- Опубликовано: 8 мар 2023
- President Biden’s budget was deemed dead on arrival because the GOP wants deep cuts to assistance for poor Americans. Elsewhere, Fox News staffers call the environment their “soul crushing,” and Republicans are loosening restrictions on child labor nationwide.

Land of the free........ free to exploit. Federal minimum wage for under 18 is $4.25/hr. Imagine an age-unverified child working in a coal mine for less than 5 bucks an hour. Welcome to the richest country on earth.
When you come from a country where you are being exploited with $1 a day, $4.25 sounds a lot and could save that teens live, but democrats were always against immigrants so I am not surprised they want to stop migrant teens from working
Simply disgusting!
Our federal/general minimum wage is 12€.
I can't imagine working for a third of that.
I wouldn't even be able to pay my rent with that amount.
It’s otherwise called stipend slavery!
Until he brought up migrant children, it hadn't occurred to me that that's almost certainly why these laws are being made. If you can't outsource production to make foreign kids work for peanuts in dangerous conditions, then allow those same "foreign" kids to work right here in the US for pennies!
Country built on free labor!
I was forced to work by my alcoholic father on a farm in Mississippi that still had the original board plantation sign back in the mid 70's. I was 10 years old when I was taught to drive a tractor. By age eleven I was driving 10 hours in the soybean fields. For one dollar an hour. The land owner LOVED it. Turns out he never matched any social security payments and indeed pocketed what he withheld. 3 years worth. I only found that out when I became disabled at 46. That was sheer abuse because I sure as hell didn't want to be in the Mississippi sun working for those long hours. I wanted to play. Request denied. By lax labor laws & non enforcement of the ones that were & are on the books.
Mr. Robinson I am so sorry for how you were treated in your childhood. I hope you have had a happy life.
I'm so sorry you were put through that. There aren't even words 😔
I work in a meat processing plant now and I fear what would happen to 16 and 17 yr olds working in that place with me. Scares me a lot
Too young to have gender affirming care at 14 but not too young to work in a mine. These politicians and the people who vote for them truly disgust me.
I agree. They should be able to have gender affirming care AND work in a mine. Glad you see it that way, too.
@@dipperjc 🤢🤮
And don't forget the judge that decided 10 is not too young to become a mother.
And don't forget the judge that forced the mentally challenged girl to have her kid after being raped.
@@calinasagilitypartner4444Yep. I bet if it was his own daughter or granddaughter he’d make sure she got an abortion!

And prison labor.
And undocumented immigrant labor.
And forcing women to bear children.
@@youtubename7819 Well, they need those children for all of that child labor! lol
So THIS is why the Republicans are so adamant in killing Roe v Wade! More kids, more child slaves!
14 and 15 year olds belong in school, at activites, and having fun. GOP says work and make me richer
"Kids 6 thru 18 should be FORCED to do (bogus) Child Labor.........that pays ZERO cents an hour.............and do this for 12 LONG YEARS......where they are bullied or molested by coaches and teachers..............and they should also be FORCED to do HOME-WORK!! That's where kids belong!"
GREAT point!

