David Sirota, the founder and editor of 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,040 Speaker 1: The Daily Poster. He joins us now. David it's good 21 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: to see you man. Thanks for joining us. Good thanks 22 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: for having me. We've got a new piece that we 23 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: wanted to highlight here. Let's put it up there on 24 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 1: the screen, which is that the democracy crisis that is 25 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: never discussed. What is the argument you're trying to make here, David. Look, 26 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: we hear a lot about January sixth. We hear a 27 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: lot in the media about the Republican effort to restrict 28 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 1: voting rights in some of the states in the country. 29 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: What we don't hear a lot about in the discourse, 30 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: in the conversation is the other crisis that's humming underneath 31 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: the American politics, the other democracy crisis, which is what 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: people want versus what the government is actually doing. And 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 1: I think the Reconciliation Bill debate is almost a perfect 34 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: example of that. If you take a look at what 35 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats in Congress have been cutting out of their 36 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: Reconciliation bill, it almost perfectly matches up with exactly what 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: the public is telling polsters it most wants out of 38 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: that bill. The best example of that is the most 39 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: popular potential initiative in the Reconciliation Bill is the proposal 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: to allow Medicare to finally be able to negotiate lower 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: drug prices across the board. That provision is the provision 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: that has been held up from being added into the bill. 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: It has been watered down, It was threatened to be 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: taken out for weeks and weeks and weeks. It was 45 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: ultimately a hollowed out. I mean, the provision that they're 46 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 1: now talking about putting in there is the most absolute 47 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 1: minimal version of that provision, and it barely got in. 48 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,800 Speaker 1: And if you go through all of the other things 49 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: that have been taken out of this bill from the beginning, 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: what you see is it matches up almost almost perfectly 51 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: with exactly what the public says it wants, paid leave, 52 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: an expansion of Medicare. Look at taxes. Most of the 53 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: serious proposals, not all, but most of the serious proposals 54 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: to tax billionaires and the super rich have been watered 55 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: down or taken out of this bill. Even Joe Biden's 56 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: pollsters have said that this is the single most popular 57 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: set of provisions taxing the wealthy out of all the 58 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: thirty economic proposals that they tested. So again, what we're 59 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: seeing here is the Reconciliation Bill debate is an almost 60 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: perfect example of how Congress is doing exactly the opposite 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: of what the public says it wants. And David, one 62 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: of the things that you said last time, I think 63 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: which really resonated with people, was about Trump and about 64 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: where exactly people's misfaith and government comes from. Will give 65 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: us this your take on this in the context of 66 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: what happened in Virginia. Sure, I mean, I think, look, 67 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: Virginia didn't give voters all that much of a real choice. 68 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: I mean, you had on one side you had the 69 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: DNC's corporate money man, Terry mccauliffe. On the other side, 70 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: you had the Republican former CEO of the Carlisle Group. 71 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is the classic worst of all world's 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: kind of choice. And at the same time, you had 73 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats not delivering, at least not yet, It's reconciliation bill, 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: direct help to people. You've had headline after headline after 75 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: headline four months about the Democrats in Congress and Joe 76 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Biden essentially abandoning their most popular proposals. So then everyone 77 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: wakes up and says, how did Virginia go to the Republicans? 78 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: And the answer should be obvious when the Democrats do 79 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: not use their power to deliver real help to people. 80 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: Guess what people are willing to vote for the other party. 81 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 1: What we see at election after election after election is 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: that voters keep voting for change, any kind of change, 83 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: and when they don't get change, they keep voting again 84 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 1: for change. So that's why I think you see these 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: elections swing back and forth. It's not necessarily a Republican 86 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: vote or a Democratic vote. It is a change vote 87 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: from a population that wants change and is not getting 88 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: And then, finally, David, you know, we've seen different developments 89 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: here around the salt tax. Bernie Sanders said that he 90 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: was going to vote against it. There's been some movement 91 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: on that whatsoever. How do you expect that one to 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: shake out the fact that they're willing to go so 93 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: to the bat for that. But as you said, all 94 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: of the provisions are being taken out that people generally support. 