Nothing wrong with consume reporting. E media always goes orboard. And in 2020 we did. Coffee makers may have started dozens of fires. John sssel 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 wld works. Eight peoples shang a meal in a strangers home. Blended best and dinner parties like tse have become more common. Insiders tell us they are completely unregulated. John oh, my goodness. Unregulatedinner parties. Gavin mcinnes is a media critic ann cumnist. He hates this kind of hid and writes about it. What gets in their heads . Out of touch with the average american andhinkhat they need to get in there and regulated all. I feel like they he never built the business, a liberal ts degree, a journalism degree, dont run the numbers. John hat is a good point. Anybody u. S. Tried to build something, a building or a business, they wake up to regulation. Reporters, most ve never built anything. I notice they took the comments section down from t web page at that news station. You called the reporter up and gave her some heat, i hope. E said she seemed dubious. With my questions she returned more questions. John you wold not answer the question. Sheanted to know what my ankle was aire was asking questions. One thing i find a lot of these reporters are scared ofs being exposed. Theyre like politicians. Wh you stick their face a per call at the name theyre less likely to on these witch hunts john well, undercover cameras. One of the moreams ones, Julia Roberts won an oscar portraying the hero, aaron brockovich. Very harmful. It lls 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 wasntausing cancer. The california cancer registry studied cancer rates in that ar and found no cancer in excess. It i mean peoplfell f this because it is intuitive that think that being near 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 oing to have cancer you, youre going to hav cancer. Otherwise, live for everyone and it asressed as you want. John lawyers made a hundred Million Dollars despite no evidence. I give teir real Erin Brockovich some credit after she and her lawyer boss were criticized calling me a corporate sll. I iited her on the program and she came. John californians have to p more for electricity to pay off all of these lawyers. Itooks like this camp. Is definitely not a scam i have to tell you, in this instance wit the southern g and electric and being part of it from the process from the ginning to the end, it was a willful egregis intentional contract contact. They knew that that chemical was aoison. 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,yers get rich, everyone pays more for electricity corine is a pson and we swam in it all the time. Its great. I love boys and. John you wrote recently about e myth america pageant. What is that about . What isappening 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 fm there. The evidence is rlly there, so they started relying on twitter to prove theheories. 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 are stening to opinions. John there was actual backlash. They hav some fact. Some kid 14yearold spirit take there followers. Ere was no backlash. It fits their narrative. A crowbar it and. John a sample, the media freak out. He new winner is facing a fierce backlash. Some people calling her a foreigner, an arab, en 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 lookp i hatebabies you will find dozens of kids saying at. John twitter is full of rhetoric. What is the medido this . Here are a million theories, but culpability is not syn tv. John irresponsible. Even though it is what made our culture great, its to we are is a nascent nation. It mes people feel better to say it i 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 vo bulli. This kind of bullying is on the rice, by one ount as many as one in three kids being victimized. Cer bullying, a gwing epidemic. John onhe 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 lst there is awareness. I t there is less. A former teacher jet a dire jedediah bila says thiss an something right. 3dia doing 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 grade suffer but contemplate the idea of hurng themselves. Stories and in his work is ultimately commit suicide. When it comes to legitimate cases a bullying the med 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 relt of bullying. It turned out that the administration was not doing properollowup and the parents to try to reach the administration to look intohe problem. That is the kind of journalistic coverage that can help the issue in may because parents who ordinarily are not to sound into th issue t say, hold on. Let me ask mike t some key quesons. Let me get to the school and make sure erything is okay. John what about the media always saying it is on the increase. They dont know. In some cases the media c 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 responsility. John and overweight tvnchor was praised by the media, g on the today show bause 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 betr, who did emai. As critical as the one i receivedore in many cas even worse, each and every day. The internet has bome a weapon. Jo come on. She is a hero. E g just said you should take care of yourself. This is an examp of in my hyh is where the fine line comes in. Thikeeps happennng with all of these cases. Now, yes, it is a tragi thing that someone killed themselves, lets can pare that to a bees sting. How serious is this problem . Millions of ks. Lets qntify. John hundreds of americans are kill. 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 anene which lets people believe more. Inevitably when you are arguing with someone likthis guy who called arafat and s is fat, by theay. 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. Hn 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 sal tt is not right. Ou goto be on your john also today, what does it mean to be poor in america . At tv. Television. John airconditioning . Yes,. John cablet yes,. Johnhow many channels . 101. John 7. 