lmao thanks for clearing this up before I wasted 18 minutes of my life on the edge of my seat, curious about wtf America's problem with Russell Brand is.
I was a homeless junkie....a social worker took me in and I fought my way back to health and working a job...it's rare but some make it..I work in AA and help people who want help...it's a beautifull thing to see...but many don't make it...
Yes, start funding very well structured homeless shelters, Give it an umbrella name, make it GLOBAL. EVERY PERSON WITH X AMOUNT OVER ONE MILLION IN BANK GIVE A PERCENTAGE EVERY YEAR! CLEAN UP THE STREETS. GET IN THERE IN THESE COMMUNITIES AND MAKE INCENTIVE...GOALS, BUILD SCHOOLS OF REAL LIFE EDUCATION, GYMS...JOB SKILLS, ...FEED, ECOURAGE N LOVE! THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE, DONT GET INCENTIVES. MANDATORY DRUG TESTS ETC. FIND THE RIGHT PPL TO TRAIN AT A GLOBAL OUTREACH POINT, MILLIONS,AND LET THE BOZOS PAY FOR IT! ITS POSSIBLE!
i dont like him. he is an sjw that throws around a solution that involves taking money from others. corrupt politics and the morons who support the psychopathic politicians are the problem. for example; you nor anyone reading this can tell me how many americants the obombya killed right here on american soil. but i will give you a hint. it is far beyond 10,000 americans. we/you elected a mass murderer of americans and you do not know it.
some of his views are abit silly i agree. he listens tho and articulates himself well. i believe your either very drunk, high or thick, because the rest of your rant after the first sentence is unreadable. get your life together bro.
Russell has transformed from a drunk idiot into a kind, caring and thoughtful human being. He gives me hope for the rest of us drunk idiots. Good for you mate...carry on
@@dusk4923 Dude, seriously? Carlin was an American success story who busted his ass from little to get what he got. I mean, your pointing at a guy whos net worth was 10 million dollars. GTFOH with your moronic comment.
That last sentence by Russel was so true, the internet lets us hear great men like these talk on important things in such a compassionate way that listening to the average politician makes u think “wtf is wrong with these people”
So does television! But that would not make you rich n big corporate even richer?!!! Big tech boys! Sold out! Sold out onus! I'm no slave to internet. This is my second time watching Joe Regan. They talk, you pay! Nobody gets it!
The percentage of politicians who go into it to help the people and make the world a better place must be in single digits. It should be a noble endeavour. It’s tragic that it overwhelmingly attracts the kind of people who crave power and self enrichment at the expense of the most vulnerable.
I think Russell means well. But his vision is not realistic in today's world. There's always going to be those who work harder than others. Equal opportunity will never equal outcome.
@@alaska-bornfloridaman Oh shit dude you can't be more wrong, People work extremely hard in every walk of life they just don't get the monetary value of there hard work like the rich do. You make it sound like only the rich work hard thus get rewarded for it, we all work hard m8. Without the vision you can't have the reality, every brilliant thing you see first came from someone dreaming it up, someone has to have the crazy idea before you get the crazy product.
13:33 "Lets not crush this optimism in the crib, Joe." I absolutely adore both of these men and their beautiful facility with words. They are magical word artists and communicators. So much love for you guys
I’m really grossed out that over a thousand people gave this a thumbs down? THIS, Joe and Russell, THIS is the beginning of a real change. This is one of our biggest crisis as a country. I genuinely believe this will spread love and positivity ❤️ We are a team ❤️
One thing I do like about Russell is Will quietly listen to you’re side of an argument and see things from your point of view, then give his side of the argument from his point of view and is completely willing to agree to disagree and walk away peacefully instead of shouting you down and letting you get a word in edgewise.
@@thereisnosanctuary6184 it's more than that. Russell has admitted that he was basically an abusive narcissistic drug addict for much of his life. He's different now, he's ( *PLEASE* excuse the term! ) woke. As in, aware, awake, all of that. Aware enough to absorb ideas and remain collected when others might crack, might blow up or give up. Like NGT and Bill Nye do with science, Brand is a communicator of big ideas from philosophy. He may not be the originator of the ideas but he's an excellent teacher. All just my opinion, of course. 😎✌
@@devodavis6747 Do not be ashamed to use the phrase woke. Those who are sleeping will be offended by both expressions those awoken will understand and appreciate them..
This isn't america's #1 problem, this is the WORLDS #1 problem. I'm from the UK and we send billions in aid to other countries, when people in our own are going hungry and go ignored.
Do you honestly believe they're sending billions abroad. Those are relief packages we send after we fuck some 3rd World shithole for all their resources. Its our way of saying thanks for all the gold heres some donated laptops.
@@Lethalbanter He's not talking about the government aid packages, MAX is talking about normal people giving millions out of there own pockets, we do it all the time in the UK, people give a few £ each and chip in to help others who need it, this is on top of what the government does.
Your right Max, unfortunately American's totaly obsessed about them self's. The rest of the world talks about global problems, American's only talk about there own problems. I think this is because it's drummed into them from a young age that they have to be patriotic, the rest of us see ourselves as part of the world but they see themselves as part of America. There not team players like the rest of us. In the UK you never hear people talk about being patriotic but the yanks are obsessed about it!
@@xforkhandlesx I think we Europeans did have a history with a certain central European country with a extreme form of nationalism in the middle of the previous century.
That's maybe yet another proof that just throwing money at the problem won't solve it. There has been nothing like the so called "war on poverty" in USA that has increased to much poverty in America. Is not money (always) what you need. You need education, you need family stability and fairness. Also money to get that, but if you just give poeple money... They are fucked.
Most of the homeless people I worked with as a nurse had a history of becoming homeless to escape violence. Childhood abuse most often, second would be domestic abuse. The real problem comes when people discover how many predators are willing to help them survive on the street. Trading one abuse for others. All of which leads to mental health issues. There were vets and people with other forms of PTSD who couldn’t get the help they needed …so many paths.
“Smarter than Joe” kinda misses the point of compassion, which isn’t strictly based in intellect, right? (And considering that you don’t have that *baseline* understanding, kindly knock off the pretentious “namaste” crap.)
Maybe neither are smarter than each other, both are understanding and willing to bounce ideas to solve the issues that keep humanity as a whole moving forward. We are all one and one individual trying to solve these problems is not achievable. It will take 8 billion of us ! 😊🙏🏽
I was homeless for a couple of years,trust me it can be vary vary hard to get out of the circle of homelessness.i was lucky because I had a game plan,I stuck to that plan .but a lot of other homeless people haven’t got a plan.either through mental health problems or drug problems,it is vary hard to sort your life out.peace to everyone who cares about others.☯️☮️
What are your views of Capitalism? Do you think it helped or hindered you in your trials? (I am genuinely asking for your opinion, not trying to trap or Bait) Thanks for commenting.
Same here, it is very possible. My struggles inspired friends that anything is possible through hard work and staying the course. Always lead by example.
@@retired4365 What kept you guys going? I imagine some days you faced depression and enormous anxiety. How do you focus and stay on track and not lose it?
Before we were herded into cities to work the factories of the industrial revolution we lived in small communities and took care of those in need because it was beneficial for the whole community. Cities have fomented a good deal of suffering for poor people.
Not really. Back then inequality was even greater, kings and the aristocracy lived in mansions while the poor worked the fields, illiterate with no education, no healthcare, died young, half of pregnancies would end in the woman's death, no cars or even bicycles to get around, you were stuck in your community, going hungry every day, starving, war, disease and suffering. At least now poor people don't die at 20, at least they now get an education, at least now they can move, at least now they can do shit other than working in the fields from sunrise to sunset. The industrial revolution caused a massive jump in living standards and made the average person way more happy. I would rather be homeless in LA than be a peasant farmer in England dying of disease, starving, working in the fields.
@@SOMEONE-cd9wf Well if you call working 16 hour days as a child threading power looms over working in fields or farms with parents and family improvement. The poor weren't educated or given healthcare in the first century of industrialization, they were cheap labor, paid pennies and taken advantage of. I believe you are confusing our modern era with the industrial revolution. Ever heard of Charles Dickens, you are just romanticizing Victorian times.
I worked in law enforcement in New Orleans, Baltimore, Dallas and Miami (federal agent). I was constantly amazed at how many people, living in horrid conditions in those cities, didn't just leave and go to some smaller community where life was so much better. I really don't think they ever realized that there was an alternative. If it was me, I would have walked out, to get out of those hell holes.
THIS IS PARTLY DUE TO A MATRIARCHAL SOCIETY OVER A PATRIARCHAL ONE. THE MATRIARCHAL EPOCH WAS BASED ON THE FAMILY UNIT & A REAL CONNECTION TO YOUR COMMUNITY. THAT EPOCH IS COMING BACK ,FOR IT IS CYLICAL.
The first 4 minutes of Joe talking was spot on and extremely refreshing to hear. We need to fight hard for that kind of help for so many people. We can do it!
@@aliceshaw8265 I always find it mind numbing how being a millionaire instantly negates the stance of trying to improve society. How do you people manage to come to this conclusion? It has all the itchings and prickings of a deficit in emotional intelligence and understanding nuance.
I lived in a coal mining town in Maryland for over 9 years, and that’s absolutely right. These places are a black hole, and people there have absolutely zero agency over the life they want, it’s terrible :/
I was locked up in Maryland with some guys from Garrett and Allegheny counties and the poverty they came from was no joke. A lot of those guys lived a worse life than dudes from impoverished neighborhoods in East Baltimore. It's sad dude but I'm glad you're making a better life for yourself.
@djohnson6528 I would say the ones who can afford kids aren't really having any. And the ones who can't afford kids are having 4. I have one child ( don't regret it) but financially I would have been much better off if I hadn't had one.
One of the signs of the enormous size of Russell brands intelligence is that he listens without speaking when people are speaking to him. Beyond refreshing.
We don't ALL have compassion and love in us. The unfortunate part about that is, the people who DON'T are the majority of the people who make the rules.
I have anti government right wing buddies who hate the government but never talk about their 100% disability checks that come every month from the government that doesn’t care about them.
We are animals. Do as they propose and your job ought to be labelled to you near adolescence. You stronk or not? Smart or dumb? No thanks, I pick my job and who I allow to be around me. I choose where my money goes and who deserves my vote. You're two cents richer.
In this area... Talk is cheap... How many people can easily see the problem but do absolutely nothing to sacrifice everything they have to fix it? We are talking about Mother Theresa level of charity to change the world. How many religious orders or institutions struggle everyday to do the very thing these "wonderful rich men" are talking about with less resources. In fact talk to Joe Rogan about religion and the great things these Saints have done. A Mother Theresa or Maximilian Kolbe who sacrificed himself in aushwitz to save another's life. He will crap all over them, ridicule them and mock them without trying to have an open mind. I'm sure it makes them feel good to talk about it but talk is cheap. That's why it is easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
this wealth inequality problem is a made up problem by ourselves as humans to climb higher in the social hierarchy. if we thought it through,we could all eat simple(like super simple) made nutritious food,but we do not,cuz it isnt cool to do so,cuz f u wanna be cool u must eat those meat which is peppered with all kinds of sauce & shit and it makes u cool.we could all live in simple huts,but our desire to climb d social hierarchy brainwash us that we should live in a mansion with a car and all kind of shits and that makes us feel cool. if we are all billionaires,we will all be living with d same perception of the folks thousands of years ago before humanity huddled to towns or city,cuz we wont need each others help to acquire something cuz we are all billionaires,if u get terribly sick,u just have to suck it up cuz ur billionaire neighbor wont bother helping u cuz he doesnt need ur money,just like humans thousands of years agp,f every1 is rich everyone s poor.. what we seek today like education,high paying job,job security,affordable or free healthcare,money etc are all in the name of trying raise our social status. if we have a magic wand and make everyone whose poor and magic upgrade them to middleclass,after a generation or two,there sons and daughters will just eventually take it for granted,and start labeling themselves as poor,and want to climb up the social ladder again,and we well be back were we started. all problems in developed countries are just newly made up problems to achieve their goal of attaining higher and higher social status.,unless you're eating literal grass (like some in north Korea) and live in a cave in a developed country,which is unlikely cuz of food stamps,ur problems s a state of mind. wake up.just be a monk in a mountain or something,and u will be mentally fulfilled. as long as technology keeps on and on and on improving,so is the social pyramid. homeless humans in the future will be complaining about there living conditions on mars cuz they r just stuck in their personal 20 year old 2nd hand spaceships.
I've been living in the Philippines for 5 years. There's a shitton of inequality. This video is in strong contrast to the interview with Ben Shapiro. Some people just don't understand how tiny the horizon is of a person who grew up in poverty and with no perspective in life. It's not like these kinds of people are lazy on purpose, are making bad decisions, are dumb, whatever... The main problem is these people have no frame of reference for what a better life looks like. They don't even know this possibility exists. Go to the province anywhere in the Philippines and try to hire any of the kids there for a job, you will be shocked how little they know of their own capacity for greatness. They have just never seen what's possible because their entire environment is just like that. I agree, fix your own doorstep first. Then help fix the doorsteps of places like I just mentioned, such as the Philippines.
nothing warms my heart more than seeing 2 millionaires who could make a change for the better, talking about how other people should make changes for the better
They could be just hedonistically enjoying their ‘millions’. Don’t begrudge a man a million, it’s when he has a Billion... and yet still wants more... it has to come from someone... but at what and whose cost?
I dont want a mansion, I need shelter. Warmed in the winter and cooled in the summer. Clean water and electricity. Enough food to be satiated and nourished. Clothed in clean fabric. Able to wash myself. These are not luxuries, these are essentials required to live with a basic level of dignity. Problem is we cant agree that these are essentials. Some would argue this list is too long while others say it's too short.
The disagreement isn't whether they're essential, it's whether anyone has the right to force others to provide those necessities rather than protecting the right to acquire them for ourselves and voluntarily provide for our neighbors.
@Seeker197, philosophically I agree that it is immoral to make others provide for you (e.g. government redistribution). I believe practically that we need to address the plight of the homeless and less privileged. We either pay upfront or pay later. We end up always paying more when we pay later (emergency room visits, housing criminals, etc.). And we have the resources as long as we stop foreign wars and cut back on foreign aid. I also believe that practically some people can’t be helped (repeat drug users). If a majority of homelessness is caused by drug addiction, address that first before trying to address homelessness.
Your list isn’t too long in my opinion, you need to add one caveat / prerequisite though. If you can’t keep off drugs (with the help of programs), you can’t have access to your list above. Non ending addiction is a black hole of resources in this country.
Umm, you are aware that this is the richest nation in history right? Proportionally we have more resources and wealth than the ancient Roman Empire. There’s more than enough to go around without taking or forcing anyone to donate anything at all. No one is asking you to fund the poor, our government has waaaaay more than enough to solve poverty in this country the world over. It’s just, there’s no profit in it, AND, we’d rather spend that money on the Military Industrial Complex, foreign economic wars, etc. This is why it’s ridiculous when people ask “how is Bernie Sanders gonna pay for universal healthcare AND cheaper college education!? Is he going to marginally raise my taxes!?!? That’s TREASON!!!!!” Except, no he’s not, and you could just as easily reallocate those military funds (not all of it but a lot) to solve these problems. It doesn’t take an economic professor from an Ivy League university to see this. People are just greedy and everyone sees themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires. We can’t all be millionaires, but we definitely could all have salary jobs plus decent benefits.
@Nick.....Of course we do, and I know that you know this as well. But the guy you’re responding to maybe isn’t aware of this. That’s okay, be polite and educate those who don’t already know this. That’s all we can do in the CZcams comment section. 😉

