First, days Europe utility believed there is nothing one man, one woman do again.
Enormous array of the world deal against misery against ignorance or injustice and violet. It is from numerous numberless, diverse acts of courage. Such is the belief that human history, it does shape each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice. He sent for a tiny ripple of and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and dairy those ripples build a current. Can we down the mightiest ball of oppression and resistance.

June seventh looking back June six Joe and those two major events moving forward to Rio Ike's words still overlaid with the images of the young men who fought went up the cliff Save normally an and marched. Is like said March, towards freedom. the three men of the world are marching towards liberating a continent from nazi tyranny? Better say there too I was there to them more moving times and time on the sixty fifth anniversary, I think talking to
those young men who, by that time, their seventies, some early eighties, remembering those times in an aura of k, we always remember June the sexes the day Bobby passed away tragically, but was also the day two years before to the date that he was in South Africa delivered? speed said still inspires today. As you said, a speed said still speaks to Us these years later. That, of course, meagre He his memory still alive and well his spirit still alive and well maidens, nation that he provides millions of Americans still very much real and with us today. I am also maker, I gotta say there's a third event that happened on June, the six as well. Isn't there s? Yes, it is my daughters.
I think that's what you're talking about that. I am here, is twice Three. If you can believe that, I cannot believe that with us. We have wide, as Rapporteur for the Associated Press, Jonathan Le Maire, author of the wash has to early morning newsletter power up Jackie Albania's with us and founder of the conservative website the bulwark and offer of how the right lost its mind, Charlie Sykes, it's good to have you all on board this morning? Will you- and if you don't, Jonathan Wellmere, he would tell you there was a poor thing that happened, but we're we're not going to include a red Sox, weaving Yankees in end, those those other areas- Jonathan Omair, I mean not to are off in terms of historical importance, but Joel civility. start by being serious by saying, I was also a Dj Normandy two years ago for the seventy five
Firstly, that battle when President Tromp was There- and I was part of the press- will cover that journey. It was beyond powerful. Both my grandfather others were, will were true veterans. They both served in Europe. One of them had three purple hearts. He liked to save you. me, Tom everything, except to learn how to dock to be to see the rose in rows of crosses and the sacrifice all those american young men made. A truly breathtaking, even so long later, and certainly as someone who grew up Massachusetts with pictures of he's on the walls are of key words. Always carried great weight. I know, is a political hero to so many people And yes, I will just note that, of course, that was a pretty satisfying weekend in rocks as well. For the old town tat, we All of that in mind. Democratic senator Joe Mansion of West Virginia will vote against one of his party's proposed federal voting rights bills.
I think, there's a lot of great things. I agree and that piece of legislation, but there's an A lot of things are basically dont pertain directly to voting some just to put a button. You will vote against that bell. If it gets to the Senate, flew. I think it's wrong piece of legislation to bring our country together, unite our country and I'm not supporting that, because I think it would divide is further. Anna yesterday centre dimension, wrote in part quote the right to vote, as our fundamental is fundamental to our american democracy in protecting that right should not be about party or politics least, of all, protecting this which is a value I share, should never be done in a partisan manner. Of course, some My party have argued that now is the time Discard such by partisan voting reforms and embrace election, forms and policy so always supported by one party. Respectfully I not agree. I believe that power
in voting legislation will destroy the already weakening binds of our democracy and for reason I will vote against they, for the people ACT furthermore not vote to weaken or eliminate the filibuster. It is my Sincere hope that all of us, especially those who are privileged to serve, remember our responsibility to do more to night this country before, It's too late. So what's the strategy, their job do believe by giving suburbia what's and escalation says like what we said last week about the Philippines, Joe mansion is the one that's taking this the slings and arrows right now from the left, but there are a lot of members of the United States Senate that don't want to get rid of the filibustering, Does it serve them well and their state to say so publicly? It serves Joe Mansion well, but on AIDS,
why we ve been saying of the show for some time that age are one was not going to pass. I think it surprise allotted will that we said it and also talked about how again Democrats in the Senate said there there a lot of extraneous material and bear the didn't deal direct with the challenges of what's phase This democracy right now that there was a democratic wish list attached to it. That was directly related again to the challenges, Democrats and a real that that America's facing. If you State by state and look at some of the legislation, that's actually allowing legislatures possibly overturn election results- and you know him Actually the New York Times Editorial Board, I'm not so sure it's is popular. Virginia jail. Mansion, probably not to popular with many Europe, against right in