95 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a good example, I mean the 96 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: salt the state and local tax debate, where a full repeal. 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: Let's be clear, a full repeal is probably the single 98 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: most regressive tax policy that you can You can pass 99 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: most of the benefits of a full repeal of that 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: cap on how much people can write off of their 101 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: state and local taxes. A full repeal of that is 102 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: most of the benefits go to the richest one percent. 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: And you've seen the Democrats from affluent blue state districts 104 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: demanding that that be put into the bill, demanding that 105 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 1: while for instance, a full Medicare expansion apparently is quote 106 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: too expensive, right, they're talking about spending four hundred, five hundred, 107 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: six hundred billion dollars on a repeal of this of 108 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: this these cap again a huge gift to the wealthy. 109 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: The way I see it working out is, Look, you've 110 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: seen Bob Menendez just yesterday, the New Jersey senator, not 111 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: some great progressive even, he came out and said, essentially, look, 112 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: a full repeal is ridiculous, that we just simply enriched 113 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: the millionaires. And he's from New Jersey where a lot 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: of those districts, those members of Congress are pushing this. 115 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: So I think what you're going to end up seeing 116 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: is a raise of the cap, certain levels of income 117 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: moving up so that people under that income threshold can 118 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: take advantage of it. But a cap on I think 119 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: it's you know, it might be four hundred thousand, five 120 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: hundred thousand, which I think is probably still too high, 121 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: but at least not allowing you know, one hundred millionaires 122 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: and billionaires to be able to write off their entire 123 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, mansions and estates in this I think that's 124 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: where this is head. Well, well see how it all 125 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: shakes out, David. Really appreciate your reporting. Of course, we're 126 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: in partnership with you, and we've given our link to 127 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: our premium subscribers there for a discount to your yearly subscription. 128 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Very proud of that, and we really appreciate joining you, sir, 129 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thanks so much, absolutely, and we 130 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: will see you all later. Some really interesting news that 131 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: we have been following from the very beginning Senator Richard Burr. 132 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: You guys might recall he's the Republican senator from North Carolina. Well, 133 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: it was exposed in twenty twenty that in February of 134 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, right before COVID was about to hit, that 135 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: Senator Burr made quite a bit of a tidy little 136 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: stock profit selling right before the large market selloff. It 137 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 1: was revealed that he had what was privy to non 138 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: public information classified briefings at the time in terms of 139 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: coronavirus that was about to hit the United States and 140 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: obviously cause a big stock market crash, which it did 141 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty. Well, there's been some even 142 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: more investigation here. Let's put this up there on the screen. 143 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: The SEC says that Senator Richard Burr had material non 144 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: public information with regards to the COVID economic impact. But 145 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: here's the crazy part. After Burr dumped his stock, he 146 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: called his brother in law. His brother in law then 147 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: called his stockbroker the very next minute. So what does 148 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: that tell us, Crystal That pro public a report reveals 149 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: that from the SEC that the senator had material non 150 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: public information about the coming pandemic and then his brother 151 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: in law dumped the stock right before the big crash 152 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: in March of twenty twenty. And the amazing part here 153 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: again is that him and his brother in law only 154 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 1: spoke for fifty seconds. And after that fifty second call, 155 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: whatever happened the very next minute, the man is calling 156 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: his stockbroker and getting him to go ahead and sell 157 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: his stocks. Also get a very tidy So look, doesn't 158 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: take a genius to figure out what was going on here, 159 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: And it's just really what is depressing is why does 160 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: it take like two years in order to figure this out. 161 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,839 Speaker 1: This has been almost two years of this information has 162 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: been available and slow, like everybody knew what happened the 163 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 1: moment that it was even reported in terms of the 164 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: stock trades. So now the more material that comes out, 165 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: the shadierrit looks. Recall that Senator Burr actually had his 166 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: I think his phone seized by the FBI and all 167 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: of that, but you know, no movement there in terms 168 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice. So it just goes to 169 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: show about how much of a crapshoot it is to 170 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: actually try and hold these people to account despite the 171 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: fact that everybody looking at this knows exactly what happened. 