@@midnightgreen8319 just my opinion but I don’t think your comment will age well. Old Billy boy ain’t no saint and we should know more in 10-15 years. You can’t deny that his parents were aligned with Margaret Sanger who’s primary objective was infanticide and racial eugenics.
Joe is correct about Gates. The conspiracy theories about Gates are pure crazy. He isn’t a perfect person but he is a well intentioned person who has done enormous good. Too many people don’t have the gift Rogan has- he can research everything with a clean slate, open mind. Doesn’t take a side and has zero tolerance for bullshit or any agenda other than the truth. Try it.
Actually Joe, I live in Rockford Illinois and Miss Carly passes out 1000 sack lunches per day to anyone who is in need. She also has sent hundreds to drug rehab and follows up after to provide support. She started with a wagon and two kids on her hip. Now it's grown into something everyone in this community and surrounding communities actively support. God bless people like Miss Carly. ❤
I find him annoying and I'm a Brit but if you actually listen to him he's a lot smarter than you think he is and a lot what he says makes a lot of sense I used to just be irritated by his comedy but he is a clever speaker I would like to see Russell Brand and Ben Shapiro have a debate
One of the easiest 'solutions' to those areas is to create or provide jobs. From there onwards you will see overall wealth in an area increase. Either that or you see people flee the area. Wonder why Detroit is such a shithole? It's due to most jobs being gone there. On top of that, average IQ of the people that have stayed is unbelievably low, so prepare for a lot of very poor choices in life by the average Joe over there. Want people to beat their drug addiction? Make sure they have something to life for, which for most people would again be a job (and as such, a purpose).
@@PHeMoX Also, get rid of the Democ- I mean uh corrupt politicians promoting a welfare big daddy government mentality, a militarized police, absurd drug laws, and a corporate prison system.
I mean corrupt corporations screwing over blue collar workers too and big companies working people in other countries like slaves yet we still but their products. Every big company you can think of is doing something horribly immoral because most of them have sweat shops in other countries that are working kids till suicide