material Friday entitled Congress needs to defend vote, counting, not just folk casting the new year. Times Editorial Board wrote this at HR wine, Democrats, income, aggressive crafted an election bill age or one that is poorly man to the moment, legislation. Attempts to accomplish more than is currently feasible or threatening. We address some of the clear its threats to democracy, especially the prospect that, Officials will seek to overturn the will of voters, and that is that the real danger and these pieces of legislation feel it Georgia, if you look in an end in taxes where were there able to overturn the will of voters in a catch all Fraser, then that's your problem because as the New York Times goes on and says there is little chance of it- pass in its current form Democrats face a clear choice. They can wade's. What might
is symbolic and largely doom fight for all this. And as they would like, or they can confront the acute ices at hand by crafting a more focused bill and it goes on and on. I recommend that you read it big job than a mere. This is a sort of a night so well kept secret on the hill for quite some time that not only mentioned, but other Democrats did not like age or that it was too expansive. It was to claw, hey. There was too much thrown into it. It was too much of a wish list that was ever going to get fifty votes, let alone sixty votes. In January, there have been sure wish resign. The scenes that emerged, the for fun more loudly in recent weeks is rarely mentioned, are bad sort of for the situation mark on it in terms of HIV one, and there are still some hope that the Jean Louis ACT, which you have some democratic, said all along should in sequence. First would have some momentum that there's some possibility there, the common ground can we
each than that could be something there could be pushed into law. Later this summer, but it's not just on voting rights. Also, the filibuster mansion has someone lets his. Shall we say he is not unhappy with the attention He recognizes it is politically good for him to being westwards to be seen. someone who says no at times to both parties, Republicans and Democrats, and when he saw he well aware that a law Democrats are very fresh, him, even though he votes with Democrats more than not but his sir to Charles Humor and set menorah majority leader, and others is simply. This won't you're either gonna get me from West Virginia we're gonna get whether replaces me and that's not gonna, be a Democrat. The they are being that he's a Democrat who can win in that deep red states are therefore you have to compromise with which he has taken the exam,
of setting a robber bird, the legendary West Virginia Senator, who really believed in the rules of the Senate. That has helped in four mentions belief on the filibuster, but he's not alone he's wealthy he's willing to be served at the forefront of the figure head. Of this movement, even among democrats do not change, or at least not eliminate the filibuster. But there are others quietly have the same reservations in there is not any certainty whatsoever that there are. There is enough. The poor, even just among Democrats, forget Republicans and to have such a phenomenon. change to such a piece of of Santa tradition, and that is something the White House it looks to put forward. Its agenda is gonna have to grapple with Joe mansion is also a key vote. If any infrastructure bill is going to pass and he remains confident, a bipartisan deal is possible. I commend the president and centre capital, my colleague from West Virginia for continued work hard. They working hard, try
to find a compromise. They ve come a long way. I still have all the conference in a world Chris we're going to get there Mr Mccartin, the of the Republicans in the Senate says that he's a hundred per cent, focused on blocking the by an agenda question. Aren't you being naive about this continuing talk about by partisan cooperation? being naive. I think he's a hundred percent wrong in trying to block all the good things that were trying to do for America. We a lot better if we participation and we're getting participation. I want to continue to keep working with my bipartisan friends and hopefully get more of them. Jackie Ella Many a what is Joe mentions Calculus here, That's something! I think that, because democratic peers are still trying to figure out at sea, refuses, You acknowledge the reality of what Miss Mcconnell has explicitly set, which is just this pass. My than May saying that he is his focus is one hundred percent
August on stopping the priorities of the EU. Administration, and I think that's the frustration. We're going to continue to see from Democrats in a more public sense of frustration with mansion that he's not so much. It has substantive policy issues, The Bible priorities, but that he is married to This idea of bi partisanship even during the interview with Chris Wallis, he very vaguely too about his issues with HR one but really His biggest issue was that there isn't a single Republican that has signed onto the piece of legislation. I think that there would be more willingly to accept, mentions point of view from the democratic caucus if he was providing substantive feedback The policy changes that he wanted, but we, have really yet to see that in terms of infrastructure, you know that has been some by movement. Here, Joe Biden is going to be meeting with us and are more capital, this afternoon noon, ever going to try
