This week on This Week in Feminism, Gloria Allred tries to find a job that pays more than $100,000 per year, and we talk about child sex trafficking. Plus, we discuss the gas prices and the state of the economy.
00:00:39.000Okay, Claire, I understand manual labor isn't for everyone, but we do have another option available here that I think you'll find quite satisfactory.
00:03:37.000Why do you think you see it everywhere?
00:03:40.000And we're also going to be talking about The gas prices and the state of the economy because, I don't know if you know, former Vice President Biden complained that he wasn't getting great coverage, and all of it changed, and now all coverage is slightly more enamored than before.
00:06:24.000But Saturday, if you're in Dallas or Fort Worth and you need some presents, or your kids need some presents, Santa Crowder's going to be spending a few hours with kids, delivering some presents and letting them sit on the old knee.
00:11:33.000It's destroying the world and we're just slowly letting it... this is now the second year in a row that I... oh just... Well here's the thing too!
00:11:50.000Because then people are just gonna see clips and they're gonna see me say Omnicron and I'm like, why does Steven not know what he's talking about?
00:12:36.000So, the Omicron variant, when you think about this, and all references will be available at LatterEarthCounter.com, we'll do a whole segment on it tomorrow, is, okay, they are now saying that it outcompetes the Delta variant.
00:12:47.000So basically it's going to, they're projecting, wipe out the Delta variant, it's far more transmissible, and as far as I know, no deaths yet.
00:13:02.000Something that wipes out the other variants which had the absolutely just devastating mortality rate of 0.3% and now it's less than that and people don't even get bad symptoms and it's guaranteed to be the variant that you catch sometime in the next... I mean, when do you have Omicron parties?
00:14:05.000When the second there was a pandemic, I just went and bought a bunch of Everclear Mohawk, the 180 proof liquor, because I know it could turn into hand sanitizer.
00:14:11.000I knew if crap went down, I could use it for trading.
00:14:14.000Also, if I was a drunk or I had a drunk who had some valuable stuff that I wanted from him, I could use it.
00:14:22.000I'm sorry, I'm going off the rails, but remember early on they were saying, don't try and make sanitizer that can't be made at home with home liquor.
00:14:53.000You have to dilute it to make it effective.
00:14:56.000And they were just lying to people saying, don't try and make it at home.
00:14:59.000How about you be accurate and say, it needs to be 60% alcohol?
00:15:02.000They just told people, don't try and make it at home so that then we can use this reinvestment act to get distilleries on board to make it for you to do exactly what you could have done at home.
00:15:11.000But that was one of the ways that they lost her trust early on, and then they wonder why people don't trust them when stuff like this happens, where... A year and a half later.
00:15:18.000Yeah, the Omicron variant is out there and it's like, oh my gosh, everybody, like the UK was thinking about locking down, other countries locked down, and it's like, but it's doing nothing.
00:18:33.000If there were any doubt, like, I don't think, you know, Sodom and Gomorrah, even if the guy were to... If Sodom and Gomorrah were to turn back, and if they didn't turn into a pillar of salt, it'd be like, is that a guy brushing a skunk head?
00:19:06.000Well, we've actually obtained exclusive footage now from Went Up Saturday of this pansexual furry's journey to space, and a lot of people didn't know that they're allowed to bring passengers, so there's a plus one.
00:25:44.000So, Chris Cuomo, here's the thing, in 2019, this isn't just, like, the producer's short.
00:25:49.000That's, okay, you can say anyone can make it through screening, I guess.
00:25:51.000You know, I mean, especially at the CIA.
00:25:53.000But, you know, Chris Cuomo himself said that we shouldn't be concerned Now when we're talking about Epstein, you gotta stick to what is common sense on these things, alright?
00:26:08.000Don't get buried in legalese, don't follow the finger pointing, and please don't get caught up in the intrigue of who has been friends with this guy.
00:28:15.000And his wife was also in one of Epstein's address books.
00:28:19.000So you've got Chris Cuomo hanging out with him, going to movie premieres with him, two months after he's been released, his wife is in the address books, and he's telling you live on air, let's not worry about who may or may not have spent Thanksgiving with them.
00:30:21.000No, I was gonna say, like, do you think... So, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop with more information.
00:30:26.000I have no idea what it is, but you've made a pretty compelling case here that we might see something else come out that's much, much worse.
00:30:32.000Look, and I will say, there is more with Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein than just that picture.
00:33:04.000Washington DC, you could add that there.
00:33:06.000When you talk about the rape, the sexual assault, you look at the casting couches, you look at the most powerful people in the industry, There is a disproportionate percentage of people who are sexual deviants.