the GOP : we will protect your children from the dangers of drag shows but allow your children to work in factories and mines
Don't forget they also promote teenage pregnancies in rural areas. Lauren bohart just praises her seventeen-year-old son for getting somebody's daughter pregnant without being married. They don't mind children having children that is pro-life.
Yes, they are hell-bent on stopping those nefarious drag shows that have done so much damage to our youth, while not lifting a finger to legislate the most basic gun registration and background checks to address what is merely the largest cause of child deaths, higher than cancer, higher than car and roof fall accidents, etc. This shows that they don't REALLY care about children. And loosening child labor laws is all about making it legal to exploit young immigrants. Again, they don't really care about children or child safety; they are not REALLY pro-life. They are pro-power and authority.
@@tammyjohnson1927 Boebert is 36. Her teenage son is now fathering a teen woman's pregnancy. Boebert had a teen pregnancy. Her mother had her as a teen pregnancy. Yes, Boebert has been part of and is perpetuating a FOUR GENERATION teen pregnancy cycle. She's PROUD of this, even though statistics show that teen pregnancies lead to severe limitations in both the teen parent's potential and success as well as the child's future potential and success. There is almost nothing more predictive of poor and limited education, associated crime, and a whole host of social and societal high risks resulting from teen pregnancies that make them highly dependent on government support. It is ironic that as she touts her pride for her inter-generational teen pregnancy cycle, she also votes for cutting social safety nets (food stamps, public education funding, public housing, etc.) that very commonly serves teen pregnancy families in need. Boebert is so dumb. She is such a mixed up mess.
Yea yea Biden is horrible this was a mistake to elect him no doubt about it.
And they want them all to have guns, very pro life smh
Reversing 100 years of progress. That is absolutely terrifying.
Yes but it can't be helped as long as long as Biden is president 😭
Well, I was laughing. Then he brought in the changes to the child labor laws. Now I'm too angry to go to bed. _ _ _ _ _ _!!!

As a resident of the state of Arkansas, the child labor law that was passed was only one of two awful things our governor has done. Her sweeping education reform bill nearly guarantees the bankruptcy of rural schools, forcing them to merge, and prop up private schools and home schooling. Oh, and it gives parents the power to complain about what subjects (think evolution, vaccines, etc.) are being taught to their children and the school admin can fire that teacher with impunity.
Bill Clinton might not be something to be proud of, but his presidency was good for the States. Very.
Hope you're getting wiser with time, Arkansas.

@@thesubhumancomedy I think,and that's just me; that it's more human to want some sex with a willing participant,more normal to want to F someone; than to love to F your countrymen....that's just me tho.
And this is why I hate the politicians of the state so much. Arkansas is relatively peaceful to live in especially with the abundance of nature that’s all over the place. But these idiotic politicians are like the roaches that infest your dream house. No matter how nice the house is you just can’t seem to get rid of them completely they just keep coming back and infesting the place that it makes it almost uninhabitable. And the people that allow them to continue to get into office are just plain stupid brain dead morons that constantly want to preserve a nonexistent status quo and are frequently shocked at the terrible ideas that they’ve allowed to be unleashed by these morons. This state is going to hell because of morons like her. Every single time she opens her mouth it feels like a sword in my brain and make me genuinely embarrassed to say I’m from here. Our only hope now is that she wrecks the place so bad that come the next election it’ll finally get people off their asses and actually get them to kick her out of office and maybe out of this state for good. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I started working as a migrant worker from the age of 4, and now my body is paying for it...
and of course, none of these Republicans will let their kids go to the mines, that's for the poor to do
His NFTs cost $99, his book of letters costs $99 is the remaining $1 for his campaign donation? Is there gonna be a $1 button? Btw who is the Publisher? Sounds like some money laundering crap is going on.
We live by the “golden rule” in America which is to say that those who have the gold make the rules. Corporations are writing the laws to make it easier for them to employ children. we need to break the cycle of dependence on corporate funding for politicians so that politicians can go back to actually representing the people, not the money.
Yea
good idea
An absolute Must!!
This! 🌟
Agreed but the only way to do that is to completely clear the board and start over fresh. Meaning every single current politician in the government has to be removed from power including the courts and a new election system would have to be put in place. Because let’s be honest none of these ass clowns will willingly vote to cut ties with the corporations that bankroll them. But there’s also another problem. As it stands America needs to look strong in front of the world especially with threats of Russia and North Korea that wouldn’t hesitate for a single second to pull something if we were to undergo just a drastic change in leadership. So while it would be great to break that dependence by clearing the board it would also open a whole new Pandora’s Box of problems that wouldn’t end well for anyone involved. So for now we’ll just have to put up with it for the moment and try to do as much damage control as we can and hopefully someday when other countries will finally be able to handle their own sh*t without needing ours to hold their hands then we can finally turn our attention to tearing out this problem at the root.
Thank you, Stephen, for helping us get through these troubled times with at least a few grins. The things the former GOP are trying to do to this nation are totally reprehensible, and I still don't understand how those who voted them into power can't SEE what their representatives doing is going to hurt them, not the representatives who haven't seen a day worrying about paying a medical bill, or the price of food, or finding somewhere they can afford the rent since... ever.
What you and your writers do is truly a service to the nation. The total opposite of what the former GOP does. 😕
❤️❤️
The thing is, the name of the child in the mine won’t be Devon. It will be Juan. And that’s the entire point. These laws are racist beyond comprehension.
I'm gonna be sick... again...
Agreed.
THE FASCIST GOP WILL BE HAPPY TO SEE IMMIGRANT KIDS MAIMED OR KILLED WORKING IN DANGEROUS JOBS WHEN THEY SHOULD BE AT SCHOOL - BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE SAFE OR EDUCATED ! ! !

"Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're f'ed." - George Carlin

Horrific possibility.
I am horrified that they are not protecting children in the workplace. I work in a big box store near West Virginia and I've seen kids come in clearly having come straight from coal mines. I thought some didn't look old enough to drive, and now I wonder if I was right and they weren't.
What a world...
I know, but it doesn't have to be this way. We need to vote blue for every state office.

I notice the law essentially says, "the fed may prohibit us from exploiting children, but this law gives the sweatshops plausible deniability."
It's heartbreaking to think that in today's modern world, child labor is still a thing. It's an absolute travesty that children are being forced to work at such a young age. No child should have to suffer through this kind of exploitation. The recent news of kids in Arkansas being subjected to such labor is beyond wrong. We must take action to prevent this from happening ever again. #EndChildLabor
& the terrible thing is the kids needed the money for some reason- I hope they are in safe situations after losing their jobs.
That's just how the far right thinks, though. They're so devoted to capitalism that anyone not either already rich or currently generating wealth is seen as worthless.

neo-fuedalism started with reagan ....
... most business people are republicans. your favorite brand items are made by children in china. why? because they dont want to pay minimum wage here. if your boss could fire you and get the same work by some dude in china, he'd do it. w0w such a shocker. most US automotive companies (aside Tesla) are made in south america for the same reason. its 2+2 concept to grasp.....

The sad thing is that most people can't survive on minimum wage and the fact he wanted to pay less probably knowing that is scary.
So the Republican answer to labor shortages, rather than raising wages and strengthening worker protections, is bringing adolescents into the workforce. "GOP... the idea people."
there so DUMM dum
My dad spent his early years in mining towns in eastern Pennsylvania. His father was a line manager for a coal company and his mom’s father was a founding delegate for the UMW. No tension there. My grandmother died in 1918 during the Spanish flu pandemic, months before my dad’s 8th birthday. On her deathbed she pleaded with her husband not to send her son into the mines. He had already been working on the slag heaps ‘picking coal’. Like so many families, her five children were dispersed through the extended family and never lived together again. But thanks to her and her husband’s respect for her dying wish, not one of them ever worked in the mines. God help America to learn from its history. Amen.

They're not going to learn anything about what it actually took to obtain any of the rights, freedom and privileges that everyone takes for granted today.

Why do you want 7 year olds having access to books about blow jobs and sex? Whats with democrats obsession with pushing sex and sexual acts on minor children ? Thats the type of books your supporting.
It's one of their money laundering scams. Any Republican can write some drivel -- or hire someone from the Heritage Foundation to write it for them -- and get it published through an ultra conservative publisher that's about as selective as a vanity press.

