- My advice to President Biden:
Let Republicans continue yelling about their culture war nonsense. Drown them out by campaigning against corporate greed.
That's how the working class vote will be won in 2024.
Well said. As a working class citizen of the United States I approve of this message.
And you have been summarily duped by the duopoly that has made a mess of this democracy.
Get educated you working class citizen, Biden himself destroyed the economy.
BLBLBLA! VOTE 💙💙!!
Working poor here. I'm voting blue again this election. Positive vibes from New Hampshire, remember to be kind to each other and yourself during these trying times.
@@tammystockley-loughlin7680 Working poor is voting for more of the same. Brilliant!
Absolutely! This needs to be aired on mainstream media as a paid public service announcement.
Agreed. Everyone need to see this so we can laugh at reichs stupidity.
True but since the wealthy own the media, it never will be aired.
@@censorship_cant_stop_truth2 The only stupidity is shown on your part, proving your ignorance knows no bounds. Take a hike, Jr.

Got that right, Robert. We need to go after the greed
“Follow the money”, right to the doorsteps of the oligarchs.

Government is greed.
Damn Right...! 😊 👍 “When does the greed stop?!!!” Sen Edward Kennedy - 2007
You will be going after every Democrat in congress.
"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both."

Yes, oligarchy untethered is fascism.
@@clarestucki5151the laws of economics are a construct. It's not a natural law like gravity or relativity. It's like creating a game, forcing people to play it, then criticizing people for not being aware of the rules you made up.

So, your more worried about wealthy people, less the fact America is on track to lose its democracy~~Id rather democracy, and steady paying job, than a fascist controlling our lives~~
I agree go after big corporations
And follow the trail from there!
I think the biggest thing Biden should do that will have a very immediate and very obvious effect that corporate media can't excuse away is raising the minimum wage to 15 dollars.

My great grandfather was a coal miner and wasn’t stupid enough to vote GOP. Ditto with his Yellow Dog Democrat daughter (my grandma) and his great granddaughter (me - 40+ years staunch Democrat). FDR is a hero to me.
My father lived through the great depression. Even though he was a registered Republican, he saw FDR the same way. When Reagan was elected in 1980 he voted for Carter. After that he hardly ever voted for a Republican. He saw them for the lying bastards they are.
FDR is a hero to the world.
Except for fascists.
FDR, yes, best president
My gramps and his brothers arrived at Ellis Isle and wound up in Pennsie Coal Mines, I can't watch Deer Hunter w/I tearing up about those brave,funny Pollocks! ✌️
FDR was a leader and a hero. The greatest American President since Lincoln. I worked union most of my life and lived better because of it. We need leaders like John L Lewis UMW again.

Dear Biden if there’s anyone you should listen to is Richard Reich! This is exactly what the American people want!

