Lamar odom as father blames his sons trouble on the kardashian these people say they cannot find work. This woman works for the Welfare Office. Which should be done about that . I dont really know. They will get a job. John selling victim died. That is our show tonight. Spherejohn are you a victim . Won 19 emmys. Solar powered clothes dryer, just 50 bucks. What did they get in the mail . A clothesline. This machine supposedly used chemical sprays to make people feel younger. Or you could use this device. Will step. Of ugly facial fat. John its my job. I should warn you about scams. Nothing wrong with consumer reporting. The media always goes overboard. And in 2020 we did. Coffee makers may have started dozens of fires. John stossel with the facts you ould know, brewing disaster. John did you happen to catch this socalled this story . Investigative reporter went undercover to see firsthand how this underground world works. Eight peoples sharing a meal in a strangers home. Blended best and dinner parties like these have become more common. Insiders tell us they are completely unregulated. John oh, my goodness. Unregulated dinner parties. Gavin mcinnes is a media critic ann columnist. He hates this kind of hide and writes about it. What gets in their heads . Out of touch with the average american and think that they need to get in there and regulated all. I feel like they have never built the business, a liberal arts degree, a journalism degree, dont run the numbers. John that is a good point. Anybody u. S. Tried to build something, a building or a business, they wake up to regulation. Reporters, most have never built anything. I notice they took the comments section down from the web page at that news station. You called the reporter up and gave her some heat, i hope. She said she seemed dubious. With my questions she returned more questions. John you would not answer the question. She wanted to know what my ankle was a wire was asking questions. One thing i find a lot of these reporters are scared of is being exposed. Theyre like politicians. When you stick their face a per call at the name theyre less likely to go on these witch hunts john well, undercover cameras. One of the more famous ones, Julia Roberts won an oscar portraying the hero, aaron brockovich. Very harmful. It kills people. Oh, yeah. A dream about being a will to watch their kids women a pool without worrying it will have to have a hysterectomy at the age of 20. John this was about a chemical leaked from a California Power plant that was supposedly causing cancer. But it turned out it probably wasnt causing cancer. The california cancer registry studied cancer rates in that area and found no cancer in excess. It i mean people fell for this because it is intuitive that think that being near a power plan is probably bad. Being stressed must lead to cancer. When you talk to experts in the field they go, really, smoking is the only thing you can do to change your genetic makeup. If youre going to have cancer you, youre going to have cancer. Otherwise, live for everyone and it as dressed as you want. John lawyers made a hundred Million Dollars despite no evidence. I give their real Erin Brockovich some credit after she and her lawyer boss were criticized calling me a corporate shell. I invited her on the program and she came. John californians have to pay more for electricity to pay off all of these lawyers. It looks like this camp. Is definitely not a scam. I have to tell you, in this instance with the southern gas and electric and being part of it from the process from the beginning to the end, it was a willful egregious intentional contract contact. They knew that that chemical was a poison. John the chemical is a poison, but for the record a steady at 50,000 people who worked at the power plant and were exposed more and were healthier than average. So the media cells that, lawyers get rich, everyone pays more for electricity. Chlorine is a poison and we swam in it all the time. Its great. I love boys and. John you wrote recently about the myth america pageant. What is that about . What is happening in media these days is they have become storytellers. They find a villain and said that this princess in the castle story and then work backwards and get the evidence from there. The evidence is really there, so they started relying on twitter to prove the theories. With the ms. America pageant it found a bunch of teams to set things like she looks like a terrorist. Twitter is the same place where people say this house is not zombieproof, but we are listening to opinions. John there was actual backlash. They have some fact. Some kids, 14yearold spirit take there followers. There was no backlash. It fits their narrative. A crowbar it and. John a sample, the media freak out. The new winner is facing a fierce backlash. Some people calling her a foreigner, an arab, even a terrorist. Coming facetoface with racism. Racist comments bacchante began flooding the internet. 1 began tweeting, ms. America is a terrorist. John fierce backlash. I look at woman at that she has zero followers, little kid. If you look up i hateebabies you will find dozens of kids saying that. John twitter is full of rhetoric. What is the media do this . There are a million theories, but culpability is not sexy on tv. John irresponsible. Even though it is what made our culture great, it is to we are is a nascent nation. It makes people feel better to say it is not their fault, victim of circumstance. John one last example about media people wringing there hands about victims is that media concern about kids being vote bullies. This kind of bullying is on the rice, by one ount as many as one in three kids being victimized. Cyber bullying, a growing epidemic. John on the rise, a growing epidemic. I assume there was more bullying when i was a kid because nobody thought about it. I was bullied. I assumed it was just part of schools. Now at least there is awareness. I bet there is less. A former teacher jet a dire jedediah bila says this is an example of the media doing something right. 