If Jim Chilton wants a wall on his property he should build one.
he not allowed to. You have to think about the fact that even though you own a property, its still controlled by the government. So if they want you out of the property to build a freeway or something else, You are out. You need permission for everything you do to your house such as additions, painting it a different color...i mean its endless. There are so many laws.
Jim Crow*
Republicans don't want to pay for overhead. That's the taxpayers job!
@@BAP3221 he can build a wall on his property. But if the feds build a wall his ranch will have to be taken. He's advocating for a property buyout more than a policy change.
hey next time you want a power grid, clean water, police protection, education for your children well... you should start building.
lol at that old rancher telling a journalist he doesn't watch the news.. wow.
Rob C yea... but you unironically watch vice even when former workers admitted that Vice had a leftist biased. (If your saying that this is fake it is Tim Pool)
+@@theindividualaccounts3792- i'm aware it's leftist. so what?
Rob C that means that they are likely presenting biased info and trying to make the right always look bad(ex. The anti brexit video, multiple anti Donald trump, etc.)
@@theindividualaccounts3792 Just because there is bias dosen't mean there is no worthwhile content to watch on Vice. It just means that maybe you shouldn't ONLY watch vice. A healthy mix of biases from reputable establishments can help you expand your worldview, but you just have to open your mind to it.
@@theindividualaccounts3792 There is no such thing as unbiased news, if you think it's unbiased you're lying to yourself. Taking in news and information from multiple sources on an issue, understanding they're all biased and making a choice about what to believe after seeing as much information as possible is the important part.
Flag @8:35 only has 48 stars. Seems like Tulsa is in desperate need of funding to update materials
I thought you were joking but it’s actually does. That flag has to be over 60 years old.
how in the hell did you notice this?
@@xtymps I'm a nerd and an American.
i noticed that as soon as i saw it too. props to you but just for the record that was the official flag of the united states until 1959. bonus points for anyone who can name the two states that became part of the union in 1959.
@@xtymps it is simple. the stars are arranged in a symmetrical array. the current flag looks nothing like that. once you recognize the difference you can count to 8 and 6 then multiply.
Glad that Teacher John Waldron won the house seat :) Love his passion
i wish they can revisit the ranch guy after the election lol
"The best argument against Democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter."
"they will learn and they will learn it from teachers" powerful quote
To the Rancher mad about the drug Cartels: LEGALIZE, TAX and REGULATE the recreational drug market for the less harmful substances, especially Cannabis and watch those cartels implode as that drug policy sends a ripple effect through Latin American countries.
Rediculous proposition -- unless your goal is to bury our country!
Kathy & Richard Widowski how so?
@@kathyrichardwidowski2978
Portugal did it and they're surviving.
Drug consumption went down, as did gang activity.
Our drug policy is a billion dollar gift to the cartels and a scourge on our tax dollars for policing.
Pure Caffeine You need to stop illegal immigration as well. So that won’t help, may as well build the wall
@@Blakearoberts If you think that a wall will stop people who come from some of the most dangerous countries in the west after walking for hundreds of miles, you are sorely mistaken :D
Some of those caravan migrants were sitting on the great wall and taunting guards ffs
Some common sense immigration reform would be a first step (I am NOT for open borders)
Really glad McSally lost
Those teachers are raising one hell of a compassionate kid.
9:53 "Frodo had to leave the shire, to save the shire"
Im laughing so hard... but that's genius
Ive started to watch vice in the past couple of weeks and I gotta say I'm impressed. They ask really thoughtful questions.
@3:46 all the drugs your grand children are buying. Supply and demand.
Harvard Villegas So... what are you saying?
Legalize those drugs you mentioned old man and that cartel crime you mentioned would instantly disappear.
Good on you Vice I commented on your other video for not covering the midterms very well but this makes up for it.
Great episode! Made me tear up when the teacher spoke about hungry children
The teacher around 9:00 is like Duncan Trussell haha
Athens, Georgia has a special place in my heart. I have a lot of family there and I'm happy to know that there's been a lot of grassroots advocacy for civil rights issues
Is there a reason you choose not to show the results of the election for the stories that you followed for the special?