205 per hour. That is the federal minim 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 tt you are a victim . Eople 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 otests 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 governmen mu get ino guarantee those victims of greedy employers more money, a living wage. This, but he is president of the ayn rand ititute, and we notice of this person ayn rand was. Hugest advocate selfishness . Im advocating thatveryone should be self interested. There are many people out there who e interested in working for these rat. What happens when we set the minimu wage so high, 10 per hour or whenever it happens to be, 25, what happens to those people who dont produce at 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, innerci youth who are now excluded completely from the work force and will never learn skills a get the experience necessary for making a hundred dollars an hour. John how are they excluded . Because if they can only produc 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 restauran lobbyists ran this ad. Minimum wage. Why robots could soon replace fast food workers demanding a gher minimum wage. We are actually seeings. If y 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 peopleith technolo. John mcdonalds response i thought was interesting. They came out with asimple budget, and a free comprehensive ney management tool to providing an outline of what an individual budget may look like. They sw that a person can work for mimum wage and still save 100 per month. However, it included working two jobs. It took a lot of heat forhat. It is a little big brotherly for mcdonalds to tell its employee, heres at you can do. Lo, pele are living all over this country making this kind of money people came tohis3 country with 100 years ago people lived on mh less than this. They sent there kids a got an education and rose up. John people do around the world most people around the world live on much, much less. The governme 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 thisountry close to 20 . ted raise minimum wages, whatt you see is massive unemployment among those who can least affd 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, yo know, working at graduat school making probably lesthan this. We managed. It is wrongo try to force peop to pay a particular wage, to pay a particular form of income. This should be left for the marketplace. Let left to negegotiations. John affair was the protesters, there is a spring in their step. [chanting] john they dont act like victims. I don see any one of those people look like they were starving. We make it more expensive. We are doing i not just, you know, violating their rights and reducing pfits in everything that has to do with ecomically , but also denying jobs to people who cannot afford e denied jobs and create unemployment. John listen to this more seriou protester who presents the victim message, and this peuades 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. Jo all they do is work all week. Nobody nobody knows anything. John dont we or it of the poor ssmething . No, we dont. Jo i feel i owe as an individual. Then you as an individual can help them out, but they are not asking forour help. Theyre not trying to negotiate a better salary. What they are asking i f the stat to bring coercive power anforce yoto 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 bakeale . We have different prices here. If you a asianan, and dollar 50. If youre white, and dollar. If you are latino orlack, 0. 50. John if any peopleave the right to label themselves victims, it is american blacks. First we had slavery, then staterequired segregati, then continuing Racial Discrimination but the author of backlash offers that this focus on the past is terribl 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 amo young bck 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 tha the left uses all the time to promote their Big Government agenda. They dont wanto 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 vse them mtality. Added not hear anyolutions. 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 imore likely to be pulled over on the highway, profed. 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, entertament. Myself, and i implore all freedom of americans to stand u and push back on this narrative. Dont afraid to be called a racist or aelloutut, of the different nam. 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 tde on martin. The president said this could have been m son. It cld have been his son. He injected himself into this and made about a racial iue when, in fact, it had nothing to do with rac. John we dont know that it had nothing to do about race. He fbi investigation concluded that. Zimm cvicted. So clearly it was not about race. Unfortunately early on we had people who promod it as our pop race. That is what domineered the headlines. John and a produr at nbc surprise, surprise clearly had black victimhood in line in mind when he edited the nine month one call. Res 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,ispanic, was left just th. Ts guy looks like his up to no good. He looks black. John lk, a television, we always maybe he was just no, that was justery 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 viims in america . Years ago, john. Blk 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 t me that whites should try to make amends, tried to give a break to minorities ace th i had. What is wrong with that . Before you answer, lets bring in a white person who opposes affirmative action. Jennifer gratz was denied admission to the university of michigan, you say because you are white. Aviano was because of your race . Well, theyre proud of the fact that they use race and admission to help some people into heard others. The university of machinelike i applied johnn not prrudly hurt others. They say they help some. When i alied to the university of michigan and a point systemn place. You needed 100 point to be accepted. A perfect act score and an applicant to los points, and a standing as sake was one point. Youre bck, as bennett, are native american, youre automaticall awarded 20 points, more than a perfect act your sa court. Very obvus how much a factor replace. John you sued over this inicate knledge of t suureme court and won. I did. John firmative action still lives. The Supreme Court said that race preferences cannot be used in a mechanical way. 3 the cou not be a point system, but race could be used as a ctor for about another 25 years. John if i get a job applicant and they are equal, probably would take the black person figuring this person had may be to overcome something inhe past. What is wrong with that . I think that our Decision Making should be colorblind. I think that first of all, the chances john what about the history of discrimination and special privileges forhites . I dont know of any special priveges that i have. There are three unintended viits of these policies. The people who get a preference to get into college and dont need or to get a job and dont need it and the credeials of unquestioned. John us talk about that. He senus this video of a conversation with a 1yearold gi. She has top grades, perfect s. A. T. Scos, and she is against affirmative action. T college, racial tension and Racial Division because the white people going to say, oh, but we dont get preferences. We dont get advantage theyre going to resent the minorities. Im going to get extra points because of pilot light, and i resent that. I dont want people looking at me and saying, maybe she got in becaus of what she lks like and not because she is qualified john