Appreciate this acknowledgement Joe and Russell. I'm one who broke through this precise environment. It's incredibly alienating, like a borderland between biological family that's toxic and others that don't understand (or ignore) this reality exists. It's hard as hell. And very disheartening to consider the lost potential. Many times I've wondered what more I could've achieved if given the right petri dish, instead of climbing from deficit to try to get what most are given. It took a lot to persevere, and still trying. Thanks for bringing to light.
The poverty is so bad in Alabama, Kentucky, and the rest of the south. Its so bad that the United Nations wanted to investigate Alabama on it’s poverty.
Think about that poverty every time the military decides to fire off a missile that’s worth 500k+. The money is there. It just won’t go to helping citizens.
The opiate epidemic has greatly increased the homeless population. Heroin is getting in on a large scale through the boarder. Then doctors were handing out pain pills for a stubbed toe and people instead of taking one every 8 hours as needed for pain, started taking 3 at a time to get high.

Totally doable through focusing on holistic approaches to equality, tackling childhood trauma and get tax from corps to the people who need it the most. Well said @Joe Rogan
like the "joke" with Gates helping so many people. looking at this days for what he and the elite pushing for you wouldn't give af about about their agenda and their lies.
This is excellent , Joe and Russell …. Thank you for your wisdom Russell … joe should have let him talk and share his opinions thoughts and ideas more freely without interruption
The problem with saving homeless people is that they're mostly too far gone. I've spoke to many of them and the majority prefer to stay homeless for odd enough reasons. Good luck changing somebody's preference.
It's actually because the republicans specifically always funnel the most wealth to the rich and gerrymander election maps so they don't need a majority to win elections, and many of them are hoping segregation will come back, and a lot of people are too fucking stupid to have a clue what's going on, so they just pretend to make a point by saying idiotic shit like "it's both sides at fault".

But he's a skilled speaker and debater and respectful when he's does debate. I've rarely seem him lose his 'temper' except at times when the other person is just being a dickhead and deliberately trying to bate him or trap him.

Several years ago I listened to Ron Paul respond to Michael Moores movie attacking capitalism. Ron, on Larry King, agreed with everything Moore said, but corrected him, stating that the problem was not capitalism, but corporatism. And his solution was limiting lobbyists. Joe, you know what took place during the 80s with the yuppies, e.g. - "greed is good", which was when the corporations began leaving the U.S.. I had two parents who began as upper middle class, but ended up in poverty at the end of their lives. And all the social poison you suggested at the beginning of your podcast I experienced growing up. However, I was changed by spirituality which brought healing and life to me. But Christianity has been attacked by the society that has been the foundation of it.
Unfortunately, one of the big problems with this is that the people in these unfortunate communities identify with this lifestyle as their culture. Look at how people are demonized for gentrification and how we’re constantly told that it’s systematic racism when there’s an effort to remove drugs from communities.
Thank you Joe Rogan ! I live in Appalachia the rest of America doesn't have a clue what it's like here .I'm thankful and sometimes actually stop and say thank you God that I have indoor plumbing ,I don't have to carry it in a bucket and build a fire in a stove too heat it to wash dishes or bathe .thousands of people in this county didn't have access to clean water until the 1980s .Sure we could get it from a creek with no idea if it was clean or not . People smart enough to get educated leave ,but what people don't get is how much harder it is for a poor kid to go too college ,all the rich kid has too worry about is getting grades ,the poor kid has too absolutely work somewhere to buy clothes food for themselves and make car payments and pay insurance and sometimes send money back home so mom can buy clothes for your siblings ,Appalachia is similar too a third world country And the rest of America ignores it

@@ryanalexander5438 so very true. Capitalism might not be the problem, just how people interact within capitalism? The entire goal of capitalism is to make as much money as possible for the capitalist. To keep people in communities where they feel hopeless and stuck is what enables capitalists to exploit workers with unlivable wages and working conditions. People will subsidize a hopeless life with drugs and addictions. Capitalism demands an endless supply of workers who are willing to work throughout their best years and miss time with family and children in order to provide for their own piece if the American Dream.