00:33:17.000It exists in the entertainment industry, and they want you to believe this is the gaslighting.
00:33:58.000And when it was in Dallas in like 2011, when they had a snowstorm come through, they said that that actually pretty much cut most of it out because we had ice for the first time in Dallas in a long time.
00:34:08.000What, those sex slaves couldn't brave the cold?
00:35:13.000No, and this also ties back to the pansexual furry in space.
00:35:15.000Look, when you, and I had someone describe this to me, and I want to get to the gas prices in a little bit, and I want to get to the economy and the lies from the media, more so about how the media is lying to carry the water for former Vice President Biden.
00:35:27.000But I had someone I asked, who was actually more conservative, lesbian.
00:35:33.000And I asked this person, I said, look, can I just ask you, I'm kind of confused.
00:36:45.000Once you break down any kind of norms, Once you say it's all the same, now the pedophile, the MAP is the term they're trying to use now, Minor Attracted Person.
00:36:54.000Well, there's an equivalency between that and pansexual furry.
00:36:58.000So in one instance, they're normalizing pansexual furry going to space, but then some people are still trying to say, but this is a bridge too far with the producer at CNN.
00:37:11.000Why is one Beyond the pale, and one totally okay because they dress in a costume and identify as male, female, and are bisexual, gay, lesbian, or straight, depending on the day.
00:37:23.000There is no longer even a thread of logic and there's no longer a thread of natural rights at this point that man and woman go together.
00:37:33.000I mean, do you understand that these things are all related?
00:37:35.000You can't just totally break down the barriers of normality.
00:37:39.000Oh, by the way, remember safe sex, healthy sex?
00:38:42.000You would be more offended at someone like me, the left, the liberals watching right now, you'd be more offended at someone like me commentating on the news than a pedophile running it.
00:39:38.000Yet according to the media, this man, and we wonder why the media is... I noticed a shift where they're trying to say, ah, Biden's not getting fair coverage.
00:39:46.000They believe he's the most persecuted person behind Gandhi, Jesus, Joan of Arc, and pansexual furries.
00:39:54.000It started out, for Biden, fairly favorable coverage the first few months of the year.
00:39:58.000The last four months, however, Biden has been... Looks like the guy from House with an abscess.
00:40:03.000...where Donald Trump was, or lower than where Donald Trump is, in terms of media sentiment.
00:40:08.000It's not bias, it's the actual words we're using.
00:40:50.000More on Biden while he was also diminishing Trump at the same time.
00:40:54.000The good thing is we have the tale of the tape here.
00:40:57.000All references available, link in the description, lotorthcreditor.com.
00:41:01.000Of course, they were all very cordial towards President Trump, remember?
00:41:05.000The question a lot of people are asking, although a lot of people think they have the answer, is, is the president a racist?
00:41:11.000That dossier alleged that Russians had a so-called pee tape of prostitutes that Trump had paid to urinate on each other and his bed in a Russian hotel suite.
00:42:05.000Yeah, you watch Breaking Bad and he's like, ah, what happens if you flip the thing over?
00:42:08.000If we were to do an MRI, they put him into the MRI machine, he'd come out of that tube like, it's nothing but fat turtles on their backs, what are you doing Anderson?
00:42:14.000It's nothing, it's just, I can't see anything but the obese turtle!
00:42:17.000He just saw a stelter slip on a wet floor.
00:42:35.000So here's what's funny is Biden must have agreed that he wasn't getting good enough treatment from the media cronies because he sent out a team, allegedly, to persuade newsrooms to give him better coverage.
00:42:45.000So this comes from Oliver Darcy, one of the worst people in media by the way, and he wrote, the White House, not happy with the news media's coverage of the supply chain and economy, has been working behind the scenes trying to reshape coverage In its favor.
00:46:05.000Here's Jim Cramer saying that Joe Biden has created the strong... This guy, by the way, someone just needs to... Can we get Gallagher to hit his head with a mallet?
00:50:03.000And this reminds me, too, a lot of you may not remember this, so this, a lot of people now will be saying, oh, I'm seeing CNN, like Joe Rogan just said this recently, like, I feel like CNN used to be facts, and now, no, look, I remember when this man, Andrew Breitbart, I sat under him, under his tutelage, and at this point in time, it was actually from a Slate writer, to give them credit, but Andrew Breitbart really brought it to the forefront, under the Obama era, there was something called Journalist, was the scandal.
00:50:27.000It was actually this group of journalists who conspired on how to attack John McCain's campaign after he chose Sarah Pailin as VP, and they were sort of sending out talking points, people from the Obama campaign.
