I learned about “crowding out” in Econ 101. It was taught as a fact that government spending harms private investment if I am remembering correctly
Can Sam speak more about the “contrivance” he associates with RFK jr’s vaccine denialism? Because that term is loaded.
The crew should have had more time off. Prerecord more, or something. IDK. IDC. Left is best. The end.
I went to highschool in Virginia and Monticello was a field trip for government class and it was…. Interesting… They didn't tackle the slavery angle maybe as hard as they should, but also didn't avoid the fact that he enslaved his own kids after raping their mother's. It was presented very matter of fact without much sensitivity or room for discussion.
I find the discussion you're having about student loans particularly strange because if mohela is the aggrieved party in the case and they're claiming that they're going to lose money on it… Quite literally, when the pause was put in place from during the pandemic lockdown, the federal government moved the entirety of my subsidized and unsubsidized loan balance that I have been paying on since 2006 over to mohala rather than leaving it with where it was which was federal loan servicing… Essentially, I was informed that the entity I had to work with was changed only in anticipation for the restoration of payments, I'd never heard of them before and had no idea why they were calling me so I never answered the phone, only did after I also got a letter in the mail. That just makes me wonder Just how many of the loans moved at that same time as mine did, because if that's the case, how were they even possibly losing money on that? I took full advantage of the payment pause and have not made a single payment towards that company and they only very recently contacted me again after months of silence so you can't argue that they're actually doing any service on the thing… It seems like a sham move.
Seriously? Trump's running mate?

Look at this guy trying to advertise after Tim pool said he doesn’t know how to run getting advertisement accounts HAHAH 😂
David Dayen helps me retain my hope for a sane economic world- thanks Sam and Emma for the dose!
Don't get your hopes up. The neoliberal trope will be propped up forever. Right next to the rotting, gibbeted corpses of anyone who tries to subvert it.
It almost looked to me as if Sam had on a yarmulke when he turned to his right. Just a visual illusion.
Emma's right about slavery being papered over at Monticello. I was very young (7yo) when I visited but the tour was all about Jefferson's inventions and innovations in the house. Not a whisper that there were slaves on the place.
Cluster bombs are banned in 120 countries. International law forbids the use of them. Biden has to go.
RFK Jr. is very difficult to listen to IMO.
Abolish the court
As a neo n myself, gotta say great show
Watching a full one of these after only watching Majority Report clips for years is so fucking weird. It feels like finally seeing an episode of Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger after being a Power Rangers enjoyer as a lad.
Hey Sam I'm a fan of yours and smart sexy lady. I am not from the Middle East but always troubling when I see reports of Israeli injustice of Palestinians. We give at least over 2 billion per year assistance and they act like South Africa apartheid. There is skewed coverage in US. How does this happen when Israel was created for Jewish people fleeing horrific injustice!
Sam, why don’t you call out corporate Democrats in the same way you call out Republicans. I am a lifelong Democrat, and I am sick to death of Democrats in Congress who are accountable to pharmaceutical companies and banks.
Free Palestine
Whenever someone on the right-wing starts praising RFK jr. I bring up his recent dinner in Las Vegas with Hillary Clinton, Mike Pompeo and Larry Summers — they sputter and don't know what to say.
A badai (sp?) Is going to get a little harder to keep when the water wars start
Beanie fan boy here!
This channel sucks! You need better sponsors.
In 2007, I was working for an independent media outlet in BKN & we did a ton of work w/ The River Keepers & I knew RFK Jr through that. Even back then, we eventually stopped working w/ him because of his insane anti-vax stances.
-War in Darfur (26 feb 2003 – 31 ago 2020): 300.000 deaths
-The U.S. post-9/11 wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those countries. As of September 2021, an estimated 387,073 civilians in these countries have died violent deaths as a result of the wars.
-Ukraine war (500 days): 600.000 deaths
Btw why she came to the Tim Pool's program to convince the right about the goodness and benignity of war in Ukraine?
Why you're deleting my comments?
I'm just telling you to watch the few videos i picked up in my channel
What’s sad is slave owners would rape and procreate with their women slaves and sell their children without any shame. Thomas Jefferson is still highly regarded in spite of his immortality.
The wickedness had a greed chattel slavery was so great it is really incomprehensible to most decent people.
That Jefferson started having sex with Sally Hemmings when she was 12 years old he had six children by her and he enslaved all six of them. I don’t think we can even comprehend this wickedness American chattel slavery and the only reason the Monticello staff even began to admit to any type of relationship from Sally Hemmings, now is that her descendants proved the connection through DNA evidence from Jefferson’s hair.
Prior to that she (a living descendent,) would attend reunions with other descendants of Thomas Jefferson, and nobody would give her the time of day as far as believing her family’s oral history. The enslavement of actual children of slaveowners was pervasive and not unique. They weren’t treated as children they were treated as slaves and we’re not eligible for inheritance of land or wealth all the toiled on that land, their entire life. And had absolutely no rights and could legally whipped or be deleted. Unfettered capitalism at it’s finest.