"....the lies of Republicans will fill the void" was a powerful and profoundly true statement. Thank you for telling it right off the cuff.
Lies of the republicans?
Do you mean like:
The border is secure?
Russian collusion?
Hunter’s laptop is Russian disinformation?
The Afghanistan withdraw was a massive success?
LOL - or perhaps you mean when Biden said that he “created 12 million jobs. More than any administration in history.” (As if allowing people to go back to work after forcing their businesses to close is synonymous with creating ions.)
Let’s face it, Reich simply doesn’t know what truth is.
Reichs lies have already filled the void
but it's wrong. the morons on the right don't care about facts. Logic. Reason. They care about hate. That's why they vote against themselves over and over and over... Biden, and the rest of us, can shout till we're blue in the face - they WON"T listen. We have to vote. We have to have control of the levers of goverment. Or our country dies...
Let's pretend democrats are anything but the other cheek, from the same @$$
The blatant partisanship that your comment displays ignores the utter duplicity of BOTH parties! The "good guy - bad guy" scenario is a ruse to manipulate everyone!
The selfish money-interest people do not realize that crippling working people and the middle class will create a collapse which does affect them since they also depend on infrastructure and working people's efforts to enjoy their obscene hording of land, products and services. It is unsustainable.
The ultra rich don't care about infrastructure. They'll only care when profits fall repeatedly, over several years, at which point they will ask the question, "What do you mean, we have a shortage of consumers?! Why is generation Z smaller than any previous generation ever? We have a consumer based economy, and these middle class people have stopped having babies! THIS IS SOME SERIOUS SHIT!!!"
Exactly this, even the rich live better in a landscape with low inequality. They don't have their personal spacecraft or ocean liners but they do have less crime, strife and more technical and creative advances.
That's why I would like to see Universal Basic Income implemented. It enables entrepreneurship across all income brackets, and it ensures there is a market for the goods and services created by those new entrepreneurs.
@@BewareTheGreatLiquidation Unfortunately, there are some problems with this statement: assuming the rich are logical, self aware, that they care about progress, crime, or strife. There's a reason wars are started by the men that never fight in them. The rich are not affected by the problems they create, so they have no incentive to fix them.
CEOs don't care about income inequality. Every dollar that doesn't go to the workers who assemble the products, and provide the services the business sells, is a dollar that can go to the CEO.
Brilliant video. I hope the Dems at the top pay attention.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Dems at the top are part of this...any Democrat who demonized Burnie Sanders in last election is for the rich & not the average American
The dems don't pay attention. The dems have to be total incompetent idiots or they're working for the wealthy.
"Brilliant" 😂 this guy is an idiot and his support for canceling student loans is the proof
@@passurlamer WE ARE CHOOSING our politicians and in that way we are choosing our government. When enough voters choose politicians who will work for us instead of the wealthy, things will change for the better for the majority.
That is all good but I have to add that getting people who are eligible to vote who aren’t bothering to vote is increasingly important in our country and our party does not seem to address this non-participation.
Give them a reason to vote. Show them they have someone to vote for who gives a shit. That gets people out to vote.
Make voting MANDATORY like in Australia!
Stacey Abrams was leading the charge on this, but, she's pretty quiet now. we need others to step up to the plate.

Thank you for this work !!
Reich is a propagandist
No he most certainly is not.
Great advice! C'mon Dems, don't let the R's control the political narrative. Also - get the message out about how much the Biden/Harris administration has accomplished on behalf of the American people! So frustrating to see so many positive legislation passed and it seems like the response from the people is "meh" and low approval ratings.
😂 biden hasn't done anything but lie and print money for wars.
The economy is rough for us low wage earners. That is bad for approval ratings. There is still some time to improve, we shall see.
The problem is that the democrats are a centrist party, not a leftist party.
Holy shit are you serious? Are you really this blind ?
We need more fact reporting (and campaigning) on the positive things President Biden and his administration have accomplished. And can someone please explain that inflation wasn't caused by President Biden, but by many factors - a lot of which were caused by Trump and the Republican party, and also by the results of the Covid pandemic. Sound bites don't really inform people about the facts. Educate voters, don't just try to sway them. We are all feeling the effects of inflation, but one man (President Biden) did not cause inflation. I think a lot of Trump supporters are still hanging on because of the stress to them personally that inflation and other economic woes are causing them.
Robert, your unwavering passion and energy for doing what is right is truly inspirational.
I am not an American, I am an Australian. While we live in two totally different countries, some of the same issues exist here. Namely wealth inequality, nonsensical tax cuts for the wealthy, homelessness, the commoditization of housing etc.
You are an inspiration to me and others. The situation isn't hopeless, we just need to stand up and demand better from our leaders.
ALWAYS GLAD TO HEAR DR. REICH'S COMMENTARY ON VARIOUS TOPICS. HIS SINCERITY & INTELLECT IS NEAT. 👍🏼👍🏽
Lay off the caps lock ffs.🤦♂️🤡
If we could improve our education systems, we might educate future voters who would vote for positive change based in science and reason as opposed to those who vote against their best interests out of fear.
Yeah, that will never work. You have to have an entire generation of people willing to do those jobs for all the right reasons without getting greedy. It will never happen because humans are flawed and greed is too powerful to overthrow.
Outlaw hone schooling for a good start on better education in the US.
Thank you for always explaining these important issues. You're a national treasure. 💙🇺🇸
Thank you Mr. Reich! Our elected leaders need to work in our interest, not in the interest of the wealthy and corrupt.
Yeah that’s why joe is being voted out in 2024
Greed ain't good. Always reaching for the brass ring; buying lotto tickets and dreaming of living on easy street. Big money wants you to be envious of them and it works on a lot of folks.

