You and people around your age are the ones who will feel the effects of political decisions that are being made right now. Good for you that you take an interest in voting. Too bad more young people do not.
@gail7384 if you really want to know what these people are about learn the history of the USSR and how hundreds of millions of people lived their entire lives in poverty and misery with absolutely no hope of a better life. That is the world these people ((Harris and Walz) will create if they get their way.
Most of what he says is propaganda. And he selectively excludes certain facts that don't fit the narrative. You would be better off broadening your understanding elsewhere.
Well done Robert Reich! You’ve stuck with truth and decisive commentary throughout this tumultuous year, (and for a long time prior!) Thank you for your persistence in sharing your experience and knowledge.
She praised Bidenomics remember? I guess everybody was so depressed about Joe’s mental lapse that they were counting on everyone’s short memory to get all excited about Kamala being the well taught puppet. Oh well sometimes you do get what you vote for. She is not going to be significant in changes to help with the economy in the long run. Price fixing has been done before and it kills the entrepreneurial spirit while helping larger corporations achieve monopolies and hire workers elsewhere so that if anything we’ll suffer shortages. The idea is to keep American companies here. She wants global trade so much so that putting money in other country’s pockets is more important than creating a STABLE middle class. Joe has been killing the middle class now for 4 years while she’s been cheering on the sidelines but forget that Trump’s policies had some results because it’s just darn easier to be in blind memoryless denial. It makes me ill to know that there are still dumbasses out there still praising Biden.I at least give Kamala credit for distancing herself from Biden as much as she can because that’s the one main reason she has anything going for her as far as politics go. She bided her time because mistresses are good at that. If she could spread ‘em for an old fart she’s pretty much capable of anything. I for one won’t enjoy taking it up the back end with her policies and how our worst enemies will take advantage of her not knowing anything but how to be a puppet. Hate to sound pessimistic but it is what it is. Joe messed up so bad it could be difficult for the most astute Republican ever to really get things completely back on track but we were and are not completely ready for a full green economy. Just a bunch of wishful thinking by the elitists as they throw the middle class under the bus and everybody knows it.

2:15 I think it's also how kamala shrugs off his attacks and trolls him every time he does something stupid. It's a level of combativeness Trump has never seen before and can't handle. It's something neither Hillary nor Biden ever did. Trump is used to everyone showing deference to him. Kamala bragging about how she's better than him in the open, mocking his failures and pretty much blowing a raspberry at him just enrages him like nothing else. And I fully agree with her. Trump never showed kamala any respect so she doesn't need to show him any.
@@KarenLeeArtist Trump is a bully at his core and what a bully can't stand is someone standing up to them. Hillary gently scolded Trump which only encourages a bully and Biden made him this big looming villain which made Trump feel powerful. Kamala though mocks him, trolls him, belittles him and dismisses his attacks. She makes it very clear she's not afraid of Trump. Trump has been the big bully who did whatever he wanted all his life. Someone confronting him and making it clear they are not afraid is something he's never faced before and he can't handle it. He wants Kamala to cower before him or be triggered or in some way do what he wants but she refuses.
I like that her campaign doesn't act offended and start complaining and pearl-clutching about his sexism. "Politics ain't beanbag" and she doesn't act like she deserves kid gloves because she's a woman. She can handle it, and him.

And the beauty of this new optimism is that it lifts people out of themselves, so that politics isn’t about who you are or what group you belong to, it becomes about what’s good for everyone.
And you're the one to decide what's good for everyone? You're that self centered and ignorant, huh? Oh I just saw your profile picture. The perfect indicator of "i'm so tolerant and accepting that I'll just shout louder when someone disagree's with my fragile identity".
STILL at it!!! Soldier on …. Trooper! Social Security is my only income. I worked for it. I paid it in . It’s mine! You are us retirees’ own Reich-Marshall. Go. Go. Go.
My grandmother went to work when she was 11 years old. That was 1916. She worked until she was in her 70s. Only part of that time, because it didn't exist yet, did she pay into Social Security. Thankfully, she received Social Security payments until she was 99 years old in 2005. Social Security helps so many people that it just pains me to hear how the system might end. If I live to be 99 [my mom made 99 and my dad made 98] will Social Security still be around? I hope so. ~Marie
As long as rich people keep gutting public education, those same poor people will remain largely ignorant and easily manipulatable. For the oligarchic class: mission accomplished
Well, they actively wish everyone harm, even each other, and think any empathy (except for Dear Leader) is demonically sissified, and see racism as patriotic and pious, what's not to like?
Why doesn't the media ever ask Trump about his fabulous healthcare plan that he touted the first time he ran for office? Trump has no plan or plans of any kind. All he wants to do is fill his pockets and those of the oligarchs who support him.
He's merely an easily manipulated useful idiot for those behind the curtain...those who've created a blueprint to replace our Constitution and intend to impose THEIR OWN ultra right-wing fascist authoritarian AGENDAS (via project 2025) on our nation and its people. STAY VIGILANT. When Trump loses they won't go away. That's the real danger. They need to be exposed at every turn.