3 i like thii. I saw cases of bullying. John elementary school. Elementary, school, college. It is a real roblem. You have kids to not only have their grades suffer but contemplate the idea of hurting themselves. Stories and in his work is ultimately commit suicide. When it comes to legitimate cases a bullying the media and media personalities that have a platform can highlight cases and say, for example, there was a girl in queens. In may and read a story about a girl who did commit suicide as a result of bullying. It turned out that the administration was not doing proper followup and the parents to try to reach the administration to look into the problem. That is the kind of journalistic coverage that can help the issue in may because parents who ordinarily are not to sound into this issue to say, hold on. Let me ask mike to some key questions. Let me get to the school and make sure everything is okay. John what about the media always saying it is on the increase. They dont know. In some cases the media can create victims and label things as bullying and really serious that are not necessarily. But there are cases where it is serious, particularly now with the internet age where we have facebook and twitter and cyber bullying, schools have a responsibility. John and overweight tv anchor was praised by the media, got on the today show because after she got a letter from a viewer who said, you are a bad example for kids and should take care of herself, she complained about his bullying. There are children who dont know better, who did emails. As critical as the one i received more in many cases even worse, each and every day. The internet has become a weapon. John come on. She is a hero. The guy just said you should take care of yourself. This is an example of in my opinion hypersensitivity which is where the fine line comes in. This keeps happennng with all of these cases. Now, yes, it is a tragic thing that someone killed themselves, lets can pare that to a bees sting. How serious is this problem . Millions of kids. Lets quantify. John hundreds of americans are killed. Lets quantify the people who were not. When you bubble a child like that and put a protective layer and coddled them theyre not prepared for the real world. John now we have the internet, and anemone which lets people believe more. Inevitably when you are arguing with someone like this guy who called arafat and she is fat, by the way. John did not even call arafat, the wake. He should feel bad. Youre overweight. Sorry. There has to be a balance in terms of how we looked at this. John we are way beyond balance. Thankyou. If you would like to keep this conversation going, go to facebook and twitter and use that has tagged. Victimhood. Let people know what you think. Coming up. Cupcakes for sale. John i held the bake sale, a racist bake sale. That is not right. Ou got to be on your john also today, what does it mean to be poor in america . At tv. Television. John airconditioning . Yes,.

How did he not see that coming whats in your wallet . John 7. 205 per hour. That is the federal minimum wage. Could you live on that . Have you . What amount of pay is reasonable at what point is is so low that if you work for that you are a victim . People got bills. You know, child payment, car insurance, utilities. You know, that doesnt the minimum wage is not cats john there have been lots of protests around the country, mostly restaurant workers complaining about low pay. The protests have had an effect. California just passed a bill to raise the states minimum wage to 10 per hour. Most people around me i do live in manhattan c 10 is not enough, and the government must get in to guarantee those victims of greedy employers more money, a living wage. This, but he is president of the ayn rand institute, and we notice of this person ayn rand was. Hugest advocate selfishness . Im advocating that everyone should be self interested. There are many people out there who are interested in working for these rates. What happens when we set the minimum wage so high, 10 per hour or whenever it happens to be, 7. 25, what happens to those people who dont produce at 10 an hour or 7. 205 . What we create is a class of people who will never find a job. You why those people . Young, inexperienced, teenage, innercity youth who are now excluded completely from the work force and will never learn skills and get the experience necessary for making a hundred dollars an hour. John how are they excluded . Because if they can only produce 5 an hour, no one will employ thee at 10 per hour. No onn will lose on the employees that they hire. John and the restaurant lobbyists ran this ad. Minimum wage. Why robots could soon replace fast food workers demanding a gher minimum wage. We are actually seeing is. If you drive up the cost, what restaurants will do, they still need to make their profit, keep the price of their products cheap. They will replace people with technology. John mcdonalds response i thought was interesting. They came out with as simple budget, and a free comprehensive Money Management tool to providing an outline of what an individual budget may look like. They show that a person can work for minimum wage and still save 100 per month. However, it included working two jobs. It took a lot of heat for that. It is a little big brotherly for mcdonalds to tell its employees, heres what you can do. Look, people are living all over this country making this kind of money people came to this3 country with 100 years ago people lived on much less than this. They sent there kids and got an education and rose up. John people do around the world most people around the world live on much, much less. The government has no role in, you know, dictating john our government has decided it does. It sure has, and as a consequence you have seen youth unemployment in this country close