So you believe children aren't being coaxed into taking puberty blockers? Or perhaps you just don't have a problem with it.
Finally someone with courage and common sense is telling it like it is and challenging us to speak up and demand positive, necessary change now.
Marianne Williamson, a Democratic candidate for the presidency in 2024, has been telling the truth and demanding change like this for quite awhile now; unfortunately the DNC and establishment media have been freezing her out, and many progressive folks don't even know she is running.
Its been a year since your comment, nothing has changed!
The entire Congress is owned by special interests and Congress will always vote as these special interests dictate. The only way to eliminate this corruption is to eliminate lobbying by big pharma, Wall Street, big business and the military-industrial complex.
Now Ford's saying it's their best deal & STILL falls short of what UAW is asking. Now ppl are starting to criticize union for not being fair. Here's a thought, how about CEO'S majorly taking pay cuts?🤔 Bargaining in good faith, HELL NO! And by the way, I'm NOT an auto worker. 👍✊🖖🇺🇸
It’s never too late to change the World 🌎!
You are so right! as usual Robert! Joe needs to put on his boxing gloves and fight for all of us on the left!
A good start on that would be getting in the habit of punching harder rightward than leftward.

Joes can’t even walk up the stairs or navigate his way off stage, let alone fight for the far left 😂

@@moe47988 Reich relies on evidence for his arguments. Facts matter to him. They should matter to all of us.
I think you mean tells you what you want to hear.
Well said! My only comment is that I wish more people would include executive compensation with stock options in this discussion. It perverts leadership incentives and it (along with tax free stock swaps) is the biggest tax loophole and contributor to growth of ceo wealth.
The stock option has led more ceo scumbags to cook the books on the future of companies to short term pump up the stock value. But tank the long term viability of the company.
@@frankgrabasse4642 Agreed. Without it, the goal is to grow the company. With stock options, the goal is to grow the stock.
I totally agree. The differentian between rich and poor is appalling.
That’s right! Go after the corporate greed. Democrats haven’t been strong enough. They’re standing by too quietly. They need to stand strong and call out the corporate greed for what it is. Great video!
You didn't mention repealing Citizens United, because that's (probably) exponentially harder, although the graphs say income inequity began to climb before 2010 when the Supreme Court passed it.
Love this! Hope and pray it goes forward to the ears and hearts of those who need to hear it.
The Brilliant Robert Reich always TELLS IT LIKE IT IS in plain direct language...!!! BRAVO...! 😊 👍 -70SomethingGuy

☝☝One thousand percent agreed!!! 👍👍
Bob, thank you for doing these videos!
Well said Robert the whole population needs to hear the truth as you put it.
No regulations. That, is the biggest problem. We need major regulations, across the board. Put a cap on how much, businesses can earn. Or, how much property, one could own. And, a people's government, to rid ourselves of, the one we unfortunately, have now……….
You know they will not bite the hand that feeds them
Yup. Democrats are at least as corrupt as the GOP when it comes to economic matters. Hell even when it comes to social issues they refuse to fix anything because i's all they have to run on.
I don't take that as axiomatic. The fact that money is power will not go away, nor the fact that money is the mother's milk of politics. But forces are vectors, and when vectors are 180° opposed, the stronger one wins. The fact that money talks is something we need to treat as a challenge, and amass our forces against it, and force the Democrats to fear the voters more than the donors.
@@n8chz history has a habit of repeating itself. Humans have been here many times over.
We’ve come full circle to a hundred years ago (or like a suspension bridge graph from your documentary Inequality For All).