I grew up when Ma Bell was busted up with anti-trust laws. There were also laws that prevented media companies from owning too many radio, television and print companies throughout the country. The Des Moines Register and Tribune was forced to sell off their TV station. The enforcement of laws that protected people from exactly what we are experiencing today. Networks were allowed 5 Owned and Operated broadcast stations. The rest were local affiliates, locally owned and managed. They served their public without interference. Now we have companies like Sinclair with somewhere in around 150 stations who all have to cater to corporate. It taints the entire idea of freedom of the press.

@@melindahall5062 of course, all of those things, that's the Donald Trump we've always known, but his rapid mental decline is either dementia or syphilitic brain rot. I'd feel bad for him... if it was someone else
All I heard out of Trumps mouth is the country has gone to shit basically Kamala this Kamala that, and nothing on policy. Kamala went into detail what she plans on doing for our economy. Like it or not, she has plans lol. I still can’t figure out why so many people voted for Trump since 2016 and they are still going to. I agree with most of the policies Kamala mentioned but and a big but, we need a house and senate to do this.
From my recent experience speaking with my Trump voting family members all they seem to care about is the border. That’s why Trump bangs that drum so hard.
@Rhyno012345 And they are being manipulated about that. He isn't serious about fixing it by not fixing it while he was in office and then stopping the bill that Republicans wanted from being passed. They don't want to see that part though its everyone's fault, but his even though he didn't fix it either.
So, I have a theory... Animals tend to be more intelligent when respected and existing in an educated environment... This same difference must apply to humans. So, in less educated areas, you see more "primalism" or "cavemanism", if you would. And due to, you get rubes that are easily fooled by a man calling fire when there's only smoke. It doesn't matter if, when they arrive at the source, there is no fire. Because there was smoke, there must of been a fire. And that is the mentality we are seeing. And how do you convince someone who, in the core of their being, believes a lie so deeply otherwise? Example of an intelligent animal: Saw a video. Girl (4-5) drops her ball in a pool. About to fall in trying to get it, but the family dog pulls her away. The dog then gets the leaf net for the pool and fishes the ball out. This intelligence is not anywhere close to typical for canine intelligence. But in the right environment an individual can be enhanced beyond. Meaning this dog was smart in the first place, but even that action is above and beyond what a smart dog would understand. Meaning the environment gave it a level of cognition beyond. Now compare with humans, I see a pattern personally.
@@shawntadaye38 I totally agree with you. I’m 54 years old and I been hearing about the boarder crisis for about 40 years now lol. Biden/Harris had a solution to it, it was going to go through and Trump blocked it. Trump always has to run on fear. Without that he’s nothing. This country can crash and burn, he will allow it for political gain. The Boarder is a talking point pulling on the heart strings for people who fear that something will be taken away from them. Keep in mind the same people who vote for Trump have business of their own and will pick up illegals to do their cheap labor for them. What hypocrisy.

Encourage people to buy food directly from the farmer as much as possible. Go to the farmer’s markets!
Such a silly thing to think that the farmers were recently paid what was spent years ago illegally. We all know the farmers were paid not to grow certain crops.

Excellent duo. Thanks for your efforts. TFG and JD are sinking as Kamala and Tim are soaring.
Love the contrast.
Prof. Reich is indeed a professor for the masses, his message should be heard country-wide.
Robert Reich is phenomenal at explaining economics! 💙💙😊✌
I love watching and listening to Robert Reich…..there’s something about his vocal delivery that is very comforting.
Yes, I also love Lawrence O’Donnell!
Kinda like when you ignored Obamas policies and voted for him. Dazzled by words
Hello you two!
Im happy about the positive campaign of our new President Harris!
Every one please get involved!!!
😊
I loved/love Biden, but I'll never forget that unexpected, overwhelming wave of HOPE upon his sacrificial handoff to Kamala. After so many dark years we almost forgot what Hope felt like. Vote Harris/Walz!