continue to hammer out at an infrastructure deal right in his signified openness to slimming down his original package and Republicans have increase the number that they put forward but I think it back chasm between actually getting a deal is far greater than people realise at the moment. Because Joe Biden has said that he wants all infrastructure investment to new to represent new federal investments, while Republicans what counts, it's as new in the infrastructure proposal they put forward is only three hundred billion, the total nine hundred billion spending. So I think that you know that by partisan efforts are there by a really remains to be seen whether you know in our negotiations in good faith. All along with Democrats is while Jackie thank you Donald Trump
one time, twenty, sixteen campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, conceded over the weekend that Donald Trump lost election, they trump loyalist so dismissed. Reports that tromp has been telling people that he expects to be reigns aid as president this summer Lewandowski, admitted that it's not legally possible and says that target has not come up during his many conversations with Trump in recent months. Meanwhile, new emails show that in the last week's the Trump administration, then chief of staff Mark meadows pushed the Department of Justice to investigate spare received theories about the election that revelation according to need. New York Times report shows Meadows repeatedly asked acting attorney, General Jeffrey rose and turn look and claims of fraud in the twenty twenty election. One email requested the Deo J, investigate a fantastical theory that people in ITALY had used
military technology and satellites to remotely tamper with voting machines in the U S and switch votes for trumped votes for Joe Biden. That times reports, none of the emails show rose and agreeing to open. The investigation suggested by those and former officials and people close to him, said that he did not do What's bringing the author of that Report Justice Department report for the New York Times, Katy better she's also an MSNBC contributor Katy. What more You tell us, and- and I mean are there any laws broken here and now, show that we saw laws broken. We definitely some policies violated. It's the justice department. Contacts policy with the White House is very clear. Here then, when it comes to matters of enforcement, Noah the White House really, except perhaps what has council is supposed to be talking to the attorney general that just permanent, and that has in order to keep it from seeming like or keep it from being in reality attempt by the way,
to use investigations and to use enforcement as political cudgels against enemies or as political tactics, for example, to try to legitimize a conspiracy theory that president, president. Trump won the election, so you saw that policy very clearly violated here, and then you also sign it. By the way has to legitimize through the Justice Department, some pretty crazy. conspiracy theories, which is interesting because there was a sense at the end of the frustration within the White House as people scrambled to find a way to say that they want. That would be key the Justice Department to somehow uses authority, to bless these theories and to bless these tactics and say that there was a chance when the just one already determined there was none that there is a chance. The trumpet one carry meadows denied ever sending these which a response to his denial. I
here that you deny them all I have been told vaguely was that he might not have remembered them, but the problem is that they are in possession of Esther for that and the Senate, so I'm not sure how that denial squares with them with Congress possession of his email, with reality, actually he's Charlie and, of course, their works. It disconnects Charlie with reality, obviously inside the White House, a huge disconnect and my guide american democracy but thread. It would be pretty funny that an idiot chief of staff was actually pushing. We gave a conspiracy theory that satellite sitting man from ITALY came over and changed enough balance to elect a president right away by the way. Anyway,
that re ran. A lane applies a Sunday New York Times. Cover story about the GEO, be in Texas, knows now at last marked people pupil in ITALY, gate and yet here? We are actually going to straighten out vehicles. Make is gonna get mad at me, Charlie free. I'm exhorted her laughing at the beginning of this question because it really so damn dangerous that these people were actually controlling the lever of powers in the last several months of the Trump administration yeah, about what we're talking about here Joe. We are talking about the chief of staff to the present the United States in the final days of the prison trying to find a way to overturn a presidential election. My bracing some of the most bizarre conspiracy theories. You can imagine what words fail
but I'm not run out. I've wouldn't needed get back of the Azores delusional deranged crazy. This is the Republicans. Do loop of crazy, our continent, that every time you think you come up with that idea, just two lunatic what happens? Is you find out that the president, United States himself is embracing it and then he spreads it out and other people feel the need to act and so here we are on this Monday morning- we're talking about you're the possibility of ITALY Gate the President apparently and spend time musing about the possibility of being reinstatement, and we actually have explained or say by the way. I know you happy reinstated as president in August I mean really. We are talking about this we're talking about this. Because these crazy notions have been circulating in the White House in the Republican Party, and you know as in eyes, I've said Joe just because an eye