Right on! There’s a reason populism resonates, but it doesn’t have to be authoritarian and conservative. Populism can be progressive and liberal! America needs this message.
Great talk. Very true. Thanks a lot.

Thank you, Mr. Reich. Always human and always on point.
Great podcast!
Thank you for stating a simple but deep truth. Also, this is why Greed is considered one of the 7 Deadly Sins.
If you really felt this way, then you would donate everything you don't need to charity, and sell your car in favor of the cheapest possible model.
Greed is human nature and a necessary evil. Don't play into the left right lies.

Greed isn’t just wanting more, it’s wanting more at the expense of someone else.
@@maryperry1773 Except that wealth isn't a zero sum game, you don't get rich by making somebody poor, or at the expense of someone else. That's one of the great fallacies and lies of the left-wing point of view.
💯💯
So true! Income inequality is the basic problem in society today!
As a working citizen of the United States, I approve this message from Robert Reich.
I like how he praises the good things that have been done as well as demanding more.
Unfortunately, the countries with parliaments (representative democracy) are in fact oligarchies (few lead). In order to be a true democracy, the decisions of the Parliament should be submitted to the approval of the citizens. The "fatigue" of democracy occurs when there is a big difference between the interests of those elected and the voters, so people lose confidence in the way society function. As a result, the poor and desperate citizens will vote with whoever promises them a lifeline, i.e. the populists or demagogues. The democratic aspect is a side effect in societies where economies have a strong competitive aspect, where the interests of those who hold economic power in society are divergent. Thus, those with money, and implicitly with political power in society, are supervising each other so that none of them have undeserved advantages due to politics. Because of this, countries with large mineral resources, like Russia and Venezuela (their share in GDP is large), do not have democratic aspects, because a small group of people can exploit these resources in their own interest. In poor countries, the main resource exploited may even be the state budget, as they have converging interests in benefiting, in their own interest, from this resource. This is what is observed in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, no matter which party comes to power, the result is the same. The solution is modern direct democracy in which every citizen can vote, whenever he wants, over the head of the parliamentarian who represents him. He can even dismiss him if most of his voters consider that their interests are not right represented.
Those who think that democracy is when you choose someone to make decisions for you without him having to consult you, are either a fool or a scoundrel. It's like when you have to choose from several thieves who will steal from you. It's like when you have to build a house and you choose the site manager and the architect, but they don't have the duty to consult with you. The house will certainly not look the way you want it, but the way they want it, and even more surely you will be left without money and without the house. It is strange that outside of the political sphere, you will not find, in any economic or sports activity, someone elected to a leadership position and who has failure after failure and who is fired only after 4 years. We, the voters, must be consulted about the decisions and if they have negative effects we can dismiss them at any time, without to wait until the term to be fulfilled, because we pay, not them. In any company, the management team comes up with a plan approved by the shareholders. Any change in this plan must be re-approved by the shareholders and it is normal because the shareholders pay.
Our voting citizens are often uneducated, misinformed, and gullible enough to vote anyway the wind blows.
corporations must go back to their original name ! ROBBER BARONS !!
The forces that rig an economy and a person's ethical integrity don't go away. Not when we don't know the people we're affecting. Country is too big, states are too big and somehow we landed on globalization. Far too many independent variables for it to remain honest.
How about give advice to Marianne Williamson? A candidate who actually speaks to the same issues you champion with a PLAN OF ACTION to work for the American working class first and foremost. Biden is not that guy. We don't need any more status-quo managers.
She has no experience, no qualifications and no chance. We're not voting for another Ralph Nader or Jill Stein, who just hands the election over to the Republicans.
I have Horrific news for Republicans .
Since World War II, there have been 12
elections were an incumbent president has run. In those elections, if the unemployment rate is below 6.5%, in October of the election year, the incumbent is 6-0. If the unemployment rate is above 6.5%, in October of the election year, the incumbent is 2-4..THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS CURRENTLY 3.6%
1948. Harry Truman 3.7% ..Won
1956 Dwight Eisenhower 3.9%..won
1964 Lyndon Johnson..5.1%..won
1972 Richard Nixon..5.6%..won
1976 Gerald Ford...7.7%..lost
1980..Jimmy Carter..7.5%lost
1984 Ronald Reagan..7.4% won
1992 George Bush..7.3,%..lost
1996 Bill Clinton.. 5.4% won
2004. George W. Bush 5.5% won
2012 Barack Obama 7.8% won
2020..Donald Trump..6.9% lost
Bush won in 2000 and 2004, Obama won in 2008 and 2012.
And what good are those jobs for the sake of endless growth, greedy undersupply and wasteful oversupply, endless extraction and pollution?
Unfortunately, an unbalanced amount of all of that production/wealth is going to the 1%. Only subsistence pay goes to the actual workers. Not only should the extremely wealthy work towards more equitable pay for workers, it should also go towards sustainable production. At the expense of additional wealth for the 1%, this isn't going to happen.@@toyotaprius79

