eight percent of people, eight out of every ten Americans,

480
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: makes up only seven percent of the nation's wealth. So

481
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's insane. The top one percent take

482
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: home percent of the income. Now in that figure was

483
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 1: nine percent. The top one percent owned half the country

484
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: stocks and bonds and mutual funds. The bottom fifty percent

485
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: of the country owns point five half a percentage of

486
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: the stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Um No, that's me, like,

487
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: we should give the rich more money, It's right. And

488
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: a two thousand twelve Treasury Departments study basically said that

489
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: less than a fifth of corporate tax falls on the workers.

490
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: So the the idea that this corporate taxation is driving

491
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: down workers wages, the Treasury Department said that's not true

492
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: back in two thousand twelve. Uh. And that study that

493
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: they put together was recently taken down off of their

494
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: website for some reason. Uh. And then a Congressional Research

495
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: Service report last month concluded that the effects of corporate

496
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: taxes fall largely on high income Americans. So essentially, by

497
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: taking away the you know, high corporate taxes in America,

498
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: we're not going to be giving more money back to

499
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: the workers. Were actually going to be giving money back

500
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: to the richest, the one percent, who already owns a

501
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: insane disproportionate amount of the wealth in America. Right, And

502
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: there's and this all this feeds into just sort of

503
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: like this systematic dismantling of the middle class. That's that's happened, right,

504
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: because the most you know, like when when people say, oh,

505
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: America was great, I think a lot of people are

506
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: referring to this time like up until the eighties when

507
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: you could be a janitor and straight up raised a

508
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: family of four and like they can go to college,

509
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: and that just doesn't exist anymore because the tax rates

510
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: have just plummeted, you know, like basically the top tax

511
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: rate you know, was between seventy four and that was

512
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: like that was in the era when the middle class

513
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: was growing in this country. So it shouldn't be any

514
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: surprise that once Reagan comes in and starts slashing the

515
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: tax rates. We've seen like this entire this period between

516
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 1: Roosevelt and Reagan, where there was a middle class being built,

517
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: just completely go lopsided, and Reagan can like dismantle that

518
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 1: within like thirty five years. Right. It's also when we

519
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: had a huge boom in our infrastructure, and infrastructure had

520
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: to be paid for, uh, and we have crumbling infrastructure

521
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: and not really any way to pay for it right now.

522
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: I know, infrastructure is something that both Democrats and Republicans

523
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: hope that they can find middle ground, but for being

524
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: like the roads and electrical grid. Yeah, it's all falling

525
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: apart and uh all right, So that's why I think

526
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: this text plan is a terrible idea. We are going

527
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: to go to a quick break and then close things

528
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: out with two more stories. We're keeping it out. I

529
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 1: just want to add just one thing to the whole

530
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: idea of what happens when there's uh, like proper wealth distribution. Right.

531
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: If when people are in a system where there is

532
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: greater wealth distribution and there's there's more equality in terms

533
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: of what people have access to financially, people begin demanding

534
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: more out of society. Right So, like the civil rights movement,

535
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 1: women's movement, the consumer movement, anti war movement, environmental movement,

536
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: all these social movements, they grew out of the wealth

537
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: and sort of these rising expectations people had coming out

538
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: of World War two and this this new middle class

539
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: and these things they fucking terrify conservatives, right So, because

540
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: the more the more you don't have to worry about

541
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: other ship, you're like, Okay, hold on, I'm like we're

542
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: doing good. How can we do better? How can we

543
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: do better? When you're struggling to make ends, meet, you're

544
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: it's everything is far too chaotic to be in thinking

545
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: about progress when you yourself aren't don't have equal footing

546
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: financially to other people. And I think it's it's a

547
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: it's another interesting way to look at this because ever

548
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: since the Conservatives have sort of taken power in terms

549
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: of like dictating what our financial policies are, it's it's

550
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: it's been a very clear gutting of working people out

551
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: of the middle class. And you know that. I think

552
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: that's how people in power want to keep it because

553
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: you don't want people to begin questioning, like who who

554
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: was really at the levels of power here? Uh And

555
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: so I think, yeah, exactly. Uh yeah. So I think

556
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 1: that's just another thing to kind of keep to consider,

557
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: is that some of the greatest things have come out

558
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: of when we've had a very strong middle class. And yeah,

559
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't even know that there's anything necessarily

560
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: conservative about the idea that, you know, we need to

561
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: funnel all the money to like a one percent of

562
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: the population and starve the bottom eight percent of the

563
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: population give them only seven percent of the wealth. I

564
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: think a lot of that is the conservative movement being

565
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: hijacked by you know, extremely wealthy people who are trying

566
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: to literally rewrite the constitution. Brothers. I like that we

567
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: just equated the Illuminati and Koke Brothers. You know, another

568
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: deep dive will do later. The Illuminati is like the

569
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 1: fun thing to believe instead of you know the reality

570
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: of the Koke Brothers. Um, all right, that is all

571
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: the time we have for that depressing ship. We are

572
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: going to take a quick break and be right back

573
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:55,760
Speaker 1: to close things up. And we're back all right real quick.