is fake and ludicrous not mean that it is not dangerous. Millions of people believe this creating more anger, more outrage and it can fuel the kinds of things that we saw on January sick. So it's not just one big lie: it's the big lie, metastasized the new forms- and they can be a very dangerous to american democracy. It's the russian firehouse falsehood, which is a very deliberate attempt test and so many lies and the lies. Dont have to be consistent with each other that you can hear. whose you overwhelm and people like me, laugh at such ludicrous law. He's thinking. Nobody would be stupid enough to believe Well, actually tens of millions of people to believe. Them? Katy I wanted to just just so was so we can educate people. There
maybe just started a wide reaching news over the past five years. Younger Americans? Can you talk about that wall. There was Much is solid wall between white houses and the Justice Department in the past and the wall. Ways who is broken through It became huge news even on much smaller items in this. I always go back to ninety three during travel gate when one or two continents shows went over and talk to a Justice Department official about wording of a press release, my Republicans. You would have thought that it was Watergate too. It's just something that use as an app and but with the trumpet ministration All all restraint was done away with and there was a dangerous Mitt mixing of politics and and law time and time again, just setting point. Historically, since Watergate, there has
really strong, while put in place between the Justice Department, which is the nations top law enforcement agency and the White House. But we saw with Nixon's, he was using the Justice Department to win reelection. He was using the powers of the attorney general. The Tunisian was helping him and that was deep, very, very dangerous for her idea of reasons, not least of which, because it would a road, the american People's faith, that law enforcement. The law that the idea that we are all equal under the law was a longer something that we could believe in America, so safeguards are put in place. Primarily. This idea at the White House in the Justice Department would not work together. On something as serious as enforcement as prosecution. You did not want to seem like the just different was being used to grafter political enemies. more fast board the Trump era, and we saw a president who very clearly did not believe in having that ball. She believed that turning Jeff session should have stepped in and ended the rush investigation into his campaign in the investigation to Russia tossed up. He believed that Dunbar should help to more in terms of
hoping to win real action in terms of talking about things like voter fraud in terms of spreading fears that mail and ballots would end in fraud He really felt the justice Department should be his personal law firm and an entity that went after his enemy as we have also seen in myriad leak investigations at Houston after people like economic, Cape and James call me the former, the FBI we also followers enemies, so Trump did not only did it with that norm, he stated a new norm, keep in mind. We had for years a prompt us not just that heat trampled over arms. He kind of stated this new idea that it was ok to politicize law enforcement and national security and we're still living with the reverberations of that today. The fact that there are people who do not believe national security assessments over domestic exe wisdom and its root causes is part of that participation. In fact, that we have people who believe
conspiracy theories that were debunked by trumps on Justice Department by attorney junk farmer turning general billboard is a result of that participation. The fact that you can have a rally with Trump and he talks about the vaccine and says, takes credit for and people will not applied because they're so convinced not to believe in vaccines. That's also part of that participation, so we will have to deal with that for years to come, very well put Justice Department, a rapporteur for the New York Times, Katy better. Thank you very much, professor of three at Yale, Timothy Snyder puts forth this scenario about the twenty twenty two and twenty twenty four elections quote. I have the Cassandra feeling this spring because it is so obvious we're all of this is heading President trumpet was a big lie that elections are rent. This authorizes, m and others to seek power and extra democratic ways. The lie,
institutionalized by state legislation that suppresses voting, and that gives state legislatures themselves the right to decide how to allocate the electoral vote in presidential elections the scenario then goes like this, the Republicans win back House and Senate in twenty twenty two in part, thanks to voters, suppression, the republican CARE, that in twenty twenty four loses the popular both by several million and the electoral vote by margin of a few states state legislatures, I'm in fraud after the electoral count, vote, counting House and Senate, except that altered, count the losing candidate becomes the president. We no law or have democratically elected government. The big lie is designed not to win an election but to discredit one any candidate who, how's. It is alienating most Americans and prepare
a minority for a scenario where fraud is claimed. This is just what Trump tried and twenty when and it led to a coup attempt in January of twenty twenty one. It will be worse in January, of twenty twenty five Joe I this is chilling to me. What do you make of that work? I think it should be chilling there, everybody to report can see those Republicans who actually stood up or democracy on January, the sex than there were quite a few who voted to support like Super Democrats who are obviously very concerned where this is going, and Charlie, I will say, I have been- I think, have been far too far too dismissive over the past five years. That things could get is bad I could get I kept saying we will write the ship thing.