The MAGA movement runs very deep. The large majority of Trump supporters will defend him until their last breath.

I would encourage people to watch The Bulwark's Focus Group episode today. We need to understand the ideology and indoctrination we face.
This won't end with Trump, it won't even be slowed by a Trump loss.

@@crashburn3292 good point buddy!
And the beauty of this new optimism is that it lifts people out of themselves, so that politics isn’t about who you are or what group you belong to, it becomes about what’s good for everyone.
And you're the one to decide what's good for everyone? You're that self centered and ignorant, huh? Oh I just saw your profile picture. The perfect indicator of "i'm so tolerant and accepting that I'll just shout louder when someone disagree's with my fragile identity".
As it should be...
STILL at it!!! Soldier on …. Trooper! Social Security is my only income. I worked for it. I paid it in . It’s mine! You are us retirees’ own Reich-Marshall. Go. Go. Go.
My grandmother went to work when she was 11 years old. That was 1916. She worked until she was in her 70s. Only part of that time, because it didn't exist yet, did she pay into Social Security. Thankfully, she received Social Security payments until she was 99 years old in 2005. Social Security helps so many people that it just pains me to hear how the system might end. If I live to be 99 [my mom made 99 and my dad made 98] will Social Security still be around? I hope so. ~Marie

The most amazing makeover in history.

Absolutely!!
Bravo Your conversations are extremely informative .
it is amazing the sacrifices poor people are willing to make to keep rich people in power.
Regrettably, feeding their individual and collective hate, feels better than feeding socioeconomic opportunities for all. 🇺🇲💔🤍💙🗽
Very well said
The uneducated are their besties!
As long as rich people keep gutting public education, those same poor people will remain largely ignorant and easily manipulatable.
For the oligarchic class: mission accomplished
They claimed they can’t afford groceries but they will “donate” to their leader !!! 🥴
I've run out of empathy for MAGAs and Trump.
Yo!
I never had any
I never had any for them.
Well, they actively wish everyone harm, even each other, and think any empathy (except for Dear Leader) is demonically sissified, and see racism as patriotic and pious, what's not to like?
@@yvonneplant9434 me too.
Trump flies into a rage any time ANYONE doesn't fall on their knees and praise him!
His own A.G. ( Another of the ' fine.' SCUMp appointees, soon fired by - - SCUMp ! ), described SCUMp as a ' MALIGNANT NARCISSIST !!!!!
We worked for Social Security how in the HELL can they take something that they didn't give
I guess we, as the expectant slaves, are not entitled to the fruits of our labor.
heh, good billboard slogan.
Because the Republicans want the privatization of social security so that hedge funds can start making money from it. So damn sad!!
Trump
Because they've taken everything else away and people still vote for them.
Republicans have always specialized in Other People's Money,OPM...describes Trump's , Art Of The Deal, perfectly.
Why doesn't the media ever ask Trump about his fabulous healthcare plan that he touted the first time he ran for office? Trump has no plan or plans of any kind. All he wants to do is fill his pockets and those of the oligarchs who support him.
We have all seen how Trump attacks who asks the question diverting away from answering in a way that would produce knowledge
He's merely an easily manipulated useful idiot for those behind the curtain...those who've created a blueprint to replace our Constitution and intend to impose THEIR OWN ultra right-wing fascist authoritarian AGENDAS (via project 2025) on our nation and its people. STAY VIGILANT. When Trump loses they won't go away. That's the real danger. They need to be exposed at every turn.

I am a 67 year old man. I hate Trump, but love Kamala and Tim. Thank you for this.
Although I am fundamentally aligned with your positioning, I think at your age you should know better than to give in to feelings when it comes to politics. Love and hate are categories that should be purged from the political discourse. Critical thinking should be enough.
@@stefanolacchin4963What makes you think he doesn’t include critical thinking as well? You shouldn’t make snap judgments just to criticize someone. Accept what he said or don’t.

The problem of high food prices is rooted in the ethics of greed on the part of the big companies who supply food. It is one of the serious flaws in runaway capitalism and it has to be dealt with.
Vulture capitalism.
Big companies are a major threat to the country because they attack us with inflation they blame someone else for.
i had a stroke from a blood clot two yrs ago while uninsured. the amount of money i owe to so many different doctors is absurd. i’m 45 and have no children which made it even harder to get coverage, especially when you’re not receiving any other assistance already, say food stamps for example. it’s really important to have compassion for people and remember how it can happen to anyone 💙

When Harris announced her running mate, Trump ran a press conference.