“I am sure”
That doesn’t confirm the need.
You think you need a wall? Visit the Berlin Wall and have a say.
Thank you. Excellent reporting.
I grew up in a two-teacher household (both parents are teachers). I really empathize with the OK teacher and his plight. I'm really glad he's doing something about it.
Is there a follow up on the results?
John Waldron (the teacher) won
Prop 2 in Idaho passed. :D
Gop is trying to steal the election in Georgia
The blue wave happened homie 😀
Synema the Democrat won in Red Az
This made me cry so much...
Educators work *too* hard and have way too large an impact in forming sensible perspectives and functioning adults NOT to be paid *at least* national median income. That they are paid like they work at a fast food restaurant says all anyone needs to know about our educational system in this country.
16:16 hahahaha he states the belief of most my teachers.
@ViceNews. So how do we get a follow up to this story?
For being so pissed couldn’t the rancher build a slightly better fence
@19:00"I'm so excited my socks are rolling up and down"
that was me voting for obama the first time around
Van Waldron has one hell of a dialect
"People say they're not into politics, but then politics happens to them."
Mr Waldron gang
The Potato Productions gang gang
This the vice news that firstly i loved not the biased later one. fair and balanced report, although i am foreigner, i like fair media in everywhere in the world bc sometimes they are the part of the problem. Please keep it
"You haven't watched the news" *works for the news*
he means the "real news" aka Fox "News"
Me being a moderate I completely understand the problem the rancher is facing
i understand the ranchers perspective, i really do. i would hate it if drug cartels used my land as a silk road for harmful substances. but the long term solution isnt 'secured borders', at least not in the way that republicans mean when they use that phrase. we need to have much more reasonable substance laws, unharmful things like weed need to be decriminalized and taxed properly, opioid addiction needs to be dealt with in new ways, not the "zero tolerance, war on drugs" way.
In regards to people crossing the border as immigrants, not drug traffickers, we actually have forced more people to stay here long term with our stricter immigration policies. for one, most 'illegal immigrants' come to the us by plane, not by foot. for two, manual laborers that come to the us to work on farms used to only come seasonally, they would leave again in the off-season. but when they fear that they wont be able to come back and work that job again next year, they just stay all year and become an illegal resident. and thats when people can reasonably worry about them placing strain on the system. but if we dont make the migrant workers fear they wont be able to come back again to work the manual labor jobs (that no american citizen actually wants) then a lot of them would not be living here full time.
so, i understand the fear of drug cartels, and the desire to stop them. but republican rhetoric isnt about dealing with mexican border illegal crossings because some are for drugs, its about how all mexicans are bad and criminals and so none of them should be coming here. and i dont believe for a second that the rancher in this video really fears or hates mexicans, he just hates the drug cartels, and for good reason! hes been duped by trumps larger than life personality and dynamic speech, and thinks that trump cares about what he cares about. but he doesnt! he is only using border policy as a talking point to get racists and normal conservatives alike to vote for him. that rancher hears sensible border policy when trump talks, but racists hear racist rhetoric and dog whistles. trump has truly hijacked the republican party.
John Walton was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives. In Idaho, Prop 2 passed with 60% of the vote. And In Arizona, Krysten Sinema has become the first Democrat elected to the US Senate since 1988! TAKE THAT OLD MAN!
8:55 That teacher sounds exactly like Duncan Trussel.
Excuse you, that's my teacher. wait, should I take offense to that-?
@@kat-vt2tr
Hey, Duncan's an awesome guy. 🤷🏾♂️
@@negkoray rip sorry then. I'm just really defensive cause that's my favorite teacher lmao
Did the teacher win? As a fellow Tolkien geek and the daughter of a high school English teacher, I really hope he won.
Claressa Lucas yeah he won:)
I must say that part was kinda misleading. He made it seem as if he was a long shot candidate but he really wasn’t. His district is one of the few democratic districts in Oklahoma. They made it seem like the race would be a nail biter but he won by 17 points
@@nickymiceli2746 Thanks for letting me know!!!
