Hey, guys, ready or not, twenty twenty

0:02

four is here, and we here at

0:04

breaking points, are already thinking of ways we can

0:07

up our game for this critical election.

0:08

We rely on our premium subs to expand coverage,

0:11

upgrade the studio ad staff, give you,

0:13

guys, the best independent.

0:15

Coverage that is possible.

0:16

If you like what we're all about, it just means

0:18

the absolute world to have your support. But enough

0:20

with that, Let's get to the show.

0:36

Some breaking news happening in the media world,

0:39

a titanic event, maybe not that Titanic.

0:41

Let's go and put this up there on the screen.

0:43

Ninety two year old Rupert Murdoch

0:45

is officially stepping down as the chairman

0:47

of Fox and News Corp.

0:49

Here's what he writes in a memo

0:51

to colleagues.

0:52

Dear colleagues, I'm ready to let you know I've decided to transition

0:55

to the role of chairman emeritus at Fox

0:57

and News. For my entire professional life,

0:59

I have engaged daily with news and ideas that will not

1:01

change. The headline is that he will be

1:03

turning all responsibilities over

1:05

to his son, the sole runner of

1:07

the company, Lachlan Murdoch. He

1:09

writes, quote, my father firmly believed

1:11

in freedom. Lachlan is absolutely committed to this cause.

1:14

Self serving bureaucracies are seeking to silence

1:16

those who would question their providence and purpose. Elites

1:19

have contempt for those who are not members.

1:20

Of their rarefied class.

1:22

Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites,

1:24

peddling political narratives rather than

1:26

pursuing the truth. Bit rich coming from the multi

1:28

billionaire who's made really

1:31

the same business as doing the exact same thing but for

1:33

other people, hey, you know who amongst

1:35

us that.

1:37

It does of course settle a projection there.

1:39

For a major succession related drama,

1:42

because Lachlan will be in charge

1:44

of the company for now, but the

1:47

ninety two year old Murdoch whenever he dies.

1:49

There's actually a clause I believe in his trust

1:52

or as well, whereas four surviving children

1:54

will all have equal voting shares

1:56

for the future of the company. James

1:58

Murdoch, on others, son, is very

2:01

dismuch disagrees with Lachlan and with the

2:03

future of Fox News and News Corp.

2:05

He's very much more like Hillary Clinton type

2:08

liberal supporter and would probably

2:10

be more likely to either sell it off or to change

2:12

the editorial direction of the company. Apparently the other two

2:15

children are probably more inclined to agree

2:17

with James, but there's no real way to change

2:19

this. So it really is like the drama from

2:22

six. But as long as he's alive, Lachlan will remain

2:24

in charge.

2:24

But be session fans. I guess James

2:27

is more like Chavn Yes, but the idea

2:29

well, and Lachlan is like Shron.

2:31

Was actually interesting character, though James

2:34

appears to me to just be like your standard

2:36

variety multi billionaire son lives.

2:38

I'm sure there are layers there.

2:40

I'm sure there are layers there, but I mean,

2:42

the idea is that Lachlan

2:44

was like buddies with Tucker and sort of embraced

2:47

this trumpy persona

2:50

at least he was more comfortable with that extent.

2:53

So yeah, so you can slot in which

2:55

our succession character you feel like he fits.

2:57

But at least for now we have an answer of who

2:59

is going to take over the reins in

3:02

the immediate future. And obviously, I mean this really does

3:04

come at a critical juncture for Fox

3:06

News, in particular because the

3:08

entire cable business, and certainly

3:10

in the entire cable news business, is on

3:12

a on a downswing, probably

3:15

a permanent one. You know, they're trying to figure

3:17

out their streaming and how they continue

3:19

to compete in a new era. And

3:21

then obviously on the political front, they

3:23

threw all in with Ronda Santis. Ronda

3:26

Santis is in fifth place in New Hampshire right

3:28

now, like He's decline

3:30

has been precipitous. He clearly

3:33

he's you know, maybe barely hanging

3:35

out in to second place in most polls,

3:37

but is not even close to challenging Trump

3:39

for the brass ring here, and so you

3:42

know that bet was off there.

3:44

Still continue to be in legal trouble over

3:46

their coverage and stopped steal nonsense.

3:49

They're still embroiled in lawsuits there, so that

3:51

has been an issue for them. So there's a

3:53

lot of questions about

3:55

the future of this organization, how they position themselves

3:58

in a potentially next Trump and administration.

4:00

Throughout the Republican primary, how they positioned

4:02

themselves for the future with streaming, et cetera. They

4:05

have very all the cable news

4:07

companies have a very elderly audience base,

4:09

so that's a risk for them as well. So does

4:12

come at a kind of pivotal

4:14

moment for the industry and Fox News

4:16

included.

4:17

Just think back to our focus group, only one

4:19

person said Fox News was really got there.

4:21

That's right, one out of eight. So that tells

4:23

everything. Publican base voters

4:26

ten years ago.

4:26

One said Fox twenty years

4:28

ago they would be like Fox, Fox five will they would have named

4:31

every single one of their favorite shows that

4:33

time is damn guys, the Internet has completely

4:35

taken over.

4:36

So yeah, he's got it. He's got a tough thing

4:38

going for him.

4:38

If I were them, I mean, Fox is not where the

4:40

fu I mean, that's where the money was. But obviously

4:43

the one bet of their entire portfolio

4:45

that I think is the best of Wall Street Journal, you know, if if

4:47

they still have their hands on but that's not how

4:49

they look it over there, because it doesn't print the same amount

4:51

of cable carriage fees.

4:53

He's got. He's got a lot on his hands, I think for

4:55

the future.

4:55

Indeed, I

4:58

did a monologue about the Sound Freedom not that long

5:00

ago. But there's been some very troubling

5:03

developments with the leadership of the organization

5:05

that was behind it, specifically Tim Ballard.

5:08

Let's go and put this up there on the screen.

5:10

So Tim Ballard has how had to

5:12

depart the operation Underground Railroad

5:15

after a sexual misconduct investigation.

5:18

Internally, they said, quote, our has

5:20

dedicated to combating sexual abuse

5:23

and does not tolerate sexual harassment

5:25

or discrimination by anyone

5:27

inside of the organization.