172 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: It's blatantly obviously he denies wrongdoing, etcetera. Sir. The SEC 173 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: also revealed they have an ongoing insider trading investigation going 174 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: on into both Burr and the brother in law. So again, 175 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 1: just to go through the timeline, Okay, he receives material 176 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: non public information, he dumps one point six million dollars 177 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: worth of stock, then he calls the brother in law, 178 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: talks for fifty seconds, and then the brother in law 179 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: immediately calls his broker and also dumps a bunch of 180 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: his stock and then lo and behold. Shortly thereafter, weeks 181 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: later market crashes, they both, of course escape unscaped. The 182 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: part that aid the Burr aspect even worse is that, 183 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: while privately he clearly knew that the shit was about 184 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: to hit the fan, publicly he was saying to his 185 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: constituents and to the American people, We've got this handled. 186 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: This is no big deal. We're going to be fine, 187 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: all of these things. So privately he's telling at least 188 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: one of his loved ones what's really going on and 189 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: what market moves he needs to make to make sure 190 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: that he escapes unscathed, and wildly misleading his own constituents. 191 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Disgusting behavior. And of course this fits into a broader 192 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: picture that we've been talking about a lot here of 193 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 1: the endemic corruption at the FED, in the judiciary, and 194 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 1: certainly throughout Congress. The fact that members of Congress can 195 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: hold and trade stocks while they are actively engaged in 196 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: receiving these briefings and crafting legislation that has a direct 197 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 1: impact on the market is totally freaking insane. It is 198 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: insane even making this trade. Forget about the insider trading 199 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: and having the knowledge and all just having these stocks 200 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: and making the trade that should be totally illegal. I mean, 201 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: in any sane world, that in and of itself would 202 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: be completely illegal. So this just exposes one more time. 203 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,319 Speaker 1: We talked about recently how there's people on TikTok who 204 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: are just trading stocks based on what members of Congress 205 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 1: are doing amazing because of things like this, How dark 206 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: is that in the system. How dark is that that 207 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: they just assume, because they're not stupid, that Nancy Pelosi 208 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: and Richard Burr and all the rest of them are 209 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 1: the moves that they're making with their stock portfolio that 210 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: they may have some little bit of insight into what's 211 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: actually going on, is why they're making those moves. Yeah, 212 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 1: and that's what it is. Look, we have covered so 213 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,319 Speaker 1: many of these Federal Reserve has now banded stocks. Congress 214 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: needs to band stocks tomorrow in terms of active trading 215 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: for all of these people and their family members. That's 216 00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: actually something that Dave Portnoy was one of those people 217 00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: who raise that. I would love for this to gain 218 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: some real juice in the actual electorate, because people know 219 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the system is rigged, they know it's corrupt. But here 220 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: it is, call by call, millions of dollars made while 221 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: you and your fan try and think back to that time. 222 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 1: How many people lost so much value in their four 223 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: oh one k yeah or whatever, Try and think back 224 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: to the terror. I mean, would have been really nice, 225 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: right in order to make sure that you would have 226 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 1: had that type of information, in that type of security 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: whenever your business closed or whenever you lost your job. 228 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: That's what Senator Burr had And that's not right. And 229 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 1: how many more Senator Burrs are there? How many Paul Pelosis, 230 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosis and Mark Warners all these other people have 231 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: made use of their office in order to personally enrich 232 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: themselves while supposedly benefiting you. It's outrageous, disgraceful, utterly disgraceful. 233 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: So there you go, State of the corruption today. Enjoy 234 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: the day, guys. A lot more for you later. Fascinating 235 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: moment from an obscure interview that Donald Trump recently did 236 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: on a conservative radio show, where he says quite a 237 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: few inflammatory things about Israel. Let's take a listen. Well, 238 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: you know the biggest change I've seen in Congress is 239 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: Israel literally owned Congress. You understand that ten years ago, 240 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, and it was so powerful. It was 241 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: so powerful, and today it's almost the opposite. You have 242 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: between AOC and Omar and these people that hate Israel. 