Can I just ignore him with a dismissive middle finger (or two) instead?
@@beckybrewer3508 on another yt channel (maybe Bryan Tyler Cohen, I'm not sure offhand) there was shared a quote from someone in media along the lines of "at least trump gives us access."

I grew up when Ma Bell was busted up with anti-trust laws. There were also laws that prevented media companies from owning too many radio, television and print companies throughout the country. The Des Moines Register and Tribune was forced to sell off their TV station. The enforcement of laws that protected people from exactly what we are experiencing today. Networks were allowed 5 Owned and Operated broadcast stations. The rest were local affiliates, locally owned and managed. They served their public without interference. Now we have companies like Sinclair with somewhere in around 150 stations who all have to cater to corporate. It taints the entire idea of freedom of the press.
the Gaza situation is bad, but keeping Trump away from the White House is more important.
The two are connected. Chump would be worse for Palestinians.
Dumb Butt Donnie would just gum up the works if he is involved.
Tell that to the starving Palestinian children
@@user-ti3vp9mt3zI think they mean that big picture, we’ll have even more starving children with Trump
Trump would be a disaster for the middle east, no doubt about it.
Strong antitrust is indeed necessary for enforcing competition, and thus bringing down prices.
Great insight Bob 🎉🎉
Thank you, Robert and Heather!!
Trump sounds like he's got syphilis. Tariffs put Small Businesses out of business. That's what the rich oligarchs of corporate America want. Consumerism dies in the night.

Pay attention. Trump is having a nervous breakdown before our very eyes!!
And silly me! I was only thinking of a heart attack, or a stroke...
A nervous breakdown short circuits the brain. He could end up in the funny farm with Rudy and friends.
Trump is helping us recognize dementia while having a nervous breakdown. The perfect study for college psychology classes.
and he should know that being an insult comic is a LOT less stressful than the office of president...

All I heard out of Trumps mouth is the country has gone to shit basically Kamala this Kamala that, and nothing on policy.
Kamala went into detail what she plans on doing for our economy. Like it or not, she has plans lol. I still can’t figure out why so many people voted for Trump since 2016 and they are still going to. I agree with most of the policies Kamala mentioned but and a big but, we need a house and senate to do this.
The Felon just lies & whines, while making fools of his voters for believing his bullshit.💙💙💙
From my recent experience speaking with my Trump voting family members all they seem to care about is the border. That’s why Trump bangs that drum so hard.
@Rhyno012345 And they are being manipulated about that. He isn't serious about fixing it by not fixing it while he was in office and then stopping the bill that Republicans wanted from being passed. They don't want to see that part though its everyone's fault, but his even though he didn't fix it either.
So, I have a theory...
Animals tend to be more intelligent when respected and existing in an educated environment...
This same difference must apply to humans.
So, in less educated areas, you see more "primalism" or "cavemanism", if you would.
And due to, you get rubes that are easily fooled by a man calling fire when there's only smoke. It doesn't matter if, when they arrive at the source, there is no fire. Because there was smoke, there must of been a fire.
And that is the mentality we are seeing.
And how do you convince someone who, in the core of their being, believes a lie so deeply otherwise?
Example of an intelligent animal:
Saw a video. Girl (4-5) drops her ball in a pool. About to fall in trying to get it, but the family dog pulls her away. The dog then gets the leaf net for the pool and fishes the ball out.
This intelligence is not anywhere close to typical for canine intelligence. But in the right environment an individual can be enhanced beyond. Meaning this dog was smart in the first place, but even that action is above and beyond what a smart dog would understand. Meaning the environment gave it a level of cognition beyond.
Now compare with humans, I see a pattern personally.
@@shawntadaye38 I totally agree with you. I’m 54 years old and I been hearing about the boarder crisis for about 40 years now lol. Biden/Harris had a solution to it, it was going to go through and Trump blocked it. Trump always has to run on fear. Without that he’s nothing. This country can crash and burn, he will allow it for political gain. The Boarder is a talking point pulling on the heart strings for people who fear that something will be taken away from them. Keep in mind the same people who vote for Trump have business of their own and will pick up illegals to do their cheap labor for them. What hypocrisy.