to 20 . ted raise minimum wages, what you see is massive unemployment among those who can least afford it. John i think progress, every facet of this budget basically is unachievable. Many people achieve it. We all started somewhere. I make a lot of money today, but i started making less than minimum wage, foreign student, you know, working at graduate school making probably less than this. We managed. It is wrong to try to force people to pay a particular wage, to pay a particular form of income. This should be left for the marketplace. Let left to negotiations. John affair was the protesters, there is a spring in their step. [chanting] john they dont act like victims. I dont see any one of those people look like they were starving. We make it more expensive. We are doing is not just, you know, violating their rights and reducing profits in everything that has to do with economically , but also denying jobs to people who cannot afford to be denied jobs and create unemployment. John listen to this more serious protester who presents the victim message, and this persuades people. Some people work 80 hours a week and cannot make ends meet or have no time for anything else. All they do is work all week. John all they do is work all week. Nobody nobody knows anything. John dont we or it of the poor ssmething . No, we dont. John i feel i owe as an individual. Then you as an individual can help them out, but they are not asking for your help. Theyre not trying to negotiate a better salary. What they are asking is for the state to bring coercive power and force you to help them, force employers to help them. John thank you. Yaron brook. Coming up, our black people victims in america . Do i victimize them further if i run this race is to bake sale . We have different prices here. If you are asian, and dollar 50. If youre white, and dollar. If you are latino or black, 0. 50. Itss sile athis. At bny mellon, our business is investments. Managing them, moving them, making them work. We oversee 20 of thworlds financial assets. And that gives us scale and insighno one ee has.

A lot of things going on in my life and the last thing i wanto be thinking about is mdeures [ charlie ] trzinc free super ligrip. John if any people have the right to label themselves victims, it is american blacks. First we had slavery, then staterequired segregation, then continuing Racial Discrimination but the author of backlash offers that this focus on the past is terrible for blacks. Ca says they should stand up against destructive progressive tyrants to promote victimhood. Distractive progressive tyrants. Progressive policies are harming the black community, failing public schools, unemployment is over 13 , or 40 percent among young black individuals. John they are victims. Stands up to these present policies that are not working. And do not see them as victims. They are not victims. That is a narrative that the left uses all the time to promote their Big Government agenda. They dont want to promote liberty, personal responsibility. Vapor vote , a bigger governmt john you went to the naacp annual summit and heard a lot about victimhood. Throughout the entire meeting john every speech . What i heard when i was there was an as verses them mentality. Added not hear any solutions. I heard a lot of victimization, race cards. Voter i. D. Is racist, as verses them. If you are black you dont stand a chance. John at that same naacp conference where you are not allowed to speak should point out, al sharpton marked mocks people who say the election of president obama means that america is past racism. Those that were saying that never was profiled in a department store. Those that were saying at work never pulled over on the highway. John here is a point, of the black man is more likely to be pulled over on the highway, profiled. Racism is not prevalent across our country. There are 80 its out there may be racist, but clearly look at individuals and politics, business, sports, entertainment. Myself, and i implore all freedom of americans to stand u and push back on this narrative. Dont be afraid to be called a racist or a sellout, of the different names. If you believe in liberty and want to advance our country forward, i implore all americans to speak out. John the stock to let the killing of trade on martin. The president said this could have been my son. It could have been his son. He injected himself into this and made about a racial issue when, in fact, it had nothing to do with race. John we dont know that it had nothing to do about race. The fbi investigation concluded that. Zimmerman was not convicted. So clearly it was not about race. Unfortunately early on we had people who promoted it as our pop race. That is what domineered the headlines. John and a producer at nbc surprise, surprise clearly had black victimhood in line in mind when he edited the nine month one call. Heres the actual call. This guy looks like he is up to no good or something. It is raining. He is just Walking Around looking about. Okay. This guy, is the white, black, or hispanic . He looks black. John the editor took up the dispatcher asking, is the white, black, hispanic, was left just this. This guy looks like he is up to no good. He looks black. John look, and television, we always maybe he was just no, that was just very inappropriate and the wrong thing to do. Anything about race is emotional and it drives the headline. Eerly on with this case, this investigation, it was always about race when, in fact, it wasnt. John seventh blacks been victims in america . Years ago, john. Black individuals did not have access to education, housing, jobs. Times have changed, and we dont live in that era anymore. John lets talk about affirmative action, given americas history of discrimination, it seems reasonable to me that whites should try to make amends, tried to give a break to minorities grace that i had. What is wrong with that . Before you answer, lets bring in a white p