243 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: They hate it with a passion. They're controlling Congress and 244 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: Israel is not a force in Congress anymore. I mean, 245 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: it's just amazing. I've never seen such a change. And 246 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 1: we're not talking about over a very long period of time, 247 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: but I think you know exactly what I'm saying. They 248 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: had such power, Israel had such power and rightfully over Congress, 249 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: and now it doesn't. It's incredible. Actually, that is something else. 250 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: I saw somebody who was like, what dimens of chess is? Yeah, 251 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: this is like nine B chess. It's fascinating. Goes, Israel 252 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: literally owns Congress, he goes, but right, so he's like 253 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: defending it, and he's like, and now it's bad that 254 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: they don't acknowledging a truth, which is, you know, well, 255 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: acknowledging something which has been very politically controversial. Yeah, to 256 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: say and then saying that actually that was bad and 257 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: saying that AOC and all of them are bad for 258 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: not being owned by a thrill that seems like kind 259 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: of a good thing to not be owned by well, 260 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: it's just fascinating foreign country. This is the always the 261 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: thing about Trump. He's always just willing to just go 262 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: and for example, I remember this on the Supreme Court. 263 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: Thing they would the right would hide for a long 264 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: time on abortion and more behind like textuals whatever, you know, 265 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: all these like oh you know, read the constitution. Really 266 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: all the voters cared about is they're like, we want 267 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: pro life judges. Yeah, but nobody's ever said that before. 268 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: That was the stunning thing about Trump. He was the 269 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: first candidate to just be like, I'm only going to 270 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: do pro pro life judges. And the evangelicals were like, finally, 271 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: like he just said it. There's no more you know, 272 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: all of this, and that's why people responted to him. 273 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: And you know, it's like whatever he does, whatever he 274 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: does stuff like this. I mean, obviously, what you know, 275 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: all of the organizations that came out and said that 276 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: saying this from a left wing perspective is ridiculous, you know, 277 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: and that you know that's none of that is even 278 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: true or it's anti static. I mean that they're not 279 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: they're just going to ignore this. But right, it's just 280 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: totally floated under the radar. It really is totally crazy. 281 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: Whenever with this interview, you'll recall Ilhan Omar tweeted something 282 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: about like it's all about the Benjamins when it comes 283 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: to the influence of pro Israel voices in Congress, and 284 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: she was widely roundly condemned. This is anti Semitic and 285 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: you can't possibly say that. And I understand that this 286 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: taps into some deep tropes and stereotypes about the Jewish people, 287 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: and so I do think you should be careful about 288 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: using that sort of language. At the same time, you 289 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: have to acknowledge the truth that you know, money is 290 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 1: how this town operates. It's not just about Israel. It's 291 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: about pharma, and it's about oil. And if you you 292 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: want to understand how that works, just look at the 293 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: dogpile that this Reconciliation Bill has become because of those 294 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: moneyed interest and those who have a particular agenda with 295 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: regards to Israel, that agenda largely being like total unequivocal 296 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: support in all instances and massive military aid to Israel. 297 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: They also donate quite significantly, and that is part of 298 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: why they have had so much sway over both parties 299 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: for years and years and years, and why the fact 300 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: that there were even a few dissenters and it is 301 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: still just a few dissenters from that orthodoxy is so 302 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: stunning to people. And that's what Trump is commenting on. 303 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: So number one, he confirms the trope and goes way 304 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: farther than Ilhan Omar. It is actually very antismatic to 305 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: say that ever went yeah, absolutely to say their own 306 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: that they own the Congress. Okay, so first of all 307 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: you say that, and then you're lamenting the fact that 308 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: they don't fully one hundred percent own the Congress anymore. 309 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: And again, this is the dude who ran on like 310 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: America first, Who's now like I liked it when Israel 311 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: owned Congress? And how dare AOC and il Han and 312 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 1: whoever else not be fully owned by a foreign country. 