Going to go in the right direction. You look at the two thousand. Seventy two thousand eighteen, two dozen nineteen election results. It shows that the american people are going to have a check against this, but boy you're, look at twenty Twond in all of those Republicans that we were saying good for them, then the young guy up in Michigan that did the right thing. The report begins at Arizona that refuse to back down that that they actually said you know we lost the election, we ve counted the votes, there's no. All of those people have been purged by the Republican Party are certainly a lot of been purged and and TED it earlier everybody's, always talking about these specific provisions in the voting right bills about? Oh, you gotta start voting at one o clock, stead of known and there aren't gonna be as many drop that
That's not the stop there. Like steals elections. Democrats will figure out a way around that the parties to the writing poor that This makes it possible for those catch all phrases where suddenly the Secretary of State not in charge, and suddenly you see all these bills passing that that will give state legislatures power to go back actually reverse, if if they are of corrupt part and mind to reverse First, the election results and in twenty twenty four Why wouldn't really very much like to say that these concerns are paranoid and hysterical? But in fact I don't think that's that, but I don't think that's the case. I mean what we ve seen over the last four or five years is the way that the unthinkable becomes the thinkable, and irregular as you're, watching the Republican party morphing to go all this not attacking legitimate
Democracy is central now to Donald Frumps Politics. If you keep saying relevant getting back and offers, the Republican Party is either embracing it or looking the other way. So you know you ask This scenario that the Timothy Snyder lays out, which Republican you're going to stand up against that which Republicans are going to push back against that you name the ones that played a decisive role, in twenty twenty one, be around in twenty twenty five: will they be willing to stand up man over the weekend? The governor of Georgia was Boot the State Convention, the Secretary of State which it was censured. Everyone who did the right thing and the Republican Party is facing the possibility excommunication. So you keep that looking around going, walk at some point right. The grown up the party will stand up and they will push back against this. No, and I think that I've seen this again and again. Here's the other thing, if republicans convince themselves that the election was in fact still on the table
the big lie, then they will rationalizing justify any thing. The next time around. They will think that stealing the election. They will think that they are stealing it back and point you get into this loop. Were each party says all of our tactics are completely justifiable. My when referring to the Republicans, who clearly have decided that whatever do at state level is justified. way. I also think that you're exactly right to focus on this question of whether or not lead. Ledgers, can overturn the popular vote. That's the big flawed hr. One does not focus like a laser beam immediate, clear and present danger to the elections, and that's the issue that I think people ought to be asking. Would they be willing to overturn a clear verdict of them? orders to seize power again, and I think that that is not a crazy. That is not a far fetched scenario at this point: one internal
this is possible for one reason is possible because a lot of our friends, you, you and me a lot of my relatives a lot of our fellow travellers over our entire, though dot lifetime Lahti that we fought for small government, where that we fight to strengthen alliances against Russia and China, and a lot of these people now, and I talk to one man again: went to church where them for whole life, there they are, they're getting new sources from from. Can spirits, he websites across the globe from conspiracy websites across the globe, and they will Can we will what about this ITALY thing? What about you and valuable leave it and by the way these aren't local yokels these are people with. As I explained all the time advanced agrees that
that had no business majors, their hedge fund, peep all their lawyers, and yet there believing conspiracy websites and are willing to Pro democracy away over it continue to be amazed by this Joe. I mean it as long as we have seen it as long as many times as we have talked about it. That's why use that term that do loop of of crazy were you have an idea that is so bizarre that it may be it in the far reaching heavers swamp, and then somebody like my pillow guy, begins to advance it ain't here, your tempted role, your eyes and before you know it, the present, a united AIDS is or the former president I'd say, going well, maybe that's possible and other people say we were just asking questions and you begin to realise that millions of people believe this man. It doesn't matter what my pillow guy, diamond and silk or share of David Clark Thanks
the EU does even matter what Donald Trump thanks, if tens of millions of people think that Donald Trump is the legitimate president United States. We are in a dangerous, dangerous place, and so what? Whatever we thought was happening back and Twentys? Seventeen when we were worried about fake news are worried about this information. All of that has gotten worse and then I have to say that it is very difficult to cope with the question you around. What do you do when you have Normally savage savvy, intelligent, sophisticated people were going believe this sort of thing you know when the disease has gotten us. they're like like, got like a pandemic, a pandemic of crazy in it. We have. We have no treatment and a no no vaccine for such a good question Charlie Sykes. Thank you will continue to struggle.