Thank you. I've been asking for SOMEONE to say this.
All of these observations and insights are not new to anybody who pays attention and has the capacity to think. The question is, why are so many Americans not paying attention and not thinking? Has is something to do with their upbringing and education?
We are paying attention... But they've blocked the will of the people for the last 40 years through corruption, union busting, bribes, gerrymandering, and use of religion against us. Very few leaders are honest about it because they all take money from corporate America.
Fox Nooz propaganda blinds them.
He ain't going to do this they paid part of his salary
And work to repeal Citizens United!
Great, great episode. Great speech. Thank you.
Here's a tip, don't run again. We need a young(or at least a non stummbling) president.
Greed destroys everything.
Robert is right!!! Again. As he always is. We need to hear this. Please reshare everywhere.
Mr. Reich, Thank you for your relentless sharing of the truth. You are my hero!
I find it quite profound that, time and time again, whenever there is a boom in the economy, the CEOs get to rake in the profits; but when there's a bust, it falls on the workers to stick it out. That's not a compromise. That is a hostage situation.
This is truth! It is so plain now. Thank you for this, Robert Reich. What a great teacher!
Robert,
Keep hitting that nail on the head!😉
You should be in government, a leader with common sense!!!👍
I am an independent voter. Any candidate that listens to your advice I will vote for. You explain it right down to the point 👍🙂
I love Robert Reich! Thank you so much for making these.
Please President Biden, go after corporate greed! Thank you Robert Reich, for this great presentation.You are awesome!
Thank you from Australia for your work ❤
Most republicans voted today to select a speaker of the house who is a election denier. WTF
And one of the big traitors of Jan 6.
Well said Mr. Reich. Thank you for all your efforts to help save democracy and move our natuon towards a more equitable country.
Thank you, Robert, for your clear insights.
Thank you for being a voice of reason. Your presentations are short but convey very important information. I hope the Democrats listen and act.
Would blaming corporate America even work in this modern day and age? I think the common man and woman on the street has a hard time identifying "the bad guys" in our society. I don't think they have a real true feeling for it anymore. People are out of touch and distracted.
Thank you 😊
Corporate Greed is also THE #1 reason for inflation and everyone paying double and triple of what things used to cost only a couple of years ago.
A good place to start would be corporate law. Piracy of any type should be illegal. And that, essentially, is corporate law. Thank you so much, Robert!
Robert Reich for President, I know this wouldn't happen. But we need someone like you. Thanks for all your videos