@Meme Notyou There are ways to redistribute wealth that aren't communist in nature. Progressive tax systems, shutting down tax havens and tax avoidance methods, etc... Being 'liberal' doesn't = communism.
Meme Notyou I wasn’t talking about a redistribution of wealth, I just mean, a power company making record profits of multiple billions for the fifth year in a row while a large portion of the population struggle to pay their power bill seems a little unnecessary, but to make matters worse there will be a price hike to meet the shareholders expectations next year. All I’m really saying is, it’s 2020, nobody should be malnourished now, anywhere in the world, period.
@Meme Notyou Yes, thanks for schooling me on what wealth redistribution isn't, what a scholar you are. And yes, it's 'Liberals' fault that tax havens still exist. I'm surprised I didn't see it before!!!
I’ve never been homeless but I grew up in poverty in a middle class town, and something I always found confusing and hurtful was how the town ostracized me for being the poor kid, even though it wasn’t my fault. It would have been so easy to pool money together to help me, but for some reason, people punish you for being needy, and despise a poor person who isn’t able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even if help would enable them to do so.
Concerning the modern world: When you zoom out & look at the big picture, this is what you see... Economics runs every society. Economics is really about the circulation of money. Its doesn't really care about the "hows" & "whys". It only cares about competition of currencies & circulation of money. & this is the only way that a society, that's dependent upon economics, can perpetuate itself. Well, the problem with that is, it (the system of economics) is set up to *only* thrive, if a few have a surplus (The Haves) & most have a deficit (The Have Nots). Take a minute to really think about my last statement. The system of economics cannot work, if we are all winners. Some can win, but most *must* lose. *& we are all forced to participate* Its a game designed to maintain only a few winners, & keep most from winning.....& we are all forced to play. It every American had one million dollars, right now.....money would hardly be worth anything. So you see, that even if we could just simultaneously, somehow make every American have a million dollars..... everyone would lose. The system is designed to where everyone *can't* win. & if you could somehow try to force everyone to win......the opposite actually happens: everyone loses. .....& we are all forced to play. But we are told from elementary school that we live in "The Land of Opportunity". What's the opportunity?? .....Being forced to play in a game where only a few can win.... & if you try to change it to where everyone wins, everyone loses? I'm not really seeing the "opportunity" in that.
I've been way down a number of times but never out I always got back on my feet but everytime it was due to someone caring or just trusting me with an opportunity which I then took. Please do not pass someone by if they are in need and you think you can help even if it means just talking to someone for 5.minutes. Not to put yourself at risk but you would be surprised what a little positive action on your part can do for someone who is at rock bottom
When you teach kids philosophy at a young age, the experience empowers them to make good choices and their lives improve. It's a bit old school to say that education can save us, but I think we've missed the mark on what we should be teaching our kids.
@Half life 3 that's funny because in 2019 the three poorest states were Mississippi, West Virginia and Arkansas. Guess what? All run by republicans. You have to actually go a ways down the list of "what were the poorest states in 2019" before you hit a democratic state.
With the ability to access information at our fingertips, my question is why 'any'one would sign up for 'any' military service in the U.S. knowing how fucked our government treats our Veterans.…???? I mean, I'm a 49 year old, overweight ex drug addict and if any person or country invaded the U.S., I'd be the first to attempt to defend her shores, (and probably the first to die...lol)… But, once again, knowing how shitty our own government has treated our Vets and troops over the decades, why would any sane person enlist????
@@oweneldridge8813 no, the 50% of them that end in divorce; usually due to finances. Edit: just confirmed the current statistics and depending on sources 40-50% of marriages end in divorce.
They can depending on where they go, they can also go to school paid for by the government after their service. Do you even know what you're talking about?
I listen to both of you quite often- and agree w/ your positions on many things. One thing I might add- given from the perspective of someone who has had a multitude of 'variables' to overcome. I say 'variables' because they weren't 'barriers'- per se. They were 'trip ups' or the opposite of 'support' (which, IMO, aren't really barriers). I have my degree in the Natural Sciences- so have taken a lot of Statistics. When done accurately, they are very informative. I came from a place of many factorable variables. By 'factorable' I mean 'variables that impose on positive outcomes.' I think people have it all wrong. For instance- a factorable variable would be childhood socio-economics. Another would be childhood abuse and neglect. Another would be familial stability and mentoring. A co-factor might be cultural and/or economic values. For instance- if we value things over people or men over women (say- in sports....because you can't fairly compare them. They aren't the same). ALL these things factor into a life.
Prison- industrial complex is the 3rd most profited industry on the planet. That defines how this world works and how it’s been for hundreds of years. It’s literally a prison planet.
According to the 16th amendment we can not increase taxes period. Stop being a puppet for the democratic-republican party that want to get rid of our federal government. This humanist can take his philosophy back to the U.K.: like economics stats this man should go back to U.K. and take our philosophy of being free to that phacist country. How is parliament a better government when they let Christians be killed with no way to protect t themselves. It is not materialism. It is the fact that there is not enough money to pay for everybody. The money in our economy is the amount that has been estimated as just. Look at Californian and it crumbling economy with there high taxes with no economic good that is new that can offset the inflation of pumping our economy with more money. Since you are a drug addict go and fix yourself. It is not my job to fix you, and let you steal from me. You two are truly dumb as fuck. You both like drugs. How about I stead of taking dmt. Stay sober and make a dream journal I stead of letti g your humanist intentions ruin the experience you are having. To be infuencual you need to understand what you are talking Bout. It is a p roble. With incopitnece, and not wanting to work from a young age to be successful. I see people with downsydrome, and they work. You guys are making excuses.
Well we don't know how to spend our way out of social problems like poverty and crime. Programs assumed to be social in intention may be ineffective or even work against their own stated goals. But clearly any truly effective solution would be economically more a benefit than a burden. It's still a false economy to ignore a country's problems through blaming, rationalizing and externalizing them. A growing social problem WILL be something that directly affects us all. Germany knows this.
There’s a different wave of homeless for the past 10 years or so... their are family’s with children..women alone.. many many many people.. These people do not have mental problems...aren’t on drugs...don’t drink... are clean . THEY JUST CAN NOT AFFORD TO PAY TOP RENT .. many have jobs... they don’t keep them long because someone finds out their homeless and their children live in a car and they loose their job Lets keep it real..🌹
Every four to eight years ( regardless of political affiliation) politicians come around and promise things-but do you ever notice nothing substantial or concrete happens in poor communities. Nothing really changes.
Thats the goal. If you can convince everyone its in their own personal best interest to keep capitalism around then they wont even question it. Everyone in america that hasnt realized this think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires that will wake up from their broke dream someday. But truly the only people that wake up from the broke dream are people that realize there is more to life than money.
@Renaud Villacis What impact has that had on your day to day life whatsoever? Honestly GDP could be double whatever the hell it is right now but suicide rates are still up %50 in the past 7 years so what does it matter?
Because no one can make someone accountable, if the people in “poor communities” spent everyday improving themselves, their situation, respecting other humans and setting a plan then those poor communities wouldn’t have to rely on anyone or what they promise.
Haha I lived in a tiny town where there were no jobs to be had. Was an adult who couldn't pay his bills. I was on welfare... and was told to simply move. My whole family was poor and lived in this tiny town... I didnt have anybody outside of this town... and they kept telling me to just move... just crash on someone's couch until you get on your feet. There are no couches to crash on! Haha... when people say "they should just move" most of the time have never experienced anything like that. They generally have life lines and can just up and move. Where as with a ton of people, they really dont have the option.
The thing is, these catastrophes that Joe mentioned have to happen in order for people to act are happening every day where I grew up. These statistics *are* available too, because programs exist on a smaller level that you can reasonably generalize and associate with larger/national outcomes. This is how we test and develop solutions, it starts on a smaller level. Things like increasing tutoring through partnerships with AmeriCorps have been proven to be effective in improving impoverished children's educations and thereby their chances in life. The problem is that the people who tend to work in these non-profit organizations - the people doing the work - are paid slave salaries! They are not incentivized to stay beyond a year of service, or 4 if they are trying to pay for college. The system is self-interested, plain simple. They'll throw a bunch of hungry 18-year-olds using the experience as a gap year/resume builder at the problem, and sure it can have lasting benefits, but it costs too much to buy the real *change*. Childhood poverty is a $500B/year problem for the US. Those who could really be a help won't until the news starts to care more about showing the realities of ravaged communities, but it doesn't sell well & people want to eat their Wheaties in peace.
DOM Corleone - Because Joe knows better than to challenge Ben Shapiro on this subject. Some people are industrious and hard working others are lazy and unmotivated no matter how many resources you give them. That's simply the world we live in...
slash2jimi - You can't help everyone. All we can do is ensure everyone has access to the same resources. People who want to succeed will help themselves...
Because he knows he's mostly just ignorant and short-sighted, instead of right when it comes to this very subject. I love it how people ignore all the known issues of systems of socialism and communism and pretend that's somehow better than the issues with capitalism. Especially when they themselves have gathered millions throughout their careers. It's also exactly why people shouldn't listen to celebrities.
But it's an empty conversation. It's just wishy washy feelings, no substance, no real structure. These guys know neither the causes of poverty, nor the effect of proposed fixes, just that "we should do something, man".