5:30

So what they said is that while

5:32

Tim Ballard allegedly is preparing

5:34

for a Senate run Crystal, he quote

5:37

has invited women to act as to

5:39

quote his wife, on undercover missions

5:42

which were aimed at rescuing victims of sex

5:44

trafficking. He would then quote allegedly

5:46

coerce these women into sharing a bed or

5:48

to showering together, claiming it

5:50

was necessary to fool traffickers.

5:53

So obviously that's incredibly creepy

5:55

behavior. They're a believed quote

5:57

to be higher than seven in terms of the number

5:59

of women. That would account for some employees

6:01

who were coerced into this. And

6:04

you know, the organization itself has

6:08

distanced himself, they said, quote he has permanently

6:10

separated from the organization. We're dedicated

6:12

to combating sexual abuse. We have retained

6:14

an independent law firm to conduct

6:17

a comprehensive investigation to all the

6:19

relevant allegations. What I actually thought

6:21

was most noteworthy was the Mormon Church

6:23

ranging in let's put this up there on the screen.

6:26

The Church of Latter day Saints actually denounced

6:28

many of the claims made by Tim

6:31

Ballard, saying quote, his activities

6:33

were morally unacceptable and

6:36

that they had betrayed the

6:39

French. This was after a previous allegation

6:41

about how he had been betrayed

6:43

and how the president of a

6:46

church had been has had his

6:48

name used in terms of Tim's quote

6:50

personal or financial interests. It's pretty

6:52

rare to see the Mormon Church

6:55

actually come out and basically

6:57

disavow and denounce the claims which

6:59

were made that basically that the church was standing

7:01

by him. As I said, the backdrop of all this is

7:04

he wants to run for a Senate in Utah

7:06

and then at the same time, with

7:09

other things dropping, let's put this up there on

7:11

the screen. One of the producers

7:14

behind the film quote held an

7:16

allegedly underaged trafficking

7:18

victim's breast during an

7:20

was found during an investigation for sexual

7:23

misconduct during one of these investigations.

7:26

And or trips that were made

7:29

with the to go and to rescue

7:31

victims of human trafficking.

7:33

So some contrary behavior to

7:35

what was shown in the film Crystal I think

7:37

to say the least.

7:38

Indeed, and listen, to be clear,

7:41

Tim Ballard denies everything as

7:43

he did nothing wrong, that they had really strict

7:46

guidelines in place, et cetera, et cetera. But you now

7:48

have a lot of women who

7:51

effectively said very

7:53

similar behavior that they experienced.

7:56

There was a letter that was going around throughout

7:58

the Utah philanthrop community

8:00

basically warning about this HR investigation

8:03

that was occurring within his own

8:05

organization, which again he has now been forced out

8:07

of right into these sexual

8:10

harassment allegations. Part

8:12

of what the letter said is it was ultimately

8:14

revealed through disturbingly specific and

8:16

parallel accounts that Tim has been deceitfully

8:18

and extensively grooming and manipulating

8:21

multiple women for the past few years,

8:23

with the ultimate intent of coursing them to participate

8:26

in sexual acts with him under the

8:28

premise of going where it takes and

8:30

doing whatever it takes to save

8:32

a child. So the allegation here

8:34

is that effectively he would

8:36

use these women's real

8:39

concern about trafficking victims

8:41

and say, well, you know, how far would you go to

8:43

make sure that these kids are okay? Well, I guess you have

8:45

to, you know, sleep at the bed that I guess you have to shower

8:48

with me. I guess you have to pretend you're my wife for

8:50

this trip. Those are the allegations, and

8:52

I think, you know, the fact that he was pushed out of his own organization

8:54

says something. There's also there

8:56

is a long documented track

8:59

record of him being caught in

9:01

overt lies about some of the work

9:03

that his organization has done, including

9:06

you know, things that he has told Congress about

9:08

specific trafficking survivors,

9:11

the details of which he made up. The involvement

9:14

of his organization with these

9:16

trafficking survivors he also invented

9:19

and embellished. So there were some red

9:21

flags about this dude already, even

9:23

in advance of these allegations. And then

9:25

the other thing that you know, within

9:28

the world of organizations that are genuinely

9:30

working to combat human trafficking,

9:33

there were a lot of questions about their tactics, and

9:35

that ties into the other allegations about

9:37

this executive producer and how he

9:39

ends up, you know, groping this uh

9:42

maybe under age potentially underage,

9:45

sixteen year old, potentially uh sex

9:47

trafficking victim. Is the

9:49

the other organizations said, listen, part

9:51

of what you're doing here is you're actually creating

9:54

more demand for sex trafficking

9:56

and in particular underage sex trafficking victims

9:58

by going into these commune in the tactics

10:00

that you're using. So there were a lot of red

10:02

flags. That doesn't mean you can't like the movie, that doesn't

10:05

mean that you can't really support

10:07

the core underlying mission,

10:10

but just in terms of these particular individuals

10:12

being heroes.

10:14

A lot of problems.

10:14

I think that's the that's the key point, right,

10:16

which is that the movie was popular for

10:19

a reason.

10:19

It was actually one of the biggest films in South America as

10:21

well.

10:22

Like a lot of people, the idea behind

10:24

it really resonated in terms of the problem probably

10:26

which is very present, but that the people behind

10:28

it, you know, people behind it, at

10:30

the very least, have not conducted themselves

10:33

in the most professional manner, regardless of

10:35

whether it's true or not.

10:36

And I actually think that's a shame for the organization.

10:38

And unfortunately, I've.

10:39

Seen a lot of people will be like this is a witch

10:41

hunt and all of that, and I'm like, listen,

10:43

you know you read these are people who are in the organization

10:46

who agreed with the cause, who it's like they're

10:48

not like liberals so much.

10:50

They were on these trips.

10:51

They who were on the trips, who are involved

10:54

the Church of Ladder, like the freaking Mormon.

10:56

You're accusing them of being like liars.

10:58

And yeah,

11:01

it's like, what are we talking about anyway,

11:04

Let's all just be honest, let's have a

11:06

discussion, especially because I know that

11:08

the film resonated with so many people.

11:10

That doesn't mean.

11:11

Though that it's all about real life. So important

11:13

to always keep that in mind. And I'll see you guys later.

11:16

We love history over here, and Crystal actually suggested

11:18

this, so I decided to do a.

11:19

Little bit of a dig and give everyone

11:21

the facts.