00:50:38.000You guys can read about it at loudearthquieter.com.
00:50:40.000This is back during the Obama campaign, so pre-2009 to be clear.
00:50:45.000People who were involved, Ezra Klein, you know, Vox, Matt Iglesias, Jeffrey Toobin, Apparently he had more time on his hands.
00:52:49.000It just goes to show you how out of touch the media was back then.
00:52:54.000And I think this all really came to a head for people.
00:52:56.000We really started to see this happen with Obama.
00:52:59.000We started to see the media just praise and praise and praise and praise, and I think that's one of the things that motivated Donald Trump to say, look, you guys have to see this.
00:53:06.000If you don't see this, you won't have a country.
00:53:08.000This was one of his primary messages, like, you're being lied to on a daily basis.
00:55:12.000No, but I was watching and it's like it's Denzel Washington, Angelina Jolie, and I was like, oh yeah, no one cared about the race thing then.
00:55:29.000They'd be forcing all the stuff together, and it's like, this is a movie of a completely mixed demographic, but it was just who was best for the role.
00:55:50.000Well, he's a paraplegic in the movie, so now it would be wrong not- Which is absolutely heartbreaking because he can no longer have sex with felt rabbits.
00:57:51.000This is Trevor Noah now speaking of the media.
00:57:54.000This all just happens to be taking place right after the former vice president reached out to media saying, hey, could you give us better coverage?
00:58:01.000So Trevor Noah is now saying that the only reason for the high fuel prices, but I just thought that Don Lemon said, fuel prices are really low!
00:58:11.000Now Trevor Noah is saying, well, actually they're high, but it's because, and insert whatever BS excuse here, because there's not enough to meet the post-pandemic demand.
00:58:23.000One of the reasons gas prices are so high is because America is making less gas than it did before the pandemic.
00:58:29.000Because people may be driving again, but that doesn't mean that it's easy for gas producers to just instantly produce as much as they were before.
00:58:37.000You gotta grow a whole new dinosaur and then smoosh it until the oil comes out.
01:01:45.000Admonish them back there, quarterback.
01:01:51.000And by the way, a lot of people don't understand, like you say, you make everything a human right, or you just, you know, UBI, or you just give people cash handouts.
01:01:57.000That's a big reason, by the way, that everything is becoming more expensive.
01:02:00.000If you have people, for example, you know, um, and this is overlay L1 there, uh, token island.
01:02:05.000Cash handouts artificially decreases a worker surplus, increases demand, and so then they have to pay more.
01:02:14.000And people say, well, why don't you pay a living wage?
01:02:15.000Look, it's no longer even about $15 an hour, because you can get a $15 an hour job anywhere in this country at this point, so long as you have...
01:03:09.000The more you convince them that they cannot do anything without you, the more you convince them that they need you, and you do it for a long enough amount of time.
01:03:17.000And just like if you have an abusive relationship, an abusive spouse, who cuts out friends, who, oh, I don't like this person because they're giving you a different opinion, if you cut out On Facebook, on Twitter, on YouTube, on Google, of course, on all of mainstream media.
01:03:30.000People who say, actually, this isn't good.
01:05:53.000In this case, it's not nuance, it's just the aggregation here of facts.
01:05:57.000All of these are relevant because if you just look at it in a vacuum and say gas prices are, well, they're good, they're the best in a month is Tom Lemons.
01:06:04.000When you say gas prices are bad, that doesn't tell the whole story.
01:06:06.000You look at prices for everything is bad.
01:08:23.000So here's the thing, even if you believe that everyone should be driving their Priuses, which by the way is a shitty car, it's like riding a shopping cart with batteries, and I don't know when everyone and anyone who cannot drive had a meeting behind our backs and decided you were going to drive in a Prius, but we give you at least two lanes of swath because of how awful you are.
01:08:42.000So I don't care if you drive your Prius, I don't care if you use one square, Right, like Sheryl Crow, where after you've wiped your ass you look like a mechanic who's been working in the shop for 20 hours a day.
01:08:55.000I don't care if you do all of those things, we're still using oil at this point in time in history.
01:09:02.000You think we're better off getting it?
01:09:05.000From across the globe, where by the way they have to come over on tanks, and the BP oil spill is nothing compared to the spills that happen every single year on these barges, just to be clear.
01:09:15.000You just don't know about them because they often happen in the middle of the ocean.
01:09:17.000Not to mention a lot of these countries don't have the same EPA standards that we have here.
01:09:20.000But mainly, the most important thing, I don't give a rat's ass if every seagull on the shore bathes itself in Crisco, for all I care.