The proposed Labor laws in Ohio, Iowa, and Arkansas are actually showing how sad and desperate those states’ economies are. In Arkansas, more than 5 percent of adults do not have a high school diploma. I mean, Why is that so difficult? And another sad thing is they can vote because they are older than 18. There are similar situations in other states - particularly in the deep south. Mississippi - which borders Arkansas - is the #1 poorest state in the US.
some of our 50 states STILL allow old men to rape 12 year old girls! (The catch? They just have to pay the redneck mom or dad to let the perv MARRY the little girl, and he can "legally" have sex with her all the time and she can't say no to any of it cuz she's a minor!!)

You raise an interesting point. "No taxation without representation" would seem to imply that if teenagers can have big boy jobs with big boy wages, they should probably have the political power that comes with that.
The child labor law shift is mainly so they can allow immigrant children to work in meat plants, mines, factories, etc. The GOP hates immigration from south of the Rio Grande while at the same time wanting immigrant labor. Hypocrisy at its finest.
This has been going on in Arkansas for a long time. In 1969 I went to college with a guy who worked in a sawmill in Arkansas as a kid. He was the first person in his family to finish high school.

Twenty-four Tennessee Republicans wanted to make common law marriage legal. But the bill they were pushing through the legislature didn't have any age requirements and opponents say that paves the way for allowing child marriages and it made headlines around the world. Newsweek, The Hill and The Daily Mail in the U.K. have all written about it, Twitter was all abuzz about it, and all eyes are on the Volunteer State as people wondered if the state’s lawmakers were about to legalize child marriage.😠
Did you know that 8 states in our country have legal child marriages..and Wyoming is one of those states....matter of fact...Repubes in that state are fighting legislation that requires they be 16+ to get married because as of right now there's no age limit and some kids as young as 10 have been married in that state. So yeah...the fact that these sick fucks think child marriage is fine and 8 states still make it legal makes me rethink wanting to live in a country full of pedophile repubes who fight for this shit to stay legal.
only in the past ten YEARS have they cracked down on old men "LEGALLY" raping 12 year old girls!
Most of the 50 states had laws that ALLOWED OLD MEN to fuck 12 year old girls........as long as they MARRIED the girls!!
(LOads of rednecks basically sold their daughters off to the highest bidder, just like they do in India and other nations and NO ONE CARES!)
Republicans are out of fucking control. Just insane.
I live in Tennessee. They were asked about the age problem and they stuttered around the issue. They wanted child brides.
Disgustingly, 43 US states permit child marriage.

@@melissam.pledger6467 I saw it, and was in awe that he ripped the entire gop alphabetically! Of course, they probably couldn't understand his order...lol
That 16 year old bartender impression was spot on.
Right down to the voice warble!
And no sixteen year old left unsupervised with a large supply of alcoholic beverages would ever do anything irresponsible, right?
The point IS people are starving, have lost everything to predatory lending, they can't afford to feed, clothe and home their families.🤦🙏😥
MAXIMUM wage solves almost all problems. ($300K a year?)
With this ceiling, capping excessive profit or salaries........all prices MUST go down!
And we'll call it......"CAP-IT-ALISM"!
But now they can send their kids to work in the meat packing plant or coal mine.
Some people's r suffering for sure....but,I see brand new trucks,cross sports vehicles like crazy; the airports r jammed absolutely jammed at vacation time,everyone I know 30 and over stand in line for fillers,Botox,boobs,buns etc at 1,000 a 💉.
Absolutely excellent!!!!!!!!
Our ancestors worked so hard to keep children out of the workplace. We can't go back to those days.
To be fair to the non-loonies not directly lying at FOX, it must be kinda hard to get hired elsewhere within the industry with FOX on your resume.
Chris Wallace got hired elsewhere.
The GOP's fight against education now starts by offering jobs instead of school? Yikes.
Yep, they are making US great again! Bleky,like it's 1929....
The interview question, "Who is your hero?" offers an excellent chance to tell interviewers about what inspires you and who you look up to most.