11:21

So this some fascinating stuff released from

11:24

the Vatican archives. Let's go ahead and put

11:26

this up there on the screen. A

11:28

new letter shows that Pope Pius the

11:30

twelve probably knew about

11:32

the Holocaust much earlier

11:34

than the Vatican has ever admitted to.

11:37

So this letter, it.

11:38

Was sent actually in nineteen forty

11:41

two, and it warns

11:44

about Nazi attempts explicitly

11:46

to exterminate Jews.

11:47

In the Holocaust.

11:49

The letter, which was reproduced, shows

11:51

that years before the Vatican

11:54

has previously maintained that they knew

11:56

about the mass extermination campaign

11:58

against Jews in the Holocaust, that a

12:01

priest, a German America or sorry, a German

12:03

Catholic priest, had given a heads

12:06

up to the Vatican that quote, six thousand

12:08

Poles and Jews a day were

12:10

being killed quote in ss

12:12

furnacer furnaces at the

12:14

Belzak camp near Rava

12:16

Ruska, which was then part of German occupied

12:19

Poland now in western Ukraine. Apparently

12:21

they also referenced Auschwitz

12:23

and Dakau, some of the most infamous and worst

12:25

death camps in the entire Holocaust.

12:28

Now, the reason why this is very significant is because

12:30

there's been always a lot of debate about the Vatican

12:33

and how they handled World War Two

12:35

and specifically Nazi Germany. And so what

12:38

this brings up is the fact that the Pope at

12:40

that time actually never spoke out against

12:43

Hitler while he was in power.

12:45

Now, the key part of that, though, is that

12:47

while he didn't, yes, technically do that,

12:50

the Vatican has always argued that they

12:52

used diplomacy to try and prevent a

12:54

Nazi backlash, that really what

12:56

they did is they worked like behind the scenes.

12:59

There's always been a lot of controversy around

13:01

this, because there's questions about like

13:03

the Pope at that time modives themselves.

13:06

The Allied powers actually begged

13:08

the Vatican to get involved.

13:11

I don't know.

13:12

I mean, after reading this, it does seem

13:14

pretty clear like you knew exactly what was going on in December

13:16

of nineteen forty two at the same time, I mean, like I'm

13:18

like somewhat sympathetic, I guess because it

13:20

was a crazy situation. They the

13:22

Nazis had long been like anti Catholic,

13:24

but politically there were some interesting stuff going on between

13:27

these two parties when the Nazis rose to

13:29

power. But then of course they were also going after in

13:31

some cases priests and others who were working in

13:33

the resistance movements, like in France. So I

13:35

don't know, maybe in their justification, I'm assuming

13:38

as they didn't want to invite like explicit

13:40

backlash against the Church, that's

13:42

what they're saying.

13:43

That's their spin. I mean, I don't know.

13:44

To me, it seems pretty clear cut, like you knew there were

13:46

death camps and you didn't say anything about

13:49

it. So, and there's also interesting

13:52

this, as you said, it was found in the Vatican archives

13:55

in letters correspondence that they said was

13:57

like haphazardly stored and seems

14:01

to not just be a one off. It seems to

14:03

be a series of correspondents

14:05

between this individual and the Pope.

14:08

So the idea being that, you know,

14:10

there were letters before this, even before

14:12

this letter. Now that we've found that they have not let

14:15

yet located, either they've been misplaced

14:17

forever or they're somewhere else in the Vatican archives

14:19

that haven't been turned up yet. But the idea

14:21

being that, like, this wasn't even your first signal.

14:24

You knew what was going on even before this, You were

14:26

in this ongoing correspondence with this individual.

14:29

So to me, it seems pretty hard

14:31

to justify.

14:31

Yeah, especially because the Allied powers

14:34

were literally begging them to do

14:36

it. There was actually an interesting new book that

14:38

just came out last year, a guy named David

14:40

Kurtzer. It was called The Pope at War.

14:43

It really puts the It puts the Pope on

14:45

blast and oh really, yeah, I mean, he didn't

14:47

have this document, but he knew and inferred

14:50

enough. What effectively he concluded

14:52

is quote he thought he could negotiate with Nazi

14:54

dictator Adolf Hitler and tempered

14:57

Nazi hatred with diplomacy while

14:59

the pope act carefully quote amid initial

15:01

concerns that access powers may eventually

15:03

control europe pies never changed

15:06

his approach, even as evidence and pleased

15:08

for the Vatican to take a stand mounted

15:10

so quote, as a moral leader. He must

15:12

be judged a failure also because

15:15

he was in power. I mean, you know, it's

15:17

a crazy situation. He came to power

15:19

I think it was like March nineteen thirty

15:22

nine, and he died in almost nineteen

15:25

sixty, like nineteen fifty eight, So he

15:27

was the pope for almost twenty years. And

15:29

so even afterwards, apparently

15:31

they did quite a bit to just cover

15:34

up some of the things that were going on. And

15:36

even his predecessor, they never really

15:38

knew what to do with Hitler and

15:40

with all the rise of power until

15:43

they explicitly turned against the Church

15:45

because they hated communists just as much

15:47

as.

15:47

Some of the German conservatives.

15:49

Anyway, there's a lot we could go into here, but the letter

15:51

itself fascinating stuff, and I guess

15:53

just proves really the point of David

15:56

Kurtzer's entire book, which is like, yeah, this is

15:58

a huge failure on their side. And a lot

16:00

of the justifications and stuff that they came up with really

16:02

just don't stand.

16:03

The test of time.

16:03

Yeah, they don't hold water.

16:07

I wanted to keep an eye on a very troubling trend

16:09

in the United States which we're all aware of, but which

16:11

the numbers are really stark.

16:13

Let's go and put this up there on the screen.

16:15

A new analysis from the CDC of

16:17

death certificates over the last

16:19

twenty years shows that obesity is

16:21

a factor and cardiac debts has

16:23

tripled over the last twenty years.