01:09:30.000I want cheap gas energy and I want it to be made here in the United States.
01:09:36.000One of the best reasons is because we're getting a lot of it right now from, let's see, really nice world players like Russia, who every time we give them more money seems to take over another country.
01:10:02.000So Biden's first day, first day, killed the Keystone XL pipeline, just to be clear.
01:10:08.000That would have brought 800,000 barrels of oil per day.
01:10:11.000Also suspended more drilling leases in Alaska.
01:10:14.000So keep in mind, this is in the context of the United States was a net exporter of oil in 2019 for the first time ever.
01:10:19.000That's better for everyone in the world, by the way.
01:10:22.000Biden lifted However, contrasting with what he did with our own pipelines, lifted sanctions on Russia's Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which by the way makes them a key player and of course emboldens them as it relates to Ukraine and that whole sort of geopolitical, I don't know what you'd call it, brouhaha, hootenanny, whatever you want to say.
01:10:42.000You know, in other words, look, what does it take for you to realize that this is political expediency?
01:10:48.000You can't say, okay, we want to reduce our dependency on any sort of fossil fuels and petroleum, so we're going to ban all these pipelines in the United States, we're going to stop this, we're going to stop fracking, which is cleaner, which is safer, but we're going to open it up for Russia abroad.
01:11:05.000I would have more respect for him if he tried to play, but the issue is he's a bully.
01:11:41.000It would require that you actually have some balls, bite down on the mouthguard, and swing for something that matters.
01:11:47.000It is because this administration, they are cowardly in the face of international intimidation, and they are bullies when it comes to the American middle class.
01:13:46.000You've already punished the energy that would be required to make them.
01:13:49.000Why do you think Elon Musk, effectively the George Washington of the electric vehicle, left California, where these policies exist, to go to Texas?
01:14:00.000How are you going to build the electric cars?
01:14:03.000I think I'm going to be an electric car mechanic, because all I have to do is go, yep, it's your battery.
01:14:42.000We're just, we're not there yet, and all of the innovations that have actually taken place as it relates to cleaner energy have been in the private sector, not at the end of the barrel of a government gun.
01:16:37.000Well, and by the way, there are quite a few companies that have to give some nice political contributions to make sure that they stay in favor.
01:18:04.000OK, he could stop printing cash to reduce the crazy massive inflation right off the bat while we're talking about gas prices with the average American.
01:18:11.000Roll back industry-crippling regulations, okay?
01:18:14.000He could allow us to tap into untapped reserves, and he could, at the very least, allow us to have access to our own energy reserves and pipelines.
01:18:22.000Those things would help, and the reason I say this, maybe we could get to the point of being a net exporter of oil, because for the first time in our recorded history, we did that under President Donald Trump, and we had record low gas prices, when you look at them for history, their point in history.
01:18:39.000By the way, if he has no magic wand that he can do anything about gas prices, you cannot, Don Lemon, go out and say the president has done a great job of bringing down gas prices, even though you're lying about how far they've come.
01:19:26.000People who live in rural America or even suburban America, and some of them work blue-collar jobs or have a large amount of people to transport, minivans, full-size SUVs, pickup trucks.
01:19:37.000We don't all live in a giant cesspool of filth and sadness that is San Francisco and drive smart cars.
01:19:52.000Yeah, or if you buy a car that's used because it's what you can afford, like let's say to go to your job, most of them are going to be gas guzzling cars because they're older cars that you can afford.
01:22:41.000If you were to cut that to half, yikes, half, That would make a huge difference for Quebecers, I was about to say Americans, for Quebecers at the pump.
01:22:52.000So this was, I remember actually going like, Dad, what's that?
01:22:55.000He's like, well, politicians are assholes, son.
01:22:59.000And when you go here to Esso, that was like our Exxon, he was like, when you go here to Esso or Petro-Canada, they want you to blame this guy here pumping the gas, but really it's them.
01:23:08.000It's a pie chart that says sorry, not sorry.
01:23:30.000Look, and this is something I think a lot of people, if you're a new conservative, to be led by the nose and go, oh, evil oil companies.
01:23:36.000And to be fair, they do provide a lot of kickbacks to government.
01:23:40.000And there are a lot of financial incentives for the big oil companies, not everyone in energy.
01:23:44.000I just want a fair playing field at this point.
01:23:47.000And I want Americans to be able to do As good of a job as they possibly can, not only at work, but as a father, as a mother, as a husband.
01:23:59.000It's hard to do when everything is increasingly expensive and your rights just keep getting whittled and whittled and whittled and whittled and whittled away.