So Arkansas thinks under age CHILDREN should work in DANGEROUS situations without parental permission is ok?
Those laws and bills g*tting child labor protections are an absolute disgrace. What a horrific thing to propose.
It's only the poor kids that'll be working, the rich will be just fine, so don't worry.
Imagine being again a bill that helps your constituents because of party lines.
Go, Colbert!!!!! On fire!!!😁😉😂😂🤣🤣😭😭👌👏👍❗
Try to imagine a budget the GOP would approve of. It would be an extreme right-wing hellscape.
The support of State rights, reducing taxes to stimulate the economy, energy independence, a secure border that'd curb the flow of fentanyl, small government, strong national defense. But yeah, most Republicans would rather not kill babies after 16 weeks or allow men to compete in women's sports.....so I guess they are terrible.
And even then they still wouldn't give it a final approval just so they could "own the libs".
I think the movie "Elysium" would be a good approximation
Yeah. It would include getting rid of public schools, which is not perfect, but services 50 million kids. It would include no WIC or SSI or SSDI.
No need to worry about the zombie apocalypse - the GOP is trying to kill us off.
OMG! 🌮🌮"A**-blasting salt pockets"! Whoever came up with that deserves a raise.🤣🤣🤣
Love the _Strangers With Candy_ reference at 1:16
I got my first job at 14. I enjoyed my job. It was a swim instructor assistant. I did it on the weekends and during the summer to help pay for college. Nothing wrong with that. But that wasn't a physically demanding, dangerous job that could mess up my body and potentially end my life. Huuuuge difference.
Yeah, there’s a big difference between having an adolescent doing some menial low-risk labor for a short amount of time and having them work a full shift in an industrial plant or any other job that would have them working around heavy machinery and/or in conditions ranging from questionable to downright dangerous.
Love that President Biden asked them for their budget to see their priority as he stated that his budget shows what he and Americans with good hearts cares about
❤ I didn’t hear that- thanks for pointing that out. I love Biden
Yea let’s print more money to make inflation worse.
@@Tony-723 You racists cause inflation by voting for Republicans who increase spending and cut taxes and services.
@@Tony-723 it calls for increased taxes on the ultra wealthy. Billionaires. It also makes Medicaid solvent. Read it. Cuts the deficit by $10 trillion over 10 years with increased revenue.
Correction: cuts the deficit and increases revenues by $10 trillion over 10 years.
"the fight is the point" in other words "it's not about the money, it's about sending a message"
And maybe floating ideas that can gain in time?
Oh yeah I see it. The joker, the dark Knight.
I will never tire of LOTR references in this show.
Can the Supreme Court step in and change these child labor laws? WTF are these Republicans doing?
But the GOP has not created a budget. The first job of the House of Representatives is to create a budget.
Silly, the first job of the house is to whine about the president not creating a budget(not his job) or complaining about the budget(that they're supposed to set)
Exactly
It's probably because the GQP can't settle on how much they can personally profit off of it.
Let's ALL hope that this is different from their alternative to the Affordable Care Act?!! We can't wait indefinitely for NOTHING TO APPEAR!!!
But Hunter Biden lol
I dream of a world without Rupert Murdoch.
?? There's a million more of him who will just replace him.
MEET THE NEW BOSS.
SAME AS THE OLD BOSS.
The day we start burning their mansions down, is the day they say "OKAY!! We'll return trillions of your stolen dollars!"
No wonder they will never stop cheating or killing us: we will NEVER fight back.
I dream of one without trump
I dream of one with no gop
You are next up to host the Oscars next year. I love Jimmy, and I love you. Keep it going.
There are always stories about "child poverty". How do you expect them to escape poverty if you don't let them work?
OMG what are they doing returning to things like that. Just wow.
There is no hate like Christian love.
I liked the intro regarding the poor and the hungry! To Caesar, what belongs to Caesar!
Loved the 'person woman man camera TV' call-back.
Which T bragged about as a memory test, but seemed to be just him naming what he could see in front of him at a Press Call.
The phrase Fox journalist is an oxymoron...