16:26

So there were two hundred and eighty one thousand deaths

16:28

from heart disease linked to obesity in the

16:30

last twenty years. The death rate has tripled

16:33

from two point two deaths per one hundred thousand to

16:35

six point six per one hundred thousand

16:37

in the database which are linked to obesity,

16:40

and the increase in obesity related debts

16:43

has with the steady decline actually

16:45

of heart disease overall. So the

16:47

reason why this is troubling is that overall

16:49

deaths from heart disease are actually down

16:52

by eighteen percent, but obesity related

16:54

heart disease is up by twenty So

16:57

as obesity continues to be a factor, the

16:59

advance in medicine and statins

17:01

and all this other stuff that we're used in non obese

17:04

cases of heart disease are still

17:06

going to continue to be a problem. They

17:08

also show that obesity currently

17:11

is, and this is stunning, one

17:14

hundred and fifteen million

17:16

people in the United States are

17:18

now, as they put it, affected

17:20

by OBEs or classified OBEs themselves,

17:23

forty two percent of adults. But

17:25

the worst part, and this is always the one that kills me, twenty

17:28

percent of children now according to

17:30

the CDC. And the issue with

17:33

that figure is that that is just obese,

17:35

that's not even just bmi overweight.

17:37

And then if you really dig into it, a

17:39

stunning like eight percent or so are

17:42

like forty or fifty bmi like incredibly

17:46

overweight relative to where they

17:48

should be. And the issue with that is that leads to

17:50

all kinds of insane conditions like type two

17:52

diabetes with small children or children,

17:55

teenagers and others. I mean, that's just a

17:57

lifetime of suffering and it will shorten your

17:59

life span.

18:00

Your health span is a disaster.

18:02

So there's a lot, you know, there's a lot of issues that

18:04

are happening here, and the overall health

18:07

impact is so stunning

18:09

and so immense. I saw a recent chart actually

18:12

that debts related to sugar and or

18:14

obesity outstrip any drug

18:16

in the history of the United States. If

18:19

you classify sugar as

18:21

an actual drug, which I mean, you know, there's

18:24

a good case to be made. Like we talk

18:26

all about alcohol related debts, ventanyl related

18:28

debts and all this wipes every single one of those,

18:30

you know, out of the water. I mean, it's just because it's

18:32

more I guess societally accepted. All right, we don't

18:34

think of it that way. I mean probably should.

18:36

There's when you see statistics

18:38

like this, like I saw a map recently that

18:41

showed the obesity rates by every

18:43

state, and if you go back to the nineties

18:46

and look at the same map, the state

18:48

in the nineties that had the highest obesity

18:51

rate now is actually a lower

18:53

than the state now that has the

18:55

lowest obesity rate. Like that, things have

18:57

shifted so much dramatically over time, and

19:00

when you look at those sort of society wide

19:02

numbers, you realize there are big

19:05

picture, systemic things happening

19:07

here that are so much, so much further

19:09

beyond just obviously people have agency

19:12

and I don't want to tell anybody they can't improve their

19:14

lives and make their situation better. But I

19:16

also think people need to cut themselves some slack.

19:18

That this is a massive

19:20

society wide trend that is driven by

19:23

some huge factors. I mean, obviously

19:25

like big AG, big food, the way we've been

19:27

like systematically lied to thanks

19:29

to the corrupting influence of big

19:32

companies in terms of what actual

19:34

nutritional guidance should look like and

19:36

what is actually good for us and what is not good for

19:38

us. I mean, the sugar lobby has been and big

19:40

soda has been a tremendously negative

19:42

impact in our society. And by

19:44

the way, the Washington Post also had an article about

19:47

how many of these so called dietitians are

19:49

now paid by the food industry

19:52

to go on TikTok, to go on Instagram,

19:54

etc. And promote things that again

19:56

are just like flat out lies and further

19:58

confused people how even to make

20:01

good choices for themselves and

20:03

for their kids. So there's a lot going on here.

20:06

I wanted to ask you, Sager, if you think that ozempic

20:08

can be any sort of a realistic like

20:11

improvement. It's a very kind, let

20:13

alone solution, but it can be an improvement.

20:16

I know doctors who are on one side. I

20:18

know doctors who are on the other side. I personally,

20:21

here's my belief. I do not believe

20:24

that there can be a quote unquote medical cure

20:26

to such as systemic problem. I don't believe in magic

20:28

solutions. I don't believe in magic pills.

20:30

And I think there's always a catch. Now, maybe the catch is better

20:32

than the alternative. So for example, people are like

20:34

improvement, yeah, right, So people who are like, well, I

20:37

took it and then when I went off of it, I gained

20:39

my weight backs, and that means I have to stay on it forever.

20:41

And you know, I mean that sounds very profitable for

20:43

Novo no artisks or whatever who's the manufacturer.

20:46

So I used to start to get skeptical. There's been

20:48

previous also reports about like muscle mass

20:50

loss and also by people who use ozembit,

20:53

but that could also be biased to the population who wants

20:55

to, you know, lose a little bit of weight and gain some

20:57

muscle. We're not talking about the morbidly obese.

20:59

I you genuinely don't know. I think there needs to be

21:02

a lot of study.

21:02

But like I said, I am just skeptical of some

21:05

sort of like one size fits all pills

21:07

solution that you have to take on a consistent

21:09

basis. Side effects can be numerous,

21:12

you know, there's lots of stuff about and just in

21:14

general, like slowing down your gut. When

21:16

you tell me that and that's the solution, I'm

21:19

just like, I don't know, man, Like, I don't know

21:21

how.

21:22

Exactly this all works out.

21:23

However, that could be better than

21:26

being morbidly obese and being seven hundred

21:28

pounds, so, you know, maybe that is an answer.

21:30

I think it's probably a case by case basis

21:33

that people can make.

21:34

Especially for people who are morbidly morbidly

21:36

obese, I think that is so horrifically

21:38

bad for you that getting out of that is, you

21:40

know, is the most imperative

21:42

thing that you can do for your health. The question then

21:44

comes for people who are like on the edge, who are

21:47

overweight and or on the obesity

21:49

line, like what's the best way to get there.

21:51

I'm still a big believer in the tools.

21:53

Like mother nature gave us, which is diet,

21:55

exercise, and it's just very incredibly,

21:58

incredibly hard even for people who are just blend,

22:00

people who have money, will power and all that

22:02

the modern environment is not set up for you

22:04

to sucty eight, and I just I don't know what

22:06

the I mean. We've talked about this. It's

22:09

like when you want to walk ten thousand steps. Yeah,

22:12

if you have any semblance of a desk job, it

22:14

sucks. Like you'll be like it's like six

22:17

pm, You're like, Okay, I got to go for

22:19

a one hour and fifteen minute walk today.

22:21

Yeah, or carving out moment

22:23

in your day.

22:24

And I've been trying to burn like five hundred calories

22:26

of cardio per day on top of any resist.