313 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: This is just a lot going There's a lot going on. 314 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: It reveals some of the inherent contradictions in Trumpy and 315 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: America first within his own White House foreign policy, which 316 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: you know continues to play out to this day. It 317 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: really is just amazing to me that he's willing to 318 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: go so much farther than even the most hardcore Israeli critics, 319 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: but from the right, and therefore everybody just completely shuts 320 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: up about it and you're not going to hear about 321 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: it anywh Ell. Yeah, No, we took notice. What to 322 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: do with it, but we took notice. We decided to 323 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: dance on that third trail because I mean, also, I mean, 324 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: he's the former president. When you say something like this, 325 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa, whoa. Yeah, So they're pretty remarkable. All right, 326 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: all right, guys, we'll have more for you later. Got 327 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,239 Speaker 1: some new polling out from more Perfect Union. They've been 328 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: doing a fantastic job covering a lot of the labor 329 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: action that's been happening across the country, and so they 330 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,239 Speaker 1: put a poll into the field asking people how they 331 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: feel about labor unions, whether they would support unions at 332 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: their own place of work, and whether or not the 333 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 1: current strike wave is quote long overdue. They found majority 334 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: support for each one of those things. So fifty eight 335 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: percent of Americans say they view labor unions favorably. Fifty 336 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: four percent say they would support a union at their 337 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: own place of work, which I think is really significant 338 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: because a lot of times, especially for white collar workers, 339 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: it's like, oh, that's a nice thing for like, you know, 340 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: if you're working at the dock or whatever, but I 341 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: can't imagine having it in my own for me, it's 342 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 1: not for me in my workplace. And then you've got 343 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,639 Speaker 1: fifty three percent saying that the current strike wave is 344 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: long overdue. One of the things that they point to 345 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: here as well is that there are some class politics 346 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: involved in the way that these numbers ultimately break down. 347 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: Lower income Americans more strongly supported each of those sentiments 348 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: than higher income americans. So, for example, the strongest support 349 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: for having a union at their workforce came among those 350 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: who make less than twenty five thousand dollars per year. 351 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: A full fifty eight percent of those individuals said yes, 352 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: I would like to have a union at my workplace. 353 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: But the differences were not that vast among the wealthiest respondents, 354 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: those who made more than one hundred and fifty k 355 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: per year, fifty two percent said that they would support 356 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: a union at their workplace as well. So you can 357 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: see though here how politically for Democrats forget about obviously, 358 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 1: like the values of workers should have power in their workplace, 359 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: and that's a good thing and helps to rebounce the 360 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: scales et cetera. But politically, they make the point if 361 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 1: Democrats actually care about trying to win back some of 362 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: the voters that they've been losing over the years, leaning 363 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: into their support for labor, leaning into support for unions 364 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: and putting policies on the books that will make it 365 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: easier for workers to unionize could be a path back 366 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: to some relevance with some of the people that they've lost. Yeah. No, 367 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: it's interesting in whenever you look at the polling in particular, 368 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: and I think the problem that everybody runs away from 369 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: this is that many of these people are just cross partisan. 370 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, a lot of union people voted for Trump. 371 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: A lot of them either voted for Bernie or a 372 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: lot of them also just set home and said, nobody 373 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: really supports me. So actually supporting you know, these type 374 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: of labor actions requires you to go beyond traditional mold 375 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: of politics, which makes it so that there's not a 376 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: lot of benefit in the short term, like media coverage. 377 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting. I saw somebody out on Twitter 378 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: was like, Hey, who's done the best coverage of labor strikes? 