Title made it seem like America hated Russell....
*TOUCHING THINGS* most people dowho know who he is and what he does
i dont like him. he is an sjw that throws around a solution that involves taking money from others. corrupt politics and the morons who support the psychopathic politicians are the problem. for example; you nor anyone reading this can tell me how many americants the obombya killed right here on american soil. but i will give you a hint. it is far beyond 10,000 americans. we/you elected a mass murderer of americans and you do not know it.
TOUCHING THINGS!!! AHHH... IM *TOUCHING THINGS!* WHAT DO I DO!?
Yeah, I was hoping for at least an America's Top 5 problems w/ Russel Brand, cause I have several problems with this asshole.
some of his views are abit silly i agree. he listens tho and articulates himself well. i believe your either very drunk, high or thick, because the rest of your rant after the first sentence is unreadable.
get your life together bro.
Russell has transformed from a drunk idiot into a kind, caring and thoughtful human being. He gives me hope for the rest of us drunk idiots. Good for you mate...carry on

I think Russell means well. But his vision is not realistic in today's world. There's always going to be those who work harder than others. Equal opportunity will never equal outcome.

THIS, Joe and Russell, THIS is the beginning of a real change. This is one of our biggest crisis as a country. I genuinely believe this will spread love and positivity ❤️ We are a team ❤️
Some people just lack of empathy...🤷♀️
I'd say some people just don't like Russell brand though its not for a good reason
One thing I do like about Russell is Will quietly listen to you’re side of an argument and see things from your point of view, then give his side of the argument from his point of view and is completely willing to agree to disagree and walk away peacefully instead of shouting you down and letting you get a word in edgewise.

@@thereisnosanctuary6184 it's more than that. Russell has admitted that he was basically an abusive narcissistic drug addict for much of his life. He's different now, he's ( *PLEASE* excuse the term! ) woke. As in, aware, awake, all of that. Aware enough to absorb ideas and remain collected when others might crack, might blow up or give up. Like NGT and Bill Nye do with science, Brand is a communicator of big ideas from philosophy. He may not be the originator of the ideas but he's an excellent teacher. All just my opinion, of course.

This isn't america's #1 problem, this is the WORLDS #1 problem. I'm from the UK and we send billions in aid to other countries, when people in our own are going hungry and go ignored.
Do you honestly believe they're sending billions abroad. Those are relief packages we send after we fuck some 3rd World shithole for all their resources. Its our way of saying thanks for all the gold heres some donated laptops.
@@Lethalbanter He's not talking about the government aid packages, MAX is talking about normal people giving millions out of there own pockets, we do it all the time in the UK, people give a few £ each and chip in to help others who need it, this is on top of what the government does.
Your right Max, unfortunately American's totaly obsessed about them self's. The rest of the world talks about global problems, American's only talk about there own problems. I think this is because it's drummed into them from a young age that they have to be patriotic, the rest of us see ourselves as part of the world but they see themselves as part of America. There not team players like the rest of us. In the UK you never hear people talk about being patriotic but the yanks are obsessed about it!
@@xforkhandlesx I think we Europeans did have a history with a certain central European country with a extreme form of nationalism in the middle of the previous century.
That's maybe yet another proof that just throwing money at the problem won't solve it. There has been nothing like the so called "war on poverty" in USA that has increased to much poverty in America. Is not money (always) what you need. You need education, you need family stability and fairness. Also money to get that, but if you just give poeple money... They are fucked.
Most of the homeless people I worked with as a nurse had a history of becoming homeless to escape violence. Childhood abuse most often, second would be domestic abuse. The real problem comes when people discover how many predators are willing to help them survive on the street. Trading one abuse for others. All of which leads to mental health issues. There were vets and people with other forms of PTSD who couldn’t get the help they needed …so many paths.
I misjudged Russel, he's smarter than Joe and had an agenda to help as many people as possible with his appearance. Namaste
“Smarter than Joe” kinda misses the point of compassion, which isn’t strictly based in intellect, right?
(And considering that you don’t have that *baseline* understanding, kindly knock off the pretentious “namaste” crap.)

Before we were herded into cities to work the factories of the industrial revolution we lived in small communities and took care of those in need because it was beneficial for the whole community. Cities have fomented a good deal of suffering for poor people.
Not really. Back then inequality was even greater, kings and the aristocracy lived in mansions while the poor worked the fields, illiterate with no education, no healthcare, died young, half of pregnancies would end in the woman's death, no cars or even bicycles to get around, you were stuck in your community, going hungry every day, starving, war, disease and suffering. At least now poor people don't die at 20, at least they now get an education, at least now they can move, at least now they can do shit other than working in the fields from sunrise to sunset. The industrial revolution caused a massive jump in living standards and made the average person way more happy. I would rather be homeless in LA than be a peasant farmer in England dying of disease, starving, working in the fields.
@@SOMEONE-cd9wf Well if you call working 16 hour days as a child threading power looms over working in fields or farms with parents and family improvement. The poor weren't educated or given healthcare in the first century of industrialization, they were cheap labor, paid pennies and taken advantage of. I believe you are confusing our modern era with the industrial revolution. Ever heard of Charles Dickens, you are just romanticizing Victorian times.
I worked in law enforcement in New Orleans, Baltimore, Dallas and Miami (federal agent). I was constantly amazed at how many people, living in horrid conditions in those cities, didn't just leave and go to some smaller community where life was so much better. I really don't think they ever realized that there was an alternative. If it was me, I would have walked out, to get out of those hell holes.
Unless they had the wrong colour, the wrong religion or had a minority opinion on something. Then came the pitchforks and torches...