22:28

It takes me like an hour and a half. Maybe

22:31

I'm just slow, maybe, but it's also.

22:32

I mean in other countries that

22:35

have rely more on walking

22:37

public transportation, like when I lived in New

22:40

York City, absolutely it was built in I walk to work

22:42

every day. It was roughly like you know,

22:44

a little over a mile in each

22:46

direction. And so just like built into my day

22:48

is at least three miles of walking without

22:51

ever going to the gym. And so when

22:53

so much of are like the

22:55

way our cities and towns are constructed is

22:58

just about you know, getting in the car and yeah,

23:00

there's no there's like basically zero

23:03

physical activity built into the average

23:05

Americans day. That's one thing.

23:07

Then you know you have all of the We

23:10

subsidize things like corn. That's

23:12

why there's like every type of corn

23:14

in your food every day, high fruit shows corn

23:17

syrup and whatever. We subsidize

23:19

things that are unhealthy. We make junk food

23:21

like the cheek food that you can possibly

23:24

buy, and then we turn around and wonder

23:26

like, oh, why why do we have these skyrocketing

23:28

obesity And.

23:29

Then evening, you know, even things like

23:31

rice, it's like, well, you can make the rice, you can

23:33

soak the rice, you can put it in the rice kicker, or you

23:35

can buy that Uncle Ben's five minute rice. It sounds

23:38

pretty nice. It's but it's super processed. And it's

23:40

like, well, if you're busy, what are you going to do? I have so

23:42

total sympathy, you know, I see moms and stuff at the grocery

23:44

store. If we've got like three screaming children, I'm

23:46

like listen, you know for you.

23:47

Like that is another

23:49

thing, isn't it?

23:50

Like the amount of hours that we work, how

23:52

stretched people are having to work two and three

23:54

jobs? Like you think you have time to cook some like

23:57

perfect healthful meal, even

23:59

if you could afford the ingredients that would

24:01

entail, and we make it impossible for people to

24:03

succeed, and then we only look

24:06

at like the individual part, which

24:08

again and blame them, which again, Listen. I

24:10

don't ever want to take away from people the

24:13

agency who improve their

24:15

life to make changes that are going to

24:17

help them in whatever they're going through. But

24:20

when you only are focused on the

24:22

like you know, pull yourself up by the bootstraps

24:24

conversation, and you're not looking at these overall

24:26

trends, I think that can be very dishonest,

24:28

and I think it can also end up being extremely

24:31

unhelpful for the people that most

24:33

need that assistance.

24:34

Totally agree.

24:38

Pew Research Center survey finds

24:40

that everybody thinks everything sucks.

24:42

Yes, and for more details on that. Basically,

24:45

the breaking news is that Americans

24:47

have correctly assessed the state of America.

24:49

Yes, so this is a new research

24:52

from PU We can put the element up on the screen

24:54

where majorities of Americans say the political

24:56

process is dominated by special interests,

24:59

flooded with campaign cash, admirred and

25:01

partisan warfare. Elected officials,

25:03

Peugh goes on to say, are widely viewed

25:05

as self serving and

25:07

as ineffective. And

25:10

Pew says that actually, this study

25:13

finds quote no single focal point

25:15

for the public's dissatisfaction. There's

25:17

widespread criticism of the three branches

25:19

of government, both political parties as well as

25:22

political leaders and candidates

25:24

for office. Now this is they

25:27

say, coming amid historically high

25:29

levels of voter turnout in national elections.

25:31

So they find that contrast to

25:33

be somewhat interesting. I think it's worth noting

25:36

some specific results here. Just four percent of

25:38

US adults say the political system is working

25:40

extremely well or very

25:42

well.

25:43

Four percent.

25:44

That's not just among people who say extremely well.

25:46

That's extremely well and very

25:48

well. Another twenty

25:50

three percent say it is working somewhat

25:52

well. About six and ten say

25:55

they have not too much confidence or

25:57

no confidence at all in

25:59

the future of the US political system.

26:02

Pew says positive views of many governmental

26:04

and political institutions are at historic lows.

26:06

Just sixteen percent of the public will say they

26:08

trust the federal government always or

26:10

most of the time. That's even including

26:12

people who say most of the time. Again, usually

26:15

you can see numbers like that for people saying, oh, I always

26:17

trust this or that, But you're concluding

26:20

both of those views. That's extremely

26:24

bad for America. Obviously, it

26:26

goes without saying. Now, while trust has

26:28

hovered near historic lows Pew says for the better

26:30

part of the last twenty years, today it stands among

26:32

the lowest levels dating back nearly seven

26:35

decades, and more Americans have an unfavorable

26:38

than favorable opinion of the Supreme Court.

26:40

That's the first time this has occurred in polling going

26:42

back to late nineteen eighties.

26:44

A growing share of the public dislikes both political

26:47

parties. Nearly three and ten express unfavorable

26:49

views of both parties, the highest

26:51

share in three decades of polling,

26:53

and a comparable share of adults do not feel

26:56

very represented by either party,

26:58

and candidate choices are under wellming. Sixty three

27:00

percent of Americans say they're dissatisfied with

27:03

the presidential candidates that have emerged

27:05

so far. Now, I was

27:07

actually going to make that point too, in that we have

27:10

a leading candidate

27:12

for the Republican nomination that is

27:15

not participating in the debate so far,

27:18

and we also have a president that

27:20

is currently the sitting president of the US

27:23

who is not debating despite actually

27:25

the majority of his party. It's not, of course, it's

27:28

normal for the president not to

27:30

engage in the debates during the

27:32

primary process, but his voters

27:35

are on the side of wanting him to debate. Most

27:37

of his own voters think he's too old to

27:40

be in elected office right

27:42

now. So you have even among the

27:44

party voters for the two main political

27:46

parties right now, dissatisfaction

27:49

with the leading candidates, both of those leading

27:51

candidates clinging to their power. And

27:54

this is as you have six and

27:56

ten Americans saying they have not too much

27:58

or no confidence at all the future of the US

28:01

right. We see numbers like this all of the

28:03

time. It's no real

28:05

surprise. You're always going to have some level

28:08

of distrust high with

28:10

some institutions. You're not always going to

28:12

have perfect trust across all institutions.

28:15

But man, these numbers are steep.

28:18

They're really bad.