574
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 1: I want to hit two other stories that we're kind

575
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: of keeping an eye on right now. Um, Puerto Rico

576
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 1: is still scrambling to recover from the hurricane that sort

577
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: of demolished it and to hurricanes basically, and there's a

578
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: new article in Newsweek that describes the situation where people

579
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: people are basically living in mold infested homes, where food, water,

580
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: medicine are running out. Um, all the wealthy people have

581
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: basically left the island. So there's you know, they're counting

582
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: on charity for a lot of their resources, and then

583
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: people just the charity, even even when people are donating

584
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 1: to them, the charity is not getting to them. Like

585
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: the surgical Ship us N S Comfort that we talked

586
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: about a few weeks ago that Hillary Clinton was like, Yo,

587
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: why is this not down there? Uh? So they finally

588
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,880
Speaker 1: got this big ship down that is for you know,

589
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: disaster Leaf, and only thirty three of the two and

590
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: fifty available beds have been filled because they just can't

591
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: figure out how to you know, get the people who

592
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: are sick onto the boat. And you know, the same

593
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 1: thing is happening, like we keep hearing that there are

594
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: these huge shipping containers full of resources, but there aren't

595
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: the trucks to drive them out to the people, and

596
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just seems like it's the relief

597
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: is being completely bungled. But yeah, there's just a really

598
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:36,919
Speaker 1: bad communication problem because even in San Juan, they don't

599
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 1: know who to talk to to get these people onto

600
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 1: the surgical ship, like when they like they barely have

601
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: electricity to deal with their patients. And it's just there's

602
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: like massive communication problems that's holding everything up, which is

603
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: really sad because the other the other part of this

604
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: story is like there are people in remote areas that

605
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: are just they do not have access to proper medical

606
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: care and their nutrition, like you know, if you're diabetic

607
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: or you have other issues. People are just slowly dying

608
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: from the lack of proper nutrition and medical care, and

609
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: that's kind of obscuring the actual body ac count of

610
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 1: what this hurricane is doing, because these are just gonna

611
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: look like, you know, uh, deaths that are from medical

612
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: complications rather than actual like the relief being completely bungled

613
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: and people are just slowly expiring. So that's a that's

614
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: another thing to really think about, because I think they'll

615
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: probably spin those numbers two by saying, oh, those aren't

616
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: hurricane related deaths. They can you know, point to these

617
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: other numbers that aren't as heart taking like the body count.

618
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: It's the only thing that uh, you know, Trump is

619
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: using as the barometer for how much sympathy they should have.

620
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: He was like, well, you you guys have what thirteen deaths, well,

621
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,560
Speaker 1: Katrina at the time, had you know, a couple of thousands. Uh,

622
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: And you know, first of all, that's not how we

623
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 1: should determine how much we how how hard we're trying

624
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: when it comes to getting sick people food. And they're

625
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 1: human beings. They're human, I mean as right now literally.

626
00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: Bethany Frankel from the Real House Lives of New York,

627
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: a show on Bravo has coordinated over forty planes delivering

628
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: food and medical supplies to Puerto Rico. J Lo and

629
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,000
Speaker 1: several pitbull and I mean I think j Lo and

630
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: Company raised like twenty some odd million dollars in a benefit.

631
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: I mean, the US government should be doing this, not celebrities.

632
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: It's great that the celebrities help, and as well they should,

633
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: are you saying Bethany Frankel does not usually get involved

634
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: in disaster reliefs. I'm like, well, where's that we need

635
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: to get. I mean, after the Haiti earthquake, all that

636
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: skinny girl Margarita showed up, thank god. But I mean, yeah,

637
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: she's kicked up now that she sold that brand. But yeah,

638
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: I mean it is amazing, yeah, that private citizens are

639
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,120
Speaker 1: taking it upon themselves to fill the gap because of

640
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: the U. S Government, the greatest military in the world,

641
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: can't find a way to get some planes and some

642
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: trucks on an island. Just remember it's an island surrounded

643
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: by water, lots and lots of water. That's the problem.

644
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: But yes, we want to find out a lot of

645
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: people don't know that. People don't know that. Yeah, yeah,

646
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: and obviously, uh, the wildfires are continuing to devastate California.

647
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: We talked about we haven't heard anything from the president either.

648
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 1: It's just California. It's fine. Yeah. Uh so last story

649
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: we wanted to just keep an eye on. Kaepernick is

650
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: suing the NFL. Uh. Colin Kaepernick is basically saying there's

651
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: has to be collusion illusion. I am one of the

652
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks around. Uh that I am, you know, at

653
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: least one of the best quarterbacks in the world, and

654
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: uh like, look at how shitty these other quarterbacks are.

655
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 1: And like Aaron Rodgers recently got hurt, and uh, Mike

656
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: McCarthy was asked, are you going to bring in the

657
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: obviously better quarterback, uh, who is clearly better than the

658
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: backups you have, And he's like snapped at the reporter. Yeah,

659
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: he was like, did you did you listen to the question?

660
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 1: I just answered, and he's like, I got three years

661
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: invest in these like other quarterback, these bum quarterbacks who

662
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: like one of them hasn't even played a real actual

663
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: game like in the NFL. So yeah, good they get

664
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,479
Speaker 1: some solid arguments against not hiring this man, But how

665
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: fun will it be to be in that courtroom when

666
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: they're like well, this player is terrible, players even worse,

667
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,359
Speaker 1: and I'm great. It sounds like a bizarre fantasy football draft.

668
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: We'll look at his numbers and how are you gonna

669
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: tell me objectively that you want this man over this man? Okay,

670
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: well they're bringing some like mad like yes, Stephen A.

671
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: Smith is like an extra if you're sixteen touchdowns and

672
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: four interceptions last year, which that's way better ratio than

673
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: I'd say of the quarterbacks in the NFL. Right now, Uh,

674
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: all right, that's all the time we have, Jackie, thank

704
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to

705
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,320
Speaker 1: remain the last best hope of birth for the sake

706
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: of some half baked, spurious nationalism hooked up by people

707
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: who would rather find skating notes than solve problems Okay

708

Speaker 1: five