379 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: And you know, all the replies were like us and 380 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: I'm not just us, and the guests that we have 381 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: and the guest Jenniferman Tim Kelly. Yeah, but here's the 382 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: reason why there's not that many people cover. It's like 383 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: maybe what five six really? I mean, sure some of 384 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: it goes viral on Twitter, but in terms of the 385 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: coverage Washington Post, CNN or you know, I mean an NBCUS, 386 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean they do more segments on January sixth subpoenas 387 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 1: than they ever do about the millions of people who 388 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: are either switching their jobs, thinking about striking, supporting the strikes, 389 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: massive strike across. We've had so many guests here of 390 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,679 Speaker 1: the people actually on strike. They're willing to talk to you. 391 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: It's very easy, not that hard. Yeah, small business here 392 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: and we can secure interviews. But that's just not a 393 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,959 Speaker 1: road that they want to go down because also we 394 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: were talking on this too many audiences are not conditioned 395 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: to care as in the people know where the clicks are. 396 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: It's always in the culture war. It's the easiest thing 397 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: on earth either side. But building up an audience and 398 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: explaining to them why this stuff matters and getting people invested, 399 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: that's the hardest thing in the world, and they just 400 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: don't want to put in the time. One thing we've 401 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: been really proud of that we've talked about privately. Here 402 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: is that when we first, you know, from the beginning 403 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,760 Speaker 1: of Rising, we cover worker action because it was important, 404 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: it was important to us, teacher strikes, the coal miners 405 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: who were parked out on the train tracks blocking the train. 406 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: I mean, that was an incredible story, strikes, We had 407 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: a union presidence, we had workers and in the beginning, 408 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 1: those segments didn't get a lot of use. People didn't 409 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: click on those segments. And over time we've seen we've 410 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: stuck with it because we think it's so central and 411 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: so critical, and people have started to care more and more. 412 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: Or it's possible that just people who already cared about 413 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: this started to find our stuff more and more. But 414 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: the point is that, you know, a lot of times, 415 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: I think content creators just take like whatever happens to 416 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: click as the end all be all and not think 417 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: about their responsibility to, you know, to bring people along, 418 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: to present them with like here's something that actually you 419 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 1: might not off the top be interested in, but if 420 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,239 Speaker 1: you dig into this, this is actually really significant and 421 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 1: maybe over time you start to build either a different 422 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: audience or you start to bring your own audience along 423 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: with some of the things that are happening. So we're 424 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: really proud that our audience has a lot of interest 425 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: in these issues because we think they're so vital and 426 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: so incredibly important on the politics of all of this. 427 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, Trump was terrible on labor. His NLRB National 428 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: Labor Relations Boards pick we're all basically union busting lawyers. 429 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: They took aggressive action. I mean, they were terrible. They 430 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: were on the side of the boss, like routinely, in 431 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: spite of what he verbally said. Biden has promised to 432 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: be the most pro union president in history, most pro 433 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 1: union president in history. And yet when it comes to 434 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: the fact that we had striked Ober and tens of 435 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: thousands of workers walking out, authorizing strikes, you know, threatening 436 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: to walk out, they still hung on to this legalistic like, oh, well, 437 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: we can't really, we can't really say anything about use, 438 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 1: we can't really get involved here, which is nonsense. And look, 439 00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: the fact that it would be controversial, frankly, is a 440 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: good thing because that would generate coverage, it would generate buzz, 441 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 1: it would demonstrate who's on which side really, And one 442 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: of the things that's most vital in politics is exposing 443 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 1: the correct divisions. And so if Biden intervened on the 444 00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: side of workers, when the workers are dramatically popular with 445 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: the public right now and dramatically in the right it 446 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: would expose a division in a way that would I 447 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: think be beneficial of the country but also would be 448 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 1: you know, politically beneficial to the Democratic Party. BUTDA and 449 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: they're not going to do that, apparently in all the 450 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: talk of the proact and whatever seems to fall by 451 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: the wayside. So there we are, so be it. It's 452 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: up to you, guys. That's that's all I can say. 453 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: It's up to all of you out there who are 454 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: taking these actions. We appreciate you guys. Have a good 455 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 1: one and we'll have more for you later. See you later.