28:19

And there are contradictions within these numbers

28:22

and within the views that people

28:24

are holding that can't be worked out by the political

28:26

system necessarily, and one of them being that

28:29

essentially a number one thing that people say, besides

28:31

complaints about politicians, that

28:34

people say to Pew here is

28:37

that they don't like the way that partisan

28:39

that the way that things have become so partisan that

28:42

they think that Democrats and Republicans care

28:45

more about fighting each other than they care about solving

28:48

the problems of the country. Like massive

28:50

numbers of people agree with that obviously

28:52

true statement. At the same time,

28:55

they also and other Pew surveys and somewhat

28:58

in this one express

29:00

their deeply, deeply negative views

29:02

about the other party. So

29:06

they are expressing the very

29:08

thing that they

29:10

think in aggregate is bad.

29:13

But that's and that's why it can't be worked

29:15

out because while everybody

29:18

agrees what the problems are, people

29:21

disagree on what the solutions are.

29:23

Like everybody agrees that, you know,

29:25

the two.

29:26

Party system stinks, but

29:28

nobody agreed nobody certainly the parties

29:30

are not going to agree to dissolve

29:33

themselves and allowing new

29:35

parties or a multi party system, nor

29:37

would there even be a mechanic for that outside

29:39

of like a constitutional convention. And then everybody

29:42

agrees that, uh, partisanship

29:44

is the problem, but they will say that it's

29:46

the other side that

29:48

just needs to go away and stop, you

29:51

know, being in the way of things.

29:52

Well, and this, by the way, is why the whole

29:55

mansion no Labels movement that John

29:58

Huntsmen are resolve

30:00

that contradiction at all, right, and

30:02

it actually is, it's the exact opposite.

30:04

Read So they look at polls like this, and by the way,

30:07

P did a word bubble of American's top description

30:09

in the current state of politics. Biggest word

30:11

is divisive. But then the second biggest word

30:13

is corrupt, messy,

30:16

bad, polarized, chaos, dysfunctional,

30:19

crazy. One of them is just shit.

30:22

Wh it'sp blurped out.

30:24

But like, they look at this and they say,

30:26

oh, big opening for the no

30:28

label's movement to the point where they're seriously flirting

30:31

with a third party presidential bid. And

30:34

they really are.

30:35

But what right, What they're forgetting is two

30:37

things. One, lots of people who are

30:39

independence and don't like one of other

30:42

parties, disagree with each other. You've got

30:44

right wing independence, you got left wing independence, and

30:46

then you got independence who are kind

30:48

of all.

30:49

Over the place.

30:50

And then you have independence who are kind of checked

30:52

out and they're like sort of pay attention to the news,

30:54

sort of sort of don't might show up for the election,

30:56

might not. And to say that all forty percent

30:59

of those people like would then

31:01

support Joe Manchin through

31:03

no labels is absurd and

31:05

then your point about the

31:08

corruption and money in politics is key,

31:10

because No Labels is funded by dark

31:13

money, like private equity goons,

31:16

people who own baseball stadiums, like

31:18

secretly writing checks to get this

31:21

party, this non party, No Labels

31:23

party on the ballot

31:25

in fifty states. Who

31:28

for what purpose? Who knows

31:30

why, who's to benefit, who's

31:32

funding it? And so the idea that

31:34

you would approach a population

31:37

that is saying it's one of its top

31:39

concerns is the corruption of politics by

31:41

by big moneyed interests, then you'd

31:43

come at them with seventy million

31:45

dollars in dark money supporting

31:48

Joe Manchin and Larry Hogan and Lisa Murkowski

31:50

or whatever, and that they're going to and that everybody

31:53

from the socialist left to the libertarian

31:56

right who are registered as independents are

31:58

going to like flock behind that. It's like give

32:01

that money back, you're stealing it from them, but actually it should

32:03

all be confiscated.

32:05

They don't want that, I mean nobody, absolutely

32:07

nobody wants that. And when compromises

32:09

are brokered in Washington, it's by industry,

32:12

it's by lobbyists. And so if you're ever

32:14

hearing Joe Manchin say, there's like the problem

32:17

solver Caucus.

32:17

Yeah right, it's a no labels product.

32:19

Oh yeah, yeah, And they have like it's

32:21

it's all just like established from politicians

32:24

that are so close to the center on the right

32:26

and the left that they can sit in a room together. It's

32:28

not bringing you know, Matt Gates together

32:30

with Alexandria Casio Cortes and

32:33

some centrist Josh Gottheimer.

32:35

Right, if you can do.

32:36

That, then talk to us. But you actually,

32:39

what you want to do is relegate both

32:41

of the populist wings to the fringes right

32:43

further, and you want the sort of adults

32:46

in the room is what they like to call themselves to take

32:48

over.

32:49

That was the explicit mandate

32:51

of no labels. No Labels launched after

32:54

the Tea Party wave and then

32:56

surged, surged as

32:58

like as you know, it's fifty people give a lot

33:00

of money after Bernie

33:02

Sanders, and so their argument was the Tea Party

33:04

is bad, Bernie Sanders is bad.

33:07

You know, let's let's build a wall of money

33:10

and keep these angry people out. Yeah

33:13

yeah, and they think that that that's

33:15

the solution to the crisis.

33:17

Nugget.

33:17

Yeah, it's amazing, but it's also amazing

33:19

to me that you can have this level.

33:21

It's like when.

33:22

People say they lament

33:24

the level of trust in media, a lot of journalists

33:27

all the time will be like frothing. They're

33:29

very upset because trust in media is low.

33:31

And for me, I'm like Lois, I'm like, oh,

33:33

thank god, Like these numbers are

33:36

low, because genuinely, if numbers

33:38

and trust in media were high right now,

33:40

and they've been higher than they should be in the past,

33:43

but like people have caught on to the media's

33:45

corruption and lies, that's a good

33:47

thing. It's bad for the

33:49

country that we

33:52

can't trust the media, but it's good that we recognize

33:54

we can't trust the media because then you

33:56

can sort of look to different sources and you can make

33:59

decisions in it in a different way.

34:01

But then, but then some of.

34:02

Those sources have their own agendas

34:05

and are then just feeling a vacuum,

34:07

and we're just manipulating people themselves.

34:10

This is this is all a thinly

34:12

veiled Oh I don't know. I think you

34:14

do a pretty good job failing it, Ryan, This is all a

34:17

veiled advertisement for Ryan's new

34:19

mushroom company, Psychedelic

34:22

Company, is all he will

34:25

phone trust.

