going nowhere. i d say be, benevolent genius. because what we have learned from trump s appeal to some extent, bernie sanders appeal, rfk s juniors appeals that voters really want a candidate that can credibly say, i am not taking money from lobbyists, big pharma, big oil and i cannot be bought by the industry. so what these candidates are trying to do is to come up with other clever ways of coming up with the money and in their case they are both independently wealthy. i think a lot of voters are going to look at this and they re going to think what is worse, voting for a candidate who takes money from big pharma are voting for a candidate who comes up with a clever scheme that isn t really hurting anyone and raises money that way? they re going to say i take the latter. e, the grading but necessary. because they re trying to respond to these and if you re spending $19 per donor to reach the threshold, it s a drop in the bucket i think i read it was
are an irrelevant part of america s very real garbage epidemic. a recent clean up of the river found 36 tons of trash. now, within that 36 tons were 4,000 drinking straws. that s about 4 pounds of straws total or 1/18,000th of the total waste. when it comes to plastic waste that is hurting the environment and there is an awful lot of it and yes it is hurting the environment. drinking straws from this country are irrelevant. what is relevant? where is all this litter coming from, litter that s hurting the environment? well, millions of tons of plastics enter the world s oceans every year and not from america. instead the vast majority of this garbage is toxic garbage comes from asia in particular china. so ask yourself is anyone on the left launching a boycott of china? until they stop dumping their toxic garbage into the world s oceans. well, don t hold your breath, of course they are not planning to boycott
see them high all the time, which they are. a huge number of our kids, especially our boys are smoking weed constantly. you may not realize that because new technology has made it all but odorless, but it s everywhere. that s not an accident. once our leaders understood they could get rich from main, maimarijuana became ubiqu. many places legalized or decriminalized it speaker of the house john boehner now lobbies for the marijuana industry. fellow republicans. better than alcohol, they tell us. maybe, who cares? talk about missing the point. try having dinner with a 19-year-old who has been smoking weed in the life is gone. passive, flat, trapped in their own heads. do you want that for your kids. of course not. then why are our leaders pushing it on us? you know the reason. because they don t care about us. when you care about people, you do your best to treat them fairly. our leaders don t even try. they hand out jobs and contracts and scholarships
how to appeal to people as an individual, as herself. i would also assert, tucker, all kidding aside that i think she is actually running to split the bernie sanders vote she knows she is not going to be the nominee. what she is doing for someone is splitting that progressive vote that is on the left. the question becomes who is she helping? we might see this in the months to come and of course she expects some favors to be done in the future. that s what s happening here. all bernie sanders supporters who would include someone like ms. alexandria ocasio-cortez and her fans should be doubly insulted that she is trying to co-opt that kind of style and message. tucker: interesting. i m not clever enough to have thought of that ocasio, cortez being too young to run for president constitutionally. who do you think it is elizabeth warren might be helping secretly in this race? well, look, you have to think about, of course, bernie sanders appeal. very popular among millennials. the west
now looks like detroit. this is striking because rural americans wouldn t seem to have very much in common with anyone from the inner city. the groups have different cultures, different that dilingses, different political beliefs. usually they have different skin colors. rural people are white conservatives, mostly. yet the pathologies of modern rural america are familiar to anyone who visited downtown baltimore in the 180s, stunning out-of-wedlock birth rates, high male unemployment. a terrifying drug epidemic. two different worlds, similar outcomes. how did this happen? you think our ruling class would be deeply interested in knowing the answer, but mostly they are not. they don t have to be interested. it s easier to import foreign labor to take the place of native born americans who are slipping behind. now republicans now represent rural voters. they ought to be interested. here s a big part of the answer. male wages decline. manufacturing and male dominated industry all but disap