@@claressalucas8922 yeah ofc. I still think it’s Cool story but he was not the long shot candidate that vice portrayed him as
I am so glad to be a Swiss citizen! Our country works and we are well insured and have grate sozial safety networks! Direct democracy is the key!
I struggle and I drive a jeep and own a house.lol
Trump-pets getting triggered by the thumbnail already! Haha!
Did Vice forget about Florida? Or they just suppressing the issue?
This is Vice's mid term culmination special, right?
@@ghidfe I haven't gotten there yet, I commented because I already saw 10 dislikes on a video that just came out, do people even watch the video before they like or dislike anymore?
@@KingKong-ws6zx Just ignore the dislikes. It's an army of trolls disliking everything. You can see it easily by looking at the comments after a while. Even though there are always more likes than dislikes, the only comments who get voted up a lot are negative troll comments, because they bother liking each others comments. It doesn't represent reality, they only try to make it seem like they are the overwhelming majority. They're not though.
@@Mussi93 Pointing out falsies and holes is trolling?? I thought it was called science.
@@KingKong-ws6zx yep 22:16. Its all about socialism, globalism, and misled empathetic extremism.
You have a fairly high dislike ratio. Not because people don't like the message, but because you take far too long to summarise. I would edit it to include your goals at the START. c
HEALTHCARE FOR ALL!
0:53 way to go with the over dramatic music for the intro Vice the Only thing your missing for your introduction to this video is the stereotypical action movie trailer narrator that says “In a world where ......”
5:28 Any rational person knows that supply and demand(especially for such a hugely demanded,massively profitable range of products) will scoff at a wall.
Jim is upset saying to build a wall as if they have never dug tunnels under the fence.
So did he win?!
John Waldron won! Yay
only here for kyrsten Sinema
What’s the old guy with the ranch and the Bared wire fence complaining about. I must have heard trump say he was going to build a big beautiful wall and Mexico 🇲🇽 was going to pay for it as soon as he was elected when he was campaigning for president. I’m sure Mexico is going send over that 20 billion dollars any day now😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations John you won 🍾🍾
🇺🇸 BERNIE 2020 🇺🇸
I truly believe a progressive will beat Trump in 2020. Elizabeth Warren blew it with that DNA test and I believe she is part of the establishment. Bernie is the way to go not Joe biden, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kristen Gilibrand, And John Delaney
Kinda mad California gas is more expensive than the Idaho gas
Hi who here excited for 2020
I'm living all this people'. Everyine just needs to smoke a d chill out lol
I have lived in Oklahoma all of my life. I voted for Drew Edmondson who conceded to Kevin Stitt. It is disparaging to know that Oklahomans continue to vote against their best interest.
3:58 give this guy credit he said “this is what trump was talking about” so he is one of the few people that can decipher what the president is saying when he is speaking when the vast majority of us hear him yelling an incoherent bigoted, stream of consciousness rant every time he utters a word. This guy is like Elisha Thorn-berry but for our 45th President. #TrumpWhisperer
19:26 Democrats took the House. No wall for you! Better start getting angry 😂
I love how the old Arizona rancher firmly believes that a wall would stop the drugs coming into the country.... except, you know, people can either dig tunnels under the wall or simply throw drug packages over the wall and have someone on the other side pick them up. I mean, those organizations would adapt to a wall. If you want to stop the drug trafficking, you gotta go to the root causes and how to stop the cartels in and of themselves (e.g. decriminalization and regulation of drugs might help).
#blueTsunami2018
silvers at $14 an oz, buy now before the debt bubble explodes and the prices shoots to $1000. The house of cards will come falling down soon!
16:48 Exact same argument was used on Katie Hobbs, and the dems didn't care
I am angry,says a guy who owns 50000 acre ranch.people near the pain should be near power,not other way round.
That old rancher only wants the wall because hes got fifty thousand acres, and wants a free wall for his property, from the government.
Good family playing MTG
Congrats to Idaho for the Medicaid expansion passing. Its despicable for their legislature to previously vote it down.
2:45 ... Shut the funk up!🤔
I'm never voting again.