34:26

There's no realities. You might as well just enjoy

34:28

these much.

34:29

And then he steps into the vacuum and sells

34:32

you psychedelic.

34:34

Right.

34:35

But in all seriousness, there's no answer

34:37

to this. I mean, that's like, that's probably the biggest problem.

34:40

The answer is either no labels or.

34:43

I think this wave

34:45

might be cresting, I think, and that maybe

34:47

we can't see it because Trump is still around.

34:51

And he's going to be around for a very long time.

34:53

But I feel like, at least on the democratic side,

34:56

there's a lot of people are checking

34:58

out, like you've seen st worries

35:00

about big Democratic

35:02

donors and small democratic donors

35:05

are stepping back in a

35:07

big way from and I think that part

35:09

of that is this wave

35:11

that we saw from twenty seven sixteen

35:13

seventeen, with Trump coming in and

35:16

everybody everybody

35:18

experiencing politics as this like minute

35:21

to minute phenomenon is

35:23

unsustainable, and I think people

35:25

gradually are kind of pulling back from

35:28

it, though they will

35:30

return through twenty twenty four as

35:32

Trump, you know, exerts

35:35

his gravitational force on our

35:37

political field. But I

35:39

think that that's obviously that is

35:41

temporary, and

35:44

I think it's possible that

35:46

we're seeing a fading on the right,

35:49

though, Are you seeing a

35:51

decoupling a little bit for the connection or.

35:53

People just as frothing at

35:55

the mouth as they always were.

35:56

No. I think it's a huge problem on the right because

35:59

it's so specifically attached to Donald Trump,

36:01

and the Trump factor looms over absolutely

36:03

every other conversation. So if you want

36:05

to have a same conversation that would appeal

36:07

to the average voter about weaponization of the Department

36:10

of Justice, you're going to have to be litigating

36:12

these completely thorny cases against

36:14

Donald Trump, where some of them it's like, Okay,

36:16

did he do something wrong?

36:18

Yes?

36:18

Would they be bringing charges against Biden

36:20

if he did this? Probably not, And

36:22

it gets tangled up in these kind of

36:24

meta discussions instead of the central discussions.

36:27

And so that means the entire sort

36:29

of populist movement is specifically

36:31

tied to one man, and that one man

36:33

happens to be very unpopular outside

36:35

of this sort of Trump base. He

36:38

might be something that people tolerate and will vote for

36:40

if their other train is Joe Biden or Hillary

36:42

Clinton, but sort of in a broad sense,

36:44

he's not like a popular you know,

36:47

someone who's going to like build bridges

36:49

between this wide

36:51

swath of voters and left and the right. He's

36:54

pretty unpopular and if you look at his numbers, and

36:57

that's a big problem because it means Republicans

36:59

who are trying to broaden the base

37:02

and are trying to let some populism in

37:04

the door have to contend with

37:06

that, and that makes the populism

37:08

unpopular.

37:10

Yeah, in the short version of the few

37:12

survey rails, nobody likes this, but

37:14

this is what we got.

37:15

We're going to keep modeling forward.

37:17

We're going to keep you exactly all right.

37:19

To stick around for more modeling.

37:23

You know, it's funny you wouldn't tell an

37:25

employer that you plan to put in so little

37:28

effort that if you put in any less effort,

37:30

it would be illegal. And yet that is

37:32

exactly what minimum wage is. And

37:35

is it possible to live anywhere

37:38

on a US's minimum wage and not

37:40

just subsists, not just barely

37:42

scrape by, but experience some level

37:45

of comfort because the origin of the

37:47

minimum wage in the US is a

37:49

commitment to the idea that if you're

37:51

working full time, you shouldn't have

37:53

to experience poverty. You work

37:55

forty hours a week, whatever, you're doing developing

37:58

software or working on as semay line

38:00

or behind a deep fryer. You should be

38:02

able to relax after work and

38:05

not worry about whether or not you have enough

38:07

money to both pay rent and

38:09

eat.

38:10

In the late eighteen hundred.

38:11

Sweatshops were a big issue in the US,

38:14

and one way of combating this was to institute

38:16

a minimum wage.

38:18

In nineteen thirty eight. This was

38:20

set at twenty five cents.

38:22

When FDR was pushing for this legislation,

38:24

he called it a living wage, saying

38:27

that no business which depends

38:29

for existence on paying less than

38:31

living wages to its workers.

38:33

Has any right to continue in this country.

38:36

And he meant every.

38:38

Single business and every single worker.

38:40

And he went out of his way to clarify living

38:42

wage as a decent wage.

38:44

And this was when he was pushing for a

38:47

minimum wage. So I think it's safe

38:49

to say that a minimum wage was

38:51

meant to be a decent page,

38:54

fair day's work for a fair day's wage.

38:56

So, now that I've said wage too many

38:58

times, where do you have to go to

39:01

live on the US federal minimum

39:03

wage?

39:10

Okay?

39:10

So I'm in New York and here minimum wage

39:13

is fifteen dollars an hour. If you're

39:15

working forty hours a week, you

39:17

are going to be left with about eighteen hundred

39:19

dollars a month after taxes. Well,

39:22

if you should spend roughly a third of your income

39:24

on rent, that's six hundred dollars a

39:26

month, which is insane. Here,

39:29

let's see what that gets you. Nothing,

39:32

which is why New Yorkers spend more like two

39:34

thirds of their income on rent. So what

39:37

can we get for less than twelve hundred dollars?

39:40

Two apartments in the entire city under twelve

39:42

hundred at least on this site. But one thousand

39:44

dollars for an apartment is really good. So

39:46

one thousand dollars plus a subway

39:48

tasks, three hundred dollars on food,

39:51

two hundred and four electric, gas, internet,

39:53

and your phone.

39:54

It's gonna be really tough.

39:57

Even if you find a roommate situation where you can save

39:59

a few hundred dollars on you're not

40:01

going to have much leftover at the end of the month to

40:03

get drinks with friends or see a movie.

40:05

Obviously a child is

40:08

going to.

40:08

Be way over the budget. Definitely

40:10

don't do that. But you know what, in

40:12

New York that's one of the most expensive

40:14

places in the world. There

40:17

are places in the US, I'm sure

40:19

with a way lower cost of living. So

40:22

where could you live? According

40:25

to the Bureau of Economic Analysis,

40:28

Arkansas has the lowest cost

40:30

of living. Median rent for

40:32

a studio apartment is five hundred

40:34

and twenty eight dollars.