this wealth inequality problem is a made up problem by ourselves as humans to climb higher in the social hierarchy. if we thought it through,we could all eat simple(like super simple) made nutritious food,but we do not,cuz it isnt cool to do so,cuz f u wanna be cool u must eat those meat which is peppered with all kinds of sauce & shit and it makes u cool.we could all live in simple huts,but our desire to climb d social hierarchy brainwash us that we should live in a mansion with a car and all kind of shits and that makes us feel cool. if we are all billionaires,we will all be living with d same perception of the folks thousands of years ago before humanity huddled to towns or city,cuz we wont need each others help to acquire something cuz we are all billionaires,if u get terribly sick,u just have to suck it up cuz ur billionaire neighbor wont bother helping u cuz he doesnt need ur money,just like humans thousands of years agp,f every1 is rich everyone s poor..
what we seek today like education,high paying job,job security,affordable or free healthcare,money etc are all in the name of trying raise our social status. if we have a magic wand and make everyone whose poor and magic upgrade them to middleclass,after a generation or two,there sons and daughters will just eventually take it for granted,and start labeling themselves as poor,and want to climb up the social ladder again,and we well be back were we started. all problems in developed countries are just newly made up problems to achieve their goal of attaining higher and higher social status.,unless you're eating literal grass (like some in north Korea) and live in a cave in a developed country,which is unlikely cuz of food stamps,ur problems s a state of mind. wake up.just be a monk in a mountain or something,and u will be mentally fulfilled.

I've been living in the Philippines for 5 years. There's a shitton of inequality. This video is in strong contrast to the interview with Ben Shapiro. Some people just don't understand how tiny the horizon is of a person who grew up in poverty and with no perspective in life. It's not like these kinds of people are lazy on purpose, are making bad decisions, are dumb, whatever... The main problem is these people have no frame of reference for what a better life looks like. They don't even know this possibility exists. Go to the province anywhere in the Philippines and try to hire any of the kids there for a job, you will be shocked how little they know of their own capacity for greatness. They have just never seen what's possible because their entire environment is just like that.
I agree, fix your own doorstep first. Then help fix the doorsteps of places like I just mentioned, such as the Philippines.
nothing warms my heart more than seeing 2 millionaires who could make a change for the better, talking about how other people should make changes for the better
They could be just hedonistically enjoying their ‘millions’. Don’t begrudge a man a million, it’s when he has a Billion... and yet still wants more... it has to come from someone... but at what and whose cost?
I dont want a mansion, I need shelter. Warmed in the winter and cooled in the summer. Clean water and electricity. Enough food to be satiated and nourished. Clothed in clean fabric. Able to wash myself.
These are not luxuries, these are essentials required to live with a basic level of dignity.
Problem is we cant agree that these are essentials. Some would argue this list is too long while others say it's too short.
The disagreement isn't whether they're essential, it's whether anyone has the right to force others to provide those necessities rather than protecting the right to acquire them for ourselves and voluntarily provide for our neighbors.
@Seeker197, philosophically I agree that it is immoral to make others provide for you (e.g. government redistribution). I believe practically that we need to address the plight of the homeless and less privileged. We either pay upfront or pay later. We end up always paying more when we pay later (emergency room visits, housing criminals, etc.). And we have the resources as long as we stop foreign wars and cut back on foreign aid. I also believe that practically some people can’t be helped (repeat drug users). If a majority of homelessness is caused by drug addiction, address that first before trying to address homelessness.
Your list isn’t too long in my opinion, you need to add one caveat / prerequisite though. If you can’t keep off drugs (with the help of programs), you can’t have access to your list above. Non ending addiction is a black hole of resources in this country.
Umm, you are aware that this is the richest nation in history right? Proportionally we have more resources and wealth than the ancient Roman Empire. There’s more than enough to go around without taking or forcing anyone to donate anything at all. No one is asking you to fund the poor, our government has waaaaay more than enough to solve poverty in this country the world over. It’s just, there’s no profit in it, AND, we’d rather spend that money on the Military Industrial Complex, foreign economic wars, etc. This is why it’s ridiculous when people ask “how is Bernie Sanders gonna pay for universal healthcare AND cheaper college education!? Is he going to marginally raise my taxes!?!? That’s TREASON!!!!!” Except, no he’s not, and you could just as easily reallocate those military funds (not all of it but a lot) to solve these problems. It doesn’t take an economic professor from an Ivy League university to see this. People are just greedy and everyone sees themselves as temporarily inconvenienced millionaires. We can’t all be millionaires, but we definitely could all have salary jobs plus decent benefits.
@Nick.....Of course we do, and I know that you know this as well. But the guy you’re responding to maybe isn’t aware of this. That’s okay, be polite and educate those who don’t already know this. That’s all we can do in the CZcams comment section. 😉

@@midnightgreen8319 just my opinion but I don’t think your comment will age well. Old Billy boy ain’t no saint and we should know more in 10-15 years. You can’t deny that his parents were aligned with Margaret Sanger who’s primary objective was infanticide and racial eugenics.
@@slim3time you are a moron.
Joe is correct about Gates. The conspiracy theories about Gates are pure crazy. He isn’t a perfect person but he is a well intentioned person who has done enormous good. Too many people don’t have the gift Rogan has- he can research everything with a clean slate, open mind. Doesn’t take a side and has zero tolerance for bullshit or any agenda other than the truth. Try it.
America should make Bill Gates pay taxes. while you're at it, so are Bezos and Musk! I get that I'm a socialist now.
Actually Joe, I live in Rockford Illinois and Miss Carly passes out 1000 sack lunches per day to anyone who is in need. She also has sent hundreds to drug rehab and follows up after to provide support. She started with a wagon and two kids on her hip. Now it's grown into something everyone in this community and surrounding communities actively support. God bless people like Miss Carly. ❤
Legit thought this clip was about America hating Russell Brand. Thanks Jamie
At least half of America doesn't actually like him for real, so I'm not surprised people expected the title to mean that.
the problem with America is to many foreigners trying to tell us whats wrong with it. and people like Jamie.
I find him annoying and I'm a Brit but if you actually listen to him he's a lot smarter than you think he is and a lot what he says makes a lot of sense I used to just be irritated by his comedy but he is a clever speaker I would like to see Russell Brand and Ben Shapiro have a debate
@@lets_rock_and_ride5943 Then you would see how smart he actually isn't.
@@yt1300inHtown but most points he makes are right
I agree with Joe on this one. The problem is crappy neglected areas. The symptom is homelessness, crime, and drug addiction.
One of the easiest 'solutions' to those areas is to create or provide jobs. From there onwards you will see overall wealth in an area increase. Either that or you see people flee the area. Wonder why Detroit is such a shithole? It's due to most jobs being gone there. On top of that, average IQ of the people that have stayed is unbelievably low, so prepare for a lot of very poor choices in life by the average Joe over there. Want people to beat their drug addiction? Make sure they have something to life for, which for most people would again be a job (and as such, a purpose).
@@PHeMoX Also, get rid of the Democ- I mean uh corrupt politicians promoting a welfare big daddy government mentality, a militarized police, absurd drug laws, and a corporate prison system.
I mean corrupt corporations screwing over blue collar workers too and big companies working people in other countries like slaves yet we still but their products. Every big company you can think of is doing something horribly immoral because most of them have sweat shops in other countries that are working kids till suicide

I think the real problem is lack of love and care. When you abuse or neglect a child they usually turn to addiction and therefore crime.