It hurts to see teachers be so abused by our country. These people deserve more respect and gratitude than any other profession. We spend mind boggling amount of money on wars and destruction but can’t support the foundation of our country.
We spend far more on education actually
Rodger Murphy where’s the proof chump
@@rodgermurphy5721 it certain parts yes. Like in Massachusetts teachers have it well but not in Oklahoma or other southern states
Its different now. Thats right ! 2022 Things are worse!
I’m here for AOC.
the women looking at the border looks like a becky
this thumbnail made me puke
I am very proud of the recent lies from Grassley and Graham. Very convincing.
Trump 2020
Take those MAGA hats off & throw them in the 🗑 !!
Everybody in that thumb nail except the black chick shouldent be in politics
Activist Election? Smh I guess, liberals (not Liberals; liberals) #Socialism #thefuture
Not only am I against the non transformative nature of being a conservative, i'm against the wasted energy put into voting against this. However, I must say, my mom is a substitute teacher in Louisiana and she makes minimum wage...which is about 7.30 or so an hour and would be absolutely astounded to be able to make enough to afford a house,
I don't understand this unexamined simultaneous attempt at portraying middle class people who make salaried jobs as suffering, whilst showing video footage of poor black folk in Chicago being slaughtered by the pigs.....and emphasizing the former over the latter.
Yeah capitalism is a shitty system and Marx outlined this pretty comprehensively in the nineteenth century when he wrote both the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts and Capital in three volumes, yet why is there this emphasis on the non existent suffering of teachers who can maintain property ownership under capitalism?
They don't know what it's like to struggle for your life, yet they can project their, as Melanie Klein outlined, projective identification and subsequent self entitlement all over everyone else.
I'm merely at a loss for words concerning this unexamined disparity.
hail trump
Education is free in this country what do you expect?
So Ho Education is not free! There is public school available without direct cost to the children through grade 12, however it is paid for by a small portion of tax paid by homeowners. The government has the choice to divert more money to support the education of their people or let those inspired to teach suffer and continue to be underpaid.
My question is, why is it so easy to scare Americans? Canadians live just across the border, yet Canadians aren't so easy to scare, so why is that? I really don't get why Americans are so easy to manipulate and control!
First
You'd think that an only child in a house with two teachers would be able to actually speak properly and not like a 2 year old. Before getting all political how about you stop crippling your kid
The cold, hard truth is: your vote, your opinion does not matter. There is a circle of people in the shadows that pull the strings, that influence humanity to their whim. The ONLY way to take their power away is to not play the game
Lmao people really cried and got depressed when trump was elected 😂😂😂
That depression was but a symptom of their problems.
I didn't
Just like conservatives bitched and moaned through 8 years of Obama
Rob Parra ok
Okay, that was two years ago. Make a relevant comment about nov 6th.
I don’t understand why these people vote against their interests, we need better education system away from religion.
the crying hamplanet with the meme feminist glasses is gonna be all over the chans
They should keep politics out of our schools
El no, definitely not an option. Politics are about making decisions that effect our daily lives, taking that away from children would be crippling them. Now if you mean we should keep partisanship out of schools than we can talk.
Teachers are biased when they teach politics we should teach kids about doing their taxes not politics
@@el5495 we learn about American politics In every social studies class (that's content takes place in the u.s.a)weather, it's past or present. Politics are important as they are the basis for our everyday life. Most kids in america go to public school which is always on the ballots for one reason or another because public school is a STATE RUN PROGRAM. School's teach about politic, taxes, credit cards, renting, and buying houses. The issue though with its teaching is it often only teaches taxes and things like that once or twice over a 13 year period of learning(kindergarten to 12th grade)
If they keep politics out of schools they need to do the same with religion.
*????? Nigerita????? That can't be true in these Times? I bet you they miss spelt it because it sounds made up sorry but it sounds like a lie? Maybe they meant to say margarita?😑😬😒*
Vice very cringy video sorry!
Some pretty biased news
Thanks for the views = $$$
Your mom is biased
And HBO is not cable.
How?
vote blue or we will create our own votes
Voters triggered by recounts, democracy is a fragile thing...