40:35

Eight hundred and.

40:36

Sixty dollars is what the average person

40:38

spends on their car and transportation,

40:41

two hundred and fifty dollars for food, two

40:43

hundred and four electric gas, internet.

40:45

And your phone.

40:46

If you can delete the car because

40:49

you just happen to live near some public transit that

40:52

may actually be really cheap. Let's say

40:54

you are so lucky and you

40:56

never have to stay at work until nine

40:58

or ten after the.

40:59

Bus stopped running.

41:01

Well, hey, you could be doing worse, and

41:03

it just so happens that a living wage in

41:05

Arkansas is fifteen dollars and twenty

41:08

five cents, not too far

41:10

off. One problem, though, Arkansas's

41:13

minimum wage is not fifteen dollars an

41:15

hour.

41:15

It's eleven.

41:17

But you know what, you're still doing

41:19

a lot better than all these states

41:22

that are making seven to twenty five an

41:24

hour. Now, as it turns

41:26

out, only about two percent

41:28

of the workforce make exactly

41:31

minimum wage. But

41:33

that's one point six million people. And yes,

41:35

some of them are teenagers, but

41:38

most of them are not. And

41:40

these are only the people making exactly

41:43

federal minimum wage. There are a lot

41:45

more people making seven fifty seven

41:47

to seventy five eight nine dollars an hour.

41:50

About fourteen percent of all

41:52

US workers make fifteen

41:54

dollars an hour or less. That's

41:57

nineteen million people on average.

42:00

For the United States.

42:01

If this is the poverty threshold,

42:04

and this is a living wage, this

42:07

is minimum wage. If you're splitting

42:09

the rent with someone, it gets easier. But

42:11

as soon as you add a couple kids to that, the

42:13

gap between you and poverty gets a

42:15

little smaller, and the gap between

42:18

you and comfort gets a lot

42:20

bigger. So where can

42:23

you live on seven to twenty five?

42:26

Well, Belgium has a lower cost of

42:28

living. Maybe you could move to Belgium. Belgium's

42:30

poverty line is one three

42:33

hundred and sixty six euros for a

42:35

single person. The work week there

42:37

is thirty eight hours, and the minimum

42:40

wage before taxes is one nine

42:42

hundred and fifty five euros. For

42:45

some reason, you move to Belgium and you're working

42:47

remotely from the US making the US

42:49

minimum wage a scenario I can't

42:51

imagine exists outside of this video, but that's

42:53

the game we're playing. At seven twenty five

42:55

an hour, it would take almost seventy

42:57

two hours a week to make the

43:00

Belgium's minimum wage, So.

43:02

Belgium is out.

43:03

The UK also has a lower cost of

43:05

living. Again, why are you working remote

43:07

from England making an American's minimum wage?

43:09

That makes no sense.

43:11

Evidently, a living wage in the UK

43:14

is ten pounds ninety The

43:16

minimum wage there is ten forty

43:19

two, so they're lagging behind

43:21

a little bit as well. And in pounds,

43:23

the US federal minimum wage comes

43:25

to five eighty

43:27

five, which is apparently the minimum

43:29

wage for sixteen year olds there.

43:32

Not doing so great. Uruguay

43:35

is pretty affordable.

43:36

Looks like you can live for as little as

43:38

fourteen thousand US dollars

43:41

there, and as far as I can tell, they

43:43

won't charge taxes on income

43:45

that is earned outside the country, but

43:47

you do still have to pay American taxes

43:50

on that money earned, so that's too much

43:52

for US as well. It goes

43:54

without saying it's almost impossible

43:56

to buy a house when you're making minimum wage

43:59

it's only the rarest of circumstances

44:01

that will allow you to pull this off.

44:03

But this didn't have to be the case.

44:06

Economist Dean Baker explains that until

44:09

nineteen sixty eight, the minimum wage not only

44:11

kept pace with inflation, it rose in step

44:13

with productivity growth, which, according

44:15

to him, would place minimum wage at

44:18

more like twenty four dollars an hour,

44:20

which would make it way more possible

44:22

for a couple each earning minimum

44:25

wage to actually buy a home.

44:27

Clearly, that is not the timeline

44:30

we're living in, Okay,

44:32

So moving down the cost of living list by

44:34

country, you can live in Taiwan for

44:36

eleven hundred dollars a month, but again

44:39

seven to twenty five take home is more like nine

44:41

to fifty a month.

44:43

Cuba cost of living is nine to ninety

44:45

five. Getting closer.

44:46

Continuing down the list, the first

44:49

place that we find that's under nine

44:51

to fifty a month take home is

44:55

Jordan. The cost of

44:57

living for a single person with an apartment

44:59

outside out of a city center is apparently

45:02

nine hundred and twenty dollars a month. Some

45:05

cursory and lazy research

45:07

has confirmed this, the point

45:09

being if you make seven

45:11

dollars and twenty five cents an hour. There

45:14

are places you can go where it will

45:16

be a decent living. Those

45:18

places just are in America. Also,

45:21

it will be thousands of dollars for you to actually move

45:23

to those places, So you're definitely trapped here no matter

45:25

what. Fortunately, there is

45:27

progress being made, in no small

45:29

part to groups like five for fifteen states

45:32

have individually raised their minimum wage

45:34

and brought more and more people into

45:37

a higher standard of living. As far

45:39

as what's going on federally right now, the Republicans

45:41

have a bill that would raise the minimum wage to

45:44

eleven dollars an hour, which clearly

45:46

isn't enough, and it's only for people

45:48

who can prove citizenship, which

45:50

means it will exclude the probably

45:53

five million undocumented workers

45:55

in the US. But you know what, if you're

45:57

not slipping poison pills and needless cruelty

45:59

into the bills you're authoring, that

46:02

takes the whole sport.

46:03

Out of legislating, right.

46:04

But a much better bill was

46:06

introduced this summer in the Raise

46:09

the Wage Act of twenty twenty three,

46:11

which would bring the federal minimum wage

46:13

to seventeen dollars an hour by twenty

46:15

twenty eight, which is much closer to what we

46:18

actually need in this country, and

46:20

that will do it for me. I hope you found this video