I'm one who broke through this precise environment. It's incredibly alienating, like a borderland between biological family that's toxic and others that don't understand (or ignore) this reality exists. It's hard as hell. And very disheartening to consider the lost potential. Many times I've wondered what more I could've achieved if given the right petri dish, instead of climbing from deficit to try to get what most are given. It took a lot to persevere, and still trying. Thanks for bringing to light.
I’d love for Joe to have Russell Brand on more often.
The poverty is so bad in Alabama, Kentucky, and the rest of the south. Its so bad that the United Nations wanted to investigate Alabama on it’s poverty.
Think about that poverty every time the military decides to fire off a missile that’s worth 500k+. The money is there. It just won’t go to helping citizens.
Have you been to the South? It’s no different than California or Colorado.
The opiate epidemic has greatly increased the homeless population. Heroin is getting in on a large scale through the boarder. Then doctors were handing out pain pills for a stubbed toe and people instead of taking one every 8 hours as needed for pain, started taking 3 at a time to get high.

"The invisible bias is in the direction of profit." Great sentence from Russell. Easy to dismiss as truism yet describes the problem succinctly.
Joe actually spitting some legit truth here, refreshing bro
It's easy to forget that Joe is actually pretty liberal when he spends so much time being angry, justifiably so imo, with the extreme left.

“If the government really cares about us....” Joe’s got jokes
like the "joke" with Gates helping so many people. looking at this days for what he and the elite pushing for you wouldn't give af about about their agenda and their lies.
This is excellent , Joe and Russell …. Thank you for your wisdom Russell … joe should have let him talk and share his opinions thoughts and ideas more freely without interruption
The problem with saving homeless people is that they're mostly too far gone. I've spoke to many of them and the majority prefer to stay homeless for odd enough reasons. Good luck changing somebody's preference.
Maybe because it's the career politicians on both side f'n everyone over.
It's actually because the republicans specifically always funnel the most wealth to the rich and gerrymander election maps so they don't need a majority to win elections, and many of them are hoping segregation will come back, and a lot of people are too fucking stupid to have a clue what's going on, so they just pretend to make a point by saying idiotic shit like "it's both sides at fault".
@@jjjames713 Do you think Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer, "The Squad" and the rest of the Democrats care about the homeless they pass on their way home to their lavish estates? Nancy Pelosi has a refrigerator which she showed off worth $22,000. Pelosi has a huge estate with acres of property. She could set up a compound for the homeless in Los Angeles if she really cared about them.

Thank you Joe!! I grew up in the South Bronx so I appreciate your words. I made it out and live a good life but we need to focus more on these inner cities.
I don’t agree with Brand and his political views, but he’s a critical thinker, capable of changing his mind on a view point given unknown information. I respect him for that.
He’s brilliant.
@@donnieparker1811 Yeah, I really like him too. People try to call him a pseudo-intellectual, but I don't think these people are really listening to the actual content of what he says, they're too caught up with his colourful speaking style and vocabulary and just assume he's babbling... But he's a skilled speaker and debater and respectful when he's does debate. I've rarely seem him lose his 'temper' except at times when the other person is just being a dickhead and deliberately trying to bate him or trap him.
The interview with Jon Snow is particularly bad for that. Snow was being a total dickhead with Russell and completely underestimated how clever and well-spoken, and effective and clear a communicator, that Russell is.
@@childofthesun32 there is a big motivation to discredit selfthinking eloquent people with strong will, for there is nothing more dangerous to the powerfull.

Several years ago I listened to Ron Paul respond to Michael Moores movie attacking capitalism. Ron, on Larry King, agreed with everything Moore said, but corrected him, stating that the problem was not capitalism, but corporatism. And his solution was limiting lobbyists. Joe, you know what took place during the 80s with the yuppies, e.g. - "greed is good", which was when the corporations began leaving the U.S..
I had two parents who began as upper middle class, but ended up in poverty at the end of their lives. And all the social poison you suggested at the beginning of your podcast I experienced growing up. However, I was changed by spirituality which brought healing and life to me. But Christianity has been attacked by the society that has been the foundation of it.
Unfortunately, one of the big problems with this is that the people in these unfortunate communities identify with this lifestyle as their culture. Look at how people are demonized for gentrification and how we’re constantly told that it’s systematic racism when there’s an effort to remove drugs from communities.
Probably Joe Rogan's most eloquent, well-said segment of the entire the podcast
This must be the longest time in Russel's Brand life where he has not spoken...
I read this title as “America’s #1 Problem with Russell Brand” as in “Why Americans don’t like Russell Brand”
Thank you Joe Rogan ! I live in Appalachia the rest of America doesn't have a clue what it's like here .I'm thankful and sometimes actually stop and say thank you God that I have indoor plumbing ,I don't have to carry it in a bucket and build a fire in a stove too heat it to wash dishes or bathe .thousands of people in this county didn't have access to clean water until the 1980s .Sure we could get it from a creek with no idea if it was clean or not . People smart enough to get educated leave ,but what people don't get is how much harder it is for a poor kid to go too college ,all the rich kid has too worry about is getting grades ,the poor kid has too absolutely work somewhere to buy clothes food for themselves and make car payments and pay insurance and sometimes send money back home so mom can buy clothes for your siblings ,Appalachia is similar too a third world country And the rest of America ignores it

Joe doesn't understand economics so probably best to ignore him when he tries to chime in about economic issues.
@@ryanalexander5438 so very true. Capitalism might not be the problem, just how people interact within capitalism? The entire goal of capitalism is to make as much money as possible for the capitalist. To keep people in communities where they feel hopeless and stuck is what enables capitalists to exploit workers with unlivable wages and working conditions. People will subsidize a hopeless life with drugs and addictions.
Capitalism demands an endless supply of workers who are willing to work throughout their best years and miss time with family and children in order to provide for their own piece if the American Dream.
Our problem with Russel Brand? Bruh this is why we love Russel Brand.

@Meme Notyou There are ways to redistribute wealth that aren't communist in nature. Progressive tax systems, shutting down tax havens and tax avoidance methods, etc... Being 'liberal' doesn't = communism.
Meme Notyou I wasn’t talking about a redistribution of wealth, I just mean, a power company making record profits of multiple billions for the fifth year in a row while a large portion of the population struggle to pay their power bill seems a little unnecessary, but to make matters worse there will be a price hike to meet the shareholders expectations next year. All I’m really saying is, it’s 2020, nobody should be malnourished now, anywhere in the world, period.

I’ve never been homeless but I grew up in poverty in a middle class town, and something I always found confusing and hurtful was how the town ostracized me for being the poor kid, even though it wasn’t my fault. It would have been so easy to pool money together to help me, but for some reason, people punish you for being needy, and despise a poor person who isn’t able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even if help would enable them to do so.