Now, let's bring in former Times Official morning mourning Joe Economic analysed, Steve Ratner in tax policy expert, professor law, Emory University. Dorothy Brown. So she ran I'm looking these numbers- and here is contrast sit in striking job participation, more people looking for jobs fell last month, while job openings sword to historic heights? Explain those two things less people looking for jobs last month, despite the fact that job openings, our historic,
eyes why Jerry? You gave me a great led into my charts. We had a decent jobs number on Friday, not quite where people hoped for, but better, certainly that April, but. really brilliancy news is what you just pointed to, which has to labour force participation and job openings, and so what's happening, this economy, You can see in this chart on the left hand, side is that job people looking for work. Job seekers gradually before the pandemic and then, as you would expect it plummeted and then, as you I also expect that began to come back, but what was probably less logical or less expected was that it then stagnated bounced up and down that and that red circle with a little lying down as what you just alluded to, which is that the number of adult Africans? Looking for jobs? Jobs actually fell by a little bit last month and then you, trash that what the charge on the right, which our job openings and you can see
a pattern. You'd expect economy was doing, ok, jobs or job openings array We high collar me falls off a cliff job. Openings plummet, economies, ouch reopen job operating openings come back and now they have soared over. and a half million that is in time record number of job openings in this country. I cannot tell you: how do you explain that? How do you explain that less people are looking for jobs? while we have record job openings while- a variety of explanations show and is like everything that goes on these days. It seems to become somewhat politicized. One explanations, the effect of the three dollars a week of extra unemployment insurance that many merits you're. Getting other people say that there are child care issues. There are public health issues. Some baby boomers types have this it simply to retire from the labour force, leave the labour force depressing the size of the labour force. This is gonna, be fruitful study for economists.
For a very long time, but let me show you what the impact of all that is to be on wages, so this looks just Luke our wages and leisure, and hospitality among our lowest paid among our lowest paid profession. And you can say that it was auto trend line to continue to grow a co op from about one thousand, four hundred and fifty to fifteen dollars an hour right before the pandemic, and then you can see a dotted kind of appellation aware would have gone in a normal world. Then the Pandemic Hats Surprisingly, wages for businesses lay off a lot of people higher and higher fewer people higher at lower prices, or they simply cut pay. So ages bounce along along the bottom. And then you have this. phenomenon of a lot of of a lot of of openings and not so many people looking for the jobs and so on fourth business to ways their wages and now in a situation where, for a hotel work or for a bar worker, restaurant work or not all them, obviously, but on average they are now.
