in rural america that we associated with cities. it s about wages. it s pretty clear from the data. why aren t our policymakers responding to this? first of all, we have to agree that it s a crisis. imagine 90 lambeau fields, 90 stadiums full of men missing in action from our workforce. we have a concept of a problem. obviously this has a terrible effect on men, men are far more likely to want to work and therefore far more likely to bef depressed when things aren t working out. if we can at least agree on those basic facts, which we know from a myriad of studies, i think it s a good starting place. tucker: there seems to be resistance on the part of policymakers, even to acknowledge the problem as if, and this is just a guess, it s somehow an attack on women to acknowledge that there is a male employment crisis. politics seem to play a role. definitely plays a role and so does our culture and of course, that s silly. you can care about women and you can care about men.
in inner cities. now the same is true in rural america. the problem isn t culture. in both cases, the cause of the same. a lack of well-paying jobs for men. what s striking is how little notice these facts get from our policymakers. their aim is to raise women s wages to parity or above men. there is nothing wrong with that but these are complex questions. they deserve a vigorous public debate. it s notable that most women, the very population on whose behalf these policies are supposedly devised, strongly prefer to marry men who make more than theysu do. but what s beyond debate is that washington and corporate america aren t thinking a lot about how toto solve the male wage crisis. if anything, they are exacerbating it. lawmakers in both parties for example have hardly embraced self-driving vehicles and drone delivery of packages.
let s be honest with each other. if there were 50,000 kids going to a milo yiannopoulos rally right now, taken by their teachers from fort worth, you would say this is the end of america. students aren t doing this going to milo rallies because that s not what they believe. they believe in this. tucker, you had students bury their friends. you had students lose friends and that happens all across the country. tucker: the theatrics. pull back. it s not theatrics. i don t understand why you re dismissing. tucker: i m not in any way dismissing. what you re doing is engaging in the classic moral blackmail techniques of the left, which is rather than make a rational case, you point to children and say, if you oppose what i believe, you are against them. let me ask a rational question. you have sent a number of tweets out recently saying the cops are racist. they kill a disproportionally high number of african-americans. have i? tucker: yes, you have. i m not attacking yo
now the same is true in rural america. the problem is in culture. in both cases, the cause of the same. a lack of well-paying jobs for men. what s striking is how little notice these facts get from our policymakers. there are over is to raise women s wages above men. there is nothing inherently wrong with that, but these are complex questions with numerous and profound unintended consequences, so they deserve a vigorous public debate. it s notable that most women, the very population on whose behalf these policies are supposedly devised strongly prefer to marry men who make more than they do. what s beyond debate is that washington in corporate america aren t thinking a lot about how to solve the male wage crisis. lawmakers in both parties for example have hardly embraced self-driving vehicles and drawn delivery of packages. it s all impressive technology,