or a "foxymoron"... as in a moron at fox news
Like MSNBC, Cmon Colbert, just a bit on Hunter banging Bo's widow.
How uncomfortable are the Holidays!
And a bunch of Dems wanted to defund the police! Do you know heroin and coke possession in Portland and Seattle is legal?
Next week on "Fox & Friends": The evil farmer is taxing the hens all of their eggs. Fox decides to liberate the eggs while his friends keep the farmer distracted with various hijinks. Once the eggs are successfully liberated, Fox and his friends eat the eggs. And then they eat the chickens.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insight into keeping the faith in Biden!
He is doing the right thing for the PEOPLE ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸❤️🤍💙🇺🇸
"I mean, it's one book. How much could it cost? $99?!"
Best line.. He's never bought a book!😂😂😂
yeah haaha its like there so stoopid!
I grinned like an idiot at the Lord of the Rings reference, thank you Stephen for reminding us you're a proud nerd.
😁👍
He's not the only one! I still recall my first time !
ye i,m not even a liberal anymore tehse days, the covid campagne made me switch to central, but I do still like stephen's nerdyness haha
thats why i was fan in the first place.
I'd wish the hell on those that voted for them that they will endeavor to force on us all if it weren't for the rest of us that hadn't.
Same here 😁
Of course, the real reason to weaken child labour laws is poorer families will pull their children out of school to make them work. No education means no way to get ahead, means entrenched poverty.
By loosening child labor laws is the way for gop to eliminate programs for the needy. Have the needy family put their children to work to pay taxes! GOP are snakes 🐍! MTG can put her son, his baby, and the baby’s momma to work
I started work at 14 in the early 80's, in Jersey. It was pretty normal for extra spending money.
I think there were rules regarding total hours and no-work past 10(?). The rules were often ignored if we wanted more hours, And working papers were required.
It wasnt in a mine or meat processing plant though.
Although, I may -ave preferred a mine to Burger King.
Unfortunately I think we'll see more and more child labor laws relaxed, as we're back to a time where anyone in a family who can work, needs to work to survive, in more cases than we should be willing to accept.
*Correction. I actually started working as a babysitter at 9 for a dollar an hour and all the snacks you wanted.
It was just normal.
But, it wasn't out of necessity like what's happening now.
Waiting for people whose letters were published in that book to sue for their cut.
Why the hell do we even have this debt ceiling debate every two years? We're the world's greatest economy and we're gonna let a few crazies destroy us?
Why is America the worlds greatest economy?
Well, you do the tax cuts for the rich, chop incoming revenue, and watch the debt fly sky high, then say debt doesn't matter, but we have to chop all these programs because of the debt that doesn't matter, and then...and then ; a Kardashian flashes some side boob, and we forget about it all, and go zipping out for dinner, cuz there's a new chicken sandwich !....here on planet stupid.(if putin doesn't kill us all first).
Meanwhile the people who actually determine all that and pass the budget and everything... cry on TV and twitter about the president being responsible for the economy and national budget...
@@coconuts2513 Because so few Americans ever view anything about the world outside it's borders, unless it's Mexico.
They are counting on their constituency to not understand that it is like a credit card. We are paying for what has already been spent.
West Virginian coal companies can't wait to put kids back in the mines. They'd love the cheap labor. WV is as red a state as they come.
I know.
Manchin state. But they keep electing him.? W. VIRGINIA, understand this, Manchin doesn't care about you or your impoverished situation.
Perfect guitar joke (reference) at 3:48 had me rolling 🤣
Huck is actually doing the kids a favour, because if they work at those nasty jobs, they'll realized getting an education is one way they can climb out of the dead end. My son took a year off after High School and worked retail. That year taught him a lesson and now he's a Space Engineer working with Satellites.
Retail isn't the same as a freaking mine. hey kid, it's okay if you get disabled in a mine accident! The GQP will bury you alive so they don't have to pay to care for you till you die at age 20!