receiving wages and about sixteen dollars an hour just under six dollars an hour which is about where they would have been in all likelihood. Had the economy just stayed on present on present course and speed, and the big question is: will Try to pass these costs along. This is great for workers, let's not kid ourselves, great for workers. is what we want to see happen for workers, but it does add, cost for visas and we'll business pass. These crossover or well, they absorb them. and one other interesting phenomenon. I want to show you on the politics of all this, because it's pretty amazing, so this shows every state based on who the governor S, where the governor is a republican or or a Democrat, and in every state in which a Republican is the governor, except for Mass
sure system for mine. We can argue about how much you, how republic of those states are anyway, every single republican state, except those two has decided to eliminate the extra unemployment benefits before the September early September, export expiration, every blue state, blue, governor blue state. Has not decided to do that. Another just keeping the three hundred dollars a week until it expires at least for now. September. So this is like many things in life today. This does not become We cannot pass it's a matter of almost become full political philosophy. that's all over we're going to find out how much have, in effect, these higher unemployment benefits have on jobs. As all the other things that are going on in the economy. Job exactly Dorothy Brown, I'm I'm curious, and when we look at the reason behind these trends, there is debate men, it does get Poland all, but is it possible that many
The reasons are true at the same time. Well, part first, I want to say yes, they are workers who are making higher money but so are see, owes that's the chart. We also could be talking about right. Significant pay increases doing a pandemic, while their cutting staff c o pay has increased. Then I can talk about The Pew research study that showed about two thirds of unemployed Americans. We are thinking about what they want to do going forward. Do they want go back to the job they had is the job even available for them to go back to or do they want to re, examine their field and their occupation, and two thirds said they did so we talk about a mile.
Point- eight percent unemployment rate, but its nine point- one percent for black Americans and seven point three percent for Hispanic Americans, one point: eight million fewer women in the workforce and seven point: five million overall fewer jobs. So this economy has not back for everyone, and what a lot of workers have seen during the pandemic is the employer. They thought they were working for is not necessarily their employer right. They worked from home but we're surveillance, they had employers, checking up on them and you didn't necessarily think that was the kind of employ you worked for. So yes, it makes sense for people to say you know what I don't think I want to go back air no Ratner. Let's talk about, let's talk about divide in Venice
Asian and we showed that chart of the republican governors, letting the benefit expire early, the unemployment benefits expire early, either by diminish, patients seemed to send a signal last week that it was not now overly concerned. If republican governors, let that three hundred dollar extra benefit expire early, curious. What your thoughts are on that do. They believe that that will move more people into the workforce and make make employment numbers go even higher. I think, if you read a little bit between the lines, but not a lot, and what President fine has been saying did say a month or so ago shall go after the last jobs report came out. It was disappointing that,
in order to receive unemployment insurance, every American should be looking for a job, that's a provision, that's not always in force, and it wasn't enforced at all during the pandemic, and so it was think of signal that the press, the saying that, when people cancer decide their unemployed and out of the workforce they have. They have to be looking for a job in order to get the unemployment insurance. So that a positive thing- and I I I suspect, although they haven't really sad and quite frankly, that the binding minimum Everyone is aware that the difference and how these states behaved is what could I'll effect levels of employment, and I do think attic look I totally? I talked to businessmen all day every day, pretty much and to a person they will EU aid. It is really hard to find people and their and their having to back on. Some of their sales and production, because of that and to the point that was made a second ago, it does appear that people are being more choosy about what jobs they take.
there was a survey. I saw the other day that something like half the people who are looking for a job want a job that allows for my work will obviously half the country happy working remotely, unfortunately, so I think the pandemic does for at least the moment somewhat altered people's views. about work and about what they want to go back to work and where they feel that a pressing need to go back and were to work. And yes, I do think that three, four dollars a week, plus the stimulus, shacks plus certain other, better Let's have played a role in all that professor John gloomier. Over the weekend Treasury secretary, JANET Yellin security amendments from other members, the g7 about the fifty four minimum tax. Of course, thou though it gets that much harder. If such a thing is going to happen Congress to sign off on to produce think about the the ramifications about what this. What this deal means both globally, but also the path ahead for putting in place here at home, in what it could mean: d,
Well, I think a minimum tax is critical to preventing tax haven in preventing american companies from having abating and avoiding income tax payer paying their. I would say their fair share and I think President Biden, nor I think securing this abroad is obvious. the hundred times easier than securing it at home right. We don't see a lot of support, certainly not by party And support- and I dont know if, in the Senate there are fifty Democrats that would support it, but a minimum tax is critical to