Concerning the modern world:
When you zoom out & look at the big picture, this is what you see...
Economics runs every society.
Economics is really about the circulation of money.
Its doesn't really care about the "hows" & "whys". It only cares about competition of currencies & circulation of money.
& this is the only way that a society, that's dependent upon economics, can perpetuate itself.
Well, the problem with that is, it (the system of economics) is set up to *only* thrive, if a few have a surplus (The Haves) & most have a deficit (The Have Nots).
Take a minute to really think about my last statement.
The system of economics cannot work, if we are all winners.
Some can win, but most *must* lose.
*& we are all forced to participate*
Its a game designed to maintain only a few winners, & keep most from winning.....& we are all forced to play.
It every American had one million dollars, right now.....money would hardly be worth anything.
So you see, that even if we could just simultaneously, somehow make every American have a million dollars..... everyone would lose.
The system is designed to where everyone *can't* win. & if you could somehow try to force everyone to win......the opposite actually happens: everyone loses.
.....& we are all forced to play.
But we are told from elementary school that we live in "The Land of Opportunity".
What's the opportunity??
.....Being forced to play in a game where only a few can win.... & if you try to change it to where everyone wins, everyone loses?
I'm not really seeing the "opportunity" in that.
You too intelligent to be watching CZcams
I've been way down a number of times but never out I always got back on my feet but everytime it was due to someone caring or just trusting me with an opportunity which I then took. Please do not pass someone by if they are in need and you think you can help even if it means just talking to someone for 5.minutes. Not to put yourself at risk but you would be surprised what a little positive action on your part can do for someone who is at rock bottom
When you teach kids philosophy at a young age, the experience empowers them to make good choices and their lives improve. It's a bit old school to say that education can save us, but I think we've missed the mark on what we should be teaching our kids.

I listen to both of you quite often- and agree w/ your positions on many things. One thing I might add- given from the perspective of someone who has had a multitude of 'variables' to overcome. I say 'variables' because they weren't 'barriers'- per se. They were 'trip ups' or the opposite of 'support' (which, IMO, aren't really barriers). I have my degree in the Natural Sciences- so have taken a lot of Statistics. When done accurately, they are very informative. I came from a place of many factorable variables. By 'factorable' I mean 'variables that impose on positive outcomes.' I think people have it all wrong. For instance- a factorable variable would be childhood socio-economics. Another would be childhood abuse and neglect. Another would be familial stability and mentoring. A co-factor might be cultural and/or economic values. For instance- if we value things over people or men over women (say- in sports....because you can't fairly compare them. They aren't the same). ALL these things factor into a life.

The tax system must reflect the economy, reform it every 3 -5 years in order to fix the finances
Taxes are not the issue. Government spending and growing national debts are.
The economy, as a whole, should be reviewed every 10 years or so.
Tax reform, minimum wages, government programs/expenditures, etc.
According to the 16th amendment we can not increase taxes period. Stop being a puppet for the democratic-republican party that want to get rid of our federal government. This humanist can take his philosophy back to the U.K.: like economics stats this man should go back to U.K. and take our philosophy of being free to that phacist country. How is parliament a better government when they let Christians be killed with no way to protect t themselves. It is not materialism. It is the fact that there is not enough money to pay for everybody. The money in our economy is the amount that has been estimated as just. Look at Californian and it crumbling economy with there high taxes with no economic good that is new that can offset the inflation of pumping our economy with more money. Since you are a drug addict go and fix yourself. It is not my job to fix you, and let you steal from me. You two are truly dumb as fuck. You both like drugs. How about I stead of taking dmt. Stay sober and make a dream journal I stead of letti g your humanist intentions ruin the experience you are having. To be infuencual you need to understand what you are talking Bout. It is a p roble. With incopitnece, and not wanting to work from a young age to be successful. I see people with downsydrome, and they work. You guys are making excuses.
Well we don't know how to spend our way out of social problems like poverty and crime. Programs assumed to be social in intention may be ineffective or even work against their own stated goals.
But clearly any truly effective solution would be economically more a benefit than a burden. It's still a false economy to ignore a country's problems through blaming, rationalizing and externalizing them.
A growing social problem WILL be something that directly affects us all. Germany knows this.

Every four to eight years ( regardless of political affiliation) politicians come around and promise things-but do you ever notice nothing substantial or concrete happens in poor communities.
Nothing really changes.
Thats the goal. If you can convince everyone its in their own personal best interest to keep capitalism around then they wont even question it. Everyone in america that hasnt realized this think of themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires that will wake up from their broke dream someday. But truly the only people that wake up from the broke dream are people that realize there is more to life than money.

My whole family was poor and lived in this tiny town... I didnt have anybody outside of this town... and they kept telling me to just move... just crash on someone's couch until you get on your feet. There are no couches to crash on! Haha... when people say "they should just move" most of the time have never experienced anything like that. They generally have life lines and can just up and move. Where as with a ton of people, they really dont have the option.
The thing is, these catastrophes that Joe mentioned have to happen in order for people to act are happening every day where I grew up. These statistics *are* available too, because programs exist on a smaller level that you can reasonably generalize and associate with larger/national outcomes. This is how we test and develop solutions, it starts on a smaller level.
Things like increasing tutoring through partnerships with AmeriCorps have been proven to be effective in improving impoverished children's educations and thereby their chances in life. The problem is that the people who tend to work in these non-profit organizations - the people doing the work - are paid slave salaries! They are not incentivized to stay beyond a year of service, or 4 if they are trying to pay for college.
The system is self-interested, plain simple. They'll throw a bunch of hungry 18-year-olds using the experience as a gap year/resume builder at the problem, and sure it can have lasting benefits, but it costs too much to buy the real *change*. Childhood poverty is a $500B/year problem for the US. Those who could really be a help won't until the news starts to care more about showing the realities of ravaged communities, but it doesn't sell well & people want to eat their Wheaties in peace.
Opening statement is exactly how I feel about Australia!
Why couldn't he come at Ben Shapiro with this energy?
Because he would lose horribly and embarrass himself
DOM Corleone - Because Joe knows better than to challenge Ben Shapiro on this subject. Some people are industrious and hard working others are lazy and unmotivated no matter how many resources you give them. That's simply the world we live in...
@@brandonleesanders yes, how can you help them? There is nothing you can do to change someone's mind set.
slash2jimi - You can't help everyone. All we can do is ensure everyone has access to the same resources. People who want to succeed will help themselves...
Because he knows he's mostly just ignorant and short-sighted, instead of right when it comes to this very subject. I love it how people ignore all the known issues of systems of socialism and communism and pretend that's somehow better than the issues with capitalism. Especially when they themselves have gathered millions throughout their careers. It's also exactly why people shouldn't listen to celebrities.
Russel Brand is a very intelligent man. When him and Joe get together it’s always an amazing conversation.
LOL
But it's an empty conversation. It's just wishy washy feelings, no substance, no real structure. These guys know neither the causes of poverty, nor the effect of proposed fixes, just that "we should do something, man".
WOW Joe really is so inspirational had me in tears literally !!!
I was born in the mountains of WV tons coal miner and a psycho mom and I still made it! Happily married to my soulmate for the last 22 years 2 beautiful kids and a lovely home! Yes there is poverty here but its everywhere... Most of my fame lives comfortable lives..
